Cycle/Month: 6 (1 AL)

Cycle Day/DPO: 30/12

Timing: High, -3, -2, -1

Testing Plans: Today, major squinter... Looks like I need to buy more tests later. I included two shots but I need to zoom in to see them on my phone. What say you, TTGP?

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Sore boobs started last night. This is a big one for me because the only time I've ever had sore boobs was when I was pregnant with my son (no soreness when I had my loss).

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? Yup, first one was at an ice cream shoppe with my best friend. It was so much fun. Senior year I worked at Old Navy.

@ashie0610 I see it!  I never see squinters (that or everyone else is an asshole and lies a lot) and I see a 2nd line.  Congrats!

Cycle/Month 2

Cycle Day/DPO: 29/8

Timing: -3, 0

Testing Plans: Used a Wondfo this morning and I swear there was a trace of a line.  I may be willing it to be there, so I'll try again in the morning. I did not even tell DH.  I did bring it to work with me. (Why!?!?)  Of course it's over an hour old now so the 'line' I saw could just be an evap line now, but it's there.  Fingers crossed.

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: 

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? Yes, I've worked since I was 15.  I worked at McDonalds for 6 months and then worked at a pizza/wings joint.Edit to add photo

Cycle/Month 3/3

Cycle Day/DPO: 26/ 12

Timing:-3, +1.... We need to figure it out better

Testing Plans: BFN this morning.... and no more.  Have to buy those Wondfros everyone talks about.

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks:  Major cramping last night and exhausted... it's probably just AF coming.  Temp dropped a little today again, so at this point I'm just waiting for AF.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school?  I worked at a small local grocery store all through high school.

Timing: Good, O-3, O-1, O

Testing Plans: FF tells me to wait until 19 DPO...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA; I will test around 12 DPO *I think*

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Heartburn has been the worst, headache, cramps, bitchiness lol - IMO this could be a sign of AF (minus the heartburn which I have sometimes anyways)

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? Yep - helped open a retail store

Moving over to this board! Hi everyone! 

Cycle/Month: 3/3

Cycle Day/DPO: 18/1

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: None yet

mrs_tacos

Cycle/Month: 9

Cycle Day/DPO: 21/7

Timing: -2, -1, +1

Testing Plans: 12DPO if no AF

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Still much boobs. Also, I have a cold, so I'm mouth breathing, so I can't tell if my temp is still rising or not.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school?: Yes, I was a part-time nanny and a public speaking coach for 5th graders my senior year. (I was homeschooled, so my time was very flexible.)

Cycle/Month 7/8

Cycle Day/DPO: 31/11

Timing: High

Testing Plans: Should have waited, BFN this AM with a temp drop. Idiot!

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: just sad.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? Yes,my first job was a skating sonic carhop. Tips were the shit!

MommaColborn

@roxyu I see a clear line! Congrats!


Cycle/Month: 1

Cycle Day/DPO: 26/5 or 9? I'm gong to need a chart stalk!

Timing: Great either way

Testing Plans: No clue now

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: So this morning, I had a pretty significant temp drop. It was below the established coverline that FF came up with, when it said I ovulated in Saturday. I discarded two super high temps I had from boozing it up to see if my coverline would be impacted, and FF changed my O date to last Wednesday. To add to the confusion, I'm wondering if my thermometer is on the fritz since I had 4 or 5 days if the same temp. Can I get a stalk?

Sorry I don't think it's a clicky.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school?

Yes, since I was 15. I worked at Polo Ralph Lauren, then Applebee's, then Old Navy.

MusicFanatic

yay for lines!!!!!!

Cycle/Month: 3/3

Cycle Day/DPO: 20/8

Timing: -1, 0, +3

Testing Plans: Not quite yet

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I'm so super tired, but still have this head cold.. can't fight it off for some reason. I'm probably tired from that.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? Yes, but only during summers. I worked in a daycare center.

