R/R/CS: nothing really. My mind is playing tricks on me.
GTKY: Biggest accomplishment this week? I got a new boss who acts like he is Don Draper. I made it through the week without quiting. He is off for 3 weeks now thankfully.
GTKY: What was your biggest accomplish this week? Not quitting my job, definitely. Hopefully biggest accomplishment next week will be applying for new jobs!

R/R/CS: my boobs hurt like a mother fucker since ovulation. I do not approve.
GTKY: What was your biggest accomplishment this week? Thursday I managed to run ALL the errands. Everything I was putting off or just too lazy to do, I finally got it all taken care of.
GTKY: My mil is here and I've done just about no parenting. It's great because dh has a rough work schedule so I'm the main parent. It's nice to kick back and relax.

Cycle/Month: 14/14
CD/DPO: 22/5
Timing: -4,-3,-1,O
Testing plans: none unless AF is late
RRCs: this is our last cycle before we move to IUI. I'm really anxious about it. I just want this to work so bad.
GTKY: I ovulated on vacation last week while sharing a small house with 16 people. DH and I successfully had very quiet awkward sex several times. Go us!!

you should really consider starting opks again. You don't have cross hairs on FF for a reason. It really doesn't look like you've ovulated yet. And no amount of "knowing" that you must have ovulated because you always ovulate on CD 14-15 makes it actually happen.
R/R/CS: my temp jumped a bit this morning so of course now my mind is going crazy. Mr. EMC is heading out of town for work this week which I think will help with my inevitable desire to POAS around 12dpo. I'd like him to be home when (if) I test, which puts me at Friday at the earliest.
GTKY: What was your biggest accomplish this week? Nothing. I had a terribly lazy week. No fucks given.
Testing Plans: Wednesday? I expect my period then.
R/R/CS:
GTKY: What was your biggest accomplish this week? 9 miles in the hotel parking lot training for my upcoming half marathon. And I didn't kill my inlaws this weekend.

oreille impressive timing! Also...impressive training for half, is it your first? When is it?
I'm super proud of my timing. Better than usual because we originally thought O would be CD17, and then it didn't seem likely...so, well, we just kept going! Here's hoping it was worth it.
This is my second half, Sept 12! I'm slow like a turtle, though.

Thank you for your input. Here's the thing. I've never had a cycle go longer than 28 to 29 days, except for one, the month I got my iud out, it was 31. I've tracked my cycle days for years, probably closer to 8 or 9 years. They are consistently 27 to 29 days.
Every month the day before or day of, I get painful cramps. It was so bad in college my gyn put me on bcp for that reason alone. That pain comes every 2 weeks so ovulation and period. It was pretty bad this last time.
After o for me is annoying. My boobs hurt, I get constipated, bloated, etc. My boobs have been sore all week. Today was the worst with shooting pain in the right. It's bad. Taking off my bra to shower is painful until they adjust to the lack of support. Its usually bad enough for me to tell dh he can't touch them. I have all my usual symptoms for after o.
The other issue has been my thermometer. It's the Target brand and kept getting stuck at 97.33. Cd15 and 16 are 97.33. Then I asked the board for recommendations on a new one. I bought the Mavis and even though I know you're not supposed to switch thermometers halfway through, there's no point in waiting if my chart is messy and my thermometer is screwy. So I started using it yesterday.
I really appreciate that you're trying to be helpful and I know there really are girls who know nothing about their body. I know not every month will be crystal clear on a bbt chart, however that is just one aspect of your fertility charting. Sure, it's a big one, but so is listening to your body, knowing what's normal for you, and using a reliable instrument of measure. A bbt chart is a small piece of the bigger puzzle. I also know not every person has a clockwork body but luckily mine is pretty good about timing.

Anyway, thanks again.
Aw, honey. You're too cute!
I don't understand why you have to be condescending about it. Why exactly?

Can't explain why? Aww...that's too bad. I was hoping to learn why. Thanks for trying to teach me I know nothing about my body. That's really swell of you.
Eta. And the fact that you're a mod makes this behavior even better.

So because I'm a mod of a different board (not that that matters) I can't have an opinion?

Oh no, you can. Just being condescending and patronizing is really rude.
Since dd wasn't really planned, this charting and using OPKs is all new to me. I still have a million questions about the whole thing and I feel like I can learn so much from you ladies!
Now you're trying to act like you know everything? Oh, ok.
Um. No. I don't know everything. I do know my body though. Charting bbt and using opks is new to me. I still feel like I can learn from this board but being rude to new people is really sucky. Maybe ask a few questions about my circumstances instead of assuming every person has a history of random cycles.

No one is assuming that "every person has a history of random cycles." People here often point out that your body is regular/normal until it's not. You could have 10 years of 28 day cycles and randomly get a cycle that's 25 days or 40 days. You can "know your body" and still have random cycles here and there.
The ladies here are knowledgeable and helpful, but it's difficult to offer any advice or knowledge when you seem to already "know your body" so well.
