**chart stalk**

Month/Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 23/6

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

Testing Plans: Maybe Sunday- FF says my period will come CD 33, but I have always had a very regular 28 day cycle, which would be Sunday.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Yes please! Had a huge drop this morning, FX it's an implantation dip and that I'm not already out at CD 23. Any other suggestions?!?!

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself? I love how caring I am, how resilient I am and how hardworking I am. I'm learning that having a good personality is more important than your looks- 16 year old me would be impressed!

****************BFP MENTIONED*******************

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 28/10

Timing: -1, 0, +1

Testing Plans: I'll likely keep checking with wondfos until I get that dark positive, but it's overkill.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I'm officially calling it. The FRER gave me a light but clear positive with FMU and the Wondfo is darker than ever. I think part of my reluctance to accept it is leaving this board. I can say with confidence that I probably wouldn't have gotten this BFP if it weren't for your wealth of knowledge that helped me learn more about my body and charting. I plan on still being a creepy stalker here and love-titting you all. Wishing you all the best of luck!!!

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself? 1) Sense of humor 2) My multitasking abilities (which DH has shown me through his lack of them are a talent) 3) Being the shoulder for any friend in need.

Congrats @sorarose

Month/Cycle:15/6

CD/DPO: 21/3

Timing:-4,-3,-2,-1,0,+1

Testing Plans: 10 dpo

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I have a very sweet puppy who constantly wants to play fetch.  He will find anything he can: toys, toilet paper rolls, sheets of paper from my desk, anything.  I do not want to play fetch at 5:45 in the morning and he's driving me a little crazy this morning.

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself? I like that I'm extremely hard working, I care a lot about others, and I like that I work hard to make a difference.  I try my best to make a positive impact on all of my students and I hope that makes a difference for them.

@laurenm2123 I don't know anything about charting or Temping, otherwise I would give you advice. But I'll FX for you that this is your month!


Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 19/5-6 ??

Timing: 3 times before FW then ED during FW

Testing Plans: none until DPO 10-12

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: have had a very intense weekend of emotions. First riding a total high from very successful birthday party and loved basking in the attention and well wishing plus spending time with out of town family. Then crashed by stupid voicemail from BIL (long story) that caused an emotional breakdown with hyperventilating and panic, the next day struggling with MIL because she refuses to take care of herself (basic things like eating) when she's about to start chemo next week. Not to mention to evenings of intense nausea, I mean kneeling by the toilet while my body goes through the motions of throwing up yet nothing happens, which leads to hours of pain and more nausea and then dizziness. I am done. The rest of the week better get back to normal and dull.

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself?

I think I'm very caring and good at listening to people and showing empathy to them and being supportive without trying to just "fix the problem". I hate when you reach out for support and the person tries to just give you solutions. I try to show love and caring without reservations. I want the people I love to know exactly how much I love them, no matter how awkward it may sound.

Also think I'm good at being organized and planning for future situations. Like taking the extra step now to make future situations easier. This also becomes a downfall when I'm trying to plan for multiple outcomes. DH says I live in the future. But I think it helps because when we get to that situation I had tried to anticipate and plan accordingly, my previous effort pays off.

I'm a good cook. I've been told so many times, but most importantly I LOVE the food I make hahaha. I realize it sounds conceited but it's true, regardless of what others think, I enjoy the meals I make.

@sorarose congratulations!!!! I wish you a H&H pregnancy! Yay!

***Chart Stalk***

Congrats on the BFP's so far this month!!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 27/3 (?!?!?! See rant)

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

Testing Plans: I don't even know anymore

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I didn't start temping until late and a couple days ago FF gave me an O date of CD19. Last night I had cramps and assumed it was that b*tch AF (estimated to start Thursday.) I expected a temp drop but this morning when I temped it was higher than usual and FF changed my O date to CD24. Next cycle I'm going to start temping vaginally because I'm starting to think I'm a mouth breather. I'm also going to set an alarm to temp because as you can see there are a bunch of days where the timing was off. Can you guys possibly give any insight on my screwed up chart please? I'm so confused.

GTKY: I'm very caring towards others, I love animals, and I'm honest

dabeezkneez

Well congrats @sorarose! I don't blame you, the ladies here are pretty great

****chart stalk, anyone?***

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 20/5

Timing: -2, -1, 0, 1

Testing Plans: who am I kidding? I'm going to TRY to make it to 14DPO.... we will see.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: can someone give me an opinion on my chart? It's my first month temping and I'm a little clueless as to what I'm looking at... Though it does look like I actually ovulated!

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself? Hmmm. My hair. It's fairly long now and that's cool. I like the fact that I can form coherent sentences online... I'm also proud of the fact that I really care about other people. I always try to help others if I possibly can. People have taken advantage though and that makes me kinda sad...

Eta: Oops it might help if I actually attached my chart...

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

@laurenm2123 I have had a dip in temp around 6-7dpo for a few cycles. FF popped up with some statistics about implantation dips after one of my dips and basically said it could be implantation but it could be nothing and it happens on lots of charts.

