For those of us having a not so great TTC day I found this: I found it helpful because I often spend too much time thinking about the next step in life. I've always had a plan for my life and an image about how life was supposed to be. Just have to remember to be mindful of the present because life is awesome and I have so much to be thankful for!
Testing: I tested a couple of days ago and it was a BFN, and then FF moved my CH 3 days forward... so now I will test tomorrow morning, 12 DPO!
R/R/CS: Spoke with my OB this morning about my fears of endometriosis and family history of trouble TTC. She was very optimistic. She said since I'll be entering my 6 month, let's go ahead and do some simple blood work and go from there. I feel a lot better and ready to tackle month 6.
Also, yesterday mor if I swear I had morning sickness, which is nonsense because it was 10 DPO. I ate a very light breakfast and was immediately so nauseated I almost lost my breakfast. I hope I'm not getting a bug.
GTKY: We saw Batman vs Superman this past weekend. It was alright! I know a lot of people didn't enjoy it, but DH and I are easily pleased and we had fun!
I'll come back and hit some people up with replies!
R/R/CS: I struggle at this point in the tww; I'm trying to remain hopeful even though I don't feel any different than my other cycles, and my pessimism is trying to tell me this cycle is going to be just like all the rest. But I'm also trying to not get my hopes up or be to expectant, so that I'm not let down when I get a bfn. it's a struggle.
I'm really hoping that the supplements DH has been on for almost 3 months have started to work, and the EPO I took this cycle makes a difference. Maybe acupuncture next? Except we seem to be MFI, so I would have to convince DH to do acupuncture, which would be like asking a cat to go waterskiing.
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review! We saw The Martian most recently, which was actually pretty good! If you like Matt Damon, there is plenty of him to go around, and the plot is very engaging for a scifi movie. It has some very funny moments and is very suspenseful as well. It got 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, and I'm not sure why more people aren't talking about this movie.

GTKY: <span class="vanilla-mention-@">@FrancesGrace630 </span>I am not a big movie-theatre goer either, mostly cos I think the new movies out are basically garbage propaganda, and because my back starts to kill me and my tail-bone falls asleep after sitting in the seat for so long. The last movie I saw in the theatre was with DH and MiL, "San Andreas." Not only can I not stand the Rock, but the whole thing was just so hokey I couldn't handle it. Last movie I think DH and I watched at home was, "Serpico." Totally awesome why Pacino-is-Pacino greatness. I prefer my hokieness in the flavour of, "honest guy stands up against institutional corruption," over the, "rah rah government authorities save us all from another disaster," brand.
@nwegman7878 - I haven't made it to WTF Wed yet, but I'm sorry your day sucks!!
@jmr1515 - I'm glad you're excited for the appointment! I hope you like your new doc.
@pretzel2plus1 - Ugh I had a BFP dream last cycle and I was so lost when I woke up. Sorry for BFNs.
@PennStateCait - I'm sorry you're feeling down. All of your lifestyle changes are so healthy for you, though, so it's wonderful that you're doing them!
@beary67 - That's confusing! One of those time will tell situations.
Testing: BFNs the last 2 days. Trying not to again until AF is due. PS - anyone ever have the dreaded single line take forever to show up?! So weird it took forever to show up - darn thing gettin my expectations all out of whack.
R/R/CS: Well was having some cramping and immense back pain the last few days (which I never have). Assumed AF was about to come and that I was out, but still no sign of her yet. I usually only ever get cramps 1-2 before AF so that is out of the ordinary. I don't temp yet for my own reasons so perhaps I was off a day or two on O day. Not trying to get too excited but still got some hope.
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review! Ummm.... I legit have not watched a move in ages haha. I get wrapped up in reading.
@nwegman7878 I hope your day gets better! @ jmr1515 I hope all goes well with your new gyne tomorrow! @pretzel2plus1 sorry for your BFNs. Deadpool is on my list to see soon! @pennstatecait sorry for your BFN. Right there with you on the woe is me today @leksil yay for high temps! @beary67 I have been getting weird cramping as well but AF shouldn't be here yet. FX'd for the both of us! ha @kirby1220 i hope you have a great time in NYC soon! @dumbledoresarmy YAAYYY for the bfp! H&H 9 months to you! @hurricaneamelia ahhh fingers crossed for you that the squinter darkens!
Testing: yeah...nothing happy making yet. We did get a somewhat amusing false positive or evaporation line yesterday...the Test line was diagonal across the test at the wrong angle...all wonky and in the wrong spot..at least that helped bring a smile to the testing process.
R/R/CS: I just really want/need this cycle to be the one. Mostly because I have put so much hope into it...after a year and half of no success it is hard to have so much hope. Hope feels dangerous.
I don't feel any symptoms today...just normal. Whatever that means.
I have had the luxury of waking up the last 3 mornings with my husband (he usually has to go to work 2 hours before I have to get up). It has been so wonderful! He also does an awesome job of trying to keep me calm during this tww and endless bfns.
For those that aren't doing temping I have liked OvuView as an app on my phone to track symptoms or dates of dr appointments and such...it also does some predicting of ovulation (though you can override it if you don't have normal cycles) and AF. I know it has been helpful just to keep all the little details organized as we have been trying..and it is handy to look back upon.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review! Miss You Already. It was so sad and also funny. I was teary snotty mess while watching. It shows the importance of friendship and the struggles of life/death. It includes one of the main characters having fertility struggles...which I thought was nice to see in a movie. I would recommend it if your ready for a good cry and some laughs too!

