R/R/CS: My chart is aggravating me. Did I ovulate yet? Pretty sure I have. But when? WHEN? Did I ovulate on day 18 in the evening with a fallback rise? Day 19 with a random weird temp? Did I ovulate on day 20 36 hours after my last positive opk? Grumble Grumble. Even when I get crosshairs I'm not sure I will trust them. Ok, rant over. Sorry the pic is so big, I'm mobile.

Rave ************tw ds
On a positive note my husband is downstairs playing with Mr. 14 Months so I can get nite sleep. But instead I am using this time to bump, lol.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory? I totally remember getting my 12 month shots. This is one of my favorite memories, bizarrely, because I don't remember the pain...only terror, followed by my mom holding me down firmly and reassuring me. It seems like this would be a bad memory, but it really stands in my mind d an example of how strong and kind my mom can be--her fitness and empathy are kind of epitomized in this memory for me. The expression I remember in her young face is just surreal to me now. (She was only 20.)

WAYDTGKU: AF has officially left the building! 5ish days until the beginning of my potential FW. Currently Temping and charting (CM, CP), getting back on track with healthy eating and exercising, taking PNVs, etc. will start OPKs in a week or so.

R/R/CS: Baby shower today that I have been looking forward to for months! My two other friends and I kind of went BSC and bought WAY too much stuff. It was really easy to do because we did it little purchases at a time over the last two months. We put everything together yesterday and it looks so good!

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory?
Oh, I love this! I have a bad memory in general, but I have a couple that stand out. 1 would be taking a walk around the block with one of my great grandmothers (I was really lucky and had 3 of my great grandmothers in my life for many years! The first passed away when I was 17, and this one in particular didn't pass away until 2 years ago when I was 24) when I was 4 or so and she came to visit. We were talking about my imaginary friend whose name was "Roberick" (because that's a thing). My other one would also be from when I was 4 and a half and I got to hold my baby brother for the first time in the hospital. I was competitive and liked that they let me hold him before the other family members who were there!

WAYDTGKU: All the things & acupuncture

R/R/CS: It's SO's birthday next week and I decided to buy him an xbox one as he has wanted it for so long. I get so excited buying gifts and I know how happy he would be about this that I could keep it a secret and told him this morning. So now we are on our way out so I can buy him it a week early! He's so happy right now.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory?

I have 3 very early memories but my favourite is from aged 6 when I was picked to play the part of sleeping beauty by all my class mates. I was very shy as a child and being picked made me so happy and I loved the dress I got to wear.

babymish · April 2016

@longliveregina all of those O days are a possibility it's just a little too early to tell. Try adding some high temps on for the next few days now and see what ff says.

AliciaGoose · April 2016

@longliveregina Sorry your chart is being difficult to interpret!! I wish I could help but I'm too new at charting to really have much of an idea. Shout out to your DH though for letting you "sleep"!

@babymish Aw, that will be a fun day for you and DH. I got my DH an Xbox one in November because he's more of a PlayStation person so he had a PS4, but his favorite game series is an Xbox exclusive and they were coming out with a new one. I actually also really enjoy watching him play games (within a reasonable time frame) so I never mind getting him new ones!

Edit: Words are not my friend

BigBadWolf12 · April 2016

@longliveregina the first time I read that I read it as 12 month pictures, not 12 month immunizations haha...and I was like what kind of pictures are PAINFUL!? I think they're doing it wrong! But then I clued in and felt super stupid haha.

Month/cycle: 6/6

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: sex. should start PNV again...got off that habit on a week off and when I had strep throat so I was hardly able to swallow yogurt let alone a pill....

R/R/CS: someone at a volunteer organization was putting in some paperwork to apply to a government program that would possibly be able to help some friends of mine who are disadvantaged and in a VERY unsafe environment...our government changed recently and apparently all the old applications were shelved, so I was asking the volunteer who was heading it up before to keep asking about the status and maybe even start the paper work again (she seemed to think the first paperwork is gone forever) and she said she realized my friends are in a very dangerous situation and need our help, but she didn't feel like doing anything under the new government.....it totally irked me. It's volunteer, so I get that I have absolutely no right to expect anything from her, so I told her thanks for her honesty and that I'd try to find someone else who would help me, but it's super hard from overseas to find someone willing to take on a bunch of paperwork....and my friends need to get out of their bad situation ASAP....

