Testing plans: Valentines day if no sign of AF

R/R/CS: Ugh Mondays stink, but I'm starting my new job today! Yay! I just have classes and boring stuff to attend all week, but I'm so happy to be moving on to bigger and better things. 

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names? We have a dog who we adopted from an animal shelter. They believe he is a pug/boarder collie mix. We also have 2 cats one is all black and the other is calico. The kitties are my babies and our dog is really attached to DH.

@mamamunn congrats on the new job!

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 23/?

Timing: ??, we've just been hanging out until my lap on Friday 

Testing plans: Thursday and Friday before my lap, but I'm sure they'll test me there, too. 

R/R/CS: So I'm not sure where I belong. I doubted my CHs at CD 16, and yesterday someone suggested taking out the CM data and they disappeared. Then today I had a huge temp spike that puts them back regardless, but the spike does put my temps in line with my normal post-O temps. CHs will also move to CD 22 if I continue to have high temps. All this to say that I am now pretty confident that I O'd, just a matter of which day. However, none of it matters this cycle because we're not really trying because of my lap on Friday. Sorry to be so long-winded, but it feels good to reason it all out!

GTKY: We have a golden retriever pup named Garrus.

@MamaMunn Congrats!!!!! Starting a new job is always so exciting  

*Edit - Question in R/R/CS**

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 59/9

Timing: -3, -1

Testing plans:Today and every day until AF....

R/R/CS: So the BSC hit HARD yesterday. These next few days are going to be....interesting...I warned DH that I may be extra crazy and if he could be sensitive of that I would appreciate it! At first he was offended, but then as I was having a breakdown because my hair was oily as I was blow drying it (I mean serious breakdown - warranted right?), he was hugging me and rubbing my back....I caught a good one  

I tested on wondfo this morning, started at it for minutes on end, even tried to "tweak" it....these next few days are going to crawl. We have friends coming in and our plan is to go to Cooper's Hawk...which means lots of wine...I told DH, I HOPE I can't go..this is the first time in my life I am hoping I can't drink wine! My oh my how things have changed!

Does anyone else get super oily hair during the weeks after O? I have only been of birth control for 2 cycles and I couldn't even today, it says it is apparently hormonal like acne, so just wondering! This could save me $$ on new conditioner if it is some PMS symptom I haven't heard of yet.... 

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names? Yes! Two adopted mutt babies, one is a chihuahua/pug/creature (Zoey) mix and the other is a hound mix (Cooper)....see attached picture of my babies..

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 23/9

Timing: -5,-1

Testing plans: None unless AF shows (which I think will be soon)

R/R/CS: Started spotting yesterday so I think I'm out this month. AF isn't supposed to show for 4 more days, but without temping this month, it's anyone guess. 

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names? Yup! We have two 70 lb dogs named Miles and Leo. Both are total mutts (of different varieties) and we love them to death.

Congrats on new job @MamaMunn !

month/cycle: 8/8

cd/DPO: 22/7

timing: -3/-1x2/O/+1

testing plans:  none

r/r/cs:  I am having my pms symptoms that I used to always think we're KTFU symptoms.  My temp dropped today to almost cover line.  I'm sad.  This is getting tiring.  

Gtky:  Maltese 

mrskratt

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: 25/not sure... Gave temping a break this month. 

Timing: every other day from CD 10-22

Testing plans: Friday if AF doesn't show. We have a 30th birthday party to attend Friday, so feel compelled to test that morning. But I'm not feeling confident at all.

R/R/CS: so, DH just dropped this bomb on me today-- if we're aren't KTFU this cycle, then to bench the next THREE cycles because of the due dates being too wrapped up in holidays, birthdays and anniversaries. Plus, he works for the USPS and that's his busiest season. We didn't see him at all during this past holiday season. I guess I can understand, but this might be the longest 3 months. Ugh. 

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names?
We have 2 Australian Shepherds-- 6 and 7 years old, Kohda and Nahla.