Thanks for all the movie ideas! Very excited to see Room.
Month/cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 19/9
Timing: Good
Testing: I didn't POAS today!! My original plan was Saturday, but I think maybe tomorrow..
R/R/CS: I spent all night looking googling BFP pee sticks from 8-10 dpo.. Why? Because I'm BSC.
I don't have any symptoms of AF yet, so that's a positive.
GTKY(stolen from WTO): Last weekend I rented the Martian and Inside Out. The Martian was really good if you like space/scifi movies (and some shirtless Matt Damon). Inside Out was beyond cute and I loved every minute of it.
@nwegman7878 Sorry you are having a rough morning! @jmr1515 Good luck at your Drs. appt tomorrow. FX everything goes well. @PennStateCait *creepy Internet hugs to you* It's so hard when we do everything in our power and it still doesn't work out. Treat yourself today. @DumbledoresArmy Congrats!!! H&H 9 Months. Your post cheered me up this morning! @msirni0 Sorry you are having an emotional time. Hopefully things start looking up as the days go by. @mrsdee15 We want to see zootopia, glad you liked it! It looks so cute. @khbear That is good news that your OB is on board! Hopefully they can get the ball rolling.
Month/Cycle: 8/8
CD/DPO: 25/10
Timing: -3 -1 0
Testing: I debated this morning, but I think I'm going to wait. I thought I saw some spotting last night.
R/R/CS: I called in sick to work this morning, still not feeling great. It helps that DH has the day off too, so we can relax and take it easy together. My temp went up again this morning, I got excited and looked at last month and it did the same thing on DPO 10, not excited anymore lol.
FX for everyone testing and hugs to everyone feeling down!
GTKY: The Divergent Series: Allegiant was the last movie I saw. I didn't really like it at all. It felt too over done and like they were trying too hard.
@BusinessWife Love me some chart overlay! I didn't renew my VIP subscription so I don't get it anymore, but your post reminded me how much I enjoyed looking at that every month.
@ReesaAnne16 Sorry you are feeling down. FX for tomorrow! I also really enjoyed The Martian. Watching Matt Damon the whole time made it that much better.
@FrancesGrace630 Hopefully you won't need to use all those tests! FX this is your month!
Testing: I'm trying to hold out until AF is actually (hopefully!) late, but I'm already starting to feel the urge to test and it's only 7 DPO. MUST STAY STRONG.
R/R/CS: I've barely tested at all through TTGP. Since we've mostly just been NTNP, I haven't been thinking too much about it. But now DH is more on board with actually TTC, so now I'm really excited but also more anxious! I don't want to get all stressed and get my hopes up just to get a BFN. I think I'd rather just wait to see if my temp drops, so hopefully I can hold out for another week. We will see!
GTKY: The last movie I saw was Secret in Their Eyes. It was so good! It was an emotional roller coaster and definitely kept me guessing the entire time. I would absolutely recommend it.
slradske0626 You have a great prospective on things. FX to you! PepperAT Sorry your not feeling well. I hope getting some rest helps! Have fun spending some time with your DH. TwentySixth Room really is super good. Emotional roller coaster but good! The Martian was sooo good! I think a ton of us are BSC about TTC stuff. BusinessWife I loved your thoughts on movie watching and personal movie preferences. ReesaAnne16 My husband would also totally not being into acupuncture. They do have ear pressure points though that they can do that is like a tiny tiny tiny bead...so it doesn't have to be needles necessarily...if that is one of the reasons he wouldn't do it. And you might want to just check it out for fun relaxation...I think its a lot like going to get a massage. khbear Are you on any medication? I know one of my medications made me puke one of my cycles...totally had me hopeful. I hope your testing the next few days goes well! Fx! jmr1515 I personally love the saying that sometimes the worst things in our lives help lead us to the best things in our lives. I have found this to be true at times in my own life. FrancesGrace630 FX on your early days of the TWW.
mrsdee15 It can be so hard to be hopeful...sometimes easier to be hurumf about it and surprised if something good happens. TheJerilu I have been breaking out like crazy while ttc. Not much has helped but when I have had some awful spots going to acupuncture has seemed to help. msirni0 Nice to see you over at the TWW. I didn't realize you were so far into TTC...so long at it can be so darn frustrating! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! We are both going to be on pins and needles for the next few days I think. Ps. I keep trying to talk my husband into seeing the Big Short...so far he keeps passing.