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory? I'm not sure this is the earliest, but maybe my brother coming home from the NICU (he was a preemie and had to be in an incubator for 10 days until his lungs could work on their own). I was 4.

WAYDTGKU: Temping & Syncronized hip thrusting

R/R/CS: I was hoping I O'd yesterday but my temps are way down this morning (see link in sig). The bedroom was cold last night but I don't think enough to warrant a temp drop that much. In other news -- I got a new battery for my BBT and it is working now, so apparently it arrived new with a dead battery. So good news there but.. i took my temperature three times yesterday within a 5 minute period and got three results -- 97.33, 97.58 and 97.45. I took the middle one 97.45. That seems like a big range of temps. My CH had a baseline of 97.55 last cycle. This morning I temped at 96.89, 97.12 and 97.16 so again I took the middle 97.12. There is not much I can do but keep HIO. Let's hope for O Today I'm getting tired.. and want to relax (#imeangobsc) in the tww.

The hubz is being very involved this cycle which is really cute. Typically he is more of an EOD kind of guy, but recently he looks over to me in bed and says "Well! Should we make a baby!!?" almost every night. before he would just let me guide the times and the doing its. It just makes my heart melt that he is taking the initiative and showing that he is excited. He has talked about wanting to have kids for a long time, but this means something different to me and I don't feel like I can explain it very well.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory? Good Question!
Bed time stories.. my dad used to read to me to go to bed. He would read The Hobbit. So I grew up knowing all about Bilbo Baggins. I remember loving it. I'm not a huge fan of these books/movies now, but I have absolutely loved taking my dad to see the movies because it just is such a warm memory. *wishful thinking* I think I will continue the same thing with my child, pick one of my absolutely favorite books (or maybe even The Hobbit) and read it to my child at bed time (if they want). I also remember he would read me the kids book about a circus monkey that he had from when he was a kid, so I'll have to dig that up too.

WAYDTGKU: H is still gone so just PNVs, CM, BBT and OPK.

R/R/CS: Ok, now my OPK and I are in a huge fight. I could just cry. I got the solid smiley this morning. So I went from 3 days of low to peak with no high. That hasn't happened to me since my third cycle TTC. I wasn't temping back then so I don't know what truly happened that time, but it was also my shortest cycle. I am so frustrated right now. I haven't really had any fertile CM yet so I was fully expecting another low or maybe a flashing today, but not peak. Ugh it is going to be a long day. H gets home tomorrow afternoon, so if it truly is peak time, I really hope O holds off until at least tomorrow night. Oh and also, my parents are coming to stay with us tomorrow as a pit stop as they move to Virginia on Monday. Just perfect.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory?
My earliest random memory is sitting on our front step when I was like 3 and getting mad about something and throwing my sippy cup at the screen door, lol.

aammyy33 · April 2016

@longliveregina Sorry your chart is so aggravating.

@aliciabhen Enjoy the baby shower!

@Babymish I am so bad about giving gift early lol. Sounds like he is going to enjoy it!

@Butthayna Sorry about your friends situation. I sincerely hope it all works out.

Month/cycle: 5/1

CD: 97

WAYDTGKU: PNV, waiting.

R/R/CS: Changed months again. Technically it hasn't been 5 complete months at this point but the cycle I am currently in started in DECEMBER!!! Holy shit.

GTKY: One of the first memories I have, that I still stands out is getting a Teddy bear from some obscure long distance relative. I don't know the names of the relatives even, but they came to visit and brought me a Teddy Bear that still has a place in my room to this day. I'm not sure what made the gift so special, but it was the best gift ever and I remember the pure joy of getting it.

*I'm going to apologize in advance for these long drawn out answers but it felt good to get this off my chest and sorry for the delay in answering! I will take no offense if you scroll right past :P

@Aphillips95 said:

@aammyy33 it may not help, but I've seen a lot about taking another month - 2 of BCP to kick start your cycle, it worked for me, but then I have no other underlying issues.

I thought about going back on BCP when we were trying to decide whether or not to start abstaining. (No AF for weeks on end, with no AF in sight and not knowing my body enough to have determined O was extremely stressful and after many weeks of BFN's I needed to change something). I guess my biggest hesitation with that is the HBC I was on previously was extended cycle (meaning you take 3 months of pills at a time and only have your "period" 4 times a year.) I'm worried that it is part of the reason I'm having trouble getting back on track. So if I did go back on the pill, I would be waiting another 3 months to try to come off of it again or would need to contact my Dr to prescribe a new form of birth control which I have never been on before.

