Cylce/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 23/9

Timing: -1, 0

Testing: this morning... BFN, feeling very out

R/R: feeling kind of bummed because of the BFN. I ate a whole lot of brownies and it's not even 11 a.m...

CS/Q: nope.

GTKY:  You are planning the perfect date with you and your DH/SO.  What do you do? Be on a private sandy beach on a lake or river (freshwater) with our puppy (ok... he's actually 6, not a puppy), and plop there for a day, with of course a whole bunch of picnic food and stuff to grill right there!

You guys, why is it taking so long to get the weekend WTO/TWW going?  Is it really that slow around here on the weekend....?  Am I really so lame that I'm the only one sitting around waiting for the threads to start?  Lol

Cycle/Month: 9th "official" TTC cycle / 8th month... really longer tho cos our last cycle NTNP we had -1, O  timing...  :/

16/3

-4, -3, -2, O, +2

Nerp.

Rant- see above! Lol
Rave- DH has the last 3 of his 6 licensure exams all scheduled today!!!  I am so proud of him for going through with all this.... fx he passes everything today, and then the rest is all paperwork!

CS/Q:  So I had this weird predictive line thing in FF for CD14 ever since I put in my Peak OPK reading.  Which I wasn't buying.  Sure enough, now we've moved it all to CD13.  I guess I'm just nervous b/c I am supposed to start my Progesterone the evening of 3DPO, so I don't want to screw it up... Halp!

GTKY:  DH and I both took up golf over Father's Day weekend!  ...buuuut we haven't been again since. So right now, I would say an afternoon actually trying to play 18 holes on a beautiful course like total newbs, followed by a yummy exotic dinner at a place we havent tried yet, like for Thai, or we were actually just talking about Korean this morning!

[Deleted User]

@Nelbetron ugh, sorry about the BFN. :( it's still early though.... ((hugs))

AliciaGoose

@BusinessWife I'm waiting around for WTO but now that you're here I think I might have to suck it up and start it myself. Also I reallllly think CD13 is O. If I were you I would start the progesterone tonight.

[Deleted User]

@AliciaGoose  I have been up for a while, busily lurking last week's Grad check-in... ;)  eta I think the thing that has me nervous is still a bit of lingering fertile CM, like I definitely didn't immediately 100% "dry up"

Nelbetron

@BusinessWife no I sit around and wait for threads to start too lol... i guess I needed a place to be whiny and sad this morning. (And probably for the next 5 or so mornings) I hope it's still early, but I just have this gut feeling it's not this month... I could be wrong though!

Cylce/Month: 12/12

CD/DPO: 21/7, 9dpt, 7dpiui

Timing: -4, -2, iui on O, +1

Testing: been testing out trigger. still there this morning but very light.

R/R: mildly stressing still about getting our almost 17k back from our contractor who died. i'm trying to trust that it'll all work out but things are kind of a mess. He had thrown in an egress window so we could finish our basement for "free." (we were paying him for a 2nd floor room addition) Well, the hole is dug outside and that's it. We just had a guy come by and quote us on finishing it for $4,600. No fricking way. Plus, the hole!! We've had this huge hole in our yard for over a week now - so, not the safest! I also have all these canker sores from the massive amounts of pineapple I had a few days ago and can barely talk. I am a mess!!

CS/Q: I hate my chart.

GTKY:  You are planning the perfect date with you and your DH/SO.  What do you do? Probably just a kid free night to go out to dinner on our own and painting together while watching a movie at home. That sounds so relaxing.

Marley629

Cycle/Month: 10/10

CD/DPO: 17/4

Timing: -1 (I'm ok with just this bc we always miss -1..maybe that's all we need ?) 

Testing: nope. 

R/R:  crummy weather here so taking a trip to the mall! Trying to get my steps in somehow 

CS/Q:

GTKY:  You are planning the perfect date with you and your DH/SO.  What do you do?

i want to relive our first date again. We went to the boardwalk, ate pizza and fried pickles (knew he was the one right then lol) and played boardwalk games. Then we talked for hours 

katiegeminimoon

Cylce/Month: 1 TTCAL 6 total

CD/DPO: 25/8

Timing: -4, -3, O

Testing: BFN CD 7 (duh). May test again tomorrow. 

R/R: I'm really tire of people congratulating me on my recent marriage, then asking about my precious marriage, then asking if/when we will have kids. Rude much? Mind your own business b. 

CS/Q: None

GTKY:  You are planning the perfect date with you and your DH/SO.  What do you do?
We are pretty boring, but I have been wanting to try The Melting Pot so maybe that and then an activity like a painting class or pottery painting. 

