Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Had a much needed night out with DH and friends last night. Wasn't planned, which made it that much better. Singing karaoke with DH was the best part; I'm so glad that after 7 years together people can still see how in love we are. Got so many comments from everyone around about how obvious it is that we are still a "hot couple." Hahaha! Lots of laughs, good drinks, even better company. Perfect remedy for taking our minds off everything going on lately.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do with your SO? We love taking random car rides. We've actually pulled out a map, closed our eyes, picked a spot and spent the day exploring. Radio turned up, windows down, and the open road.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I had my first acupuncture appointment yesterday and I LOVED it!! She gave me some great insight into a few diet changes I need to make (all of which I already knew but have been dragging my feet on) and we had some really great conversation about TTC. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience for me

GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do with your SO? Curl up with DH on the couch with a bottle of wine and a plate of snacks, chatting about anything and everything.
@chrlyr: I wouldn't worry about the temps during AF or at the beginning, since they can jump around.

WAYDTGKU: Sex, temping, PNV
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Still nothing at the moment.

WAYDTGKU: pnv, sex ED, charting temp and CM
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I will add my chart from my phone in a new comment. Yesterday I temped 36.27 (Celsius, I'm weird), but then I wanted to test my thermometer in terms of reproducibility so re-temped immediately after without moving and I got 36.44 then 36.37. Gah! If I use the first temp or the third temp, FF keeps me WTO. If I use the second (highest) temp, FF gives me dotted CH at CD12 and puts me at 3dpo (dotted b/c I still have fertile CM or so I think - that stuff's confusing). What temp would you guys use? I intend to continue to HIO but I'm just wondering what others would do in this situation with respect to charting.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do with your SO? Hiking.
CD: Forty freaking SIX. BUT I had cramps last night so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that maaaaaybe AF will come today???
WAYDTGKU: Wooo! My first ever delivery of Wondfo OPK's and HPT's should be delivered today! I'm so sick of spending $$$ constantly due to my super unpredictable cycles, so at least I can test now without feeling guilty about wasting $. I'm also going to order a BBT today :-) I thought I wanted to avoid all this temping/testing/business for as long as possible, but now I'm leaning towards thinking it will at least ease my worries about my body working "right".
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I'm raving over the fact that I actually went through with having my blood drawn yesterday, despite hating anything needle/blood related. I felt pretty queasy and had to lie there for a while afterwards, but I did it! Should get my results next week. The funny thing was - I made H come with me for moral support and HE almost passed out too! Two nurses and a doctor were all cracking up at us, asking why I brought him for support if he couldn't handle it!
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do with your SO? I love out at-home date nights, where we just make a nice dinner and drink a bottle of wine. H gets VERY sentimental and nostalgic when drinking :-)
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: I just starting checking my cervix position so I think I am now doing everything.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My fingers are crossed for a relatively normal cycle and that I will O in the near future. Temping (at 6AM) and sexing could be a bit challenging as we spend the long weekend with in-laws at their camp where the loft bedrooms are open to the living areas below.
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: Nada right now - AF
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: AF came last night and even though I was expecting it, I was still bummed. DH made me eggplant parm to cheer me up, though, which was very sweet. It was delicious!
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do with your SO? Walking around our neighborhood and talking/eating. We live in a suburb that has a very downtown feel to it. The street we live on has lots of restaurants, shops, and bars so we walk everywhere we can together.

WAYDTGKU: I thought I was having a short period but it showed up again yesterday afternoon and today, I'm just spotting so I'm glad to see it go. My BBT came in the mail yesterday so I took my temp this AM. Man, 60 seconds feels like a lifetime when you're half asleep. My chart looks lonely with one little temp but I know it will fill up soon.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Nothing really, just excited because of science. AND, DH & I are going to a grand opening thing this weekend for a distillery that he makes labels for so there's free food and moonshine. Woo! DS will be with MIL and we're staying in a hotel.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do with your SO? We have late night talks quite frequently and that is one of the most comforting things to do with him. The most fun is taking trips or just little drives around town with him. We're truly best friends so we pick on each other and laugh constantly.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: temp went up this morning. I guess I am throwing out the data from the expensive as f%#$ OPKs. My timing was better with them. We will just wait and see on my temps.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do with your SO? Act like a kid with him. We went to one of the old school car washed were you put coins in and manually spray and clean your car. We had a big water fight and that was one of the best days I've had with him. Anything where we can just let loose and have fun.

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, BD
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I know it's too early to tell, but I had a temp drop this morning. Surely I'm not ovulating yet. Even though my cycle is short (24 days) this would still be a little early for me. Plus CM was sticky this morning. But, we're kicking up the BD frequency so maybe we're still good.

CD: 1.. Hello, b*tch AF!
WAYDTGKU: All the things! I didn't get to temp this morning as AF woke me up at 1:30. I felt it wouldn't be accurate. Plus, DH let me sleep in because Friday!
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Probably the only time you'll hear me say I'm excited about AF. This will be the first full cycle of temping. I started temping after O last month & realized I had a longer cycle (33 days). I'm excited to get this going in the right direction! Yay for baby making!
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do with your SO? Sounds corny, but really, anything. We enjoy our time together. As I type this I will say exploring. We love to explore and find new places & enrich our life! We live on the coast so there is always a different part of the coast we haven't seen with cool, new fantasies to see!

WAYDTGKU: All the things...

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I had a 19 day period. I made an appointment with the doctor and then I stopped bleeding. They aren't doing anything for me which is frustrating. I am pretty sure i am probably not ovulating. Here's to hoping this cycle goes better. Only time will tell though.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do with your SO? We spend most of our days with our kids so when we do get time alone we like to go to the dinner theater.

TTC #1 Feb 2015
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: We started HIO yesterday. Will be EOD until AF or BFP. DH is stoked. That was a lot of acronyms.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Chart question! So, I've been throwing myself a pity party (with wine) basically since AF showed up and last night was the first night I didn't have a full glass of wine, and my temp kind of looks like it's on the climb. I'm thinking that maybe the alcohol makes my BBT cooler than normal (I'm half asian and get the asian glow, and I don't think my body processes alcohol the same way most "normal" people process it.) Also, I started checking CP two days ago, and I had high and medium data in FF, and it was saying my FW was starting yesterday, so I changed it to medium/medium, and FF took away the solid teal fertile days. So weird. CD6/7 (out of 28 days) is way too early to O right? (also CM is sticky, so it can't be FW, right?) I feel super BSC this morning. At least we started to HIO yesterday?
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do with your SO? Pretty much everything. He's my most favorite.
CD: 28
WAYDTGKU: Still no O, so still doing everything!
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Same rave, CD 28 and no temp spike!! I don't know how much longer I can wait. Just hoping either a temp spike will happen or I will start af so I can begin again. This week has not been my friend, looking forward to wine and time with DH tonight! We are going to the pumpkin patch this weekend so that should be fun.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing to do with your SO? We both love to travel, fancy dinners out or just cuddling on the couch watching Netflix and drinking wine

WAYDTGKU: Sex ED or EOD starting tonight
