@pretzel2plus1 That sounds like a dream-date to me! lol We still have to swap around the futon we've been sleeping on with the bed in the guest/playroom... move the tv into there and make it an official TV/Play room and move the little dresser I got for diapers up where the tv is now.

<b>Month/Cycle</b>: 17th temping / 2 ttc
<b>CD/DPO</b>: 23/7
<b>Timing</b>: -5, -4, -3, -2, +1, +2
<b>Testing Plans</b>: Saturday, Jan 16th. I have had a cycle or two that went longer than 29 days like, 30, but most are 27, 28, and that's what day the ticker gave me... Plus it's a Saturday, so it's a good morning to wake up to, (hopefully), happy news! The books for DH came in, and so did the mugs! But I totally wasn't expecting them so soon! So there was almost a serious mishap. They came in just as he was about to head out the door, so he's like, ugh, what are you ordering, what is this, and I'm all I dunnnooooo, but when he said it said "Sniffens Lane" and, "Mellow Monkey," I thought it must be the wetbags, (which are <i>monkeyfoot</i>). But of course I was confused because I didn't think she had shipped them yet, and the box didn't look like how I expected, so we are both opening them together, and they're these two little square boxes wrapped in bubble wrap, and he starts getting his bubble wrap off, and I'm like, "NO! Stop! I know what this is! You can't open this!" lol So I took them upstairs, and luckily he swears he really didn't see what it was, so it's extra-lucky they were wrapped up so crazy! So I told him it was a little surprise and whatever, we were allowed to have little surprises. Then he said, well he's not getting any little surprises for me, and asked me if there was a REASON he should be getting me any little surprises.... with his eyebrows all raised and silly. He is so cute. But of course I said I didn't know and it's too soon to say but we shall see.... That was a close call!
<b>R/R/CS</b>: I went back and tallied it up and it looks like of the 9ish cycles we've been married, really only one did we have good and PLENTY of timing, (this will be the second), four were like MAYBE one or two in but pretty much longshot timing-wise, and three were just no way the timing was going to work, because of travel and things. So Hopefully that is encouraging that when they refer to six months of well-timed intercourse, that would sort of be a stretch. The only way you COULD count up to six is if you included the longshots, but definitely not what I would call well-timed. We'll have to wait and see how this cycle pans out...
<b>GTKY</b>: I love what PP have mentioned! I watched a lot of the old Looney Tunes, Duck Tales was great - and Rescue Rangers - I forgot about that one! I loved if I could get up early enough for Care Bears cos it was on at 6AM, and The Smurfs. I watched a lot of PBS tho, like 321 Contact, Reading Rainbow, Sesame Street, Bill Nye <img src="https://global.thebump.com/ticker?TT=ttc&TT1=ttc&CL=29&CT=D&CG=T&O=m_bird2&T=t_ttc12&D=2015-12-19&M1=13&D1=&T2=&T1=&T3=&CC=4&CO=FFFFFF&CO2=&W=C&TS=&R=&SC=green" alt="">
R/R/CS: I am heartbroken. DH and I HIO every day during my FW based on CM until I got a temp rise, and then FF gave me solid CHs. Well, that really screwed us up because it looks like I O'd three days later than I thought and we pretty much missed our opportunity this cycle. I am so angry and upset. I guess, for me, CM has nothing to do with when I'm ovulating at all.
GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? Gummy Bears, or Fraggle Rock...maybe Care Bears. Or My Little Pony (the original), Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake...yep. Typical early 90's child.
@LizaKate1213 I'm sorry about your timing being not what you expected. As far as CM, it may be for you that you get your most fertile CM a few days before O so next cycle (which FX you won't need) maybe keep HIO a few days after your fertile CM. -3 and O are still legit opportunities though so I'm keeping my FX for you!
R/R/CS: CSing myself: I'm nervous today because my temp took a nosedive this morning. If I see AF today, it'll be the second month that FF has identified a 6-day LP. I don't put 100% stock in it as I don't agree with last month's CH by several days and/or I believe I was annovulatory, but I will definitely be more concerned if it's two months in a row with a perceived 6-day LP. Anyway, all I can do is keep an eye on things and see what happens. OR MAYBE IT'S AN IMPLANTATION DIP. Let the SS begin!
Just kidding. I still firmly believe that my H didn't K me U this month.
Also, a quick rant: yesterday my mom told me I'd get KU "in God's timing." As if I'm the f'ing virgin Mary.
GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? Yall, this is an UO everywhere, but I am just not a cartoon person. I grew up watching a lot of 50s musicals on VHS, which is pretty much all you need to know about me as an adult. I make at least one musical theater reference a day.
Thanks @Paturkey. The worst part is (and I didn't mention it here yesterday because I knew it was a false), I got one of the classic "FRER curved handle false positives" yesterday. I didn't see the line until a couple of hours after the time frame but it was definitely there. Clear blue was definitely negative with FMU this morning though, as was an equate brand.
Testing Plans: Totally caved and tested on a cheapie, BFN. Going to wait until Tuesday or Thursday to test again.
R/R/CS: Definitely getting a new thermometer and returning the one I have. I've gotten the exact same temp for the last three mornings. I was worried this would happen based on the things I've read here, but I didn't think it would start crapping out 3 days in.
GTKY: I used to watch Garfield and Friends every morning before school! But The Simpsons are still my fave cartoon from childhood, and I still set my DVR for it every Sunday.
R/R/CS: Feeling pretty down and out at the moment to be truthful. My temp dropped significantly this morning, and I pretty much am expecting AF to arrive any time. Even though my other apps said that ovulation could be on CD 17, I was starting to get a bit hopeful since per FF I'd passed by my longest LP/projected start date. If you gals wouldn't mind taking a look at my chart, I'd appreciate your thoughts on whether I O'd on CD 15 or 17?
@H4aPartyof5 I'm sorry you're feeling down. I'd think CD15 was correct due to Cm and OPK, but CD17 is definitely possible too, particularly just looking at temps. If you take out CM and OPK does FF move your CH?
The reason that I'm mainly concerned about it is because I want to be a bit more certain of my LP length. This is only my 4th month charting. Of the past three cycles, 2 have been 13 day LPs and one was a fluke (FF has an 8 day LP, other apps have longer at 10 or 11). So right now, I'm thinking that I have a 13 day LP, which would add a bit more weight to an argument for CD17 as the O date, but since there isn't that much data maybe not. My average cycle length is 27-28 days.
I took out all the CM data, and it didn't change anything, but when I added a positive on CD 16, it will change the O date to CD 17. The OPK on CD15 was the darkest positive I have gotten to date using the dollar store OPKs (the test line was actually darker than the control for once), but maybe if I had kept testing, I would have still gotten a positive on CD16 too...I wish I had gone to go get more OPKs at this point.
R/R/CS: My work schedule is not lining up very well for what will probably be CD3 blood testing for me, if not KU this cycle. Ughhhh. DHs SA is Tuesday... Praying that everything looks good for him. He is super nervous to get those results. He's very thankful though, that the lab lets him collect the sample at home, and bring it in within an hour.
GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? Rugrats, Catdog. I have a younger sister, so I was probably stuck watching cartoons longer than I should have.

