Zoey1019

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: -5, -2, 0, +1

Testing Plans: I am going to try to wait until Friday, but in all honesty I will probably start at 8DPO because...BSC

R/R/CS: Nothing to rant about, just spending a nice Sunday morning drinking coffee and hanging out with DH and our pups. But, I can already tell I will be crazy pants this TWW, i had a dull cramp from 2-4 DPO and was googling "early implantation" hahahahahah *crazy laugh*. We greatly enjoyed our champagne last night. Loved seeing the BFPs yesterday!

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 

1.) To own a home in Florence

2.) All student debt gone

3.) To figure out what I want to do and own my own business doing it!

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 32/9

Timing: -5, -3, -2, 0

Testing Plans: Thursday if no AF

R/R/CS: thanks to everyone who took a look at my chart yesterday and helped me determine a new O date!  I've never had a cycle this long but you're regular until you're not, right??

GTKY:
1. A closet full of new clothes and cute outfits each day
2.  A house with a larger basement for DH to put all of his sports memorabilia. He's a big collector and he's starting to run out of room with our current basement.
3.   A beach home for friends and family to use all year long.

I'm back from my break!

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 15/2 (haven't gotten CH yet, but I didn't want to go to the WTO thread for just one day)

Timing: -5, 0, +1

Testing Plans: Not sure yet, but probably either 9DPO or 11DPO

R/R/CS: So I took a break during WTO this month and it was really good for me. I'm a lot less stressed about getting pregnant now. I also got a lot more work done - hmm, maybe I shouldn't bump at work... O date kind of snuck up on us though, since I wasn't paying as much attention and it came on the earlier side, so our timing wasn't super, but at least we didn't miss completely.

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 

1. Well-paying jobs in a warm location for my husband and me
2. Student loans paid off
3. My dream home (in a location near our new jobs)

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 24/11

Timing: -4,-1

Testing Plans: BFN this morning  tomo will prob be my last test unless AF doesn't show wed

R/R/CS: I know I'm not out until AF shows but hope is dwindling for this cycle . 

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes?

3.  I would wish to have 1 last convo with my mom who passed in 2009

CD/DPO: 30/8

Timing: -2, O

Testing Plans: Friday if I don't go BSC and test a little early!

R/R/CS: my temps haven't been this high for this long since since I've been temping! Trying to remain sceptical so I don't have high hopes which will lead to big letdowns. But a great thing was that I got a raise at work!! 

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes?

Month/Cycle: 14/14

CD/DPO: 24/no idea

Timing: I though excellent  but now I don't know

Testing Plans: No plans

R/R/CS: I've been sick with a gross cold and not sleeping well this month, making my temps erratic. Anyone want to look at my chart and see if you can decifer it at all to tell me when you think I may have O'd. I feel like some of these days maybe need to be discarded

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 
1. To pay off my business loan and start making a decent profit
2. To move back to my hometown

CD/DPO:  25/5

Timing:  -5, -3, -1, O

Testing Plans:  none unless temps stay up and AF is late

R/R/CS:  All of the progesterone symptoms are here.  The worst was sips of beer giving me heartburn last night

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes?

Month/Cycle: 25/23??  But who is really counting

CD/DPO: 16/1

Timing: 0, -3, -4

Testing Plans: None unless my temps stay up

R/R/CS: I think I have ovulated.  This is my first month of temping.  My chart is in my sig, and my temps were off last week because I had a fever and was sick.  I was also on antibiotics, so not sure how that effected things, but I had a big spike this morning and had cramps on Friday night.  Glad I decided to make the choice to temp.  I thought it was going to be stressful, but it hasn't been.  

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 
1.  To just learn to enjoy life no matter what curve balls it throws.
2.  To become a photographer.
3.  To travel abroad.

Did I also mention I have been ravenous and gassy and congested, **ETA** "weepy and emotional", and starting to have to talk myself down from the urge to POAS... Main thing that holds me back is a healthy fear of early BFN's and wracking my brain over squinters :/

Timing: -2, 0 (IUI)

Testing plans: ugh who knows. Maybe today just so I can stop the BSC 

RRCS: I am trying to talk myself down from testing today but I really hate testing during the week bc I go into work all weepy and I don't hide it very well. I know that 10dpo is too early though, right? RIGHT??

GTKY: 
1. Pay off student loans 
2. Find some way that we could be closer to my immediate family
3. Have unlimited funds to travel

@bender29 If CD 19 hadn't been such a dramatic drop, I would almost say it looks like CD 15? I'm no expert though. My opinion is it could have been either 15 or 19, but I would lean more towards 15. What were you sick with? Is it possible you slept with your mouth open from congestion to get such a deep decline on CD 19?

