Testing: Got my first real non-imaginary squinter with fmu this morning!!! It was so faint I wouldn't be surprised if I were imagining it because DH doesn't believe me so I'm probably gonna chill out and test again later tonight or Saturday morning if I can contain myself that long.
R/R/CS: woke up this morning with heartburn (seriously, who wakes up with heartburn?) so I decided to test with a cheapie and got a teensy line so I took a frer and got another squinter!
GTKY: in five words or less, explain how you met your DH or SO you are currently TTGP with.
R/R/CS: I've been sick since the afternoon of CD16 so I can't trust my temps or my crosshairs, and we haven't had sex for three days because I'm sick. Aargh! I wish illnesses wouldn't fall within fertile windows! The one positive in all this is that we had lots of sex until I got sick and I have a short LP (~9) so even if my O date is off, I won't have that long to wait one way or the other.
R/R/CS: Just scared to test. Really don't want to be let down. I have a 14 day LP and my temps tend to gradually decline as AF approaches plus I spot a bit so I might just wait it out.

TTC #1 since July 2015
SA Feb 2016 & May 2016: Excellent count and motility, 3% morphology Surgery Dec 2016: submucosal fibroid removed Awaiting RE appointment
Testing: Not this week. We'll see how I do at self-control next week.
R/R/CS: FF keeps shifting my crosshairs over a day as my temps go up. The result: today is 7 DPO, yesterday was 7 DPO, and the day-before-yesterday was 7 DPO. Someone paused the TWW and I Do. Not. Like. It!
(Chart note because someone asked yesterday about all my open circles: I have insomnia from a brain injury a couple years ago and often wake every 10-30 minutes all night, or starting at some point in the middle of the night. I still temp at the same time every morning (and after lying down all night) because I've found that leads to more consistent temps than if I temp at first waking, but I mark those nights as "sleep deprived" to get FF to open-circle them and given them less weight. Unfortunately not much else I can do about this... but for me, open circles do not mean I'm temping at random times).

Testing: No need
R/R/CS: I've been mostly lurking this TWW, great to see so many BFPs! Although it's still super hard to know that we had no shot this month, I do feel like by keeping up with temping and OPKs (first consistent cycle using both), I know a lot more about my body and I am a lot more prepared for next cycle. I also think that hopefully I am finally regulating after 3 months off BCP. Now I'm just ready for AF to get here so I can start over! Slight temp drop today but still way above the cover line. I know she's coming though, I'm having all of the usual symptoms. And I'm definitely blaming my overnight weight gain on AF!
GTKY: in five words or less, explain how you met your DH or SO you are currently TTGP with. Haha ... Harry Potter watch party
R/R/CS: I haven't ovulated this early since I started charting. It's usually around day 16/17. I'm not totally certain I trust FF's calculation. There's another temp shift around day 17...Actually FF didn't even give me crosshairs on day 12 until day 18. Anyone have any thoughts on my chart?
Also, if FF is right then our timing was definitely less than ideal. I keep telling myself it only takes one time but I feel like this month is a wash. On the brightish side, I often start pre-AF spotting around 12 DPO and no spotting yet. And my temp was high again this morning but last month it stayed high until the day of AF. But then again 13 DPO BFN is probably not a good sign. And neither are the mild cramps that usually start about now pre-AF.
GTKY: in five words or less, explain how you met your DH or SO you are currently TTGP with.
Testing: I caved this morning under pressure from OH. Bfn as I expected.
R/R/CS: I freaking cried last night because I accidentally squeezed OHs finger he smashed at work while I was holding his hand cuddling. I hurt him and HE had to comfort ME... Then I cried even harder when I saw all the mascara I got on his shirt. Wtf. This is normal pms behavior so no symptom spotting... Last month I cried at the damn Nestlé tollhouse commercial where the kid finds out he's going to college and he bakes his mom cookies. I'm a wreck... tww anxiety doesn't help.

Testing: this is my first month temping, so I don't know how long my LP is, but I usually have a 30 day cycle so maybe on Sunday or Monday?
R/R/CS: I love taking my temp and watching it rise every morning. It was so rocky at the beginning of the cycle, but I feel like I have this down now! Also, I had an unusually long for me cycle last month before I started temping. I'm hoping this month is back to normal. Otherwise my estimated FW for next month is when we will be at my in laws house so no BD.
GTKY: in five words or less, explain how you met your DH or SO you are currently TTGP with.
R/R/CS: So I am still having a small amount of spotting, but my temp hasn't dropped any more, and it actually went up a tiny bit today, so for a minute I thought I was the speshulest of speshul snowflaykes and tested this morning.

