R/R/CS: I took a needed Bump break and decided to come back now that I finally O'd. It gets frustrating to sit on WTO for a month. This month we had great timing. I get positive OPKs on the day of O, and since my cycles are SO irregular, they aren't super useful in determining the days leading up to it. This month we just happened to do it the few days prior to getting a positive OPK. I am cautiously optimistic.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? We would love to move to NC, either Charlotte or Raleigh. Much lower cost of living and life is a bit slower. We have beeb applying for jobs, but so far no luck.

Testing: I'm planning to wait until this weekend which would be 10 DPO.
R/R/CS: I'm not sure why, but I feel out this cycle. Since it's the first cycle TTC since a loss maybe it's just my way of not getting my hope up. Even though I feel out, I'd to love to be proven wrong! My temperatures are still holding high so I'm just waiting to see how things play out over the week.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? I would move to the upper northwest because it's so gorgeous up there. Also, I opt for cooler environments. I'd die in the southern heat.

Testing: I've been saying Easter (11dpo) but may test the day before instead.
R/R/CS: I just looked at charts like mine and 50% of them were pregnancy charts. My hopes have been and still are crazy high for this cycle, so I'm setting myself up for a huge let down if it doesn't work out.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? Honestly, I love where we live. I love having four seasons, and the fact that we don't really have any extreme weather besides an occasional winter storm. When we retire, we may move to a warmer climate like the Carolinas or Georgia or Florida. But I'm not a huge fan of the heat, so we'll see.

@houseofsetters Good job making it through a week of Whole 30! I keep looking at it and thinking there's no way I could do that.... @sldp123 Fingers crossed that your chart becomes one of the good 50%!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 20/3 (I think)
Timing: really good if I O'd when I think I did!
Testing: I'm not sure yet if I'll bring a test (or four) to Mexico...we'll see how bsc I am when I pack! We leave when I'm 8DPO so I'll most likely bring a couple
R/R/CS: FF didn't give me my CH based on temping so I changed it manually based on +opk and pain...my temps didn't rise for three days straight but I don't sleep well and I was sick, so I'm winging it this month.
GTKY: I'm Canadian! I love the heat of Texas and Arizona but don't think I'd want to live there 12 months a year...maybe somewhere close to the border.
Testing: saturday or sunday since that should be CD1-ish based on possible O of CD14
R/R/CS: My chart now looks like I've O'd twice lol I'm hoping that the dip on 6&7DPO is the elusive implantation dip but who knows. Like I said before, not getting my hopes up this cycle with being sick midway through. But with my luck, this would be the cycle because of that lol **I guess I should ask since I'm still new to temping, DID I O on CD 14? It looks very similar to last month when I know I did, this second dip just doesn't seem low enough for O for me. Very confused right now, can you tell?**
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? I do love the mountain side of North Carolina (I have family there) or Tennessee right over those mountains. But honestly, I love where I'm at and wouldnt change the area for the world. I live in the same county that I grew up in, the only time I've lived outside this county was in college for about a year which totally doesn't count

R/R/CS: I had this weird pain in my abdomen yesterday, not like my normal endo pain. DH asked if it could be implantation, so I had to explain that it was too early and I wouldn't really feel that. It's so cute that he's excited, though! My temp also went up another 0.25 degrees this morning.
GTKY: If I choose, it would probably be a bigger city, but I really love where we live now. Small city and close to the beach. DH would love to live in the mountains.

R/R/CS: Monday morning booo - walk into the office to a HUGOMUNGO pile of work (took off last friday). So0o0o I probably shouldn't be sitting here on the bump, but doing work, but oh well haha. It'll all get done right?
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? I would probably pick SoCal. I think I would be happier in a place that is warm all year round and would have more energy to work out. I also would love to be closer to all the amazing places in the pacific northwest (love hiking, camping, kayaking, skiing, etc.).
@sldp123 That happened to
me this cycle. Charts like mine had me
at 65 % pregnancy charts and then my BBT gave me a nice smack across the face
this morning. Hopefully things are
different for you though!! FX!
@JessCL A fellow
Canadian!! Me too. From Toronto, you?
@ladystinson Sorry your
chart is confusing you. FX for you this
cycle.
@pretzel2plus1 It’s so
nice that DH is so involved! FX for
you!!
Month/Cycle: 5/4
CD/DPO: 32/14
Timing: Not good enough apparently… -5,-4,-2,-1,0
Testing: Done. BFN from 9dpo-13dpo. Just waiting for AF tomorrow like clockwork
tomorrow.
R/R/CS: Really feeling like crap today
emotionally. Had my hopes way too high
this cycle and I just feel crushed. I’m
sure CD 1 is tomorrow. Hopefully AF gets here fast so I can move on over to WTO.
GTKY:
If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? I’m Canadian and although I love the U.S., have
an American DH and lived there for 5 years, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere
other than where I am right now in Toronto.
We chose to come back to Canada for many reasons. But, if we did move back to the states, I’d
say anywhere with warm weather…probably Myrtle Beach.
@ladystinson When were you sick? It's hard to tell if you could have O'd on CD14 with missing temps the next three days. You don't necessarily need to see a dip on O day, you just need to see a sustained temp shift, and I'm really not sure that your chart shows that.
DS: June 2008 Married: July 2015 BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
R/R/CS: Huge temp drop and another stark white BFN. I just know I'm out. So over this. I have a physical with my PCP tomorrow and then my annual with my OB in a few weeks, so at least I can start talking to them.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? If I can bring all my family and friends with me, then off to Hawaii we go! Fell in love with it on our Honeymoon. There were 2 bartenders at our resort in Kauai that moved there years ago and just work at this pool bar that is open from 11-5. Talk about a stress-free life with a gorgeous view every single day. I could drop the stresses of my career and dealing with snow for all of that in a heartbeat, lol.

