Month/Cycle: 15/17

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: -4, O

Testing: no plans, see below

R/R/CS: I started spotting yesterday evening. It seems to have subsided for now, but I have a feeling I'm out and this is just a very unusual cycle (although concerning) because of the very short LP. Just waiting for AF now and praying that she doesn't show up.

GTKY:  100% summer, followed by spring. I don't like the cold, and fall reminds me that it's going to be winter soon.

GrabberBlue2010

Ok so I am hoping to not post and then ghost today. But I think work is going to be insane again today so my bump time will be limited.

Month/Cycle: 29 / 23

CD/DPO: 53 / 13 (maybe)

Timing: at the moment -3

Testing: I tested again last night with a bfn. Obvi. I am going to hang around with my current temps and see what happens before I tweak my chart and test later. Also I figured if O date was correct as it is now, I should (maybe) be able to pull a bfp if i was KU right? BSC in the house) Which you will see below.

R/R/CS: Can I just reiterate that it is Monday. And with no time off over the weekend so I am extra tired today. And plusalso there was a SpaceX launch last night and they landed the booster. The sonic boom woke us up out of a dead sleep (did not know that it would make a boom and honestly forgot about the launch) so my dog went nuts growling. DH was up with his AR scouting the house. Great big ole production at 12:45am. Which leads me to 

CS/Q: Had a nice increase this morning. Thankfully I went right back to sleep after the commotion last night so I got a good solid 5 hours of sleep before temping. Since I threw out those temps on CD 47 and 48 so I could keep CH, that is why I am questioning all timing and DPO's. I am going to monitor it for another day or two before using those temps and possibly having my CH moved.

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why.
I love fall. Which is funny because growing up in Florida there is no change of seasons here. But I always loved growing up that when the end of October/beginning of November rolled around, my mom would start decorating for the season. We lived with my grandma and she would bake all kinds of season appropriate foods, from scratch. The whole mood changed in the house and it was just so comforting. it was not always ideal growing up and often kinda sucked. BUT it seemed like everyone got a long and loved one another more during this time of the year.
But now as an adult, lets be real.... Pumpkin everything season.

hartmich

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 27/8

Timing: -4, -1, +1

Testing: Friday! Holding out with several other bumpers

R/R/CS: So. Many. Rants. First, my dog was up all night on and off hacking and swallowing loudly and making tons of noise. He does this every once in a blue moon and we think it's some sort of allergy. And no one gets any sleep as he crawls all over us because he's uncomfortable. Second, I had two vivid dreams - the first was that when my alarm went off, I simply decided I was NOT getting up today and would sleep in... obviusly that didn't happen. And the second dream was 3 different BFPs.  Come on, brain. Don't do this to me now. 

CS/Q: Due to the aforementioned restless night, I have a crazy high temp today. I also got up 200 times to pee (another rant?) My chart is pretty messy, as I expected it would be because I rarely sleep for solid blocks of time.

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why.

Summer! I'm a beach person. My parents had me on the beach when I was 5 weeks and I've loved it ever since. 

But like @GrabberBlue2010, Fall is a clooooseeee second because yes, pumpkin.

@momtoleo FX that the spotting doesn't continue!

Not much time to post today, busy day!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 25/8

Timing: okay: -4,-1,O

Testing: I don't know if I'll make it past 10dpo

R/R/CS: temp still up this morning. Last cycle my post-O temp didn't get as high as it is now. I know that could really mean nothing but still hoping it is a good sign 

CS/Q: N/A

GTKY: What is your favorite season of the year and why?

My favorite season is definitely fall. Mainly because I love the cooler temps. I also prefer the fall fashion- sweaters, boots and scarves. 

Edit because the bump ate half my post 

NamelessAria

Month/Cycle: 11/10

CD/DPO: 35

Timing: -4, -1

Testing: Probably 8DPO till 12DPO then waiting for AF. 

R/R/CS: I'm not 100% I belong here just yet since I haven't gotten 3 days of temps to confirm O but I'm pretty sure I O'd yesterday. I got a nice (large!) temp spike this morning and my CM has gone creamy which is usually a pretty accurate sign for me. Now I just have to overcome my phone anxiety to call my RE's office and set up my 7DPO blood work for next week.

