GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? (walking counts)

PrettyPalomino

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: O, +1

Testing: starting tomorrow 9DPO.

R/R/CS: I caught a head cold yesterday and now I'm feeling like poop. I have to spend 10 hours in a car this weekend so that sucks even more. It's an out of town wedding, so I'm going to make sure not to drink too much for two reasons: 1) the possibility of BPF, and 2) the fact that I have to be in a car for 5 hours the next day.

Also, today I go back to the laser eye surgery clinic to see if they can re-do both of my eyes! I had to wait 2 months to let the eyes stabilize so it's been a long wait. Once again, I've reached a point where a BFN would be not too bad since it would mean they could operate. If I get a BFP this weekend, I have to wear glasses for another year... kinda nice to have a reason to be happy about BFN. But I would GLADLY wear glasses for a BFP...

GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? Currently ballet twice a week and blogilates

houseofsetters

Month/Cycle: 2/2 ATTC (11/6 NTNP)

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: -5, -2, -1, O

Testing: 12dpo if temps look promising

R/R/CS: My charts are eerily similar, and it's weirding me out! How can my temps be almost identical from cycle to cycle?! 

GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? (walking counts) 
Um...I need an exercise routine. I do love to walk!! Walking the dogs is about as good as it gets for me right now.

ETA: Fixing a typo.

picklesplease

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 30/8

Timing: -4

Testing: BFN on Wednesday. No more testing. Just waiting for AF to show up.

R/R/CS: Besides the most horrible heartburn I've ever had in my life, all of my usually tell-tale signs of AF are appearing. She's sure to show up sometime this weekend. I'm hoping for Sunday because I need to get in for my CD3 tests. I just don't want to miss the window and be told I need to wait until next month. I would be devastated!

But on a lighter note, this is me right now:



GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? (walking counts)
I have been working with a trainer for the last 3 weeks. I do a lot of weight lifting, which I love. I rotate areas throughout the week, so I'm never super sore any day. Wednesday was a push workout (chest and triceps) tonight is a leg workout, and Saturday is a pull workout (back and biceps). It works and I'm starting to see results already.

NamelessAria

**TW?? Phantom BFP (read: probably imaginary) and BFP joke. No actual BFP**

Month/Cycle: 8/7 or 5/4 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 34/12

Timing: -4

Testing: Caved and tested this morning.

R/R/CS: I woke up this morning still all crampy like I've been since 9DPO. Thanks for that Endo. You're lovely. If we're being honest I was sorta SSing like crazy this morning because I also had some mild nausea and such. I decided that it was worth the 50cents or whatever a Wondfo costs to put the crazies to rest. So I take a test and I swear I think I saw a super, super faint line show up almost immediately and defintiely within the time frame. However, it was only 7:30 and the natural light in the bathroom was still a bit lacking. So I turn on the light and the line disappears. I decided I was probably just seeing what I wanted to see in the dim morning light and turned the light off to go steal some cuddles with DH before he had to get up for work. As soon as I turn the light back off the line reappears. I turn the light back on and it is gone again. Off: there it is. WTF?! So clearly I decided I need to get to the bottom of this. I know what you're thinking "Oh finally. The part where she gets out the FRER to put this to rest." Close! But no. I go and get my cat to see if he cuddles me and guys.......HE DID. I got a BCP! (In this context: Big Cat Positive.) I'm totes KU.

Okay, okay in all seriousness my temps have been in a downward trend and went back to the coverline this morning so that, paired with my 13 day LP last cycle, I'd assume it's safe to say I'll officially be out and back to WTO by tomorrow.

GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? (walking counts)
I try to go for a walk everyday and if I'm feeling especially ambitious I'll throw in some jogging. Also yoga.

AliciaGoose

@BerkeBaby Yay for being off! Sorry about impending AF.

@prettypalomino I hope your cold gets better and you enjoy the wedding!

@houseofsetters Dog walking is the only consistent exercise I get as well. 

Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 21/3
Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, 0
R/R/CS: Rave: I'm here! In the TWW. So that's always exciting. FF gave me my crosshairs this morning. I think what I'm most excited about is that FF gave me crosshairs for the day I would have assumed to be O without temping, so I'm glad to know the O signs I've come to know over the years haven't led me astray.Rant: Ok so the small one is that I had a dream last night that my sweet little old upstairs neighbor called animal control because my dog barks too much and they sent a scary man to break into my apartment and take him! I was devastated in my dream and DH wasn't home. It was legitimately worse than a nightmare. The other big one (from real life, not a dream unfortunately) is that my Uncles step daughter from his ex wife is currently pregnant with her fourth. Her and her husband announced yesterday that they were having a boy, and his name is the one DH and I had picked out as our favorite for years. I cried about it, which I'm a little embarrassed about. This is a woman I've seen two times in as many years, but is still technically family. Our children would share great grandparents. 

Sorry, that was long winded!
GTKY: My exercise routine is to pretend going to the gym 3 times one week and 0 the next is an exercise routine. 

juliehollz13

Month/Cycle: 10

CD/DPO: 8dpo

Timing: good

Testing: BFN today...of course...lol

R/R/CS: My TWW symptoms are going away so I'm afraid the progesterone sups aren't working but then some places on google say that bad PMS symptoms are a symptom of LOW progesterone, and then of course others say that having sore boobs and such is a must for a potential pregnancy. Idk. I'm just symptom spotting like a mofo over here. I just hope at least maybe it will extend my LP...just feel like my body is failing me on so many levels.

GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? (walking counts) Light yoga. Trying not to stress my adrenal glands more than they are. 

picklesplease

@NamelessAria - I about had a heart attack when I saw your TW. I got super excited for you. Hopefully the faint line proves to NOT be imaginary tomorrow.

ETA: @aliciabehn - Yay for CHs and sorry about the name theft. My best friend won't tell anyone what they're planning on naming their soon-to-be daughter and since we're so similar, I'm terrified she's going to take the name I've loved for decades. I told her about it a few months ago, so I'm worried she's going to use it. You just start to plan everything with that name and you dream about the baby you will have with that name, so you cry about it all you want.

feelinchubby824

@NamelessAria I have my FX for you!! I have heard the BCP is the most reliable test!!!

Month/cycle: 5/4

cd/dpo: 28/5

timing: -5, -3, -2, 0

testing: who knows I usually have a freaking 8-9 day LP so I might not need to. I've been drinking RRL tea and taking a few extra vitamins to hopefully help with that.

r/r/cs: not much today, glad it's Friday! Been bickering with DH over literally nothing, kinda over it. I have a lot to do today so I might post and ghost, or at least just check for the BFPs

gtky: nothing! I don't work out, I used to but I'm just lazy. I have a second job that involves manual labor so that kind of counts, right!?

edited for spelling, literally every day I do this

NamelessAria

@BerkeBaby Aw I'm sorry. I'm a jerk. I was so excited this morning before I turned the light on and realized I was probably imagining things. I clearly should have skipped testing and just let my temps being so low put the crazy to rest but noooooo

I'll just keep my FX for you. No worries.

mtvkv5

@NamelessAria FX that it sticks!

@prettypalomino I'm kind of in the same boat (see R/R/CS)

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 30/11

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

Testing: Start white BFN again this morning. Prob will test ED til AF arrives, but having a bad feeling.

R/R/CS: Maybe TMI: So last night one of my saline implants deflated. Yikes. I have had them for 6 years and got them done back home several states away. So now I have to fly home early next week for a consultation. If am I KU this cycle, I have to live with a deflated boob until 6 months after BF is over, if I can even do that (I have full feeling so I am hoping I still can, but after a second surgery idk). It is totally noticeable, not just a small difference! If I am not KU, I can go in an get it fixed right away. So I guess that would be a silver lining to more BFNs this cylce. Either way I am in a strapless bridesmaids dress in 2 weeks and super freaking out about that. At this point I don't know what to wish for.

GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? (walking counts) Well I was doing an on and off running/walking program, but now I can't really run for now.

20T

@NamelessAria FX that the lights off 2nd line turns into a lights on/all the time 2nd line!
@berkebaby sorry for the heartburn, that sucks
@prettypalomino feel better soon
@QueenDaenerysT I've been the same way-grumpy and over it!
@houseofsetters walking the dog totally counts or I would have no answer for today's GTKY

Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 26/14

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

Testing: BFN again today

R/R/CS: Today's appearance in the TWW is brought to you by-you're normal until you're not! The last time I had a 12+ day LP was November 2015. Expecting CD1 to be today (although I said that yesterday)...

GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? (walking counts) Walking the dog and planning great routines that I don't follow through on

***TW BFP***


Month/Cycle: 8/7 (2/1 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 38/16

Timing: -5, -3, 0

Testing: Holy crap!!!! Was what I thought was an evap really a real line?! I looked at yesterday morning's test when I got home last night and it had a faint line, so I did another wondfo and a frer and got faint faint lines, as well as a "not pregnant" on an EPT digital. This morning's wondfo has a real, more than a squinter line that popped up within a couple minutes. I think maybe the digital just wasn't sensitive enough, plus my pee was super diluted because I drank a lot of water on my drive home. I'll buy another one later today because I like wasting money on pee sticks.

R/R/CS: My heart is pounding. After that giant temp drop yesterday I thought I was out, but it went back up little bit today and now I'm staring at a second line. I'm wondering if maybe all those high temps right after flying to Cambodia were just jet lag and I really O'd 8 days ago after that random positive OPK on 6dpo. My chart is in my siggy if anyone wants to see.
I'm so grateful for the community here. You guys have helped me immensely in this journey and I'm going to miss hanging out with you every day. I hope everyone gets their BFPs soon!

GTKY:  Walking on my treadmill while watching Netflix. I can do that for hours. Any other exercise makes me bored.

picklesplease

@20T - The months like this are the worst! I had an 18 day LP, and started getting BSC thinking I was KTFU. I started POAS in the morning and at night. I had all of these symptoms I thought meant I was KU, then AF came back with gusto. I hope you get better news than AF, though. Are you temping? Do you have a chart? Maybe we could help you figure out what's going on?

zrain

@NamelessAria I am crossing all my fingers and toes that you get a stronger line tomorrow. Maybe your temp drop is lying to you like mine did!

Month/Cycle: 5/2 *TTCAL*

CD/DPO: 21/2

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1

Testing: I'm going to see how my temperatures play out.  If no AF and temps look good around DPO 10 then I'll prb test.

R/R/CS: It's Friday!  I'm pretty pumped for the weekend.  I'm hoping to get our half bath re-do finished up and basketball is in full force.

GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? Yeah, about that... DH and I try to take walks with our dog.  It's getting better now that the weather is improving.  I also try to get to yoga a few times a week.  It's been rough the last few weeks because we've been spending time working on the bathroom most the evening after work.

picklesplease

@zrain!! Holy crap! Congrats, lady! FX for a sticky bean! Yay! H&H 9 to you! I almost missed that! 

ETA a big fat CONGRATS to @Shwee25! H & H 9 to you!

kfair001

@zrain congrats!! HH9M. 

Have to to post and ghost today and tomorrow. Driving to see some friends in NY. 

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 29/11

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

Testing: BFN this morning again but still don't feel like I'm out for whatever reason. 

R/R/CS: Travelling to see some friends today. Hoping to take my mind off of TTC. Another BFN this morning but still feel confident which scares me...

GTKY: I take the dogs for a long walk every night after dinner and have a normal morning workout routine that I try to do everyday. 

Sparty18

@zrain YAYAY!  So happy for you!  FX for more dark lines and a sticky LO!  

Month/Cycle: 7/8

CD/DPO: 21/8

Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,+1

Testing: 12 DPO... or maybe 10, we shall see

R/R/CS: Temp shot up a bit today.  Keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times.  You are now entering the BSC zone.



GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? (walking counts)
Terrible right now.  I was so good at going to the gym last year.  Now I fear that starting to do a lot again will prevent me from getting KU, ya know, cuz BSC.

Shwee25

Congratulations, @zrain !! H&H 9 months to you!

**TW - BFP**

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 23/10

Timing: -5, -4, O

Testing: This morning...

R/R/CS: ..... I am still in absolute shock.  POAS this morning expecting a BFN, but there was a definite second line!  I can't stop shaking....  I kept looking at the test over and over thinking I was imagining things.  I cannot even believe it!

I can't think straight right now... I want to thank all you ladies so much for your advice and words of comfort and encouragement.  You are all such amazing women and I hope you all get your BFPs really soon!

NamelessAria

@zrain congratulations!! I'm so excited for you! I'm glad you got some good news after the evaps played with your emotions. 

