I think my ute and oneslybookworm s has switched I normally o cd 20-25 based on temps it looks like I o'ed cd 15. Like awick14 I checked out the edd it's not only my sisters bday but also the day we conceived our m/c. It's got to be our cycle right?
Today is is going to be crazy at school I'm taking pictures of clubs and activities tgif!
This was my first cycle successfully temping and sure enough, BBT rose exactly 1/2 degree on CD18 so that was nice to see. I've been thinking I was ovulating on CD18 each cycle but now I'm thinking it's likely CD16 or 17 which would explain why I'm not pregnant yet. But temping is so hard with as much travel as I do, hoping I can keep it up for a few mores cycles to really get a good feel for it. Or that I got pregnant this cycle because our timing was pretty good. Goodness this process is annoying. Except the sex. I'm still enjoying all the sex we are having!
Today is 11DPO and I planned to start testing this morning. I just can't do it though. I don't want to see another BFN. I realize 7 cycles is nothing compared to how long some of the ladies here have been trying but I'm already feeling defeated. My temps the past 2 days have been on the decline. AF is due Monday so I'm just going to wait it out.
Our house is finally getting back to normal. DD still has a cough but at least she can go back to school. She is supposed to spend the night with the ILs tonight but we'll see if that still happens. DH and I could use some quality time together.
ETA: a little confession: I finally started using Instagram (yup behind the times here). I also signed up to follow some of my favorite boutiques where I buy DD's dresses so I could enter their contests.

I crochet as a hobby/side job and I am SO annoyed I can't find more than 1 slouchy beanie pattern I like that ican figure out! I need to just play around with some of them, but when I make scarves I get fairly instant gratification, so I'm impatient about making things and having them be cute right away
I'm going away this weekend to a casino resort in Maryland as an early 30th birthday celebration however there is a winter weather advisory for the area, so I am hoping we can get there with no problems. I need a weekend away, my students have been extra attitudy lately and it's driving me crazy!
@daisyheadmazie, please don't feel bad about being frustrated. It took us 7 cycles for DS, and I recall being like, why meeeee? because it seemed like everybody got pregnant right away.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

Do you use OPKs, if you're not temping? I have a hard time just getting in the habit of temping, so I just use OPKs instead.

I'm finally meeting my BFF for lunch today! He works downtown and walks to work, so I usually have to drive to him, which ends up being a 2 hour lunch. Can't do that often! He has an RDO today, so we're meeting halfway at a trendy spot that neither of us have been to before. Can't wait!

Yes, I use OPK's but because I'm out on Sales Calls/Traveling all the time I can't exactly test my pee in the middle of the day all the time. I was getting close-to-positive OPK's but having a hard time confirming if/when I was actually ovulating so after 4 I decided to start temping. Going to give that two cycles and see if I have any luck. I'm almost 36 so my Dr. wants to start testing for issues after 6 months, but I definitely want to give her some good data to work with if that ends up being the case.

Gotcha! That would definitely make it hard. Fx for you, and that's great that your doctor wants to be proactive.

I feel like today was productive on the TTC front, I called my insurance company and found out it covers IUI's, which is great because we are probably headed there soon. I also made an appointment for acupuncture next Friday. I spoke to the acupuncturist herself and I got a really good feeling from her. She answered all of my questions and explained things really clearly.