Testing: At 8dpo I had a faint line on a Wondfo and a squinter on a FRER. Tested again at 9dpo and more faint lines on Wondfos. If I hadn't had a chemical pregnancy last cycle I would have been jumping for joy but I wasn't convinced just yet. Used a FRER again last night and got a definite BFP and told DH right away. Tested yet again this morning at 10dpo and got a negative on the FRER digi gold test with FMU but got a positive on a CB digi mid-morning. I'm praying this one sticks. Going to take it one day at a time.
R/R/CS: My symptoms were completely different this cycle than last month's CP. I actually had a lot more symptoms last cycle (headaches, fatigue, nausea) but perhaps that was because of the quick rise and fall of hormones? The only symptoms I've had so far are sore BBs, but only on the sides under my arms, and SUPER vivid dreams. Right before I woke up on 8dpo, I was dreaming that I got a BFP. Coincidence i'm sure but still crazy.
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review! I watched the Peanuts movie last Friday with DH and the LOs. It had great reviews but I wasn't all that impressed. I give it a B+ because it was lacking humor.
Hi @becauselove!! Yeah, I lurk over here but decided to post a little more. It's been a long road for us! Some delays due to waiting for insurance coverage. Hopefully you and I will both get some good news in a few days! I thought The Big Short was really good, but some things went over my husbands head. Some of the more complex aspects are explained in a pretty funny/clever way though. Ryan Gosling's character reminded me of his character in Crazy Stupid Love a little bit. It was definitely a thought provoking movie! (Oh and I LOVE Steve Carrell and this was a different role for him but I thought he did a great job)

Testing: Tired of seeing the BFN's so not again until Friday and only if AF doesn't show.
R/R/CS: I have cramps today which is normal with AF, so I'm a big bag of debbie downer today. I also randomly have like 3 canker sores in my mouth which is super random for me and they hurt like hell. On a positive note, all of these baby animal GIF's are making me smile Random thought - every time I POAS stick I think about how we spend so many years hoping to not have to pee on a stick and if we do, hoping like hell a second line doesn't show up - it still feels odd to me to be sitting there PRAYING for a second line to show up. Maybe it's just me, ha!
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review! We watched The Big Short over the weekend and if you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. It's the story of the housing market crash and it's freaking crazy. I wanted to throw up after watching it because of how corrupt people can be! The movie was really well done.
HockeyWife4Life Congrats and FX! msirni0 I do a lot of lurking all over the place too! I might just end up watching the big short on my own. It just looks interesting. That is awesome that you got some health insurance coverage for some of the TTC. My health care isn't all that awesome until/if I get a ku'd. Fingers crossed for us DPO in sync ladies! DumbledoresArmy Congrats!! Wishing you a h&h 9! nwegman7878 Sorry about the rough day! Deadpool was awesome!! jmr1515 I hope your dr appointment tomorrow goes well! pretzel2plus1 FX that good news comes your way! PennStateCait I feel ya! I also feel like this is suppose to be my month...it can be so frustrating when you want something so much. I find hope to be such a complicated thing. FX Marley629 Mmmark Wallberg. leksiL I once went to a movie where a lady handed me her baby (I had never met her before or even talked to her) while she settled her other kids in at the theater. It was hysterical! beary67 Oh I didn't like SLP...but was hoping I would like Joy.. ladystinson I heard the rainbow bagel store got so popular that they had to close for renovations so they could open again to serve the traffic of people. kirby1220 Your trip sounds wonderful! Anything you are hoping to do or see while in NYC? tamalahoops It sucks to have been trying for so long and to have another cycle pass by. I hope that maybe some FX is just being sneaky and that good news is still coming for you. HurricaneAmelia Oh I am anxious for you! Hopefully one of those squinters turns into a full dark line in the next few days. MamaMunn Ohh Sisters and Deadpool were also pretty great! And even though I didn't think I would love it I think I liked Deadpool even more than Sisters. clover28 Ohh Indian food! Yum! Sorry about the constipation though! rkstro2 I hear ya about it is nice to see BFP's especially for those that have TTC for a good while.