ETA: Also congratulations @Shwee25

Sparty18

@Shwee25 OMG!!!  Girl I am so happy for you!!  I am going to miss you and your funny gifs.  H&H 9 to you!  In honor of your funny gifs, I give you this... shaking... dolphin??

MedicMomma84

Month/Cycle: 2/3

CD/DPO: 21/DPO is unknown (FF says it didn't detect ovulation...I should be 10-13 DPO)

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1, +1, +2, +3, +4

Testing: I have already tested prematurely and all three came back as a BFN.  I am going to wait a few more days to see if AF ever shows up and test again on Wednesday.  I just wish AF would hurry the hell up if she is coming.  

R/R/CS: I continue to have S&S of a BFP like wanting to upchuck at the slightest smells, but I am not sure if it's just my body still coming down from getting the Mirena out.  I am getting really depressed over the whole situation because just in the last two months, I have had 5 people (both friends and family) that have announced that they are pregnant....again.  Not just the first time!    My BBT started creeping up and on the third day, it came crashing back down.

@NamelessAria FX for you that it was just a really faint line. Common cat, don’t fail us.

@zrain So exciting! Congrats & H&H 9 months to you. Hope for an easy and healthy pregnancy with a beautiful take home baby at the end of it.

Yay for all the BFPs today. 

Shwee25 Congrats.! H&H 9 months!

Hi y'all! IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!



Month/Cycle: 3

CD/DPO:  28/8

Timing:  --2, 0, +2

Testing:  yesterday, today, both BFNs. Waiting again until probably 12dpo or 14dpo if I can hold out!

R/R/CS: Honestly, I was happy about the BFNs this morning (tested yesterday AND today for the booze reason). I drank TONS of green beer last night with my coworkers...we had a great time and even though I am firmly lodged in the "drink 'till it's pink" camp, I was going to weirdly feel guilty about drinking so much last night if I had seen a BFP this morning. Still hoping it's too early and maybe I'll get one in the next few days. My temp was up a bit this morning but will most likely be discarded because of the alcohol but also because I woke up at 3am to pee (I always temp at 6:05am) so took my temp then. When I re-temped at 6:05 after only getting a couple hours of sleep and drinking some water, my temp was WAY up...but I didn't record it. So, we'll see where it is tomorrow. I tested this morning in case I want to drink tonight, but I am going to try hard not to so as not to impact my temp again.

GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? (walking counts)
I usually go to them gym 3-4 times a week, and either get on the elliptical, treadmill, or go to a zumba or yoga class. I do at-home yoga videos (I HEART Yoga w/ Adrienne) and have recently started barre3 videos at home, which is a combo of ballet, yoga, and pilates. It is hard as hell so I don't do it often! I also walk my dog when I can. I have been eating everything fatty and awful in sight recently though so at a certain point there is only so much the exercise can do, lol! 

kellybean1988

@PrettyPalomino  We are both at 8dpo, yay! So sorry you’re not feeling well. Hope you feel better soon!   Also, have you ever tried barre3? You might like it if you like ballet—it’s a combo of ballet, yoga, and pilates!

@houseofsetters That is so interesting that your temps are so similar from cycle to cycle! And walking your dog totally counts—they need exercise too!

@BerkeBaby  holla to another 8dpo’er.   I love your SNL gif. Those were the DAYS on SNL!!! Hahaha. Your workout routine sounds great!

@NamelessAria  omg the BCP, I have heard of this!!! I totally understand about seeing a phantom line…and I love yoga!

@aliciabhen YES, you’re in the TWW now! Yippee!  Aww, I am so sorry about your dream. That sounds scary!  And sorry too about your uncle’s step daughter. That can be tough. Hopefully you will be celebrating and announcing soon! And ya know, they don't have the patent on that name! you can keep it as one of your faves!!

@juliehollz13  whoa, there are tons of us at 8dpo on here! Nice! I hope you get some answers soon.

@QueenDaenerysT manual labor TOTALLY counts. Get it!

@mtvkv5 Hoping everything works out with the saline implant, so sorry that happened!!

@20T I hate when LP lengths vary so much. That is one sure fire way to get the BSC going. Hoping you get answers soon!

@zrain OMG ANOTHER BFP! I AM FREAKING OUT OVER HERE! Congratulations!!   I am so happy for you. H&H 9 months!

@l9i yay you’re in the TWW!  Another yoga lover over here!

