Testing Plans: huge temp drop today so I'm not testing anymore.
Rant/Rave/CS: had my first ttc emotional meltdown due to temp drop this morning and I still have to go to work. I can't help but feel that this was my fault for going in the jacuzzi while on the cruise. And I can't even go home and drink because I have to work until 11pm tonight and both of my jobs have busted ac and it is supposed to be 90 again today and I'm just over life right now.
Testing Plans: Already broke down yesterday and today and took cheapies....BFNs, of course. AF shows up at either 10 or 11 dpo EVERY month, so I'm going to try my hardest to hold out until 12 dpo.
Rant/Rave/CS: I had my annual exam yesterday at 8 dpo. Of course by the end of the day and this morning, I am spotting. I know it is more likely than not that it is from the exam, but all I can think about is: is it really from the exam? Is it spotting before AF? Ooooo what about implantation spotting? It's driving me freakin' insane. On top of that, I've had AF cramps since 6 dpo off and on throughout the day, and I don't usually get them until the day of or day before AF shows up. So that's a trip. I guess my real rant is no matter how much I tell myself not to SS, I can't help it and I hate it.
GTKY: what is your favorite food and is it something you make yourself? I love, love, love good BBQ. I'm not really experienced with the grill, but my Dad and my FIL are all amazing at the BBQ and I love when the cook!! (DH is pretty good at it too, but he tends to overcook meat...)

@marikkita12 Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but going in a hot tub shouldn't affect your ability to conceive. It can, however, have a negative effect on sperm, but if it was you that got in the hot tub, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Rant/Rave/CS: I ended up with O earlier than expected, so timing was a bit off. Or my temps were screwy from being away from home so we BD'd until I got crosshairs, I still think o may have O'd later
GTKY: what is your favorite food and is it something you make yourself? Pizza, or pasta and yes sometimes I make it myself. I like to cook though so I make a variety of things that are tasty

Testing Plans: You know, I was going to wait until after AF was due, but I think I've changed my mind. I'll test Tuesday (10 dpo) and then probably (obsessively) every day after that until I get a BFP or AF. I've got Wondfos left over from last cycle, so why not!?
Rant/Rave/CS: Work is hard today. But TGIMFF!
GTKY: what is your favorite food and is it something you make yourself? I love tacos. Like a lot. And it's Friday, so that means it's taco night!
Testing Plans: 13DPO. I will make this happen bc I'm not bringing any HPTs to the out of town wedding with me, and I leave on Thursday and don't get back until then.
R/R/CS: FF tells me my timing was 'good'. Every other month it was 'high'. Not that it means anything, obviously I didn't get PG every other month. But it still bothers me.
GTKY: I love pasta. Anything Italian will suit me fine.

June 2016 April Siggy Challenge: Reasons my kid is crying
Testing Plans: I was trying to hold out for 8 DPO (knowing that even that is crazy early)....but caved this morning after a sexy dream. Last time around that was my second symptom, after a bfp, that continued through the 1st tri. So weird but it didn't mean anything of course. Plan to test the next two days because of some festivities going on.
Rant/Rave/CS: I've enjoyed keeping an eye on the TWW threads, it's actually really encouraging to me to see bfp posts. I often run out of time and can't post myself but I'm going to try and keep up a bit better from here on out.
GTKY: what is your favorite food and is it something you make yourself? I really enjoy sweet potato black bean chili and this cauliflower chickpea side dish. I make them myself, but they aren't my recipes
Rant/Rave/CS: Rave: My best friend is coming to visit tomorrow and then next weekend is her bachelorette party that I am hosting! I'm trying so hard to keep my mind off of the TWW and just enjoy the moment. It's really hard though!
GTKY: what is your favorite food and is it something you make yourself?
My favorite food is dessert. But especially cheesecake. I've never tried to make it just because it's so much better when you can just enjoy it. Cheesecake Factory = ❤️

@hboaz We went on a cruise for our anniversary before FF had given me crosshairs. when we got back and FF updated itself, it gave me CH for the second day on the cruise. I went in the jacuzzi on the first day so I feel like I may have killed the sperm pool that we had been building up for the majority of the month and then there was nothing there for when the egg was released and then we went to the jacuzzi again. As you can see by my chart, my temps were all kind of crazy and the temp shift was subtle so I didn't realize that I could have potentially ovulated. That's why I feel it was my fault. My husband doesn't do pools so he hung out with me next to the jacuzzi but not in it.
Testing Plans: I totally caved this morning and now I'm just plain confused.
Rant/Rave/CS: Got two super faint positives today which is just crazy. I know it's not possible to get a positive test at 6dpo. I clearly ovulated sooner than FF said I did. I plan on retesting tomorrow morning with my last frer that's at home. Hoping that this is it!
GTKY: what is your favorite food and is it something you make yourself? I make a sweet spaghetti with spaghetti sauce, balsamic vinegar, onions, garlic, and brown sugar. I can eat it all day every day.

CD/DPO: cd36/ unsure (going to start temping again once AF shows up)
Timing: Not sure how to do the timing thing yet?
Testing Plans: tested 3 days ago, bfn then started provera that day to jumpstart AF
Rant/Rave/CS: I have been a crazy SS all day. Headaches for the last couple days along with bad bloating and severe nausea especially after eating or heavy lifting and sore BBs. I am chalking it all up to the provera and AF being on the way soon because of it but it is still hard not to SS
GTKY: what is your favorite food and is it something you make yourself? I don't particularly have a favorite per se, but DH and I really love this swiss cheese chicken I made that I found on pinterest. It is awesome!!

TKY: what is your favorite food and is it something you make yourself? Pizza and yes!
Testing Plans: tested today because of feeling weird even though I pretty much knew it would be negative. Plan on testing Monday at 10 DPO.... Although if I still feel this yucky tomorrow I may just test again.
Rant/Rave/CS: Holy SS Batman!!! I have been battling nausea all day with the strangest pelvic pain and soooo dizzy. I am guessing it could be hormone related because it's very similar to how I usually feel during ovulation but it's really making me crazy and feel weirdly optimistic despite our lack of sex during FW. I know it only takes once but..... Not holding my breath.
GTKY: what is your favorite food and is it something you make yourself? This is 100% impossible for me to answer. I love all food!!!! But if j had to pick a favorite food group it would be carbs. All the carbs for all the days. The end.
Testing Plans: yesterday afternoon was bfn. Womp womp.... Didn't expect any different though. Guess I'll keep testing till either I turn a test or AF arrives.
Rant/Rave/CS: I'm so frustrated. I know I ovulated late this month but no idea when. Dh and I didn't start actually ttc until the 1st. So honestly I haven't a clue if I made it to my fertile window or not.... Sigh. Next month I'll do better.
GTKY: what is your favorite food and is it something you make yourself? That's such a difficult choice.... Hmmm. Truffle mashed potatoes. OMG. There's a little European cafe in town that makes the most orgasmic food EVER and those potatoes are heavenly!!
