Welcome Hopin!
DD80, I still tested with OPKs till yesterday just to make sure lol
Time for some TMI about CM, but I was slighty baffled...I had some thick thick white CM last night and today that I at first thought was Toliet Paper till I realized...oh that's not TP. Wasn't sure how to categorize that stuff...it was weird
That is a really good sign KK! I've heard of this symptom even just a few dpo, and seen many threads where it's gone on to become a
!!!
FX'ed so tight for you right now!
Nice seeing all the new ladies so active in this thread. Glad to have you ladies

DD80, I havent used OPK's at all yet, but am planning on it for SURE this cycle, and I'll probably keep testing after O since I just got a bunch of cheapies and kinda want to see what my lines look like for a whole cycle.
AFM, Today was a weird day. I realized that the dip definitely was indicative of AF, started bright red blood today. It may be go back and look at my cycles very closely. Originally I was thinking that I was having VERY irregular cycles, a mix of super long, and really short. I would see some that were like 15 days, others that were 40 or more. I also assumed that I had really weird mid-cycle bleeding which I always chalked up to O or random breakthrough bleeding. I compared charts on FF, Ovufriend, and the charts on my phone app (a super basic no-name app) and look over everything from the past year. As I was scrolling calendar-style through the cycles on my phone, it hit me. I decided to go through and mark the first or second day of my 'midcycle' spotting periods (sometimes a few days) as a "light flow", and I was amazed. It gave me a much more regular looking pattern. If those "spotting" episodes that happened pretty much every month really were periods than my cycle is sticking at a much more average 15-20 days.
It seems like I noticed spotting or bleeding on the scale EVERY month for the past year, but wasn't counting many periods as flow. It's discouraging to know that I have such a short cycle and that all my thinking has been wrong for so long, but charting honestly helped me look at things more closely and I think this might be some kind of answer. At least it's something to talk to the doc about.
Anyway, CD1 for me again. Definitely using OPK's this cycle so i can see when I O based on more than just temps, no adjusting at ALL..just disregard if need be, going to temp vaginally instead and keep up with the b6.
10 days now till Doctors Appt...we'll see what happens.
) I am making a roast chicken with lemon, garlic, and thyme. I'm almost finished with the lamp. Just waiting for the clear coat to dry and then I'll have to rewire. I need to find my wire strippers. The cord was still good so that saves some money. The socket was good too but I couldn't get it open! Ugh... I wish I could upload pics on here. I think it is going to look soooo cool. I hope my friend likes it.
I love fall/winter the best because its mostly root veggies and pretty easy. Carrots, onions, maybe some sweet potatoes, radishes. Not sure what else...usually do some spinach and kale. I have to look through my seeds...
Aidensmom- I hate AF arrived, BUT I am glad that you took the time to do all that research and get some positive information out of it! Hopefully the Dr will be able to give some great advice on more information on it!!
