Re: TWW Wednesday
Cd/DPO: 26/5 --- maybe CD 1
Timing: -3,-1, O
Testing: I think I'm calling CD 1 today so not.
R/R/C: I didn't get a positive OPK until CD 21. (Tested from cd 10 and on) So, if this spotting, which picked up this morning, decides to continue along this path, my luteal phase as a whopping 5 days. Time to pull out my BBT.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?!
I'm doing well on two. I really need to find a way to be more patient with my three year old. Breathing techniques or something. Wooosaaaa moments... ? I'm doing great on my business resolution though so yay!

R/R/C: Holy temp spike, Batman! This chart is so different than last month.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions? I'm doing ok. I could be doing better with healthy eating (some days are harder than others) but I've cut back on drinking and I think that in conjunction with acupuncture have helped me get in a better mental state.

CD/DPO: 26/13
Timing: -1, 0
Testing: tomorrow if no AF
R/R/CS: Woke up to a fairly significant temp drop this morning. Meh.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?! Also, meh. I didn't have a resolution per say, but I did happen to start a new diet/exercise program at the end of December. Travel for work threw me off last week and now I'm trying to get myself back on track. I have a trip at the end of Feb with DH and some friends which will almost definitely require a bathing suit, so I need to get in business stat! (If only I could just get my BFP before then so I have an excuse!
Married: May 2008
TTC #1 since August 2015
FET #1: November 4, 2016
BFP: November 13, 2016
EDD: July 25, 2017
Cd/DPO: 24/9
Timing: very good
Testing: Friday for drinking (my patience is wavering)
R/R/C: I got a temp spike today, but my chart looks similar to last month so need it to do something interesting.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?!
I can't even remember if I made any so I'm gonna say not great
Edited to add: I just got home and went to use the bathroom and I have the tiniest little dot of pink blood. I'm not sure if my will power can overcome this I'm feeling weak to test.
TEAM: PINK!!
Cd/DPO: 18/3
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing: I always say I'm going to wait it out until AF, let's see how that works out this cycle
R/R/C: So I'm back! Every time I promise myself I'm not going to be a crazy person this cycle but the moment I see crosshairs, it's like a switch flips and all rational thought goes out the window. Here's hoping I can keep it in check this cycle.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?! Major fail. Said I was going to be more active in church, haven't been yet this year. It's hard to get motivated when I'm getting off of a crazy 12+ hour shift!
Cd/DPO: 26/12
Timing: -5, -1, 0
Testing: I'm saying no more, but I bet I'll test again tomorrow (if AF doesn't come today). BFNs all around.
R/R/C: I think I'm finally willing to admit that I am actually out this cycle. A bit of a temp drop this morning, and suddenly the pinching cramps that I have had feel more like AF cramps.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?!
Didn't make any for the year, decided to start small and just make goals for January. I've been doing a lot better at eating more whole grains and vegetables. My no fast food goal went down the toilet yesterday.
Month/cycle: 4/2
Cd/DPO: 33/8
Timing: -4, -1
Testing: Feb 1, next Monday!
R/R/C: Had a bad dream. Being KU with twins was involved.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?!
We are newlyweds (~6 months) and I resolved to strive to be a better wife/partner. Some days I do better than others, but as long as I keep trying, that's all that counts!
Cd/DPO: 46/LOL
Timing: All the days!
Testing: Who am I kidding.
R/R/C: I think I broke FF. It's now just telling me every day that the subsequent day is supposed to be CD1.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?! I don't do New Year's resolutions, but we are 100% in honeymoon mode. 56 days until departure!!

Cd/DPO: 24/6
Timing: -5, -3, -1, +1
Testing: Waiting for AF...
R/R/C: My boobs are aching and my lower back is hurting. The same thing has happened each cycle I have been off BC, so I keep telling myself I'm out this month. I know it's too early to tell, but every time I've had these symptoms before, I have not been pregnant, so I am feeling pretty down today.
GTKY: I have been doing good! My resolution was 1) stop drinking Diet Coke--which I have done...and 2) learn how to use my camera by taking a picture a day and collecting the pictures in a blog. I have so far been successful at this too!