@mrsdaddario said:

@aammyy33 Yeah I'm really just waiting to hear what my OB has to say about the blood work because I interpreted the results myself. I truly do believe I have it, but to what degree I'm not sure. At the end of the day I just want to get everything regulated so I can start ovulating. As I'm sure you feel the same! As far as the PCOS thing for you, did your doctor hint around to it at all? Or did he/she just say if you make it until 6 months with no period, then we'll look more into it? I'm really keeping my fx you get AF soon and on your own. Did you have a withdrawal bleed after stopping BCP? Have you bled at all since stopping? You don't have to answer if that's TMI!

The only reason I know PCOS or some kind of hormone imbalance was even in the back of his mind was because he asked me if I had any abnormal/new facial or body hair (which I don't). I only knew this question was even related to that was in hind sight when I started googling symptoms. Other than that there was no discussion of any "reason" why I was having a long cycle other than recently discontinuing HBC and/or "stress" (which I mentioned before was a streeeeeetch). I did have a withdrawal bleed coming off the pill and have always had "regular" cycles with clockwork "periods" on every HBC I've ever been on (3 types in 10 years) with no breakthrough bleeding or severe side affects. Since coming off in December I had 4 days of withdrawal bleeding followed by months of what I would consider watery CM/discharge (but obviously not fertile?) and NO AF's symptoms and NO spotting, coloured discharge or bleeding. To change gears a little bit: I have been off HBC at least two times within the last two years. The first time I missed filling a prescription by the time AF was done so simply waited a month and restarted it after a regular period. Didn't even give it a second thought and was no where near TTC. Last year I went off HBC when my DH moved away for work and I didn't have any benefits to pay for them. We still weren't TTC but I was thinking of it more as an "experiment" as I had started doing a bit of research on HBC, cycles and fertility and was dealing with bad acne, depression, weight gain and a really low sex drive. I was off the pill 3 months that time and had three beautiful cycles. Normal lengths, obvious EWCM (the only thing I really noticed ovulation-wise), a CRAZY high sex drive (higher than it's even been after 8 years on the pill), I felt great and lost weight. THIS TIME, since coming off the most noticeable differences are that a) I have been gaining weight (all around my middle) b) I have zero sex drive, c) something is effing with my emotions because I am finding my self crying A LOT and I a NOT a crier. Something just feels WRONG and like my reproductive system is frozen in time. OK seriously, If you've made it through this whole post you are a Saint!!!!

*CS please*

Month/cycle: 6/5

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: the usual.

R/R/CS: ok I'm freaking out now. I thought we were doing so well. We started BD around cd 9 EOD but DH had some issues in cd11 so we skipped it and did ED since cd12. I didn't get a high opk flashing smile until cd 13. And no peak yet. But FF wanted to give me CH and say I ovulated on cd 11! Which would mean our timing sucked and this cycle is basically out. And now i am ready to cry. How could I ovulate before getting high or peak results?

If if I change from advanced to fam it gets rid of the CH and is back to this being my FW. But is that accurate?

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory?

watching my dad play the legends of Zelda on Nintendo. It was like a family event. My sister and I would watch as my mom was writing down clues and stuff to help. It's what really got me interested in games and eventually I played on my own too. But I think I was only like 4 or 5 at the time. It was such a nice family moment though. Especially looking back now since my parents are now divorced.

beff12 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: all of the things

R/R/CS: I think I ovulated Thursday (based on OPKs) but my chart is so messed up because of inconsistent sleep/temping times. So I'm not sure if it's going to tell me anything or not. The good news is that today and yesterday were consistent with my usual waking up time, so I think I'm getting used to it now.

GTKY: I remember lots of jumping in leaves and swimming in the poo at our old house. My most specific memory is standing with my face smashed against the door saying "I want to ride in the cow, I want to ride in the cow!" because I had issues saying "r" haha.

ETA: a million hours later I realized that I said "swimming in the poo" hahaha. You guys can probably figure out what I meant. I'm totally leaving it.