@Marley629 cycle buddy! I had a temp drop today, too! I'm trying not to think about it too much, but it's not working. FX for both of us that our temps go up tomorrow!

Testing: BFN this morning on a cheapie. AF due Sunday/Monday so I’ll probably
test one of those with a regular one if AF doesn’t show.
R/R/CS: I’m so happy about all the cute baby animals. Those darn bunnies were
just a tad creepy. My coworker walked by my computer when I was reading a post
from @mrsdee15's (bunny on toilet) and they were like “WTF are you looking at”
lol
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review!
Hmm. This is a hard one because I rarely watch movies and
just binge watch seasons on Netflix. The last movie I saw in theaters was Dead
pool and it was great! I like the crude humor.
The last movie I watched was
called Radio Flyer. I couldn’t sleep one night and it was on. It was different.
It has Elijah Wood in it when he was a young boy.

Just an update for those of you needing some entertainment.....I have checked my CP like 8 times today. Because, you know, the pregnancy tests are all false negatives. The truth is in the cervix.....
Me: 34 DH: 36 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
Timing: well im really in that window of knowing very soon. My cycles are very predictable. I do have 24day cycles which would be today. Ive had some 25 and 26day though. No AF today but i do feel crampy. So even though no AF there is a little hope but ive accepted to move on to month2. Besides April showers will bring May flowers :-) (cheesy!)
testing:i probably could take a test but i will friday or saturday if AF is a no show. I do feel like it will which is why im able to hold out. If i had zero PMS symptoms id be testing today. Ugh.
R/R/CS: i know its only cycle 1 but i cant help but wonder if something is wrong. My sister had issues we are not biologically related but watching her struggle was awful. She does have 3 kids but it took years for all of them.
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review! Wolf of Wallstreet with leonardo dicaprio. It is very good...lots of nudity and sex so careful who you watch it with.
Jumping right back in the TTGP pool. Feels good to be back!
**Siggy warning**
Month/cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 20/8
Timing: -4 (is that even a thing?), -2, -1, O, +1
Testing: Tested yesterday bc I'm a crazy person and forgot what the TWW feels like BFN, tested this morning with FMU BFN. My bfp with DS was at 9dpo, so I keep using that as a timeline, but I know every pregnancy is different.
R/R/CS: temp rise today which I feel is a good sign, but I'm going to keep testing until AF gets here.
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review! I know I am WAY behind, but I finally got around to watching Mockingjay recently. I was not very impressed. I really enjoyed the books, and the first 3 movies, but this one was just kind of "eh".
Re: TWW Wednesday
For those of us having a not so great TTC day I found this:
I found it helpful because I often spend too much time thinking about the next step in life. I've always had a plan for my life and an image about how life was supposed to be. Just have to remember to be mindful of the present because life is awesome and I have so much to be thankful for!
Surgery Dec 2016: submucosal fibroid removed
Awaiting RE appointment
Congrats @DumbledoresArmy! H & H 9 to you! What a great story!
Month/cycle: 10/11
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: -2, -1
Testing: tomorrrow!!!
R/R/CS: I struggle at this point in the tww; I'm trying to remain hopeful even though I don't feel any different than my other cycles, and my pessimism is trying to tell me this cycle is going to be just like all the rest. But I'm also trying to not get my hopes up or be to expectant, so that I'm not let down when I get a bfn. it's a struggle.
I'm really hoping that the supplements DH has been on for almost 3 months have started to work, and the EPO I took this cycle makes a difference. Maybe acupuncture next? Except we seem to be MFI, so I would have to convince DH to do acupuncture, which would be like asking a cat to go waterskiing.
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review!
We saw The Martian most recently, which was actually pretty good! If you like Matt Damon, there is plenty of him to go around, and the plot is very engaging for a scifi movie. It has some very funny moments and is very suspenseful as well. It got 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, and I'm not sure why more people aren't talking about this movie.