Winnie81_Old

CD/DPO: 29/14

Timing: -1,0,1,2

Testing Plans: Ugh, if AF doesn't show today I'll test again tomorrow.

R/R/CS: I've been BSC. Tested yesterday and it was negative and then saw it in the trash a few hours later and it had a blue line. On the interwebz there are a bunch of people saying it it's a bfp, I'm pretty sure it's just an evaporate line, but it bummed me out to see it. I tested this morning and there almost seemed to be a faint evap line, but I honestly think my eyes were exaggerating. This is why I don't test and just wait for my period. I would think if I was pregnant that it would no doubt turn a test, so I'm thinking I'm out this month.

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 

1. To own a several acres of land to live on(with huge trees).
2. On this land, have a dedicated part for an animal sanctuary. 
3. DH and I to be completely (as in physically and emotionally) healthy for life.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 19/2 -- can't ignore my pretty chart and complete change in CM, so I'm here 2DPO without CHs quite yet

Timing: -5x2, -4, -1, O, +1

Testing plans: Only if I get to 14DPO with no AF

R/R/CS: My chart is so much prettier than last month. I still had a noticeable temp shift last month, but this month is no question, even with some insomnia/2 year old not sleeping well/waking up early to pee...


GTKY:
1. Unlimited money
2. My mom to have a beautiful rest of her life (she's had a really rough go of it in general, but especially the past year)
3. No major health issues or accidents for any of my loved ones

chloe97

Cycle/month: 2/2AL

CD/DPO: 32/9

Timimg: good

Testing: all of the days 

R/R/CS: Well we tied one on at this wedding last night. I'm not sure if it was the smartest idea. I tested in the morning and right before and I'm trying to comfort myself with the fact that until that lines shows up, it's not possible to give any fetus FAS. I'm not sure if my dancing which involved jumping up and down was good for implantation. 

We have our 1st RE appt tomorrow. I was kinda hoping to get a BFP tomorrow, but have to keep reminding myself it's still early. With my loss, I turned an FRER on DPO 11 so I'm sure if I have no BFP on Tuesday its gonna be a tough day.

GTKY: 1.) I'd give my dad 1 more daywith the 3 siblings he's lost over the last 10 years.
2.) I'd give both my parents excellent health over the next decades of their lives.
3.) I'd wave a magic wand and lose 30 lbs I've gained in the past 6 years.

**Question in R/R/CS**Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 23/6
Timing: -3, -1, O
Testing Plans:  So I accidentally drove my self to the dollar store yesterday and picked up sone $1 tests and little cups.. and just to see how they worked I accidentally followed the directions and..  bfn to be expected.. but I then drank a glass of wine at the surprise party last night! and squished a few rumors that we are pregnant or ttgp.. as soon as I picked up a healthy glass of wine someone said -- "well I guess we know who's not pregnant!"  But to be fair, I got this when we weren't ttgp either.. being together for 11 years will make people say things like that. 
R/R/CS: So I have done some chart surfing on FF.. and notice that my chart has evened out over the 6dpo to 97.9 after O.. I thought it would vary more but it seems stuck at this temperature.  Has this happened to any one else - is it weird? My BBT cost $7.99 should I invest in another or is this one ok?  Also I take my temp at night just to see if it dips down again, and since O it has also stayed steady every day at 98.17.  View it in the sig.
GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 
1) To have unlimited monies to travel, buy ridiculous things.. like a doggy nanny during the day.  I wont lie, stupid money would be fun for me. 
2) Can I wish for a long happy and healthy life for me and everyone I know?  
3) A bigger house on a lot more land


edited because the spacing went crazy.. why??

Everyone has such good wishes! Not sure why tagging isn't working for me this morning but love the house in Florence (Zoey1019) and the closet full of new clothes (beary67).

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 26/12

Timing: -1

Testing Plans:  Trying to hold out for AF, who hasn't arrived yet (she's not due until tomorrow, but I was convinced she was on her way on Friday)

R/R/CS: I slept funny last night and my entire neck and back aches. I've already taken a bath to try to loosen things up, but no success. Thinking a trip to get new pillows is in order. 

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 
1) All debts paid off
2) A dream house with little projects that I can work on, but not significant ones that prevent us from living in the place!
3) An unlimited travel budget.

