GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure television show that you hate to love?

Re: TWW Monday 8/28

  • Loading the player...
  • @bjkay22 I used to watch Grey's Anatomy every week. At some point I just stopped watching it. Definitely a great show but it was hard to keep up after awhile.
  • Month/Cycle: 2/1

    CD/DPO: 43/17

    Timing: -2,-1

    Typical LP Length: Omg, will it ever end?

    Testing: Yesterday was a BFN...so now i'm waiting till Wed if AF doesn't come sooner. If it's still negative (which i'm sure it's going to be) i'm going to call to see if they can order some labs to see what's going on. The nurses are quite familiar with me, and my long cycles. I've got that warm Progesterone flush though (I only experienced it will Provera), so hopefully I truly did ovulate and this isn't some anovulatory freak show *sorry for the testing rant!)

    R/R: So tired of this cycle. At this point i'm not even sure what to think. I know I must have O'd later than i thought, but all the signs don't add up. FF's date or the day after make the most sense to me, but who really knows...Maybe I should add OPKs to my regimen next cycle, but with my long cycles it would cost me a fortune!

    (Rave)- My DH bought me the most beautiful simple stud earrings for our anniversary today (it's our 10th). Just a sterling silver set with opals in the middle. He's also been so good to me through this entire testing period during my cycle. It's been a tough one for us both honestly. Oh well...it's hopefully almost over.

    CS/Q: Nope. It's a hot mess

    GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure television show that you hate to love?

    Gossip Girl, America's Next Top Model, and Teen Mom

    @nimmle Yes! Indent lines are the pits! I see them most of the time on FR

    @bjkay22 If you didn't get out of bed at the 4am wakeup, then I would keep the 6am temp since you didn't really move around much from 2am-6am...and the 4am temp wouldn't have given your body enough time to settle from 2am. Make sense?

    Oh god, all the 16 and Pregnant/Teen Mom stuff

  • @josie12367 that was my logic behind keeping the lower 6 AM temp, I think this is the second time you've coached me on temping. Thanks for all your advice. Sorry about the long cycle, once your brain believes you are out, all you want is for AF to come and go so you can get back to it. Sending you creepy internet stranger hugs. 
  • Good morning guys!  I'm learning a lot about temping just by reading your posts, so thank-you!  I went off BCP last December because I had been on it since I was in high school and wanted to give my body plenty of time to see what it's rhythm was (if it even had one.)  I started taking it at 16 never having had a "true" AF, just some randomly timed spotting.  Thank goodness it has come on its own, but it will have a couple months of a 32 day cycle and then a 28... then a couple 32 and then a 35... etc.  I think it will be good to temp for that reason, even though I think my tracker app WAS correct this month because of my CM and then some ovulation spotting.

    Aaaand guilty pleasure TV is my JAM... I get home from work about an hour before DH so I love to use a show to unwind before he gets there and the dinner/dishes/working on the house party begins.  @nimmle, my sister loves PLL and I've never gone there, maybe I should!  DH and I are currently at the beginning of season 6 with GOT so I should have a "side show" because he may kill me if I watch any more without him.  @josie12367 and @kiwi2628, LOVED teen mom for so long and then we got rid of cable... :'( womp womp.

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 25/7

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

    Typical LP Length: 14ish

    Testing: I'm not allowed to buy any more until next weekend because I'm irrational.  

    R/R: Two little rants... 1. Team that was supposed to be here at 9 to demo upstairs some more to address all the water damage casually informed DH at 7 that they weren't coming until tomorrow... school starts for me Wednesday so I have my end of summer cranky pants on, especially, since the weather has cooled to low 70s also, and I took the opportunity to get even more grouchy having to change my plans to go into school to set up my room to tomorrow.  2.  I AM BREAKING OUT SO BADLY.  This month is awful.  There's a new friend on my face a day.  I feel like I'm 16... my skin went back to its natural (shitty) state within a couple of months of stopping BCP but this is taking the cake.  Ugh.

