Month/Cycle: 5/3 CD: 18 WAYDTGKU: All the things R/R: We have a field trip today, which is great because I don't have to teach but sucks because there's no guarantee about how they're going to behave. CS/Q: Still nothing. My OPKs are getting lighter and I'm having mega cramps. What does it mean? Who knows. I refuse to SS this cycle. GTKY: I'm terrible at these. Would you rather eat nothing but dry latkes (no applesauce or sour cream!) or Hanukkah gelt for all 8 nights of Hanukkah?
Me: 28 DH: 29 Married: 6/2016 TTC #1: 12/2016 Benched due to deployment- Off the bench 8/8/17!
@jsnakehole Enjoy the field trip! As for your cycle, do you think there is any chance you already O'd, but maybe you had a shorter surge and missed it with the opk strips? How often are you using them?
Month/Cycle: 8/7 (1 benched)
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, drinking lots of water, opks, hio
R/R: (Rave): Think I finally got a positive opk last night (yay)! (Rant): Tried to get MH to hio, but he drank too much yesterday afternoon/evening and wasn't able to finish. We will have to try again tonight.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather have a red, light-up nose like Rudolph or be trapped inside the body of a reindeer? (I cannot take the credit for making this one up, but I thought it was amusing).
CS/Q: How do you keep your day positive when the first thing you see is a temp too low for you to have Od?
GTKY: Create your own holiday-inspired "Would you rather?" question. (Feel free to look ideas too. The funnier the better ). Would you rather never hear Christmas music again or be forced to listen to Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmas Time 10x/day forever?
TTGP December Siggy Challenge: Favourite Holiday Movie Moment
@jsnakehole I have a love/hate relationship with field trips. They are fun, but stressful. I always try to plan ones in outdoor spaces so I don’t have to worry about them being loud.
WAYDTGKU: Clomid, OPKs, BBT in a few days, HIO, Coq10 for us both
R/R: Rant: It's Monday. Rave: Just one more week until we're at the "week o' fun"! We've filled next week with lots of great things to do.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: I'm so bad at these. Um....Would you rather go caroling every night of December or have a neighbor who is a horrible singer loudly practice their caroling all hours of the night?
@jsnakehole Is this the cool tech one?! Hope everyone behaves for you!
@dukestar5 My H has trouble if he knows it's "game time" for O. How was your trip?
@matryoshkadoll Honestly, I don't get too bummed about not O'ing at a certain time. But I have fairly regular cycles. It's just another day to HIO really.
@jsnakehole I hope your field trip goes smoothly! And after your GTKY I'm seriously craving latkes. @dukestar5 Yay for the positive opk, and hopefully you get some good timing in tonight! @matryoshkadoll Sorry you're feeling down about your temps. Is this your first cycle temping? For me, if I have a low temp still my reaction tends to be more positive, along the lines of "yay, we still have time to get good timing in!" ---------------------------
Month/Cycle: 10/10
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: letrozole + ovidrel trigger + IUI
R/R: Had a nice, lazy birthday with MH and hung out with a friend for most of yesterday. Now I should probably catch up on work! I still have to plan my classes for today, I have an article review due tomorrow, and I have a pile of grading to work on. But taking the weekend off was still worth it.
CS/Q: My temps look similar to last month on letrozole, but rockier than they normally are. Still nothing exciting to see yet, and no real questions.
GTKY: Create your own holiday-inspired "Would you rather?" question. Would you rather have your ears turn into elf ears or have a Santa beard forever? (I can't take credit, but I found this one funny. )
@dukestar5 hope you have better luck tonight! yay for the +opk @matryoshkadoll I'm sorry, I don't know your story, but do you have a history of an-o cycles? I wouldn't put too much stock into one temp. remember it is the overall pattern that you're looking for and if your cycles are just regulating be it from BCP or from TW-breastfeeding/birth then maybe cut yourself a break since it takes some time. As for the staying positive, in general, I've decided it is a waste of energy to let something I cannot control (like one temp) ruin my day. Now, don't get me wrong I have to remind myself of this often! @SkilledSailor I'm intrigued by this "week o'fun" what do you have planned? @darkstar42 you deserve a weekend off! (especially a birthday) glad you enjoyed your rest.
Month/Cycle: 13/15

WAYDTGKU: bbt, pnv, cm, opk, clomid
R/R: Rave: I have holiday themed flavored coffee and it is going to get more like winter weather here this week! Rant: meh, the usual, I don't feel like being at work on a Monday morning, but I do like getting paid so...
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: Create your own holiday-inspired "Would you rather?" Would you rather be responsible for getting(and caring for) or giving all of the items in the 12 days of Christmas?
How about I answer some of the other questions: @matryoshkadoll Paul McCartney all day every day...FFMC?- I listen to this song by choice; it is on my Christmas play list. @SkilledSailor I'd probably go caroling...then I would be the neighbor sing badly at all hours of the night. @Stargazer1lily wrapping. I love wrapping presents @dukestar5 I'm going red nose.

