Re: TWW Monday
I hate replying to my own thread first but don't want to wait until after work to post.
Month/Cycle: 11/11
CD/DPO: 28/14
Timing: EOD
Testing: see below....
R/R/CS: I was fully expecting AF yesterday after two days of major temperature dips; however this am my temp spiked to the highest it's been all cycle. I tested...BPN I temped at 2:30 and make the mistake of looking at it. I was really excited when it was so high; I couldn't go back to sleep for an hour and a half. Then when I tested I was of course disappointed. Why does my body torture me like this?!? I just want to know. I hate being teased.
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? I've always wanted a monkey themed nursery. I love monkeys and it can be either gender. MH has agreed after some persuading:)

I'm getting the 40% off for VIP message from FF. Do you ladies think it's worth it to go VIP or just a bunch of extra noise?
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 29/14
Timing: -3, -1, 0
Testing Plans: BFN this morning.
R/R/CS: Bright white BFN this morning. Temp is still up so I'll probably see AF around Wednesday, if she's keeping up the 15 day LP. I'm definitely bummed. A Christmas pregnancy announcement would've basically been the dream for me (you can pry my Christmas music from my cold, dead hands). And I go back to work today after a long weekend. And it's a Monday. Hey, who's dumb idea was it to test today? I'll be ordering a period present when the witch shows up. Maybe two depending on the mood I'm in when she gets here...
On the bright side, there's an indoor skydiving place in town that we've been saying we would visit since we moved here earlier this year, and you aren't supposed to go if you're pregnant. So we're setting money aside and we'll go skydive in a tube before my next fertile week. I'm really looking forward to it.
GTKY: Yup. A cute and colorful monsters theme. Every month we don't conceive I order a tiny cute monster sculpture from Etsy to put in the someday nursery. When we finally do conceive I'll order a bigger one.
CD/DPO: 24/5
Timing: -3, -1
Testing plans: CD 18 if no AF
R/R/CS: I'm up way too early! I just got off work a few hours ago, took a nap and now I'm waiting for jury duty. Ugh. And because of that I forgot to temp this morning. But I didn't get three hours of sleep anyway so who knows how accurate it would have been.
GTKY: nope. Have some ideas though.
CD/DPO: 5/5
Timing: 0
Testing: Saturday morning if my temps are still high.
R/R/CS: I just really want this to be our month.
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? Yes and No. I was all obsessed when we started trying because I was just SURE we would get pregnant fast. But now, I just want to get our timing right.
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1, O, +1
Testing: Ideally I would hold out to 15 DPO, at which point my semester is over and I could celebrate or drink, depending. Knowing me, 11 or 12 DPO.
R/R/CS: ***Chart Stalk, Please!*** FF moved my crosshairs back to CD 14 today (from CD 15). I get why, with the temp shift... but CD 15 lines up much better with the OPK and CM, I think? Timing was good either way, I just don't like being confused (and part of me is worried I didn't ovulate at all, because I had one day of +OPK on CD14 last cycle too, and didn't actually ovulate until CD32!).
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? I don't know that I'll do a theme with this one, which is odd because I obsessed about it with DS1. Poor third children! We actually don't even know where a third would sleep at this point... though we're working on figuring that out.
CD/DPO: 29/4
Timing: -2, O
Testing: I haven't decided yet.
R/R/CS: Monday, bleh. I really enjoyed my weekend!
GTKY: No theme exactly, but I love soft colors and antique/shabby-chic looking things. I did see an airplane themed nursery on Pinterest that I loved!
**TW**
Testing with RE October 2016
BFP 11/5/2016 ~ EDD 7/19/2016
CD/DPO: 26/10 or 9 (I still think 9 is more likely, chart attached if anyone has an opinion)
Timing: -5,-2,O or -3,-1
Testing: Well, I'm weak and like to torture myself I guess so I tested this morning, BFN. Now I know I should just wait but I doubt I'll be able to, so probably ED until AF if my temps are up.
R/R/CS: I don't know, I just feel out. I had some mild cramping last night and my temp today was almost exactly the same as last month at this time. I don't even know if that means anything, but all of that plus the BFN this morning, even though I know it's very early, is just crushing my hope. And it's Monday. I'm in a very negative thought pattern today.
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? No, nothing specific, but probably will do something gender neutral in case I succeed in convincing DH to have a second (third for me, I have a DS from a previous marriage).

BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: -3, -1, 0
Testing: I tested yesterday and today...bfn's.
R/R/CS: Little pissy over my bfns. By now you'd think I'd be use to it. DH has his SA today and I feel both relieved and completely anxious at the same time. I'm glad that we're taking the first steps to hopefully getting me pregnant soon, but I'm nervous that the results won't be good. I need to just chill. Our RE appt is a week from today also, which is stressing me out.
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? We do. We want to do a nautical theme with mainly octopuses and whales. We've also considered a Space theme since DH and I are Space nerds.

Timing: -4, -2, O
Testing: BFN
R/R/CS: ugh, my temp is back up a little today. At 15DPO (assuming O date is correct), the negative is pretty final, so I'd just like to move on. Andplusalso I'm pretty sure 16 is the max of what is considered a "normal" LP, so if AF doesn't come tomorrow, then O date must be wrong, right? I kind of want to ram my head against the wall. I'm making myself feel better by ruthlessly charting PMS symptoms so that they won't get hopes up in the future!
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery?
Nope. I'm too superstitious. No nursery themes or names until BFP (or probably trimester 2) if I'm so lucky as to get there one day. I am trying to clean out crap from the room that will hopefully be the nursery one day little by little.

CD/DPO: 29/?
Timing: -4, -3, -2, +2 (?)
Testing: Thursday if no AF (one week from last BFN)
R/R/CS: I just want to say that I'm so glad that I found this community to be involved with/lurk on while I was getting ready to TTC and now. Last night, I couldn't sleep and was bored, so lurked on another TTC forum and was totally appalled at what I read there. Countless posts claiming to have "pregnancy symptoms" at 3DPO, photos of clear BFNs begging other people to see a nonexistent line and worst of all, actual photos of CM for analysis (SERIOUSLY WTF).
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? We're really into hiking/outdoor adventuring so I love the idea of a forest theme. But not just any forest - the Forbidden Forest from HP.

BFP 5/17/16 | EDD 1/27/17 | Born 2/4/17
CD/DPO: CD 32/ DPO ? (not temping anymore)
Timing: ?
Testing: We made a last-minute trip up to visit the in-laws and attend a family funeral, and we don't get home til Tuesday night. So, I'll test Weds if AF hasn't arrived, but I'm guessing AF will be here by then
R/R/CS: I have been a bit calmer since I stopped charting all the things, and I've mostly been focusing on our move and new job next year, but now that I'm close to when AF should be here, I am SS like crazy! And I KNOW every single "symptom" could just be a part of PMS, but it is driving me a little crazy. Like @LittleMissTimeLord I'm dreaming of a Christmas announcement to our parents (probably wouldn't tell too many others that soon). And, my DH's grandma just passed away and he mentioned how excited she was to have great-grandchildren (one of his cousins has 2 kids), and that just made me feel bad because I had been hoping we'd get KU and could tell her (we knew she wasn't going to last much longer). SO, I think just being around all of the family and thinking of Christmas with all of my cousins' babies has made me a little crazy, too.
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? Not really. I have some Lion King cels from when the Lion KIng DVD was released that I thought about incorporating, maybe with some other Disney prints.

@LittleMissTimeLord - *hugs* The monster sculptures sound cute, and tell me more about this period present concept... I'm thinking I need to get on that train... I also agree with @lgem4 about FF and outing the symptoms in.
@JournoGrl23 - OMG, thank you! You just reminded me that I have jury duty this week or next! I need to verify the day the next time I get up and clearly set some reminders in my calendar! Also, I'm tired just hearing that! Less than 3 hours of sleep?!
@lgem4 - I'm glad you're starting to feel better, FX for a fast recovery! And so sorry for your loss. It sounds like a nice nursery. *hugs*
@BaileyM321 - FF's CHs look good to me, but when in doubt, HIO, right?
@sldp123 - *hugs*. Sorry you're feeling so down today.
@severmilli12 - FX for good SA results!

Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 32/14
Timing: -3, -1
Testing: UGH, probably going to end up at the store today anyway. Might wander over and pick up ten boxes so I can pee on all of them just for good measure...
R/R/CS: I started cramping Saturday night and they got a little more intense yesterday. Woke up this am fully expecting AF, but nothing. I'm not cramping anymore, not spotting (I normally spot for a day or so before AF), and my temp is still higher than most of my post-o temps.
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? I have several that I wish it were possible to combine. I love the woodland theme with the foxes and owls and will most likely end up with that since my mom started buying stuff the first time we were TTC. I really love all the geeky nurseries though and would love to have a Doctor Who, or Harry Potter theme. Also, H is a pilot and we saw the cutest aviation theme a few weeks ago that we both loved as well. It is going to be so hard to decide if/when we get a BFP.
Month/Cycle: 2/2 TTCAL
CD/DPO: 20/5
Timing: -3, -2, O
Testing: I'll test Friday at 9dpo and probably every day after that... Actually, who am I kidding. I'll probably start at 8dpo. I have a lot of wondfo's ! And also, I KNOW that is early but I got bfp's both of my previous pregnancies at 8dpo.
R/R/CS: I know this isn't the case for everyone but TWW goes so much faster for me than WTO. So I am mostly content. The BSC is already creeping in though and I find myself wondering things like how will I cover up my pregnancy at my department Christmas party this weekend.. Just trying to stay calm and not get my hopes up too much.
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? Nope. I'm not a nursery theme kind of girl. I prefer a plain nursery and save our money for when we redecorate as a toddler room with stuff we actually know LO likes.

TTC #2: April 2018 ~~ BFP: May 2018 ~~ EDD: January 2019
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: -4, -3, -1, O
Testing: Like the total newb that I am, I couldn't help myself and tested yesterday & today even though I knew that they would both be negative. I'm hoping to be more strong-willed for the next cycle, assuming this one doesn't pan out.
R/R/CS: Nothing for today. Can I rant at myself for being stupid and testing today? ; )
WORF: I did not come here to admire the scenery.
DAX: If you say so. I guess we should just go home.
WORF: Well maybe. I would not be so hasty.
DAX: I take it the scenery has improved?
WORF: A few months ago, when I was commanding the Defiant on a scouting mission in the Gamma Quadrant, we encountered a protostar cluster, a swirling mass of colour set against a background of glowing clouds and burning sky. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, until now.
DAX: I've got to take you on vacation more often.
Month/Cycle: 11/8
CD/DPO: 25/13
Timing: -4,-3, O, +2
Testing: BFNs the past couple of days. I have no willpower!
R/R/CS: I suppose I either didn't ovulate when FF thinks I did or my LP has changed post MC because I normally have a 12 day LP with spotting on 11DPO but I'm now 13DPO and nothing. Because with all the BFNs those are definitely more likely options than "pregnant but can't turn a +HPT" Can someone chart stalk and tell me if it looks like I O'd later than FF says I did? Otherwise I'll assume I'm now on a 14 day LP.
My Ovulation Chart
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? DH and I are planning to do a woodland theme kinda like this or maybe this without the fairies and such. ETA: We're certainly not paying someone to paint a mural or anything. This hypothetical maybe baby has a budget! DH is great with art though and really has his mind/heart set on painting the nursery in a mural.
ETA#2: @LittleMissTimeLord I personally really enjoy having the FF VIP membership. I was able to get a very reasonable deal on it and no regrets. I'll probably buy more VIP days when it starts looking like I'll definitely need them. 70 left at the moment and I'm holding out hope I won't need to buy more since that's another 3 cycles if they keep being nice, short and normal.

