GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 31/4

Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0

Testing: 10 DPO

R/R/CS: I had to fend off the intense BSC this morning of wanting to test because today is my 'normal' CD1. Forget the fact that I'm actually only 4DPO, and you know everything I know about science. I'm totes KU cause my period should be here today and I have no AF synptoms, right?


GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?
Selena Gomez. Ugh.

MelissaM090

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing: After yesterday's BFN, I'm feeling pretty discouraged and like I don't care if I ever test again. But in reality, probably sometime over the weekend unless AF comes. I have an OB/GYN appt on Monday afternoon so it would make sense to know for sure either way before I go.
 
R/R/CS: I was feeling down about my BFN yesterday but doing well with keeping distracted. Until DH was pushing me to tell him what was wrong and I got upset. In hindsight this morning I feel bad because I know he was just trying to help and make me feel better and he HATES when I cry but I wish there was a manual for husbands (and anyone else for that matter) that explains that phrases like 'it'll happen when it happens' and 'you should try and not get so worked up about it' are NOT HELPFUL. 

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike? I actually chose this question today because DH and I were just discussing Scarlett Johanssen and how despite every red-blooded male on the planet seems to be into her, I just don't get and she annoys the crap out of me for some reason. I also have a lot of trouble liking extreme comedic actors like Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler. I've seen them in certain roles I didn't mind, but in movies like Ace Ventura, Anchorman and/or Billy Madison  (as examples) I find their shtick to be over-the-top and annoying.

Month/Cycle: 9/6

CD/DPO: 44/8

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

Testing: gonna wait til 10 DPO 

R/R/CS: so my temp dropped half a degree so BSC SS me is all like "that was totes an implantation dip!" But DS had stolen the blanket and my husband had the air conditioning on for some reason I do not understand when it was cold last night. So yeah I was probably just cold. 

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?  I don't follow country music and am sincerely puzzled when people ooh and ahh over these male country singers who are clearly bald and just covering it with a cowboy hat. 

felix08

@AliciaGoose I applaud your willpower this morning!
@melissam090 I totally get what you're saying about testing...most cycles I don't even test at all because by the time I'm in the normal testing range I can already tell AF is coming. Sorry you were feeling down and that your DH was saying all the wrong things (at least with good intentions, though)!

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 25/9

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing: Probably won't need to.  I feel like Eeyore because I have been so pessimistic on here the last couple days...sorry about that, guys!

R/R/CS: Well, I had some contrasting temps this morning. I generally temp around 5-5:30 (but don't set an alarm...usually I just wake up naturally and then go back to sleep). I woke up at 3 and temp was 97.55 but then went back to sleep until my alarm at 6:30 and temp was 98.02. I obviously prefer the 6:30 temp but kept the earlier one because I think that will keep me more realistic about my cycle.

I have a rave about myself--I have yet to google any "symptoms!!" This is a huge accomplishment (but I probably spoke too soon, haha).

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike? Hmm I'm sure there is, but I can't think of any at the moment. I'll update later if I think of one.

ETA: Anna Kendrick. I don't know why, but she always strikes me as trying too hard to be "cool" or "down to earth." 

beary67

Month/Cycle:  6/6 (+1 month not charting)

CD/DPO:  17/7

Timing:  -4, -3, -1, +1

Testing:  Monday, May 2nd.  

R/R/CS:  Still not 100% sure if I ovulated, but I'm going to stick around in the TWW if that's ok with everyone because I have cross hairs.  My temp went up slightly today from what it was yesterday, but it is still very low for the TWW.  I am continuing to take OPKs just so we don't miss anything, and we are still having sex EOD this cycle, so our bases are covered.  It's just frustrating because I went from being able to turn OPKs positive, to not having a positive OPK in the last 3 cycles (besides last cycle--I had a positive for a few hours but based on temps, I did not ovulate).  I'm hoping I can bring this up with the RE at our appointment on Tuesday.  

GTKY: I can't figure out why, but for some reason I dislike Beyonce.  I'm ok with her older music, but I can't stand some of her new stuff and either her attitude or personality bothers me.  Like I said, I have no rationale for my feelings!    

ETA: Bold titles

houseofsetters

Month/Cycle: 4/3 ATTC (11/6 NTNP)

CD/DPO: 33/6

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1, +1

Testing: Starting to think it won't be necessary.

