R/R: Waiting for AF. At least I remembered to put tampons in my purse. Last month AF came a few days early and I was at work with nothing. Thankfully it was a quiet day and it's a 5-10 minute walk from home.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?
I'd rather ride a horse. I used to ride horses from ages 5-14 but it got too expensive to do competitively anymore. Also, I love shows set in historical time periods where they ride horses (Outlander, Vikings, etc.). I don't mind driving a car but it's not fun and my knees hurt to much bike riding for some reason.
<p>Month/Cycle: 12 </p><p>CD/DPO: 14/3</p><p>Timing: -2,-1,+1</p><p>Testing: nope</p><p>R/R: I was sorta weirded out cos I never got a Peak smiley this cycle, and that's never happened to me before. I got a nice rise today, tho (see below), so I took one last one today, (for science), and still no peak. Whatevs. Folli scan yesterday showed the corpus luteum on u/s, and my folli measured 2.43 on Thursday (CD11) so I'm sure I ovulated some time later that afternoon/evening. Wish we had more timing, but I had my SHG on CD9, so any BD before that would have been pointless anyway. Kicking myself for not getting O night too, or Friday AM, but nothing to be done about it now! Lord knows, we've had way more timing than that, and it hasnt mattered, so either its6good enough, or it's not!</p><p>CS/Q: not really, but I just about fell over when I saw this morning's rise!</p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/qo/4b1ekqii0mri.jpg" alt=""> </p><span>GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? Horsies! I really only rode one summer as a kid, but I loved it. Our new place is in full-on horse country, so hoping I can find a way to get back into it more. Especially with future littles. ;)</span>
R/R: I am on vacation until Saturday! Nothing is better (work wise) than getting paid to sit at the beach!
CS/Q: n/a
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? Car. I used to ride horses but now have an irrational fear of them- my dad had 3 and they are terrifying. Biking is probably great exercise, but totally not my thing.
R/R: i woke up really early this morning and FF is open dotting my temp, but I'm still counting it.
CS/Q: not today
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? A horse. I haven't been on one since I was a kid and would love to be on vacation riding on the beach in the water.
Testing: blood test sept 9, but i may test sept 6 - not testing out trigger this time and only have 1 wondfo pg test left so I have to make it worthwhile!
R/R: I'm done temping! Decided to just temp until I got crosshairs this time, and not stress the rest of the cycle and try to forget that I'm in the tww. I'm only 3dpo, though, and I'm ssing already. Things feel different this month, but I'm sure it's all in my head.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? a car. I can get places faster than either a bike or a horse.
R/R: after a very unusual pre-Ov cycle (lots of wierd temp spikes and dips) I finally got my crosshairs on FF this morning Yay! This month was my "you're regular until you're not" cycle
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? I would ride a horse!! I'm obsessed with horses
Testing: I'm trying really hard to wait until 12dpo (Friday)
R/R: I'm starting to get the testing itch, and will start the real crazy soon. I need to hold out! I only have one test left until I order more and go to the store. I usually cave and start testing around 9 so I'm really gonna need some willpower this week.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? Keep the horses so far away from me! No thank you! But I would gladly ride a bike everywhere in life (if that was at all practical where I live and with 2 toddlers).
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)
Just gotta say, I have the sorest boobs right now and they're probably a cup size larger than usual. With my iud I had boob soreness during AF but never like this. Last AF (1st with no iud) was hard painful too. Still waiting for her to show up so I can move to WTO.
R/R: Had a great weekend with my in laws, they just left this morning. They are so sweet with DS and it's just easy having them around.
CS/Q: Already feeling out this month and just know I'm not pregnant... Sigh. Temp dropped significanttly yesterday and didn't shoot back up today. Feeling so frustrated. DS completely weaned from BFing as of last week, I'm wondering why that'd give me A SHORTER LP? I thought it was supposed to lengthen after weaning. Maybe my body is trying to get back on track after weaning. I don't know but I'm feeling really frustrated and annoyed. I know I'm not out until I'm out but I feel out.
ETA: posting my chart
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? Bike if it's somewhere close, otherwise car for convenience!
@businesswife Nice to see you over here (although I will be leaving soon...)!! Your timing is still pretty dang good. @daisy621 Smart to stop temping during the tww. My TWW temps always toy with me--they always look great but then AF comes right on time every. month. @travelingcouple sometimes you can also get a dip from an estrogen surge mid-LP, so your temps may still go back up.
Month/Cycle: 12/12
CD/DPO: 29/12
Timing: good
Testing: none
R/R: My temps still look great, but cramps tell me otherwise. I'll probably be out of here in the next couple days.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? I enjoy riding a bike if it's not too far, but we live in a pretty car-dependent area.
Testing: Did yesterday - BFN. Even though it was a bit early, pretty sure I'm out. Started getting some AF-esque cramps this AM.
R/R: Went to the art walk yesterday with DH - it was ok. I ended up doing some of his job for him so he could walk around and ogle art - he's much more into it than me. I bought some stuff for me and we ate out afterwards, so it was nice. I did drink a bit too much though. Ugh. I'm not hungover - just feel a little tired.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? I used to ride and have horses. I gave lessons and worked at a summer girl scout camp for horse back riding. I would ride my horse EVERYWHERE - we'd ride them to restaurants, and through the drive thru at McDonalds.. good times.
I would say a horse - but that's not very practical in this day and age. The city I live in is too spread out to get anywhere safely on a horse, so it'd prob have to be a car.
R/R: I go here now! And BF closed on her house last week so we were there all day yesterday pulling nails , fixing holes & getting ready to paint. Today we are sanding & priming. Honestly it was nice yesterday to stay busy & forget about TTC for a day.
CS/Q: Somehow, FF gave me crosshairs this morning. My chart is a hot mess:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? I HATE riding in the car. Realistically, that is the most efficient way to get around though. I don't care for riding a bike either. I would like to ride a horse, but not as my means of transportation.
Testing: Tomorrow before my doctor's appointment, unless my spotting becomes full-on AF.
R/R:
CS/Q: Still spotting. I don't know what to make of it. My big temp dip yesterday (96.9, below my 97.0 coverline) was gone today and I'm back up to 97.5. I know if I go read anything online it's going to say "omfg implantation dip!!!1!!" which I can't emotionally handle because I know I'm out. At this point, my only hope is that AF stays away until Tuesday so that on Monday I can ask my endocrinologist to test my progesterone 8dpo to see if it's low and that's the cause of all my problems.
(I feel so pathetic, too, having gone from wishing for a baby to just wishing for an eight-day luteal phase, which I have never had since charting. Sigh. But I got some movies to watch with DH so I can distract myself and try not to stress out too much.)
GTKY: I love riding a bike, but I haven't done it once since moving to New York because I'm terrified of the taxis and traffic.
Testing: Waiting to miss AF. Expected to come 9/6. Never tested before so it if holds out that long it'll be a first
R/R: DH working 16 hours today. Boo!!
CS/Q: Temps seem all over the place. It looks like I've been dipping since the surge. First time temping (don't even have a full cycle in) not sure if this is regular or not. Trying to tell myself that the cover line is elevated since I had a few higher temps before O due to me temping later in the morning. FF had them as open circles. This morning it spiked back up but I have a funny feeling it was because my dog was barking at something in the wee mornings and I didn't manage to fall back asleep and temped about a 1/2 hour after.
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? Drive a car. Love the convenience and all the storage space. I wish I could say horse, but frankly they spook me. I visited a friend who lived on a horse farm, someone had me hold their horse, the horse snorted at me and I screamed. They took the reigns from me immediately afterwards.

