Testing: Waiting for 10DPO. I'm really tempted to start tomorrow, but luckily I have a friend visiting for the weekend, so that'll distract me til Tuesday.
R/R: FRRIIIIIDAAAAAAY!
And it's a long weekend, so my office is shutting at 3.30pm - w00t.
CS/Q: My post-o chart overlay continues to be beautiful. Tomorrow should be the first drop though, so I'll be insanely excited if it isn't.
GTKY: in honor of the Labor Day weekend in the US, what was your first job? And Canada too! I transcribed doctors' notes into their new computerized system. I took over for two people that had walked out and cleared their "huge" backlog in about a week! Plus I got really good at deciphering bad handwriting, which helped when I started working at a law firm.
@leekat14 "By tomorrow there will be a different temp to complain about" is the TTC motto
@eggplantface Oh god, during the TWW, I seem to spend all my time on countdowntopregnancy.com (when I'm not randomly refreshing FF and hoping it'll suddenly say I'm KU).
Timing: -4, -2, -1 or -5, -3, -2, not confident on o date
Testing: Maybe next weekend
R/R: Heavy cramps and DH not feeling well meant no sex on DPO -1, or 0. Come on body, WTF.
CS/Q: I had VERY heavy cramping on CD 14 and 15, none on CD 16 but no temp rise until CD 17 (today). Does anyone else have experience with o pain? I have a history of mid-cycle pain and very light spotting but with this being my first month of actual charting, I don't have any data to reference.
GTKY: in honor of the Labor Day weekend in the US, what was your first job? First official job was washing dishes for a bakery. It was fine but I was 14 and hated having a job!
R/R: I procrastinate and I've put off doing a few big orders that need to be done by Monday night for my etsy shop. Gonna spend all weekend working to get them done
CS/R: Nothing.
GTKY: In honor of Labor Day, what was your first job? Other than babysitting, my first legit job was at Zumiez, a skate/apparel store at our local mall.
R/R: It's almost the weekend. I'm determined to stay calm through the day and to keep my students calm and happy today. So far, so good.
My husband's band is playing a show again this weekend out of town. We will visit his family while we are there, which should be fun. His parents are sweet and I get along well with his cousin.
CS/Q: Not now
GTKY: in honor of the Labor Day weekend in the US, what was your first job? I worked at a local video and music store.
@TalesOfASocialIntrovert I don't normally notice O pain, but I think I did this past cycle. If I do, I tend to notice a localized pain in the area of one ovary or the other. Generally it's pretty short-lived or maybe persists for a few hours. I might have some generalized abdominal discomfort/bloating afterwards for a day or so. I'm pretty sure I O pretty close to feeling the initial pain. However, it can be different for other people. Some experience pain before, during, and/or after ovulation and the discomfort can be brief or last a day or two from what I've read.

Thoughts on drinking during the TWW? I should ovulate around 9/15-9/18 and we just got invited to an event on 9/24 I will be in the TWW then. With my DS I drank until it was a positive test.
Look at all these beautiful charts!! Yessss, that's what I like to see!!
@deadasthatsquirrel YES, also in Canada LoL hello again, my Canadian friend!
Month/Cycle: 3/3 TTCAL
CD/DPO: 17/3
Timing: -4, -2, 0
Testing: after last cycle I told myself I wouldn't test until 12dpo and of course I have amazing willpower....
R/R: I promise I won't always post so many gifs, just in a giphy mood, apparently lol I think my only rant right now is that my temps are still quite low, even tho they are creeping up daily. Might be something to bring up to the doc/OB in the future but of course I stalked the chart gallery in FF to make myself feel better
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: in honor of the Labor Day weekend in the US, what was your first job? I think my first job was working in a concession at a farmer's market. I lived in "the sticks" lol
@deadasthatsquirrel So I'm not the only one who stares at her chart for minutes at a time willing it to give me some secret hint that I'm KU??
@LADY324 I'm in the "drink 'til it's pink" category, which is why I'm testing tomorrow before drinking at night. If it's BFN, I'm not pregnant at this time so alcohol is fine and encouraged.*
*not a doctor
ETA: Until implantation (6-12DPO) any embryo that could be in there is just floating around without blood flow so it wouldn't be affected.

