CS/Q:

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ?

nia23 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 23/5

Timing: -2

Testing: Not for a while still

R/R: last week was very busy, so I didn't post here. I'm a little sad our timing for our first TTC cycle wasnt better but we all have to start somewhere.

CS/Q: I sleep with my mouth open and I think it's been affecting my temps. Last night, for some reason, I think I slept with my mouth closed (or at least more than I usually do) and got my first post O temp where I think it should have been. Do you all see/experience something similar if you're a mouth breather when sleeping?

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ? I never go out for mani/pedis so I try to do that for myself at least once a month.

Peedy · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: -3,-2,-1,0,+1

Testing: I'm going to wait at least another week.

R/R: my temp is back up today!

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ? I got to acupuncture 2x a month.. and I'm going to the chiropractor weekly (trying to get my spine in great shape for carrying a baby). I also get a massage once a month.. so basically, I'm spending a fair amount of dough on self care.

JulesDP · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 27/10

Timing: -3,-2,-1,0

Testing: 12/1 if AF isn't here before then

R/R: The Sunday blues are already setting in. I feel like my 4 day weekend flew by! Work will be very busy for the next few weeks, so that's definitely adding to my anxiety.

CS/Q: --

GTKY: I'm definitely an introvert and try to set aside time to just be alone. It sounds silly, but I feel so much better after half an hour of walking around Target by myself, or being home alone and watching crappy TV.

@nia23 -2 is still great timing! I remember a poster in the grad thread from a month ago only had -3 timing! If you think that mouth breathing is affecting your temps, you may want to consider temping vaginally.

flinstone-2 · November 2016

@Peedy yay! glad to see your temp back up!!
@nia23 when i temp'd orally, my temps were all over the map. I switched on the start of a new cycle to vaginally and they have really given me more accurate readings, as well as a much prettier chart. If you're not too thrown off by the idea, I suggest it if you have to continue temping next month

I wash it before I use it again. It alleviates a lot of the second guessing if you have a wonky temp and wonder if it was due to breathing.

Month/Cycle: 1st month trying that I've actually Ovulated, been "trying" with an-O cycles since August

CD/DPO: FF switched my O date forward one day (ughhh) when I input more info so I used to be CD 15/5 but now looking like CD 15/4

Timing: depends.. either -3, -1, +1 or -4, -2, 0

Testing: Maybe Dec 3.

R/R: Have one more day in the weekend, kept thinking yesterday was Sunday!

CS/Q:Not quite positive what to do with FF CH right now. I had taken an early temp on CD 11 (4:30 instead of 6am) and if I use the 4:30 temp, it says I O'd on Wednesday CD11. If I use the 6am temp (I didn't get out of bed or even move) it says I O'd on Tuesday CD11. Any stalkers with advice?

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ? I exercise almost daily. It's my me time, whether it's running, walking or some boot camp type program.

Peedy · November 2016

@Flinstone hell yeah, congrats on O'ing!!

nia23 · November 2016

Thanks @JulesDP and @Flinstone for the advice and support! I haven't told anyone that DH and I are are TTC so having the advice of you ladies means a lot to me.

KhRun17 · November 2016

@Peedy - your self care routine sounds amazing!
@Flinstone - YAY for actually Oing! So excited for you!

Month/Cycle: 9/7

CD/DPO: 17/5

Timing: -4, -2, O

Testing: 12/5 (Day AF is due)

R/R: So yesterday I was letting my dog run in the backyard like usual, then I remembered I hadn't grabbed the mail in a few days so went up front to grab it. Our mailbox is on the other side of the street, so I usually just let my dog run free in the front yard while I cross to go grab it. Yesterday, when I turned around to cross the street from getting the mail I saw a car coming fast (faster than they should on our street) and my dog running straight towards me. He did end up getting hit, but is fine. He's a little bruised probably on his back left hip but thank God that's it. He's limping just a little but mostly using the sore leg. It was so scary! I saw it was about to happen and couldn't really do anything about it. The guy who hit him stopped to see if he was okay. I said he looked fine and thanks for stopping, then ran to tend to my dog. Poor little pooch.