Timing: not yet!! Cheapos 9 dpo, since we're going to be drinking over this next weekend (I tots can keep the secret from dh... or tell him to keep it a secret, right?! Haha... see how my willpower just erodes?)
R/R: not really... thanks for letting me vent yesterday about Cousin in law!! It is so nice to have a place to vent!
CS/Q: not really... I had a few beers last night and my temps are really high this a.m... and I got a really terrible nights sleep, so I'm debating tossing the temp.
GTKY: right now I use car mostly because of where we live and I have like a 45 minute commute to work... but if I had my choice probably bike!
And to all the other dpo3ers!!! Dang we are going to have an explosion of BFPs in 7-8 days around here
Month/Cycle: 10
CD/DPO: 16/3
Timing: all the sex + x2 on O
Testing: testing out my trigger first
R/R: the TWW seems longer when you have been here since dpo1. When you have to wait 3 days for crosshairs then you only have a week before early testing.
Also pretty excited I got some decent creamy CM before my progesterone starts tonight, maybe I'm actually making some on my own for once. I haven't seen that in many cycles
CS/Q:
No questions. Everyone else was sharing so I wanted to as well. Clomid jacks with your temps FYI
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? I love riding horses but I wish I could ride a bike to work.
R/R: DH and I got into a petty argument last night and after dinner and putting DD to bed he disappeared outside and started a fire (didn't tell me he was). Meanwhile, I did the dishes and unpacked the car. Thanks for not helping! I'm guessing what I thought was a stupid argument, he thought was more. I gave him his space and didn't join him at the fire. He's still not really talking to me this morning. This is so stupid!
CS/Q: Curious, my OBGYN has always said to come in after 6 months of trying and not succeeding TTC. How long does your OBGYN say?
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? A car because I can put DD in and get stuff done. She loves the bike trailer but gets sick of it in 30 mins. Cars = convienance

