SandwichLover

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD: 29/9 dpo

Timing: -1

Testing plans: BFN yesterday. I managed not to test this morning. Maybe tomorrow. FF wants me to wait until Thursday when AF is supposedly due. 

R/R/CS: my temp went down a bit so not feeling too hopeful but I still don't have the cramps and spotting I usually have by this time in my cycle though. I know it doesn't mean anything...

GTKY: at the movies I love eating popcorn at the same time as sour patch watermelons. Salty sweet is so good! H used to think it was so weird but now he eats it too. 

hanshotfirst77

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: -4, -2, 0, +1, +2 

Testing: Well after BFN at 8dpo, 9dpo, and 10dpo I decided to take a break today. Plan is to test tomorrow at 12dpo and if thats negative then wait until AF does or doesn't show up on time (Saturday)

R/R/CS: Temp shot back up today. I thought vaginally temping was going to make my chart make more sense lol. Well at least I have remained well above the cover line just fluctuating up and down a bit. I think taking a POAS break today was well needed. I am proud I have been strong about it. Yesterday was really rough. I broke down in tears twice. I'm not sure why exactly but I have realized I have really high hopes for this cycle and I think the idea of AF coming is really depressing me. I know I haven't been trying that long but its so hard not to get your hopes up. I am trying to be more relaxed today and not let my emotions get the better of me. 

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for?

Toast and ketchup. When I was little I was allergic to most foods. Dairy was included in this so I couldnt eat eggs. And My mom would make my sister scrambled eggs for breakfast and she always dipped them in ketchup. And I got all jealous I didnt have anything to dip in ketchup so my mom gave me toast and ketchup. And idk it just kinda stuck with me over the years. I still like it. Fortunately I outgrew most of my allergies, I totally love eggs now!

@SandwichLover , sorry for the BFN yesterday! You're still pretty early in the game, though, so FX you turn a test in the next few days!

Month/Cycle:  3

CD/DPO:  25/5

Timing:  --2, 0, +2

Testing:  I know I said I would hold out until I do or do not see a temp drop, but yesterday I remembered that it's St Patrick's day in 2 days. My coworkers will be going out for a green beer after work and I want to join, so I'll probably POAS Thursday morning just to make sure I'm good to drink! It'll be 7dpo, so I should be good regardless, but I want to be sure. Expecting (and hoping) for the BFN so I can get a drink!!! Haha

R/R/CS:  I am pretty happy with the lack of BSC going on in my head right now! It's only 5dpo though, so it still has time to show up...


GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? I LOVE this question, @virginiaham ! I mix regular honey with ketchup to dip chicken nuggets/chicken fingers/etc in. I hate honey mustard but I love regular honey and combined with ketchup it is DIVINE. Lol but yes, that gets me looks!

ladystinson

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 17/3 (I'm not sure about this though because of the crazy fevers right after FF says I O'd

Timing: -2, +1

Testing: not even gonna bother this month until I'm late. 

R/R/CS: I dont know what I've got going on right now but I'm tired of feeling like I'm dying with the fever and now hacking up a lung thanks to whatever my manager brought into the office. and I just got off the phone with my mom **TW-child mentioned** my son is running a fever and keeps saying his head hurts. he's not quite 5. what next?

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? Peanut butter and tomato sandwiches. love them! everyone but my dad thinks I'm a weirdo lol

Mlight28

Month/Cycle: 12

CD/DPO: 25/7 or 25/3 - chart stalk please!!

Timing: pretty good either way

Testing: 10dpo and on

R/R/CS: So I'm happy to see a temp rise because I have a progesterone blood test today to see if I'm ovulating on my own (my doc doesn't really trust my 9+ months of temping to confirm that, but that's ok, I'll play along)... But I was really more convinced that O was on CD18. See chart and tell me what you fhink! I'm just hoping that IF O was CD22, my levels have risen enough for this blood test to show ovulation. 
If I discard CD22 temp, O moves back to 18/19. 

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for?
Im a French fry milkshake dipper, but I think that's pretty common!

hupp0013

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 20/6

Timing: -1

Testing: probably 12 DPO.  I caved and picked up some tests last night.

