We all (My extended family) meet at my grandparents house and cook together, open presents, and catch up. It is so great to see everyone.

    @hezzer78 That is hard. I would BD today just to be safe and see what the next few days bring. 
    @pretzel2plus1 Yay! Congrats, that is such a good feeling, hopefully it reflects extremely well in your annual review!

    @pretzel2plus1 - Awesome!!!  Glad to hear everything went well with the audit!

    @swanbrooner - OMG, I love your tradition.  I would love to do the same thing with my Aunts and Cousins!  I may have to suggest this soonish!

    Month/Cycle: 2/1

    CD: 25

    WAYDTGKU:

    R/R: My temp. went up by .3 today like I hoped. Hoping it goes up more tomorrow.

    CS/Q: On CD24, my temp increased by just 1.8 from CD23, but I had no CM on CD24. Is it possible that O occurred on CD 23 if my temp. continues to increase going forward?

    GTKY: I love Christmas Eve with my family. There’s always around 20- 30 people there and we do a gift swap, eat lots of great food and just enjoy each other’s company.

     

    laurad75  I run every Thanksgiving too. We usually do the Manchester Road Race which has an enormous hill at the beginning and tons of people. Last year, we did one local to where H and I live and it was so much nicer. Flat the whole course- that’s my kind of race.

    @chocolatelemons If you post your chart, I'd be happy to take a look. Yes, slow rises after O rather than a big jump are possible but it's too soon to tell at this point.

    @ adirat Thanks, I would appreciate that. My temps have sort of been all over the place, but CD19-23 I had other signs as well.

    @chocolatelemons Wow, that is a tough chart. Honestly your CD15-19 spike is so much higher than your CD24-25 spike that I wouldn't feel confident saying it's a definitive O. CM and OPK do support an O near CD23 but not so much that it's a smoking gun (in my opinion).  

    Have you recently stopped hormonal birth control or started/stopped any type of hormone-influencing medication like for thyroid? Either could explain your variety of temps since your body could be adjusting.

    @adirat  Unfortunately, I don't really have an explanation for why my temps are so erratic. I don't take any medication and the only time I took hormonal birth control was about 10 years ago for a very short period of time. My cycles have always been irregular in terms of length, but I'm new to charting and we've only been TTC for a month so my doctor doesn't want to do any testing since all my bloodwork came back normal- she tested thyroid among other things. 

    Thanks for looking. I'm hoping for a more significant increase soon.

    Month/Cycle: 2/2 post-myomectomy

    CD: 17

    WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, CM checking, PNVs, CoQ10, water

    R/R: I got my new OPKs today and they don't expire until November 2017 so I'm thrilled! CM is EW although not a lot. As I've mentioned, H cut me off until the FW in the hopes that abstaining for so long (while still jerking off) would make it easier for him to have sex multiple days in a row (and finish). So now the pressure is on me to figure out when to start HIO. I could wait until the positive OPK, but I'll miss the earlier fertile days. But once is really all it takes and I'd like to hit O day this time and don't want to burn him out. And I'm way overthinking this. C'mon, Ute, can't you be predictable?

    CS/Q: Nope.

    GTKY: This hasn't been asked in a while, and it's one of my favorites!  What is your favorite tradition (family, holiday, something you do with friends, etc). 
    I'm also in the "don't continue traditions just because it's a tradition without ever considering other factors" camp, which really pisses off my parents, but as long as it's reasonable I'll participate. I'm also trying to break away from my parents' traditions so H and I can make our own, e.g., I like to do Christmas Eve at our house with just the two of us and exchange presents, since we spend christmas day at my parents' house.

    @swanbrooner  Love your Galentines, seriously sounds like a fab time. I was always jealous of people that got Glamour shots. Both my mom and my sister got to do them, but said I was too young.  :/ DH says well now you can get those boudoir shots tha people get....hmmm that might be way cooler  >:)

    @BusinessWife Good luck with the HSG. I'm not sure but I'd think they'd want to do everything they could at once -- have you asked if they will do an endo biopsy? Maybe remind them that they'll be down there anyway? hehe

    My husband's family is Italian and I love the feast of seven fishes! Yum!

    @slam1110 My parents were young, broke, and ultra conservative when I was growing up, so no Glamour Shots for me (until now!) 

    Apparently there are a few Glamour Shots studios in existence, but they do those boudoir style shoots and regular head shots now.