Wow, glad to see so many more of you guys over here this morning! Seems there was a mass exodus from WTO.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 19/8
Timing: -3,-1,O,+1
Testing: Meh. I have been feeling pessimistic about this cycle, but I'm sure I'll test in the next 3-4 days if AF doesn't show
R/R: Like I said, I'm just a Debbie Downer and feeling like I'm out this cycle. Even though I caved and bought this super adorable onesie the other day. I rationalized it by saying the colors are gender neutral and it has little elephants on it (I really love elephants). TWW makes me all kinds of crazy. And it doesn't help that all FB has been recently has been pregnancy announcements. Its starting to sting.
CS/Q: nah
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? Fun fact of the day, I do not know how to ride a bike. And DH is so allergic to horses that if I came home with horse hair on me he would be able to tell immediately. So it looks like its a car for me.
R/R: I was so busy yesterday that I didn't think about TTGP and it was so nice at the end of the day to not have that burden on me. I obviously need a life because I think I spend way too much time stressing about getting KU now. Rant: my puppy just had diarrhea all over our outdoor rug
CS/Q: No
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? Back where I'm originally from? A bike because it is beautiful outside and hardly any traffic. Now? Definitely a car. It is hot, dirty, and traffic is a bitch.
@bumpybump The standard advice is 12 months under age 35 and 6 months age 35+, unless you have a health issue going on. My gyno told me to do 6 cycles (not months) TTC before coming in because I have endometriosis. She tells people with PCOS to do 6 months (not cycles). And that's with charting -- she said you need to know if you are ovulating, etc., or all she can do is have you chart so she can run bloodwork at the right time. I understand that if you do the time without charting a good gyno would be skeptical to do much since you don't know what's happening with your body and if you are even timing intercourse appropriately.
All that said, I know from plenty of women on here that many doctors still believe the "Every woman ovulates on CD14" nonsense, so I think I may have lucked out with my gyno.
@shstephenson I'm sorry you're feeling negative! FX for you!!
Month/Cycle: 10/5
CD/DPO: 36/10
Timing: Good
Testing: AF came on 11 or 12 dpo last time, so if she doesn't show I will probably test Wednesday. I always have the exact same cramps and lower back pain before AF arrives and nothing yet. FX!
R/R: I have kept myself very busy this weekend to try to avoid the temptation to test. I only have one HPT right now and I don't even want to see that single line. Also with my trigger I don't know if I would even trust a BFP right now. If this cycle isn't successful I'm definitely going to test out my trigger next time. Ran lots of errands, worked on the guest room that we are finally dealing with, and followed through on my plan to make lots of yummy food while DH was out of town! Also did some binge Gilmore Girls watching last night.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? I never really got in to riding horses, and I live in a pretty car dependent place. I would love it if I lived somewhere that was more bike friendly!
R/R: I wish it wasn't Sunday already...the weekends are far too short. Driving back from my parent's house today. The house we are renting flooded last week and has to be treated for mold, so we will be going straight there to run laundry, re pack our bags, and check into a hotel. Fun stuff.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? I'll take the car, thanks. I can't imagine not having the AC/heater in inclement weather and also love being able to sing along to my favorite songs while driving.
@BusinessWife I had a big spike post-O this month, too. I can't attribute it to anything and I don't think it was false because it's stayed up. I think your timing was just fine, so try and put it out of your mind for the time being. What's done is done and you still got BDing in on some of the best days!
@Cait32 the open circles drive me crazy,too. I have a few too many this cycle and I don't like it one bit.
@adirat All of the hugs. I hope AF holds out, I also start spotting early in the LP and it gets me down.
@magnolia131 I hope you don't have to pay for that hotel out of pocket! What a pain.
@nelbetron I'd hold off on tossing the temp to see what happens over the next few days. Luckily you're on the right side of the crosshairs!
@adirat I hope your doctor can provide some insight for you. Hopefully there's a simple answer with a simple solution.
Month/cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 37/13
Timing: -5,-3,-1,+1
Testing: ...
R/R: I'm really looking forward to my hair appointment Tuesday. I posted a while back about going for the trendy long bob and the day is almost here!
CS/Q: No temp drop this morning. This is only my second cycle charting and last month my LP was 12 days but I'm not sure what my "normal" is. I will admit my hopes are up. Yesterday though I was a total negative nancy and was for sure I was out. Let's see if AF shows today...
GTKY: car for sure. I am always up for the most convenient options.
@magnolia131 Oh no! What a pain about your house getting flooded! Glad your folks are close enough by to *misread* help you out. GL getting all that cleaned up :/
@ClaireCF Good work on the Guest room! Nice to stay busy. I am hoping to do the same the next couple weeks and not get too sucked into the stress of TTC or waiting to test... Easier said than done. ;)
@jeg07 9DPO is still way early. The rate of false-negatives drops way off around 11DPO, so I wouldn't give up hope yet!
@shstephenson Aww that onesie sounds cute. Don't be too hard on yourself, just blame the progesterone ;)
@bumpybump six months is a good recommendation for anyone who is charting with well-timed intercourse. The year things I think is more standard for people who may not be charting, may not actually end up with great timing etc. six months is a good guideline if you are 35+ or for anyone who is charting imho