I can put those temps back but they are the fever days so FF took them out. With them back, I get CH's for O on CD14. Actually, even putting in the first day (lowest fever) it just brought my CH's back. Here's the chart with the fever temps included:
@kfair001 I'm sorry you're having a hard time today. But FX because it's not over until its over!

@ladystinson Hmm. I'm hoping someone with more expertise than me chimes in for you, because I'm confused, haha. I guess it's just hard to say CD14 is it, because we don't know if your temps would have been high enough even without the fever or not.

Testing: After what looked like the faintest squinter yesterday, I took the other frer in the pack. This time, pink line before the three minutes were up! I also did a clear blue, got a plus sign even sooner. I'm still wary, I never test this early. I have a new pack of 25 wondfos coming today, so I'm just going to be using them like crazy!
R/R/CS: I want to say thank you for all the amazing women on this board who have helped me more than you know. Having a place of support when there is nowhere else to go is an amazing thing. You women are awesome.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? Somewhere warm near a beach on the east coast. I'm always cold but want to be a drive away from family.
@houseofsetters coastal Maine sounds wonderful! I've never been but really want to. Perhaps this spring/summer I'll make it there. @jesscl have fun in Mexico! FX for good news! @kfair001 Thank you and I'm sorry about the BFNs... @Sparty18 I'm also sorry to hear about your BFNs...

I can't respond right now, but when I am proctoring study hall, should be able to come back and respond to a few people.
Month/Cycle: 7/6
CD/DPO: 33/ ??? (I don't know what to do now that my CHs were taken away. Should I go back to WTO?)
Timing:
Testing: I tested Friday and Saturday. Both were BFNs. I won't be testing again this cycle...
R/R/CS: Still waiting for AF to arrive. I have been feeling all of the usual signs, but with no indication AF will actually start. I'm trying to remain positive, but it's been a hard couple of months. The good news is that the quarter ended on Friday and grades are due this afternoon. I love the start of a quarter because it really is a fresh start. I have no papers to grade and fourth quarter is always slightly easier than any of the others. We only have 43 days left of school and 33 days left with seniors. Everyone is in a much better mood now because the weight of 3rd quarter has been lifted and it's finally spring.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? I honestly enjoy living in Nebraska. We get all four seasons...sometimes even in one week. For example, today it's going to be in the mid-60s. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the low-to-mid-70s. Then there's a chance of snow on Wednesday night. I love playing in the snow in winter and the hot, humid nights of summer around a fire pit with friends. I love the crispness of fall, and the birds chirping in the morning in spring. We've got it all here. Living in Omaha, we have the big city feel with the small town politeness. We have an outstanding music scene and a wide variety of theatrical options. We have fantastic restaurants and the best zoo in the country. We have the NCAA Men's College World Series of Baseball, the NCAA Women's Volleyball Championship, and we've hosted the Olympic Swim Trials and will again this year. Okay...I'm done...***goes back to corner in embarrassment***
ETA: YAY! @itsmehere1212! Congrats on your BFP! H & H 9 to you!
@sldp123 exactly. Now, my steady decrease to dip and then the initial rise and post fever temps seem appropriate for me (I temped for a couple months right before I got KU with DS, of course not the month that I did get KU lol, and a few months probably the year after but I cant get into the FF profile anymore. So I'm familiar-ish with my cycles, just super super out of practice and I wasn't as consistent as I am now) But of course the fever isn't a norm and I've never seen the second dip before.

@sldp123 I have been avoiding the Charts Like Mine feature this week because I can already feel the BSC coming up this month. I also have really high hopes this month.
@JessCL Have fun in Mexico! That sounds amazing right now.
@ladystinson Being sick can definitely throw your temps off, so it's hard to pinpoint O, especially with missing temps. FWIW, sometimes (like this month) I don't get an O dip, and sometimes I do. So just because your temp didn't dip, doesn't mean O didn't happen that day!
R/R/CS: The BSC is real this cycle. I feel like I've put a lot of pressure on myself this month. Trying to act casual about it, but the reality is that I have no chill.
We spent this weekend doing some spring cleaning around the house, and H got it in his head that he wanted to replace all of the smoke detectors in the house. We went and bought some new ones, and he spent all day installing them yesterday. I commented on them, saying that the brand new white ones looked a lot better than the old dingy yellowish ones we had before, and he said that while that was true, we needed new ones so that the house would be safer for a baby. He's not the most emotional guy, and he doesn't always talk about wanting a baby as vocally as I do, so to me that action was the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? Honestly, I would stay where I'm at. The PNW is totally where my heart is. I completely love living in Washington state. Although, if I did have to choose somewhere else, I would love to live in Hawaii. But I know I would start to miss mountains and forests after awhile.

