@FerdieFox Thank you! For the EPO, you only take it during the follicular phase. Once you ovulate, you should stop taking it, as the interwebs say it can cause uterine contractions, and you don't want that during your luteal phase. I took it from CD2 through O. Getting a temp jump the morning after O confirmed I should stop taking it. The internet will also tell you to take a crazy high dosage (like 1500-2000mg), but I found the smallest dose I could (500 mg) and just took one pill daily during the follicular phase. It made a big difference for my ewcm! HTH!
Testing: My cheapies never got here so I'll get my $ back today. I bought some of the curved handle FRERs, but I'm super wary of testing too early with those. Maybe Monday/13dpo or 15dpo.
R/R/CS: I believe FF about my O date now (CD42) and my temp is down to 99.1 today from 99.8. H is getting a cold so maybe he was trying to pass it to me. I hope this is short-lived for him. We have a lot to do the next 2 weeks that would be much more easily done while healthy.
GTKY: I found an amazing J.Crew wool blanket scarf at over half off. It's way too warm to wear it here so wearing it may be my consolation prize moving away to cold weather next month.

R/R/CS: Temp went up again this morning, but had a ton of watery CM yesterday. What's up with that?!
GTKY: Did you/will you go shopping in the sales? If so what bargains did you buy/hoping to buy? I did the majority of my Xmas shopping on cyber Monday, got some pretty good deals from Amazon and toys r us. I have a few gift cards that I'm thinking of using but for the most part I am done shopping for a while.
R/R/CS: Was going to test at 12dpo but I'm frustrated enough this month with my disaster chart so I'd rather not add to the disappointment in seeing a BFN. I'd rather see AF. Not confident anymore with FF's O day anyway since my chart looks like the Rocky Mountains so I'll just wait for AF to arrive.
GTKY: Did you/will you go shopping in the sales? If so what bargains did you buy/hoping to buy?
I'm all shopped out from Christmas shopping. Want to avoid malls for a while!
R/R/CS: AF should be here today so I'm just waiting on all that fun before I move over to WTO... *twiddles thumbs*
Does anyone else's brain take umbrage with our use of CD/DPO instead of DPO/CD? I start to write this in the wrong order every time.
GTKY: I had some Kohl's cash so we took that and the email coupons to get some new clothes. Oh and I got an Amazon gift card for Christmas so I had fun with that shopping. I spent days adding and removing stuff from my cart before spending some of it.

Is anyone else suddenly getting incessant and loud ads from the sidebar on desktop viewing?
I've never had this problem on the forums before but every new ad is coming louder than the one before (even if I mute the one before it) and slowing the site down like crazy for me. And the audio of the ads is playing on the New Discussion page, where there isn't even an ad box on the page.
@ashbear720 Congratulations! @blonde1817 I do the same calendar date we started TTC/got my BC withdraw bleed, which was the 24th (of March).

@housewifehobbyist@DDRRT1982 I'm in the UK so luckily we don't have the curved FRER's so these dodgy tests were all in the straight handled FRERs. So basically I now think all FRERs are a holes. We don't have dollar tree's but I'll get plain old supermarket ones in the future and they are so much cheaper!
@MNturnsVA that must be so confusing for you! Sorry about the BFN but let's see what tomorrow says! You're not out yet
@severmilli12 sorry about the BFN, there is still time, FX for you
@Mrsdho11 wwaaaayyyy good to see you in TWW! First of all let me just say that I'm impressed with you and the others BD'ing in the early hours, I've been asleep for a fair while by that point I'd probably log it as the day that just passed. I too prefer TWW to WTO.
@iceandsnowflakes29 it's awful isn't it and soooo confusing! I'm hating the FRER's right now, id prefer using something that either gives me an actual line or nothing at all...pretend lines are horrendous. FX yours is legit.
@LizaKate1213 Thank you! EPO = evening primrose oil CC: @dogmomwantinghuman - I didn't know what it was either until I started using TB. Had to google it myself and decided 'what the heck, I'll just try it and see what happens.'
R/R/CS: I think I belong here. I played with my chart a bit, and discarded a really high temp from L waking me up early, and I now have dotted CH.
GTKY: Did you/will you go shopping in the sales? If so what bargains did you buy/hoping to buy? I am hoping to get a large number of Pyrex bake/store bowls & pans. my house is too small for anything else.
Congrats @ashbear720 ! That is exciting. Hopefully the lines get darker tomorrow.