R/R/CS: Rave - paid off one of my student loans this week!  Rant/pity party - Sooooo many babies and baby showers on facebook this morning, wtf. I'm going to take a fb break for the rest of this tww because I just can't. I've done a good job of heading off the sad this month and I just want to stay positive

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 
1) Build a new city with all the amenities of a major city, but everyone who lives there has to be kind to each other and walk or bike everywhere.  Lots of fresh produce on every corner, with free and open cooking and life skills classes to everyone.
2) All networks and news sources decide they're going to actually start fact-checking things again, and they don't give air time to people who bluster and lie. People stop sharing completely made-up fake shit on social media.  
3) To magically have my whole house clean (perpetually), and organized perfectly with everything put away.

@winnie81 FX for bfp!!

@whiska Bet it feels really awesome to pay off student loan debt!! cant wait for that feeling  Good luck with the baby shows & try to stay off FB.. sometimes ignorance is bliss!

Month/Cycle: 33ish

CD/DPO: 17/2 

Timing: -5, -3, -1, +1

Testing Plans:  haven't thought that far ahead yet

R/R/CS: I was monitored by my RE this cycle and he said I O'd on CD 15 (through an ultrasound). But my temps haven't risen as much as I would like. They are the highest temps of the cycle, but only barely and I don't know if it's enough to give me CH tomorrow. If I hadn't been monitored I don't think I would have assumed I O'd already. It's the norm for my 1dpo temp to be hugging the cover line but usually it goes up a lot front there. I know I shouldn't second guess my doctor, but this is my first cycle being monitored and I'm anxious so a chart stalk would be helpful. (I know I have a lot of open circles, I check between 5:30-7 every day, but that is too far apart for solid circles.) 

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 

1. Completely debt free.
2. Jobs for us that we love, pays well enough to sustain our lifestyle, and is closer to family.
3. A house that will stay in perfect condition forever. So we never have to worry about a pipe busting or the central air breaking, etc.

@zoey1019; so early...need more coffee lol! AMEN @ Student Debt, that's totally one of mine

Month/Cycle: 10/10 

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: -2 0 +1 +3 

Testing Plans: Nada- unless AF is late. 

R/R/CS: my CL is WAAAAAAAAY higher than normal (i know, you're normal til your not- but i'm talking every single month is roughly the same (97.4) and this month i'm randomly @ 97.8- cray.) DH noted this weekend that I've been a bit "obsessive" lately with my we need to be KTFU comments It hurt a little. We have been trying a year & I'm 31, I can't NOT think about it. I know you ladies get it, sigh DH is my best friend so it's hard not to vent to him about everything but I'm going to try to vent here a bit & a bit less to him for awhile re: WHY ARE WE NOT PG. I just keep thinking @ this point (and I know it "COULD" happen tomorrow) that it's not going to happen without fertility assistance (appt next month once new healthcare kicks in) which could take a YEAR then another YEAR (nearly) of being PG, so it's like TWO YEARS FROM NOW we'll have a kid- SO YES I'm OBSESSIVE DH! Sigh... 

GTKY: 

1. Enough money to live comfortably for the rest of our lives, including enough to pay off my student loans! 

2. A fully PAID farm for DH  

3. A holiday home in London, my most favorite place ever  

britters314

@bender29  Do you track CM? That could help pinpoint it (though that can also be affected by sickness...)

@chloe97  Jumping up and down while dancing is not going to affect implantation, so don't obsess about that

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 19/ No idea?

Testing Plans: I'll wait for AF unless I hit CD31.

R/R/CS: Please CS (chart in siggy)! I'm assuming I ovulated already but I have no clue when. My temps are weird.

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 
1. Enough money for an annual trip abroad.
2. ILs who actually liked me.
3. Dogs. I want to adopt all the dogs.

@Winnie81 sorry about your maybe Evap lines.  Hope it declares itself soon so you can get an answer.

@whiska congrats on paying off one of your loans! It's a great feeling!  But sorry about the social media babies.  It doesn't ever help to see all that during the tww.  

Month/cycle: 9/9

CD: 25/8

timing:  ED during FW and +1

testing plans:  none

r/r/cs:  I'm getting super anxious/emotional.  Love this PMS thing.  Good times.  At this point in the cycle I'm always ready to just know what's gonna happen.  With a 10 day LP I don't have too long to wait but it doesn't seem to get any easier these last few days during any cycle.

gtky:  so many people with very good answers to this.  I don't have anything too exciting or earth shattering to share.  Probably besides like world peace and a stable economy or the election to be over I would pick to have my student loans paid off and those of my friends from school.  We are working on it but having a "wish" to pay them off would be nice.  