@Cait32 Yess! At this point, it's all out of our hands anyway! But we can hope for lots of good news soon to come... ;)
@DungeonTrollMel Oh, but your chart is still so purdy, tho! and your timing! We got this. <img width="300" alt="" src="https://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/e5/e3/2e/e5e32e9869c02665e2ef1789c16de297.jpg" height="415"><img alt="" src="https://37.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj0pyhMF911qbpohdo1_r1_500.gif">
@Nelbetron Thanks! If you've already got your CH, then don't even sweat it. Some people stop temping all together after they get CH. So no point in tossing it; just leave it in there with a note about drinking or whatever, and keep it moving ;) Luckily it happened after that critical point where you're trying to confirm O, so it's all good.
@SP128 Thanks! You have amazing timing this cycle! FX for you ;)
@adirat Thanks! it feels good to have so much of that behind us... I'm sorry you're feeling out. FX for your test in the morning and your doctor's appointment... (((hugs))) hopefully you can get some answers soon.
@Westy99 Your chart looks great! Don't even stress about it, you're here in TWW now, 3DPO crew lol That will be us in afew weeks here, all the patching, sanding painting etc. FUN TIMES! That's is awesom that you could help your friend with all that, cos it can be a real PITA, but doing it with a buddy makes it more fun. ;)
@hezzer78 you'll have to give me some lessons. I rode so little I would need a lot of practice to get up to snuff even as just a casual adult rider. But where we are moving, there's signs everywhere to slow down when horse and rider are present. I love it!
@felix08 Hey gurl! Just for you... <3 Sigh. <img width="306" alt="" src="https://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/d0/73/9a/d0739a16c3639f3af6b769397a52178a.jpg" height="419">
@TravelingCouple Aww, try to cheer up. Listen, at 5DPO NOBODY'S PREGNANT! That whole thing about, "I just knew something was different, I just FELT PREGNANT"??? That's a bunch of crap. At 5 DPO, implantation hasn't even happened yet, so please! Don't be silly! It's not over till the witch shows her face, and you are TOTALLY not out yet! :)
@AngelaPlus3 Hang in there! I try to remind myself, the chance of a false-negative, (i.e. COMPLETE AND UTTER WASTE OF A TEST), is way higher all the way up through 10 DPO. If you can even make it to 11DPO is so much better. My doctor suggested I might turn a test around 12DPO if KU, or else wait to test around 15DPO (that's with my average 13-14 day LP) Be strong!
@tripledaggerWed95976 Yay! Hooray for CH and one more in the 3DPO wave, right @Cait32 @DungeonTrollMel @BitterBetty12 (eta @West99 ) @Daisy621 Phew! So glad you have the most stressful part all over-with, but for the waiting... FX for you when you get your labs (I go in that same day, too! lol)
@maebee87 Sounds like a heavenly vacay to me, too!
@MommytoM13 Winning! Enjoy your vacation! ;)
@slavenski Oh dear, So sorry about all the BFNs. Hopefully you'll have better luck this next cycle :/ (((hugs))) I am so impressed you used to ride competitively! That sounds awesome!
R/R: I know my timing was really good, but somehow I'm still mad that we missed the day before ovulation. It shouldn't be a big deal breaker, but it still worries me.
CS/Q: Not now
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? A car is most realistic for me, but horses are more fun.
Sorry I've been MIA this weekend, DH is out of town and I'm alone with a teething toddler. I will need all of the wine tonight.
Month/Cycle: 1 (after 7 NTNP)
CD/DPO: 28/5
Timing: -5, -3, -2, 0
Testing: probably Friday at 10dpo if I'm being honest with myself, unless my temp drops before then
R/R: I'm tired.
CS/Q: nope.
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? Car because while I do enjoy biking I'm just lazy and it's easier. And also cars are air conditioned. It is so hot here still, when will it be fall? Ugh.
Testing: I'll test next Sunday morning at the earliest
R/R: Tonight is DH's fantasy football draft and I get to go out and deliver fliers for our HOA event next Monday once I get home from work, very likely with my 6 year old and 3 year old. I'm hoping it won't take as long as I think it will.
CS/Q: N/A
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? I love to bike for recreation, never been one for horses but I love my newest car we have bought. I'll have to go with car.
~*~AvidVertigo from back in the day ~*~ DS - May 2010 DD - June 2013 TTC since January 2016 Cycle #9
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? I would rather bike or ride a horse because that would mean that a) I'm on vacation or b) it's the weekend.
@TravelingCouple Do you have a short luteal phase? That seems pretty early for a temp. drop. signifying AF. I'm not an expert, but I'd say there's still hope!
@chocolatelemons yeah it's short, normally anywhere from 7-10 days. 5 or 6 would be ridiculously short. My LP has varied a lot bc I was nursing my DS. He just weaned this month so maybe my hormones are haywire
CD/DPO: 31/12-13 ( I don't chart and don't opk this cycle)
Timing: -2 and maybe O based on signs
Testing: 8-11 DPO negative
R/R: I'm very pathetic, I had one cheap internet test that I used on Sat which was BFN. I should have just let it go but then I went on Amazon and read reviews about how this test gave false negatives so now I'm back hoping. I'll wait until Tuesday and if I don't get AF then I'll test again which I would do anyways but hate working myself up. No more cheap Internet sticks for me!
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? Definitely car! I love driving. It's stress relief for me but only if there is no traffic!
So it's noon Monday here in Korea. I just walked home for lunch and felt...wet. I thought it was AF and it was just a bunch of creamy CF. I've had so much the past week or so I've had to do laundry just to get clean underwear. Maybe I should just own more lol
Re: TWW Sunday