CS/Q: Nada. Temps are finally back up to normal post-O temps with my dumb thermometer. Mabis is on the way to save the day!

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ? I used to be in a really good habit of seeing a chiropractor regularly, but since we've moved I haven't found a new one. I just got a recommendation from a coworker the other day, so hopefully I'll pick that back up as my best self care habit. And I think our insurance covers some of it, so it won't be as expensive as before (my chiro where we used to live had been working with a group, but then started her own company and couldn't take insurance yet, but I followed her because she was great. Which meant it was all out of pocket.)

Lmmtravels · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 23/4

Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0

Testing: not until AF is due

R/R: I'm feeling you on the Sunday blues, @JulesDP. I'm not feeling too sad about going back to work, more so about missing friends I don't live near anymore.

CS/Q: No thanks.

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ? Frequent exercise is definitely my self care. Going to either go to the gym or try to do a brisk walk today to help combat the blues.

flinstone-2 · November 2016

@immtravels yessss exercise definitely perks me up and helps me combat my generalized anxiety!
@KhRun17 @peedy thanks! haha so happy!

Lmmtravels · November 2016

@Flinstone glad you find positivity in exercise as well! Sorry I missed your post where you said that earlier. I'm on mobile so I end up missing a bunch. As far as the temp question, I had the exact same thing happen this week and ended up going with a later temp that was higher because it matched O symptoms better for the day FF gave me crosshairs. That may not help you at all, but figured I'd share.

@KhRun17 SO glad your dog is ok. That would be really scary.

Side note and question: I realized that some people tag me with an "i" at the beginning, but it should be an "l" as in "L"...do you think I should change my username?

BertieMeetsGertie · November 2016

@KhRun17 awe, poor dog!! I'm glad he made it through ok.
@Peedy totes jelly about your self care!

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 24/10

Timing: -4, -1

Testing: probably 12dpo

R/R: welp, back to work tomorrow. I really like my job so I don't mind!

CS/Q: stopped charting after O

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ?
My work has free yoga classes on Monday's and thursdays at lunchtime, so I do that when I have time.

Peedy · November 2016

@KhRun17 @BertieMeetsGertie ha thanks! My nails, hair and face are are bare and unkempt, but my spine alignment is on point!

Brooklyngirl6 · November 2016

@KhRun17 I am so glad your pup is okay. I would have been a mess. Even if she was fine.

Month/Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 25/5

Timing: -3, -1

Testing: Wednesday? But I'm not sure if I should get AF Wednesday or Friday.

R/R: DO NOT want to go back to work.

CS/Q: nothing- my chart is weird and I don't know if I should expect AF on weds or fri. I usually O on cd18 but I O'd cd20 this time. And my LP is usually 10 days but sometimes 8. So I guess we will see.

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ?

i go out with my friend once a month for drinks.

mrsegan13 · November 2016

@Flinstone, I think you Oed on Wednesday. The reason is because your temp jumped significantly. I always O 2 days after my OPK. FF can be discouraging. I believe it has my CH wrong as well this cycle. It usually self corrects. We'll see. You have me intrigued about temping vaginally. You just use a regular digital thermometer? @KhRun17, I'm glad your dog is okay!
@BertieMeetsGertie: free yoga at work? Lucky!

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 39 (see signature)/ I think 4DPO FF thinks 6DPO

Timing: Timing on my theory O, -1, -2, -4 Timing on FF theory +1, O, -2

Testing: Saturday or Sunday. It's hard to hold out!

R/R: Like everyone, I don't want my long weekend to be over.

CS/Q: I asked this yesterday but not sure anyone saw: do you guys notice a difference in your temps/coverline based on season and how cold it is in your house? Does temping vaginally change this??

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ?
I exercise (barre and yoga classes) 3-5 times a week.

juliebeannn · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/11

CD/DPO: 23/10

Timing: IUI on -1 and O

Testing: BFN on 9dpo (PM). Not testing again until 13dpo. I've got a minor retinal surgery that morning and would like to know before the surgery.