@eggplantface Someone on Reddit said that it was like she expected a sudden pop-up to appear: "Oh wait, you've checked so many times that we decided to reanalyze your chart and you are in fact pregnant"
R/R: I keep spotting (mainly in the morning, which is weird) and with a .2 temp drop this AM I'm fairly confident I'll officially be out either today or tomorrow. Laaaaaame.
CS/Q: Negative
GTKY: in honor of the Labor Day weekend in the US, what was your first job? My first job was technically off the books. I used to bait scates for fishing boats; basically I'd hook bait on these looooooong ropes that boats would use to catch fish. On the book, I worked at an ice cream and espresso shop.
Guys! FF gave me CH this morning, but I have so many questions! I'm CD27 and I thought 3DPO but FF is telling me 5DPO. I'm confused because I got a positive OPK at 5:30PM the day that FF is saying was my O day. Now, I know some women don't get a positive until they ovulate, but I had a normal for me temp the next morning and cramps that night around 8PM (on what I'm assuming was my O-day). So...I'm either O and +1 or -1, -2, O depending on who is right (me or FF). I won't be testing anytime soon. Maybe next Sunday if AF hasn't come. My first job was babysitting or scooping ice cream if you have to pay taxes for it to count

@mrsegan13 Can you include a screen shot of your chart please?
It is possible to O anytime from 12-48 hours after your OPK FIRST becomes +. So depending on how often you test, if you caught your surge on the later end, etc, ovulating on the same day as a + is not unheard of.

@BitterBetty12, thanks for your willingness to help. Also, I have more temps in the 6-7AM than any other range, but for some reason, FF set my average time to a different time and so I have a lot of open circles, when, in reality, my last 10 temps were all taken in the 6-7AM time range. I'm a teacher, so August was an eratic month for me, but I really did my best. This is my first time charting; I know it's not as pretty as some others.
Oh, also! I took an OPK that was negative at like 9:30AM and then got the positive at 5:30PM that same day. If I O'd that day, it'd be one short surge! Also, my temp on CD24 was taken after almost no sleep (we had 5 people and a dog staying at our house), so I'm not sure if it's an accurate temp.

@mrsegan13 I almost definitely think you're right and are only 3dpo. I'd be curious to see if FF eventually changes your CHs with sustained high temps. I would go off of the later date anyway to avoid testing early.

Thanks @BitterBetty12! I really appreciate it. I also think my odds are better with my version of O day, so I'm hoping FF changes too. Thank you for helping me! Best of luck to you!!

@mamashan12 I sell personalized things: canvases, etched glasses/vases, personalized tumblers, ring dishes, bridal/birthday sashes. Really anything you can personalize, I can do lol https://www.etsy.com/shop/designsbyjennyi
@mrsegan13. I agree that you wouldn't normally expect to O the *same day* as your pos opk, plus the continued fertile cm would lead me to lean towards 3dpo ;)

GTKY: my first job besides babysitting, was factory work, while I was still in high school working nights on weekends. It sucked. And I lasted 9 months. I honestly dunno how I managed to do that job and maintain my grades. It was all work and no play school year.

@swimsister I won't pretend to know much about when it's time to go to the fertility specialist... but I think the standard is 6 mo. If you're 35 (or I'd say getting closer to 35) and a year if you're under that. On the other hand... the worst a dr. Is going to say is call back in 6 months (maybe with a request for you to be charting or doing something specific- I'm not sure if you are-where, if you didn't make the call you would never have known and been set back another few months!)
@BusinessWife agh!!! Your chart is looking great! Fx for you!!
Re: TWW Friday
@maebee87 - what a rip! If the store won't take it back, contact the manufacturer and see if they'll give you a refund.
@marybpoppins - good luck testing!
@mamashan12 - maybe implantation dip? it's nice to hope so
@delujm0 - sorry for the BFN but crossing fingers for a BFP later - it can happen!
@AngelaPlus3 - good luck testing again tomorrow!