TTC#2 06/2021 planning FET
"Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks, some doors are open, some roads are blocked"
R/R: I was feeling really down yesterday when AF arrived. At 10 dpo, I thought I had implantation bleeeding so when AF arrived it was such a let down. I spent yesterday crying and eating lots of ice cream. This month I'm going to try and focus on taking better care of myself by eating better and hitting up the gym more often.
CS/Q: None
GTKY: Create your own holiday-inspired "Would you rather?" question. Would you rather have to drink a gallon of eggnog or eat twenty candy canes daily until Christmas?
@jsnakehole Yay for field trip today! Hoping the kids behave for you.
@dukestar5 GL tonight. Your would you rather is a little creepy haha.
@matryoshkadoll Sorry about your low temp. I don't know much about temping, but I hope it doesn't mean you didn't O.
@skilledsailor Blah, yes, Monday. WHYYYY? Your would you rather sound equally terrible.
@darkstar42 Happy Birthday yesterday! Glad you got to relax. Hopefully you get all your work done quickly.
@avrilmai What kind of coffee did you get? I love eggnog chais and peppermint mochas. We are supposed to get winter weather here this week too!
Month/Cycle: 7/7 (3 ntnp, I realized this weekend that I’d
been counting the number of months wrong.
We are in the middle of our 7th month trying…)
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: PNV, charting CM, first month with OPKs (still
haven’t turned one positive… which either means I missed it cause I’m only
testing once a day. Or that I’m O-ing later in my cycle which would line up
with my previous cycles from charting CM).
R/R: Rave. I found out that there is a European Christmas
Market close to my house. I am so
excited to go next weekend but temps are supposed to drop to a high on 18 on
Saturday. I guess I’ll have to break out
the long underwear. Rant. I’m
starting to get anxious about this cycle.
I’m so worried about missing our week or that something’s wrong.
CS/Q: (rant continued…) If I am O-ing later in my cycle that would
mean my LP is less than 10 days. Is that
enough to request some tests? Of course
I would like to confirm O with OPKs AND BBT next cycle…. I also had a freak out
moment this weekend googling too much.
My mom had endometriosis, and ended up having a complete hysterectomy from
post-partum complications before she was 30. I know I’m at a high risk of
having endometriosis, although I have no symptoms. Again is this enough to request some tests
before the one year mark?
GTKY: Create your own holiday-inspired
"Would you rather?" question. (Feel free to look ideas
too. The funnier the better ). Ugh so bad at this… Would you rather write a
five-paragraph essay about the meaning of Christmas or solve a page of
Christmas-themed math problems.
@jsnakehole I am totally
in the same boat with the OPKs. So frustrating and making me anxious with
anticipation.
@Stargazer1lily Sorry
about your foot! I’m glad you’re feeling better.
@Avrilmai Although I hate
winter I am also excited for the weather to get a little colder so hopefully
there will be snow for Christmas. It’s
just not the same without it.

R/R: It’s Monday. But for a Monday it hasn’t been so bad so far. And I’m an accountant so normally the first few days of the month are terrible, let alone Monday as the second working day of the month. Let’s see if tomorrow can keep up the trend lol. I’m hoping to get home not too late and have a nice dinner with DH of meatballs and roast potatoes he prepped yesterday.
CS/Q: Nope not at the moment. Still bemused by my higher temps every night. If I learnt one thing the last 2.5 years is that bodies are weird and sometimes there is no rational explanation for what they do.
GTKY: Create your own holiday-inspired "Would you rather?" question. Hmmmm... Would you rather have Xmas day or New Years Eve as “Groundhog Day” ( ie on repeat for ever and ever)
@jsnakehole good luck on the field trip today. I think I would be panicking I’d lose one! And I second @dukestar5 in asking are you sure you didn’t miss a surge? What do your other signs tell you, any noticeable EWCM or temp shift?
@matryoshkadoll are you charting other symptoms too? Could it be you also missed your surge? I often get a lower temp 2-3 days after I O and then they rise again. If you’re using FF feel free to post your chart here or in the charts talk thread.
@skilledsailor did they already check which side your dominant follie is on this month? And I vote for singing carols every night!
@darkstar42 ooooh elf ears!!! And keeping Fx this cycle is more lucky. Oh and btw I’m still so proud of you advocating last cycle and they want you in on cd11 again this cycle.
@avrilmai CD buddy! Actually I really like to have a nice little group of regulars around the same days through the cycle. The last few months I was out of sync and passing people like ships in the night on the dailies.
@eleven_ oooh definitely 20 candy canes. I can handle that no problemo! Oh and in my book eating ice cream on CD1 doesn’t count for not eating healthy ;-)
@ljmoon6 welcome as I don’t think we’ve been on the same post before. Firstly, when you start tracking everything it’s completely normal to not capture the whole picture, start googling and freak out. You are definitely not alone! In my first year or so I really misinterpreted my cycle and it was only when I moved to FF a year ago and entered all my old data from other apps that I suddenly started to see the light and understand the signs more. (I also made a spreadsheet so I could different analyses myself, but that’s just because I’m a geek!) Most people need to use OPKs a few times a day to catch it. Typically in the afternoon. I actually have to catch it late at night (either just before I go to bed if it’s late, or waking up in the middle of the night if I go to bed early). I would suggest testing multiple times a day for a few cycles and then if you spot your “time of the day” you can try to go back to once at that time. Also it depends on the brand - some actually specifically don’t want you to test with FMU!!! So check your brands instructions, add in the temps next month and if you’re ok to post your chart in a spoiler here or in the charts talk thread. We *love* overanalysing peoples charts for them :-) Oh and I pick the maths problems!

