Gtky What is your favourite part about winter? assuming you all have winter and not lovely warm palm trees that makwe us envy you! Well I do live around some palm trees...I would say the cooler weather, it can get so hot here and I like to wear a sweater outside!
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - Am I the only one terrified of testing early because I don't want to knoe if I end up with a chemical pregnancy? Maybe its my previous m/c that scares me.
Gtky - What is your favourite part about winter? (assuming you all have winter and not lovely warm palm trees that makwe us envy you!) Sweatshirts and sweatpants. Not having to shave my legs much. Christmas!
Hi! I'm new-ish to the bump. Long time lurker. First time on a thread like this.
Cycle/month - 6/6
CD/dpo - 24/7
Timing - O-4, O-2, O-1 (with +OPK in the morning, gone by the afternoon)
Testing plans - After lots of disappointment I'm trying to talk myself into waiting until after I hopefully miss a period!
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - 7DPO and temp went down to cover-line today. But I feel like I'm getting sick with a cold.
charts talks/questions - Trying not to.
Symptoms - just some cramping but that is something I get before AF.
Gtky - What is your favourite part about winter? (assuming you all have winter and not lovely warm palm trees that makwe us envy you!)
I live in the Northeast so we definitely have a winter. And I don't like any part of it. Well, I like the snow when it's falling because it is pretty. But then there is the mess it leaves behind!
Testing plans - no real plans/wait as long as I can
Thoughts/rants/raves/ -trying pineapple core for the first time this month, we'll see how it goes.
charts talks/questions - kind of wish my temps were a bit higher with some of the open circles I have it still makes me nervous about O, usually my average post O temps are at least 2 tenths of a degree higher.
Symptoms - none
Gtky - What is your favourite part about winter? (assuming you all
have winter and not lovely warm palm trees that makwe us envy you!) Probably just being able to wear cozy sweaters, drinking hot drinks, and lighting a fire.
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - I hate that I keep feeling what I am sure are phantom symptoms...wish I could stop my brain from thinking about it!
I feel the same way! I know I need to just relax and wait but it's very hard. I probably have the same "symptoms" every month but am only noticing more this month b/c its our first TTC. Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer to find out one way or the other!
Glad I'm not the only one, hope so too! This is the first full cycle off BCP for me, so I most likely have these symptoms normally, but just didn't know being on the pill. Like you said, just want to know one way or the other!
Testing plans - Never. It was going to be tomorrow (15 or 12 DPO) but with my huge temp drop and my cramps I am sure I will start bleeding anytime.
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - I give up. If this cycle is a bust, I will have a break cycle because DH has his second carpal tunnel surgery and the break will probably be 2-3 months because thats how long one cycle will be.
charts talks/questions - Not that it makes a big difference, but do you think 14 or 11 DPO today?
Symptoms - Cramps, fatigue, Headaches
Gtky - What is your favourite part about winter? (assuming you all have winter and not lovely warm palm trees that makwe us envy you!) Call me crazy but I like snow!

charts talks/questions please do look at my chart if you have a chance. FF gave me dotted CHs on CD15, but I think it was cd18 or 19. If I get my period in the morning like I suspect that could give me my shortest lp. I just want to make sure its accurate. I am not worried about one short lp, though. .
Sorry I am late with this but maybe try adding more secondary signs like CM/CP and maybe try OPKs. It is hard to tell - it could go either O date.

Testing plans next Wednesday if AF doesn't visit first
Thoughts/rants/raves/ the holidays seems to have lowered my IQ, I can't type or all straight and I apparently forgot to tell my dad we were staying with him while in Seattle, luckily he assumed we were or DH was going to be so mad!
charts talks/questions I am not entirely certain I did O because my temps are all over the place, Arg
Symptoms sore nipples, back ache
Gtky What is your favourite part about winter? I love snow when it's not all icy and has been plowed so its not in the roads. I love playing in it and taking pictures in it. Unfortunately we dot really get much of it.

No, you are definitely not the only one who thinks that!!! That is exactly why I don't want to test early! If I just get my period then all I know is that I was never pg. For me, that's much easier to take.
Testing plans I won't admit to testing until 10 DPO
Thoughts/rants/raves/ had a nice temp spike yesterday and a drop today BUT I woke up stuffy with a dry mouth and I know the temp dip was due to that.
charts talks/questions just wish I temped on CD15... It would/could/probably did effect my O day
Symptoms none... Which is weird for me, I usually get a little crampy around this time before AF
Gtky What is your favourite part about winter? assuming you all have winter and not lovely warm palm trees that makwe us envy you!
I love the cold... The snow... The drinks, comfort foods and sweaters. I love boots and hats and snuggling inside all weekend. I love everything about winter.
Symptoms - burpy, tender nipples, bad taste in mouth.
Gtky - What is your favourite part of winter? I don't like it at all. I hate being cold. However I do like the first good snow storm. It's very pretty.

Hello, I am new here, thought I'd join in on this board
Cycle/month - 1/1
CD/dpo - 28/3 (if FF is correct)
Timing - O-4, O, O+1
Testing plans - Jan 15 if AF doesn't make her appearance
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - This is our first month TTC, so we are excited. Trying not to get my hopes up too much as I know it's not likely to get pregnant the first month.
charts talks/questions - None
Symptoms - I'm sure they aren't related as I'm sure 3 DPO is way too early (if FF is accurate), but I have been getting really nauseas lately and had some spotting yesterday.
Gtky - What is your favourite part about winter? (assuming you all have winter and not lovely warm palm trees that makwe us envy you!) I love the wardrobe. Boots, Sweaters, Scarves...my favorite things to wear

Thanks, Karda! I am really bad about not inputting my data and then forgetting what it was. I think I am going to add OPKs next cycle. I am finally eating my words from my first UO. I said I thought opks were pointless. I was soooo wrong.
ETA...added a word.

I would definately try OPK's. They are cheap and work great! I was forgetting to add my data into FF for a while there too but I have the phone app and it is so handy! I just add the data right after I do it.

Okay, I am new to this so if I mess it up, just tell me nicely
Cycle/Month- Day 19/28
CD/DPO-4
Timing- not sure about this one
Testing- I am going to try to wait until 2 days after FF told me to test, but I am already going crazy!
I have started charting but not measuring temp or anything since this is our first month trying seriously. Considering getting a fertility monitor going forward though if needed. The temperature/charting stuff confuses me honestly!
Since yesterday I have been totally bloated/gassy (TMI, I know) I really never have PMS symptoms, just cramps usually right before I start. So hoping I am not crazy and something is going on in there!.
I am a guidance counselor, so my favorite part about winter is getting a break to de-stress and spend with DH and friends.
Thanks for being my place to vent! We decided not to tell anyone we were trying seriously, which is driving me crazy because we have really close friends who I am going to see tonight and its going to be obvious when I am not drinking!
Sounds like you and I are in the same boat!!! This is our first month TTC as well, and I'm also confused by charting and temping. I am a teacher so the break is so nice. Totally not ready to go back Monday! We aren't telling anyone either and everyone keeps asking why I'm not drinking! It's hard not to tell them when it's so exciting. I have 2 more days than you to wait until testing. It's making time pass so slow! GL to you
