GTKY: What is your hidden talent?

oandmplus1 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 30

WAYDTGKU: all the things

R/R/CS: Well I didn't get the temp rise this morning I was expecting. DD is still keeping me up a lot, but I am fairly confident in today's temp as I did get 3 hours of sleep, but just had to take it an hour later than normal. My opks are finally negative, so hoping that today is the day, even though my CM is far less and kind of sticky. Either way, there won't be time to BD, so our timing is what it is I guess. Chart below if anyone wants to stalk.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I can play the guitar. Not well, so not sure if it is really a talent, but I seem to be know just a little about a whole lot of things without being really talented in any one particular thing (maybe I just don't stick with anything).

oandmplus1 · October 2015

I realized I didn't know how to attach a picture from my computer so here is my chart.

PrettyPalomino · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: Alllll

R/R/CS: I caved yesterday and bought a thermometer online AGAIN that will arrive tomorrow!! So now I will track half of my cycle with a real BBT. Probably too late as I feel like if I'm going to O it would be around today.... I have a feeling this is going to be anovulary though. Or I may have a longer cycle than I thought. BUT today had a drop in temp so that's promising.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I can touch my tongue to my nose!

ETA: words. too early.

ETA AGAIN to add I am SS for O. Feeling a gut-wrenching kind of cramp! Plus a second day of lower temp. Feeling hopeful!

pretzel2plus1 · October 2015

@oandmplus1 I agree with you that I would have expected another temp rise this morning, but it doesn't look like O yet based on your temps. However, all your other signs do look like O. I think you and I may be in a similar boat. FX for O for you soon!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 24

WAYDTGKU: all the things.

R/R/CS: still no O. Chart is attached if anyone is interested in taking a look.

I have an appointment with my OBGYN today for an ultrasound to check for cysts or any other issues. I'm kind of halfway looking forward to it because at least I'm getting closer to some answers.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I'm not sure if it's hidden, but I am extremely well-organized. Like I can pretty much take any mess and make some semblance of order out of it.

jmr1515 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: Everything

R/R/CS: Thought I would see a temp shift this morning but it was not above my highest temp. Had all the signs...cm, cp, +opk on Sunday then
-opk yesterday. Hopefully I'll see it go up tomorrow.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent?
It's no secret I have mad dance skills. It's the socially-awkward makes-you-a-little-uncomfortable kind of talent. Haha

marajay6 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 3

CD: 18

WAYDTGKU: cm, temping with a crappy-ass thermometer

Rant: I am TFAS and it has been a bit hindered due to the fact that my cycle still hasn't regulated since birth. It took 10 months postpartum for my first period and then I had a 6 week long cycle. Starting yesterday, I am having pain/cramps. They are pretty uncomfortable but not a level of pain that has me calling the doctor. I am hopeful that it is O and that my uterus and ovaries are just mad that they have to go back to work after an extended vacation.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I haven't played in a while, but I was pretty damn awesome at Wii boxing back in the day.

Megzb510 · October 2015

*chart stalk and question*
Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD: 38

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, preseed, OPKs

R/R/CS: So CD38 and no crosshairs for me. Can you guys look at my chart and see if you think I O'd? FF was giving dotted crosshairs on CD25 but took them away. If I did O then, it doesn't matter cuz no BD prior but I really want to know if I'm in a long annovulatory cycle or what. It was also going to give me dotted crosshairs on CD31 if I would have kept up my high temps but I haven't. Last month my cycle was 42 days. Honestly, I'm just hoping AF shows up on CD 42 and I can start over. Knowing I had terrible timing even I did somehow O is just even more frustrating. Next month I am going to vaginal temp and use digital OPKs. I kind of hate the Wondfos and really don't have the ability to test in the afternoon like is recommended.
Also as a side question, if you think you are out for the month (due to anovulation or bad timing), is the "benched" thread the right place to go? I don't want to be AW and make my own thread but I seriously love contributing to the daily thread.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I have a pretty amazing memory when it comes to my work. I remember stuff really well even if it's something I haven't seen in a couple years.