@avrilmai We cancelled seeing the Chinese lanterns because I felt like sh*t so Sunday will be those, Wednesday is Tran-Siberian Orchestra, Thursday is Star Wars, and Saturday is our Christmas party. I can't wait! Hands down, I'd rather give all the 12 items.
@eleven_ Sorry for AF. I know going into month 6 hit me hard too. Take care of yourself, even if that means ice cream one night and gym the next.
@ljmoon6 I have a short LH surge so I need to use OPKs 2-3 times a day to catch it. Usually the afternoon or evening ones are stronger for me. If you consistently have a short LP I believe that's something to see an RE about but they'll likely want proof from OPKs and/or temping.
@emmasemm How're you feeling about this cycle? They're not actually monitoring me this cycle, but are right up the street from me if I feel anything "bad". My guess is my left side is producing more, just because I've been feeling more pressure there. Although, that's my bad side so I always feel more pressure there. I don't know.
R/R: Rant: I tried to use an OPK this morning without dipping it in a cup and
that didn’t work at all. Mostly that’s a rant at myself for being lazy. Rave: I
found Hallmark Christmas movies on youtube so that’s my background noise at
work today.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: Would you rather never receive another gift from anyone ever again or be
forced to give everyone in your family a sex toy as a gift? Thanks Buzzfeed for
this one!
@jsnakehole Oh what kind of field trip is it? The robotics
one?
@dukestar5 GL tonight! And I definitely pick the Rudolph nose.
@matryoshkadoll Is it bad to admit I don’t think I’ve heard
that Paul McCartney song?
@skilledsailor Your week of fun sounds awesome! I’m totally jealous
of your ugly Christmas sweater party.
@darkstar42 Sometimes lazy weekends are so necessary and worth
the work you have to catch up on just for the mental break.
@stargazer1lily How did you hurt your work? I’m glad it’s
feeling better now though.
@Avrilmai I don’t love flavored coffee usually, but I NEED
peppermint mocha during the holidays.
@eleven_ Is there alcohol in my eggnog because if so, I pick
that option.
@LJMoon6 Ohhh a Christmas market sounds like lots of fun. I’m
not as far along with trying as you are, but I think I would still see about
getting an appointment with my Gyn and talking to her about my
concerns/potential testing.
@emmasemm FX the rest of the week continues to go smoothly.
I think I would pick New Years Day because I love Christmas and I wouldn’t want
to start hating it if it never ended.
R/R: I have a serious case of the Monday's. So tired and no motivation. I just did Christmas cards at my desk instead of work.
CS/Q: N/A
GTKY: Create your own holiday-inspired "Would you rather?" question. (Feel free to look ideas too. The funnier the better ). would you rater give Christmas gifts or receive Christmas gifts?!
@emmasemm Hi. I joined the board a week or two ago but haven’t
posted much (still getting used to this talking to strangers thing lol). I thought I had a pretty good understanding
of the signs my body was giving me but every month I get less sure. So I decided to add the OPKs. Now I’m wishing I would have started tracking
BBT this month as well… Oh well, next month.
A couple of you ladies suggested testing multiple times a day, which I
did over the weekend. But how do you do
it at work!? The tests I bought say no
FMU which is why I’ve been testing in the afternoon when I get home. I’m just
hoping I’ll turn one soon and I don’t have to worry about it (I did detect an
increase in CM this morning). I
downloaded FF when I joined the group but never officially set it up till
today. Made me kinda realize how little
of information I’ve been keeping track of… BTW I love math. That’s why I picked
that question lol. Huge STEM nerd.
@SkilledSailor When I have been testing it has been in the
afternoon. I did test multiple times
yesterday but I’m not sure how to test during work days?
@melbel0824 I had an appointment with my gyn a couple months
ago and all she said was to keep BDing… She wants me to come in this month is
not KU yet for a pap but other than that she doesn’t sound too concerned about
anything.

@LJMoon6 I do the same. just slip it in my pocket and use the wrapper as a "cup." It's the waiting 5 minutes part that gives me anxiety. Lol. I also found that testing around 10/10:30 works best for me. Everyone is a little different and it may take a bit of time to figure out when you get your surge. I know that for me I will usually turn a positive mid-morning and then again that evening, if I've had a 4 hour hold. So it may just take some trial and error. I'm with you on the wishing I had data. I didn't start temping until cycle 5...

@emmasemm and @Avrilmai I never even thought to use the wrapper like a cup. Like @LJMoon6 this is also my first month using OPKs, so that was a super helpful hint.
@jsnakehole I hope they behaved and you enjoyed yourself. I don't know the answer to your GTKY--i don't know either @dukestar5 GL tonight! light up nose! @matryoshkadoll why do you think your LP is going to be under 10 days? never hear Christmas music again @SkilledSailor go caroling every night of December @darkstar42 so glad you had a great weekend. elf ears! @Avrilmai holiday themed coffee sounds amazing. giving! @eleven_ sorry for AF--you eat all that icecream. love you December siggy gif @LJMoon6 tell me if i am answering your question incorrectly; however, most women have the same LP lengths but O can change depending on so many different factors. So if you are O'ing later, then we would hope your LP would be same and the total length of your cycle will be longer overall. Oh and Math Problems all the way. @emmasemm i didn't realize you are an accountant as well--me too. I work on lots of month ends so it's always stressful after month end, but i agree today isn't so bad. New Years Eve. @melbel0824 ha--i've been there with OPKs. oh the things we all learn. give sex gifts. @kristah2 welcome receive gifts--i'm not a great giver.

