TWW Sunday

NamelessAria

@FerdieFox Being cranky and having someone bug you to do something you don't want to do always sucks. I can understand wanting to wait and not have to see all the negatives. I personally don't have that much patience and will power but I wish I did. Also, lifetime supply of money was clearly the correct answer. I now need to go back and edit my post.

@Igem4 Other than the temp drop from mouth breathing all night your chart is looking great. I hope you feel better soon! Colds suck.

@MrsE2015 Judging by your temp dips, fertile CM after O and spotting I'd say your progesterone may be low this cycle for some reason.

@FerdieFox our timing and DPO are the same. CYCLE TWINSIIIEESSS. I also planned to wait until my period showed up rather than get a negative test. And then this morning me and the fella decided to test on 15 DPO. But I have a FRER in the bathroom already and I decided about 20 minutes ago that I'm just going to test tomorrow morning. I decided I would rather know tomorrow if it's negative so I can just prepare for AF rather than hold out pregnancy hope for another couple days. But I'm sticking with just the one test this time rather than the four I took between 8 DPO and 14 DPO last cycle (blech).

@LittleMissTimeLord Yay cycle twins!!  Just in the time since I posted I have changed my mind about testing several times. Luckily I have no tests so I would have to leave the house, which most likely isn't happening since its cold and rainy out. I almost ordered a bunch of Wondfos a couple of weeks ago but I knew I would go test crazy like I did last cycle (spent way too much money on FRER's lol). Good luck testing tomorrow, FX!!

Hi ladies! Took a few days off, work was exhausting last week!

Month/cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: ?/?

Timing: pretty much EOD since +OPK and that's all I have to go on

Testing: I don't know anymore

R/R/CS: I'm considering myself to be in a pseudo TWW since I just got Mirena out and have no idea where I am in my cycle. O signs and +OPK have me even more confused which is annoying but I refuse to get my hopes up. I just know I have a raging post IUD period coming, so I'm stocked up and ready!

GTKY: If I can't say money I'm going to go with cute clothes and shoes.

@JournoGrl23 - thanks! I crochet, although I do know a couple of knit stitches. I just prefer crochet. My favorites to make are the little stuffed animals. And I have SO much yarn. But you can never have too much!

@pretzel2plus1 and @JournoGrl23 I'm super jealous right now. I wish I knew how to crochet or knit!!!

Hi ladies!
First TWW and hopefully I'm understanding everything right.

Month/ cycle: 5/6

CD/DPO: 12/2. I think, going off visual CM and projected O date
Going to start temping CD1

Timing: -5,-4,0

Testing: trying not to but I know curiosity will get the better of me closer to AF

R / R / S : This is the 2nd cycle I've been using OPKS but have yet to get a solid positive. Maybe I'm not ovulating? I know temping will help me with that.
It seems like DH and I always miss the best days to DTD. He's more laid back about TTC than I am and I'm trying not to stress on it.

GTKY : I love the idea of an endless supply of pre-cooked meals! I love watching the Food Network but cooking is one of my least favorite things to do.

JournoGrl23

@pretzel2plus1 I crochet too! I've been wanting to make those little stuffed animals for a long time now, but still don't know how to do them. My best friend is an expert at crocheting and can make anything. Right now I can make tons of different scarfs and little flowers to put on them. I've been trying to make a hat forever, but it either could fit the top of a wine bottle (I turned one into a wine bottle topper, actually) or it just turns into a huge flat circle. I can't seem to actually make the hat. And I agree, you can never have too much yarn!

@AmMcc12 It's so much fun! It was actually pretty easy to learn and scarfs or pot holders and things like that are easy to make (I haven't been able to do the harder stuff yet). I had my aunt and friend teach me, but I'm betting there's local craft stores out there that could offer a class or something on how to do it!

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: -3, -1, 0, (and 2 for good measure)

Testing: Not until Thursday. Preferably Friday.

R/R/CS: I've been trying to fight off the feeling that this month has been a wash. I'm not generally a 'feeling' kind of person, but between getting sick for weeks, letting my weight slip, and having to take a break from charting/temping because of sporadic low-grade fevers, I seem to be stuck on the idea that I haven't "done enough" to succeed. I realize it has minimal basis in reality, but it's really throwing me today. 

GTKY: If you could win a lifetime supply of anything, what would it be?
Since all the good answers (books, yarn, caffeine...) have been claimed, I would like a lifetime supply of these things, to be delivered to my hand instantaneously, whenever the previous one gets misplaced, broken, or fuses together after being forgotten on the counter overnight (I'M NOT ANGRY, YOU'RE ANGRY!): 

Shameless newbie etiquette question: This is my first check in. Do most people participate daily, or just when something of note happens? I don't want to accidentally spam...

@JournoGrl23 I love finding fellow crocheters! I read something a while back about hat sizing, and it really helped me understand how to make them curve into a hat shape at at the right point for the size you want. I'll see if I can find it and PM you the link. 

@AmMcc12 YouTube is also a great resource because you can watch someone make the stitches and repeat the video as many times as you need! 

AmMcc12

@pretzel2plus1 I'll have to check those things out!!

JournoGrl23

@pretzel2plus1 I love finding fellow crocheters as well! And thank you. That article you're talking about sounds perfect.

Yes, @AmMcc12 I second the YouTube suggestion. That's how I learned to make a poof to go on top of the hat! Now I just need to learn the hat...

@DarthFuriosa post whenever your heart desires Have you read the newbie thread yet? I am pointing you there to spare you from the onslaught of criticism if you make a "no-no" post Either way, welcome!

@ally0221 I'm with you. This is my first cycle of BCP and I have no idea where I'm at in my cycle. I was on the pill for 9 years, and I feel like I have every PMS symptom ever. I rarely had any symptoms while on the pill, and it was always easy going for me. All month my body has been going crazy.  I'm pretty much bunkering down for the worst AF ever.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 23/5

Timing: -3 -2 -1 +1

Testing: 12dpo

R/R/CS: My friend introduced me to the world of live YouTube pregnancy tests... I sat and watched them for over an hour while OH was amused at my crying with every girl in the videos that cried happy tears over a bfp.

GTKY: If you could win a lifetime supply of anything, what would it be?

Girl.Scout.Cookies. But I'm already having a hard time pacing myself with the few boxes I have now.

@DarthFurisosa some people post everyday in the TWW/WTO threads, others just post every so often, it just depends on how much venting your want to do

@Mamaperkins  what brand of OPKs are you using? Are you getting any change in the darkness of the test line? I use Wondfos and I have 1-2 days a cycle where the line gets darker (never as dark as the control) but noticeably darker than the rest of the month. My doctor said I can consider this OPK result a positive and it also seems to correlate well with my BBT O date. Some women report they never get a positive with OPKs, but when they start temping, they get a clear temp shift indicating ovulation, so I wouldn't stress to much about your OPK results, use them to make you best judgement about timing of your fertile window and when it doubt, HIO

@ReesaAnne16 @mali0902 Thanks for the info! I like this check-in system a lot. Yep, I read all the newbie threads, lurked a whole bunch, and did the introduction posted. It's just the small subtleties... I'm bad at them