Team Blue X 2!
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Testing: Saturday
R/R/CS: My level of BSC has reached epic proportions. I'm 7dpo.... And my urine is dark (just worked out and probably dehydrated), I have cramps (I always get them about 4 days before AF), and I'm nauseas (again- just worked out). If I can rationalize in text, why can't I make my brain listen to itself!? Oh, I also had a temp spike of over 1 degree from my O day (newsflash, brain: you have a jump of almost 1 degree every month... So the fact that it's over 1 degree means nada). Oh... And I peed on an OPK this am... Because I told my DH I wouldn't take a pregnancy test until Saturday. I see a test line... So I'm obviously KU. Chart is in my siggy if anyone wants to hop aboard my crazy train.
Sorry- I needed to get that crazy out before it ate at my day.
GTKY: I didn't do a New Years Resolution, but in October I deciated myself to getting physically fit and have been working out consistently since. This week I increased the intensity of my workouts because the original program was feeling too easy.
Month/cycle: 2/2 TTCAL
Cd/DPO: 31/13
Timing: -3, -1, O, +1
Testing: Blood test tomorrow
R/R/C: Tired and in a mood.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?
I'm doing ok. My resolution is to be a better partner and more loving in general. I'm still a work in progress.
Cd/DPO: 25/8 (or 9?)
Timing: -2 (or -4, -1)
Testing: BFN this morning (I'm ridiculous), I'd love to say now I'm just gonna wait it out, but I have a million Wondfos and no willpower.
R/R/C: Well, my temp stayed down this morning, so that so-called implantation dip from yesterday? Yeah, not so much. Although I did temp over an hour early because I woke up for no reason. I feel like AF could come any minute, but my LP is always 12 days so who knows. Two low temps in a row is concerning though? Maybe? Chart here: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5d52ad
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?! I didn't make any, so I guess I'm doing great!

Cd/DPO: 25/13
Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0
Testing: I've been testing since 10 dpo with bfns all over the place. My temps are slowly declining so I don't see the point in testing anymore. I won't be testing unless I'm given a reason to. Considering myself out.
R/R/C: Disappointed once again that DH's sperm and my egg apparently hate each other and don't want to hook up.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?! I've failed miserably and I dont even care.

3/15/2015 BFP!
4/15/2015 MMC
2/25/2016 BFP! Hoping for the best!
Cd/DPO: 18/5
Timing: -4, -2, +1 I should really just stop answering this question because it upsets me ever time I write it.
Testing: No plans at all due to timing being god awful...
R/R/C: This is more of a crazy lady observation than anything but I think it qualifies me to jump on the irrational thoughts band wagon with everyone else haha So I was playing around with the "charts like mine" part of FF that resulted in pregnancy. After looking at page after page of charts I noticed that a good portion of them had temp drops before getting a positive test (like a day or two before) So this is f***ing with my mind because I have always seen my temp start dropping and thought "well, that's my sign that I am out" Now I'm going to obsess to the bitter end. Awesome!
GTKY: considering that I didn't really have one, I'm doing great!
Month/cycle: 5/6
Cd/DPO: 23/9
Timing: -4,-2,-1,O,+1
Testing: Only if AF doesn't show, unless I cave on DH's bday Saturday.
R/R/C: Ok, so once again FF changed my CH from solid CH at CD14 to dotted at CD18. I don't buy it because I had the peak OPK on CD14, EWCM leading up to CD14 and that is consistent with prior cycles, not to mention the big temp drop on CD14 as well. We put a new blanket on our bed on CD19 and my temp has been higher since then. This is my first cycle finally temping (started on CD10), so unfortunately I can't compare to prior cycles. I am generally a hot sleeper, and the blanket has made it worse. So now I'm wondering if the higher temps are all a result of that? Any hot sleepers out there experience this? Chart is below - I'd love your thoughts!
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?! I made a boring resolution to try at least 2 new recipes a month, and so far I've tried 4 new ones!
Month/cycle: 9/8
Cd/DPO: 31/12. possibly 10
Timing: good (I thought)
Testing: bfn this morning.
R/R/C: silly me to think that eod (our schedules finally worked well!) would automatically result in a bfp. I was really thinking this may be it.i think I'm going to add evening primrose oil after the discussion the other day.
*********
I started taking fish oils about 2 weeks ago.
Has anyone added them or found good research supporting it for fertility? It's good for overall health so will continue regardless but have found some articles saying it can help but wondering if there's valid research behind it?
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?!
I don't remember exactly what my goals were. Haha. But I'm happy with my year so far.
@PeggyOlsonFTW fx'ed it's a good sign!
Month/cycle: 3/3 (1TTCAL)
Cd/DPO: 24/3
Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0
Testing: Too soon to think about it.
R/R/C: FINALLY got crosshairs! YAYYYYY! Still having O-like pain on both sides. Anyone else have this so late after O? Could someone please tell my BSC that my amplified O pain is not a sign that my ute produced like 5 eggs this month! I may have Googled crazy things about O pain and multiples....
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?!
Eh. I didn't really set a NY resolution. I was going to try to juice twice a week, but I fell off that wagon this week. DH and I have also been trying to go to the gym together at least twice a week, and we've been doing fairly decent about that.