Sparty18 · April 2016

@JediAlly85 I don't think you have O'd yet, there is no clear thermal shift. It could have just put the CH because of all the fertile CM you have had and the random temp rise on CD 12. Looks like your temps are on a downward trend right now, so that could be a good sign O is coming. Keep HIO and FX you see a true temp rise soon!

pretzel2plus1 · April 2016

@longliveregina CD 18 looks like a good possibility. What's the reason for the open circle on CD 20? Is it possible that it's artificially low?

@buthanaya I hope your friends get the assistance they need soon!

Sorry about your OPK issues, @sparty18! I haven't used that kind, so I'm really no help, but I hope you get some clarity in it soon.

@jedially85 I'm not sure about your O date, but I just wanted to say that FAM gave me different CHs than advanced last cycle, but it turned out that the FAM ones were correct based on my normal LP length. I had never had that happen before, but I'm much more inclined to trust FAM now. I think the advanced setting says something about picking up on more subtle ovulation patterns, but I wonder if maybe it's looking for the first available place to put CHs so it's not really accurate...if that makes any sense at all.

WAYDTGKU: I've got a while before I really do anything.

R/R/CS: My best friend will be here in two hours!! I can't wait!

GTKY: Reading a Mickey Mouse book with my grandpa. He read it to me so many times that I had it memorized, but I would always "read" it back to him.

hanshotfirst77 · April 2016

@Sparty18 thank you! It really helped to hear someone else thinking that. DH was no help. Ugh men. Would you keep FF at Fam mode too?

Sparty18 · April 2016

@JediAlly85 I would keep playing with the method you use over the next few days. Once you get a true temp shift, Advanced should move your CH. Hopefully Advanced and FAM will end up agreeing!

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, EPO, and naked time

R/R/CS: So I switched to vaginal temping this month but, not knowing how it’ll go, decided to continue oral temping as well and just log those numbers in my FF notes should I need to switch it back to oral for some reason… when I first started temping, OH was super unhappy about it because the thermometer beeping woke him up.

I noticed in the past couple of days he’s not seemed to really care. I just assumed he’d gotten used to it but when I asked he was like, “No, it’s because I wake up and see you with 2 separate thermometers in 2 separate holes at the same time and it’s really hard to not laugh.” Because since I bought a Mabis at everyone here’s recommendation, I now have 2 thermometers, that and the old one. He also thinks it’s funny that we have a thermometer labeled “VAG” because he’s terrified that he’s going to somehow stick the “VAG” thermometer in his mouth if he gets sick… which is silly because it stays on my nightstand.

Anyway, I don’t really know if this constitutes as a “rant,” “rave,” “concern,” or some weird combination of the three but after he said all of this, I realized how far off the deep end I’ve gone with TTC in just 3 months and felt kind of embarrassed.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory? My mom thinks I'm really weird because I have memories that go back as far as 6 months old of the first place we ever lived--first favorite memory, my mom used to work evenings so my dad and I would go swimming at the beach and then go to Dairy Queen afterwards. Still makes me partial to ordering hot fudge sundaes when I get the chance

WAYDTGKU: sex. Temping. Cm tracking

R/R/CS: got a pretty solid temp spike today. But was also a very restless night. Still having ewcm today (in abundance) so will still be making sure I cover my bases by hio tonight. Hoping for a second day of high temps tomorrow. Super sore breasts and irritability that usually accompany O are in full force today.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory?
Hmmm. I don't remember anything particularly young and what I do recall is mostly odd snippets.
I would say my first full memory was my moms blue car breaking down on an off ramp on our way home from day care. I still remember the exact exit. My dad (my parents were divorced) came to help her and brought us to my aunts where we were living temporarily. (So the divorce was very recent so I was an old 3/young 4) no idea why that memory stands out particularly so.

@longliveregina I'd go with cd 20-21. The temp on 19 to me isn't quite high enough since you had temps around that temp earlier in your cycle.
@sparty18 sorry opks are frustrating and hope o holds off.

