CD:



What are you doing to GKU?



RRCS:



GTKY: What is your favorite thing about thanksgiving? Food? The parade? See family? Listening to your crazy uncle get in fights with your grandfather about politics?

[bradysalon]

Cycle/month: 4



CD: 19



What are you doing to GKU? PNV, OPK, BBT, and sex- so much sex... see below.



RRCS: I've been so sick for the last week and I finally got to the doctor and what do you know? I have freakin strep. DH and I have been HIO EOD for the last week and I have been dying. It's been like sloppy, snotty, scheduled, baby making sex- so not romantic or sexy. Boooo. We better get a baby out of this.



GTKY: I love everything about thanksgiving- I love watching the parade and cooking and eating and watching my in laws bicker. And then starting to decorate for Christmas the very next day.

Cycle/month: 9/9



CD: 3



What are you doing to GKU? BBT, OPK



RRCS: I know it can be too short, but can you have a luteal phase that's too long? Last month it was 17 or 18 days. Besides having a TWW that goes on FOREVER, can it cause any difficulties/problems?

::Loss mentioned::

Also, this month was a year since my loss. I haven't talked to anyone about it and I am just feeling very down about the loss and the whole process.


GTKY: What is your favorite thing about thanksgiving? Food? The parade? See family? Listening to your crazy uncle get in fights with your grandfather about politics? The food! I love it and hate that it only lasts one day. (Leftovers just aren't as good).

Cycle/Month: 14
CD: 3
What are you doing to GKU?: waiting AF to leave
RRCS: well at least I get to drink for Thanksgiving...
GTKY: Good food and good wine

[bradysalon]

jax1182014 when AF showed this cycle I knew the only thing getting me through was the fact that I could drink all the wine on thanksgiving. Then I got sick and was like noooooo. I'm on antibiotics and will be done by thanksgiving so yay wine!

Hugs mayflowers.

Cycle/month: 5/5

CD: 11

What are you doing to GKU? Starting eod tonight. OPKs.

RRCS: I don't understand how fitting sex in used to be so easy but has to be scheduled now. So much to do this week and somehow have to fit sex in, too.

GTKY: What is your favorite thing about thanksgiving? Food? The parade? See family? Listening to your crazy uncle get in fights with your grandfather about politics? Love the food and getting together with family. We're decorating our tree for the first time on the day after. Early for us, but why not?

Hi ladies, hope it's okay if I start popping in here.  We're TFAS and I was optimistic that it wouldn't take too long this time, but we're on cycle 5 now.  It took 10 cycles to get pregnant with my son, who was born in April 2015.

Cycle/month: I'm counting it as 5.  We NTNP for a few cycles and had good timing for one of them, then have been actively TTC for 3 with BFNs. 

CD: 3

What are you doing to GKU? OPKs, and tracking CM. 

RRCS: Nothing this week.  Ordered more wondfos and waiting for AF to finish.

GTKY: What is your favorite thing about thanksgiving? Food? The parade? See family? Listening to your crazy uncle get in fights with your grandfather about politics?
Food for sure.

@samrs22 different people do different things and it may vary for you. BUT, typically you O something like 12-36 hours after your first positive OPK. So I'd expect a temp spike today or tomorrow for you.

[jax1182014]

@samrs22 I think I'd test to make sure they get negative again just to make sure. I'm not temping though so I guess that may clear things up for you.

What's it mean f it doesn't spike ? It stayed the same today

You could O today (or later).

[mayflowers]

@samrs22 did you get a spike today?

Cycle/month: 8/6

CD: 1

What are you doing to GKU? PNV, BBT, Vitex

RRCS: after last month, when I had an LP of 14 days for the first time, I'm really bummed that this cycle I'm back down to 9. This sucks.

GTKY: my favorite things about Thanksgiving are the food and getting together with friends and family.

[mayflowers]

Hopefully your temp stays up! Looks like you could have O'd day 14 or 15. @samrs22

[RajahMD]

CD1. I go here now. Again.

On to cycle 13.

[jax1182014]

Sorry for CD 1 RajahMD hopefully December is your month

[obscurereference]

Sorry for CD1 @bonzo2012 and RajahMD

[bostonbaker]

@samrs22 which type/brand of opk are you using? I've only ever used wondfos, which show a test line and a contol line, and my test line fades to almost nothing the day after a positive. I've never heard of opks staying positive indefinitely after ovulation. It looks like you ovulated, I'm just curious.

[mayflowers]

Sorry for CD1 RajahMD

[RajahMD]

Regarding the forever positive OPKs, that only happens with certain brands of digitals. I think the Clear Blue advanced, maybe? The one that goes negative, high, peak. On those, it'll generally say peak for the rest of your cycle.

Manual OPKs do not have this issue, as there is no programming.

I always recommend testing until its stone cold negative when you are first trying OPKs. That allows you to see your pattern- how many positives you get, does it slowly become negative or do so abruptly, etc.