R/R/CS: I got for realsies cross hairs today! Woohoo! This is kinda fun. Of course it will be lame when I still end up with my BFN. @Mlight28 my gyn provider has suggested a SA and my husband is feeling very apprehensive about it too! Glad your place will allow the home sample. That's so much better than the alternative.
R/R/CS: I was talking with DH last
night about not temping in the TWW. He looked at me and told me that he doesn't want to deal with a crazy person. That man knows me too well. I would absolutely go crazy wondering about my temps if I stopped temping in TWW...
GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What
was your favorite childhood cartoon? All the Loony Toons, Rugrats, Magic
School Bus, and Doug to name a few.
Testing Plans: Goal is 1/16, but 1/15 is starting to sound better.
R/R/CS: I've decided to stop looking for symptoms at this point. I feel (physically) really good so far this morning which isn't the same as the last couple of days. Wish I had a chart to stalk though lol. If I get a BFN this cycle, I'm going all out with digital OPKs and temping. I hope DH won't think I'm crazy, but to be fair he went from thinking any sex = BFP and in the past 2-3 cycles he's realized it's not that simple. This 4th one was our real first attempt at timing everything, and I still think there is room for improvement.
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? 3-way tie: Garfield and Friends, Muppet Babies and DuckTales!
@Mlight28 GL to your H on Tuesday. That sounds like a wonderful little euphemism, "collecting a sample," lol and FX you don't need to worry about CD3 testing after all... ;) <<hugs>> *ETA Below

