    @b_1029 I would love for today to be O day timing wise so I’m hoping the almost positive OPK is a good sign. I’ll probably take one every time I pee now haha. I’m so excited for you this cycle and glad things are getting started! I missed you yesterday, but I agree WTO has been so busy. But I don’t think anyone would mind if you post when you can and not reply to everyone! It’s not like you are going to post and not reply to one person ever!

    @bows22 I use wondfo along with CB for accuracy. I use light box on FF to measure how close the control line is to the test line. It’s a great feature on FF!

    @bows22 I always did, I mean the surge had to happen sometime right? Lol but I’d test later today too. And see if it’s positive. Have a good weekend!

    @b_1029 That needle sounds terrible! Hope you have a good weekend!

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD: 12

    WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, maca, prenatals

    R/R: I’m working this weekend. I haven’t been there in two weeks, so I’m kind of dragging this morning. Meh 

    CS/Q: OPKS are getting darker. I imagine I’ll have a positive later today.

    @ejoseph16 @photographerwife thanks! I just wasn’t sure if FMU is too concentrated that it could show a false positive. Drinking water now and will be testing my diluted pee shortly hahaha. 

    @photographerwife I hope you have a productive weekend!

    @mamaqdubu that’s a tragedy about your donut!! I’m so sad for you haha

    @bows22 I always use FMU with wondfo even though you’re not supposed to. When I did SMU I never got a positive even though I did on CB, I think that’s just how my body functions? Not sure.

    @mamaqdubu I am! I haven’t worked steady weddings in a while though!* They are a lot of fun, it’s just a supper busy field with a ton of work! I’m actually working at the bank this weekend. I work “less than part time” * 
    Not since right before DS was born in 2017!

    - and stay at home without my son during the week! 
     Super bummed about your donut though! That’s how my cheats always go! :( it’s rarely ever as good as you hope!

    @shamrocandroll thanks! I knew there was a reason you weren’t supposed to use FMU and I thought it was maybe because urine was too concentrated. So thank you for the FF explanation because that makes total sense. I take them like 3 times a day though. Especially now because I always buy the combo pack with HPTs but I am out of those and have a bunch of OPKs left, I won’t let myself buy another combo pack until I need OPKs too. So I try to use them up hah.

    @shamrocandroll Yay for non-TTC sexy time! TTGP drill sergeant made me laugh! Unfortunately I'm away from DH until tomorrow. Once I get back in town,  we'll probably just do EOD until AF comes just in case. 

    @millpe Honestly, I'm wondering if my HSG is throwing off O. I know it's not supposed to, but I've never had an an-o cycle before (that i know of). I'm glad for your O, and FX that today's HIO is perfect timing.

    @shamrocandroll you posted your update while I was typing so I totally missed it. I’m sure you look fine, but that story was so funny. Looks like vaginal temping is working out for sure! You must have a consistent blanket situation unlike me haha. 

    @millpe I like the positive outlook that saving up for 4 days might be the ticket. It totally could be!

    @shoogapoff oh how awesome would it be if your HSG delayed O enough that you will get some timing in??

    @bows22 I'm going against all hope that that is the case!

    Evening post but can't help but memorialize CD 1 :(

    @bows22 - I'd call it positive if it's darker than control line.  Love my wondfos
    @b_1029 - ugh, needles are nasty.  glad you got through it!
    @mvt2003 - LOL to drunk chart.  
    @inthewoods23 - omgg that meal sounds like perfect.  <3 leftovers
    @shoogapoff - i'm impressed with your water charting!  nice idea and instills accountability ;)
    @millpe - fx for O!
    @shamrocandroll - non FW sex is so therapeutic. ya know, like sex should be? 

    Month/Cycle: 9/10

    CD: 1

    WAYDTGKU: took my first FertilAid pill today.  Ugh.  Add OPK, CP, CM, BBT, soft cups and preseed to the mix.  Oh and I'm making DH start taking supplements.

    R/R: odd relief came with CD 1 today.  i was worried my LP would appear to drag on bc of early O that probably wasn't as late as I thought.  really hopeful that the fertilaid gives me a more normal follicular phase this cycle.

    CS/Q: zilch


    Me: 36 DH: 37
    Married May 2013
    TTC #1: April 2016 (Mirena removed March 2016 after 2.5 years)a
