Timing: -4, O

Testing plans:  I got a bfp yesterday with fmu and again at 5pm with a stronger line.  I just tested again with fmu and the line is lighter. My back is also hurting in a pms-y way. I don't expect this to end well.   

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: nah

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: May.  It seemed like a great month weather-wise

Cycle/Month: 6
CD/DPO: 31/7
Timing: -4, -1, O
Testing plans: Not sure
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I started bleeding this morning- waiting to see if this is AF or if it will stop after a few hours like last month. Blah. Come on body, get your shit together.
GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: July- we were married in Maine and really wanted a summer wedding. 

pippacricket

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 26/5

Timing: -5, -1

Testing plans: July 16th (12 dpo)

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Has anyone experienced ovulation pains more than a few days after ovulation? I've felt a mild cramping on one side of my lower abdomen for the past few days that I thought was ovulation pain. In the past few cycles, I usually only felt this the day after O. If this is something new my body has decided to start doing, I am not a fan. It also intensifies after I pee so I'm nervous that if it's not ovulation pains, it might be a UTI (although I have no other symptoms like burning or blood). 

Tl;dr I have pains on one side of my abdomen. Not sure if it's O pains or UTI. 

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: We married in August. I was still in college when I got married so unless we didn't want to go on a honeymoon right after we married, that pretty much left us with the summer months to choose from. I also really liked that August was the month between our birthdays (he's a July baby, I'm September). Cheesy I know  

7DeadlyZins

I'm sorry @pinkroses53. FX.

pippacricket

Oh no @PinkRoses53‌! FX for darker lines. 

Congrats on your first CH @itshumpday‌! 

@7DeadlyZins‌ - FX it's not AF.

luvbunny

FX for you @PinkRoses53‌!

Cycle/Month: 1/2

CD/DPO: 25/13

Timing: -2, +1

Testing plans: BFN for the 4th day in a row. Just waiting for AF to start at this point.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Finally got my BBT thermometer in last week, started temping and my numbers are all over the place. Hoping I get this down better for next cycle.

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: we were married in June b/c if the nice spring weather.

itshumpday

@pippacricket‌ I get O pains. I had them for 2 days... Started the night before O and ended the morning after O. I read that if lasts more than 48 hours then it's not normal. Mine was left side also this month.

luvbunny

@ashleyinva‌ I symptom spotted all this cycle (def rode the crazy train for most of my first cycle TTC) and I've decided it's not worth the disappointment it causes with a bfn. Now hopefully I can stick to it next cycle, haha

nittanyllama

@pinkroses53 I will be thinking of you, I hope you get to update us later with good news.

@7deadlyzins I hope it's not AF or that AF holds out a few more days! I've had similar early bleeding and short LPs, it sucks

@pippacricket Is it more of a cramp than a pinch? When I have a cyst on an ovary I get a pinch on one side that gets worse when I go to the bathroom. But who knows, I'd keep an eye out for UTI symptoms too. 

@luvbunny sorry for the BFNs

Cycle/Month: 7/8

CD/DPO: 26/7

Timing: -3 and -1

Testing plans: 9-10dpo

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: One very sore boob, but that's somewhat normal.

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: We got married in October -- outside in the Poconos and the trees were so pretty but the weather was warm. October is our lucky month: bought a house October 2009, married October 2010, DS born October 2011.

PinkRoses53

Sorry if this is a dumb question but should I call my dr?  This never happened with my son and if this is going to be a chemical, I just want to know    This is what I get for getting excited last night.  I even bought my son a Big Brother book to tell my H the news last night 

mosdub

@nittanyllama I have the one-sore-boob thing going on too.

@pinkroses53  I'm sorry - I'm hoping for the best for you. 