R/R/CS: My temps have been so weirdly steady and lower than normal so far this LP. I guess on the plus side, it's not fueling any BSC!

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?
Matthew McConaughey. I really can't stand him! Except maybe for in True Detective.

Oh my goodness!!  There is no way the guy on the left is Kenny Chesney!!  He looks totally different without the hat!!  I  country music, too...but I do NOT think Kenny Chesney is attractive at all! 

PepperAT

Month/ Cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: 28/11

Timing: -5 -3 -1 0

Testing: The crazies took over yesterday and I tested when I got home from work, BFN. It could not be any more negative. If AF does not start today, will test tomorrow morning.


R/R/CS: Clearly, I cannot be left alone. When I confessed to H that I tested and it was negative, his response "Not even a little something? Did you look really hard?" I did not admit to how long I stared at that test. 
My temp is still high, but still has the downward pattern, so now I am just waiting.

GTKY: I don't know if he is well liked, but I cannot stand Nicholas Cage. My H laughs at me for it, but I just can't stand seeing him or hearing his voice. I just can't. I refuse to watch a movie if he is in it.

Kenya715

Month/Cycle: 4/2

CD/DPO: 28/10

Timing: -3, -2, -1

Testing: Friday, if no spotting

R/R/CS: Made it through the first day of no spotting! Yay! And this morning, I have the highest temp for a 10dpo, but as we all know - you can have a perfect chart and that don't mean sh*t. So not getting my hopes up. Still digging into my project at work and it's helping to distract. I had a calm feeling come over me last night that just said "Not this month but maybe next", and I suddenly was just OK with everything. I'm going to hold onto that feeling for as long as I can. So happy to be out of the crazy bubble! 

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike? Jennifer Aniston! UGH! I don't know why, but I just can't stand her. Never could. I don't think she's a great actress and I don't see how people think she's gorgeous. I respect her, but she's definitely not my fave.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO:23/12. So proud of myself i held out this long not to test AF due very soon (or maybe not...) temp is still elevated. Its been pretty consistent since O day.

Timing: great. If my BBT is accurate

Testing: if no AF by this weekend

R/R/CS: 

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?
 the duggar family. They seem like nice people but ugh. I can't even with them. Nope!

******Question in R/R/CS**********
Month/Cycle: 20/20

CD/DPO: 20/?

Timing: Every third day/every other dayish since CD9

Testing: OI'll give it till CD30ish

R/R/CS: ****Question****
Okay, I'm sorry for this. I need every type of warning. Like, TMI, NSFW. I'm serious. You probably don't want to read. But I have to ask anyway. Guys, I know it doesn't technically matter, because you know "it only takes one sperm," but obviously we all want to increase our chances right? Of course, so tell me... how do you guys keep it from all spilling out? I know, gross, I'm sorry. But like, I feel so wasteful. We already are dealing with low counts and low morphology, I don't want to further decrease the chances. 

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?
Sorry-not-sorry: Beyonce. So over-rated. I used to generally like her back in the earlier days, but ugh. She's too much now.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 30/12

Timing: 0

Testing: not going to

R/R/CS: Last night was a rough one for sleep. Finally got to sleep around 1230 and was woken up when DH got home from work at 430. I came home early from work yesterday because of my migraine. Hoping it stays away today, but I feel it lingering. 

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?

Beyonce. I don't get it. And she's everywhere right now. Her fans are being ridiculous and threatening other celebrities and their children over suspicions that they're "Becky" from her new song. All I can think is that they really need to grow up and get a life.

This made me literally laugh out loud. 

@beary67 I'm totally with you on the Beyonce thing! 

@melissam090 that was a fun GTKY question!

teamginger13

Month/Cycle: 17/20

CD/DPO: 10dpo

Timing: -2

Testing: waiting for AF which should be here Friday

R/R/CS: I had crazy dreams last night.. not really pregnancy related or anything but I did dream at one point that I was throwing up and when I woke up of course I thought to myself maybe that is a sign!? Yeah probably not.

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike? I can't stand Adam Levine's voice. I hate it so much I have to turn the radio off every time one of his songs comes on.

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?
I also don't like Beyonce.  I respect her and understand why people like her, but I just can't get into any of her songs (with the exception of when she was featured in Telephone by Lady Gaga).  We had a "no Beyonce" rule for the DJ at our wedding.

Testing: Next Tuesday.

R/R/CS: Nothing really. I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep earlier this week, but I slept ALL NIGHT last night. It was so nice.

