Month/Cycle:  9

CD/DPO:  15/2

Timing:  -3, 0

Testing:  Likely if I can hold out 10dpo

R/R: I'm hoping I caught ovulation on the zero day, I was in between OKP's and the charting stresses me out to much.  I've decided if this isn't our month, I will temp and chart next month.

CS/Q:  N/A

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? I love Spring and Fall.  Mainly because there is so much change in the weather and my ideal temperature is around 65 - 75 degrees.  I love all the life in spring but all the coziness of fall.  Oh, and I'm looking forward to hitting up the pumpkin patch and starting one of those giving thanks pumpkins for our table this year!

Thanks for starting this!

Month/Cycle:  3/3

CD/DPO:  16/3

Timing:  -3, -1, 1

Testing:  not yet! 9 or 10 days to go! Just ordered pregnancy tests off of Amazon!

R/R: Cousin in law just dropped by last night... unvited... and decided to spend the night. He had a habit of doing this before, but we had a "talk" with him about it, thought it had stopped. He knew my mother was coming over for the weekend, we already told him no when he invited himself and another cousin over, but he just decided that he was going to spend the night because he was "in the neighborhood"? I'd probably not think it was so much of an issue if it was someone else, but since there is a history there of coming over every weekend, and some weeknights, uninvited, and staying until like 9 pm on Sunday nights when I'm trying to get ready for the week, it makes me nervous that he's trying to sneak back to his old ways.

CS/Q: nope! Even though my chart isn't beautiful (my first month temping), I think there's a clear O day!

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Hmm... I like them all! I love the outdoors and I have special connotations with each season.

Self control fail this morning and tested.  BFN.  Not even the tiniest hint of a line.  Good luck to all of you ladies

@antoto so sorry for ur BFN :-( Creepy internet hugs to you

Month/Cycle:  6/5

CD/DPO:  32/11

Timing:  -5, -1,O

Testing:  Had a moment of weakness and tested this morning - BFN. I realize it could be early - not gonna test again until next weekend if no AF.

R/R:  Saw Bad Moms last night and it was hilarious - great movie! Debating whether or not to go to this artwalk thing tonight with my husband. He has to work the event (he does beer stuff) and I wanna spend time with him - but I really hate art. Ugh. And he has to stay there 4 hours.. blah. I'm trying to decide if I'd rather go there or stay home and watch netflix. Netflix may be winning...

CS/Q: 

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Summer! No work - lots of sun - super hot.  I love it all

Knottie1441390249

@DungeonTrollMel - We are on the exact same wait although I wish my BDing schedule was more like yours!

@Nelbetron - I would be so upset with CIL.  He crossed a boundary he shouldn't have.  He needs to get a life.

@antoto - I'm sorry about your BFN.

@antoto @hezzer78 Sorry about the BFNs, ladies. :-(

Month/Cycle:  12/12

CD/DPO:  28/11

Timing:  good

Testing: 

R/R: RE appointment went well yesterday--all the testing came back normal which is a relief but also kind of frustrating to not have a concrete reason why this isn't happening. Moving forward next cycle with medication/IUI.

CS/Q: 

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why?
Summer...no work.

Month/Cycle:  13/14

CD/DPO:  15/2

Timing:  -4, -2, iui on o

Testing:  blood test sept 9 if no af, but I might test sept 6 

R/R: dd is finally potty training and it's going great! while we're home she's not wearing a diaper at all and using the potty 100% of the time with no accidents. It makes me both happy and sad.

CS/Q:  

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Love spring and fall for the moderate temperatures, flowers blooming and leaves changing. Summer is a little hot for me, and I don't like winter and being cold and having a cold for months on end.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 31/10

Timing: not great.. -2, +1

Testing: probably tomorrow morning, see below

R/R: Yesterday I got the results from my fertility bloodwork and it looks like it‘s just low numbers across the board. Google tells me that in some instances this is good (thyroid, testosterone) and in some instances (estrogen, progesterone) this is bad.. But obviously im not a doctor so I‘ll have to wait until my next OB appointment (which isn‘t until the end of September) to find out what all those numbers actually mean :-(.

CS/Q: My progesterone is quite low, which was correctly anticipated by my OB ahead of the bloodwork. So I‘m already on supplements (Arefam) - I was told to take one pill each night for 10 days after ovulation, and to continue with them if I turn out to be KU. Obviously testing on 10/11 DPO might still give me a false negative. So if I get a BFN tomorrow, what would you guys do? Continue with the progesterone until AF shows up? Or just stop after 10 pills and resume if I get a BFP later on (which is not that likely anyway, given our timing)?