RayRay007

Cycle/Month: Cycle 7 (2A2L)

Cycle Day/DPO: 19/4

Timing: -4, -2, -1

Testing Plans: 10 dpo because of acupuncture appointment and if BFN, not until 14 dpo if no AF

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Usual LP stuff - cramps, gas, breakout.

Question: Do you think your post-O temps have anything to do with progesterone levels? (I mean, yes they do, but can you gauge prog numbers based on temp). My post-O temps used to be 98.2-98.4ish but so far this cycle haven't even hit 98.0. I'm wondering the higher the progesterone, the higher the temp? So low temps mean lower progesterone? I've never had a concern about prog before, my LPs have always been good. Also, if you overlay my last few charts (on my home page), pinpointed at O and CL, my temps this month aren't that far off, adjusted for CL. Just wondering. 

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? Nope. My parents always left us long lists of chores to keep us busy in the summer though.

ashie0610 - I think I see it too! FX  

roxyu - I totally see it! Congrats!

Cycle/Month 1

Cycle Day/DPO: 26/9

Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1

Testing Plans: The screaming bag of wondfos in my drawer won today, I caved and tested. BFN - now I'm mad at myself for testing before day 10

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I had a 0.2 degree temp spike this morning and started to feel hopeful, hence the testing. Just have to remind myself 9 dpo is still early.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? Yup, two of them. I worked at a toy store for about a year, which was a fun job. I also was a cashier at target - which I hated. To this day I can not wear tan and red together. 

melissa1209

I'm new to this thread so I'm jumping right in.

Cycle/Month: 1/1

Cycle Day/DPO: 27/12

Timing: -3, -2, -1, O, +1, +2, +3

Testing Plans: Did this morning. Came out with a BFN, it was 5 a.m. and I didn't think I saw a faint line or anything. I'm not testing again unless AF doesn't come, which she should make her grand appearance on Sunday. I thought I had that feeling that I was but...I don't know now. Was I too early to test?

Rants/Phantom Symptoms: I thought I was feeling sore boobs/sensitivity there, and I've had some mild pain in my abdomen, and then some mood swings, but who knows. The BFN this morning threw me off.

GTKY: Sure did. I was a waitress at a local pizza restaurant.

RayRay007

@ashie0610 I think I see something!

@roxyu I definitely see a line, but if the pic was taken an hour later, I can't say it's not an evap. (although with a line that obvious, it's hopefully not) FX!

@bazingabee Hi! I hope your IUI went well! 

@MommaColborn I agree with CD 17.

@ashie0610 and @roxyu I see lines on both!

Cycle/Month: 3/3

Cycle Day/DPO:17/6

Timing: -2, -1, O, +1

Testing Plans: None yet.

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Had a bit of a drop on 3dpo but temp has been going steadily up since then… lots of creamy CM yesterday and some cramping this morning.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? Yes, several! I was a camp counselor in the summers, worked at two different retail clothing stores, and in a chocolate store for a bit (that was dangerous).

Cycle/Month: 20/18

Cycle Day/DPO: 19/7

Timing:  -3, -1 

Testing Plans:  None

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks:  Too early

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school?  I worked in the childcare center of a local ski resort, delivered food on weekends for a local cafe, and babysat (different years/summers…not all at the same time).

KrissyLeighN

Fingers crossed that squinter gets darker @Ashie0610 I never see squinters either but I can somewhat see something on the second pic.    For some reason @roxyu pic doesn't come up for me, but fingers crossed for you as well!

@jj32 sorry this cycle was a bust    

@shandelyn more wine and doggy cuddles ?  hey, it ain't over til it's over...

