Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT, OPKs, HIO

R/R: DH woke me up at 6:30 just to tell me our dog had a tick on him. Could that seriously not wait until I woke up on my own? It’s not like I’m going to jump it off bed to pull it off right away. 🤬🤬🤬 We are doing Christmas card photos this morning and his parents are coming over for dinner tonight. So I need to find time to clean my house, too.

CS/Q: post coital temp spike today 🤣

GTKY: What would you eat if you only had one meal left?

T-bone steak with Montreal steak seasoning and sautéed mushrooms, green beans, peas, pineapple, alfredo pasta, a big Cherry Pepsi, and a cookie cake for dessert. I’ve thought about this. 🤣

@chindimples04 lol a tick on the dog would actually get me racing out of bed. I hate them and having to pull them off our pets. Looks like you have a busy day ahead!

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: charting and opks

R/R: Fell asleep on the couch last night meaning no OPK and no temp this morning since I woke up at 4 and knew walking to the bedroom would falsely elevate it 😂 oh well, in better news I’ve been up since 4 and have done laundry, worked out, and took the dog for a walk with MH. If I get nothing else done today, at least I was productive this morning!

CS/Q: didnt temp and negative OPK this morning so nothing to see...

GTKY: What would you eat if you only had one meal left? Scallops, mashed potatoes, and a coke. Mashed potatoes are my favorite thing in the entire world 😂

paytonpedro · November 2020

@chindimples04 when I first read the gtky I had my meal picked out but you mentioning the steak... it’s making my choice difficult lol. My husband would wake me up for a tick too, because I’m the dog person, but he never lets the dogs out in the morning sooo the chances are slim anyways.

@fameonmain2 I’m always most productive in the morning! Although I was up at 4 and laid in bed dozing until 5:50 when my alarm for work went off lol.

Month/Cycle: 2

CD: 18

WAYDTGKU: bbt opk

R/R: I’m still here. 😑

My boss signed the paperwork to sell his practice and I found out all the information this morning. I’m devastated. I’ve been sitting at work all morning holding back tears and almost started crying when he was telling me what’s up. I’ll hash it out on the phone with my husband on my way home but I’m thinking at this point I’ll give it a try staying put. if I just can’t do it I’ll go to another practice that has already offered me a job and I would be comfortable moving to. Go figure my boss was a dick this morning making it even harder to be here. I just want to run.

CS/Q: I have absolutely no idea what is going on. Like no clue. Surely all this stress is forking me up. I would have expected a temp rise days ago. I know my temping has been spot on. My boobs have been hurting (which I know means nothing).I’m putting opks here again so they’re next to my chart. Can someone help me please?

GTKY: What would you eat if you only had one meal left?

I would say pizza and wings all day, but only from Buffalo. But after I read chindimples choice, a filet would be great, or even pho. I love food too much. I’ll stick with my gut choice though and say pizza and wings.

krash_ · November 2020

@chindimples04 we also had family photos today. I’m anxious to get them back so I can actually send out Christmas cards at a reasonable time with year. Usually I’m cutting it pretty close.

@fameonmain2 you have been productive! I definitely would have crawled back in bed.

@paytonpedro honestly I would say you O’d on CD 16 and it usually takes about three days to see the temp jump and you might have a slow rise. Where there any inconsistencies pre-O that could be throwing your chart off?

Month/Cycle: 12/13

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: letrozole + TI + ovidrel + monitoring + PNV

R/R: we had family pictures this morning and I actually think they might have turned out really nice so I’m excited. I usually hate the way I look in photos, even professional ones, but I practiced my smile and face before hand so I think I might have nailed it. Or I’ll look crazy 🤷🏼‍♀️ I think I’m going to spend the rest of the weekend slowly putting away fall stuff and putting up Christmas stuff. Thanksgiving is late this year so I feel like it’s ok to do Christmas before. So far I haven’t had any side effects from the letrozole so that’s good.

CS/Q: none

GTKY: What would you eat if you only had one meal left? This is tough. Probably also a really good steak. Like a seared filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes and red wine with a creme brûlée for dessert.

paytonpedro · November 2020

@krash_ cd 4 I got and started using a new thermometer. I wasn’t going to but I figured I’d get enough days before o for it to be fine. Don’t the temps have to be above the cover line to be considered a rise?

