Month/Cycle: 3/4

WAYDTGKU: PNV, charting, temping, OPK's, N&C
R/R: this new work structure I'm not a fan of. It is meeting after meeting. when on earth am I supposed to get work done if i'm sitting in countless project update meetings?
GTKY: What is your favourite food? DH and I make a homemade, five cheese, double stuffed crust pizza that is a giant calorie bomb and super delicious. But also cookies and cream ice cream and french vanilla cupcakes.
@elothair Safe travels!! @catlady2015 SO many meetings nowadays! I have a 3 hour meeting today. Most things can be announced via e-mail! LOL. I hope it flies by for you!
Month/Cycle:3/4
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: PNV, charting, OPK's, N&C
R/R: Rant: Waiting for AF to leave. Spotting/AF for 2 weeks now. Hoping it's just a weird cycle. Rave: It's Tuesday! Feeling good now that I'm back on the healthy train. Any other body pumpers out there?
GTKY: What is your favorite food? Since I'm trying to be healthy... stuffed peppers or taco bowls currently!
@catlady2015 - Ugh, meetings!! Luckily, I don't have many I need to participate in.
@meladams10 - I keep saying it like it's going to mean something, but I NEED to get back into working out! What kind of routine are you on for getting in a workout regularly?
Month/Cycle: 2/3
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: Most of the things. I'm now part of the "pee on something and then tape it to a piece of paper and hide it somewhere in the bathroom club". I started using the OPK's Saturday but didn't feel like I was able to notice a change day-to-day. This morning's seemed darker, but I wasn't really sure. I'll admit to digging yesterday's out of the trash to compare. Glad I did, cause today's turned out to be ever so slightly darker!
R/R: RAVE: My bed has been so comfortable lately. I've got nice fluffy pillows... thick heavy comforter... I just don't want to have to get out of bed in the mornings!
GTKY: What is your favourite food? Honestly, oatmeal. I have it just about every morning, and I've done so for a couple years now. 2nd choice - funfetti cake with vanilla icing, but it has to be the stuff out of the box!!
Hope you have a safe trip @elothair @catlady2015 sounds soo yummy!! @meladams10 sorry about AF being so annoying. Nice that you are on the healthy train. I try to board that train and fail miserably every time
month/cycle: 7/7
CD 21
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK
R/R: no positive OPK yet or temp shift and its day 21 already. I havent been temping that frequently though due to work schedule but from what i can see there has been no change. So frustrating!! I guess il have a pretty long cycle this time. Feeling a little down today. Driving to meet DH today so hopefully should make me feel better.
GTKY: too many. LOVE burgers and fries but also pasta’s and sushi.
@kimberbeep I'm definitely the type of person that has to go to a class! I typically attend body pump and plan on going at least 3 times a week to start and I'm eating super healthy. (I'm secretly hoping it will help with TTC of course) Maybe finding a class you love would help you get back into it! @nasah15 I LOVE all of the foods you listed!! Fx you get your positive OPK. Why does TTC have to be so hard?! ):
@meladams10 we do stuffed peps a lot, one of my faves too!
@kimberbeep funfetti is ok but have you had rainbow chip (Betty Crocker)? OMG.
@nasah15 sorry about your wonky cycle. Hope YH can cheer you up!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: charting & I did an opk yesterday
R/R: I keep thinking I ovulated but my temps aren’t rising. *TW child mentioned* idk if it’s because of MOTN nursing (sleep sucks rn) but I take my temp in the same 30 minute window every day. I had brown spotting yesterday (consistent with o day for me I think) and pains & what I think was a pos opk. It was my first time doing one and the lines were the same darkness but not the same thickness. I have cramping this morning but might be from vigorous N&C last night (which is also frustrating bc MH couldn’t finish due to pressure). Idk what’s going on. I probably just need to wait a couple days and stop symptom spotting but I’m worried we will have missed our window since the last N&C was CD13. We’re going to try to do it again tonight but idk if MH will be able
GTKY: What is your favourite food? Pizza, avocado toast, Thai red curry
@meladams10 - I've tried having a gym membership and trying to go for classes but it never works out. Also trying to eat healthy to lose a couple pounds - it's been made very difficult by the fact that my husband actually needs to eat more to GAIN weight!