CS/Q: 

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why. Definitely the fall. Summer is a little too hot for me. I just don't really enjoy being outside when it's 100. And the bugs. So many bags! Plus I'm generally not happy with my body right now so I'm not crazy about all the shorts and what have you. Spring has lovely weather but I get really bad Spring allergies. Winter is just too freaking cold. I love the fall weather and I love all the changing leaves and such.

**TW: loss**

I'm wondering if fall is going to be the same for me next year since, and I just realized this, now thinking of fall makes me think of being pregnant and loss.

KirstinH88

Month/Cycle: 9/8 (4/4 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 26/8

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, O, +1 

Testing: 12 DPO (July 22)

R/R/CS: I had a dream that I caved and tested. I can't remember if it was a BFP or BFN, but when I woke up I felt extremely guilty for testing early instead of waiting for Friday to test with @Hartmich, @Yaeger07, @MandyBeeSLP, and @KyCade3013. Then I remembered....

CS/Q: Nothing today.

GTKY: What is your favorite season of the year and why?

I love Summer. I like to be warm (hot) and I like that it stays sunny longer. Spring is a close 2nd. Followed by Fall (I don't like pumpkin flavored things) and then Winter. I actually get somewhat depressed in the Winter. There's only like 3 hours of sunlight (yes, exaggeration) and its cold and rainy. Luckily, I don't live where it snows. I couldn't handle it.

Ekzerr

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 21/6

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, O, +1, +2

Testing: If AF is late (if I can wait that long)

R/R: I have my statistics midterm this week and I'm generally not very good at math, feeling pretty good so far in the course though so fx!

CS/Q: none 

GTKY: Fall! Love everything about it from pumpkin everything to the sunny crisp colourful mornings that lead to hot hot afternoons

thank you @beary67

Monday has got me like...

momtoleo

@hartmich Sorry about your pup! Does he lick a lot? I know my pup has allergies and he is constantly licking because he's itchy. Then, every once in a while, he hocks up the most enormous hairball I've ever seen. But, the episodes sound exactly like what you're describing. We've been working on relieving the itch and he hasn't had a hairball in a while. 

linzrunz

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 19/3

Timing: -3, 0

Testing: Starting 10 dpo

R/R/CS: Took a bit of a break from here in the past week. It was a really bad month for me as far as my depression goes, but I'm finally starting to feel like myself again. H and I almost missed the FW because of it, but we got decent timing considering. I O'ed a little earlier than normal. Usually I'm at CD18. Last month was CD17, and this month was CD16. I am ok with that!

CS/Q: nope. 

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why.

Summer for the hot weather, sunshine, and lake time. Fall for the boots, scarves, crunchy leaves, and pumpkin everything.

GrabberBlue2010

@beary67 - All I can say is thank you. I felt pretty flushed for a minute.


And I love your sloth. I totally feel it should be the Mascot for Monday's. 

GrabberBlue2010

@linzrunz - Glad to see you back, love! I am sorry you have had a rough month. Yay for feeling better!! lots and lots of HUGS!

catem07

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 26/8

Timing: -5, -4, -3, 0, +1

Testing: Friday

R/R: The BSC is getting strong over here. I had a temp dip this morning, on 8DPO, after a few days of increases...

CS/Q: What tests do you use? I see lots of criticism of the curved handle FRER. What else is out there that's sensitive and reliable?

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why.
I like the fall, because I like the crisp coolness. It's easy to dress for fall weather. 

Taylor72

@hartmich have you tried an OTC allergy pill for your pup?  our vet told us a generic allergy pill would help our dog out and it really did!  

@linzrunz, glad you are getting back to feeling like yourself! fx for your timing being successful this month!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 16/0

Timing: -1

Testing: going to try and hold out for AF

R/R/CS: this month has been an emotional roller coaster for me. DH decided a little more than a week ago that he wasn't ready to start trying, so therefore we were benched.  DH then decides on Friday that he just had a minor freak out and in fact IS ready to start trying and heck, why not start right now.  Cue the serious conversation about this being totally emotional for me and he can't keep flipping back and fourth.  We let it lie for the night and the next day (Saturday) and then had a good conversation on Sunday about not taking the fun out of practicing.  I think today is O day but I'm not stressing too much this month, just happy that DH is back on board the baby train.

