Cycle/Month: 3
CD/DPO: 25/4
Timing: -4, -3, -1, O
Testing Plans: July 1 (11 DPO)
Chart Stalks/Rants/Raves: Question. ** anyone have any insight on painful sex after O? ** Dr. Google was unhelpful, gave me baby center and the like. Anyway, some suggested sensitive ovaries but its sharp pain in the center and after a few thrusts it's manageable. Next logical idea is the cervix, but that's supposed to be high during O, and the pain starts 2-3 days post O. Sorry for the long question. Thanks ladies!
GTKY: 2 weeks in Hawaii!
TTC #1 since May 2014 3 failed IUI cycles Oct '15 - IVF 1 - 10R, 3M, 0F Sept '16 - IVF - 12R, 11M, 5F and 3 perfect day 5 blasts - MMC 7w5d Jan '17 - FET 1 - BFP, EDD 10/14
Chart stalk/rants/raves/symptoms etc: definitely PMSy and have sore boobs. Plus barely sleeping last night. Maybe a trip to Cherry Berry tonight will make it all better...
GTKY: what was the best vacation you ever took? That's tough. I think spending a week in San Diego. I would move there in a heart beat.
Testing plans: I have a blood test scheduled for July 7
Chart stalk/rants/raves/symptoms etc: I haven't gotten actual temp spike yet, but since I had the IUI, I am goin to hang out here. I had a little temp dip today, so I expect a spike tomorrow morning.
GTKY: what was the best vacation you ever took? Spring break, senior year. Me and three girl friends rented a condo in Daytona Beach. We STILL talk about those memories!
GTKY: what was the best vacation you ever took? Hmm. I think probably our honeymoon in Playa del Carmen. It certainly the fanciest vacay I've ever taken.

TTC #1 Me (30), DH (30)
BFP: 3/14/2014, CP 3/17/2014 6/13/14 - Began O & 7 DPO bloodwork
Chart stalk/rants/raves/symptoms etc: None? I'm pretty much asymptomatic. Sore boobs but no 4 days of spotting as has happened for the previous 3 cycles and no short term spotting like the rest of my life. I'm becoming confused.
GTKY: what was the best vacation you ever took? 10 days in the Caribbean on a cruise. St. Thomas, Haiti, Dominican and Puerto Rico .. it was amazing
What we did: HIO, OPK's, preseed, green tea, temping, charting secondary symptoms, evening primrose oil, the green tea, preseed and oil were new this cycle.
How I told DH: he knew I was taking tests and I would show him every time so nothing really special per se. He was super suspicious of the squinters, but me being that I worked in a family planning clinic for 4 years knows that a line is a line, he still wants me to take a digi later this week. But I can tell he is all smiley and giddy, we are both excited.
Symptoms: tiredness, insomnia, waves of nausea, moodiness, a little cramping. Overall don't feel too "different" though.
The Loves and Such: this has been such a great community! I'm actually kind of nervous to start all over again on the BMB! I've learned a lot from you all, you've made me laugh and given advice. Thank you! I haven't been around long, so will just leave my BFP here. Good luck to all of you and hope to see you over in March 15!
Testing plans: I am proud of myself for not caving this morning, lol. Maybe tomorrow or Thursday (FF says I'm due for AF on Sunday, so...)
Chart stalk/rants/raves/symptoms etc: Tired, boobs hurt (and they've gotten bigger than usual, actually rather annoying lol). Think I've had some heartburn too, but that could just be from Sunday's epic brunch.
GTKY: what was the best vacation you ever took?
Toss up between our honeymoon (SanFran, Kona, Honolulu, & San Diego) and our baseball road trip last summer.

