Re: *~*gtky*~* just for funsies :-)

3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early? 6 doo
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bih AF. obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose I prefer to test and find out before AF
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy? Probably a girly girl,
Def the 2WW
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business?
A little bit of both...romance and strictly business
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early?
I'm addicted to peeig on sticks...don't remember exactly but it was def early.
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bih AF. obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose
I would rather see a negative...it prepares me for the bih!
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy?
Def. girly girl ;
1. 2ww, I don't always ovulate and when I do is so varied that there's more question surrounding it. The 2ww is very straight-forward.
2. Fw isn't really any different for us. We typically dtd ed/eod anyway. Although with 2u2 it's usually just quickies here and there.
3. This is my first time charting to get pg. Last time I charted was before we were married (aka no sex) so it was just to find out when af would start.
4. I'd rather test and get a bfn. I'm a poas addict.
5. In between.
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business? we try and keep it as romantic as possible. I'm sure as the cycles go on it will begin to be a grind, but I want to keep my time with DH special
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early? I've never charted, so I guess I don't know this one. With DD I tried to wait until about the one month mark from my last period to test
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF. (obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose). I'd rather test and get a negative.
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy? more of a tomboy
1. which do you prefer if you had to choose, 2 week wait or waiting to ovulate?
Probably 2WW...I feel like I may burst from the suspense, but I prefer knowing exactly what's happening in black and white. At the end of the 2ww, I'll be either pregnant or not pregnant. I haven't been paying enough attention so far to know exactly when I'm ovulating.
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business?
So far we have been romantic (ish, we've been together 10 years after all), but it's the early days yet.
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early?
I've actually never taken one. We didn't want any surprises before we were married, so we've always doubled up on birth control and I wasn't ever late so had no reason to test. Now I am in my first 2ww and it is making me crazy! I am trying to hold out as long as I can.
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF. (obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose)
I'm really not sure. I think I'm going to wait for AF for a few days, then test to see. I guess whichever happens first.
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy?
Total girly girl.
My Ovulation Chart
Thank you!! and I actually like the bold its way easier for me to read. :-)
1. which do you prefer if you had to choose, 2 week wait or waiting to ovulate?
This cycle, waiting to O because the previous 2 cycles I didn't O at all. I'm still waiting on crosshairs and have bloodwork next week to confirm but I am feeling confident!
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business?
Depends on the time of day.
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early?
10DPO
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF. (obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose)
AF. Either sucks.
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy?
Total girly girl!
1. Totally prefer waiting to o. The 2ww is just like waiting for disappointment!
2. We try to keep ot pretty romantic, but it's gonna happen regardless. Of course, we're pretty much eod anyway so it's not hard.
3. Not super early, maybe a few days before AF. I'm not a fan of poas.
4. Wait for it. It's less of a disappointment. If I poas it gets my hopes up!
5. Total tomboy, but it's fun to girl it up sometimes!
1. which do you prefer if you had to choose, 2 week wait or waiting to ovulate?
The 2WW for sure. It's always the anticipation of whether this is the month or not.
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business?
When we were TTC DS it was more like, "I'm ovulating, let's do this!" but this time around I think I'll try to be more romantic
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early?
I think 7 DPO.
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF. (obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose)
I prefer to test
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy?
Probably more of a tomboy. I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl
Definetly 2WW. I chart, but I'm always afraid I'm going to miss my FW. Just paranoid, I guess.
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business? We've never been that romantic. We usually try to make it fun... no stress or anything. I just wanted a quickie last night, but DH wanted to drag it out, lol.
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early?
Silly, I know, but 8 DPO. We had DH's class reunion and I needed to be sure I could drink through it.
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bih AF. obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose
I usually test the day before AF is due. I like to be prepared.
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy?
I'm very much a tomboy. I like to hunt and fish. I like to ride 4wheelers and get dirty. I like jeans, tshirts, and hoodies. Although, I do dress up to go out and clean up pretty nicely, lol.
1. which do you prefer if you had to choose, 2 week wait or waiting to ovulate?
Waiting to O.....my stress level is so much lower!!
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business? After almost a year and half of this business, I just don't have it in me to make it romantic every.single.time
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early? probably 9dpo, though I have seen a few people on here get BFP's at 8 and 9dpo!!
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF. (obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose) I prefer to test and get a negative....I've never been one to wait...plus I have a 16 day luteal phase, so who can wait that long, right??
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy? girly-girl!!

1. which do you prefer if you had to choose, 2 week wait or waiting to ovulate?
Probably waiting to O. Less stressful, less wondering...
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business?
I don't know about every time, but I do try for the most part. We have just started, so that might be part of it. lol
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early?
This is my first cycle charting, so I don't know if it ever was too early. The only times I've taken them were when I thought I was late (based on when af was due for past periods).
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF. (obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose)
Probably test for the bfn. So af isn't such a surprise visit.
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy?
Tomboy for sure. Jeans, t-shirts, video games...But I do like to get dressed up and girly sometimes!

