Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: This is always the point in my cycle where I start considering FF VIP. I turned off in-app purchases a few weeks ago which is the only thing that kept me from upgrading last night! I know I can allow them again but I took it as a sign that I needed to wait.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) Our couches! They are old and don't match but that's what slip covers are for, amirite? Plus they are at the perfect level of comfortable and they've moved with us to a lot of places so there is a sentimental attachment.
Testing Plans: Tested today because of my temp rise - BFN
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Other than the fact that I caved and tested this morning on a Wondfo, seems like spotting has returned. Now, I'm just waiting for AF to arrive so I can move onto CD1.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) Eh, nothing really. I can't really count my engagement ring and wedding band - because both of those certainly, were not free (even though we wished they were!)
Testing Plans: BFN yesterday. I have to go for betas tomorrow, but I'm assuming they'll be negative.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: My temp is way down today. I'm bummed that this cycle didn't work. Because we probably won't end up with insurance company after all, we're debating about if we want to pay for another IUI right now. We'll definitely be doing at least 1-2 Clomid w/monitoring cycles.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?)
I can't think of the best thing, but last time I went grocery shopping I got 2 half gallons of milk, a dozen eggs, some granola bars, and some others things essentially free by stacking coupons with sales. That made me pretty happy.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: just happy my temp is up
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) A car (kind of). My mom is basically giving me her 2010 focus. I'm currently driving it while she still makes the payment on it
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) H gets us a lot of things for free or for trade with his work. Last year we got a free lawnmower and central a/c unit.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I didn't sleep well last night at all. I woke up every hour. I almost didn't temp, but I don't want to fall out of the habit.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) I just got a free canvas print that I really love. We used it for a family picture.
@MrsMCBMar2014 I'm at 10 dpo and caved and tested this morning too. BFN. FF gives my test date for Sunday. How long is your normal LT? Mine is 12 days, so I suppose I could have just tested too early. My temps have stayed high, but I'm trying not to read too much into symptoms. Darn this is maddening!
Testing Plans: tested today, BFN. Testing again Sunday 27
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: my temps have stayed high this Luteal phase...but I'm trying not to get my hopes up with it. I wish I hadn't tested this morning..FF says to test Sunday so I'll try to hold out till then.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) I never seem to win the free prizes or raffles..haha.. I guess I won a gift card at our squadron christmas party once. I'm also pretty happy with the discounts I get at Joann's with my mad coupon skills..LOL!
Testing Plans: still testing everyday. I got all my test out yesterday and lined them up and it looks like there may actually be a super squinter yesterday so I'm not calling anything negative yet because today was the same thing. So I guess I'll continue testing everyday.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I'm trying not to get my hopes up, which is so hard on progesterone. I've been trying to research IVF and get mentally prepared, I'm not sure if that's possible.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?). Nothing in Life is Free!
Testing Plans: Not going to test this time, waiting out my period.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Temp dip today, seriously nauseated for about 30 minutes this morning, and spotting. I want to think so badly that this is related to implantation, but since I have historically short luteal phases (9-10 days) I'm pretty convinced it's just PMS and early period spotting. I was really hopeful this cycle, and now I've got the blues.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) Nothing for free that I can think of, but a few weeks ago I got an email from Zappos reminding me of an account credit (of $200!) from shoes I returned in early 2012?? Bought 3 pairs immediatelyand they felt damn free at the time.
Testing Plans: 30th/1st but will probably cave sooner knowing me.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I have been really tired, but other than that not much. I feel a little nauseous this morning but it could be my yogurt & coffee. My temps seem a bit up and down for my liking but we'll see.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) our house (that we're currently renovating) was a wedding gift from H's grandfather. I complain about the reno but it's truly been a blessing.
@Rochelle2012 winning a trip sounds awesome! Was the airfare and everything included? Details!
@NeverTooManyShoes just when we think we know our cycles our bodies throw a curve ball. Sorry you're dealing with the wonky LP. Hopefully it means a BFP is coming!
@DarcyHermione I had a hard time parting with my original thermometer because I felt like it was special. It petered out 2 cycles ago and I just threw it away last week. FFFC?
@lilmonk that was awesome for your friend to do that for you and YH! We had a similar gift and regularly think about how lucky we are to have had the honeymoon that we did.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Temp drop and a BFN this morning means once again I'm just waiting for AF. I hate that I let myself get my hopes up again. I am so ready for this cycle to be over. I typically have 13 day LPs so I should at least start spotting today.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) We've gone on a few trips that we didn't pay for, so those were awesome.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Welp I think I'm going a little crazy now...my temp is still super high, but I've been fighting what I think is a cold/allergy mess so that could cause the high temps; I had what I thought was heartburn last night for awhile (but who really knows); I've been feeling a little "gaggy" (if that's a thing) the past day or so. Guh I'm over analyzing, but it's hard not to get hopeful...
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) I could go the aw route and say my husband, or I could go the other way and say my car that my Papou bought for me when I was in college!
Testing Plans: I'd like to say that I'll hold off until 12DPO, but I'll probably start around 8DPO
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Meh, its still to early to have any thoughts about it.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) My MIL just gave us her sweet mini-van. I never thought that I would be the mini-van kind, but I love the damn thing!

