@HurricaneAmelia that would be mortifying! Good thing you had extra pants! FX for your BFP.
@beary67 I literally ate jelly beans for breakfast this morning lol @PennStateCait zika is scary and it seems like they don't really know what is safe vs. not safe. We are both totally avoiding all zika countries until we have our LO. But your DH will know if he gets it won't he? Can they test for it?
Month/cycle: 3/4
CD/DPO: 19/7
Timing: -4,-3,-2,-1
Testing: Plan was to hold out until AF is due (should be 1 week) but I bought new tests yesterday.
R/R/CS: Yesterday one of my BFs had her baby. So happy for her but also a little sad that we aren't KU yet. She is one of only 2 people that know we are TTC and we were hoping to be on mat leave together (we get 1 year in Canada so there would be overlap).
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? A few things but probably the worst was waiting in line to get into a concert and a bird pooped on my head. I couldn't leave the security line to clean it up so had to wait like 45 min before I could run to the washroom and clean my hair.

@Sugargirl1019 I believe the sensitivity on the estimator Digi is 50. At 12DPO I was only 36. It's truly possible you are seeing lines on a pink dye & not turning a Digi cause it is too soon.
If you want to send me pics of your sticks or see mine I'm not weirded by seeing things you've peed on.

I don't mean to have you tell me I am or not, but, another set of eyes would be great! I'll PM you now. And also your sticks would be great. I'm a nurse, not much grosses me out.

Testing: tested this morning.
BFN on a cheapie, not even a squinter. Will probably test every day until
Monday.
R/R/CS: I’m having a hard time
remembering what my cycles were like. I’ve been on BC since I was 19 so I’m not
totally sure. Now I’ve had four consistent cycles of 27/28 days and it just
feels too good to be true…
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to
you?
OMG. Hah. I have many sadly. However
last summer a friend and I drove to the next city over to visit our other
friend, go to the river, go have lunch and shop some. Well it’s later in the
day and were just finishing up shopping when I feel sick. I start heading to
the bathroom which is on the complete opposite side of the store. On my way
there I have a terrible accident
I have to buy new shorts, clean up
and all this. When I return to my friends they asked why I changed shorts and I
just told them I started my period. However on the way home my friend tells me
to pull over. She had the same problem, minus the accident in the shorts.
Needless to say we must of gotten food poisoning or something.

@rkstro2 I'm happy to hear FF changed your cross hairs. Hopefully your chart makes more sense now!
@leksil I would recommend putting the thermometer right next to your bed and temping right away when the alarm goes off. I know it seems stressful, but you will get used to it.
@nwegman7878 it's wayyyy too early to tell if you are out this cycle! FX for you!
@canavara sorry about the temp drop but that's great that you know your LP is at least 12 days now!
@ladystinson way to get out of your speeding ticket!! Nice job!
@becbec28 buying your first home is super stressful! However, once you get pass the boring stuff, it's super fun to actually move in and make it your own!
@teamginger13 OMG that happened to us in the winter except at our house, when one is low, all of the smoke detectors go off. We spent all night trying to figure it out. Why do those things only happen in the middle of the night!?!
@BusinessWife Uhhhhh! I hate your DH getting in the way of our 'friendship!' I've missed seeing you around!
@KarliQ88 are you temping to confirm ovulation? (Sorry if you've mentioned this before and I've missed it).
@BecauseLove sorry about the BFN. It's still early, though!
@PennStateCait I've heard people say 2 weeks. 6 months seems like forever! I'm hoping that's not true!!
@TheJerilu OMG the drama at your wedding!! From an outsider, it sounds pretty funny. I'm sure you were not amused on your wedding day!
@Sugargirl1019 a line is a line! Also, digi's are more sensitive, so if you had a line on a test, it still may be too soon to turn a digi. Keep us updated!
@MamaMunn you are not a terrible bumpie! I don't have any whole 30 tips, but I have seen others talk about it before, so I'm hoping you get some tips!
@sheshoe sorry about the BFN. FX that you get your BFP this cycle!

