Month/Cycle: 3/1

CD/DPO: 22/8

Timing: -3, -1, +1

Testing Plans: I'll try to wait for AF, but might cave before then and test on Friday (12 DPO)

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: had a big temp drop yesterday and was cramping and bloated yesterday. Irrational brain: implantation! Rational brain: could be anything, don't get your hopes up! Today my temp is close to yesterday, so NOT an implantation dip. Trying to keep irrational symptom spotting in check!

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date?

We had an unofficial first date. We were camping with a bunch of mutual friends and ended up walking through the woods, talking and getting to know each other all night. We laid in the hammock in the morning and cuddled, and he told me later that he really wanted to kiss me but was afraid to! After essentially a 24 hour "date" I was completely smitten. On our second date he finally kissed me :x

ETA: forgot to post my chart. See below on the thread.

Month/cycle: 1/1 

CD/DPO: 22/5 

Timing: -4, -2, -1 

Testing plans: trying to wait until 14 DPO but at least 10 DPO (I have a POAS problem:) 

S/R/R/CS: still thrilled to be in 2ww. I have PCOS and was really worried I wouldn't O at all. 

GTKY: Ha! We had coffee at Starbucks and talked. That was supposed to be the extent of it (we met online so it was more of a meet and greet to make sure he wasn't psycho). But we hit it off so then we went to Taco Bell. So fancy. It was kind of a relief not to be wined and dined and to be real. 

 ETA: words are hard

Month/Cycle: Month 3, Cycle 2

CD/DPO: CD 19 / DPO 1

Timing: -5, -4, -1 (x2), O, +1 (being off BCPs makes me frisky. I have been missing out all this time!)

Testing Plans: No plans right now.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I've got some heartburn this morning, but it has nada to do with my cycle. It's just annoying and making my one cup of coffee not quite as good. Burping coffee is the worst ever.

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? Well, we dated twice.  The first time we dated, he took me to Cheesecake Factory and then we walked around the mall and made out in the car.  We had been besties for a long time.  I had to kiss him first, he was too scared.  The second (final) time we dated, I don't remember.  We just started hanging out again and then one night I kissed him first (again).  We were in the car (again).

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 18/7

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Testing Plans: Holding out till Saturday. Going out with some friends that day and need to know if I'm going to go on rides/drink.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Cramping still, but again indigestion. Didn't get to temp today... See below.

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date?
We met at Denny's with a bunch of mutual friends. Our first real date we went to the beach and he tried to show off his surfing skills.

Note from above... It's been raining, thundering, and lightening all night at my house and it's been raining like this for a week now. So between that and the dog freaking out about it - zero sleep. That and my pool now looks like a pond, I woke up to my back porch covered in an inch of water, water half way up my driveway, and I'm working from home today bc my street and the roads leading out of my neighborhood are flooded out and not drivable. It's still raining and not stopping any time soon so I'm realllly hoping my house doesn't end up flooding today. Good thing I have flood insurance I guess

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 34/16 

Timing: -2, -1, 0, +1

Testing Plans: Tested this past Friday... negative. So I'm now just waiting for AF to show up and start all over again with a new cycle. 

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I'm new to charting so July was the first entry. This morning FF showed the cross lines that I O'd possibly this past Thursday... not sure if I really believe it, but who knows. I'm hoping that as more temps and symptoms are entered, I'll get a better idea of what's going on with my body. 

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? 

DH took me to dinner - an Italian restaurant. We were in college when we met so I think the random meetings at his fraternity house don't count... we spent about a month hanging out / meeting up before he actually took me out on a real date. 

Edit: trying to count and do math before coffee is never a good idea - happy Monday

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: 19/4

Timing: -6, -5, -4, -3, -1, +1

Testing Plans: Waiting until at least 10 dpo...trying to hold off longer.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk:

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? DH took me out to eat at a fancy schmancy Italian restaurant and then we went to a comedy club.  It was amazing.

Month/Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 36/9

Timing: AI on -3 -1 0

Testing Plans:
Next weekend. I have a poas addiction since this is my first tww. I tried yest and it was bfn (not a shock ). I convinced myself that since ff couldn't tell, it might have been sooner lol. I was disappointed even though I thought I wouldn't be since it was way too early. I'm waiting! !

