Hi! It's so quiet in here.

Age of LO(s): I think 20 months tomorrow! Or 1.5 years, which is what I usually tell people to keep it simple.
Cycle/Month: 5
CD/DPO: 18/4
RRCS: Long ramble ahead.

I'm only using OPKs, so ovulation date is not definite. Of course this month I had my darkest OPK test lines ever. I started using a new batch of wondfos so I guess these must be more sensitive than the last ones. I thought I had a positive on CD 12 in the afternoon, then on CD13 my AM and PM test lines were darker than the control lines! And on CD14 in the morning the test line was just a bit lighter than control, the same as the afternoon on CD12. So I think I had a surge from CD12-CD14, peaking on CD13 ? I marked CD13 as + so FF has ovulation on CD14, which I would guess is probably right. We only had sex on CD13, so the timing might be good or it might have been too late. Nothing I can do now.

Also, a confession. Since I had never seen OPKs that dark before, and my period this month was relatively short for me, I actually took two pregnancy tests on Saturday just in case. Both negative, of course.


GTKY: Favorite sex toy. (Yep, that's right. We're getting really personal this week.) None.

I started this and then I got called away for a meeting... I guess I needed to do some work today anyway.

Age of LO(s): 20ish months
Cycle/Month: 8
CD/DPO: 14
RRCS: OPKs. I have yet to turn one positive even when I am testing on what looks like it would be O day for FF. The lines get darker and then fade again but never actually give a true positive. bostonbaker, I also switched brands this month so maybe that will help.
GTKY: Favorite sex toy. My go-to favorite has been a basic vibrator that I got a few years ago. I love it but I am looking for something new & fun.

Hi! I go here now!

Age of LO(s): just about 13 months
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 4
RRCS: I'm just excited to here. Even though I want to change jobs, which if that happens wouldn't leave me eligible for FMLA, we're both ready, so we're diving in!
GTKY: I don't own any. It makes me sad. I really want one.

cnf2013 Yay! You're officially here!

I am! I'm so excited! I wish I lost a few more pp pounds, but it's whatever.

CD/DPO: 36/5

RRCS: acupuncture seems to be helping . I've had the second shorter cycle in a row.

GTKY: Favorite sex toy. (Yep, that's right. We're getting really personal this week.)
Remote egg, with DH on control.

Age of LO(s): 4, 2, 11 1/2 months!!

Cycle/Month: 5/5

CD/DPO: 26/10-11ish

RRCS: Pretty sure I'm out. I'm feeling like total crap which is how I always feel a couple days before AF arrives. I might test on Saturday if she hasn't shown by then.

GTKY: Favorite sex toy. (Yep, that's right. We're getting really personal this week.) Boring here, too. Just a simple vibrator. I've always wanted to try a vibrating ring with my H but we've just never gotten one.

LO: SS 16, SD12 in 2 weeks, DD is 2.5

Cycle/month: 11/11

Cd/DPO: 24/9

Timing: good I think we got -1 and 0 but that's guessing off of cm and prior O date being cd 15 most months. I'm taking a temping/OPK break for my mental health.

RRCS: feeling very at ease this month given what I wrote above. We have a script for a SA in December if we don't get a BFP this time and will likely make an appt with RE in Feb.

Testing plans: probably Saturday per FF recommendations.

Gtky: vibrator but don't like my current one.

[jax1182014]

Cycle/Month: 14
Cd/DPO: 18/5
Timing -3,-1,O
RRCS: I O'd according to CM and OPK's on CD 12 which is the earliest since I've been charting so that's exciting. I truly think all the vitamins my OB has me on helped.
GTKY: ugh I'm boring :/

Age of LO(s): 28 months
Cycle/Month: 7/6
CD/DPO: 21/?
RRCS: I'm not sure when FF is going to put me at ovulation. I had unusually high temps before ovulation because I was sick. Now that I'm better, my temp is high like it usually is after O, but FF has yet to mark it. I believe I ovulated on Monday.

I used to get into them all, but now at 40, I'll just take a really good lube.

Age of LO(s): DS is 14 months
Cycle/Month: 3/3
CD/DPO: 23/6
RRCS: Just annoyed with my body, in my fertile window I have a great sex drive but the rest of my cycle it's nonexistent. Why can't I be 19 again?
GTKY - Favorite sex toy: Just a plain vibrator. I used to have a whole slew of toys but when H and I got together he thought they were a bit much so I scaled back.

[kensie5226]

Age of LO(s): 13 months
Cycle/Month: 6/6
CD/DPO: CD13
RRCS: Need to get on it. It's been a month since we had sex. Between travel, repeat IF testing, and sick kiddo mama needs it. I finished up all my repeat testing. I'm still a fertile myrtle. We got a referral back to the RE and as soon as it goes through we'll head back and try for real.
GTKY: Favorite sex toy. Bed straps, butt plugs.

RRCS: FINALLY started my period after 5 months from getting my implant taken out. I was spotting for like 2 days prior period and was hoping it would turn into one, thankfully it has. I expected some cramping, but I have nothing. It's NOTHING like pre baby periods that I used to have, so very light and not painful (jinxing myself) just really hoping the periods stay regular now, I will be OPK after my periods ends and will be bugging FI every 2 days to make a baby!! We get married in 3 weeks (omg) so would be really nice to make a baby on our honeymoon!
GTKY: Favorite sex toy - I'm boring and don't have any!
