Re: TWW Wednesday

  • Month/Cycle: 4/4

    CD/DPO: 34/11

    Timing: -3, 0 

    Testing Plans:  Every day since DPO 7 because I can. BFN all those days. 

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I haven't had any symptoms this cycle. No real cramps. That and my temps are super low and not following any patterns from my last cycles. DPO 10 has always been my peak temp, not so far this cycle. Who knows what is happening 

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?  I am a little bit of both. I love a clean house, but keeping it clean isn't the easiest thing for me.

  • Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 31/14

    Timing: -5,-4,-3,-1,0

    Testing Plans: BFN on CD 28/DPO11. Figured I was out... Temps started to drop, but went back up today?! Tested this morning CD/31DPO14 and got another BFN!

    R/R/C: sooooo confused! Never had a cycle this long! Of course my first month temping its got to be wonky to make me even more confused!! Question.... I forgot, my test had blue dye... Is that the wrong one?

    GTKY: same as PP, I WANT and like things clean but it's hard for me to be consistent!

    Month/Cycle: 9/8

    CD/DPO: 23/6

    Timing: -7, -1, +1

    Testing Plans: Will try and wait until 12dpo at least or AF whichever comes first.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Nothing right now although another high temp today - yay!  

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?  I like stuff clean, I feel better when it is but it's hard to keep up with sometimes when DH and I work so much. (He gets off work at 3:30 everyday, he could do stuff to help he chooses not to - ongoing fight)

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I am learning that we have sex far less often when I don't initiate! Oh well, can't say I mind the break.

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?
    I am a clean person in a messy/lazy person's body. When I am home I'd rather be doing a million other things than cleaning/picking up! But I hate when it is messy...so I live in a perpetual state of discontent.

    We are the exact same way. DH is happy to have sex once a week, since the O day, we have done it once. Probably once more before we leave on Saturday for the cruise.

    Timing: ED

    Testing Plans: None

    R/R/CS: Well... my excitement about finally ovulating was short lived. I've started AF today, so I'm out for this month. Which sucks, because I was so super excited. But -- Fx for all you ladies!

    GTKY: I'm a... messy in a clean way, person. For the most part things are clean, but when I get overwhelmed, things get messy - but it looks fairly clean and I know where everything is.

    Testing Plans: 9dpo BFN, 10dpo BFN, 11dpo BFN, everyday until BFP or AF

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: feeling blah/sick still and I know it's still early but I feel out for this month and it's not a good combo with this cold I have.

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person? Im a clean person, DH is messy. Grrrr I'm always cleaning up his messes!
  • Haven't been around.... figured I would check in....

    Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0

    Testing Plans: BFN's all around.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I'm having some of the worst PMS of my life. I told DH this morning that I feel like i'm living in an alien body that isn't mine, but I have to use. I hate hate hate this. Not pregnant again this month? Well here's two weeks of living hell as a consolation prize. Enjoy.

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?  - Clean. Especially when i'm on my period. I clean EVERYTHING. DH knows not to mess with me at that time of the month, i'll clean every floor, every wall, etc.... it's my therapy.

    CD/DPO: 24/8

    Timing: -5, +1, -1

    Testing Plans: made a big mistake by testing early today.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I feel like I am already out. I have minor cramping today. Pity party for 1 today :(

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?

    My house is always clean but piles of paper always seem to find their way onto every surface. I always describe my life as organized, "organized chaos." I know where everything is, but sometimes it does not look that way.

  • Month/Cycle: 4/4

    CD/DPO: 20/6

    Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0

    Testing Plans: Getting close to the danger zone. Friday, I think.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: One of my first pregnancy symptoms last time was a killer headache and I had one last night, so of course I was like woot! But the last time I got a bad headache during the TWW it turned out to be walking pneumonia, so....

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person? Somewhere in between. I can't let things get too messy. Except for my desk at work, apparently. That's a disaster.

  • Month/Cycle: 5/5

    CD/DPO: 29/15

    Timing: -2 to +2

    Testing Plans: No more.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Temp dropped .5F, but still above cover line. I woke up to sharp cramps and spotting. I know I O'ed at CD14, and my LP is 12+-1 days. DH and I thought surely given the data this would be our month. Apparently not. Will move over to WTO if today becomes CD1. Hard day.

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person? I was messy growing up, but now I can't fully relax unless the house is picked up. Definitely clean now. DH, bless his heart, is a messy cook. No joke, dude was chopping cilantro and somehow got it on the ceiling. The 10 ft ceiling. That was a few years ago, and he's come a long way to just a semi-messy cook.
  • Month/Cycle: 2/2 charting

    CD/DPO: 20/8

    Timing: -3, -2, +1

    Testing Plans: I'm going away for the weekend, so I'll probably test Friday (DPO10) and if that's negative then I'll just wait for AF.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Mild cramps this morning, but I REFUSE to symptom spot!