Thanks everyone who offered an opinion on my question! Looks like most of you go with “have I gone to sleep yet? Yes/no” so I’ll make that switch in tomorrows post, moving my timing to -2,-1.
@babymish - so many *hugs*. Stupid FRERs!!!! I can totally see testing on NYE even though I’m sure you’re just emotionally drained and tested out. I keep having to tell myself that NYE would be a waste of a test for me, and not to bother. If I was on your end of the TWW, I probably couldn’t resist.
@housewifehobbyist - By “I’ve only been temping since 14dpo,” did you mean you'd only been temping since CD14? Just checking because I’m a little confused and don’t see a chart to stalk.
@blonde1817 - I do calendar month, I guess. Though we started late in the month, and my cycles are long, so that gap is going to only widen between the two numbers as we go. Sorry for the BFNs and takeout chart. *hugs* Last cycle FF told me my chart was “possibly triphasic” which doesn’t really mean anything if it was true, but it definitely got my hopes up.
@laurenlalap - FX that you’re feeling better soon!
@MNturnsVA - sorry for the BFN, and I hope your body figures out what’s going on shortly. Do you have a chart for us to look at? Is there any chance your O date was off?
@severmilli12 - *hugs* Those are so tough to eat with.
@nys27 - My temps were definitely wonky too. I hope you’re not out, but *hugs* either way. I think it’s been such a stressful month to be TTC.
@iceandsnowflakes29 - sorry for the fakeouts followed by BFNs. That’s awful. I buy my tests usually through Amazon, and I have this constant worry in my head that the shipping is going to F them up, even though they ship from wherever they’re made to wherever they’re sold anyway when you bought them from the store!
@jparli - solid CH = yaaay!!!! And happy birthday to you!
@KayJDT3 - Sorry for the BFN, news would have been nice, but definitely early. That shoveling sounds like no fun.
@zrain - Ugh, I know that struggle to stay calm and not get your hopes up too much! I think just try to find something to fill the time. I just ordered myself some adult coloring books the others have talked about, and I’m hoping that they’ll be mind clearing this TWW.
@beary67 - I was lazy yesterday too— I blamed it on post travel jet lag, but now I went to the gym this morning and I’m fighting off the desire for another lazy day. Maybe I can get away with a nap and then regain the rest of my day…
@ashbear720 - congrats! FX that the line just keeps getting darker!
@cwirth89 - Glad you got the trigger confirmed out. GL holding out until Sunday!
@shaami1986 - Ugh, sorry. I hate hearing that even second hand. *hugs* I wouldn’t worry about a temp drop on 5DPO.
@mrsdee15 - Sorry about impending AF. If she’s really on her way, then I hope she gets it over with and you get to move onto the next cycle soon.
@simcal18 - FX that you’re able to move to the next cycle soon!
@alicedavid2013 - FX that you wind up with some good news for MIL.
@fitlady21 - FX that AF arrives before you hit CD60 and your body evens out to something more predictable!
@PeggyOlsonFTW - are you a name change? Or is TB fucking with profile pictures again, I wonder? FX that the time passes well until you can test again.
@H4aPartyof5 - I’m sorry that the weather is going to be crappy, but hopefully you can get some beach viewing out of windows and find it relaxing.
@FerdieFox - Sorry for the BFN, even if was expected. Deep breaths!
@JRB3 - Even without O day, your timing is good (I hope! Because it matches mine…)!
@virginiaham - That’s annoying that your cheapies never came! What gives, Seller?!
@LizaKate1213 - I’m pretty sure that Post O CM is pretty much a crapshoot!
@kfair001 - Sorry that you’re frustrated and your chart is confusing. *hugs*
@littleMissTimeLord - Sorry to hear that. Enjoy all the wine, preferably in the style of Amy Schumer in your siggy. *hugs*
@hunnybunny17 - That’s what I did, but it sounds like more people on here do it the other way, so I’ll probably switch it. *shrug* not a huge deal, and I don’t think it will be a regular problem!
@Kate08Young - that’s a crazy chart, for sure. That’s a decent stretch of elevated temps though, so FX that you do belong here!

