wilmaroo, I have heard of people getting on the scale backwards at doctor. I usually just look up and don't look at the number (my ob has a digital scale so that's easy to do). The worst part about getting weighed at the doc is that you have all your clothes and shoes on so that obviously is an extra 20 lbs, right?
I always take off my shoes, even when they tell me I don't need to. I'm on the border between two BMI categories, and there's no way I'm going to let my boots and coat be what flags my weight as a problem.
Do you guys tag everyone on your phone? If so that is super impressive. I don't have a real computer so I just usually quote and LT everyone.
I'm almost always on my phone too and tagging is hard!

What are you doing to GKU? Trigger shot tomorrow and IUI Monday!
RRCS: I had two good sized follicles this morning and one that's close so we're triggering tomorrow! I do have to take some estrace bc my lining is a little thin, but I was on 100mg of Clomid so I kind of expected that.
GTKY: it was pretty good. Work is insanely busy thank goodness. Plus, I'm finally feeling like we're on the right track with the right doctor for TTC.
Me: 31 Wife: 30. Legally married 2008, thanks CA! TTC #1 since 11/14 using donor sperm. IUIs Jan-Aug 2015 BFN Sept & OCT 2015 added Femara. BFN Saw RE December 2015. IUI with Clomid & Trigger Jan 2016 BFN IUI #13 with Follistim April 2016 BFFN IVF #1 July 2016. 14R, 10F, 6 Day 5 embryos. 4 PGS normal embabies!
notagoddess I definitely think it is possible to O without a positive opk. Those things are tricky little beasts.
I did get a positive this morning, but it was after the temp spike.
Although I turn OPKs positive every cycle, I'm beginning to think that doesn't really transfer to useful information regarding timing. Last month, I had 2 surges so 4 days of positives. I wish it were more consistent from cycle to cycle.

Missed that. I've had the same 28th separate surges.
I know you aren't supposed to put CD1 until you have "full red flow," needing pad or tampon. This cycle, AF showed up Wednesday night with some spotting and light, kinda brownish flow. I put a pad on before bed and could see some stuff on the pad before I went to sleep. Was Wednesday CD1? Or yesterday? I recorded it as yesterday but now I'm not sure because I definitely needed to have a pad for bed on Wednesday night.
JustJudy, quick Q....does the trigger just take the guess work out of predicting O? (I'm assuming you O on your own). Just curious.
Yes. We're using frozen donor sperm which only stays alive for 6-12 hours after thaw. I really feel like we haven't been timing things right this whole time.

Wow! That's a small window of time! Good luck this month!!!
ladytiffany24 I'm sorry about your work layoffs, this seems like a very tough and emotional week for you in HR
wilmaroo I do tag on mobile, i don't know any better and always used tapatalk. It is hard sometimes. Also Yay for a positive opk today.
notagoddess I think its possible since for me sometimes opk's don't add up. They are definitely confusing at times but i keep using them. Also , sounds like an eventful and exciting week for you. Good luck to DH on his interview.
ellabee that's awsome about sticking to your healthy eating.
jwinct jwinct I hope you feel better for tomorrow! That would suck if you were still feeling crappy
It seems a few of us are on WW (well I need to get back on it) so that's awsome. I think I'm going to tackle the new plan and attend meetings. I can't do it alone, I've realized this week. I don't hold myself accountable enough.
mikaela20 Hooray for a temp spike! Hope you see CH's soon and have a relaxing weekend. dashook you survived the first year! Congrats! sleepymonkey hugs! I say go to your appt and see what OB has to say. wilmaroo yay for a positive OPK! notagoddess that does seem so confusing! I would just keep doing everything you're doing and hopefully O becomes clear soon!

What are you doing to GKU? temping, OPKs, HIO, preseed
RRCS: Another positive opk this morning so I should O tonight or tomorrow. I feel so bloated and crampy.
GTKY: How was your first week of the year? Highs or lows? Well we decided to start getting our house ready to put on the market and house hunt a little bit. I don't do big changes well so cue all the stress!

If it is brown-ish I don't count it as CD 1 even if there is enough for a pad but if it is bright red I count it as CD 1 even if it is a small amount. It sounds to me like if it were me, I wouldn't count Wednesday as CD 1.

I was wondering about the tagging thing too since I am 99% of the time on mobile. mikaela20 What is tapa talk? An app?
cookswithwine9 wine. Yep-its an app I downloaded. Then you open it and find TCF and follow the boards you want to keep on your feed. I find t's easier to manouve the site through the app rather than using it on your Web browser on your phone.

So I went and stalked that thread and now I have a question...
I'm trying to drink more water. I immediately start drinking it once I arrive at work by 7:30am. I had been using SMU for my OPKs. I also typically drink a cup of coffee in the mornings prior to SMU. Should I avoid liquids all together before SMU for the sake of more concentrated urine?
I have to not drink or pee for around 4 hours to turn an OPK positive. Others may have a different experience....
ETA: And I should add that I find this very hard to do, so that's why I usually end up using FMU. It's my most concentrated of the day. And I use digitals, which instruct you to use FMU.
