CD: 19
WAYDTGKFU: PNV, HIO
R/R/CS: I have all the watery CM on the planet, but no sign of O anywhere. Just look at this stupid chart:
And tonight I'm going to drink a lot and sleep on an air mattress because #adult so I'm probably going to have a totally screwed up chart tomorrow, too. December was just not our month, yall. Too many variables.
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?: I'm a 9th grade English teacher and I teach the same stories over and over again, so I like to mix it up in my free time.
Edited because the text editor was not cooperating with my photo.

BFP 6/10/2016 - EDD 2/22/2017
CD: 14
WAYDTGKFU: Definitely not BBT! *see below*
R/R/CS: Well after almost 9 straight days of drinking and/or sleeping in, I have ceased to enter my BBT. I have some open circles high up in the sky here and there but they are obviously complete write-offs. The OPK with my FMU today was strong and I think it might be positive or near positive this afternoon! I am 80% certain tomorrow will be O day as it was last cycle so I'm not too worried about the temps. DH and I are both off today and tomorrow so timing should be good!
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?: Memoirs of a Geisha (both the book and movie)

<b>WAYDTGKFU</b>: Ordered Preseed yesterday with one-day shipping! lol Going to try to keep up BD ED for the next few days until I'm pretty sure we are 2+DPO. PNVs, Temping, Charting on Paper
<b>R/R/CS</b>: This morning he's all over me (and not in a sexy way) b/c he wakes up in work mode and he's complaining about all the stuff he thinks I should be doing but I'm not doing. So I know there's definitely a tonne I need to do but it also just feels like a mountain. Chipping away. At a freaking. Mountain. But really since we're just getting started, it's a fresh slate, it's just tough starting from scratch too, and not knowing all the things you need to do in the beginning all the time, and having to figure out where to find the answers. It's just a lot. And yesterday my head was killing me so much, that after I did a couple things I literally was, "just resting for a minute," and I fell asleep in my chair. So NOT the most amourous wake-up, and yep! Headache's still there, but a little better. So on his way out I reminded him that it's hardly BD-fest 2015/2016 if we don't keep it up! And officially carry over into the New Year!!! <span>:)
I pulled all my other charts out of a file so I can make some more comparisons knowing what I know now, but I'm still not totally sure on certain things like my exact LP. It's some comfort knowing it looks like several months when we were NTNP our timing was off anyway, and there were really maybe only a couple months in there where it could have been pretty well-timed, but no babies. So hopefully we don't have to be officially TTC for too long, but time will tell. Temp dipped a little this morning, so I'm fairly satisfied that most of what we've been up to so far was probably just warm-up BDing!</span>
<b>GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?</b>: There are a few books I would love to just re-read: The Unbearable Lightness of Being, My Antonia, all the Vonnegut, Lives of Saints. We are actually taking the TV out of the bedroom (Thank God) and keep saying we want to try and wind down making time to read instead of TV, so hopefully that will happen early in the New Year as we clean up from the holidays and move things around. Movie: Hot Fuzz.

WAYDTGKFU: temping, OPKs, preseed
R/R/CS: No sign of O yet. Thank goodness, because visiting in-laws has meant no BD!
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?: Oh goodness, how do I decide? For books, probably Harry Potter has the honor. For movies, the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice is my go-to feel-better movie.
CD: 7
WAYDTGKFU: Monitoring CM, BD (about) EOD from this weekend through about CD 17/18
R/R/CS: Nothing TTC related... Going out with friends for dinner tonight, much more low key NYE than I'm used to but I'm actually really excited about it being low key! I guess late planning has it's perks
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?: Book: All The Light We Cannot See -- I know there are very mixed opinions with the ladies on here that are reading it for the "book club", but I absolutely loved it. I can't wait to read it again. Movie: Love Actually. The cue-card scene with Andrew Lincoln makes me cry every time... especially last week when I was PMSing right before AF.
Month/Cycle: 4/4 (1 NTNP, 2/2 TTCAL)
CD: 12
WAYDTGKFU: Pretty much everything. I'm thinking I might be starting to get the hang of this CP thing. I can't really feel whether it's open or not but I'm thinking it might be high because I'm getting into my FW. I will keep poking around and try to compare after I confirm O. PS... Anyone else feel like a complete psycho feeling around up there?
R/R/CS: Here's my question: I know it's said that when TTC, it's best to BD EOD or every 24 hours to give the little swimmers a chance to build back up. DH told me this morning that he's trying to get it in twice today (I'll believe it when I see it). I know doing it twice in one day isn't going to hurt our chances but I'm wondering how long we should wait to BD again after pulling a double. Do you still think 24 hours is long enough?
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?:
I don't even know how to answer my own question. I'm with @SpartyCat, I could re-read/re-watch HP over and over. I'm currently listening to Outlander on audible after reading it last year. I re-watch the shit out of the same Christmas movies every year too. They never get old!