AL_TwinCities · October 2015

@Megzb510 so far your chart looks anovulatory to me

M/C: 17, but only 5/6 temping

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: temping, will start checking CM and CP and using OPKs around CD10, trying acupuncture this cycle on O day

R/R/CS: yay for morning sex, initiated by DH and not even me!

GTKY: I used to sing opera

patriciahomol · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: all the things, eod bd, cm, opk, temping. waiting to o.

R/R/CS: idk! getting some watery cm and ff is saying im fertile right now, my first month ttc so no patterns for me yet so its hard to tell. we shall see.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? Clarinet playing lol. I started playing in 3rd grade.

PeggyOlsonFTW · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: Starting tomorrow, all the things. Today is AF's "buffer day" as DH calls it. Resumed temping this morning, still taking PNV and starting all the sex again tomorrow. Even went out and bought better curtains for private sexy time in the new house!

R/R/CS: Even though I'm excited to get down to business, I'm terrified of seeing a BFN in a few weeks, or having another loss.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I have no idea. I'm really wracking my brain for this one....

Hummingbird125 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 18

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK's when I remember to, PNV's, was HIO EOD until I left on a business trip.

R/R/CS: Right now I'm just hoping to not O until Saturday. I return home Thursday evening, so that would give us enough time to feel good about our timing.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? Not really hidden, but I'm an amazing cook!

marajay6 · October 2015

@Megzb510 you aren't really benched when you have an annovulatory cycle, so it wouldn't be appropriate to go over there. I would think that as long as you have hope you may still O, you can stay here. If you have given up on O and are just waiting on AF, you can move to TWW. In either case, it would take a real twatwaffle to tell you "you don't belong here".

There used to be a weekly thread "waiting for something" for the women that had really long and/or annovulatory cycles. You can also resurrect that.

AndiPandi127 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: BD ED now that my OPK is +, temping, all the regular stuff

R/R/CS: My temperature dropped like whoa this morning. I need to figure out how to attach my chart for next month so I can shamelessly request stalking. Since this is my first month temping it doesn't seem like any of it can really be interpreted yet. I like temping because it feels proactive, but it's frustrating because although I 100% understand how to do it, things happen like the battery dying in the smoke alarm in the middle of the night so it does that beep every 30 seconds, so you wake up at 3 to fight with it and don't get the required amount of sleep. <rant over>

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I am freakishly good at Whack-A-Mole. I never lose. I don't know why - it's not like I practice at home. If you want the big stuffed animal, send me to play.

ETA: @KDHB13 - I love that you bought sex curtains. From now on when I tour people's new homes I'm going to comment on their bedroom curtains and see if they blush. Hee hee. GL this month.

sboston06 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: everything except OPKs. BD daily or EOD during FW.

R/R/CS: When I temp this morning I almost squealed with delight. Huge jump! If I enter in two more high temps, FF gives me CH for yesterday (CD12). I honestly think ovulation was CD11 (maybe late in the day) but my temp didn't rise above my coverline right away. Also, my CP and CM kind of point to CD11. I did have EWCM on CD12 but it wasn't much and it was somehow different than it was on previous days. Either way, our timing was good so I'm not too worried about it. Couldn't BD yesterday because I worked a 12hr shift and then went shopping for my birthday dinner!

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I wouldn't really call it a talent but I can touch my tongue to my nose and fit my whole fist in my mouth (not at the same time).

@oandmplus1 - I don't see O yet either. Hoping you get another temp rise tomorrow!

@pretzel2plus1 - I hope you get some answers today.

@jmr1515 - Looks like you and I have the same issues with our temp rising, but not enough. Hope you get a bigger rise in the morning!