@flyingmombula - Sorry you had a rough night last night, I'm sure that's frustrating. I hope you an your husband are able to relax and enjoy your time together instead of feeling pressured.
@flyingmombula I believe for OPKs you don't have to pay attention to the thickness of the lines, only how dark the line itself is! Are you using pink dye OPKs? I find those to be much easier to read than the blue dye! I hope you and your DH can get things worked out. It is a ton of pressure. Can you schedule a date night or something special to take his mind off TTC? @josie12367 Yay for AF moving the heck on! (: I hope my AF follows yours!
Thanks @kimberbeep & @meladams10. We’re not really upset about it (at least I’m not, hope he’s not)— it happens. & yeah I used the pink FR one and it was very dark. Will it be too late to do it tonight when he gets home from work if O day is actually today? I know it takes some time for them to swim. & I guess if it is today 3 days out isn’t that terrible of timing. Meh.
@elothair Safe travels! Going anywhere fun for the work trip? @catlady2015 That pizza recipe sounds fabulous! Sorry about all the work meetings. @meladams10 Good for you for getting healthy! That's always a challenge. @kimberbeep I had trouble getting out of bed this morning too! Those big, soft comforters just don't want to let you go. Plus I had a sleepy, purring kitty in the bed. @nasah15 Sorry about the frustrating cycle! @flyingmombula Yum, I love red curry! @josie12367 *hugs* Here's hoping this cycle isn't too long for you! @Stargazer1lily We got a ton of snow too! I have to excavate my car today. Not looking forward to it. ----------------------------
Month/Cycle: 11/12
CD: -2 (WFAF after stopping progesterone)
WAYDTGKU: This month, just lots of sex and maybe opks.
R/R: Still feeling bummed out over a third failed IUI. MH and I are taking a couple of months off from medical intervention and trying to reduce our stress level. I won't be temping or anything, but might use opks. I was supposed to have an all-day event at work today, but it was canceled due to weather, so I'll just be home doing laundry. Fun times!
GTKY: What is your favourite food? Sushi is a strong contender. Also chocolate.
R/R: So excited FW lined up with DHs "weekend" since it falls on a Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Otherwise I would be waking up at 12am-1am to get it on. No rants today
GTKY: What is your favourite food? too many to list but pretty much all carbs, pizza, pasta, mac and cheese, yumm. @elothair Safe travels! @catlady2015 A day full of meetings just sounds draining, sorry @meladams10 Love the motivation you have for getting healthy! I am doing the same but its been hard! @kimberbeep LOL I thought I was the only one who did the whole tape the opk to a piece of paper. Glad to see others do this as well. It totally makes it easier to see when it is truly positive! @nasah15 Burgers and fries yum @flyingmombula Sorry your H couldnt finish due to the pressure. It has happened to us too. @josie12367 So glad AF has packed up and left! @Stargazer1lily I hope you have a snowblower for all that snow or are you doing it by hand? @darkstar42 I am so sorry about the failed IUI, take care of yourself.

I'm sure you're not the only one feeling that way about so many meetings.... @meladams10 I used to LOVE body pump - way to go on the workouts and healthy eating! Hope AF is on it's way out soon! @nasah15 sorry about the long cycle @flyingmombula YES on rainbow chip. YES YES YES. @josie12367 Fx AF is done for this cycle! @darkstar42 so sorry about your failed IUI @kimberbeep what about a workout program app? there's so much stuff you can do right in your living room!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 16 or 17. Really freaking hoping for a pos OPK this afternoon
WAYDTGKU: OPK, Pom juice, BBT (sort of)
R/R: None. My head is just so in the TTC game right now and I really need to redirect it back to work.
GTKY: What is your favourite food? All the things, but if f I have to pick one, probably ceviche. If not...Tacos, steak, buttercream frosted cookies and cupcakes, ice cream, avocado toast, and everything else.
CD: 14! Do I get to leave soon? JK I know that's not how it works.
WAYD: BBT, occasional N&C
R/R: No signs of EWCM here. Blah.
GTKY: You expect me to choose one favorite food? Out of all the delicious food in the world?? Okay, well. I like panna cotta. And it's really easy to make, and change up the flavors.

