Testing: Not sure yet, maybe on Easter at 11DPO depending on how things are looking. Last month I was spotting by 9DPO so there may be no need.
R/R/CS: I hate when a critical temping day falls on a weekend, because now I'm wide awake at 4:30am Saturday. I'm just really happy to have gotten my CHs though. Our timing didn't end up being as great as I had hoped, but my ovaries took forever to do their thing and we ran into some issues. It's still decent, and I had great follicles this month, so I'm going to focus on that.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? I love a good balance of family time, DH time, and relaxation. Today should be like that. We are going to an egg hunt this morning, then doing Easter dinner with DH's family. Then DS will go to his dad's for the night, so DH and I will probably do Netflix and chill. If we weren't doing the Easter dinner thing, we would maybe go out for a nice dinner then come home and laze around.

R/R/CS: Working today. Hoping there aren't that many patients to see today!!
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? It's rare that H and I both have a totally free day, but when we do, I love either to go out to breakfast and then see a movie, or we'll grab bagels and go eat breakfast and walk around the zoo. And then some serious lounge time!!
@sldp123 Yay for crosshairs!! Also I think your timing looks amazing! That -1!
@houseofsetters I really want a bagel after reading your GTKY.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 22/4
Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, 0
Testing: I want to hold out until Easter which will be 12dpo. Don't know if that will happen. Or if it's a good idea to wait to get a BFN Easter morning. So we'll see.
R/R/CS: I'm in my cousins wedding today, and the dress does not flatter me at all. All of the other bridesmaids are skinny Minnie's and they look much better, but I'm trying to get over being insecure and just own it. I'm also in for a long day, most of which in the beginning will be slow and boring. So I'll probably be around a lot! My rant is that I did an escape room with DH and my colleagues last night, and we lost. We were one lock away and couldn't get it. I am a sore loser for sure. It was our second, and we beat the first one, so now we're just going to go for best two out of three.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? Lounging around with DH. Usually sleeping in a little, grabbing breakfast, and then spending the entire day playing games and watching movies.
R/R/CS: nothing major. Temp went up today on a particularly crappy-looking cycle - hence the testing. For a while I believed there was a ghost of a line on my wondfo, but there really isn't. Doesn't help that our bathroom has no power and I'm staring it down with the flashlight on my phone. We had a breaker trip yesterday and it won't reset so we're having an electrician come out but they can't get here til Monday. Boo. Could be worse though!!
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday?I like all sorts of Saturdays. Today will be a pretty great one. Meeting friends for breakfast, getting a haircut, then heading to a cute little town with a friend to wander around their downtown shops. Hubster is occupied with the tournament and the 12 hour race in Sebring, so I planned a day of girly activities. I do love lazy Saturdays though - waking up late, delicious breakfast, reading books, going for a walk...
Me - 30 DH - 36 Married 10/12/13 TTC #1 since 10/15 Chart!
Testing: BFN today which I expected. I probably won't test again. Probably.
R/R/CS: my husband is out of town for a few days and the weather is supposed to be kind of crappy.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? I love it when I have time to make an awesome breakfast and we have time to sit down and eat it as a family. Then some playtime, something outdoors as a family, then having both kids nap, so DH and I can have afternoon sex. Then TV watching after supper. A day with just DH or myself? A Saturday with lots of food, games, (we play card games together a lot,) and binge watching a show we are both interested in.
Testing: ok so bfns at 8,9,10,12,and 14 dpo. I was pretty sure I was out as spotting started yesterday and I usually get AF the day after spotting starts but surprisingly did not wake up to AF today the day she is due.
R/R/CS: so I guess I'm gonna hang out here still until AF really does show. My luetal phase has been so consistent that I'm really surprised AF didn't show this morning. But I guess there is still time. I've been googling everything I can find on 15dpo spotting and totally being KTFU. Ugh at this point I just want to know so I can move on.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday?
usually just lounging around the house in our pjs. DH commutes to the city so by the time Saturday comes he's exhausted and I'm usually beat too from work and taking care of DS so just hanging out is great. But we usually have errands too and sometimes we'll take DS to the park or a museum or something.
Testing: Yesterday and this morning. I'll probably keep testing till AF.
R/R/CS: I keep getting these super, super faint "I'm probably crazy and there is no line" lines. I got one yesterday morning, last night and this morning. DH says he doesn't see anything. Half of me is sure I'm KU and the other half of me is convinced I'm just seeing what I want to see since I know where the line should be. I'm going to feel like a complete idiot when AF arrives. Not to mention how much more disappointing AF will be after letting myself have this much false hope. At least I don't have to wait much longer, probably, to find out if AF is coming. I should start spotting today since my LP last cycle was 13 days and I pretty consistently start spotting the day before AF.
My other rant is that my emotions are absolutely out of control.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? DH and I are both kinda video game nerds so we're usually pretty content to bum around the house playing video games.
Edit: words are hard.