Also I forgot about Daria and CLONE HIGH!!!!!! But I didn't watch those till much later...
@superscarf I haven't tried OPK's yet, so I might try that too this cycle if need be... anything to take a little more of the guesswork out. ;)
@BerkeBaby Yess! I loved Bobby's World! lol That's one I almost forgot about, actually. GL with your weightloss goals. I feel the same way, I have been losing and gaining back the same almost 10 lbs since the wedding, and I had been down another 5-10 actually, too, so that is a healthy thing to focus on I think if/when AF arrives. My fertile window closes and then I basically start to eat all the things because I, "might be pregnant." Riiiiiiight. <img title="Image: https://global.thebump.com/ticker?TT=ttc&TT1=ttc&CL=29&CT=D&CG=T&O=m_bird2&T=t_ttc12&D=2015-12-19&M1=13&D1=&T2=&T1=&T3=&CC=4&CO=FFFFFF&CO2=&W=C&TS=&R=&SC=green" src="https://global.thebump.com/ticker?TT=ttc&TT1=ttc&CL=29&CT=D&CG=T&O=m_bird2&T=t_ttc12&D=2015-12-19&M1=13&D1=&T2=&T1=&T3=&CC=4&CO=FFFFFF&CO2=&W=C&TS=&R=&SC=green" alt="">
Testing Plans: Already tested today. FF says AF is due tomorrow. BFN. I'm just ready for AF to show her face so I can move on. Ugh...Where's the limbo board when you need it?
R/R/CS: I had a great day yesterday. I went to weigh in, certain that I had gained a few pounds. Down 3! Woohoo! I'm ready for AF to show up so that I can focus on my weight loss goal. I'm hoping that losing 10-15 pounds will help regulate my cycles. I thought I had been set at 36 days, but this cycle has proven to me that maybe my weight is keeping me from getting KTFU. Oh well...hopefully AF is on time tomorrow...
GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? Duck Tales, Animaniacs, Rescue Rangers, Rugrats, and Bobby's World. Did anybody watch Bobby's World? I used to get ready for school and watch it right before I would walk to school in the morning, and then there was always an episode after school. LOVED IT!

CD/DPO: 20/8

Testing Plans: not till the 21st
R/R/CS: I had a pretty big temp drop today, still above the cover line, but a big drop. I usually have a 16 day lp so maybe the house was cold, I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings. On a Rave, the Steelers won last night. I turned off the game with 1:30 left because I was getting super stressed, only to wake up and found out they won. Kind of bummed I turned it off.
GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? @BerkeBaby I was going to write Bobby's World! I watched that and Garfield and Friends every morning before school started. I loved it!
R/R/CS: I... have a confession. I totally sat and stared at a definitely negative test this morning squinting trying to see if maybe there was some shadow of a line or something. I'm appropriately ashamed of myself.
GTKY: Ducktales, Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Scooby Doo, old Looney Toons with Bugs Bunny, Tweety and Slvester, Roadrunner and Coyote (you get the idea).

Testing Plans: Friday if af still isn't here. But let's be honest if people start posting bfps I might be tempted. I mean I almost bought a Powerball ticket last night because of the hype and now I really want to for Wednesday!
R/R/CS: Woke up in a really bad mood about life. Trying to remind myself it's just hormones and to get on with my day.
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? The first cartoon I can remember running to the tv to watch whenever it was on is Inspector Gadget. But basically I watched any and everything growing up. My mom was really, uh, hands-off as a parent.
Re: DuckTales - I loved that one too and remember renting the movie where they look for a magic lamp over and over and over from the video store! There's a youtube channel that has today's kids react to stuff; they did a video on DuckTales (Whoo-oo!). Other ones I found fun were: 80s music, 90s cartoons, 90s music, 90s sitcoms

Timing:-5,-3,-1 realistically it could have been different because I used OPKs and didn't temp. So could have been a totally different picture.
Testing Plans: AF due tomorrow and BFN today on FRER as well as Wondfos. I am assuming I am out....
R/R/CS: literally felt nauseous the last two mornings, but at this point I think I am giving myself symptoms. Nothing else feels different. I am forcing myself to get things done today instead of laying around hoping. Going to get a bbt so I can start temping! Time to find out what my body is really doing! I hope we get some BFPs this week while I am sure I will be transferring over to WTO.

