CS/Q:

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment?

NYTino24 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, CP, OPK, PNV, CoQ10, B complex, magnesium, PreSeed, DTD EOD

R/R: Hormones are making me ragey and I had major insomnia until I fell asleep after 4 hours of trying...and then DH came home and woke me up. He's supposed to come into my class and talk about fire safety today.

CS/Q: My temp dropped dramatically all 3 times I took it. I would have gotten CH with a sustained temp. Now I have no idea what the deal is other than I'm starting to have more of my typical O signs now... and any temp will pretty much show a big rise after this one. Back to HIO I guess. (And that is why you don't move to TWW until you have 3 sustained temps!!!)

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment?

That Daya song "Sit Still, Look Pretty" has a part about HBIC... meaning Head Bitch in Charge. Justin Beiber's song is really funny if you replace love in "Love Yourself" with F*** - that's what it's really meant to say.

laurad75 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: temping (I always forget to put that, pnv, epo; as soon as I get home we start HIO. I haven't seen H in over a week!

R/R: I am bumping from an airplane and about to land. I luckily sleep through most of the flight so I just took my temp. With the time change, weird sleeping situation and the fact that I got up to pee first, it's my least accurate temp since cycle 1 experimentation but I couldn't just not temp.

CS/Q: nah. This cycle is a mess. Traveling does not play well with TTC

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment?

I'm coming home from Vegas. My mind was blowing up my every second.

NYTino24 · October 2016

@laurad75 Yay for going home to see DH! I'm impressed you temped on the plane!

TinyTurtle · October 2016

@NYTino24 sounds like you're having a rough day, hope you got some rest and that your temp sustains soon. This is def a time that tests a person's patience...
@laurad75 hope you had an amazing time away! Sounds like you really did

Month/Cycle: 6/4

CD:16

WAYDTGKU: BD ED, PNV, green tea, CM/CP (think I'll be O-ing in the next few days FX'd)

R/R: Another therapist asked me to sit in with a clinic last night so worked late, I was happy to do it but then she left me for an additional hour to do her admin which was super cheeky. On the plus side I got to take some time back this morning so have had a lovely and much needed lie in!

CS/Q: It might be a bit gross, apologies in advance, but has anyone noticed that BD changes their CM the next day? CP seems your classic O soft/open but CM is more watery than it has been the last few cycles at this point. Previous cycles we've BD EOD so wondering if that may be an extra variable to account for?

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment?
I'm sure there have been aha moments since, but I vividly remember my astonishment at what Britney Spears' If You Seek Amy actually meant!!

purplg8r · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, temping, OPKs, completely cut out all caffeine, starting CoQ10 & making hubby take it too

R/R: driving home this evening (about 2.5 hours away). Hubby's twin brother lives in the same city as my parents & brother. Their parents are visiting them so we're having a big family dinner--my parents, my brother & wife, hubby's twin & wife & hubby's parents. My parents & brother are very loud, love to drink, are bubbly & outgoing--my parents think they're my age. Hubby's parents are very quiet and reserved and maybe have 1 glass of wine. They've met 3 times and get along but it's always stressful. Them we're driving his parents down to stay with us and I'm stressing because I hate people staying with us & this will be the first time his parents ever have. So stressed & ready for it to be Tuesday.

CS/Q: CM--I'm having a hard time distinguishing, even after looking at some websites. Approx how long of each CM type do you have during your cycle?

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment? Let me think on this

NYTino24 · October 2016

@TinyTurtle that was so sneaky of her! I'd say my CM tends to be more towards EWCM after DTD, but it can't be trusted for many hours after since it may still be "leftovers".
@purplg8r I think CM varies by person and each individual cycle. It can be affected by many things like medication and hydration. Some women rarely / never get EWCM. The problem with tracking it is there isn't really a measurement - what is "a lot" is relative. I know it took a while off BCP to notice.

KhRun17 · October 2016

@NYTino24 - What an odd temp drop. Hope you can figure out when you O!
@TinyTurtle - I've been told before to not really count any CM within 12 hours or so of BD because it can be his semen/fluid still leaking out...? I don't know if that really answers your question...
@purplg8r - I feel ya on the family stress! You got this!

Sorry if I post-and-ghost, I'll be back later tonight for comments - IL's are still here.

