WTO hump day

[Ray]

I am up at 5:30 every day and waaay too impatient. lol I had to make a deal with myself that I would at least wait until 8:30 to start this if no one else had. Sorry for being a thread whore. Here we go lol

What are you doing to get knocked up?

RRCS:

GTKY: Do you have any superstitions?  

[Ray]

Cycle/Month:5/6

CD:4

What are you doing to get knocked up? still nothing. I think AF is on the way out though so that's good.

RRCS:I just dislike WTO so much compared to TWW because its usually almost twice as long lol. And there's nothing really going on with my chart so I have nothing to obsessively stare at lol. ah well.
Also - today is the first day of Lent! and I have no idea what to give up - ideas? Drinking is too easy, coffee too dangerous, and I did meat last year and got really sick so that's out too.

GTKY: Do you have any superstitions? I don't really believe in superstitious stuff but when I used to ski race I had a very particular way of getting into the start gate. I wouldn't say I was superstitious about it though - I think it was more of a mental preparation thing. Ahh wait, I though of one. I never say knock on wood but if someone else does I have to do it. Idk why.

What are you doing to get knocked up? PNVs, BBT, CM, CP, and aiming for EOD

RRCS: work has blocked this site.

GTKY: Do you have any superstitions? I knock on wood and throw spilled salt over my left shoulder

Morning!!

Cycle/Month: 4 (1AL)

CD: 6

What are you doing to get knocked up? AF is ending! AF is ending! Time to start the OPKs and the sexxx

RRCS: nope.

GTKY: Do you have any superstitions? Not really superstitions but I kind of believe in "jinxing" things like telling people you got a new job before the offer letter comes through, for example. Or, more related to GKU, it's ridiculous but I keep thinking that I "jinxed" my pregnancy by telling a few people when I saw my positive test. I KNOW it's not true. But if I get pregnant again the only people that are finding out about my two pink lines before my first appointment are you ladies and the husband!!

What !? Not fair. My work doesn't block things but I'm definitely more comfortable on this site than the original Bump. I work in tech with a bunch of dudes that loooove to stare at my screens. But back to you - NOT FAIR.

[apunicorn]

Ray - a lot of people I know give up sugar or desserts, which I think is a cool idea since you get healthier while you're being religious! I'm "giving up" worrying, which is obviously not going to happen 100% but I'm going to try really, reallllly hard.

Cycle/Month: 9/2al

CD: 7

What are you doing to get knocked up? everything but temping

RRCS: not much going on, just hoping my cycle regulates a little closer to 28-32 days I was at previously. Also working hard to lose a few pounds and get healthier before the next pregnancy.

GTKY: Do you have any superstitions? I knock on wood all the time, I hate it when people say stuff that could happen and dont. I throw salt over my left shoulder, I think thats about it, but my DH bugs me for being superstitious in general.

[oddbird]

Thanks for starting! I was getting antsy but I feel like I'm too much of a newbie to start it myself


Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD: 14

What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, CM, OPKs, PNVs, ED for the next few days

RRCS: Rave - I got the peak reading today on my digi OPK. So happy because last cycle I got the blinking smiley face (high reading, but not yet peak) for 9 days before getting a peak, and this cycle I only had 4 days of that dumb blinking smile before the peak reading. So hopefully I'm going to O soon.

GTKY: Do you have any superstitions? Definitely. The biggest one is that I have to touch the outside of an airplane before I fly on it. So while I'm boarding I'm usually trying to pretend to fix my ponytail and lose my balance to make an excuse to touch the plane. So dumb. Also really awkward since I fly a lot for work and my colleagues are starting to wonder WTF is going on.

What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, CM, PNV, OPK, sexing

RRCS: My temperature took a hug nose dive this morning. So much so that in my half asleep confusion I convinced myself it was actually a full 2 degrees high than it really was. I fell back asleep and dreamed about the discrepancy. Thank goodness my thermometer has temperature recall on it. But now I'm cranky because all my other secondaries pointed to O yesterday and now I'm confused and annoyed. I hate WTO because it is endless. UGH. Just do what I want body!

GTKY: Not really. I do knock on wood, but I don't put any stock in it. I'm mostly just very much a creature of habit. I do things a very certain way, like during triathlons, I have a ritual I do to set up my gear and specific order I do things in.

oooooh good one. I am a chocolate fiend. So much so that I generally have a bag of M&Ms stashed in my truck for if I have a shitty day at work (healthy, I know). I'm not gonna lie guys - this may be a cranky couple months lol

What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, OPK, PNV

R/R/CS:  Can I get a chart stalk? I still don't know if I O'd yet. I am having trouble linking my chart on my iPad. Any advice about that? If someone has a ton of extra time the link is I the WTO thread from yesterday. Page 2. 

No, not really. I do believe in Karma though.

could be CD 17. what was the reason for the open circle on CD 18? your current closed circles do look like they are consistently higher than your previous closed circles. How dark were the OPK lines leading up to CD17? If they were getting close to positive and then all of a sudden very not positive you could have just missed the peak. If that's the case I'd put in a + for the day before they got very not positive and see if that makes FF give you CH. its probably having a hard time due to open circles and -ve OPKS

edit for clarity: if your OPKs were pretty dark but not quite positive on CD 15 and 16 and then go a LOT lighter on CD 17 or 18, I'd say you probably just missed the peak and CD 17 is O day. Try putting in a +ve OPK on CD 16 and see if that gives you CH

again only ***if*** what I'm describing sounds like your situation. If they were all obviously negative disregard what I'm saying lol

The open circle was due to taking temp at a different time of day. I never got a positive OPK. I take them between 5-6 am. I used the clearblue easy circle/smiley face ones. Switching back to the line ones next time.  Thanks for looking at my chart!

