Cycle/Month: 5/6

CD: 29

What are you doing to get KU? Probably will keep up with EOD or whenever we want it sex.

RRCS: I got crosshairs but I'm not sure I believe my temp this morning. My CM isn't reliable because I had a colpo on CD24 and it usually doesn't match up with O anyway. I'll stick around here until tomorrow's temp at least.

GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be? Hands down, mind reading but only if I can turn it on and off.

[youdontsay]

Got my CHs so I'm heading over to TWW. Good luck everyone!!! See you on the other side!

[mrsk0920]

Good morning ladies! daisy818 in sorry for CD1

Cycle/Month: 8/8
CD: 2

What are you doing to get KU? I liked how Ray put it--waiting for the Sharks to clear lol. After that, OPKs, EOD SEX, and temping.

RRCS: MH was so sweet last night. I was feeling sad and like crap from CD1 and he totally took care of me last night and let me be lazy while he took care of things around the house. And this morning he cleaned my car off and made sure to shovel so I didn't have to worry about it.

GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be? Teleportation, bc I would love to travel more, but hate actually traveling (plus the cost).

[requiressnacks]

I accidentally posted in TWW. Oops!

Cycle/Month: 5/6

CD/DPO: CD4 Yawn

What are you doing to get KU: We are considering doing the "sperm meets egg" plan this month. Luckily I have a vacation to Mexico coming up right in what I'm hoping is my fertile window!


Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I literally just had a 2.5 day AF. I'll rave about that. After a 40+ day cycle, I thought I'd be in for the worst. Hoping to actually O this cycle.

GTKY: Superpower? I'd like to be able to fly.

[teraiin]

FX for you getzystark! Seems like you've been here long enough.

What are you doing to get KU? lots of sex, BBT, OPKS, PNV

RRCS: Can I get a chart stalk please?  Does it look like I O'd? The first 6 days of my cycle I was traveling so those temps are not the norm. My'>http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/56a5d8/">My

GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be? Cure cancer or EB.

Maybe CD17?  Did you ever get a positive opk?  I tried the digital kind last month and just got a high reading and never a peak.  I'm going to supplement with the wondfos this month. Just curious.

Nope, never got a positive. I did every test around 5-6am though. So I guess it is possible I O'd later in the day? I used the Clear Blue Easy ones with the circle or smiley face. I think I am going to switch back to cheaper line tests next time. Last cycle I saw a positive OPK with the line tests.

What are you doing to get KU? well I think my period is on the way out so yay to that. Just been taking my PNVs. Today begins BBT, CM/CP, etc. Will be aiming for ED sex again in FW. Probably starting Saturday

RRCS: Not much going on here

GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be? I'll go with flying. There are others I'd like as well, but meh.

Cycle/Month: 5 + some NTNP months

CD: 5

What are you doing to get KU? Temping and waiting for about another week

R/R/CS: None! AF is gone and I've been pretty mellow, haven't been thinking about TTC which is good since there's nothing to do right now anyway!

GTKY: Read minds!

Yeah I plan to use the same clear blue easy ones in the morning this time (I have some left over) and then the cheaper kind when I get home from work.  I think I missed the LH surge last time. 

That is a good idea.  For the next cycle maybe I should try that so I don't miss identifying the surge.

What are you doing to get KU?: See below.

RRCS: Had my annual exam yesterday. I hate them to begin with, and having to talk to her about our apparent infertility just made it worse. And on top of that, I told MH I wanted to leave by 1:30. 1:20 rolls around and he's still playing games on the computer and hasn't showered, and we left late, and there was an accident on our way there, so we were late for the appointment and by the time we got there I was a giant mess. Luckily my doctor is awesome and understanding. She basically said since it's been a year, she doesn't want us to waste our time scheduling a separate meeting with her to talk about it, and immediately recommended two places to call for a specialist. She also said, since a specialist might not be able to see us right away, that if I don't get KU this cycle to come in and get CD3 labs done and have MH get a SA. She also said I'll probably have to have the dye test to check and make sure there are no masses, growths, or blockages, but that will be up to the specialist. (She did say that since I'm confirming O through temps and OPKs the labs are routine, but it will help to confirm I'm releasing eggs, etc.)

Here's what's making me upset: MH doesn't like his PCP because he always feels like he's trying to upsell him on stuff he "needs". He hasn't been back to see him in almost a year. He keeps talking about how he needs to find a new doctor, but never looks for one. He is supposed to be on medication for his triglycerides but hasn't since his last scrip ran out last spring/early summer. This is the doc who diagnosed him with low T and put him on testosterone shots, because MH only told him we were having issues with his drive, but didn't mention anything about trying to have a baby. When he told me about the shots and I mentioned I heard that can affect sperm count, and to ask his doctor about it (because you know, his doc is a medical professional and I just read shit on the interwebs), he just never went back. I told him he needs to get his checkup done before we call the clinic, but I doubt he'll do it. I don't understand how he can say he wants kids, talks about them all the time, and flat out tells me he wants us to get KU soon - but he doesn't seem willing to do anything to help. My doc says I'm doing everything right, and I really don't want to put myself through the hell of all this testing when he can't even have an honest conversation with his doctor about this stuff. I get that men can be sensitive about it, but if my cooch can get poked and prodded by strangers, I don't see why he can't put his own ego aside for one doctor visit.

