Monday WTO

[ohinvrtedworld]

Morning, all!

Cycle/Month: 4/5

CD: 2

What are you doing to get KU? pnvs, green tea, OPKs, temping. Gotta get some little dixie cups to pee in!

RRCS: These cramps suck! I took a break from temping but I need to get back into it this month. It always takes me a few days to remember why my alarm is going off so early, lol.

GTKY: super serious question - crispy or soft bacon? (There is only one right answer)

So, so crispy. I can't handle bacon that's soft.

What are you doing to get KU? PNV, CM, CP, OPK, doin' it, pom juice

RRCS: Whelp, according to my temps I did not ovulate. All signs of fertility (CM, CP, OPK) have gone away.  Anybody wanna look at my chart and tell me what in sam hill you think is going on with me?  I also wish I was of more help to you guys on this forum, but I"m just not experienced enough just yet to offer any valuable advice. But thank you for yours

GTKY: super serious question - crispy or soft bacon? (There is only one right answer) Crispy all the way

My Ovulation Chart

why so many discarded temps?

ETA - nvm I just saw that you had entered sleep deprived for some of them. honestly I would still keep the temps you have discarded in and just make a note like you have. I'd only take them out if you are really thinking you O'd, have consistent high temps and no CH (which may end up happening anyway) to see if you end up getting some.

you are likely not getting crosshairs because there is simply not enough reliable data with all the missing/discarded temps + open circles. If you get a slow rise in temps they may show up in a few days, and if they don't you can always manually enter them. my guess is that in a few days you'll get dotted CH at CD25 based on secondary signs if your temps stay where they are or higher. 

I'd keep HIO just in case and try extra hard next cycle to temp every day.

HTH!

What are you doing to get KU? nothing

RRCS: Well last cycle I was 62 or so days and it looks like this cycle I'm heading in that direction too. Oh! And MH and I have been on a bit of a dry spell idk what the deal is but he just does not want to have sex and it is really starting to lower my self esteem. So this is just a fucking lovely cycle.

GTKY: Soft or crispy bacon? Crispy of course!!







***stuck in box***

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. I know a while ago I simply had zero sex drive due to bcp, and stress/fatigue from being overworked and DH finally told me that he had been feeling like you are (re: the low self-esteem). I felt really bad and tried to explain where I was coming from. One stress went away my drive returned.

I guess my TL;DR is don't take it to heart! tell him how you feel

Wait, you discarded them and marked them as sleep deprived? But I thought when I asked you said you slept well...?

What are you doing to get KU?: PNVs, temping, opks, sex, etc

RRCS: Think O is coming today, but we'll see tomorrow morning I guess. I don't have high hopes for this cycle even though our timing is good.

GTKY: super serious question - crispy or soft bacon? (There is only one right answer)
Crispy, of course. I mean I'll eat soft if it's all that's there, because bacon, but crispy is definitely better.

What are you doing to get KU? Nothing ATM, and it's kinda freaking me out.

RRCS: We are on vacation through Friday this week, and somehow I managed to forget both my BBT and PNVs. Temping right now isn't a huge deal as it's been shark week since we left, but I have been SO good about doing it every morning for the last six months and now I'm afraid I'll have lost the habit by the time I get home.

GTKY: super serious question - crispy or soft bacon? (There is only one right answer) I'm not a huge bacon fan. We usually have turkey bacon at my house, if any. *ducks*

Hi teraiin, LOL at Baggies of Bacon. I'm a really good sleeper, and have been super good about getting my temp at the same time. The culprit is either temping orally or my thermometer. I mean, it's a generic Rite Aid brand...in any case, would be nice if there was some other way to confirm O actually happened...FX to you!  Have fun HIO!!

Hmm, I wonder why FF is giving you open circles then? I had a dream the other night that they developed a test similar to the testing my dad does every morning for his diabetes (finger poke) and it would tell you if you ovulated. LOL Random.