R/R/CS: So my cycles have been messed up and I've been super stressed this last week so my O was later than I expected. I was using OPK's and when they weren't positive by CD 14 (when I "usually" O) I started testing 2x a day to be sure I didn't miss it. Saturday PM was definitely negative but Sunday AM, PM, and this morning were all pretty positive. Should I count yesterday or today as O? I'm going to test again later today I'm just wondering what you ladies would do.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why?
I moved from Michigan down to South Carolina and I've lived pretty close to Georgia. I've also visited different parts of the country but I don't think I would want to move anywhere else than right here. I love the warm weather and all the fun stuff you can do here in SC.
@itsmehere1212 CONGRATS! I just knew after reading your post yesterday that you would have a BFP this morning (in fact, it's the reason I looked at TWW, lol!) So excited for you, H&H 9 months !!!

R/R/CS: The BSC is real this cycle. I feel like I've put a lot of pressure on myself this month. Trying to act casual about it, but the reality is that I have no chill.
This is my favorite phrase haha. FX'd for you! And that is so sweet of DH
Sorry to hear about the BFNs this morning!! @itsmehere1212 CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Month/Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: 22/9
Timing: -1
Testing: Plan: 14DPO. Reality: probably tomorrow.
R/R/CS: I've had AF like cramping the last 2 days (7-8dpo, LP is a very consistent 13 days) and it took everything in my power to keep the BSC quiet in my head and not test this morning. I'll probably cave tomorrow morning though.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? I honestly like it here in NJ (we live just a few minutes from the GW Bridge). But just for fun....weather-wise, I'd probably consider SoCal (San Diego maybe), or.....cost of living-wise, anywhere else in the country. Haha.

@HurricaneAmelia Welcome back. I've resigned myself to bumping once or twice a week so I don't go crazy. @houseofsetters congrats on week 1! I'll be hitting the big 3-0 next year...thinking of renting a bounce house lol. @heatho620 ugh I fell your pain. Taking off this week so I'm scared of the email the email flood we'll come back to @itsmehere1212 congrats on the bfp. fx for h&h 9.

Testing: Got impatient and tested bfp saturday, but def too early
R/R/CS: thinking im out this round. getting my normal symptoms and timing is awful. We booked our honeymoon a few months ago when FF said I would get AF near 3/30. Last cycle was short so now I'm showing AF coming the day we leave. oh jeez, I'm gonna stock up on chocolate and wine... We're also trying to buy a house but we're battling investors with cash yuck. Outbid on our first choice, wont hear back on our second choice until tues.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? North Georgia Mountains or TN mountains. We're taking our honeymoon there this week and I'm dying to just stay there. They actually have seasons (which ive never seen in fl) and snow and the views from the mountains take my breath away.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- My Personal, Frequently Changing Gif Party>>>
R/R/CS: I'm almost sure I'm out. My LP has increased over the last five months from 10-11 days to 12-13, which is a bit of a mindfuck sometimes. I tried to talk myself into getting excited about my lack of AF symptoms this month (bc having no symptoms obviously means I'm ktfu) but it's just a weird month, I think. My temp went up a tiny bit today, but I'm mentally preparing for tomorrow's crash.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why?
If money and / or jobs aren't a concern, definitely the Florida Keys - maybe Key West. We love it down there. If we need to still make a living, I'm not sure. We've discussed the possibility of the San Antonio or Corpus Christi areas, but that would be years down the road. Wisconsin does just fine for now, besides the winter months. Our city is a lot of fun in the summer and Springs and autumns in WI are glorious.
Me - 30 DH - 36 Married 10/12/13 TTC #1 since 10/15 Chart!

R/R/CS: I am crazy, wanting to buy announcement type things for easter to give to our parents that day.. But I know it's ridiculous. Lol step back from the ledge. Rant: my temperature was right at my cover line this morning. What the hey. I'll try not to read into it.
GTKY:If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? North Carolina! All the houses look so cute, the history, the natural terrain, and the much lower cost of living.