Month/Cycle: 8/6

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt, opk, cm, cp, preseed

R/R: I work tomorrow all day, and IL's leave after church on Sunday! LAST DAY! Oh I'm so ready for this. No super interesting stories from yesterday. I had to go to a meeting, so I left them on a hiking trail halfway up a mountain, so that was funny to me yesterday. I just left and told them to keep walking up, they'd find the top. Haha. And proud that we got BD in at midnight last night, and then I got positive OPK on both CB and Wondfo this morning!! (had a positive wondfo yesterday afternoon too!) I O'd this early last cycle too, weird. I'll take a shorter FP!

CS/Q: When you have Wondfo's AND do CB, which do you put in FF? Thanks to @wabash15 I did Wondfo's in the morning and afternoon yesterday, and got a positive in the afternoon. Then this morning both the Wondfo and CB showed positive. So do I mark yesterday as positive, or negative because that's what CB showed...? Or am I being ridiculous and you just use one? I just wanted to try my Wondfo's and just got them, so was already doing CB.

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment? Umm... I don't know right now...it's too early for me to think this deep. I'll edit if I think of something later.

rainbowturtles · October 2016

Just wanted to say hi to all and I got my solid crosshairs this morning (after a particularly awful sleep!). I'm off to TWW

GL to everyone!

Also, we've been talking about charts a lot lately so I thought I'd post mine just in case anyone was curious what a fallback rise looks like. Yay, science

Anna_1021 · October 2016

@NYTino24 What a disturbing drop! I'm new to charting so can't share a serious insight on it, but I'm there with you on how frustrating this "you never know until you know for sure"-feeling can be on this whole TTC journey. FX that you see O soon

@purplg8r and @KhRun17 it seems to be IL season this week. Hold on!

@TinyTurtle I second that CM can't be trusted that much after BD. Because all the "leftover" stuff from both parties, it changes. But again, I'm a newbie, so what do I know?

Month/Cycle: 13/8

CD: 18 (oh, Mighty O, please come finally..!)

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPK (which I keep forgetting this week, and just do in absolutely stupid times, like 9 pm), BD EOD

R/R: I said earlier that work is being crazy, which is also good and bad (good to be appreciated, bad for ...duh, crazy..). Well the second half of the week it turned towards the negative end. Yesterday I got so worked up about the sh***t tsunami that I almost cried. At work. Beautiful. :P After I got home just curled up in hubby's lap for sereval minutes, he was great about it though.

Even managed to BD later, which was much needed since I really should O any minute now.

CS/Q: nope, though I start to lose my grip on when I'll ever O this cycle, so I might ask for some chart stalk later.

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment? I'm sorry I'll have to get back to you on it later, my mind is still kind of fried from yesterday.

hqinmd · October 2016

@NYTino24 could your temp today be affected by not sleeping well or mouth breathing or something? Could be a fallback rise exaggerated by some other factor?
@purplg8r hope all goes well with your ILs!
@KhRun17 I don't use both, just wondfos, but would put in whichever is a more definite positive. Probably the digital?

Month/Cycle: 3/4

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Charting BBT, CM, CP; OPK, PNVs maybe Preseed, attempting EOD during FW (though it hasn't worked out that way in the past)

R/R: It's Friday! And this weekend I'm going to make DH go wth me to get paint samples so we can work on improving our house. We've only been here three years...

CS/Q: nada

GTKY: jeez. I'm so lame. I know there have been some but I'm drawing a complete blank.

shstephenson · October 2016

@laurad75 bonus points for temping on a plane. That is commitment people!
@purplg8r good luck with the fam situation. Fx everyone plays nicely this time!

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: attempting to stop myself from wallowing in self pity, temping, PNV, CoQ10... Coming soon: green tea, OPKs, HIO with Preseed

R/R: Its the last night of high school football for me and my team so I could not be happier! Now lets just pray for no injuries tonight. Another rave: DH and I are considering adopting a Catahoula puppy today! I'm a little nervous though because we have two outside cats (recently transplanted from the great indoors so they're having an interesting time adjusting) and our Shorkie, Sophia. She has been the baby for two years now so we aren't sure how she will react to another puppy being in our lives. THIS PUPPY IS SO CUTE I COULD DIE THOUGH GUYS. Of course DH thinks I am filling the baby void in my life with a new puppy... and he might not be wrong.

CS/Q: Nothing to see yet

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment?
Literally any time I watch a Disney movie as an adult. So much adult humor that I never understood as a child.

Pinky917 · October 2016

@purplg8r Like @NYTino24 said CM is going to be different for everyone. I personally have never gotten EWCM, but since I have been checking for a while I am able to tell what my fertile CM is. It is going to be confusing at first, but my best advice is to just keep at it and eventually you will start to notice your own body's patterns.

