GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?

furbabymom2007

Month/Cycle: 13/14

CD/DPO: 25/12dpiui

Timing: good, IUI on O

Testing: BFNs since 10dpiui

R/R: technically I am supposed to wait until 14dpiui to test and quit progesterone if negative but let's not kid ourselves. When I get a Bfn tomorrow, I'll stop the progesterone. Then AF should be here Sunday and we'll start this circus all over again. 

Eta, for the record, I have had every pregnancy symptom known to womankind this cycle.  Don't symptom spot folks, you'll drive yourself nuts. 

CS/Q:  

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?

intelligent
stubborn
caring 

bumpybump

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: -5, -2, 0

Testing: May join the POAS party on Monday

R/R: When it rains it pours. Dishwasher broke last weekend and the new one if installed and running. Then last night I discover our shower leaking caused a break through in the ceiling in our finished basement and our carpet in the guest bedroom is soaked and stinks. Who knows when that happened since it's been a few days since we went into that room. Ugh. 

CS/Q: none

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?
(First three that came to mind for me) Stubborn, organized, honest

bornmommy

Edit - Taken down and moved to grad post. 

furbabymom2007

@bornmommy. Awesome for you. Love seeing that here today 

How about maybe read the newbie guide  again  and take your BFP out of your post and put it in the grad thread? Just a suggestion.

What she said, but also...you have been here a while....you should know better....



Status...BFN for the 7th month cycle / 10th month in a row..thanks for starting my morning off right.

ETA - Please don't leave your BFP chart here for us...please move it to the BFP grad thread...

felix08

@furbabymom2007 ugh I'm so sorry this cycle didn't work out for you. If it makes you feel better, I'll be joining you soon (and I know it probably won't make you feel better since you're a nice person and a good friend, but at least I can keep you company!). I just wish my clinic didn't make me come in for a beta--seems like a waste of time.
@bornmommy Congrats, but BFPs are meant to be posted in the grad thread to avoid hurting ladies who may be having a difficult TTC day. I know I definitely wasn't expecting to see that.

Month/Cycle: 13/13

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: -4, -2, IUI on 0

Testing: ugh, beta on the 26th and trying to decide if I want to test before to ease the blow.

R/R: So I've been having cramps and from reading this board, it must mean I'm KU! Just kidding, it's a tell tale sign that AF is coming. Although, I will admit that when I felt the cramps on cycle 1, I thought it was a good sign because it was a "symptom" I'd "never had before." Based on the fact that I've had LP cramps for the past 13 cycles, however, I'm going to assume they were always there, just never paid attention before TTC. Our minds are amazing.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?
goofy
smart
during TTC, erratic

Zoey1019

@felix08 @furbabymom2007 Hugs ladies.....

JennyV56

@bornmommy congrats!  Like @furbabymom2007 said, I think a BFP belongs in the grad thread to avoid upsetting the rest of us still wishing for the same.

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 23/9

Timing: -2, -1, +1

Testing: the 26th (13DPO)

R/R: only a couple more weeks till we close on our new house!  I'm already going Pinterest crazy looking for ideas!

CS/Q: no questions today

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you? Organized, competitive, honest

furbabymom2007

@felix08 what a bummer yeah, going in for betas has got to just add insult to injury. 

last time I called the office on cd1 to schedule a cd 3 ovary check, the nurse said "oh so that means it didn't work. Darn"

...I know she was just being nice but I am was sitting there going "um, yeah... Obviously" 

glitterfish-2

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 28/13

Timing: Was good

Testing: BFN two days ago, didn't bother today with the tiny spotting

R/R: Rave that DH has Saturday off! Rant that having two days off together a month feels like pressure to "do something special" but we haven't come up with any plans yet.

CS/Q: Can't think of any atm

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you? Colorful, bossy (I am not, he just never makes a damn decision on anything!), chronically LATE

swimsister

I go here now! It seems quiet over here compared to WTO

Month/Cycle: 6

CD/DPO: 17/3

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

Testing: Not yet.

R/R: DH rocks. He came home late last night after 14 hours of dealing with a crisis at work, hadn’t eaten dinner and the first thing he says to me is “Should we go do it?”. I was touched by his commitment to the cause, but told him we were past it and he should go eat the dinner I made him instead.

