Month/Cycle: 7

Cd/DPO: 30/12 or 10

Timing: twice in fw

Testing: five bfns, af a no show (l.p. has been11 days, but last month it was 13 so I am not really counting myself late yet)

R/R/CS: not much. I have to party hooky from work tomorrow so I need to act sick all day today to make it convincing. This will be very easy since I am so dead tired, lol.

GTKY: my dress was a classic Aline with some flowers at the right hip and a sweetheart neckline. Satin. Actually I kind of regretted it. I got the Drs I thought my h would like, simple and elegant, when I would Have preferred way more sparkle, lace, and poor. My ideal dress would be totally covered in fancy lace, a ball gown with tiny waist, and millions of sparkles in the lace. I even true one on just like it, only 500 more than I ended up spending. Smh.

Month/Cycle: 10

Cd/DPO: 15/1 

Timing: -4, -1

Testing: Testing out my trigger so basically every day forever.

R/R/CS: Well, I already ranted about my husband in the MBF, so I will keep this positive. We listed our house last week and today was listed as the first day for showings, and we have two scheduled for today already. So I hope that is a good sign and we'll have a quick sale.

We got married at the courthouse, so I wore a simple white sheath dress:

Month/Cycle:4/3

Cd/DPO: 26/11

Timing: apparently not good enough

Testing: BFN everyday

R/R/CS: So yesterday after my horrible grey line issue, I went and bought a FRER out of desperation. Negative. Soooo...not doing that again. Used a Wondfo again this morning and negative again...I figure I am out...

I will be honest, I am a super negative nancy yesterday and today. I normally love BFPs and I couldn't even be happy for people. Not a good sign for my attitude....will try and work on that for the next cycle. Also, monday=sucks

ETA: I have been training myself to wake up at same time, downloaded a silent alarm, so my phone vibrates instead of rings at 4:30AM...finally my chart looks pretty and has all solid dots the last days! I am excited to see what next months chart looks like now that I am doing this.

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married.

Mine was princess style, big and poofy, strapless, with a sweetheart neckline...

Month/Cycle: 6/5

Cd/DPO: 23/7

Timing: -4,-3,-2,-1,0,+1

Testing: Still holding out for 12dpo...Saturday!

R/R/CS: Temp shot up today, and yesterday I had awful uterine pains so of course im thinking implantation pains at 6dpo right lol...yesterday we had this family event and of course everyone keeps asking if im pregnant. Unfortunately they all figured out we were trying after the last family even 2 month ago. I just hate all the pressure and attention I feel when they are constantly asking. 

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married.

I am not a girly girl that is all into getting dressed up. but i did make an exception for my wedding day. i LOVE my wedding dress. It was a halter top, with a Green accent ribbon (wedding colors were green and purple) and the bottom was ruffled, no train. It wasnt super expensive, I actually was trying on dresses and saw another girl in it and i told my sister thats the dress! I have to try that one on! Tried it on and that was it, I just knew it.

Month/Cycle: 12/12

CD/DPO: 27/13

Timing: -2, -1

Testing: bfn yesterday morning. I'm out of wondfos!  

R/R/CS: I wasn't going to test until this morning, but Saturday night I had pains nearabouts my right ovary (the one I thought I o'd from) and the bsc instantly set in so I couldn't resist testing yesterday.  I thought I had two wondfos left but only had one .  We have the appointment with the RE this afternoon so that's what's keeping the sadness at bay.  Also we leave for Paris Saturday!  

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married.

Mine was a Maggie Sottero strapless A-line covered in scalloped lace.  The lace overlay ended around my shins but curved down to the floor around the back and covered the train completely.  It also had this interesting-looking sash with a jeweled brooch at the waist.  I loved it and DH absolutely loved my look (my hair was gathered on top of my head in this very old-fashioned style... like, Edwardian - I don't think anyone's worn hair like that to their wedding since 1905!).  Here's the bodice:


Since then I've restyled our wedding in my head so many times!  But now that I'm getting older and we're almost 10 years(!) married, I'm happy that it looks very classic and elegant.