Month/Cycle: 14/12
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: BBT/CM, diet
R/R: I'm wondering if I'm even going to ovulate this cycle, so I'm a little bummed about that. I'm a bit of a pessimist sometimes.
GTKY: this is too hard. I love pretty much any type of Indian or Thai food. Also pizza..
Lurking @krissy2241 I felt the same way this cycle. Then out of no where I got cramps like I was hit by a truck and a without-a-doubt positive opk. FX it happens soon for you!
Thanks all for the safe travel wishes - made it safe and now waiting for my co-workers flight to come in before heading out for our meetings.
@catlady2015 That pizza sounds amazing! I love making pizza at home but have never thought to try a stuffed crust - will be doing that soon! @meladams10 Ugh, sorry for the wonky cycle. I hope it all goes away soon! @kimberbeep I find the OPKs all dry to a similar darkness so I try and take pictures of them to keep for reference now instead of the actual sticks. Although you can definitely tell a difference when it's made a big change! @nasah15 Do you normally O late in your cycle? Mine is always late as well- super annoying. @flyingmombula I always have to make way more of an effort during my FW than the rest of the time because DH knows it purposeful sex and it totally kills the mood for him! @josie12367 Woohoo for AF finally leaving!!! @darkstar42 Nope - up to the frozen North in a bit of a podunk town in the middle of nowhere. It will be good to connect with families in these more remote areas but seriously the worst time of year to visit! I hope the break does wonders for you to relieve stress - I stopped temping this month and it is so freeing and I am sleeping so much better! @kobrien827 Hooray for FW timing working out! Mine never lines up perfectly with our schedules it seems so we have to come up with creative timing! @chopchop25 FX for a positive OPK!
@elothair - we actually do a double stuffed crust. we use both mozzarella and cheddar sticks. You can just do mozzarella and it's delicious, but we've done the double and it was so good we try to only do the double. if you try it, let me know what you think!
@elothair glad to hear you made it safe! Have fun on your work trip. @catlady2015 I hear you with all these meetings...I have been in back to back meeting all day today since 8am..when am I supposed to get all my actual work done!? @meladams10 I love body pump classes! Unfortunately the gym we go to now doesn’t really have a body pump, it’s more of a step aerobics and I’m not coordinated enough for that. I really enjoy the spin classes tho, they are tough but always a good workout. @kimberbeep FX it is a positive opk (I haven’t tried them yet so I’m no help interpreting )! And I’m super jealous of all your fluffy bedding...enjoy! @nasah15 Sorry about the lack of positive opks, FX it is on its way soon! @flyingmombula Sorry about your night last night. I hope you guys can relax and enjoy each other tonight @Stargazer1lily Hopefully you can at least enjoy the snow! @darkstar42 Sorry to hear about the failed IUI. Hopefully some time off will give you and YH some time to relax and not feel so much pressure. @kobrien827 Yay for a well time FW, GL to you!! @chopchop25 FX for a pos opk!! @PensiveCrayon FX you get to leave WTO soon @krissy2241 Sorry to hear you are bummed about this cycle...hang in there!!
Month/Cycle: 2/2 CD: 14 WAYDTGKU: N&C, pnvs, tracking cycle R/R: I’ve had a super busy day at work today with meetings all day. Making some progress on some of my projects so that is definitely a rave! And of course, trying to enjoy FW no rants today. GTKY: My favorite food is definitely a nice, creamy Mac and Chrese (with bacon)!
Jumped the gun and took an OPK at lunch. I feel like the line is getting even fainter and am getting more worried I peaked at beginning of FW and missed it. One more day or so left for a +. I am going to be so upset if we missed this cycle
R/R: used the fancy schmancy Clearblue connected OPK this morning. Results were still low, of course, wasn’t expecting anything else, O is usually CD19. It makes you start testing early to get baselines. I am impressed by the technology, it worked exactly like the instructions said. The app notifies me when to test, and it calculates and gives you a result on the screen of the device and then sends it to your phone so it tracks everything for me. Pretty handy! Maybe old news to some of you but I’m impressed and highly recommend, especially for irregulars like me that have a hard time reading OPKs.
