Cycle/Month: 6/7 CD: 14 What are you doing to GKU? Bbt, pnv, OPK
RRCS: I wanted to have sex last night and DH was too tired. So that's annoying. Guess we will get to it tonight. I am pretty sure I will O soon, maybe tomorrow or Friday.
GTKY: Stealing from TWW, what gift are you most excited about giving this year? I am excited to give DD her gifts and see her reaction on Christmas morning. She turned 2 in Sept. so I think she will get into it more this year than last.
notagoddess , that dip for today's temp could be a fallback rise. That seems to fit with what I've read about them on FF.
Also, we have an Echo. It's amazing. The shopping list function is probably my favorite right now.
That's good to hear about the Echo!
I haven't had a fallback rise pattern for any of my other cycles (I charted on paper before getting FF). I know bodies are weird and all that, but could my overall pattern really change now?
From what I've read, yes. I think the fallback rise is random. Some people may see it every cycle, some occasional cycles, and others never. I wouldn't read too much into. FF takes that into account when detecting O, so if you did O and it truly is a fallback rise, it'll still pick it up.

RajahMD, pelvic scraping is basically exactly what it sounds like. It's a really intense, deep massage from hip to hip, and navel to pubic bone. It's supposed to increase blood flow to the uterus? I am sore today, but mostly from having super tight hip flexors that also got assaulted.
notagoddess, I have a friend who is a massage therapist who knew we were trying. I joked "can't you just massage me pregnant?" and she said, "well, actually..." so I gave it a shot! It looks like googling fertility massage gives some local options, but if you have a favorite massage place, it couldn't hurt to ask if they do it.
RajahMD, I probably should temp regardless of what time it is or how much sleep I've gotten. Its such an instinct to just jump out of bed to get DD when I hear her cry! And then I can't go back to sleep
Love tit for commiseration. DD doesn't wake up during the night often but the past month she has off and on. Last night she woke at 3 so I temped then and also at 7:20 when I woke for the day (we were awake for 2 hours or so in between) and the temps were way different. I always try to temp when she wakes. If she has to wait 1 minute she will be ok.
RRCS: I have somewhat of a temp shift, but I'm doubtful that I ovulated. I woke up early today because I was cold, and my temp was only 97.5. After warming up and some more restless sleep, it was 97.7. Usually by 2 DPO it's higher. I haven't kept track of CM the last few days because we're having a lot of sex. Also, the two LH surges are confusing the hell out of me.
If you're someone where temp time (not just amount of sleep) matters, an hour can make a big difference. Probably even more so since you woke up early because you were cold. I would try not to worry too much about today's temp and see what tomorrow's does.
ETA: Fall-back rise like RajahMD suggested could also definitely be possible.

Thanks. I am eager to ovulate because I need a few days off from sex in order to be able to enjoy it again. The last 2-3 times have been very mechanical and not at all fun. I'm really a 1-2x/week person so having to do it multiple days in a row to optimize timing, and then having ovulation not happen, is pretty frustrating.

It started to get like that for us at the end of last cycle's FW and it's definitely not so fun to feel forced. Today's lower temp is still higher than most of your pre-CD20 temps and even with the lower temp today yesterday's was still a pretty big jump. FX your temp is back up tomorrow so you can take a break!