@beary67
Acccck, it was soooo embarrassing because we are 100% anti-drama people.
You'll probably appreciate what he said to me the next time I saw him a few weeks later:
"Hey, I just wanted to say I'm sorry..." (Me internally, "oh how mature, for once he acknowledges his total jagoff behavior -") "I'm sorry, but thank you for pairing me with your hottest bridesmaid. The other two were okay, but she was gorgeous."
And that was the last time I ever spoke to him.
@felix08 – ahh that’s a hard one. Knowing me, I would probably want to wait until Saturday but I totally would test tomorrow anyway. I hope you have a fun trip.
@pretzel2plus1 – I am by no means an expert at CS but CD31 looks right for O day. I would say its entirely possible that the lap could have helped extend your LP.
@kirby1220 – Right there with you on the SS/lack of symptoms. FX for you!
@MelissaM090 – lol I too have googled leg cramping as an early pregnancy symptom…I would test if it would ease your mind! Let us know
@beary67 – I totally LOL’d at the jelly bean sleepwalking..i imagine that’s a bit scary though.
@PepperAT – I hope you feel better and that you aren’t coming down with anything!
@becbec28 – Good luck with your closing! Congratulations on your new home.
@teamginger13 – the beeping would drive be BSC. I would climbed ontop of SO’s shoulders to get that fixed haha
@AMGreely – Sorry for BFN! FX for a different result Thursday.
@linzrunz – I would love to get purple or pink highlights. My job wouldn’t approve unfortunately. Enjoy your hair appt!
@BusinessWife – You have to do what you have to do! We are here for you when you come back. I have been in and out myself. It’s a crazy time of year for work so its hard to follow up with everyone. We can only do our best
@KarliQ88 – We are testing day buddies! We can totally hold out! Only 3 more days The TWW (especially the latter part) can be very frustrating. Just know that you aren’t alone! FX for you.
@BecauseLove – Sorry for the BFN. Family vacation sounds fun! Its always nice to have something to look forward to! Enjoy.
@PennStateCait – I would follow what your doctor says. If DH is exhibiting symptoms then maybe prolong a little more than 2 weeks after hes been checked out?
@TheJerilu – Testing day buddies! And Oh hell no. I would have handed him the bus or train schedule and put him on his merry way!
@Sugargirl1090 – **TW, prev BFP mentioned** When I was pregnant with DS, I got a positive on a line test at 12dpo but didn’t turn a digi until 15dpo…so I’ll keep my FX for you!
@MamaMunn – I don’t have any Whole30 tips other than good luck!! The people I know who have done it have felt amazing afterwards. I would like to give it a try too one day.
@clover28 – Boo to the IL’s! but there is still hope!
@Mommyforthefirsttime - I get super irritable during O as well. I don’t even get that way with PMS but I notice that on the day I Ovulate, I can’t stand people and my patience runs thin which is odd for me because my patience level is pretty high normally.
@kiwielopingbride – I hear if a bird poops on your head, that’s good luck! But still…I wouldn’t want that to happen to me.
R/R/CS: sooo remember how I said yesterday my chart was actually pretty this month...well I keep my BBT in my pillowcase and FI decided to be helpful yesterday when I was at work and washed the sheets and such...and my BBT!!! I couldn't even be mad bc he washed the sheets but yea..I have to go buy a new one today.
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? I pretty much embarrass myself daily so I'll just pick an old one - I was about 14 or 15 and was grocery shopping with my mom - we were at the lunch meat counter and the lady behind the counter cut herself on the slicer..now I didn't see anything - I just heard she cut herself and I found myself waking up on the floor ...I passed out on ShopRite underneath one of the cheese cases. I was mortified.
@Mommyforthefirsttime - I get super irritable during O as well. I don’t even get that way with PMS but I notice that on the day I Ovulate, I can’t stand people and my patience runs thin which is odd for me because my patience level is pretty high normally.
Thank God it isn't just me. I narrowed it down I think to the day before I ovulate to the day after. Hard to tell for sure. But geeze. I'm awful when I am typically really easy going. Unfortunately my husband bears 99% of my anger. What a trooper. It doesn't happy with PMS for me either... I just cry with that. Ha.
I love your embarrassing story. Poor thing. I have friends that are queasy with blood and I'm so mean about it. Ha. But I worked in a hospital so it was easy for me. Now I just work with chemicals since I'm a chemist but I miss the blood...

Yay!!!!! After much deliberation with some ladies from Dec 2016 after looking at pee sticks (okay some not deliberating at all), I went and got a FRER and there is totally a second pink line!! It's so beautiful I want to cry. Thank you so much for teaching me and for your support! The fact that some of you PM behind the scenes to discuss pee sticks (even OPKs) is just awesome and I'm grateful for all of you. It's so nice to have someone else be excited like me! I've already shown DH, and he's excited but not squealing jumping up and down like me. I pray that you all get to experience your excitement soon! When it doubt, get a FRER!