R/R/CS:

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for?  Honey and mayo?  They are really good together with chicken nuggets.  I don't think I eat many strange foods together.  When I was little, I used to eat velveeta cheese on jam on a saltine cracker.  That was really good.  I haven't tried it in a while though.

beff12

Month/cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 25/11

Timing: decent

Testing: BFN FRER this morning with FMU 

R/R/CS: I mentioned yesterday that I had a wondfo and FRER that we couldn't decide the result on. I woke up at 4:45 this morning thanks to the dog hacking up something (gross) and couldn't fall back asleep so tested. I'm so disappointed. I canceled my plans for this morning because I'm kind of a mess and wish I could for tonight, but I won't. I have to try on bridesmaid dresses. 

GTKY: I can't think of anything really. But now I need a Wendy's frosty and fries thanks to @Mlight28. 

PrettyPalomino

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO:20/5

Timing: -4(?), O, +1

Testing: 9DPO as we have a wedding to go to Saturday! I love reasons to POAS

R/R/CS: Our timing sucked this month because I thought I was going to have another 40 day cycle. The EWCM should have tipped me off... so weird that I alternate between 29 days and 40 days. Plus this cycle my temps were abnormally high in the follicular phase, I thought they needed to drop before I was going to O but apparently not. Strange strange strange!!

Side note: I read somewhere that your skin breaks out on the same side of your face as the egg is released! Last cycle I had a crazy breakout on only the right side temple/brow/chin, and this cycle it's all on the left! So cool! Maybe my right side egg causes the long cycles and the short cycles are the left side...

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? You guys aren't going to be able to relate but up here in Canaduh we like our Poutine, and it's usually cheese curds fries and gravy, but I add ketchup! Ppl think I'm gross.

Zoey1019

@PrettyPalomino very interesting about the breaking out! I hope you only have left side acne moving forward!!!

@beff12 Sorry about the BFN  Be kind to yourself today!

@Mlight28  I wish I could give you some insight! I see what you are saying though about CD 18, it could be possible. Sorry your MD thinks charting is silly, I still really don't understand OBGYNs. I dislike the specialty more and more...

@JediAlly85 I feel you on the emotions, I hope your temp stays up and AF is not on the way! 

@SandwichLover FX for you tomorrow! Remember it is still early!

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 30/14

Timing: Doesn't matter

Testing:done

R/R/CS: huge temp drop today, i expect AF today or tomorrow. I am feeling better than yesterday, thank you to everyone who had kind replies for my silly selfish break down. I feel a lot better today, just ready for next cycle! 

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? Hmmm...I don't believe I have one. I have a horrible aversion to chicken, i find it disgusting, people think that is weird! haha

kellybean1988

@JediAlly85, sorry for the BFNs, but good job taking a break from POAS today! I am pretty new to TTC as well (3 cycles in) and I totally understand what you mean about getting hopes up—I think this happens to everyone, regardless of where they are on their TTC journey! FX for a good result tomorrow!

@ladystinson aww, I hope you and your DS feel better soon! That’s no fun.

@Mlight28 Hoping for good results with your blood test today. I am way new to charting but in looking at your chart, I am wondering if maybe CD19 was O—IF you are indeed discarding CD22 temp, it would make more sense to me than CD18 or CD22, because of CM signs. Once again, not an expert, just throwing it out there!

@hupp0013 Oooh you mix honey with something else too for chicken nuggets! I am not a mayo fan but I feel ya on the honey combos.

@beff12  so sorry for the BFN. Thinking of you! I am a frosty and fries gal too. I often wonder why that is not a combo meal at Wendy’s by itself.

@PrettyPalomino oh man we are totally dpo twins!! And omg I had no idea about the acne/ovary relationship! I have some zits on the right side of my face today…weird. AND GURL I LOVE POUTINE! I am not from Canada but I have def had it and it is ah-may-zing. I add ketchup to poutine too!!

@Zoey1019 sorry about impending AF ! hoping it is out of town sooner rather than later and you can move on to your FW.

Zoey1019

@kellybean1988 thank you! I hope your next 5-6 days flies by!  

