    @LadyMillil, sorry that you're under the weather. I'd take a runny nose over congestion any day! Take care of yourself. 
    @krys, we certainly understand your need to step back from TB, but I'm so glad to see you back here! I can't speak to the b6 question, but I hope it's working for you! And yay for the job being better for you!!
    @berg, I had to pet her to stop her from snoring. Sometimes it's hard for me to tell if it's DH or the cat that's snoring!

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 7 or 8 DPO

    Timing: It was ok, but probably not great.

    Testing: I think it's way too early to test even though I'm tempted. I'm also like 99% sure I'm not based on timing.

    R/R: This is going to be a long, crazy week at work and all I want to do is curl up in my bed and eat ice cream lol. 

    CS/Q: My temps are getting higher and higher, and I'm having a lot of trouble trusting them. To be fair, for the past couple of days I've been waking up a little before my alarm and falling in and out of sleep before officially temping, but I don't move at all before sitting up to temp. Still though, my temps are now 1.2 degrees higher than the were pre-o, and I'm not sure that being in and out of sleep for 30 minutes can do that? I don't know...kinda driving myself crazy and hoping that I did in fact O! I think I'll "trust" my body more next cycle. I even had DH take his temp just to make sure the thermometer was working correctly lol. Has anyone else had unusually high temps during a cycle?

    @Krys: Totally with you on Sons of Anarchy! DH watched the whole thing together. 

    @Jenshoes: I've heard drinking can make your temps a bit higher, but I don't know how factual that is! I assume it's different for everyone.

    @Dilynne, don't you just hate when stupid dreams make you do things that you don't want to or know you shouldn't? I'm right there with you today lady!

    @ShadeofGreen816 Same here.  I woman I know who struggled with IF and is now pregnant told me I had to stop exercising or cut back a lot if I wanted to GKU.  I gave her my canned response 'Thank you so much for the advice' but it got me thinking that maybe I should cut back and I had been using that as an excuse.  

    In regards to OPK's.  I start with wondfos early because I missed O a couple of cycles back.  If I start to see a line I will test 2 or 3 times a day with CB digital or the CVS brand until its a firm positive.

    @NurseK2016 @laurad75 @wabash15 @shadeofgreen816 @lund (maybe I should have waited..)
     I gave in & tested at work... BFN. But I did have like 16 oz over water over the past few hours... would that impact it? Idk... definitely feeling let down.  No AF symptoms though.  My body is making me go BSC!
    @dilynne sorry for the BFN :(

    @CallaLily25 I'm with you on the ice cream... All I wanted to do yesterday was eat lots of food

    @laurad75 I stay stick with the exercise... Isn't is supposed to be good for TTC?

    @vflux33 I did laser hair removal many years ago, and they always said not to do it if you were pregnant... Not sure if it is the same thing

    Thanks @Jenshoes! It's not the same kind of laser treatment, but that advice probably holds true for all laser treatments. More confirmation I need to test way earlier than planned tomorrow just in case.

    @shadeofgreen816 thanks for having awesome taste and reminding me.  How could I forget The Office?!  My old job was The Office.  I swore one particular co-worker was going to pull an Andy (luckily he was let go before he could).  Now I need to go Netflix all the seasons and binge. I love TV... probably too much.

    @rainbowturtles I did like Parenthood.  I watched in on Netflix just this past winter.  I watched it mainly for Lauren Graham but then for the guy who plays Joel, because he's hot.  In fact learned on Saturday night that he is also in American Sniper and is equally as hot in that.  Great movie BTW.  So sad but so well done.

    Month/Cycle:  9/10 (4AL)

    CD/DPO:      17/4

    Timing:      -5, -4, -1, +1, +2

    Testing:      With my recent shorter LPs, and the fact that I've started acupuncture again and hope this one will be longer, I seriously have no effing clue

    R/R:      I go here now!  Well,  I think I do, although FF and my temps are trying to drive me over the edge.  For the past couple of cycles, my pre-O temps have been running pretty hot.  I see a shift after O, but it's been much closer, and this month I had to switch to Research on FF to even get my crosshairs.  All my signs, including a positive OPK and EWCM, have lined up with this shift, but only Research agrees. 