Here's my first round of responses. I'll try to get back later this afternoon to respond some more!
Ugh Mondays...
@HurricaneAmelia - I'm thinking I might need a TB break. I'm always SUPER excited for the BFPs, but as I get further along in my TTC journey, they sting a little bit more every time. Glad to have you back!
@l9i - FX for you this cycle! Your timing looks fantastic!
@houseofsetters - congrats on your first week of Whole30! GL to you!
@sldp123 - My fingers are crossed so hard for you right now! I hope you're in the 50% of pregnancy charts!
@JessCL - Enjoy your time in Mexico! What area are you going to visit? I think it would be so awesome to be able to tell your partner on a trip like that! FX!
@ladystinson - my vote would be for CD14. It's just so tough to tell with the fevers in there. If you were sick, though, I would say you might have Od later, like on CD 21. Sorry. I know that means nothing. I guess, if I were sick, I would lean more towards the later O day of CD21.
@pretzel2plus1 - I love it when my H asks questions and gets excited. It's really sweet. Glad that your H seems to be as curious and interested as mine. FX for you!
@Heatho620 - I'm in the same boat you are! I had a massive pile of papers to grade and now I have to put them in the gradebooks online. And...I have no motivation. So I'm here bumping instead. Seems like the better choice.
@kfair001 - So sorry to hear about your BFN. Creepy internet hugs to you. Be kind to yourself today. I'll see you over in WTO, if AF ever decides to show her face to me, too.
@Sparty18 - So sorry about your BFN, lady! You had amazing timing this cycle. Creepy internet hugs.
@Lecool - Your DH sounds like my dad a little bit. My dad was never super emotional or showed his feelings, but he always made sure the house was safe for my brother and me. He never really said it, but my dad always showed us how much he cared. Your future LO sounds like he/she will be very much loved.
@becbec28 - I'm not the most efficient when it comes to charting, but I would say that you O after your LH surge. I would test again this afternoon to see if you still have a positive OPK, if the line is lighter than the control, I would say your O day would be tomorrow. I could be wrong, though.
@hupp0013 - We're in the same boat. AF is avoiding me. It's getting a little disheartening to see all of the BFNs.
@juliebeannn - You have far more self-control than I do. I'd be testing every. Single. Day. FX for some good news for you when you do test!
Okay. I'll be back later for more responses!
ETA: @sLass42- Sorry to hear AF might show up before you leave for your honeymoon! I agree chocolate and wine! FX for your second choice!
@QueenSunscreen - Sorry to hear about the BFN and about your LPs being inconsistent. I'm having the same problem.
@LadyMillil- FX for your beta tomorrow! Hopefully it will have good news for you!
@Sugargirl1019- I'd hold off on the announcement. I had bought a pair of shoes in December to tell DH if I got KTFU over Christmas. And am still not KTFU. I had to donate those shoes last month because constantly seeing them made me incredibly sad. DH and I have also decided that we'd wait until I was at 12 weeks before telling anyone, just in case. FX, though, that AF stays away and the Easter bunny brings you a nice BFP!
Testing: Probably tomorrow to start testing out the trigger shot.
R/R/CS: Pretty chill. Not feeling any symptoms really of any kind which is crazy as usually my Met makes me feel pukey.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? Hmm probably back to the cities where I lived for 10 years. A ton of my friends live there, and I really enjoyed the city life.
hupp0013 You are so patient. I always think I will wait to test and then I have no self control. Lecool Awe! Your husband sounds so sweet! Ps. I have no chill either. BerkeBaby I hope grading went well for you and that you have a good start to the next quarter. itsmehere1212 Whooo! Excited for you! GL and best wishes! JessCL Fun that your going on vaca!

R/R/CS: I'm still sore from my race on Saturday, but I'm already looking for another one to sign up for. Trying not to think too much about anything TTC related (outside of here of course haha) so I don't get BSC. Back at work this morning and hoping for a nice, slow day.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? Back to my hometown. My entire family is there and I miss them.