MrsDho11

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 31/9

Timing: -2, -1, O

Testing: successfully didn't pee on anything this morning, which I usually can't do once I've started.  So victory again today!

R/R/CS: BSC has gotten a little better, but I had some weird random CM yesterday and some twinges yesterday and today that I don't know what to think of either.  I think I'm slowly bringing my mind around to this cycle being a failure.

GTKY: I'm sure there's something; I'll have to get back to you.

Sparty18

@SandwichLover FX for you tomorrow!

@JediAlly85 Glad you are feeling ok about taking a break from POAS today.  I know how hard it is to feel so hopeful only to be let down time and time again.  This process is really tough, hugs to you.

@kellybean1988 Hi TWW buddy!  Want to race to see who hits the BSC first?! ETA - @PrettyPalomino want to make it a three person race?

@ladystinson Hope you feel better soon!

@Mlight28 That is a tough one as I could see either if you discard CD22.  I'm leaning toward CD22 though as O day.  Either way, it seems clear you have ovulated and your timing is great!  Let us know how the appointment goes!

@hupp0013 Velveeta cheese and jam just kinda grossed me out a little, lol, but now I want chicken nuggets.

@beff12 So sorry for the BFN this morning.  

@PrettyPalomino That is an interesting side note!

@Zoey1019 Sorry for the temp drop but I'm glad you are feeling better today!

Month/Cycle: 7/8

CD/DPO: 18/5

Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,+1

Testing: 12 DPO

R/R/CS: Not much to rant or rave about today.  Waiting another week to test just feels like forever away.  That rhymed.

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for?
I love dipping Ruffles potato chips in ketchup.  I don't think that it's weird, but many others do.

***Warning, I'm a SS fool today.***
***Question in R/R/CS.***

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 28/11

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

Testing plans: 14 DPO...maybe....I'm trying....really hard....see below. 

R/R/CS: So my temp went up again this AM. 1 more high temp tomorrow and I'll consider it triphasic (does FF detect that?). BUT...my BBT is acting wonky. Does anyone ever leave it in forever and it doesn't beep, but when you look, there's an acceptable temp displayed?  Mine does this from time to time, but now I have no idea if my temps are valid. Although, I'm half asleep and under the blanket, so could just be I don't hear the beep?  Maybe, since it's displaying a valid temp? UGH!  And it's a Mabis I've only used 2 months. Anyway, a non-beeping temp an hour before my normal
temping time (got up to pee) was 98.59, over 4 hours later when I woke up again, it was the same (no beep). After I got up to pee again, and temped; it beeped and gave me 98.4. Now I'm all sorts of confused. 
With that said, it took all my willpower to not POAS this AM...my temps are abnormally high and I'm SS like a fool. Most notably, and I have no idea if this could happen this early, is DS is complaining "milk gone" and "milk hot" (whatever that means) while nursing. He's never done that before. 
AHHHHH....talking myself down off a ledge. Few more days. Few more days!



GTKY: Grilled cheese sandwiches with pickle slices on the sandwich.

Month/Cycle: 10

CD/DPO: 5dpo....holla!! 

Timing: pretty good

Testing: I went to Walmart last night and somehow wound up with 7 $.88 hpts.....so....any day now hehe

R/R/CS: How do you keep guys from hitting on you at the check out? Throw a ton of pregnancy tests on the line. haha. The bewildered and terrified look in their eyes was priceless. I guess my rant would be that I feel bloated and gross and tired and hate this part of my cycle. 

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? I'm not a picky eater at all, so probably alot of things. One of my latest favorites is halo halo, a Filipino dessert that has ube ice cream, bits of flan, ice chips and ...beans...yes beans. Idk why but it's soooooo good. I also put ketchup on my eggs..or hot sauce...OH! and I love herring - pickled or smoked i'll eat it all.