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike? Julia Roberts. I don't know why. She just irritates me.

Megs7911

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 23/12

Timing: -3, -1, 0, +1 but not good enough

Testing: BFN this morning, again, bc apparently I am a glutton for punishment.

R/R/CS: I can't even. I know it's only been two cycles of officially TTC, but I'm having a rough day. Everyone around me is getting pregnant "without even trying" or "on their first try". Gross. I didn't realize how heavily invested in this cycle I was until now. I was still crossing my fingers for a 2016 baby and now that's not happening, trivial and dumb, I know. Sorry to be such a debbie downer today. Just "having a day" i guess.

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike? I will definitely hop on the Beyonce dislike bandwagon @linzrunz and @Mommyforthefirsttime. I used to really like her and her music, but lately she has just kind of gone off the deep end. I'm all for the empowerment of women, especially women of color bc I don't think there are enough positive role models out there, but I'm like "can we find a better way?". 

I also really dislike Kevin Spacey. I can't stand his voice or his stupid face. bleh. I can't fathom why everyone is all "house of cards is the greatest show on earth." ugh.

@MelissaM090 I am with you on the ridiculousness of Will Ferrell and others. Sometimes I can manage a chuckle, but most of the time I watch those movies with my Britney face on...

@PepperAT sorry for the BFN. Hugs.

@KarliQ88 Stay strong cycle buddy!!! I have everything crossed for you!

Month/Cycle: 5

CD/DPO: 26/3

Timing: -4, -1

Testing: Nope

R/R/CS:  I'm still not positive about O, but most things seem to point to it happening. 

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?  Brad Pitt. I don't get it.  I mean, I sort of get it based on looks, but he's always seemed kind of boring.  Sorry.

ShadeofGreen816

**Lurker** **Question posted in R/R/CS**
Month/Cycle: N/A. We are TTA due to grad school (I'm literally counting the days until we can TTC)

CD/DPO: 26/?10 or so? I am only tracking with FF and monitoring CM. No BBT for now

Timing: Potentially -1, +1 (not great timing for TTA, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if we had an "oops")

Testing: None unless I'm like a week "Late"

R/R/CS: So, here's the deal. The reason I'm here is I have a really gross weird TMI question and I honestly just want to know how to track so I can decide if I'm CD1 or not. This board gets more traffic than the TTA/Benched board. So, **TMI** on Monday I started what I want to call spotting. However, its so different from anything else I normally do. I don't have anything in my underwear (now I'm wearing a pad because I'm not sure what's about to happen), but when I wipe, I have a large amount of bright red blood and have had a couple of clots. Mon, Tues, and today about 2-3 times each day. WTF? Is this a thing? My normal "spotting" is like just barely blood, but this sometimes drips into the toilet and it looks like I'm legit on my period but nothing else is happening. I'm on CD 26 now, which is a little short for me (I'm usually 28-30 days), but I'm stressed out (so I know my cycle could be off) and obviously don't know what day I O'ed. So... do I count this as spotting or CD1? Anyone have any ideas? Sorry if some of that was graphic, I'm a nurse, so I sometimes don't know where the line of "too gross" really falls!

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?

I'm 100% on the Beyonce train. But also, Angelina Jolie. I think she may have invented Resting B***h Face....

danceitout

@MelissaM090 sorry about DH's "advice." He's trying to be helpful, but it almost never feels that way. Blerg.
@PepperAT sorry about your BFN, but I'm totally with you on Nicholas Cage. He completely weirds me out.
@Megs7911 so sorry for your BFN and for crappy days in general. Lots of hugs.

Month/Cycle: 2/2 (didn't chart first month)

CD/DPO: 25/8

Timing: -4, -3, -1

Testing: Planned on asking my GP to do a urine test this morning at my physical, but couldn't hold my FMU until then so I took one myself and got a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery faint line, to the point where I think I may just be crazy. Asked her to test anyway, and the urine test was negative (no surprises, especially an hour after I'd just taken a test), but since she was drawing blood anyway, she's running a blood test. Trying not to get too excited, but she said she'll most likely have the results today and will call me first! FX! My cycles are 26 days usually, so I'm expecting AF any time!

R/R/CS: I keep obsessively looking at my chart like something is going to change. I even entered period dates for the last year to see if anything changed. It bumped my anticipated period date up, but that's about it. 