R/R: starting to just feel like going back to NPNT. I'm just not sure i have the emotional energy any more.
CS/Q: not today
GTKY: would you rather have your house always smell like pumpkin or peppermint?
@emmasemm Glad you're both feeling good so far! I like your line of thought! And thank you! I actually contacted the RE office about my symptoms and they told me not to take the last pill. I go in for a work up on Thursday to see what's up. Basically, if I'm hyper-responding we might be out this cycle. Whomp whomp.
@blackhottamales Sorry you're feeling down. Maybe take a cycle or two to NTNP? Also, hands down pumpkin.
@emmasemm and @Avrilmai Fucking genius! You guys are
awesome. Thanks for the tip, I will have
to try that tomorrow.
@blackhottamales I’m at that point in my cycle that I start
to doubt everything I thought I knew about my body… I’m really just hoping that
I’ve been misinterpreting the signs. I’m
hoping the OPKs will give me better insight of when I actually O. Next month I’ll
be adding BBT.

@jsnakehole How did the field trip go? Hope the kids behaved! @dukestar5 Good luck with the HIO tonight! I would choose a red nose for sure. @matryoshkadoll A 10 day LP is still pretty decent. I think anything less than 8 can be worrisome, but it's still not the end all be all (as I understand it at least). I would probably choose to never hear Christmas music again. I actually don't think I know that Paul McCartney song but I think I could live without Christmas music. @SkilledSailor Are you saving the Santa lingerie for your week of fun? @darkstar42 I hope you had a great day at work. Hopefully it wasn't too crazy since you were behind after your lazy weekend. You totes deserved a lazy weekend though. Good for you for knowing when you need to relax. For your GTKY, I would choose elf ears! I always wear my hair down anyways so it'd be easy to hide. @Stargazer1lily Oh no about your foot! I hope it feels better soon. Did you have to go to the doctor? @Avrilmai I also enjoy wrapping presents. Yay for Holiday flavored coffee! @eleven_ So sorry for CD1. Glad you were able to eat some ice cream yesterday to help yourself feel better. For your GTKY, I would pick eggnog even though I'd end up having a heart attack. Hard candies make my teeth feel disgusting, so I wouldn't want to eat so many candy canes each day. @LJMoon6 I have a short LP too, but I don't think it's enough to request testing. Especially since you haven't been using OPKs or charting. I would definitely recommend doing that before you get concerned about your short LP. @emmasemm I hope the rest of your week goes as well as it did today. I would choose Christmas day to have as my "groundhog day." I'd love to open presents every day! Haha. @melbel0824 Your GTKY is hilarious. I have no idea which I would choose. I love receiving gifts but I don't think I'd be able to give my family sex toys as gifts...lol! @blackhottamales So many hugs for you today. I'm sorry you've been feeling down about TTC. I hope you can come to a decision that feels right to you.
Month/Cycle: 7/6 (1 benched)
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: The usual.
R/R: We restocked our supply of wine and beer today. Hooray! My boss approved me to take a 6-month temporary position working with the most senior editors in my organization and I'm really excited! It starts in January.
GTKY: Would you rather wear an ugly Christmas sweater every day of the year or a headband with reindeer ears?
@LJMoon6 Count me in for another person who pees in the wrapper. It may take some practice! I have no craps left to give- so, if I’m not done in the restroom before the 3 minute or whatever time to read OPKs, I wrap it in a tissue & take it with me.
p.s. I agree with @offtoneverland about waiting out testing bc of a short LP, especially if you’re still learning about using OPKs & charting. After several months of charting BBT, OPKs, & CM, I learned about how long after the first +OPK and how long after the OPK turns negative again before I O. So, once you get a +opk, it’s not necessarily a bad thing to keep testing until you get negatives again, for more data. (Never too much data, right @emmasemm? )
@SkilledSailor I’m glad you have a week o’ fun coming up!
You deserve it. Wait, Star Wars comes out this week??? I’ll be there too.
@Stargazer1lily That’s great that your foot is feeling
better!
@Avrilmai Thanks! It was nice to take a break, especially
after last week. And I’m a Paul McCartney fan as well.
@eleven_ Thanks! I’m sorry for cd 1. It doesn’t matter how
many months you’ve been at this, cd 1 is always rough. AFM, I’m terrible at
time management, so I didn’t get through everything I should have today. Oh
well. Tomorrow I’m going to work from a coffee shop instead of going into the
office, so hopefully that’ll help me be more productive!
@LJMoon6 Am I remembering correctly that you’re in the twin
cities? Can you pm me info on the Christmas market? That sounds lovely! Since
you aren’t temping right now I’d wait before getting testing done.
@emmasemm Your dinner with YH sounds lovely! Thanks so much
for your support and encouragement with all things RE-related. It’s always hard
to know when to trust the doctor and when to advocate, but you have been so
helpful with figuring it all out!
@melbel0824 Your background of Hallmark movies sounds fun!
@blackhottamales I don’t blame you for wanting to dial back
on ttc. It can really become an obsession, which isn’t good. You know we’ll all
fully support whatever decision you make.
@offtoneverland My day wasn’t too crazy, but I definitely
didn’t get all my work done! That’s pretty par for the course though. I’m awful
at time management. Congratulations on the new position! That’s fabulous!
@matryoshkadoll I'm sorry about the potential short LP. @SkilledSailor Your week sounds like so much fun. Are you ready to host your Christmas party? Also, my trip was great. So much fun--lots of good food and good laughs with my girlfriends. @darkstar42 I cannot remember if you've shared this before, but how did your RE decide on letrozole (as opposed to clomid)? @Stargazer1lily How did you hurt your foot? Glad you are feeling better. @Avrilmai Yum for holiday themed flavored coffee! It sounds delicious. @eleven_ I'm sorry for AF. Such a letdown. I hope you are enjoying your ice cream! What flavor did you choose? (Oh, and I think I mentioned, but I can't take credit for that gtky answer...I found the idea online. ) @LJMoon6 I think it's definitely worth asking your ob/gyn about, but they may still tell you to wait until the 1 year mark (if you are under 35). I would use fertility friend and chart using opks/bbt so that you have more data. You may also want to test with an opk more than 1x a day. I have a short surge, so I like to test 2-3x a day during my expected FW so that I do not miss the surge. @emmasemm How was work? Did you get to leave early enough to enjoy the meatballs and potatoes that YH prepped? @melbel0824 Haha I definitely saw that GTKY answer while searching online! As for the opks, have you tried peeing into the opk wrapper and then testing with the opk stick? It's a little more difficult than peeing into a cup, but it's possible and I do it when I'm out of the house. @kristah2 Welcome! Way to get the Christmas cards done. @blackhottamales ((Hugs friend)) I have been considering going back to ntnp as well, especially next cycle since it will fall over Christmas/new year's and I just want the time to be joyful and relaxing. I am not temping this cycle and it has been freeing. It would be nice to forgo the opks/charting too and just have some fun. @offtoneverland Yay! So glad your boss approved the temporary position. If it feels like a good fit, maybe you can convince them to keep you there. And yay for the wine/beer restock. What are your favorites?
Thank you ladies for the support. I've charted and temped a lot before and it is so easy for me to become obsessed and lose focus. Thanks especially to everyone who reminded me that when you don't get a high temp to look on the bright side and HIO, the real meaning of TTC.
@jsnakehole I can't imagine having to wrangle a bunch of kids on field trips, seems hard enough in a contained area. @dukestar5 hoorah for positive ops, that's encouraging @SkilledSailor week o'fun, yes I'll have to use that phrasing haha @darkstar42 good for you for taking a real break, it makes it so much easier to work later @Stargazer1lily it's so hard to take it easy. I'm glad it paid off. @Avrilmai yes I'm still regulating... good reminder @eleven_ Oh no for AF, but way to turn it into something positive to motivate you this month! @LJMoon6 I would try to do BBT a cycle or two and then maybe call to see what your dr thinks @emmasemm Right now I would have to agree that bodies are weird and something there is no rational explanation. I am charting cm and cp so I will probably post it in the next few days, still all fertile and low temps. @melbel0824 sorry, lol at your opk escapade, I feel like that's happened to me with hpts @kristah2 oh man I need to do Christmas cards stat @blackhottamales I've been generally tracking my cycles and they have been super short but now I'm temping and unless I'm suddenly having a long cycle (I'd be ok with that) it may have been short for several months. I feel you on the NTNP, I'm temping and suddenly it is a whole other world @offtoneverland Sound fun to do a temp position

