GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed?

[thechickencoop]

Cycle/Month: 17/14

CD/DPO: 23/11

Timing: -2, O

Testing Plans: Tomorrow. This morning I was thinking about it but there's no better way for me to get my period than to POAS so I'd prefer today not be CD1.

RRCS: I didn't temp the last 2 days because I had hardly slept but today...it seems to have shot up. So we'll see, fingers crossed tomorrow. My problem is I don't normally have a big drop UNTIL CD1 so I can't get too excited here.

GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed? H and I are both starfishers, sometimes belly-captain morganers (KWIM? Like, one leg straight, one bent?). We're not cuddly sleepers AT.ALL. which is why we use every inch of our king size bed. I usually sleep in just a tshirt or sometimes a pair of really soft thin old shorts. I CANNOT wear pants to sleep, OMG it's like my legs are being strangled.

Good morning thechickencoop! FX for testing tomorrow!

Cycle/Month: 6/8 AL

CD/DPO: 34/5

Timing: -4, -2, O

Testing Plans: Only if no AF at 13 DPO

RRCS: Nothing TTC related. It's just Monday and I'm so tired.

GTKY: I prefer to sleep on my back, but usually end up sleeping on my right side, halfway on the bed because my dogs are bed hogs. I wear sweatpants and a tshirt usually. Sometimes shorts and a tshirt in the summer months.

[wannabmama]

Cycle/Month: 14

CD/DPO: 28/10

Timing: -2, IUI on O, +1

Testing Plans: Wednesday beta if I'm still in

RRCS: I'm in a hotel so I didn't sleep great from about 3am on, so temp is probably no good.

GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed? Usually on my side and/or curled up into a little ball. I sleep in yoga pants and a tank with built in shelf bra usually...I gotta feel contained. Can't stand the girls flopping all over the place ha.

[teachermomtobe]

thechickencoop gl tomorrow!

Cycle/Month: 4/7

CD/DPO: 26/7

Timing: O, -2, -4, -5

Testing Plans: 11/22

RRCS: nothing today

GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed? On my stomach and usually without my head on the pillow. I plank all night. In the winter I wear yoga pants and a big long sleeve t-shirt. In warmer months I wear shorts and t-shirt to bed. And socks, always socks.

My dogs rule my bed, too...I usually wake up on a little sliver of the bed with only half a cover on meanwhile they're slumbering away like kings. I kick them off the bed sometimes but they are ninjas and come back up without waking me...until I'm shivering and teetering on the edge of the bed!

Yep. I end up lying partially on my bedside table most of the time. If I kick them out of bed, they just pace around the room (which is more annoying) and then just get back up when they think I'm sleeping. The worst part is that they like to lay right up against me and I wake up sweating. Especially on the mornings where MH is off work, like today. Too much body heat for our queen bed.

@chickencoop fx for tomorrow!

Cycle/Month:5/8

CD/DPO:44/4

Timing: -1,+1

Testing Plans: 9 more days.

RRCS: I woke up to my temping alarm to find my DH cuddling me. He gets hot at night so this is not normal for him. It was so cute

GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed? On my stomach always. I can't sleep any other way. Thin Pj pants with one of my DH Tshirts.

[dke2010]

Cycle/Month: 20/18

CD/DPO: 17/3

Timing: -2, O, +1

Testing Plans: Thanksgiving

RRCS: Got my CHs and now we wait.

GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed? I always sleep on my stomach. In the winter I wear leggings and a long sleeve shirt. T-shirt and cotton shorts in the summer.

[bl1210]

Cycle/Month: 10/15 (I have been saying 14 all month but I realized this weekend its actually 15 )

CD/DPO: 25/5

Timing: -4, -1

Testing Plans: hopefully I can hold out until 14 dpo

RRCS: Allll aboard the crazy train!!! Guise...talk me down.

GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed? I usually sleep on my side or my stomach. My favorite thing to sleep in are these awesome Victoria Secret sleep shirts that are just basically long t-shirts.

[penguin129]

FX for you tomorrow thechickencoop!

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/CPO: 20/ 3 (not really sure though)

Timing: not sure anymore

Testing plans: trying to figure this out

RRCS: My mind is racing. I didn't temp this month so I have no way to really know for sure I O'd or when. If I'm being honest with myself I don't think I really saw a true positive OPK either (just a very close one). My dose of my thyroid meds was changed, I'm on amoxicillin, and was on decongestants. I don't know if any of these messed with my cycle at all. I don't remember being this anxious the first time around. I didn't know anything but OPK's and CM then. I usually O on CD 15 (I know this changes). Anyway, I may use CD 15 as my starting point and I may not.
TLDR:
<------- doesn't know for sure when O'd and can't decide when to test.

GTKY: I am a belly sleeper and sometimes put on leg bent. I sleep in a tank top and sweat pants most of the time.

ETA: I only use OPK's in the afternoon once a day. It is highly possible I had a blatant positive and just didn't catch it.

[singingsea]

Cycle/Month: 12/2AL

CD/DPO: CD27

Timing: Not sure.

Testing Plans: I always say I'm going to wait till I'm super late but usually end up breaking down and testing between CD31-33.