CS/Q: The closest thing I got to a positive OPK was on CD12, so that means I would O within the next 48 hours, not on that day specifically, right? My temps look pretty obvious for a CD14 O, but if I have that positive on CD 12 FF says I O’d then. That analysis doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Thoughts?

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you? Awesome, Teammate, Sexy (his word, not mine lol)

@bornmommy Congrats, but I agree with @furbabymom2007 's suggestion.

thj101

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 21/9

Timing: 0

Testing: not until late! surprisingly enough, this has been pretty easy to stick to... I'm not itching to pee on stuff yet. YET.

R/R:  none yet today...

CS/Q:  Last night I had a stomach ache and had eventually talked myself into it being implantation cramps... I'm pretty sure it was just gas though. The early signs of pregnancy are so vague, I seriously don't understand how people can actually think those are the gospel.

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?  laid back, pretty ,  and organized

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 19/8

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

Testing: Pee party on 9/26 if AF doesn't come sooner.

R/R: Rant: dropped back to cover today. Really hoping that it was just a fluke. 

Rave: it's fall! And the weather is going to get cooler this weekend! I am so excited and all that I want to do is go to the pumpkin patch!

CS/Q: Nope. 

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you? Compassionate, giving, and smart. 

shstephenson

@bornmommy congrats! I am truly happy for you! I really, really am. But this was not the place for it. Seeing a BFP when not expecting it was a bit like a punch in the gut. And it hurts a little more coming from a lady who posts regularly and (I assumed) knew the rules. That being said, congrats again. I wish you the happiest and healthiest 9 months!
 @JennyV56 Ahhh that's so exciting about your house! We purchased our first house in April and I was just like that with Pinterest!

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 17/6

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

Testing: TTGPee Party 9/26.

R/R: I am in a bit of a funk. And I think I will be until I get that bloodwork done Monday. TWW is for the birds.


CS/Q: My temp went wayyyy back up after a large dip yesterday. Thanks to all the ladies who told me to calm tf damn, I was only 5dpo. The idea of having an impossibly short LP scared me haha

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?
Stubborn (and glad to see some of you ladies are also described as such haha)
Planner (I am very Type A and I think it drives him crazy sometimes. I have to plan everything)
Funny (I'm a riot )

WillRunForWine21

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: FF says 27/12 i think more like 27/11

Timing: FF: -2, O and me:-3, -1, +1

Testing: BFN day 10 (9) probably will again tomorrow just to make sure for happy hour purposes

R/R: went to stock up o n some vitamins yesterday and they are just SO DARN EXPENSIVE, also I can use my flex spending card and just completely forgot so now I have to go through the reimbursement process which is annoying.

CS/Q: nope!

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?: eek, this one scares me, probably: nurturing, silly, bossy

Zoey1019

Unfortunately I think @bornmommy is more like....



because she knows...

Oh @furbabymom2007 I'm so sorry. Hugs coming your way. And hugs for everyone else who is having a tough day.

@bornmommy I am always happy for any loss mom to get their rainbow. Seriously. But you should have known better than to post that here.

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 21/8

Timing: 0, -2, -4

Testing: TTGPee Party on the 26th. And just to make it clear if anyone gets a bfp on that day ( I hope every single one of you do!) Do not post it here!!!

R/R: trying not to obsess over the huge temp spike I had this morning. Ahhhhhhh I hate ss. It always just hurts me more.

Intelligent
Feisty 
Sexy

shstephenson

@swimsister hey girl! Glad to see you over here! To answer your question, typically a positive OPK means you will O within the next 48 hours. Did you take another test on CD13/CD14 that was negative? That could be why FF is saying you O'd on CD12.

[Deleted User]

@Zoey1019  Unfortunately, I think you're totally right.  And then she says she appreciates ppl bringing the snark when needed.... I say...
<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/rc/mmfp7q9ouk10.gif" alt="">

Also, don't be swayed by that whole, "for today, I am pregnant," crap sob story.  If someone had a confusing situation like they were spotting but had a positive test, how about you PM one of your besties and run it by her, before blowing up the TWW???  Maybe?  No?  Okay then.

She 100% knew better and posted it anyway.

linzrunz

**lurking from WTO**

@swimsister try putting in a higher temp for tomorrow. Does FF change it? FF did that exact thing to me today. It says I O'ed on Cd17 (the day I got my first positive OPK), but a high temp tomorrow moves it to CD18-which coincides with the rest of my signs. 