R/R: Waiting for AF. At least I remembered to put tampons in my purse. Last month AF came a few days early and I was at work with nothing. Thankfully it was a quiet day and it's a 5-10 minute walk from home.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?I'd rather ride a horse. I used to ride horses from ages 5-14 but it got too expensive to do competitively anymore.

CS/Q: n/a
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? Car. I used to ride horses but now have an irrational fear of them- my dad had 3 and they are terrifying. Biking is probably great exercise, but totally not my thing.

R/R: I'm done temping! Decided to just temp until I got crosshairs this time, and not stress the rest of the cycle and try to forget that I'm in the tww. I'm only 3dpo, though, and I'm ssing already. Things feel different this month, but I'm sure it's all in my head.

R/R: after a very unusual pre-Ov cycle (lots of wierd temp spikes and dips) I finally got my crosshairs on FF this morning Yay! This month was my "you're regular until you're not" cycle

Testing: I'm trying really hard to wait until 12dpo (Friday)
R/R: I'm starting to get the testing itch, and will start the real crazy soon. I need to hold out! I only have one test left until I order more and go to the store. I usually cave and start testing around 9 so I'm really gonna need some willpower this week.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?Keep the horses so far away from me! No thank you! But I would gladly ride a bike everywhere in life (if that was at all practical where I live and with 2 toddlers).