Congrats @sorarose

Month/Cycle: 1

CD/DPO:28/12

Timing: -1, 1

Testing: Took a FRER this morning and it was BFN. Now just to wait for that b*tch AF to arrive on Friday.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Veryyyy nauseous the last two days. Although I wasn't looking forward to feeling like this for the forseeable future, I thought it might be a sign. Stupid brain.

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself? Put others first, smart, caring.

jolydan

Month/Cycle:3/2

CD/DPO:31/8

Timing:-4,-1,0

Testing Plans: trying to hold until Monday (see chart!)

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I got a huge 0.3 jump this morning but I was "expecting it" last night I started getting hot flashes (face turning bright red and temperature climbing up to 99.4) it's a symptom I never had before. I'm trying to not symptom spot but something feels different this month. Finger cross its progesterone spike. Does my chart looks triphasic???

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself?
(I feel vain writing this!!)
I'm caring, I get easily excited (still a big child), I'm loyal.

Here's my chart

@kawest99 Don't you hate it how the body plays nasty jokes on us? I know changing hormones before O and before AF can cause nausea but when it's really really bad, it's not fair that it gives us false hope!

jolydan

Oh and congrats @sorarose !!! You'll always be welcome to visit us

@jolydan don't feel vain! I've been so stressed out recently with work, school, family stuff and TTC. It's important to be positive and remember how great we all are! (Sappy moment!)

LizaKate1213

@laurenm2123, is this your first cycle charting? The part of your cycle that is usually consistent is your LP, or days from ovulation until AF. FF is probably assuming a 14 day LP. If yours is consistently 11 days then you could still get AF on CD 28. Just remember, you are regular until you're not.

@MrsB8214, I think the new O date is correct. Three temps higher than the previous 6. Definitely try setting an alarm.

Congrats @sorarose!!!!

@dabeezkneez, why the discarded temp on CD16? But it looks like a clear temp shift and accurate O date.


Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 35/12

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

Testing Plans: Friday if no AF by then

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Yesterday my temp plummeted, today it skyrocketed...Buttt I woke up having a full on hot flash! I was sweaty and just overall felt super hot. After I went to the bathroom and rested un-bundled for a while, my temp dropped a bunch. I am thinking today's temp is pretty inaccurate and I was overbundled while sleeping. Buttt no AF so I'll hold out a shred of hope.

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself? I put everyone else before myself, I am an extremely hard worker, and my friends and family tell me I am great at motivating others.

mrsschmity

****************BFP Mentioned**************

@laurenm2123 I definitely don't think you're out yet! I got a fairly significant dip at 7DPO. Obviously I can't tell you for sure whether it was an implantation dip or not, but I've heard it's fairly common to get a dip with an estrogen surge around halfway through the luteal phase also. I'll bet you see your temps back up tomorrow

Congrats @sorarose!!!

dabeezkneez it does look like you O'd! Now you wait. Try not to analyze too much. Easier said than done, I know lol As others have told me before, you're not looking at a single tree, you're looking at a forest. So don't focus too much on a single dip or rise. It's the overall trend you're looking at. 

@jolydan your chart looks good so far! FX for you

Month/Cycle:5/4

CD/DPO: 32/14

Timing: -6, -4, -3, -2, O, +2

Testing Plans: I am shitting myself....(not really, a little too early for that yet). I wasn't even going to test this morning because I was so convinced AF was going to show today. I was going to force myself to wait until AF was for sure late. When I fell asleep on the couch last night at 7:30 for 3 hours, and then this morning when I saw my temps were still fairly high with no cramps or spotting, I figured I should probably just do it. So I peed on my one and only FRER test that I had, let it sit on the toilet and walked away. I was sure I'd see nothing but white. Went back to the bathroom 3 minutes later, picked up the test and almost fell over. Two strong pink lines. Clear as day. I had to double check like 3 times to make sure I grabbed the pregnancy test instead of a leftover OPK. It's definitely a pregnancy test. And I took it after H left for work because I was so sure I was going to wait until later this week, so I get to tell him the good new tonight! 

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Honestly I'm kind of sad that I have to leave you ladies and this board, even if for a very happy reason. I feel like the other boards just won't be the same. I am so happy I got the balls to start posting and share this journey with all of you, and I truly appreciate all of the advice and things I've learned in the last few months. I will forever and always be a lurker, so expect to see me around once in a while to check in with everyone

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself? My sense of self, my humor, my loyalty

jolydan

@mrsschmity YEAH!!!!!
Congratulations I'm Sooooo happy for you!!!!! We'll all miss you here but so glad you got to join your BMB
Please come back visit!!

CourtJack

This has been a fun morning to read the TWW thread. Big congrats to @sorarose and @mrsschmity. I know I've only been here a short time but so happy for you guys. And all the other BFPs this month!

jmr1515

I knew it! Congrats @mrsschmity!!
Congrats to you @sorarose!
Loving all the BFPs this month so far!

jolydan

@laurenm2123 your chart seems to have a lot of up and down. Are you a mouth breather?? You are not out until you are out! (I remember saying this to @mrsschmity this week and see what happened to her!!)

