@nimmle ok I've never watched PLL but I've definitely thought about it because it seems like a great guilty pleasure show to watch when DH isn't home.

Timing: -3,-2,-1,O
Typical LP Length: 14/15
Testing: Tomorrow...nervous already...BFN yesterday bc obviously it was too early and probs not KTFU but a girl can dream...
R/R:
Rant- WTF temp, so I woke up at 2 AM to go to the bathroom, I thought it was too early to temp so I just used the bathroom and back to bed. Woke up at 4 AM to DH's alarm, so I temped as normal and it was way high 97.98 so I thought it must be from getting up at 2 am, and didn't log it. Woke up at 6 AM to my alarm and it was 97.31, which I thought was weird because I hadn't been asleep for more than 1.5 hours and it dropped so much, but that's the temp I tracked so here we are...any advice on if I should change back to my 4 am temp is appreciated, although I probably should just throw out today's temp completely...
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure television show that you hate to love?
Greys Anatomy. I actually liked it for like the first 10 seasons. Now I literally just watch it because I feel like I've invested so much time that I can't give up now when it has to be (I mean it has to be) so close to the end of its run...I mean TBH when Christina left it was really no longer a show I enjoyed, it was just something I watched out of habit.
@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.
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?
@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.
Testing: Got a BFN yesterday, so I'm very anti-testing right now. I told MH this morning that I'm never taking another test, even if it means ending up on 'I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant.'
R/R: My couch is getting delivered right now! DH is dealing with it while I lay in bed because I was queasy this morning (and though it's bringing out my BSC, it's definitely due to the mass quantities of BBQ I ate like 30 minutes before falling asleep).
CS/Q: None
GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure television show that you hate to love?
I feel no guilt about any TV shows I love. I'm still angry they cancelled 'Pan Am'.
Me: 28 DH: 29 Married: 6/2016 TTC #1: 12/2016 Benched due to deployment- Off the bench 8/8/17!
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.

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... )
@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
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.
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.
@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 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!
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 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...)
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!
