Testing: I think that would be overkill at this point.
R/R: In 2013 I broke (shattered) my ankle & both bones in my left leg. Last night I rolled said ankle. It’s all swollen & it hurts & that
makes me grumpy.
CS/Q: Big temp drop this morning & some spotting. I think it is only a
matter of time. I have 2 questions
though…
I saw that it is recommended we wait on the
WTO until 3 DPO. Is there a suggestion for when to go over to WTO? A period is when a pad or tampon gets full –
so that’s CD 1 & you move over immediately?
My doctor wants to do an HSG in
September because that will be 18 months off BC. I have been reading up on
them, but just want people’s advice over here.
Are you benched for the entire cycle of the HSG? I’ve seen people say
their doctor told them to wait an entire cycle to TTC, & I have seen “no
restrictions”. Anyone had one? How long
were you benched?
GTKY: What's a
random quirk you have? I don’t own a pen that I haven’t accidentally
snapped or chewed the clip off. I am a
picker (scabs, corners of papers, acne, & anything else that needs picked).
@Westy99 An hsg shouldn't bench you for a cycle, as long as it's not around the time of O. In fact, my doctor told me to make sure we DID have sex afterwards. This is because if you did have any small blockages that the hsg could have cleared, it "increases your odds". Which basically just means, okay, your tubes were blocked before, now their not, now the sperm actually has a chance to get to them. If you do have a blockage it doesn't necessarily clear it though. In my experience, my hsg was pretty painful, and I needed a few days recuperation before I could even begin to imagine having sex. It also wasn't an issue for us though, as I don't ovulate on my own so I wasn't missing the window. As far as heading over to WTO, that's a personal preference. Go whenever you feel you are out. Some ladies move over there when they start spotting, others when AF is full blown CD 1.
Month/Cycle: 11/8
CD/DPO: 18/ 3dpt, 2dpiui, 1dpo
Timing: -4, IUI on -1, O
Testing: Not getting the shaky, must test now feeling yet. Hoping to hold out until AT LEAST 10dpiui, 11dpt.
R/R: Yesterday I was feeling pretty uncomfortable in the cervix/ovary area. I even reached out to my doctor. They assured me it sounded like O pains, and to keep an eye on it. MH and I HIO last night since I had suspected the pain was O, and it was also doctor's orders, and it didn't hurt in the slightest. I woke up this morning completely fine.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I tend to break out in song whenever a song lyric pops into my head. Usually only when I'm at home, or it's just MH and I lol.
@Westy99 I have no experience with HSGs, but as far as moving back to WTO, we usually wait until it's CD1 (so first day of full bleeding). Also the reason most of us wait 3 days to move from WTO to the TWW is because it takes three days of sustained temp rise for FF to confirm O. Sometimes well move over early if we're confident enough in it. But it's almost a habit for me now. I just wait until day 3 to head over.
Month/Cycle: (7/5) 1/1 TTCAL
CD/DPO: 31/7
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1, +1
Testing: Sunday 10dpo at the earliest
R/R: I have my 7dpo bloodwork today to check and see if my progesterone is looking normal. I'm freaking terrified. I'm also just generally worried they aren't going to get the results back to me in time even though I'm literally going as soon as they open!
CS/Q: None
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? When I eat pasta, I eat everything in the pasta (meat, veggies, etc) before I will touch a noodle.
@Westy99 I always move to WTO on CD 1. I was supposed to have a HSG this cycle (it was postponed) and was told there was no need to abstain because they would make sure I had not ovulated before performing the procedure. I did ovulate before which is why it was postponed. I think some women here have said they were given the instruction to abstain before hand so I would check with your doctor's office.
Month/Cycle:4
CD/DPO:20/13??
Timing: fine.
Testing: I might tomorrow just to start the wknd with a little disappointment
R/R: I am pretty confident AF is coming any day but if its today it effs up my whole weekend. I will need to go for CD 3 blood work which will be Saturday and I am away all weekend. I really need it to hold off until Saturday!
CS/Q: nah.
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I put my finger on my nose when trying to focus or thinking hard. Most of the time I don't even notice I'm doing it.
Here's a GG gif for fun
History and blog link in spoiler
2016 - dx with super low ovarian reserve; failed cycle with clomid, failed IUI, 2017 - egg retrieval #1 - 3 eggs, 0 embryos appropriate for transfer; ER #2 2 eggs, 0 embryos on day 3; ER #3 1 egg 0 embryos moved to donor egg in summer 2017; 35 eggs retrieved; 19 fertilized; 9 total embryos Fresh transfer Dec 2017= BFP! baby boy born 8/22/18
May 2019 - surprise natural pregnancy ended in MC Nov 2019 FET; MC at 9 weeks May 2020 FET; BFN July 2020 FET; CP treated with methotrexate Oct 2020 BFP!
Testing: Still not feeling the urge to test so FX I can hold out until Sunday at least.
R/R: Worried that I'm already out this cycle. No real reason why. But my coworker's baby shower is two weeks from tomorrow and his wife is due like 2 weeks before I would've been due if I hadn't MC. So I'm just preparing myself for a rough day if I'm not KU this cycle. She unexpectedly stopped by the office a couple weeks ago and all i could think was "that's what I should look like right now". I pretty much lost it. Luckily my office is tucked away in a corner so i could cry it out and no one could see. *sigh*
CS/Q: none today
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I do graphic design/page layout all day, so everyone has told me that when i'm super focused, my head will tilt back and forth. I honestly don't even notice it!
@mrsdaddario you and MH have the same quirk lol. it'll be silent and then suddenly from the bathroom i'll hear him belting out a song.
@Westy99 i have no experience with HSG, and it looks like PP answered your WTO/TWW question. I'm a picker too though! Mostly my fingers. I go through phases where it's just crazy and out of control. I try and keep my nails painted and that tends to help. MH hates it so much. He'll hear me doing it and just reach over and slap my hand.