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 26/7

Timing: -4, -2, -1, +1

Testing plans: I caved this weekend (even though it was WAY too early) and got a perfectly normal BFN. I am now trying to stop being BSC and hold off until Friday or Saturday, which would put me at 11 and 12 DPO, respectively.

R/R/CS: Nothing too big to talk about. I can't believe I POAS this weekend, even though I knew it was too early. The BSC is showing, for sure. I have had some awful cramps all last week and a massive temp drop this morning. I'm not sure how to feel about everything and I'm trying hard not to SS!

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names? I have a mini schnauzer named Brian, DH has a mini schnauzer named Munch, and DH has a grey and white cat named Bear.

@MamaMunn - Congrats on the new job! That's awesome!

@pretzel2plus1 - FX for this week to go by fast!

@Zoey1019 - Your fur babies are so cute! FX for no wine this weekend.

@rkstro2 - You're in until you're out! I had a temp drop, too! We're both at 7DPO. How long are your LP usually?

Zoey1019

@BerkeBaby I love mini schnauzer! picture!  Pictures of puppies is perfect for today, it makes me so happy!

Month/Cycle: 3 NTNP, 1 TTC

CD/DPO: 24/11

Timing: -4, -1, O

Testing Plans: BFN this morning, AF due Wednesday so not testing again til then, if no AF. Pretty much positive I'm out this cycle though. I feel like 11 DPO with an early clear blue test should be positive if it's going to be?

R/R/CS: Disappointed this morning, but telling myself it gives me another month to put away money/enjoy newly wed life/enjoy BD.

GTKY: 

We have a full blooded German shepherd, and a hound mix from the pound. We also have a cat that is wearing on our last nerve. I've had her for ten years and the last 3 months she's been a total jerk - biting, scratching, hissing at the dogs, peeing in the hallway. I got married in November so I'm hoping it was just the change adjustment. I've been with my husband for almost seven years, though, and we've had the dogs for two years. I don't know. I've also developed a horrible cat allergy while I've owned her - full blown hives, wheezing, eyes swelling shut. She doesn't give me as much of an issue (irritation if she sleeps on me), which the allergist I saw said is pretty normal if you develop an allergy WHILE owning the thing you're allergic to. All other cats give me a problem, though, so she's the last cat I'll ever own. The allergy just wears on my a little and makes it harder for me to be forgiving while she's a jerk (human problem, not the cat's fault).

Month/Cycle:  3

CD/DPO:  3 DPO, I think

Timing:  -1,0,1

Testing plans:  none so far

R/R/CS:  I am sick of TTC.  It hasn't even been that long and I am exhausted.  It takes all the fun out of intimacy because I feel like all I think about is our timing.  

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names?  We have two super high maintenance cockapoos.  We got the second one in the fall and she isn't doing well with housebreaking. It's been really stressful.

Hi everyone, posting here on TWW for the first time after being on WTO. 

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 23/4

Timing: -4, -3 *Both with POM. Hubby has been having some performance anxiety issues. 

Testing plans: None. Very little chance that I'm not out this cycle, so unless I get to CD35 or so...

R/R/CS: Everything points to O on CD19, however because of some early cycle high temps, FF doesn't want to give me CH. I'm confident with CD19 based on some secondary signs, but if I put in another high temp tomorrow, it wants to put me at CD21. Timing sucks regardless, so I'm not gonna worry too much about it. 

GTKY: We have a black Pomeranian named Leila. Not my style per say, but we got her as a gift from DH's aunt who breeds them.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: can't think/9

Timing: -1

Testing plans: already POAS like crazy

R/R/CS: ***TW possible BFP mentioned***

so I have been refraining from posting this because of how cautiously excited I am starting to get.  This community has helped me remain somewhat sane way more than I can put into words. I triggered this month, and last Friday the test was stark white. I tested yesterday morning and last night - both very faint BFPs, and then this morning on FRER and IC - still faint but stronger than yesterday. I am crossing every finger and toe that I have in hopes that the trigger is completely gone and that this is real. We are 11 days past the trigger day, and it was the lowest dose. Nervous does not begin to describe my feelings. 

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names?