Month/Cycle: 7/8
CD/DPO: 22/9
Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,+1
Testing: Can't decide, sometime in the next 3 days.
R/R/CS: Ugh, so I accidentally slept with socks on all night (which I never do) and my temp stayed way up today. So, out of curiosity, I took my temp again 25 minutes later after taking them off and it went down more than 0.3 degrees. I know I shouldn't do that, but now I don't know if I can trust my first temp. If I can, my chart is forming a nice little set of stairs and now I'm just waiting for this to happen...
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? Sleep in, make a big brunch, catch up on some shows and then go out for dinner. Unless it's fall, then I want to be tailgating and going to a football game.
R/R/CS: I'm so annoyed/confused/miserable/enter all the emotions here. I always always always have a 28 day cycle and here I am, 3 days late. Boobs and hips have been hurting for three days and I've had awful cramps for three days but I still am having negative tests. Not a single speck of spotting. I just want to cry.
GTKY: I like relaxing with DH and DD on weekends. A lot of the time we end up visiting family, which is nice on occasion. I usually take Saturday to catch up on projects I started during the week and we watch movies or all the Netflix. I also like a good Saturday shopping trip.

@aliciabhen try to enjoy the day & not compare yourself. I'm sorry you don't feel beautiful in the dress.
@sldp123 YAY for CH! I missed you. Glad your ovary giddy-upped!
@JediAlly85 sorry things are still so up in the air. FX for you.
@Sparty18 IDK how you sleep with socks on! I feel caustrophobic just thinking about it!
Month/Cycle: 14/3 TTCA2L
CD/DPO: 23/13
Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0
Testing Plans: BFN today will probably test tomorrow & Monday then wait for AF
R/R/CS: I am soooo freaking thirsty from eating like crap yesterday. I usually bring a huge glass of water to bed every night & rarely touch it. It was gone by 5am.
GTKY: I like to go out to CrossFit, then breakfast/brunch, run errands with DH & the veg & cook a nice dinner. When the weather is nice I like to also get in a walk with the puppies.
Testing: I want to, BSC is getting to me, but I'll at least wait until 9 dpo. I have no willpower.
R/R/CS: My temps are so confusing with DH being away. They are nothing like they usually are at 8dpo. They are doing a slow stepping down. I'm notsleeping well and I'm freezing here by myself. Contemplating not temping the rest of lp just so I don't drive myself crazy staring at this crazy chart. SS is still so real.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? It really depends on what I need from the weekend, this weekend I'm exhausted so, couch and netflix. Other weekends I need to get out and have some fun with adult conversation.
I've been MIA most of this week because work has been so crazy and I'm just exhausted by the time I get home, but somehow I managed to get CHs in there somewhere!
Month/Cycle: 8/7
CD/DPO: 35/4
Timing: -4, -3, -2, O, +1
Testing: I've got a while before I worry about that yet.
R/R/CS: While I'm excited to have CHs, I don't fully trust them yet. They're dotted, which is fine, but I had some OPK issues earlier in the cycle, and my post-O temps are super low, like really hugging the cover line. I may be heading back over to WTO before it's over. I'm just reminding myself that this is my first cycle after laparoscopy, so anything could happen.
GTKY: I also love lazy Saturdays. I'm typing this from the bed right now! DH and I usually sleep in and then make a late breakfast. Hopefully we will be able to get outside some today; it has been raining most of the last few days here.

