Testing plans: I got the squintiest of squinters this morning! I stared at it, blinked my eyes 20 times, refocused, and stared again. I'm going to test again tomorrow morning and hope for a darker, more confident line. I don't trust it just yet...
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Boobs are slightly larger and achy. Super tired all the time "for no reason" as my husband says (like I don't do a damn thing all day )
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We went to Washington DC for the weekend and stayed at a little B&B type place. Not what I had dreamt of my whole life, but it was fun. Eventually, tho, we would like to drive the entire continental US and stop and see anything and everything. Luckily the military will continue to relocate us all around the country, so we will have lots of opportunities to live in different places.
Testing plans: YOU GUYS. Look at my pee stick below.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: none.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We went to Hawaii (on vacation, we're not married) it was the greatest vacation I've ever been on.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I'm 90% sure I'm out. I had my pre-menstral migraine that I get every month yesterday and feel pretty PMS-y. AF is due Friday.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We honeymooned where we got married (we had a destination wedding) on Captiva Island, FL. It was the most gorgeous and magical place.
~* TTGP July Siggy Challenge: Reality/Guilty Pleasure TV *~
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: My temp has been dropping and now has been below coverline for two days. Last cycle, I had pretty substantial bleeding at 6 dpo. The bleeding then stopped and held off for a few days before AF really arrived. I am hoping to not see any of that today. [-(
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We went to San Francisco, Sonoma wine country, and Lake Tahoe. It was amazing- I love the memories that we have from there.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: This was my first month temping so I'm just excited to see crosshairs. I already knew our timing was crummy but I work nightshifts and didn't know how my temps would play out. I was totally shocked when they popped up yesterday, and can't really explain the comfort of just actually knowing I'm in the TWW, or that I O'd, or exactly what days we hit, etc.. DH has been all about NTNP, and now that I've temped, I feel like I can actually relax and NTNP, because at least I know what our chances are, and that if we start getting anxious and decide to do more than NTNP, I will already kinda know what is up with my body.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation?
We went to Alaska last August as a (really) late honeymoon/birthday gift to DH/vacation/family visit. Dream vacation would be Hawaii, or maybe Greece. Somewhere with a beach, clear water, beautiful scenery, and a taste of culture. Alaska was pretty awesome though, can't complain.
Testing plans: Been testing since 9dpo, all bfn's. However, I just got 2 squinters on wondfos and a squinter but a definite line on a FRER. I am freaking out bc this seems late to turn a positive and I am nervous about a CP.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Could I get a chart stalk? Do you think I ovulated later than FF suggests? With my son, I turned a + at 8dpo so 12dpo seems pretty late. My temps didn't really get high for a few days either so I was surprised when FF gave me CH's.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We went to Hawaii. It was amazing and we vowed to go back someday!
I'm in limbo...I am pretty sure I am 2 DPO because I ovulate like clockwork and have all the telling signs...EWCM, +OPK for 24 hours, O pain like usual. If I put in a dummy temp for tomorrow it gives me CH. We will wait and see tomorrow
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I have nothing. I'm starting to feel like I'm out for this month. I don't really know why. I was looking into everything at 3-6 dpo (temp dip, heartburn, etc.) when it was too early for anything. We'll see!
GTKY: we did a destination wedding in Jamaica, so we honeymooned there too. It was a blast!
@linny1012 - How magical to see a doe and her fawn! I don't like to read into things, but it's a hopeful sight I'm sure.
@pinkroses53 - 12 dpo doesn't seem late at all to turn a positive - at least I've heard it takes some women up to 15dpo to turn a positive. But I see you have some past charts where you tested at 8dpo, so I see why you're apprehensive. I'm crossing my fingers you have something that will stick! ALSO - I agree, 18 looks like it's another good candidate for O.
Cycle/Month: 2
CD/DPO: 19/4
Timing: -1, O
Testing plans: Still not sure! I will be traveling out west when my period is due, so I'm not sure if I'll just let go and not think about it or if I will test on the 18th at our friend's house...The 18th would mark 2 weeks from O.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Nothing except left boob is tender, but that could be o related.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We were lucky enough to go to Europe. It was awesome!!!

TTC since 5/2014
Aug 15 January Siggy Challenge: Favorite "mean girl" from tv/movies
Congrats @lizziemoore513 and @SNLT1012 what a great start to the morning! I get migraines during shark week too @luvbunny I hope yours is over soon.
Cycle/month: 1/3
CD/DPO: 50/4
Timing: O, +2
Testing plans: only if shark week doesn't show. At least, that's what I'm telling myself...