Month/Cycle: 11/11

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: BBT, FF, PNV,+DHA BD ED/EOD

R/R/CS: Gloomy Rainy Day here in Minnesota, perfect to match my AF mood- lol! I enjoyed a lovely glass of red last night so yay for that & for casual days @ the office, hello jeans & lululemon pullover  

GTKY: Pineapple PIzza with Ranch- so f'n good! 

britters314

@Mlight28  I think CD 22 looks right and it matches up with CM

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 24/11

Timing: -5, 0, +1

Testing: BFN today. I'll test again Saturday if no AF

R/R/CS: So maybe my Mabis isn't favoring temps. Today it gave me a new one and then when I temped again an hour later, it went up as expected. I just don't get why my temps are hovering so close to the cover line.

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for?
I don't really do this anymore, but when I was younger I would dip hot pretzels in ketchup. Buying the cheese in the lunchroom cost money but the ketchup was free.

atcwag

@thefarmerswife0411 - looks like you meant to post on WTO?  This is TWW. 

Sparty18

@atcwag My Mabis did that to me last week, I felt like the thermometer was in my mouth forever so I finally looked and there was a temp there, but I never heard the beeps.  I know sometimes they seem really quiet so I could have missed them, but it was weird.  FF does recognize a triphasic chart as long as there is another clear thermal shift beginning after 7 DPO, which you qualify for!  FX for another high temp and that it actually means something!

picklesplease

Sorry for the BFNs, everyone! And I'm so sorry that I have to post and ghost again! It's been insane at work! End of 3rd quarter is Friday, so we're gearing up for midterms!

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 27/5

Timing: No bueno.

Testing: Nada for me!

R/R/CS: I'm out this cycle, but I'm not upset about it anymore. I'm just going to wait here until AF shows up. I have CD3 testing coming up, which will help put my mind at ease, I think. Right now DH and I just want some answers.

Also, weekend with MIL wasn't too bad. She made one comment about needing another grand baby and I told her we were pushing back our "start date" for TTC. She almost started crying, but it shut her up the rest of the weekend. Even DH told her to stop, which made me feel even better.

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for?
Eggs with grape jelly. I don't know what it is, but my mom always did it and so I started to try it. I think it's the perfect combination of salty and sweet. 

20T

Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 23/11

Timing: -4, -3, -2, O

Testing: tested this morning, BFN, which means I'm probably out this cycle. My LPs are only 12ish days. Whomp, whomp...

R/R/CS: see above.

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? When I was little I used to put tons of ketchup on everything! I've gotten a little better as I get older, but I still love it  

virginiaham

Hugs to everyone facing BFNs and discouraging thoughts/feelings about this cycle.

@zoey1019 I'm glad you're feeling better today!  Tough days are part of this.

@mlight28 cd22 looks good to me, too.  Purely from a testing standpoint, with the uncertainly I'd keep it there.  And also, fries and milkshake is the best!

Month/Cycle:  7/6

CD/DPO:  34/14

Timing:  -5, -3, -1, O

Testing:  16dpo, 2 days out!

R/R/CS:  My temps are still up and no spotting yet.  I'm still cramping on and off to the point where each one I'm convinced is AF showing up.  I usually make it to mid-day 15dpo so today and tomorrow are it.  I have all the AF symptoms and I just really really don't want AF to show up.

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for?  Y'all have some great answers for this!!!  I thought it was just me but it turns out I'm in really good company!  Mine is avocado slices sprinkled with brown sugar and mozzarella cheese.

**CHART STALK REQUEST**

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 26/8

Timing: -5,-4,-2,-1,0

Testing: Friday AM/11dpo

R/R/CS: Hmmm, glad Monday is over, it was a long one!  Slept in this morning and was late for work.  This time change is killing me!  **CHART STALK QUESTION** In your opinion, does anyone think that my thermometer may be favoring temps?   My temperatures are weirdly consistent that last few days and since I’m awaiting a massive temp spike J I want to make sure my thermometer is functioning properly.  What do you think? Thanks! J

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? This one is easy!  Wendy’s fries dipped in a chocolate frosty = the best thing ever!

 

Sparty18

@virginiaham FX so hard for you!  I give you major props for your willpower!  I totally would have POAS by now.

virginiaham

@kfair001 I dpnt think it looks like it's favoring temps, but I may be way off.  I think what you're more worried about with favoring temps is several of the exact same temp.  For example, during my FP this cycle I had 5 temps that were exactly 97.57.  I still saw a clear temp shift and it doesn't seem to be doing it anymore, but I'm not sure I'll use this one for another cycle.

