R/R/CS: OMG I GOT CROSSHAIRS TODAY!!! After basically deciding I wasn't going to ovulate, and then being very concerned that maybe I *never* ovulate (I've always had long/irregular cycles and this was my first cycle temping), I got a positive OPK on Friday afternoon, and then a small temp surge! I'm going to temp tomorrow and then stop. I'm just so freaking happy that it looks like I O'd - also, my past two cycles were 47 and 48 days, so if this one is too, maybe that IS my norm?
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: my faux black leather jacket is my favorite article of clothing, I wear it several days a week. My sneakers are my least favorite - I desperately need new ones!!
R/R/CS: got my crosshairs!!! Not super happy with the slow temp rise but it's consistent with last cycle so fx.
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: I love a nice colourful fall coat and scarf. Least favourite, maybe socks? Finding the right ones for the outfit that are actually clean??
ETA the two discarded temps weren't taken immediately after waking up. I still get the crosshairs if they're not discarded. I just like to make the chart look prettier as long as it doesn't affect interpretation.
Testing Plans: Not until the day before Thanksgiving.
R/R/CS: Big day for crosshairs! I got mine this morning too after a lot of uncertainty around whether or not I'd O this cycle
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: I live in workout gear most of the time, so that stuff is my favorite. Least favorite is tights. They're always falling down or tearing!
Testing Plans: trying to hold out as long as I can but I told myself if I can't wait I will Tuesday
R/R/CS: so I'm pretty confident that cd 13 was my O day. Usually my LP is short so if i missed my FW and its 12 DPO AF would've been here already. If I Od on cd 13 AF would be due tomorrow. Temps are still very high, chart is attached. I've been waking up with a headache every morning which is out of the ordinary so I guess we will see what the next few days bring!
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: long sweaters is my fav, they can be fancy and comfy, believe it or not jeans are my least favorite, never been a jeans person although I wear them a lot I'm glad that other pants are in style right now!!
Testing Plans: BFN today. If I get a BFN tomorrow too, I'm holding off until 15 DPO.
R/R/CS: My temps have stayed up this whole time which is great but it's created high hopes. I didn't expect anything today from POAS but tomorrow if I get a BFN I'll definitely feel like I'm out this month, since FF suggests 80 to 90% BFP's show up 11 DPO. At this very moment I am dealing with yucky cramps and I packed some tampons in my purse </3
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: Most favorite is a soft baggy sweater I got recently. I put it on immediately when I get home. LEAST favorite are black work pants. They come off as soon as I get home

Testing Plans: BFN this morning. Pretty sure I'm out.
R/R/CS: I know some people get positives later but I'm just not feeling it. Really just ready to move on to next month at this point. Stupid long luteal phase.
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: I love love love my boots and scarves. Socks can DIAF. How anyone wears socks with no shoes is beyond my comprehension.
R/R/CS: sore boobs started last night. I really want this to be our time. Temp is still up. I woke up an hour early and took my temp because I could not wait to pee. Took my temp at my usual time too just for funsies and got an elevated temp too, but I knew that would happen.
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: favorite is my yoga pants and least favorite is big sweaters I guess.
Testing Plans: I tested yesterday and today. BFP. My beta is on Wed. I am pregnant. OMG. Baby (there is only one, God promised me), is due 7/27/2016
R/R/CS: I dry heaved into my toilet today. I started M/S this early with my eldest, which lead to HG. I am praying that I do not have HG again.
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing I love sweaters/shirts the comes to mid-palm. They are so comfy. I have a love/hate realtionship with socks. They have to be on just so... or they annoy me all day.
Congrats @Pugs&Kisses - FX for a H&H 9 months!!!
@0seamonkey0 - I seriously cannot explain the relief I feel. My temp rise was very slight, but I guess that combined with the positive OPK's was enough! I know it seems silly, but even though our timing wasn't very good and our chances are slim this cycle, I'm happy to just get a couple of weeks to think "Maybe??!!" - AND a break from temping - wooo!
R/R/CS: First cycle that I ever had any follicle growth so this tww is going to be the worst. I tested on friday just to see if the trigger was out of my system that way I know for sure a bfp is real if I get it. I've been trying my best not to SS and just chalk everything up to something else that is going on, but it is so hard I really hope this is our cycle.
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: yoga pants are my favorite, so comfy. Least favorite, jeans. My butt is too small and my calves are too big so I have to get a size too big for my waist to accommodate my calves and they always end up falling down.

R/R/CS: Struggling with the fact if I am KTFU then I could test now and know.... but I am holding out till AF. H and and I agree that is the best way to do it. QUESTION: Temps are not rising and seem to be "favoring" certain temps, is that what you mean when a thermometer does does that? Do I need a new thermometer?
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: I love jeans and wear them often, trying to get into the leggings thing more but I think my legs are too skinny. Least favorite are strapless bras and tops that need them!
@Bubblegum5586 yes you need a new thermometer. 1. Because it's rare to get the same temp over and over and 2. Because your not using a bbt thermometer. The difference being that your thermometer reads to the tenth place like 98.5 and my bbt thermometer reads to the hundredth place meaning 98.56. Your going to miss subtle changes in your temps if you continue to use a regular fever thermometer.
@bubblegum5586 Yeah that looks a bit like your thermometer is getting tired. If I were you I'd buy a new one in time for your next cycle (but maybe hold off until after 15DPO!) FX'd for you, congrats on your incredible self-control, it's downright inspirational.