@ HEY - Is there a way to tag without writing every screen name out?  I feel like there should be a faster way but I can't figure it out. 

~~~~~~~~~

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 20/5

Timing: Goooood.  I just peeked at the newbie blog and saw the chances of conception charts and I felt discouraged.  I hit -1 and O which I thought would be the best days.  Not necessarily, it seems! 

Testing plans:  No solid plan, want to wait until 12 or 13 dpo.  

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms:  My chart dipped slightly today - not something I should worry about considering I woke up 1 hr before my normal time and temped anyway.  Still makes me frustrated to see that dip.  Grr!  I'm also feeling less hopeful than last cycle for whatever reason.  I think it's funny all the times where I was paranoid about being pregnant (when really there was no good reason to be paranoid, we always used protection) only to find out you can have unprotected sex all the time and nothing happens anyway!  (Wait, teenagers, don't read that last sentence, it doesn't apply to you)

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?:  We married in August - that's usually the warmest month in our area and our wedding/reception was outside, but of course our wedding day was COLD!  I didn't notice it at all, but guests did! 

 

Bee1112

So sorry @linny1012‌. Big hugs. Enjoy your day off and painting class, that sounds fun.

3houlagirl

@PinkRoses53‌ I have fingers and all my other appendages crossed for you!
@itshumpday‌ Yay crosshairs! I just got my first crosshairs a few days ago, and now I'm paranoid FF will take them away again.

Cycle/month: 1/3

CD/DPO: 51/5

Timing: O, +2

Testing plans: not until something (or nothing) happens.

Rants/raves/chartstalks/symptoms: my temp dipped a bit this morning. Not below coverline, but pretty close. I am SO over this long, jacked-up cycle.

GTKY: We got married in May. We both have summer birthdays, and May was the only warm month that we didn't have a celebration in. Now we kick off summer with our anniversary!

PS: my phone auto corrects "chartstalks" to "charlatans".

itshumpday

@linny1012  I'm really sorry for your day today I hope the painting class helps (friends always help). internet hugs your way

@pinkroses53 fx for you.  I hope everything is ok!

@kariann12 have you tried temping later in the day? usually mine is way different later once I'm up and moving.  

@luvbunny Hoping you get answers soon! 

nittanyllama

Hugs @linny1012

MamaBina

@ashleyinva  I symptom spot like crazy. I literally pay cannot help myself but to pay attention to every stupid little thing. It sucks.

@pippacricket  I have the weirdest ovulation pains? Mine are all over the place. Its so annoying.

Cycle/Month: 13/6

CD/DPO: 23/2

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

Testing plans: Holding out until 10DPO if I can!

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: My stomach hurts. But I think thats from pizza and not pregnancy. 

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: May! I love May! Its the start of summer and going to the beach. 

nannabee21

Lurking.. Big hugs @linny1012‌

hydrangea1019

Sorry for any and all BFNs today.
@pippacricket‌ thanks for starting us off this morning
@PinkRoses53‌ FX for you! So sorry about the lighter line this morning
@itshumpday‌ yay for CH!!
@7DeadlyZins‌ sorry for the bleeding that started FX it'll stop and it's not AF already.
@linny1012‌ your massage and painting class sound fun. Take care of yourself today. So sorry!!

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: 28/12

Timing: bad according to FF

Testing plans: BFN this morning.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: well I had planned on not really testing too much this cycle because our timing was way off. However, my temp was falling the last two days and dark brown spotting started so I figured my period was coming. Then this morning my temp jumped back up. The only thing keeping one foot on the platform and not fully onboard the crazy train is the BFN this morning... Chart link below for welcomed stalkers

https://fertilityfriend.com/home/4dd7df

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?:
Prior to getting married I wanted a November wedding. We got married in July lol. I always wanted November because of it being Fall and the cooler weather starts. But we married in July, the dead of summer, because that's the way timing worked out

epidemic

Been on a vacation for a week, so I thought I'd jump back on here. FF gives me CH tomorrow with A dummy high temp, so we rocked our timing!

Cycle/Month: 7

CD/DPO: 17/2

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

Testing plans: FF test day 21st 

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Not sure what is up with my temp today. Has anyone ever used their BBT back to back and gotten different results? We traveled back yesterday (10 hour drive baby!) and had a late dinner and a drink. I wonder if that lowered my temp a bit? I tried verifying vaginally (which confirmed a temp above CL). 

 GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: January the first small wedding, because of the military and needing to match our orders. October for the big shebang, because I love the fall, and there weren't any existing family celebrations that month. :-) 

chemgirlstl

Cycle/Month: 7/8 

CD/DPO: 27/10

Timing: high

Testing plans: Negative this am.  Boo.  