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why?

Fall! Which is convenient since it‘s just coming up ;-)

Summer is too hot for me, Spring too wet around here. I like Winter in the mountains, but in the city (which is where we live) it‘s not much fun, just grey and muddy.

@antoto @hezzer78 Sorry about the BFNs :-(.

Month/Cycle:  13/9

CD/DPO:  30/12

Timing:  -4,-3,-2,IUI on O

Testing:  BFN yesterday and today 

R/R: I'm pretty sure I'm out and progesterone is making me crazy. This whole process is just draining and discouraging. 

CS/Q: how long does progesterone delay AF? I already have a 16 day LP. Last month I had a 19 day LP on my first medicated testing cycle with no progesterone.  

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Spring cuz of my birthday and thunderstorms. 

adirat

I think I might be out. My temp dropped drastically this morning (to 96.9 when my coverline is 97.0). I'm having a lot of lubricative sensation like spotting is on its way. I'm 6dpo and in my two cycles of charting so far my luteal phase was 6 days both times. 

I cried.

Then I read that post this morning from "I don't want a June baby because too many June babies in my family" and I wanted to fucking smack her. Could you possibly even be more inane and insensitive? 

You are a bad person. 

Month/Cycle: 3/3 

CD/DPO: CD21/6dpo 

Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0 

Testing: Was thinking Monday before a doctor's appointment but I'm sure I'll be out by then.  

R/R: Sorry I can't help with any of your questions today, ladies. 

CS/Q:

GTKY: I really like fall, which is weird because I hate winter.

slam1110

Sorry for all the BFNs today!!! Hugs to everyone!

Month/Cycle: 4/4  

CD/DPO:  22/4

Timing:  EOD during FW

Testing:  Eh, trying not to think about it, not anytime soon.

R/R: Had a tiff witu DH again this morning about a work party I want to go to. Eveytime there is an outside work function, he never wants me to go. Said, wouldn't you rather be with your family? Like really?!?! Can I not have an evening out every now and then? I never have girl nights out, so this is considered my GNO. Gah he can be so frusturating, finally he said, don't listen to me, do what u want. If that's not guilt 101.  I guess my rave would be this is really the only thing we ever argue about, lol.

CS/Q: Nah, just waiting at this point.

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? It used to be summer, love me some heat, but I think fall has taken over, crisper air, football season, cinnamon and pumpkin smells...mmm.

Sirius37

@Nelbetron That sucks! I would definitely keep an eye on the cousin to make sure he isn’t weaseling back into a free stay, ESPECIALLY uninvited.

 

@antoto @hezzer79 Sorry for the BFNs L

 @lökkun I’m keeping my FX for you that your levels are mostly good! If some of them should be higher, hopefully your OB will be able to provide some solid answers/solutions.

 Month/Cycle:  2/2

CD/DPO:  21/5

Timing:  -2, O, +1

Testing:  Not right now

R/R: I don't know what's going on lately, but I am so sick of waking up before my temping time! It's always around an hour and a half early. It's generally after a solid 3 hours of sleep, which is helpful, but it's still annoying to me.

CS/Q: Nothing today

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why?
I love summer! I love the sunshine and being able to wear tank top without threat of frostbite. Summers are not very long here in AK at all, so it helps you to appreciate them.

The cold gives me plenty of excuses to drink hot chocolate with whipped cream, however.

Month/Cycle:  1/1 after a loss

CD/DPO:  24/1

Timing:  -4, -3, -2, O, +1

Testing:  I just had my temperature shift today, so I won't be testing for a while. 

R/R: Today, I caught up on the sleep I'd been missing from last weekend and this week. I went to bed around 10pm and didn't get up for real until 12. I woke up at 7 to take my dogs out and eat breakfast, but I went back to bed and napped on and off until 12. I feel so much better now.

CS/Q: Nope. I'll probably think of something later.

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why?

Summer. I'm a teacher and love being off. I love hot weather and swimming. 

lökkun

@Sirius37 Thank you!

@Megzb510 – seems like we‘re both dealing with progesterone issues! I didn‘t even realise that it delays AF, so that‘s good to know. Sorry to hear about the long LP, Fx that it will end in a BFP soon!