[Deleted User]

@AliciaGoose  Eeeep!  Then I put in EWCM for today, cos like I said, I haven't really "dried up" and FF gives me DOTTED CH!!  wth :/

mrsdaddario

@BusinessWife I'm no pro, but to me it almost looks like Thursday was O. I can't remember, do you do OPK's?

Cylce/Month: 10/6

CD/DPO: 23-10dpt-9dpiui 

Timing: -4, -2, IUI on O, +1

Testing: Ugh

R/R: I caved like a jerk this afternoon (of all the times I pick 1pm?! Just why mrsdaddario). Anyway, BFN of course. Not even a hint of the trigger. I know it's still "early" to get a BFP, but I really feel out now. The cramping is still prevalent but I know that's from the progesterone. The tingly thing in my nipple I had yesterday is gone. Now I have to wait an excruciating 5 days before blood work with RE. I'm feeling really down. I'm wondering if this is ever in the cards for DH and I. Or if I'm just setting us up for heartbreak. I'm also getting nervous because after this cycle, we can only do one or two more Letrozole cycles before moving on to injectables. Of course I'm willing to do that, but my insurance only covers 4 rounds of that. And I know the meds are a lot more expensive than Letrozole, which was actually free for me. I know I'm thinking too far ahead but insurance doesn't cover any IVF and honestly I don't even know if I'd want to put us through that. I wish my head would just stop swimming in TTC. I'm going to start a puzzle on this rainy day and hope it keeps me distracted.  

CS/Q:

GTKY:  You are planning the perfect date with you and your DH/SO.  What do you do?
First we go out to dinner. Then we come home and watch a movie. That's our favorite date night as lame as it is!

Marley629

@BusinessWife I agree with @mrsdaddario that Thursday looks like O day to me 

MrsBinPA

Month/Cycle:  19/2 TTCAL

CD/DPO:  18/4

Timing:  -5,-4,-3,-2,0,+1

Testing plan:  Next Friday or Saturday 10 or 11 DPO.

R/R:  Today is the due date of my second loss.  I'm taking it harder than I expected.  We have fun plans for later which I am hoping will lift me out of my funk,  but right now I just feel blah.

I went to Minute Clinic yesterday and they confirmed I have a poison ivy like dermatitis.  Because it was blistering and spreading I am on a prednisone taper.  More fuel for the theory my immune system is garbage which also fuels my negative feelings about every having a rainbow.

Sorry to be Debbie Downer.

Questions?  Anyone have any good home remedies for poison ivy!!  I am itchy AF!!!

GTKY:  Our recent favorite date night would be going to our favorite bistro in our cute small town for happy hour buck a shuck oysters and cheap top shelf martinis.

saralee797-2

Cylce/Month: 6/7

CD/DPO: 36/3

Timing: -5,-4,-2, 0, +1,+2

Testing: 

R/R: Just happy to be here 

CS/Q: 

GTKY:  You are planning the perfect date with you and your DH/SO.  What do you do? We started a wine collection after visiting Napa Valley. So I would say grabbing a nice bottle and walking to a byob for dinner followed by a movie on the couch in sweats. 

@BusinessWife I threw out those super high temps from early in my cycle this morning and entered my temp and bam CH!! IMO though O was the day after what FF predicted but hey we'll see. I also think your O could be Thursday too honestly. Glad you are here with me! FX!!

AliciaGoose

@BusinessWife Ah, that is a seriously tricky chart. Depending on your temp tomorrow FF might move those crosshairs. Were you only doing the digital OPK? Or did you do regular ones as well? 

Also in terms of the progesterone, what would happen if you started 1 day early or 1 day late in terms of repercussions? Since it's possible today could be one day early but tomorrow could be 1 day late.

I retract my early statement. @mrsdaddario and @Marley629 probably have it right since that 1dpo temp is still in normal range for your pre-O temps. And since the CM still hasn't dried up completely. I hate when O is tricky to catch!

ETA again: the reason I think maybe 14 now is because of what I said above. But the reason I thought 13 to begin with is because of that dip - which is what usually happens to me on O day. Is it crazy to say that if you ovulated day 13 at night that maybe the progesterone just didnt spike enough by the next day to get a super high temperature, which is why 1dpo looks so low? I honestly have no idea and need to bow out to the more superior chart stalkers here!

[Deleted User]

@mrsdaddario  yes, just the CBAdv ones.  So that gave me my Peak Wednesday, and when I put that in, FF immediately predicted O Thursday, with this crazy vertical line (even in Advanced mode, not just OPK mode).  But I was convinced with the super-low dip, that Wednesday was going to be O day.  And then I could swear I felt mild O-cramps around 9PM Wednesday night.  But of course I could have been imagining things.

