@Kiki75 YESS I love hot wings. I've actually been using buffalo sauce as salad dressing this week because I've been craving wings but trying to be healthy.

you and your party @Kiki75!

Thank you so much @mrsdaddario @felix08 and @Saralee797 for your added support. I'm so relieved (weird word since no one's RE should be uneducated on charting...) to know that the RE I saw isn't the only one scoffing at charting. I'm definitely not going to stop since it gives me great insight into my cycles. At least I know there is some sort of problem with my shorter LP and I definitely think some of it has to do with when I was breastfeeding DS. I am definitely going to do the blood work, that's step 1, and hopefully that'll shed some light on things. Whether it's to say that all is well there or tackle an issue straight away. DH will do the SA too since it's not too hard to cum in a cup, ahem, super side eye that that's all he has to do..haha...

The support from you all is exactly what I needed today, thank you so much. It means a lot to have women who really *GET* it and aren't just there-there-ing me. My friend and family mean well, but telling me not to stress because it doesn't help me get pregnant makes me want to throat punch someone. You ladies make me wish I could give you each a hug, and glass of wine!

Month/Cycle: 13/11

CD/DPO: 29/~13 (estimate by OPK)

Timing:  -4, -2, -1, O

Testing: BFN yesterday at ~12 DPO, at this point just waiting for AF (and I have killer cramps to tell me I don't have long to wait).  When I charted late last year I had a 12-13 day LP, so should be today or tomorrow.  (Though my RE assures me that _all_ LPs are exactly 14 days long and I must have been interpreting my temperature shift incorrectly.  LOL.)

R/R: Looks like I missed quite a day on TWW.  I took a Bump hiatus and haven't been around since about last December. Took me about 2 minutes back, tops, to notice that BFPs had been moved off TWW (in fact I mentioned this yesterday in the Newbie thread).  Hmmmmm.

GTKY: What three words would your DH/SO use to describe you?  Wow I have no idea, umm... Fiery, writer, stubborn.  I'll have to ask him later if I got it right.

@BMPNAB I have creamy CM leading up to my period every month. I'll typically get around 12-24 hours heads up on my period starting when my CM starts getting more watery and less thick and creamy. Otherwise it's creamy from the day after O (or possible 2 days after O) till the 12-24 hours before I start bleeding. Every single cycle.

I know the interest says that CM "should" dry up following O and "should" remain dry till after menstruation when you start approaching the fertile window again. But I've found that CM patterns, much like cervix patterns, are pretty unique to each person. My CM is creamy up to my period and then creamy again within a day of finishing bleeding/spotting. 

Once you've been checking your CM for a couple of cycles you'll learn what's normal for you.

@NamelessAria Thanks girl   That is why I am loving having a place like this to talk to you all.  The websites that just have generalised articles on TTC can make a girl go crazy.  I don't even know what normal is for me, I was 18 and younger last time I've had normal cycles.  On BCP I didn't have much CM so all this CM is just weird to me!  Didn't know we could get so creamy down there allllllllll the freaking time, tmi? haha.  You are all great.

@BMPNAB I'm one of those who gets globs of creamy CM up until AF. If I don't wear a pantiliner I'm changing my underwear 3 times a day. 

Mobile bumping at work. At least it's Friday here. To lazy to copy and paste....

CD 23 and 7DPO
all my usual AF symptoms. I even had to remove the padding from my bra this morning to make it fit since my boobs grow a ton before AF. (It's a push-up with removable padding like a bikini) 

I tested this am for drinking purposes (my cm/cp shows O a few days earlier than the OPK) and it was a bfn as expected.