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person? I'm pretty messy. I'm not going to deny it. However, I usually reach a breaking point when the clutter reaches a certain level and then I go into hardcore cleaning mode. That threshold is lower when I have something important to do, because cleaning house is a GREAT procrastination tool!

    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD/DPO:  23/8

    Timing: Good!

    Testing Plans: This weekend

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I'm still feeling all of nothing this cycle. No idea why that is.

    GTKY: I think I'm a clean person! Clutter drives me nuts and I will frequently go through the house and do a huge purge of random stuff. H is used to his old t-shirts disappearing lol

  • Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 28/8

    Timing: -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0

    Testing Plans: I already started. I hate getting my hopes up so I would rather see a BFN then live in a fairy tale land until I get my period and then be pissed. I am so at peace with my BFN. But would still like to see a BFP if possible.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Temp is still increasing!! :)

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person? I feel like I am a little of both. There chores that I hate like washing dishes and laundry, but I still get them done but not right that minute. And it doesn't help that my husband is a walk tornado.

    CD/DPO: 26/9

    Timing: -1 only

    Testing Plans: I'll probably test Friday or Saturday

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I keep saying I don't have much hope this month, but that's BS. Even though we only BD'd once during FW, I'm really hoping that that is all it takes this month. It's been a freakin' year, man!

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person? I used to be super messy when I lived alone (clean, but cluttered). I've gotten a lot better and am pretty clean and tidy, except my home office! I need a filing system!

  • BOH1025  my chart is looking good. This is the second highest temperature that I have ever had. Not trying to look into too much. And it's still too early to tell but I will still test everyday so I can not have my hopes up. I actually feel at ease knowing I'm not pregnant rather than thinking I am. How is your chart looking for yourself?

    CD/DPO: 20/8

    Timing: -2, 0, +2

    Testing Plans: I was trying to wait until I'm late, but I'll probably test at 10DPO this Friday. My willpower is low.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: DH is putting pressure on me. I know he doesn't mean to. It's not like he's going to blame me for not getting a BFP on the first cycle, but he keeps talking about all the plans he has for baby #2. It just worries me that he's going to take it badly if this isn't our cycle.

    GTKY: I'm so messy. I try not to be. I clean up trash of course. I just have a hard time throwing things away so my house is cluttered.
  • Month/Cycle: 16 but only 4/4 temping CD/DPO: 22/7 Timing: -3, -2, 0 Testing Plans: 12 dpo Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I am learning that we have sex far less often when I don't initiate! Oh well, can't say I mind the break. GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person? I am a clean person in a messy/lazy person's body. When I am home I'd rather be doing a million other things than cleaning/picking up! But I hate when it is messy...so I live in a perpetual state of discontent.

    ^^This!!! It's like you're in my brain, lol. I love things being perfectly organized and I have lots of great ideas for it, but I never want to follow through because I get sick of it and lazy! I like to say that I'm 80% OCD and 20% ADHD, haha.

    Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 22/9

    Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0

    Testing Plans: Waiting at least until tomorrow, but probably longer.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I had somehow convinced myself that this month was THE MONTH for no real reason other than that I just decided. Then this morning I went to the bathroom and saw some blood. Tried to tell myself that it could be implantation bleeding but not really believing it. Feeling super down and pissy because that also means that AF is early because I wasn't expecting her until Monday. SO ANNOYED!!!

  • Month/Cycle: 4/4

    CD/DPO: 20/4

    Timing: -4,-3,-2,0

    Testing Plans: 10 DPO

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: This is my first month temping and the last two days my DH has asked about my temp. I showed him FF today and he said "it went up again" that is good right. He is very courious about everything this cycle.

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?
    I am a little of both. I am clean as I sanitize, wipe down vacuum everything regularly. I just don't have everything put away all of the time. I wish I hand more time at home to organize as I feel so much better afterwards but I don't. So I do a little at a time. I am hoping to have a fully organized house by the new year. (We moved at the end of May)
  • hugs @crdo Ugh.  That feeling for CD1 is the pits.

    Timing: -3 thru +1

    Testing Plans: 13 dpo or 14 dpo (if AF doesn't arrive)

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I want to be hopeful but also find myself in this land of "don't get too excited" my temps are higher than normal, but really I'll only be happy if they stay here the next few days.  So the anxiety surrounding temping is reaching it's peak.

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?  Can I be a little of both?  I don't mind my own organized chaos.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: my crosshairs moved a day so instead of being 4dpo it says 3dpo. Not a huge deal because our timing was fine but I didn't expect to see that this am.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:  Started progesterone yesterday so hopefully AF will be here sooner rather than later.  I thought I might have ovulated but it's looking like an annovulatory cycle.  I'm just posting over here since there isn't a waiting for AF check-in lol!  