@adirat sorry to hear about the temp drop. That blows :-(

@slam1110 Men can be so silly sometimes. Sometimes when I‘m really busy my SO will get a „but what about meeeee“ moment which just adds to the stress…. don‘t let him guilt trip you into not enjoying your well deserved evening out!

Month/Cycle:  First cycle after loss

CD/DPO:  36/5 

Timing:  -4, -3, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3

Testing: I'm going to try to wait until missed AF but will most likely cave around 10dpo 

R/R: My neighbor told me she is pregnant and due in Feb. I thought I was doing ok with grieving my latest loss but this news just ripped open the wound. All the could have, what ifs, why me, has put me in a serious sad mood. ok rant over .

CS/Q: just waiting.

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why?I love summer. Swimming, sun, frozen drinks, splash pads, long days. Plus I'm a teacher so no work

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: -2, 0

Testing: Wait for AF

R/R: On the road again...

CS/Q:  I'm wanting to do the full charting method. I didn't chart when TTGP last time, only used OPKs.  I'm hoping charting may speed up the process since I'll have a better understanding/predictability.  Anyway, recommendations for basal thermometers?  Also, which is preferred, oral or vaginal temps, especially if the thermometer is dependent on type. 

GTKY: What's your favorite season and why?
Anymore I don't choose a favorite. I like them all but for different reasons. Winter because we can snowboard. Spring because it's pretty and ideal temps for me.  Summer because there's so much to do. Fall because it's pretty and ideal temps again. So yeah...

Behari

@bumpybump: I'm curious about recommendations for basal thermometers as well. I took my temp 3 times in a five minute time span last night just to test my thermometer and I got very different readings. Looks like I need to invest in a better thermometer...Month/Cycle:  10/8
CD/DPO:  44/10 (according to FF but see below)Timing:  -2, -1 (or -1, 0 if going by OPK)Testing:  BFN on a blood test 5dpo - no surprise there but doc wanted to test so she could treat the worst ever (and my first ever!) yeast infection. I've been through two different treatments but I'm still not cured. I'm so darned miserable!!!R/R: I think I already did that in regards to the YI above - Ha!CS/Q: I’m new to charting and OPKs (and to posting!). After six months of regular 29-day cycles, I am now having irregular cycles. This cycle, I had 18 days of the flashing smiley on CB digital until I finally got the solid on CD28. However, FF put ovulation on CD34 based on my BBTs. My chart (https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/663bff) is all over the place though. I can’t seem to get 3 solid hours of sleep to temp at the same time so I’m thinking it’s not reliable or maybe I haven’t even ovulated yet? Charting is completely new to me and I feel like I could use some help. Any thoughts? 

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Fall is my favorite season. I love the bright color changes and slightly chilly days, as well as indulging in warm drinks and chocolate chip pumpkin cookies!

Sirius37

@bumpybump I know a lot of the ladies on here recommend the Mabis thermometer. I don't think it's the same brand, but I got the pink one from Walmart and it's been awesome. It doesn't have a backlight, which would be nice, but it's reliable and I think that's the most important part.
I personally have to take temps vaginally to have a chart that makes any sort of sense. I tend to sleep with my mouth open and it made my chart way too wonky. It was a night-and-day difference when I switched.

Good luck!

Edit: Grammer

beary67

@bumpybump @Behari the Mabis from Amazon is what we recommend. The link is below.

Behari

@beary67: Thanks! Ordered and should arrive on Monday. Hopefully this helps a little with my erratic temps.

shstephenson

@bumpybump I believe most ladies use Mabis. That's what I've been using and it seems to be the most reliable/good for your price, ect

 @Behari That yeast infection sounds awful. Sorry you're having to deal with that!       

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO:  18/7

Timing:  -3,-1,O,+1

Testing:  Eh. Maybe next week. Depends on how strong my desire to POAS gets.

R/R: Yall I had THE most amazing Blue Moon float at lunch today! It was Blue Moon, soft serve vanilla ice cream, an orange liqueur and OJ. Part of me feels a littleeeee guilty for drinking it since its about implantation time, but then again drink til its pink, right? And besides it was just one. So worth it. So good. (also, its a little sad this was my rave for the day)

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why?

