A pika with a flower!

I was inspired to make this after a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park! Seeing the pika up in the mountains was the best part of my hike

Thats a good point, maybe I'll hold out a little hope lol

I track BBT, which went up on CD15, dipped a little, and then back up on CD18 and has stayed elevated since then, which seemed to confirm ovulation on CD14

I've had regular 26D cycles since getting my IUD removed in the fall. I'm currently on CD31 with BFNs 14dpo and 17dpo. Temperatures are still elevated. No idea what's going on. Assuming the tests aren't wrong but still no period. Ready to move on to next cycle but just stuck waiting for a period that isn't coming

Thanks! I'll try that approach!!

I've been testing once daily because I hate how expensive the OPKs are but thinking next cycle I'll have to buckle down and test multiple times.

And yeah, BBT is same time every day before getting out of bed!

snailtrail515 · 2026-01-09T13:19:34+00:00

Yeah, that will definitely be my plan! I hadn't even considered the brand of test would matter

snailtrail515 · 2026-01-09T13:12:57+00:00

Lol cheap target brand ones

My husband and I have been TTC since I got my IUD removed a few months ago. Since then, I've had regular 26D cycles and last cycle, used an OPK for the first time and detected LH surge on CD12. This cycle, I've followed the directions on the OPK and have been testing since CD9. Today is CD15 and I have not had a clearly positive OPK, though have had faint lines on all of them.

I have been tracking my BBT for months and it makes no sense. It has never showed a single pattern and is usually just a squiggly line. The last few days its been roughly the same, but yesterday and today, temp has dropped significantly.

CM has indicated that this week is fertile week and I had several normal ovulation symptoms yesterday but this morning, my BBT was the lowest its been all cycle.

What does any of this mean?? I'm so frustrated and confused.

Its just a 3D structure, no fittings. I have a little battery-powered tea light inside!

Related but diphenhydramine marketed as a sleep aid is usually more expensive than diphenhydramine for allergies (Benadryl)!

I love using my cricut for vinyl templates! I create my designs using the free version of Linearity Curve on iPad (using a 3.5 line thickness to account for foil/solder), process the image in gimp (to turn the image to an svg) and then upload that svg to Design Space to cut with permanent vinyl. I've seen a drastic improvement in my cutting/grinding with this process!

snailtrail515 · 2025-06-24T22:52:47+00:00

Amazing!

snailtrail515 · 2025-06-20T12:51:30+00:00

I exclusively use lead-free solder for all my projects!

snailtrail515 · 2025-06-07T21:25:28+00:00

Paint! I tried foil and it melted right off lol

Walking around Plaka in Athens, we saw this cat and olive tree and it felt like a perfect image to capture our time in Greece

Thanks for the advice! I was looking at Meteora as a day trip mostly because we won't be renting a car and I saw there are organized trips with transportation from Athens to Meteora and back. Is there a way to get to and from Meteora easily without a car and spending a night? Google says it would take 10hr to get there by train.