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 26/9

Timing: -1, 0, +1

Testing plans: bfn this morning. Even though it's really early I decided to test because DH is going out of town tomorrow (frick I JUST realized he will still be home tomorrow morning and I could have waited... I guess I just wanted to test!)

R/R/CS: My chart is uncharacteristically spiky this LP.  It makes me kind of worried I didn't O or there's some kind of hormone issue, but the temps overall are up.  I don't know.  I feel like af will arrive on Saturday as expected because of some deep cramping and tender breasts yesterday.  

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names?
I grew up with 2 dogs and 3 cats and I would LOVE pets but DH has severe allergies so that's always been a moot point for us.

picklesplease

@samijrichards - FX for you!!! 

2Dash

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 38/2

Timing: 0-1 (I think)

Testing plans: Going to wait this out - I test if late.

R/R/CS: Not really.  This was the first cycle trying for #3 - we were NTNP - trying to be relaxed.  Ended up being a really long cycle so I'm fine with heading to the next one.  I wanted to temp but being sick and kids being sick and up at night - didn't happen.  I'm basing O on CM, +OPK and a gut feeling.  I may be off by a day...time will tell.

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names? Yes, I have a miniature daschund (who I consider my first son). 

sjo_thetwins

@BerkeBaby and @MRSCORKER thank you both! 

wintersong

@MamaMunn Congrats! 

@mrskratt Yikes! It will be invaluable to have him around, though, so maybe it's for the best.

@samijrichards Ah! Good luck! 


onth/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 24ish / 8

Timing: -2, -1

Testing plans: bfn this morning (did I realistically expect anything else at 8dpo?)

R/R/CS:*********** tw ds mentioned
Today was my baby's one year well check up. Four shots and a toe prick! After an HOUR of crying he is finally sleeping fitfully on my boob. I am too chicken to extract my nipple! 

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names? No pets....dh and I are but pretty set against getting one. It's not that a don't like animals, we just can't imagine taking on the work they entail. I don't even want fish.

Edited because for is not four.

picklesplease

@Zoey1019 - Here are our schanuzers:

Munch (who thinks he is a cat):

And Brian (who is a perfect gentleman):

Zoey1019

@BerkeBaby LOVE! They are precious...We had someone in our apartment building with a mini schnauz and I just couldn't help myself every time he was outside! They are so cute...

rkstro2

@samijrichards fx for you!  

@DCHokiemom I'm with you on getting sick of TTC.  It can be very exhausting with all the emotional highs and lows!

@BerkeBaby my LP is about 10ish days.  Last month I quit temping at 6dpo bc I don't want to spend my time worrying about temps but I temped today and now I feel all down about it due to the drop.  I'm getting myself all worked up for no reason and of course there's nothing I can do about it either way (I either will be of won't be KTFU obviously). 

picklesplease

@rkstro2 - Hugs to you! I understand feeling as though you're getting worked up for no reason. I feel as though the temping is the only thing helping me keep my sanity right now. I would either stop temping all together, or have DH hide your thermometer when you decide to stop temping. That might help?

LizaKate1213

Month/Cycle: 9/8

CD/DPO: 28/9

Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0

Testing plans: BFN today, probably going to test every day from now until AF. Having wondfos on hand makes it too hard to resist.

R/R/CS: My boobs don't hurt yet, which is my first sign of impending AF usually so I'm really happy about that. Also, I had my progesterone drawn on Saturday morning, hoping for results tomorrow since the office probably closed today for the snow storm.

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names? We have a 6 month old cocker spaniel/beagle mix named Ruby. She has a big dog shape in a little dog body and I love her to pieces!

ETA: My new name finally showed up! I am formerly alicedavid2013.

@MamaMunncongrats on the new job!

@Zoey1019 my hair has just been more oily in general throughout my cycle since coming off BC.  Cute pups!

@mrskratt FX this is your month. Also, that pic of your babies in your siggy… I’m dead. So sweet!         

@samijrichardsFX this is the real deal!!!

Month/Cycle: 6/5 (1/1 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 20/?

Timing: Don't know exactly as I took a break from temping, but we had sex a few times.