R/R: Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. The number of emails will probably be insane.

CS/Q: none

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ?
Crossfit is my day to day stress relief. I also get regular chiropractic treatment (mostly maintenance after a bulging disc earlier this year) and I have a massage therapist come to my house every other week (my indulgence).

dragonfly87-2 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: CD 21/ 8DPO

Timing: -4 and -1

Testing: December 1

R/R: I loved my massage yesterday, but woke up sooooo sore today. I should have drank more water.

CS/Q: no

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ?

Massages

I buy groupons or bundles and get one once a month. Averages to about $40 (after tip) for 60 minutes of bliss and relaxation.

daisymae6215 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 28/7

Timing: -5, -3, -1, O, +1

Testing: trying to wait till next Saturday

R/R: I ordered a Mabis on Amazon and it came yesterday but it was definitively a fake. Has this happened to anyone else?

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ? I love taking bubbles baths with a glass of wine and a good book. I try to do it once a week, but I haven't been doing it lately. I also like to knit at the end of my day just to unwind and relax.

jess0211 · November 2016

@JulesDP I am right there with you girl. The next few weeks at work are going to be so stressful, I am so anxious. And like you I am an introvert so one my self-care activities is just finding "quiet" time for me.

@Flinstone congratson Oing

@KhRun17 oh no! I am so sorry about your pup

I am so glad he is okay though! Scary!

@BertieMeetsGertie that's awesome that your work does that!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 26/7 or 9

/Timing: Great if 7 DPO and Ok if 9 DPO

Testing: not until after expected AF

R/R: Sorry I've been MIA ladies, we had company that just left this morning. Today is kind of a blah day. H has a migraine and I re injured an old hip injury yesterday so I'm down for the count. I had hip surgery three years ago and every now and then it acts up and I can't even walk. It sucks.

CS/Q: Nothing today.

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ?
My work has a gym in the building so I try to make myself take a lunch and go to the gym 3x a week.

dragonfly87-2 · November 2016

@daisymae6215: I love bubble baths! I recently discovered Dr. Teal's bubble baths and epsom salts. I buy the Soothe & Lavender bubble bath and the avocado epsom salt (moisturizes the skin). I can only tolerate about 10 minutes in the tub though before I start getting light headed.

@BertieMeetsGertie: do you work at Google?!?! Haha, j/k. I guess anytime someone says their work offers cool free things, I automatically think of Google (or at least it's portraying on the Internship). But that's really cool they offer free yoga!

nia23: Welcome! Sorry if you have been on for a while, first time I am noticing your post. I feel ya on the timing frustration. I think we hit -1, but not 100% sure. This was our first official cycle trying (NTNP last month) and DH had some performance issues since I stressed him by being like "OPK is positive, let's do it!!!!" Learned my lesson...going to be much more relaxed and subtle next month. FX though for this cycle!

juliebeannn · November 2016

@KhRun17 Omg. So sorry about your dog! That must've been so scary! I'm glad he's ok!

nia23 · November 2016

@baileygomez thanks! I've been lurking for a couple months and just started posting here and there in the past month or so. Fingers crossed for you - and I hear ya about the performance pressure. There's gotta be a happy medium!

JuneRoseRuby · November 2016

**lurking from WTO

@daisymae6215 i got a fake when I ordered my mabis too. It's top care brand but it works fine. I couldn't deal with the stress of complaining to Amazon

BertieMeetsGertie · November 2016

@mrsegan13 @baileygomez @jess0211 my work has a big initiative on wellbeing so they offer a bunch of things. I take advantage when I can!

@juliebeannn GL with your eye surgery!

wabash15 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/7

CD/DPO: 18/6

Timing: -5,-3,-1,0,1

Testing: 10dpo

R/R: not much, hopefully a quiet afternoon as most of my family left this morning. Back to work tomorrow...

CS/Q: nope... it is erie how close my temps are this cycle to the average of my past cycles

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ? Probably yoga, though I have not been very good about it lately

@Nia23 if you are always a mouth breather than it's probably not a big deal as your looking for the trend.