Hello everyone! This is my first tww post and I'm excited to participate instead of just lurk.
Month/cycle: 6/(1st cycle ttcal)

Timing: -4, -2, 0
Testing: I told myself I wouldn't buy any tests until next week so I wouldn't be tempted to test early. But yesterday at the grocery store they magically appeared in my basket. Magic.
R/R/CS: I hate waiting. Hate. Hate. Hate. On the bright side tonight is my husbands Christmas concert. Yay! (He is a band director). Also I hate this app today. I've typed this out 4 times and it won't publish all my words so I just look rediculous.

@jmr1515 I know how you feel about being scared to test. I waited till 14dpo this cycle and only did then because DH was pestering me. I hate seeing the negatives.
@Sweettart85 Sorry about the BFN, I get super emotional with pms as well. I’m going to die of dehydration when the hallmark Christmas commercials start.
R/R/CS: Temp dropped to right above coverline this morning. Just waiting for AF to rear her ugly head at some point today. I swear the uteruses (uterii?) know that we are watching them and do abnormal shit just to throw us off. Every single (non-BC) period of my life has started at the ass crack of dawn, until I started charting of course.

CD/DPO: 30/12
Timing: -3,-2,O
Testing: BFN yesterday, will test tomorrow if no AF.
R/R/CS: Still no AF, and no spotting since yesterday afternoon. My temp is still above coverline. I have an appt with my OB today so hopefully she can give me some answers. I'm so afraid that if I do get a BFP there's something wrong because of all the spotting I've had.

Testing plans: Nope nope nope. FF changed its mind, and now suggests Dec. 8. That seems too soon...
R/R/CS: Really hoping I don't have any early spotting this cycle. That was horrible last time, and it started at 7 DPO. My temps have been weirdly stable since O, except one day when I woke up with DH smothering me. Maybe I am finally getting the hang of this.

CD/DPO: CD44 DPO: Who knows!!! I am still trying to get my body back to normal after BC. I have had several positive OPK's this cycle.
Timing: I'm still new to this... could not figure out what this means... If it has to do with temping, then I have not started yet, I plan to next cycle.
Testing: I took a test around CD28, CD31 and CD37 all BFNs, Since my last cycle was 45 days I feel like AF is about there be here.
R/R/CS: Again could not figure what this one is either
GTKY: in five words or less, explain how you met your DH or SO you are currently TTGP with.
@jenniferd0527 : Timing is when you had sex with your significant other (or when an IUI was done), usually in relation to when you ovulated. You usually ovulate within a day after getting a positive OPK so you could say that your "O" date is one date after your positive OPK. Then if you've kept track of when you've had sex, you can put in when you did it in relation to the O day. So, -3 is that you had sex 3 days before the O.

