Month/Cycle: 11/12

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: almost done bleeding, PNV, OPK's, HIO EOD, probably just relaxing this cycle

R/R: my dad and his wife will be here this afternoon so I have a bit of cleaning and straightening to do before they arrive and of course we decided to paint the basement yesterday so we've gotta finish that up and put the room back together. WFH just makes us notice all the little things that need to be done around here. I think I am going to just relax with all of the things for TTC this cycle. If it happens, it happens, if not we're starting a medicated cycle next cycle anyway.

CS/Q: nothing yet

I'll come back for tags when some more friends join me!

annnnnnd, it's snowing

daisy528 · October 2020

@krash_ snow?! Ugh. I’m so not ready for that yet!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: FF, bbt, prenatals, HIO EOD, OPKs

R/R: My rant is that my patience level is at an all time low today. Little things are really bugging me. I want to light a match to my house right now because it’s filthy and I don’t want to deal with it. My rave is I got my hair done last night, and I love it. Just got a partial foil, but it was enough to brighten it up!

CS/Q: question - OPKs. When do I start using them? I would assume a few days before when I think ovulation is?

chindimples04 · October 2020

@krash_ ew, snow is a swear word in this house. 🤣 I also feel you on the projects. I have 4 painting projects on my list!
@daisy528 I start using OPKs the first day after my period ends and then once a day until closer to my normal o day, when I switch to 3 times a day.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, HIO

R/R: It’s Friday! I plan on organizing the garage after my last Zoom today so I can actually park my car in the garage. There was frost and ICE on it this morning and I’m not here for that. We are supposed to have a warm up tomorrow so I am trying to figure out how I want to spend the day.

CS/Q: temps are being kind of weird right now. I don’t usually have two low dips like that.

Hi folks, apologies for being MIA yesterday, just flat out day/week at work!!

@krash_ ahh yep, we're supposed to get 10cm here today... haven't put my snow tires on yet!!!! Hating this weather!

@daisy528 if you've never used them before I'd suggest what @chindimples04 said - it's good to get a baseline for what to expect for the days leading up to O. Once you've done that for a few cycles you'll get a better sense of the best CD to start POAS (if you're still needing to after a few cycles, fx not). I just bought a box of 50 from Amazon for this reason - it's good to have a large stash on hand.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: Opks, temping until O is confirmed then stopping as it gives me anxiety and I find the temping is actually causing me to wake up multiple times in the AM panicking that I've missed the time to temp (which then makes my temps completely unreliable as I'm constantly waking every few hours!!! Just not going very well).

R/R: Glad AF is finally gone - have been so busy at work but so thankful the weekend is here!

CS/Q: None

Happy Friday, everybody!! 💃🏼

@krash_ Enjoy your visitors! I always do that where I get excited about starting lots of house projects...and then get overwhelmed with how much there is actually to do. Good luck with finishing the basement!
@daisy528 Sorry, but I laughed when you said you want to light a match due to your house being filthy. I feel you, girl! When it’s like that it’s so hard to get started. Take it one little project at a time. Maybe on the weekend when you have more patience. I second what @chindimples04 said for trying OPKs. I get the Pregmate brand off amazon since they’re so cheap & very reliable.

@chindimples04 Best of luck to you too with the garage clean-up! Y’all are making me feel guilty about the closet I still haven’t finished reorganizing.😄 I hope you decide on something fun for the warm-up tomorrow.

@canucklehead123 That makes total sense to stop temping after O to save your sanity. FWIW, your temp can be pretty reliable despite the time you take it as long as you’ve gotten a minimum of 3 hours’ sleep beforehand. Maybe that can help you feel less stressed about it in the future.

Month/Cycle: 29/your guess is as good as mine

CD: 19–I think I finally ovulated yesterday, but gonna hang out here until I get crosshairs

WAYDTGKU: Here’s the real list: FF, BBT, checking CM & CP, PNV w/Folate, extra Vit D3, Fish Oil/DHA, N-A-C, Calcium, Ubiquinol, DHEA, Baby Aspirin, Ovasitol, Lovenox, Medrol, and now LIT treatment.

R/R: Rant: I’ve been behind in my work all week because I’ve been busy & jet-lagged, and it’s just been a stressful feeling. Rave: It’s Friday & I’m gonna enjoy just chilling at home this weekend! No plans since we are on quarantine. I will finally finish my closet!

CS/Q: Finally getting some action here. I had strong ovulation cramps from 5-10 pm last night so feeling good about today’s temp increase.

hedgehoggin · October 2020

Hello! After lurking for a LONG time, I'd love to finally jump in and start posting. I'll introduce myself fully the next time there is an intro thread, but in short, my H and I are both 34 and TTC our first.

(I hope its OK to start participating even though I'm only at the very beginning of TTC?? From being a long-time participant in online communities on other topics, I can absolutely see how that could be annoying. :smile: )

Month/Cycle: 0/0? The IUD is finally out, just waiting for my next period and then will "officially begin" cycle 1.

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: charting/temping (trying out an app called Kindara), read TCOYF, just ordered some OPKs that I guess I'll try. Taking prenatal, vit D, fish oil.

R/R: Rant is that I've had a moody, unproductive week. But rave, we're celebrating our first wedding anniversary this weekend with a (socially distanced) night in a an overly-hip hotel. Can't wait to eat the blob that is our frozen leftover wedding carrot cake and enjoy whatever bougie organic/local/sustainable bath products they have.

CS/Q: No Q. For the life of me I can't figure out what CS stands for. :lol:

canucklehead123 · October 2020

@hedgehoggin welcome! So glad you've read TCOYF - that's the hands down best place to start!! CS stands for chart stalk (in case you just want to post a pic of your chart for folks to look at)!

keikilove · October 2020

@hedgehoggin You’re completely welcome here! If the IUD just came out then you are in the right place: Waiting To Ovulate. CS is what @canucklehead123 said. You can always post if you need help interpreting something on your chart. Most of us use the FertilityFriend app to chart, but other apps/charts are welcome too. We also post our charts because the more charts we all see, the more we know what looks “normal”. Happy anniversary! Enjoy your celebratory weekend & carrot cake—yum!
