catinatophat--Thanks! That's what I was afraid of. Looks like I'll take mainewifey's advice and HIO CDs 10-16 to be safe. My how terrible that sounds *evil grin*

 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.

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!

I usually get cramps the day of/ day before. When I stand up if I try to stretch I feel a tugging around my ute.

R/R/CS: I'm just sad my body did another fake out temp drop. It's aggravating.

GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? DH and I need to get on the deep cleaning of the house. The kitchen needs it very badly. I'm helping my friend make freezer meals tonight and I'm off call in T-minus 9 hours. WOOT.

That's when I started my OPKs. CD 13 was negative, CD14 was negative in the morning positive in the evening, CD15 was positive in the morning, and the line was getting lighter in the evening and was just barely positive, so I didn't bother testing this morning CD16. I tested 7 am and 4:30 pm and was able to catch positives.

Cycle/Month: 4 / 5

CD: 4

What are you doing to get KU? BBT, pnvs, opks(not yet though), preseed, and sex

R/R/CS: So glad my period is over. Time to start temping. For cycles 1-3 off BCP, I did not O until around CD25, so nothing is gonna happen any time soon.

GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? Tonight, drinking wine and staying home with DH. Tomorrow, I am going to my sister's house for dinner. Sunday, I am going to lunch with DH's family. Lots of family time this weekend, so I am bracing myself for the baby comments.

Cycle/Month: 16

CD: 20

What are you doing to get KU? Calling the RE, Calling the VA-see below, this cycle is a bust, I am not going to O, all signs point to another anov. Yay for medicated anov cycles.

R/R/CS: After much calling around, back and forth with the RE and VA, and other phone calls….I THINK IUI WILL BE COVERED FOR US THROUGH THE VA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can save that money for expenses down the road if needed!!! Still waiting to hear back, but I have a new hope (since this cycle gives me none).

GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? Cleaning and getting our house organized. It has been crazy around here the last few weeks so it is time to crack down and finally get some projects done!

getzystark-long cycles suck. Sex gets harder and harder as that CD number goes up and the body keeps doing fakeouts

anustart-the O spasms continual for a while internally to you can O before or after him.

[mainewifey]

cateyes Sucky about the annovulatory cycle. But great news about the VA! fx for good news on that front. Oh, and I just want the rub the cats belly in your siggy. It looks so soft.

What are you doing to get KU? On the bench but first full cycle temping so I'm doing a dry run.

R/R/CS: Finally found my BBT thermometer yesterday. My 17 month old took off with it a few days ago and it went missing for days. She ended up putting it in her shopping cart. I had already picked up a different one, so now I got a backup.

GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? Nothing much.

What are you doing to get KU? Riding out AF

R/R/CS: Doing ok, can't wait to start my Clomid and get this cycle going.

GTKY: What are you doing this weekend??DH, DD, and I are going to a nature center tomorrow because it will be nice weather to be outside. I will probably take DD to an indoor playplace in the morning while DH does some errands and then we will go out to lunch. Sunday I will take DD to church and hopefully get some of my own work done in the afternoon.

What are you doing to get KU? stuff

R/R/CS: question- the last two nights I've slept like shit. Waking every hour, tossing and turning- so when I temped those mornings I did not have three solid hours of sleep. I put that in the FF notes, but see there's a 'sleep deprived' option. I don't think of this as being sleep deprived, but does this really just encompass sleep disturbances? I feel like these two days have screwed my chart up-

I'm not sure, coupled with the positive OPK, it is possible that you actually have a temp rise and may have O'd. Give it some more temps.

What do you think getzystark?

limetintsmyworld CD22 is a possibility but without CM it makes it trickier to read. Time will tell if the next two temps are above today's (or even just higher than your CD19 temp) FF with give you CH.

Cycle: 2

CD: 10

What are you doing to get KU? Eh, I'm too lazy to type it out. Lots of stuff. Hope it works.

R/R/CS: Nothing. My temps are a bit lower, which interests me and no one else. My boobs have been sore and I'm not a fan. Starting OPKs today. Hoping my cycle is back to normal with stress reduction and weight loss and exercise. If so, I should ovulate in roughly a week. Ready to get going with the sex. It's been awhile between period and busy time and not feeling well.

GTKY: What are you doing this weekend??

Park this weekend with the kiddo and cleaning and laundry. Way more Curious George than I want to see, hopefully some productive knitting. Hopefully some writing.

What are you doing to get KU? PNV, lots-o-sex

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.

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer:  Ovulation cramping/pain is a real thing and it varies by woman and cycle.  The reason it's not considered a primary fertility sign (apart from the fact that it's not universally experienced) is that it can happen before O, during O, and after O, and the only way you can be certain about the timing is temping.  Before ovulation, pain is caused by the growing follicles putting pressure on surrounding tissues.  During ovulation, pain can be caused by the follicle rupturing.  After ovulation, pain is caused by fluid release in the abdomen causing pressure on the area. 

Having said that, I can get some pretty intense ovulatory pain and it has always tied in with a temp rise the following day, so while  I can feel pressure or twinges leading up to ovulation, actual pain is felt during ovulation for me.  I only know that by charting though, and even then it's not an every cycle thing.

getzystark and risscaboobs thanks ladies! I only chart CM if it's noticeable otherwise I feel like I really reach to classify. I will wait it out- thsnks again!

What are you doing to get KU? All the stuff

R/R/CS: Argh for no temp rise after +OPK and good CM
 
GTKY: What are you doing this weekend?? We are double brunching this weekend. Celebrating a friends 35th birthday on Saturday and then going to brunch on Sunday where we got married.

adelbert - hope you O soon

craftytype - FF says my temp fluctuations are higher than normal as well. Mouth breather too, so maybe I'll try vaginal temping next cycle if this one is a bust

mynameiscarrie - glad your last cycle finally ended for you.

getzystark - sorry for the fake out temps

cateyes - yay for a covered IUI!!

What are you doing to get KU? Reckon I'll need to have sex soon...

R/R/CS: I really wish I had a clue about what to expect from this cycle, but since it's my first one since LO was born, I have no idea when I should expect to O. Between me working days, H working evenings and weekends for the next two weeks, and LO getting her eye teeth and sleeping like crap, I'm not really sure how much sex will actually be happening this month.

GTKY: What are you doing this weekend? Hanging with my toddler and playing in a couple of rehearsals and a concert.