@buthayna sorry about the frustration. Being overseas is frustrating some days. I hope your friends are alright
@jedially85 I definitely don't see an o pattern. You do have a wide range of temps though and that may throw it off. I personally hate advanced mode. I never agree with it (for my temps. Not always everyone else's) I prefer FAM

BigBadWolf12 · April 2016

@sarah0985 thanks! I'm overseas from the paperwork in Canada AND overseas from my friends who are having a rough go (who are not in Canada....yet!) so I feel utterly useless

WAYDTGKU: BBT, checking CM, HIO EOD

R/R/CS: We were going to start HIO EOD on CD10, but I got EWCM today, so nevermind! It started on CD8 for me last cycle, too. That just seems so early! I literally stopped spotting yesterday.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory?
I have early memories of visiting my grandparents in Florida. They lived on a bay, and the view from their house was incredible. We would take their pontoon boat out to a little uninhabited island and go shell hunting. We'd come back later in the day, and after dinner I would sit out on their screened porch and wash and dry all the shells and then my grandmother would sit and tell me what kind they all were. Such good memories.

mrsdaddario · April 2016

@longliveregina I think CD 18 is a possibility but yesterday is too. I agree it's too early to tell. Have you been checking CM? Any clues there's?

@aliciabhen Have fun at the baby shower!!

@babymish That's an adorable memory!

@Buthayna I hope your friends get the help they need. You seem like a really great friend, doing what you can to help them.

@LoulieFace My dad read me The Hobbit too! My parent's were divorced so I looked forward to going to his house EO weekend to read more of the book with him!

@Sparty18 FX so hard that O holds out until tomorrow night. Any chance you can beg DH to come home early? lol

@aammyy33 Yes, something does sound wrong. Not "oh my god something is horribly wrong!" But something is off. I really think, and I've said this before, that it is strange your dr didn't prescribe you anything to kickstart AF. 96 days is a really long time to not get AF! That's three months worth! (Not that I have to tell you lol). I also had clockwork periods on HBC. I could predict to the day (Thursday's), around the time (always between 11am-2pm) that I would get it. So I don't think that's any indication that it can't be PCOS. But I'm not saying I think it is one way or another. If I were you I would be getting a second opinion on waiting to start AF. For your emotional sanity lol. Because I know I'd be BSC by now!

@JediAlly85 I agree with PO, I don't think you've O'd yet. FX it comes soon!

@canavara Welcome to the deep end. Sit, hopefully DON'T stay a while LOL. I hear you. If I had been more informed the first month off BC I too probably would have ended up in the deep end a lot sooner. But I was blissfully ignorant! But now I've been here too for a while. #noshame

@sarah0985 Sounds like O is imminent any time! Yay!

WAYDTGKU: PNV, RRL, CM, BBT, OPK, HIO

R/R/CS: Still bleeding. Day 4, if you don't count the day the hsg was done. I'm going BSC. I laid in bed last night and wondered if I should go to an urgent care just so they could try to figure out why I'm still bleeding. I'm starting to wonder if the dr hit a blood vessel. I feel like I'm loosing valuable BD time. Meanwhile I can tell DH is getting aggravated that we haven't had sex in almost a month. He hasn't come out and said it, but I just get that feeling. I'll have to give in today and surprise him with a BJ LOL. I hate giving them, but I know he loves them. Sigh.

GTKY: I feel like I have a lot of snippets of early memories, but no full ones. I do remember my mom picked me up from nursery school one day (so maybe 3?) and when we got home there was a tiny little fluffy white fur ball in our living room. Our first "family dog". We named him Gus after the fat mouse in Cinderella. Best dog ever.

WAYDTGKU: eating a lot of chocolate?

R/R/CS: I may or may not be benched this cycle. My dr said 2 weeks protected sex from the time when DH leaves the caribbean so if we're doing strictly 14 days, that brings us to the 15 and I shouldn't O until around the 19th. I know I shouldn't be messing with Zika but he doesn't have any mosquito bites and mostly I'm desperate to not pause TTC. I'm going to call my dr and ask her what she thinks. And if I was thinking objectively or one of you was asking for advice in the same situation I would probably recommend benching to myself. BLEH.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory?
Finding out I was going to be a big sister! I was 3. All I wanted in life was a little sister and I got one. She annoyed the crap out of me for fourteen years but now we're best friends.

edited to add: @sparty18 I'm sorry about your opk issues! I've been using wondfos and cbd ones with just the solid smiley and am investing in the flashing smiley ones this month so I'd be SO pissed if that happened because they're pricey. Maybe it's just a fluke. FX that O holds off a little!

wintersong · April 2016

Thanks for the commiseration, ladies. (Sorry, my computer is being weird and I am having trouble tagging everyone. The tags below took FOREVER.) The open circle is because I accidentally temped at, like, 2:30 am and when I woke in the morning I had to do something immediately so I knew I wouldn't get an accurate temp then, either. I always have a slow rise that takes two days to clear my cover line. <y CM is pretty useless since it has been some variety of "Watery" all month-either watery with a little bit of creaminess or just watery. Ugh. So it could be artificially low when compared to my normal 5:30am. Honestly, though, upon further reflection I feel better; I mean, I know within a 48 hour window when I ovulated and that timing was pretty good, so I guess I am complaining about nothing.