    CS/Q: 

    GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure television show that you hate to love? Too many... but the Bachelor franchise shows always get me.  Not necessarily because I think they cause lasting love, but I have fun with a rolling text commentary my work bff and I have judging the crazies.  (That's bad, I know...  :D)

    @bjkay22 I'm currently in season 5 of a greys anatomy binge because of the Shonda news. I believe this upcoming season will be our last of greys which pisses me off because I've invested so much time watching bad episodes/seasons of this show on the off chance it redeems itself. FWIW the first season is still GOLD, the second and third are fine, by four it's clear the show was on the rocks.... five is tough lol I'm not sure how I'm going to make it to 14.
  • Hahaha @doxiemoxie212 Ive had a lot of mini debates with myself about the merits of the show. Honestly I don't really care about any of the current drama other than like 1 couple that I want to reconnect and honestly I want to see what happens with Alex(just in general because I love him) I won't get more specific than that online just in case I'm spoiling anything. I did a rewatch last summer and honestly it's all I remember about my summer because it took FOREVER. Do you watch other Shonda shows, I've never been able to get into the others.
  • @bjkay22 I think the time frame for spoilers on greys has expired but lol ok:

    I don't know who we're supposed to care about in the current season? Everyone is so new and I basically know nothing about them. Did you see they're for sure bringing Teddy back tho? And Abigail Spencer is joining.

    Lol the first season of Scandal was legit good if you gave it a few episodes to get into its groove but then GARBAGE! "White hat, stand in the light with me, sexy  rapey rapey president." Too much. I actually sort of liked The Catch but that got cancelled. Couldn't watch the murder show because that's just not how law school or the law work at all. Too distracting and weird. Lol
  • @doxiemoxie212

    So I really hope I'm doing my first spoiler correctly hahah. Yeah I'm not thrilled about Teddy coming back, definitely feels like they are grasping at straws. Wtf is Spencer going to do!? Ugh. Honestly I'm tired of Hunt feeling guilty for literally everything (and you know with this whole sister plot
    line he will be doing that). I'm just here to support Karev (not with Jo, don't really care for her). Also I want to see April and Jackson reconcile and then they can end the show. I might try to watch the first few episodes of Scandal again and see how I feel based off of your recommendation!

    GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure television show that you hate to love?
    Dance Moms.... so embarrassing to even admit...it's so terrible...but I can't stop.


    @ccvslp your BCP story sounds very similar to mine... I began temping immediately after stopping BCP back in September and I really found that it helped me to understand what was going on. Although for the first little while I would have very high temps, and my CM would not align with temps at all (but since reading a book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler, I learned that this was completely normal after coming off hormonal contraceptive).  I highly recommend this book if you are just starting out on your temping journey...it is amazing.  I lent mine to a friend once and she carried it around with her everywhere - she ended up buying me a brand new copy because she had used mine so often LOL.  You can get it on Amazon if it's not in your local brick and mortar.

    @jsnakehole I hear ya!! Indigestion all night last night and I was like OMFG (SS alert!!) definitely didn't have 4 cookies and 3 pieces of pizza yesterday.........

    ETA: got the book title wrong...#fail...it's fixed now.

  • @bjkay22  I agree the 6AM is more accurate than the 4AM but probably neither are great as you were asleep for less than the recommended time (which is of course alluding me now, is it 3 or 4 hours?) - best bet is to record the temp but put a big fat question mark on the day and carry on tomorrow.

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 29/16 ( I don't even know anymore and am second guessing everything)

    Timing: Well I thought it was -4, -3, -2, -1, O...but, I haven't had a cycle this long since I had Mirena removed back in May....so I don't even know what is right anymore. 

    Typical LP Length: see above. no effing clue. 

    Testing: so. many. b. f. n. I don't even want to know how many times I have tested....I give up. 