[Deleted User]

@LoulieFace When that happens to me, I just retake it, so like the other day when I logged 98.44 and then 98.46, it was really 98.44 both times, but a minute later I retemped and it changed so I used the different/higher temp.  Mine is also just a $6 CVS one, and it's been good to me.  Any repeat temps like that I have attributed to legit repeaters, cos I have seen certain patterns in my cycle where that may be more likely to happen. BUT I agree that 4 days in a row is a bit fishy...

ETA @TotororyInLove hrmm... not an expert, but I'm not so sure I see an O yet.  There's definitely a nice long stretch of fertile CM, but no clear temp shift so I would try to be patient and keep HIO

@whiska Congrats on paying off the loan!  I have one that's close and one more that's not, but that's 2/4 total left so we're getting there... :)  That must be a huge relief!

@rkstro2 omg I hear you on the PMS thing and just wanting to know.  I have been such a hungry, weepy mess and DH is like, ya, "I've been there before, you're all like, 'why am I so emotional!?  feel my boobs,' etc. and then... AF." - in a nutshell is what he says to me. :P  FX for you it's not actually PMS... ;)  My LP is generally longer, so for me AF isn't due till like Friday or Saturday, so I told him my symptoms are a like a week early for PMS.  Who knows tho.  lol Time will tell...

@thefarmerswife0411 FWIW, I don't think where your CL sits matters really at all.  It's not a specific hard and fast thing, it's only an approximate guideline to help you visualize the temp shift, know what I mean?  I never worried about a CL on paper, cos I could just see the shift happen, but lately I've been dropping one on that looks "about right."  I've noticed different detection methods on FF will set the CL for the same temps crazy higher or lower too.  It's basically A. not an exact science and B. not a piece of actual statistical fertility data, if that makes any sense.  Just a friendly guideline for the eye. ;)  You can even manually move it in FF if you don't like where they put it.  Doesn't change your actual chart in the slightest.  Also, sorry to hear about the TTC pressure getting you down.  It's probably weighing on your H too, but I think guys just don't want to talk or hear about emotional things like that.  They have this way of just internalizing things sometimes.  So if I may play devil's advocate, I wonder if just because he doesn't want to hear it doesn't mean he doesn't get it?  It may just sting to be reminded... IDK.  <<hugs>>

@CajunSnowWhite89 I see what you mean about the rise, but I would still trust what your RE saw via US.  I believe that rise is a function of progesterone levels, so if you are already under the care of a physician, maybe the progesterone would be something they are looking at?  Maybe it will just be a slower rise this cycle?  FX for you... also, in terms of possibly tightening up the open circles, why are you temping in such a wide window?  For example, I have my temping alarm set for 5:30 since that's the earliest I might normally try to get up (although that may be changing.) so if it's a day I get to sleep later, then I just hit snooze and go back to sleep, but my actual temp time stays pretty consistent.  (I did have a couple open circles last week when the dog had me up at 430, and I figured better just to temp an hour early than be up for an hour and screw the whole thing up, but I digress.)  ;)  Dunno if you've tried that...?

@kirby1220 FX for you that AF stays BACK!!!  Hope you get your pillows re-situated too, sleeping funny like that can do such a number on you and be so super painful!  Ouch!

@chloe97 as a PP said, please don't worry about jumping up and down affecting implantation.  :)  Also, have you tried MFP for weightloss?  It totally worked for me, even though my weight is up from my lowest, I'm still down a crap-tonne from my highest weight, and wearing 4's and 6's so I really can't complain.

@SweetiePateetie Great timing!  FX for you!!! :D

@atcwag Hello from the other side!!!  Woohoo for a steep temp rise!!!  :D

@Winnie81 Arghh!  That has got to be so nerve-wracking/frustrating! FX for you tomorrow.... :D

@brady0517 OMG my DH is the same way with massages.  I actually managed to get a halfway decent on out of him for my birthday... but I still think it was only like MAYBE 10 min. lol

@JonandJennifer Congrats on starting temping!  I think most women on here would agree that it does WAY more to ease your mind and understand what's happening, answer questions for us about our cycle, than the opposite.  I know it does for me, too, so I don't just feel like I'm randomly floating through my cycle! lol  Your temps don't look too terribly erratic from what I can see in the mini-thumbnail, but most ppl wait till 3 DPO and FF gives them crosshairs to come over to the TWW, so it's totally clear on their chart that they ovulated, but whatevs ;)

@teamginger13 Ya, 10 days is still a bit early... Let's try to calm ourselves... ;)  I stalk this page obsessively from about 8DPO on: https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/pregnancy_test_calculator.php

@virginiaham Ooof, hope you're feeling better.  Progesterone is a good thing, tho, right!? :P You have great timing, so FX this is your cycle!