@Westy99 - sorry about your ankle! I have no experience with hsg and I'm new here so can't really help with the rest!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 17/4
Timing: everyday but one
Testing: not til 10DPO
R/R: *TW* My dad's third wife is 34, the same age as my husband, and they just had their baby boy (aka my brother, so weird!) but he is now asking when we will be having a baby so my "brother" with have friends to play with! WTF! (Needless to say the relationship is a distant and strained one, and thank goodness they live across the country from us!)
CS/Q: I have been having AF like cramps worse that I usually get during AF and I never cramp before CD26-27 so not sure what's going on there but I woke up this morning feeling like I've been kicked right in the uterus.
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I have to have numbers set to increments of 5, such as volume on the tv/radio, and the thermostats in my house. Drives DH crazy but he goes along with it if I'm around.
Me: 28 DH:33 Dating: Sept 2009 Married: April 2014 NTNP/TTC Since Dec 2015
Cycle 10 or 11 CD/DPO 15/3 Timing -4, -3, -2, O, +1, +2
Testing probably 10DPO since I have a doctor's apt that evening...
RR got my crosshairs with a fallback rise this morning. Already started doing overlays lol. Gotta try not to think too much about ttc this tww and just get a lot of shh Done!
GTKY hmm... this is a tough one, but if I see something open, I have to close it. I never thought about it before, I am an artsy type not not super tidy or ocd generally speaking, but then I was at a friend's house and I don't know what we were doing, but literally EVERY kitchen cabinet was just hanging out, wide open! I was like wth? So I always make a point if I open something to just take a second and clos4 it, cos its really not that hard. Not sure if that's too quirky tho! Lol
I have to have the closet door closed all the way before we go to bed, too. If it's cracked it will bug me and I have to get up and close it!
@Westy99. There was a "limbo" thread briefly for ladies who were still technically tww but spotting and/or tested neg and were pretty sure they were out, but I don't think it took. I would say do what you feel! Hang out here, or switch over to wto, or skirt/lurk both threads, or even take a bump-break for a day or two (which is sometimes what I do cos I'm so depressed/disappointed) There's also the other daily threads, or feel free to start your own GTKY thread or whatever you feel like, if you really just feel like you dont fit anywhere until CD1. Completely your personal preference, what feels right for you! <3
R/R: *TW* One of my best friends and I have really similar cycles. She was 10dpo today while I'm 12dpo. She just texted me that she got a bfp (actually she sent me pictures of all 3 different tests she took), and I'm thrilled for her but also just super bummer I'm still pulling negatives. *end TW*
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I absolutely detest odd numbers!
Baby #1: Nixson Thomas - Born 3/11/14 @ 4:32pm, 7lbs 10oz, 21.5"
Baby #2: Emma Haley - Born 7/2/15 @ 7:09am, 7lbs 9 oz, 21"
Baby #3: TTC (hoping for a due date of spring / summer 2017)
Testing: I'm going to try to hold out until 14 DPO
R/R:
CS/Q: My boobs have been tender and getting worse since the day before O. I don't think it's a pregnancy symptom because it's way too early for that, but I don't know what's going on. *TW* This is my first cycle since my miscarriage, so I don't know if it might have something to do with that?
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? You will see me pull my hair up into 14 different styles all day long. Once I've piled into a bun on top of my head at work,.you should leave me alone, I'm busy. Someone pointed this out to me once and I realized how often I do it.
Testing: I'm hoping to wait til CD30 (if there is one) and plus it's our anniversary!
R/R: slightest regret in agreeing to move into MILs tiny apartment to save money while DH gets settled into his new job. It looks like a garage sale in the living/dining room since MIL cleared out her bedroom so we could live here. She went to get a trash bag under the sink to start packing up extra hangers and noticed a drip so tried to tighten the pipe which then completely burst under kitchen sink and I ended up taking turns with her holding a trash bag under while we waited for the emergency plumber to get here. All she kept saying was "my poor son" since DH wasn't able to shower when he planned.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I have to eat my popcorn with the lights on (even if we're watching a movie) because I am very selective and eat one kernel at a time!
@AliciaGoose Gah, I'm keeping all my fingers crossed for a great progesterone level! And also, that those f-er's get the results back to you in a timely fashion.
@tripledaggerWed95976 Your GTKY answer made me chuckle!! I feel like I do that too!! Only it happens when I'm really excited.
@GiddyUp82 What's the age difference between you and your new brother?! Obviously quite a bit, but damnnnnnn! #awkward
@erinh2005 Did that happen this morning?! I can't imagine living with my MIL. I wouldn't. I would live in a storage shed outside if I had to lol. You're husband is a lucky man to have you!
R/R: YOU GUYS. My mom and sister were in a wicked awful car accident Tuesday afternoon. My sister called me at work freaking the eff out and screaming about an ambulance and a bad car accident. I work 45 minutes from where I assumed they were so I just got in my car and started driving and I didn't know if they were alive or dead. Scariest drive of my life. They're alive, just broken.
And then mom's new/not new boyfriend tried to convince us to go home because we weren't "needed there" and she could take care of herself but you guys she was SO scared and cying and begging for pain medication and I literally almost popped him one because he's an idiot. Mom says he doesn't understand the bond we have as a family because he doesn't have kids but I literally told him he didn't have to understand what it means to be a family but he sure as hell has to respect the fact that we are one and we're all staying. And then he tried to take my name off the emergency contact list for my mother. And then I literally almost popped him one but I'm the calm, rational one.
And then my other sister's car got towed while we were at the hospital. And then my brother got t-boned on the way to the hospital (he's okay). And then someone jacked my phone while I was with my mom in xray. When it rains, it pours my friends.
CS/Q: FF claims I haven't o'd yet but I've been consistent at the 1st of the month, and I know you're regular until you're not but i screwed up my temping while I was on vacation so I'm going with the 1st so I can hang out with you ladies.
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? 90% of the time the only thing that can calm me down when I'm starting to have a panic attack or freak out is repeating 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 7, 9, 7, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 over and over in my head. I don't even know why but it works.
Timing: -5, -2, +1 (we had company on -1 and 0, of course! ugh)
Testing: None yet, but I have my annual physical today so I'm going to ask my doctor to test my progesterone. My last cycle's luteal phase was only 6 days, so I'm worried my progesterone is too low to sustain a pregnancy.
R/R:
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have?
When I'm puzzling through a problem at work, I like to cut the split ends out of my hair at my desk. It gives me something to do while thinking. DH thinks it's super weird.
@mrsdee15 I do that too. I'm a very gifted choreographer in my head.