Morning, everyone!

Month/Cycle: 4

Cd/DPO:  23/6

Timing:  --1, +1

Testing:  still too early. No plans yet.

R/R/CS:  I have gone from feeling 100% out this cycle to-- for whatever reason-- insanely optimistic. That totally annoys me because I know AF is going to be a huge letdown. Ugh. Our visit coordinator did bring us homemade cinnamon rolls though this morning--winning.

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married.

Ehhhh. I have lost 100+ lbs since getting married, so I hate my wedding pictures, although I did feel pretty in it at the time I guess, and I did enjoy my wedding. If I were to re-do (which I'd love to do, as I know I'd feel amazing now), I'd pick something very classy and with lots 'o lace. I did have a beautiful old-school style feather fascinator that I wore in my hair with a net that covered part of my face--that was the bomb, and we use it as our Christmas tree topper each year (minus the netting) !! Gorgeous.

MonaLisaRalphio

@Zoey1019 girl, I was right there with you yesterday.

Month/Cycle: 6/4

Cd/DPO: 33/12

Timing: "Next time, we'll just have to do it twice a day!" -DH, who is cute.

Testing: BFN on a Wondfo and something that I wish was a super-squinter on a FRER, but is probably an indent.  At this point I could see lines anywhere I look.  Like.  In the sky.  At night.  With my eyes closed.

R/R/CS: I was an absolute basket case last night.  AF should show some time today.  I'm eating Girl Scout cookies (made from real girl scouts).

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married.

I wore a Tadashi Shoji gown from BHLDN and I loved it so much.

Zoey1019

@MonaLisaRalphio Don't they suck!! I keep reminding myself that I can't squint myself pregnant... This morning when I tested again, I threw it away immediately..  @britters314 brought me back to reality yesterday  

Enjoy your girl scout cookies! I want some!

kellybean1988

Ahhhhhhhhhh @MonaLisaRalphio  !!! You look so gorgeous! That is EXACTLY the style of dress I would pick now if I could re-do. love. 

Also, I didn't get a chance to comment yesterday--I loooove Parks and Rec and those two characters. I am from a small town in Indiana so any time I meet anyone outside of the state who watches that show, he/she always asks me if my town is just like Pawnee. Um, not even close, but I do loooove the show. Lil' Sebastian foreva!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

Cd/DPO: 14/2

Timing: +1

Testing: not sure if I even will before my potential missed period this time.

R/R/CS:  I'm exhausted.  We were out of town Friday and Saturday for a wedding, and I just didn't get to catch up on my sleep yesterday... I'm cranky, need all the coffee, and just want my bed.

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! I attached a stock photo of my dress.  It was perfect, made me look skinny, and feel fabulous! I'd wear it everyday if I could!

picklesplease

@MonaLisaRalphio - You looked absolutely gorgeous. Love that dress!

Month/Cycle: 8/7

Cd/DPO: 22/5

Timing: Not very good. -3, -2

Testing: Waiting until 10DPO. We'll see if I can hold out. I have a stack of Wondfos that are burning a hole in my pocket!

R/R/CS: Not too much to report. The best part of coming back after being gone a while is that my students are super excited to see me. The worst part of coming back after being gone a while is...coming back after being gone a while. My brain started going into "Summer Mode." I didn't want to get up this morning and I was a few minutes late, BUT I have first block plan, so it's all good. ONLY 28 DAY LEFT!

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married.

I got a David Tutera dress and absolutely loved it. There was quite a bit of drama around that day because my mom wanted to appear to be the "cool mom" to my future MIL and my bridesmaids, so she said the price tag was limitless, while I was trying to keep things pretty conservative. She would have found a dress she liked and would have thrown a hissy fit and called me spoiled if I had bought a super expensive dress. (Something to keep in mind about my relationship with my mother is that it's very toxic. She practically hates me.) So the ladies (bridesmaids and my mom) brought in over 20 dresses for me to try and I kept looking at the price tags and sending them back. My mom was super offended about it, but I eventually found the perfect dress. I'm pretty conservative in my style, so I couldn't went a strapless dress. This beauty was perfect. The embroidery was exquisite and I never felt over-exposed.