Why would you guys say CD14 and not CD13?  Out of curiosity?  @Marley629  @Saralee797 and also, Yay!!!! :D

Anyway, sorry if I feel like I'm acting like a total newb AW, but I'm stressing because of which night to start my Progesterone... :/

[Deleted User]

@AliciaGoose  I think THAT THERE is the Question, Right there.  I'm not really sure how much of a difference it makes, one day one way or the other, but last cycle my doctor said either way to stop at 12DPO.  Last cycle, I started at 4DPO cos I O'd on CD11 and I was so weirded out by my early O, I didn't want to start taking it too soon.  The main concern, I believe, is that it not be started prior to ovulation, because well then, that would just screw everything up right there, wouldn't it? lol

AliciaGoose

@BusinessWife As I said above I think it's either CD14 or CD13 at night. I still really want to hang on to CD 13 for whatever reason. That low dip combined with the fact that you think O was at night have me leaning back in that direction again. But again, my chart stalking skills are on total newb levels so I'm going to gracefully bow out of this one! And your 1DPO is low enough to be considered pre-o and therefore could be O day.

So basically the moral of that story is...

[Deleted User]

@MrsBinPA  I'm sorry this is such a rough day for you.  :(  I'm not sure about the poison ivy, either!  Maybe a milk-bath?  https://soapdelinews.com/2009/03/create-your-own-milk-bath-to-soothe-itchy-winter-skin.html

@mrsdaddario  I'm so sorry you're feeling out, but please try not to get discouraged!  Remember those hormones are no joke and it is very easy to get discouraged when you have those crazy chemicals racing through your bloodstream.  Try your best not to believe it and like you said, staying distracted on something fun!

@Saralee797 Amazing timing, too!  BTW!  ;) ;)

@Marley629  Hope you have fun getting your steps in!  I was thinking about trying to drag my flabby butt out for a run since it is grey, but at least it's cool out...

@AliciaGoose Thanks so much for all your feedback!  I feel like I am going to have to just stop obsessing as some point and call it.  Like I have seen ppl prescribed it to start at 2DPO as well, so I"m sure it's not that big a deal - as long as we're all sure I O'd!  lol which seems to be the case, either way.

@ktcakes87   Congratulations on your recent wedding!!!

@Daisy621 Oh dear, that DOES sound like a home improvement nightmare.  Sorry the guy died... uhm... can we please still have our house finished?  Yikes... FX it all gets smoothed out for you...

Sirius37

CD1 for me! I imagine this will be the only CD1 I'll be excited about from here on out, since it means DH and I will be officially able to start TTC. I hope to see none of you over in WTO!

SesshomaruMom

Welp, I'm out.  CD1.  Wait out AF, then I get to go intro myself on WTO.  Back in a couple of weeks.  

BertieMeetsGertie

Cylce/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 17/4 or 17/3

Timing: -3, 0 or -4, -1 (best we could manage while hosting friends during FW!)

Testing: Hahaha! Way too early to even think about that. 

R/R: nothing much today. It's super hot out, so we have to postpone some landscaping work we were going to do on the house. 

CS/Q: this is our first official month trying so I'm still learning. Anyway, FF gave me CH on CD13, but I swear I felt some ovulation pain (well, that's what I'm calling it) the following day. Heres my chart:

GTKY: I would say going out for a nice meal, having a nice bottle of Cabernet or quality single malt scotch, and then either seeing a movie or playing pool.

[Deleted User]

@BertieMeetsGertie I would say between the pre-O dip, the dramatic temp rise, and the change in CM from fertile-type to non-fertile type, I'd say pretty safe to go with FF on this one ;)

saralee797-2

@BusinessWife mostly because of the CM still being around. If starting the progesterone either way won't hurt I wouldn't worry too much about it!! 

BertieMeetsGertie

@BusinessWife, thanks! So, does ovulation typically occur the same day as the lowest temp or is it the following day when it spikes? I was hoping for a -1 timing instead of 0, but it's too late to do anything different this cycle! 

[Deleted User]

THIS JUST IN!!!   So I texted my Creighton instructor, and she said keep HIO because I could be having a split Peak, where just because I peaked on CD13 with the OPKs, really the second peak is peak fertility.  Soooo... since I still have EWCM she told us to HIO!

She fully responded with all the dance emojiis, too! lol  Even before I talked to her, when I mentioned to DH that I wasn't Quite sure of my O-date, he was like, "well, better safe than sorry!"  lol  He's the best! 
(and so far he's passed 2/3 exams today, for those of you playing along at
home...)

