Re: WTO weekend 2/2-2/3
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: hio, temping, opks
R/R: temp did not go up, so I guess I was wrong and did not O. Glad dh talked me in to hio. I have no plans until 7:30 tonight, which I am not looking forward to, and can’t convince myself to get out of bed. The cat isn’t helping, he’s too cuddly.
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, temping, CM, HIO
R/R: I had a positive OPK this morning! Excited at the very least that my cycle may be on the regular side this month, albeit longer than average. I've been having cramps, especially on my left side, so I'm also happy this probably means an imminent O. I was going to head to the doctor if I was going to experience these pains all cycle.
CS/Q: Does temp tend to spike before an O?
@sorarose Yay on the positive OPK! You can have temp rises and dips before O. I know I usually do. My temps always follow the same pattern: increase on -1, slight dip on O and significant rise on +1.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Temping, OPKs
R/R: Currently waiting for AF to get out of town. The past few days sucked, but it was the reality check I needed.

Month/Cycle: 7/6 (benched for 1 cycle, first AL)
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, temping, OPKs, HIO, SMEP(kind of), red raspberry leaf tea.
R/R: I am looking forward to a low-key weekend. DH and I are taking my mom out for dinner tonight, then tomorrow I have some papers to grade before the Super Bowl. I am making homemade chips and salsa and buffalo chicken calzone which I am really excited about! If you haven't tried Pioneer Woman's restaurant style salsa, I highly recommend it!
CS/Q: This is the most stable I have ever seen my temps. I guess that's good?
@sorarose sounds like your O is gearing up! i had the worst cramps this cycle too
@emeraldduchess it just occured to me this AM that i need to gather up some Superbowl snacks! your menu sounds delish
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: HIO, BBP, CP, CM
R/R: pretty sure O was yesterday. i had pretty horrific bloating and cramps, my waistband was bothering me! OPK positive 2 days in a row (with blazer CD 13) but no temp rise yet. waitin for the crosshairs...! super excited for this weekend as we are huge Pats fans and cheering them on never gets old. and beautiful weather this week. hoping the good vibes stick!
CS/Q: nothing to see. just inconsistent temps but hopefully it will be sufficient for FF to interpret

@sorarose Yay for positive OPK. I guess everyone is difference, but temp spike generally happens after O.
@klstone25 Hope AF leaves soon!
@emeraldduchess Oh your super bowl food sounds delicious!! Sounds like a fun weekend.
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD: 2.. boo!
WAYDTGKU: Ava, OPKs, SMEP, RLT, CM, fertility yoga, cutting back on caffeine
R/R: We have plans tonight to celebrate with SIL and her fiance.. they just got engaged last week! Looks like a big snowstorm headed our way for Sunday/Monday so probably won’t do too much else. Also, I made an appointment with an acupuncturist who is also an MD, so he can order some tests if he feels they’re necessary. I won’t see him until April, as there is a bit of a wait list. Looking forward to trying something new!
CS/Q: AF started yesterday evening around 10 pm.. so I counted yesterday as CD1. But I wasn’t sure if today should be CD 1 since it was so late yesterday? It probably won’t make a difference either way.

CS/Q: not today
@sorarose hope you get a confirmed ovulation soon!
@emeraldduchess your low key weekend sounds great, and I’m glad your temps are looking stable
@sevenn hope you get your crosshairs soon
@misshelen86 congrats to your SIL and her fiancé! Have fun celebrating with them. I go to bed before 10pm so I would’ve counted CD as the next morning when I discovered it, but your right it probably doesn’t matter all that much
@littleredm that is so cute! Love it!
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: BBT, FF, CM, red raspberry leaf tea, essential oil diffusing
R/R: not much going on this weekend and after traveling most weekends last month I could not be happier about that. Tonight our plans are to watch a movie at home and maybe go out to dinner first (leaning more towards take out though!)
CS/Q: temps are looking stable for the 4th day in a row now
@sorarose - Hooray for O!
@holly321 - cuddling on a Saturday morning sounds lovely!
Month/Cycle: 2
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK's, FF, pnv
R/R: Rant- this visit from AF has been rough and it's only day 3. I've been waking up at 4:30- 5:30 in the morning the past 3 days with intense cramps. It's been throwing my temps off. I've been super moody and tired. I'm glad the only thing I have to do today is take dinner to a neighbor whose family is all sick (and it's already cooking in the crockpot). Rave- I've been able to keep my house clean for the past two weeks and that's a big deal for me!
CS/Q: Nothing today
edit: fixed tags
@kopp5988 I hope you enjoyed your night!
@littleredm, that is too cute!
@misshelen86, I hope you enjoy celebrating your SIL. I would probably count next day as AF. And it was a bowling birthday party, for a child, so why so late?
@sorarose Usually temp rise is after O, and I believe current research is showing some women actually don’t see a rise until 24-36 hours after O. That’s why OPKs, CM, and CP are all helpful in predicting and confirming O. It makes me feel all