@linzrunz Congrats on completing the race! Good luck holding off the BSC. @TotororyInLove Sorry for looming CD1. @BecauseLove FX for testing tomorrow! @Sugargirl1019 I hope the Easter bunny is kind to you! @LadyMillil So sorry for the BFNs. I can only imagine how frustrating that is after all you are going through. Hugs. @QueenSunscreen Sorry for the BFNs. @sLass42 Hope you get the house! @juliebeannn FX for testing tomorrow! @hupp0013 Even though my answer today was Hawaii, in real life, we also want to be snowbirds one day. I love Michigan in the summer and would love to escape it in the winter. @becbec28 I agree with others, if you are not temping, keep using the OPKs and definitely keep HIO! @Lecool That is so cute your H said/did that. I also can relate to the pressure, I try not to do that to myself, but it's pretty much impossible to be relaxed about all this. @BerkeBaby I really hope you can move on from this cycle soon! Obviously it'd be best for you to get a BFP, but I know you would also welcome AF right now. FX one or the other happens soon. Thanks for the creepy hugs, right back at ya! @pretzel2plus1 It's always so funny (and cute) when our Hs have these questions. I think it is their way of trying to feel like they are a part of our daily drama lol. @ladystinson As others have said, it is hard to determine due to your fever, but that may have also delayed O, so I'd keep HIO to be safe! @JessCL Very jealous of your Mexico trip. Even though it is spring now, I definitely saw a few snowflakes this morning and I'm not ok with that. @sldp123 It can be so hard to look at that charts like yours thing, but I hope it pans out for you! @l9i I hope you are proven wrong, too! @houseofsetters Congrats on making it through your first week of Whole 30! @kfair001 Sorry you're feeling as crushed as I am. Let's hug it out. @HurricaneAmelia Welcome back and I'm glad you had good timing!
@itsmehere1212 Congrats!! Very happy for you, have a H&H 9 months and have fun using all those wondfos when they arrive!
Re: TWW Monday
CD/DPO: 32/0
Timing: -2,-1, 0 (best timing we have ever had)
Testing: starting 9 DPO
R/R/CS: I took a needed Bump break and decided to come back now that I finally O'd. It gets frustrating to sit on WTO for a month. This month we had great timing. I get positive OPKs on the day of O, and since my cycles are SO irregular, they aren't super useful in determining the days leading up to it. This month we just happened to do it the few days prior to getting a positive OPK. I am cautiously optimistic.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? We would love to move to NC, either Charlotte or Raleigh. Much lower cost of living and life is a bit slower. We have beeb applying for jobs, but so far no luck.
TTC#2 September 2015
DD #1 born July 2014
Clomid 50 mg x2 months- no ovulation
Clomid 100mg x 2 months- confirmed ovulation first month, BFN
CD/DPO: 24/5
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1
Testing: I'm planning to wait until this weekend which would be 10 DPO.
R/R/CS: I'm not sure why, but I feel out this cycle. Since it's the first cycle TTC since a loss maybe it's just my way of not getting my hope up. Even though I feel out, I'd to love to be proven wrong! My temperatures are still holding high so I'm just waiting to see how things play out over the week.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? I would move to the upper northwest because it's so gorgeous up there. Also, I opt for cooler environments. I'd die in the southern heat.
TTC since November 2015
BFP #1 12/17/15 - MC 1/28/16
BFP #2 4/22/16 - EDD 12/30/16
CD/DPO: 23/7
Timing: -5, -2, -1, O
Testing: Still thinking Saturday if I don't cave before that.
R/R/CS: My bumping time will be super limited today, I have an intern starting and don't want to look, you know, wildly unprofessional.
But, I made it through my first full week of Whole 30!!! I'm pretty proud of myself!
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why?
Coastal Maine in the summer, coastal SC in the winter. I am a wimp with super hot or cold temperatures but love those two places!
CD/DPO: 25/5
Timing: -5, -3, -1
Testing: I've been saying Easter (11dpo) but may test the day before instead.
R/R/CS: I just looked at charts like mine and 50% of them were pregnancy charts. My hopes have been and still are crazy high for this cycle, so I'm setting myself up for a huge let down if it doesn't work out.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? Honestly, I love where we live. I love having four seasons, and the fact that we don't really have any extreme weather besides an occasional winter storm. When we retire, we may move to a warmer climate like the Carolinas or Georgia or Florida. But I'm not a huge fan of the heat, so we'll see.
Married: July 2015
BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
@sldp123 Fingers crossed that your chart becomes one of the good 50%!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 20/3 (I think)
Timing: really good if I O'd when I think I did!
Testing: I'm not sure yet if I'll bring a test (or four) to Mexico...we'll see how bsc I am when I pack! We leave when I'm 8DPO so I'll most likely bring a couple
R/R/CS: FF didn't give me my CH based on temping so I changed it manually based on +opk and pain...my temps didn't rise for three days straight but I don't sleep well and I was sick, so I'm winging it this month.
GTKY: I'm Canadian! I love the heat of Texas and Arizona but don't think I'd want to live there 12 months a year...maybe somewhere close to the border.
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 23/9?
Timing: -2, +1, +4
Testing: saturday or sunday since that should be CD1-ish based on possible O of CD14
R/R/CS: My chart now looks like I've O'd twice lol I'm hoping that the dip on 6&7DPO is the elusive implantation dip but who knows. Like I said before, not getting my hopes up this cycle with being sick midway through. But with my luck, this would be the cycle because of that lol
**I guess I should ask since I'm still new to temping, DID I O on CD 14? It looks very similar to last month when I know I did, this second dip just doesn't seem low enough for O for me. Very confused right now, can you tell?**
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? I do love the mountain side of North Carolina (I have family there) or Tennessee right over those mountains. But honestly, I love where I'm at and wouldnt change the area for the world. I live in the same county that I grew up in, the only time I've lived outside this county was in college for about a year which totally doesn't count

CD/DPO: 37/6
Timing: -4, -3, -2, O, +1
Testing: trying not to think about it
R/R/CS: I had this weird pain in my abdomen yesterday, not like my normal endo pain. DH asked if it could be implantation, so I had to explain that it was too early and I wouldn't really feel that. It's so cute that he's excited, though! My temp also went up another 0.25 degrees this morning.
GTKY: If I choose, it would probably be a bigger city, but I really love where we live now. Small city and close to the beach. DH would love to live in the mountains.