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk:
Symptom spotting like a crazy newbie, but the hpt said bfn so I have no reason. I have been nauseous for days and threw up yest. I am so irritated with my bbt. I know it is bc of the thermometer for sure. I woke up sweating and got the same low temp I seem to get all the time. I tried immediately after and it was more accurate. I am just sad I can't tell anything from my chart bc of it. Ughhhh I attached it so y'all can chart stalk and be confused with me lol

GTKY. What did you do with DH/SO on your first date?
Unfortunately, I was not "out" yet and we lived in a very small town, so we didn't officially have one. We didn't go on many for a long time. But we have been together almost 7 years now, so it is ok!

CocoBellaF

@meg032085 - Friday would have only been DPO 11.  Unless you have impending AF symptoms (cramping, spotting, etc.) then you are still in.  You're really still in until AF starts.

itsmehere1212

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 23/15

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

Testing Plans: hoping to hold out still, been doing pretty well. FF is recommending Friday. So then, at the earliest. I'm still iffy if I actually o'd then. I don't want to be using my good tests when I just like poas. I should keep some cheapies around for that.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: temp spiked this morning and I've been having cramping, but I think that's from eating a lot.

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date?
@CocoBellaF dh and I did the same. We dated twice but I really don't remember the first time around. Second time was out if the blue he called me and we went out for drinks at a Mexican restaurant. We decided to keep it going after that.

styler91

Month/Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 35 / 8dpo

Timing: -2,-1

Testing Plans:  trying to hold off until CD10, or 14 to test....

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: my nips have been sensitive lately, but I usually get sore nips when AF is on her way. my smell is off - I made a smoothie, and it was mango/blueberry - but smelled like rotten cheese and mothballs... YUCK! my DH said it smelled fine... so its all in my head. I've been a little grumpy/moody lately as well, but that's also a sign of AF coming. no cramps or anything yet though.

FF says I shouldn't test until 19dpo - but, I can't hold out that long... I plan on testing this week.... I went and bought my tests this weekend.  

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date?

Well, our first official date was kind of a mistake. I invited him to go Ice-skating with me and a few other people. But ALL the other people bailed right before we were supposed to meet at the rink... so I ended up meeting him there, and we skated (more like I skated and he floundered around on the ice/wall). then we went out for coffee afterwards. 

He thought I set it up - "asked him to go out with friends, then I was the only one who showed up".... I tried to explain everyone else bailed, but he didn't believe me.. 

Our next date, he planned - we went rock wall climbing, then out for dinner and ice-cream.  

MEA0320

@CocoBellaF - ugh I just noticed I made a type-o... today is DPO 16 (more coffee is needed). Had cramping and random light spotting all of last week... But my cycles have always been a little all over the place which is why I started charting. So I have hope that I'm still in it, but also trying to keep my feet on the ground. Thanks for the feedback and encouragement!

M/C: 2

CD/DPO: 25/5 or 7 (ff keeps switching back and forth every damn day)

Timing: either -4, -3, -2 or -4, -2, -1, O

Testing plans: Not til I think af is late

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: My stupid wonky sleep habits and bad thermometer are pissing me off. I will be getting a new thermometer if this cycle doesn't take. Not much I can do about the sleep though.

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? 

We went to Pizza Hut and got Hawaiian pizza

We were 19 and very poor, lol

Month/Cycle: 3/4 CD/DPO: 26/5 Timing: Looks pretty good...-5, -3, -1 & 0 Testing Plans: Im going to try and wait it out until at least 10 DPO so that puts me at Saturday, although I would like to wait until Monday but I don't know if I'll have the will power lol. Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: So excited that FF finally showed that I ovulated after I put in my temp this morning, Yay!! GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? We went to this large concert called Anaphora Festival where there were a lot of bands playing in an outside forum. It was really fun and we were only 17 years old so it was a pretty nice/cool date considering our age and lack of money lol.

Month/Cycle:3/2

CD/DPO: 11 or 7

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing Plans: BFN today :-S

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Thinking about waiting until Thursday to test again. That BFN hit me like a ton of bricks this morning.

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date?

We were friends that really liked each other before we started dating, but what changed everything was the night he came to a party at my house. After everyone else left he stayed in my room and we did nothing but talk until 7am. After that we hung out a few more times before he kissed me and said "well now that's out of the way, can I take you on a proper date?" So he took me to this gorgeous Italian restaraunt and then we went back to my apartment and watched movies.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: FF predicts AF for Saturday so just trying to remain optimistic. Meh.