ETA: WHAT is with all of these ads on here? They appear out of nowhere!!! They've got me all like:

sLass42

@sldp123 Fx for a quick sale
Month/Cycle: 8/6

Cd/DPO: 46/2 or 10?

Timing: good

Testing: bfn frer 4/4, bfn ic 4/7. Holding out on my last frer till at least 4/15 I hope.

R/R/CS: Took a blue dye cheapie opk on cd43 and got a pos so FF moved O to cd44. I still think might've been around cd36, but not sure. Trying not to ss, but I'm not all crampy and sick feeling like I normally am so that's strange, I'm normally having migraines by now. Still just hanging out waiting..


GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married.
We had an outdoor wedding, so I didn't want too much poof but still wanted that fairy tale look.
This is a stock photo btw, not me! I've got it on in my profile pic too tho!

Edited- wrong cd, math is hard

clover28

Month/Cycle: 6/6

Cd/DPO: 28/12ish 

Timing: Meh

Testing: BFNs all around. Squinted at a wondfo for like five minutes this morning praying for a line, but nope. Then, I dug it out of the trash.. Still nope. FFS.

R/R/CS: I wish AF would just appear and this cycle be over with. DH wants me to not temp the next couple cycles either and just relax since I graduate from grad school next month and take boards in June. What he doesnt understand is, temping makes me feel like I can control something. It doesnt stress me out like it does him. He still wants to TTGP, but he thinks temping is just going overboard.  He understands the science of it (he's an MD who did OB for years) but in his mind we should just HIO every other day and call it good.

ETA: TheBump ate the rest of my post, but it basically just said my wedding gown was big and fluffy but heavy as heck.

ETA (again): TMI- I was Bumping on the potty when I wrote this post (dont act like you dont do it) and just realized I started AF right after I posted this. CD1 for me, ladies. I dont want to see any of you in the WTO.

RatsPJ

Heading over the the TTGP Weekly grad board. Thank you all for your support, I'm going to lurk and love tit like it's my job

**Lurking**

OMG @MonaLisaRalphio that dress though! So gorgeous!! If I had to redo my wedding, that's what I would get! 

@RatsPJ YAY!!! Congrats!! You are why I came over lurking!! SO happy for you! H&H 9!!

beff12

@RatsPJ congratulations!! Best wishes!  


Month/Cycle: 3/3

Cd/DPO: 24/11

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

Testing: 13 DPO - Wednesday! Eek

R/R/CS: I shut my finger in the car door yesterday. Never in my life have I done that. So stupid haha. But ouch. 

In other news, DH has off Mondays and cooked us a delicious breakfast this morning! 

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married.

I loved my wedding dress looking back, I wish it had had straps because I had to pull on it some throughout the day, but all in all it was pretty perfect! 

SnobunnieMel

Month/Cycle: 5/3 (1/1 TTCAL)

Cd/DPO: 41/9

Timing: -4,-1,+1

Testing: I caved. Today. BFN obviously. Everyday from here on out. 

R/R/CS: ***tw**** had a temp drop this morning, still well above cover but it is making me feel out. Then my BSC had to compare against my chart with my BFP and of course I had a big temp drop on DPO9 then a big spike when I got my P on dpo10 so of course now all I can do is compare every aspect of that chart to this one searching for similarities. And my mind is convinced I'm totes KU just from the copious amount of creamy CM. ****tw over****

GTKY: I LOVED!!! My dress. More of a fit and flare, lots of vintage lace and beading. It was exactly what I wanted. I would love to wear it again for a vow renewal or something. (Mobile bumper so pic will be huge) 

hanshotfirst77

congrats @RatsPJ !!!

Zoey1019

@clover28  Sorry for the BFN... Hurts...