 

Cycle/Month: 23/23 (2nd temping / HSG cycle)

Cycle Day/DPO: 22 / 7 DPO

Timing:  Good   -6, -4, -2, O

Testing Plans:  None, unless I don't get my period by CD 29/30 (14/15 DPO)

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks:  Really tired, dizzy and I had a moment of crazy last night yelling at my husband - but those are also my pms symptoms.  Just had some cramping a minute ago, but same-sy... could be pms symptom.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school?  Yes, at 13 I landed my first under-the-table job as a counter person at a pizza place.    There was a help wanted sign in the window and I walked in and asked the manager about it.  He took my info and said "do you have any experience with food" and I said, "well, I eat it".    

I had a short lived career there - Friday and Saturday nights were crazy, five different phone lines ringing at once -  people would spit out their order so fast and when I'd ask them to repeat it they would get impatient - so I would just write their order out as whatever I thought they said, most of the time I was wrong. 

joshua+rebecca11

@ashie0610 - I'm hoping for you!!! Hope that squinter turns into a blazing line!
@roxyu - I see a line too...Fx!
@bazingbee - glad to see you over here! Good luck on the IUI, I am so rooting for you.

Just got here from W2O...phew.

Cycle/Month: 4/4

Cycle Day/DPO: 22/2

Timing: incredible. We hit every day before O for 7 days, O day, and the next. Hopefully DH didn't run out of time to make little spermies in between!

Test plans: 13 DPO, whenever that is, if AF hasn't arrived

Rants/chart stalks: nada, just glad to be here

GTKY: I worked at a little local restaurant in our tiny town...I'd ride my bike to the place

@ashie0610 and @roxyu, I see lines!  Congrats!

@MommaColborn I'm not sure how you are thinking 5dpo is a possiblity?  I could argue for ovulation on CD19 or CD20.  I hate when charts aren't clear.  FWIW, on my old CVS thermometer I used to get flat temperatures for days like you have there.  It had favorite temps it would hit, so I think it would just round to the closest.  This month I switched to a BBT that reads to 0.01s and I am seeing slight variations in my temp that I am sure in previous months were all getting rounded to the closest favorite.  So I wouldn't say your thermometer is bad, but it's not giving you the accuracy it might advertise.

As for me:

Cycle/Month: Would be 4/4 but we missed FW this month so I am out.

Cycle Day/DPO: 22 / 10

Timing: nonexistent

Testing Plans: none

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I had a big temp rise this morning at 10dpo which would have me excited if we had actually tried this month.  Now I'll just keep it in mind in the future that I shouldn't get excited about temp rises because they can definitely mean nothing.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school?  No, just occasional babysitting.  My parents wanted me to focus on school so I wasn't allowed to have a job even if I wanted one.  They gave me spending money if I needed/wanted it so it was fine with me.

See? This chart is messing with my head! I was wrong. I should be 6 dpo from my original CHs on cycle day 20. My thermometer is from CVS as well. I think I'll try a new one next cycle if I'm out. This temp dip this morning probably seals the deal.

amylee545

ashie0610 I see it! I see it! Fx for a darker line tomorrow!

roxyu I totally see yours too! Pee on a FRER!!! Fx that its not an evap

RayRay007 I read somewhere that lower post-O temps (or temps that aren't much higher than pre-O temps) could signify low progesterone. Not sure how true it is, but I definitely read it somewhere.

Cycle/Month: 6/6

Cycle Day/DPO: 18/4 (or 3 according to FF... see rant)

Timing: -3, -2, -1 (or -4, -3, -2 according to FF)... great timing regardless!

Testing Plans: Going to try to hold out till 12DPO which is next Saturday

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Goddamn FF moved my CH from CD 14 to 15.... not sure I agree with them though. My pre-O temps this month were higher than previous months because I was sick, so I think it's confusing FF. Ugh I hate when this happens and throws me for a loop. Whatever. We had good timing regardless.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? Just babysitting jobs here and there. I was involved in so many extra-curricular activities that I didn't have any time for an actual job. I was fortunate enough that my parents were willing to pay for most of my shit.

Edited to add to my rant

roxyu

roxyu I totally see yours too! Pee on a FRER!!! Fx that its not an evap

I plan to run out and buy a digi at lunch today. Ok, maybe a box of 3 or more so I can pee on one immediately, but have one for my FMU tomorrow and then another just for good measure!!!  