@BusinessWife What are the mugs like?? I ordered mugs during an ovulation hormonal emotional day and they can't arrive fast enough for me to love them.
Month/Cycle: 2/2 temping
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: good
Testing Plans: I want to wait for AF (~12 DPO), but if those mugs come like 10-11 DPO, I'll probably get emotional and POAS, let's just be honest.
R/R/CS: can't symptom spot cause I didn't do temping the last several days, awesome.
GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? I pretty much watched wild discovery and then animal planet when it came out. Nerd status.
<span class="vanilla-mention-@">@khbear117 </span>They are just simple - I think you said you got the Mama-Bear/Papa-Bear ones??? So cute!!! Ours are just black with white text and they say, "Behind Every Good Kid is a Great Dad/Mom." Okay now I am getting all the feels. But anyway, I'm glad they came because I was a little nervous they would be too small, since we usually like nice, big mugs around here, but they are a great size, too, so I'm pleased!
@mkc3888 It might be a little too early to say, although what I would say is that your last temps since projected O - although they arent vastly higher than your pre O temps, the pattern of your temps does seem to have changed so it could be right. Your projected post O temp are a little less rocky.
Since you are stil geting fertile CM I would keep HIO just to be sure and then if your cross hairs moved you have covered all bases.
@BusinessWife Yeeees I got the bear once. Ah I can't handle the mugs. I didn't even know this was a thing until I found the ones I bought, I think it is like the best thing ever to give a hubs, because they use it every day. I am etsy stalking for grandparent mugs to purchase after a BFP now.... I'm glad yours are perfect!!!
@Paturkey, FX that AF stays away and temps remain high! @BerkeBaby, Sorry your cycle doesn't want to end! Also, Bobby's World was awesome!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 27/11

R/R/CS: My bestfriend had her second son this morning, so I went to see them, and then realized one of my other friend's, his wife, and two day old son were three rooms down from them. So I spent a solid two hours today cuddling the tiniest infants, and I think it made my uterus ache.
GTKY:Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, Power Puff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, Pokemon.. But the sad thing is I still watch more cartoons than anything, I type as I'm watching Archer. I'll never grow up.

GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? Yall, this is an UO everywhere, but I am just not a cartoon person. I grew up watching a lot of 50s musicals on VHS, which is pretty much all you need to know about me as an adult. I make at least one musical theater reference a day.