Fall! Football, cooler weather (if we are lucky), all the tasty things like ciders and tailgate food, Halloween... I could go on and on.

slam1110

@shstephenson That float sounds heavenly! I once had an orange creamsicle drink before with orange liqueur, tasted just like the orange creamsicle you buy at the store, but with alcohol, divine! And I'm also in the camp drink til its pink....however remind me that next weekend for Labor Day!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO:  28/ 14 or 15

Timing:  good

Testing:  BFN on CD25 and 27 (yesterday)

R/R: Still no signs of AF but the tests are negative. It should start any day now but perhaps I O'd later but I'm pretty sure I didn't but that's only based on CM and CP. 

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why? Fall, in both New England where I'm from and Korea where we're stationed now. I like wearing boots, leggings, and sweaters so Fall is perfect. Even winter in Korea doesn't get too cold since we're further South.

Testing:  cheapies on 8 DPO

R/R: Looots of drama at the bridesmaid's fitting today.  Firstly, the bride picked an absolutely terrible dress (strapless for double d boobs!) that DW had no input on, and then found out today during the fitting (since the dress the bride bought was 2 sizes too big) that the bride had no intention on paying for the dress to be altered, so we were stuck with a $100 bill to alter a dress she hates.

Fun times!

This is why when me and the DW got married, we did it in a courtroom and then went to dinner after.  Nothing wrong with weddings, just so not for us.  Too stressful.

CS/Q:  nope

GTKY: What is your favorite season and why?

fall/winter! pumpkin spice, coats, scarves, holidays, yummy food, all the stereotypical reasons. 

slaven

@captainfoxtrot DH and I had a town hall wedding followed by lunch with our families. My SIL is getting married next summer and I'm a bridesmaid. Thankfully she isn't choosing strapless but the color is spa blue. Also, she knows we are TTC and that we will TTA so that I'm not due in July or August (the wedding is July 30) but I could still be far enough along to need a special fitting. The dress she chose is not maternity friendly at all so I'm waiting to see. She isn't paying for the dress but it's $100 which isn't horrible but I'd hate to buy it then need a different dress because I get KU. Alterations are expensive! 

bumpybump

@captainfoxtrot am I reading this right, you and the other bridesmaids are footing the bill for the bride's alterations to her wedding dress????

slaven

@bumpybump I think the bride picked out the bridesmaid dress for @captainfoxtrot 's wife and bought it but it was too big so they have to pay for the alterations when it should have been ordered in the correct size in the first place. 

Oh and as a fellow DD/DDD er I despise strapless dresses, especially for events where you want to dance and have fun. 

bumpybump

@slavenski that makes a lot more sense!  I had read it like 10 times and couldn't figure it out. lol!  

Behari

@bumpybump I read it the same way. Makes a lot more sense now! One of many reasons DH and I opted for a small family only back yard wedding ceremony. I actually wanted to elope but it was really important to DH to have family there. It turned out to be the right decision because my FIL passed away a year later. Our wedding remains one of our fondest memories with my FIL, as he was so darn happy for us that day. 

Question - does anyone know if taking progesterone can cause a positive OPK? The doc prescribed me progesterone to bring on AF so that my YI can be more aggressively treated (basically she is using the progesterone as a test to see if I'm pregnant, which is weird). So I took the first 2 pills last night and low and behold got the solid smiley this morning. So either the progesterone is causing a false positive on the OPK or I really didn't ovulate yet (as I was kind of thinking). Looks like I may be out of the TWW if that is the case.

[Deleted User]

@Behari. No, opks check for LH, FSH and/or estrogen.  Progesterone doesnt rise till AFTER ovulation, so that doesn't make sense to look for that prior to O.

If you suspect you are really in WTO, then you could post this question there, or of course ask your question like you did in TWW.  Either way, there is a new WTO/TWW thread started each day, so more people will see your questions if you post it on the current day's thread.  ;)

captainfoxtrot

@slavenski@bumpybump  Yeah, sorry! Was ranty and not making much sense yesterday, but the bride picked out her dress (the bridesmaid's) and paid for it, which is normal.  The not cool part was that she had implied she'd pay for the alterations if it was needed, and then when she found out the cost ($100) told us to pay for it ourselves or return the dress and then went radio silent. 

We decided to just pay for it, but next time I see the bride ima be like



Also, wife cried a lot over it and had a small breakdown. Like, I'm trying really hard to like her sister but idk how I'm supposed to do that when she keeps pulling crap like this and stressing her out/making her cry.