Anyway, there are some much better chart stalkers around here who might be able to give you more insight. Paging Sparkly. She does some very good chart stalks. Maybe she can help you. (Sorry for the page, hope you don't mind!) ((and not that other people don't do good chart stalks... LOL))

 Thanks for the page teraiin, I am flattered and don't mind at all! (I was actually lurking here already, lol.)

momomel, question - why did you discard yesterday's temp? In general, why all the discarded temps?

To me, CD24 looks like O based on secondary signs. You need 3 high temps to confirm, so you wouldn't get CHs until tomorrow if that's the case. If all your temps were in there, I would say no O yet... but maybe you are a mouth breather or there is something up with your BBT? I don't know. Keep HIO just in case and see what happens tomorrow/next few days. If you get a more significant spike (like 97.7-97.8 or above) I'd be inclined to confirm CD24 as O day.


ETA: This thread is making me want ALL THE BACON RIGHT MEOW!! I like it crispy, but not burnt. And BTW, the BEST (and easiest) way to make PERFECT bacon is in the oven! God, I freaking love bacon.

LOL. Immediately after I said I was resisting the temptation, I gave into it. I have no self control when it comes to TTC. Thank you kindly for your input. Imma go ahead and put these temps back and hope for higher temps in coming days because, frankly, I am tired of HIO.

She may have already, since when I initially looked at her chart there were no discarded temps and she told me she was a good sleeper (page 1 of thread) but now she has some marked as deprived sleep?

I agree though, messing around with stuff doesn't usually end well and often makes things even more confusing.\

Edited: I see you're going to put them back. Good choice. Data, accurate (even if we don't like how it looks...) data is always good

Okay here's the thing: CD25 does not need to be discarded - unless there's some reason you think that temp is horribly wrong - such as you drank 2 gallons of wine the drink before or you temped 5 hours late after walking around for an hour. If that's the case, don't bother temping. If anything, that temp is going to help the case for O on CD24, depending on tomorrow's temp.

Also, CD22. I know you *think* it will probably throw off your CHs, but FF is smart, and it shouldn't. According to the rules of FAM, you can use what they call the "rule of thumb" and "cover" one high temp with your thumb, then take the other 6 previous temps for confirming O with 3 higher than the previous 6. Does that make sense?

I'm not even looking at your chart prior to CD18, because you only need the most recent temps to confirm O. Many people have high or rocky temps during their period and the earlier part of their cycle, then they drop and/or level out prior to O. Look at my chart. I had some crazy temps due to travel (that's why they're open circles, we're talking temping 4 hours off my normal time due to early/late flights and crossing two time zones). I left them in, and I still got CHs when I should have.

What are you doing to get KU?
temping & CM, obviously sex


RRCS:
I don't think I am going to get CH this month and its making me go batty. My chart is all over the place and I don't know if I even ovulated at all. I *supposed* to get my period by the end of the week but Im not even sure when that will happen. I hate not knowing what is going on. Having the flu during my FW really screwed things up. 


GTKY: super serious question - crispy or soft bacon? (There is only one right answer) In between. I don't like it so crispy that it just snaps and crumbles, but I don't like it super soft either.

Good morning ladies!

Sparkly, however did you know I drank 2 gallons of wine on Sat night / CD24?! LOL. That us exactly what I did - no way is CD25 accurate. Popping CD22 back in there. The "rule of thumb" does make sense. Thank you so much for your help!  First month temping and I am still learning.

Ha. Okay, then. Well, that clouds my judgment on O'ing CD24, but maybe it was CD25 or not at all yet...

Honestly, I still wouldn't discard the temp, because it's not crazy high. Usually when I drink (a lot) my temp spikes significantly. Like over 98 when my pre-O temps are 97.0-97.4 range. At the moment your secondary signs really point to O'ing CD24 if you get another high temp or two, but all you can do at this point is wait.

