WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs
R/R/CS: My chart seems a little weird compared to last month. Maybe because I'm actually taking my temperatures at the same time every morning instead of all scatterbrained like last month. Just waiting on cross-hairs. My Advanced OPKs said High for today and High for yesterday but I haven't got a peak reading yet. I wonder for what day it'll give me crosshairs if I manipulate tomorrow as a Peak day.... just thinking out loud here sorry.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
Some kind of sea animal so I could swim in the ocean all day and see the beauty under the water.

WAYDTGKU: temping and pnvs. Likely out this cycle due to DH travel.
R/R/CS: ***Child mentioned*** Coming to terms with AF and trying not to get worked up about my 9 day LP. I'm sure it's fine. I'm weaning my DS and it's breaking my heart but hopefully will lengthen my LP so I can give him a sibling.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? A penguin because they seem social and like they have a lot of fun. Also b/c that's what some WWF quiz told me once so I'm going with it.
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: Benched this cycle, but temping, checking CP and CM, OPKs to confirm ovulation
R/R/CS: ***CS please/question*** I'm hereby acknowledging my annoyingness because I have a question like every day. I'm either the worst taker of oral temps in history or I didn't ovulate. I had a big drop today and I thought I ovulated Saturday night/Sunday morning. I'm certainly temping vaginally next month. I took it vaginally after orally this morning and there was a .66 degree difference. I know that vaginal temps are generally higher, but are they that much higher?
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? A dolphin. It seems like they have a lot of fun.

R/R/CS: wasted my FMU this morning! Usually test opk in am as I've had the best luck at that time of day detecting a positive.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? My dog... I can sleep eat and sh!t and that's all I have to worry about!!!
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, PNV, acupuncture, BD EOD
R/R/CS: I'm getting nervous that I won't ovulate until next week when I'm traveling for business. We've been great about BDing this month and I don't want this trip to mess everything up!
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? A bald eagle. I always got so excited to see them flying over the river as a little girl because it seemed like they were kings of the world. Spectacular views and a constant supply of fish!

WAYDTGKU: Everything
R/R/CS: Truly confused today...I actually switched over to TWW because I had gotten my crosshairs two days ago! FF took them away from me today >:P
Peak fertility days shown on CBA CD18+19...wasn't too convinced because I didn't have the cramps and internet cheapies still showing up negative. Cervix remained high...
Peak fertility days shown on CBA AND internet cheapies CD28+29. CD27 I had woken up with HORRIBLE cramps...it was difficult to get through a workout that day due to nausea...go figure OPK lines were pretty dark that night before a positive the next day...figured my body did its job! Predicted AF moved from October 19th to October 28th.
Crosshairs gave me an O day as CD29 and a cover line of 97.3. My temperatures have remained above this even though crosshairs were taken away. Checked my cervix this morning and it has indeed lowered. Took and OPK this morning for the heck of it and the test line was definitely darker than last times I tested CD30+CD31 but not positive.
Average cycle length is 33 days...today is 34...Predicted AF moved back to October 19th (today). No AF symptoms YET...what DA heck? There goes my brief excitement!
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? Maybe some type of tropical bird...like a Toucan...goes along with my wish to have the superpower of flying.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, sex EOD and hopefully ED toward the end of this week. *tmi* My mouth is still healing from oral surgery so I told H no kissing, haha, but we have to do what we have to do.
R/R/CS: Nothing really, this week is when my anxiety sets in because I know my FW is getting close. My son called me in the middle of the night saying he had a bad dream and I realized I was having one too, dreaming that I ovulated and we hadn't had sex, lol.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? I really would not want to be an animal. But if I had to choose, I guess I would choose our dog. He has a great life and gets to sleep all day while we work.

WAYDTGKU: opk, temping, pnvs, sex EOD/ED
R/R/CS: It's freezing this morning, WTH it's not supposed to feel like winter yet. I wasn't ready yet. I wish I could stay home and snuggle all day in the sheets instead of going to work. AF has completely left the building so I decided to start temping today. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS I slept through my alarm! I took my temp though anyway even though it wasn't the prescribed time I wanted to do so. Hopefully my new and improved attitude towards living in the moment doesn't leave me with a bunch of open circles in my FF
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? I would say tiger. I'm tenacious; I protect my territory and those around me.
Still hope your issue is a non-issue anyway!