Testing: waiting...impatiently...last month AF came before I even had the chance to test and I have a gut feeling it's about to happen again...
R/R: Well, just mostly fighting the urge to test unnecessarily. Tomorrow's my SIL's birthday, so I'm sure the weekend will be spent with family...I just wish I knew because I hate last minute things, which is kind of how they roll. My stress levels regarding TTC when around my MIL and SIL go up big time, which is a rant for another day (I'll keep it in my back pocket one of these days for TW Tuesday). But the point is I'm dreading possibly being on CD1 and having to deal with that. As I said the other day, I'm fantastic about worrying about what hasn't even happened. I'll be treating myself to a Target shopping spree tomorrow morning...I know it's weird but I love shopping for school/classroom supplies and with the new year approaching, I'm pretty excited to make one last shopping trip for the summer.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I feel like I'm full of them and just can't think of anything because I have become so accustomed to my own quirkiness. But I do tuck my hair behind my ear a lot when I'm nervous. And along the lines of what @BusinessWife said, I am really picky about things being in their place before I leave a room or head to sleep for the night (doors, chairs being tucked in, thermostat being just right, lights being off where needed, etc.).
@Westy99 ouch. I hope your ankle heals quickly! @jatwal128 I would hide in my office, too. I'm sorry you're having a rough day. @erinh2005 I commend you for living with your MIL. DH has suggested doing this in the near future because we are hoping to move/buy a house but the timing may not work out perfectly with our current renting arrangement. I just don't think I can bring myself to do it. @swanbrooner so sorry to hear that. I'm sure it's little consolation, but your gif made me truly laugh out loud. @Dilynne that sounds horrifying. I hope everyone is healed and healthy soon.
@mrsdaddario Thanks for the info on HSG. My Dr. mentioned it & said that we’d
discuss further at our September appointment.
I’m sure she’ll give us more info on it at that time. Mostly, I was hoping to hear that I wouldn’t
be benched for an entire cycle. This
ridiculous part of me is holding onto hope that I’m not out yet, because it isn’t
period-like yet.
@laurad75 keep us info’d when the time comes for
hsg. & FX for you tomorrow.
@jatwal128 MH hates the picking also… mostly because it
isn’t limited to my body. Haha!
@giddyup82 & @magnolia131 Thanks! I have it propped up in a chair beside my
desk. There is enough metal equipment in there holding it all in place that I’m
sure it didn’t do real damage. Just one
more thing… ya know?
PS- @giddyup82 I always wondered what it would be like if
my parents had another baby, bc I’m the youngest. Now that we’re TTC – I feel like it would be
super awk.
@businesswife I would totally fall in the limbo
thread! My body won’t make up its mind
about what it wants to do. TMI-
spotting, but only when I wipe. Thank
you for the advice! Also- my house would
drive you crazy. I am a messy person in
general, but I never close anything! Cupboards,
dresser drawers, & closets are always hanging open. I can’t even manage to close the veggie
drawers in the fridge. I forget, & then try to close the fridge and there’s
a loud bang & I realize I forgot again.
Ughhh. Maybe I could hire you to
follow me around & close things?
@mamashan12 I am a hair adjuster also. I come to work every day with wet hair down. By 10am it is dry & up in a pony or a
bun- but it must change 8 times a day.
@Swanbrooner - So sorry for CD1... I'll be over there with you tomorrow! OMG your GIF!
@dilynne I’m so glad everyone is alright! That is one shittastic day.@mrsdee15 thank you!
@mrsdaddario I'm glad that you aren't in pain anymore!
@jatwal128 All the feels for you today. I have an old HS friend on my FB whose gf is pregnant. Their due date is only a week away from what mine was. It hurts a little every time they post something.
@GiddyUp82 My dad had another child when I was 13. My oldest sibling was 17. I actually told him at the time that he couldn't have anymore kids because we all didn't want one of our kids to have a younger uncle one day! Thankfully he listened. He is now married to someone around his same age and we don't have that problem anymore. Also, poor kid, I constantly forget that he's my brother. He's more like a nephew.
@AngelaPlus3 My bff and I have similar cycles too. Only a day or two apart. Its always thrilling to think that we could be pregnant at the exact same time. I'm sorry for the BFNs.
@erinh2005 As much as I love my MIL, there is no way I could move in with her. I commend you!
@dilynne T&P for your entire family! So many terrible things happening in one day is so exhausting mentally. Hopefully your mom and sister will recover soon and you all can get some rest.
Testing: I tested today.... but got NOTHING. Zip, zilch, nul... no result at all! Maybe I over-saturated the pee stick. So frustrating!! I've been feeling mild cramping almost daily since ovulation, and feeling a lot more irritable and lightheaded/dizzy than usual. I had high hopes. I work in a doctor's office and took a test from work before everyone else showed up... so I can't do it again in case I get in trouble. I'll try and wait until this weekend.
R/R: Looking forward to a nice weekend at home! I've been away the past 2 weekends so I'm looking forward to some relaxation.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I sigh a lot, like out of the blue. People think I'm sighing at them, and get offended. They'll ask me why I sighed, and I'll be like what? I don't even realize I do it most of the time.
Jenna (27), DH: Jeremy (27) Married June 2014 Baby Maya due June 2017
@Dilynne I'm sorry, I would cut a bitch. He sounds like a controlling d-bag. I'm glad your family is all recovering after all that!
Month/Cycle: 8/8(2AL)
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: -4, -3, 0
Testing: Starting to acknowledge that this may happen. Probably Tuesday, 13DPO.
R/R: Thanks @laurad75 for using a GG gif this morning. It's my favorite. I knew I hearted you! But...
I have been grumpy AF since yesterday morning. Like, I have a permanent scowl that I have to fight off to appear normal, and for no particular effing reason. If this is PMS starting already, I feel sorry for everyone around me. I can only contain the crazy for so long. Argh!
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: I really don't like clutter, although you wouldn't know it to look at my house or my desk. But the one place I can't stand it is in my car. I hate having anything but what I really use in my car. Funny enough, there can be some random crap in the trunk, but otherwise, it has to be crap-free. Oh, and when I eat a sandwich, I always eat the crust first.