HSG and SA all clear! September 2016 Testing with RE October 2016 BFP 11/5/2016 ~ EDD 7/19/2016
Testing: Not even going to go near that for a while. Going to just chill the hell out this time around and wait until AF is due.
R/R/CS: I am SO relieved to be here! I am crazy confused though. I finally got my CH this morning and all the signs point to my O date being CD19... and I believe it, it definitely *felt* like O date... slight O spotting the day before, EWCM the day of, temp drop the day before and it shot right up but... I have gotten 9 straight days of positive OPK and am still getting it 3DPO. Very, very immediately positive. Has anyone else here had this happen before? I can't even enter all the positive tests into FF because it tries to change my O date to CD16, which was definitely *NOT* my O date.
I think I also had this happen last cycle as well and it screwed up my understanding of when my O date was then too (which in hindsight was in the middle of a 4-day window where we didn't BD at all , FF was trying to tell me O was 4 days later because I continued getting positives on OPK--I wasn't temping then so it never got it right)
Regardless of the confusion, I'm excited because this potentially means my LP is actually 14 days and not 10, so yay to maybe having a healthier cycle than I thought.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? If the weather is warm, I love driving out to parks for hiking. Otherwise just lounging around playing video games, hopefully seeing some NCAA games tonight that *aren't* crazy upsets.
Have to post and ghost again today unfortunately. Nothing exciting happening with me anyway.
Month/Cycle: 5/4
CD/DPO: 30/12
Timing: -5,-4,-2,-1,0
Testing: BFN from 8-12dpo. Finally starting to come to terms with the fact that I'm probably out which really sucks because my hopes were sky high this cycle and now I just feel like an idiot.
R/R/CS: temps are still high but expecting the crash in the next day or so.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? Movies on th couch or binge watching a really good show. If it's a nice day, I love to hang out in my backyard and soak in the fresh air and sunshine.
Guys, I decided to use a FRER and I think there is a super faint line. I waited to get my hopes up till I could show DH because he never sees faint lines. And just to rule out any sort of bias I snapped a photo, posted it to imgur and then pretended I was trying to see if it had a line or not to answer a question for someone else. I asked DH "hey do you see a line on this person's test?" and he's all "Yeah! There is a line right there. I mean it is faint but.... You don't see that?" Then I tell him it is my test from this morning and he instantly changes his mind to "Oh I don't know. Maybe it is just a shadow or something. Let's not get our hopes up just yet."
Don't worry DH. I'm totally calm about the whole thing.

@aliciabhen It feels like so much extra pressure testing on a holiday. I've tested on both Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve and it was an extra upsetting BFN. But it could also be a really amazing BFP.
@NamelessAria FX that line gets darker! Don't feel like an idiot, anyone would be feeling the same way after seeing something like that! **Read your other post** FX FOR YOU SO HARD.
@Sparty18 That gif is hilarious. Totally appropriate for my charts these last few months.
R/R/CS: Excited to be over here! This is the best timing that we've had so far.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? Getting up early and going to CrossFit, then hanging out with H in any way we decide to. Last weekend, we went to this huge nursery and looked at all the plants and yard stuff. It was fun to look around & fantasize about our dream back yard. Then we went and got some lunch, and then came home and just hung out for the rest of the day.

Testing: last night I got the faintest of faint lines, this morning I got a still faint but slightly darker line! Pretty sure I got my BFP!
R/R/CS: Thank you all for the support you have given me even though I haven't been around very long! I really appreciate all your kind words and you all have made this time pass faster! FX for all of you!
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? Shopping!
R/R/CS: the BSC is real with this one. I've had sore boobs and cramping for several days now positive that AF is coming. But, nothing. Not a spot. I'm convincing myself that I got a bad batch of wondfos and I might go out later and buy an frer. Maybe. It doesn't help that ff says "you are past your luteal phase! Take a test! You may be pregnant". I just want AF to show up now so I can stop being weird and start trying for a Christmas baby.
GTKY: right now I'm on the couch watching hgtv and DH is rubbing my feet. I'm pretty good with this.