@britters314 Welcome back!  I have said the same thing to myself about how much more work I would be getting done if not for bumping!  lol  and yet here we are... ;)  FX for you this cycle!

@Marley629 FX for you, you're still in the game!  We just have to be patient... Sorry about the loss of your mom.  I feel the same way about my dad, so much I wish I could still talk to him about, from the big stuff that had happened in the 6 years since he passed (yesterday) to all the stupid everyday mundane stuff too.  It's hard... <<hugs>>

@beary67 Precisely.  Hang in there woman, you still have amazing timing!  I know if I had ended up O'ing unpredictably late DH and I would have been totally out, so BRAVA!!!  ;)

@bender29 I agree with @mrsdaddario that steep dip on CD19 is throwing it off.  Can you think of a reason for that?  What happens if you throw it out, just for fun?  Sometimes it helps to see the other signs line up; have you tried tracking CM?  For example, if you had seen your fertile patch (EWCM or watery) leading up to and hanging around CD15... and then all creamy/sticky/dry from there on out, it would make a stronger case for just dropping the CD19 temp.  But I'm not really sure what to tell you. :/

@Zoey1019 OMG this!  I am at 8DPO today and it was all I could do not to POAS, but I so far have thwarted myself by just not bringing the wondfos into the bathroom... FF wants me to wait till Friday or Saturday, so that honestly may be the only thing that keeps me going, is I'd much rather test on a Saturday and get to enjoy a BFP with him in bed, than find out on a work day and now he just had to rush off... but we'll see.  hahahah ;)

@m6agua Aww, that is really sweet that he opened up like that.  I think it's too easy to think they just don't feel anything one way or the other about babies, but really, they do.  I know my DH feels bad seeing me get so let down each cycle, but really, he's getting let down too and he feels like we wasted so much time since we didn't even meet till later in life (we've been together for 5+ years but married for not yet one).  FX for you both this cycle!!!  :D

@lcsrva I totally get what you're saying about feeling like just whatever.  Hopefully, I think that's a healthy sign, like you said.  Protecting yourself from too much disappointment.  I know DH would like me to manage to do the same this cycle!  lol  But you DO have that AMAZING trip to look forward to, no matter what, so it's like, Life is Good!  Like if a BFP might be a cherry on top, are you gon be like, meh, that ben and jerry's ice cream sundae with whipped cream, candied nuts and fudge was basically garbage.  NO CHERRY!I!?!???  Of course not.
Uhm....  pretty sure that analogy made way more sense in my head that in it did coming out. :)

@whiska- congrats on laying off the student loan debt! What a great feeling that must be! And I also know what you mean about all the baby stuff in FB. I may need to take some time away from there, too.

Month/Cycle: 4 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 19/6

Timing: pretty good

Testing Plans: Next weekend but now that its getting closer I think I might cave and test early. Why do I do this to myself? I may test Tuesday/Thursday and then the weekend. AF is due Friday.

R/R/CS: DH and I were talking and he opened up to me on his feelings for this TTC journey. He really wants a kid and has been getting disappointed every month we get BFNs as well. It warmed my heart. He isn't a super emotional guy.

GTKY:
1. My house to be finished and decorated exactly the way I would like.
2. To be at my goal weight and be able to maintain it.
3. Have a job in my city.

@loulieface By chance is your BBT the Target brand? It is known for getting repeat temps.

@cajunsnowwhite89 I think CD15 looks right. Your two temps after that are higher than your previous 6 and with the CM and OPK it looks right. Probably just a slow rise this cycle. I bet if you put in another high temp for tomorrow you will get CHs.

@m6agua  it is a target brand!! This is not good.

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 38/9

Timing: -3, -1

Testing Plans: BFN this morning.  Probably still testing every day because I have 12 more Wondfos burning a hole in my bathroom cabinet.

