Testing Plans: tested this morning because I'm drinking a little bit tonight....and bc I'm a loser. BFN. Of course I look at it after the time frame and see a squinter. FML. Now I'm analyzing lines that don't count. I make myself sick.
Thoughts, vents, etc: my lack of symptoms still worries me. I usually have REALLY sore boobs after O...but nothing. I'm even on progesterone and all I feel is a little bloated. I had/have such high hopes that this would be "it" because we were actually doing something a little extra to help my LPD and our timing was amazeballs.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? I loveeeee taco dip!! and sangria!
Any plans for the weekend?? I have girls night tonight after work and I'm shooting a wedding tomorrow. Then Sunday DH comes home from his trip!!
Timing:
Testing Plans: Maybe next Friday if I make it to 13 DPO.
Thoughts, vents, etc: Mehhh
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Drink - Mudslides, snack - chips! Going to bake a birthday cake for my niece's first birthday.
Thoughts, vents, etc: I got dotted CHs today because my temp was down a bit from the last two and I only have 4 pre O temps to compare to....anyone else get "fallback rises" on 3 dpo?
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? I am a red wine girl and anything cheese as a snack!We have dinner with our best friends tonight and Father's Day stuff on Sunday, nothing exciting
My Babies! Tried for one full year before we got our BFP!
What I want is what I've not got, but what I need is all around me -DMB
Thoughts, vents, etc: Had red spotting yesterday. Woke up this morning to quite a bit of red. I'm hesitant to call cd1 after a 5 day LP, so I'm going to wait a few more hours. I would just chalk it up to a wonky cycle, but I need to call my RE's office on CD1, so it matters more than normal. Bleh. Figures heading into our first treament cycle my body decides to go AWOL.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Margaritas. Hands down. Tonight we're having dinner with H's mother and grandmother. Tomorrow he's headed out of town for a bachelor party. I have a friend coming over. We'll be drinking the above mentioned.
Trying to get knocked up since June 2012 ~ Dx: PCOS
Testing Plans: Still on holding pattern until 14 dpo
Thoughts, vents, etc: The complete lack of symptoms is a little disconcerting, trying not to read too much into it. Or over analyze all of my temps.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Bellinis, yum. We're going out for a housewarming party this weekend, kind of excited to see the place.
Thoughts, vents, etc: I'm trying pineapple core this month. I think the longer I go without getting pregnant, the crazier I feel. I was walking around chewing on pineapple core yesterday and was like, so this has what it comes to... it made me laugh.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? I don't drink often, but when I go out with girlfriends I usually like to sample whatever seasonal beer is available. As for this weekend, preparing to move next week and having my parents and brother's family over for Father's day.
Thoughts, vents, etc: I'm skeptical that I'm even in the 2WW at this point trying to be positive though. Woke up to spotting this morning and have all sorts of other PMS symptoms so I think I'm just going to have the worlds shortest LP or my temps will dip back down tomorrow and my CH will disappear.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Mojitos or Margaritas!! Tomorrow is my best friends wedding and I have a big paper due Sunday. It's gonna be a busy weekend!!
Jan15 December Siggy Challenge: Holiday Fails
TTC Since 4/13 | Me: 28 DH: 29 | DX: PCOS + High T + Arcuate Uterus (11/13)
Thoughts, vents, etc: Last night I went to use the bathroom and noticed the toilet seat was a purple/blue color (in the shape of my bum). I couldn't wash it off. I asked DH to look. I googled "toilet seat has turned purple". First two results pulled it up as a sign of pregnancy. What?! Confused but skeptical, I read on... Long story short some pregnant people claim this happens because their progesterone level is high. I, on the other hand, think I know what it is - I was wearing black yoga pants (not new, new but have probably only been washed 2 times) and I think the color rubbed off on my skin and made my toilet seat purple. That's the only logical thing I can come up with. I know this was long winded, but honestly, is everything a freaking pregnancy symptom?
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Sangria! DH is going to the cape and I'm hanging back to spend some quality time with my girlfriends
Testing Plans: tested this morning and got a BFN. I'll test again on Sunday if AF doesn't show.
Thoughts, vents, etc: WTF body! Give me period or positive test already! I HATE the waiting! No spotting or period symptoms except extreme bloat. I expected my period yesterday so I'm late...
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any type of dip. I guess girls night drink would be margaritas, although I mostly prefer to drink wine and beer over mixed drinks.
Any plans for the weekend?? Going for a hike tomorrow morning on a nearby island. I've heard that there are caves that you can explore during low tide, so I'm super excited about that! I love caves!

bahaha!! awesome! i once thought I had the biggest bruise on my leg b/c of wearing brand new black yoga pants without washing them. My H was so concerned - but pretty soon we realized it was just the pants. That's a great story!
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? I love cheese fries. I don't drink much, but I would say Strawberry Daiquiri or a Beer.
Any plans for the weekend?? DH has family from out of town tomorrow so we will visit with them. Sunday is my birthday/Father's Day so I will be hanging out with my dad.