GTKY: <span class="vanilla-mention-@">@FrancesGrace630 </span>I am not a big movie-theatre goer either, mostly cos I think the new movies out are basically garbage propaganda, and because my back starts to kill me and my tail-bone falls asleep after sitting in the seat for so long. The last movie I saw in the theatre was with DH and MiL, "San Andreas." Not only can I not stand the Rock, but the whole thing was just so hokey I couldn't handle it. Last movie I think DH and I watched at home was, "Serpico." Totally awesome why Pacino-is-Pacino greatness. I prefer my hokieness in the flavour of, "honest guy stands up against institutional corruption," over the, "rah rah government authorities save us all from another disaster," brand.
CD/DPO: 30/10-11?
Timing: good
Testing: BFNs the last 2 days. Trying not to again until AF is due. PS - anyone ever have the dreaded single line take forever to show up?! So weird it took forever to show up - darn thing gettin my expectations all out of whack.
R/R/CS: Well was having some cramping and immense back pain the last few days (which I never have). Assumed AF was about to come and that I was out, but still no sign of her yet. I usually only ever get cramps 1-2 before AF so that is out of the ordinary. I don't temp yet for my own reasons so perhaps I was off a day or two on O day. Not trying to get too excited but still got some hope.
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review! Ummm.... I legit have not watched a move in ages haha. I get wrapped up in reading.

TTC January 2016
BFP May 17, 2016
DS born January 31st, 2017: Rory "Mac" MacKinnon
CD/DPO: 27/10
Timing: +2, iui, -1
Testing: yeah...nothing happy making yet. We did get a somewhat amusing false positive or evaporation line yesterday...the Test line was diagonal across the test at the wrong angle...all wonky and in the wrong spot..at least that helped bring a smile to the testing process.
R/R/CS:
I just really want/need this cycle to be the one. Mostly because I have put so much hope into it...after a year and half of no success it is hard to have so much hope. Hope feels dangerous.
I don't feel any symptoms today...just normal. Whatever that means.
I have had the luxury of waking up the last 3 mornings with my husband (he usually has to go to work 2 hours before I have to get up). It has been so wonderful! He also does an awesome job of trying to keep me calm during this tww and endless bfns.
For those that aren't doing temping I have liked OvuView as an app on my phone to track symptoms or dates of dr appointments and such...it also does some predicting of ovulation (though you can override it if you don't have normal cycles) and AF. I know it has been helpful just to keep all the little details organized as we have been trying..and it is handy to look back upon.
GTKY: What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review!
Miss You Already. It was so sad and also funny. I was teary snotty mess while watching. It shows the importance of friendship and the struggles of life/death. It includes one of the main characters having fertility struggles...which I thought was nice to see in a movie. I would recommend it if your ready for a good cry and some laughs too!

Thanks for all the movie ideas! Very excited to see Room.
Month/cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 19/9
Timing: Good
Testing: I didn't POAS today!! My original plan was Saturday, but I think maybe tomorrow..
R/R/CS: I spent all night looking googling BFP pee sticks from 8-10 dpo.. Why? Because I'm BSC.
I don't have any symptoms of AF yet, so that's a positive.
GTKY(stolen from WTO): Last weekend I rented the Martian and Inside Out. The Martian was really good if you like space/scifi movies (and some shirtless Matt Damon). Inside Out was beyond cute and I loved every minute of it.
@jmr1515 Good luck at your Drs. appt tomorrow. FX everything goes well.
@PennStateCait *creepy Internet hugs to you* It's so hard when we do everything in our power and it still doesn't work out. Treat yourself today.
@DumbledoresArmy Congrats!!! H&H 9 Months. Your post cheered me up this morning!
@msirni0 Sorry you are having an emotional time. Hopefully things start looking up as the days go by.
@mrsdee15 We want to see zootopia, glad you liked it! It looks so cute.
@khbear That is good news that your OB is on board! Hopefully they can get the ball rolling.
Month/Cycle: 8/8
CD/DPO: 25/10
Timing: -3 -1 0
Testing: I debated this morning, but I think I'm going to wait. I thought I saw some spotting last night.
R/R/CS: I called in sick to work this morning, still not feeling great. It helps that DH has the day off too, so we can relax and take it easy together. My temp went up again this morning, I got excited and looked at last month and it did the same thing on DPO 10, not excited anymore lol.
FX for everyone testing and hugs to everyone feeling down!
GTKY: The Divergent Series: Allegiant was the last movie I saw. I didn't really like it at all. It felt too over done and like they were trying too hard.