GTKY: I'm totally with everyone who said Beyonce. Again, liked her old stuff, but not so much anymore. My big one is Seth Rogan. I find him totally irritating and really abhor his "brand" of comedy. My DH and his best friend were watching one of his movies recently and I actually got up and left the house because I couldn't take it.

MrsWifey89

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 13/1

Timing: -5, -1, 0, +1 .... O kind of crept up on me and happened a lot sooner than I expected, would have liked our timing to be a bit better but I will take what we got

Testing: We will see I'd like to wait until AF, but it's DH's birthday on 10 DPO.... so maybe that day

R/R/CS: It's been really interesting learning my body and O signs. Having been on BC for 10+ years I definitely still have a lot to learn. Has anyone else discovered that they are super moody around O? lol Like I feel like my O symptoms are like 100 times worse than PMS. Oh my poor hubby.....

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?
I kind of don't really have an opinion on this. I am a pretty chill person/ don't really pay attention to a lot of celebrities. My friends often ask if I live under a rock.....

cjs260

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 27/8

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

Testing: I've caught the BSC. I ordered some wondfo cheapies, which should get here tomorrow, so hopefully not before then. I've learned to not keep them in the house unless I want to waste them and drive myself insane. 

R/R/CS: I am a hormonal mess. I get pretty bad PMS irritability that starts right about now. I cried at my friend's birthday/painting party last night, because I messed up my painting. Ugh, I'm embarrassed. 

GTKY: I loathe Rachel Ray. She acts/looks like this awful girl I went to high school with, and her fakeness just makes me angry. I won't watch her shows, I won't watch a show if she's a guest, and I won't purchase anything that has her name on it.

**Lurking from WTO**

@sarahRN87 I had something similar happen last cycle. It was unlike any spotting I've ever had. Started the same way but was a few days earlier than AF was supposed to arrive (but I have irregular cycles so no telling).  *TMI* It turned into extreme stringy heavy clotting and went dark dark red. This lasted about half a day then went in to a regular light af followed by a few days of spotting. Total of maybe 4 days. I waited and marked down the full flow/clotting day as AF and marked everything I didn't need my moon cup for as spotting.  No bfps so I'm going with= weird cycle.
Not sure if that's much help, but it definitely freaked me out a little and it helps to hear it can be pretty normal.

mrsdaddario

**Lurking from WTO**

@MommyForTheFirstTime I completely understand that conundrum! When we first started TTC I thought the same thing, it can fall out so fast lol. I asked DH to (total TMI but I assume you're ready for it lol) pull out slower. It seems if he does, it doesn't come flying out. Then lay there for a while. Try it out, hopefully it works for you! And GL! 

HurricaneAmelia

Month/Cycle:  7

CD/DPO:  24/7

Timing:  good

Testing:  tomorrow at doc, then not again till I am late

R/R/CS:  I am still fuming over my DHs financial infidelity from yesterday.  I can't even think about TTC right now.  And it's awful because part of me is terrified that if this is my cycle, I am going to be sort of panicked over the timing and where things stand with us right now. 

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?  BEYONCE!!!!!  I am so not into her music and think she's WAY overrated. 

KristoKekerooni

@mrsdaddario - yeah we definitely pull out slowly. I even have a box of tissues handy to sort of plug it up for a bit. (I know, I'm sorry, gross) But he for some reason he is never very far in when he actually releases so almost all of it spills out... again, since we have low volume/count, that's so not helpful. It's not a size thing, since he's pretty... he just says he can't when he's all the way in... (WTF?) Anyway. Thanks for your input!!!

RatParade

@MommyForTheFirstTime I just asked this same question recently!  The advice I got here and in my google searches was to just lie there for awhile (like 20 minutes!), ideally with your hips tilted up.  When he pulls out I just put my hand down there and kinda plug it up haha.  I really can only manage lying there for 5 minutes or so, but even those few minutes seem to really help.  A lot less seems to come out after.


Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 19/2 (estimated)

Timing: -4, -2, -1

Testing:  15dpo

R/R/CS:  I regret not HIO the last two nights (O, +1), but I was so freaking tired I just wanted to sleep.  Right now it feels like it was worth it, but I know when my period starts in a couple weeks I'm going to be so mad at myself.

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike?  Joseph Gordon-Levitt.  I don't really have anything against him, but I don't think he's attractive and there's something about his expression that seems arrogant to me.