R/R/CS: well I'm in Spain now so temping has stopped which I'm mostly happy about. Although in its place SS has crept in and I'm worried about getting my hopes up too high. If I test soon and it's bfn it should bring me back down to earth.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? I like a little bit of shopping and lunch out somewhere. Then back home to curl up with SO in front of a film and a nice meal.
@NamelessAria FX for a darker line! I would have definitely done the same thing to my DH to make it objective! haha
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 25/??
Timing: awesome up until CD20
Testing: on Good Friday (CD 31 if AF hasn't come yet) since my BFF is coming and will take the sadness away if there is sadness - we also have company all week, so I feel like I might be busy enough to actually wait that long....I'm usually pretty good at talking myself out of waiting "one more day" repeatedly until AF shows up anyways...haven't taken a test since December!
R/R/CS: Feeling like crap. I slept with a tissue stuffed up my left nostril last night (isn't it weird when one nostril is going crazy with sickness and the other nostril is just normal? or is that just me that it happens like that?) headache behind the eyes, sore throat, the whole nine. BUT I got out for some fresh air this morning and it was super nice....came back to do some marking and my head decided it wanted to explode again.....so, I'm concluding that I'm allergic to marking
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? Going out for a walk, baking something, date night in with DH...stuff like that

GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? L-A-Z-Y. Sleeping in, cooking a nice breakfast for the hubs and me, and doing some TV marathons (we are still hooked on Supernatural, watching now!) I usually go to the gym and take my dog for a walk too, and then go over to friends' for a game night. Perfect!

Testing: All BFNs so far. Waiting until tomorrow night when my wondfos arrive unless AF shows up before then.
R/R/CS: This is officially the longest cycle I've ever had. I know it seems short in comparison to the 60 days that some of you go through, but the fact that its so long makes me keep wanting to test on the chance that FF is wrong about my O date. Cue the BSC. Ps yesterday was also the weirdest place I've ever POAS. DH decided he wanted to go have drinks at the movies, so I had to do it in a movie theater bathroom. BFN so I was like, "Hello margarita. We meet again."
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? Sleeping and cuddling DH and my 3 dogs, which is what I've been doing today minus the DH. They keep calling him in for more overtime because they're so short staffed. :-(

Testing: BFN yesterday and today
RRCS: So my chart is the BIGGEST TWATWAFFLE ever if my temp drops back down tomorrow. I have all AF symptoms and cramping, and then my temperature jumps up. WTF BODY?!? I'm still convinced I'm out, but nothing like a good temp spike to get a girl's hopes up. Damn it.
GTKY: I love any Saturday that I don't work. I worked today, but on my days off, I sleep in and DH cooks breakfast. Then we love just hanging out at home or taking the dog to the park or on a hike.

Testing: I'm not supposed to test until March 30, but there's no way I'll last that long! I did have a trigger shot, so I'll have to test out the trigger so I don't get a false positive.
R/R/CS: I've been really sad the last few days. I don't know if it's the ovidrel I had to take to trigger ovulation or what. I have been crying over everything and feeling sorry for myself. I'm like "Woe is me" all the time!! I think it has to do with this being my 6th IUI, and if this doesn't work, I'll probably have to do IVF. DH keeps telling me I have to think positive, but it's so hard sometimes!
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? Sleeping in to start with! Then, having a big breakfast at home.

DD born 6/15/20
CD/DPO: 35/13
Timing: -4
Testing: Yesterday and this morning. I'll probably keep testing till AF.
R/R/CS: I keep getting these super, super faint "I'm probably crazy and there is no line" lines. I got one yesterday morning, last night and this morning. DH says he doesn't see anything. Half of me is sure I'm KU and the other half of me is convinced I'm just seeing what I want to see since I know where the line should be. I'm going to feel like a complete idiot when AF arrives. Not to mention how much more disappointing AF will be after letting myself have this much false hope. At least I don't have to wait much longer, probably, to find out if AF is coming. I should start spotting today since my LP last cycle was 13 days and I pretty consistently start spotting the day before AF.
My other rant is that my emotions are absolutely out of control.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? DH and I are both kinda video game nerds so we're usually pretty content to bum around the house playing video games.
Edit: words are hard.