NL15

@ashie0610 @roxyu - Fx for you both!!

Cycle/Month: 1/1

Cycle Day/DPO: 21/3

Timing: I O'd a few days earlier than expected so we only hit -1 & O

Testing Plans: Waiting until AF is late.

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Nothing.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? Yes - I worked at Dairy Queen.

@RayRay007 - My post-O temps have also been slightly lower this month.  I was searching FF for info on this topic this morning and according to them, unless you have significantly higher or lower temps than usual, there isn't cause for concern.  Another study on FF about O temp rises and post-O temps concluded that there was not a correlation between these and pregnancy.  I am with you though...it is so discouraging and really messing with my head (and hope).   

Cycle/Month:  2/2

Cycle Day/DPO: 21/5

Timing: High

Testing Plans:  next Friday

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks:  Same as RayRay007 - wondering why my post-O temps have been lower than usual this cycle, but then again so were my pre-O temps.  I know everyone is different and has their own "normal,"  but it is hard not to get discouraged, especially after reading about progesterone deficiencies.  

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school?

I worked as a receptionist at a whitewater rafting company in Gatlinburg, TN.  I worked there from age 13 - 17, and another year in college. So fun!

nswain85

Cycle/Month: 8/8

Cycle Day/DPO: 25/8

Timing: -1

Testing Plans: none unless I'm "late"

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: This is day 4 of headaches I am wondering if it is just a migraine that won't go away because I'm afraid to take my heavy duty meds or the sinus cold thing that is still hanging around. I'm starting to get confused... I have also been beyond starving! Like I could eat all day long if I was allowed! I haven't been the most delightful person to be around in the evenings either when I'm tired, and yes, hungry. Poor hubby...! I am starting to change my mind about taking a TTC break after this cycle... DH is concerned about the status of my job and being big and pregnant (hopefully!) when it comes time to find a new one but at this point I am getting closer to the year mark of trying and don't want to wast time. We'll see...

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? Yep! I was a tutor and maybe something else but I can't remember at the moment...

peggels24

@ashie0610 and @roxyu - I see something on both!  Fx for both of you!

Cycle/Month: 2/2 (post-loss)

Cycle Day/DPO: CD26

Timing:we'll see

Testing Plans: Tested today - stark white.  Was going to test tomorrow because I'm going out for a friend's birthday - debating if I should waste a FRER or use another Walmart cheapie.  AF is due Sunday or Monday at the latest.

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Nothing....everything.  The biggest one is that my stomach has been off.  If I don't keep food in it, it gets angry and starts making me feel ill.  And it's painful to lean into my desk but that could be a sign of AF as well.  It's funny because I was testing early and I knew that and it didn't bother me but now that I'm getting closer, I'm scared to test and kinda want to wait until AF is late.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? I had a ton of different jobs - mostly over the summers but some during the school year.  I worked for the NY Dept of Conservation for a summer; the school print shop for 3 summers; babysitting; pizza place

divinemsbee

Cycle/Month: 14/14 Cycle Day/DPO: 32/13ish Timing: Good Testing Plans: Maybe Monday? I refuse to test until I can call directly after the test for betas, so I won't test over a weekend (yes, that is weird and superstitious). Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Meh. If I had CD1 today I could go ahead and schedule my SIS for next week. If not and I start over the weekend I have to wait until Monday to schedule. I'm still all PMS-y, but it's letting up a bit, I'm not as super-emotional, but my boobs still hurt. I'm just inspecting the toilet paper every time I go to the bathroom. GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? I babysat occasionally and I worked in church nursery one day a week, but not any sort of real job. I did teach Sunday school for volunteer hours. I was expected to focus on school and extra-curriculars. I do kind of wish I'd had a more 'real job' so I could have done what friends of mine did and put the money away for college.

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 22/5?