BFP #4: 9-13-2014, MMC discovered 10-27-14 at 10w, d&c on 11-6-14
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I don't know what to say today. No AF yet, i'm expecting her soon. Just want something to happen either way. And I knew I shouldn't get my hopes dashed by early testing but I can't help myself <----POASaholic.
GTKY: Probably the most expensive thing is one all-expenses-paid trip to visit my ILs whenever we want. It's our Christmas present every year. They live in the southwest and it's nice to get away from the Midwest winters!
ETA: I feel crampy this morning too...so I think that's a bad sign?
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: So I have learned my lesson and will never again go through a cycle without temping. I had a positive OPK on April 3rd and eggwhite CM, I figured I O'd on April 4, CD 17. According to that I am now 20 DPO. BFN every day. I realize now my O date is definately wrong and I guess I don't even know if I really O'd yet. What a mind fuck! I just wish AF would come so I could quit obsessing. This is my 2nd cycle off BC, first was 28 days. come on body figure it out.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) I recently won a TV from a community showcase, not bad.
@Ducktale it's hard not to get your hopes up every month I say I'm going to be all zen earth mother and not worry (pffffft) and every month I get really sad. It's natural to want this as bad as we do
Cycle/Month:4/4
DPO: 16
Timing: -2, O
Testing Plans: Every day until AF shows her ass. Or hopefully doesn't.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: thanks everyone for the support yesterday. I was in an incredibly low spot. SO was being a thunderdouche but he apologized profusely last night, and we hashed it out thankfully.
On to TTGP news... I'm now late by a day. And after I posted yesterday morning I threw up twice and had incredible nausea that made me late for work. BFN on an IC, I'll keep testing and admittedly holding out hope
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) a treadmill! Once in my stoner youth I wanted to pass a drug test for a job lol...I bought a bunch of vitamins to detox and color my urine. It entered me into a contest automatically and a really nice treadmill was delivered. I was pumped. Plot twist : I'm now a drug counselor lol
lebradford- How do you get such awesome coupons? I tried couponing once and it was so time consuming and I felt like I never got that great of deals. I wish I could figure it out!!
DPO: 8 per FF but I think it's more like 6 per my temps and EWCM until 6 days ago
Timing: Good either way
Testing Plans: Looking like none now, see below
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I started spotting last night bright red (5 DPO per my calculations) and just a little bit so far this morning. I started spotting last month at 5 DPO also (but it was brown) and that was the month I had my chemical. Anyone have experience with chemicals at all? I have a shortish LP (11-12 days, nothing to be overly concerned about) but this feels like my period coming which is WAY early and would make my LP very short. Is this normal for after a chemical pregnancy? I'm freaked out that my cycles are so messed up now, and of course they were perfectly normal BEFORE we started ttc (I charted for a year prior to TFAS). I just don't know if this warrants a call to the doc or what, I guess I just wait it out? Until last month, I have never had spotting between O day and CD 1....I know you're "normal until you're not" but still - this is my whole life I'm talking about so it seems like more than a coincidence that things are changing around a chemical pregnancy. Just wondering if any of you all had experience with this! I need to be talked down.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) Hmmm.....I guess the car my parents bought me when I turned 16 maybe? I would say my son, but he certainly wasn't free. We made him for free...but getting him here wasn't free, lol!

