What are you doing to get KU? Temping, cm, cp, opk's, pnv's
R/R/CS: My temp took a dive this morning. Against my better judgement I took it again immediately after and it was higher by 0.7 C. Ahhh...the temp difference is the difference between ovulation being detected and getting CH or not. I entered the first temperature and just made a note about the other, for my own reference. This is my first month temping and I think I will switch to vaginal next month. I am a mouth sleeper and FF says my temp fluctuations are higher than normal so, maybe that will help.
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? Just stuff around the house.

What are you doing to get KU? Temping
R/R/CS: my dog kept me up early this morning with all his whimpering. Now I'm really tired. It's going to be a long day.
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? I think this is the first weekend in a while that we don't have plans, so I guess I'll be doing a lot of house work.
I am going to be a whore and post both here and in the TWW until tomorrow.

What are you doing to get KU? I wanted to try to have sex ED, but we just couldn't make it happen yesterday.
R/R/CS: I was up for 3 hours last night with back pain. (I have chronic back and hip problems and will need surgery after I'm done having babies.) So I'm not 100% sure if my slight temp spike is due to poor sleep or not. But, to be honest, I have poor sleep pretty much every night, so there's that.
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? Dinner with friends tonight, Painting with a Twist tomorrow afternoon, possibly lunch with my family on Sunday plus grocery shopping and relaxing as much as possible.

What are you doing to get KU? EOD sex, bbt, pnv, cm
R/R/CS: none really. I'm relieved to have AF show up today. If you lurk on the TWW you may have seen the saga, but if not, long story short, my O date changed by a week which changed our timing, I got a BFP at 9 dpo then negatives after that, now AF is finally here after 40 days and a 15 day LP (I've never had a long cycle so it threw me off). Needless to say it was a very emotional and crazy cycle but I definitely learned a lot and I'm ready to get this cycle rolling!
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? I'm shooting an engagement session and doing copious amounts of laundry.
What are you doing? Nada except screaming at my ute to OVULATE already so I can have all the fun-er unprotected sex
RRCS: I feel like if my temps are still high by Monday I will admit that i ovulated at some point and my chart is just wacko
GTKY: busy weekend! Dinner tonight with a couple I don't know and DH lol winter carnival tomorrow and comedy night, Sunday is winter carnival again and my moms birthday dinner.
mynameiscarrie I was lurking on tww so I know you are pretty happy to see CD1. I hope this cycle is easier than the last.
craftytype I can't see your chart but if you had rocky/ high temps during your period you may want to see if discarding them will make FF more happy. I had to do that last cycle and that's when I got my crosshairs. You still may want to switch to vsginal temping since you are a mouth sleeper, but this might help with the interpretation of this cycle.

What are you doing to get KU? The usual things.
R/R/CS: random temp jump yesterday, but today's is much better. Still just going with the flow and hoping my body is balancing out since bcp.
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? We are going to try to do our taxes this weekend. It may be depressing again so there will be plenty of drinks!
What are you doing to get KU? BBT, cm, EOD sex, pnv, h2o
R/R/CS: I think my thermometer finally died. I'll pick up a new one Sunday at CVS but does anyone have any recs for a really good one I can get off Amazon?
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? Going into the city for dinner, then Sunday we're going to H's aunts house for dinner. Polish food FTW.
R/R/CS: I am nearly positive my opk was positive yesterday but my temp is still down today. So now I'm second guessing my interpretation. Oh well.
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? Shopping for wood floors. We are redoing our kitchen and I can't find a color I like. Total first world problems.

Most ladies here use the Mabis off of Amazon. I have one in my drawer but I'm waiting for my Target brand one to die before I start using the Mabis.

Most women ovulate 12-36 hours *after* a +OPK, so you likely wouldn't see raised temps yet if you just got your first +OPK yesterday. Keep temping and HIO until you see three raised temps. Good luck!
What are you doing to get KU? MH and I are trying to have sex as much as works for us. I got my first 2 blazing + Wondfo OPKs ever last night and today so I hope that this surge is the Big O. I even tried that she-Os-after-him for spermy spasm pushes last night. Plan to hit it once more in FW if this is indeed it, for 3x.
R/R/CS: I'm super pumped about the positive OPKs. MH is now really interested in learning about my surges and seeing how long we have till O. He likes learning which days to hit might be best.
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? Nothing!!!! Maybe a barre class at lululemon Sunday and brunch with my girlfriends. I love my winter down time!
mynameiscarrie - So sorry to hear what all you've been through last cycle, but congrats on finally getting to start the next one!
Cycle/Month: 2/2