@NamelessAria You must be going crazy! FX for a real line to show up soon!
Month/Cycle: 7/8
CD/DPO: 22/9
Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,+1
Testing: Can't decide, sometime in the next 3 days.
R/R/CS: Ugh, so I accidentally slept with socks on all night (which I never do) and my temp stayed way up today. So, out of curiosity, I took my temp again 25 minutes later after taking them off and it went down more than 0.3 degrees. I know I shouldn't do that, but now I don't know if I can trust my first temp. If I can, my chart is forming a nice little set of stairs and now I'm just waiting for this to happen...
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday?
Sleep in, make a big brunch, catch up on some shows and then go out for dinner. Unless it's fall, then I want to be tailgating and going to a football game.
CD/DPO: 30/16
Timing: decent
Testing: BFN this morning
R/R/CS: I'm so annoyed/confused/miserable/enter all the emotions here. I always always always have a 28 day cycle and here I am, 3 days late. Boobs and hips have been hurting for three days and I've had awful cramps for three days but I still am having negative tests. Not a single speck of spotting. I just want to cry.
GTKY: I like relaxing with DH and DD on weekends. A lot of the time we end up visiting family, which is nice on occasion. I usually take Saturday to catch up on projects I started during the week and we watch movies or all the Netflix. I also like a good Saturday shopping trip.

@houseofsetters A walk around the zoo sounds fun!
@aliciabhen try to enjoy the day & not compare yourself. I'm sorry you don't feel beautiful in the dress.
@sldp123 YAY for CH! I missed you. Glad your ovary giddy-upped!
@JediAlly85 sorry things are still so up in the air. FX for you.
@Sparty18 IDK how you sleep with socks on! I feel caustrophobic just thinking about it!
Month/Cycle: 14/3 TTCA2L
CD/DPO: 23/13
Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0
Testing Plans: BFN today will probably test tomorrow & Monday then wait for AF
R/R/CS: I am soooo freaking thirsty from eating like crap yesterday. I usually bring a huge glass of water to bed every night & rarely touch it. It was gone by 5am.
GTKY: I like to go out to CrossFit, then breakfast/brunch, run errands with DH & the veg & cook a nice dinner. When the weather is nice I like to also get in a walk with the puppies.

Timing: -5,-4,-2,-1,+1
Testing: I want to, BSC is getting to me, but I'll at least wait until 9 dpo. I have no willpower.
R/R/CS: My temps are so confusing with DH being away. They are nothing like they usually are at 8dpo. They are doing a slow stepping down. I'm notsleeping well and I'm freezing here by myself. Contemplating not temping the rest of lp just so I don't drive myself crazy staring at this crazy chart. SS is still so real.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday?
It really depends on what I need from the weekend, this weekend I'm exhausted so, couch and netflix. Other weekends I need to get out and have some fun with adult conversation.
Sorry about the BFNs, @queensunscreen, @hupp0013, @jedially85, and @beff12!
@namelessaria FX for you!
I've been MIA most of this week because work has been so crazy and I'm just exhausted by the time I get home, but somehow I managed to get CHs in there somewhere!
Month/Cycle: 8/7
CD/DPO: 35/4
Timing: -4, -3, -2, O, +1
Testing: I've got a while before I worry about that yet.
R/R/CS: While I'm excited to have CHs, I don't fully trust them yet. They're dotted, which is fine, but I had some OPK issues earlier in the cycle, and my post-O temps are super low, like really hugging the cover line. I may be heading back over to WTO before it's over. I'm just reminding myself that this is my first cycle after laparoscopy, so anything could happen.
GTKY: I also love lazy Saturdays. I'm typing this from the bed right now! DH and I usually sleep in and then make a late breakfast. Hopefully we will be able to get outside some today; it has been raining most of the last few days here.