CS/Q: nada
GTKY: ugh I can’t choose this! I generally love savory stuff like pizza
@flyingmombula ugh I’m sorry about OPKs being weird, I’d trust the darkness of the test line despite thickness but that is weird, never had thickness vary really. What type you using? And now I sound like a broken record but try the Clearblue connected to avoid confusion! Lol.
@josie12367 sorry for long AF. Is that something that happens regularly?
@chopchop25 right there with you being distracted by TTC. I was able to enjoy the past week or so once AF finally came and went and I was able to just call this a new cycle. I feel like WTO gives me much needed reprieve from the craziness that TWW brings. On the other hand - the faintness might be because it wasn’t FMU. I know some places say it doesn’t matter with OPKs but the Clearblue one I’m using says specifically to use FMU.
@pensivecrayon do you always get EWCM? I am beginning to think my body just doesn’t produce it. I’ve seen it once or twice in the past 27 months I’ve been off BCP. I have to rely on OPKs and BBT.
@leafyarch Actually, not really since coming off HBC! Before I definitely did, then I was on it for 6 years before TTC #1.
*TW KID STUFF*
We conceived A in 4 cycles — one appeared to be anovulatory but H was out of town anyway so (insert "who knows" emoji that made the entire rest of my paragraph disappear). I don't really remember having a whole lot of EWCM. I haven't been on HBC since going off of it initially, and I only just got my period back in December, so the TL;DR is that I have no idea what's going on with my body, yay.

@catlady2015 that pizza sounds so yummy! DH loves pizza, will try it with the two cheese
@elothair i only started using OPK last month and had a positive at CD 17
@leafyarch anywhere from 29-35 days. Last 2 months it was 29, before that for 2 months it was in the 34/35. I dont know if this is just an anovulatory cycle. Till when should i keep testing?
@leafyarch it was a FR. I took another one to compare and I’m an idiot.. it was the test line that is just thicker and it was definitely positive. the clear blue connected sounds cool! There’s so much gear with TTC. I’m new to it but already a POAS addict.
@nasah15 I think my cycles are following a pattern sort of like that too! 3 28 day ones, then the last one was 31 days. I think this one is going to be another longer one since I haven’t got a clear O yet.
@pensivecrayon I’m sorry you’re going through that. It took me 7 months to get AF back after being on BCP for 10 years. What was I thinking?!
@nasah15 I have that same range, and remember your LP could be shorter than “normal”. Mine is 12 days. My cycle averages 31 days but recently they have been anywhere from 29-35 days like yours. Which mean if my LP stays intact I can ovulate anywhere from CD17 to CD23. Keep testing, I’ll keep fx!
@flyingmombula hahaha we’ve all been there. POAS away!!! Or wait, P away OAS?! What’s a better acronym, POASA OR PAOAS? Lol. (I’m tired)
edit because I suck at math.

WAYDTGKU: charting & I did an opk yesterday
R/R: I keep thinking I ovulated but my temps aren’t rising. *TW child mentioned* idk if it’s because of MOTN nursing (sleep sucks rn) but I take my temp in the same 30 minute window every day. I had brown spotting yesterday (consistent with o day for me I think) and pains & what I think was a pos opk. It was my first time doing one and the lines were the same darkness but not the same thickness. I have cramping this morning but might be from vigorous N&C last night (which is also frustrating bc MH couldn’t finish due to pressure). Idk what’s going on. I probably just need to wait a couple days and stop symptom spotting but I’m worried we will have missed our window since the last N&C was CD13. We’re going to try to do it again tonight but idk if MH will be able
GTKY: What is your favourite food?
Pizza, avocado toast, Thai red curry
CD: 12

@catlady2015 I hear you with all these meetings...I have been in back to back meeting all day today since 8am..when am I supposed to get all my actual work done!?
@meladams10 I love body pump classes! Unfortunately the gym we go to now doesn’t really have a body pump, it’s more of a step aerobics and I’m not coordinated enough for that. I really enjoy the spin classes tho, they are tough but always a good workout.
@kimberbeep FX it is a positive opk (I haven’t tried them yet so I’m no help interpreting
@nasah15 Sorry about the lack of positive opks, FX it is on its way soon!
