Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: hopefully I can convince DH to hio when he gets home from his work trip tonight, before we go to my parents tomorrow for the long weekend
GTKY: What is the first thing you plan on doing after work today? I'm going to take DS with me to vote in the advance polls for the national election
@sparky85...I have Federal elections here in Canada. I really should go to advance polling this weekend.
TGIF!
Cycle/Month: 5/7
Cycle Day:6
What are you doing to GKU? Temping and still waiting. Hope to start the sex this weekend.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: It's gonna be a long stay here. That makes me sad today.
GTKY: What is the first thing you plan on doing after work today? When I get home, I plan on jumping in my PJ's and sitting on the couch for a few minutes. Then I have to finish cleaning and prepping for my turkey dinner on Sunday.
Cycle/Month: 4/7 Cycle Day: 53 What are you doing to GKU? opks, temping Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: It looks like the threats against my lazy ute may have worked earlier this week. I had + OPKs last night and this morning and I am hoping I see my temp shift this weekend. I have been sleeping like absolute shit lately so I hope that doesnt affect things.
GTKY: What is the first thing you plan on doing after work today? I am hoping to eat pizza. And take off my bra and pants.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Temp went up a little bit today, hopefully the trend continues. It'd be great if I O'd today or tomorrow.
GTKY: Friday's are not work days for me, but as soon as H gets home from work I plan to eat dinner. I'm making French Dip Sandwiches in the crockpot and I'm pumped to see how they turn out.
What are you doing to GKU? all the things: BBT, OPK, PNV, ED/EOD, green tea, CM, CP
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I am having really intense, really painful ovulation pain (I assume?). I just know my left ovary is very unhappy, and I almost couldn't bear to have sex last night. Please tell me this is normal?
GTKY: What is the first thing you plan on doing after work today? Change into something comfy and eat pizza. We may go to an art opening later this evening, but I need at least an hour of laziness.
ironbaby oh no...that doesn't sound normal, at least comparing with my ovulation pains. But I usually can't do sex on O day because of ovary cramps and feeling nauseous. I hope the pain doesn't get worse for you
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: pretty sure I O'd yesterday. Had a nice temp rise this morning and positive OPK's yesterday. Super exciting because MH leaves today.
GTKY: What is the first thing you plan on doing after work today? I have to take MH to the airport. So nothing too exciting.
Thanks mikaela20 and britta. I am definitely at that point where I am weighing a doctor's visit, but with it being the weekend, and I know my doctor is out of town, I will wait it out and hope it's nothing serious. If it gets worse than yesterday, I will make it urgent. I am really hoping it calms down once I O.
Hugs mikaela20. I always feel depressed when I'm still in the single digits of WTO too. Seems like so long to wait. Yay for + OPKs acorn99!! Fx for O soon britta! ironbaby - I had a really crampy and painful O last month too. Mine only lasted the a few hours, but it was worse than I ever remember having. I'm going to tell my OB about it because I have my annual today, but I hope she'll just say it's normal and can vary from month to month. Hope you feel better soon! Boo for a sucky AF requiressnacks. Enjoy your dinner!
Cycle/Month: 4
Cycle Day: 11
What are you doing to GKU? bbt, pnv, opk,
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Annual OB visit today. Was hoping I'd be seeing her for a different reason... but oh well. I'm kinda happy my visit fell during WTO instead of TWW. DNW to be poked around down there during TWW.
GTKY: What is the first thing you plan on doing after work today? I work from home on Fridays, so I pick DD up early from daycare. We'll probably pop over to the inlaws house for dinner.
What are you doing to GKU? Temping, CM, started OPKs early. CP/sex to start in a few days.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Just bored waiting to get closer to O. Started OPKs early since last cycle was the shortest cycle I've ever had and I don't know when I actually O'd (either my CHs are wrong, or I only had a 7 day LP).
Also, I just realized getting pregnant in the next 2 months would mean being on maternity leave during the Summer Olympics next year. That would be the coolest thing ever since I love watching as much Olympics as I can. C'mon body, make this happen please!!
GTKY: What is the first thing you plan on doing after work today? Putting sweatpants on and eating pizza for dinner!! Friday is pizza night in our house and I look forward to it all week.
Can I get a chart stalk, please? OPK was lighter today, and CM dried up. I didn't expect O til CD18, but now I am getting all conflicting info. I know I won't KNOW until I get 3 days of temps, but I am wondering if maybe O was yesterday. Can you get a +OPK the same day as O?
ironbaby - I'm sorry it's so painful, hope it's nothing. I have O pain every month - some months it's a slight pull or pinching feeling, others it hurts to stand up straight. I've definitely had months were it was pretty uncomfortable to have sex. If it doesn't go away, do you have any sort of urgent care you could go to over the weekend?
bighair12 - FX your temps stay up! Certainly sounds/looks promising on your chart!
requiressnacks - Ugh, sorry about the heavy period. Hope you enjoy your dinner tonight!
ellabee - I wouldn't want to have to go through an annual during the TWW either. That's nice you work from home on Fridays. I'm hoping to convince my job to let me do the same if/when I have a baby.