@Aurora1973 I'm in the same grump boat as you today. For literally no reason. Just everyone in my office is pissing me the F off and I am trying really hard not to be a giant sarcastic smartass. I'm sure anyone who sees me today is seeing this written all over my face.
@AngelaPlus3 Oh dear, so sorry about the BFN today. like @KirstinH88 said, my bff and I are on really similar cycles, and even when we get off a bit for a cycle, we just get right synced back up again. And we live several states away! Right now we are on the same CD; I am 3DPO, she is 2DPO. It is cool that we are so close in timing, but of course there's that inevitable day when either ONE of us will get a BFP and the other will not, or we will both get our BFPs together!!! lol Which is more likely tho? I'm so sorry. Hopefully you will get yours soon, too, and you will both be preggo together anyway, ;)
@KirstinH88, @MrsDaddario@Westy99- It's so weird/awkward! 28 years between us! and 32 years between the oldest brother (so 2 years younger than his wife...) and the new brother. I just can't wrap my head around it. He (my dad) already has grandchildren that are 7, 4 & 4. Our family tree is a hot jumbled mess!
@AliciaGoose- fingers crossed your progesterone levels are great!
@erinh2005 - you have my sympathy! I can NOT imagine living with my MIL. We almost stayed with my MIL when we were in limbo between houses (just 3 nights) and I flat out refused! I stayed at my moms and DH stayed there on the nights he was working because its an hour closer to his work. I hope you can get into your own place
@Dilynne - I hope your family heals up quick! How scary! Also, your mom's BF sounds like he could use a high five (to the face...with a chair)
@laurad75@aurora1973 - I LOVE Gilmore Girls! I am so happy that its on Netflix right now!

@giddyup82 At first I thought you meant the new brother already has grandchildren and I was thinking "how is this possible?" I literally had to re-read like a million times! HAHAH!! Ya...IMO your dad is doing too much! Luckily (as you said before) they are on the other side of the country with minimal contact.
@jatwal128 - I'm sorry that you are having a bad day! Its so hard when there are mega reminders. My last pregnancy, I was due a day before my sister in law, so its hard to have a constant reminder of how old my child should be. Stay strong!