BFP 6/10/2016 - EDD 2/22/2017
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 23/10
Timing: -2, 1
Testing Plans: tested yesterday with wondfo and BFN. Will test with SMU today with FRER
R/R/CS: attempting to add chart. First month temping -
GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What was your favorite childhood cartoon?
Ducktales! Now I have the theme song in my head haha
DX Diminished Ovarian Reserve, Factor V Leiden Mutation, Secondary Infertility
MFI (SA #1Count 11mill, Motility: 18%, Morphology: 1%)
AMH .328 | FSH 13.2
CD/DPO: 31/10? Used OPKs but not temping
Timing: -2, -1, O , +1
Testing Plans: Totally caved and tested on a cheapie, BFN. Going to wait until Tuesday or Thursday to test again.
R/R/CS: Definitely getting a new thermometer and returning the one I have. I've gotten the exact same temp for the last three mornings. I was worried this would happen based on the things I've read here, but I didn't think it would start crapping out 3 days in.
GTKY: I used to watch Garfield and Friends every morning before school! But The Simpsons are still my fave cartoon from childhood, and I still set my DVR for it every Sunday.
CD/DPO: 32/13
Timing: 0, +1
Testing: Jan 14
R/R/CS: Had my first BFP dream last night. It was so realistic. Then I woke up to a temp drop
GTKY: Gummy Bears!
ETA: FX for you @Paturkey !
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1, O
Testing Plans: Originally I said Friday 1/15 but I was at wal-mart last night and stocked up on 88c jammers so....
R/R/CS: I'm doing a baking class with my mom today. We're learning to make croissants and Danishes. Yum!
GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What was your favorite childhood cartoon?
Bernstein Bears and David and the Gnome were my jam.
Me: 32 & DH: 37
BFP #2: 2/8/16 - EDD 10/20/16
IT'S A BOY!!!!
DS Born 10/16/16
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 30/15
Timing: -5, -3, O
Testing Plans: None
R/R/CS: Feeling pretty down and out at the moment to be truthful. My temp dropped significantly this morning, and I pretty much am expecting AF to arrive any time. Even though my other apps said that ovulation could be on CD 17, I was starting to get a bit hopeful since per FF I'd passed by my longest LP/projected start date. If you gals wouldn't mind taking a look at my chart, I'd appreciate your thoughts on whether I O'd on CD 15 or 17?
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5bfde8
GTKY: My Little Pony, Care Bears, and Fraggle Rock were definitely my favorites.
ETA: GTKY and chart link
DH: 36⎹ Me: 36
The reason that I'm mainly concerned about it is because I want to be a bit more certain of my LP length. This is only my 4th month charting. Of the past three cycles, 2 have been 13 day LPs and one was a fluke (FF has an 8 day LP, other apps have longer at 10 or 11). So right now, I'm thinking that I have a 13 day LP, which would add a bit more weight to an argument for CD17 as the O date, but since there isn't that much data maybe not. My average cycle length is 27-28 days.
I took out all the CM data, and it didn't change anything, but when I added a positive on CD 16, it will change the O date to CD 17. The OPK on CD15 was the darkest positive I have gotten to date using the dollar store OPKs (the test line was actually darker than the control for once), but maybe if I had kept testing, I would have still gotten a positive on CD16 too...I wish I had gone to go get more OPKs at this point.
DH: 36⎹ Me: 36
CD/DPO: 21/4
Timing: EOD
Testing Plans: 10 dpo
R/R/CS: My work schedule is not lining up very well for what will probably be CD3 blood testing for me, if not KU this cycle. Ughhhh.
DHs SA is Tuesday... Praying that everything looks good for him. He is super nervous to get those results. He's very thankful though, that the lab lets him collect the sample at home, and bring it in within an hour.
GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? Rugrats, Catdog.
I have a younger sister, so I was probably stuck watching cartoons longer than I should have.
IUI August 2016 : Cancelled due to polyp
September 2016: Polyp removal/hysteroscopy

November 2016: IUI #2- BFN
December 2016: IUI #3 - BFN
January/February 2017 - IVF + ICSI + PGD
March 2017 - FET
CD: 20/3
Timing: -5/4/3/2 and O
Testing plans: none
R/R/CS: I got for realsies cross hairs today! Woohoo! This is kinda fun. Of course it will be lame when I still end up with my BFN. @Mlight28 my gyn provider has suggested a SA and my husband is feeling very apprehensive about it too! Glad your place will allow the home sample. That's so much better than the alternative.
GTKY: maybe TMNT or my little pony? I don't
Month/Cycle: 4/4 (1 NTNP)
CD/DPO: 22/4
Timing: -5, -2, 0
Testing Plans: January 18th
R/R/CS: I was talking with DH last night about not temping in the TWW. He looked at me and told me that he doesn't want to deal with a crazy person. That man knows me too well. I would absolutely go crazy wondering about my temps if I stopped temping in TWW...
GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? All the Loony Toons, Rugrats, Magic School Bus, and Doug to name a few.
DS1 -- 9/30/2016
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: -4, -1
Testing Plans: Goal is 1/16, but 1/15 is starting to sound better.
R/R/CS: I've decided to stop looking for symptoms at this point. I feel (physically) really good so far this morning which isn't the same as the last couple of days. Wish I had a chart to stalk though lol. If I get a BFN this cycle, I'm going all out with digital OPKs and temping. I hope DH won't think I'm crazy, but to be fair he went from thinking any sex = BFP and in the past 2-3 cycles he's realized it's not that simple. This 4th one was our real first attempt at timing everything, and I still think there is room for improvement.
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? 3-way tie: Garfield and Friends, Muppet Babies and DuckTales!

Also I forgot about Daria and CLONE HIGH!!!!!! But I didn't watch those till much later...
@superscarf I haven't tried OPK's yet, so I might try that too this cycle if need be... anything to take a little more of the guesswork out. ;)
@BerkeBaby Yess! I loved Bobby's World! lol That's one I almost forgot about, actually. GL with your weightloss goals. I feel the same way, I have been losing and gaining back the same almost 10 lbs since the wedding, and I had been down another 5-10 actually, too, so that is a healthy thing to focus on I think if/when AF arrives. My fertile window closes and then I basically start to eat all the things because I, "might be pregnant." Riiiiiiight.