@canavara your story cracked me up.. I have fainting spells and while I'm sorry to hear it happened, makes me feel less alone!
Month/cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 18/8
Timing: -4, -2, 0
Testing: Saturday at 12dpo
R/R/CS: Aside from some cramping at 6dpo, I have had zero symptoms. I keep looking at the percentages of bfp at (X)dpo.. Trying to justify that I can take a test sooner.
GTKY: My fainting spells were worse when my period started. In high school, I was feeling dizzy in class. I knew I was going to pass out, but I was too embarrassed to say I wasn't feeling well (BC of AF).
The bell rings, I go into the Hall where there is a rush of kids. I don't remember passing out, but I woke up with people stepping over me. Rumors spread for a few days that I was on drugs (I was not).. But that passed quickly luckily.
Testing: Whenever I feel like I should have gotten AF by now...lol
R/R/CS: Nothing today really....boring day. Temps still up..so that's good. Just curious as to when AF will show because I O'ed like a week after I thought I would. Goodbye what I thought were regular 22 day cycles!
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?
Once I was sitting in church, and all the sudden I felt like I was going to puke. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've puked in my lifetime so this was strange. I had to inch past people in the pew and pretty much RAN to the bathroom right by the pastor who was speaking. Needless to say, I didn't make it and puked all over the floor (an old church...carpet *shudder*) right out side the door to the sanctuary where EVERYONE could hear. Some people came out to help me and help clean up and they were gagging as they were trying to clean it up. Then everyone was all like "ooooh are you pregnant!??!?"....I still have no idea why it happened.
@HurricaneAmelia Sorry for the BFN...FX that it's actually a BFP!
@rkstro2 At least people stopped! That's nice. I fell ONTO a bus once as I was getting on and everyone just stared at me!
@leksiL I find I jolt awake and take my temp now like it's a reflex...and sometimes it'll be like 2AM lol....it's definitely annoying!
@nwegman7878 Fx for a BFP even if you feel out this cycle. I can't believe you have to pay...it breaks my heart honestly. I think it's covered here to a certain degree...or so many treatments or something. Hopefully you don't have to go that route!
@canavara Sorry for the dip, at least you have a positive outlook! I can't believe that happened to you, that sounds horrible!!! Funny story...I just watched that special on youtube a few weeks ago and it was SO SAD. It made me cry.
@ladystinson that totally sounds like you're KU....Fx for a BFP!!!! Also, I'm so sorry that happened to you but I laughed really hard....
@Heatho620 Sorry for the BFN That sounds horrible... At least DH was supportive lol
@pretzel2plus1Hmm...I'm leaning towards CD35...but I really don't know.
@kirby1220I can feel my face getting red for you! >_<
@MelissaM090 Fx that you get some sort of answer...hopefully a BFP!! And I laughed pretty hard...that's a pretty witty comment
@beary67 I'm known to fridge/cupboard stalk at 3AM too lol...maybe that's why I'm not losing weight so fast :Lol:
@PepperAT Hopefully you feel better soon! And I had a visual of "cool chair jump"...it was pretty funny
@becbec28 We bought a house in September! So I definitely sympathize with the moving craziness!
@AMGreely Sorry for the BFN. I'm also going BSC playing the waiting game.
@linzrunz Sorry for the BFN. I'm currently at school and sitting in the library in some sketchy back corner computer so no one can walk by and see that I'm bumping lol. I hate that the tab at the top says "trying to get pregnant"...I've had some weird looks from coworkers when bumping at work.
@BusinessWife Sorry that DH said that, mine is the same. He said I'm "trying too hard" *sigh*
@KarliQ88 I'm in the same boat (month 2)...it's really frustrating and I'm really impatient. That's why I think the ladies who have been waiting for months and years are probably the strongest people ever!
Ok folks...I've got to run....I will try to come back later for the rest!!! xo

vintageandrea90 I pay a lot of money out of pocket each month for my health insurance so all of my treatment and tests so far have been covered, but I get a lifetime max of $35k towards "fertility treatments". As soon as I'm being treated by an RE, everything falls under that fertility treatment category. Seeing as each ultrasound is almost $1000, IUIs are $600-800 and IVF is $12-15k I just don't want to dip into that $35k in case we have to go that route down the line.
linzrunz That is a awesome embarrassing story! KarliQ88 TWW is a beast...TTC has made me sorta surprised anyone accidentally gets prego. FX BusinessWife We took a prescribed month off after my follies didn't get big enough one month and I have to say it was a much needed break. DH and I just enjoyed time together and I wasn't trying to chart everything which felt really nice...its like I had my brain back. Sugargirl1019 Congrats!! Wishing you a h&H 9 months! So exciting!

