R/R/CS: I really thought I was getting my period yesterday, but it turned out to just be heavy spotting. Today is for sure CD1 though.
GTKY: Once in college when I was 21, a bartender said he would give me and all my friends free drinks if I flashed him. I was already half in the bag, so I did. No regrets.

Cycle: 5 (3 AL - benched)
CD:24
What are you doing to GKU? Vitamins and charting until next cycle.
R/R/CS: can I get a chart stalk on some advice? I usually temp between 7-730. This morning I woke up at 5:55, before my alarm. I temped first thing and got 97.01. Which is super low for me. I went right back to sleep for another 1.5 hours, woke at my alarm and logged a second temp - 97.90, which is that temp spike I've been waiting for. It makes much more sense with my CM and OPK, and my averages. I'm trying not to have chart vanity, but not sure what is actually most logical to record?
GTKY: Have you ever been nude or semi-nude in public? (Ex: skinny dipping, flashing, etc.) This question was inspired by me being in New Orleans this weekend! All my public nudity was back in high school, like skinnydipping at the river and playing "freeze out", which wasn't really a game, just taking off our tops in a car with all the windows open.
R/R/CS:I really thought I'd see a temp spike this morning. I'll be really pissed if I get another fake out from my body (peak readings on the advanced opk, but no O. It happened a few cycles ago. )
GTKY: Have you ever been nude or semi-nude in public? (Ex: skinny dipping, flashing, etc.)
What are you doing to GKU? Waiting for bleeding to stop and FW.
R/R/CS: I'm so thankful that I'm finally starting to feel normal again. I'm actually really looking forward to going to the Dr. next week to start getting some answers.
GTKY: Have you ever been nude or semi-nude in public? (Ex: skinny dipping, flashing, etc.) Absolutely not.

I know everyone always says to use your first temp, but I would use the second if it makes more sense.
What are you doing to GKU? Baseline ultrasound tomorrow then taking letrozole with FX the left ovary grows some eggs! I have also started doing acupuncture, so hopefully that does something!
R/R/CS: I hate letrozole, it always leaves me wondering if it is a true period as it is so light....the cramps help me know :/
GTKY: Have you ever been nude or semi-nude in public? (Ex: skinny dipping, flashing, etc.)-I was in the army and in basic and some of the training posts it was like a giant locker room of showers so I was naked in front of like 30 chicks at a time. That is about as publically naked as I ever have been!
shadesofgold-I would log the first one and see what the next 2 days brings. If the temps are high, then you will know you may have O'd a day earlier. If they are not you will know to keep HIO.
penguin129-I record whenever I see it (creamy, watery, or EW). I don't check internally so it is just what I see which has worked so far.
Cycle: 2/2 CD: 13 What are you doing to GKU: sex, temping, CM R/R/CS: fertility signs picking up, hoping I O soon and can see it in the temps! GTKY: yes. I have been skinny dipping a bunch and also when I did study abroad in Spain we would go topless at the beach to not look like tourists.
R/R/CS:started things up last night even though FW isn't until Wed. Sex w/o BC felt weirdly raunchy.
GTKY: Have you ever been nude or semi-nude in public? Yep, college years. Went skinny dipping with friends in the lake, but it was dark. So sort of nude?
R/R/CS: so I had dotted CH yesterday. This morning I had a really low temp of 96.99 so FF took them away. I went back to sleep for about 2.5 more hours and took it again when I woke up- it was 98.59 then. FF suggested not to get rid of temps that were taken at the correct time, which the low temp was so I'll leave it. I'm sure my body just doesn't know what's going on yet since it's the first month off Nuvaring.
GTKY: have you ever been nice or semi-nude in public? No- maybe DH and I need to skinny dip in our pool this summer.

Cycle: 11
CD: 8
What are you doing to GKU? Bbt, opks starting around cd14, green tea.
R/R/CS: no mucho at the moment. A little irritated that my Beauty and the Beast bluray keeps dropping the sound. Wtf.
GTKY: Have you ever been nude or semi-nude in public? (Ex: skinny dipping, flashing, etc.) I've always wanted to go skinny dipping, but never had a good chance. I definitely earned meself some beads at a Halloween party once while super intoxicated, but that's about it.

Cycle: 12 (3 AL)
CD: 16
What are you doing to GKU? opks and eod sex
R/R/CS: My temp was exactly 97 this morning.
GTKY: Have you ever been nude or semi-nude in public? (Ex: skinny dipping, flashing, etc.) I am surprised how many NOs there are to this question. Maybe I was a bit of an exhibitionist. So yes. Most memorable public naked experience was skinny dipping in the huge fountain at my college on my 19th birthday with about 100 other people.
shadesofgold- I honestly would use the second temp, since it's from the time of day that you usually temp. For some women, it's best to temp after their longest stretch of sleep, but for others it's best to temp at the same time every day. I've noticed that on days when I have to get up an hour early for work (and have to temp an hour earlier than usual), my temp can be up to an entire degree lower than my normal, which shows me that time of day has a huge effect on what my temp is. It sounds like it's probably the same way for you. Whichever temp you use, make a note of the other one (since they're so different) and hopefully your temps the next couple days will make it clear if you've O'd or not.
penguin129- I check CM externally, so I usually start checking and recording as soon as AF ends, usually around CD7. I tend to have sticky/creamy CM for a few days and then watery/EW for the days leading up to O.
Cycle/Month: 9/8
CD: 13
What are you doing to GKU? All the things. Plus adding in pom juice (me) and zinc (DH) this cycle.
R/R/CS: So... I think I might have a UTI? I've never had one before so I'm not totally sure if that's what it is. It's just really uncomfortable down there... I asked my mom for advice (she's a nurse), and she doesn't think it sounds like a UTI based on my symptoms, but I don't know what else it could be. Really hope whatever it is goes away soon, cause I'm most likely in my fertile window now...
GTKY: Have you ever been nude or semi-nude in public? (Ex: skinny dipping, flashing, etc.) NOPE!

Thanks for starting shadesofgold. As far as your temping question, I personally use the one around the time I usually temp instead of the super early one. dke2010 I hope the doctor next week starts providing some answers for you. penguin129 I usually start when I start OPKs. Usually around cd11-13 Congrats on the CHs summerdonna and rablissful
Cycle: 11/2AL CD: 4 WAYDTGKU: PNVs, bbt, green tea, and opks will start around cd12-ish RRCS: totally NGKUR: DH has convinced me to give GoT a second try and I've been watching season 1 all day lol I'm hooked now! GTKY: as a child, yes. As an adult, nope!