@MrsDho11 you got me! Sorry, yes, this cycle I didn't start temping until cd14. I wasn't going to at all (I got hit with a strong depression episode after a cp earlier this month) but I ended up feeling up to it mid-cycle and I'm glad I did since I ovulated a week later than usual this month. Now at least I won't have to deal with extra feelings from being a week "late" in January. To be honest I'm all feelingsed out right now.
(adding a chart stalk if anyone cares to look, since I'm guessing at O day)
@babymish - Thanks! And believe me, that is not my usual and was travel related. I'm normally up at 5:30am, so I'd have been asleep for hours at that point. But we were traveling in a different time zone, and trying to find a time when we could BD without the ILs noticing...

I noticed that too....one of the regulars in TWW and WTO had their profile pic in the bump admins profile. And it was a clear shot of their face. @MrsDho11
@ashbear720 Congratulations! Month/Cycle: 12/8 or 5/5 temping/charting/opks/etc.
CD/DPO: 22/2.
Timing: -4, -2, O
Testing Plans: I'm going to try to make myself wait till my period is late or at least until the day of my expected period. If my temps are still up and looking good that morning I'll test. If I get my normal AF temp drop that morning I'll know to wait and skip testing. Realistically, I'll cave and test around 11DPO because I have no willpower. Also:
R/R/CS: I'm a little worried that by posting here before CHs I'm going to jinx it. I halfway expect to wake up in the morning to a huge temp drop, not get my CHs and realize my body tricked me (again!) with it's stupid "oh hey look you totes O'd!" troll. I also posted in WTO so hopefully that balances things out. haha
GTKY: Did you/will you go shopping in the sales? If so what bargains did you buy/hoping to buy?? I haven't gone bargain shopping yet but I'm actually planning to go shopping later today. Since DH didn't get to see his family for Christmas and just made NY plans with them instead we put off buying their presents. So now I have to go buy presents for the in-laws before we leave tomorrow to go visit for NYs. Hopefully I can find some good bargains!

@babymish - yeah, it's super weird and buggy, and I've yet to figure out how/why/when it happens in any sort of reliable manner!

Thanks @babymish and @MrsDho11! The support is super appreciated. Despite the wonky and uninspiring temps, I'm planning to test tomorrow morning (to be safe with NYE and all) and I'm really really hoping that I get good news. Would be a perfect way to ring in the New Year! I'll gladly give up the champagne! But trying not to get too overly excited for obvious reasons....gotta love the TWW!
Testing Plans: Tomorrow morning because it's NYE, otherwise I'd wait until AF was due/late.
R/R/CS: I'm trying very hard not to get my hopes up but I've been a basket case all day. I have this weird feeling in my stomach that I've had before just before getting positive pregnancy tests, I've been emotional all day and just can't relax. Also, my temp stayed high this morning. All this is getting my hopes up when I really don't want to get my hopes up. I feel like I'm going BSC which is why I really try not to SS. I was doing so well until today.
GTKY: Did you/will you go shopping in the sales? If so what bargains did you buy/hoping to buy? DH and I both switched phone plans and ordered new iPhones. That's about it.

@ashbear720- what?!? Holy cow you better update us tomorrow! Still no AF over here- not sure whether I'll test again tomorrow or wait. Going to try to figure out how to attach my chart for tomorrow in case temp is still high.
@ducks6. I usually keep my cool on the ss until about 10 dpo. Then it's like a light switch got flicked! Symptoms everywhere. I go BSC back and forth between logic and hopes. Google searching everything. All the way until cd2 (because cd1 I'm usually in a bit of denial still, but that's getting better.) Either way, what I'm trying to say is that I understand completely.
@br0co1ii Thanks for the understanding. So far I've stayed away from Dr. Google but I think I'm going to go to bed early so the morning will come quicker since I'm testing tomorrow.