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?   I'd say I'm a clean person.  I can't stand clutter and generally feel so much better when my house is clean and chores are done.

  • Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 17/4

    Timing: -4, -3, -1, +2

    Testing Plans: This is my first month trying, so I'm going to attempt to wait until my period is late before testing. I just can't bring myself to spend money on a test when I could wait a few days longer. I'm sure that will change if I'm TTC for a while.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Technically my crosshairs aren't showing up yet unless I discard one of my temps, but if I put in another high temp for tomorrow they come back and are solid rather than dotted, so I'm confident I O'd on CD 13.

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person? Definitely a clean person. My husband and our roommate do not do their chores regularly and it is super annoying because I'm the only one bothered by it :(
  • Month/Cycle: 3/2

    CD/DPO: 24/11

    Timing:  0

    Testing Plans:  Still holding out for Saturday.  That's what my doctor told me to do and I'm such a rule follower, there will be no testing early for me lol.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:  Not much, just still really looking forward to testing.  Although, I realized this morning, I'm kind of nervous about it as well.  I was talking to my parents last night and I just love how supportive they are.  I feel very lucky.

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?  I am, for the most part, a clean person.  My apartment can get messy, especially during the week when I'm working.  But by "messy" I mean it can be cleaned up in about five minutes on Saturday morning.  My classroom stays super clean and organized, which with 25 second graders, can seem quite impossible sometimes.
  • ***Introduction***

    Hi all, I've been lurking for awhile and decided today to jump in. 

    Month/Cycle:3/3

    CD/DPO: 25/?

    Timing: ED/EOD

    Testing Plans: Waiting until Sunday when AF is due. 

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Excited to start posting. I've been lurking for awhile and this community has helped me learn alot. I appreciate all the information everyone has shared. I just got my Mabis and have only been temping a few days. I'm still working on my temp time. I've been getting up before my alarm because i'm so anxious that i'm going to miss the time. 

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person? I'm the same as the prior post. I'm a clean person in a lazy person's body. I like when it's clean but don't like to do it. After my DH and I do a good thorough cleaning we say we are going to keep it clean and tidy up every night. Hmph that doesn't seem to happen. 
  • BOH1025  your chart looks good to me. Nice high temps. I did a chart overlay and my temps start to go down CD 9 as well. I guess tomorrow we can try and make more sense of our charts. But FX for you. How long is your LP normally? My first month it was 9 and my second it was 11. I'm curious what this month will be like.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:  For some reason this TWW is killing me! Its just dragging.  I need to distract myself somehow so I think I am going to start reading a new book!  I keep symptom spotting even though I KNOW I can't have any symptoms at 5 DPO :)

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?  I love a beautiful clean house.  It gives me so much peace. However, this doesn't happen as much as I would like.

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?  I used to be a really messy person, but I've gotten better as I get older. Now I find myself enjoying finding creative ways to organize.

  • @raesmith9 my 1st month's chart was a royal disaster. I am a mouth breather and that did wonders for my chart. Ff said I did not o that month. I started temping vaginally and my chart looked a little better month 2. last month ff kept changing my o date, so my lp was either 9 or 11 days. This month my chart finally looks pretty normal with a good lp. We shall see!!! Hoping for high temps for us tomorrow!

    Testing Plans: ok so i wasn't going to buy any tests till next week but yesterday i was at walmart. so i reasoned with myself that it's foolish not to buy them while i'm here since i hate going to walmart i don't want to come back. i should really have DH hide them til the 30th cause i'm great at reasoning myself into things :)

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: justing waiting

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?  clean-ish i can usually stand DH's mess for about a week before i break down and clean during the weekend

    ****Question below*****

    @msdidonato- could you have O'd later?  can you attach your chart?

    @bubblegum5586- your LP can be anywhere from 12-16 days, so you unless you know that its always 14 DPO when AF arrives, you still have a day or 2 to go it looks like?? Also were you on BC and how long have you been off it? I don't know if that would have any effect on the LP though....

    @izza2- Sorry about AF! Try to do something that you have been wanting to do for a while, a bucket list item maybe or something that you couldn't do if you had gotten a BFP this month.  Hang in there!!

    @WinchestertoPittsburgh- I've been super emotional the last few days......yesterday was really bad.  I feel ya!!

    @BOH1025-  Sorry you are feeling out this month, me too.  I'm just not 100% confident in what was going on with my chart and timing and all that. Testing early is not my idea of fun, the not knowing is hard but I'd much rather get a BFP.

    @adiaz132003- FX for you!! Happy Anniversary! Enjoy your weekend!!

