What are you doing to get knocked up? Sex, BBT, CM, OPKs
R/R/CS: had a positive OPK yesterday and negative today, so I'm really hoping I ovulate today!
GTYK: I woke to the sounds of birds chirping 30 minutes before my alarm went off. Darn birds!! And it's dark, drizzling, and chilly, so it's not even a beautiful day.

What are you doing to get knocked up? At this point, just waiting to see if the next few days' temps are high like today.
R/R/CS: DH is doing 12 hour shifts, 6-6, for the next two weeks. He has to get up at 4 and the man doesn't have a sense of how to get ready without turning on all the damn lights and waking me up. So I'm hoping that today's BBT jump was real and not just from my interrupted sleep.
GTYK: Overcast and sprinkling. We are in for a week of rainy weather.
Married 10/10/10! TTC Baby #1 since April 2014 BFP Oct 16 - EP terminated Nov 6 2014 Off the Bench January 2015! BFP #2 June 1 2015 - EDD Feb 12 2016! Baby Boy born 15th February 2016!
What are you doing to get knocked up? I'm starting the CBFM this evening.
R/R/CS: My allergies suck.
GTYK: What woke you up this morning, and what kind of weather did you have? MH woke me up at 6 am because I had slipped down under the pillow. It's pretty dreary today.
What are you doing to get knocked up? all the things
R/R/CS: Can I get a chart stalk? I got dotted crosshairs this morning, but I think FF is drunk. The high temp on CD17 was def from drinking if that matters. Linky
GTYK: What woke you up this morning, and what kind of weather did you have? DH woke me up because I slept through all my alarms. Ugh. This morning is pretty cool since we had some huge thunderstorms roll through yesterday. Sunny and cool.

pbandj714 - CH don't look too crazy to me, really. Those three temps are all consistently high, which you haven't had before this cycle. Hopefully the next few days/weeks stay high to confirm!

Cycle/Month: 11/11
CD: 22 (and probably 2DPO)
What we are doing: nothing now. Just waiting for CHs and nagging DH to call and make his SA appointment
R/R/Cs: I finally went thru and discarded my fever temps. I was inputting dummy temps last night and no matter what I did FF wouldn't give me CHs with all of those ridiculously high temps from being sick for 2 weeks. So now my chart isn't as crazy looking. But I hate having gaping holes in information.
GTKY: I'm an extremely light sleeper. We had our bedroom windows open and the blinds were lightly tapping against the window frame and woke me up at like 3.
ETA: it's sunny and beautiful here. A little cooler than it has been which is good. I have to go downtown for work and I'm going to park where my work will pay for parking and then walk to meet my mom for lunch. I don't want to be all sweaty for my meeting haha.

Good luck with the CBFM, @wallflwr926! I used it for a couple cycles as well. (Side note: I ended up going back to advanced OPK's because I was getting multiple LH surges and the CBFM isn't equipped to deal with that. But I liked it - overall)
Cycle/Month: 7/8

What are you doing to get knocked up? All the things!
R/R/CS: This part of my cycle is so boring. Yawn.
GTYK: What woke you up this morning, and what kind of weather did you have? It was hot and muggy in Connecticut. Today we are supposed to have a high of 90 and then tomorrow a high of 70. Gotta love new england weather.
pbandj714, dotted CHs seem right to me--I wouldn't be surprised if they did turn out to be correct, but, if I were in your shoes, I'd still HIO for a few more days to see what happens.

What are you doing to get knocked up? blerg
R/R/CS: Being in the same room with H would probably give us better odds...
What are you doing to get knocked up? Sex, still trying to decide if I'll chart much or just go with the flow
R/R/CS: Last 2 cycles hit me hard, and I'm afraid each cycle going forward is only going to get harder
GTYK: What woke you up this morning, and what kind of weather did you have? I woke up on my own prior to my alarm going off because the sun was coming in so bright (and we have really dark curtains). We've had several days of rain now so I'm happy it's a bright, dry day today! Not super warm though, it's in the 40's.
R/R/CS: still waiting on O...around this time is typical, but I feel like I have been waiting forever...
GTYK: What woke you up this morning, and what kind of weather did you have? My alarm... I was in a super deep sleep and it totally startled me. It is sunny and beautiful here!

What are you doing to get knocked up? right now, sex if my CM doesn't dry up and PNVs
R/R/CS: I'm pretty sure I O-ed yesterday based on past cycles/secondary signs but I will hang out here until I'm pretty sure!
GTYK: What woke you up this morning, and what kind of weather did you have? It's gray and windy out. I just woke up naturally. Allergies are kicking my butt so I needed to blow my nose.
lemoncupcake, My SO is the same exact way. Sometimes he even tries to talk to me. GTFO and leave me alone! Meanwhile I close the door, tiptoe around, and turn on as few lights as possible. Drives me nucking futs!