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? I don't really remember an official first date. We'd known each other for years and dated long distance for a while.

*****LOVING ALL THESE FIRST DATES STORIES!!!******  

Month/Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 25 / 11 (I think, I am starting to chart next month)

Timing: -5; -3; +1 (we are pretty much out this month ) Darn work, and the -3 - I don't even want to talk about it.  Apparently DH forgot we were trying to conceive!

Testing Plans: DId one yesterday morning, 5am (BFN)

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: AF symptoms - and DH mentioned yesterday that maybe I was preggers since I was tired.  UGH, nope. 

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? 

Well we knew each other for about 2 years, and were both in serious relationships with other people for both those years. They both fizzled out about the same time, and we staring talking a lot more.  He told me he needed to test drive his car because he put a new part on it, so I agree to go to dinner with him in it.  (I thought it was too soon for both of us, and we were moving to different cities).  We ended up going to dinner an hour away, having great conversation the entire time there and back.  About 5 mins from my house on the way home, he decided to go grab a beer at a local bar.   Had our first kiss there (I was shocked - he did it in front of other people!).  Then we made out (I swear that's it!) until 6am the next morning.  Our 12 hour first date.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: CD 32/14

Timing: - 5, - 2, 0

Testing Plans: tested yesterday afternoon because DH hid my tests. BFN. Anyone use Clinical Guard Internet cheapies?

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk:
Chart attached. Going to test again tomorrow if AF or a temp drop doesn't show.

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? We went to a club I think. Of course the night we met we spent 10 or so hours together and I slept with him. Although I actually mean slept in his arms and then had to go to work. That was 2 days before our first date.

CD/DPO: 24/1

Timing: -4 and -3

Testing Plans: I'm going to try to hold out until 14DPO

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I just couldn't get the energy to BD more with DH. By the time I got into bed, I just wanted to sleep. 

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? We went bowling with a couple of friends. I had way too much to drink. We all went back to my place and I went upstairs and went to bed. I didn't say a word to anybody, i just got up and got into bed. I left everybody downstairs wondering what happened lol

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 22/8

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

Testing Plans: Unsure right now. I've been tempted all weekend but resisted knowing it would be too early. Realllly going to try and keep resisting until AF is late to the party. I leave Friday out of town until Monday, that may help the temptation!

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: My stomach has felt SO WEIRD all weekend. Kinda crampy. But it's not AF that's still a week away and I am never early. Never. (I know, you're normal until you're not....) probably just gas.

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date?

We went to this cool outside mall and had lunch, then to an awesome zoo. After we went to a park that overlooked the city, so pretty! After that he was a trooper and came as my dare to my best friends wedding dinner and to end the night we had cheesecake next to an outdoor fireplace. Love that man!

Timing: -2 - 1 +1 +2

Testing Plans: Waiting until missed period.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: so i was at an over night event the day of ovulation -.- but we did it the day before and morning after so hopefully that is good enough this cycle.

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? It was my sorority's date night we went to a sushi place and ice cream before going to watch a movie.

Testing Plans: Not until FF tells me to

S/R/R/CS: Big temp drop today. I hope AF doesn't come.

@BabyIntegers DH and my second date was a 10 day road trip to TN and NC!

jsassy

Month/Cycle: 18/16

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: -8, -6, -5, -4, -3, +2

Testing Plans: Its getting harder and harder every day, so I can't imagine waiting any longer than 10dpo this time.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I didn't sleep well last night. I woke up at 3am and thought I should take my temp before getting out of bed to pee. It was low.

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date?

We were 19 and went to the Hard Rock in La Jolla for dinner (its no longer there, so sad). Then we went to PB and found a bench on a cliff and watched boats with lights in the darkness. Then some making out. Then we went to Blockbuster and rented Fast and the Furious, took it back to his parents house to watch. More making out. The rest is history 

BabyIntegers

@CoachBeckyCooper Road trips are a blast! We take a month or two every year and road trip to see family, etc.

AL_TwinCities

@tennisbabymama yay cycle buddies! Man I hear you, it took all of my willpower not to test this morning. Trying now to wait until Fri. And @jsassy you are close to us too!

chicandbubbly

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 33/10

Timing: Every day except 0-3

Testing Plans: Monday unless I cave before then. AF is due in two days (weds)

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I went on vacation Friday and my temp had a huge dip (7dpo). I did take it an hour early but it was a huge drop. Went back up the next day and it has been pretty much the same temp for the last three days. Pretty weird. It is probably just the time change messing with things. Not really any "symptoms" besides sore boobs and that happens every month anyway. This morning I did randomly feel a wave of nausea and ran to the bathroom but I didn't get sick.