@flyingmombula Sorry about your night last night. I hope you guys can relax and enjoy each other tonight
@Stargazer1lily Hopefully you can at least enjoy the snow!
@darkstar42 Sorry to hear about the failed IUI. Hopefully some time off will give you and YH some time to relax and not feel so much pressure.
@kobrien827 Yay for a well time FW, GL to you!!
@chopchop25 FX for a pos opk!!
@PensiveCrayon FX you get to leave WTO soon
@krissy2241 Sorry to hear you are bummed about this cycle...hang in there!!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: N&C, pnvs, tracking cycle
R/R: I’ve had a super busy day at work today with meetings all day. Making some progress on some of my projects so that is definitely a rave! And of course, trying to enjoy FW
GTKY: My favorite food is definitely a nice, creamy Mac and Chrese (with bacon)!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: all the acronyms, preseed, pregnitude
R/R: used the fancy schmancy Clearblue connected OPK this morning. Results were still low, of course, wasn’t expecting anything else, O is usually CD19. It makes you start testing early to get baselines. I am impressed by the technology, it worked exactly like the instructions said. The app notifies me when to test, and it calculates and gives you a result on the screen of the device and then sends it to your phone so it tracks everything for me. Pretty handy! Maybe old news to some of you but I’m impressed and highly recommend, especially for irregulars like me that have a hard time reading OPKs.
CS/Q: nada
GTKY: ugh I can’t choose this! I generally love savory stuff like pizza
@elothair have a safe trip!
@catlady2015 ugh the curse of the meetings that should have been an email, am I right?
@meladams10 ugh sorry for your wacky cycle, I hate those!
@kimberbeep I was in that club! You’d love the Clearblue connected
@nasah15 what’s your “average” cycle?
@flyingmombula ugh I’m sorry about OPKs being weird, I’d trust the darkness of the test line despite thickness but that is weird, never had thickness vary really. What type you using? And now I sound like a broken record but try the Clearblue connected to avoid confusion! Lol.
@josie12367 sorry for long AF. Is that something that happens regularly?
@stargazer1lily jealous of your snow!
@darkstar42 I’m so sorry about the IUI. Enjoy your day at home.
@kobrien827 yay for timing!
@chopchop25 right there with you being distracted by TTC. I was able to enjoy the past week or so once AF finally came and went and I was able to just call this a new cycle. I feel like WTO gives me much needed reprieve from the craziness that TWW brings. On the other hand - the faintness might be because it wasn’t FMU. I know some places say it doesn’t matter with OPKs but the Clearblue one I’m using says specifically to use FMU.
@pensivecrayon do you always get EWCM? I am beginning to think my body just doesn’t produce it. I’ve seen it once or twice in the past 27 months I’ve been off BCP. I have to rely on OPKs and BBT.
@krissy2241 fx for O soon!
@spartan4life yay for FW. Fx it’s the one!
Finally TTC#1 as of 11/2017!

*TW KID STUFF*
We conceived A in 4 cycles — one appeared to be anovulatory but H was out of town anyway so (insert "who knows" emoji that made the entire rest of my paragraph disappear). I don't really remember having a whole lot of EWCM. I haven't been on HBC since going off of it initially, and I only just got my period back in December, so the TL;DR is that I have no idea what's going on with my body, yay.

@elothair i only started using OPK last month and had a positive at CD 17
@leafyarch anywhere from 29-35 days. Last 2 months it was 29, before that for 2 months it was in the 34/35. I dont know if this is just an anovulatory cycle. Till when should i keep testing?
@nasah15 I think my cycles are following a pattern sort of like that too! 3 28 day ones, then the last one was 31 days. I think this one is going to be another longer one since I haven’t got a clear O yet.
@nasah15 I have that same range, and remember your LP could be shorter than “normal”. Mine is 12 days. My cycle averages 31 days but recently they have been anywhere from 29-35 days like yours. Which mean if my LP stays intact I can ovulate anywhere from CD17 to CD23. Keep testing, I’ll keep fx!
@flyingmombula hahaha we’ve all been there. POAS away!!! Or wait, P away OAS?! What’s a better acronym, POASA OR PAOAS? Lol. (I’m tired)
edit because I suck at math.
