GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time?
Re: TWW Thursday
CD/DPO: 34/10
Timing: -4,-1,0
Testing Plans: I don't know, maybe Saturday or Sunday or Monday (AF would be late) it's so stressful
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk.
I'm a mess....temperature went back to the highest of all time this morning. But I have been feeling horrible and I'm sure AF is on the way (lots of right side cramping) I don't even have the energy to symptom spot anymore. I have had acid reflux starting late afternoon for the past two day, making it almost impossible to eat and I don't do well without food
I'll put my chart if some people wants to see it but I feel it's playing tricks on me.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? Chicken with a "tail" made with inflated balloons. (6th grade)
CD/DPO: One day past
Timing: I can't remember what I'm supposed to put here. It's too early. lol. We were pretty strong going into my FW, but then it all fell apart in the end and we didn't BD on O day.
Testing Plans: I think I'm just going to wait for AF on this one. I feel like we failed this cycle.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Mad at DH for choosing sleep over BD on O day. He doesn't get to be called "Dear" today!
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time?
CD/DPO: 19/6
Timing: -3,-2,-1,0,+2
Testing Plans: I want to wait until 16 DPO (essentially after AF is late) but I can feel my will power dropping already.10 more days is a LONG time and 4 more days seems so much more reasonable.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Same as yesterday, my dog keeps waking up early so my temps are all 30-45 minutes earlier than they should be. I am a tad bit of a perfectionist and the open circles bug me so much. On the bright side, it seems like my body is doing pretty darn well after coming off BCPs a few weeks ago. Super excited about that.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time?
I don't know about "best" but my favorite by far was my costume from when I was 5 or 6. My mom made my costume every year and I chose a pattern for a ballerina pig. They tried to talk me out of it but I was determined to be a ballerina pig. I found the picture last year and couldn't stop laughing. eta-Other odd childhood costumes included a dragon and a lion. I had a thing for animals...
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: -1
Testing Plans: Maybe Sunday or Monday if temps go up and no AF (expected Monday or Tuesday).
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Had a temp drop this morning of almost 0.3. Still higher than any of my pre-O temps, but I just have a feeling that this isn't the month. I didn't have a lot of hope with our timing, but it still sucks.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? I was never into Halloween as an adult so I haven't had any good costumes. As a kid, I won a prize in 3rd grade when I dressed as a Christmas tree, haha.
Married: July 2015
BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
Month/Cycle: 4
CD/DPO: 25/8
Timing: -4,-3,-1,0
Testing Plans: 10 DPO
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I'm having a hard time not symptom spotting, especially because my good friend who is 5 1/2 weeks along keeps saying, ohh I had that! My temps are JUST above cover line so I'm worried that I'm out already. Also, I'm thinking that I have a short luteal phase- can any of the bump gods tell me what that means for me???
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? One year I dressed up making fun of one of my girlfriends (all in good fun). We had had an epic snow storm on year in college and she was wearing leggings, sneakers, flannel and a backwards hat-- so that was my costume.
ETA: I'm the one on the left. Also, I hope she never finds this or she'll kill me!
Baby #2 Due 3/7/20
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: -3, -1, 0, +1
Testing Plans: I am not going to test until at least 12 DPO. Pretty much all of my cycles have been 28-31 days, and this cycle, 12 DPO will be CD 28 since I ovulated on CD 16 rather than CD 19 like usual.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: So happy that I got solid crosshairs and that our timing was good. Now I must keep myself preoccupied for the next 9 days!
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? My husband and I went to a couples Halloween party a few years ago and we went as a pair of boobs. I sewed red lacy fabric on each of our shirts and then we stuffed a balloon underneath them. We stood side by side all night so that the costume would make sense - otherwise I looked like I was dressed as a pregnant lady with a weird shirt!
Month/Cycle: 4
CD/DPO: 27/4
Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,O
Testing Plans: 17 or 18th
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I had a craving for chocolate milk yesterday, same craving I had when I was pg. totes knocked up, right??
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time?
Hershey's Kiss!
CD/DPO: 27/14
Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0, +2
Testing Plans: I've been testing since 10dpo with all negatives. I gave up testing this morning.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: DH and I had sex last night and afterwards when I went to the bathroom, my cm and everything was tinged pink. I haven't had anything since but I dont take that as a positive sign. My temp went down a little this morning. I'm in a shitty mood today and I'm mad at the world. AF will likely be here tomorrow, just like she has been the past 11 months. I'm bitter, I'm sad, and I'm scared. I think reality is finally hitting me that I am probably entering into my 12th cycle and 12th month of ttc which is what my biggest fear has been. I'm really emotional about it today.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? DH and I went as The Joker and Harley Quinn 2 years ago. We won Most Scary and Sexiest costume. Last year we went as Paul Bunyon and Babe the Blue Ox which was fun.