@Marley629 yay testing buddy!!! I'm debating holding out until Monday though if no AF. Like i said typically 24/26 days but once i had a 29. Never anything longer! I dont feel like im getting AF. Nor do i feel pregnancy symptoms (too early). I just feel normal. Fx for you too.
First off @sugargirl1019 happy to hear you officially got a BFP! Congrats!
@ladystinson Yeah, I was really trying not to give into the fear mongering but a few other countries aside from Brazil have developed the microcephaly and other birth defects from Zika so I started to get worried. I just don't want to be selfish and keep trying when it's not safe. That's not to say it's not safe... my doctor said 2 weeks... I just feel like there's such a lack of information available right now. I'm also hoping it's like West Nile. Definitely hoping the major panic part is over soon.
@leksiL if he doesn't get any mosquito bites I'll feel so much better! My fingers are crossed that that is the case. There are lots of different mosquito sprays and wipes on Amazon if you want to check them out for your cruise! They keep selling out/being restocked so check them out early if you can!
@kiwielopingbride I wish they could test for it. DH won't know if he'll get it, I think only 20% of people who get it exhibit symptoms? There is no reliable and readily available test. Even if my doctor wanted to test him, there isn't the means yet. That's why some doctors and countries are just recommending protected sex for a certain period of time. Once the whole Zika thing started circulating in the news is when I cancelled my ticket for the cruise but it's for my MIL's 50th birthday so we both decided DH should still go. At that point we didn't know it was an STD. Ugh.
@beary67 It's so nice to hear you've also heard 2 weeks. I had never heard 6 months until last night. I'm reverting my plan to 2 weeks. Thank you!
@Marley629 Yeah, I think that's what I'll do! Thanks for the calming words during a moment of panic. I sent DH off with lots of DEET in the form of spray, wipes, etc.

TTC #1 since Nov. 2015 Dx: Both tubes blocked, PCOS, DOR, RPL IVF Cycle #1 Dec. 2016 - 11R·11M·5F - Transferred 2 - BFP - Miscarriage - 0 Embryos Left

Testing: I usually don't, but I'm going to SF this weekend to see some friends and they want to do drinks and such, so I guess Friday. I really hate testing and am not feeling optimistic at all.
R/R/CS: I took Unisom to sleep last night and am SO groggy.
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? OMG... It was so bad. I had just turned 21 and had too much to drink, threw up in a cab, and had to call my mom because I didn't have my credit card on me and the guy was obviously charging me for a cleaning. She went and told her entire office, and also keeps reminding me 9 years later. Awesome. Please still be my friends, you guys.

Testing: BFN this morning. Not sure if I'll test until AF.
R/R/CS: I'm sooooo over this cycle. My boobs are killing me. My OPKs just arrived and I temped with my new Mabis BBT this morning, so I'm ready to get onto cycle 3 and really use them, but AF is still nowhere in sight. I've been waking up the last few mornings like