R/R/C: After a slight dip yesterday, temp went back up today so I tested. Faint second line but a line is a line, right? I only had one test in the house so I’ll be stopping on my way home from work. I’m still a little leery, I have bad AF type cramps. I’m anxious to retest this evening. For now, off to Amazon to buy all the books!
GTKY: I’m about 60% on my resolutions. I consider that good!

@cwirth89 Happy golden birthday! Yay for a positive mood!
Cd/DPO: 29/8
Timing: -6. Blah.
Testing: None - Waiting for AF
R/R/CS: I knew our timing was awful this month, so I'm just waiting for AF so I can start the next cycle. I bought some EPO and CB Advanced OPKs over the weekend to prepare for next month. I liked the OPK cheapies, but with our schedules, I want to try the advanced OPKs to see if I could get a little extra warning when O is coming so that we can plan accordingly.
GTKY: it's almost February! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?!
I'm in the car commuting to work 3 hours a day, three times a week (I work from home the other two days), so my NY resolution was to make better use of my commuting time by listening to audiobooks. So far I've finished almost four books this month!

R/R/C: I'm really wishing I would've actually bought a BBT. I'm using the thermometer I've had in my medicine cabinet for 8 years and I'm regretting it. After looking at other people's charts I can tell that the hundredths decimal point really makes a difference. I am getting one next cycle!

R/R/C: None I guess. Temp rise today so I'm worried my chart is going to give me false hope.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?! I didn't really have them, but I think I've made more efforts to see friends and be generally healthier, so those match with my vague pseudo-resolutions.

@cwirth89 Happy birthday!!! My husband just turned 27 four days ago! How fun!
@sparty18 I can't say that I know for sure something environmental changed my temps, but there is a "detector" setting in FF settings... You could switch the detector settings just to play around and see if FF starts to agree with you on O date. You can read more about the different interpretation models here: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Fertility-Friend-Interpretation-Methods.html
@sarah0985 I haven't done any research on fish oils and fertility but fish oil pills are included in my prenatals (One a Day brand) and I know it's good for fetal development. Plus, like you said, they can't hurt! Sorry I can't help more...

Month/cycle: 3/3
Cd/DPO: 27/9
Timing: -3,-1,O
Testing: starting tomorrow
R/R/C: My temp started dipping yesterday on 8dpo and continued today. I'm still above the coverline but can no longer assume this is an implantation dip. Worried that AF is coming (she sometimes comes on 10dpo). My temp usually plummets a degree or so for AF and I've never had this steady decline so I'm just confused.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?!

Cd/DPO: 24/11

Testing: I have the urge to test today since I have today& tomorrow off, but obviously it won't be FMU today.
R/R/C: . My boobs are sore (but they get this way before AF) and I've had to wake up in the middle of the night to pee the past few nights (but this isn't that unusual for me). I hate to SS but can't help it!
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?! I didn't really have any resolutions. I always have a goal to be healthier and more active. Although, it's really hard to get into it right now when it's freezing cold and there's snow on the ground.

Testing: yesterday and today BFN. I'm out this month
R/R/C: so I think I am completely to blame for my uti. I was inhaling pineapple because 'it helps with implantation' and being a nurse I'm always running so it didn't help the situation.. Anyone else get sucked into the hoopla of 'this is how I got pregnant'.. Ugh. But the good news is, the depression part is over. Hopeful for the next cycle to come with better news. I start temping with this one.
GTKY: it's almost Februrary! how are you doing on your NY resolutions?!
Not bad.. I need help every now and then. My resolution was to be happy with what I have. Stop searching for more. The baby part makes it hard but that comes and goes.
