    ETA:  Congrats @EasterEggs!!!

    Month/Cycle: 5/4

    CD/DPO: 21/7

    Timing: -5, -2, -1, O (triggered to time ovulation/TI)

    Testing Plans:  I was going to wait until 9dpo but I'll probably use another Wondfo tomorrow.  Because I'm crazy.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:  So I've been testing out my trigger every other day (3, 5 & 7dpo) and today the line was the same as 2 days ago which has me curious.  So I'll probably test tomorrow to see if it gets any lighter (if it's still the trigger) or maybe darker?    

    GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot?  This is tough.  The OBX for a beach vacation.  DH and I have gone on two long weekend trips in the past year and had a blast.  Wilmington, NC and Vegas.  Totally different but so fun!

  • @hrobinson7289   I'm pretty sure that has been around since people could count lol. For some people it is true - I almost always have 28 day cycles and usually ovulate on CD 14, but it is definitely not true for everyone, as everyone here can attest


    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD/DPO: 19/5

    Timing: -4, -1, +1

    Testing Plans: Waiting until 16dpo

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I had brought this up a few days ago, but I started reading TCOYF yesterday (woo!) and it made me change my mind. FF had originally put my CH at CD 13 and then moved them to CD 14 a few days later. I had EWCM the morning of CD 14, but then it was dry the rest of the day, so I had taken it out and the CH were moved back to CD 13. But after what I have read so far in TCOYF, it seems that I probably ovulated on the morning of CD 14 because CM can dry up within a few hours after ovulation. So I put it back into my chart and now my CH are back at CD 14. I mean, I guess it doesn't matter too much since there isn't anything I can do about our timing at this point.

    Also my trial VIP subscription on FF ran out today :(  I can't bring myself to pay for it though, since I didn't even use most of the VIP features.

    GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot?
    A vacation anywhere is great. But I like historical spots best - anywhere with old buildings or museums (I went to London once and really enjoyed that)
  • Congratulations, @eastereggs

    Month/Cycle: 5/4

    CD/DPO: 18/5 - see rant

    Timing: 0

    Testing Plans: None

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I am not convinced I have ovulated. I only have dotted CH's, and my temps were a little wonky for a few days because of traveling/having a cold. But I'll hang out here (since FF hasn't taken my CH's away yet) and not be surprised if my CH's move and/or are removed. I've played around with my chart, entering a similarly low temp for tomorrow, expecting my CH's to be taken away, but in that scenario FF just lowers the coverline. And if I discard CD14's temp, the CH are moved to CD11. So I'll just leave everything as is, and wait and see what happens :) 

    GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? Daytona Beach, FL 
  • @FrancesGrace630 It looks like you had two outliers and with one being an open circle, it's likely to be quite inaccurate. I would wait and try and take your temps at the same time as its likey they will rise again. How long is your LP?
  • @missthumpa My LP is usually 13 days. The open circle on CD13 was because I had to be up super early for a flight. On average I usually O around CD22, so I don't really think my CH are accurate, but I probably won't know that for sure for several more days. Thanks for the chart stalk! 
  • @francesgrace630 looking at your chart I would guess you havent ovulated. Just HIO for more safety :)

  • @jolydan Thanks! That's the plan...I really hope I didn't O yet, just because if I did, we only had sex once in my FW. 
  • Month/Cycle: 6/4th month temping

    CD/DPO: 25/6 DPO

    Timing:  -3, -2, 0, +1

    Testing Plans: Sunday of next week if AF doesn't show by then, which would be 15 DPO but I'll be out of town Friday evening until late Saturday night.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I'm so thankful its Friday its not even funny.  There are drinks in my future tomorrow.  I was going to not temp post O but because of my travel plans, I know I would be going crazy if AF didn't show her ugly face and then suddenly did as  a surprise and I was unprepared for it.  I may skip a few days until Thursday however.  We'll see.  I'm feeling pretty even keeled as of today though.  We had good timing and we are on month 6 of TTC, but also we've really only had "good timing" for 3 of those 6 months because I didn't start temping right away.  Going to get my blood drawn today for check on progesterone levels.  I also have a an appt with an RE set up for early Nov and DH is getting a SA as well the same week.  I'm 35 and he's going to be 43 in just a few days.  So i feel that we are on the right path at least if no BFP this month.  

    GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? Anywhere with a body of water is usually pretty good for me, preferably the ocean  :)


    @misskay913       That is a little odd about the same temp, but I had 2 days of the exact same temps with in the last 48 hours?  I do feel that overall my temps are more consistent in general post O though (unless I've been drinking)

    @KASG            remind me again how long your LP is?

    @Al_TwinCities        I'm so sorry about AF!!  Are you appts already scheduled for Dec?  I'm going next month if no BFP this month for us.

    @belle714              Sorry about AF!!  The cover line doesn't really mean much other than that its a visual aid to help you see the temp shifts.  If your temp were to drop significantly, then for some women it does mean AF will be here soon. And looks like you may be one of the women that applies too.  Al_TwinCities had some good insight about implant dips and temps too and how that all works, for future reference for you. 

    @smfeuro           What about a lunch date?  Can you find a place to meet up to try to squeeze in a quickie?? Rent a hotel room?  Sex in the AM?  Sometimes we have to "schedule" sex or it would never happen.  We also usually have to do it before dinner during the work week or it won't happen.  What if you woke him up suggestively with a "massage" on a certain body part of his? You may have to get creative to make it work.  Or he may be allowed to take a nap until you get home with the understanding that he'll be woken up when you get home.  Sounds like you need to have a chat about how to make it work better with your schedules as the timing is critical to make a BFP happen.

    @rkstro2         Can you plan a date night?  a massage?  A weekend get away?  Do you have a pre baby bucket list of things to do before baby comes?  I'd try to do something fun once a month before baby if you can.  Plan something big for the holiday next month?

    @ReadyforaB       Are you temping?

    @missthumpa       Can you make plans for something fun for next month?  A weekend get away?  A long weekend at home?  I hope this is your month though!!  I've found these few phrases to be very helpful= There is nothing you can do post O about the situation, other than to breathe and just let nature take its course.  You've done everything you can to get the timing right by temping and after that its out of your hands.  Also, I was rudely reminded this week by my mental frame of mind and emotions, that PMS and progesterone go hand in hand.  So maybe try to tell yourself you are just PMS ing?? 

    @hrobinson7289     I'd try to not ever focus on just one temp specifically too much or you will go crazy.  your temps post O really won't mean much anyways until probably at least 10 DPO or so.  If you have a significant temp drop around then and it doesn't go back up the next day or 2, you can probably expect AF.  I think the 28 day cycle is as dated as it gets.....that was probably the thought process since the medical field started.

    @ButterMyBiscuit      Hooray for CH!!  Welcome!!

    @cait5413             Dotted CH means that FF is pretty sure of when you O'd based on the info you gave it.  Its not 100% sure, but its about 90% sure.   In your last few cycles when you have O'd?  Your O date can vary much more than the length of LP.  If you have been sick, traveling, overly stressed, all of these can affect O date.

    @0SeaMonkey0       I have to agree with FF.  After CD 27, you have had your highest temps of the whole cycle.  You need to have 3 temps higher than the prev 6 to confirm O.  Your temps on CD 29 and 30 are the highest of the whole cycle, so I would say that FF is right.
  • Congrats @EasterEggs! H&H 9 months!

    Month/Cycle: 9/9

    CD/DPO: 22/6

    Timing: -4, -2, O

    Testing Plans: next Friday if AF doesn't show

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Going on day 8 of spotting so that's super fun. :(( and because of that my hopes are not high for this cycle. I'm pretty chill about that now but I'm sure I'll be more emotional about it next week. yea hormones!

    GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? Florida Keys. and like some of PP said, put me on some water and I'm a happy camper anywhere.

  • @AL_TwinCities sucky FX next month is your month :)

    @EasterEggs Congratulations!! H & H 9 months

    @missthumpa FX your temps stay high

    Month/Cycle: 6/5

    CD/DPO: 25/?

    Timing: EOD after AF

    Testing Plans: well I had family from Wisconsin over yesterday so I wanted to see; I woke up yesterday and tested BFN. I knew it was too early at best it was DPO 9. So now I’m waiting till Sunday or maybe Monday to test. Even when you know its doubtful BFN still hurt.

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: just happy Friday is finally here

    GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? Depends if it’s just husband and me I’d go back to Belize. With family I love camping on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.