@JediAlly85 Nothing in your temps makes me think you Oed on CD 11!

QueenSunscreen · April 2016

WAYDTGKU: vitamins, healthy eating, preseed, pounding water in hopes of seeing ANY sort of fertile cm.

R/R/CS: at my parents' house this weekend so we're not HIO. And hubster is leaving next weekend for three days, so I sincerely hope O comes on CD 15 like last month instead of my more usual 17-19.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory?

I have two early memories - one good, one bad. I have a distinct memory of holding a lamb at my grandparents' house when I was little. I later found a picture of me holding one, so I know it happened. I also remember my great grandma's funeral. My grandpa took me for a walk and when we got back, everyone was mad. I thought they were mad at me and remember crying hysterically - turns out they were mad at my grandpa because he was drunk (he had a problem and later went through rehab - he's now open of my favorite people) and wandering the streets with me.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, charting, saliva microscope, OPKs, sex when possible, checking cm/cervix, whatever I'm forgetting.

R/R/CS: I have a rave: So not only did DH and I finally manage to have sex yesterday after 30 days of performance anxiety sex fail, I also got a positive OPK last night. I wasn't going to start OPKs till around CD14 or 15 since I haven't been Oing till around CD 20 (20, 19, 22 the last 3 months). But I decided to OPK on a whim last night before bed and it was probably the darkest OPK I've ever seen. It's a good thing that I checked last night I guess because this morning it's "nearly positive" but has definitely faded from the true positive it was last night. I told DH we should probably try to BD at least one more time. We'll see how it goes.

I'm also just really excited that I'm not Oing late this cycle. Especially since DH has to leave for a week on a work trip at the end of my projected FW. So this possible early O is just amazing.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory?

I have no idea what my best memory is but my earliest is watching a movie in the living room. I remember seeing the title screen flash and it was "Kids sing Bible verses 2" and I got really excited and was like "mom! 2! That's how old I am!"

@longliveregina Sorry you're having chart confusion, I could make a case for 18 or 20. Hopefully your temps keep going up. Keep HIO and either way I think you will have great timing!

@sarah0985 FX you can confirm O very soon!

@houseofsetters Yay for the EWCM!!

@mrsdaddario Sorry to hear about your struggles right now, FX the bleeding stops soon so you can get back to BD.

@gonetothesea lol, I mean the Smurfs were pretty awesome...

@PennStateCait So sorry to see CD1 for you, friend.

Hugs... and wouldn't it be great if eating lots of chocolate made us get KU?! I'm hoping my peak is just a fluke, but these OPKs have seemed to be very accurate for me so I'm not getting my hopes up. At least we get to hang out together in the same group for a little bit!

Morning!

WAYDTGKU: the usual

R/R/CS: getting a mani pedi right now, yay! Then home to hopefully HIO!

GTKY: I vividly recall pouring a bucket of water on my little brothers head one summer day. I think I was about 4. I told my parents I had no idea why he was all wet haha. While still clutching my bucket.

@pennstatecait give your doctor a call and see what she thinks. You might not really be out anyway if you o around the 19th. Fx your doctor has some good insight.

@gonetothesea hope AF leaves soon!

@mrsdaddario I'm sorry you're still bleeding. I hope it stops soon or you can get some answers from the doctor.

@houseofsetters what a lovely memory of your grandparents.

@sarah0985 fx for o !

@canavara I LOLed at your temping story. You really have all your bases covered!

@pretzel2plus1 have fun with your friend!

@loulieface fx for o!

i know I missed a beat much but my phone is going to die.. I'll be back later when I get home!

Hi everyone! Prob TMI but Laying in bed post morning BD and figured, what a good time to post! Lol

Month/cycle: 4

WAYDTGKU: stuff

R/R/CS: guys, I just FORGOT to temp this morning. How does that even happen? Woke up at my 6am alarm and went straight to pee without temping, went back to sleep. Wow.

had dinner w a college friend and her almost 5-month old last night--I got to hold the baby, sooooo many feels--ok, it was awesome. We had a blast! I thought it'd make me majorly jealous but it was so fun and that little one is just too cute. Baby shower today for a high school friend!