@Kjcalloway Congrats!!
@michmich11 I agree with the other ladies. Take out the EWCM and see what happens. My best guess is either 17 or 15 with a slow rise.
@severmilli12 Hugs to you lady. You're not out yet though. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that you get your birthday surprise!
Hugs to anyone else who needs some today!
thanks!! I'm still crossing my fingers for it. I texted my DH a few mins ago telling him we were gonna drink all the drinks tonight at dinner since my test was negative...he told me he saw a line on it this morning. I was like "WHAT?!" I looked at it a few minutes after testing and didnt see anything but I was busy getting ready for work and didn't check it at the 5 minute mark....so idk what DH saw but I hope its something. He texted and said, "Was that an evap line I saw then? Because it looked positive to me". So now i'm anxious to get home and see if its an evap line and possibly take another test. I'm thinking he saw an evap line but he was was in the bathroom right after me who knows....gah! The wait!!!
ETA: I asked if the lines were close together or far away, since sometimes Wondfos have that dark line thingy above the max line area and DH just now texted me back...he said the lines weren't very close together, so I'm thinking thats what he saw. Womp womp.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0
Testing: BFN this morning. I'm going to try to hold off until the weekend now.
R/R/CS: I have such a short luteal phase that it makes testing so nerve racking. Last time, I didn't get a positive until the day of my missed AF but she's due in 2 days and I'm not feeling hopeful. Every day I get a BFN feels like such a let down. Plus DH and I got into it last night. We talked everything out but I still feel so emotionally drained right now. This is going to be a long day at work.
GTKY: in five words or less, explain how you met your DH or SO you are currently TTGP with.
@Jenniferd0527 timing is related to Sex around O day. 0=day of ovulation, -=days before (people usually go down to -5) and + = day after (the one day of + is there as a margin of error) It may be hard for you to figure out timing exactly this cycle due to not knowing when you actually O. Definitely recommend temping next cycle of you don't get BFP this time around.
Hi Ladies, just wanted to see what's been going on over here. Sorry to all the BFNS so far. I also wanted to share I got one of those adult coloring books over the weekend and I used it for the first time last night. Now before your minds go to the gutters its not "adult" adult but its not sesame street and disney characters. The images are of all sorts of different stuff but they are supposed to be great tools for stress relief and to help calm the mind. It took me about an hour or so to color the picture I did last night but I really enjoyed it. I could definitely tell that my mind had calmed down some and I wasn't all over the place with everything that has been running through my mind. It was nice too because DH and I were just watching TV together and I was somewhat paying attention to the TV but got kind of lost in the coloring. Highly recommend for anybody looking for some stress/anxiety relief options that are minimal investment. I got mine from Michaels
@sldp123- can you see if you can get in tomorrow maybe for
the RE apt so that you can try to get in while you are still early in your
cycle? I guess you would still be early
enough but if they wanted to do an HSG or something like that getting in sooner
than later would be ideal for something like that this month. Sorry about the
BFN this AM…..
@severmilli12 - I
know this journey is so hard…..and we wish SO many things would be different or
changed or easier. And we wonder so many
things, why us, what’s wrong, what’s going on??
I pray that you are able to find some peace and that you will start
getting some answers with the RE. I have
seriously felt so much better at least knowing that at this point, all of our
parts are working. I know there was
another poster on the infertility board I think that said she and her DH TTC
for over 2 years before going to see anybody only to find out her tubes were
blocked, so they had basically thrown those 2 years out the window. I pray there is nothing wrong with either of
you and its just a timing thing or something like that. I hope that you are able to do something fun
for you birthday and try to enjoy it as best as you can.
@Sweettart85- Sorry
about all the emotions, I have been more and more of an emotional mess the last
2 months right around when AF is due.
Good times. I’m sorry
though. Hang in there!
@FerdieFox- Sorry
about temp drop. I hate waiting on AF to
show when you are pretty certain she’ll be making an appearance. Just show up already!
@jenniferd0527- Welcome! Are you temping? The timing part of the TWW
post is when you had sex, so if it was 3 days before O, you put -3, if it was 2
days before O you put -2 if it was O
date, you put in 0. Also, once
you start to determine how long your LP phase is (the time following O has been
confirmed to when AF starts, for some its as short as 10 days, others can be on
the longer side, 16 days) It may take
you a month or two to figure that out. Most people don’t start testing until at
least 10 days PO for best chances of getting a BFP but some start earlier than
that depending on how they deal with constant BFNS. The R/R.CS is
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk- so if you are happy and you want to share that Rave, or
you are stressing and you need to Rant or you need a chart stalk, you put that
info right there. Some people if they
have a specific question or definitely
want a chart stalk will put that at the
top of their intro with an **** to make sure people look at whatever it is you
want them to see so they can reply if they have input. J
@MNturnsVA When I made the appointment with the RE, I asked when in my cycle would be best, and she said that the first appointment will be basically just a meeting/consultation and they won't do anything so it didn't matter. Which is kind of annoying I guess because it's more wasted time, if they order tests or whatever I guess we will have to schedule those or go back another day? I could have gotten in earlier this week, but I was still holding out hope for a BFP of course, so I wanted to wait. And unfortunately they don't take regular appointments on Friday. Oh well, Monday will be here soon.
@severmilli12 ugh, I hate those things on the Wondfos! I do a double take all the time because it makes it look like there's a line there. Still have fx for you though! Also I think it's cute that your DH knows about evap lines, haha.

Then I cried even harder when I saw all the mascara I got on his shirt. Wtf. This is normal pms behavior so no symptom spotting... Last month I cried at the damn Nestlé tollhouse commercial where the kid finds out he's going to college and he bakes his mom cookies. I'm a wreck... tww anxiety doesn't help.

Testing: this is my first month temping, so I don't know how long my LP is, but I usually have a 30 day cycle so maybe on Sunday or Monday?
R/R/CS: I love taking my temp and watching it rise every morning. It was so rocky at the beginning of the cycle, but I feel like I have this down now! Also, I had an unusually long for me cycle last month before I started temping. I'm hoping this month is back to normal. Otherwise my estimated FW for next month is when we will be at my in laws house so no BD.

