    Congrats @TalyaH!!

    Month/Cycle: 5/4

    CD/DPO: 31/8

    Timing: -5, -3, -2, 0

    Testing Plans: None until AF is due

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: In less than a month, my family lost my grandfather and two of my great uncles. A few family members have made comments to me about "this is when a family member needs to be added"and "someone should have a baby, we need some positivity." They don't know we are TTC, but I feel a lot of pressure anyways.

    CD/DPO: 22/8

    Timing: -4, -2, 0

    Testing Plans: No plan yet.  Had some minor cramps yesterday and today, which leads me to believe AF is coming (even though she's not due to arrive until the end of next week), so I'll probably just wait for her.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Temps came down the past two days (I suspect due to waking up earlier than normal), but are still well above CL (.8 degrees above).

    GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure when shopping? Probably make-up.

    Talya H.  Congrats!!!!! I love seeing BFP's gives me hope!!! H&H 9 months to you…. I want to see us all graduate in October FX!!!

    Month/Cycle:2/2

    CD/DPO: 16/4

    Timing: -4,-3,-2,-1,0 (2x), +1, +2

    Testing Plans:  I don't like BFN's so I'm going to try to wait until AF is late (Wish me luck with that!)

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My temp went way up today, but I think it's because I might have caught a cold. I also woke up congested. FF is still giving me dotted crosshairs which is annoying, but I can deal. My CM is no longer fertile so I'm pretty sure I O'd either CD 12 (where FF is stating I O'd for now) or CD13 or CD 14. My hubby and I BD ED everyday except CD 14, so I'm happy with timing even if FF changes my O day. A member on the WTO yesterday discussed how when she got pregnant with her first she stopped temping after she got solid crosshairs so that she wouldn't obsess about every rise and dip, and I was thinking of doing the same because temping although super informative and helpful, really messed up my sleeping patterns which I'm pretty sure played a role in me getting sick, so I think no matter what I'll stop temping in the next 2 days and just wait.

    @emp2642 waking up earlier makes your temps drop? how much earlier? I'm asking because mine dropped today but the room was very cold and I did test a bit earlier than usual. it's very close to the cover line though...

    Testing Plans: My period is due this weekend, so we'll see. If I don't have my period by Tuesday, I'll test.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: One of my best friends is getting married next summer and she asked me to be a bridesmaid. If I'm pregnant this cycle, I'll have the baby about a month and a half before the wedding, but if it takes a few months I may be hugely pregnant at her wedding lol. She knows I'm TTC, so she won't be upset and I won't be ruining her wedding but it might make choosing bridesmaid dresses difficult for her.

    GTKY: What is your guilty pleasure when shopping? I sew a lot of my own clothes, so sewing patterns and fabric are what I spend all my money on. Lately I've been really wanting to buy all the baby clothes patterns, but I'm trying to hold off. (I have made some onesies already though).
  • Options
    @KASG, I'm not a temping expert, but I believe temping earlier than usual can throw off your temps (typically, by making them lower than normal).  Not sure how much time change makes a difference... my drops were recorded when I woke up an hour earlier.  Anyone with more knowledge, please correct me if I'm wrong!

    I didn't start temping yet but I would assume it would be a little different considering you will be in an new environment and it can cause differences. If you are like me and need to have consistency to keep a routine, I would bring and measure and just write it down and then decide if you want to add to a chart?

    @KASG I temped an hour earlier this entire cycle and my temps are say 98.1 last cycle, they are 97.9 range this cycle. Was the same trend as last month until today. Everyone is different. Also it has dropped like 20 degrees here this week outside, and no difference in my temp.

    ***********lurking from WTO**********

    @KASG- I'd agree, you did have a pretty significant drop.  I would expect AF to show based on that.   Also, from my understanding, your temps rise the later it gets in the day.  So for example, I temp pretty consistently around 5:30 AM give or take 30 min.  The 30 min should not make that significant of a difference in temp but will possibly give you an open circle on FF, especially depending on how far off you are from what time you usually temp.  Now lets say I sleep in one weekend until 7 am.  From my understanding, my temp should be slightly higher due to that and I would also probably get an open circle on that day.  However, all that said, everybody is different.  So your usual temps may be different than mine and the sleeping in later thing may not affect you at all.  Some peoples temps are heavily affect by things like drinking for example and others aren't.  I see a huge temp spike the morning after I've been drinking, especially if I go to bed with a buzz. Consistency is the key.  If you are having a lot of rocky temps, I'd set an alarm every day for the same time and try vaginal temping.

    @laurenm2123- can you attach your chart?

    @sldp123- If you got a BFN would you be in the mood to enjoy the wedding? How long is your LP? 11 DPO is still somewhat early to test.  I would probably wait because I know that  a BFN would put me in a funk.   If you are worried about people asking you about why you aren't drinking you can always just sip on a drink to avoid the question.  This past month in my TWW I had a few drinks in the 1st half of it.  During the the 2nd part I didn't want to drink too much because I know that my temps really spike depending on how much I have and I didn't want to give myself any false hopes.  

    @mrsschmity- Sorry about the crankiness but I can so relate!! I was a hot mess those last 2 days of my last TWW!!  I had to apologize to DH too.  They just don't understand the hormones though. One of the other ladies made a suggestion I may try this next go round depending on how things go.  She said after she gets a def O confirmed she stops temping because it stresses her out after O and she just waits until 10-11 days post O to test or not.  She said she had lost track of the days and then realized it was 11 DPO, so she tested.  I kind of like that because I know that personally my hopes were pretty high this past month when I saw what my temps were doing post O.  Plus it keeps some of the "surprise" still in it, which I have felt was missing with the whole temping thing.  Don't get me wrong, I like knowing and being more confident in the fact we got the timing right, but i feel like the TWW kind of takes a surprise of a BFP out of it some, especially if you are temping. I still haven't decided one way or the other for this month, but I liked the idea of it. 

    @smfeuro- I think that your chart looks pretty accurate.....that is interesting that you are so far past O though and still BFNS.  Maybe you don't have enough hormones built up?? FX for you that you get an answer sooner rather than later!!

    @meggyme- I'd say skip the thermometer.  The temps will more than likely not be accurate because of change of location/time/environment.  Or bring it if you like consistency with your chart, but just make notes of the changes? Hard to say.  I brought mine with me when we went on vacation but only because it was going to be the start of my cycle while we were gone.

    Congrats @Talya H.!!!!

    As always, thank you for the advice/feedback @MNturnsVA :)

    I may give that a try next month. Honestly, I don't even know why I've been cranky. I'll admit the TWW has made me a bit anxious for sure, but I don't feel like that's why I've been a cranky bitch the last 2 days. More than likely just exacerbated PMS for whatever reason, and my monthly reminder that AF is coming. 
  • Options
    @MNturnsVA thanks. That's what I'm thinking. I don't want to mess up my thermometer and I'm not expecting any groundbreaking revelations between dpo4 and 7.

    I've started symptom spotting. I was nauseous all morning and I haven't started spotting yet, which is unusual. Although I know both of those mean nothing.

    Thanks @MNturnsVA for the input! I'm not sure how long my LP really is because this was my first full cycle temping. Last month my cycle was 27 days, and this month I know I O'd on day 15, so if that was the same last month then I guess it would have been 12? But that's just a guess because I only started temping near the end of last cycle. I'm not a huge drinker anyway, so it wouldn't be that weird for me to not be drinking much. I was more concerned just because I would like to have a couple of drinks. But I'm sure it would probably be fine, since some people don't get a BFP at 11 DPO anyway and still end up being KU. Thanks for your advice, hopefully I can resist testing until the next day!