Month/Cycle:5/6

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, CM/CP, OPKs, EOD

R/R: This work day needs to end so the weekend can begin!!!

CS/Q: No thanks

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment? This may be the first time I am completely stumped by one of these questions...

hqinmd · October 2016

@shstephenson that is so true about Disney movies! It's like they said, hey parents, we know you're stuck watching this five thousand times so hey, have a laugh

PurpleRains · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 11/11 ttcal

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: Final phases of RE testing, PNV, BBT, CM, Vitamin D, green tea, OPKs when it's time, HIO

R/R: Heard from my RE's office yesterday - hysteroscope is schedule for Tuesday. Hopefully that will show nothing major and we can move forward with an actual plan!

CS/Q: Nope!

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment? I had a student (I teach at a small, private college) bold-face lie to me about an assignment and it made me realize not all my students are fabulous, honest little people. Sometimes they give zero effs.

JuneRoseRuby · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/9

CD:11

WAYDTGKU: Everything, heading into FW this weekend so I'm excited for the waiting period to be over

R/R:In regards to all of the conversation on UO yesterday, I just wanted to say that I came to this group to feel connections with other people TTC because I felt like it was a pretty lonely thing to be going through, and I have found that in the people on this board. So, I do get what I need from this board. Thanks everyone!

CS/Q: Today should be the first day in my FW, TMI-I had a glob of CM in my FMU sample for my OPK, then my OPK tested with the sort of light line, but not really a positive line, which I feel like happens often for me when I start into FW. I'm sure the next few days will be negative until CD 16, then I usually turn positive. Anyone else have weird uncertain lines initially, then go negative before a positive? My temps don't indicate any signs of O yet, so I marked it as a negative on FF.

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment?
My mind was blown yesterday with the amount of people that thought this board was boring. I certainly find it entertaining.

KhRun17 · October 2016

@hqinmd - well, the thing is, both gave me negative in the morning. Then Wondfo I did in the afternoon and got a positive, then this morning both were positive... So negative for yesterday and positive for today you think?

WillRunForWine21 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: twiddling my thumbs waiting for AF to leave

R/R: DH was supposed to visit his dad for a golf weekend in Florida this weekend but work took over his life as it tends to do and he had to cancel on his dad, I feel bad for both of them as they were both looking forward to it and feel bad for myself because this will now mean he will work all weekend and then reschedule his weekend away. boooooooo

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment? this one is really hard! My aha moments often come when DH tells me the actual lyrics to songs, not the ones I fill in myself so I can sing along (Phoebe's "Hold me closer Tony Danza" comes to mind)

MrsN092714 · October 2016

c/M: 3/2AL

CD:17

WAYDTGKU: bbt, pnv, OPK, cm, lots of sex, going crazy

RR: OPKs are fucking with my head still. Hadn't a negative test around 1030 yesterday morning and a positive around 3. My son was awake for the hour surrounding my usual temp time but I think the one I did manage to get seems on par with my other pre O temps. It feels like O is never going to happen, although I do realize it's only day 17. I was really hoping to see a temp rise this morning. Rave: my son turns 1 tomorrow and I could cry. I can't believe how fast this year has flown by.

CS/Q: not today. We will see what happens over the weekend.

GTKY: I don't know, I haven't had a coffee yet, my brain isn't working.

will take some time later to respond to some of you ladies, bumping on my iPad is extreamly painful

doula-mama · October 2016

@NYTino24 hopefully your temp will go back up and this was just a fallback like @rainbowturtles

@purplg8r I find that even if I don't match other people, I usually get a similar number of days each month (unless I have a weird month where I ovulate really late). I don't know if that is typical, but it might help to try comparing your days to previous months?

Month/Cycle 1/1

CD: 22

WAYDTGKU: BBT/CM charting, PNV, herbs, green tea

R/R: One of each today: Rant - my chart is driving me crazy (see below), but Rave - DH gets home from his business trip tonight!

CS/Q: I'm still confused after the weird spike yesterday. I'm pretty sure that it was an unreliable temp because I'd been tossing and turning (I thought it was still night - how depressing when I realized it was morning). Today is more normal, but FF is still giving me CH (but my other app isn't). If I exclude yesterday, then FF says not yet. Thoughts? Did I O or is it just the one night throwing me off? I'm still getting watery/EWCM and my cervix is still barely reachable (I don't chart it regularly, but I know it isn't usually this high).