BFP 5/17/16 | EDD 1/27/17 | Born 2/4/17
CD/DPO: 24/7
Timing: -1, -4, -6
Testing: I'm trying to hold out until AF is actually (hopefully!) late, but I'm already starting to feel the urge to test and it's only 7 DPO. MUST STAY STRONG.
R/R/CS: I've barely tested at all through TTGP. Since we've mostly just been NTNP, I haven't been thinking too much about it. But now DH is more on board with actually TTC, so now I'm really excited but also more anxious! I don't want to get all stressed and get my hopes up just to get a BFN. I think I'd rather just wait to see if my temp drops, so hopefully I can hold out for another week. We will see!
GTKY: The last movie I saw was Secret in Their Eyes. It was so good! It was an emotional roller coaster and definitely kept me guessing the entire time. I would absolutely recommend it.
Good luck, ladies!
@DumbledoresArmy Yay!!!!! Glad it was confirmed. H&H 9 months!!

PepperAT Sorry your not feeling well. I hope getting some rest helps! Have fun spending some time with your DH.
TwentySixth Room really is super good. Emotional roller coaster but good! The Martian was sooo good!
BusinessWife I loved your thoughts on movie watching and personal movie preferences.
ReesaAnne16 My husband would also totally not being into acupuncture. They do have ear pressure points though that they can do that is like a tiny tiny tiny bead...so it doesn't have to be needles necessarily...if that is one of the reasons he wouldn't do it. And you might want to just check it out for fun relaxation...I think its a lot like going to get a massage.
khbear Are you on any medication? I know one of my medications made me puke one of my cycles...totally had me hopeful. I hope your testing the next few days goes well! Fx!
jmr1515 I personally love the saying that sometimes the worst things in our lives help lead us to the best things in our lives. I have found this to be true at times in my own life.
FrancesGrace630 FX on your early days of the TWW.
TheJerilu I have been breaking out like crazy while ttc. Not much has helped but when I have had some awful spots going to acupuncture has seemed to help.
msirni0 Nice to see you over at the TWW.

Testing: At 8dpo I had a faint line on a Wondfo and a squinter on a FRER. Tested again at 9dpo and more faint lines on Wondfos. If I hadn't had a chemical pregnancy last cycle I would have been jumping for joy but I wasn't convinced just yet. Used a FRER again last night and got a definite BFP and told DH right away. Tested yet again this morning at 10dpo and got a negative on the FRER digi gold test with FMU but got a positive on a CB digi mid-morning. I'm praying this one sticks. Going to take it one day at a time.
R/R/CS: My symptoms were completely different this cycle than last month's CP. I actually had a lot more symptoms last cycle (headaches, fatigue, nausea) but perhaps that was because of the quick rise and fall of hormones? The only symptoms I've had so far are sore BBs, but only on the sides under my arms, and SUPER vivid dreams. Right before I woke up on 8dpo, I was dreaming that I got a BFP. Coincidence i'm sure but still crazy.
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review! I watched the Peanuts movie last Friday with DH and the LOs. It had great reviews but I wasn't all that impressed. I give it a B+ because it was lacking humor.

Just on a side note - I too have less symptoms (twinges) of O since starting acupuncture - it seems to just make it a lot smoother.

