icaughtfire & emilie - Yes, cough syrup is just for the hacking and coughing I've got going on over here. Not trying to take cough syrup to help in TTC.

I am on anti-depressants and we've upped the dosage, but I've never been able to be off BCP for more than a month or two without becoming dysfunctional. So who knows. If it doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out and we'll move on to Plan B.

About the disrupted sleep - I normally will sleep for an hour or two at most, then wake up for a little bit, go back to sleep, etc. So I don't usually get a chunk of 3 hours at a time. Should I not mark those nights as sleep deprived? I've been marking the nights when I get less than 3 hours before I wake up.

In your case, I'd recommend only marking sleep deprived if your sleep is significantly worse than usual. I tend to consider "deprived" as sort of a sliding scale - for some people, the amount of tossing and turning I do on an average night would be sleep deprived.

Welcome!

I sometimes log my temp after only an hour of sleep, and FF can usually identify my O day. I would just suggest making the time consistent every day, even if it isn't. I mark "N/A" on the time every day. GL to you.

Welcome and GL!

Welcome and good luck. Try to keep your expectations in line. Needing to be KU in the first 3 cycles is a lofty goal. There are some of us (like me) who have been trying a long time and have to just take it a cycle (or day) at a time. I wish you the best of luck and hope you find this place supportive and educational.

Thanks for the advice! I look forward to hanging out here with you all.

This makes sense to me.  I'm having a "duh" moment.  


What exactly does FF do when someone checks "Sleep Deprived"?  I'm going through the tutorials and lessons, but I don't think that that has been mentioned yet.  Or maybe I need to work on my reading comprehension skills, if it has been explained.

I believe it thinks of it the same way as it does if you temp at a significantly different time. It flags it as an open circle, meaning it's not as trusted as the closed circles. Too many open circles makes it harder for FF to make up its mind on things.
