CD: CD1 will either be today or tomorrow so I'm just going to play here
What are we doing: wallowing
R/R/Cs: cycle 10. Double digits. Fuck. Never thought I'd be here but here I am researching REs. Also I found out my drug addict cousin is pregnant today. Not a good way to start cycle 10. I'm seriously jealous of her. It's a strange feeling.
GTKY: I'm taking the plunge and dying my hair back to my natural color tomorrow. I'm terrified. I've been highlighting it blonde since I was 14. I have no idea what I will look like.
Oh man, sorry. Good luck with your hair, give us an update of how you like it!
R/R/CS: My temp went up some this morning so I'm hoping that I O'd. My temps have been all over the place this cycle so who knows. I've had some EWCM the last couple days so I'm staying cautiously optimistic!
GTKY: I'm hosting a baby shower on Sunday! Also I really need to make sure I get my taxes done this weekend.
Fingers crossed. I'm waiting for crosshairs at cd30, so I feel you. Let's bust outta this joint.
Yes please! These long cycles are the worst and need to GTFO. I'm so over this cycle. Hopefully the pain you have been feeling goes away and you don't have to see your doctor.
Gettin' KU'ed: PNV, temping, now I just need to add in the sex...
R/R/CS: Woke up at 2am to pee and was sort of weirded out by how much EWCM was there. O must be right around the corner. Been having watery or EWCM for almost a week now. Major temp drop yesterday (96.4, lowest temp I've EVER had) but still not up above normal cover line today and CM is still watery, so we're not there yet. Which is good, cause H's stress level is really putting a damper on our sex life this week. Hopefully we can remedy that tonight. None of my usual tricks are working to get him interested.
GTKY: We're either having friends over or going to the fireman's appreciation dinner tomorrow night. The rest of the weekend will probably be H working on his side job and me cleaning the house. The weather is supposed to turn back to crap, so it's an indoor kind of weekend.

Cycle/Month: 2/2
Day: What is this, day 10? I think so.
What are you doing to get pregnant?: Meh. Temping, checking CP and CM halfheartedly.
R/R/CS: Nothing really. My weeks go by too quickly now that I only have one day off
GTKY: What are y'all doing this weekend?: Gender reveal party tonight for my BIL and SIL. Her mom always uses the same restaurant for catering purposes which means DH and I will probably be stuck nibbling on veggie sticks for dinner. Oh well, veggie sticks are yummy. And they'll probably have a fruit bowl so there's that, too! I have no idea about Saturday. The weather is perfect for the zoo, though!

What are you doing to get pregnant?: pnvs, opks, cm, sex
R/R/CS: I feel very patient so far and not completely obsessed with ttc. I'm enjoying it while it lasts. I'm sure I will start getting impatient and antsy next week.
GTKY: What are y'all doing this weekend? I have to work tomorrow
anonymouseliza, good luck at work and I hope you do bust outta here soon!
FX diamondsndaisies. Non-armslength transfers can be tough. I hope everything turns out the way you want!
Its going to solve a lot of problems for everybody so I can't see why it wouldn't but that would be my luck if it doesn't.
I'm sure it'll be fine I've just seen some get heated and emotional. It sounds like you have everyone on the same page, so FX it all goes through as planned! I'm sure it will

I have as well. My family owns a title company and I have seen people do some terrible things to each other over land/house. Its sad to see.
Keeping everything crossed that tonight goes well, ruthgoose and kellybenelly83! @fleurbeth, I'm so sorry, that's never a good feeling daisy818, ((HUGS)) people suck and don't know when to STFU. Especially in a professional setting.
I got my CH's so I will heading to the other side. Good luck, everyone!!
He came home when I laid DS down for nap and made up for it. I was just whiny because it's crucial timing right now so I stress about making sure we hit it! Especially because he has a busy weekend and won't be home much. I'm happy now! Lol

That's awesome! Yeah, it just so happens that DH and I always seem to have some kind of disagreement around the time I'm ovulating so I just hear him out and say, "Ok, we can work on this, but I really don't want either of us to be in a bad mood because it's an important time of the month!" And then he knows what I mean and we're usually ok
Question! Is there ever an excuse for discarding a temp? Here's the thing... I've only had 1 positive OPK this cycle, on CD26. It coincided with a temp rise so I think I may have caught the tail end of my surge. CD23 was a Saturday and I know for a fact I temped a few hours later than normal, and probably after waking up once or twice beforehand. If I discard that temp, I get dotted CH's for CD25. Can I get a chart stalk please? Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!