Lurking from WTO @BusinessWife I hear ya on the closing things. Hubs leaves everything open. I wake up to cabinets in the kitchen just hanging open, the medicine cabinet in the bathroom open, drives me insane. Just close things. And he's the clean one. I'm a hot mess who cannot put clothes away for her life, but like seriously close the dang closet door.
@aliciagoose good luck with ur blood work today!!! Do you have low progesterone?
TW: Loss
@tripledaggerWed95976 That's what we're trying to find out! My progesterone both times it was tested prior to my loss was incredibly low (the last one was 3.4). My doctor doesn't seem to think I have an issue (he thinks my progesterone was low because the pregnancy wasn't viable, not the other way around), so I'm trying to be hopeful that he's right!
End TW
@jatwal128 Also 7dpo with no desire to test. And I also feel like I'm out for no good reason at all. FX we're both wrong!
@mrsdaddario Thank you! They're only open for like another hour and 45 but I know sometimes the nurse does calls at the end of the day. I don't want to have to call them! Also I'm really happy to hear that your uterus/cervix are no longer being strange post IUI! FX so hard for you this cycle.
@mamashan12 So weirdly enough, I'm on my second cycle post miscarriage and one of the things I've noticed that has been different about my cycle has been that my boobs start to hurt almost immediately after O now. That never used to happen to me before either! And I've seen people on TTCAL say the same thing. So I guess it's normal? Though I can't imagine why.
@Dilynne That's so scary! I'm happy to hear everyone was ok. My best friend was in a bad car accident on Saturday and I was a nervous wreck until I knew everything was alright, aside from her being banged up and the car being totaled
@magnolia131 1. I also get extensively stressed about TTC when I'm around my MIL and SIL, and I'm spending all of Saturday with my MIL so I'm not looking foreword to that. She doesn't even know we're TTC or that we had a loss but somehow she manages to touch on every sore subject imaginable every time I see or talk to her 2. I LOVE back to school shopping so much. This year I did it on amazon because I wanted a lot of things I couldn't get at target (like posters, borders, etc) but it was nowhere near the same as being able to go to the store and pick it all out!
@Dilynne - That is terrifying! I am so sorry you had to go through that. For the record, you are a far better person than I am for not smacking the crap out of that guy; he totally deserved a beat-down.
R/R: DH and I's anniversary yesterday was awesome! DH was amazing and brought me flowers at work and then washed/cleaned my car before I got home, which was one of the best gifts he could ever give me. We had a nice dinner at a restaurant neither of us had been to and just genuinely enjoyed each other's company. Then I woke up this morning with a cold sore and then got caught in a random traffic jam that made me late for work. Oh, and spotting has commenced so AF is anticipated tomorrow. Hopefully this isn't a foreshadowing of a lame day ahead. I plan on buying a big thing of Wonfos OPKS from Amazon today for the next round.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I cannot stand people repeating themselves. Doesn't matter if it's in conversation, a song, whatever, it drives me BSC and I will literally walk away if it won't stop.
R/R: I've been kind of MIA because I took a step back this month from charting. I temped around O to confirm but was traveling during O so didn't go crazy. I needed a break. I took a pause on acupuncture too, it's just all too much right now. I've been working more on my job, which I love, and DS, who I want to remember is here now and not miss him growing up because I'm too consumed with TTC. DH just talked me off the ledge last month after AF showed and told me that a break from all things TTC might be helpful. It definitely was, I'll have to see how I feel next month if I chart all month or what.
CS/Q: nah, nothing to see
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I have to put away the sharpest utensils first when I'm emptying the dishwasher. Reasoning: what if someone breaks in and stabs me with something handy? At least all the sharp ones will be put away already. In my mind, it makes perfect sense.
Testing: I am getting impatient but honestly I think af is coming so idk if I'll even bother. I can't decide.
R/R: Yall. I'm in an EPICALLY bad mood today. So @jatwal128@Aurora1973 I completely feel ya. I wanted to choke slam someone at work earlier. Seriously. I'm not sure what it is, but NO one has their crap together and we start teaching on Monday.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I don't know how to ride a bike. Many have tried to teach me, all have failed.
Re: TWW Thursday
Month/Cycle: 8 NTNP, 2 TTC
CD/DPO: 35/9
Timing: -4, -1, 0
Testing: I think that would be overkill at this point.
R/R: In 2013 I broke (shattered) my ankle & both bones in my left leg. Last night I rolled said ankle. It’s all swollen & it hurts & that makes me grumpy.
CS/Q: Big temp drop this morning & some spotting. I think it is only a matter of time. I have 2 questions though…
I saw that it is recommended we wait on the WTO until 3 DPO. Is there a suggestion for when to go over to WTO? A period is when a pad or tampon gets full – so that’s CD 1 & you move over immediately?
My doctor wants to do an HSG in September because that will be 18 months off BC. I have been reading up on them, but just want people’s advice over here. Are you benched for the entire cycle of the HSG? I’ve seen people say their doctor told them to wait an entire cycle to TTC, & I have seen “no restrictions”. Anyone had one? How long were you benched?
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I don’t own a pen that I haven’t accidentally snapped or chewed the clip off. I am a picker (scabs, corners of papers, acne, & anything else that needs picked).
Month/Cycle: 11/8
CD/DPO: 18/ 3dpt, 2dpiui, 1dpo
Timing: -4, IUI on -1, O
Testing: Not getting the shaky, must test now feeling yet. Hoping to hold out until AT LEAST 10dpiui, 11dpt.
R/R: Yesterday I was feeling pretty uncomfortable in the cervix/ovary area. I even reached out to my doctor. They assured me it sounded like O pains, and to keep an eye on it. MH and I HIO last night since I had suspected the pain was O, and it was also doctor's orders, and it didn't hurt in the slightest. I woke up this morning completely fine.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have?
I tend to break out in song whenever a song lyric pops into my head. Usually only when I'm at home, or it's just MH and I lol.
Month/Cycle: (7/5) 1/1 TTCAL
CD/DPO: 31/7
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1, +1
Testing: Sunday 10dpo at the earliest
R/R: I have my 7dpo bloodwork today to check and see if my progesterone is looking normal. I'm freaking terrified. I'm also just generally worried they aren't going to get the results back to me in time even though I'm literally going as soon as they open!
CS/Q: None
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have?
When I eat pasta, I eat everything in the pasta (meat, veggies, etc) before I will touch a noodle.

