WAYDTGKU temping, OPK, preseed
R/R: so I woke up this morning and my temp is still hovering at 97.7. This is my first time not getting my FF crosshairs :-( and since I have 25 day cycles I'm thinking this could possibly be an annovulatory month for me. I'm so bummed
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why?
hunter s. Thompson. He's my favorite author and was an amazingly interesting person. I would have loved to hang out with him for a day!!
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: pnv, temping, opk, cm, cp, preseed
R/R: so we've been in Savannah for a few days and as some of you likely know, several scenes in Forrest Gump were filmed here, like the scene in the beginning with the floating feather. So, we were walking around last night and I saw a feather floating in the air. I caught it in my hands! I know it's lame but I'm taking it as a good sign this month!
CS/Q: nothing today
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why?
well many of you know about my obsession with Ryan gosling, so right now I'll go with him!

WAYDTGKU: Waiting for my uterus to stop being angry
R/R: Between DH beating me to the bathroom this morning (making me run a few minutes later than I would like) and the stupid drivers on the road pissing me off I'm not sure which annoyed me more!
CS/Q: not that I can think of
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why? This question is harder to answer than I thought it would be. I'm waffling between the celebrity route with David Tennant (I still miss 10), the personal route with my grandfather that passed when I was only a couple months old, or the historical route with Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

WAYDTGKU: AF is gone! Vitamins, BBT and CM for now.
R/R: I hit the gym three times this week and I plan on running tomorrow down the shore so heyyoooo feeling back on track! I also got invited to my bff's for dinner on Sunday so she can ask all her bridesmaids to be in the wedding. It will be a nice way to end the weekend. Re appt on Monday is really what I am looking forward to though. I am bracing myself because we haven't had any testing so I doubt we will learn much without that. At least it is a step in the right direction.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why? Honestly, I really would like to meet Adele. Specifically, carpool karaoke with Adele (not filmed because I have a terrible voice) because, fun.
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: Hooray for AF being gone and now its time for all things!
R/R: Its friday! last night night we finished bagging up these awful thorny bushes that we had in the front of our house, we cut them down on saturday night but didn't have any yard bags at the time. No rants yet
CS/Q: not yet, my chart so far is amazingly steady, its usually more rocky. (A few people have been asking about the whole getting up to pee early and which time to temp. One month I took my temp whenever I woke up after 3 hrs of sleep but my DS was getting me up at all hours so my temps were really rocky, FF recommended temping at a regular time even if I had been awake or briefly up as long as I had gone back to sleep, and so far that has really evened out my chart.)
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why? I'm going to have to think on this one. maybe jacuqe custoe (sp?) It would be interesting to talk to someone who did so much for conservation and exploring of the sea.
@cait32 some cycles i have a pos OPK two to three days in a row. it sounds hopeful for O yesterday or today so take advantage of vacation to HIO!
@tripledaggerwed95976 hopefully this is not an anovulatory cycle just a long one and O is still coming.
@bertiemeetsgertie that is really cool that you caught a floating feather. fx it is your good luck sign
@lulu1180 I hope the rest of your day is less annoying. DH would be with you on 10.

WAYDTGKU: BD, OPK's, Folic Acid, Luvena, Metformin (Type 2)
R/R: I got my OPK's in the mail last night so I tested right away and my line was extremely close to positive - like it was just an itty bitty bit lighter. My CM pointed to it being O time. We BD'd last night, so FX that it actually was O. I'm not charting currently, I've decided that if this cycle we haven't made progress that my next cycle I do plan on temping and charting. Honestly, I just get so obsessive over it and it stresses me out. My doctor told me specifically that I needed to get my stress under control. When I tested this morning on OPK, it seems my line has gotten lighter, so I will be moving over to 2ww tomorrow.
*trigger* I found out yesterday that my SIL and Brother are expecting. This is their first and my only sibling so it is extremely exciting for me! I am so looking forward to spoiling this little one!
CS/Q: N/A
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why? John Lennon, I seriously wish this man would have never been shot, he had a strong movement of peace and I think he would have made a difference even yet today on where we are in the world.

R/R: got positive wondfo around 4 last night and peak on CBAD this morning - our timing might actually be great this time and OH's attitude this month is so different (in a good way) that I just feel at peace with whatever happens this month
CS/Q: I think my bbt is favoring temps. ill see how it plays out the next few days.
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why?
This is hard because do I pick someone for fun or some one to have a serious conversation with - at this point, I think our country needs some inspiration so I would probably would choose to meet with MLK Jr to get his perspective on this crazy world we are living in currently

WAYDTGKU: period tracker app, prenatal vitamins. Taking it easy these first few months.
R/R: Rant: my husband and I got into an argument yesterday because when I told him I was taking prenatals he said "this is going too fast". Turns out he is super nervous. I also had to LITERALLY explain how there is ONE egg a month on one day so the likelihood of me getting KU right away is slim. He doesn't believe me. He thinks because his mom got pregnant with his sister and him (without tracking) that there has to be more than one egg. I told him he seriously needs to read up on how pregnancies happen. I had NO idea he knew so little. Seriously. I wanted to scream.
CS/Q: nothing today
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why? Oh this is really tough, I agree with PPs. I am going to give two answers:
Alive - Dave Matthews because he really seems like such a cool, down to earth guy. I would love to jam out to his music with him.
Dead- Prince, because he was so awesome in life! Such a great person!
*edit because I cannot spell today.
@tripledaggerWed95976 CD 15 is still pretty early... hope your O shows soon!

