CYCLE/MONTH: 2nd cycle actively trying since our loss in April, but we started trying in July 2013.
CD: 2
What you're doing to get KTFU: PNV, Metformin for PCOS, trying to lose weight with WW.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: last cycle was kind of screwy, and I think FF had my O date wrong. I had a really slow bbt rise on my chart, and I actually think I ovulated a few days later than it said. Does anyone know if there is a way to override FF and mark my own O date?
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I have one younger sister who is 25. She does know that we are ttc now - pretty much my whole family knows since we had a loss. We are pretty close, though she's very private about a lot of things so she doesn't really tell me a lot about her personal life.

What you're doing to get KTFU: temping, opks
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Temp went down a bit today, so pretty sure I didn't ovulate
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? 3 siblings - 2 twin brothers and a sister. Pretty close with them. We all go to church together and have the same friends and hang out a lot. My SIL is ttc and knows I am too, so I'm pretty sure my brother knows. Haven't told anyone else.

What you're doing to get KTFU: nothing yet, just trying to get the hang of temping - this will make me accountable for it lol
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I put my BBT in my bathroom because DS was trying to play with it... then I forgot it in there. Will the 5 steps between my bed and the bathroom really have that much of an effect on my temp?
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I have 3 older brothers. We are all very close, even with the big age gap between me and them. I won't be telling them we when we start trying - girly stuff scares them.... even with their own wives lol
What you're doing to get KTFU: PNV, CM, BBT, OPK, ED starting today
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Confused rant ahead, sorry in advance-
This is my first month temping and my second charting and I'm confused already. First off, I screwed up temping this morning. I forgot last Saturday I woke up at 515 and temped, turned off my alarm and went back to sleep. I normally temp at 530 so I figured since I woke up close enough I didn't want my alarm to go off and the 15 minutes doesn't really make a difference. Well I never turned my Saturday alarm back on. This morning I woke at 7 and realized this. I hadn't moved yet so I grabbed my BBT and temped. It was a bit high, which I expected since it was over an hour and a half later than I usually temp.
Yesterday I also started my OPK's for this month. I got a freaking positive yesterday evening. I know you can have multiple surges in a cycle and I'm super hoping I get another surge in a couple of days. I got a very glaring negative on my morning OPK this morning a bit after 10am. Between that and the fact that I screwed up temping and recorded a high temperature I'm nervous I might O early and we'll end up with shit timing. Today will be our first romp since my period ended a few days ago. FF is predicted I'll O on CD13, which is what we were basing our ED time frame on, but if I O early, like today or yesterday, we'll pretty much miss it completely.
I also track my CM, which I know has no bearing on O, but I always get watery and a couple of days of definitive EWCM in my window and right now I'm only getting creamy. I've always been one to get a lot of CM and have always kept tabs on it, so I'm pretty confident in my CM identifying skills and knowing roughly where I am in my cycle based on it.
Ugh, I'm sorry. I don't even know what I'm looking for with this. I'm just frustrated. How the fuck do teenagers accidentally get pregnant!? Now I'm going to be all anxious about wanted to get as much data from OPK/BBT/CM over the next few days to see if I'm going to O early and fuck us over, or if it's a fluke that I had a surge and fucked up my temp on the same day and will still be on time around CD13-ish. My chart is in my siggy if anyone wants to take a look, but really there's not much to see.
This shit is too hard.
GTKY: One older brother. I wish we were closer. We love each other and enjoy hanging out together, but neither of us really go out of our ways to talk or see each other. We have very different interests. I wish we were closer since he's the only sibling I've got.
GTKY: 4 siblings. 1 sister (passed away 15 years ago) and 3 brothers. I'm very close with one brother, cool with another, but my youngest brother is a royal idiot.
What you're doing to get KTFU: waiting out my period.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: nothing at the moment
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I have two sisters. I'm the middle. I'm really close with my younger sister and she knows we're TTC. My older sister and I don't really get along.
I'm pretty sure everyone just assumes we're TTC. We get comments about it all the time and we were told on our wedding day there's a bet going on of when we'll have a baby. No pressure or anything :S

GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I have two sisters . I'm closer to my younger sister since we kind of grew up together. My older sister lived with my dad growing up. My younger sister knows we are TTC and starting testing.

Rants/raves/chart stalks: Trying to get the hang of monitoring my CM and CP feels like it's fruitless right now even though I know I'm just being impatient.
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I have 2 sisters. One 6 years older, one 6 years younger. I love them both but they are both a huge pain in the ass. I would rather be shot in the leg than tell me older sister. The younger one knows we will be this year.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I think (hope) I may have O'd but my temp isn't as high as I would expect...and DD woke me up early again so I don't know.
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I'm an only child. Have two sisters-in-law who we are fairly close with. We've casually mentioned trying for #2 here and there.
What you're doing to get KTFU: sex, temping, no OPKs because fuck them.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: worst thing about vaginal temping is getting back in the groove after my period. I totally forgot to temp this morning, but with my long ass cycles it shouldn't be a problem.
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? One older brother. We aren't close at all - not any bad terms, just not really on any terms. I see him on major holidays, maybe. He has no clue I'm trying to conceive, nor do I think it would interest him much.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Feeling pretty down about TTC at the moment. This shit is hard.
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I have one older brother. We don't talk all the time but we're still pretty close. He has a psycho girlfriend who makes it difficult. I told him we were trying when we first started but he hasn't brought it up since. Not sure if he forgot or just doesn't want to ask, either way I'm glad he doesn't bring it up.
TTC #1 since August 2013 DX: Endo November 2014: Hysteroscopy, D&C June - September 2015: Clomid + Novarel + IUI #1-3 January 2017: Laparoscopy - endo removed