@Jenners24 that's what I'm struggling with right now too! I am only 8DPO, but 3 days before missed period. I am going to try to wait until Saturday to test, I would say Sunday but who I am kidding!!
Baby #2 Due 3/7/20
CD/DPO: 24/8 (O date not confirmed though...)
Timing: every other day
Testing Plans: waiting til CD 30 if I make it that far...
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: today SUCKS! I feel really ill so have come home from work to sleep. I'm meant to be racing saturday and have a night with the girls planned but instead am pretty sure I'll be in bed all weekend. Also I found out today that 1 of my coworkers, who is 5 years older than me, is pregnant which in terms of her wedding (she wasn't trying before apparently - it was a whirlwind romance) she must have pretty much got KU on the wedding night. ARGGG!
If this month is a fail I give up
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? Last year I made a Sally dress (pic attached) from Nightmare before Christmas and hubby went as Jack.
CD/DPO: 27/11
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Testing Plans: 14DPO (Sunday)
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: my cat totally snuggled my gut non-stop this morning. So. You know what that means: empty food dish! For real though, I've got nothing. TWW is harder for me when DH isn't here for sure reason.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? In college, I was Silent Bob and a friend was Jay. I kept silent and in character all night. It was the most fun I've had for Halloween!
@jolydan FX for you! Your chart is pretty!
@laurenm2123 I am a KD!

BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
Baby #2 Due 3/7/20
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 31/14
Timing: -4,1
Testing Plans: Tested last night, BFN. I'll test again on Saturday if AF doesn't show up before then.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I really don't know where I am in my cycle since I haven't started temping yet. I figured O by CM but I'm not confident. I'm looking forward to getting my thermometer so I can really start doing this. I'm pretty sure I'm out this month.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? Halloween 2013 I was 7 months pregnant and I went as a bowling ball. I worn all black, cut out 3 white circles and glued them to my belly. It was the easiest costume ever and I was comfortable all night. \:D/
DD #2: EDD July 2016
CD/DPO: 17/4
Timing: -1, 0
Testing Plans: 13DPO
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Nothing really, just, you know, waiting.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time?
My husband and I won 2nd place in a costume contest in college as Mario and Peach. It was awesome. I've never had so many people want to take a picture with me.
Fur babies: Phoenix and Yeti (both cats).
September 2016- Infertility Testing
dx: Low Progesterone, Vitamin D Deficiency, Borderline PCOS
Treatment:
October 2016-January 2017- Metformin, Clomid/Letrozole, hcg trigger, progesterone
IUI- 2/17/2017 BFP 3/2/2017!
CD/DPO: Not paying attn or temping post O for sanity
Timing: 2 days before fertile window ED during fertile window except FF's O date (which I question) and the day after
Testing Plans: Sunday/Monday the earliest, I'm due for my period on Wednesday of next week
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: It really is a cruel joke on women that pregnancy symptoms are the same as pre-menstrual ones. I've been trying really hard not to symptom spot, but I woke up with crampy feelings last night, my boobs have been intermittently throbbing for the past few days, I'm bloated, and I"m gassy which are ALL potential PMS symptoms.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? Not to brag I've had some pretty epic costumes, the few years I dress up I go all out in the creativity department, but my favorite has to be a witch costume my mom made for me when I was a little kid, because it was made with her loving hands.
CD/DPO: 29/10
Timing: -1
Testing Plans: BFN yesterday. Probably again this weekend if AF doesn't beat me to it.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: temp dropped yesterday a bit but came back at the highest temp I've ever had this morning. I didn't wake up with the horrible cramps I usually get on the day of my period, so I'm hoping they stay away for awhile.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? My girl friends and I were Charlie's Angels. I used to have a picture of us losing somewhere.
Month/Cycle: 5/4
CD/DPO: 37/14
Timing: -5, -3, -2, 0
Testing Plans: I don't think it will be necessary. AF is looking like she'll be here in the morning.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Temp went down a little. Still within post-O range (had the same temp a couple of times during the tww), but if I was KU wouldn't it be climbing higher? I don't feel anything except my boobs hurt which always happens before AF. I am considering myself out, but can't help holding onto a shred of hope I guess.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? When I was 7 months with DS, I painted my belly as humpty dumpty which was pretty fantastic. Also, when I was 8, I went as a cell phone. They were really new at the time, and the costume was pretty amazing! I die laughing whenever I think about it.
ETA: @jolydan and @meggyme your charts both look great.
@severmilli12, I am so sorry! Sending you positivity.