Testing Plans: really trying to wait until I'm officially "late" but we'll see... may cave at DPO 12
Thoughts, vents, etc: this is only the 2nd month I've charted with temping and the temps this month are so different from last month - actually got the CH! I've been having cramps and bloating and while I'm chalking it up to O pains, I've never felt anything like it in previous months. I know that I'm sort of desperate to see anything as a "sign" so I guess we'll just wait and see... this waiting stuff sucks! LOL!
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend? Favorite summer drink is margaritas, otherwise I love Champagne! I'm going out to my Dad's house for some Pontoon-ing this weekend while DH stays behind to work... Hate his schedule in the summer! But gotta pay the bills
**Have to say that you ladies (in this thread especially) make me smile! You're all so encouraging! Hope you all have an awesome Friday and weekend!! Hopefully your weather is nice - not like here in Beantown where it's pouring rain! Oh and GO B's!!
Thoughts, vents, etc: The first half of this cycle was weird. I'm not sure if it will turn into anything or not.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? I love guacamole! Any plans for the weekend?? Our only plans for the weekend revolve around reorganizing and cleaning the house. Boo--but it needs to be done.
Me: 37--Thyroid Cancer survivor. H:38. DS born 6/22/2011; BFP#2--11/5/12--Missed miscarriage discovered 12/21/2012. BFP#3--5/20/14--another MMC 6/16/14.
Testing Plans: Father's Day - if temps haven't started to drop
Thoughts, vents, etc: Charting question re temps. I went to bed at 9:30 last night and then woke up at 2 and temped (i thought it was my wake up time - not sure why...I think the light from the street made me think it was sun!). Anyways, it was 98.89. I went back to bed and then woke up at 4 to use the bathroom. And then finally up at 6:15 and temped and it was 97.90. These temps are pretty different and I'm wondering which one to use. I would say the first one b/c I had the 3 hours + of sleep but it's just a bit higher than normal and I normally temp closer to the 6:15 time. Thoughts? (My temps have been in the 98.3-98.6 range the past couple days.)
GTKY: Hmm, girls night drink? Margaritas (with mexican food!). Snack? Probably chips and salsa - maybe some queso dip. Plans for the weekend? Tonight, we having another couple over for pizza night. Tomorrow, I don't think anything really. I'm sure we'll find something to get out of the house though. And Sunday, I'm surprising my H for Father's Day by going to this all-you-can eat meat place (exotic meats). I'm so excited for Sunday
**Have to say that you ladies (in this thread especially) make me smile! You're all so encouraging! Hope you all have an awesome Friday and weekend!! Hopefully your weather is nice - not like here in Beantown where it's pouring rain! Oh and GO B's!!
This weather is awful. Since you're in Boston I figured I'd ask... Do you listen to Matty in the morning? They just played a clip from a country song about a guy who likes rain because it grows corn and corn makes whiskey and whiskey makes his baby frisky haha. I love the morning show. And yes, Go B's!

OMG! the weather is so awful! I'm so sick of it!! But, it's supposed to get nice later today and the weekend looks fantastic - fingers crossed! Yes, I listen to Matty everyday! haha... he's hilarious! and while I didn't hear that clip of the song, I know exactly what song it is... I have a 1.5 hour drive each way and listening to him in the morning make it so much more enjoyable! Really hoping for a W tomorrow night!!

I'd go with the first one, even though it was before your normal temping time.

Thoughts, vents, etc: My temp is still up this morning, which is making me feel pretty hopeful for tomorrow. Other than that, I have some bloating, sometimes some cramps, but not a whole lot else. Last time, I really felt like I was pregnant and that I knew the test would be positive before I took it. I don't feel like that this time, but still trying to be optimistic!
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? I'm a wine girl! That is our standard drink when we all get together for our book club every month!
Any plans for the weekend?? We are going to be doing some work in the backyard to get a play area set up for DS. I'm excited, but it's going to be a lot of work. We also have our nephew's graduation party tomorrow and will see my dad for Father's Day on Sunday.
Thoughts, vents, etc: Started spotting yesterday, more spotting this morning with a temp drop. I'm out. I did go to my new RE yesterday though, and I like her a metric FLUCKTON more than my last one. She actually explained the results of the testing I've had so far, including that my TSH levels were higher than she would want for TTC even though it was technically in a normal range. Yeah, didn't know that from before. I also got more of an explanation and analysis about my HCG that my old RE never explained, never followed up with me, and never called me back on when I called the office about it. Yep, switching was absolutely the right decision. And new RE explained more about IUI and everything that would entail.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? I'm all about the wine now, but if I'm going out to a bar (which is rare these days) that gets expensive so it's usually beer or possibly a Captain n Diet or gin n tonic.