@jsnakehole Is this the cool tech one?! Hope everyone behaves for you!
@dukestar5 My H has trouble if he knows it's "game time" for O. How was your trip?
@matryoshkadoll Honestly, I don't get too bummed about not O'ing at a certain time. But I have fairly regular cycles. It's just another day to HIO really.
@dukestar5 Yay for the positive opk, and hopefully you get some good timing in tonight!
@matryoshkadoll Sorry you're feeling down about your temps. Is this your first cycle temping? For me, if I have a low temp still my reaction tends to be more positive, along the lines of "yay, we still have time to get good timing in!"

CS/Q: My temps look similar to last month on letrozole, but rockier than they normally are. Still nothing exciting to see yet, and no real questions.

@matryoshkadoll I'm sorry, I don't know your story, but do you have a history of an-o cycles? I wouldn't put too much stock into one temp. remember it is the overall pattern that you're looking for and if your cycles are just regulating be it from BCP or from TW-breastfeeding/birth then maybe cut yourself a break since it takes some time. As for the staying positive, in general, I've decided it is a waste of energy to let something I cannot control (like one temp) ruin my day. Now, don't get me wrong I have to remind myself of this often!
@SkilledSailor I'm intrigued by this "week o'fun" what do you have planned?
@darkstar42 you deserve a weekend off! (especially a birthday) glad you enjoyed your rest.

Would you rather be responsible for getting(and caring for) or giving all of the items in the 12 days of Christmas?
How about I answer some of the other questions: @matryoshkadoll Paul McCartney all day every day...FFMC?- I listen to this song by choice; it is on my Christmas play list.
@SkilledSailor I'd probably go caroling...then I would be the neighbor sing badly at all hours of the night.

CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: PNV, charting CM, first month with OPKs (still haven’t turned one positive… which either means I missed it cause I’m only testing once a day. Or that I’m O-ing later in my cycle which would line up with my previous cycles from charting CM).
R/R: Rave. I found out that there is a European Christmas Market close to my house. I am so excited to go next weekend but temps are supposed to drop to a high on 18 on Saturday. I guess I’ll have to break out the long underwear. Rant. I’m starting to get anxious about this cycle. I’m so worried about missing our week or that something’s wrong.
CS/Q: (rant continued…) If I am O-ing later in my cycle that would mean my LP is less than 10 days. Is that enough to request some tests? Of course I would like to confirm O with OPKs AND BBT next cycle…. I also had a freak out moment this weekend googling too much. My mom had endometriosis, and ended up having a complete hysterectomy from post-partum complications before she was 30. I know I’m at a high risk of having endometriosis, although I have no symptoms. Again is this enough to request some tests before the one year mark?
GTKY: Create your own holiday-inspired "Would you rather?" question. (Feel free to look ideas too. The funnier the better ). Ugh so bad at this… Would you rather write a five-paragraph essay about the meaning of Christmas or solve a page of Christmas-themed math problems.
@jsnakehole I am totally in the same boat with the OPKs. So frustrating and making me anxious with anticipation.
@dukestar5 Yay for positive OPK!!
@matryoshkadoll Whenever I get sad I always repeat in my head “Everything happens for a reason.” It’s what my grandma always says.
@SkilledSailor The “week o’ fun” sounds great!
@darkstar42 Happy belated birthday!
@Stargazer1lily Sorry about your foot! I’m glad you’re feeling better.
@Avrilmai Although I hate winter I am also excited for the weather to get a little colder so hopefully there will be snow for Christmas. It’s just not the same without it.

And I’m an accountant so normally the first few days of the month are terrible, let alone Monday as the second working day of the month. Let’s see if tomorrow can keep up the trend lol. I’m hoping to get home not too late and have a nice dinner with DH of meatballs and roast potatoes he prepped yesterday.
CS/Q: Nope not at the moment. Still bemused by my higher temps every night. If I learnt one thing the last 2.5 years is that bodies are weird and sometimes there is no rational explanation for what they do.
GTKY: Create your own holiday-inspired "Would you rather?" question. Hmmmm... Would you rather have Xmas day or New Years Eve as “Groundhog Day” ( ie on repeat for ever and ever)
@jsnakehole good luck on the field trip today. I think I would be panicking I’d lose one! And I second @dukestar5 in asking are you sure you didn’t miss a surge? What do your other signs tell you, any noticeable EWCM or temp shift?
@dukestar5 good luck with HIO attempt 2 tonight!
@matryoshkadoll are you charting other symptoms too? Could it be you also missed your surge? I often get a lower temp 2-3 days after I O and then they rise again. If you’re using FF feel free to post your chart here or in the charts talk thread.
@skilledsailor did they already check which side your dominant follie is on this month? And I vote for singing carols every night!
@darkstar42 ooooh elf ears!!! And keeping Fx this cycle is more lucky. Oh and btw I’m still so proud of you advocating last cycle and they want you in on cd11 again this cycle.
@avrilmai CD buddy! Actually I really like to have a nice little group of regulars around the same days through the cycle. The last few months I was out of sync and passing people like ships in the night on the dailies.
@eleven_ oooh definitely 20 candy canes. I can handle that no problemo! Oh and in my book eating ice cream on CD1 doesn’t count for not eating healthy ;-)
@ljmoon6 welcome as I don’t think we’ve been on the same post before. Firstly, when you start tracking everything it’s completely normal to not capture the whole picture, start googling and freak out. You are definitely not alone! In my first year or so I really misinterpreted my cycle and it was only when I moved to FF a year ago and entered all my old data from other apps that I suddenly started to see the light and understand the signs more. (I also made a spreadsheet so I could different analyses myself, but that’s just because I’m a geek!)
Most people need to use OPKs a few times a day to catch it. Typically in the afternoon. I actually have to catch it late at night (either just before I go to bed if it’s late, or waking up in the middle of the night if I go to bed early). I would suggest testing multiple times a day for a few cycles and then if you spot your “time of the day” you can try to go back to once at that time.
Also it depends on the brand - some actually specifically don’t want you to test with FMU!!! So check your brands instructions, add in the temps next month and if you’re ok to post your chart in a spoiler here or in the charts talk thread. We *love* overanalysing peoples charts for them :-)
Oh and I pick the maths problems!