CD/DPO: 41/15 (This is the never-ending cycle.
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1
Testing Plans: Already tested today. FF says AF is due tomorrow. BFN. I'm just ready for AF to show her face so I can move on. Ugh...Where's the limbo board when you need it?
R/R/CS: I had a great day yesterday. I went to weigh in, certain that I had gained a few pounds. Down 3! Woohoo! I'm ready for AF to show up so that I can focus on my weight loss goal. I'm hoping that losing 10-15 pounds will help regulate my cycles. I thought I had been set at 36 days, but this cycle has proven to me that maybe my weight is keeping me from getting KTFU. Oh well...hopefully AF is on time tomorrow...
GTKY: stolen from yesterday's WTO: What was your favorite childhood cartoon? Duck Tales, Animaniacs, Rescue Rangers, Rugrats, and Bobby's World. Did anybody watch Bobby's World? I used to get ready for school and watch it right before I would walk to school in the morning, and then there was always an episode after school. LOVED IT!
CD/DPO: 20/8
Timing: -1, 0, +1
Testing Plans: not till the 21st
R/R/CS: I had a pretty big temp drop today, still above the cover line, but a big drop. I usually have a 16 day lp so maybe the house was cold, I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.
On a Rave, the Steelers won last night. I turned off the game with 1:30 left because I was getting super stressed, only to wake up and found out they won. Kind of bummed I turned it off.

@BerkeBaby I was going to write Bobby's World! I watched that and Garfield and Friends every morning before school started. I loved it!

R/R/CS: I... have a confession.
GTKY: Ducktales, Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Scooby Doo, old Looney Toons with Bugs Bunny, Tweety and Slvester, Roadrunner and Coyote (you get the idea).

Testing Plans: Friday if af still isn't here. But let's be honest if people start posting bfps I might be tempted. I mean I almost bought a Powerball ticket last night because of the hype and now I really want to for Wednesday!
R/R/CS: Woke up in a really bad mood about life. Trying to remind myself it's just hormones and to get on with my day.
GTKY: What was your favorite childhood cartoon?
The first cartoon I can remember running to the tv to watch whenever it was on is Inspector Gadget. But basically I watched any and everything growing up. My mom was really, uh, hands-off as a parent.
Re: DuckTales - I loved that one too and remember renting the movie where they look for a magic lamp over and over and over from the video store! There's a youtube channel that has today's kids react to stuff; they did a video on DuckTales (Whoo-oo!). Other ones I found fun were: 80s music, 90s cartoons, 90s music, 90s sitcoms

CD/DPO:30/13
Timing:-5,-3,-1 realistically it could have been different because I used OPKs and didn't temp. So could have been a totally different picture.
Testing Plans: AF due tomorrow and BFN today on FRER as well as Wondfos. I am assuming I am out....
R/R/CS: literally felt nauseous the last two mornings, but at this point I think I am giving myself symptoms. Nothing else feels different. I am forcing myself to get things done today instead of laying around hoping. Going to get a bbt so I can start temping! Time to find out what my body is really doing!

R/R/CS: The PMS is hitting hard. I unloaded on DH last night and had to backtrack and apologize today. Not fun. It's 1:30pm and I'm still in my PJs and haven't moved from the couch except to make lunch, I even napped after getting 8 hours of sleep. We were watching HIMYM and everything was making me tear up. DH folded my laundry and I cried. I am a total wreck today. Not even going to try to adult.

EDD May 23, 2021
@mkc3888 It might be a little too early to say, although what I would say is that your last temps since projected O - although they arent vastly higher than your pre O temps, the pattern of your temps does seem to have changed so it could be right. Your projected post O temp are a little less rocky.
Since you are stil geting fertile CM I would keep HIO just to be sure and then if your cross hairs moved you have covered all bases.
Edited as my words made no sense.
TEAM: PINK!!
@BerkeBaby, Sorry your cycle doesn't want to end! Also, Bobby's World was awesome!

R/R/CS: My bestfriend had her second son this morning, so I went to see them, and then realized one of my other friend's, his wife, and two day old son were three rooms down from them. So I spent a solid two hours today cuddling the tiniest infants, and I think it made my uterus ache.
GTKY: Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, Power Puff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, Pokemon.. But the sad thing is I still watch more cartoons than anything, I type as I'm watching Archer. I'll never grow up.