Rants/raves/chartstalks/symptoms: FF let me keep my CHICKEN, which makes me giddy. After 48 days of NOTHING, I was sure my temp would drop and FF would take them back. But I'm still here!
GTKY: We didn't go on a honeymoon. But we have always wanted to visit Ireland. DHs family is Irish and he still has family there. We'll get there one day!
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: temp is continuing to drop and with my spotting last night I'm expecting AF today at some point.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? I want to stay in one of those little huts out in the middle of the blue water, like the Maldives
TTC #1 since April 2014 Me (29) DH (29) Married 5+ years
@lizziemoore513 - WOOOO HOOOOO!!!! Thats so exciting!!! Hopefully it gets darker by tomorrow, but I am so excited for ya!
@SNLT1012 - Congratulaaaaations! Amazing! What an exciting day on the board!
Cycle/Month: 6/13
CD/DPO: 22/1
Timing: -4,-1, O
Testing plans: Just trying to keep this out of my head too soon. I don't want to spend the next two weeks just focusing on this and nothing else. I feel like I should go out and have a few beers or something just in case it all works out.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Paying attention to every little ache or movement of my abdomen which is getting old quickly.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? Oh my goodness. Such a hard question. I loved Australia, and I would love to take my SO there. But I have always been dying to go to Greece. Mexico? Anywhere! I need a vacation lol
@PinkRoses53- I think I would be willing to say CD18 is more of an O date.Congrats!!!
Cycle/Month: 4(3AL)/12
CD/DPO: 38/14dpo 15dpiui
Timing: -5, IUI-1,O
Testing plans: follow up betas tomorrow morning. I still have another digital leftover. Not sure if I am going to use it or not.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: this is such a mind fuck. Yesterday I had waves of nausea, but the cramping started to get painful. I 100% expected to see blood this morning. So far nothing, but I am exhausted. I am seriously phoning it in as a parent today and lying on the couch while the monster watches Sprout.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation?
We didn't go on a honeymoon. Our plan was to buy a house, save money, and go to Hawaii on our first anniversary. HOWEVER, on our first anniversary we were very very unexpectedly 7 months pregnant, so we saved the money to pay bills while I was on maternity leave. Maybe by our 5th anniversary (next year) we'll get that honeymoon to Hawaii
@Mamabina, a few beers to distract yourself sound like a good idea! Hope you relax a bit and don't stress too much!
Cycle/Month: 1
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: -3, -2, O.
Testing plans: Sat, July 12 would make it 11 DPO, is it better to wait longer if I have a 15 day luteal phase, say Wednesday, 7/16 at 15 DPO or it doesn't make a difference?
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: none really. I don't even want to test because I', doubtful we were successful from the first month of trying! My mom keeps on reminding me how my dad needs something to do since he retired last month (i.e., be the baby nanny) lol.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We went to Hawaii but we were disappointed that the ocean had lots of coral in it. In hindsight, we would have just went to the Caribbean. We did do the most amazing hike on the Na Pali Coastline in Kauai though, which was awesome!
@pinkroses53 I think CD18 looks possible based on temps, but the other data (CM and +opk) make me inclined to agree with FF? I'm not sure though. Congrats and FX either way!!
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: One very sore boob but that's a normal PMS symptom lately. Otherwise, I don't know... I feel like I don't get as hopeful anymore after this many cycles as I did in the beginning.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We went to Puerto Vallarta Mexico and it was lovely. My dream is to do a Mediterranean cruise someday (Italy, Greece, Spain, etc).
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I'm 99% sure I'm out but not officially yet. Probably today or tomorrow. This is the longest cycle I've ever had but my chart is so bad from traveling its hard to feel excited.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? Turks & Caicos! It was awesome!
***********************************
TTC #1 for 18+ months - Age 32
Aug-2014: All initial testing went well, waiting for 2015 for possible IUI.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Had some weird brown/tan discharge yesterday that I noticed dried on my panties. Possible implantation? Other than a little nausea this morning, which was more like just being hungry, I feel completely normal. Really unsure about this month.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We honeymooned in the Upper Peninsula, but our dream vacation would be Fiji or Bora Bora.
E (24) + DH (30) 2 first trimester losses (2011, 2012) Actively TTC since January 2014 Project RAINBOW
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Nothing, just feeling totally normal.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We've thought about going to Peru, but that's a total "dream" trip. We went to Niagara Falls and Toronto for our honeymoon.