Baby Sam 10/4/2013, 36 weeks 2 days, 5 lbs 14 oz
1. which do you prefer if you had to choose, 2 week wait or waiting to ovulate? -- I prefer the 2ww. I at least know how long I have to wait for AF to arrive or when I can test. It is sometimes hard to determine when I'm going to O and it's more stressful for me to try to predict the best days to have sex because of this.
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business? -- We try to make it romantic but after a few days we get worn out. I think I'll break out the lingerie this cycle, and hubby suggested we play a game of not repeating any positions.
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early? --My first cycle I wasn't charting or anything and I was pretty positive I was pregnant, you know, I had sore boobs and had been knitting a lot, so I think I took a test about 7-8 days before my period actually arrived.
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF. (obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose) -- This is a tough one for me. I don't like being disappointed by either but normally I start spotting before I can test or get my period and I just assume I'm out at that point. If that ever stops I think I'll start POAS like crazy.
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy? Definitely a girly girl.

1. which do you prefer if you had to choose, 2 week wait or waiting to ovulate?
probably 2ww. I hate trying to predict O - at least during the 2ww I know exactly how many days I need to wait until I can test
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business?
a mix of both...
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early?
8dpo - one month we had very good timing, and I had all the right "symptoms", and I've seen some people get BFPs at 8dpo :-p
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF. (obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose)
definitely getting the bfn - it helps me not get my hopes up too much
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy?
I'm a nerd - haha - sorry, that should be a category of it's own

2. Honestly, we've been TTC since June 2011. IF kinda takes the romance out of the entire process.
3. IDK

Looks like the majority of us prefer the tww and most of us like to poas before AF arrives. :-) maybe a bunch of control freaks?
It was about equal on romance vs business., more girly girls than tom boys. :-) improve all the answers!!! One poster hadn't ever poas!!! She is my new inspiration!!
fun i want to play!
1. Definitely 2WW, for one it I'm always worried about an annovolutary cycle, even though I only had one, so once I O that's gone and the other reason is that I don't O till CD 23-24, so it's a much longer wait.
2. I try to keep it romantic but by the end of my FW it seems to be more baby making business.
3. I believe it was 8 DPO after I had a dream about getting a BFP, that was my second cycle.
4. I prefer to test, it brings me back to reality.
5. I would say tomboy although in some respects I'm more of a girly-girl.
1. Which do you prefer if you had to choose, two week wait or waiting to ovulate?
The TWW because I stress myself out trying to get timing right.
2. When is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business?
We're how we are all the time haha. Somewhere in between the two.
3. What is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early?
12DPO, so it was kind of borderline early.
4. When it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF? (Obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose).
Probably AF, that way I'm out of my misery without any hope left lol.
5. Do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy?
So, so, so, so girly. Haha.
1. which do you prefer if you had to choose, 2 week wait or waiting to ovulate?
Waiting to ovulate fo' sure!
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business?
Strickly baby business. My DH is ok with that and I just tell him I am going to be jumping his bones a lot. He just rolls with it!
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early?
6DPO, WTF was I thinking!
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF. (obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose)
I tend to wait for AF. I am not a POAS addict because I hate seeing BFN's and avoid them by just not testing!
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy?
Growing up I was a tomboy. Now that I am older, I have become very girly.

I love shoes too!! I'm lucky though, my mom has super expensive taste and buys all these fabulous shoes and clothes. Yes, I borrow them a lot. - :-) ya I'd rather own them myself but this saves me money.:-)
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business? Little bit of both, depending on our moods.
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early? 8 DPO. ::hangs head in shame::
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF. (obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose) If we had good timing, I tend to test because I get too excited to wait. If I'm pretty sure our timing was crap, I'll just wait it out.
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy? I like to girl it up sometimes, but not all the time.
1. which do you prefer if you had to choose, 2 week wait or waiting to ovulate?
2 WW, I have PCOS and don't O on my own =(
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business?
IUI route but we did the BD before and after the IUI for better luck like the REI suggested
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early?
Before REI, a week after my last period I know that would have been too early to tell
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF. (obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose)
Test, I hate waiting lol I wanna know NOW!
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy?
I was a tomboy growing up from 5-10, my Mom dressed me head to toe in pink purple and orange I started to hate it and grew up on a street with all boys. About 20 started to love pink and purple and orange now I can't get enough.
1. which do you prefer if you had to choose, 2 week wait or waiting to ovulate? Definitely the 2WW
2. when is time for fertile week and to hio, do you make it romantic every time or are you strictly baby business? I wouldn't say it's always romantic, but we keep it sexy even during my FW.
3. what is the earliest you have taken a pregnancy test that you can remember, knowing that it was too early? The first month I went of BCP, I took one before I most likely even ovulated (though I wasn't charting, so I can't be sure).
4. when it comes time to find out if you're pregnant or not do you prefer to test and have a negative or wait for that bi#$h AF. (obviously we want a bfp but if you had to choose) I'd rather wait for AF than to see the negative, but my impatience always get the best of me.
5. do you consider yourself girly girl or more of a tomboy? I'm more girly than tomboy.
