Temp went back up today but not as much as I’d like. This has been your daily chart update.
Also did some reading and higher stress = more release of cortisol rather than progesterone, which I found interesting. Could be the culprit for my initial low temps but why must they persist?
The duck is going on here?
I can see three possibilities
Estrogen surge? I’m not positive about that but it’s a common response on Reddit ttc world. Another common response is that temperatures in the luteal phase don’t mean a whole lot; the main point of temping is to confirm ovulation.
Marginally darker line today pretty much on schedule… This better not be like last time (September) 
ETA I still expect an actual positive, like, tomorrow. But the rise is usually slow enough I see an upward tick first. N=3.
Bah, I think I might be out for the month. Cramps and maybe spotting on CD 10. I had convinced myself this morning that with my chart features I had a 75% chance this month but I’m preparing for being sad now.
At least I can have a boozy thanksgiving.
Sorry Greyweld : (
I am officially joining this thread to try for baby #2. I figured out how to log back into Fertility Friend, found my thermometer. Got my IUD (Mirena) out on Monday. We’ll see how this goes… last time it took 14 months and I tracked quite closely for a while.
My PCOS butt never gets tired of seeing these.
Also I did the math and with 35 day (5 wk) cycles, I only get like 10 cycles a year.
Woot woot!
I wouldn’t be so upset if not for weird symptom spotting like WHY DO MY NIPPLES FEEL LIKE SOMEONE HAD THEM IN A VICE GRIP FOR AN HOUR HOLY FRICK.
We don’t need those details about your sex life 
But srsly, probably PMS, my friend.
I hates it
Mine do that every once in a while during PMS for no discernible reason aka nothing that happened differently. Bodies. A mystery!
Arrrrgh I’m so upset. My clinic has moved my appointment Friday from 8:30 to 11:15. I really don’t want to have to leave work in the middle of the day when I am supposed to be there (it’s not my holiday off). I’m really angry at being jerked around. I feel like there is an implied threat that I have to come in whenever they want or they can just cancel my transfer.
Aaaaand now I feel guilty about emoting at the office lady because it’s not really that big a deal. I have worked for the same laid-back dude for 7 years. He doesn’t care and I would have known that if I hadn’t let myself get upset.
They did offer me a 7 am but since I had talked to my boss and he didn’t mind, I said I would keep the 11:15. It is only slightly longer to go to work and the clinic and back. I was very apologetic to the clinic manager when she called and she was super nice about the whole thing.
Hehe, oops, apparently all the pregnancy tests I’ve been using are expired.
If period doesn’t show up tomorrow I’ll have to go get an unexpired one to test with. Because I wanna be pregnant or drink without restrictions, God dammit.
No need, definite period spotting occuring. Yay. Wine.
Thankful for this group of thoughtful, knowledgeable, supportive people!
Is anyone making GOF playlists? I’ve been listening to Drew Barrymore by Bryce Vine on repeat, and if you could get pregnant without access to sperm, I would be pregnant already.
Every time I try it comes out very silly so I rely on Rhye and D’Angelo!
Gonna talk about weight and conception. Please don’t read if you’re gonna fight with me or if talk about weight loss or it’s relation to all potential fertility problems will trigger you.
I was pretty firmly on team anti-weight-loss for a while. But I’ve been losing some weight leading up to TTC after reading several scientific journals showing a link between obesity and low rates of ovulation, fertilization, and implantation and high rates of miscarriage, even in women without health factors like PCOS that would be the cause of each of these things.
So I’ve lost about 25 pounds, and gained about five this month with the whole Thanksgiving and Greyman’s bday and seasonal depression things.
I guess I’m not totally sure what I’m looking for with this. I guess support/suggestions/assurance? The article here cited a 38% miscarriage rate in obese women which freaked me right the fuck out.
This is the forum I go to for everything but given the fatphobia stuff of last year or several months ago or whatever, I don’t feel comfortable putting it in my journal.