Edit- fixed typo

cjs260

@mrsdaddario Have you tried *ahem* finishing after your DH finishes? It's a pretty contested idea in the scientific community, but it's thought that during the big O (not ovulation) the cervix may move up and down to dip into the seminal pool available in the vaginal canal and thus facilitating a better chance for the sperm to get through the cervical os/into the fertile cervical fluid. Another idea is that the female O can cause seminal fluid to be "upsucked" through the cervical os (much less likely to be proven true, imo). I say these things are contested, because without women volunteering to O in a laboratory setting with EMG electrodes placed on their cervix/vaginal canal, it's unlikely that it will ever be proven.  I'm of the option that the female O is NOT evolutionarily vestigial (like male nipples) and it serves some purpose. (Though the purpose may not have anything to do with seminal transport - I study the neurophysiology of sexual function and could go on about this topic for hours). Either way, if you're working with limited seminal fluid, I don't think it would hurt, especially if you're taking care to keep as much in as possible already. 

Edit: Fix wording

KristoKekerooni

@cjs260 - ( @mrsdaddario ) I know that advice wasn't directed at me, but I'm gonna make a comment anyway. My hubs and I have a routine down pat so we can try to get as good timing as possible. Because of this, sex just isn't the same. I told my Hubby that I really needed to O after because it helps (I left out the part where it probably isn't actually important). So now, after he finishes and we wait a few minutes before he pulls out, he very sweetly covers me up with a blanket (I get so cold!!) and hands me my vibrator and leaves the room for a bit. That way I can still O so I am not unsatisfied and it gives us the slim-if-any advantage of Oing. It's a win-win.

I'm sorry for BFN!:-( i hear you though. I know its only second month (like you) but its hard not to think if something is wrong when others are all "it happened our first try" or "oops. How did that happen? I was on birth control." grr. But thank you for fingers crossed. Holding out til this weekend. It seems easier to me to accept AF than a BFN.

cjs260

I'm so sorry @MommyForTheFirstTime  I completely forgot to tag you in that. I edited then ran upstairs for a meeting. Sincerest apologies! 

KarliQ88

Ok...question! This is my first month BBT. 2nd month TTC. I'm using the glow app so my chart looks different than what everyone posts but same concept.
I had a temp rise around CD 11. Im CD 23 now. My temp is still up...but if and when i see a dip i should be expecting my period that day correct? I'm expecting it in next couple days (hopefully i don't though).

I had a temp rise around CD 11. Im CD 23 now. My temp is still up...but if and when i see a dip i should be expecting my period that day correct? I'm expecting it in next couple days (hopefully i don't though).

@KarliQ88 you may not get a dip until after AF (if it comes). Sometimes my temp dips before cd1 and sometimes it's not until cd3-4. Maybe others can weigh-in? I would give yourself the standard 14 days after o, since you don't have anything to base it on right now. But, know that a a day or two (or more) in either direction is definitely possible. I have shorter cycles like you and my lp is usually around 13 days, but I have had a 15 day lp before and i was not ktfu. Sorry if that is not helpful, just my experience.

ETA: If you end up sticking around for another cycyle I would highly recommend getting fertility friend. It is much easier to understand and see a pattern on your bbt than Glow. There are also A LOT of really useful tutorials on charting that make everything easier to understand.

@KarliQ88 yea I second fertility friend. Glow isn't the same, and can't replicate what FF provides. Hopefully you won't need it, but if you do, I say switch. 

Also, the first dip isn't always the day you get it, sometimes it can be a couple of days later.

Month/Cycle: 7/3

CD/DPO: 53/3

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

Testing: 10dpo

R/R/CS: My last cycle was 53 days long so it's really annoying seeing this one go longer. I keep seeing that long cycles makes it harder to conceive. On the bright side, I had 5 days of spotting around CD 20-25, give or take. So chances are I had a short anovulatory cycle there and some lining shedded, but I didn't mark it as a light period or anything since I barely needed a pantiliner.

GTKY: Is there a popular celebrity that is generally well-liked, but you just don't 'get' them or actively dislike? Uhh the Kardashians? I mean, are they even well-liked to begin with?

@MommyForTheFirstTime ok TMI but my H says that if I'm on my back when he finishes we "make a mess" but if I'm on my stomach/hands and knees there isn't as much that spills out right away. Then I flip onto my back and lay still for a while, then I can wait 15-20 minutes before I notice spillage.
