Jags8

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/DPO: 33/10

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, O

Testing Plans: I was silly and tested Sunday at 8DPO and it was of course a BFN. I will test tomorrow morning at 11 DPO

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: I haven't been sleeping well and I'm seriously exhausted. My nipples haven't stopped hurting since the day before ovulating. I have a light cold. I had cramping on Saturday at 7DPO and thought I was going to get my period, but I didn't.

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go?

I shave it all off. I hate having hair down there. It makes me itchy and feel unclean. I tried getting it waxed once. Fuck that shit!! I was shaking and sweating it hurt so bad!

epidemic

Cycle/Month:6

CD/DPO: 9 or 10  

Timing: O-3, O-1 or O-3, O

Testing Plans: I don't know anymore..maybe sat or sun

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms:  FF took it upon itself to shift my CHs today. WTH? It's 9 or 10 DPO..Gah! I have no idea what that means..but I'm just trying to get through the week. 

GTKY: How do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? I trim regularly, but prefer to wax in the summer. 

@nevertoomanyshoes: Tehe! I thought it would be a fun way to elicit a giggle this morning!  I hope AF isn't on her way for you (or me!) FX!

suzysurparis

Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD/DPO:40/14

Timing: -4, +1

Testing Plans: another BFN today, so I think I'm out.

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: My pimples are clearing up, so I'm pretty sure AF should show up sometime today or tomorrow. I'm happy to see this crazy-long cycle and all it's baggage go!

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? Never wax,  the rest depends on how busy I am and the season.

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 22/6

Timing: bad

Testing Plans: none

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: my temp is still down to last month's coverline, but FF says it's .1 degrees lower this month and is still giving me solid CH. I'm new to charting, so I don't second guess FF, just seems weird to me.

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? Trim. If I shave too much I get a horrible rash, so it's boy shorts for me. 

smg2302

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 24/?

Timing: meh

Testing Plans: I tested yesterday because I was home alone and DH wasn't there to stop me.  BFN. 

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: I suspect I didn't actually O until CD 18 though, in which case our timing was AWFUL, so I probably wont test again unless I hit a really long cycle.  I'm still adjusting to no BC, so I don't even know what a normal cycle is anymore.

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go?

So funny that this is the topic of conversation today.  Normally I shave, but since I had DD I have trouble getting in the nooks and crannies.  I just bought an at home wax strip kit to try since I am going on a week long vacation to the beach next week and don't wanna mess with my garden once I leave.

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 25/10

Timing: good

Testing Plans: tomorrow 11dpo

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: weird pulling/cramping but we all know that means absolutely nothing. 

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? So I used to be the WORST and just let me garden grow. And then I bought a LivingSocial for a phenomenal waxer and was so pleased, as was DH. Reminds me, I need to make an appt. 

kelley72

sjpmcfmd  sorry about the negative

 

Good luck to all testing this week/end!

 

Cycle/Month: 2/3

CD/DPO: 29/12

Timing: Good...

 

Testing Plans: I tested Negative at 10dpo, probably will not unless I don't start on Friday

 

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: just enough heartburn and vaginal "heaviness" to make me wonder... then I shake my head and say no...

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go?  I shave, I'm one of those that cannot stand waxing as I've been scalded/burned by too hot of wax before, also I do not care for all my hair to be gone I like a little shade for the sweet spot

tlc35

ETA:  Looks like several of us testing tomorrow at 11dpo @jags8 and @irishcurls

Cycle/Month:  2/4 1AL

CD/DPO: 32/10

Timing: -3, -1, +1

Testing Plans:  BFN yesterday (too early)  will test again tomorrow

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: Still just hungry and peeing alot.

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go?   I wax occasionally before vacations but too time consuming to do regularly.  I tried doing it at home and just made a mess once.  Usually I do a combo of shave and trim.

::lurking from W2O::

tee hee, lady garden.  I now have "Mary Mary, quite contrary.  How does your garden grow?" running through my head...