Zoey1019

@RatsPJ Congrats!

MamaCoffin

Squee!!!! @RatsPJ so excited!!!! 

I guess I should answer my own post. Lol.

Month/Cycle: 5 / 3 ttcal 

Cd/DPO: 22 / 8 I think 

Timing: great I think 

Testing: "hi my name is Jen and I'm addicted to peeing on things".... BFN of course 

R/R/CS: I think I'm coming down from my bsc. I think. The bfn today is helping me to hold on to reality. I'm definitely going back to charting and temping next cycle. This has been break enough. 

GTKY: It was a second marriage for both of us. We planned it in 3 weeks. I had to go to Davids Bridal and buy something off the clearance rack. Amazingly I found something that fit perfectly with the exception of the length. It had gorgeous scalloped lace on the bottom and in order to alter it out would have been over $300. I only paid $250 for it. I opted to go get the biggest platforms I could find and I got to be tall for a day! It was awesome. And I had the blisters to prove it.

@ratspj yay! congrats!

** Birthday Chart Stalk Request! ** Back later for comments! 

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 22/4 according to FF maybe 6?

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, 0  OR  -4, -3, -2, -1, 0

Testing: I’m going to try to wait until AF is late. Hahaha.  I know I know.  I won’t be able to wait!

R/R/CS: Just got my CH!  Nothing better than Birthday CH!! Obviously it's my birthday today so that’s fun but it’s also Monday which is awful!  I’m requesting a birthday **chart stalk**, please!!!  FF is telling me that I O’d on CD 18 which isn’t completely out of the ordinary however, if I disregard my CD 18 temp, it moves O to CD 16 which is more normal for me.  I also did a chart overlay for both O on CD 16 and O on CD 18 and pattern-wise (in my opinion) it looks more in line if O was on CD 16(see below).  I’m still relatively new to temping. Only been temping for 5 months so I was hoping someone might be able to lend me some of their expertise!  Thanks in advance everyone!

GTKY: Since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married. DH and I got married in the Dominican Republic this past October with 60 of our family and friends.  I had a fit and flare/ mermaid dress (in my profile picture).  It was the first dress I tried on.  I loved it so much.

Month/Cycle: 6/3 *TTCAL*

Cd/DPO: 18/2

Timing: -2, 0, +1

Testing: No plans right now

R/R/CS: Again, I'm feeling pessimistic about this cycle.  I guess that will just mean I'll be pleasantly surprised if it does happen!

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married.
Mine was fairly simple and I think will be timeless.  The back was a lace up corset and gorgeous!  I didn't really have an image of a "dream dress".  I just wanted something I looked good it and felt beautiful.  The fact that I found it on a sample sale for a quarter of the price was the cherry on top!

sldp123

@kfair001 Happy Birthday!! Hope you enjoy your day! As far as your chart, I think CD18 looks right based on temps and CM. Do you have any reason to discard the temp on CD18? 

MamaCoffin

I have a rant.

Ugh. How would you handle this .....

My friend is in the hospital being induced this morning. She's added me along with several other people to a group chat and she's literally giving us an up to the minute play by play. With pictures. 

I love her. I'm happy for her. But I can't emotionally deal with this today. 

Ugh. I turned off notifications to the chat but now I feel guilty. 

sLass42

@clover28 sorry for cd1
@ratspj congrats on the bfp! H&H 9!

Lecool

*Lurking from WTO*

@jenmlangtake2 Don't feel guilty. I'd do the same thing. She probably won't even notice, since it's a whole group. If she does and brings it up later, just say that you were in a meeting or something and didn't want your phone buzzing constantly. Hugs to you!

hunnybunny17

Sorry for all the BFNs and BFNsquinters, ladies.

Month/Cycle: 13/9

Timing: -4, -1

Testing: 13DPO

R/R/CS: Holy crap it's almost Wednesday. Re: DH yesterday- so apparently DH thought I would find the announcement unique and adorable, and that is why he showed me. I told him how I felt and that though he's not one to notice announcements a) almost everyone does one and b) the whole balloon gender reveal is the latest trend. So he thought he was doing something sweet and I turned it into something not sweet. Good job, hunnybunny. F you IF.