WAYDTGKU: Looks like I'll have some spotting today, but period is pretty much done so we'll start BD
R/R/CS: My period length has been cut in half since I switched to re-usable menstrual products and it makes me very happy
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?
Book: My two go-to books are Ella Enchanted (it's nothing like the movie) and All-American Girl
Movie: I'm not a big movie person, but my two go-to movies are Baby Momma and What to Expect When You're Expecting, both of which make me a little sad right now since I'm not pregnant..
CD: 23
WAYDTGKFU: bbt, cm, cp, opk yesterday
**question about opk below**
R/R/CS: so my temp jumped this morning, which is great if I can keep a few more high ones, however our timing is not great because we've both been working late the past few days
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?:
LOTR.. Over and over!!!
CD: 3
WAYDTGKFU: Waiting for AF to leave the building. We are likely out this month bc of H's travel schedule.
R/R/CS: I have the craziest temps during AF but I think it might be because I freely drink all the wine I want.
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?: Book: A Wrinkle in Time. Movie: Ghostbusters and/or My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

WAYDTGKFU: charting, EPO, prenatal, monitoring CM / CP, all the sex everyday
R/R/CS: This will be the first time I've tried the EPO. I always have had issues with low CM production. FX it helps with getting KTFU!
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?
I have a photographic memory, so rereading / re-watching something is painfully tedious. I've always had to wait several months or years between trying to reread / re-watch.

CD: 10 woohoo double digits!
Waydtgku: everything
R/R/CS: happy New Year's Eve! Ready to get into what should be my fertile window based on previous cycles etc. But since it's my first temping cycle I'm just "certain" that my charts won't show a temp shift for ovulation for no other reason than I'm apparently negative nelly. My morning temperatures aren't super similar so it will be interesting to see how this pans out. Also I didn't have my thermometer so I didn't temp the first day AF was gone. Oops. Andplusalso I wake up early worrying about what my temp will be. I'm so cool
GTKY: I love reading but I rarely repeat something I've read with the exception of all the baby sitter club books when I was a pre-teen.
CD: -- (see below)
WAYDTGKFU: Temping, PNV
R/R/CS: **TW** So I'm temping after my MC on 12/20 so I can see what my cycle does. I marked the MC as a period in FF because I dist know how else to log it. With that information FF says I'm on CD12, but I don't really know how to chart this "cycle". Should I just wait until after I get my fist period post MC??
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?: @BusinessWife I forgot about My Antonia and may have to re-read it. So many can go I this list, but I will keep it short. Almost anything by Dan Brown and obviously HP is on this list
DS1 -- 9/30/2016
CD: 2
WAYDTGKFU: Preparing my body for the offering later in January.
R/R/CS: Why does AF make me feel so many feelings? FEEL ALL THE THINGS!
GTKY: I don't re-read books that often, but my favorite is Breakfast of Champions. Aaaand I will watch Harry Potter Marathon Weekend any time I realize it's on. Oh and Hocus Pocus. It was kind of magical that they were both on this past weekend. It was the best weekend.
Edited for wonky formatting.
CD: 11
WAYDTGKFU: sex when we feel like it, PNV, charting temp & CM
R/R/CS: I want to time BD better, DH doesn't because he feels like it'll be too much pressure. So we've been kinda sorta trying/not trying and it's making me anxious.
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?:
I have reread the first Outlander book and all the Harry Potter books multiple times! Love those. I reread books all the time - funny about the photographic memory discussion, I'm the opposite. I have ADD which I no longer take medication for (did in HS & college), so when I reread books I'm all like
ETA like 5 times to add my first gif evah
CD: 10
WAYDTGKFU:cm, pnv, temp, hio
R/R/CS: charts all wonky, I'm worried I won't get an ovulation shift with it being so crazy
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?:
@MRSCORKER I think you are my book and movie twin, I was definitely writing Harry for books and any Christmas movie. They are all good, all the time.
*******tw: loss********
@AmMcc12 I would chart just how you would any other cycle.
My experience has no bearing on yours but it was helpful to me. I charted after mine because we were told not to try, and found i was actually anovulatory that month so when I was late I didn't get my hopes up.
@AmMcc12 I charted after my loss as well. I'm not sure how far along you were but since mine was a CP, my NP told me to treat it like any other PD. Also, FF has an option in the "Specifics" for MC. I hated checking that box off