What are you doing to get KU? BBT, CM, Preseed, EOD

RRCS: I'm once again really struggling to remeber to temp. I'm just so exhausted cause work is so busy. Plus with the stress of school work on top of it.... I can't wait for Disney World in 11 days!!!!!

GTKY: I do knock on wood. I also totally believe in Karma.

Ray, I'm giving up Facebook which isn't very original but I check it quite a bit so it will be something that I will miss.

What are you doing to get knocked up? BBT, lots of water, HIO more than we want to

RRCS: I have no idea what is going on. Can someone look and tell me to either calm my tits or that my thermometer has crapped out. It's probably that I just need to be patient. My link is in my siggy and I'm trying to put it below but probably screwing it up.

craap ok sorry. Your welcome though! good call I think - The digitals are nice in the sense that there's no deliberating but I prefer the line tests because I can make my own call about it and gain some extra insight. FWIW I still think you O'd on CD 17

What are you doing to get knocked up? PNV, CP, CM, BBT, OPK (omitting Preseed as now I have EWCM, probably omitting EPO as I think it may have delayed O)

RRCS: So weird. Have been HIO EOD. I got a + OPK on Saturday, but no EWCM and then no actually O, deduced via no temp rise. H and I skipped the last couple of days. So, now I've got EWCM. Say wha? Continuing to monitor things but am annoyed that I think by the time we can HIO tonight our timing will be too late for this cycle. But also grateful to have found out that my bod may do a weird rev up to O and then maybe not O for awhile longer. And a little worried this means I have an exceptionally short LP?

GTKY: Do you have any superstitions? I ride horses. I've developed a weird thing at my current barn that I have to use a specific mounting block or that's the day I'll get thrown and paralyzed.

nice! I think the hardest would be giving up this place but thats not happening. I just took a look - I think you're just in a long cycle - sorry.

Haven't posted on these in awhile b/c I was taking a little break, but let's try this again.

Cycle/Month: 8 or 9, I have lost count

CD: 2

What are you doing to get knocked up? RIght now, waiting on AF to leave

RRCS:I am very much struggling with being this far and having no success when so many others that had their 1st around the same time are already pregnant again. Lots on my BMB and IRL. I do feel fortunate to have my one, but would so much like to give him a sibling. Plus, I'll be 35 at the end of the year and was really hoping to be done by then b/c that gets scarier for me.

GTKY: Do you have any superstitions? No

Yea, it worked yesterday but when I tried to post I got the screen that said "this website has been blocked". They block strange things, skype is blocked, we tried to use that to talk to a collegue in australia a few weeks ago and couldn't.

What are you doing to get knocked up? EOD (sometimes back to back, depends on our mood), OPK, PNV, CM, etc...

RRCS: I got my 3rd positive OPK in a row. Is that normal? I don't know if I'm close to O. I had a positive OPK today and my temp dropped today, but last month I O'd on CD 25. I'm trying not to read into it too much, but the 3 positive OPK's is weird to me. Anyone have any insight on that?

GTKY: Do you have any superstitions? I do a lot of things out of habit. Some would probably be considered superstitious (like if I don't do something a certain way I won't get the result I want) but most of them I think are just me being a creature of habit.

ETA: Question! When do you discard temps? I had a crazy high temp a few days ago after a night of drinking and I'm wondering what my chart would look like without it. If I discard, is that bad? Or should I just keep it?

Maybe I'm just crabby... but, link your chart here or don't ask for a chart stalk. You are asking for a favor, don't make other people work to be nice.

I completely agree. Last month when I used line tests I could see the line slowly develop, get dark and then fade. It was more reassuring. Thank you so much for your help!!

What are you doing to get knocked up? Sex...

RRCS: Does anyone know if a B complex can cause your temperatures to shift up in general? I'm running warm this month (and it is my second month of taking the B). Normally my pre-O temps are around 96.7. This month they are around 97.3.

GTKY: Do you have any superstitions? Not really -- just that carrying an umbrella keeps it from raining.

you can always pull it out and see what happens.  I ran a fever one day last month and discovered that checking the fever button in the specifics section will save your temp but pull it out of your chart.

Thank you for looking, that is what I was afraid of. I guess I'll stop calling my BBT bad names every morning and keep HIO. I'm just so tired of scheduled sex! 

[daisy818]

Ray apunicorn - I have also given up chocolate before (oh, that was hard). One of my friends has given up all dessert entirely, which I know I could not do. In HS (I went to a Catholic school) my senior theology teacher had us each have a Lenten resolution that was a positive action rather than giving something up (or in addition to giving something up). So it would be something like, "Every day give a compliment to a stranger" or "Pay it forward once a day" or "Every day tell someone a way I am thankful they are in my life." It was actually a really uplifting way to do it!

What are you doing to get knocked up? Just waiting for my period to end

RRCS: I'm getting a nephew! They did somet tests on my sister to check for some things and she and my BIL decided to just find out with those results instead of waiting for the ultrasound (she's only around 12-13 weeks). He'll be named Liam but see below re: what I'll be calling him for now.

GTKY: Do you have any superstitions? I'm weird, but I just can't call a baby by it's name until it's born, even if the name is all picked out. I'll be that person that comes up with a weird nickname for the baby till then (or just say "the baby" or such if it's someone else's baby).