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? Technically our first date was lunch at our college cafeteria lol. We talked for hours.

JessicaJM2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 29/12

Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0

Testing Plans: can someone look at my chart? I want to test but am so nervous!

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: was bummed after a dip yesterday, but had a high temp today. I have no symptoms so I can't even be special and try to figure those out!

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? We are boring just went to dinner!

BabyIntegers

@JessicaJM2015 How long is your LP usually?

BabyIntegers

@AL_TwinCities Can't wait to see what your temps do. What's the note on your last open circle?

croshaus

Month/Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 23/4

Timing: I'm a noob so I'm not exactly sure what this means but if it is what I think it is, then all the days...

Testing Plans:  First thing on the 12th (AF is due on the 11th)

Symptoms: Very emotional, but that could be because I am just so in love with my maybe baby I can't freaking stand it.

GTKY:  Our first official date was dinner and a movie.  We had sandwiches (one of our favorite food groups lol), and saw a terrible Jodi Foster movie, then we talked on the phone all night.

blackgirlmagic

Lurking from WTO
@JessicaJM2015 I would so test tomorrow and FF says to test tomorrow as well!
@MegH128 idk how you have been able to hold out for so long!!! I would have poas by now unless your LP is normally this long.

JessicaJM2015

My LP is normally 12 days. I will probably test tomorrow but I'd rather get AF than a BFN so I'm trying to talk myself out of it!

indulgentgypsy

@BabyIntegers I could drive forever! We took a lot of road trips growing up, and they are still my favorite way to travel

I love hearing all these stories about how everyone met their DH.

I'll add another little "woo woo" creepy for me and DH. 2 years before we met we both lived in the same tourist town in TN. We saw each other on the street many times but never stopped to talk or meet or anything. We met at an all night diner in our home town 2 years later. I remembered DH as the very handsome black man with long dreads I would see on the street, he remembered my distinctive wolf's head necklace I always wore. It was sort of fate...

AL_TwinCities

@JessicaJM2015 girl I would totally test today. If you can wait until tomorrow, good for you!!

@BabyIntegers my MIL was staying with us last night and she got up at 2:30 am to start packing up to drive home. So I woke up at 2:30 but didn't temp cause I didn't get up, but then woke up again at 3:45 when she actually left (and my dogs started freaking out) and temped then. I typically temp at 4:30 am.

ArtlessIbex

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 26/12

Timing: -2, +1

Testing Plans: Tomorrow, if I don't get AF.  Truthfully though, I have cramps and suspect I'm out this month.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Temp keeps going up and up.  It was over 98.1 this morning (chart attached).

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date?  Went to a Mexican restaurant. 

IB113

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 24/3

Timing: -2, +1

Testing Plans: Just got off birth control pills, so I will probably wait until 18 DPO when FF recommends

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I was on birth control pills for ten years and although I *remember* having periods about every 30-34 days.... it has been a decade so I am entertaining my paranoia that I don't ovulate or won't regulate quickly.  So far, everything looks ok, but I did have a weird spike two days before I think I ovulated, so I have to wait and see where the temps go from here

GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date? Fancy cocktails at a fancy cocktail joint

Edit: to add my chart (if it works)

AEG84

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 25/12 (FF changed my O date back to original date this morning...)

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing Plans: I've been POAS daily since last week because I can't resist. Just cheapie tests, though - saving the FRER for Weds or Thurs.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: No major symptoms. A little nausea early this morning, but could be because I was up earlier than usual to coach a 5:30am class instead of just working out. Rant: we tried to go car shopping this weekend (we were looking for an older Honda Pilot) - no luck and now we're considering a Honda Odyssey and I am just NOT ready to be a minivan mom. DH is joking that I'll get knocked up as soon as we buy one.
 
GTKY: what did you do with DH/SO on your first date?  We went out for (he said) drinks. And he meant dinner and drinks. I had eaten already so it was super awkward because I didn't want to eat again. I didn't really feel sparks until the end of our second date (movie) when we finally kissed, but then it was on!