@Westy99 I always move to WTO on CD 1. I was supposed to have a HSG this cycle (it was postponed) and was told there was no need to abstain because they would make sure I had not ovulated before performing the procedure. I did ovulate before which is why it was postponed. I think some women here have said they were given the instruction to abstain before hand so I would check with your doctor's office.
Month/Cycle:4
CD/DPO:20/13??
Timing: fine.
Testing: I might tomorrow just to start the wknd with a little disappointment
R/R: I am pretty confident AF is coming any day but if its today it effs up my whole weekend. I will need to go for CD 3 blood work which will be Saturday and I am away all weekend. I really need it to hold off until Saturday!
CS/Q: nah.
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I put my finger on my nose when trying to focus or thinking hard. Most of the time I don't even notice I'm doing it.
Here's a GG gif for fun
2017 - egg retrieval #1 - 3 eggs, 0 embryos appropriate for transfer; ER #2 2 eggs, 0 embryos on day 3; ER #3 1 egg 0 embryos

Month/Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: 17/6
Timing: -3,-2,-1
Testing: so, like a true crazy person I tested this morning lol. Negative obviously since I'm only 6DPO
R/R: I'm going to the guillermo del Torro exhibit at LACMA today, I'm so excited
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have?
When I get nervous in social situations I speak really loudly
Do you have low progesterone?
CD/DPO: 21/7
Timing: -3, -2, O
Testing: Still not feeling the urge to test so FX I can hold out until Sunday at least.
R/R: Worried that I'm already out this cycle. No real reason why. But my coworker's baby shower is two weeks from tomorrow and his wife is due like 2 weeks before I would've been due if I hadn't MC. So I'm just preparing myself for a rough day if I'm not KU this cycle. She unexpectedly stopped by the office a couple weeks ago and all i could think was "that's what I should look like right now". I pretty much lost it. Luckily my office is tucked away in a corner so i could cry it out and no one could see. *sigh*
CS/Q: none today
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I do graphic design/page layout all day, so everyone has told me that when i'm super focused, my head will tilt back and forth. I honestly don't even notice it!
@mrsdaddario you and MH have the same quirk lol. it'll be silent and then suddenly from the bathroom i'll hear him belting out a song.
@Westy99 i have no experience with HSG, and it looks like PP answered your WTO/TWW question. I'm a picker too though! Mostly my fingers. I go through phases where it's just crazy and out of control. I try and keep my nails painted and that tends to help. MH hates it so much. He'll hear me doing it and just reach over and slap my hand.

Testing: not til 10DPO
R/R: *TW* My dad's third wife is 34, the same age as my husband, and they just had their baby boy (aka my brother, so weird!) but he is now asking when we will be having a baby so my "brother" with have friends to play with! WTF! (Needless to say the relationship is a distant and strained one, and thank goodness they live across the country from us!)
CS/Q: I have been having AF like cramps worse that I usually get during AF and I never cramp before CD26-27 so not sure what's going on there but I woke up this morning feeling like I've been kicked right in the uterus.
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I have to have numbers set to increments of 5, such as volume on the tv/radio, and the thermostats in my house. Drives DH crazy but he goes along with it if I'm around.

CD/DPO 15/3
Timing -4, -3, -2, O, +1, +2
Testing probably 10DPO since I have a doctor's apt that evening...
RR got my crosshairs with a fallback rise this morning. Already started doing overlays lol. Gotta try not to think too much about ttc this tww and just get a lot of shh Done!
GTKY hmm... this is a tough one, but if I see something open, I have to close it. I never thought about it before, I am an artsy type not not super tidy or ocd generally speaking, but then I was at a friend's house and I don't know what we were doing, but literally EVERY kitchen cabinet was just hanging out, wide open! I was like wth? So I always make a point if I open something to just take a second and clos4 it, cos its really not that hard. Not sure if that's too quirky tho! Lol
I have to have the closet door closed all the way before we go to bed, too. If it's cracked it will bug me and I have to get up and close it!
@Westy99. There was a "limbo" thread briefly for ladies who were still technically tww but spotting and/or tested neg and were pretty sure they were out, but I don't think it took. I would say do what you feel! Hang out here, or switch over to wto, or skirt/lurk both threads, or even take a bump-break for a day or two (which is sometimes what I do cos I'm so depressed/disappointed) There's also the other daily threads, or feel free to start your own GTKY thread or whatever you feel like, if you really just feel like you dont fit anywhere until CD1. Completely your personal preference, what feels right for you! <3
CD/DPO: 28/12
Timing:Decent
Testing: BFN #3 this morning. Come on already AF!
R/R: *TW* One of my best friends and I have really similar cycles. She was 10dpo today while I'm 12dpo. She just texted me that she got a bfp (actually she sent me pictures of all 3 different tests she took), and I'm thrilled for her but also just super bummer I'm still pulling negatives. *end TW*
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I absolutely detest odd numbers!
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: -2,-1,0, 0+1
Testing: I'm going to try to hold out until 14 DPO
R/R:
CS/Q: My boobs have been tender and getting worse since the day before O. I don't think it's a pregnancy symptom because it's way too early for that, but I don't know what's going on. *TW* This is my first cycle since my miscarriage, so I don't know if it might have something to do with that?
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? You will see me pull my hair up into 14 different styles all day long. Once I've piled into a bun on top of my head at work,.you should leave me alone, I'm busy. Someone pointed this out to me once and I realized how often I do it.
CD/DPO: 23/7ish
Timing: -1ish
Testing: I'm hoping to wait til CD30 (if there is one) and plus it's our anniversary!
R/R: slightest regret in agreeing to move into MILs tiny apartment to save money while DH gets settled into his new job. It looks like a garage sale in the living/dining room since MIL cleared out her bedroom so we could live here. She went to get a trash bag under the sink to start packing up extra hangers and noticed a drip so tried to tighten the pipe which then completely burst under kitchen sink and I ended up taking turns with her holding a trash bag under while we waited for the emergency plumber to get here. All she kept saying was "my poor son" since DH wasn't able to shower when he planned.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have?
I have to eat my popcorn with the lights on (even if we're watching a movie) because I am very selective and eat one kernel at a time!
f-er's get the results back to you in a timely fashion.
@tripledaggerWed95976 Your GTKY answer made me chuckle!! I feel like I do that too!! Only it happens when I'm really excited.
@GiddyUp82 What's the age difference between you and your new brother?! Obviously quite a bit, but damnnnnnn! #awkward
@AngelaPlus3 Ugh, so sorry about the BFN!
@erinh2005 Did that happen this morning?! I can't imagine living with my MIL. I wouldn't. I would live in a storage shed outside if I had to lol. You're husband is a lucky man to have you!
CD/DPO: 23/4
Timing: -3, -2
Testing: No plans.
R/R: YOU GUYS. My mom and sister were in a wicked awful car accident Tuesday afternoon. My sister called me at work freaking the eff out and screaming about an ambulance and a bad car accident. I work 45 minutes from where I assumed they were so I just got in my car and started driving and I didn't know if they were alive or dead. Scariest drive of my life. They're alive, just broken.
And then mom's new/not new boyfriend tried to convince us to go home because we weren't "needed there" and she could take care of herself but you guys she was SO scared and cying and begging for pain medication and I literally almost popped him one because he's an idiot. Mom says he doesn't understand the bond we have as a family because he doesn't have kids but I literally told him he didn't have to understand what it means to be a family but he sure as hell has to respect the fact that we are one and we're all staying. And then he tried to take my name off the emergency contact list for my mother. And then I literally almost popped him one but I'm the calm, rational one.
And then my other sister's car got towed while we were at the hospital. And then my brother got t-boned on the way to the hospital (he's okay). And then someone jacked my phone while I was with my mom in xray. When it rains, it pours my friends.
CS/Q: FF claims I haven't o'd yet but I've been consistent at the 1st of the month, and I know you're regular until you're not but i screwed up my temping while I was on vacation so I'm going with the 1st so I can hang out with you ladies.
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? 90% of the time the only thing that can calm me down when I'm starting to have a panic attack or freak out is repeating 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 7, 9, 7, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 over and over in my head. I don't even know why but it works.