I would say it's possible O could have been yesterday, especially if your temp is even higher tomorrow. Last cycle you had a small increase day after O and then an even bigger increase the following day. Could be the same type of pattern this month.
I have gotten a +OPK on the same day as O. I can't hold it enough during the day to test during the day so I always use FMU for OPKs. This has caused me to catch the leftover surge from the day before. I have actually had +OPKs on both the day of and day after O before because of using FMU.
requiressnacks, is an hour a normal commute home for you? I hope it goes quickly!
Cycle/Month: 6/6
Cycle Day: 12
What are you doing to GKU? ALL. THE. THINGS.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I feel like my chart is pretty sporadic this month. Had a weird temp dip today that I'm hoping is not O. That would be crazy early for me, and mean no timing. Ugh.
GTKY: What is the first thing you plan on doing after work today? No idea! Maybe a hot Costco date. We also need to find a pumpkin patch this weekend, so maybe we can squeeze that in before dark!

I woke up an hour late on the open circle day. According to FF's temperature corrector, my temp would have been .2 degrees lower at normal temp time, for what that's worth. In other words, I think it's at least a falsely slightly elevated temp.
I haven't gotten a true positive OPK yet, but I got my darkest yesterday afternoon, then they grew lighter today. I have been counting that as a positive. I may try your FMU thing next month!
acorn99, good job for your ute getting in gear. Hope you confirm O soon. britta, that sounds delicious. ironbaby, that is not normal. I remember other posters mentioning intense ovulation pain on here, but I don't remember who or what the outcome was. I hope you feel better soon. bighair12, good job on O'ing before YH leaves! LadyNymeria, I hope your cycle regulates itself this month.
Cycle/Month: 7 AL / 9 total
Cycle Day: 13
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, CM, OPKs, sex
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: It's my second day ever using OPKs and I got a positive! Woohoo! I'm way too excited. But my CM is still sticky after my one dose of extra-strength Sudafed 2 days ago. I wonder if I even have a shot without fertile CM?
GTKY: What is the first thing you plan on doing after work today? I stay at home most of the time, but I have an informational interview for a school assignment at 4pm. After that I immediately plan to type up my notes, because the guy did not consent to being recorded and I need a transcript. Fun times.

It does look like you might have O'ed. The previous month you had a slow rise the day after O, so if you temp continues to go up, it would follow that temp pattern. You had good timing, so that would just mean a shorter wait!
I would say it's possible O could have been yesterday, especially if your temp is even higher tomorrow. Last cycle you had a small increase day after O and then an even bigger increase the following day. Could be the same type of pattern this month.

I would be counting that as a positive OPK too because it's so hard for me to get a true +. Especially since you have now seen them getting lighter. The first month I tried OPKs I tried twice a day and my FMU line would be darker than my afternoon line (if the afternoon test line even showed up). Worth a shot, especially if you're using cheapies.
With CD 15 being a late temp I can definitely see yesterday being O day for you. Hope we're right - great timing for you if we are!
Thanks ladies! I will wait to see what the temps do, but O yesterday would certainly make my secondary signs make more sense. I appreciate all your insight!

Cycle/Month: 5
Cycle Day: 1
What are you doing to GKU? Nothing at the moment.
RRCS: This cycle was supposed to start our 2 month break but after a heart-to-heart discussion yesterday when it was obvious last cycle was a bust, MH and I agreed that we can't afford to lose any time. No break for us.
GTKY: I have every other Friday off so today I am home with DD. She has been rather challenging this morning so pair that with CD1 and I plan on drinking all the wine tonight.

TGIF!
Cycle/Month: 3/3
Cycle Day: 7
What are you doing to GKU? OPKs, EOD once AF leaves
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I don't think I ovulated last month. FX I do this month.
GTKY: What is the first thing you plan on doing after work today? I'm sick, but typically I'd say I'm looking forward to a stiff drink once the day is done. Instead, I'm looking forward to watching TV and going to bed early once DS is in bed tonight. I'm so exciting.
