    @jaylii That’s an ugly turn around! Hopefully you get lots of sleep on Wednesday nights!

    Month/Cycle: 8/13

    CD: 14

    WAYDTGKU: All the acronyms plus Pom juice

    R/R: **TW: kids - I have to be up at 2 am for the next 9 nights to give my daughter antibiotics (she gets them every 6 hours) -end TW** I have such a hard time sleeping and when I have to be awake in the middle of the night it means I’m up for the day from that point on - so 2 am wake ups for the next 9 nights means my BBT will likely be even wonkier than normal.

    CS/Q: Not today

    GTKY: Borrowing from TWW. Salty or sweet? What's your favorite snack? Sweet all the way - likely ice cream if I had to pick one thing.

    Hey. I'm going to move over here since I've lost track of this cycle and I'm waiting for af. I feel it's not really a tww anymore. 

    Month/Cycle: finishing 2/2 ntnp

    CD: 31 - I'm normally 26-28ish so this is weird 

    WAYDTGKU: waiting for af

    R/R: see all above

    GTKY: Borrowing from TWW. Salty or sweet? What's your favorite snack?
    Salty sweet - chocolate covered pretzels. Mmmmmmmm.
    Actual snack, wasabi peas.

    Month/Cycle: 4/3

    CD: 17

    WAYDTGKU: CM, OPKs, PNV

    R/R: Rant: I'm confused.  I thought my OPK would be darker this morning but it's a little lighter than yesterday.  I had some red spotting mixed with watery CM this morning so I'm wondering if I might be ovulating soon and that could be ovulation spotting?  I normally have a lot of EWCM the day before and the day of ovulation and I haven't had any yet.  But I normally have a blazing positive OPK along with the EWCM so I don't know why I would have ovulation spotting without the other typical signs of O.  I know, I know.  "You're normal until you're not."  I have also had significant ovary pain/discomfort on my right side which at least means something is going on in there.  FF and Glow originally predicted O for CD 18.  After putting in all this info FF still says O on CD18 (which I doubt).  And Glow adjusted it to CD20 which would be more likely.  So we'll see what happens.  It's times like these I wish I would temp to have more info but I've never been able to be consistent with it so I just don't bother.  

    CS/Q:  I posted in the c/s/questions thread about ovulation spotting.  Another question though: With OPKs, do you test with FMU?  I normally do because it's hard to test at work which would normally be SMU.  Just wondering if I should avoid using FMU if it gives you inaccurate results.

    GTKY: Borrowing from TWW. Salty or sweet? What's your favorite snack?  I'm obsessed with Skinny Pop popcorn right now and it blows my mind that it can be that good with basically nothing on it.  But ice cream, specifically Greater's chocolate chip, is my weakness. Oh and Talenti gelato.  I try not to eat it too often though.

    Edit for clarification.

    @Augusta108 its gray here too. Makes teh fall foliage look extra orange though so thats cool.

    @elolin boo for getting up so early! I am sorry you can't make it back to sleep after.

    Month/Cycle: 5/5

    CD: 6

    WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt, CM and CP , OPK

    R/R: Rave: This will be day 3 working out IN A ROW for me. I was doing pretty good but then had some dental work done so couldn't workout for about a week and got off track.  
    Rant: Just started OPKs today because i had some watery cervical mucous. I had what i think is some EWCM this morning which is very abnormal for me. Which leads me to...

    CS/Q: TMI...I have an embarassingly difficult time distinguishing between EWCM and semen. Like, we had sex 2 days ago (as in, this will be day 3 without it if we don't) so I feel like I shouldn't have semen in there, especially since I didn't for the last two days? So I think my Q is...like really how long is semen inside your vagina after sex? And would it show up after two days of not being there? It's not breaking when I stretch it so that's why I am thinking EWCM.

    GTKY: Borrowing from TWW. Salty or sweet? What's your favorite snack-crackers and cheese are a favorite snack but if we wanna go like, super unhealthy what would I LOVE to eat as a snack...pizza rolls. Gimme some of that.

    @Sarafuss TCOYF always says to pay attention to CM and keep HIO if you have watery & EW CM. I was listening to an interesting episode of How to Get Healthy and Pregnant podcast where she talks all about OPKs. She says first morning urine is not the best and that testing between 12-8pm is ideal. Also to catch a surge you may need to be testing 2-3 times a day through your fertile period. GL!

    @SmashJam I have a hard time distinguishing between the two sometimes too!  For me, it seems like it's only in there for about a day.  So I would consider what you have to be EWCM.  I also think that semen is cloudier looking than EWCM which is more clear, at least for me.  

    @jaylii good to know!  And I'll have to check out that podcast! I usually only test 2-3x a day when I have the typical EWCM.  I was thinking that maybe I missed my LH surge by not testing multiple times yesterday.  But I didn't have EWCM so I didn't. :/  And I usually have 2 days of positive OPKs so that would be odd for me to have a short surge like that.  I did have some EWCM when I went to the bathroom just now but my second OPK today was still negative.  We will still continue to HIO but I'm thinking I have a few more days before O.

    @Mylitta Hopefully AF shows soon so you can move onto the next cycle!

    @Augusta108 Kids in costumes are the best!

    @Sarafuss I have always read not using FMU is best. I generally test around 10am and 7pm so I don't miss the surge but my line is getting lighter again without ever being positive so I could be doing something wrong!

    @SmashJam I had this exact issue come up this month and read a bunch of threads/articles on it. Semen apparently doesn't stretch, and it also absorbs into the toilet paper when you wipe whereas EWCM will sit on top and (obviously) stretches. And like @Sarafuss said it tends to be cloudier than EWCM. So I bet it is CM for you - time to HIO!