    *** Dirty lurker ***

    @misskay913 I get what you mean about the temps. If you switched thermometers and are still getting the same thing, it could be that's just how it is for you. This was common for me (for several days) so I wouldn't worry about it :)

    @EasterEggs Congratulations!

  • @EasterEggs   Congrats!! How exciting :)

    Cycle/Month:  12/ 10

    CD/DPO:  35/ 14dpo? 

    Timing:  Day 16/18/20/21

    Testing:  I tested this morning with FMU and BFN. 

    R/R/CS:  I still have 0 PMS symptoms which is very strange for me, usually I have really sore boobs by now and am super emotional. I must have just ovulated really late. Now I am regretting not temping the last while (due to it making me crazy) and definitely can't wait for either a BFP or AF so I can start temping better next month. 

    DH gets his SA results next week so FX!

    GTKY:  Probably all inclusives in Mexico. They are relaxing. I have been to Europe, and all over the States and Canada but I like vacations where I can just relax.

    @MNturnsVA Thank you! My temp this AM was pretty close to yesterday's 2nd temp so I just kept it as is. Woohoo for CH! And like you, I think drinks are in my future this weekend, too! :)

    Month/Cycle:  2/2

    CD/DPO: 22/3

    Timing:  So much sex, I need a break. 

    Testing Plans:  I have a crap ton of Wondfos, so I might start on 7DPO just to be crazy. Also, see rant. 

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:  So, I'm the one who posted last night about getting laid off in January. FF gave me my first ever SOLID CROSS HAIRS this morning, which is awesome, as this is my first full cycle temping. If you've read the laid off thread, you'll know that I've decided to put TTC on hold until I get my next job locked down. However, since FF gave me O for Tuesday, the damage has been done this cycle and we'll just see what happens this month. AF is due a week from today, so with the (anticipated) short LP, I have no expectations (which might be better considering my lay-off situation). I ordered Wondfos last week, so now I have a crap ton of OPKs and HPTs, AND a few dollar store HPTs... I'm going to keep charting while benched so the OPKs will keep getting peed on, but the HPTs will probably just be sitting around waiting for a while. Might as well use up a few this month even if I'm expecting BFNs...

    GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? I grew up in Hawaii, and it's nice to go back there with DH. It's expensive, so probably not going back any time soon since my parents also moved to the mainland to be close to us.

I'll post my chart below. I don't know if the timing even makes conception possible. Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: see chart below. GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot?

    Month/Cycle: 7

    CD/DPO: 28/6

    Timing: -1, O, O+1

    Testing Plans: I don't have any plans. I think I'm just going to watch my temps & see what happens. 

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Rant/ I don't have anything to rant about today! Rave/ H is home from work today so he & our puppies are going with me to check cattle :) I'm so sorry I'm always asking questions but I can never really answer any :( My question is since my temps have been so high these past couple of days (nothing has changed... I haven't been hot or anything) do you think FF will change my O date? I am pretty 100% confident I O'd when it said I did but I don't understand these 2 super high temps

  • @bbrooke92 your temps are supposed to be high after you ovulate. It would only *maybe* move your CH if you got a huge drop and stayed really low. Maybe I'm not really sure what you're asking?
  • Congrats @EasterEggs! H&H 9 months and much luck to you!
    @AL_TwinCities sorry about AF. Hope things start looking up for you soon.


    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD/DPO: 31/10

    Timing: ED/EOD

    Testing Plans: yesterday BFN, waiting for AF now, if she's not here tomorrow then will test again Sunday but doubtful very doubtful

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Attaching my chart. I'm just glad to have made it to 10 day LP *shooof!* At least next month I know I O later than I thought, regardless of if FF is exactly right or a couple days off. Definitely grabbing preseed at the store because my EWCM is way off.