GTKY: Last aha moment - when I was lurking earlier in the week and read a more thorough thread on CP and things just clicked! I'd only ever checked it sporadically because the 'it feels like lips/nose' just didn't translate for me - but once it got described as a penis at various stages of excitement, it clicked!

alysapuggles · October 2016

Sorry all, this may be a post and ghost since I am still sick and am going to try to limit my computer time today. Will try to come back later if I can!

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 23

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPK, charting

R/R: Caught strep from DS and been miserable since Wednesday night. Ugh.

CS/Q: Ok, I need a chart stalk, please. I had a temp rise on CD21. If that continued as normal, they were going to say I O'd on CD20 which made sense. However I got sick and had a fever so yesterday's temp was way high b/c of that. The fever went away, but today's temp was way low. What is happening?? Did I O CD20 or not?? Is the sickness wreaking this much havoc on my temps for a couple days? Will I get CH at all because of this?? Link in my sig.

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment? I can't even remember right now.

darkrose88 · October 2016

@shstephenson Yes! I totally agree on the Disney movies! So much adult humor that went right over my head as a kid.

@Anna_1021 Sorry to hear work went so badly! At least you had YH to cuddle up with at the end of the day

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, DHA, HIO (during FW)

R/R: It is Friday! So excited for the weekend and a break from work!

CS/Q: For those of you who use FF, is it worth spending the money on the VIP version? I'm debating purchasing it, but not sure if the VIP features add that much to the app.

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment? I can't think of one at the moment. will edit later if I come up with something.

hartmich · October 2016

@khrun17 I'd put a positive both days. That's not uncommon! Especially because with the wondfos at least, your afternoon sample would have been more accurate than the morning.

@nytino24 Sorry for that confusing temp drop. I'd be beyond annoyed if I were you. Why do our bodies make this so complicated?!

5/5

13

Praying for O, peeing on OPKs like I can force the egg out.

Its Friday and I have the day off! However the bulk of my plans for today are going to the gym and cleaning the house, neither of which I want to do.

The only lame answer I have is when I watch Seinfeld and realize how much was over my head as a child. That actually happens a lot with older movies and shows.

doula-mama · October 2016

@darkrose88 Oh that's a good question about the VIP version of FF. I'm also using the free version and have wondered that many times. Hoping someone answers this!

wabash15 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: all things!

R/R: today is friday, I need a friday!

CS/Q: Nope, 3rd day of +OPK so if my trend holds true today will be O day... but I'll hang around for a few days to confirm!

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment? 2 weeks ago I got some test results on a patient that made all of the other wonky results I had been getting make sense.

@NYTino24 sorry no O yet!
@laurad75 your chart is not that ugly, I admire your dedication to temping!
@TinyTurtle Its usually recommended to wait 12 hours post BD to check CM as the semen can muck with your interpretation.
@purplg8r I hope the family time goes well. As for CM it all depends. I dont get all types... for me I usually get creamy and EWCM. I will occasionally get watery. So If its not right around O I typically have creamy and for a few days before O I will have EWCM. Everyone is different, many ladies here may not get EWCM or if they do only briefly on one day... It's mostly trying to figure out your patterns. FF has some reasonable descriptions that might help. Oh and if you use the search function a few months ago someone posted a link to a page with pics that some ladies found very helpful.
@khrun17 Way to HIO! and congrats on the +OPK!! I would mark yesterday as positive. your tests were negative in the morning because your surge didn't start till the afternoon (which is common) so even though you were neg in the AM, you were pos in the PM so that's what matters.
@rainbowturtles congrats on the CH!
@Anna_1021 I hope today is better for you
@hqinmd have fun picking out paint colors. DH and I are repainting our bedroom and kitchen, we have paint swatches on the walls and just have to pick!
@shstephenson if you get her we'd love to see pics! there is nothing wrong with trying to fill the void, there is plenty of love to go around
@ahrains fx that your hysteroscope goes well

bumpybump · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/4

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: PNVs for now

R/R: It's DH's last day at his current company. It's very bittersweet for him as he really did love working there. But on to new adventures and opportunities. He has a conference tomorrow so I don't get a "break" until Sunday. Then we're taking DD to the zoo Monday before he heads to his new job Tuesday.