Testing: No plans yet. We'll see where we are around CD 29 or so.

R/R/CS: Not TTC related, but DH got a snow day today, and I am just waiting to see if the snow picks up... My boss is notorious for not closing, even when there is good reason to. I hate driving in the snow, and I could really use a catch-up day around the house with the added bonus that DH is home. COME ON SNOW, YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

GTKY: We have 2 dogs; a black lab mix (8 years), and a great pyr mix (1 year, 8 months), who are pictured in my avatar on the right side. We also have 2 cats; maine coon mix (16 years!), and a white/gray short hair (5.5 years).

@samijrichards FX!

@zoey1019 I haven't noticed oily hair being a pms symptom. But everyone is different. 

Month/cycle: 8/7

CD/DPO: 29/10

Timing: -3, -2, -1

Testing: Friday

R/R/CS: Ate way too much at a super bowl party last night lol. 

GTKY: Nope, no pets. 

GhanimaAtreides

@MamaMunn Congrats on the new job!

@Zoey1019 I haven't been on hormonal BCs since 2002 (Paraguard only since), oily hair in your luteal phase is definitely a thing. If you color your hair lighter at all, it really helps to touch up your roots at this part of the month.

@mrskratt I hear you. We have this next cycle which should start any day now and the dreaded tta Christmas cycle. I know several people with December birthdays and they all bitch incessantly about how they feel screwed.

@samijrichards Congrats! 

@atcway I'm sorry about your timing issues. I hope DH gets comfortable with it soon.

Month/Cycle: 1/1 ttcal after 6months tta

CD/DPO: 30/12

Timing: -3, -2, O

Testing Plans: Got my first indent/evap today, definitely still negative. Just plain line eyes.

R/R/CS: I was sure AF was starting up during the Super Bowl yesterday, bright red spotting. But then it disappeared entirely. It's officially due tomorrow, but I usually spot for 1-3 days before pretty consistently. My temp is still up, but no longer triphasic. So I think I'm in limbo between TWW & WTO.

GTKY: We have 3 cats (all older rescues), a crested gecko, and easily 60 freshwater fish between 3 tanks. I won't do dogs because I like to be able to take short 4 day getaways and just leave everything. It's nice to not have to stress getting a pet sitter.

Zoey1019

Thank you @lizzie5831, @FrancesGrace630 , @DaAliDShow  It has been driving me crazy! Good to know its not time to spend a fortune on new products...just thank my hormones! 

Also, @Lizzie5831 Sorry to hear about potential WTO and CD 1  

picklesplease

@Lizzie5831 - So sorry about the impending CD1.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

Timing: ? (not temping)

Testing plans: none 

R/R/CS: No chart to stalk but I'm a long time lurker and I love my pets so had to participate today  

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names?
2 dogs - Coconut (a Westie) and Friday (terrier/Shih Tzu mix)
2 cats - Bucky and Karma, they're litter mates 
2 guinea pigs - Big Red and Eddie
Everyone is around 6-7 years old

<span><b>Month/Cycle</b>: 18 temping / 6 ntnp / 3 ttc

<b>CD/DPO</b>: 23 / 7

<b>Timing</b>: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1

<b>Testing Plans</b>: Trying to hold out as long as possible... don't really want to have to see a BFN. Might test around 10 or 11DPO with a wondfo, but my ticker says to test Valentine's day.

<b>R/R/CS</b>: I don't know why I am feeling so blah today.  DH was messing with me this morning and I just could not take a joke.  He's wondering why I'm being so emotional, so who knows if I really am any more than normal or just whatever.  He has been in a funk for a while here now and it's hard for me not to get pulled down a bit by that too.  Haven't been exercising really, ate like fools Friday and Saturday.  At least yesterday was better food-wise, but my weight is up, so I really need to commit to having a good solid week diet/exercise-wise, which should help improve my mood.  Blah.