What are you doing to GKU? PNV, OPK, Temping, CM, Sex
RRCS: So, my OPK was REALLY close to positive this morning. Like, if you glance at it, it looks positive, but when you look closely, its still a little lighter. I'm assuming I still call that negative. At any rate, I'm assuming I'll O sometime tonight or tomorrow. I'm just kind of mad at myself because I got annoyed with DH last night and therefore we didn't do the deed. We've hit the past previous days and I'll be sure to get some humping in tonight and the next couple of days. Ugh.
GTKY: Stealing from TWW, what gift are you most excited about giving this year? We got my mom a grandma shirt that has all of her grandbabies names on it. Her favorite thing in the world is being a grandma so I'm pretty sure she's going to love it!
lovetruly2015, I feel ya on the changing diets thing. H and I have spent the last two months working at eating less carbs and making better choices for what carbs we do eat. We agreed to focus on one thing at a time, so now that we've kind got that under our belts, we're going to start focusing on reducing portions overall. It's tough, but you're strong, you can do it!
notagoddess, it could be a fallback rise, but it could also be that you woke up feeling cold - maybe the room was colder? I've woken up freezing cold before and it definitely impacted my temp. I'd say keep HIO just in case, but it's possible you did O already.
Cycle/Month: 15 CD: 7 GKU: AF is finally out of town, so all the things.
R/R/CS: I can tell this cycle is going to be a pain in the ass. Yesterday I had tons of EWCM, and when I checked my CP in the evening it was high and felt open, though I'm not great at catching that usually. I'm really hoping O holds off until next week when I'm on vacation, because this week just sucks in terms of stress level and stuff.
GTKY: This is a tough one. We're actually not giving gifts at all this year, for anyone. Originally we were going to be spending Christmas out of town with H's aunt and uncle and cousin, who we typically don't exchange gifts with, and then the week after doing a trip to Leavenworth with my family. Since we were going to foot half the bill for the cabin we'd planned to rent, we figured we weren't going to do gifts. Well, since we made that decision we've learned that H's family is actually going to come up here, and we weren't able to get a cabin at Leavenworth so my family is coming up to spend a few days here after my brother gets his leave.
In the meantime, we also learned H is going to need a couple hundred dollars worth of dental work and we gave a lot of the money we'd normally spend on gifts to charitable donations.
So, what I was looking forward to most was seeing all the kids at the Breakfast with Santa that we helped fund and that I helped run.
hurricanerek , looks like we're in the same "short cycle" boat. I'm on CD11 today, with all signs pointing towards O. Feels odd with your TWW is longer than your WTO.
flojo973 , Boo for teething. Hope your DD feels better soon. With so many missing temps, FF may have a hard time detecting O. Have you considered temping regardless of how much sleep you've gotten? You may still be able to detect O that way, even if your chart is a little rockier than normal.

What are you doing to GKU? TI w/ metformin & femara, OPK's BBT, preseed
RRCS: So this morning my OPK was almost positive, so it will probably turn tonight or tomorrow. I woke up this morning sick with a cold ugh. H & I will still have sex that won't stop us.
GTKY: Stealing from TWW, what gift are you most excited about giving this year? Nothing I can think H got his xmas gifts over a month ago xbox one he loves it. He knew I ordered it for him so I wasn't going to hold just until Xmas.

What do you take when you are sick to feel better? I feel really dumb honestly.... will it matter what I take being close to O? TTCAL has added another level of crazy that I hate.

What symptoms are you having? I wouldn't use decongestants or much more than Tylenol really

Just nasal congestion.
The biggest thing I hate about cold medicines close to O is that some of them dry out my CM. With that in mind, you should be fine with something like Mucinex (thins mucus, but doesn't dry it up) or any of the nasal sprays (because they stay in your nose and not in your blood stream).
peaseblossom55, I am probably 3-5 days before O right now and have been taking Mucinex twice daily for almost a week for a severe cold. I am not noticing any chart changes, and had EWCM today. I think you will be fine taking whatever you need to clear it up.

Saline? It's just salt water and really helps to clear the nose.
Lots of ladies on the verge of O today--exciting! FX for you all!
Cycle/Month: 2nd PP cycle
CD: 7
What are you doing to GKU? BBT and we'll start EOD maybe tomorrow
RRCS: I had to shut my door at work today and have a complete meltdown. I'm concerned that stress is going to negatively affect my chances of getting my cycle back on track.
GTKY: Stealing from TWW, what gift are you most excited about giving this year? We aren't into giving each other "big" things; I more enjoy giving the stuff that I know the recipient will really like. I already gave H my two best presents this year--one was an ornament I made with baby boy's hospital hat and our hospital ID bracelets inside, and the other was tix to see Star Wars this weekend--he cried at the first and is beyond pumped at the second!
What are you doing to GKU? BBT, cm, pnv. I'm going to try opks and possibly cp, since it doesn't look like I've o'd yet
RRCS: it appears that I will be having an even longer than usual cycle. At least that means I probably won't have my period for christmas.
GTKY: Stealing from TWW, what gift are you most excited about giving this year? I'm really excited to give DH his big gift. I don't think he even know that they made a doctor who lego kit I also managed to find a duplicate of the tea pot my mom and dad had on the stove for years, but got broken a couple years ago. I hope my parents like it
Hey ladies! I'm just squeaking this in on time again. Work has been ridiculooous. Looks like O is near for many of you! Yay!

What are you doing to GKU? metformin, femara, opks, bbt, cm, pnvs, monitoring ultrasound on monday
RRCS: Just trying to keep cool and pretend that I'm keeping my shit together. December 26th was my EDD from our loss...and ugh.
GTKY: Stealing from TWW, what gift are you most excited about giving this year? Got tickets for a live radio show broadcast for my mom. She's ALWAYS wanted to go. If you listen to NPR or are from the Midwest, you probably can guess what I'm talking about.