CS/Q: More nope.

CD/DPO: 30/9 or 10
Timing: everyday +1
Testing: waiting...impatiently...last month AF came before I even had the chance to test and I have a gut feeling it's about to happen again...
R/R: Well, just mostly fighting the urge to test unnecessarily. Tomorrow's my SIL's birthday, so I'm sure the weekend will be spent with family...I just wish I knew because I hate last minute things, which is kind of how they roll. My stress levels regarding TTC when around my MIL and SIL go up big time, which is a rant for another day (I'll keep it in my back pocket one of these days for TW Tuesday). But the point is I'm dreading possibly being on CD1 and having to deal with that. As I said the other day, I'm fantastic about worrying about what hasn't even happened. I'll be treating myself to a Target shopping spree tomorrow morning...I know it's weird but I love shopping for school/classroom supplies and with the new year approaching, I'm pretty excited to make one last shopping trip for the summer.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I feel like I'm full of them and just can't think of anything because I have become so accustomed to my own quirkiness. But I do tuck my hair behind my ear a lot when I'm nervous. And along the lines of what @BusinessWife said, I am really picky about things being in their place before I leave a room or head to sleep for the night (doors, chairs being tucked in, thermostat being just right, lights being off where needed, etc.).
@Westy99 ouch. I hope your ankle heals quickly!
@jatwal128 I would hide in my office, too. I'm sorry you're having a rough day.
@erinh2005 I commend you for living with your MIL. DH has suggested doing this in the near future because we are hoping to move/buy a house but the timing may not work out perfectly with our current renting arrangement. I just don't think I can bring myself to do it.
@swanbrooner so sorry to hear that. I'm sure it's little consolation, but your gif made me truly laugh out loud.
@Dilynne that sounds horrifying. I hope everyone is healed and healthy soon.
@mrsdee15 thank you!
@AliciaGoose thank you! Good luck w/ bloodwork!
@laurad75 keep us info’d when the time comes for hsg. & FX for you tomorrow.
@jatwal128 MH hates the picking also… mostly because it isn’t limited to my body. Haha!
@giddyup82 & @magnolia131 Thanks! I have it propped up in a chair beside my desk. There is enough metal equipment in there holding it all in place that I’m sure it didn’t do real damage. Just one more thing… ya know?
PS- @giddyup82 I always wondered what it would be like if my parents had another baby, bc I’m the youngest. Now that we’re TTC – I feel like it would be super awk.
@businesswife I would totally fall in the limbo thread! My body won’t make up its mind about what it wants to do. TMI- spotting, but only when I wipe. Thank you for the advice! Also- my house would drive you crazy. I am a messy person in general, but I never close anything! Cupboards, dresser drawers, & closets are always hanging open. I can’t even manage to close the veggie drawers in the fridge. I forget, & then try to close the fridge and there’s a loud bang & I realize I forgot again. Ughhh. Maybe I could hire you to follow me around & close things?
@mamashan12 I am a hair adjuster also. I come to work every day with wet hair down. By 10am it is dry & up in a pony or a bun- but it must change 8 times a day.
@Swanbrooner - So sorry for CD1... I'll be over there with you tomorrow! OMG your GIF!