I'm not a FF person... is there a way to give it an open circle or something to say "hey, I measured this temp, but it was under funny conditions." I wouldn't discard it completely especially since it is "lowish" as far as your temps go, and in my experience disruptions incl. sleeping in lead to higher temps.
... I guess I'm giving myself away for lurking in WTO ... Hey everybody! CD 13 here and TTA atm. Wump wump.

I just happened to catch this question.
What if you mark the temp as sleep deprived? I realize that doesn't completely explain why the temp might be wonky, but FF gives an open circle if you mark sleep deprived. It basically tells FF that the temp may not be completely reliable when analyzing that month's chart.

Thanks for the reply I have a default time set so that I don't get open circles for different temping times, so I don't know any other way to "discount" it, other than discarding.

Marking it as sleep deprived does give me an open circle, but no CH's. I've never found CM to be a reliable fertility sign for me so I'm only going on temps and OPK's, which I abandoned after CD21 for no good reason. Really wish I would have kept using them. I think I'll give it a few more days, maybe until April 1st, and see if FF comes up with CH's on it's own. Thank you ^_^
What are you doing to get pregnant?: charting, OPKs, sex when we can
R/R/CS: I think.... that I may have ovulated really early this cycle, because the first OPK I took on CD 15 was about half as light as the control, and it got even ligher the next 2 days and these last two days there has been 0 line. I'm not sure what my body is doing right now, but I'm still assuming that I just haven't ovulated yet because my last cycle was so long. Chart is in siggie if anyone wants to stalk.
GTKY: What are y'all doing this weekend? I'm cooking for my H. Spaghetti with meat sauce! We don't really have a whole lot of time together, so I'm going to the store tonight and I'll cook the meat for it tonight and then heat it up tomorrow.
I don't think you've O'ed yet. You don't really have a sustained temp increase of more than a day or so anywhere in there. Keep in mind you can have more than one LH surge in a cycle without ovulating.
kcones88 - I agree with LadyNymeria. Mark it as sleep deprived and maybe FF will be able to use that info to still give you CH when you think you O'd. Or your temps for the next few days may also help to confirm that O was on CD25.
Sorry for all the CD1's!
Cycle/Month: 7/6
Day: 9
What are you doing to get pregnant?: BBT, CM, will start OPK's on Monday, will start EOD soon!
R/R/CS: With all the work stress I've been dealing with this week, I feel like my fertile window kinda snuck up on me... how is it already CD9?! I typically O around CD14-15, so we need to get busy...
GTKY: What are y'all doing this weekend? Relaxing at home tonight with DH and watching Gone Girl!!! Dinner with my family tomorrow for some yummy Chicago style pizza. And the usual chores and running errands.

Are you just getting off BC?
+1. It doesn't look like you've O'd yet. I don't see a clear temp shift in your chart for this cycle.

No I've been off since January and this is my second cycle after it.
Should have clarified "just". 2 cycles off BC, this chart and your previous one make a lot more sense to me.

Ah, well like I've had a full cycle since I've been off so I figured that didn't count as "just" getting off. Both of our moms got pregnant with us right after going off BC, I guess I'm not as lucky
Yea, but their fertility has no bearing on your fertility.
It is totally, 100% normal for it to take months for your body to re-adjust to you being off BC. The longer cycles make sense in the context of this only being your second cycle off of it because it makes sense your body would still be trying to get itself back on track after having its hormones regulated for it for so long.