R/R/CS: So I am still having a small amount of spotting, but my temp hasn't dropped any more, and it actually went up a tiny bit today, so for a minute I thought I was the speshulest of speshul snowflaykes and tested this morning. BFN, shocking! Just waiting for AF then I'll be out of here. Getting anxious for our RE appointment Monday, and I finally filled out the paperwork.

@JRB3 Sorry about the BFN, enjoy the wine!
@linnea625 Boo to spotting and yesterday’s BFN.
@Paturkey I hope you start feeling better soon!
@jmr1515 I know how you feel about being scared to test. I waited till 14dpo this cycle and only did then because DH was pestering me. I hate seeing the negatives.
@Sweettart85 Sorry about the BFN, I get super emotional with pms as well. I’m going to die of dehydration when the hallmark Christmas commercials start.

I swear the uteruses (uterii?) know that we are watching them and do abnormal shit just to throw us off.

R/R/CS: Still no AF, and no spotting since yesterday afternoon. My temp is still above coverline. I have an appt with my OB today so hopefully she can give me some answers. I'm so afraid that if I do get a BFP there's something wrong because of all the spotting I've had.

@Kjcalloway Congrats!!
@michmich11 I agree with the other ladies. Take out the EWCM and see what happens. My best guess is either 17 or 15 with a slow rise.

Testing: BFN this morning. I'm going to try to hold off until the weekend now.
R/R/CS: I have such a short luteal phase that it makes testing so nerve racking. Last time, I didn't get a positive until the day of my missed AF but she's due in 2 days and I'm not feeling hopeful. Every day I get a BFN feels like such a let down. Plus DH and I got into it last night. We talked everything out but I still feel so emotionally drained right now. This is going to be a long day at work.

Hi Ladies, just wanted to see what's been going on over here. Sorry to all the BFNS so far. I also wanted to share I got one of those adult coloring books over the weekend and I used it for the first time last night. Now before your minds go to the gutters its not "adult" adult but its not sesame street and disney characters. The images are of all sorts of different stuff but they are supposed to be great tools for stress relief and to help calm the mind. It took me about an hour or so to color the picture I did last night but I really enjoyed it. I could definitely tell that my mind had calmed down some and I wasn't all over the place with everything that has been running through my mind. It was nice too because DH and I were just watching TV together and I was somewhat paying attention to the TV but got kind of lost in the coloring. Highly recommend for anybody looking for some stress/anxiety relief options that are minimal investment. I got mine from Michaels
@sldp123- can you see if you can get in tomorrow maybe for the RE apt so that you can try to get in while you are still early in your cycle? I guess you would still be early enough but if they wanted to do an HSG or something like that getting in sooner than later would be ideal for something like that this month. Sorry about the BFN this AM…..
@severmilli12 - I know this journey is so hard…..and we wish SO many things would be different or changed or easier. And we wonder so many things, why us, what’s wrong, what’s going on?? I pray that you are able to find some peace and that you will start getting some answers with the RE. I have seriously felt so much better at least knowing that at this point, all of our parts are working. I know there was another poster on the infertility board I think that said she and her DH TTC for over 2 years before going to see anybody only to find out her tubes were blocked, so they had basically thrown those 2 years out the window. I pray there is nothing wrong with either of you and its just a timing thing or something like that. I hope that you are able to do something fun for you birthday and try to enjoy it as best as you can.
@Sweettart85- Sorry about all the emotions, I have been more and more of an emotional mess the last 2 months right around when AF is due. Good times. I’m sorry though. Hang in there!
@FerdieFox- Sorry about temp drop. I hate waiting on AF to show when you are pretty certain she’ll be making an appearance. Just show up already!
@jenniferd0527- Welcome! Are you temping? The timing part of the TWW post is when you had sex, so if it was 3 days before O, you put -3, if it was 2 days before O you put -2 if it was O date, you put in 0. Also, once you start to determine how long your LP phase is (the time following O has been confirmed to when AF starts, for some its as short as 10 days, others can be on the longer side, 16 days) It may take you a month or two to figure that out. Most people don’t start testing until at least 10 days PO for best chances of getting a BFP but some start earlier than that depending on how they deal with constant BFNS. The R/R.CS is Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk- so if you are happy and you want to share that Rave, or you are stressing and you need to Rant or you need a chart stalk, you put that info right there. Some people if they have a specific question or definitely want a chart stalk will put that at the top of their intro with an **** to make sure people look at whatever it is you want them to see so they can reply if they have input.