@Jags8 - I almost died laughing reading your post.. Have you read this before:https://www.matchdoctor.com/blog_47706/Waxing_-_A_story_every_woman_should_read.html

@Katydid2014 - I hope you feel better soon! But it's nice to stay home every once in a while

@Ava826 - FF can be a bit funny sometimes, but it takes it a few cycles to learn your pattern. Stick with it! Hopefully it clears up soon!

@Humblebee2 - I hope you aren't out! FX for you!

cycle/month: 4al

cd/dpo: 27/12

timing: high

testing: bfn at 11 dpo...holding out until AF is late.  Thursday.

rants/raves/phantom symptoms:  i've been feeling all kinds of twinges and pulls since 9 dpo...sore nipples....headaches...and just feel my stomach is off.  What a mind game this is! 

QOTD:  shave and trim...I do wish I was brave enough to give waxing a try. 

Good luck to those waiting to test & hugs to everyone w/ bfn's.  

MaddScientist

Cycle/Month: 9

CD/DPO: 33/19

Timing: -4, -3, -1, O

Testing plans: BFP on a FRER this morning! 

Rants/raves/symptoms: We didn't do anything different this cycle than any of the previous 8. I was woefully inadequate in my water intake, and we didn't even use preseed this month. 

Symptoms: none whatsoever. Frankly, I am a little concerned with my low temps and my hard/low cervix - which is most of the reason I waited till 19DPO to test - that and my LP has been 17 days so this is actually the first day I am 'late'. I showed H the test and said 'looks like we are getting a second chance - here's hoping this one sticks' 

I am just leaving this here because while I lurked an obscene amount of time (like a year) before I started posting - I have only been active for a few months. I appreciate all the information and entertainment this board has given me. Thanks ladies 

No pics as I am the last dinosaur and don't have a smart phone. 

ETA: forgot to say that the EDD is my 32nd b-day  - Feb 20, 2015 here's hoping for an awesome birthday present

Bee1112

CD/DPO: 38/7

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, O

Testing Plans: Sunday

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: I'm riding the crazy train. My boobs hurt, I'm exhausted, I'm moody, I have heartburn that shouldn't happen since I take a daily pill and my hair and face are super greasy. I'm sure all of it means absolutely nothing.

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go?
Shave. I want to try wax but I'm scared it will hurt too much. I'm a baby.

kelley72

MaddScientist !  Congrats!!!  Hope your pregnancy goes beautifully! lol dinosaur... I too have an old phone... just not into gadgetry

Cycle/Month: 9;6AL CD/DPO: 20/7 Timing: high Testing Plans: Saturday Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: my temp was high this morning but I probably shouldn't have even bothered. I think I finally got to sleep at 3-3:30 and had to get up for work at 5:45. Gotta love tornado warnings and severe weather that strike at 10 pm. I'm going to need a lot of caffeine today. GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? Shave and trim.

smg2302

@maddscientist Congrats!  I think you have earned a BFP thread though.

@epidemic‌ that story as horrifying and hilarious! I at least had a pro do mine, but it still hurt like nothing else!

@MaddScientist‌ wahooooo congrats lady!!!

Cycle/Month: 2/3 (first after CP)

CD/DPO: 29/3

Timing: -3,-1,+1

Testing Plans: not until AF is a no show

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: FF pushed my CH back another day, but CD 26 was what I thought all along so I'm glad FF agrees with me lol.

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? Shave/trim

klburke88

MaddScientist congratulations! How exciting?!

Cycle/Month: 1/2

CD/DPO: 38/12

Timing: ntnp, but -5

Testing Plans: None, unless AF doesn't show up by Monday. 

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: started very light spotting yesterday and had a huge temp drop this morning, which probably means I'll be moving on to next cycle by Friday. Not a surprise or really disappointing, since we are ntnp until August/September. 

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? I mostly just shave, never waxed before. Depends on the time of the month, but with it being summer, I try to keep it pretty bare

mrskelly731

Cycle/Month: 14/22

CD/DPO: 149/10

Timing: O-1, O+1

Testing Plans: All you other 10DPO's are convincing me to test tomorrow at 11DPO

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: I am really bloated

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? I am a shaver.  Hate prickly hair.  I shave my legs, pits, and 'lady garden' every time I shower.