Timing: -4,-2,-1,+1

Testing plans: 12 DPO. It's easy to be strong when you're only 5 DPO. I haz ballz.

Rants/Symptoms: I'm too buy focusing on whatever plague I have to decide if I feel KU. Hypothetically if I felt twinges and ute cramps Id be crazy right? I mean totally hypothetical......


GTKY: I was home schooled so yes I worked full-time in HS. I moved out when I was 18.

kaimee27

@ashie0610 and @roxyu  I see a line...congratulations!!

@roxyu & @ashie0610 I see lines on both of your tests! I think you're both moving on to 1st tri!!!

Cycle Day/DPO: 30/15
( Can someone tell why FF chart keeps changing everyday? My forecasted menses and O day keep shifting by 1 day when I haven't made any changes?)

Timing: -3,-1,+1

Testing Plans: None, AF will be here today. Cant believe I'm still in 2WW, I thought AF was supposed to be here yday, seems like it'll be here today.

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Feel like I have a UTI, low blood sugar easily

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? Yes I tutored kids

raelynn71109

Cycle/Month 3

Cycle Day/DPO: 18/3

Timing: -5, -3, -1x2, O

Testing Plans: Not sure yet, probably depends on how well I hold out ignoring phantom symptoms.

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: this is my first month temping and I was so excited to see crosshairs! I was worried I would have trouble temping because I am a mouth breather and a very restless sleeper. My chart looks better than I expected.

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school? I was a cashier in a pharmacy.

roxyu

Thank you everyone for the well wishes!  I bought my digitals and will be testing first thing tomorrow morning.  Of course I'll be using a couple of Wondfos this evening as well!

shandelyn

Good luck to the squinters! @roxyu and @ashie0610

Cycle/Month: 3/5

Cycle Day/DPO: CD 47

Timing: See "rant"

Testing Plans: Blood test BFN on Wednesday

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I don't really "belong" in the 2ww anymore, because I'm not testing anymore, but I had been posting here and I wanted to update, so I hope you'll have me. I had my RE intake appointment on Wednesday. They checked my estrogen and progesterone, and did a blood pregnancy test. Obviously, I am not pregnant. The progesterone was a 1.05 and the nurse practitioner that I talked to said that if I had ovulated at all, it was probably "weak ovulation," but that she couldn't say for sure without having had a baseline that cycle. My estrogen was super low (21), which of course has me pretty worried. They gave me the okay to start Provera (again), and I am going to start my testing and monitoring next cycle. I wanted to thank everyone who has supported me so far in trying to figure out if I ovulated, as obviously my body is a hot mess right now, and is pretty confusing. I don't really feel like I have a place to check in for right now, but I might move to the WtoO thread. Good luck, ladies!

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school?

I had several! I was a waitress at a shitty breakfast place, I was a cashier at two different grocery stores, I worked in the bakery at a grocery store for a while, I bussed tables at a local country club, I was a cook at Pizza Hut (which I actually loved because all of my friends worked there), and I stocked magazines at a few stores for a magazine distribution company. Whew!

ashie0610

Thanks ladies! I'm so glad you could see it too! I am so insanely nervous, yet hopeful. My period still hasn't shown so I'm starting to believe.

FX for you too, @roxyu!

Cycle/Month:  3/4  1AL

Cycle Day/DPO:  CD23/ 4DPO

Timing: -3,-1, and O

Testing Plans:  I bought a 3 pack of FRER on amazon--it's going to be tough waiting until 12 dpo (that's my plan currently)

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks:  Nope, other than I swore off alcohol in the 2ww and I'm slightly regretting it now that I'm meeting friends after work for Mexican.  Mexican food and no margaritas??  Does not compute. 

GTKY: Did you have a job in high school?  Yes--I worked in the local grocery store's kitchen (Hy-Vee anyone?) and would come home so greasy and reeking of fried chicken.  I also never had a boyfriend in high school...COINCIDENCE??