That said, the being late from playing computer games aside, he was really comforting before, during, and after my appointment, and made me chicken parm for dinner. So he's not a complete asshole, I swear. I really hope yesterday's appointment was a wake-up call for him, and that he's spending his time at work today either making an appointment with his doctor, or finding a new one.

GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be?
I'm with Ray, I want magic. Usually I say flying but I think magic would be pretty damn cool.

random note: That moment when you see your chart thumbnail is almost as long as your siggy gif... lol yay long cycles!

Hugs. I'm sorry YH is being a twatwaffle with the doctor stuff. Men can just really be like that sometimes it seems. I have to harp on mine to get him to make his appointments too. I'm glad he was supportive during the appointment and everything, and chicken parm sounds yummy. I hope you get some answers soon.

[becwheat]

@cakewench - I am sorry it was a rough day. I hope your H gets over himself and gets fully on board.

[Sparkly]

Lurking...

What are you doing to get KU? lots of sex

RRCS: I'm almost positive I O'd, but I'm waiting for CHs. Higher temps the past two days. Not sure if I O'd yesterday or Sunday, but we HIO both days (and the previous 4) so I'm feeling good about our timing.

GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be? Magic a la Harry Potter.

[setsuna17]

FX getzystark! Hugs cakewench. Men can be so dumb sometimes about going to the doctor. I hope he gets in a better train of thought.

Cycle/Month: 12/11

What are you doing to get KU? Period just ended. Been taking PNVs, drinking water, green tea, and will start the sex.

RRCS: I had a really bad panic attack last night. I'm sick of panic attacks.

GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be?
The ability to understand/speak every language in the world. It would be awesome to just know anything I wanted!

Yes that does suck. That happened to me last cycle. I swear people who started CD1 with me were testing almost before I O'd. 

Edited because I suck at typing.

[cakewench]

Thank you, ladies - and sorry for the long rant, I just didn't know who else I could vent to. If he really doesn't want to go back to his doctor, fine, but at least make an effort at finding a new one, especially since it could be a while before he can get a new patient appointment. We have a snow day here so I bet a lot of places are closed today, but he could at least be making a list of numbers to try tomorrow…

[catinatophat]

Cycle/Month: 5/5
CD: 19

What are you doing to get KU? BBT, lots of H2O, HIO when we have the energy

RRCS: My chart is so weird. Flat temps for a week or so and then really rocky. And I've been cramping for a week so I don't know WTF that is about. I keep thinking my crappy Target BBT is not working properly but maybe I am just O-ing late. I hate not knowing what is going on!

GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be? Time travel would be awesome!

Cycle/Month: 3/2

CD: 2

What are you doing to get KU? waiting out AF for now. PNV, water, etc

RRCS: I was not expecting a 7 day luteal phase, last cycle was only 9 days. First cycle after BCP was a pretty normal 14 days. I'm over 35, how many cycles would you wait out short LP before talking to your doctor? Or just wait out the 6 months?

GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be? How about the power to heal

What are you doing to get KU? Still waiting out AF. Thought she was gone, but turns out she's not. Green tea, bbt, OPKs starting day 10

RRCS: just wish AF would leave. I have an awful heacache again today.

GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be? To be able keep your loved ones around forever

What are you doing to get KU? All the things.

RRCS: I'm almost a week past 'predicted ovulation' and feeling frustrated. I know you're regular until you're not but I can't help but feel discouraged. I've had a week straight of negative OPKs and at this point I just feel like I'm wasting them. Should I just give those a break a try them again next cycle?

GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be? Is teleporting a super power?

What are you doing to get KU? Praying.

RRCS: Going to the RE tomorrow to trigger, and hopefully see some kind of improvement...anything...in my mother fucking lining. Will start Estrace.

GTKY: If you could have one super power what would it be? I would read peoples' minds, because I am way too concerned with it as is. Probably not the best choice, though.

I almost picked reading minds, because I would LOVE that, but then I realized that I am way too much of a people pleaser who cares what others think.  I think if I could actually read people's minds, I'd never be able to get over what I hear.  LOL.

Personally, I start testing once every other day from 4 days before my earliest ever O date and then once a day as I see the line getting darker/approaching + or as I start to experience my typical pre-O symptoms. You still may end up peeing on a lot of things - that's why a lot of people will use wondfos or $store ones - but hopefully this helps to narrow down for you when to test

[PolkaDotMama]

I'm procrastinating and impatient so I'll kill two birds with one stone and start us off again lol

I started testing on wondfos the day before last cycles O date. They darkened throughout the week and I got my darkest one (but still not positive) on Sunday and then a much lighter one today. At this point I think we'll just keep HIO until O and see what next month brings.

Thanks so much for the advice!

GKU: temping, OPK, PNV, sex

R/R/CS: For some reason I'm extra anxious to O this month. Hoping that my FW falls in between my two work trips this month, which looks like it might if I O on CD 19 again (I only have one other month of data to compare, so who knows). I feel like my chart looks wonky this month. Chart stalk, anyone?? www.fertilityfriend.com/home/548988
My Ovulation Chart Also, this is my first month using OPKs. They're annoying. I hope when I get more FF data and know when to anticipate my O date, I won't have to use them so many days in a row.

GTKY: Mind-reading, for sure! I hate not knowing things!

Edit to fix link AND to add...YAYYY this was my 100th post!!