Testing plans: Sat, July 12 would make it 11 DPO, is it better to wait longer if I have a 15 day luteal phase, say Wednesday, 7/16 at 15 DPO or it doesn't make a difference?
I don't think it's "better" or "worse" to test earlier or later, just a personal preference. Even with a 15 day LP, you might be able to turn a positive at 11 DPO, or you might not until later on. Lots of people like to test early, and others like to wait so as not to waste tests/get disappointed at the negatives. With a 15 day LP, a test at 14 or 15 DPO is likely pretty accurate, though.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: my CH moved, which shifted the dates FF calculated for my O, and so in hindsight we should have screwed more often. I was just excited to get CH this month! I'm cranky, bloaty, gassy, and probably a few other dwarves I'm forgetting right now.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We didn't have our honeymoon yet, and I'm not really too worried about that. For our one year anniversary we rode our tandem from Washington, DC to Pittsburgh, PA over 5 days. At the time it was exhausting - but I'd totally do it again! We stayed at some really nice B&Bs along the way.

Me: 33 | Him: 44 | Married: 9.2012 | Two cats | N + 1 bicycles
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: So, my temp dipped under the coverline today at 5dpo. I am still somewhat new to temping so I asked Dr. Google and it seemed to be OK, as long as it goes back up tomorrow. Anyone with any thoughts on this?
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We went to Europe on our honeymoon but I'd love to go to Bora Bora someday.

Thanks for that @Robi1! Helped clear up my questions
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Well my temp dropped today so I'm guessing I'm out. I said I wasn't getting my hopes up but sometimes you just can't help it. Super bummed.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We had a destination wedding and our honeymoon in Mexico. The wedding photographer "lost" all of our photos so the resort gave us a free trip to go back within the next two years. Free trips are cool, I guess. But I would much rather have my wedding photos. We have NO good wedding pictures. Not even one.
Testing plans: I will likely cave and test over the weekend at 9 or 10 DPO
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I am not sold on my O date according to FF, as my temperatures are crazy this month (damn alcohol!). But timing would be good either way, we had EOD sex before/after O.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We went to Jamaica to a Sandals and it was glorious (the first time around). We went back to the same place a few years after, and it was not as awesome
Also, all of you ladies have been great, but I think that if this month is a bust we will be taking a little break from TTC before I pursue any testing. The stress is overwhelming, and starting to bum me out! So FX for this month for all of us!
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: WTF cycle!! My chart was a disaster and temps pretty everywhere--but I still have CH's. This is my longest cycle EVER. I am sure I am out this month, so I just need AF to show up.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We went to Secrets in Jamaica and it was pretty great. I would love to go to Alaska, Ireland, and anywhere in Europe!
CD/DPO: 34/20? I'm starting to think I O'd much later than I thought. I honestly feel like I might be O'ing now.
Timing: Not even sure anymore! BD it EOD.
Testing plans: Going to wait until my EW CM stops.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Woke up in the middle of the night and got super sick in all the ways. 8-| Based off my temps and mucus, I think I'm O'ing AGAIN, or that I never did before. This has been a very strange cycle. I don't even know what to think of it!
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? We went on a cruise to the Caribbean! It was amazing! ^_^
Married 10/2010 TTC#1 Since 6/2014 BFP #1- 10/26/14
@Audrey1787 , thanks, I am really confident in my O date and my boobs were killing me yesterday and today I had the dip and my boobs aren't nearly as sore. I was worried that this could be the shortest LP ever, but I'll just keep temping and see what happens.
@lilsneezy, I would be SO mad if they lost my wedding pictures! I am so sorry! A free trip is nice, but, like you said, wedding pictures would have been better.
Testing plans: got a BFP yesterday at 12dpo. I had a massive dye bleed on a wondfo with fmu, and it only turned positive after the time limit so I wasn't convinced. I took another one last night and confirmed with a FRER.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I'm terrified. I've had 2 chemical pregnancies, neither of which made it past 5 weeks. I'm a little tired and have felt some twinges; nothing is consistent and its nothing that couldn't be chalked up to PMS, gas, etc.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? France. We went to the South of France and then to Paris. We love to travel.
CD/DPO: longest Cycle to date because of grief of putting a dog down. FF says 39/9 buy I think i Oed on cd 32 as my temp spike was taken later than normal in the morning on cd 31.
Timing: per FF O, - 1 - 4.... I think - 2,-3
Testing plans: maybe Saturday if my period hasn't shown up.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: just unsure of o date.
GTKY: Where did/would you go on your honeymoon/dream vacation? Couples resort in Jamaica. LOVE it! And loved it the second time we went back too!