WAYDTGTFKU: AF is still in the building...
R/R/CS: I should start temping again tomorrow, but we're staying at a friend's house so it may not be in the cards. Planning on indulging a bit so probably a useless temp anyway.
GTKY: The book I have reread the most is probably Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I know it's kind of random, but I've also read Krakauer's "Into Thin Air" a bunch. It's just fascinating to me. My official favorite book is The Secret Lives of Lobsters, but I don't actually own it to reread. The movie I've rewatched the most is Office Space.
CD: 13
WAYDTGKFU: BD ED this week, preseed, OPKs
R/R/CS: Looking forward to meeting up with friends tonight- although I can't remember the last time I was up past midnight! I am not looking forward to heading back to work on Monday. Our fiscal ends at the end of January, so it makes January absolutely miserable.
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?: Much like @SLou24 I can rewatch Love Actually until the end of time. that card scene.... man. I'm also guilty of rewatching Gilmore Girls and SATC whenever i need a good background show

WAYDTGKFU: Waiting for AF to leave
R/R/CS: So I have the target BBT and I got the same number this morning as yesterday. However I think it is correct because with my regular thermometer my temp was the same too and when I took it a couple hours later it changed.
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over? Hmmm.... Probably Sweet Home Alabama.

Rave #2 I got a temp spike for my birthday! FX I get CHs soon! If so, I'll be right on schedule.
Rave #3 My niece is in town, and I'm so excited to see her this weekend!
GTKY: Harry Potter is probably the book(s) I could reread over and over, and for movies, I'm not sure. I'm not a big movie-watcher.

DS1 -- 9/30/2016
@AmMcc12 - I didn't temp the first month after my mc. I took the month "off" and just let my body do whatever it was going to do. I had a longer cycle than usual and can't even tell you if I ovulated at all. I just needed a break from everything. I was able to go into FF settings and discard that chart entirely. I was also able to mark it as a mc as opposed to a period. I don't have VIP access either FWIW. I know this is tough. ((hugs))
Month/Cycle: 4 (2 TTCAL)
CD: 11
WAYDTGKFU: checking cm/cp, OPKs, sex eod
R/R/CS: it's only cd 11 and I've already got some EWCM. Because I'm not temping this cycle I'm paying much closer attention to CP/CM and find myself digging around quite a bit. It's gross but really interesting at the same time. I didn't expect EWCM so soon, so I'll start busting out the OPK's again and see if I have any luck this time. We'll also be doing quite a bit of creative BDing since in-laws are in town until Tuesday - the entire length of what is "supposed" to be my FW. Whatever, this is happening.
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?: My favorite movie of all time is Wizard of Oz and I watch it every Thanksgiving.
I'm trying to figure out the CP thing and I think I've been doing a little too much digging around and have irritated my cervix. Has that ever happend to you?

WAYDTGKTFU: pnv, hio eod to Ed, temping, tracking cm and cp
R/R/CS: my chart is just fucked so far. Despite no fertile cm and inconsistent temps, if I put in another high temp for tomorrow it thinks I ovulated yesterday. Thanks FF. and thanks iPhone for autocorrecting FF to God. Seems appropriate.
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?: I regularly reread Time Traveler's Wife and cry every time. Movies just depend on what kind of mood I'm in, but right now I'm rewatching How I Met Your Mother.
CD: 1. Apparently my uterus wanted to celebrate New Years like this
WAYDTGKFU: Nothing right now, waiting on AF's departure. Luckily she doesn't have long stays.
R/R/CS: None, looking forward to crab legs and champagne tonight.
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over? I can always watch Mean Girls, and re-read and watch Harry Potter.
ETA: Oh, I think I've watched Law & Order: SVU, How I Met Your Mother, Family Guy (at least the older ones), Big Bang Theory, and Friends a million times over. Also a lot of the Criminal Minds-type shows.
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,
because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!

R/R/CS: I've had cookie dough DQ blizzards the last two nights and it is taking all of my willpower to talk myself out of going for a threepeat.
GTKY: What is one book/movie you could read/watch over and over?: Funny, last night I just watched my favorite movie for the billionth time - Pride & Prejudice (the one with Keira Knightley). At least once every year I read A Room with a View (Forster) and Siddhartha (Hesse).