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: My cycle has gone triphasic for the first time ever - so I'm hoping that means something but I'm being pessimistic and blaming that on it being my first cycle after the CP.  I'm so confused this cycle.  I have the feeling I'm pregnant but the tests say no so far but it's early but my chart is different than the prior 4 cycles I've charted......ugh.  

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?:We married in May.  I'd do it again that month in a heartbeat.  October would be my second choice.  

epidemic

@CForman719‌ Sorry for the BFN. Hoping it's just too early.. 

@3houlagirl‌ LOL for autocorrect. 

@linny1012‌ I'm so sorry. I hope you are able to take some you time today and find a little comfort. 

@mosdub‌ I laughed at your comment about sex. I told my husband that the other day, and he said we would never share that info with our children. LOL. But really, I don't think I'll ever bother with the pill again. I've enjoyed learning so much about my body, as for tagging, are you mobile? If I hit the paper with the sideways V brackets, it turns my box yellow. Then, I can hit the @ and start typing names and it drops a suggestion list. It's not great, but better than me trying to remember names. :-) just don't forget to hit the button again and fix format before posting...which I usually forget every time. 

@PinkRoses53 IDK if you should call your doc, but if it makes you feel better, I personally would. I'm sorry about your lines. Hoping you can find some time to relax and maybe test again later or tomorrow morning.

raelynn71109

::lurking::

@pinkroses53 Try not to stress over one lighter line. Some tests just have less dye than others. Call your doctor if you start spotting. But otherwise, remember, a line is a line. Congrats!

@linny1012‌ Big ((hugs)) to you today!

epidemic

@linny1012‌ it's maddening that they would be different back-to-back. Sometimes I catch myself not holding the thermometer snugly against the bottom of my mouth so I try to be sure I'm doing it the second go to ensure I don't mess it up. I didn't know vag temps were consistently higher, but maybe I'll switch over for my next cycle. Thanks for the advice! I know we've all asked this before, but what brand BBT do folks use? I have the ReliOn from wal mart..

holliberry28

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: Good, I think, unless FF gave me too early of an O date?

Testing plans: I'll try to wait til 11 DPO, which would be Saturday, 7/12.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I have non-stop continuous cramps for the past 3 days.  If this is my body's way of fucking with my head, thanks

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: Got Married in May because of the nice weather and cheaper prices than summer months.

holliberry28

@PinkRoses53, FX for a darker line!!

@itshumpday, Congrats on your first CH!

@7DeadlyZins, hope your body makes up its mind and stops messing with you!

@pippacricket, thanks for starting! I've been feeling the same thing as you but its more centralized (my uterus is expanding haha) and not just on one side.

@luvbunny and @Cforman71, sorry for the BFN

@ashleyinva, hope you stay strong til 11 DPO haha, I'm having the same problem.  Doesn't help that DH is curious too! We all had plans for our wedding that didn't always pan out, so don't feel bad! We got married at a Harbour Club to take pics on the water, and forgot to.

@kariann12, FX for testing on Friday.  I have the Nexcare which has been so far, so good.

@mosdub, sounds like you still had good timing! Good luck!

@linny1012, the massage and painting sounds great! Take care of yourself.  I hope you get some great news very soon.  Sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

@3houlagirl, sorry for the long cycle! Hope you get some answers soon!

@chemgirlstl, sry for the BFN, hopefully it's still too early!

LisaG09

@PinkRoses53 FX for you!

@linny1012 Big ((hugs)) to you. I'm so glad you took some time for yourself today.

Cycle/Month: 2AL/6 months total

CD/DPO: 29/9

Timing: -3, -2, -1, +1

Testing plans: I got my third BFN in a row today. However, I hadn't planned to start testing until 10 DPO so can we just pretend like I'm going to start testing tomorrow?

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: No symptoms for me which I take as a good thing. The only symptom I had with my first pregnancy was no period. Also, small rant. The first test I took this morning was defective. Neither line showed up. I hate that.

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: We haven't decided.

IrisPetals

Cycle/Month:  3/3

CD/DPO:  19/5

Timing:  -3, -2, -1, O

Testing plans:  Trying to hold out til AF

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms:  My chart is confusing the fuck outta me.  DPO 3 & 4 I had temp drops, which I read could be fallback rise, and now today it's back up.  My shifts have been clear enough that FF is still keeping my O date the same - all my other symptoms & opks correlate with the O date too.  It's just fucking weird.  I know one chart is not enough to go on, & I know I need to look for the overall pattern.  So I'm not over-analyzing it, just wondering why I had those drops.

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?:  Got married this past Feb.  We kept postponing our dates due to finances & other issues.  When we finally picked our date, it just felt right.  The sound of it is music to my ear - 2/14/2014.  And b/c we previously had some relationship issues, we wanted to celebrate it as a day of love for us.  It is the hallmark day of love afterall, why not personalize it?  Totally cheezy but whatever.