R/R/CS: Today I feel better than I've felt on any day of this TWW thus far.  I had horrendous heartburn for over a week, and my boobs were killing me, and all of that has settled way down.  Weirdly, the calming of symptoms has settled my BSC somewhat.  I noticed when I tested this morning that I kind of just like... put down the pee stick and almost forgot about it.  I had no feelings about the BFN.  I did not scrutinize the test.  I saw cute babies at church and did not lose my shit.  I just felt like my own self for once.  I think a lot of this lack of feelings is aided by the fact that we leave for our honeymoon in 17 days(!!!!!!!!!!!!), and I'm sure I don't have to explain why I'd be ambivalent about getting KU before we travel internationally.  But also, my temps have been all over the place during this TWW, and I'm starting to get that feeling that I had last cycle, where I just kind of know that this is not our month.  Maybe that's nonsense.  Maybe I'm just protecting myself from the disappointment.  But that's my story, and I'm sticking to it for now.  Until the BSC comes raging back, anyway.

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 
1. A badass house in the part of my city where I really want to live.
2. My husband to be able to have summers off with me.
3. All my cousins to move to my city so we can hang out more often.

I'm going to go on record and say that I think wishing to have unlimited money is just like wishing for more wishes.  You can do just about anything if you have enough dollars!  You're all cheaters!

@LoulieFace When that happens to me, I just retake it, so like the other day when I logged 98.44 and then 98.46, it was really 98.44 both times, but a minute later I retemped and it changed so I used the different/higher temp.  Mine is also just a $6 CVS one, and it's been good to me.  Any repeat temps like that I have attributed to legit repeaters, cos I have seen certain patterns in my cycle where that may be more likely to happen. BUT I agree that 4 days in a row is a bit fishy...

ETA @TotororyInLove hrmm... not an expert, but I'm not so sure I see an O yet.  There's definitely a nice long stretch of fertile CM, but no clear temp shift so I would try to be patient and keep HIO

@whiska Congrats on paying off the loan!  I have one that's close and one more that's not, but that's 2/4 total left so we're getting there...   That must be a huge relief!

@rkstro2 omg I hear you on the PMS thing and just wanting to know.  I have been such a hungry, weepy mess and DH is like, ya, "I've been there before, you're all like, 'why am I so emotional!?  feel my boobs,' etc. and then... AF." - in a nutshell is what he says to me. :P  FX for you it's not actually PMS...   My LP is generally longer, so for me AF isn't due till like Friday or Saturday, so I told him my symptoms are a like a week early for PMS.  Who knows tho.  lol Time will tell...

@thefarmerswife0411 FWIW, I don't think where your CL sits matters really at all.  It's not a specific hard and fast thing, it's only an approximate guideline to help you visualize the temp shift, know what I mean?  I never worried about a CL on paper, cos I could just see the shift happen, but lately I've been dropping one on that looks "about right."  I've noticed different detection methods on FF will set the CL for the same temps crazy higher or lower too.  It's basically A. not an exact science and B. not a piece of actual statistical fertility data, if that makes any sense.  Just a friendly guideline for the eye.   You can even manually move it in FF if you don't like where they put it.  Doesn't change your actual chart in the slightest.  Also, sorry to hear about the TTC pressure getting you down.  It's probably weighing on your H too, but I think guys just don't want to talk or hear about emotional things like that.  They have this way of just internalizing things sometimes.  So if I may play devil's advocate, I wonder if just because he doesn't want to hear it doesn't mean he doesn't get it?  It may just sting to be reminded... IDK.  <<hugs>>

@CajunSnowWhite89 I see what you mean about the rise, but I would still trust what your RE saw via US.  I believe that rise is a function of progesterone levels, so if you are already under the care of a physician, maybe the progesterone would be something they are looking at?  Maybe it will just be a slower rise this cycle?  FX for you... also, in terms of possibly tightening up the open circles, why are you temping in such a wide window?  For example, I have my temping alarm set for 5:30 since that's the earliest I might normally try to get up (although that may be changing.) so if it's a day I get to sleep later, then I just hit snooze and go back to sleep, but my actual temp time stays pretty consistent.  (I did have a couple open circles last week when the dog had me up at 430, and I figured better just to temp an hour early than be up for an hour and screw the whole thing up, but I digress.)    Dunno if you've tried that...?

@kirby1220 FX for you that AF stays BACK!!!  Hope you get your pillows re-situated too, sleeping funny like that can do such a number on you and be so super painful!  Ouch!

@chloe97 as a PP said, please don't worry about jumping up and down affecting implantation.    Also, have you tried MFP for weightloss?  It totally worked for me, even though my weight is up from my lowest, I'm still down a crap-tonne from my highest weight, and wearing 4's and 6's so I really can't complain.

@SweetiePateetie Great timing!  FX for you!!!

@atcwag Hello from the other side!!!  Woohoo for a steep temp rise!!! 

@Winnie81 Arghh!  That has got to be so nerve-wracking/frustrating! FX for you tomorrow....