WAYDTGKU: Still just enjoying all AF has to offer
R/R/CS: Never thought we'd get to cycle #6 of TTC. Feeling pretty defeated.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? Definitely a dog or cat. I'm loyal and would love to hang around the house all day and nap.
CD: 25
WAYDTGKU: Temping, checking CM and still trying to figure out CP.
R/R/CS: My BBT did not stay up. So now I'm back to digging for fertile CM. I'm trying to relax about the whole thing a bit.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? I envy the life of a cat. Their life revolves around sleeping and being adorable and they are very good at both. I am good at sleeping but my adorable game needs some work.
@misskay813 what happens if you put in a few higher temps for the next few days? You're right, your chart is confusing. Based on the whole picture, you may have O'd still but FF is thrown off by the temps just barely above coverline.

WAYDTGKU: All the things
R/R/CS: We had been getting in EOD sex, but DH came down with a nasty cold. Today is day 4 of stupid flashing smilies and my opks are very slowly getting darker. We haven't had sex since Satuday, and Sunday he just couldn't get it done with how awful he felt. My game plan is to let him rest and we are going to just give it one shot if I finally get a peak. Feeling bummed that we won't have a lot of chances, but it only takes one time, right?
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? I think I would be a bird, so I can fly around every where and look into people's windows ha
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: HIO and CM
R/R/CS: Rant - We found out yesterday that one of DH's cousins is KU. Obviously I'm happy for them but it hurts a little bit watching others get KU.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? Hmm at first I thought a dolphin since they are so intelligent but then I realized I'd like to be a spoiled dog so I could lounge around all day and sleep.

WAYDTGKU: Everything with OPK
R/R/CS: My poor H was sick but we still BDed EOD, I was impressed with him. I didn't force it, for us it works best to have our sex timing plan made well before FW happens so we will make it happen. On the rant (no question really) I think the changing outside temps have messed up my temping. I should have Oed yesterday and did not have a dip or rise. Yesterday was the third positive OPK just like the two months before it. In the last three days the first two I woke up very hot and had similar temps and then today I woke up freezing and my temp was less than a tenth of a degree higher. I think the first two days should have been lower and today should have been higher. I do not set an alarm because my pulse races when an alarm goes off when I'm in deep sleep and 90% of nights I wake up to use the restroom in the same hour window. I am going to give it a few more days of temping and if I don't get my cross hairs I'm still moving over to TWW.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? Probably a dog, they seem more happy than other animals.
CD:18
WAYDTGKU: most of the things
R/R/CS:I have no idea what is going on. Going by a normal cycle, O should be in a couple days, but FF already gave me dashed cross-hairs for last week. I had an OPK that was borderline--I couldn't tell if it was positive or not; the lines were close in darkness, but I didn't think they quite matched. If I put that in as positive, CH goes away. I didn't get all the symptoms of O, but my temps do seem to keep going up. So confused. Sticking here til I get solid CH. Hoping they shift a bit, since our timing was not great if it's when FF thinks it was!

WAYDTGKU: charting BBT, CM, CP, BD EOD
R/R/CS: I don't know what my body is doing this month and I'm frustrated. I had some beers right around typical O time which always messes with my temps so that's adding to the confusion. Also I normally never have a problem sleeping through the night but I've been waking up so many times the last couple of nights anxious about what my temp is going to be so then I'm wondering if that's also throwing it off. I would just continue BD EOD until I get crosshairs but I'm having significant breakthrough bleeding (is there an acronym for this?) which, one, takes BD off the table, and two, makes me think if I did O that it's probably just making it impossible for any sperms to win the great race
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? A dolphin. I love the water.

WAYDTGKU: all the things... currently waiting for AF to exit stage left.
R/R/CS: I think AF will be gone after today so we can get down to business. I know it's too early to be my fertile week, but at least I'll feel like I'm doing something. I'm a bit nervous because DH will be out of town Mon-Wed next week which will be CD 12-14 so I'm hoping I don't O til after that. Can't be helped I guess.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? Definitely some kind of bird so I could fly!

GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? I always say a dog because they seem to always be happy

WAYDTGKU: only temping this month. I want to stay as calm and sane as possible
R/R/CS: Ultrasound confirmed that I had a ruptured cyst (lots of free fluid in the abdomen) Doctor thinks it explains the weird period very watery bleeding. She said all the rest looks fine so i'm an happy camper
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? A dog. You got to do the cool stuff with your humans, but can snooze on the couch when everyone go to work!
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: Learning to temp, CM, waiting on OPKs in the mail! And a better thermometer is in the mail too.
R/R/CS: Bought a crappy thermometer at drug store, I can test 6/7 times in a row and the temp slowly increases by .1 degree each time. So freaking annoying. I'm logging the temp I get after 3 or 4 of the same number. Got a thermometer online that is accurate to the 100ths. Hopefully this will end. Pretty sure this month's logging is going to be fairly useless.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? A bird so I can zoom around more efficiently. Traffic? Ain't nobody got time for that.