MiraK03

@MaddScientist‌ congrats!!

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 22/32 or 8dpo since the ladies suggested I may have O'd on the 23rd

Timing: not great

Testing Plans: not sure... may just wait it out another week if AF doesn't show

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: nada

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? Shave/trim.... I'm too much of a wuss to try waxing

PHNJenna

Congratulations @MaddScientist‌ !

Cycle/Month: 4/4


CD/DPO: 16/3

Timing: Good -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, +1


Testing Plans: 10 DPO (6/24) if I can wait until then.


Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: I haven't been sleeping well, which is unusual for me. I don't think it’s a symptom though, it’s just pissing me off.

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? Shave and trim.

Lurking because 2WW is always my favorite thread! Congratulations @MaddScientist!

Congratulations @MaddScientist‌!

Cycle/Month: 3/3 (1 after CP)

CD/DPO: 24/8 or 6

Timing: Good

Testing Plans: Thought I would wait until next Wednesday, but will probably test this Saturday. It will be 10 or 12 DPO

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: Tired, but that could be the damn cats keeping me up. Serious acid reflux/heartburn ALL DAY yesterday, something I've never experienced before. Weirdly dizzy this morning. I may just have a cold.

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? Combo of trim and shave

LtColumbo

Cycle/Month: 6

CD/DPO: 31 / 12ish

Timing: not good

Testing Plans: tested at 10dpo ish, BFN, tested today at 12dpo ish with SMU, BFN

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: 

I am about to whine.. I am having a terrible PMS month, which makes me so bummed to not be pregnant. It's like my body is like "hey, you aren't pregnant, sucks to be you, but you will feel like utter shit anyway!" Like what did I do to deserve this? I know I sound melodramatic but I seriously feel so shitty. Fatigue, nausea, boobs are huge and hurt like hell, bloated, body hurts. I hate everything. Carry on.

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? Wax 

CONGRATS @MaddScientist !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sweetsmom

Congratulations @MaddScientist!

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/DPO: 2

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing Plans: Probably 11 or 14 DPO

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: a little moody, tired (nothing new), and a blah feeling in my gut. I'm sure it's nothing. 

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? lol shave and trim.

bookworm982

Cycle/Month: 

CD/DPO: 33/10 or 12

Timing: -4, -2 or -4, O

Testing Plans: Squinter this morning on Clinical Guard and First Signal. I was about to toss the first test when I realized it was actually positive, and that made me dig out the second. I sent DH to the store to get more testes for tomorrow.

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: Mild cramps and blood in my cm once yesterday (implantation bleeding?). My chart is a mess because I've been sick for three days, so my last 3 temps are off. I also have 3 possible O dates (though the one ff picked has to be wrong), so I don't even know my edd. That said, I cannot believe we have a bfp because I was sure we were out this cycle, so I'll just count my blessings and smile.

GTKY: how do you tend your lady garden? Do you wax, shave, trim or just let it go? I trim very infrequently.

@Maddscientist, we might have to compare "safety" notes. I keep trying to google "autoclave fumes during pregnancy" and not getting much....I have a feeling my doctor might not be much more help with some of this stuff....

Your cover line can be different each cycle. The numbers don't matter, it's the overall pattern that you're looking for. 

I know, it's just weird to see the flat, low line of temps. It's the temp that I got most pre-O days last month. Which means nothing b/c blanket change over for summer. Also, bodies are weird and they do what they want.

Ugh, I tried looking up a list of no-no chemicals and reagents on the EHSO (environmental health and safety office) website where I work, which is where this info should be. But, I couldn't find anything comprehensive or different than what I already knew. Luckily I don't work with too many hazardous chemicals. I think I will have to be fitted for a more regulated mask when I am doing my mouse surgeries (Formalin (formaldehyde) use) but I don't really wanna spread around that I am looking for this info now you know? I can totally let know what what I find out though - once I am at the point of sharing at work I will set up an appt to actually talk to someone about it.