Sparty18

@kfair001 Even though your BBT is making a cute little pattern for you, it doesn't look like it is favoring temps as they all do seem different.  FX you get that temp spike!

kfair001

@SandwichLover You’re not out until the witch arrives.  FX for you!

 @JediAlly85 Sorry about the BFN, it is still early though.  Also sorry that you had a rough day yesterday.  This process really plays with our emotions.  Head up! J  FX for you.

@Kellybean1988 Glad that your BSC has been held at bay so far this cycle.  At least someone’s has because mine is in full force!! 

@ladystinson Sounds like you have had a very rough cycle so far, sorry to hear.  FX that you get some good news near the end of it and that you’re feeling better soon.

@Mlight28 It looks to me that cycle day 18 was your O day only if you disregard your CM.  FF might move your CHs back in the next few days if your temps continue to climb. OMG ME TOO with the Wendy’s frosty and fries!!!  My mouth is watering.

@hupp0013 Honey & Mayo on nuggets!  I’ve never tried this but it sounds fantastic!

@beff12 So sorry about the BFN.

@PrettyPalomino Interesting about the breaking out and your cycle lengths. Sorry your timing wasn’t ideal this month but there is always a chance!

@Zoey1019 Sorry about the temp drop but am glad that you’re feeling better.  Your breakdown was not selfish, we all have those every so often.

@MrsDho11 Wow so many Will Power victories for you over the last couple of days!  Good for you! My BSC is in full force too with all the twinges.  FX for you.

@Sparty18 Wow nice timing this month! Almost hit all days!  Wishing you a week absent of BSC!

@atcwag Your chart does look really good.  FX for you.  BTW my mabis sometimes does the same thing but it beeps eventually sometimes it takes up 2.5 minutes. Is yours even longer than that?

@juliehollz13 GL when you do decide to test!!

@thefarmerswife0411 I think you meant to post in WTO.  Sorry about CD 3.  Hope to see you back in TWW very soon!

@britters314 Sorry about BFN FX that AF doesn’t show.

@BerkeBaby Sorry about your MIL, mine is the exact same way.  She doesn’t realize she’s doing it or doing it intentionally but I still try to avoid her bc the questions always come. 

Zoey1019

@virginiaham FX af stays away for you!

Timing: -4, -2, iui

Testing: beta March 23, but I'll likely POAS Thursday 

R/R/CS: still spotting. I really hope that this doesn't mean I'll need to go to vaginal progesterone 3X a day next cycle because twice a day already sucks

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? Fried (not friend - I don't eat friends even when they are chickens) chicken dipped in honey

Timing: -3,-2,-1,0,1

Testing: Friday (11dpo) if I can wait that long

R/R/CS: I am becoming increasingly stressed out about this cycle. We cancelled a rally race this weekend because I can't co-drive if I am KU. We were supposed to start the long haul to the race tonight and since I O'd late, I still don't know if we cancelled it for nothing.

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? @juliehollz13 I am not a huge fan of halo halo, but I love me some ube ice cream! I go to the Philippines 3 times a year for work, and that purple ice cream is one of the first things I look for every time!

kellybean1988

@MrsDho11 way to go not peeing on anything this morning! Woo!

@Sparty18 haha yes let’s race to see about the BSC first—hahaha! I think I can hold off until 8dpo after I test (and obv get a BFN) to be able to drink! Yeah @PrettyPalomino you know you want in on this!

@atcwag hoping you get some answers soon!!!

@juliehollz13…woot, another 5dpo-er! Lol love your advice about keeping guys from hitting on you at checkout. Brilliant. And that dessert sounds amazing!

@britter314 My temps are hovering pretty close to the cover line too ,but I’m only at 5dpo. Hoping you get some answers soon!

@BerkeBaby sorry you’re feeling out this cycle, but sounds like you’ve made peace with it. I hope your CD3 tests will give you some answers!