What are you doing to get KU? stuff

RRCS: Okay body, ovulate already. Last month I ovulated at cd15, which was earlier than my usual. For some reason I thought this might be a trend, so we started having sex earlier this month. Now I'm over the sex, and still waiting for my body to show signs that ovulation is near, not that I've really been worrying about secondary signs -- I'm officially lazy about these things now.

GTKY: super serious question - crispy or soft bacon? (There is only one right answer)

just slightly crispy -- right on the line between the two. If bacon is too crispy it starts to taste like cardboard.

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, CM, ALL THE SEXXX AND WATER!!!! I'm thinking of using an OPK today but maybe I'll start that up next month to get a better range of idea.
RRCS: It's Monday. I think that about sums it up. ETA: I honestly thought I had O'd CD 17 since I had EWCM and some spotting and my temp kept climbing the next day but then it dropped a tiny bit today and my CM keeps shifting from watery to creamy to almost dry over the last two days so now I'm just confused and impatient.
GTKY: super serious question - crispy or soft bacon? (There is only one right answer) Mmmm Crispy. I don't like it burnt or anywhere near burnt and I don't really like it splintering into pieces after one bite because that's messy, but I hate it soft. So...medium-Crispy. Or medium-well-Crispy. Whatever explains what I said Lol

GTKY: super serious question - crispy or soft bacon? (There is only one right answer) crispy but not burnt. I grew up with my parents overcooking all meat and we only ever had super dry turkey bacon, so I'm just starting to appreciate the deliciousness of real bacon.

housecarder hope you get a temp shift soon after your trigger

What are you doing to get KU? BBT, PNV, CBFM, trying out OPK's. And trying to have a lot of sexxy time.

RRCS: Nothing specifically - I'm just hoping that I O this cycle. Since I can have all the sex in the world, but if I'm not O'ing then I won't ever GKU!

GTKY: super serious question - crispy or soft bacon? (There is only one right answer)
I like my bacon crispy, but not burned. I've started doing my bacon in the oven and it comes out PERFECTLY. Once you bake it, you'll never bother with pan frying again.

[paloslee]

Still waiting for CD 1!!! I have been spotting since 12 DPO. Took a test on 13 DPO and got a BFN! I even stop temping on CD 30 thinking AF was here. So i am now in this in between stage. My cycles have been 30-32 since stopping BCP in Oct. Today is CD 32 so Im assuming AF will be here soon!

What are you doing to get KU? nothing at the moment!

What are you doing to get KU? BBT. Sex. Vitamins.

My Ovulation Chart

I'm sure someone else has answered this too, but just in case they haven't...

You're not out yet. You can have multiple instances of fertile CM in a cycle, so you may have geared up to ovulate but your body didn't pull the trigger, so to speak. Your chart is definitely rocky, though. Are you discarding temps? I can't remember under what circumstances FF removes the lines between temps, but I believe it's when you discard temps. Are you temping at a consistent time or after a consistent amount of sleep whenever possible?

Keep temping and see what happens. It could just be an usually long cycle. Particularly if you just got off BCP, you're likely to be somewhat irregular for a while.

ETA: Never mind, I see this conversation went on for quite a bit after your post... nothing to see here, folks.

[pismoduo]

Cycle/Month: 5/5

CD: 17

Getting KU'ed: Sex, PNVs, lots of water.

R/R/CS: Two days of cramping and spotting with super low temps. I have no idea what's going on with my body right now. I don't normally get spotting prior to O. Feels like my body is dancing around O but refuses to do it. Which, no biggy, it's still early in this cycle for me. So annoying though.

GTKY Bacon Edition: When we say "soft" what exactly do we mean? I'm not a huge fan of hard, crunchy bacon, but I don't like soggy, limp meat either (that's what she said). Mostly it depends on what the bacon is going on/in/with. For sandwiches, a softer (but not totally soft) bacon is the way I tend to go. But on a salad or with breakfast foods, crispier bacon.