TTC since 1/1/16 9/27/17 we have a heart beat!
CD/DPO: 24/12
Timing: -5, -3, -2, 0 (x2), +1
Testing: Tired of seeing the BFN's so not again until Friday and only if AF doesn't show.
R/R/CS: I have cramps today which is normal with AF, so I'm a big bag of debbie downer today. I also randomly have like 3 canker sores in my mouth which is super random for me and they hurt like hell. On a positive note, all of these baby animal GIF's are making me smile
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review!
We watched The Big Short over the weekend and if you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it. It's the story of the housing market crash and it's freaking crazy. I wanted to throw up after watching it because of how corrupt people can be! The movie was really well done.
msirni0 I do a lot of lurking all over the place too!
DumbledoresArmy Congrats!! Wishing you a h&h 9!
nwegman7878 Sorry about the rough day!
jmr1515 I hope your dr appointment tomorrow goes well!
pretzel2plus1 FX that good news comes your way!
PennStateCait I feel ya! I also feel like this is suppose to be my month...it can be so frustrating when you want something so much. I find hope to be such a complicated thing. FX
Marley629 Mmmark Wallberg.
leksiL I once went to a movie where a lady handed me her baby (I had never met her before or even talked to her) while she settled her other kids in at the theater. It was hysterical!
beary67 Oh I didn't like SLP...but was hoping I would like Joy..
ladystinson I heard the rainbow bagel store got so popular that they had to close for renovations so they could open again to serve the traffic of people.
kirby1220 Your trip sounds wonderful! Anything you are hoping to do or see while in NYC?
tamalahoops It sucks to have been trying for so long and to have another cycle pass by. I hope that maybe some FX is just being sneaky and that good news is still coming for you.
HurricaneAmelia Oh I am anxious for you! Hopefully one of those squinters turns into a full dark line in the next few days.
MamaMunn Ohh Sisters and Deadpool were also pretty great! And even though I didn't think I would love it I think I liked Deadpool even more than Sisters.
clover28 Ohh Indian food! Yum! Sorry about the constipation though!
rkstro2 I hear ya about it is nice to see BFP's especially for those that have TTC for a good while.

@nwegman7878 I hope your day gets better! For what it's worth, I appreciate you sticking up for all of us with those crazy troll posts!
@jmr1515 I hope your appointment goes well and they start some testing!
@pretzel2plus1 I'm glad you got your chart sorted out! FX the BFP dream is a good sign!
@PennStateCait *hugs*
@Marley629 cycle buddy! I had a temp drop today, too! I'm trying not to think about it too much, but it's not working. FX for both of us that our temps go up tomorrow!
@FrancesGrace360, @khbear, @Heatho620 thanks for taking a look!
@MrsDho11 I love how you still lurk and look after us!

Month/cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: great
Testing: BFN this morning on a cheapie. AF due Sunday/Monday so I’ll probably test one of those with a regular one if AF doesn’t show.
R/R/CS: I’m so happy about all the cute baby animals. Those darn bunnies were just a tad creepy. My coworker walked by my computer when I was reading a post from @mrsdee15's (bunny on toilet) and they were like “WTF are you looking at” lol
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review!
Hmm. This is a hard one because I rarely watch movies and just binge watch seasons on Netflix. The last movie I saw in theaters was Dead pool and it was great! I like the crude humor.
The last movie I watched was called Radio Flyer. I couldn’t sleep one night and it was on. It was different. It has Elijah Wood in it when he was a young boy.

CD/DPO:24/10
Timing: well im really in that window of knowing very soon. My cycles are very predictable. I do have 24day cycles which would be today. Ive had some 25 and 26day though. No AF today but i do feel crampy. So even though no AF there is a little hope but ive accepted to move on to month2. Besides April showers will bring May flowers :-) (cheesy!)
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review! Wolf of Wallstreet with leonardo dicaprio. It is very good...lots of nudity and sex so careful who you watch it with.
Sorry post and ghost! Busy day
Jumping right back in the TTGP pool. Feels good to be back!
**Siggy warning**
Month/cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 20/8
Timing: -4 (is that even a thing?), -2, -1, O, +1
Testing: Tested yesterday bc I'm a crazy person and forgot what the TWW feels like BFN, tested this morning with FMU BFN. My bfp with DS was at 9dpo, so I keep using that as a timeline, but I know every pregnancy is different.
R/R/CS: temp rise today which I feel is a good sign, but I'm going to keep testing until AF gets here.
GTKY(stolen from WTO): What is the last movie you saw? Give us a review! I know I am WAY behind, but I finally got around to watching Mockingjay recently. I was not very impressed. I really enjoyed the books, and the first 3 movies, but this one was just kind of "eh".
Congrats @DumbledoresArmy and @HockeyWife4Life!
