Re: WTO/TWW Week of August 27
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: CD 8
WTO - WAYDTGKU: HIO, OPK, PNV
TWW - Timing:
TWW - Testing:
R/R: Had a great visit from DH's cousin, actually stayed up to watch the fight last night and I am so exhausted. Don't know if I will be able to stay up for all of GoT!
CS/Q: Not sure what to expect this cycle after everything that happened last cycle. Hoping it's about the same as usual.
GTKY: With labor day fast approaching...What is your favorite thing about fall? I actually do like pumpkin flavor (even though it's a bit overdone at this point) and also boots season.Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 6
WTO - WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs starting in 2 days (or tomorrow, haven't fully decided), all the teas, all the vitamins
R/R: DSS came home with a cold, which is no surprise because his mum doesn't GAF and apparently hasn't made him wear his jacket when it's been cold out the past week. But, she told him it's allergies, so he's been taking allergy meds which obviously has not helped him get better at all. I hate to send him to my parents' house when he's sick, because my mum doesn't need those extra germs. So it double-y pisses me off. She's the biggest idiot I've ever met.
CS/Q: Not much to see ATM. Finally took my temp this morning, and I'll start being more vigilant again at least until O is confirmed. Not sure if I'll temp during the TWW or not. If I stop, it usually makes it more difficult to remember once AF comes, but if I do temp it means more BSC."You haven't worn a jacket the past week it's been cold outside, but your sniffles and cough are from allergies. Definitely not because I'm an irresponsible parent."
Seething right now. Ugh.
GTKY: With labor day fast approaching...What is your favorite thing about fall?
The colours. Hot cocoa with marshmallows. Scarves. Sweaters. Everything!

CD/DPO: ?
WTO - WAYDTGKU: More sex, PNVs, OPKs
R/R: OPKs getting darker. I dream about positive ones, but none yet. Hoping it means I'll ovulate soon.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: With labor day fast approaching...What is your favorite thing about fall?
Pumpkin everything! Although I don't do weird stuff like twinkles and Oreos.... And hopefully cooler weather.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 19
WTO - WAYDTGKU: BBT and PNV
TWW - Timing: good
TWW - Testing: my goal is 10 DPO
R/R: I am posting WTO/TWW in hopes that I just Oed and my temps will stay up
CS/Q:
GTKY: With labor day fast approaching...What is your favorite thing about fall? Cooler weather! I love fall leaves but we don't have any where I live
@lifesabeach85 I hate it when I'm not sure what to expect from my cycle. Good luck!
@izza2 I try so hard not to judge other parents, but seriously, some choices are the wrong choice. Also, where do you live that you needed a jacket this week??? We were thrilled that it was cooler for a couple of days, and it was nowhere near jacket weather.
@lalala2004 That's way exciting that your OPKs are getting darker! Fingers crossed it continues! I wish I had some insight as to what you can expect.
@glitzandglitter I hope you did O! I think it looks like you did, but obviously the one high temp doesn't mean much without some friends up there.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 21/8
WTO - WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, CM, Sex
TWW - Timing: -3, -1, +1
TWW - Testing: Friday, if AF hasn't shown by then.
R/R: Somehow, this is the first time I've posted from my laptop instead of my phone. It is soooo much easier! Also, even though I knew FF was wrong about my cycle length, but I'm psyched there's no sign of AF starting tomorrow. Of course, there's a tiny part of my mind that says I'm late according to FF, so I should test.
CS/Q: Nope. Ha, I don't know how to add my chart from my laptop, anyway.
GTKY: With labor day fast approaching...What is your favorite thing about fall? Sweaters. I'm desperate for it to cool down so I can wear my sweaters. Also, so I can be less freakin' hot. And sleep with blankets on my bed. And I'm excited about the boots and pumpkiny things, too.

Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: DPO 3
WTO - WAYDTGKU: BBT
TWW - Timing: -1
R/R: Finally accepted the fact that OPKs will just not ever be a reliable way for me to determine if I'm ovulating. Chucked my stash to celebrate
CS/Q:
GTKY: With labor day fast approaching...What is your favorite thing about fall?
...Of course this only lasts for about a month where I live 
Oh man so much. Crisp cool air, pumpkin bread, lighting seasonal candles, cider donuts, boots season, sweatshirt weather, bonfires.
I feel like we constantly had like a day or two of real summer weather, and then it was a week of rain. I've been so over it, but also would really like to have a couple of weeks of good summer weather!

Month/Cycle: 5/4
CD/DPO: 32/14
TWW - Timing: -3, -2, -1
TWW - Testing: Sunday was BFN. Will try again Sat if no AF (but doubtful)
R/R: *shrugs*
CS/Q: too lazy to post, link in sig. been pretty lazy about temping after O
GTKY: With labor day fast approaching...What is your favorite thing about fall? Scarves! I love wearing scarves and I have so many. But even fall is still pretty hot here, so it's more just a winter activity.

GTKY: With labor day fast approaching...What is your favorite thing about fall? Aside from Halloween? I like the fall colors, so that's something I'm looking forward to when we go to Arkansas. I also do love hoodie weather and tall boots, but my boots need to be re-soled.

@izza2 Agreed! Temping after O is challenging...it's like, I want to have the data, but on the other hand it definitely fuels BSC and gives me anxiety in the morning before I test...so I think I'm opting not to temp after O anymore.
@lalala2004 Isn't it funny how TTC creeps into our dreams now? I've had some crazy ones about testing.
@glitzandglitter FX your temp stays up! When do you usually O in your cycle? Also, agreed...love cool weather and fall leaves, but we do not have much of that where i am either.
@Secretstapler FX for you! (FF was wrong for me last month and it drove me crazy..hoping it's different for you). And yes, I cannot wait to wear sweaters.
@mrsmtothek I hear you on the short period of cool weather. Seems really unfair, right?! I love scented candles too...actually I love everything about fall.
@JennyColada FX your temp stays up.
@dreamscapes_ I love Halloween too! Such a fun holiday.
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 10
WTO - WAYDTGKU: charting (technically benched this cycle due to MH's work trip)
TWW - Timing:
TWW - Testing:
R/R: Great morning run! Looking forward to cooler weather
CS/Q:
GTKY: With labor day fast approaching...What is your favorite thing about fall?
Seriously everything! I love pumpkins, scented candles, falling leaves, bonfires, sweaters, boots, apples, Halloween....I also love making soups and baking...I'm seriously getting excited thinking about fall.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 24/11
WTO - WAYDTGKU:
TWW - Timing: O-3,O-2,O-1,O,O+1
TWW - Testing: Tested at 10dpo because I had this great, triphasic looking chart, but BFN. Temp drop this morning so I'll wait to see if AF is late (due Friday) because I hate staring at white tests.
R/R: Rant is that we were directly in hurricane zone, and this is like a nightmare. Rave is that we were incredibly lucky given the possibilities. We saw the news and got out of town to Dallas Thursday night before $hit hit the fan. Our neighborhood was right in the flood zone, and many of those pictures taken with water up to the street signs were in our neighborhood. We had neighbors rescued from their rooftops with infants in boats. By some miracle we only got 2-3 inches in the house in a part of the house that is about 6 inches lower than the rest.

GTKY: With labor day fast approaching...What is your favorite thing about fall? Bonfires!!!
@emiliadkay are y'all still safe too?
Like @Guillerma, we're incredibly thankful to be able to say that given what so many others went (and are going) through. So glad to hear your family got out of town in time, @Guillerma!