    R/R: Long rant. This cycle is a total mind f***.....had spotting on Saturday...nothing since. Serious period cramps yesterday, but still no AF. I used to think I had a short cycle (25 days), but now I don't even know. Did I even ovulate!? I had ovulation symptoms, EWCM on CD 10-12. I'm losing my mind and just want to start a new cycle. Sorry, I am a total newb and super confused by my body. No raves because I am just plain cranky. 

    CS/Q: stopped temping after what I thought was O. I also have been waking up 5 or 6 times during the night the last few days....so those temps are meaningless. 

    GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure television show that you hate to love?

    @nimmle PLL for sure! I also watch Grey's, HTGAWM, Scandal, and Vampire Diaries. I'm a sucker for network TV. 

  • Thanks for the suggestion, @canucklehead123!  I will have to look into it.  My UPS guy can't have a day off this week, after all.  #amazonproblems
  • @kperrucci Man, we are cycle twins fo' sho'. I am just as freaking stumped about mine as you are about yours. Do you have your pre-O chart, and the three higher temps post O to look at? Try temping tomorrow to see where you're at. Maybe we can compare that temp to your coverline? I'm seeing so many BFNs too. Like i've peed on everything it feels like....lol. Trying to keep my 'ish together till Wednesday. One day at a time my friend! One day at a time...

  • @josie12367 I'm seriously going to lose my mind, but I feel better knowing I'm not alone. I wasn't kidding when I said my chart was a hot mess, I definitely was not consistent with the time of morning that I took my temp and since I was on vacation in a different time zone my sleep schedule was even more screwy, but here you go. 
    I stopped temping on August 12. But, based FW off CM and OPK, since I am pretty sure my temps were just terrible. I will post in chart stalk thread and tag you, not sure if TWW thread is the right place for this and I apologize in advance. 




  • @kperrucci See my comments in the chart stalk thread!

  • @kperrucci Just took a peek over there, and I agree with all that was discussed. I think we both just o'd later than we thought. Only time will tell at this point!

    Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 28/12

    Timing: -1,-3,-4

    Typical LP Length: No Idea

    Testing: BFN on a cheapie yesterday. Bad dye run on my test the day before that. Didn't test today. AF is due tomorrow. If she's not here by morning I'm testing with my digital 

    R/R: Since school started back up I haven't had time to "play" on here. Waaaah!

    CS/Q:

    GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure television show that you hate to love? Gilmore Girls. There are sooooo many episodes on Netflix! I started watching it from the beginning months ago when I heard they were doing a reunion. Thought I could catch up real quick before I watched the new one. Yea like 6 months and 6 seasons later I don't see the end in site lol. DH hates it too.

  • @margorita30 I am 100% not guilty about loving gilmore girls. Best show ever :)
  • @margorita30 FX for you!  I don't want to test until at least Saturday and I feel like the time is just dragging.  (She said after ordering Wondfos that we all know she will pee on every damn day...)
  • @ccvslp i peed on probably 10 wondfos in the last 6 days
  • Month/Cycle: 20/16

    CD/DPO: 19/11

    Timing: Nope

    Typical LP Length: 16

    Testing: Nope

    R/R: Rave: Sorry that I've kind of been away for a couple weeks, I've finally managed to get an offer accepted for a house and we're in the process of getting to closing. So excited.

    Rant: My cycle has been so weird. It's my first unmedicated cycle for some time, and I honestly went into it expecting nothing. I don't ovulate on my own but there was the hope that since my body had ovulated with medicine that maybe it had figured it out and could do it alone. I decided to continue monitoring my temperature because it does me some good to have the information later, though not always in the moment. I had a temp spike CD 8, only 2 days after AF ended. And my breasts ached like they have when I o. So I'm kind of shocked and annoyed because of course our timing was terrible, I had no warning!

    CS/Q:

    GTKY: Hm. Gray's Anatomy. My husband scoffs and it's way more soap-opera-drama-y then I'm usually into. But I really enjoy it. XD

    Me 28 Him 28
    TTC #1 since January 1st 2016