Sorry to be so all over the place, I guess I should have stayed in WTO #badform but lo and behold, if I enter two more high temps, FF gives me CH for CD15.

So she told me to wait on the progesterone, too.  I appreciate everyone who's been weighing in; I know it's annoying but also, I'm sure it'll all become more clear in a few days' time...

[Deleted User]

@BertieMeetsGertie It can really go both ways, but I think in this case, the dramatic rise WELL ABOVE your coverline makes it pretty clear.  If the rise were big, but still within range of the pre-O temps, like the ladies were saying about my chart, then it can be tougher to call it.

ETA and Please, don't even worry!  O-day is great for timing!  Plus the -3 means you have two days in the FW covered.  Believe me, there are ladies here who have gotten KU with only one day like -4 timing, so please, -3,O is Great! ;)

daisy62103

@mrsdaddario Oh no, you gave in and tested! But of course you know 9dpo in the afternoon is way early! **TW** not sure this needs a tw or not?? But I have gotten a -hpt on 10dpo and + on 11, so there's definitely no reason to consider yourself out based on the - this afternoon. **END TW** How're your temps looking???

BertieMeetsGertie

@BusinessWife, thanks for all your help! You and all the other ladies are so great! So glad I found this forum!

krisnicole23

Cylce/Month: 5/5

CD/DPO: 18 CD/ ???? DPO

Timing: decent

Testing: I have no willpower.  I will be testing after the weekend.

R/R: I'm unsure of my O day.  I thought it was early because I had watery and ewcm at 8-10 CD but now today (on 18 CD) I had more watery and a ton of ewcm.  It was sorta mucous like but clear.  Good thing we BD last night just in case because I have no clue what's going on with my body.  I was really sick the past 2 weeks so unable to temp to know my O day.  I'm just going to have to wing it this month and keep all fx!

CS/Q: None tonight!

GTKY:  You are planning the perfect date with you and your DH/SO.  What do you do? Go camping and hiking.  We both love the outdoors and national parks.  

mrsdaddario

@Daisy621 I don't temp! I did for a while but I stopped because it was pointless with the PCOS. I never picked it back up when I started medicated cycles. Kind of wish I had! 

BarefootandPurple

Cylce/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 25/9

Timing: Meh. It was my first month charting so could have been better. -3,0,+1

Testing: Trying to hold out until AF is past due. But I may have to cave and take one before I leave to see my mom who lives out of state 13dpo just in case. I tell her everything, and it'd be fun to have news for her.  

R/R:I'm going to rave on you ladies. This thread was chalk full of everyone helping each other. It's so great to be a part of this community.  

CS/Q: I'm a tad confused about my chart. I'm sure it's a no brainer, but what is that large dip at 6dpo? I was looking through TCOYF and I couldn't find an answer. Any insight would be mucho appreciated. Also, super confused about the CM situation. I feel like I didn't get EW until after I ovulated. Any insights? 

GTKY:  You are planning the perfect date with you and your DH/SO.  What do you do? We are big hikers and outdoor lovers. We have a date now and then at sunset on top of a mountain on the blueridge now and then with a picnic and wine. It's such a lovely experience and my absolute favorite kind of date. 

catem07

@barefoot&amp;purple the timing of your temping was inconsistent on those days (unless you just entered the temps in later, in which case you can edit FF to make the time correct). 

saralee797-2

@BusinessWife so glad you got some answers good luck!! So awesome you DH is being so supportive. 

BarefootandPurple

@yaeger16 ahh. I bet that's it. It was a weekend with European jetlag, which accounts for the many days of inconsistent wake times. That's it. Setting an alarm from now on. Thanks for the insight! 

belocin

Sitting here waiting for my sunless tanner to dry and reading through cheering all you ladies on then realized I never posted today! Late to the party but Saturday isn't over for another 90 minutes so I'm going in!

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 20/3 

Timing: -1, +2

Testing: I've got loads of time

R/R: FF is toying with me. With yesterday's temp, it gave me CH on CD16 yet with today's, it moved me to CD17. Timing was better for CD16 but can't do much about it now. 

CS/Q: Not today!

GTKY:  You are planning the perfect date with you and your DH/SO.  What do you do? Go explore a new part of town, find a bar and share a flight or two!

[Deleted User]

@belocin. Sounds like thevstory of our lives around here! Lol. Fx for good timing regardless!

@Barefoot&Purple aaaaand TB ate my response!  Argh!!!

BarefootandPurple

@BusinessWife Gaaaahhh sad!!! No worries thanks anyway!
