WAYDTGKU: I've tracked my cycle (symptoms, body changes, no temping tho) for 3 years. So right now I'm using that data to track O. We'll see how that goes tho.

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: BBT, also recently started one cycle of ovusense but apparently I'm too type A to let go of my BBT also, OPK's and all the other fertile signs - also I started inositol last cycle and I went from ovulating on average of CD40-50 to CD24 so I was pretty pumped about that.

I'm a nurse manager for a private family, which I love.I have one crazy kitty. I love to exercise via any form - yoga, running, bodypump. I also love crafting but haven't had much time for that lately as we've moved several times over the last couple years.

@mindyb2019 welcome! Fellow Canadian here (I'm in the Toronto area). Great idea for your GTKY (get to know you) today, we may have to borrow that again for a future thread. Always happy when the lurkers decide to join us, feel free to jump into the dailies when you're ready - WTO (waiting to ovulate) is for the days leading up to ovulation, and then you'd move over to TWW (two week wait) once you've confirmed ovulation.
