    Month/cycle: 4/3

    CD/DPO: 40/8

    Timing: -3, -2, 0

    Testing plans: next week sometime. Leaning more towards waiting til AF is late, but I might change my mind.

    R/r/CS: temps are still on their way up! And my butt is super sore because I did 300 squats yesterday. Ouch.

    GTKY: I would pick my DH. I love spending time with him.

    ETA congrats @WinniethePoohsPants !

    FX/Congrats @Talya H.! IMO, a line is a line and I've hear blue dye tests are not as reliable?

    I would take another FRER tomorrow morning just to be sure. Actually, I'd probably run out to the store and buy every brand of pink dye tests there are and would be peeing on all of them.

    Month/Cycle: 9/12

    CD/DPO: 24/9

    Timing: -3,-2,-1,0,+1

    Testing Plans: I test on FRER and it was negative this morning.  Fertility Friend says AF is due today, but Glow says it's due tomorrow.  This is nerve-racking.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I am tired and forgetful.  Yesterday I kept leaving my phone all over the office and this morning I almost got on the wrong train.  My concentration span sucks.  Fingers crossed that my luteal phase will be longer this cycle.  Last night at a dinner party, someone said there was a 12 year gap between him and his sister.  A woman at the table asked "did anything happen in between?" and he asked confused "what do you mean?" and she said "Did your mother have any miscarriages?"  I was blown away.

    GTKY: If you could go on a road trip with one person (dead or alive) who would it be? My husband.

    @Tayla H. You might just not have enough HCG to trigger the digi. 11dpo is still early. I would try again tomorrow. Lines on a Wondfo and a FRER would be enough for me to call a BFP, though. Congrats!

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 24/11

    Timing: -4, -3, -1, +2

    Testing Plans: Trying to hold out until my period is due, but I'm getting really antsy. Only 4 more days. I can do it.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I've started symptom spotting, which I told myself I wouldn't do. I feel like I have a heightened sense of smell (which I noticed a few days before I remembered that is sometimes a pregnancy symptom so I'm not imagining it) but it could totally be from something else. Gah, I just want to know!

    GTKY: If you could go on a road trip with one person (dead or alive) who would it be?
    I couldn't handle a road trip with anyone other than immediate family (I went on one with my in-laws once and it was awful) so I would probably choose my husband.

    @mrsschmity I had DH pick up a 3 pack last night. I am going to test again in the morning! FX for you too your timing looks good!

    @chrlyr I agree this is very early and I think that is part of the reason for my uncertainty. I will definitely test again tomorrow. Thank you I didn't even think about the digital being a blue dye test.

    Month/Cycle:4/4

    CD/DPO: 16/ guessing about 3

    Timing: -2,-1

    Testing Plans: waiting until at least 10 dpo

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: ended up getting the flu the day I was thinking I would ovulate, so temperatures have been all over the map because I've had a fever and I have had zero energy/ desire to BD... So frustrating because we were doing so well for timing this month

    GTKY: If you could go on a road trip with one person (dead or alive) who would it be? My grandmother. I knew her when I was younger, but I would have appreciated time together when I was older to really get to know her. She was an amazing woman.

    @laurenm2123- I think your chart looks pretty accurate, I hate the waiting game of seeing what the next days temps bring!!

    @WinniethePoohPants- Congrats!! FX for you!!

    @severmilli12- Stay Strong!! Don't test yet!

    @mrsschmity- FX for you!!  I hope this is your month!!

    @KOR1219- my thoughts exactly on CM!!  Hopefully I'll get a better idea this month about all that.....last month I only had one day that I thought was anything significant.

    @hockeyfan42- you could take out the CP, especially if you have just started tracking that this month.  You could put what you thought it was in the notes section for each day and take it out of the actual CP box in the chart and see what happens.  I did that with CM this month because it was my first month checking on a regular basis and I really didn't see anything significant so I took left it out.

    @etrl52517- TWW is exhausting, I'm so glad that is over this month.....and mine was a crazy one......Things look pretty good on your chart though.  How long is your LP usually?


    @Talya H.- how long are your LP?  I'd maybe wait one more day before testing again, but I don't like BFNS.  Confusing though about what is going on to say the least....TWW is tough.....Hang in there!!

    Big congrats @WinnieThePoohsPants !! Love your gif, btw :)

    @Tayla H FX for you!