Testing with RE October 2016
BFP 11/5/2016 ~ EDD 7/19/2016
CD/DPO: 22/3
Timing: -2, -1 if I'm right about O day
Testing: nowhere near yet
R/R/CS: Monday morning booo - walk into the office to a HUGOMUNGO pile of work (took off last friday). So0o0o I probably shouldn't be sitting here on the bump, but doing work, but oh well haha. It'll all get done right?
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? I would probably pick SoCal. I think I would be happier in a place that is warm all year round and would have more energy to work out. I also would love to be closer to all the amazing places in the pacific northwest (love hiking, camping, kayaking, skiing, etc.).

@HurricaneAmelia Yeah, great timing!! GL this cycle!
@L9i FX for you and I’m very sorry for your loss.
@houseofsetters Great timing this cycle! FX for you.
@sldp123 That happened to me this cycle. Charts like mine had me at 65 % pregnancy charts and then my BBT gave me a nice smack across the face this morning. Hopefully things are different for you though!! FX!
@JessCL A fellow Canadian!! Me too. From Toronto, you?
@ladystinson Sorry your chart is confusing you. FX for you this cycle.
@pretzel2plus1 It’s so nice that DH is so involved! FX for you!!
Month/Cycle: 5/4
CD/DPO: 32/14
Timing: Not good enough apparently… -5,-4,-2,-1,0
Testing: Done. BFN from 9dpo-13dpo. Just waiting for AF tomorrow like clockwork tomorrow.
R/R/CS: Really feeling like crap today emotionally. Had my hopes way too high this cycle and I just feel crushed. I’m sure CD 1 is tomorrow. Hopefully AF gets here fast so I can move on over to WTO.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? I’m Canadian and although I love the U.S., have an American DH and lived there for 5 years, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere other than where I am right now in Toronto. We chose to come back to Canada for many reasons. But, if we did move back to the states, I’d say anywhere with warm weather…probably Myrtle Beach.

If I can bring all my family and friends with me, then off to Hawaii we go! Fell in love with it on our Honeymoon. There were 2 bartenders at our resort in Kauai that moved there years ago and just work at this pool bar that is open from 11-5. Talk about a stress-free life with a gorgeous view every single day. I could drop the stresses of my career and dealing with snow for all of that in a heartbeat, lol.

I also did a clear blue, got a plus sign even sooner. I'm still wary, I never test this early. I have a new pack of 25 wondfos coming today, so I'm just going to be using them like crazy!
R/R/CS: I want to say thank you for all the amazing women on this board who have helped me more than you know. Having a place of support when there is nowhere else to go is an amazing thing. You women are awesome.

Month/Cycle: 7/6
CD/DPO: 33/ ??? (I don't know what to do now that my CHs were taken away. Should I go back to WTO?)
Timing:
Testing: I tested Friday and Saturday. Both were BFNs. I won't be testing again this cycle...
R/R/CS: Still waiting for AF to arrive. I have been feeling all of the usual signs, but with no indication AF will actually start. I'm trying to remain positive, but it's been a hard couple of months. The good news is that the quarter ended on Friday and grades are due this afternoon. I love the start of a quarter because it really is a fresh start. I have no papers to grade and fourth quarter is always slightly easier than any of the others. We only have 43 days left of school and 33 days left with seniors. Everyone is in a much better mood now because the weight of 3rd quarter has been lifted and it's finally spring.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why?
I honestly enjoy living in Nebraska. We get all four seasons...sometimes even in one week. For example, today it's going to be in the mid-60s. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the low-to-mid-70s. Then there's a chance of snow on Wednesday night. I love playing in the snow in winter and the hot, humid nights of summer around a fire pit with friends. I love the crispness of fall, and the birds chirping in the morning in spring. We've got it all here. Living in Omaha, we have the big city feel with the small town politeness. We have an outstanding music scene and a wide variety of theatrical options. We have fantastic restaurants and the best zoo in the country. We have the NCAA Men's College World Series of Baseball, the NCAA Women's Volleyball Championship, and we've hosted the Olympic Swim Trials and will again this year. Okay...I'm done...***goes back to corner in embarrassment***

@l9i Sorry you're feeling down about your cycle. Fx for you.
@houseofsetters Good job on Week 1 of your Whole30!
@sldp123 I have been avoiding the Charts Like Mine feature this week because I can already feel the BSC coming up this month. I also have really high hopes this month.
@JessCL Have fun in Mexico! That sounds amazing right now.
@ladystinson Being sick can definitely throw your temps off, so it's hard to pinpoint O, especially with missing temps. FWIW, sometimes (like this month) I don't get an O dip, and sometimes I do. So just because your temp didn't dip, doesn't mean O didn't happen that day!
@pretzel2plus1 That's cute that your H was excited!
@Heatho620 I also have a huge mountain of work and probably shouldn't be on the Bump...
@kfair001 Sorry about the BFNs
@Sparty18 Sorry about the BFNs
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 5
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing: 10DPO (Saturday)
R/R/CS: The BSC is real this cycle. I feel like I've put a lot of pressure on myself this month. Trying to act casual about it, but the reality is that I have no chill.
We spent this weekend doing some spring cleaning around the house, and H got it in his head that he wanted to replace all of the smoke detectors in the house. We went and bought some new ones, and he spent all day installing them yesterday. I commented on them, saying that the brand new white ones looked a lot better than the old dingy yellowish ones we had before, and he said that while that was true, we needed new ones so that the house would be safer for a baby. He's not the most emotional guy, and he doesn't always talk about wanting a baby as vocally as I do, so to me that action was the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why?
Honestly, I would stay where I'm at. The PNW is totally where my heart is. I completely love living in Washington state. Although, if I did have to choose somewhere else, I would love to live in Hawaii. But I know I would start to miss mountains and forests after awhile.