RRCS: I'm not feeling super optimistic about this cycle.

GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed? I'm a strict side sleeper. I usually sleep in PJ pants/shorts and a t-shirt.

[penguin129]

Hugs singingsea.

[daystardreams]

thechickencoop Good luck testing tomorrow and high five for will power today!

Cycle/Month: 16/21

CD/DPO: 5/19

Timing: -4, O

Testing: 11/23

RRCS: None today


GTKY: We're cuddlers! We sleep pretty much anyway that we can still have arms and legs on each other! He wears boxers and I usually wear a t-shirt and underwear.

[daisy818]

Cycle/Month: 11/11

CD/DPO: 28/12

Timing: Okay

Testing Plans: Today - BFN, as expected.

RRCS: Today I get to do all my fun pre-op testing for my lap surgery - joy! And I guess with the BFN I can say I'm officially benched for the next month for surgery.

GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed? I usually sleep on my side, although I sleep in every position. I just sleep in my underwear.

[kayladawn91]

Sorry for the BFN daisy818

[penguin129]

daisy818 Sorry for the BFN. LT for your sleeping style.

[rungirlrun]

Cycle/Month: 6/6

CD/DPO: 23/10

Timing: -4, -2, O

Testing Plans: Eh nothing planned now

RRCS: Temp went up again today. Doesn't mean too much but made me happy.

GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed? Start out on my left side, but my H says I'm generally on my back. Sleep in shorts and a t-shirt (long or short sleeved depending on the weather).

[singingsea]

Sorry for the BFN daisy818.

[notagoddess]

Sorry for the BFN and having to take time off for surgery, daisy818. 
Hugs for not feeling hopeful, singingsea.
penguin129, maybe it's the long anticipation of TFAS that is making you anxious, combined with the wonky cycle due to illness? I hope you are pleasantly surprised.

Cycle/Month: 8 AL

CD/DPO: 19/5

Timing: Good

Testing Plans: Next weekend

RRCS: I have a ton of things due this week for school. I hope that staying busy will keep my mind off of TTC. I don't want a BFN affecting my performance at all.

GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed? I'm a side sleeper. I have my head on the pillow and I usually hug another pillow. I wear long PJ pants with sleeveless or short sleeve tops.

[caz1221]

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 24/6?

Timing: -3, -2, -1

Testing Plans: None

RRCS: I've had elevated temps for 6 straight days, but FF still hasn't given me CH. I welcome any thoughts based on my chart - for now, I'm assuming I O'd on CD18.

GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed? I switch between back and side sleeping. I wear a tank top and undies regardless of the weather.

I agree with you based on temps and the +OPK. Did you notice any CM around O? Maybe that would get FF to see the light.

[Deleted]

lurker caz1221, I think you O'd on cd17 with 18th being a dip (as previous cycle), but if not yes for cd18. Not sure why no ch's yet; what setting are you using? Best wishes!

My guess would be CD18 as well - maybe it's the OPKs that are holding FF back from giving you CH?  If you switch the method from Advanced it may give you CH; I've also been known to manual override if FF is being wonky.

[mill23]

thechickencoop FX for tomorrow!

Sorry for the BFN daisy818

penguin129, do you know how long your cycles usually are? For example If they are 30 days maybe set a testing date for around then.

Cycle/Month: 7/8

CD/DPO: 16/3 maybe

Timing: -3, -1, +1 if FF has the O date right

Testing Plans: Nov 30

RRCS: I'm not sure I go here. FF gave me crosshairs and I suspect they are wrong, I think I actually O'd yesterday. Either way I'll hang out here and see what my temps do when I'm not drinking this week.

GTKY: I sleep on my side in the fetal position basically. I also am always cold so I sleep in sweat pants, tank top and a hoody, even in the summer. H thinks I am crazy.

[wannabmama]

kayladawn91 OMG the pacing! Yes! Click clack click clack of their nails on the hardwood floor. Arggghhh!

[jense927]

Cycle/Month: 9/11

CD/DPO: 35/14

Timing: doesn't matter

Testing Plans: nope

RRCS: Pretty sure today will be CD1. Negatives yesterday and started some pretty good spotting

GTKY: What position do you sleep in? What do you wear to bed? Usually on my belly and a tee shirt and underwear. I hate wearing pants to bed it feels wrong.

[caz1221]

Thanks, notagoddess, @kellbell, daisy818! I didn't notice any CM around O (I'm not always good about noticing and recording, though), and I'm using the Advanced setting. What's the difference between that and the FAM setting?

I think FAM is based only on temps and ignores the other signs. 

I'm guessing you will eventually get CH's whichever method you go with -- that is an obvious temp rise!

[Deleted]

caz1221, I wouldn't worry about this cycle; if you aren't + read the tutorials and begin recording cm, or not it's no biggie just gives more information for ff to interpret. Advanced setting is the recommended setting; FAM relies on conventional family planning and even with that you should be getting ch's (+3 higher temps than the six proceeding days so...) again not sure. Maybe mess around with the setting and take out the S cm you have and see if you get them.
edit to add; take out the negative opk's after the positives like pp mentioned above see what happens