@20T I put loads of ketchup on everything too! Love it!

@virginiaham I am so impressed you have made it to 16dpo…wow that is some serious willpower! Hoping you get a BFP on CD16!

@kfair001 hey girl!  Actually, the last 5 days of temps for you look mysteriously like mine—not same temps, but same small increases and decreases. Hmmm..I think though that they have to be several repeated temps to be favoring, so you might be ok!

@mtvkv5 Ahhh I hate when you have to cancel commitments because of maybe being KU. FX you are KU and cancelling it will be worth it!

PS to everyone, I forgot that I also love to dip fried mozzarella sticks in ketchup, not marinara. Yep, pretty weird. 

Edit-words

ChaoticWolf

@SandwichLover you're not out this month yet! FX for you!\

@JediAlly85 Try to distract yourself from it? I find adult coloring books or a novel helps me escape the testing BSC. That's really good timing though!

@kellybean1988 I POAS every time I want to go out too, even when I know it won't turn a test. Why do we do that lol?

@ladystinson sorry your S is feeling sick.

@Mlight28 I'm no expert but I think CD 18 is more likely. Also, mmm frosty.

@hupp0013 Same here, I could only think of the one weird food I eat.

@beff12 Sorry to hear about your BFN. You're not out of the game yet though! It's only 11 DPO.

@PrettyPalomino That is an interesting theory about the difference in cycle lengths! Maybe mine does that too, since I tend to alternate between 28/29 and 31/32. 

@Zoey1019 Sorry that you feel you're out this cycle. It's not over until AF shows up!

@MrsDho11 Yes! Small victories of not POAS are great! Keep up the hope and good vibes though!

@Sparty18 Woah that timing! I feel you on the waiting though. So brutal.

@atcwag I've heard recently that the Mabis can start going weird after a few months but 2 months seems odd to me. Also mmm grilled cheese.

@juliehollz13 Haha that's great, I wish I could see the look in their eyes. Every time I checkout I always get a disapproving old lady who looks at me like I'm too young to buy tests. I'm 23 grandma, stop looking at me like I'm 15.

@thefarmerswife0411 Did you post on the wrong board? This is the TWW board.

@britters314 I dipped pretzels in everything as a kid. FX for a BFP on Saturday!

@BerkeBaby Sorry you're out this cycle. FX for next month!

@20T sorry about your BFN. Ps, I put ketchup on the majority of my food as a kid too. Everyone thought it was normal and kept me from being a picky eater.

@virginiaham FX for a BFP for you! 

@kfair001 No I don't think your BBT is favoring temps. If you want to see that, you can look in my chart from just a few days ago. Mine's a clear example of temp favoring.

@mtvkv5 I'm sorry you had to cancel your plans. FX it wasn't for nothing!



Month/Cycle: 2 / 1

CD/DPO: 28 / 7? Not sure I trust FF this cycle.

Timing: -2 according to FF

Testing: BFN today, I've been testing EOD so not until CD 30. I've been testing according to when my next AF is supposed to show up, which is only 3 days away.

R/R/CS: I honestly think my other thermometer was favoring temps so this cycle FF is probably inaccurate. My BBT came in though so next cycle should be good.

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? I love vanilla ice cream and barbecue sauce. It becomes barbecue ice cream basically. Yum.

juliebeannn

Sorry to post and ghost today. Home sick with a cold so sleep is my friend today. 

Month/Cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 16/3 -- yay CH today!!

Timing: -1

Testing: I went pretty BSC last cycle so this time, I'm really gonna try to wait until AF is due. We'll see if this actually happens tho....

R/R/CS: DH was sick last week. Now i have a cold. I'm just glad we got to HIO once in my FW between our snotty sicknesses. 

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for?  Not a specific combo but, I'm Korean and can eat kimchi with just about anything.

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? @juliehollz13 I am not a huge fan of halo halo, but I love me some ube ice cream! I go to the Philippines 3 times a year for work, and that purple ice cream is one of the first things I look for every time!

I LOVE ube ice cream but its almost impossible to find it in the states!