What you're doing to get KTFU: We saw the RE and now we have a plan. RE said based on my history and recent bloodwork, my body likely has no idea what cycle day I'm on. RE prescribed me Clomid and I had my transvaginal ultrasound, bloodwork, I'm scheduled for my SIS, and h is scheduled for his SA. I also scheduled my ultrasounds for the month. I'm comfortable taking the Clomid while the tests are being done since I'm being monitored and had the u/s.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I'm excited but nervous. The RE was really nice and to the point. He answered every question and concern and told us we will likely have more and to call back. I'm just now getting how with IF, you give your entire schedule to your RE.
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I have one older brother who I am close with. I've told my SIL that I have PCOS and she knows that we are trying. I imagine she told him but he doesn't ask.

Rants/raves/chart stalks: Can someone take a look at my chart? I put in my temp for today and it gave me cross hairs on the 15th. My question is that I got a negative OPK on that date so how is this possible?
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I'm an only child but I do have cousins that I'm close to. Only my mother and my best friend know I'm TTC.

It looks like a temp shift to me...it's possible that you had a short surge and missed it with OPKs. I've yet to ever get a positive OPK, so I trust temps way more than those pee sticks.

Thanks for taking the time to look at it. This is really frustrating because we were planning on having EOD sex during my FW but since I didn't think my temp shift was going to happen so early we didn't focus on it. Even with temping I feel like this is a total crap shoot as to when you'll ovulate. Sorry I had to rant there for a sec.

Vent away! I feel the exact same way about never knowing when the hell I might ovulate. I can ovulate as early as day 30 or as late as day 42 so far...ovaries are tricky bitches, apparently.
What you're doing to get KTFU: AF has left the building!! Temping and sexing and OPKs starting CD 11
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I went shopping with my friend today for her wedding gown and she got an amazingly beautiful designer dress on clearance for 375!!! I l legitimately squeeed - it was kind of embarassing haha she looks so gorgeous and I'm so happy for her. She also "proposed" to me to be her MOH I'll attention whore pics in a bit if I can
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I technically am an only child but I was so close to my neighbours growing up that we refer to each other as siblings so: 2 older brothers and 1 older sister. Sis has her suspicions I think but we've told no-one so far.
What you're doing to get KTFU: BBT, PNVs, OPKs, Folgard
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Just waiting for AF to end. It's been a bitch this cycle.
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I have an older sis and younger bro. Yes, both know I am trying to conceive. My brother lives out of state and we talk regularly. My sis lives about a mile from me and she's my best friend.
Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been as active on here since it started. I've had a lot of appointments and "life issues" going on. I feel so behind!! I hope y'all are doing fabulous.

Rants/raves/chart stalks: I'm feeling pretty good. Still no positive OPK but I'm getting cramps and the lines are dark, so FX for the next day or so... Ugh I feel like I've been saying that forever.
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I have one sister who is 23 months younger than me. We are besties! She knows all, probably more than she wants, lol!
Rants/raves/chart stalks: waiting on AF to clear. It's been a pretty easy month, so typically those are the months when I spot for like 10 days!
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I have a brother who is 11 years older than me. We've never been very close. He recently moved several states away w/ his psycho FI. Nope, he does not know I'm TTC. I wish we were close, but it would mean more interaction w/ his FI & I'm not interested.
What you're doing to get KTFU: BBT, PNVs, OPKs, sex
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Nothing really. My only issue today is super nausea. Haven't actually thrown up but felt like I was going to all day. I know it's just my allergies, but it's still annoying.
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? 1. I'm pretty close with my brother, but they don't know we are TTC. It would be sort of awkward. I think he suspects though.

What you're doing to get KTFU: BBT, OPK, ED, Folic Acid
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I'm so happy I got my *first ever* darker-than-the-control-line positive wondfo OPK yesterday after so many oh-thats-like-halfway-dark-I'm-still-counting-it ones the previous 4 cycles. I am attributing the OPK success to luck and super concentrated pee I got when I accidentally dehydrated myself (I emptied my bladder before bed, only drank like 4oz of tea in the morning, then got stuck on a work call and had to hold my FMU till noon).
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? 2 sisters, Im a middle child (yay for middle children! kawaiikitsunewhatsitcarolinaheartBrewGirl). I'm closer with the younger than the older, but I only see them 1-2 times per year (different states), so were not really that close. Neither know for sure were TTC, but I suspect they assume were trying .
Ok, slightly stupid question. Yesterday on CD 15, I took a OPK with SMU that was negative, barely visable. Then, in the afternoon I took another that wasn't crazy dark but wayyy darker than the last three days of OPK testing. I did not test again because we are out of town and I forgot my OPKs. Though it wasn't a complete positive, is it pretty safe to say that I would have gotten one either yesterday or today?
ETA GTKY I have two brothers who are 10 and 8 years older than me. They know we are ttc
What you're doing to get KTFU: Alllll the sexy time!
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Better give me some CH this month, FF!
GTKY: How many siblings do you have? Are you close with them? Do they know you are TTC? I have five siblings (we are Irish Catholic) and they all know because we all get liquored up at family parties and then we all spill our guts to each other. It's a beautiful thing!