@MNturnsVA - sorry for the BFN, and I hope your body figures out what’s going on shortly. Do you have a chart for us to look at? Is there any chance your O date was off?
@severmilli12 - *hugs* Those are so tough to eat with.
@nys27 - My temps were definitely wonky too. I hope you’re not out, but *hugs* either way. I think it’s been such a stressful month to be TTC.
@iceandsnowflakes29 - sorry for the fakeouts followed by BFNs. That’s awful. I buy my tests usually through Amazon, and I have this constant worry in my head that the shipping is going to F them up, even though they ship from wherever they’re made to wherever they’re sold anyway when you bought them from the store!
@XxWhit92xX - Hooray for TWW!
@sldp123 - I’d personally side with FF because of OPKs unless you have some history of turning OPKs positive on the same day as O?
@Lecool - Sorry for the BFN and AF. *hugs*
@jparli - solid CH = yaaay!!!! And happy birthday to you!
@KayJDT3 - Sorry for the BFN, news would have been nice, but definitely early. That shoveling sounds like no fun.
@zrain - Ugh, I know that struggle to stay calm and not get your hopes up too much! I think just try to find something to fill the time. I just ordered myself some adult coloring books the others have talked about, and I’m hoping that they’ll be mind clearing this TWW.
@beary67 - I was lazy yesterday too— I blamed it on post travel jet lag, but now I went to the gym this morning and I’m fighting off the desire for another lazy day. Maybe I can get away with a nap and then regain the rest of my day…
@ashbear720 - congrats! FX that the line just keeps getting darker!
@cwirth89 - Glad you got the trigger confirmed out. GL holding out until Sunday!
@shaami1986 - Ugh, sorry. I hate hearing that even second hand. *hugs* I wouldn’t worry about a temp drop on 5DPO.
@mrsdee15 - Sorry about impending AF. If she’s really on her way, then I hope she gets it over with and you get to move onto the next cycle soon.
@simcal18 - FX that you’re able to move to the next cycle soon!
@alicedavid2013 - FX that you wind up with some good news for MIL.
@fitlady21 - FX that AF arrives before you hit CD60 and your body evens out to something more predictable!
@PeggyOlsonFTW - are you a name change? Or is TB fucking with profile pictures again, I wonder? FX that the time passes well until you can test again.
@H4aPartyof5 - I’m sorry that the weather is going to be crappy, but hopefully you can get some beach viewing out of windows and find it relaxing.
@FerdieFox - Sorry for the BFN, even if was expected. Deep breaths!
@JRB3 - Even without O day, your timing is good (I hope! Because it matches mine…)!
@virginiaham - That’s annoying that your cheapies never came! What gives, Seller?!
@LizaKate1213 - I’m pretty sure that Post O CM is pretty much a crapshoot!
@kfair001 - Sorry that you’re frustrated and your chart is confusing. *hugs*
@littleMissTimeLord - Sorry to hear that. Enjoy all the wine, preferably in the style of Amy Schumer in your siggy. *hugs*
@hunnybunny17 - That’s what I did, but it sounds like more people on here do it the other way, so I’ll probably switch it. *shrug* not a huge deal, and I don’t think it will be a regular problem!
@Kate08Young - that’s a crazy chart, for sure. That’s a decent stretch of elevated temps though, so FX that you do belong here!

TEAM: PINK!!
Month/Cycle: 12/8 or 5/5 temping/charting/opks/etc.
CD/DPO: 22/2.
Timing: -4, -2, O
Testing Plans: I'm going to try to make myself wait till my period is late or at least until the day of my expected period. If my temps are still up and looking good that morning I'll test. If I get my normal AF temp drop that morning I'll know to wait and skip testing. Realistically, I'll cave and test around 11DPO because I have no willpower. Also:
R/R/CS: I'm a little worried that by posting here before CHs I'm going to jinx it. I halfway expect to wake up in the morning to a huge temp drop, not get my CHs and realize my body tricked me (again!) with it's stupid "oh hey look you totes O'd!" troll. I also posted in WTO so hopefully that balances things out. haha
GTKY: Did you/will you go shopping in the sales? If so what bargains did you buy/hoping to buy?? I haven't gone bargain shopping yet but I'm actually planning to go shopping later today. Since DH didn't get to see his family for Christmas and just made NY plans with them instead we put off buying their presents. So now I have to go buy presents for the in-laws before we leave tomorrow to go visit for NYs. Hopefully I can find some good bargains!
Edit: words are hard.

FET #1: November 4, 2016
BFP: November 13, 2016
EDD: July 25, 2017
CD/DPO: 28/10
Timing: 0
Testing Plans: Tomorrow morning because it's NYE, otherwise I'd wait until AF was due/late.
R/R/CS: I'm trying very hard not to get my hopes up but I've been a basket case all day. I have this weird feeling in my stomach that I've had before just before getting positive pregnancy tests, I've been emotional all day and just can't relax. Also, my temp stayed high this morning. All this is getting my hopes up when I really don't want to get my hopes up. I feel like I'm going BSC which is why I really try not to SS. I was doing so well until today.
GTKY: Did you/will you go shopping in the sales? If so what bargains did you buy/hoping to buy? DH and I both switched phone plans and ordered new iPhones. That's about it.