Well I am officially onto cycle 14:( I'm off to WTO to try for my Christmas Rainbow baby. Hope to see none of you over there.

GTKY: What is one food combination you love but get strange looks for? I have two: potato chips in applesauce and pretty much anything in mashed potatoes (corn, noodles, green beans, chicken, etc). I swear I invented the KFC Famous Bowl.

@dogmomwantinghuman I'm so sorry about CD1.

@JediAlly85 hugs and sorry for the BFNs. Good luck holding out on testing further.

@kellybean1988 glad you got your chart figured out from yesterday! Enjoy that St Pats beer!

@ladystinson feel better!

@Mlight28 I'm a french fry milkshake girl myself! mmm now I'm craving it.

@hupp0013 velveeta on cracker was my jam in college

@beff12 Sorry for the BFN!

@PrettyPalomino very interesting about the ovulation and breakout correlation!

@Zoey1019 hugs and glad you are feeling better!

@MrsDho11 hey there no testing twin! Glad for both of us we held off! It is still early.

@Sparty18 my H does the chips and ketchup as well!

@atcwag i also like pickles with my grilled cheese - on the side, never had it on the sandwich so I'm definitely down to try that. FX for you!

@juliehollz13 I hate that bloating too, i always feel gross throughout the first part of the TWW. I lol-ed at your pregnancy test buying story!

@britters314 sorry for the BFN

@Berkebaby glad your MIL wasn't too awful during her visit.

@20T sorry for the BFN!

@virginiaham I hope AF stays away. I'm usually spotting at this point too so I'm hyper sensitive waiting for it to start.

@kfair001 my last chart was like that - a few alternating temps. I don't think its temp favoring since you're getting more than 1 temp but I'll defer to others with more experience!

@LadyMillil I really like your Marie Curie siggy, btw!

@mtvkv5 fx the race wasn't cancelled for nothing!

Month/Cycle: 11/11

CD/DPO: 31/15

Timing: -1, 0

Testing: bfn this morning

R/R/CS: I'm super surprised I'm still here.  And I'm side-eyeing my usual 13-14 day LP.  wth?  I don't think my o-date is wrong because my chart shows a clear shift, so I'm pretty sure af will show up any time today (or at least I'm hoping we can just get it over with, unless it's that thing I want but don't want to say out loud).  Maybe my hormones are off because I have been SO CHILL this tww.  ETA On the plus side I was able to tell H, "See, it's good that I test early.  If I had been waiting until I missed my period I would be super freakin excited today."

My in-laws still think it's bizarre I get out the peanut butter whenever we have pancakes, but that's a staple in my family.  You have to put it on when the pancake is hot so the peanut butter gets all melty  
On that note, pb mixed with maple syrup on Saltines was a pretty dang good afterschool snack growing up.

@atcwag Your chart does look really good.  FX for you.  BTW my mabis sometimes does the same thing but it beeps eventually sometimes it takes up 2.5 minutes. Is yours even longer than that?

Maybe. I don't know. It's 5:15 AM (or often earlier if I wake to pee), so I'm always half asleep. If I realize it's been a long time, I typically count slowly to 60 and then give up and look at it. 
Today I "tested" what happens if I look at it before it beeps. I left it in 15s, the pulled out. It displayed a very low temp obviously, then "stabilized" and beeped. I would assume, it would do this on days I'm temping too if it wasn't done analyzing. Ugh...idk. 
I guess it could mean something or it doesn't and I'm going to try my best to hold out a few more days, although that will be infinitely harder tomorrow if I end up with a triphasic chart.

Month/Cycle:  We have been trying over a year 

CD/DPO:  CD 26/ probably around 5 or 6 dpo -I haven't temped these last few months because of all our tests etc and my husbands really low SA 

Timing: Bad timing this month, my husband had a SA right around ovulation 

Testing: I probably won't this month unless I miss AF

R/R/CS: We just got home from an appointment with the RE and she is very excited that my DH second SA was back into normal range on all fronts which is SUPER exciting seeing the first one was really bleak!! I was grinning all morning. However I am now officially diagnosed with PCOS so I will likely start Clomid next cycle and see if we can do it on our own without IUI.