Timing: 0-1, 0
Testing: No plans
R/R: Had a great weekend with my in laws, they just left this morning. They are so sweet with DS and it's just easy having them around.
CS/Q: Already feeling out this month and just know I'm not pregnant... Sigh. Temp dropped significanttly yesterday and didn't shoot back up today. Feeling so frustrated. DS completely weaned from BFing as of last week, I'm wondering why that'd give me A SHORTER LP? I thought it was supposed to lengthen after weaning. Maybe my body is trying to get back on track after weaning. I don't know but I'm feeling really frustrated and annoyed. I know I'm not out until I'm out but I feel out.
ETA: posting my chart
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?Bike if it's somewhere close, otherwise car for convenience!
@businesswife Nice to see you over here (although I will be leaving soon...)!! Your timing is still pretty dang good.
@daisy621 Smart to stop temping during the tww. My TWW temps always toy with me--they always look great but then AF comes right on time every. month.
@travelingcouple sometimes you can also get a dip from an estrogen surge mid-LP, so your temps may still go back up.
Month/Cycle: 12/12
CD/DPO: 29/12
Timing: good
Testing: none
R/R: My temps still look great, but cramps tell me otherwise. I'll probably be out of here in the next couple days.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?I enjoy riding a bike if it's not too far, but we live in a pretty car-dependent area.
Month/Cycle: 6/5
CD/DPO: 33/12
Timing: -5, -1, O
Testing: Did yesterday - BFN. Even though it was a bit early, pretty sure I'm out. Started getting some AF-esque cramps this AM.
R/R: Went to the art walk yesterday with DH - it was ok. I ended up doing some of his job for him so he could walk around and ogle art - he's much more into it than me. I bought some stuff for me and we ate out afterwards, so it was nice. I did drink a bit too much though. Ugh. I'm not hungover - just feel a little tired.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?I used to ride and have horses. I gave lessons and worked at a summer girl scout camp for horse back riding. I would ride my horse EVERYWHERE - we'd ride them to restaurants, and through the drive thru at McDonalds.. good times.
I would say a horse - but that's not very practical in this day and age. The city I live in is too spread out to get anywhere safely on a horse, so it'd prob have to be a car.
CD/DPO: 23/3
Timing: -3,-2,0
Testing:
R/R: I go here now! And BF closed on her house last week so we were there all day yesterday pulling nails , fixing holes & getting ready to paint. Today we are sanding & priming. Honestly it was nice yesterday to stay busy & forget about TTC for a day.
CS/Q: Somehow, FF gave me crosshairs this morning. My chart is a hot mess:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? I HATE riding in the car. Realistically, that is the most efficient way to get around though. I don't care for riding a bike either. I would like to ride a horse, but not as my means of transportation.
@BusinessWife Welcome to TWW! What a rise today! And I read your post in the other thread -- I'm glad your SHG and US went well!
@Daisy621 Totally get the Wondfo rationing. FX!
@tripledaggerWed95976 Welcome to TWW! Glad you got crosshairs on your chart (it's one of the odder ones I've seen for sure).
@hezzer78 Sorry for BFN. At least the art walk was better than anticipated!
@Cait32 Welcome
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: CD22/7dpo
Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0
Testing: Tomorrow before my doctor's appointment, unless my spotting becomes full-on AF.
R/R:
CS/Q: Still spotting. I don't know what to make of it. My big temp dip yesterday (96.9, below my 97.0 coverline) was gone today and I'm back up to 97.5. I know if I go read anything online it's going to say "omfg implantation dip!!!1!!" which I can't emotionally handle because I know I'm out. At this point, my only hope is that AF stays away until Tuesday so that on Monday I can ask my endocrinologist to test my progesterone 8dpo to see if it's low and that's the cause of all my problems.
(I feel so pathetic, too, having gone from wishing for a baby to just wishing for an eight-day luteal phase, which I have never had since charting. Sigh. But I got some movies to watch with DH so I can distract myself and try not to stress out too much.)
GTKY: I love riding a bike, but I haven't done it once since moving to New York because I'm terrified of the taxis and traffic.
@BusinessWife - What a spike!
@MommytoM13 - Enjoy the beach.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 19/6
Timing: -5, -4, -2, 0, +1, +2
Testing: Waiting to miss AF. Expected to come 9/6. Never tested before so it if holds out that long it'll be a first
R/R: DH working 16 hours today. Boo!!
CS/Q: Temps seem all over the place. It looks like I've been dipping since the surge. First time temping (don't even have a full cycle in) not sure if this is regular or not. Trying to tell myself that the cover line is elevated since I had a few higher temps before O due to me temping later in the morning. FF had them as open circles. This morning it spiked back up but I have a funny feeling it was because my dog was barking at something in the wee mornings and I didn't manage to fall back asleep and temped about a 1/2 hour after.
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? Drive a car. Love the convenience and all the storage space. I wish I could say horse, but frankly they spook me. I visited a friend who lived on a horse farm, someone had me hold their horse, the horse snorted at me and I screamed. They took the reigns from me immediately afterwards.