Testing Plans: Tested today. BFN. I know I'm not out yet, but I'm starting to get disappointed. Now I have to get emotionally prepared to help run an art station for bring your child to work day. Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I want my temps to keep going up. I slept for crap last night, and I temped early so who knows how reliable it is today.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?)
I won a laptop, printer/scanner/copier, and memory stick at my sr prom. So that was pretty awesome.
@DarcyHermione - I think I'm going to have to replace mine after this cycle too. Two mornings in a row I haven't heard it beep.. I tested it last night, and it beeped just fine. -_-
Cycle/Month:4 (since actively TTC with FF and Ovia)/ 4 (but month 1 since using OPKs and BBT and CM)

@packerfan4life - I didn't want to come in here and blab about the same stuff again LOL. Waiting for the call back about my beta (they said around 12:00-1:00 EDT)...as soon as I make all my necessary phone calls to family I will be on here making it official (can you tell I'm convinced it's real? I'm going to ugly cry and go home early if it's not).
Edit: Stupid question of the day...if I get good news, do I go to Dec. 14 (based on LMP it would be 12/29) or do I go to Jan. 15 (based on O date it's 1/1)?

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Still have a stupid cold. And now it's turned into a lovely cough... yay, here comes not being able to sleep for however long this wants to linger.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) In actuality, everything has some sort of cost..the diamond in my engagement ring was free though (given to us by family)...that was nice.
@WillCMyInk I'd go to Jan because it sucks being at the EOM due date on BMB. I was always at the eom and I hated it because ppl were moving onto their 2nd trimester and I felt like I was just getting started. Or you can go to both boards and find the coolest one. We had people due in early may on June all the time because we were that cool.
Your dr will go by LMP until the us but if it's a few days they prob won't change it.
I'm still stalking you, can't wait to see those betas.
@willcmyink, Since you know when you ovulated go by that. It's more accurate. FX for good news today!
Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.
Testing Plans: I'm trying my hardest to not go and buy tests lol. I'm trying to wait until 10-14 DPO before testing.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I've never felt like this prior to AF coming. I've been super light headed, dizzy, a little bit of cramping (started on my left side of pelvic area) and extreme bloating. I noticed CM last night and heightened sense of smell today.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) best thing for free...? Ummmm probably my car. My parents were paying the payments while I was in school and I was supposed to take over the payments after graduation. They surprised me and told me they'd paid it all off
TTC #1 since April 2014 Me (29) DH (29) Married 5+ years
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: it's too early for symptoms and too early too test--boring limbo land.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) I haven't won any prizes that I can recall...oh, I won a Graeter's gift card at work once.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I have no "symptoms" still. But I have gone to the bathroom about 10 time today, so that's fun. I should cut back on the coffee. (Sorry TMI).
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) My car. She's old now, but I love her.

GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) My MIL just gave us her sweet mini-van. I never thought that I would be the mini-van kind, but I love the damn thing!
Cycle/Month: 3/6 (including a break after a loss)
DPO: 10
Timing: high, based on opks and cm
Testing Plans: BFN this morning
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I don't know what to say today. No AF yet, i'm expecting her soon. Just want something to happen either way. And I knew I shouldn't get my hopes dashed by early testing but I can't help myself <----POASaholic.
GTKY: Probably the most expensive thing is one all-expenses-paid trip to visit my ILs whenever we want. It's our Christmas present every year. They live in the southwest and it's nice to get away from the Midwest winters!
ETA: I feel crampy this morning too...so I think that's a bad sign?
BFP #2 11/6/13 - EDD 7/14/14 - blighted ovum discovered @ 7w - natural m/c @ 10w3d
BFP #3 5/25/14 - EDD 2/1/15 - Hoping this is our 2nd little owl
A/S findings: Baby is a girl! EIF found on heart but maternit21 came back neg for chromosome disorders!!
CD/DPO:37/ who knows
Timing: totally unsure see rant
Testing Plans: every single day for the last week
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: So I have learned my lesson and will never again go through a cycle without temping. I had a positive OPK on April 3rd and eggwhite CM, I figured I O'd on April 4, CD 17. According to that I am now 20 DPO. BFN every day. I realize now my O date is definately wrong and I guess I don't even know if I really O'd yet. What a mind fuck! I just wish AF would come so I could quit obsessing. This is my 2nd cycle off BC, first was 28 days. come on body figure it out.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) I recently won a TV from a community showcase, not bad.
Cycle/Month:4/4
DPO: 16
Timing: -2, O
Testing Plans: Every day until AF shows her ass. Or hopefully doesn't.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: thanks everyone for the support yesterday. I was in an incredibly low spot. SO was being a thunderdouche but he apologized profusely last night, and we hashed it out thankfully.
On to TTGP news... I'm now late by a day. And after I posted yesterday morning I threw up twice and had incredible nausea that made me late for work. BFN on an IC, I'll keep testing and admittedly holding out hope
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) a treadmill! Once in my stoner youth I wanted to pass a drug test for a job lol...I bought a bunch of vitamins to detox and color my urine. It entered me into a contest automatically and a really nice treadmill was delivered. I was pumped. Plot twist : I'm now a drug counselor lol
DPO: 8 per FF but I think it's more like 6 per my temps and EWCM until 6 days ago
Timing: Good either way
Testing Plans: Looking like none now, see below
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I started spotting last night bright red (5 DPO per my calculations) and just a little bit so far this morning. I started spotting last month at 5 DPO also (but it was brown) and that was the month I had my chemical. Anyone have experience with chemicals at all? I have a shortish LP (11-12 days, nothing to be overly concerned about) but this feels like my period coming which is WAY early and would make my LP very short. Is this normal for after a chemical pregnancy? I'm freaked out that my cycles are so messed up now, and of course they were perfectly normal BEFORE we started ttc (I charted for a year prior to TFAS). I just don't know if this warrants a call to the doc or what, I guess I just wait it out? Until last month, I have never had spotting between O day and CD 1....I know you're "normal until you're not" but still - this is my whole life I'm talking about so it seems like more than a coincidence that things are changing around a chemical pregnancy. Just wondering if any of you all had experience with this! I need to be talked down.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?)
Hmmm.....I guess the car my parents bought me when I turned 16 maybe? I would say my son, but he certainly wasn't free. We made him for free...but getting him here wasn't free, lol!
Surprise BFP# 5 - 9/2/16 - Due 5/13/17
DPO: 10 (CD40)
Timing: -3,-2,-1
Testing Plans: Tested today. BFN. I know I'm not out yet, but I'm starting to get disappointed. Now I have to get emotionally prepared to help run an art station for bring your child to work day.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I want my temps to keep going up. I slept for crap last night, and I temped early so who knows how reliable it is today.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?)
I won a laptop, printer/scanner/copier, and memory stick at my sr prom. So that was pretty awesome.