    @crdo- I'm sorry its not looking promising over your way.....big hugs to you.

    @ladeuce13- wow, I just saw how long you have been TTC.  I can totally understand why you'd be so hopeful for this month.  I'd totally love to hear more details about your journey, if you don't mind sharing.  How old are you? Why were you not temping before and what got you to start? I just really find it helpful to hear more about other people's journeys through this process so I don't get too excited about anything happening immediately.  This is month 5 for us and i've been 35 for a month.  If we don't get lucky this month, I'm going to get some blood tests done and I'm getting an ultrasound done on friday but that was really for something that has gone away.  I'm still going though because my insurance is getting ready to change on 10/1 and everything is going to cost me more after that. 

    @ladyoriza- I'm sure it is hard when you are both ready and anxious.  Hopefully he won't take it to hard!!

    @Talya H.- that's nice DH is interested in your charts.  i've attempted showing mine a few times, but I'm not sure he's overly interested just yet.  We moved in Dec/Jan of last year and we are still not 100% unpacked and organized!!  We've been really busy though!!

    @0face- I'm getting anxious too.....just kinda feeling out of it this month and don't want to get my hopes up.

    @bcooke314- personally getting a BFN does nothing for my moods so waiting for AF is better for me.  Everybodies different though.  Also, I've been fortunate enough that my temps have dropped pretty significantly the day AF has showed.....so I was somewhat expecting AF after that. 



    Month/Cycle: 5/ 3rd month temping

    CD/DPO: 27/7

    Timing:  -3, -1, 0, +1

    Testing Plans:  Waiting....just waiting, unless of course temps stay high.  My question is about the LP and testing actually....It appears that my LP is short.  So that would mean I could get a BFP sooner than later correct?  I still will probably wait it out because I'm not confident in timing of any of it this cycle.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:  Feeling we are not in it this month......I would love it if we were, but in some ways I'm ok if we aren't. I am over the emotions though of being off of BC.  Feel like all of the emotions are magnified by 100.  and I'm missing one of my best friends.  She has a 3 week old, her 1st and going through the change of the relationship is a little tough.  The conversations have pretty much revolved around her.  And I get that.  I'm just being selfish.

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person?  Ugh, I hate to clean......and I TRY to be organized......I will clean though when needed but I'd so much more rather snuggle with my dog.  Not going to lie.

    **********So my question was if you have a short LP phase, like 11 days has been the average of the last 3 months, when would you think it appropriate to test if you were going to test earlier?? Implantation would happen earlier in a short LP right?? Just want to make sure I know what I'm talking about....I really do not plan to test, but out of curiosity.

    ***Edited to add FF is different.  I noticed some discussion about this yesterday but didn't have a chance to comment.  I didn't notice it until today though anyways and after I read yesterday's posts about it. It looks like the biggest difference is that it doesn't say your CD and DPO at the top of the screen anymore, just on the calendar.  Also, there was  thing about them wanting me to take a survey about my experience with the app.

    I have been off HBC for 6 months, TTC for 3 months and actively temping and charting 1 month. So because of that I have no previous charts to look at to have any idea how long my LP is! I have been consistently 28/29 day cycles for as long as I can remember! Being at CD31 is what is really throwing me off! I was ready for AF with my BFN on CD 28. My temp started to drop (not below CL), but went back up this morning so I tested again.. BFN

    I'm frustrated that my cycle is longer on this first month of temping. So I have no idea if I O'd later then usual or if maybe I am pregnant but too early to turn a test. I have no idea of my LP. And honestly not even 100% sure when I O'd! FF switches between CD 17 and CD 20 just by taking out water CM on day 15... So I am saying I am 14DPO but maybe I am only 11DPO? Is that still too early to turn a test? Everyone on here seems to have their BFP on 9DPO-12DPO.

    Add in I have UC (Ulcerative Colitis) so sometimes I think I have menstrual cramps coming on but it is just my UC!

    Ahhh that was all mostly me venting about how confused I am!

  • Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 3

    Timing: -2, 0

    Testing Plans: 15 dpo (or 10 dpo when I usually cave)

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I had a couple nights of being woken up by my sick kiddo, so I have open circles.  Naturally, those happened right at O time.  If I change day 14's temp to my regular pre-O temps (around 97.7), I get CH.  If I put my actual, sleep deprived high temp in, CH go away.  I'm keeping my fake low temp though, because I'm pretty sure, probably, maybe. Within a day or so, anyway.  I rarely get above 98.0 pre-O.

    GTKY: Are you a clean or messy person? I'm a lazy person.  I tend not to dust or vacuum, or even really notice dirt.  But I would never ever let mold grow on dishes in my sink, for example.  So I'm in between somewhere.  My house is generally clean, but disorganized.  I tend to collect too much stuff.