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory?

going to the park with my family--good memories!

Clomid + IUI #2 + progesterone

R/R/CS: I don't remember if I updated yesterday - I had my follie scan and have 1 big, 1 medium and 2 small follies. The RE thinks the big and medium ones will likely be ovulated, so now I'm just POAS to figure out IUI timing.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory? When my parents told me I was going to be a big sister I couldn't decide if I wanted a little brother because I adored my only male cousin and thought a little brother would be exactly like him, or if I wanted a little sister because I could dress her up like I did with my dolls.

PepperAT · April 2016

@longliveregina Sorry you are so frustrated with your chart. I agree with PP, what happens if you add a couple more high temps?
@aliciabhen Sounds like you put a lot of time and effort into this baby show. Hope you have tons of fun!
@babymish I love how you just couldn't wait to tell him. haha You guys are going to have a blast.
@Buthayna Sorry to hear you are going through this, I really hope everything gets straightened out with your friends situation.
@LoulieFace That so cute that your H is getting on board. It makes the journey that much more exciting when your in it together. Hopefully your BBT gets on board too! haha
@sparty18 Ugh, that sounds so frustrating! I hope your H makes it back in time and you guys can make it happen! FX for you!
@JediAlly85 I don't think you O'd yet either, I wouldn't get too worried. Just keep HIO! FX you see a clear temp shift soon.
@canavara Your r/r/c made me giggle. I don't think you have anything to be embarrassed about. We are all doing anything and everything possible to ease our minds and get to our end goal. Keep up the good work!

@mrsdaddario Sorry you are going through this. Hopefully your body figure itself soon!

Month/ Cycle: 9/9

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: Nothing right now, just waiting for AF to leave..

R/R/CS: The count down is on. One week until our vacation! I have been known to get the winter blues, so I am stoked that it is warming up outside and the sun is rising earlier. Can't wait for AF to leave, so we can start trying again...

GTKY: One of my earliest memories is with my Mom and sometimes I feel like I made it up in my head because I don't have any other fond memories of her, but I remember we had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches together and than she took me downtown to work with her on the train. Everything I remember about that day makes me smile.

thank you for the CH! This community is so awesome love you guys!

NamelessAria · April 2016

@longliveregina Ugh yeah that chart is a little ambiguous. I'd say probably either 18 or 20. Either way it looks like you had good timing!

@aliciabhen yay for AF being gone finally! Have fun at the baby shower (that's a phrase I don't type much on here).

@babymish that's really cute about your SO and the xbox. He sounds a lot like my DH.

@Buthayna I'm sorry to hear about your friends. Hopefully someone will decide it is worth the paperwork to help another person. I suppose it is good that the volunteer was honest with you instead of letting you believe he/she was going to help and just not doing anything. But that's still frustrating.

@LoulieFace Maybe you'll O today. I know it's frustrating to expect a temp rise and then not see it. You timing looks great so far.

@Sparty18 The bright side is if you BD today that's EoD. That's still good! I'm sorry that you didn't get a little more heads up on O.

@aammyy33 I'm sorry that you're having such a hard time. Hopefully your cycles regulate soon. It does sound a bit strange that your "coming off the pill" experiences are so wildly different. Hopefully you get some answers from the blood work.

@JediAlly85 I really don't agree with FF on O CD11. None of your temps have been especially high considering the temp on 12 isn't any higher than the temp on 9. And since you got high results starting on CD13 O on 11 just doesn't make sense. It looks like if you O soon you'll have great timing.

Go home panda youre drunk GIF

Only, ya know, FF instead of panda.

@beff12 Hopefully you O'd! Timing looks great if you did.

@pretzel2plus1 Sorry about AF. At least you also get to have a more wanted visitor.

Have fun with your friend!

@sarah0985 FX'd for more high temps!

@houseofsetters That does seem early but at least you're changing the sex marathon dates so you're covered if you do O early.

@mrsdaddario Sorry about everything going on.

You're nicer than I am with all that. I'm pretty sure if I were in your situation I'd just tell DH he had to wait till I felt up to sex. I mean sheesh don't you already have enough stuff going on that you don't like? Lots of creepy hugs.

@gonetothesea That story is adorable and the Smurfs were awesome. Sorry about AF.

