WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT, CM, green tea, almost to typical FW so HIO EOD soon. OPKs soon too.
R/R: It's our five year anniversary so we are going to dinner without DD. Haven't done this forever as we don't have family nearby. Looking forward to it. My spotting finally stopped too.
CS/Q: None

WAYDTGKU: B complex, charting temps and CM, opks
R/R: First "free" weekend in months (i.e. no work outside the house at least), and I'm so excited to just spend time with my family.
CS/Q: Nah. Finally have some fertile CM but the second line on my OPK is basically invisible. Probably better that O seems a bit delayed this cycle since we haven't been HIO.
ETA: Oh wait, I thought of an actual question! I'm thinking of going to see a Napro provider (she is far away- 1.5 hours). Wondering if anyone else has looked into this?
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: Sex (see rant below though!) OPK's and vitamins.
R/R: So, DH has purchased the new 'Call of Duty' game. So has his best friend. They play online together. With head sets (he lives in a different town) So guess what they were doing? Yep, they were playing online until after midnight. He kept me awake with his loud talking/shouting and just general excitedness! I'm at work today. I wasn't inpressed. I was even less impressed as he said he was just going to "have a quick game" as he knew we needed to have sex last night, but he was too wrapped up in his game to even notice the time or that I was waiting for him in bed! I had to text him to tell him I was in bed trying to sleep! I pretended to be asleep when he got into bed as I was fuming and I was past wanting to have sex.
CS/Q: Nah.
@nikkiandchris Enjoy your "free" weekend! This is our first free weekend in long time too! So happy to have no plans for once.

CS/Q: Not a chart question, but a TTC Q. What are your thoughts on hot tubs? If your H went in one this weekend would you be freaking out?
@bumpybump I feel like we are the same person the last couple days. Post-AF spotting, and now the same girl crush?! I fell in love with her on Gossip Girl.
@nikkiandchris enjoy your 'free' weekend with your family !

@WillRunForWine21 Sorry your DH is sick!
@hezzer78 Isn't it great when you can have a "normal" weekend? My DH usually works Saturdays but took today off - it is awesome!
@Kiki75 Hey cycle buddy! I think I O'd on CD15 too... are we the same person?
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: pnvs, bbt, cm/cp, hio eod, stopped opks yesterday
R/R: DH took off today because we have a duathlon race this afternoon - it should be fun! It's a trail run/mountain bike race so I think we're going to have a blast. Hopefully we'll be able to take the dog hiking tomorrow - this weekend is supposed to be beautiful here!
CS/Q: Nope. Had another high temp today - if I put one in for tomorrow I'll get crosshairs. Looks like O was on CD15. Now I just have to hope Daylight Saving doesn't mess it up!

@LadyMoo. That's has always been a major fight in my house. I would cook dinner & he wouldn't come so I'd throw his in the trash. I've told him many times the strangers he plays with are more important than me.
@RunRestRepeat. Good luck on your race!!
CD: 23
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, temping, OPKs, completely cut out all caffeine, starting CoQ10 & making hubby take it too, EOD til O, preseed.
R/R: the Wine & Dine 10k went great today! We went slow because my bff is KU but we had great outfits & stopped for pics. The 3:15 wake up didn't seem to affect my temps at all. Gonna head to the bar to watch the Gator game then get ready for the half marathon tomorrow.
CS/Q: not really important but for the month/cycle above...if we started TTC on Aug 10, would Aug 1-31 count as month 1, then Sept 1 would be month 2 since it changed? Or would Aug 10-Sept 10 be month 1?

WAYDTGKU: Sexy times, temping, CM check, trying to eat healthier. Trying to get up and walk the dogs for a little exercise.
R/R: Do I REALLY need to cut back on caffeine? Because me without coffee is really unpleasant.
CS/Q: None right now.
Gilmore girls is great and speaks to me on all the levels...a couple of my favorite quotes.
@cosbyae
I would cut back depending on how much you usually drink. I was drinking a few cans of soda per day and I cut back to 1 soda or frappe before work (I did have a couple cheat days in there)

@cosbyae It's really a personal decision to cut back on caffeine. I did it after about 4 cycles and because I wasn't seeing a lot of cervical fluid in general. That being said, I did see a huge increase in EWCM this cycle. If you are just having one cup of coffee every day it shouldn't be a huge deal but I would make sure to drink extra water if you aren't quite ready to cut back yet

R/R: DS had gymnastics this morning and I think I really need to just pull him out. He only ever wants to jump on the trampoline and I am not paying $10/class for you to jump on a trampoline kid. We're heading to his little buddy's 2nd birthday party in a bit, then it's movie night for DH and I! I have been so super swamped with my MK biz that I feel like I've hardly seen DH lately. I actually just want this cycle to hurry up already so I can get on with blood work/testing and a plan.
CS/Q: Nothing to see yet
I love Kate Winslet. She's an amazing actress and seems like a genuine person.
@nikkiandchris have a great weekend!!!
@LadyMoo hope the novelty of the game wears off soon!!
@JulesDP I just read a statistic today that having a day of nothingness once a week lowers BP and chance of stroke so it sounds like doing nothing is doing something
@WillRunForWine21 hope YH feels better!
@hezzer78 enjoy the festival!
@Kiki75 I know it's hard not to but I wouldn't worry about it as long as your timing was good. It's normal for O day to fluctuate cycle to cycle
@Ohemgee hot tubs can affect the swimmers motility. When do you typically O? Looks like it's still early in your cycle, if you O a little later typically and if it wasn't for a long time and just sporadic then I wouldn't worry
@FLAshley enjoy the weather!
@RunRestRepeat sounds like a fun and active weekend!
@Buthayna what happens if you put in a high temp for tomorrow?
@purplg8r I usually stick to around the beginning of the month since it's less confusing for me but the month count is more for those who typically have longer cycles
@BertieMeetsGertie glad you're feeling better today
@cosbyae to each their own, most women do cut back in preparation as caffeine can be tough to cut back from but it really is a personal decision. Just like some women drink till it's pink but others choose not to drink during the TWW
@TravelingCouple enjoy movie night!

WAYDTGKU: waiting for AF to go
R/R: went to the gym this morning, grocery store, cleaned, now getting ready to go to church and dinner with DH. Got a "price check on isle 3" on the preseed today, embarrassing. I also bought preseed, hpts, and tampons. The cashier lady looked at me like I had three heads. Rant: I hate that preseed only has 9 applicators!!!

CS/Q: So, I've been taking OPKS really late at night due to working and if I didn't see it pop immediately I tossed it aside. well, this morning I noticed the one I took 2 days ago after work was almost positive! but yesterday's was so light! This morning's was slightly darker than yesterdays. I hope I O sooner than last cycle!

@bunthayna- anything weird about this morning? All I have to do is breathe through my mouth once to fudge up my temp. Maybe just an odd one out. With those + OPKs I’d be surprised if your temp didn’t go back up tomorrow
@WillRunForWine21 I love Jessica Alba..she seems like such a sweetheart.

My parents are coming in town tomorrow so I really should be cleaning my house but I'm so unmotivated. I was up late last night, H told me not to stay up because then I would be cranky today. Guess he was right. Rave: I have been working on a new website for my photography (why I was up late last night) and it's going to be awesome!! I'm hoping it will help drum up some business.
CS/Q: I want to start temping. Anyone have suggestions for a reliable thermometer?