@Megzb510 - I think it took away your CH because of the two other low temps on CD 30 and 35. I don't see a clear O. Personally, I think you should hang out in whatever thread you want. Technically you are still WTO. I don't think you should consider yourself benched because you are still trying but your body is not cooperating.

@KDHB13 - I have to laugh when I see you write "sexy time" because that's what DH and I call it.

anj27 · October 2015

***chart stalk please?***

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD: 32

WAYDTGKU: Temping and still having sex.

R/R/CS: I have been using and recording OPKs sporadically and I had what I'm pretty sure was a positive one on CD26 but I hadn't tested for a few days prior to it. I got curious this morning and deleted that bit of info from FF and it gives me a CH for CD25. The chart still does not look very pretty - what do you guys think? Is it possible to get a + OPK the day after ovulating? If I assume the OPK results are not reliable since I haven't been consistent with them, do the temps alone look good for CD25? If it's true, that puts me at DPO7, so I suppose we'll know better in a week's time if my period shows up (or not).

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5f7d57/

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? Hmm. I am pretty good at cutting delicate shapes out with an X-Acto knife. It's not a skill I find myself using very often.

I'm jealous of your hidden talent!

sboston06 · October 2015

@anj27 - looks like it could be CD25 or CD27 to me. I don't use OPKs but I thought they were only positive in the days leading up to O, but you're right that it's hard to say without seeing how they looked on the other days surrounding CD26. If you got a +OPK on CD26, it would make more sense that O was on CD27, and you also had a temp dip that day. Your temps are fluctuating within a very narrow range so I think your post-O temps look good either way. That high one on CD22 is kind of throwing your coverline artificially high, but sometimes our charts don't look "pretty" like in TCOYF!

furbabymom2007 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: BD when we can, PNV, cm, temping, starting opk's this cycle

R/R/CS:
Actually happy about AF today because it means things are normal-ish after quitting BC. Last cycle was 25 days with a 10 day luteal phase and I got solid cross hairs from FF (I was super excited about that even though timing sucked). I suppose I would have like a little bit of a longer LP but this way I am at least on to the next cycle sooner and there is a better chance of us being able to hit the FW. Right now we will have 1 evening where in the same place during FW (hopefully). I will likely be on a Red-eye heading home while DH is on a flight to Rome ( tough job eh?) when I am about to O. But we might have a night together when I get back from a weekend out of town before flying out Monday morning for work. Ugh

We will do what we can...

GTKY: What is your hidden talent?

Eh... I have a selectively good memory? I knit? I used to play flute and piccolo (totally went to band camp)

@AndiPandi127 ... Sex curtains... I giggled

Temping + CM

R/R/CS:
Temp rise this morning but I don't believe it. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling nauseous and didn't sleep well after. Feeling horrible this morning and think I'm getting sick which sucks because I'm right in the middle of my fertile week...
GTKY: What is your hidden talent?
Don't know what you mean by hidden.... Im a photographer so I'm pretty artsy but it's not hidden

PeggyOlsonFTW · October 2015

@AndiPandi127 They're actually in the living room $:\$ "> The upstairs floors are super creaky and I'm afraid of waking DS. DH is gonna be psyched to have some couch sex!

halesh5 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/5
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: everything
R/R/CS: Found out another good friend is pregnant yesterday. They JUST started trying. Seriously I know I'm hyper focused but everyone that is pregnant around me got it on the first or second month. Not exaggerating...they keep on coming. Broke down yesterday at work when my husband text me about our friend. I am surrounded by pregnant, super fertile people. To make matters worse...we went to dinner with my inlaws and they kept going on about all these pregnant people...hinting at us but not asking if we were trying. His mother said "I'm just so excited to get to hold all these babies." (Insert knife into heart). But my husband is on point. He knows I act strong but inside I'm very sensitive. He bought me "sorry you're bleeding" flowers last week and last night he filled up my truck with gas when I fell asleep. It's the small things. I really married an amazing man.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I feel like I'm good at reading people. I've been right about a lot of people like my friends potential suitors. I guess that's my hidden talent.