TW: loss mentioned 

Thanks. It's just tough. Because there is no reason she shouldn't be celebrating this day. And I'm honored that she considers me close enough to include me in this group. But we started out our pregnancies together. I'm supposed to be next. Ugh. Life. 

Dilynne

This is my first time here so bear with me

Month/Cycle: 1/1

Cd/DPO: CD31 DPO is questionable.... see R/R/CS but I'm thinking about 10

Timing: Twice in the FW

Testing: I'm probably not going to test...

R/R/CS: Chart stalk me please! I'm wicked confused. This is my first month off bcp and charting so there isn't a lot to work with but this is what's happening: Cramp like CD1 is on it's way from Thursday to Saturday. Saturday and Sunday FF said I was 8/9 DPO, and then today it basically said my data doesn't add up and they don't know what my cycle is doing, and now it doesn't give me a DPO.  I'm just (not so) patiently waiting for CD1 but it's confusing. What's taking so long?  And I can't get my chart to link without a giant screen shot so I'm super sorry. ETA: Now it won't let me add it at all.

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married. 

My dress! I still love it. It has pearl like beads on the top and for the firs time in my life I felt beautiful.

Month/Cycle: 4 / 4

Cd/DPO: 23 / 9

Timing: good

Testing: tested today because I'm WEAK!! BFN of course

R/R/CS: this morning while I was eating my breakfast I got this feeling of wanting to puke everywhere. I had to throw out my breakfast. of course that made me BSC and on the symptom hunt lol

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married.

 

I'm going to pip a pic of my dress.. hopefully it's not huge. it's not me just a stock pic

R/R/CS: I have my annual with my OB today!!!!!!  I feel like I have been prepping for a big presentation.  I have stats, charts, questions and H's SA results all printed to bring to her to discuss TTC.  So nervous.

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married.
We did this not too long ago (nothing against the question) but I don't feel like digging up the edited pics I posted last time, so you can get the idea from my profile picture.  It was a-line, long, several layers of lace and detail, strapless and a sweetheart neckline.

MamaCoffin

@Sparty18 Oh man. I must have missed it. Sorry to repeat so soon!

britters314

@JediAlly85  Our wedding colors were green and purple too!

@kellybean1988  I also went from feeling 100% out to feeling super optimistic. It’s upsetting getting the BFN (or AF) when that optimistic, but I think I’ve had a better TWW so far than months that I wasn’t optimistic

@Zoey1019  Sorry I had to be the one to dash your hopes yesterday!

@DoctorDonna  Do you not use AdBlocker? I don’t see any of these ads everyone keeps complaining about lol

@clover28  Sorry about CD 1

@kfair001  Do you have a reason to disregard the CD18 temp (other than it’s not a normal O day for you)? CD18 looks right to me, so I would leave it in. You have great timing either way!

@jenmlangtake2  I wouldn’t feel bad turning off the chat notifications. No one can see that you have done that and it’s totally understandable to not want the play-by-play (even if you weren’t TTC)

@Dilynne Can you attach your chart?

Month/Cycle: 8/8

Cd/DPO: 25/10

Timing: -4, -3, 0

Testing: BFN yesterday. Testing again tomorrow.

R/R/CS: It's finally light out when I leave for work in the mornings! Yay spring! And it's decently warm today, too. Off to a good start this week.

GTKY: since someone recently asked about prom dresses it got me curious about wedding dresses! Let's see yours! If you aren't married, show us your dream dress if you were to ever get married.

I don't really feel like getting out the pics, but it was a tea length strapless dress with some flowery patterns on it. Great for an outdoor garden-y wedding.

Sparty18

@jenmlangtake2 No worries!  I love seeing all the dresses and there are a lot of new people since then, I'm just so focused on my OB appointment I can't think about anything else, so digging for those pictures again was just too much work, lol.