luvbunny

Oh @LisaG09‌, that BFN sucks. I'm on day 4 in a row... I feel that bite right along side you!

LisaG09

@luvbunny I know it, the price I pay for testing early. Maybe we'll both get lucky tomorrow! FX. I'm not giving up hope yet. I still think testing early is worth it. I want to know as soon as I can know. Good luck tomorrow!

LtColumbo

Cycle/Month: 6 (I kept saying 7 everywhere all cycle but it's really 6)

CD/DPO: 21 / 6

Timing: "good" -2, -1

Testing plans: keeps changing but probably 10

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: my temp went back up today, so it's all good. I read on FF that a dip around 4-5 dpo could be "fallback temp" and is totally normal.

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: April.. made the most sense for us at the time, and it was great all around

-----------

@PinkRoses53 FX, were the tests from the same box? Could be just different amounts of dye as PP said. 

@linny1012 - hugs, good plan to take your well deserved "me" time today

cateyes543

Cycle/Month: 7/8

 

CD/DPO: 33/13

 

Timing: -4,-3,-1

 

Testing plans: none now (did one a few days ago-BFN)

 

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Temp dropped below cover. Now if CD 1 could just come so we can start again!

 

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: We got married in September for 2 reasons. First I wanted a fall wedding for weather reasons. Second the only other date available at our church was the same one my brother was getting married on (different church) so for obvious reasons we picked the September one.

 

@pinkroses53-Sorry to hear lines aren’t getting darker L FX it was a fluke this morning

@7deadlyzins-FX your body gets herself in check!

@pippacricket-I have no experience with O pains but hoping for you it is not a UTI!

@luvbunny-sorry about the string of BFNs, fx your temps even out next cycle!

@linny1012-I am so sorry about today. I wish we could surround you with hugs today!

@CForman719-sorry about the BFN, even when you expect it, it still sucks!

@epidemic-I use mabis. It is probably the most used here on the board.   

babynica

Cycle/Month: 7 (5 AL). 1st month charting

CD/DPO: 21/4

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

Testing plans: I'm thinking Tues (10 dpo) but I might chicken out

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I got my first CH yesterday and acted like I got a BFP. Of course H thinks I'm crazypants. Also, I'm on day 3 of a migraine that only a double-dose of Imitrex is letting come up for air. Not really a symptom but eh

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: December. Texas winters are perfect weather. It was 65 degrees and beautiful

Edit: missing words

lilsneezy

Cycle/Month: 11

CD/DPO: 28/14

Timing: High

Testing plans: None

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I just started spotting so I should be starting CD1 sometime today. This is the earliest I ovulated and the shortest my LP has ever been. Thanks for messing up my stats, body. I can't decide if I want to try for one more month or make an appointment with an RE.

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: Got married in June. It was the first weekend after I graduated college.

LtColumbo

@Noellle - do you want to link your chart ?

penelopec518

Cycle/Month:  12

CD/DPO:  23/6

Timing:  Good

Testing plans:  I will likely start testing this weekend, even though my logical side says that I should wait until after AF is expected.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms:  I about threw up in the shower today, that was fun, sore boobs, and decreased appetite. Apparently these are all my new PMS symptoms though, so the nausea is nothing to get excited about.

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?:  May, we got married on the day we met two years prior. Also, on a side note, is it weird that I know the exact date we met? Please say there is someone else out there that randomly knows this.

LtColumbo

omg I am trying to hug @lilsneezy and it won't let me!

lilsneezy

@LtColumbo‌ Haha, thanks! TB doesn't want me to get any love.

@penelopec518‌ That's sweet. I know the exact date I met my husband too

Ladymouse

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 25/3?

Timing:  Not good.  -3

Testing plans: 15th is when AF is due.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms:  I hope this stomach bug/plague didn't hurt my chances.  Also hoping for 10+ DPO.

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?:  May.  DH wanted to get married in my hometown, and it is one of two months that typically has decent weather.

JNCPro3130

linny1012, I am so sorry for your loss.  I'm thinking about you today.  I'm glad you're taking some time for you today.

@pinkroses53, FX that the line gets darker!

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 25/9

Timing: Good

Testing plans: 7/14 @ 14 dpo (getting really hard to stick to that date)

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Not much going on.  I have a TON of CM.  That may be normal for me, but I can't remember.  I charted for 4 cycles before this, but I typically don't chart CM after I O because I would get dotted CH and it irritates me.  I feel ok though (no "symptoms" or anything).

GTKY - In which month did you/would you marry and why?: We got married on July 4th.  We always have fireworks on our anniversary!  DH jokes that he won't forget our anniversary.