Edit: words

anj27 · October 2015

@sboston06 Thanks for taking a look at my chart. I was hopeful about CD27, especially combined with the +OPK but FF doesn't even give me dotted CH for that day when I put the +OPK back in. The temp shift is not obvious but they appear to be generally higher after CD22. I guess I just wait some more and see if anything happens.

@oandmplus1 If my chart can be trusted, I have a big dip similar to yours on CD27 and FF is giving me CH for CD25, so fingers crossed for you.

R/R/CS: First day temping this cycle and I slept through my alarm! Only 35 min so not a big deal, but higher then I would have thought!

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? No idea...lol sorry I am so boring!

kcolly32 · October 2015

Month/Cycle:11/8

CD: 21

WAYDTGKU: temping,OPKs, CM

R/R/CS: I thought I O'd a few days ago when my temp went the lowest it has been then raised the next day, but yesterday it went back down. I have long cycles but I've had some where I don't ovulate at all. This is the first month DH has really stepped up his game and we've DTD a lot more than previous cycles, so I'm hoping I do O at some point. My clear blue OPK has gave me a high reading for several days but I usually get more than one peak from my multiple surges. Hoping the next peak I actually O! Feel free to chart stalk!

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? Hmm, I'm pretty good at scrap booking and making shadow boxes for friends for their big events like weddings or having a baby. Not sure how much talent is needed but it's something I enjoy doing that ppl love.

Evil Maleficent · October 2015

Month/Cycle: Cycle 1 with clomid and ovidrel

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Clomid, Ovidrel, OPKs, monitoring, temping

R/R/CS: Last cycle ended up with a blazing false positive on the new style FRER. What a heartache. Now we're moving on to medicated and monitored cycles.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I can shape my tongue into a clover.

megstervt · October 2015

***TMI rant ahead***

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: temping, CM, trying CP, aiming for sex EOD from now until O

R/R/CS: CM is confusing. This is my first cycle really tracking it so I'm trying to be patient and learn my body, but it's confusing and adding DHs sperm into it just really throws me off. I was dry for sure, and then yesterday had some (I know it was CM since it was before sex)...it seems like EWCM, but maybe its actually sticky, no wait maybe creamy. I tried checking this morning, but I'm pretty sure there was some residue from last night sooo is that sperm, or EWCM or maybe it's still sticky? Whatever, this is totally gross and I'm sorry for sharing my CM rant with you all.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I have a small gap between my front top two teeth so I can whistle through it. I taught my dog a special whistle that way so he comes back when he's off leash at the dog park.

Mlight28 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 8

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: Waiting for AF to GTFO, PNV, going to start temping tomorrow probably.

R/R/CS: We discussed our game plan for this cycle. We have been BD EOD, but now going to try ED from CD 14 to confirmed O, and EOD before CD 14 just incase. O has been CD 18-19 every cycle. We are both likely to get tired of BD but we are determined to give this a try since EOD hasn't worked for us yet.
If my cycle stays pretty normal this time, Thanksgiving will be pretty close to our test date, or right after it. I already have anxiety about this. Ugh, we have to go see the one million babies in my family. Literally we have 7 new babies our families this year, might as well be a million.
But what a (private) celebration if it's a BFP.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? Man, this is a hard one! I can wiggle my ears, and I'm really great at dancing in the car. I enjoy embarrassing DH at stop lights if there is a great song on.

@KDHB13 Sex curtains are hilarious. I hope nobody comes up to our house at night. Their fault if they do! We don't have curtains at all in our living areas because we live way out in the country, and it doesn't stop us from sexy time. Haha.

lalalorelai · October 2015

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: temping, charting CM & CP, supplements

R/R/CS: Temp went up .2 degrees--not enough to indicate yesterday was O day but if I enter slightly higher temps for the next two days I get crosshairs for CD16. So FX.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I can rap a few select songs, including Ice Ice Baby and Forgot About Dre. There's a pretty epic video out there of me rapping Ice Ice Baby in my wedding dress on the party bus on the way to the reception.