@nwegman7878 The BSC is definitely setting in. And, like you, I have a realllly hard time keeping it at bay when at work--googling absurd symptoms is just so much more interesting than actually working, ha! I think I will wait and see if my temp goes up tomorrow to decide whether I should test. At least our mini-vacation should distract me pretty well for the final leg of this TWW!!
@pretzel2plus1 SO rude of your employers to expect actual work out of you! Also, I wonder if maybe you did O on CD35...but I am a terrible chart stalker, so who knows!!
@melissam090 GL with whatever you decide--testing or not!And I think your embarrassing story is awesome! That's a hilarious response to a makeout proposal.
@rkstro2 thank you for not making me feel crazy for thinking about testing tomorrow! I know we will be drinking so I feel like I should test just for that reassurance. It's the responsible thing to do, right!?
@linzrunz Haha, that's the worst when someone can spy on your computer activity at work! Makes it so much harder to be non-productive. GL with your dentist/hair appointments!
@businesswife no need to apologize for not being around as much--we all need to do what we can to keep our sanity!
@karliq88 The TWW definitely does not get any easier as time goes on, either!! FX that it DOES happen for you on the first try, but try not to get down if it doesn't.
@thejerilu If it makes you feel better...one of our groomsmen also got belligerently drunk, hit on my (married with children) aunt, and slept in our suite. He honestly slept in our suite.
@clover28 sorry that you missed -1/0 (I can't imagine staying up that late to BD, either), but your timing is still good. You're definitely not out!
@becbec28 I'll do it if you do it!! Haha. I will probably wait and see how I feel in the morning.
@kiwielopingbride sorry you are feeling a bit down about your friend. It's the worst when you are supposed to be happy for someone but you can't help feeling a little resentful or sad.
@beary67 aaah I dunno what to do! My mind changes by the second. I'll probably be able to drink either way (assuming it'd be a BFN), so maybe I'll just test to be sure.
@marley629 thanks for your input--that's exactly how I feel. I want to wait, but probably will not. Sorry about your BBT!
@twentysixth I was also just looking at percentages of false negatives...looks like if we test tomorrow at 9dpo its about 50/50.
@thejerilu If it makes you feel better...one of our groomsmen also got belligerently drunk, hit on my (married with children) aunt, and slept in our suite. He honestly slept in our suite.
@felix08 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. NOOOOOO. NO NOOOOOOOOO. While I am happy to have a friend in wtf-land, I am sooooo sorry that he slept in your suite wtf ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
R/R/CS: I'm a newbie just joined and trying to get involved, not sure what this is!
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? I was working at a retail store and I bent over to stick some shelves and *riiiiiip* my pants split from belt loop to crotch luckily we sold pants also and I had a jacket to tie around my waist. Eeeek!
@sarah1198 welcome! R/R/CS = rants/raves/chart stalk. There's a list of acronyms in the newbie thread pinned at the top of the TTGP board, not all are there but a lot of the common ones we use are!
@RatsPJ. Thank you, I read through it earlier and think I have most of them down but I couldn't figure that one out and am terrible at navigating this app!
R/R/CS: happy this is the first time I've ovulated in like 15 years but nervous to get my hopes up I could be having an actual cycle.
R/R/CS: This is our first month TTC #1. I'm trying to force myself not to take tests because it's probably too soon, but I can't help it… I'm happy to have found this community! Have been lurking for a while, but I've realized that it would be nice to share these experiences with people also going through it.
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? I was peacefully enjoying a yoga class when the teacher led us through some sun salutations. As I was stretching into downward dog, my old flimsy leggins ripped at my butt and I showed the incredibly flexible and strong older woman behind me my bright red panties. Thankfully she just smiled and maintained focus on her practice… I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, I just quietly walked out of the class.
Re: TWW Tuesday
@beary67 I literally ate jelly beans for breakfast this morning lol
@PennStateCait zika is scary and it seems like they don't really know what is safe vs. not safe. We are both totally avoiding all zika countries until we have our LO. But your DH will know if he gets it won't he? Can they test for it?
Month/cycle: 3/4
CD/DPO: 19/7
Timing: -4,-3,-2,-1
Testing: Plan was to hold out until AF is due (should be 1 week) but I bought new tests yesterday.
R/R/CS: Yesterday one of my BFs had her baby. So happy for her but also a little sad that we aren't KU yet. She is one of only 2 people that know we are TTC and we were hoping to be on mat leave together (we get 1 year in Canada so there would be overlap).
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? A few things but probably the worst was waiting in line to get into a concert and a bird pooped on my head. I couldn't leave the security line to clean it up so had to wait like 45 min before I could run to the washroom and clean my hair.

@Sugargirl1019 I believe the sensitivity on the estimator Digi is 50. At 12DPO I was only 36. It's truly possible you are seeing lines on a pink dye & not turning a Digi cause it is too soon.

R/R/CS: I’m having a hard time remembering what my cycles were like. I’ve been on BC since I was 19 so I’m not totally sure. Now I’ve had four consistent cycles of 27/28 days and it just feels too good to be true…
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?
OMG. Hah. I have many sadly. However last summer a friend and I drove to the next city over to visit our other friend, go to the river, go have lunch and shop some. Well it’s later in the day and were just finishing up shopping when I feel sick. I start heading to the bathroom which is on the complete opposite side of the store. On my way there I have a terrible accident
I have to buy new shorts, clean up and all this. When I return to my friends they asked why I changed shorts and I just told them I started my period. However on the way home my friend tells me to pull over. She had the same problem, minus the accident in the shorts. Needless to say we must of gotten food poisoning or something.