CS/Q:  none

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why.  Fall.  I love the cool crisp air in the morning, the color of the leaves changing, it isn't blazing hot and you can actually enjoy a day outside without sweating to death.  Windows open and all of the "scents" of fall.  OHHH I'm looking forward to it already!

tamalahoops

Month/Cycle: 15/15

CD/DPO: 26/12 dpiui

Timing: iui plus some extra

Testing: Thursday. My will power is really being tested but I'm terrified that I will get a false positive from my trigger.

R/R/CS: I am getting typical period cramps so I'm pretty confident I will get my period tomorrow or Wednesday. Such a bummer.

CS/Q: 

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why.

FALL. I have already started yelling about fall coming and how excited I am about it. Cool weather, sweaters, scarves, soup. Can't freaking wait.

hezzer78

@momtoleo FX for you the spotting ends soon!

 

@KirstinH88 I didn’t realize so many of us were testing this Friday! I am too – FX our weekly grad thread is full!

 

@linzrunz Welcome back – glad you’re feeling better!

 

Month/Cycle: 5/4

 

CD/DPO: 30/6

 

Timing: -3, -2, +1

 

Testing: Not til Friday – then every other day til AF or BFP.

 

R/R/CS: Our friends from Denmark came yesterday – so we spent the day doing things their kids would like. Ended up at chuck e cheese for dinner – holy cow that was a madhouse. I haven’t been since I was a kid. I played the crap out of some skeeball though.

 

Plans today are to maybe take them to the beach and to ride some of the amusement park rides they have there. We will see.

 

I had a dream I was drowning – I never dream that. I never have falling dreams either. Luckily I woke myself up before I actually “died” in my dream, but it was pretty weird.

 

CS/Q:  Not sure if this question belongs here or not, but DH and I are thinking of taking a vacation for Thanksgiving. Good deals on Hong Kong – anyone been there before? @krys I know you go to Asia but I’m not sure where…?

 

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why.

Summer. No work, warm temps, long days.. I love everything about it.

 

MandyBeeSLP

@Ekzerr Good luck on your statistics exam! Statistics was one of my worst classes in college because, math. It's kind of a joke because I use it almost every day in my job now. What are you going to school for? 

Month/Cycle: 14/15

CD/DPO: 23/9

Timing: -3, -2, +1

Testing: July 22nd, 13 DPO 

R/R/CS: Had a nice relaxing 3-day weekend with DH. He gets another one next weekend because Friday is our anniversary!  I also made myself a latte on our little home machine to give me a reason to get out of bed this morning. Mmmmm espresso. 


*I did not make a pretty rosetta on my latte. Our machine doesn't steam the milk adequately for art. 

CS/Q: So my temp dropped yesterday, and again today. Typically, I start my period the day after my big temp drop but this would be a pretty early period for me (not unheard of though). I also don't feel like I'm going to start my period so in true SS fashion I am holding on to the hope that it's an implantation dip that will be confirmed after the fact. 
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5c6f76

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why.
Fall. I love the perfect weather, the fashion, the changing leaves, bonfires, hayrides, apples, pumpkins, Corn mazes, Halloween. 

PepperAT

Month/Cycle: 12/12

CD/DPO: 21/6

Timing: -3 -2 -1 +1

Testing: hell-to-the-no

R/R/CS: First day back at work today after week long holidays, I really don't want to go! This last week was so nice and relaxing, I don't want it to end. TTC-related: SS has begun. That is all. I have not resorted to googling anything just yet.

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why.
Summer!! I love the heat and all the activities that go along with it. Fall is a runner up because it is just beautiful, but Summer!!

sevenn

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 33/11

Timing: -2, -1

Testing: BFN 9-11 dpo

R/R/CS: had temp go up today but not excited anymore. In a way I feel like seeing the BFNs help me get a reality check and actually decrease the BSC and then if something changes it will be a real surprise. My boobs have killed me like no other this cycle. 

CS/Q: I wish. 

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why. Absolutely fall- nothing beats the cool dry weather, long sleeve tshirts and the trees! 