Timing: -3, -2, +1
Testing: I tested today.... but got NOTHING. Zip, zilch, nul... no result at all! Maybe I over-saturated the pee stick. So frustrating!! I've been feeling mild cramping almost daily since ovulation, and feeling a lot more irritable and lightheaded/dizzy than usual. I had high hopes. I work in a doctor's office and took a test from work before everyone else showed up... so I can't do it again in case I get in trouble. I'll try and wait until this weekend.
R/R: Looking forward to a nice weekend at home! I've been away the past 2 weekends so I'm looking forward to some relaxation.

I have been grumpy AF since yesterday morning. Like, I have a permanent scowl that I have to fight off to appear normal, and for no particular effing reason. If this is PMS starting already, I feel sorry for everyone around me. I can only contain the crazy for so long. Argh!
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: I really don't like clutter, although you wouldn't know it to look at my house or my desk. But the one place I can't stand it is in my car. I hate having anything but what I really use in my car. Funny enough, there can be some random crap in the trunk, but otherwise, it has to be crap-free. Oh, and when I eat a sandwich, I always eat the crust first.

@erinh2005 - you have my sympathy! I can NOT imagine living with my MIL. We almost stayed with my MIL when we were in limbo between houses (just 3 nights) and I flat out refused! I stayed at my moms and DH stayed there on the nights he was working because its an hour closer to his work. I hope you can get into your own place
@Dilynne - I hope your family heals up quick! How scary! Also, your mom's BF sounds like he could use a high five (to the face...with a chair)

@tripledaggerWed95976 That's what we're trying to find out! My progesterone both times it was tested prior to my loss was incredibly low (the last one was 3.4). My doctor doesn't seem to think I have an issue (he thinks my progesterone was low because the pregnancy wasn't viable, not the other way around), so I'm trying to be hopeful that he's right!
End TW
@jatwal128 Also 7dpo with no desire to test. And I also feel like I'm out for no good reason at all. FX we're both wrong!
@BusinessWife Hey girl! So excited to see you here!
@mrsdaddario Thank you! They're only open for like another hour and 45 but I know sometimes the nurse does calls at the end of the day. I don't want to have to call them! Also I'm really happy to hear that your uterus/cervix are no longer being strange post IUI! FX so hard for you this cycle.
@mamashan12 So weirdly enough, I'm on my second cycle post miscarriage and one of the things I've noticed that has been different about my cycle has been that my boobs start to hurt almost immediately after O now. That never used to happen to me before either! And I've seen people on TTCAL say the same thing. So I guess it's normal? Though I can't imagine why.
@swanbrooner Sorry for CD1!
@Dilynne That's so scary! I'm happy to hear everyone was ok. My best friend was in a bad car accident on Saturday and I was a nervous wreck until I knew everything was alright, aside from her being banged up and the car being totaled
@magnolia131 1. I also get extensively stressed about TTC when I'm around my MIL and SIL, and I'm spending all of Saturday with my MIL so I'm not looking foreword to that. She doesn't even know we're TTC or that we had a loss but somehow she manages to touch on every sore subject imaginable every time I see or talk to her 2. I LOVE back to school shopping so much. This year I did it on amazon because I wanted a lot of things I couldn't get at target (like posters, borders, etc) but it was nowhere near the same as being able to go to the store and pick it all out!

@BusinessWife Heeeeeyyyy girl, glad to see you here!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 27/12
Timing: -2, -1, +1
R/R: DH and I's anniversary yesterday was awesome! DH was amazing and brought me flowers at work and then washed/cleaned my car before I got home, which was one of the best gifts he could ever give me. We had a nice dinner at a restaurant neither of us had been to and just genuinely enjoyed each other's company.
Then I woke up this morning with a cold sore and then got caught in a random traffic jam that made me late for work. Oh, and spotting has commenced so AF is anticipated tomorrow. Hopefully this isn't a foreshadowing of a lame day ahead. I plan on buying a big thing of Wonfos OPKS from Amazon today for the next round.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have?
I cannot stand people repeating themselves. Doesn't matter if it's in conversation, a song, whatever, it drives me BSC and I will literally walk away if it won't stop.
Edit: typo
CD/DPO: 31/9
Timing: Low, O-3, O+1
Testing: Nope
R/R: I've been kind of MIA because I took a step back this month from charting. I temped around O to confirm but was traveling during O so didn't go crazy. I needed a break. I took a pause on acupuncture too, it's just all too much right now. I've been working more on my job, which I love, and DS, who I want to remember is here now and not miss him growing up because I'm too consumed with TTC. DH just talked me off the ledge last month after AF showed and told me that a break from all things TTC might be helpful. It definitely was, I'll have to see how I feel next month if I chart all month or what.
CS/Q: nah, nothing to see
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have?
I have to put away the sharpest utensils first when I'm emptying the dishwasher. Reasoning: what if someone breaks in and stabs me with something handy? At least all the sharp ones will be put away already. In my mind, it makes perfect sense.
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: -2,-1,O
Testing: I am getting impatient but honestly I think af is coming so idk if I'll even bother. I can't decide.
R/R: Yall. I'm in an EPICALLY bad mood today. So @jatwal128 @Aurora1973 I completely feel ya. I wanted to choke slam someone at work earlier. Seriously. I'm not sure what it is, but NO one has their crap together and we start teaching on Monday.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What's a random quirk you have? I don't know how to ride a bike. Many have tried to teach me, all have failed.