    GTKY: My favorite vacation is the beach- Florida, Cali, Mexico, Cayman Islands! I love hot sandy beaches, laying in the sun, jogging along the surf, and doing nothing! While I don't really like getting in the water, beach vacation is my favorite because I hate vacations where there are activities and things I have to do. Read, nap, and move at a snails pace ahhhhhhh

  • @bbrooke92   Ah, I see. I can see why you think it would maybe change the date (possibly to CD 25), but I don't think it will because your CM doesn't match up. You could try taking the CM data out and see if it moves it if you are curious, but if you think your CM data is accurate, then it most likely was CD 22
  • @MNTurnsVA : usually around CD22; my cycles have generally been 32-34 days (or at least they were pre-BC). Last cycle was my first one post-BC that was really like my cycles before BC (off BC since March, and cycles since then have been longer; I think my average is 40 days), so maybe my body is still getting back to "normal." So, it was unexpected. But I'm rolling with it and just trying not to get my hopes up!

  • @MEA0320      How long is your LP usually?  Sorry if I've asked you already.....sometimes I forget if we've already talked about certain things.
  • @MNturnsVA based on one cycle's LP being 17 and the other being 11, the average so far is 14. The truth is that IDK. I did read that 9DPO is an average implantation day... #graspingstraws

    Although honestly I don't usually get such a steep drop at 9DPO. Usually (well based off of 2 cycles) the day before AF. At most 2.

    Or maybe it's a random fluke temp...

  • @MNturnsVA - typically around 12-15 days. So right now I'm just holding out to test on DPO 12 (Monday) only because I don't want to get my hopes up too much. What kills me is how long my cycles are - 35-40 days :( But this past month I was on antibiotics so it feels even longer.

  • @MNturnsVA thanks for the encouragement. We have big plans for this weekend with a Halloween party today and tailgating tomorrow. My bucket list pre-baby is complete bc I "knew" that I would get KU on the first try. So we finished our bucket list before we started TTC. So I need to come up with some new bucket list items pre-baby since it's taking longer than we thought :)
  • @rkstro2     Oh have fun @ the Halloween party!!!  We almost always go to DC for Halloween and dress up but we aren't going this year because my older sister is having surgery next week and I have to go help out with my niece and nephew.....So no halloween parties for us this year.
  • @MNturnsVA - thanks for the encouragement! I plan to clean the house this weekend since it's supposed to rain. DH isn't pushing to have me test so that is helping me get through the days of waiting. I hate Monday's too, but figured if things don't go my way this month, why not do it on a day I don't like - it would give me a reason to have more wine if needed. ;)

    Hope your doc visit went well.

    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD/DPO: 36/15

    Timing: EOD/ED week before & during O

    Testing Plans: I have chickened out twice... I'm afraid of seeing a BFN so I'm trying to wait through this weekend to make sure AF doesn't arrive. I've literally had a test in my hand twice but just couldn't do it as I knew I'd set my self into a depression all weekend if it wasn't positive. Am I the only one that feels this way?! Is it better to just know either way? I feel crazy. 

    Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I've been MIA because I was on the west coast all week for work, so I'm all out of whack/ exhausted. I've been symptom spotting like crazy, I'm tired, sore all over, irritable, I can't tell if its PMS or if this may be our month... guess I'll know by Monday when I'm planning to cave & take the test if AF isn't here. I've just counted on this happening in such timing that if we're out this month I know I'm going to be so upset (I've mentioned before I wanted to tell my whole family at once at Christmas). I finally did tell my 1 best friend that we are trying, she's the only one (my mom/family doesn't know) and she was super supportive & excited (she just had her first 6 months ago). Of course she said what everyone else says... just relax & enjoy it, it will happen!

    It happened to me the month I got KU with my DD....I had 4 days in a row of 98.5. That was right at the tail end when I got my BFP. I checked again a few days later just for the heck of it, and looking back, my temp increased by that time. So just sayin'....it does happen.

  • @kcooper1986 thank you for staying positive!
  • @MsBeachNJ FWIW, I'm planning to take my test next weekend if AF doesn't show and I prefer the idea of testing on the weekend. If it's a BFN I wouldn't want to deal with trying to focus at work that day (or the next day) and I would prefer to have the weekend to wear sweatpants and drink copious amounts of beer. If it's a BFP I would want to celebrate so I definitely wouldn't be able to focus at work, I would be pinning baby things all day. A weekend BFP means I can excitedly start planning and buying things to tell our parents and closest friends.

     
     



  • @littemisstimelord Thank you! I hadn't thought of that... though I did think this morning with the test in my hand, if this is a BFN, I'm going to be useless today at work...and I put it down,  so perhaps I will test on the weekend! Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! Good luck to you next weekend!