CS/Q: None

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment?
We were eating at McDonalds (DH and I both don't like it but it's the only fast food in our town and DD loves it) and got DD a Happy Meal with Gogurt. She couldn't eat the Gogurt by sucking it out of the tube so I decided to try sticking a straw in it. She sucked it right down! No mess and so much easier. So we now use a straw in all Gogurt and have even had other families see us do that and try it themselves. They've even came over to tahank us for the idea. Along the same lines, I cut holes in yogurt lids and stick a straw in them. So much easier and less messy.

lund · October 2016

@NYTino24 OMG yes to hormonal ragey-ness. Of course its FW for me, so I have to pretend I don't want to rip DH's head off. I would've blown a gasket at your DH for waking you up!

@TinyTurtle that is an excellent question about CM....

@purplg8r I don't envy your stressful/awkward family situation this weekend! It's always nerve racking when two sets of completely different personalities have to interact. And, I generally hate people staying with us too.

@KhRun17 yay for well-timed BD! And yay to your ILs leaving soon!

@rainbowturtles GL in TWW!!!

@shstephenson yay new puppy!!! Can't wait to see pics!

_________________________

Month/Cycle: 3/4

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: all the things. And not-so-patiently waiting for O.

R/R: Like @NYTino24 I'm all hormonal & ragey. This FW has thrown some new "symptoms" at me, not all bad, but is pissing me off. The latest I've O'd is CD15-16, and as of now not a single OPK has shown the slightest hint of turning (and I test 2x per day). So, it looks like O may be later than what I've experienced in the past. My sex drive has increased more than normal, which is fine, but still no EWCM. Yes, I know, there's nothing abnormal about O moving around a bit, it's just annoying me.

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/69/8xyxe1s22km9.gif

And last night I was looking forward to BD (yay increased sex drive), but DH went into "oh this must be FW so I'll just try to finish as quickly as possible" mode. Neat.

CS/Q: no question, just praying to the OPK and EWCM gods.

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment? Definitely when DH and I realized that it was time to start TTC. We'd been putting it off for logical and responsible reasons, and then all of a sudden it was like "oh..... holy shit we can totally do this now." I may or may not have had debilitating anxiety for a couple days after this realization.

WillRunForWine21 · October 2016

@darkrose88 @Sailing_Mama TBH I had the 30 day free trial of VIP and then just paid for it on a CD1 where I just needed to feel like I was doing something proactive. I would google to see if you could get the free trial and see if you like the extras and if they are worth it to you. I love the gallery and extra analysis but do not use the community boards. because NO NEW FRIENDS, I have my board thank you very much.

saralee797-2 · October 2016

**lurking** @KhRun17 I would mark all the positives and I usually put the wondfo under OPK in FF and the CB in Monitor/Advanced OPK you'll see there is an option for "peak" there. FX for you!

RunRestRepeat · October 2016

@purplg8r GL with your families tonight/this weekend!
@rainbowturtles FX for you in TWW!
@shstephenson Yay for a puppy! And totally agree with you on Disney movies - that's my favorite part of watching them as an adult!
@JuneRoseRuby Right?! I honestly have no problem with how the board is organized - I think it's far from boring!

Month/Cycle: 2/3 + 1 NTNP

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: pnvs, bbt, charting, cm/cp, will start opks tomorrow, need to start hio (see rant)

R/R: DH and I typically have a pretty solid EOD pattern regardless of TTC, but he was diagnosed with a herniated disc in his back a few months ago. He had been feeling better, but this week has been rough for him. Which means no sex for me. Hopefully that changes tonight - heck, I'll even do all the work!

CS/Q: I'm starting OPKs tomorrow (wondfos) - I know lots of you suggest testing twice a day - are there recommended times? I'm thinking when I get up for work (between 7 - 7:30) and again when I get home (around 5:30). Thoughts? I'm trying to avoid testing at work if I can!

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment? Oy. This one is tough. I can't think of anything major that hasn't been said. I'll edit if I think of something!

Mrs_Jp · October 2016

CS/Q: nothing today

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment?

When I figured out Sound Hound worked on TV shows and CD/MP3 players!

@laurad75 Kudos to you for sticking it out and temping on the plane! I would have called it a lost cause for the day! (I don’t sleep well on planes)

@shstephenson I LOVE Disney movies for those reasons!

@khrun17 I think I would agree with @hartmich Positive on both days.

@Dilynne Thanks for the new “aha moment!”

@bumpybump I love your straw idea!