@smg2302@PHNJenna I see those lines, congrats ladies! @Runner1981 I would mark the 2nd temp because for my body the time is the most important factor. @DarcyHermione I hope you have good 1st appt & they start working on answers for you.
Cycle/month: 2/3
CD/DPO: 36/10
Timing:-3,-1,+1
Testing plans: still trying to hold out until at least 14dpo.
Chart stalk/rants/raves/symptoms etc: I've definitely boarded the crazy train. I have been exhausted the last couple days & nauseous yesterday.
GTKY: what was the best vacation you ever took? It's a tie between our honeymoon in Maui & our 1 year anniversary trip to Italy. They were both amazing!
I'm losing my mind here! No spotting, which has always been normal for me, BFN, nothing going on at all. Dammit body! Why ya gotta mess with me?? I know things are normal until they're not but nothing is normal right now!! And just for funsies, DD and I are flying up to visit my parents for 5 days so I can go be confused up there with no sticks to pee on and trying to keep it all quiet. /vent. Thanks for giving me an outlet!
Testing plans: None unless no AF –
That would put testing at 12dpo (July 1st)
Chart stalk/rants/raves/symptoms etc:
None yet – it is too early for that. I am really going to try and stay level
headed this time around. I got super psyched up last time and the BFN was a
real bummer. Trying to avoid that this time around.
GTKY: what was the best vacation you
ever took? Best vacation would have to be our honeymoon. Not only was it
the longest vacation by far, it was also probably the most needed, and it was
the most fun! We flew from California to Florida and spent the first 4 days of
our honeymoon in Disney World and then we spent the second half on a Disney
Cruise in the Bahamas. We swam with Dolphins and did the water slides in
Atlantis and did jet skis and swam in the amazingly clear water and just had a
great week. We have decided we are doing the same trip again (with a longer
cruise) for our 5 year anniversary and I can’t wait!
@Cythe Yep! Trying not to cave before the 1st - so having you as a testing buddy will help with that! FX for you!
Alright then! No caving for you else I shall envoke the power of the Testing Buddy. Good luck! Also, we are always accepting new July 1 testing buddies!

@collers4 without temping, it could be tough to confirm you've O'd - I don't know your personal history so I won't say impossible. You might not get a lot out of temping post-O but, its good to get in the habit in case this isn't your month.

@mrsberg9282014 Don't be too impressed yet. If the exhaustion, nausea & constant urination continue today, I might cave tomorrow morning. After last cycle's CP I am pretty frightened either way =\.
Testing plans: trying to wait it out for the next few days but may break down before then.
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: Major rant. My BFF, who has been ttc'ing as long as I have, called me yesterday to tell me about her BFP. I am thrilled for her, of course, but still couldn't help but feel so disappointed. Then she told me that she and her H only had sex once all month and she still got KU! I'm planning down to a science and still nothing. Even though I'm not officially out yet this month, I feel like AF is coming. Sooo discouraged. Ugh. Thanks for letting me rant!!
GTKY: I LOVE to travel and do it as much as possible. It's so hard to choose what's best. I have taken 3 cross country trips where I've seen so much of the country, so I guess I'd say those have been the best.
Married to DH (aka the love of my life) since June 17th, 2006
@cythe - I had painful sex last cycle during the 2WW! No idea why, and it hasn't happened before. Maybe just one of those weird things? I totally did the whole "must be pregnant" thought process with it too
@adoucette06 - hard to say from one temp on its own, but I know my chart is really thrown by lack of sleep or different temping times. You may have a better idea tomorrow.
@Runner1981 - Assuming you were asleep by midnight, I'd use the 3AM temp.
@collers4- I'm of the mindset that you can never have too much data. I'd start temping now to get in the habit and to give yourself more to work off of in comparing your next cycles.

Rants/Raves/Phantom
Symptoms: Just really tired. Sometimes I think my super-sniffer has kicked in, but sometimes I think that's happened on cycles we were TTA too.
GTKY: what was the best vacation you ever took? DH and I went to Bora Bora. It was so beautiful and the food was amazing.
Testing plans: I caved yesterday, BFN. I don't even wanna see another test unless my period is late
Chart stalk/rants/raves/symptoms etc: sore boobs like every other god damn cycle so I'm sure this'll end the same way those all did. We're going to NY this weekend with family and I think I'm not even going to bring a test with me. I'm tired of seeing BFNs
GTKY: what was the best vacation you ever took?
Last month we went to Paris, Rome & Athens... Just amazing!