PurpleRains

Month/Cycle: 7 / 7 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 20 / 2

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

Testing: Not until AF is late

R/R/CS: Y’ALL!  I’m FINALLY back to the TWW after last cycle was anovulatory!  I’m so stinking happy!  I used OPKs this month for the first time, assuming that I wasn’t ever going to turn one (just because my luck with temping and pretty much everything else) but it worked and, like I said, I’m just happy to be here with you ladies.  Get my blood drawn tomorrow for progesterone levels so I have a good 24 hours of needle anxiety to think about!

CS/Q:

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why.  We actually got a spring this year down in the Gulf Coast and it was amazing!  Spring is usually a week, maybe three before it’s just blazing hot.  I also enjoy the fall because football and the beaches are more locals only.

@momtoleo FX for that spotting to stop!
@Ekzerr GL with your midterm!
@linzrunz I’m glad you’re feeling better, dear and oh hells yes to boots and scarves!
@BusinessWife Jesus take the ticker wheel…
@hezzer78 Skeeball is life!

Month/Cycle: 6/6?

CD/DPO:25/9

Timing: -4 and +1

Testing: tired of being let down every month. not testing until I am late (Like 2 seconds after midnight the 25th probably if I'm honest)

R/R/CS: I decided to cut my hair this weekend. From pretty much my butt to above my shoulders. I cannot pull off short hair. This is not the time to figure that out. I have w wedding and my high school reunion coming up.

CS/Q:Not yet but coming I'm sure. Thank to some great advice I am taking more charge of TTC. I should be receiving my Amazon shipment of OPK's and my new thermometer! Thanks! @nwegman7878

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why.

- I love fall!!! I love the smell of it and the colors and the temperature, The only thing i don't like about it is the fact that winter is close

PurpleRains

@BusinessWife I just spit my breakfast cranberries all over my desk - that meme! 

Ekzerr

@MandyBeeSLP
thank you! I'm on the waiting list to start nursing school next August (2017) and the college has a program called recognition of prior learning where there are a few select classes you can take while waiting so that when in nursing school you don't have to take them, which is awesome for so many reasons! I took stats during my first degree but they only recognize it if you've taken in within 9 years of the start date of nursing school and it will be 11 years when I start so I have to retake it 

@ahrains thank you so much!!

ETA: spelling

well yesterday I got the faintest bfp on a dollar store test, I was so excited.. Then I tested again this morning with FMU and no line :-( also I'm noW getting brown spotting so I'm thinking AF is on her way.   

Fav season is fall! When I lived in Chicago it was spring though because all of the cherry blossom trees would bloom

hartmich

@mpie72 I'm gonna have to look into that! Thank you! 

@momtoleo He does lick a lot! What have you been doing to provide relief? 

momtoleo

@hartmich We've found that benadryl works well (1 tablet per 20 lbs of his weight) and rinsing him off with water (no shampoo) every once in a while. Not enough to dry out his skin though. His isn't food allergies but rather environmental...grass, which is SUCH a pain. He was on Apoquel for a bit, but it was so expensive and I read some not great things about it, so I stopped that. I also started brushing him more often. Figured that if I could get more hair off, it was less likely to be ingested. Honestly, he still licks sometimes but he's learning to stop when I yell his name.

HLD3194

Month/Cycle: 5/4 ttcal (18/13 total)

CD/DPO: 21/4

Timing: -5, -3 & +1

Testing: No plans this cycle

R/R/CS: Officially off the benched wagon. I have also made the decision that if we are not KUed by year end I am going to consult with a Dr about what's going on. This decision has actually eased my mind more than I thought possible.

CS/Q: Nada

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why. FALL!!!! I love everything pumpkin and the leaves and boots and leggings and sweaters! Halloween has always been my favorite holiday.

BecauseLove

Month/Cycle: 23/13

CD/DPO: 21/5 

Timing: IUI so hopefully great timing! 

Testing: Tested out trigger. 

R/R/CS: Great and Busy weekend - lots of fun outside! I could use a nap though. TWW's suck! I am not patient enough. 

CS/Q:

• Does anyone else have a lot of wet discharge this time in their cycle? I don't really track my CM so always seems like a confusing thing to me. 
• Does anyone read/follow any fertility blogs? 