@LuND I love your R/R today! My H has pulled the “oh this must be FW so I’ll just try to finish as quickly as possible” stunt before too.

hqinmd · October 2016

@KhRun17 I would call it a positive if you got a positive on one of them in the afternoon. You could have caught the beginning of your surge with the wondfo yesterday.
@MrsN092714 happy birthday to your son!!
@darkrose88 I asked the same question yesterday. I think I'm going to buy it for a year and hope I jinx myself into getting KU this cycle.
@wabash15 FX for O today! We have had a paint swatch sitting in in our family room for like a year and done nothing with it. Sigh. Time to change that.
@bumpybump I am so stealing that straw hack OMG brilliant!
@RunRestRepeat hope your DH's back improves to withstand HIO

haylsbayls-2 · October 2016

@purplg8r mine and Hs families are the exact same! It is so stressful but in the end, I think everyone has a good time and enjoys spending time with their extended family

@hqinmd have with the paint colors! Sprucing up a home is always fun

WAYDTGKU: starting OPKs! PNV, CM, charting

R/R: It's friiiiiiiday! Oh and I have some creamy CM happening... let the FW begin!!

CS/Q: This may be a dumb question but I am starting OPKs this month and I drink a lot of water... like a lot! my FMU is almost clear. I'm worried this will affect my OPKs if it's too diluted. Anybody have any insight on this? I am not willing to give up my excellent hydration for a positive OPK

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment?
Ummm with the whole ponies aren't baby horses thing a couple weeks ago

ETA: R/R

@haylsbayls we've been in our home 3 years and done almost nothing so I'm so excited! As for the OPK question, I've seen some people who say that hydration doesn't make a difference. But the. There are some who never turn a positive at all. So hard to say. But i would think even with drinking a lot of water you'll probably get close to a positive though you may not get exactly there. I've had really clear positives two months and I'm trying to drink more water, so I guess I'll see soon.

@RunRestRepeat those times for using the OPK's should be good. I usually test once a day but I have a longer surge, for ladies with a shorter surge testing in the PM/afternoon is helpful since that is often when your surge starts. (Ala @khrun17 who had a neg OPK yesterday AM but positive in the PM) once you see how you do you may be able to cut it back to once a day. GL!
@haylsbayls if your urine is super dilute it may make it harder to turn a stick. I think several of the ladies here have recommended a 3-4 hour hold before testing, so maybe something to try if your not turning tests. I also drink a lot of water and have not had problems turning a test.

@haylsbayls, I've only been using OPK's for one cycle, but I drink at least a gallon of water every day- it had no trouble picking up my surge. I think you'll be fine as long as you're not chugging water right before bed.

I'm new to WTO- just came over from TWW. I won't technically have stats for a few days, AF is just starting, but I'll post them anyway. DH and I have been NTNP for a month, and officially ttc starting in November.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 28

WAYDTGKU: OPK's and temping- November will be our first real ttc cycle but I started temping and testing last month to get an idea of when I actually O.

R/R: Fri-Yay! I have no halloween plans

CS/Q: using FF and so far no questions. I also have pretty epic fallback rise it seems:

GTKY: When was the last time you had an aha / mind-blown moment? I honestly don't remember the last time I had my mind blown, if I think of it I'll edit.

@hqinmd oh I must have missed it! I did a search but couldn't find anything new on it. And LOL, not a bad idea to buy it and jinx myself.

@WillRunForWine21 good idea about finding a trial.

@darkrose88 and @Sailing_Mama, the one reason I really wanted the VIP version of FF is for the Charts Like Mine feature. After 12 cycles it isn't as fun as it used to be, but there is something very satisfying about comparing my chart to others, especially those who are KU. It totally feeds the BSC in TWW.

Month/Cycle: 10/12 (6AL)

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: Charting, a list of herbs as long as your arm, fertility acupuncture, CoQ10, PNV, EPO and green tea and Mucinex until O, RRL tea, Pre-Seed, extracting baby batter from OH whenever we are in the same zip code.

R/R: So freaking relieved it's Friday. OH does get to come home this weekend, so I don't have to drive 2 hours to get some for FW. However, I will most likely be doing that Tuesday night to ensure we have good timing. We got a good start on FWP last night, after I drove the 2 hours to get some, LOL.

CS/Q: Nope.

GTKY: The last mind-blowing revelation I had was recently when I got passed over for a promotion. The woman who got it is hip-deep in BS, and I totally dodged a bullet. Every once in a while I have to be reminded that the universe makes better career choices for me than I do...

@darkrose88 I think only one person replied to me anyway so it was worth asking again.
@Aurora1973 I keep meaning to ask, if you don't mind, why are you and DH apart so much? My H used to be gone 3 nights a week (or more) for work. For months. Got used to it after a while.