Testing Plans: AF is due Thanksgiving unfortunately, so it will either be the best day ever or kind of sad!!
R/R/CS:I have been gone from here for a while because we found out we are dealing with severe MFI and we met with an RE and him with a Urologist. We are waiting for the second SA to see if there is any change/ that we need either IUI or IVF. Things have checked out so far on my end thankfully.
Last month my O was extremely late- CD 33. Not sure why? So I am extremely happy that this month it was "back to normal."
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: I love wearing dresses with leggings, blazers. Least favorite is anything itchy, itchy sweaters especially.
**Side note: what happened to the smileys???

@Hummingbird125 exactly the same here, temps haven't "spiked" either time. More of a slow rise.
Does anyone know what this means? Is it ok as long as the rise is enough that FF can detect a difference based on the averages?
Chart attached for an example.
Mine crept up slowly too, no spike. I think a slow rise is normal
Testing Plans: tested yesterday morning and got the faintest line ever. Tested again this morning and it is definitely a line!
R/R/CS: I want people to look at my timing and not get discouraged if you only hit one or 2 days in your FW! I'll probably still lurk around here some.
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: Favorite is a big sweatshirt. So warm and soft. Least favorite is socks.

R/R/CS: I'm temping this week when I wake up, instead of setting an early alarm. a compromise btwn not wanting to temp and wanting a complete chart!
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: Favorite: ponchos (its like wearing a blanket to work!) Least favorite: anything that makes me feel self conscious.

CD/DPO: 17/2
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing Plans: The day AF is due which is day after Thanksgiving
R/R/CS: For mental reasons I stopped temping early this cycle but have done OPKs and CM still. OPKs and CM have been the same as all the other cycles so I'm only a little wondering what the temps would have said. I wish temping didn't mess with my head and sleep so bad, but they do and I need a break. I'm pretty impressed with DH and I for having sex three days in a row, its been a LOT of years since we have done that.
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: One of my sundresses, it is very comfy and can be dressed up and down. Least is this pair of heals I bought that look killer but instead just kill me. Once a year I think I can handle it and wear them again, dumb. In the type of clothing I hate wearing suits, so stiff and I just feel awkward.
Congrats @KyCat! And congrats @PugsandKisses! I'm so happy for you! How many follies did you have?

CD/DPO: 17/2

Testing Plans: I'll be testing out my trigger and then testing for real around 9dpo.
R/R/CS: Not much going on here. Hopefully this week goes by quickly. We've been remodeling our kitchen so that should keep me distracted! I'll be going in for progesterone b/w on Saturday and that usually helps to break up the TWW a little.
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: Favorite would be hoodies. Least favorite would be swim suits because I'm never comfortable in them.

@Bubblegum5586 I also remember reading in TCOYF that you can try leaving your thermometer in a bit longer, even after it's beeped. I have a standard 30 sec post-beep that I keep temping out of fear my BBT might be favoring and quitting too early

GTKY: Favorite, boots and an oversized cardigan that's really just a blanket that's socially acceptable to wear outside. Least favorite, hats - still can't find one that keeps me warm but doesn't ruin my hair for the rest of the day!

Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing Plans: Fri at 14 DPO if AF hasn't shown up yet. If I can wait that long!
R/R/CS: I'm temping this week when I wake up, instead of setting an early alarm. a compromise btwn not wanting to temp and wanting a complete chart!
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing:
Favorite: ponchos (its like wearing a blanket to work!)
Least favorite: anything that makes me feel self conscious.

Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 17/2
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing Plans: The day AF is due which is day after Thanksgiving
R/R/CS: For mental reasons I stopped temping early this cycle but have done OPKs and CM still. OPKs and CM have been the same as all the other cycles so I'm only a little wondering what the temps would have said. I wish temping didn't mess with my head and sleep so bad, but they do and I need a break. I'm pretty impressed with DH and I for having sex three days in a row, its been a LOT of years since we have done that.
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: One of my sundresses, it is very comfy and can be dressed up and down. Least is this pair of heals I bought that look killer but instead just kill me. Once a year I think I can handle it and wear them again, dumb. In the type of clothing I hate wearing suits, so stiff and I just feel awkward.
CD/DPO: 17/2
Timing: -3, -1, O
Testing Plans: I'll be testing out my trigger and then testing for real around 9dpo.
R/R/CS: Not much going on here. Hopefully this week goes by quickly. We've been remodeling our kitchen so that should keep me distracted! I'll be going in for progesterone b/w on Saturday and that usually helps to break up the TWW a little.
GTKY -- favorite and least favorite article of clothing: Favorite would be hoodies. Least favorite would be swim suits because I'm never comfortable in them.
Me (32) Dx PCOS, DH (32) SA = Normal/mild morph issues

Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD/DPO: 27/2
Timing: -3, -2, 0
Testing Plans: Thanksgiving!
R/R/CS: FF is being a goof. One more high temp and she'll see what I see and shift my crosshairs to solid on CD25. Either way I'm testing the morning of Thanksgiving and will either get to be thankful for an exciting new life event, or thankful that I get to eat and drink all the things!
GTKY: Favorite, boots and an oversized cardigan that's really just a blanket that's socially acceptable to wear outside. Least favorite, hats - still can't find one that keeps me warm but doesn't ruin my hair for the rest of the day!