Testing with RE October 2016
BFP 11/5/2016 ~ EDD 7/19/2016
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 22/3
Timing: -3,-1,+1
Testing: Not even going to go near that for a while. Going to just chill the hell out this time around and wait until AF is due.
R/R/CS: I am SO relieved to be here! I am crazy confused though. I finally got my CH this morning and all the signs point to my O date being CD19... and I believe it, it definitely *felt* like O date... slight O spotting the day before, EWCM the day of, temp drop the day before and it shot right up but... I have gotten 9 straight days of positive OPK and am still getting it 3DPO. Very, very immediately positive. Has anyone else here had this happen before? I can't even enter all the positive tests into FF because it tries to change my O date to CD16, which was definitely *NOT* my O date.
I think I also had this happen last cycle as well and it screwed up my understanding of when my O date was then too (which in hindsight was in the middle of a 4-day window where we didn't BD at all , FF was trying to tell me O was 4 days later because I continued getting positives on OPK--I wasn't temping then so it never got it right)
Regardless of the confusion, I'm excited because this potentially means my LP is actually 14 days and not 10, so yay to maybe having a healthier cycle than I thought.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? If the weather is warm, I love driving out to parks for hiking. Otherwise just lounging around playing video games, hopefully seeing some NCAA games tonight that *aren't* crazy upsets.
CD/DPO: 30/12
Timing: -5,-4,-2,-1,0
Testing: BFN from 8-12dpo. Finally starting to come to terms with the fact that I'm probably out which really sucks because my hopes were sky high this cycle and now I just feel like an idiot.
R/R/CS: temps are still high but expecting the crash in the next day or so.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday?
Movies on th couch or binge watching a really good show. If it's a nice day, I love to hang out in my backyard and soak in the fresh air and sunshine.

Guys, I decided to use a FRER and I think there is a super faint line. I waited to get my hopes up till I could show DH because he never sees faint lines. And just to rule out any sort of bias I snapped a photo, posted it to imgur and then pretended I was trying to see if it had a line or not to answer a question for someone else. I asked DH "hey do you see a line on this person's test?" and he's all "Yeah! There is a line right there. I mean it is faint but.... You don't see that?" Then I tell him it is my test from this morning and he instantly changes his mind to "Oh I don't know. Maybe it is just a shadow or something. Let's not get our hopes up just yet."
Don't worry DH. I'm totally calm about the whole thing.

Testing: I tested last night, BFN. Tested this morning with FMU, BFN.
Gah! TB ate my reply! I give up!
@houseofsetters Have a good day at work!
@aliciabhen It feels like so much extra pressure testing on a holiday. I've tested on both Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve and it was an extra upsetting BFN. But it could also be a really amazing BFP.
@QueenSunscreen Sorry about the BFN
@hupp0013 Sorry about the BFN
@JediAlly85 Sorry about the BFNs
@NamelessAria FX that line gets darker! Don't feel like an idiot, anyone would be feeling the same way after seeing something like that! **Read your other post** FX FOR YOU SO HARD.
@Sparty18 That gif is hilarious. Totally appropriate for my charts these last few months.

Getting up early and going to CrossFit, then hanging out with H in any way we decide to. Last weekend, we went to this huge nursery and looked at all the plants and yard stuff. It was fun to look around & fantasize about our dream back yard. Then we went and got some lunch, and then came home and just hung out for the rest of the day.

Timing: good
Testing: 9dpo-today... All BFN
R/R/CS: the BSC is real with this one. I've had sore boobs and cramping for several days now positive that AF is coming. But, nothing. Not a spot. I'm convincing myself that I got a bad batch of wondfos and I might go out later and buy an frer. Maybe. It doesn't help that ff says "you are past your luteal phase! Take a test! You may be pregnant". I just want AF to show up now so I can stop being weird and start trying for a Christmas baby.
GTKY: right now I'm on the couch watching hgtv and DH is rubbing my feet. I'm pretty good with this.