    @BusinessWife FWIW, my endo biopsy was done at the same time as my SHG. My HSG was the same day but in a separate room. Most people don't do all three procedures in a day because insurance doesn't typically pay to do the HSG & SHG on the same day, but because I'm self pay and was later in my cycle (CD 10), they did all three. Anyways I say this because when the nurses saw I was getting "the works," as they called it, they had to ask the doctor which order he preferred to do them in, and he specifically said that he preferred the SHG and EB be done together, although I can't tell you the rhyme or reason for the decision. I hope this helps? Also, your Christmas traditions made me hungry lol.

    If anyone is interested in an opened (expired 3/16) box of CB Advanced Digis, shoot me a message. I'll send them to you. First come first serve.

    There's conflicting info about expired ovulation tests on the Internet, but they might be worth using in conjunction with Wondfos since, you know, they are free and all. I just prefer the regular CB Digis over the advanced.

    EDIT: claimed!

    Every year we go drive around and look at Christmas lights and I love it.  Also for the past few years, we have been alternating going away on our birthdays (mine is January, DHs is February) so that's become a fun tradition too.

    @magnolia131  Thanks so much for sharing all that!  Wow, it does sound like you had a busy day that day.  I am paying OOP too, but for some reason the Radiology Dept where they would have done the HSG is crazy expensive (I think you saw me post about that earlier this week), so for like, a tenth of the price, I think the SHG is a better way to go for now.  We'll see if they want to do the biopsy too, but if they don't, it won't be for me not mentioning it!  ;)

    @berg  Oh dear.  So sorry, :(  and sending you all the CD1 hugs.  Good luck packing, though!  I know it is the worst and I am so slow!  lol

    @BusinessWife That's a really great way to think about constructive feedback that I haven't thought about before. And I get what you were saying in your spoiler boxes. I felt like that a lot as a teacher also, especially when I felt trapped to move students along when I know they weren't ready (nor did I have adequate resources to get them ready) mainly because the entire system is set up to keep them moving along if they can mostly sit quietly in a seat for 6 hours a day. So yes, thinking about how people who care about me will want me to be best self is really important. And the serenity prayer when I can't sleep is great too!

    Holy cow, this is like my 7th time trying to read all the posts today lol It was a nice day with DH tho :)

    Month/Cycle: 2/3 TTCAL

    CD: 4 

    WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, DHA, Maca, green tea, Feminine Balance Tea, OPKs starting CD10, going to try really hard to use preseed esp. if my CM is lacking again this cycle, track CM/CP likely tomorrow, HIO until DH leaves again

    R/R: DH has a pretty unpredictable work schedule. I kind of wish he was OOT this mon-fri instead of next mon-fri but that's not the case lol It still should give okay timing if I O "on time" and if I can push for Monday morning BD but that will be two cycles that the closest we can get to O is -1 timing....but that's still good, right? And again, that's a whole lot of "ifs" lol (if I O when I think I might, if I can get morning BD etc lol). Hoping preseed and somehow subtley convincing DH to avoid oral will increase the chances, at least. And then, you know, trying not to stress about it haha 


    CS/Q: no thank you!

    GTKY: I had a bit of a rough upbringing but I did like our Christmas Eve tradition which was to have "fancy appy" type foods....crackers, cheese, pickles, smoked oysters, stuff like that...and to open one gift. Also my mom and I would put together a "wifesaver" breakfast that you just throw in the oven Christmas morning.
    BUT now I'm very into making our own traditions because, as mentioned, my family can be kind of awful----example: I always come to open presents with my nieces and nephew at my brother's/mom's place but this past Christmas they told me what time to get there and then as I was about to leave my mom texted me that my brother let them open the presents already. So I basically cried Christmas morning :'( 
    What was lovely, tho, was that DH and I had BIL over for Christmas Eve and we did the appy thing on a huge scale....salmon sashimi, oysters, pâté, crackers, pickles of all kinds, cheese platter, etc and my "famous" peanut brittle and cookies and fudge ...and of course booze. We listened to Christmas music all day (I LOVE Christmas music haha), watched Christmas movies, and then opened presents later that night. I think we're doing that again this year and I'm looking forward to it :) I'm also planning a nice thanksgiving with some fun Pinterest decorating ideas and yummy recipes because I LOOOOOVE cooking and being kind of fancy :)

    eta: sorry for cd1 @Dinosaur :( creepy Internet hugs