Also, @BusinessWife ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yes to deleting the bfp, but I actually vote no to the grad thread. Might be better if she just quietly deletes the bfp and disappears to her bmb.

Month/Cycle: 2/2 

CD/DPO: 27/9 

Timing: -4, -2, O 

Testing: Monday with my Pee friends 

R/R: WTF is happening in TWW the last two days? 

Also, my temp dropped to my coverline and I'm cramping like a boss. I don't think I'll make it to Monday. But I hope there are a lot of BFPs (not posted here) out of the bunch!

I go here now!!! 

Month/Cycle: 2/2 ttcal 

CD/DPO: 18/3

Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 

Testing: Going to try to hold out until AF doesnt show.  (so that will be a while)

R/R: Im really excited about my timing this month.  My temps seemed to be all over the place before I O'd and I wasnt sure I would get the solid CH.  Last month, I mis-read some of my temps, and we ended up not having the best timing, and I was super bummed.  

CS/Q: none

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you? Cute, little (im only 5 feet tall), organized.  

swimsister

@shstephenson I did take more tests that were negative, I never truly turned a test this cycle. The one on CD 12 was significantly darker than usual, but not darker than the test line. Because of that, I don't feel to bad discarding it. OPKs really seem like they might be more stress than they're worth.

Month/Cycle: 13/14

CD/DPO: 22/10

Timing: -1, +1

Testing: on the 26th

R/R: I should have gotten my results back about my bloodwork by now, but my doctor's office is terrible at getting back to me with test results. I called and left a message this morning, so hopefully they call me back today.

CS/Q: none

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?
I wasn't sure so I asked him and he said intelligent, beautiful, and sane. I thought "sane" was a little weird to say, but apparently last night his professor told the class you can never find a person who is all three of those things. Apparently I'm one of a kind lol

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD/DPO: 25/10

Timing: good

Testing: maybe?? not yet though

R/R: So this is the LONGEST I've ever made it in the DPO category. I've been as short as 5 days, but not longer than 7. So stoked that the B6 seems to be helping. I'm also ovulating earlier in my cycle. #boom  I am trying not to get too excited or think it's something more than be being more "normal". 

CS/Q: Nada. 

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you? Oh gosh. Sarcastic, fickle, obsessive. The last 2 don't seem to go together, but when I get something in my head (like a new 

shstephenson

@swimsister yeah I wouldn't feel bad about discarding it either if it wasn't a real positive. You said if you include it then FF says you O'd CD12. Does it move to CD 14 when you remove it?

Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 26/???
Timing: EOD during "FW"
Testing: I failed at waiting today. BFN with FMU
R/R: Rant: looking for, and buying, a house is stressful. I went to two more houses yesterday but since seeing that farm house nothing wows me.
CS/Q: Nah.
GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you? Loving. Know-it-all (we both are). Sexy. First ones off the top of my head.

@furbabymom2007 @glitterfish @willrunforwine21 sorry for the BFNs ladies
@bumpybump sorry for all the things happening right now, that's rough!
@jennyV56 yay for the new house! I am hoping I get that feeling soon. Also I loooove pinterest
@bornmommy as it's already been said this was SERIOUSLY not the place to post your BFP. What made you think that way okay to do? Think about how you would have felt if you were one of us with BFNs having to see that...

Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 26/10
Timing: -5, -3, -1, +1
Testing: Either tomorrow or saturday if my temp is still above coverline when I check tomorrow
R/R: I can't believe it's already Thursday! I need more days off lol
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you? I asked him and he said faithful, loving, and crazy

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 29/14

Timing: -3,-2,-1,0

Testing: BFN this morning 

R/R: **********Tw************* I've been a little mia while I was visiting my sister and her new baby. I got to practice my photography skills with her and I impressed myself while editing them yesterday! She's adorable and I wish they lived closer so we could see them more often. ********End TW*********

CS/Q: I have no idea what my chart is doing. I wasn't going to test today since my temps have been going down on 11,12 and 13 DPO. But then it went up today when I expected it to fall below cover and AF start. But nothing so far. 2 bfn's a temp that went up and no period and the spotting I've been having is gone. At this point I'm pretty confident I'm not KU and just want AF to start so I can just start the next cycle... 


GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?
quiet, caring (sometimes too caring), and procrastinator 

thatcma

@seriouslysirius sorry about the BFN. I am right there with you on wanting AF to just get here and get over with.

jeg07

Gotta post and ghost today-- big day at work!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 23/4

Timing: -5, -4, -1, O

Testing: After AF (hoping to hold out)

R/R: I have such busy day today, I'm not sure if I'll even make it back on here. But at least it is almost Friday!