Timing: O-3, O-1, O+1 (Is it better to hit O or O-1? I've read conflicting information online)
Testing Plans: Since this is my first cycle, I'm still debating when I should start testing. (Or debating how patient I can be!) I'm thinking I'll try to wait until 12 DPO which would be a week from tomorrow.
Thoughts, vents, etc: The phantom symptoms are the worst! I know it's way too early to have any sort of symptoms but it doesn't stop me from analyzing every single twinge, ache, etc.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? I'm a beer girl - bud light lime is my favorite! Hmm, I like chips and dip! This weekend we're heading down to my parent's house to celebrate Father's Day.
Testing Plans:
I'm thinking probably next Saturday.
Thoughts, vents, etc:
Ughh! I woke up to temp at regular time, and my thermometer beeped really early with a super low temp. It then started beeping again and changed the temp. I turned it off and on again and got an ambiguous temp. I think it is on the fritz, or I guess it's possible I didn't O yet??
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? I love cosmos or other martini-type drinks for girls night. I usually only drink wine, so it's fun to have something different every once in a while. We are going to be relaxing at home for the first time in 5 weekends, so I am strangely excited for loafing about!
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Favourite drink other than wine is a nice Mojito, Snack is Bruschettas
BFN. Of course I look at it after the time frame and see a squinter. FML. Now I'm analyzing lines that don't count. I make myself sick.
It's still early, chin up buttercup! Your chart is pretty!

Thoughts, vents, etc: I have got to calm down and remind myself that the chances every cycle are only 20% so I need to stop being so hopeful this cycle.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Peach schnapps and lemon Perrier; pesto tortellini.
DH is working on the farm all weekend so I have the house to myself. Saturday my sister is coming over to get ready for a date and my cousin just moved into the neighborhood across the street from mine, so I'm going to help her figure out where the furniture should go.
Testing Plans: would like to wait until sunday or monday but it will most likely be tomorrow. it took everything in me not to POAS this morning
Thoughts, vents, etc: i still have no symptoms of anything
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? I love some vodka and orange and pineapple juice. I am a vodka girls. Chips and salsa are my favorite

Testing Plans: Another faint line this am. Fainter than yesterday. Hopefully we are coming to close.
Thoughts, vents, etc:After that cp/beta thread, I decided to go ahead and call my doctor. I left a message to see what she suggests I do. The bleeding is really heavy, the line has gotten fainter. I'm not here this weekend and next week is my last week of school so it will be hard to take off with everything going on... I don't know. I just want it to be over.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? beer or tequila. This weekend is the weekend from hell that just keeps getting worse. I just found out yesterday we (DH, our one year old, and I) will be staying in a camper with my FIL. .. no running water. We will have to trek to SILs house for even going to the bathroom. UGH

GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? I don't really do girls night. All of my friends live a few hours away, and the ones I've met that live close have small children and we only get together for playdates. The ones that would go out, I still don't go out with them. If anything, I might go have lunch with a girlfriend. So, to answer the question probably pop. And snack, probably soft pretzels with cheese. Plans for the weekend include visiting family for Father's Day.

Well that would be a funny story to tell.
Im sorry about everything you're going through. Hopefully your doctor can give you some peace of mind. You're in my thoughts.
Testing Plans: This is my first month charting after getting my period back PP, so I have no clue what my LP will look like. It used to be 11 days, so I'm planning to wait it out for now. If I get to 14 DPO, I'll test.
Thoughts, vents, etc: None really. Don't have a ton of hope for this cycle, but that's cool, we're just starting out.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Hmm. I basically just love food, in general. Don't really drink much. Lately, though, I've been craving a margarita with some chips and salsa on a patio. Hell.yeah.
Any plans for the weekend?? Hanging out with the fam, doing some yard work and errands. Sunday we're going to the Children's Museum and out for dinner for Father's Day.

Haha!! With DS I tested after DH was at work for the day and told him when he got home. This time, he said he wants to be there when I test so we can find out together, one way or the other. Saturday will be best so that I don't have to test and then have him leave for work right away. This is probably the only reason I haven't yet!