CD/DPO: 19/6
Timing: -2, -1, 0, +1
Testing: probably soon
R/R/CS: well I'm in Spain now so temping has stopped which I'm mostly happy about. Although in its place SS has crept in and I'm worried about getting my hopes up too high. If I test soon and it's bfn it should bring me back down to earth.
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday?
I like a little bit of shopping and lunch out somewhere. Then back home to curl up with SO in front of a film and a nice meal.
TEAM: PINK!!
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 25/??
Timing: awesome up until CD20
Testing: on Good Friday (CD 31 if AF hasn't come yet) since my BFF is coming and will take the sadness away if there is sadness - we also have company all week, so I feel like I might be busy enough to actually wait that long....I'm usually pretty good at talking myself out of waiting "one more day" repeatedly until AF shows up anyways...haven't taken a test since December!
R/R/CS: Feeling like crap. I slept with a tissue stuffed up my left nostril last night (isn't it weird when one nostril is going crazy with sickness and the other nostril is just normal? or is that just me that it happens like that?) headache behind the eyes, sore throat, the whole nine. BUT I got out for some fresh air this morning and it was super nice....came back to do some marking and my head decided it wanted to explode again.....so, I'm concluding that I'm allergic to marking
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? Going out for a walk, baking something, date night in with DH...stuff like that

GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday?
L-A-Z-Y. Sleeping in, cooking a nice breakfast for the hubs and me, and doing some TV marathons (we are still hooked on Supernatural, watching now!) I usually go to the gym and take my dog for a walk too, and then go over to friends' for a game night. Perfect!

Testing: All BFNs so far. Waiting until tomorrow night when my wondfos arrive unless AF shows up before then.
R/R/CS: This is officially the longest cycle I've ever had. I know it seems short in comparison to the 60 days that some of you go through, but the fact that its so long makes me keep wanting to test on the chance that FF is wrong about my O date. Cue the BSC. Ps yesterday was also the weirdest place I've ever POAS. DH decided he wanted to go have drinks at the movies, so I had to do it in a movie theater bathroom. BFN so I was like, "Hello margarita. We meet again."
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday?
Sleeping and cuddling DH and my 3 dogs, which is what I've been doing today minus the DH. They keep calling him in for more overtime because they're so short staffed. :-(

@NamelessAria YAY, that is all sounding good! FX you can confirm!!
Sorry for all those with me in the BFN club today. Sigh... I hate staring at stark white sticks, so I don't know why I do it so often!!!
CD/DPO: 29/11
Timing: All but O... I manually changed crosshairs, so sue me, FF
Testing: BFN yesterday and today
RRCS: So my chart is the BIGGEST TWATWAFFLE ever if my temp drops back down tomorrow. I have all AF symptoms and cramping, and then my temperature jumps up. WTF BODY?!?
I'm still convinced I'm out, but nothing like a good temp spike to get a girl's hopes up. Damn it.
GTKY: I love any Saturday that I don't work. I worked today, but on my days off, I sleep in and DH cooks breakfast. Then we love just hanging out at home or taking the dog to the park or on a hike.

Congratulations @mtvkv5 H&H 9 mo to you! Excited to see you over in the Nov. BMB
@namelessaria So hoping you get your darker line! and btw that is so something my DH would say also ha.
CD/DPO: 16/2
Timing: -5, -4, -1(IUI and BD), O
Testing: I'm not supposed to test until March 30, but there's no way I'll last that long! I did have a trigger shot, so I'll have to test out the trigger so I don't get a false positive.
R/R/CS: I've been really sad the last few days. I don't know if it's the ovidrel I had to take to trigger ovulation or what. I have been crying over everything and feeling sorry for myself. I'm like "Woe is me" all the time!! I think it has to do with this being my 6th IUI, and if this doesn't work, I'll probably have to do IVF. DH keeps telling me I have to think positive, but it's so hard sometimes!
GTKY: What is your favorite way to spend a Saturday? Sleeping in to start with! Then, having a big breakfast at home. After that, going into town to walk around and shop at the little independent stores. Next, grabbing a late lunch and catching a matinee. Last, meeting some friends for a few drinks!