CS/Q:

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?
I actually had just asked him this question the other night, he said "beautiful, smart, kind" pretty run of the mill but I'll take it he does use those terms to describe me quite often so I think he means it

tripledaggerWed95976

I got crosshairs, yay!

Month/Cycle: 4/5

CD/DPO: 16/3

Timing: -1,O

Testing:

R/R: so happy to be in TWW again! Oh and I got my one year bump anniversary cake icon!

CS/Q:

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?
hmmm I think he would probably say beautiful, funny, and smart

ETA: wow a BFP announcement from a regular in the TWW thread.... Not cool @bornmommy

lulu1180

*lurking from WTO*
@bornmommy You should know better than to post a BFP in the TWW.  This is hurtful and disrespectful to those that got a BFN or are just having a rough TTC day.  I'm with everyone else that both the mention of the BFP and the CS gets taken down.  For the record, your TW is not enough because those that see it think you may be mentioning a friend and not talking about yourself.  And you may not even want to post in the grad thread at this point.  

swanbrooner

Me at this BFP in the TWW business:


Don't go claiming pregnancy brain either. 

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 22/8

Timing: Good! 

Testing: I'm trying to hold out for the great Pee, but if I want to drink on Saturday, I will test.

R/R: My temp. went back up today. My chart has never looked so pretty. Cue BSC BS. Also, our hallway custodian left chocolate chip cookies in the work room with a note saying, "Every day should be teacher appreciation day!"

CS/Q:

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?
Funny, stubborn, messy 

edit: mobile bumping is hard 

adirat

@furbabymom2007 Sorry for BFN I was really pulling for you.

@Krys So happy your LP is lengthening! I'm tentatively thinking mine might be too since I haven't started spotting yet so I know the joy! Yay for you!

@Seriouslysirius Sounds like a great trip I've never seen a chart like yours in the LP before, but with the spike today, I definitely would have given into the BSC. Good for you staying away from it.

Also, so much drama in TWW today and yesterday! What is happening? I feel like I need a "slowly backing away" gif in my back pocket now...

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: CD24/7dpo

Timing: 0, -1, -3

Testing: Monday partayyyy

R/R: Well, I haven't started spotting yet (which started at 6dpo every cycle I've charted so far), so that's a good thing! I hope my LP is lengthening with the B vitamins and elimination of soy foods.

I saw my gynecologist yesterday, and she was concerned about my low progesterone blood test at 8dpo last cycle. We talked about progesterone supplementation, and she suggested that if it isn't this cycle (she's more hopeful than I am, ha) I come in for an ultrasound around CD10 to see what my ovaries look like given my serious (and uneven) ovulation pain. This should show whether I have endometriomas on my ovaries causing the pain. At that point we can decide about next steps, likely including an AMH check, an HSG, and an SA for my husband. (I mentioned this to him and he got really pale, but he eventually said he would do it, so...) It's nice that she took my pain and short LPs seriously and has some next steps for me in the next few months.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?

He recently described me to someone as "smart but also a smartass" so something along those lines. I'm rolling my eyes as I type this.

swanbrooner

@krys My LP was slightly longer last cycle and I O'd 3 days earlier than usual this time. So, we might be decent  anecdotal evidence for the case for B6.

[Deleted User]

@adirat I guessss I could be mistaken but I am like 99.9% sure that endo doesn't show up on an ultrasound.  The only way to diagnose that I believe is to do a lap.

Aurora1973

What a rough TTC day for most of us!  Hugs to everyone who is having a hard day.

I'm just popping in to share with everyone who is struggling with/worried about short LP.  While I'm completely bummed and tearful that today is CD1 for me, I am happy to report that I made it through 12DPO this cycle.  My last two cycles were 10 and 11.  This is purely my experience, and anecdotal, but going back to acupuncture did help.  I've been taking B6 as well, although my acupuncturist just put me on an herbal supplement that has a more bio-available B6, as well as other herbs that are meant to improve progesterone.  She said that the P5P version is absorbed much better.

So for @ahrains, @adirat, @krys, and anyone else who is struggling, I think acupuncture, especially from someone who specializes in fertility, is worth a shot.  FX you find something that works!
