Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 11

WTO - WAYDTGKU: OPK, temping, waiting

TWW - Timing:

TWW - Testing:

R/R: I've been having some terrible cramps but also have started having EWCM. I don't know if I'm going to ovulate or finally start breakthrough bleeding from stopping BC.

CS/Q: none

GTKY: do you get any magazine subscriptions? I've never been into magazines. When I skim through magazines I always go back to front. I'm weird,

ChloandCoco · June 2017

@notthefather - Are you getting anything on your OPKs?

Month/Cycle: 3/2 (1/1 AL)

CD: 14

WTO - WAYDTGKU: PNV right now, preseed and OPKs in a couple of weeks.

R/R: I'm not too optimistic about this cycle, so I just want AF to get here in the next couple of weeks so we can start fresh.

CS/Q: Nothing at the moment.

GTKY: do you get any magazine subscriptions? Not yet, but I'm going to subscribe to Ricardo, which is a Canadian cooking magazine.

notthefather · June 2017

@ChloandCoco: The last two days my morning tests have been light and my afternoon tests have been dark but negative.

kindbytealikat · June 2017

@notthefather I do the same thing with magazine. I usually read the first 5 pages or so and then I flip to the back and move to the front.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 17/6

WTO - WAYDTGKU: PNV(When I remember), Temping, the obvious

TWW - Timing: -2, 0

TWW - 28th or 29th when back to town. I'd like to do 14 DPO but I will bout OOT so that won't work. Until then I will be symptom picking...***TW*** The day FF says I O'd makes sense because the day I thought I felt myself O I had a temp shift. I'm wondering now if it was an implantation cramp, I had that with DS. Who knows. Mainly just thinking about it because FF gave me CH's this morning and I feel lousy today.

R/R: Nope

CS/Q: Not really

GTKY: do you get any magazine subscriptions? I currently subscribe to Parents magazine. I am thinking about getting a subscription to Pioneer Woman but I need a couple issues out first to see if I'll like it. I'm thinking of getting a nature magazine for my son though.

kindbytealikat · June 2017

Well FF changed my CH's this morning.

so now my timing is just O day, nothing before or after. That also will make DPO June 30TH.

notthefather · June 2017

Boo! I'm so sorry @kindbytealikat that's frustrating

dreamscapes_ · June 2017

CS/Q: Apparently I may have O'd early this month? I had quite a bit of EWCM a few days ago, but have had negative OPKs. Anyone have any idea?

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6a6564

GTKY: do you get any magazine subscriptions? I had a free subscription to Better Homes and Gardens, and have had a subscription to Taste of Home for a while, thanks to my mom. Not sure if I'll continue them, since I've got a bin full of them that I need to go through and pull out the things I actually want to keep.

kindbytealikat · June 2017

@dreamscapes_ no advice since I've never used OPKs but I'm jealous at how consistent your temps are. Mine are all over that place even though they are all within an hour of eachother

JennyColada · June 2017

@dreamscapes_ are you thinking that you maybe O'd on CH8? FF needs a .5 degree jump to recognize it for CHs I think, so that could be why it's not putting it there, but most women don't get EWCM after they O (sometimes the next day, but I think not usually 3 days later.

tl;dr: idk what's going on :P

dreamscapes_ · June 2017

@kindbytealikat I honestly didn't know they were consistent! I see the little open circles and think I'm doing something wrong, lol. I'm sorry yours are all over the place!

@JennyColada The EWCM was on CD11, which I think was when I O'd. That was Friday. It was just kind of a weird one, and I wasn't expecting to O until, like, today, so I hadn't been testing. I'm not using any more tests this month, given the circumstances. The crosshairs didn't show up until this morning, when I put my temp in for today. Also, it makes me sad to only see one BD on my chart >.<

dreamscapes_ · June 2017

"Weird one" meaning it was a strange combination of what I would call "creamy" and EWCM. The app says to mark it as the most fertile type you see, so that's what I put, since that was definitely there as well.

glitzandglitter · June 2017

@dreamscapes_ I used to have taste of home - I loved it!
GTKY: I have a subscription to better homes and gardens (it was free) other than that I don't have any. I have a subscription for the boys for Nat. Get. Little Kids which is cute. I would love a subscription to People magazine but it is waaaaay too expensive and I would never be able to keep up with reading all the magazines since they come weekly.

dreamscapes_ · June 2017

@glitzandglitter I really enjoy Taste of Home, because they're usually all recipes that can be made by the average cook and not just someone who does it professionally. Did you get your BH&G subscription from Walmart? We bought our living room window dressings there, and the curtain rod came with a card for a free subscription to them, lol.

glitzandglitter · June 2017

@dreamscapes_ Yes! It was walmart

That is exactly why I liked taste of home - the receipes were doable for anyone and realistic.

ChloandCoco · June 2017

@dreamscapes_ - What time of day were you taking the OPKs? Some women have smaller surges, so when they think they are getting closer to O they start taking a couple of tests a day (around noon and again around dinner time).

dreamscapes_ · June 2017

@ChloandCoco I usually do them in the afternoon, because I'd read that it was best to do them during that period. I also only did one a day this cycle because I'm trying a different type of test and they're just too expensive. I do know there's a possibility I have PCOS, and apparently OPKs don't always work for women with PCOS. I was told I have it when I was 17, but my current PCP thinks that may have been a misdiagnosis, since the original doctor did absolutely zero testing and diagnosed it based on irregular periods and that alone. To be honest, this is part of why I started tracking now instead of waiting until we're actively TTC. So I can work out any problematic areas and pay attention to them, lol.