What are you doing to get knocked up? Things and stuff. I **think** AF is gone so I need to start temping. Hoping I don't O until next week because ain't nobody got time for sex during hell week.
R/R/CS: I. Am. Fucking. Tired. And stressed. And more tired. See the randoms thread.
GTYK: What woke you up this morning, and what kind of weather did you have? I woke up to my alarm for once. Usually I wake up like 30 minutes + before it. As much as I hate waking up before my alarm, I hate when it wakes me up even more because it means I was actually sleeping for once.
Weather was cloudy and foggy and rainy and gross. It was about 50F, but supposed to get up to 85F today. We shall see.

I would also like to say that I don't use an alarm. I didn't have an alarm clock (or a cell phone all thru high school and most of college). I kind of just trained myself to wake up around 6 but I still sleep in on weekends. DH thinks it's strange. I don't like being startled awake by alarms so it works for me. However I have a few times overslept and been super late for work haha.

That's what I would do too, because I'm a DECENT HUMAN BEING. I think I'm going to ask that he bring all of his stuff and clothes into the extra bathroom and get ready in there for the rest of these early shifts. I'm such a crappy sleeper that it's hard for me to be woken up like that and then settle back down.

That's so bizarre to me! I love sleeping and need several alarms to get my butt out of bed every day.

Having pets helps. They sort of function as alarm clocks. The dog starts walking around jingling her tags and the cats start banging on the basement door because they want breakfast. DH could sleep for days without his alarm haha.

My body must HATE hearing alarms, because I almost always wake up about 5 minutes before it's supposed to go off. Creepy how it knows.

Good luck with the move, motleycrew90. I just did it and know what a disruption it can be! pbandj714 - if your high temps on CD 5, 8 and 17 were due to drinking the night before, FF may be right about O. I usually check "drinking" in the specs section so I can keep track of that. Hugs to rablissful! Good luck this cycle, @pennygirl2013!
Cycle/Month: Cycle 5 (3 AL - benched)
CD: 11
What are you doing to get knocked up? Vitamins and charting while we're benched. Next cycle - all the sex!
R/R/CS: RANT ALERT! I skipped temping most of this weekend because I was vacationing and drinking and such, so I have a hole in my data. But the temps I do have are almost all open circles. The one solid dot I have is actually the outlier in the times I have temped! I have 7:10, 6:05, 5:10, 6:45, and 7:00 am. They are all within an hour of each other except the 5:10 am, and that is the only solid dot I have! WTF? Generally my temp time is 7:00 am, so I don't know why FF would call 5:10 my normal. Will open dots set me up for less-than-accurate O predictions from FF? [Paging joy and bunnyfungo who said they missed the silly charting questions.]
GTYK: What woke you up this morning, and what kind of weather did you have? My alarm woke me up. High pollen all week - I could barely swallow because my tonsils were so inflamed! It is 82 degrees and starting to get muggy. If I have to deal with summer humidity, I shouldn't have to also deal with spring pollen. That just isn't fair.

Honestly, I don't offer FertilityFriend a time for temping. I just have it set it "N/A" so all my circles are solid.
If you temped correctly and are confident in the temp, just turn off any default time.
Post by lemoncupcake on May 12, 2015 10:34:56 GMT -5
shadesofgold, I'd put them all at your default time and just make a note of the actual temp time. They're all so close together that the time is pretty irrelevant.
shadesofgold I get open circles all the time because I want to sleep til whenever I can sleep. Sometimes I wake and temp at 5:15, sometimes at 6:45. Though sometimes the temps are definite outliers, I've never had a problem seeing a clear temp shift for O. If you are still able to see a clear shift, don't worry about it too much.
R/R/CS: I've only just started temping, so I'm wondering if I should add OPKs to get a better handle on when I O? Not putting too much stock into much this month as I just came off BC.
GTYK: What woke you up this morning, and what kind of weather did you have? My Fitbit woke me up. The vibration on my wrist is a much more gentle wake up than my alarm. And anything to make 3:30AM more tolerable works for me. Weather is typical PNW weather. Gearing up for the famous June gloom.

Thanks bunnyfungo, joy, jags8 & lemoncupcake. It is strange because I don't have a default time set in FF. I followed the advice to set all times to N/A. My last two cycles haven't had the clearest temp spike at O, so part of this is wanting to eliminate any doubts in FF and part of it is just chart vanity.