@Ducktale - *hugs*
@NariaDreaming - I'm so sorry

@Pintobean39 I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you!
@NotElsie FX that it's just too early!
@packerfan4life - I didn't want to come in here and blab about the same stuff again LOL. Waiting for the call back about my beta (they said around 12:00-1:00 EDT)...as soon as I make all my necessary phone calls to family I will be on here making it official (can you tell I'm convinced it's real? I'm going to ugly cry and go home early if it's not).
Edit: Stupid question of the day...if I get good news, do I go to Dec. 14 (based on LMP it would be 12/29) or do I go to Jan. 15 (based on O date it's 1/1)?
DPO: 9 DPO (CD26)
Timing: -4 thru +1
Testing Plans: Sunday (12dpo), maybe Saturday.... Took a walmart cheapie this morning just so I could pee on something (of course negative)
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: Still have a stupid cold. And now it's turned into a lovely cough... yay, here comes not being able to sleep for however long this wants to linger.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) In actuality, everything has some sort of cost..the diamond in my engagement ring was free though (given to us by family)...that was nice.
Your dr will go by LMP until the us but if it's a few days they prob won't change it.
I'm still stalking you, can't wait to see those betas.
DPO: 8 DPO
Timing: O day & +3
Testing Plans: I'm trying my hardest to not go and buy tests lol. I'm trying to wait until 10-14 DPO before testing.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I've never felt like this prior to AF coming. I've been super light headed, dizzy, a little bit of cramping (started on my left side of pelvic area) and extreme bloating. I noticed CM last night and heightened sense of smell today.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) best thing for free...? Ummmm probably my car. My parents were paying the payments while I was in school and I was supposed to take over the payments after graduation. They surprised me and told me they'd paid it all off
Me (29) DH (29)
Married 5+ years
@Pintobean39 FX for you!
@dreemkin84 it's hard to say with cramping--I had cramping the day before both of my BFPs.
Sorry for the bfn @Ducktale
Cycle/Month: 6/7. 4AL
DPO: 22/7
Timing: -4,-2, -1 and O
Testing Plans: Sunday Sunday Sunday.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: it's too early for symptoms and too early too test--boring limbo land.
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) I haven't won any prizes that I can recall...oh, I won a Graeter's gift card at work once.
DPO: 8
Timing: "high"
Testing Plans: 17dpo
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Etc: I have no "symptoms" still. But I have gone to the bathroom about 10 time today, so that's fun. I should cut back on the coffee. (Sorry TMI).
GTKY: What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free (or close to it?) My car. She's old now, but I love her.