    @nmbrcrnchr1 No naps today but luckily I do relatively well on little sleep since I've always had such awful sleep patterns! And thank goodness for hump day - its been a long week already!

    @canucklehead123 Men are so frustrating sometimes! It is so worth paying others to get it done and men just don't see it that way if it's something they might be able to do on their own.

    @blackhottamales Ice cream is never far from my mind, lol! I started feeling like a cold was coming on yesterday - I hope the spike wasn't because of that! It seems like everyone has a cold right now.

    @blackhottamales I'm really enjoying the pilates classes and it's really helped me with strengthening, especially my core, which is important because I had a serious back injury two years ago (herniated discs). I'm currently doing reformer classes which uses the machine pictured below. Kinda looks like a torture device but you can do a million different exercises on them. I want to try a mat class too.

    @Sarafuss TW I swear I used to test only with FMU when I got pregnant before End TW but now if i test wtih FMU I get a LOT of positives-like almost constant-so maybe I used to do it after work. So my answer would be...yeah you might get a lot of positives if you test with FMU since the LH is more concentrated.

    @blackhottamales and @elolin sorry for the repeat question! I admit...I didn't search! Sorry! But thank you. I had actually forgotten about the smell thing. It does sit on top of the toilet paper so I think it might be EWCM. WEird for me I think, but I'd better get on it!

    @princesslockness those are LOVELY. Nothing like flowers delivered to work, especially if they sit in the front office so like EVERYONE knows they came to you and you can feel super special about it until you pick them up, lol. Also...Happy Birthday!

    @princesslockness Those flowers are gorgeous!! Happy Birthday!!  And I don't think they are super special but they are 4 times per day and they specifically said every 6 hours and not 4 times over just the awake period. I assume it's to keep an even level in her system at all times and not overload her system since they are fairly heavy duty.

    @SmashJam I think it's probably a question that comes up a lot but there was surprisingly little that came up - it made me wonder why more people weren't questioning it!

    @elolin ugh, that’s rough. I hope she feels better! It’s so hard when the kiddos are sick. My son ends up with strep at some point every year so I’m just waiting for to hit any month now. 

    @Sarafuss I’ve read that people with test with FMU and then again in the afternoon. I started doing that but then just started only testing in the afternoon so I’m not wasting my OPKs.

    @SmashJam good for you! I’ve been slacking on working out and am trying to convince myself to get to the gym tonight. 

    @canucklehead123 haha your DH sounds like mine. He’s always trying to do stuff himself, which is great some times, but other times I’m just like “screw it, let’s pay someone!”

    @princesslockness aww so sweet! Those flowers are beautiful! 

    Month/Cycle: 2/2 after being benched in February for an open myomectomy 

    CD: 17 (should be heading over to TWW in a few days)

    WAYDTGKU: HIO so much that it’s currently being referred to as a “business meeting”, OPK, BBT, RRL tea, PNV, no alcohol and trying to get back to paleo

    R/R: I’m still raving about this new mattress we got! Our last one was like concrete compared to this one; I actually took a nap today because it’s just too comfortable to leave. 

    CS/Q: Besides PNV, do you ladies take any other supplements to help with health/fertility? 

    GTKY: Borrowing from TWW. Salty or sweet? What's your favorite snack? Oh jeez, this is tough! I’d say both. During the day I LOVE snacking on chips. But when I snack at night I always want ice cream.

    @mrs_drc_rn Sick kids are definitely the worst - being able to do so little to help them is awful! We also refer to it as 'business' - I wrote it into MH schedule so he knows it's coming, lol!

    @offtoneverland My new BBT takes forever as well! There are times when I have to light it up with my phone to make sure it's really still working because it's been so long!

    Catching up at work today after 2 days out sick, so late to the party....

    @jaylii reformer pilates looks interesting. Hope you had a good class!
    @Mylitta you've got me craving chocolate covered pretzels now. I like them with dark chocolate. Yum!
    @Augusta108 hope the sun comes out for you soon! I love crisp, sunny fall days, but I also appreciate the gray ones. Where I live it is gray most of the year, so I've had to adapt to that!
    @SmashJam *high five* for working out 3 days in a row! 
    @nmbrcrnchr1 That caramel cashew snack mix sounds really good. I'll have to check that out next time I'm at Tarjay
    @canucklehead123 I'm sorry YH is being stubborn about the couch delivery, but I think it's hilarious imagining the couch cruising down the road on top of a sedan. I hope he comes around on that for you!
    @princesslockness sorry about CD1, but happy birthday! Those flowers are gorgeous! Hope the PT conferences go quickly. I also love me a good sugar cookie. mmm
    @mrs_drc_rn I'm jealous of your new mattress! We need a new one SO BAD. Enjoy it!!
    @offtoneverland enchiladas sound delish! This entire thread is making me hungry even though I just ate dinner. LOL!

    As for me:

    Month/Cycle: 5/5

    CD: 3

    WAYDTGKU: PNV, Green Tea, Temping

    R/R: Feeling better today (stomach-wise, which was my issue last few days), but starting to feel a head cold coming on. Seriously not fair! Hoping my homemade chicken noodle soup will help.

    CS/Q: Just started temping, so just one lonely dot. Hoping I can keep it up this cycle.

    GTKY: Borrowing from TWW. Salty or sweet? What's your favorite snack? Hmm, very difficult choice. If I HAD to choose, I'd have to go sweet. Dark chocolate with almonds is a favorite.
