You blot up everything you can with paper towel or an old crappy towel. Like stamp on it with your feet if you have to. Mix water and vinegar in a spray bottle and spray the area. Make it wet again. Blot it all up again. Sprinkle the area with baking soda and massage it into the mattress - it's gross but do it anyway. Let it dry COMPLETELY and then vacuum it up. Repeat if necessary. I only had to do it once and it took all the smell almost all the stain out. Ovs is works better if you catch it "fresh" so to speak
I now feel like I need to invest in a hammock. I can tell the previous owners of our how had one because they still have the hanging hardware installed between two posts on our covered porch. cnf2013, you are a teacher yes? Did you just get on permanent? Also - sorry for the CD1 pippacricket,
I am! I got a teaching job in a super shitty urban district right out of college, then got cut to such a low part time position it would have cost me more money than I would have made to stay there. So I spent a few years working in public health doing substance abuse education for the county. Just got a new teaching job this year. I am pumped to have summer off again!
ETA: You should totally get a hammock. That shit is the tits!

That's awesome! Congrats I just got hired on permanently as well and was finally able to cut my waitressing job. I am actually giddy about the prospect of having actual vacation time. Not sure what I'm going to do with myself yet
R/R/CS: my temp continues to be rocky. I may try temping vaginally next month or I might try a new bbt. It will give me two different readings (by .3 degrees) when I take my temp one right after the other. Any suggestions whether it might be the thermometer or should I change it to vaginally next month? I use the ReliOn bbt from wal mart. Last cycle I was able to see a definite temp shift though.
Why are you temping twice? Just take your temp, plug it in & move on. Temping vaginally would probably give you more consistent temps or you could try a new thermometer if you want. My understanding is ReliOn = Mabis, which is recommended most here so that's probably not the issue.
Don't read too much in to a single temp. You're looking at an overall pattern. And for serious -- temp once. Just once.
I guess I temped twice a couple times only because the temps have been rocky so I wanted I see if it would give me the same thing the second time. I'll stop and just go with whatever I get. Thanks for your input.

The obvious answer is buy a hammock and take naps in it! Also, as a side note, they make for fun sexy time assuming your neighbors can't see you

Haha nice. We are thinking of installing outdoor curtains on our back porch for this reason lol
R/R/CS: The dog kept me awake starting at about 3am, so the temp I did manage to record after about 2hrs of sleep is BS. Way too high. I marked it as sleep deprived in FF. Also, it's snowing here, and all my activities for today got cancelled. WOOT. I think I may start day drinking!
GTKY: (For all of us suffering through the cold this winter.) Warm us up! What is your favorite warm weather activity??
BASEBALL! Not sure if we're going to be able to make another stadium tour this summer, though. We won't be able to take the time we usually do because of MH's schedule, but I think we can swing a tour of Texas in (added bonus I've never been there) to see the Astros and Rangers. I am so happy Pitchers and Catchers reported for the Sox yesterday - even though it's snowing, I still feel like spring is almost here
R/R/CS: I'm just glad it's Saturday. My work weeks have been so busy lately, and last weekend we were out of town, so it just feels nice to be in my own home and not have to go to work. Though I do have to spend most of the afternoon doing taxes...
GTKY: (For all of us suffering through the cold this winter.) Warm us up! What is your favorite warm weather activity?? Running!!! I know that some people run in the winter too but I just don't like it. I run periodically throughout the winter to stay in decent shape but I don't enjoy cold weather running. Can't wait for spring!!!
That's shitty I have a good way to get cat pee out of a mattress, idk if it would help with blood though.
I would love to hear your remedy anyway because I have a cat. She's never peed on the mattress before but there's always a first time. Because she's a cat and they can't be trusted. Lol.
What about peroxide? (For the mattress?) cold water and an old toothbrush scrub scrub scrub. That's what I do for period misses in my underpants. (Is this weird to say? I'm sorry lol)
Ray, I will keep your pee removal method for for future reference. Luckily(?) my shithead cats just poo on the floor occasionally; never pee.
Me: 29, PCOS with slight IR and slightly elevated DHEA-S. HSG all clear, SHG shows a couple cysts but besides that, all normal. Prescribed Metformin. H: 40, Low motility, morph and volume. Meeting with urologist & repeat SA in August to see if anything can be done to improve numbers.

R/R/CS: Nothing today.
GTKY: (For all of us suffering through the cold this winter.) Warm us up! What is your favorite warm weather activity?? I like being outside. Taking my daughter to the park, swimming, going to the zoo.

R/R/CS: Meh. I had a period of random annoyingly sharp cramps on my left side. MH was all like "oh hey maybe that's some pregnancy/get pregnant thing!" (LMAO at the terminology he used) I can't be convinced it was anything other than indigestion.
Also, I'm thinking of not temping during AF in the future. I know I've read on here that some people don't.
GTKY: (For all of us suffering through the cold this winter.) Warm us up! What is your favorite warm weather activity?? Lounging by my in-laws pool.

GTKY: (For all of us suffering through the cold this winter.) Warm us up! What is your favorite warm weather activity?? Hiking probably. Or just sitting outside reading.

This is my first month of BC and my first time posting in a WTO thread. I am getting impatient to O so I know my body is back on track after BC. Also, I think I need to start charting vaginally next month. My Ovulation Chart
Cycle/Month:1/1
CD: 21
GKU: TTA for now, bbt and cm to get the hang of it and figure out my body before TTC in May
R/R/CS: I don't know what this stands for...
GTKY: Drinking around a fire pit with friends on a warm summer night

teachermomtobe, it stands for "Rants, Raves, Chart Stalk", where you can add any relevant info or ask for a chart stalk if something is confusing you or you have a question.
I am impatient to O this month also. It's driving me crazy for some reason! Maybe because this is the first month that we've ramped up our trying from NTNP. I've looked at my chart like 383492 times today.

Cycle/Month: 7/7
CD: 5
GKU: Waiting for the spotting to stop. I'm ready for the secks!!
R/R/CS: nothing for now
GTKY: (For all of us suffering through the cold this winter.) Warm us up! What is your favorite warm weather activity?? Just playing in the back yard with the kids.
what are you doing to get KU? Nothing today. Still temping (orally). - Decided I would go straight through this month.
R/R/CS:**TMI Alert** Today has been fantastic so far.(Not really). I woke to find that I had bled straight through to the mattress. Apparently, this month I will be in need of the super max overnight pads. I usually only need a pad for two days at most but I'm guessing it will be a three or four day event this cycle. Just great.
GTKY: (For all of us suffering through the cold this winter.) Warm us up! What is your favorite warm weather activity?? A short hike on the trails near our house. Drinking on the deck is also nice.
I did this once. I would recommend a mattress cover! Easy clean up!