Testing: tomorrow if no AF
R/R/CS: another temp drop today, I'm pretty sure I'm out this month. I'm going to make an appt with my OB to discuss the pattern of spotting prior to AF and short LP and see about possibly low progesterone. I can't help but wonder if that had any impact on my loss.
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery?
Not really. DS's was bears in light Browns and whites. It was really simple and pretty. I'm sure I'll do something neutral again.

Timing: thinking we blew our chances this month
Testing: not testing, just waiting

No theme picked out, especially since we currently live with his parents and are desperately looking for something of our own.

Timing: -5, -2, -1
Testing: None
R/R/CS: I expected my period to start yesterday because I usually have a 13 day LP, but still nothing, not even spotting. I know it's coming, though, because I have two low temps. I just want it to start so I can get going on my next cycle.
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery?
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: -4, -2, 0
Testing: I was originally planning on testing Friday (15DPO) but I have a feeling that this won't be our month (this is 100% gut feeling, as I haven't been temping over the weekend due to holiday travel). I wanted to test on Friday because I was planning on drinking, but now I think I'm going to skip the booze regardless of the outcome, so I think I'll wait until FF suggests testing, which is Tuesday the 8th or 19 DPO, unless of course AF shows before then, which seems pretty likely.
R/R/CS:
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? Definitely not. I'm incredibly cautious of making plans for things that just might not come to be. I want to get pregnant first - one step at a time!
CD/DPO: 35/14
Timing: -2
Testing: Tested on Thanksgiving at 10 DPO and got a BFN, said I'd wait until Wednesday to test again, but might wait until Friday if no AF
R/R/CS: I'm only three months off BCP and still have no regulation on my cycles - so although I'd love to think that I haven't gotten AF yet because I'm pregnant, it's more a case of my PCOS kicking in and extending my cycles. So I'm not testing again to keep the hope alive/not see that ugly whiteness show on a test. I'm not sure which is worse - but right now I'm sticking to it. Will test Friday if no AF though as have DH's holiday party come Saturday.
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? Haven't thought about it yet - but day dream constantly about how I'd tell DH and our parents.
Month/Cycle: 5/6
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: -5, -4, -2, 0, +1
Testing: none
R/R/CS: Huuuuuge temp dip this morning, so AF should be here today or tomorrow. Trying to stay positive that this is the longest LP I've had since my Mirena was removed in July, so that's a great sign. But it's rough.
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? No, I'm not exactly a "theme" type of person.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 21/5 (supposedly... I'm even less convinced now...)
Timing: -4, -2, O, +1, +2, +4...
Testing: 18DPO if that ever happens.
R/R/CS: I feel like FF is being a little too optimistic, and I haven't really O'd yet. The last time I went off BC (12-week pill both then and now), my first cycle off was about 45 days I already think it's highly unlikely for me to O so early on CD16 this first cycle off BC, and now that I have this big temp drop, I think it's even less likely that it happened. I believe that my temps are pretty accurate, as I've been careful about the stuff that messes you up (temp time, alcohol, etc.) and I have a good thermometer. If anyone wants to chart stalk, I'd really appreciate it.
GTKY: Do you have a theme picked out for future little one's nursery? I'm not much of a theme person. My theme will probably be "baby." Or "adorable." Or "Target.com."

R/R/CS: So here I am, waiting around for AF, that bitch. Temp drop this morning. Not past cover line like I had expected, but close. Have had some "spotting"...it's more just brown cm here and here. Some red yesterday. Not enough for a tampon (btw, has anyone seen those period panties that claim you don't even need to use a pad or tampon with? I nearly barfed.) I'm just so frustrated. All these BFNs, no AF, pregnancy announcements for days. Feeling down.

@mali0902 - I'm glad your timing is good even if your O date is off. Ours definitely isn't because I was traveling without DH. Which might very well happen again next month. *bangs head on wall*. At least I have no travel without DH scheduled after that in the future. (Though I'll have to make one trip in Jan for sure.)