@avrilmai We cancelled seeing the Chinese lanterns because I felt like sh*t so Sunday will be those, Wednesday is Tran-Siberian Orchestra, Thursday is Star Wars, and Saturday is our Christmas party. I can't wait! Hands down, I'd rather give all the 12 items.
@eleven_ Sorry for AF. I know going into month 6 hit me hard too. Take care of yourself, even if that means ice cream one night and gym the next.
@ljmoon6 I have a short LH surge so I need to use OPKs 2-3 times a day to catch it. Usually the afternoon or evening ones are stronger for me. If you consistently have a short LP I believe that's something to see an RE about but they'll likely want proof from OPKs and/or temping.
@emmasemm How're you feeling about this cycle? They're not actually monitoring me this cycle, but are right up the street from me if I feel anything "bad". My guess is my left side is producing more, just because I've been feeling more pressure there. Although, that's my bad side so I always feel more pressure there. I don't know.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: HIO, PNVs, CM, OPKs
R/R: Rant: I tried to use an OPK this morning without dipping it in a cup and that didn’t work at all. Mostly that’s a rant at myself for being lazy. Rave: I found Hallmark Christmas movies on youtube so that’s my background noise at work today.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: Would you rather never receive another gift from anyone ever again or be forced to give everyone in your family a sex toy as a gift? Thanks Buzzfeed for this one!
@jsnakehole Oh what kind of field trip is it? The robotics one?
@dukestar5 GL tonight! And I definitely pick the Rudolph nose.
@matryoshkadoll Is it bad to admit I don’t think I’ve heard that Paul McCartney song?
@skilledsailor Your week of fun sounds awesome! I’m totally jealous of your ugly Christmas sweater party.
@darkstar42 Sometimes lazy weekends are so necessary and worth the work you have to catch up on just for the mental break.
@stargazer1lily How did you hurt your work? I’m glad it’s feeling better now though.
@Avrilmai I don’t love flavored coffee usually, but I NEED peppermint mocha during the holidays.
@eleven_ Is there alcohol in my eggnog because if so, I pick that option.
@LJMoon6 Ohhh a Christmas market sounds like lots of fun. I’m not as far along with trying as you are, but I think I would still see about getting an appointment with my Gyn and talking to her about my concerns/potential testing.
@emmasemm FX the rest of the week continues to go smoothly. I think I would pick New Years Day because I love Christmas and I wouldn’t want to start hating it if it never ended.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: tomorrow will be CD1
WAYDTGKU: Charting
R/R: I have a serious case of the Monday's. So tired and no motivation. I just did Christmas cards at my desk instead of work.
CS/Q: N/A
GTKY: Create your own holiday-inspired "Would you rather?" question. (Feel free to look ideas too. The funnier the better ).
would you rater give Christmas gifts or receive Christmas gifts?!
@emmasemm Hi. I joined the board a week or two ago but haven’t posted much (still getting used to this talking to strangers thing lol). I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the signs my body was giving me but every month I get less sure. So I decided to add the OPKs. Now I’m wishing I would have started tracking BBT this month as well… Oh well, next month. A couple of you ladies suggested testing multiple times a day, which I did over the weekend. But how do you do it at work!? The tests I bought say no FMU which is why I’ve been testing in the afternoon when I get home. I’m just hoping I’ll turn one soon and I don’t have to worry about it (I did detect an increase in CM this morning). I downloaded FF when I joined the group but never officially set it up till today. Made me kinda realize how little of information I’ve been keeping track of… BTW I love math. That’s why I picked that question lol. Huge STEM nerd.
@SkilledSailor When I have been testing it has been in the afternoon. I did test multiple times yesterday but I’m not sure how to test during work days?
@melbel0824 I had an appointment with my gyn a couple months ago and all she said was to keep BDing… She wants me to come in this month is not KU yet for a pap but other than that she doesn’t sound too concerned about anything.

Someone recently posted that if you can change a pad or a tampon at work, then you can use OPKs and do IVF injections... other people tend to realize less than we think!
I do OPKs without peeing in a cup by using the wrapper it comes in (I use internet cheapies) to pee in and then dipping in that. I rip open the top and half way down one side which seems to give me a big enough space to aim in!

@dukestar5 GL tonight! light up nose!
@matryoshkadoll why do you think your LP is going to be under 10 days? never hear Christmas music again
@SkilledSailor go caroling every night of December
@darkstar42 so glad you had a great weekend. elf ears!
@Avrilmai holiday themed coffee sounds amazing. giving!
@eleven_ sorry for AF--you eat all that icecream. love you December siggy gif
@LJMoon6 tell me if i am answering your question incorrectly; however, most women have the same LP lengths but O can change depending on so many different factors. So if you are O'ing later, then we would hope your LP would be same and the total length of your cycle will be longer overall. Oh and Math Problems all the way.
@emmasemm i didn't realize you are an accountant as well--me too. I work on lots of month ends so it's always stressful after month end, but i agree today isn't so bad. New Years Eve.
@melbel0824 ha--i've been there with OPKs. oh the things we all learn. give sex gifts.
@kristah2 welcome receive gifts--i'm not a great giver.

@blackhottamales Sorry you're feeling down. Maybe take a cycle or two to NTNP? Also, hands down pumpkin.
@emmasemm and @Avrilmai Fucking genius! You guys are awesome. Thanks for the tip, I will have to try that tomorrow.
@blackhottamales I’m at that point in my cycle that I start to doubt everything I thought I knew about my body… I’m really just hoping that I’ve been misinterpreting the signs. I’m hoping the OPKs will give me better insight of when I actually O. Next month I’ll be adding BBT.

@dukestar5 Good luck with the HIO tonight! I would choose a red nose for sure.
@matryoshkadoll A 10 day LP is still pretty decent. I think anything less than 8 can be worrisome, but it's still not the end all be all (as I understand it at least). I would probably choose to never hear Christmas music again. I actually don't think I know that Paul McCartney song but I think I could live without Christmas music.
@SkilledSailor Are you saving the Santa lingerie for your week of fun?
@darkstar42 I hope you had a great day at work. Hopefully it wasn't too crazy since you were behind after your lazy weekend. You totes deserved a lazy weekend though. Good for you for knowing when you need to relax. For your GTKY, I would choose elf ears! I always wear my hair down anyways so it'd be easy to hide.
@Stargazer1lily Oh no about your foot! I hope it feels better soon. Did you have to go to the doctor?
@Avrilmai I also enjoy wrapping presents. Yay for Holiday flavored coffee!
@eleven_ So sorry for CD1. Glad you were able to eat some ice cream yesterday to help yourself feel better. For your GTKY, I would pick eggnog even though I'd end up having a heart attack. Hard candies make my teeth feel disgusting, so I wouldn't want to eat so many candy canes each day.
@LJMoon6 I have a short LP too, but I don't think it's enough to request testing. Especially since you haven't been using OPKs or charting. I would definitely recommend doing that before you get concerned about your short LP.
@emmasemm I hope the rest of your week goes as well as it did today. I would choose Christmas day to have as my "groundhog day." I'd love to open presents every day! Haha.
@melbel0824 Your GTKY is hilarious. I have no idea which I would choose. I love receiving gifts but I don't think I'd be able to give my family sex toys as gifts...lol!
@blackhottamales So many hugs for you today. I'm sorry you've been feeling down about TTC. I hope you can come to a decision that feels right to you.