Timing: not yet!! Cheapos 9 dpo, since we're going to be drinking over this next weekend (I tots can keep the secret from dh... or tell him to keep it a secret, right?! Haha... see how my willpower just erodes?)
R/R: not really... thanks for letting me vent yesterday about Cousin in law!! It is so nice to have a place to vent!
CS/Q: not really... I had a few beers last night and my temps are really high this a.m... and I got a really terrible nights sleep, so I'm debating tossing the temp.
GTKY: right now I use car mostly because of where we live and I have like a 45 minute commute to work... but if I had my choice probably bike!
@businesswife I feel like your timing is still pretty great!!
@MommytoM13 I'm a little jealous right now! What I would do to be on the beach on a vacation!

R/R: the TWW seems longer when you have been here since dpo1. When you have to wait 3 days for crosshairs then you only have a week before early testing.
Also pretty excited I got some decent creamy CM before my progesterone starts tonight, maybe I'm actually making some on my own for once. I haven't seen that in many cycles

R/R: DH and I got into a petty argument last night and after dinner and putting DD to bed he disappeared outside and started a fire (didn't tell me he was). Meanwhile, I did the dishes and unpacked the car. Thanks for not helping! I'm guessing what I thought was a stupid argument, he thought was more. I gave him his space and didn't join him at the fire. He's still not really talking to me this morning. This is so stupid!
CS/Q: Curious, my OBGYN has always said to come in after 6 months of trying and not succeeding TTC. How long does your OBGYN say?
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?
A car because I can put DD in and get stuff done. She loves the bike trailer but gets sick of it in 30 mins. Cars = convienance

Timing: -3,-1,O,+1
Testing: Meh. I have been feeling pessimistic about this cycle, but I'm sure I'll test in the next 3-4 days if AF doesn't show
R/R: Like I said, I'm just a Debbie Downer and feeling like I'm out this cycle. Even though I caved and bought this super adorable onesie the other day. I rationalized it by saying the colors are gender neutral and it has little elephants on it (I really love elephants). TWW makes me all kinds of crazy. And it doesn't help that all FB has been recently has been pregnancy announcements. Its starting to sting.
CS/Q: nah
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?Fun fact of the day, I do not know how to ride a bike. And DH is so allergic to horses that if I came home with horse hair on me he would be able to tell immediately. So it looks like its a car for me.

Testing: BFN on 9dpo, now just waiting on AF
R/R: I was so busy yesterday that I didn't think about TTGP and it was so nice at the end of the day to not have that burden on me. I obviously need a life because I think I spend way too much time stressing about getting KU now. Rant: my puppy just had diarrhea all over our outdoor rug
CS/Q: No
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car?Back where I'm originally from? A bike because it is beautiful outside and hardly any traffic. Now? Definitely a car. It is hot, dirty, and traffic is a bitch.
All that said, I know from plenty of women on here that many doctors still believe the "Every woman ovulates on CD14" nonsense, so I think I may have lucked out with my gyno.
@shstephenson I'm sorry you're feeling negative! FX for you!!
Month/Cycle: 10/5
CD/DPO: 36/10
Timing: Good
Testing: AF came on 11 or 12 dpo last time, so if she doesn't show I will probably test Wednesday. I always have the exact same cramps and lower back pain before AF arrives and nothing yet. FX!
R/R: I have kept myself very busy this weekend to try to avoid the temptation to test. I only have one HPT right now and I don't even want to see that single line. Also with my trigger I don't know if I would even trust a BFP right now. If this cycle isn't successful I'm definitely going to test out my trigger next time. Ran lots of errands, worked on the guest room that we are finally dealing with, and followed through on my plan to make lots of yummy food while DH was out of town! Also did some binge Gilmore Girls watching last night.

