WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, OPKs, PNVs, CoQ10, B6, B12, vitamin D, green tea, avoiding soy. Pelvic MRI in December, boo.
R/R: I had this whole plan to do EOD from the first day I saw EWCM until 2 days after temp spike (or longer with EWCM continuing) but then with the holiday, we didn't even get close. I think yesterday was O day and if so, our timing will be -5, -2, and +1. I feel out already
CS/Q: Meh. Didn't temp consistently over the holiday or do twice-per-day OPKs. I think yesterday was O day because I had my severe left side pain, a frankly disgusting amount of EWCM, and a near-positive OPK last night when we got home. My temp this morning was in a gray area -- 97.2 over my usual coverline of 97.1. Sigh.
GTKY: Tough question. I really loved this poem when I discovered it in college: https://hrsbstaff.ednet.ns.ca/smileymi/Michael's PDF Poetry/Highway Michigan.pdf
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, CP, OPK, PNV, CoQ10, B complex, magnesium, PreSeed, DTD EOD
R/R: So confused. Had a blazing positive OPK yesterday afternoon around 3 and now it's negative again without a temp rise. I was pretty sure O would happen last night, but we will keep HIO. I'm kinda happy O didn't happen yet since DH couldn't finish this morning before work. I knew he would drink too much! We will try again tomorrow. Just keep temping! Just keep temping!
CS/Q: It's just gonna show that I haven't O yet!

WAYDTGKU: This part always makes me feel like a broken record
R/R: DH went home last night but at least we were able to sneak away and HIO once more before he did.
Also, still working on my damn continuing education credits. I'm about 2/3 of the way done with my current 10 credit class and then have to do 9 more. Maybe next time I won't procrastinate quite so bad...
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: I'm not sure why, but ever since the first time I heard it, I loved "A Poison Tree" by William Blake.

@NYTino24 Maybe it's a slow rise instead...? Hopefully it was just a false surge and you'll pick up the actual one soon!

@lulu1180 Thanks, though we have had such better timing and got nothing so it's hard to feel optimistic. I have always liked your poem too.

R/R: Going to my H 10 year HS reunion tonight. That will be....fun. I guess. Luckily my period is basically gone so we finally get to bang. TMI- Our sex drives are really high, so with the exception of my period or a business trip, we rarely go more than 48 hours without having sex, and its been like 3 days and I am DYING

GTKY: What is your favorite poem? Feel free to share an excerpt
Its A.A. Milne (author of Winnie the Pooh). Its the first poem I knew as a child and I still love it even though its small and silly and dumb
Wherever I am, there's always Pooh
There's always Pooh and me
Whatever I do, he wants to do
'Where are you going today?' says Pooh
'Well that's very odd, cuz I was too!'
'Let's go together', said Pooh, said he
'Let's go together', said Pooh
@adirat -2 is a great number! You are most definitely not out

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, temping, OPKs, CoQ10, cutting out alcohol
R/R: I ran a half on Thursday and I'm still really sore. And I have another half on Sunday. This time last year it would have been a breeze but I'm actually worried about Sunday. It's because I haven't trained at my own pace at all. And onThirsfay I ran at my own pace. **TW. On Sunday, we'll be going slower because I'll be running with my KU bff (which is the pace I've been training at) so hopefully it'll be ok **TW end. We head over to the race at noon to go to the Expo so we'll spend the night there.
Oh! And I finished Gilmore Girls last night. I think I liked it but I don't really like who Rory's become and I feel like the ending did make sense but it was still a cliffhanger instead of wrapping everything up nicely. And there's a TW in it.

R/R: I'm sorry for not posting much lately. We've had a lot going on and I've been stalking but just not posting. I'm really trying not to stress about all of this but it has been difficult, especially since I would have a 1 month old if I wouldn't have had a miscarriage in March. on top of that, my husband's cousin told him that his wife is pregnant. They have 4 kids (the youngest is 5) and she had her tubes tied and then reversed but was still told they couldn't get pregnant. The news devastated me, honestly. I try to be happy with people but it's so hard. No one really knows that we are struggling to get pregnant because they all feel that we should be done, but I know there is room for 1 more and I don't feel that our family is complete yet. I'm crossing my fingers for this month, it would make a wonderful holiday for us.
CS/Q: see chart below. I've been ovulating late the past few months, except for last month where it seemed I didn't ovulate. Do you think the big W on my chart means a win this month....Hahaha just playing but it is kind of funny!

GTKY: What is your favorite poem? Feel free to share an excerpt
Desiderata by Max Erhmann; sharing the whole thing because I need it today
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence.As far as possible without surrenderbe on good terms with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to others,even the dull and the ignorant;they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons,they are vexations to the spirit.If you compare yourself with others,you may become vain and bitter;for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble;it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.Exercise caution in your business affairs;for the world is full of trickery.But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;many persons strive for high ideals;and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself.Especially, do not feign affection.Neither be cynical about love;for in the face of all aridity and disenchantmentit is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years,gracefully surrendering the things of youth.Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe,no less than the trees and the stars;you have a right to be here.And whether or not it is clear to you,no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God,whatever you conceive Him to be,and whatever your labors and aspirations,in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.Be cheerful.Strive to be happy.

@NYTino24 when in doubt, HIO!
@kiwi2628 have fun at your reunion.
@ChefRamsay sounds like a great evening.
@Hopefulmommy1980 I wake up st different times too but decided to try charting anyway and I have been randomly waking up around the same time so I just temp then. Sometimes I go back to sleep after.
@busymommy23 I feel similarly about the holidays and the lo's that I would love to be holding. Creepy internet hugs to you.

WAYDTGKU: all the things
R/R: I ordered a big sis shirt for DD yesterday because it was on Black Friday clearance... I already had one in a smaller size that I had to donate because she outgrew it before she could wear it. I don't know why I did it and I feel like it's going to show up when af is due.
CS/Q: this is my first time posting a chart so hopefully I did it right and this is my first month temping. I think I Oed yesterday? We also went out drinking last night so I know this big spike could also be from alcohol. My other high open circle days were drinking days too. I guess I'll see what happens tomorrow.

WAYDTGKU: HIO ED (that's the plan anyway...), green tea, going to give preseed a try (just bought some!), and OPKs if I ever get those ordered.
R/R: DH and I got our living room decorated for Christmas and it is beautiful!! We still want to do something with lights out front that is simple/classy/easy but not sure what that will be
CS/Q: are wondfo OPKs any good?
GTKY: What is your favorite poem? Feel free to share an excerpt
Oh gosh, I loved studying poetry in college but I'm drawing a complete blank! I know I liked Keats but can't think of any poems in particular. I should dig out my poetry books!
@lee^2 I use the Wondfo OPKs and like them a lot. Work well, straightforward to use, and so cheap. Someone posted a while back about knockoffs that are ineffective being sold online, so you may want to make sure they're Wondfos. I got mine on Amazon. (Sorry I can't remember who had this issue to tag her...)