    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO:  27/ 10-12 (not sure)

    Timing: EOD then ED FW

    Testing Plans:  Tested yesterday with a huge big fat negative. Will probably test again Friday, AF due Saturday.  Expecting BFN... sigh.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:  I have zero symptoms of anything. I never have symptoms before AF either, so I'm just waiting. I'm frustrated with myself that I didn't start charting my temp as soon as I went off BC. I was only recording period days for the past three months, which I now realize was stupid. I could have had a whole mess of temp data by now. My original plans were to just go off of BC and "just see what happens" for the first 6 months, and if I didn't get pregnant during those months, we would start "trying for real" with the charting and the temping, and all the things.  But I'm too much of a control freak, I don't know why I thought that would work for me. DH complained when I started getting intense about baby making, but I literally cannot help myself. I've been trying to relax, but I have issues with anxiety in general, and who knew baby-making would put you through the wringer emotionally? I was not expecting to have all these feels, but here they are. Ugh. Okay, rant over. :)

    GTKY: If you could go on a road trip with one person (dead or alive) who would it be?  I love traveling with hubs, but I've never been on a road trip, or any trip really, with my best friend (BFF since 7th grade!). I know we would have a blast, but we went to different colleges, and now don't live in the same state, and she's in her medical residency and the stars just haven't aligned for us to go on a trip together. Maybe someday! 

    ETA: mornings are hard

    ashbear720 my silly husband thought that we would just NTNP, but clearly he did not know how much I wanted a baby yesterday. Even though temping and checking CM and CP can be stressful just imagine how much more stressful it would be not knowing anything! But spending time here does help some and having a hobby or craft at home to do helps as well! We all have felt your pain in one way or another.

    **lurking from WTO**

    @ashbear720 My original plan was just to "see what happens" for a few months, too. But I quickly became obsessed, because I realized that without temping/charting, I wouldn't really be seeing what happened, because I wouldn't know for sure if we were hitting the right days. I suspect that we may have a fertility issue, but part of me still hopes it will happen on its own. So without temping and charting, that part of me would probably always be like, well maybe we just missed the window this month. My DH was surprised at first too with how serious I suddenly became about it, but now he is actually really interested and asks me about my temperature and stuff.

    Same here. My husband doesn't understand my emotions and why i have them. I've learned a lot from this community and have made some friends along the way as well. I am the only one of my friends TTC as well and one that is pregnant, but she didn't really struggle getting pregnant the two times that she did so she really doesn't understand. It's good to talk to people who have been trying as long or longer than you because they truly know what you are going through!

    FX for you @anne2287

    @sldp123 thanks for sharing your experience with me. It does help to know that I'm not alone in feeling this way! I've been hearing so many stories about friends of friends that are young women (29-33 yr olds) that are already going through IVF and other fertility treatments, and I get scared that maybe there's just something in the water for our generation and that's how it's going to be for me too. I recognize that this a completely irrational fear, but thoughts like that pop up all the same. Thanks again for your note!

    Month/Cycle: We've been NTNP for almost 9.5 years

    CD/DPO: 27/Maybe 10 DPO?

    Timing: We were frisky around my FW so nearly ED

    Testing Plans: AF is due on Saturday so I'm going to try and wait until then..

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: For whatever reason, things are different this month. Like clockwork, I get insanely sore BBs around a week before AF and they're only a little sensitive but very swollen and slightly darkened. I have had a queasy feeling for the past few days, headaches, and plenty of CM - which is normally gone by now. My face has broken out all over the place and I can't stand the scent of DH's cologne anymore. This AM, I woke up and everything smelled like onion breath..I nearly gagged myself to death. I could totally be SS because I actually WANT to be PG right now so my brain could be making all of this up..

    GTKY: If you could go on a road trip with one person (dead or alive) who would it be? Does it have to be one person? I would love to go on a road trip with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. I think it would be awesomesauce. 

    ETA: I've been having ALL THE FEELS, too. Normally, I get irritated when AF is close but I am just crying over everything this week!

    Not sure if this helps anyone but figured I'd share! Also not sure if it's already been brought up :) I use the FRER OPKs and HPTs. So I've been getting rebates on them in the mail after the first one....go to inmarrebates.com/firstresponse. Click submit a rebate....then find your product and submit it with your receipt. I buy everything off amazon and so far I got $14 back. I bought preseed and some FRER product and got $10 back and $4 off a FRER HPT 3 pack. Found the coupon on a package and now I just keep going back to site and submitting them haha. Hope this helps someone :)

    13/9

    CD/DPO:
    16/1

    Timing:
    5,3,2,0,+1

    Testing Plans:
    I had the trigger shot this month so I'm trying to decide if I want to test out or not. Since I have had to CPs in the last six months my RE has me scheduled for a blood test on the 12. So no plans other than that really.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:
    Chart stalk: So this is my first cycle with the trigger shot and I realized I never looked into how it affects my temp except that I now that I have to manually put in my O date. So my question is what is it supposed to do does this look right?

    Rant: I hate my boss! Like so much! He is a bully and an ass! Ok rant over! For now.

    GTKY: If you could go on a road trip with one person (dead or alive) who would it be?
    It would always hands down be my Bestie we have so much fun on road trips and it's been forever since we have had one. I mean you can't beat the best!
