GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's WTO) What game show would you totally rock at?
R/R: finally coming out of a week long lull at work. I need it, I've been very unproductive and I need to get my focus back.
CS/Q: So I forced FF yesterday to take O on Friday, but I put in my temps today and changed the detector back to see if it changed and it now thinks I ovulated thursday, but dotted crosshairs. Any thoughts, ladies? Kind of hoping for Thursday b/c my timing would be even better but then I started the progesterone on 4dpo instead of 3. chart in spoiler if anyone wants to stalk.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's WTO) What game show would you totally rock at? I'd be really good at Wheel of Fortune, and pretty good at The Price is Right. But I have always wanted to play Press Your Luck and I know it's been off the air for 30 years but no whammy, no whammy, no whammy, stop!
Testing: I’m trying to hold out until Friday (11 dpo)
R/R: If I’m successful this cycle, my due date
would be New Year’s Eve!! Having special due dates always makes me feel like it’s
meant to be. I’m going to try and go running in the work gym today. I hate
being sweaty at work, but it is the only time I have to work out.
CS/Q: Not temping this month.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's WTO) What game
show would you totally rock at? I haven’t watched a lot of game shows so I’ll
have to say The Price is Right. I have always wanted to spin that wheel!
@catlady2015
I hate not knowing the exact date of O. Do you usually O the day of your + OPK
or the day after? If I had to choose, I would say that Thursday looks right to
me.

@eleven_ - You can hold out! I know it's hard. Hope you get your sweat in over lunch! If I don't do it early and wait till after work, it won't happen.
I usually O the day after the positive OPK, but I had some sharp pains on my left side on Thursday night so Thursday is also possible. Either way our timing's pretty good. I just hate not knowing when to expect AF to show.
R/R: My temp rose again today. Yesterday's cool temperatures made my temp drop to coverline so FF took away my solid crosshairs to dotted crosshairs and to a different day. But it's back to being solid crosshairs on my original day.
CS/Q: nope.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's WTO) What game show would you totally rock at? Wheel of Fortune but I also like the old school Card Sharks.
@catlady2015 I’m clearly no expert, but I would say that Thursday looks pretty good. Or, I don’t know if this could be possible, maybe you actually ovulated in the middle of the night between T/F? Not sure how FF would interpret that.
@eleven_ A New Years Eve due date would be awesome! That has to be good luck right? Plus if you get lucky, you could get a 2018 tax write-off.

R/R: I woke up with cramps like before AF so I’m just waiting for the bloodshed to begin.
CS/Q: Nothing today
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's WTO) What game show would you totally rock at? I like playing Jeopardy against BF. I’m a fast reader so I usually answer before he can. I’m not totally confident that I could actually compete against the people on the show though.
@eleven_ it’s still high, but I just feel like I’m out. I’ll post it in spoiler. Also, these new ads that pop up every time I try to comment or lovetit are killing me. I would normally just stop visiting a site with this many ads.
@catlady2015 From what I know temping for 4 years regularly and reading tcoyf, I'd say you ovulated on saturday (which makes your timing perfect) based on your temps, also judging by cm and opk. The next couple of temps should be able to confirm/deny ff's ch.
Month/Cycle: 5th medicated
CD/DPO: 15/1 (I think o happened last night because of ovulation pain and judging by +opk right before trigger on saturday; since my temps were all messed up, I'll have to get a 7 day test to be certain the trigger made it happen)
Timing: -5, -3, -2, 0 (am&pm) <--- @josie12367 when I was worn out, I thought, wwjd Thanks for all of your advice!

R/R: My mama is going back home today. I'm a bit sad.
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

R/R: Spotting has stopped but feeling kinda crampy so I am sure it will restart soon... as predicted went for a pee and spotting has resumed. TMI but its only light brown and seems to be getting lighter. I seem to be alternating between writing off this cycle then convincing myself that it is totally possible.
CS/Q: FF has given up on me, and telling me that it cannot explain my spotting.
GTKY: (stolen from yesterday's WTO) What game show would you totally rock at? We really don't get many game shows over here so imma say family feud as when I am home early enough to catch it I spend the whole time scoffing at the idiocy of everyone competing.
@lokibear89 I've been spotting for about 5 days before I get my period too. I planned on talking to my RE about it. My luteal phase is normal and I don't have low progesterone so I don't know if it's something I should be concerned about.