CD/DPO: 19/7 (Don't quote me on that. I haven't had my coffee)
Timing: -4and +1 (unconfirmed)
Testing Plans: 11dpo
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Trying to treat my BV at home. So I can't symptom spot. Lol. CM means nothing. Cramps mean nothing. AF always makes me a weepy bitch.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time?
Pregnant cheerleader. I'm from a small town with an abstinence only policy and the highest teen pregnancy rate in quite a large radius. I borrowed the school cheer uniform from a much taller friend and was able to stuff it pretty well. Enough that later my boyfriend's cousin tried to stop me from having a drink, anyway.
For costumes not related to Halloween, I made a great Red Riding Hood one year for a convention.
ETA: A) I'm getting sick so now I am grumpy. Haha.
Yes I am a geek...
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: -3,-1,0(x2)
Testing Plans: nadda- bfn today
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: temp drop this morning and a bfn. All my past cycles I've had a temp drop 11dpo so I'm pretty sure I'm out this month.
Struggling to fight back tears at work this morning. I really thought that this was our month.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? Bambi and thumper
Surgery Dec 2016: submucosal fibroid removed
Awaiting RE appointment
Baby #2 Due 3/7/20
CD/DPO: 3DPO
Timing: -3,-1,0,1
Testing Plans: 10DPO and up if 7dpo blood test confirms ovulation
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Really trying not to get my hopes up, but it's hard!
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? Audrey Hepburn! I think I did a pretty good job, even if i do say so myself!
HSG - All clear, ectopic kidney didn't affect uterus (yay!)
CT Adrenal Scan - no tumors!
SA - sperm count excellent, 2% Morphology
March/April IUI scheduled - surprise BFP w/ help of Progesterone - 3/18/2016

EDD 12/1 based on O, 11/28 per Ob/Gyn (but he's wrong lol).
*TEAM BLUE!*
Surgery Dec 2016: submucosal fibroid removed
Awaiting RE appointment
CD/DPO: 14/3
Timing: -5, -3, -1, O, 1
Testing Plans: this is only my second cycle and, even though I hate BFNs, I'm still obsessed with POAS so probably 9 or 10 DPO
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: after having a rough day yesterday, I'm excited that I got my first solid crosshairs (first month temping). If temping gets to be too much, I'll stop during the TWW but I might keep it up just because this is my first cycle and I don't really know what it looks like for me.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? I didn't really dress up growing up, I come from a hispanic family and they didn't really observe Halloween. As a grownup, my most favorite costume was a gipsy cuz it was cute 8->
CD/DPO: 29/I don't even know anymore
Timing: ED/EOD
Testing Plans: Probably this weekend
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: FF has changed my O date 3 times and I'm super frustrated! AF is due today and I had cramping a few days ago but nothing since then. I'll probably cave and test this weekend but I'm expecting a BFN since I don't even know when (or if) I actually ovulated. If I'm not KU I just want AF to show her ugly face so we can start over...and I can drown myself in wine.
GTKY: I absolutely LOVE dogs so when I was younger my grandma made me a dalmatian costume and I loved it!
Eta: you know you're SS when a lack of symptoms is a symptom.
I love that there are so many pictures of everyone's favorite Halloween costumes!!
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 18/4
Timing: -2, 0
Testing Plans: Not until day 14
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I had a dream last night that I was pregnant with triplets! The pregnancy test was fancy and would tell you what the beta levels were and how many babies there were. Crazy!
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? I think my favorite was Minnie Mouse. The worst was the year my parents got divorced. I was 6 years old and my mom talked me into being a "ski bunny". Basically, I wore my parka, jeans and carried ski poles. Lame!!
CD/DPO: 58/5
Timing: -4,-3,-2,-1,+1
Testing Plans: Next Friday (13 DPO)... which seems f.o.r.e.v.e.r away
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I can avoid symptom spotting, but I am struggling with the patience of just letting days pass! DH keeps asking me about timing and testing and it is NOT helping! I might POAS next Tuesday just for kicks...
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? My mom always made our costumes and she was really good at it! The best was the year I went as a purple crayon. Non-Halloween, my friend and I nerded out and went to a costume party as Star Wars characters... we looked awesome!
CD/DPO: 23/6
Timing: not good
Testing Plans: none
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Tomorrow is d-day for me. Temp has plummeted every 7DPO and AF has shown up at 8DPO. So anxious I'm sure I'll wake up super early tomorrow.
GTKY: What was your best Halloween costume of all time? My mom has never been into Halloween so I was never one to have fun costumes. My favorite was junior year of college I went as the walk of shame. Mini skirt, high heels, borrowed my boyfriend's sweatshirt and did my hair and makeup super messy. And taped a condom wrapper to my sweatshirt. LOVED it.