@khrun17 that is so scary I'm glad your pup is ok though!

@jess0211 I hope your hip feels better soon

@lmmtravels I'd leave your name

@juliebeannn hopefully it was just to early to test

jess0211 · November 2016

@Flinstone I think we are testing buddies! I am planning to test on 12/3 as well

dinosaur · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 21/7

Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1, 0(x2), +1

Testing: at 10 dpo

R/R: I had a temp drop today so fx!

CS/Q: None.

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ?

I get my eyebrows professionally done once in a while.

britvahok · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 26/10

Timing: -5, -4, -3,-1, O, +1

Testing: tomorrow

R/R: All week I've been planning to test this morning but yesterday I was so anxious and nervous about the thought of having to see more BFNs, I decided to wait. I wish I could wait until the end of the week when AF is due but my doctor will be calling with the results of bloodwork tomorrow and I want to test before she calls so if it's bad news I won't breakdown at work. It's weird because I'm usually a POAS addict but I'm terrified about testing this month.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ? Nothing really, I always say I'm going to go to the gym more for "me time" but I only make it about once or twice a week.

dragonfly87-2 · November 2016

@britvahok FX for testing tomorrow!

jess0211 · November 2016

@britvahok sending lots of positive thoughts your way for tomorrow!

juliebeannn · November 2016

@britvahok FX for you tomorrow!!!

mokay19 · November 2016

@mrsegan13 yes! I definitely have a difference in temperatures depending on the temperature of my house. Sometimes I clench my thermometer in my hand before turning it on and putting it in my mouth because the thermometer cools down my mouth so significantly when our house is cold.

flashley-2 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 27/10

Timing: It was great.

Testing: Not again

R/R: Not sure why I am posting here. AF isn't due to arrive for another 5 days and I had very little spotting this afternoon. On top of that we are having our first snow storm of the year. Yuck. It's blowing and gross out.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ?
I walk our dogs daily. I find it really clears my mind.

@JulesDP I really enjoy my alone time too.

@Flinstone Congrats on O !!

@KhRun17 Oh, your poor pup ! Glad he is okay and that the driver stopped to see that he was was okay !

@Immtravels Sorry I see your feeling down in the dumps today ! Treat yourself.

@Brooklyngirl6 When you get KU you will need a back up self care plan !

@jess0211 I hope your feeling better soon.

@britvahok FX for you !!!!!

dragonfly87-2 · November 2016

@FLAshley: I see you posted your chart in the CSQ, but no question. It's looking great, but were you meaning to ask one?

wabash15 · November 2016

@britvahok fx for tomorrow
@flashley don't count yourself out yet, yesterday was still early to test and your chart is pretty!

juliebeannn · November 2016

@FLAshley Sorry about your BFN yesterday, I had a BFN also. Your chart looks so pretty! Hopefully it's a good sign for you!!

vegetalienne · November 2016

@britvahok FX for you!
@jess0211 sorry about your hip, it sucks to be injured when you love working out.
@FLAshley oh man! a snow storm does sound pretty gross right now.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: -5 -3 -2 +1 (according to FF)

Testing: 12/1 aka 13 DPO ( I didn't even bring any pee sticks on my work trip! Such restraint! I did have a dream that I got 2 positive HPT last night though, ugh

)

R/R: Rant: I'm out of town for 3 nights preparing regional stores for a visit from our CEO. It's an exciting opportunity but I have to run around and travel again this weekend. I am feeling nervous about work and about testing on Thursday. Rave: the hotel my manager booked is really cute with lots of good shops within walking distance.

CS/Q: Ovagraph (the app suggested by TCOYF) thinks I O'd on CD 18 and give me CH for that day.

GTKY: What is something you do for self care ? How often do you try to do it ?
Window shopping! I love zoning out with a mindless TV show on Hulu and putting stuff in my virtual shopping cart. I have a shopping budget so if I have room then I will actually buy stuff here and there too.

flashley-2 · November 2016

@juliebeannn Sorry for the BFN. Hugs to you.