R/R: I wish it wasn't Sunday already...the weekends are far too short. Driving back from my parent's house today. The house we are renting flooded last week and has to be treated for mold, so we will be going straight there to run laundry, re pack our bags, and check into a hotel. Fun stuff.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Would you rather ride a bike, ride a horse, or drive a car? I'll take the car, thanks. I can't imagine not having the AC/heater in inclement weather and also love being able to sing along to my favorite songs while driving.@BusinessWife I had a big spike post-O this month, too. I can't attribute it to anything and I don't think it was false because it's stayed up. I think your timing was just fine, so try and put it out of your mind for the time being. What's done is done and you still got BDing in on some of the best days!
@Cait32 the open circles drive me crazy,too. I have a few too many this cycle and I don't like it one bit.
@adirat All of the hugs. I hope AF holds out, I also start spotting early in the LP and it gets me down.
@ClaireCF Gilmore Girls binges are the best kind!
@magnolia131 I hope you don't have to pay for that hotel out of pocket! What a pain.
@nelbetron I'd hold off on tossing the temp to see what happens over the next few days. Luckily you're on the right side of the crosshairs!
@adirat I hope your doctor can provide some insight for you. Hopefully there's a simple answer with a simple solution.

@ClaireCF Good work on the Guest room! Nice to stay busy. I am hoping to do the same the next couple weeks and not get too sucked into the stress of TTC or waiting to test... Easier said than done. ;)
@jeg07 9DPO is still way early. The rate of false-negatives drops way off around 11DPO, so I wouldn't give up hope yet!
@shstephenson Aww that onesie sounds cute. Don't be too hard on yourself, just blame the progesterone ;)
@bumpybump six months is a good recommendation for anyone who is charting with well-timed intercourse. The year things I think is more standard for people who may not be charting, may not actually end up with great timing etc. six months is a good guideline if you are 35+ or for anyone who is charting imho
@Cait32 Yess! At this point, it's all out of our hands anyway! But we can hope for lots of good news soon to come... ;)
@DungeonTrollMel Oh, but your chart is still so purdy, tho! and your timing! We got this.

@Nelbetron Thanks! If you've already got your CH, then don't even sweat it. Some people stop temping all together after they get CH. So no point in tossing it; just leave it in there with a note about drinking or whatever, and keep it moving ;) Luckily it happened after that critical point where you're trying to confirm O, so it's all good.
@SP128 Thanks! You have amazing timing this cycle! FX for you ;)
@adirat Thanks! it feels good to have so much of that behind us... I'm sorry you're feeling out. FX for your test in the morning and your doctor's appointment... (((hugs))) hopefully you can get some answers soon.
@Westy99 Your chart looks great! Don't even stress about it, you're here in TWW now, 3DPO crew lol That will be us in afew weeks here, all the patching, sanding painting etc. FUN TIMES! That's is awesom that you could help your friend with all that, cos it can be a real PITA, but doing it with a buddy makes it more fun. ;)
@hezzer78 you'll have to give me some lessons. I rode so little I would need a lot of practice to get up to snuff even as just a casual adult rider. But where we are moving, there's signs everywhere to slow down when horse and rider are present. I love it!
@felix08 Hey gurl! Just for you... <3 Sigh.

@TravelingCouple Aww, try to cheer up. Listen, at 5DPO NOBODY'S PREGNANT! That whole thing about, "I just knew something was different, I just FELT PREGNANT"??? That's a bunch of crap. At 5 DPO, implantation hasn't even happened yet, so please! Don't be silly! It's not over till the witch shows her face, and you are TOTALLY not out yet! :)
@AngelaPlus3 Hang in there! I try to remind myself, the chance of a false-negative, (i.e. COMPLETE AND UTTER WASTE OF A TEST), is way higher all the way up through 10 DPO. If you can even make it to 11DPO is so much better. My doctor suggested I might turn a test around 12DPO if KU, or else wait to test around 15DPO (that's with my average 13-14 day LP) Be strong!
@tripledaggerWed95976 Yay! Hooray for CH and one more in the 3DPO wave, right @Cait32 @DungeonTrollMel @BitterBetty12 (eta @West99 ) @Daisy621 Phew! So glad you have the most stressful part all over-with, but for the waiting... FX for you when you get your labs (I go in that same day, too! lol)
@maebee87 Sounds like a heavenly vacay to me, too!
@MommytoM13 Winning! Enjoy your vacation! ;)

I should have just let it go but then I went on Amazon and read reviews about how this test gave false negatives so now I'm back hoping.