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why. Summer is awesome but always so busy...so I am going to go with fall...kinda calm and before the snow comes.

rainbowturtles

Hi everyone! Well *TMI?* it was red when I wiped this morning so I'm going to assume spotting for today and then AF tomorrow, so I think I'll head over to WTO now. I just wanted to thank everyone for being so welcoming and supportive for my first *official* TWW after loss My fingers are crossed like crazy for everyone! (and because I'm hypermobile I can cross all of them at the same time haha!)

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 45/11

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

Testing: Before Thursday when I leave for a bach party weekend...

R/R/CS: I had a BFP dream... such a tease!!! @hartmich looking at you!

As I mentioned yesterday, I just feel totally out  - no different than any other month. It just sucks because our timing was great. I also ordered an adorable onsie to tell DH which arrived today. I guess that is getting stashed in my closet  And if AF arrives on Thursday... what better timing to have your period than at a beach bachelorette party? No worse time to be in a bathing suit amirite? lol Sorry for being such a downer guys.

CS/Q: 

GTKY:  What is your favorite season of the year and why. I love summers at the shore but weather wise definitely the fall. Plus, I love fall sports! 

@GrabberBlue2010 Hope you get some serious rest soon!
@TheMrs FX for you!
@NamelessAria You got this!! 
@hezzer78 Ugh I am right there with you with the weird dreams. I would die for a sleep-through-the-night-dreamless sleep right now.
@ahrains Nice to see you!

KirstinH88

@momtoleo Fx your spotting goes away. I'm sure its frustrating to have short LPs.

@grabberblue2010 Yikes. That chart looks rough. I'm not sure. I hate discarding temps just for the joy of discarding them and making CH where they normally wouldn't be. With those discarded temps in there, maybe you O'd on CD 48?

@NamelessAria Fx that your temps keep climbing and you get CHs 

@Ekzerr Fx for your midterm!

@linzrunz Yay! You're in the TWW!

@yaeger07 The BSC is crazy over here too. I'm definitely SS-ing and I'm not sure if I'm making these symptoms up in my head or if they are legit symptoms. Sigh....

@hezzer78 Join the club! Fx for all of us! I'm hoping this will be the longest grad thread ever!

@MandyBeeSLP Hopefully your temps will start climbing again! I need all of my testing buddies on Friday to get good news!

@ahrains So glad to see you in the TWW!

BertieMeetsGertie

Well, CD1 for me today so I'm headed over to WTO. I'm going to continue lurking because I've got my FX for all of you ladies!

BecauseLove

momtoleo Maybe implementation bleeding? I hear ya about the cold. 
GrabberBlue2010 Are you on any fertility meds? I hear ya about being tired. Hopefully your busy day will keep your distracted from being tired. 
hartmich Sounds like a lot of us didn't get a ton of sleep last night. I hope your dog is ok!
TheMrs Hopefully your day goes by fast...helps with the TWW.  
NamelessAria  Fall rocks! 
Ekzerr Good luck on the exam! 
beary67  Love!  
linzrunz I hope the break helped! Sometimes we just need time to regroup.
yaeger07 I live in the middle of nowhere...so I pretty much buy cheapies from amazon. and then when we get closer buy out the local drug store of whatever expensive tests they have on the shelves. 
mpie72 Hard to be on the hubbie rollercoaster of what they are wanting. I hope you guys keep having the fun in the practicing.
tamalahoops How many IUI's have you had? FX for you! 
hezzer78 your day with the visiting kids sounds awesome!
MandyBeeSLP Are you guys doing anything special for your anniversary? 
PepperAT We should all have an extra day off this week I think!
sevenn Fall trees are awesome! 
ahrains Being anovulatory sucks! Glad your back at it this cycle! FX to you!
bswishe4 Maybe it will just take a few days to get use to the new haircut? 
crazypt2285 Hopefully you will have some good news
BertieMeetsGertie Sorry  

tamalahoops

@BecauseLove this is my first.

BecauseLove

tamalahoops  I will hope you are once and done! I am on my 2nd.  

tamalahoops

@BecauseLove fingers crossed it's your 2nd and last!

bswishe4

 @BecauseLove in answer to your question. Yes it like Niagra falls today! I am bad at tracking that stuff so I can't remember if it is normally like this in my cycle or not.  Also thanks for the optimism with my hair lol I don't know that a couple days will do it but maybe in a month or so. The cut really is cute my face is just way too chubby for it lol. And I don't see that changing any time soon.