    On the plus side, we had OK timing.  Also, I get to have acupuncture today.  My acupuncturist even asked me to email her my FF chart prior to coming in so that she can determine my treatment from it.  This makes me borderline hot, LOL.  It's so awesome that she takes it seriously and makes good use of it.

    CS/Q:      I'm pretty comfortable that I O'd, but I love a good CS, so have at it if you're interested :)


    GTKY:      Wow, that's a hard question!  There is so much great TV out there.  GG definitely came to mind first.  I also really loved Mad Men.  Someone mentioned MASH, and that is definitely on my list, as well as West Wing.

    But for pure fun, I love me some Scrubs!

    @jenshoes sorry about the BFN, really dilute urine could have had an effect, if no AF I would test again tomorrow with FMU. 

    @rainbowturtles so glad you didn't have to drive DH this morning. Men are so funny, the other day I asked DH to clean the bathroom, so he wiped down the counter and did a quick scrub of the toilet. I asked if he cleaned the tub and his response was "no, we don't take baths"... Really?!? we shower in that tub everyday and its in the bathroom so for me it was logical that when asked to clean the bathroom it would get cleaned too, but I guess men think differently!

    @buthayna it is a very pretty chart

    @Aurora1973 Hey there!  I agree that it looks like you O'd on CD 13 but what the deal with all your open circles? 

    Tell me about acupuncture.  I'm starting it next week and they share an office with my RE clinic so they all work together.  My nurse highly recommended it and they will try to schedule my appts around my IUI next cycle.  I'll try anything!

    @laurad75 I meant to tag you earlier...it's awesome to finally be in the same phase with you again...now we just need to find @ahrains and the others whose usernames I am totally blanking on for an AMA group hug!  Thanks for the CS.  Oh holy crap, the open circles!  The first week I was on vacation and DGAF.  But the rest, with a couple of rare exceptions, are within an hour of my regular temp time and with at least 3 hours sleep.  Also, OH gets up at least once a week at 3 am to leave town for work, and that's the only time I'll have 3 hours in on those days since I get up at 5ish.  Also, who am I kidding?  My previous charts are littered with open circles.  I get up to pee before my alarm but with less than 3 hours until I have to get up on the regular.  I should probably just say eff it and start setting my alarm for 2 or 3...I just don't wanna!

    @jenshoes, I'm happy to tell you both about acupuncture.  I used it previously for migraines, when I went off of the med I used to take to prevent them because it isn't pregnancy-safe.  It worked great for that, but it turns out, at least I think, that it helped make my LPs longer.  I noticed that my cycles got shorter when I was released from care because my migraines were under control.  So after 2 stupidly short cycles, last week I started going to a practice that specializes in fertility that was recommended by my prior acupuncturist, as well as my IVF/RE doc.  They've also been written up in a local magazine because of their success rate.  They not only are into charting, but they asked to see any of my test results and would like me to get more done.

    So the main thing I'm concentrating on is my LP, as well as the fact that I'm AMA.  LOL, my acupuncturist said that she "got a 43 year old pregnant this summer."  Hopefully that's a good sign!

    If nothing else, being treated is very relaxing.  The needles don't hurt, although you might feel a little when they are first inserted.  Then you get to lay there for around 30 minutes, and I almost always fall asleep.  Also, my acupuncturist is also an herbalist, and she incorporates that and supplements.  She was pleased when I told her what I'm taking, and also told me she thinks I have a lactose intolerance and recommended enzymes to take when I eat dairy.  I think she might be right!!

    That was a lot, but there's a lot to it.  Fire away if you have any questions!

    @BertieMeetsGertie and @Dilynne - sorry for the BFNs - hopefully the dreams were right, just a bit early!
    @LadyMillil - hope the congestion clears up soon.. certainly makes temping trickier
    @lulu1180 - I probably wouldn't mark that as nausea in the checkbox of symptoms, but you could write a note in the note section just in case it might mean something later
    @Krys - I'm new since you were last here, but welcome back! Sometimes I do wonder if being here feeds my TTC obsession too much but it's nice to have the community and support
    @ShadeofGreen816 - sorry for BFN but still hoping for you later this week!
    @Jenshoes - aww, sorry for the BFN today.. maybe just too dilute? Or maybe O date was later than you thought? Still hoping for you.