WAYDTGKU: all the stuff plus just ordered opk's for next cycle because I am curious.
R/R/CS: I think I may have O'd on Friday (cd15). If I add a similarly high temp in for tomorrow's temp then Ff gives me crosshairs. I guess we will see tomorrow. I am a little torn about how I feel about that though. Yay because I O'd and this is hopefully a pretty normal cycle for only being the second cycle after BCP. But a little bummed because the timing didn't work out... We were either on a plane, DH was sick, or DH was out of town. Unless he's got mega swimmers... Our timing of -5 isn't awesome. Oh well. We are not hard core trying yet, as we expected it to take time to come down off the pill. Chart is attached for fun.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
Probably one of my dogs. They live the pampered life
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: HIO just in case
R/R/CS: I thought that yesterday would have been my O, but it wasn't. So we will HIO just in case. I'm over sex. I need a "close for holiday" sign.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? I would love to be a house cat. I get feed, someone cleans up after my shit, I could potentially get rubbed everyday and if I was my cats, I could go outside and get some fresh air every now and then. And you cannot forget about the napping whenever I want.
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: HIO a lot, charting the temps, will probably start OPKs today or tomorrow... Who am I kidding, it will be today. Gotta POAS!!!
R/R/CS: Pissed cause I over-slept this morning by an hour. Got a much higher temp and an open circle. Grrrrr!!!!! Must. Acheive. Chart. Perfection.
GTKY: Someone said wild horses already, and I agree completely! Free to run, roam around, live in the beauty of nature. Sigh.

WAYDTGKU: charting, BBT (shooting for all closed circles this month), CM, CP, PNV, limiting caffeine & alcohol, increasing exercise
R/R/CS: I stayed up so late (for me) last night to watch the Pats/Colts game. Great game but could've used a few more hours of sleep this morning! Also, I'm amazed at how consistently low my temps are pre-O. I am expecting O between Saturday and Monday and am excited to try again!
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? I like being a human! I get to be lazy like my cat, run around like a dog or do many other awesome things animals can't. I like the variety of life
Month/cycle: 2/2

WAYDTGKU: all the things. Wondfo OPKs + HPTs should be arriving from Amazon today!
R/R/CS: Still have watery CM... still no O... *Question:* if you have a short LP (less than 10 days), how long did you wait before seeing an RE? Is this something your regular ob/gyn can help with, or should I go straight to an RE? This is my fifth month being off hormonal BC, and I feel like my LP should've gotten longer by now if it was ever going to... Maybe I'm too impatient? But I know LP of 9 days or less is something to be concerned about. If I were to O today, LP would be 10 days, but since I know I'm not going to, I'm looking at 7-9 day LP...
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? A dog at my parents' house. Spoiled spoiled spoiled!

WAYDTGKU: Just realized that DH and I will be in NYC for the tail end of my fertile window. Praying for a vacation baby!

CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: Waiting for crosshairs at this point
R/R/CS: I learned something about breastfeeding today from y'all's argument. I thought I'd look it up and found "The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that breastfeeding continue for at least 12 months, and thereafter for as long as mother and baby desire. The World Health Organization recommends continued breastfeeding up to 2 years of age or beyond." I always thought it was weird when people breastfeed past a year, but I guess it's recommended. You learn something new every day.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
@ashbear720 I spoke with my regular OB. I am only on cycle 4, but have a history of short LPs. He didn't really do a whole lot, he just said there wasn't enough research to show testing my progesterone levels would make a difference, but that progesterone supplements during the LP wouldn't hurt anything and then he prescribed me progesterone. I asked him about it during a f/u visit from my early loss last cycle. I had a 7 day LP my 2nd cycle TTC, the cycle following that I O'd early and then got a BFP, but then had an early loss. I have no idea if the short LP and loss are in any way related as I have had two babies prior to this loss. Sorry - I'm not sure my rambling was any help.
ETA: I re-read your question. Your LP doesn't change based on when you O, so if you O late, it doesn't necessarily mean you have a shorter LP. Your LP typically remains constant (give or take a day or two in some cases).
CD: 21
WAYDTGKU: temping, checking CM, HIO just in case
R/R/CS: Really hoping that I O'd yesterday or Saturday even. We would have had pretty good timing then. We'll probably have to HIO tonight just in case, but at the same time, I'm not sure it would even matter because if I O'd this morning or something then who knows. So many variables on how long the egg lasts before its fertilized and all that business. And DH is getting a massage tonight after work, so he may not be up for performing tonight anyways.....We shall see. The temps outside are most definitely having an affect on my temps I believe. They've been all over the place even with temping vaginally.
GTKY: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? I'm not an overly huge cat fan, but they do have quite the life. Dogs too. People are always feeding you, loving on you and cleaning up after you.
Eta: so does everyone else that takes the time to help myself and others out!!!