@rkstro2 I'm happy to hear FF changed your cross hairs. Hopefully your chart makes more sense now!
@leksil I would recommend putting the thermometer right next to your bed and temping right away when the alarm goes off. I know it seems stressful, but you will get used to it.
@nwegman7878 it's wayyyy too early to tell if you are out this cycle! FX for you!
@canavara sorry about the temp drop but that's great that you know your LP is at least 12 days now!
@ladystinson way to get out of your speeding ticket!! Nice job!
@Heatho620 you're not out yet! FX for a BFP!
@felix08 that's a tough one! I would personally wait, but if it would make you feel better, then go ahead and test!
@pretzel2plus1 my vote is for #1. However, what do you think about CD 36 based on the fertile CM?
@kirby1220 oh wow! You're story made me laugh!
@MelissaM090 good luck with you test again!! FX!
@PepperAT I hope you feel better soon!
@becbec28 buying your first home is super stressful! However, once you get pass the boring stuff, it's super fun to actually move in and make it your own!
@teamginger13 OMG that happened to us in the winter except at our house, when one is low, all of the smoke detectors go off. We spent all night trying to figure it out. Why do those things only happen in the middle of the night!?!
@AMGreely sorry about the BFN.
@linzrunz your story is too funny!
@BusinessWife Uhhhhh! I hate your DH getting in the way of our 'friendship!' I've missed seeing you around!
@KarliQ88 are you temping to confirm ovulation? (Sorry if you've mentioned this before and I've missed it).
@BecauseLove sorry about the BFN. It's still early, though!
@PennStateCait I've heard people say 2 weeks. 6 months seems like forever! I'm hoping that's not true!!
@TheJerilu OMG the drama at your wedding!! From an outsider, it sounds pretty funny. I'm sure you were not amused on your wedding day!
@Sugargirl1019 a line is a line! Also, digi's are more sensitive, so if you had a line on a test, it still may be too soon to turn a digi. Keep us updated!
@MamaMunn you are not a terrible bumpie! I don't have any whole 30 tips, but I have seen others talk about it before, so I'm hoping you get some tips!
@clover28 OMG your story!!
@MommyForTheFirstTime I love your phrase "residual irritation." I'm going to have to use that sometime!
@kiwielopingbride FX for you when you test soon!
@sheshoe sorry about the BFN. FX that you get your BFP this cycle!

@HurricaneAmelia - Sorry for BFN hope your squinter turns into something!
@rkstro2 – welcome back to TWW! I also fall ALL the time. Unfortunately DS has taken after me in that respect as well.
@leksiL – it took me some time to get used to temping as well; FX it becomes less stressful for you.
@nwegman7878 – Awesome timing! Fingers and toes crossed for you this cycle.
@canavara – I’m sorry you are having a hard ttc day. FX AF stays away
@ladystinson - Thank god for Walmart!!
@Heath0620 – Sorry for BFN
@felix08 – ahh that’s a hard one. Knowing me, I would probably want to wait until Saturday but I totally would test tomorrow anyway. I hope you have a fun trip.
@pretzel2plus1 – I am by no means an expert at CS but CD31 looks right for O day. I would say its entirely possible that the lap could have helped extend your LP.
@kirby1220 – Right there with you on the SS/lack of symptoms. FX for you!
@MelissaM090 – lol I too have googled leg cramping as an early pregnancy symptom…I would test if it would ease your mind! Let us know
@beary67 – I totally LOL’d at the jelly bean sleepwalking..i imagine that’s a bit scary though.
@PepperAT – I hope you feel better and that you aren’t coming down with anything!
@becbec28 – Good luck with your closing! Congratulations on your new home.
@teamginger13 – the beeping would drive be BSC. I would climbed ontop of SO’s shoulders to get that fixed haha
@AMGreely – Sorry for BFN! FX for a different result Thursday.
@linzrunz – I would love to get purple or pink highlights. My job wouldn’t approve unfortunately. Enjoy your hair appt!
@BusinessWife – You have to do what you have to do! We are here for you when you come back. I have been in and out myself. It’s a crazy time of year for work so its hard to follow up with everyone. We can only do our best
@KarliQ88 – We are testing day buddies! We can totally hold out! Only 3 more days The TWW (especially the latter part) can be very frustrating. Just know that you aren’t alone! FX for you.
@BecauseLove – Sorry for the BFN. Family vacation sounds fun! Its always nice to have something to look forward to! Enjoy.
@PennStateCait – I would follow what your doctor says. If DH is exhibiting symptoms then maybe prolong a little more than 2 weeks after hes been checked out?
@TheJerilu – Testing day buddies! And Oh hell no. I would have handed him the bus or train schedule and put him on his merry way!
@Sugargirl1090 – **TW, prev BFP mentioned** When I was pregnant with DS, I got a positive on a line test at 12dpo but didn’t turn a digi until 15dpo…so I’ll keep my FX for you!
@MamaMunn – I don’t have any Whole30 tips other than good luck!! The people I know who have done it have felt amazing afterwards. I would like to give it a try too one day.
@clover28 – Boo to the IL’s! but there is still hope!
@Mommyforthefirsttime - I get super irritable during O as well. I don’t even get that way with PMS but I notice that on the day I Ovulate, I can’t stand people and my patience runs thin which is odd for me because my patience level is pretty high normally.
@kiwielopingbride – I hear if a bird poops on your head, that’s good luck! But still…I wouldn’t want that to happen to me.
@sheshae – Sorry for BFN. FX for tomo

GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?
I pretty much embarrass myself daily so I'll just pick an old one - I was about 14 or 15 and was grocery shopping with my mom - we were at the lunch meat counter and the lady behind the counter cut herself on the slicer..now I didn't see anything - I just heard she cut herself and I found myself waking up on the floor ...I passed out on ShopRite underneath one of the cheese cases. I was mortified.

Yay!!!!! After much deliberation with some ladies from Dec 2016 after looking at pee sticks (okay some not deliberating at all), I went and got a FRER and there is totally a second pink line!! It's so beautiful I want to cry.
Thank you so much for teaching me and for your support! The fact that some of you PM behind the scenes to discuss pee sticks (even OPKs) is just awesome and I'm grateful for all of you. It's so nice to have someone else be excited like me! I've already shown DH, and he's excited but not squealing jumping up and down like me. I pray that you all get to experience your excitement soon!
When it doubt, get a FRER!

Previously nweg...7878
Month/cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 18/8
Timing: -4, -2, 0
Testing: Saturday at 12dpo
R/R/CS: Aside from some cramping at 6dpo, I have had zero symptoms. I keep looking at the percentages of bfp at (X)dpo.. Trying to justify that I can take a test sooner.
GTKY: My fainting spells were worse when my period started. In high school, I was feeling dizzy in class. I knew I was going to pass out, but I was too embarrassed to say I wasn't feeling well (BC of AF).
The bell rings, I go into the Hall where there is a rush of kids. I don't remember passing out, but I woke up with people stepping over me. Rumors spread for a few days that I was on drugs (I was not).. But that passed quickly luckily.
CD/DPO: 21/5
Timing: -1
Testing: Whenever I feel like I should have gotten AF by now...lol
R/R/CS: Nothing today really....boring day. Temps still up..so that's good. Just curious as to when AF will show because I O'ed like a week after I thought I would. Goodbye what I thought were regular 22 day cycles!
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?
Once I was sitting in church, and all the sudden I felt like I was going to puke. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've puked in my lifetime so this was strange. I had to inch past people in the pew and pretty much RAN to the bathroom right by the pastor who was speaking. Needless to say, I didn't make it and puked all over the floor (an old church...carpet *shudder*) right out side the door to the sanctuary where EVERYONE could hear. Some people came out to help me and help clean up and they were gagging as they were trying to clean it up. Then everyone was all like "ooooh are you pregnant!??!?"....I still have no idea why it happened.
@HurricaneAmelia Sorry for the BFN...FX that it's actually a BFP!
@rkstro2 At least people stopped! That's nice. I fell ONTO a bus once as I was getting on and everyone just stared at me!
@leksiL I find I jolt awake and take my temp now like it's a reflex...and sometimes it'll be like 2AM lol....it's definitely annoying!
@nwegman7878 Fx for a BFP even if you feel out this cycle. I can't believe you have to pay...it breaks my heart honestly. I think it's covered here to a certain degree...or so many treatments or something. Hopefully you don't have to go that route!
@canavara Sorry for the dip, at least you have a positive outlook! I can't believe that happened to you, that sounds horrible!!! Funny story...I just watched that special on youtube a few weeks ago and it was SO SAD. It made me cry.
@ladystinson that totally sounds like you're KU....Fx for a BFP!!!! Also, I'm so sorry that happened to you but I laughed really hard....
@Heatho620 Sorry for the BFN
@felix08 Sure, why not. Can't hurt right?
@pretzel2plus1 Hmm...I'm leaning towards CD35...but I really don't know.
@kirby1220 I can feel my face getting red for you! >_<
@MelissaM090 Fx that you get some sort of answer...hopefully a BFP!! And I laughed pretty hard...that's a pretty witty comment
@beary67 I'm known to fridge/cupboard stalk at 3AM too lol...maybe that's why I'm not losing weight so fast :Lol:
@PepperAT Hopefully you feel better soon! And I had a visual of "cool chair jump"...it was pretty funny
@becbec28 We bought a house in September! So I definitely sympathize with the moving craziness!
@AMGreely Sorry for the BFN. I'm also going BSC playing the waiting game.
@linzrunz Sorry for the BFN. I'm currently at school and sitting in the library in some sketchy back corner computer so no one can walk by and see that I'm bumping lol. I hate that the tab at the top says "trying to get pregnant"...I've had some weird looks from coworkers when bumping at work.
@BusinessWife Sorry that DH said that, mine is the same. He said I'm "trying too hard" *sigh*
@KarliQ88 I'm in the same boat (month 2)...it's really frustrating and I'm really impatient. That's why I think the ladies who have been waiting for months and years are probably the strongest people ever!
Ok folks...I've got to run....I will try to come back later for the rest!!! xo