@brady0517 OMG my DH is the same way with massages.  I actually managed to get a halfway decent on out of him for my birthday... but I still think it was only like MAYBE 10 min. lol

@JonandJennifer Congrats on starting temping!  I think most women on here would agree that it does WAY more to ease your mind and understand what's happening, answer questions for us about our cycle, than the opposite.  I know it does for me, too, so I don't just feel like I'm randomly floating through my cycle! lol  Your temps don't look too terribly erratic from what I can see in the mini-thumbnail, but most ppl wait till 3 DPO and FF gives them crosshairs to come over to the TWW, so it's totally clear on their chart that they ovulated, but whatevs

@teamginger13 Ya, 10 days is still a bit early... Let's try to calm ourselves...   I stalk this page obsessively from about 8DPO on: https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/pregnancy_test_calculator.php

@virginiaham Ooof, hope you're feeling better.  Progesterone is a good thing, tho, right!? :P You have great timing, so FX this is your cycle!

@britters314 Welcome back!  I have said the same thing to myself about how much more work I would be getting done if not for bumping!  lol  and yet here we are...   FX for you this cycle!

@Marley629 FX for you, you're still in the game!  We just have to be patient... Sorry about the loss of your mom.  I feel the same way about my dad, so much I wish I could still talk to him about, from the big stuff that had happened in the 6 years since he passed (yesterday) to all the stupid everyday mundane stuff too.  It's hard... <<hugs>>

@beary67 Precisely.  Hang in there woman, you still have amazing timing!  I know if I had ended up O'ing unpredictably late DH and I would have been totally out, so BRAVA!!! 

@bender29 I agree with @mrsdaddario that steep dip on CD19 is throwing it off.  Can you think of a reason for that?  What happens if you throw it out, just for fun?  Sometimes it helps to see the other signs line up; have you tried tracking CM?  For example, if you had seen your fertile patch (EWCM or watery) leading up to and hanging around CD15... and then all creamy/sticky/dry from there on out, it would make a stronger case for just dropping the CD19 temp.  But I'm not really sure what to tell you.

@Zoey1019 OMG this!  I am at 8DPO today and it was all I could do not to POAS, but I so far have thwarted myself by just not bringing the wondfos into the bathroom...

@lcsrva I totally get what you're saying about feeling like just whatever.  Hopefully, I think that's a healthy sign, like you said.  Protecting yourself from too much disappointment.  I know DH would like me to manage to do the same this cycle!  lol  But you DO have that AMAZING trip to look forward to, no matter what, so it's like, Life is Good!  Like if a BFP might be a cherry on top, are you gon be like, meh, that ben and jerry's ice cream sundae with whipped cream, candied nuts and fudge was basically garbage.  NO CHERRY!I!?!???  Of course not.

***now with a brand-new addition, our second adorable fur-pup***

Thanks for the reply @BusinessWife all of my other tracking and fertility apps say Ive already O'd and that my FW is done, except for FF. In the past I've never had cycles longer than 31 days, but this could just be an anomaly cycle I guess. I just wish there was a clear shift somewhere. Le sigh.

CoonMom

I want to apologize for not participating much. I haven't gotten on my computer in a long time and I hate writing a bunch out on my phone. Please know I still lurk and hope for the best for each and everyone of you.

Month/Cycle: 2 TTCAL 14 Total

CD/DPO: 20/6

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing Plans: Hubby's birthday is Friday and I'll be 11 DPO so I'll test.

R/R/CS: My basement is coming along. We found trim that we like but is being discontinued. The store in town doesn't have enough but one nearby has 20 pieces. I'm hoping it's still there when we go later today.

Also my students in Sunday school were so well behaved. I'm so happy. They are usually a pain in the butt and don't care at all. ALL students, even the quite ones participated today. Yay!!

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 

1. My dream house.
2. A better relationship with my parents/sisters.

Month/cycle: 1/1

CD: 25/15....i have 24 day cycles. I did not get my period when it was due yesterday nor gave i gotten it today. I am waiting a couple days before i test. I have ZERO symptoms of anything. Normally i get crampy and breakout around my period...none if that. But also no symptoms of pregnancy so who knows?

Timing: i cant remember haha. Whenever the mood was right. 

Testing: like i said probably in a couple days. I was due for AF yesterday. Hasn't come but as nervous as i am and i can't stop thinking about it i just feel i need to wait. 

R/R/CS: nothing to rant about today. Very unusual but maybe something will come up later.

R/R/CS: don't want to get my hopes up yet!!