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 22/9

Timing: -3,-1,0(x2)

Testing Plans: none right now

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: chart spiked yesterday but took a HUGE nose dive this morning. Too early for AF though so I'm hoping it'll go back up.

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself? Kind, good listener, good cook.

Mr0616

Congrats @mrsschmity!!!!!! I just knew it when you said you had the burping too!!!

sldp123

Congrats @sorarose and @mrsschmity !!

And @mrsschmity I just knew you were going to get a BFP! I really admire your willpower, I never could have waited so long to test. 

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 22/7

Timing: -1

Testing Plans: Almost lost my mind and POAS this morning, but luckily I came to my senses before getting out of bed. The plan is 13DPO on Sunday.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Today is my birthday! I had a huge pity party (in my head) for myself a few weeks ago about turning 34 and TTC, but feeling much better today and in general. I know I owe a lot of that to this board and everything I have learned about temping, OPKs, etc. because I just feel a lot more in control now.

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself? This is hard for me. I would say I'm caring, intelligent, and honest.

jolydan

@sldp123 happy birthday!!

gravcass

Congrats to the new BFPs!

Month/Cycle:7/6

Month/Cycle:11

CD/DPO: 25/12

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

Testing Plans: I've been testing...bfn's so far.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: My temp went up this morning by .18 degrees so I was really excited to test...bfn.  Maybe just a random spike that means nothing -_-   It really got my hopes up. 

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself? Good listener, caring, funny.

Kballew10

This is my first TWW post (I was just a lurker last cycle since I wasn't temping and didn't really know where I was in my cycle)... but apparently this was a good day to start!  Congrats @Sorarose and @Mrsschmity!! And happy birthday @sldp123!

Month/Cycle: 5/2

CD/DPO: 56/3

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

Testing Plans: DPO 13/14 - right before we go out of town

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I ranted yesterday on the WTO board about how my temp dipped... turns out it was not low enough and now I have dotted CH.  So I mostly feel like a dramatic whiner.  Apparently I shouldn't be allowed to comment on these until after I've had coffee...

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself? I am organized, I am caring, and I am intelligent (book smart... common sense still eludes me sometimes!)

hgsurvivor

@mrsschmity yay!!! So happy to hear the good news! Wish you happy and healthy pregnancy! Thank you for all your participation and support.

@sldp123 Happy Birthday!!! You deserve to enjoy and celebrate!

@Kballew10 welcome to the TWW! Definitely great day to jump in! I love the TWW posts.

@severmilli12 sorry for all those bfn. Hang in there.

FX!


Edit- birthday wishes and other comments

mrsschmity

@KOR1219 Dude I feel like I don't have what people would normally consider early PG symptoms lol No sore boobs, no cramps, no spotting. Nothing but burping, sleepy and my lack of wanting breakfast. Sounds like an old man.

@sldp123 I have no idea how I waited this long either. Like I said yesterday, I think I was so convinced that AF was on her way that I didn't want to get my hopes up...I started symptom spotting AF instead of a BFP lol AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!

** ETA birthday wishes

mrsschmity

Thank you @BVBabyHopeful
I truly enjoyed being a part of this community, and hope to see more BFP's from this group in the near future!

CD/DPO: 25/9

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Testing Plans: 14DPO

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: temp went down .1, which isn't much, but... pout. I've had one cycle with an 11 day LP and two with 13 day LPs, so I'm curious to see where this one will fall.

GTKY: What are your three favorite things about yourself?
1.) My sense of humor
2.) My ability to cook well
3.) My reading habit

Mr0616

@mrsschmity my burping isn't as bad but it is still here. Gassy too when I've eaten nothing to cause gas.  I've had no cramps or spotting either.  Slighting pinching, and has that a couple of time yesterday as well.  Boobs were fine this morning. Still feels like AF is going to show one of these days. Oh and I've been sleeping 8+ hours a night. Here's to October being just as great as September!!!

Anyone who is interested - I found this article interesting about summer babies:

@hockeyfan42 I need tips on estsaishing and keeping a good reading habit. I LOVE reading for pleasure. And used to be really happy with how many books I was reading every month (before dating DH). But now I miss it. DH doesn't read for pleasure at all and I feel he doesn't understand why I would want to sit and read instead of enjoy hanging out with him.

congrats @mrsschmity and @sorarose

As for myself I am out this cycle =( Today is CD1 so I'm moving over to WTO for now. I'll be back!

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I should be getting AF this afternoon. I don't really feel any AF symptoms and my temp went up slightly this morning so I am hesitantly hopeful.

Congratulations @mrsschmity and @sorarose!!!  

@mrsschmity You were the first thing I thought of this morning, I'm so happy to hear the good news!

mrsschmity

Sorry about AF @chanfa  
Thank you @MNturnsVA!! You know I'll be back to check in I hope I don't see you over here too much longer either!
FX for you @teamginger13! Sometimes the most obvious symptoms are no symptoms at all. Hope your temps stay high!

hgsurvivor

@chanfa sorry to hear that. CD1 sucks! Time to pull out the yummies: wine, whiskey, cake, sushi. All of it!