p.s. I agree with @offtoneverland about waiting out testing bc of a short LP, especially if you’re still learning about using OPKs & charting. After several months of charting BBT, OPKs, & CM, I learned about how long after the first +OPK and how long after the OPK turns negative again before I O. So, once you get a +opk, it’s not necessarily a bad thing to keep testing until you get negatives again, for more data. (Never too much data, right @emmasemm? )
@SkilledSailor I’m glad you have a week o’ fun coming up! You deserve it. Wait, Star Wars comes out this week??? I’ll be there too.
@Stargazer1lily That’s great that your foot is feeling better!
@Avrilmai Thanks! It was nice to take a break, especially after last week. And I’m a Paul McCartney fan as well.
@eleven_ Thanks! I’m sorry for cd 1. It doesn’t matter how many months you’ve been at this, cd 1 is always rough. AFM, I’m terrible at time management, so I didn’t get through everything I should have today. Oh well. Tomorrow I’m going to work from a coffee shop instead of going into the office, so hopefully that’ll help me be more productive!
@LJMoon6 Am I remembering correctly that you’re in the twin cities? Can you pm me info on the Christmas market? That sounds lovely! Since you aren’t temping right now I’d wait before getting testing done.
@emmasemm Your dinner with YH sounds lovely! Thanks so much for your support and encouragement with all things RE-related. It’s always hard to know when to trust the doctor and when to advocate, but you have been so helpful with figuring it all out!
@melbel0824 Your background of Hallmark movies sounds fun!
@kristah2 Welcome!
@blackhottamales I don’t blame you for wanting to dial back on ttc. It can really become an obsession, which isn’t good. You know we’ll all fully support whatever decision you make.
@offtoneverland My day wasn’t too crazy, but I definitely didn’t get all my work done! That’s pretty par for the course though. I’m awful at time management. Congratulations on the new position! That’s fabulous!
@matryoshkadoll I'm sorry about the potential short LP.
@SkilledSailor Your week sounds like so much fun. Are you ready to host your Christmas party? Also, my trip was great. So much fun--lots of good food and good laughs with my girlfriends.
@darkstar42 I cannot remember if you've shared this before, but how did your RE decide on letrozole (as opposed to clomid)?
@Stargazer1lily How did you hurt your foot? Glad you are feeling better.
@Avrilmai Yum for holiday themed flavored coffee! It sounds delicious.
@eleven_ I'm sorry for AF. Such a letdown. I hope you are enjoying your ice cream! What flavor did you choose? (Oh, and I think I mentioned, but I can't take credit for that gtky answer...I found the idea online. )
@LJMoon6 I think it's definitely worth asking your ob/gyn about, but they may still tell you to wait until the 1 year mark (if you are under 35). I would use fertility friend and chart using opks/bbt so that you have more data. You may also want to test with an opk more than 1x a day. I have a short surge, so I like to test 2-3x a day during my expected FW so that I do not miss the surge.
@emmasemm How was work? Did you get to leave early enough to enjoy the meatballs and potatoes that YH prepped?
@melbel0824 Haha I definitely saw that GTKY answer while searching online! As for the opks, have you tried peeing into the opk wrapper and then testing with the opk stick? It's a little more difficult than peeing into a cup, but it's possible and I do it when I'm out of the house.
@kristah2 Welcome! Way to get the Christmas cards done.
@blackhottamales ((Hugs friend)) I have been considering going back to ntnp as well, especially next cycle since it will fall over Christmas/new year's and I just want the time to be joyful and relaxing. I am not temping this cycle and it has been freeing. It would be nice to forgo the opks/charting too and just have some fun.
@offtoneverland Yay! So glad your boss approved the temporary position. If it feels like a good fit, maybe you can convince them to keep you there. And yay for the wine/beer restock. What are your favorites?
@jsnakehole I can't imagine having to wrangle a bunch of kids on field trips, seems hard enough in a contained area.
@dukestar5 hoorah for positive ops, that's encouraging
@SkilledSailor week o'fun, yes I'll have to use that phrasing haha
@darkstar42 good for you for taking a real break, it makes it so much easier to work later
@Stargazer1lily it's so hard to take it easy. I'm glad it paid off.
@Avrilmai yes I'm still regulating... good reminder
@eleven_ Oh no for AF, but way to turn it into something positive to motivate you this month!
@LJMoon6 I would try to do BBT a cycle or two and then maybe call to see what your dr thinks
@emmasemm Right now I would have to agree that bodies are weird and something there is no rational explanation. I am charting cm and cp so I will probably post it in the next few days, still all fertile and low temps.
@melbel0824 sorry, lol at your opk escapade, I feel like that's happened to me with hpts
@kristah2 oh man I need to do Christmas cards stat
@blackhottamales I've been generally tracking my cycles and they have been super short but now I'm temping and unless I'm suddenly having a long cycle (I'd be ok with that) it may have been short for several months. I feel you on the NTNP, I'm temping and suddenly it is a whole other world
@offtoneverland Sound fun to do a temp position
