    @EEL0824 I think my H side-eyed me for taking PNV when we first started trying too and then he heard the RE recommend that I take them as we are trying and he got it.  There is was a thread here not that long ago where we shared our husbands lack of knowledge about TTC.  It was pretty funny.

    @beary67 I may have ovulated yesterday (only time will tell) it's just really wierd because for years I have always ovulated on day 12, and since I have short cycles it makes me really nervous if I am starting to ovulate later  (because even if I did ovulate yesterday that would mean I now would have a 10 day LP) Here's my chart

  • Options
    @tripledaggerWed95976 I know you've heard it before, bur you're regular until you're not.  I know not ovulating on CD12 seems like you won't ovulate this cycle, but just give it some more time.  Based on the +OPKs and CM, it looks like it may have been yesterday.  However, your temps are throwing your chart off, especially the temp from Wednesday.  I see you noted you had a runny nose on Thursday.  Did you perhaps have a fever on Wednesday?

    @beary67 it's possible I had a bit of a fever, I definitely wasn't feeling great.  I feel like I had to have had a fever because there's no other reason my temps should be so off- I go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day and I always have the air conditioner set at 70 degrees while I'm sleeping.     I'm really hoping I ovulated-  I did get creamy CM this morning so like you said, I'm thinking (and hoping) that I did O yesterday.  I've got my fingers crossed for a temp spike tomorrow

    @ladystinson - Holy cow, I'm sorry someone broke into your house.  That would be extremely scary.  I hope you can get your doors and windows taken care of quickly.

    R/R: I think I'm going to start with the OPKs tomorrow and see what happens. 

    CS/Q:

    GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why? I don't actually have an answer for you. This is pretty morbid but my Dad's brother died when Dad was 6 and the brother was like... 17 and they still don't know what happened so I guess I would want to chat with him to find out what the heck happened but like... I don't know.

    @lulu1180 Yes, I do watch the series and really enjoying it! I think they're doing a great job with it considering the level of detail and length of the books.

    @alysapuggles With books like that the only way to do it justice is make it into a series.  I would really love to see my favorite book series made into a tv series.  It's called Kushiel's Legacy by Jacqueline Carey.

    @ladystinson, how scary! That's happened to me before. I was in the hospital recovering from an emergency appendectomy and my DH called to say that our apartment was broken into, my brand new laptop was stolen, and our cat was missing. We finally found our poor scared kitty hiding in an upper kitchen cabinet but never got the computer back. I think it was someone who worked at the apartment complex. I hope you're able to get your home secured again!

    @saralee797 @westy99 I will watch the great sperm race first to "see" if it's too much for now, lol. Regardless he really does need to understand what is going on and how it works even though we aren't "actively" trying.

    @Westy99 - I'm in contact with the bump to get my old screen name back.  I'm a serious oldie around these parts but my screenname is also so old that it didn't make it over when they converted the site.  So, Krista and tech team are working to get AvidVertigo back and active.  Trust me, I hate this screenname.  LOL
    Also, I am so worried of getting KU and stealing their thunder.  I'm hoping I can build my relationship with the both of them.  My brother and I have been better over the past few years since our parents passed but I've never been close to my SIL.  I told her last night that I was hopeful that we could bond and become closer through all of this.  They have no idea we have been trying since the beginning of the year.

    @Westy99 based on your temps, you have not ovulated yet. Have you had multiple LH surges in the past?

    Month/Cycle: benched 

    CD: 20

    WAYDTGKU: PNV, charting CM, temping, magnesium, CoQ10, B Complex, WaterPik, acupuncture

    R/R: I went to acupuncture today and he asked if my stomach was okay after feeling my wrist (I guess for my pulse). He felt beneath my belly button and went down towards the fallopian tubes. Then he asked to see my tongue and put two needles in places that hurt near my outer shin / calf. Maybe ute goggles really do exist and he knew I'm having trouble ovulating this cycle!? (I do have reflux and hadn't eaten anything yet, so maybe I was just bloated...but still!)

    CS/Q: According to FF, today and tomorrow are the last days of my FW this cycle, but temp, CM, and OPK show I haven't ovulated. In fact, today's temp was the lowest it has been since I started temping (aside from during AF). Last two cycles I ovulated on CD 20 and 21 and I have had 32-33 day cycles for most of the last few months. I'm worried that this one will be anovulatory. My longest cycle tracked on FF was 36 days and shortest was 26. I'm wondering why the chart shows 36 days possible this cycle, but the calendar shows 32. Any ideas on why? Oh, and why do I have dotted lines between CD 1 and 3? Last AF was the shortest I have ever had off BCP. Sorry my chart is messy. We traveled on the 9th and my temping got messed up. I also dropped a super low temp and slept way past my alarm another day, so hence the missing temps.


    GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why?
    I would like to hang out with my paternal grandfather one more time. He was in a coma when I went to see him before he died. I want to hear his voice one more time and to talk with him about his family.

    ETA: I'm mobile bumping. Gonna post and edit on laptop. Can't keep up with comments!

    @Cait32 Can you share your chart? I have only used Wondfos, but I had 3 days of positives once. Keep temping and DTD!
    @Westy99 I agree - I don't think you ovulated yet.
    @ladystinson That's scary and not cool! Do you have homeowner's insurance? I'd also get a surveillance camera. You can get one for like $100.
    @tripledaggerWed95976 I would have said CD 12 was O if it wasn't for that temp drop! Maybe your cycle will still have a 12 day LP, but will be longer? I also noticed you marked runny nose. Was that maybe a fever? Side note: I sometimes get a runny nose that is the stickiest right before I O. I remember this because I say I wish that my CM was the same consistency and it often is a day later! I should really start marking that on my chart to see if there really is a pattern.

    It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*

    @knottie1441390249 haha okay!  I was going to just say the thing about my sister, but was scrolling up to try to tag your name and thought of it.  I hope you guys can grow a better relationship, too!  I thought about stealing their thunder- but they were pregnant first and will deliver first. 

    @beary67 darn it! I don't know.  this is the first whole cycle we've used OPKs.  DH is having a hard time with BD so we'll go back to EOD until crosshairs.
