What you're doing to get KU: NTNP this month. PNV, CM, Temping, Green Tea
R/R/CS: Trying to get DH on board for EOD. He is feeling stressed about all this so we have decided EOD with him not knowing when I may think I might have some signs of O. The pressure to peform on a day I had EWCM was a bit to much for him. I need to remind myself we are NTNP this month and it is my first month of temping so we need to just go with the flow.
GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? DH and I don't have any traditions for holidays and birthdays. No presents or anything either. Valentine's Day is our only tradition that we hold to. We always make homemade chicken alfredo from scratch and pop a bottle of bubbly. We did our grocery shopping on Thursday so while we were there we each picked out a card for each other and grabbed some flowers. I don't like red roses for really any occasion so I got some pretty orange spray roses.
But DH is working all day so I am going to be catching up on the DVR and trying to get the house clean before he gets home.
How are you NTNP but doing the bolded and posting in WTO? That's basically what everyone is doing when they are actively TTC. What parts aren't you doing? Iz confused.
This. You can say NTNP if you want to but it sounds like trying to me.
akraus2015, I'm fairly certain that LH is highest in the late afternoon/early evening. So theoretically, you could test in the am with SMU, but what happens if you surge at 3pm? You'd miss it. Or if you'd use FMU, there still may be LH in your system from the previous day, giving you an inaccurate result. All that said, I know of other women having success using FMU, SMU, etc, but I've personally had more success when testing later in the day vs early in the day. Clear as mud, yes?
Cycle/Month: I don't even know.
CD: 3!
What you're doing to get KU: Nothing at the moment.
R/R/CS: My period has been really light and short the last few cycles. Is that bad? Also, I bought a real legit BBT thermometer today. It only took me 3 years to take the plunge and get one that read to the hundredth and not just to the tenth. LOL.
GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? H is working, and I spent the day cleaning. Tonight we will be getting drunk, eating pizza, and listening to music at the dining room table together. I canNOT wait.
Me: 29, PCOS with slight IR and slightly elevated DHEA-S. HSG all clear, SHG shows a couple cysts but besides that, all normal. Prescribed Metformin. H: 40, Low motility, morph and volume. Meeting with urologist & repeat SA in August to see if anything can be done to improve numbers.

Cycle/Month: 4 since break, 17 total
CD: 7
What you're doing to get KU: clomid (monitored), OPKs, temping
R/R/CS: So over all this heartburn! And my new thermometer is stupid and keeps giving me really high numbers. Hopefully I can still detect my O.
GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? I'm going to AW for a moment and brag on MH. We met when we were 14 and were pretty good friends. We flirted and went as far as to hold hands but never dated. We lost track of each other after college but wound up reconnecting and ended up dating when I started working at the bank inside his work. One thing we both say is that we wished we would have started dating back in high school when we first met, but we both acknowledge it worked out perfectly when it did. Well he told me to sleep in this morning and got up with our son and when I woke up he handed me a card explaining that he had written me a card for every Valentine's we didn't spend together and each had a clue to where the next one was (they were all cute clues too like: the next card is in our favorite DVD). At the end he gave me the most ridiculous huge card and a couple of Harry Potter wands.
What you're doing to get KU: pnv, bbt, cm, eod sex soon
R/R/CS: trying not to start eod sex too soon so we don't get burnt out. Maybe cd 12 just in case. Have been debating using opk. I am wary because I had several batches of fertile cm before I actually O'd last cycle. I am thinking opk might show multiple surges and confuse / frustrate me more. I will try to monitor cm more closely.
GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? Going into the city during the day to get some BBQ and go to our favorite brewery so basically it will be like any other Saturday. Probably will be lazy tonight. We went out to a nice dinner to celebrate valentines on Thursday without the crowds.
Remember that opk's are testing for LH, while ewcm is produced by increasing estrogen. It's possible to have multiple patches of fertile cm and not get positive opk's, because theoretically, you shouldn't get a + opk until LH is peaking, triggering ovulation. Sometimes you do get multiple + opk's but I think that using them may actually help you isolate more random patches of fertile fluid from really gearing up to O. Worth a try, imo.
What you're doing to get KU: bbt, pnvs, sex, OPK, etc.
R/R/CS: Nothing really...
GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? A whole lot of nothing. We were planning on at least spending the day together relaxing. Unfortunately thanks to the snow, I've seen MH a total of about an hour today. He had to go in this morning, came home in time for ME to go to work. I came home in time to make him food which he JUST finished, in time to get called in again. He just called me to say it's going to be a late night and when he gets home he said he'll need to go to bed because he's going to probably get called in at 3AM. Sorry for the dear diary word vomit guys.
Also, ((hugs)) apunicorn. Sorry about the loss. Also glad your pup will be okay getzystark dog stuff can be so stressful. I remember when my lab ate a small piece of plastic. Ughhhhhhh.
What you're doing to get KU: almost all of it plus Clomid, progesterone, estrogen.
R/R/CS: I'm really edgy today and everything is pissing me off. I need to get in a better mood.
GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? DH is cooking ahi tuna steaks and grilled veggies and French bread. His cooking is amazing! We had a nice dinner out last night instead.

Hope the tuna steaks are good! My fav! Hope you feel better soon!
What you're doing to get KU: EOD, PNV's, opk's, temping
R/R/CS: I think I'm ovulating today, based on +OPK yesterday and a temp dip today. This is really bad timing, as I am in the middle of the trip from hell...see below.
GTKY: What are you doing for Valentine's Day? DH, DS, and I just arrived in FL for DH's grandma's funeral service. We took the train down...multiple delays took an already 24 hour trip and made it almost 34 hours of travel time. We just finally settled in to our hotel room, then DH went to meet some of his cousins to work on cleaning out Grandma's house while I put DS to bed. When DH gets back, we need to HIO, which is honestly the last thing I feel like doing right now, but everything points to O today, so it needs to happen.