GTKY: You find a genie lamp and get three wishes. You cannot wish for more wishes and you cannot wish to be pregnant/have a baby. How do you use your wishes? 

To to have the exact money for everything I want to purchase.

to be able to do whatever I want without limits.

For DS to always be happy and well, to always have everything he needs.

Fx for you @KarliQ88

Congrats on the darker line @Aphillips95 !

thanks @BusinessWife.  I had all the feelings all at once today...like I started crying and DH was like "are you happy? Or sad?".  I said "I don't know...."  And then we both start laughing.  Poor DH never met me not on birth control so these last several months of TTC with all the PMS have been very exciting for him.  Lol.  

@lcsrva glad you have been able to get back to feeling like yourself!  It's nice to see babies and not lose it!

mrsdaddario

@Aphillips95 yay for darker lines!!!

@BusinessWife; i think this goes for the entire community when i say thank you for always posting such thoughtful things your note above made me feel a lot better around my CL; come to think of it, it's pretty funny FF will actually let you manually adjust it! HEHE. 

As for DH, he just hates negativity PERIOD; so he's like let's be positive let's be positive, which I love him to bits for, but sometimes, especially after trying for over a year, it's REALLY HARD to be positive & to think positively that "it's just gonna happen" or "will happen @ the right time". I think he "gets" it, but just refuses to think negatively around it. Plus I've been talking a LOT about being excited about getting a new doctor here once my insurance kicks in in April & he's like hesitant around that I'm like SERIOUSLY, it's been A YEAR. Maybe he's right, maybe we're "normal" and it's just taking awhile longer, but maybe one of us isn't, I want to know so we can start planning/thinking accordingly.  I do get a little crazy sometimes when we're talking about it, he'll be like it's just taking awhile, I'm like WELL 86% OF NORMAL PEOPLE ARE PREGNANT IN ONE YEAR lol- sigh, yes....i'm that crazy lady. 

@whiska YOU GO GIRL! That is so freaking awesome! Our goal is to have 2 of my smaller ones paid off this year, fingers crossed! You should celebrate  

babymish

@britters314 I've been wondering where you were! I was a little worried for a while!

Anyhoo that was silly. ..glad to see you're safe & well ☺

Zoey1019

@lcsrva Glad the BSC is away! FX it stays that way and you get a surprise this cycle  

@thefarmerswife0411 Sorry that you had to feel that way  I can't pretend to understand the questions that are going through your head, but I can understand how that type of convo with DH would be upsetting. I hope you get your BFP soon or find the answers soon that will lead to one!

@m6agua glad you had a good heart to heart. I feel like there is nothing better than when you realize they are on the same page as you! They just don't communicate the same way!

@whiska I love the idea of a forever clean house! Oh my god, i spent half my day today vacuuming. We are watching my step sisters two dogs, so 4 dogs today = LOTS of dog hair. Also, congrats on paying loans off! Super jealous, I have about 4 decades left on mine!

@LoulieFace I hate that question, DH and I have been together for 10 years and everyone just assumes it is time. Of course, it is, BUT now it's annoying because I actually want it to happen. FX for you!

@SweetiePateetie I am not sure what whirled peas are! Please do tell! Hope DPO 5 is going as well for you as for me, I thought for sure I was starving today because I am totally pregnant...

@Winnie81 FX for a clear line tomorrow and no evap line. I was also duped by a blue evap line the first cycle, and before I found the bump I will admit I posted it on one of those other sites and everyone was like "yea girl thats a positive!!! Congrats you are pregs!" Thus me looking for some people with a sense of reality. 

@BusinessWife Oh man, do I agree! POAS is a horrible addiction. I also love chart overlay!  My favorite was finally having a cycle to compare to.It was amazing how my chart did almost exactly the same thing temp wise..Also, I agree with massage and facial for life, that would be phenomenal!

@JonandJennifer Glad temping isn't stressful for you. I agree, I think it actually helps ease the crazy that would ensue if I didn't have the data. 

@virginiaham Sorry for the hard question, but I do agree on a good solution to the election! I have NO idea what we are going to do....! UGG, I hate election time.

@bender29 Glad you are feeling better!

@brady0517 Hope the high temps are a good sign! FX!

@Marley629 sorry for the BFN  

@britters314 Glad you are back! I understand the need for a break and I have only been at this 2 cycles...hope it helped!

@beary67 Happy that you have an better answer to your O date! Hope it stays clear and leads to good things!!

Started the thread this morning but haven't had a chance to comment until now!!!