*Question in R/R/CS*
Month/Cycle: 7/2 TTCAL
CD/DPO: 17/0 or 1
Timing: -3,-2,O or -4,-3,-1
Testing: not right now
R/R/CS: So my cycles have been messed up and I've been super stressed this last week so my O was later than I expected. I was using OPK's and when they weren't positive by CD 14 (when I "usually" O) I started testing 2x a day to be sure I didn't miss it. Saturday PM was definitely negative but Sunday AM, PM, and this morning were all pretty positive. Should I count yesterday or today as O? I'm going to test again later today I'm just wondering what you ladies would do.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why?
I moved from Michigan down to South Carolina and I've lived pretty close to Georgia. I've also visited different parts of the country but I don't think I would want to move anywhere else than right here. I love the warm weather and all the fun stuff you can do here in SC.

Month/Cycle: 2

Testing: Plan: 14DPO. Reality: probably tomorrow.
R/R/CS: I've had AF like cramping the last 2 days (7-8dpo, LP is a very consistent 13 days) and it took everything in my power to keep the BSC quiet in my head and not test this morning. I'll probably cave tomorrow morning though.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why?
I honestly like it here in NJ (we live just a few minutes from the GW Bridge). But just for fun....weather-wise, I'd probably consider SoCal (San Diego maybe), or.....cost of living-wise, anywhere else in the country. Haha.

@houseofsetters congrats on week 1! I'll be hitting the big 3-0 next year...thinking of renting a bounce house lol.
@heatho620 ugh I fell your pain. Taking off this week so I'm scared of the email the email flood we'll come back to
@itsmehere1212 congrats on the bfp. fx for h&h 9.
Month/Cycle: 7/6
CD/DPO: 25/11
Timing: -4 0 +2
Testing: Got impatient and tested bfp saturday, but def too early
R/R/CS: thinking im out this round. getting my normal symptoms and timing is awful. We booked our honeymoon a few months ago when FF said I would get AF near 3/30. Last cycle was short so now I'm showing AF coming the day we leave. oh jeez, I'm gonna stock up on chocolate and wine...
We're also trying to buy a house but we're battling investors with cash yuck. Outbid on our first choice, wont hear back on our second choice until tues.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why?
North Georgia Mountains or TN mountains.
We're taking our honeymoon there this week and I'm dying to just stay there.
They actually have seasons (which ive never seen in fl) and snow and the views from the mountains take my breath away.
My Personal, Frequently Changing Gif Party>>>
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 27/12
Timing: -3, O, +1
Testing: BFNs all around
R/R/CS: I'm almost sure I'm out. My LP has increased over the last five months from 10-11 days to 12-13, which is a bit of a mindfuck sometimes. I tried to talk myself into getting excited about my lack of AF symptoms this month (bc having no symptoms obviously means I'm ktfu) but it's just a weird month, I think. My temp went up a tiny bit today, but I'm mentally preparing for tomorrow's crash.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why?
If money and / or jobs aren't a concern, definitely the Florida Keys - maybe Key West. We love it down there. If we need to still make a living, I'm not sure. We've discussed the possibility of the San Antonio or Corpus Christi areas, but that would be years down the road. Wisconsin does just fine for now, besides the winter months. Our city is a lot of fun in the summer and Springs and autumns in WI are glorious.

R/R/CS: I am crazy, wanting to buy announcement type things for easter to give to our parents that day.. But I know it's ridiculous. Lol step back from the ledge.
Rant: my temperature was right at my cover line this morning. What the hey. I'll try not to read into it.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? North Carolina! All the houses look so cute, the history, the natural terrain, and the much lower cost of living.