@BertieMeetsGertie I hope that is a good sign!!
@Knottie1441390249 FX for O and what timing with those OPKs arriving when they did!
@Marley629 Things seem to be lining up for you! I hope this is your cycle
ETA: @EEL0824 I got my DH to watch the great sperm race and does this baby make me look fat and it helped him understand A LOT. You be the judge though because I guess it could make him feel like things are moving too fast too. Ugh men right?

WAYDTGKU: vitamins, bding, etc etc
R/R: nothing TTC related... we had someone break into our house yesterday while we were at work. They only stole 2 tv's (left behind the ridiculous amount computer equipment that DH has behind) but its creepy to know someone was there. We both had to run to work for a bit but we're headed home soon to make sure everything is as secure as we can make it until all the windows and doors can be replaced because we're pretty sure it was the previous owner (super shady, history of theft. Was arrested the week after we settled on the house and was just released 2 weeks ago) ugh....
CS/Q: nothing to look at, no way I was temping this morning
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why? Tolkien, maybe Poe. Of course there are lots of world leaders and what not that would be awesome, but YAY BOOKS! lol

WAYDTGKU: same as before
R/R: It's hot and humid, again. Thought we were off the hook, but no! On the positive side, DS first day of school went great on Wednesday, so whew on that!
CS/Q: WTH, body? This cycle was going a bit weird for me so far. Days of ewcm but no positive OPK. Keep testing to hope to catch it. Nothing. Last couple days had temp rising, so I was preparing for a 3rd temp rise this morning and hopefully call it done. Except last night I decide to try one last OPK just because, and it turns positive. Huge temp drop this morning. I mean, I guess things are a bit clearer now, but I thought I was about to be done HIO for a few days. Am I the only one who enjoys a few "days off" after getting CH??
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why? Hmm, I'm awful at thinking of these, but I would love to have a conversation with Diana Gabaldon because I love the Outlander books!

CS/Q: not today
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why? I think I'd like to meet my paternal grandparents when they were young, living in Hungary right before the Holocaust. They both survived the Holocaust, and I would've loved to know what they were like before going through that horrendous experience.

@Cait32 Do you have the link for your chart that you could share or a screenshot? I had a hard time choosing between a celebrity or important historical type figure but I think Meryl Streep would be a great choice and certainly provide some interesting conversation!
@tripledaggerWed95976 This could be your instance of you’re regular until you’re not. Hopefully FF gives you CH soon!
@BertieMeetsGertie That’s an amazing movie! Fx that’s a good sign! J
@Saralee797 Awesome job on working out! I can’t seem to keep motivated more than a week or two at most…I blame it all on DH lol
@wabash15 Glad you got your chart to even out! Yay for Whovians! I sometimes like to stick little things like that in to see who will pick up on it.
@Knottie1441390249 Congrats on becoming an aunt! It really is great! You get to spoil the kids rotten then give them back to mom and dad.
@Marley629 Fx this is your month! Glad your OH’s attitude is so great!
@EEL0824 When I had my annual lady appt last year, I talked to my OB about wanting to start TTC after the wedding and she told me to start PNVs as soon as I go off the pill. I relayed it to DH and he didn’t question it. I do feel lucky that my DH knows how all this works, too. I guess that’s one definite advantage to marrying a farm boy.
@slam1110 Congrats on getting CH! Fx this is your month!
@ladystinson Sorry to hear about your home. There is nothing that shakes up your sense of security more than knowing a stranger invaded what is supposed to be your safe haven. I hope they catch whoever did it! Tolkien would be a great choice!! Yay bookworms! Lol
@alysapuggles I know last month I was happy to know I finally O’d and that the pressure was off for the rest of the month! Have you watched the Outlander series?? I’m still working through season 1 but so far it seems amazing! Makes me wish we had Starz included in our cable package.
@LuND Sorry for CD 1 but it’s always good to look on the bright side of things!

Getting off birth control has been awful!! I am so ready for my cycle to get somewhat regular. I went to the doctor yesterday and she said it takes about 3 months for your body to bounce back from BC so hopefully things get better soon!

@EEL0824 I second the having him watch the great sperm race. It’s on youtube- about an hour long. But it helped my DH get it all in perspective.
@Slam1110 yah! for crosshairs. Hopefully see you over there soon.

CS/Q: Chart stalkers on Wednesday thought I might have ovulated Wednesday/Thursday. DH couldn’t get it up on Wednesday, so I woke up early Thursday to BD before work. That didn’t happen either. So now I have an open circle on the day we thought I might ovulate. Open to any chart stalks?
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why? Wait a real person? Because I totes would love to meet Dumbledore. Or Harry. Or maybe Hagrid. If you expect me to give you a real person, I would say I’ll have to get back to you on that.

@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.
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.

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.

@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.

*TW loss mentioned*
R/R: Last night was a tough one. This has been a hard year for me. Yesterday, I started missing my grandparents like crazy. I lost my grandpa in November, and then my grandma followed in March. I started crying out of nowhere because it occurred to me that what I wanted so much was to have a baby and show it to them. Instead, I lost my baby this month, and they are with my baby before I am. It's so backwards and not at all what I imagined.
On another note, I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I hate the term "rainbow baby." A cousin told me she hoped I get my rainbow baby, and I don't want my future baby to be tied to a reminder of my previous loss. The one I lost was its own person, and any new baby will be its own person. I know the term is meant to be positive and happy, but it's just a reminder of a tragedy to me.
CS/Q: Unless you have a crystal ball that can predict when I'll ovulate for sure, I've got nothing.
GTKY: If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be and why?
Queen Cleopatra of Egypt. I have always been fascinated by her, and I know so much of the negative views people have are based on Roman propaganda.