R/R/CS:Not much going on today, just counting down to the weekend already. This is our first year in a house so I'm really excited to have trick or treaters! The neighbors have said it's kind of hit or miss in our neighborhood so I'm hoping we'll have a decent turnout, I want to see all of those cute costumes!

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I like to think that I'm a pretty good detective...it's probably just from watching too much Discovery ID but I daydream about starting my own company, lol.

chanfa · October 2015

*lurking from tww*

@megstervt you can check if its sperm or CM by dropping it into water. Sperm will dissolve and CM will lump up. I am not sure I would ever drink from that cup tho

WAYDTGKU: temping/charting, CM, CP, sex when husband is home!!

R/R/CS: still unsure if I ovulated : / and if I did I feel like husbands work schedule screwed up timing. And then the rise today idk if I can trust it as I woke up at 330 and 530 before temping at my normal 6:10-6:20...Just feeling down today

chart attached if anyone wants to peek. Husband will be home the next ten days so if there is still a chance I want to HIO.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent?

WAYDTGKU: We'll try everything once AF is over (which should be soon)

R/R/CS: Nothing really just had pretty low temp this morning (96.0) which is kind of weird but I'm just gonna go with it. Can't wait for this week to be over and for DH and I just to get things started again.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? Not too sure if this counts, but it's the only thing I can think of right now... I can cook and bake - still working on my grilling skills though.

DaAliDShow · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: I used to say everything, but recently learned about ferning... Not tracking that.

R/R/CS: Temp went up a bit today. Hoping that trend continues so I can get my CH's. I'm thinking CD 14 or 15 was the day, but we'll see what FF says... Although I need temps to confirm, all other signs lead me to believe I did in fact O!

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I have a ridiculous memory. It comes in handy because I am a singer and have to memorize lots of music all the time. Or maybe that's the reason why I have a good memory...

oandmplus1 · October 2015

@pretzel2plus21 Hopefully O is around the corner for you. I know how frustrating it is, trust me.

@Megzb510 I'm sorry, I just don't see O yet in there, but I hope it comes soon for you or AF arrives so you can start fresh. If it were me, I would keep posting in WTO, but I think you could do whatever works for you. Benched doesn't seem like the right fit

@sboston06 Yay for temp rise! I hope you get CH soon!

@anj27 I would almost guess CD 21 as O

@kcolly32 I don't see a temp shift yet, I don't think you have O'd quite yet

@megsterVT I have charted for quite a while now (started in 2010 and done it off and on), and still question things sometimes. This sounds gross, but I check sometimes right after sex so I can get an idea of what semen feels like vs what my CM feels like. Also, if it's stretchy, it's usually EWCM. If I am not 100% sure, I put it into a cup of water and if it balls up, it is CM. Watery is sometimes harder to tell, but usually it just feels slick and clear on my fingers. Creamy looks like my EWCM sometimes (cloudy or yellowish) but has no stretch at all.

@lalalorelai I hope we both get a temp rise and get to be cycle buddies for the TWW!

@MrsE2015 It looks like you may have yesterday, but HIO just in case

virginiaham · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD: 21

WAYDTGKU: all of it

R/R/CS: We had such a good date night last night that definitely involved us not acting our ages. As ok as I think I'm feeling with this sometimes, I was needing a night of not trying or worrying about trying. Bonus that it ended in sex.

GTKY: What is your hidden talent? I have amazing beginner's luck at arcades and mini golf. First round and I win tickets like crazy and look like a pro. It lasts 1, maybe 1.5 rounds.

@oandmplus1 I sure hope so! Thank you for checking it out!