Ugh Mondays...
@HurricaneAmelia - I'm thinking I might need a TB break. I'm always SUPER excited for the BFPs, but as I get further along in my TTC journey, they sting a little bit more every time. Glad to have you back!
@l9i - FX for you this cycle! Your timing looks fantastic!
@houseofsetters - congrats on your first week of Whole30! GL to you!
@sldp123 - My fingers are crossed so hard for you right now! I hope you're in the 50% of pregnancy charts!
@JessCL - Enjoy your time in Mexico! What area are you going to visit? I think it would be so awesome to be able to tell your partner on a trip like that! FX!
@ladystinson - my vote would be for CD14. It's just so tough to tell with the fevers in there. If you were sick, though, I would say you might have Od later, like on CD 21. Sorry. I know that means nothing. I guess, if I were sick, I would lean more towards the later O day of CD21.
@pretzel2plus1 - I love it when my H asks questions and gets excited. It's really sweet. Glad that your H seems to be as curious and interested as mine. FX for you!
@Heatho620 - I'm in the same boat you are! I had a massive pile of papers to grade and now I have to put them in the gradebooks online. And...I have no motivation. So I'm here bumping instead. Seems like the better choice.
@kfair001 - So sorry to hear about your BFN. Creepy internet hugs to you. Be kind to yourself today. I'll see you over in WTO, if AF ever decides to show her face to me, too.
@Sparty18 - So sorry about your BFN, lady! You had amazing timing this cycle. Creepy internet hugs.
@Lecool - Your DH sounds like my dad a little bit. My dad was never super emotional or showed his feelings, but he always made sure the house was safe for my brother and me. He never really said it, but my dad always showed us how much he cared. Your future LO sounds like he/she will be very much loved.
@becbec28 - I'm not the most efficient when it comes to charting, but I would say that you O after your LH surge. I would test again this afternoon to see if you still have a positive OPK, if the line is lighter than the control, I would say your O day would be tomorrow. I could be wrong, though.
@hupp0013 - We're in the same boat. AF is avoiding me. It's getting a little disheartening to see all of the BFNs.
@juliebeannn - You have far more self-control than I do. I'd be testing every. Single. Day. FX for some good news for you when you do test!
Okay. I'll be back later for more responses!
ETA: @sLass42 - Sorry to hear AF might show up before you leave for your honeymoon! I agree chocolate and wine! FX for your second choice!
@QueenSunscreen - Sorry to hear about the BFN and about your LPs being inconsistent. I'm having the same problem.
@LadyMillil - FX for your beta tomorrow! Hopefully it will have good news for you!
@Sugargirl1019 - I'd hold off on the announcement. I had bought a pair of shoes in December to tell DH if I got KTFU over Christmas. And am still not KTFU. I had to donate those shoes last month because constantly seeing them made me incredibly sad. DH and I have also decided that we'd wait until I was at 12 weeks before telling anyone, just in case. FX, though, that AF stays away and the Easter bunny brings you a nice BFP!
Month/Cycle:17/10
CD/DPO: 18/1
Timing: -2, IUI, +1
Testing: Probably tomorrow to start testing out the trigger shot.
R/R/CS: Pretty chill. Not feeling any symptoms really of any kind which is crazy as usually my Met makes me feel pukey.
GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why?
Hmm probably back to the cities where I lived for 10 years. A ton of my friends live there, and I really enjoyed the city life.
hupp0013 You are so patient. I always think I will wait to test and then I have no self control.
Lecool Awe! Your husband sounds so sweet! Ps. I have no chill either.
BerkeBaby I hope grading went well for you and that you have a good start to the next quarter.
itsmehere1212 Whooo! Excited for you! GL and best wishes!
JessCL Fun that your going on vaca! Enjoy some relaxation and adventures!

GTKY: If you could move anywhere in the US, where would it be and why? Back to my hometown. My entire family is there and I miss them.

@TotororyInLove Sorry for looming CD1.
@BecauseLove FX for testing tomorrow!
@Sugargirl1019 I hope the Easter bunny is kind to you!
@LadyMillil So sorry for the BFNs. I can only imagine how frustrating that is after all you are going through. Hugs.
@QueenSunscreen Sorry for the BFNs.
@sLass42 Hope you get the house!
@juliebeannn FX for testing tomorrow!
@hupp0013 Even though my answer today was Hawaii, in real life, we also want to be snowbirds one day. I love Michigan in the summer and would love to escape it in the winter.
@becbec28 I agree with others, if you are not temping, keep using the OPKs and definitely keep HIO!
@Lecool That is so cute your H said/did that. I also can relate to the pressure, I try not to do that to myself, but it's pretty much impossible to be relaxed about all this.
@BerkeBaby I really hope you can move on from this cycle soon! Obviously it'd be best for you to get a BFP, but I know you would also welcome AF right now. FX one or the other happens soon. Thanks for the creepy hugs, right back at ya!
@pretzel2plus1 It's always so funny (and cute) when our Hs have these questions. I think it is their way of trying to feel like they are a part of our daily drama lol.
@ladystinson As others have said, it is hard to determine due to your fever, but that may have also delayed O, so I'd keep HIO to be safe!
@JessCL Very jealous of your Mexico trip. Even though it is spring now, I definitely saw a few snowflakes this morning and I'm not ok with that.
@sldp123 It can be so hard to look at that charts like yours thing, but I hope it pans out for you!
@l9i I hope you are proven wrong, too!
@houseofsetters Congrats on making it through your first week of Whole 30!
@kfair001 Sorry you're feeling as crushed as I am. Let's hug it out.
@HurricaneAmelia Welcome back and I'm glad you had good timing!
@itsmehere1212 Congrats!! Very happy for you, have a H&H 9 months and have fun using all those wondfos when they arrive!
