Thanks for the clarification, and for your support  

[notelsie]

I'm honestly trying not to think too much about my chart. I temp between 4 and 6:30 am depending on DS so things are a bit scattered. I have a sinking suspicion my body is up to its old tricks thanks to PCOS.

I have a newb question. Is it possible to ovulate without noticing any W or EW cm?

[notelsie]

ajetter I just realized that I recognize you from our old BMB. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss too

I thought your name was familiar. It stood out to me because my middle IS Elsie. Lol.

RRCS: Today is my 3rd day of flashy smiley with my Clearblue Advanced opk. I have EWCM so I'm hopeful tomorrow will be my solid smiley. We have had sex 4 days in a row thanks to the flashy smiley so I'm wondering if I should take a day off tomorrow if it's flashing again or just keep at it...

GTKY: Margarita!

Age of LO(s): 22 months

Month/Cycle: Last cycle TTA

CD/DPO: CD3

RRCS: I'm just bleeding to death over here but thrilled this is officially our last cycle TTA. I'm really feeling ready and glad we ended up putting things on hold for a few months because I wasn't ready then. Slightly bummed that B6 didn't seem to change my LP at all.

GTKY: What is your favorite poolside beverage? Mojito.

[veganontuesdays]

Age of LO(s): 22 months

Month/Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 11dpo

RRCS: tested today and it was negative. Hardcore period cramps this am and definitely thought I'd get my period but newp. Just the waiting game over here.

GTKY: What is your favorite poolside beverage?
Beer is my go to.

[sammysam]

westiemom If you have a flashing smiley again tomorrow I'd skip a day. You have your bases covered I think and sometimes it's nice to have a bit of a break. I hope you get your solid smiley tomorrow instead though!

[scoutradley]

Age of LO(s): DS1 is 3 and DS2 is 22 months.

Month/Cycle: 1/1 AL

CD/DPO: 11/0

RRCS: I'm temping at the same time everyday and disregarding the ones for the nights I had insomnia. I think that's what I'm supposed to be doing. Any how, my temps are a little crazy. I guess I'll see if they'll be this all over the place next cycle too.

GTKY: What is your favorite poolside beverage? Mojitos

[sammysam]

Age of LO(s): 3

Month/Cycle:3/3

CD/DPO:19/5

RRCS:I have a stomach ache that won't go away today and a 3 year old who won't go to sleep...

GTKY: What is your favorite poolside beverage? I'm boring...but I like lemon Perrier.

Thanks! I will do that. My body needs a break. 😂

[charliefox]

Age of LO(s): 18 month

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: cd 12

RRCS: My back has been bothering me for over a week now, my allergies are out of control, and DS isn't sleeping - which are all making temping (and sex) difficult. Womp womp.

GTKY: What is your favorite poolside beverage? It's been a while since I was able to lounge poolside with a drink...a Mai Tai, maybe?

[ajetter]

notelsie wait were you Aug '15 and July '17? Are we totally following the same path right now? Sorry, just connecting all the dots. Lol.

Also I generally don't notice a ton of CM but am assuming I'm ovulating. Last cycle I thought I maybe had some watery, but we were having enough sex that I could really decipher between that and CM. 😬

I know what you mean. Last cycle we started too early and ended up going 9 days in a row. I was convinced we might never have sex again after that...this cycle I pulled it back to EOD with an extra day before O. So much more comfortable!!!

[frecklesnbrains]

Ugh, every day is BRUTAL. Another fan of EOD here.

[pearlvirus]

Age of LO(s): 16m and almost 3

Month/Cycle: TTA until May-ish

CD/DPO: cd10

RRCS: Nothing seems to be going right for my siblings visit this weekend. We didn't get to move into our house. Our babysitter can't come. My DH has to work. Ugh, frustrated!!

GTKY: What is your favorite poolside beverage? I love margaritas, however after 3+ years of pregnancy/breastfeeding and minimal drinking, I can't do it anymore. Seriously even one small glass of wine makes me feel terrible all the next day. So sad.

that was us too. I think we hit 9 or 10 days in a row and I was dying. We'll do EOD until a + OPK unless I'm really feeling crazy.

I've been playing in the thread but never responded myself.

Age of LO(s): almost 7, 4, 19 months

Month/Cycle: 2/2 (3rd AL)

CD/DPO: 10

RRCS: Dear body. I've had enough of your brown spotting. It's gross and annoying. Also this is our last shot at a 2017 baby, which is making me put a lot of pressure on this cycle for no good reason.

GTKY: What is your favorite poolside beverage? Pina coladas.

[scoutradley]

ajetter I really want a 2017 baby too. My grandmother has had a new great grandson (there have been no girls yet) every year for four years. My DS1 then my cousin's DS, then my DS2 and then my sister's DS. She mentioned to me that she thought that the streak was over until we were due in Oct. (ironically the day after her bday). Now I really want to have another great grandbaby for her this year. Which is stupid, but I can't help it.

Yes! DS was born 8/8/15 I participated on the Aug15 BMB at the beginning of my pregnancy when we all switched over from TB, but I was so overwhelmed with life and a difficult pregnancy at the time so I disappeared. I wish I had been able to keep up. I didn't know you were over there too!

My temps are all sorts of messed up so I think I was wrong about possibly ovulating. I don't usually ovulate this early anyway so I'll try to keep an eye on cm. Thanks

Edit: it is hard to tell sex from cm. Haha

I feel this way too. I was supposed to have a baby this year, and I feel like it's going to make it a little harder to deal knowing I won't.

FX all around