@PennStateCait I do not envy that choice of skipping a cycle or risking it with Zika. Hopefully your doctor will clear you to TTC this month.

Earliest/favorite memory my Mom reading to my sisters and myself.

Sparty18 · April 2016

@NamelessAria Thanks for trying to look on the bright side, unfortunately, H is like 800 miles away, so no chance of BD today, that is why I'm frustrated.

WAYDTGKU: Nothing yet

R/R/CS: This CD1 is well-timed, I'm visiting good friends and we are going to brunch and are seeing an Oscar de la Renta exhibit.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory? I vaguely remember performing in a Christmas show with my tap class when I was like 3. They tied bells to our wrists.

NamelessAria · April 2016

@Sparty18 Sorry.

That sucks. I remember you saying that your DH would be out of town, now that you mention it. Sometimes in the morning...

meilay · April 2016

Month/cycle: 2/2

CD: 16

WAYDTKU: sex, OPKs, PNVs

R/R/CS: I'm not temping so I know it's not super accurate but I got an O day of today from FF so I'm moving over to TWW tomorrow. Though I can't be certain I O'd without temps I feel really good about timing if I did O today. DH made a good point last night which is that my method of making this happen without freaking either of us out too much is to pretty much have sex as much as possible so I'm not as worried about timing at this stage in our journey. Unfortunately the mind is strong but the flesh is weak. Lol. After tomorrow (gotta get +1 in just in case) I'll have to force myself to take a break for a day or two, even if it's a risk as I don't know if I truly O'd.

GTKY: What is your earliest/favorite early memory
Probably being taken to get McDonalds after surgery when I was about 4 or 5. I was bitten at the park by a German Shepherd (in my face) and had to have my cornea replaced. My mom never bought us fast food so getting that Happy Meal really made it better. And when we got home my older cousin was making homemade potato chips, which I still love so much.

babymish · April 2016

@aliciabhen yay for no more AF! Hope you have fun at the baby shower today - sounds like you are an awesome friend!

@buthayna I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties getting things sorted for your friend - hope you are able to find a solution soon. Also your baby leopard is gorgeous!

@Loulieface sorry for the fake out O - hopefully it happens soon. Your H sounds great, glad he is being so proactive with TTC.

@sparty18 Sorry you got a +opk when you didn't want to, although all is not lost if he is back tomorrow. You should get one more BD in within the timeframe and if this is O you will also have the one just before he left right? Hope it all works out for you.

@aammyy33 I really feel for you having such a long cycle, it must be incredibly frustrating. I hope you get some answers soon and some sign of AF.

@JediAlly85 it doesn't look to me like you O'd on CD11 and the lack of +OPK and still having fertile CM doesn't indicate you did either. Try not to worry just yet. Sometime advanced gives your CH and when you enter more temps it eventually changes them to a more appropriate O day. You could try putting in about 7 days of high temps from now and see what Advanced does with them if it would make you feel better?

@beff12 I hope you are able to pinpoint O soon.

@pretzel2plus1 Sorry to see you here

Have fun with your best friend!!

@canavara The story about your two thermometers and what your SO said really made me laugh. I bet it does look pretty funny

@sarah0895 FX that this is O !!

@houseofsetters your childhood memories sound amazing!!

@mrsdaddario sorry to hear you are still bleeding. Is it a lot of just a little? If it's a lot maybe it is worth getting it checked out? If it's a little then it's probably just irritated still and will hopefully sort itself out soon. Good luck with the BJ - as it's been so long it probably won't go on for too long anyway

@gonetothesea I love that you were too busy watching the Smurfs....those were the simple days weren't they

@pennstatecait sorry to see you back here

@QueenSunscreen I hope you get O when you want it to land for timing

@nameslessaria I'm so pleased you got some AND a positive OPK - it's like it was meant to be! Hope you get another round in too FX

@sandwichlover I'm very jealous of your mani pedi !!

@kellybean1988 I forgot to temp once or twice too and it weirded me out just as much, I usually wake up 10 mins before my temp alarm I'm that alert to it so to forget is weird.

@Ladymillil That's good news about your follies - good luck with your IUI timing!

@PepperAT How exciting about your vacation! Sorry if you have already mentioned it - but where are you going?

@mrsdee15 Sorry for CD1

@meilay ouch!! having your cornea replaced sounds so painful!