Also, trying not to BSC convince myself I'm pregnant only to be let down again. I feel like a nut in my head, "You know you're totally pregnant. - shh, you say that every cycle and you've never been right just shhh." I read in the First Tri board a lady who said every cycle she was sure she was pregnant, she wasn't, and then when she just stopped thinking about it and almost forgot, (WTH!??!?), that's when she was.  I just want to take a nap and wake up and it's testing day already. lol

GTKY: I have one malti-poo named Caleb.  Still working out the name for the new puppy...

@MamaMunn; yay first day- good luck!!! 
@BerkeBaby; Munch is so freaking cute!!!!
rkstro2; mine dropped a little today too, still above cover tho- fx for you!! 
@mrskratt; i'm in a similar situation where i'm just starting a new job & should technically be "out" for 3 months to be sure i'm @ the company a year before giving birth to ensure all benefits will apply, but after trying for a year i just can't bring myself to "not try" - although the holidays would be insane, as a christmas eve baby- my mom always did a great job @ making sure i got "birthday" AND "xmas" gifts instead of 2 for 1 like my friends (WHICH IS TOTALLY UNCOOL IF ANY OF YOU DO THAT TO YOUR DECEMBER BDAY FRIENDS ... end rant) 

Month/Cycle: 9/9 

CD/DPO: 22/7 

Timing: -2 -1 0 +1 +2 

Testing plans: waiting on AF... 

R/R/CS: DH & I started our whole30 today! Coffee with organic (approved) coconut milk isn't too bad!!  

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names? Since DH & I don't have any real babies (yet!) we spoil our fur-baby as much as possible We have an English Mastiff named Rupert, today is his 7th birthday We keep yelling "it's your birthday!!!" at him & clearly he's ecstatic about it! 

picklesplease

@BusinessWife - Caleb is adorable! I'm sorry you've been in a funk. I've been trying to keep the BSC at bay for a while, too. We'll get through this! Hugs to you!

@thefarmerswife0411 I'm Dec 20...TOTALLY understand your 2 for 1 complaint.

**TW, prev preg mentioned**

Month/Cycle:  2/2

CD/DPO: 23/10

Timing: -2, +1

Testing plans:  tomorrow if temp doesn't drop again

R/R/CS:  temp dropped slightly this morning; just have that overall blah feeling that this is a bfn cycle.  I am trying to tell myself not to compare to my pregnancy with DS because we got our BFP cycle 2 with him. Just have to keep reminding myself every pregnancy is different and just because it may not happen that way with #2, doesn't mean it won't happen.   

GTKY: Do you have any pets? What kind? Names?  Yes we rescued a Pitt mix - she is the sweetest dog I have ever had. Her name is Marley and she is DS's best friend. She's also about 80lbs and thinks she's a lap dog lol 

SuperKristy85

Lurking.

Congrats @samijrichards !!!!

I also LOVE all of these pet pictures!!!! 

Zoey1019

@marley629 My mom has a pitt mix named marley too! Same exact body type! Also a lap dog in her mind...  

picklesplease

@Marley629 - your puppy is precious! I desperately want a Pitt! They are so sweet! Have you heard of Blueberry? She was a rescue Pitt whose new owner trainer to to be a therapy dog. They post pictures and stories of her visits to different homes. It melts my heart!

@thefarmerswife0411 and @kirby1220
My birthday is on Dec. 23rd! My parents were not great about the double gift thing... although they did get me some pretty sweet "one-for-two" gifts, like a Barbie Corvette that I could drive around the neighborhood. So sweet. Also, I am in love with your dog! Creepy happy dog-birthday wishes from this internet stranger!

@marley629 Sorry about the temp drop. Your dog is precious!

UPDATE to my R/R/CS: I GOT MY SNOW DAY!!!

Month/Cycle:  5/4

CD/DPO:  31/7

Timing: -3, -1

Testing plans:  I'll probably wind up testing Wednesday morning at 9DPO even though it is super early and almost certainly going to be negative just because H is headed out of town for almost a week after that.  On the off chance it was a BFP, it would be nice to be able to tell him before he left.

R/R/CS:  Nothing to report here, I feel physically good and still think it likely isn't our month, which is helping keep the SS away!

GTKY:
Troy and Abed are broooooothers!