@kfair001 Have fun seeing your friends in NY! Hopefully your confidence pays off in the next few days !

@Sparty18 yet another 8dpo’er….hoping we all get BFPs soon! I am kind of with you and thinking my next test date will maybe be 12dpo or 10.

@Shwee25 THE LUCK OF THE IRISH CLEARLY IS WITH SO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS GROUP THIS MONTH! Congrats!!!  H&H 9 months!!

@MedicMomma84 Hoping you get answers soon!

WinchesterGirl

Congrats @zrain and @Shwee25 !!

Month/Cycle: 2 AL

CD/DPO: 26/9

Timing: Good

Testing: Today, until AF

R/R/CS: so... **possible TMI warning/previous pregnancy**. I have been feeling nauseous for a day or so, but didn't think much of it. Trying not to SS. Wake up this am, brush my teeth, immediately heave. Not just nausea, full on heaves. I eat a piece of ginger candy and lay back down, feel fine. So, I take a test, BFN. Which sucks, but it's still early so I'm not really surprised. But now the SS is in full force. This is exactly what happened in November, when I did get the positive... two days of morning sickness even before the test turned. Not sure what to think at this point, as I don't want to be crushed if it is just a random stomach bug. 

GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? (walking counts) Err... I've fallen off the wagon, but yoga/walking mostly. No real routine.

sldp123

**lurking from WTO**

Congrats @zrain and @Shwee25 !! H&H 9 months to you both!

@NamelessAria I am going to be waiting on the edge of my seat for you to post an update this weekend. Fx that the cat is right and the phantom line turns into a nice dark one.

PrettyPalomino

 I know what you're thinking "Oh finally. The part where she gets out the FRER to put this to rest." Close! But no. I go and get my cat to see if he cuddles me and guys.......HE DID. I got a BCP! (In this context: Big Cat Positive.) I'm totes KU

This reminds me of a weird ass dream I had two nights ago. I was breastfeeding a stray kitten I found to rescue it. I woke up feeling so very disturbed. I'm not totally comfortable with the idea of breastfeeding yet, let alone breastfeeding animals!! wtf.

NamelessAria

@sldp123 haha I thought the cat story might get a few laughs. Or at least smiles. Sometimes you just need something silly on a hard day. Which... speak of: I showed DH your siggy picture and he's like "OMG that's priceless! The guy even has white sweatpants and.... is that a crotch bulge? He should paint a carrot on it that would be AMAZING." 

@PrettyPalomino That is an incredibly disturbing dream.  

hanshotfirst77

Congrats @zrain and @Shwee25 H&H 9mo! 

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 29/14

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

Testing: Today, until AF

R/R/CS: BFN again. I have had a 14 day LP for the last few cycles so AF should be tomorrow. I am starting to lose hope but am really really hoping AF doesnt come and im just one of those people that doesnt test positive until after the missed AF...im obviously grasping at straws here and totally BSC. I've ugly cried far more times this week then id like to admit. I am having a really tough TWW this cycle. And a horrible TTC day. Sorry for the pity party idk what else to do.

GTKY:  What's your exercise routine? (walking counts) 
Umm well yeah I totally need to step up in this dept. Does chasing after a rambunctious toddler count?

PrettyPalomino

Congrats @zrain and @Shwee25! 

ETA @Shwee25 your timing and months TTC gives me hope!

20T

@zrain and @Shwee25 Congratulations to you both! Wishing you a happy & healthy 9 months  

@BerkeBaby I actually don't temp right now (hangs head in shame). I was but I found that it was making my anxiety completely out of control, so I've been taking a break and just using OPKs and tracking CM and CP, which I know is not ideal but it was a compromise with myself.

Spotting has begun, so today will probably be CD1 for me. Best wishes to you all for the rest of your TWW and hope I don't see you over in WTO!

Sparty18

@JediAlly85 I'm so sorry.  We're here for you and you can throw as many pity parties as you want.  I only wish I could reach through your screen and hug you, but that would be really scary/creepy to see arms come through your screen, so I won't.  Please accept my internet hug instead.

hanshotfirst77

@Sparty18  Thank you so much! You really have no idea how much that means to me. I am really glad we all have this place to commiserate and support each other. It feels like no one else really gets it. I gladly accept your creepy internet hug.