ChloandCoco · June 2017

@dreamscapes_ - Ah, that makes sense. And it's a good idea figure out what's happening before you start to TTC.

notthefather · June 2017

@dreamscapes_ : What happens if you put in your negative OPK tests on your chart?

ETA: Is that what "Mon" is?? I'm unsure. Either way, is try putting in every test. I'm not convinced you ovulated.

dreamscapes_ · June 2017

@ChloandCoco I'm looking at it as a good way to utilize the time I have to wait, lol.

@notthefather They're in there! I was using the ClearBlue Advanced OPKs, which have possible results of Low, High, and Peak.

JennyColada · June 2017

@dreamscap_ the first time you use the CB OPKs they will be low, regardless of what the "actual" result is. Is it possible that maybe you just started testing too close to your peak and thus the low result?

dreamscapes_ · June 2017

@JennyColada Maybe! It's entirely possible, since FF had originally predicted I'd be ovulating within the last day or today. I'll try again next month and go from there

Not a super big deal, just something I'm curious about, lol.

ChloandCoco · June 2017

Well, here's a quick update! My levels are down to 193, but I've decided to wait until my next cycle to make sure everything is back to normal.

JennyColada · June 2017

Well I guess I should actually fill this out now that I'm done sulking.

Month/Cycle:

CD/DPO: 28/13

TWW - Timing: -3, -2 0

TWW - Testing: If AF doesn't show then I may try again on Wednesday. Temps were still high today!

R/R: Rant: My least favorite coworker was on leave for the last 6 weeks and it was GLORIOUS. He's back today and it took of all 10 minutes before I was annoyed at him and wishing that he would leave again.

CS/Q:

GTKY: do you get any magazine subscriptions? We actually get a ton because I cashed in some frequent flyer points that were going to expire so they were "free". We get Wine Spectator, Food and Wine, Sunset, and Saveur. Basically lots of food related stuff, haha. MH is really the one who reads them though, then he just pokes me to look at an interesting article here and there.

notthefather · June 2017

@JennyColada: Stalking your chart and your high temps are such a mindf*ck!

JennyColada · June 2017

@notthefather I KNOW. Like 1 can I go back to 97 now because I'm hot

2 can you like stop giving me BFP symptoms if you're not gonna give me a BFP.

ChloandCoco · June 2017

@JennyColada - Did you test again today? It's a good sign that your temps are still really high.

JennyColada · June 2017

@ChloandCoco I thought about it, but (thankfully) I'm not feeling super BSC, which makes it easier to wait. But I was considering testing tomorrow because that's 15 DPO and would stand to reason that AF should come today or tomorrow anyway (if it does?) or I'd get an obvious BFP (if it is). I'm not really getting PMS cramping or anything though (which I usually get 1-2 days before CD1).

JNCPro3130 · June 2017

@jennycolada, if you test tomorrow, try to use FMU. Here's hoping for a BFP!!

ChloandCoco · June 2017

@JennyColada - I agree with JNCPro3130, try to use FMU and good luck!!

JennyColada · June 2017

You ladies are so adorable. I 4ever you all. I love that we've all become each other's cheerleaders.

My hormones (either preg-related or PMS related) are making me super sappy (I almost cried I was so touched by MH whipping me up a salad dressing for my salad when the take-out place forgot to include the dressing in our order). Creepy internet hugs to @JNCPro3130 and @ChloandCoco.

kindbytealikat · June 2017

awww @JennyColada that's so cute.i really hope you get ur BFPsoon. Ignore poor typing I'm mobile

glitzandglitter · June 2017

@JennyColada - I have all the fingers crossed for you!!!

JennyColada · June 2017

Also I've been a terrible friend because I was so sour this weekend. So here is some much deserved tagging/comments:

@notthefather I'm still so excited for you on this cycle 1! Have you not had any withdraw bleeding yet?!

@ChloandCoco I feel you on that. TTC just has so much WAITING. UGH. Between WTO, TWW, and then just waiting for a new cycle 98% of our days are just waiting for the next day.

@kindbytealikat I love Pioneer Woman's recipes! Yum!

notthefather · June 2017

Needing some time does not make you a terrible friend @JennyColada! Nope, no bleeding. I didn't have any last time either so I'm actually not surprised. I assumed you tested every day because that's what I would do. Ha! I'm keeping everything crossed for you for a BFP tomorrow!

JennyColada · June 2017

@notthefather if I had internet cheapies then that would totally be me! The only way to hold myself back is 1 order on Amazon (so that I tell myself I "can't" just buy them on the drive home) 2 get the FRERs which aren't cheap enough to "waste" 6 of them in 1 cycle! And I only have 1 left in my box. :P

notthefather · June 2017

That's right. I do remember that now. That's probably a smart decision.

notthefather · June 2017

For @JennyColada this morning

JennyColada · June 2017

Still a no! Not surprising considering my temp drop today though.

glitzandglitter · June 2017

@JennyColada - I'm sorry

JennyColada · June 2017

It's ok, next cycle!

On the plus side, an EDD in March would still allow me one more bonus (paid end of February) at work. So karma is just looking out for my finances.