Such a good idea to practice faces before pictures lol. I always extend my neck forward and I hate it. I also hate pictures of myself.

krash_ · November 2020

@paytonpedro if your temps before O were inconsistent they might be higher than your coverline effecting how significant your rise looks. Or you just have a slow rise and it will take a few days to have temps consistently above your coverline.

chindimples04 · November 2020

@fameonmain2 your productivity this morning is admirable! I definitely would have woken up earlier than 4:00am. You must have a super comfy couch.
@paytonpedro I’m sorry you are so stressed out about it all. I hope that’s not what’s causing your body’s confusing signals.
@krash_ I hope your weather was better than ours for pictures (if yours were outdoor). My goal was also to get cards out in a timely fashion this year. 🤞🏼

GIF of my reaction to a positive OPK 4 days earlier than normal. Guess I’m glad we HIO last night since I was clearly not expecting this! 🤣

emeraldcity1214 · November 2020

@paytonpedro If you don’t get a temprise tomorrow I would assume it is a failed ovulation attempt. Positive OPKs don’t guarantee ovulation. It just lets you know you had a hormone surge. Your CM can dry up without ovulation then reappear at the next ovulation attempt. I have had charts where I had a failed ovulation attempt and then ovulated a week or so later. I don’t see a slow rise. Your temp would rise .1 above the highest of the previous 6 temps each day until it was at least .3 above the highest of those 6 temps. Then it would stay elevated above your coverline. With any temp shift your temp needs to rise above the coverline and stay above the line until your LP comes to an end. It can dip below once or twice but it shouldn’t stay below the coverline.

paytonpedro · November 2020

@krash_ @emeraldcity1214 thank you both! All you ladies are so helpful!! My temp this morning was a little higher, I’ll pop my chart below.

@emeraldcity1214 makes sense what you were saying about a failed ovulation attempt. I’ve heard about that before but didn’t really put it together with my chart. Today temp is the higher than that one wacky high one in the proliferative phase.

@chindimples04 definitely starting to feel like all the stress is playing a role this month. I’ve about given up. Yay for your positive opk and for perfectly timed sex!!

chindimples04 · November 2020

Checking in again today because I like to. ❤️

@paytonpedro I’d be interested to see what Fertility Friend would say about all of this. I feel like Premom does a really crappy job predicting sometimes. Even with my two positive OPKs, Premom still says I won’t ovulate for another 4 days.

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, PNVs, should probably HIO again tonight.

R/R: we already got our Christmas card photos back so I ordered those prints and Christmas cards last night. I also stared decorating for Christmas yesterday because I’m not hosting thanksgiving and 2020 sucks, so there. 🤣

CS/Q: little temp spike today. Guessing today is ovulation day.

emeraldcity1214 · November 2020

@paytonpedro if your temp stays elevated this could definitely be a shift. I hope it is. That was a long delay if it is but that’s not unusual. When I use a regular BBT my shift is delayed 3 days.

fameonmain2 · November 2020

@paytonpedro like others have said, it could be stress, it could be a slow rise. Are you still using OPKs? When I first got off BC my first two cycles were textbook, 28 days with ovulation day 14-15. Then the third cycle I had a positive OPK around day 14 with no temp rise and then another on day 20 with a temp rise. I thought I was stressed but then this past cycle I didn't get a positive OPK until day 20 and I'm still waiting on my positive OPK this cycle so I'm thinking that this is more of my norm. I don't know if any of that is helpful to you, but I figured I would share just in case!

@krash_ I hope your pictures came out great! Also, I'm adding creme brûlée to my list to mine now that I saw yours. It's one of my favorite deserts, I always get it when MH and I decide to order desert.

@chindimples04 I'm not sure if the couch is comfy or it's just that this room is super warm (we have a fireplace in the living room) so I stay cozy, haha. Also, impressive on already ordering the Christmas cards! I'm hoping to get them done in the days following Thanksgiving...

Follow @chindimples04's lead and posting again today because why not

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD: 18

WAYDTGKU: charting, opks

R/R: MH and I are the best place we have ever been in our marriage, and his excitement about getting as many sessions in during my FW is really helping right now. He keeps asking if I'm in my FW and if our timing is right. I'm really happy about this bc there had to be some convincing from me to start ttc now instead of in a year. Now that it's already been 6 months, I'm really glad we started trying when we did.

CS/Q: nothing yet... hoping to get a positive OPK in the next couple of days.

paytonpedro · November 2020

@chindimples04 I use a few different apps and I’ll probably start that one next cycle. Premom was saying I ovulated in spite of all neg opks and there is now way to manually change the luteal phase length. I do like the opk help though.

You chart is gorgeous.

@emeraldcity1214 yes. I’ve had a couple long delays but usually only a day or two. This one is longer than my normal but I have been extremely stressed out.

@fameonmain2 I haven’t used an opk today just because the one was so dark and then they dropped down again. And honestly I forgot or I probably would. I’m just going to keep blaming it on stress. I haven’t been on birthcontrol in years and I’ve been temping since may. I’m thinking after this cycle, I could have had so many of the other ones wrong just tracking bbt.

You husband sounds like the absolute sweetest and it’s so great you guys are in such a good place! Also, good thing you convinced him to start eagle pier than he wanted to!