@Sugargirl1019 Congrats! H&H 9 mos!
@ladystinson Yeah, I was really trying not to give into the fear mongering but a few other countries aside from Brazil have developed the microcephaly and other birth defects from Zika so I started to get worried. I just don't want to be selfish and keep trying when it's not safe. That's not to say it's not safe... my doctor said 2 weeks... I just feel like there's such a lack of information available right now. I'm also hoping it's like West Nile. Definitely hoping the major panic part is over soon.
@leksiL if he doesn't get any mosquito bites I'll feel so much better! My fingers are crossed that that is the case. There are lots of different mosquito sprays and wipes on Amazon if you want to check them out for your cruise! They keep selling out/being restocked so check them out early if you can!
@kiwielopingbride I wish they could test for it. DH won't know if he'll get it, I think only 20% of people who get it exhibit symptoms? There is no reliable and readily available test. Even if my doctor wanted to test him, there isn't the means yet. That's why some doctors and countries are just recommending protected sex for a certain period of time. Once the whole Zika thing started circulating in the news is when I cancelled my ticket for the cruise but it's for my MIL's 50th birthday so we both decided DH should still go. At that point we didn't know it was an STD. Ugh.
@beary67 It's so nice to hear you've also heard 2 weeks. I had never heard 6 months until last night. I'm reverting my plan to 2 weeks. Thank you!
@Marley629 Yeah, I think that's what I'll do! Thanks for the calming words during a moment of panic. I sent DH off with lots of DEET in the form of spray, wipes, etc.

IVF Cycle #1 Dec. 2016 - 11R·11M·5F - Transferred 2 - BFP - Miscarriage - 0 Embryos Left

CD/DPO: 29/10
Timing: -2, 0
Testing: I usually don't, but I'm going to SF this weekend to see some friends and they want to do drinks and such, so I guess Friday. I really hate testing and am not feeling optimistic at all.
R/R/CS: I took Unisom to sleep last night and am SO groggy.
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? OMG... It was so bad. I had just turned 21 and had too much to drink, threw up in a cab, and had to call my mom because I didn't have my credit card on me and the guy was obviously charging me for a cleaning. She went and told her entire office, and also keeps reminding me 9 years later. Awesome. Please still be my friends, you guys.
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,

Testing: BFN this morning
R/R/CS: This is our first month TTC #1. I'm trying to force myself not to take tests because it's probably too soon, but I can't help it… I'm happy to have found this community! Have been lurking for a while, but I've realized that it would be nice to share these experiences with people also going through it.
GTKY: What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? I was peacefully enjoying a yoga class when the teacher led us through some sun salutations. As I was stretching into downward dog, my old flimsy leggins ripped at my butt and I showed the incredibly flexible and strong older woman behind me my bright red panties. Thankfully she just smiled and maintained focus on her practice… I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, I just quietly walked out of the class.