What are you doing to get KU? Some sex (not as much as I would have hoped), temping, OPK
R/R/CS: My temp has been rising but a missing temp and a couple open circles are not helping get CH. And throughout the rise I've had +OPKs. Confused.
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? Taking care of my pup, who is being spayed today. She was SO upset that she wasn't fed this morning. Also going to dinner tomorrow with another couple for restaurant week, which should be fun.
Guise, I got dotted crosshairs for cd 25 (holy shit!!!!) but I don't quite believe it. I might lurk here for a couple days to make sure my temps don't act like Lucy with a football. But I'll at least do the GTKY:
I'm going wedding dress shopping with a close friend...I'm excited because she's doing a very private ceremony (originally at the courthouse, but now somewhere scenic in the city) with only immediate family, so this will be the only time I get to see her in person in the dress
mynameiscarrie - FX for a low-drama, successful cycle this time around! singingsea - Happy Birthday to your LO!! I have no idea what a bubble guppie is, but it sounds awesome!!
Cycle/Month: 7/6

What are you doing to get KU? Waiting for AF to exit stage left
R/R/CS: I am going to start temping vaginally this month since the last two months of oral temping never gave me CH on FF. I am ready to get started and excited to see how it goes!
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? Visiting some friends in PA and headed to my BFF's housewarming. It should be good times with old friends!
mynameiscarrie - hoping for a better cycle for you this go around!
Cycle/Month:6
CD: 25
What are you doing to get KU? Temping, EOD-ish sexing and hoping.
R/R/CS: UGH! I should have started temping earlier. This is only my second cycle temping. The last one actually resulted in a CP, so I'm not sure if this cycle will be screwy as a result. Last cycle I O on CD 24. And yesterday I had a spike, so I was hoping, if nothing else, my O day is consistent. But today, back down. Still no O. My cycles might be even longer than I had previously thought, or the CP last cycle might make this a weird cycle. Either way, particularly frustrated today feeling like I don't know my body.
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? In laws are coming in town, which will be super fun but mean less to no sexing. Gah.
R/R/CS: I've discovered a pattern in my chart already... the nights I drink I have really high temps in the morning. Not really the pattern I'm going for, but an interesting one.
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? Spinning class Saturday, installing a dishwasher, hopefully ice fishing. Laundry, laundry, laundry.

What are you doing to get KU? Nothing for a few days now.
R/R/CS: I just had a screwy chart this month and it was frustrating, plus H and I barely saw each other. But, I'm glad I didn't get my period at work yesterday, I had my 'period headache' all freakin day and was kicking myself because I didn't have pads/tampons/diva cup with me so I woulda been SOL.
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? No plans yet. I think I'll probably go get my new phone tomorrow, maybe some shopping. But nothing too exciting.
What are you doing to get KU? Same old, same old - temping/charting, sex, PreSeed, upping fluid intake
R/R/CS: I got nothing
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? I have to go to my first executive committee meeting with a nonprofit group I have started volunteering for; hope it goes okay! Other than that... Man U has a game on Sunday and I'll probably watch.
R/R/CS: Looks like I won't O while away. My CM is copious but not stretchy like my usual EWCM. Think my body did a gear up/fake out. Which is fine. We can get better timing when I get home.
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? I'm at my last day of this trade show in Scottsdale. Headed home on the red eye tonight. Barring any delays, I'll be seeing my baby by midday tomorrow. I can't wait to snuggle her, I miss her so much. That's what I plan to do, along with have the secks with MH, most of the weekend.
R/R/CS: One thing that has remained consistent since before the 14 yrs of BC was that I've always had a light period. What is strange is that because it's so light, it's sort of unclear when it stops, which is probably why I have such trouble figuring out when I'm actually ovulating. One question I haven't seen answered in my copious reading- do women normally get cramps after their FW (so like, when they ovulate and it's almost too late) or right before (so that cramps are a sign of time to sex it up)? Or does it differ for everyone? I'm learning a ton and if I don't get KU this cycle, I think I'll start temping next month.
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? I'm a real estate agent, so I have showings most of the day on Saturday. Then I'm helping DH finish my home office (we don't really talk about that since it was supposed to be done "by new year's" and I WFH). mtnmomma13 I feel your pain on the paint-- it's the only thing we fought about doing our living room two years ago. Sunday is more work on the office and then I have an event for a group I volunteer for.

I usually get cramps before I think I'm ovulating, but not always. After I ovulate I don't usually get cramps until a day or two before AF.
I have light, short periods and I'm fairly consistant at 28 day cycles, sometimes I'll hit a 30 day cycle sometimes 26. We try have sex ED CDs 10-16 to cover our bases.
I just started charting this month, so far it's been fine. I'm looking forward to seeing some cross hairs though!

Thanks! Appreciate the insight. Since going off BC I've been at 27/28 day cycle, but it was nowhere near that before. I'm not sure if hormones are still leaving my system or if I'm just normal now. I feel like a stranger in my own body sometimes. I never realized how BC kept me sane.

mynameiscarrie - I hope this cycle is less wonky for you!
tromeo - I have been reading up on this and ovulation pains can happen before, during or after you O. Last month I had a few hours of intense cramps and O-ed the next day but in the cycles before that I didn't cramp at all. So I think it differs from person to person and from cycle to cycle. I would start temping if this isn't your month just because you get so much more information when you do.

R/R/CS: nothing!
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? Nothing special. The weather will be nice here so we may try to get out and take a bike ride or something.