I'm so sorry. I hope everything is resolved quickly for you.
Timing: if FF is right, then timing was great. Me thinks it just picked that day cause its the 14th. but my temping wasn't great this month.
Testing Plans: im not super anxious like last month, I think that we maybe didn't have the best timing despite FF. So, ill probably wait a pretty long time.
Thoughts, vents, etc: I really hope my DH doesn't freak out if we don't get KU this month. Also, i really want to see a chiropractor for this trapped nerve thats been bugging me for months.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? umm anything with the girls is great!
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Wine, beer or sangria, we aren't that fancy.

Thoughts, vents, etc: my lack of symptoms still worries me. I usually have REALLY sore boobs after O...but nothing. I'm even on progesterone and all I feel is a little bloated.

Thoughts, vents, etc: Had red spotting yesterday. Woke up this morning to quite a bit of red. I'm hesitant to call cd1 after a 5 day LP, so I'm going to wait a few more hours. I would just chalk it up to a wonky cycle, but I need to call my RE's office on CD1, so it matters more than normal. Bleh. Figures heading into our first treament cycle my body decides to go AWOL.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Margaritas. Hands down. Tonight we're having dinner with H's mother and grandmother. Tomorrow he's headed out of town for a bachelor party. I have a friend coming over. We'll be drinking the above mentioned.

I don't drink often, but when I go out with girlfriends I usually like to sample whatever seasonal beer is available. As for this weekend, preparing to move next week and having my parents and brother's family over for Father's day.
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 28/3
Timing: minus 3 and minus 1
Testing Plans: If I make it to 12 DPO.
Thoughts, vents, etc: I'm skeptical that I'm even in the 2WW at this point trying to be positive though. Woke up to spotting this morning and have all sorts of other PMS symptoms so I think I'm just going to have the worlds shortest LP or my temps will dip back down tomorrow and my CH will disappear.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Mojitos or Margaritas!! Tomorrow is my best friends wedding and I have a big paper due Sunday. It's gonna be a busy weekend!!
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 18/4
Timing: good o-5, -3, -1, o, o+1
Testing Plans: 11dpo
Thoughts, vents, etc: Last night I went to use the bathroom and noticed the toilet seat was a purple/blue color (in the shape of my bum). I couldn't wash it off. I asked DH to look. I googled "toilet seat has turned purple". First two results pulled it up as a sign of pregnancy. What?! Confused but skeptical, I read on... Long story short some pregnant people claim this happens because their progesterone level is high. I, on the other hand, think I know what it is - I was wearing black yoga pants (not new, new but have probably only been washed 2 times) and I think the color rubbed off on my skin and made my toilet seat purple. That's the only logical thing I can come up with. I know this was long winded, but honestly, is everything a freaking pregnancy symptom?
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Sangria! DH is going to the cape and I'm hanging back to spend some quality time with my girlfriends
Yippeeee! Happy Friday!!!!!
Cycle/Month: 3 (2 while charting)
CD/DPO: 31/13
Timing: awesome
Testing Plans: tested this morning and got a BFN. I'll test again on Sunday if AF doesn't show.
Thoughts, vents, etc: WTF body! Give me period or positive test already! I HATE the waiting! No spotting or period symptoms except extreme bloat. I expected my period yesterday so I'm late...
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any type of dip. I guess girls night drink would be margaritas, although I mostly prefer to drink wine and beer over mixed drinks.
Any plans for the weekend?? Going for a hike tomorrow morning on a nearby island. I've heard that there are caves that you can explore during low tide, so I'm super excited about that! I love caves!
LOL that is so funny!
bahaha!! awesome! i once thought I had the biggest bruise on my leg b/c of wearing brand new black yoga pants without washing them. My H was so concerned - but pretty soon we realized it was just the pants. That's a great story!
CD/DPO: 17/5
Timing: O minus 3, 2, 1
Testing Plans: holding out for AF
Thoughts, vents, etc: nope
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? I love cheese fries. I don't drink much, but I would say Strawberry Daiquiri or a Beer.
Any plans for the weekend?? DH has family from out of town tomorrow so we will visit with them. Sunday is my birthday/Father's Day so I will be hanging out with my dad.
Cycle/Month: (since charting) 2/2

CD/DPO: 17/4
Timing: good
Testing Plans: really trying to wait until I'm officially "late" but we'll see... may cave at DPO 12
Thoughts, vents, etc: this is only the 2nd month I've charted with temping and the temps this month are so different from last month - actually got the CH! I've been having cramps and bloating and while I'm chalking it up to O pains, I've never felt anything like it in previous months. I know that I'm sort of desperate to see anything as a "sign" so I guess we'll just wait and see... this waiting stuff sucks! LOL!
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend? Favorite summer drink is margaritas, otherwise I love Champagne! I'm going out to my Dad's house for some Pontoon-ing this weekend while DH stays behind to work... Hate his schedule in the summer! But gotta pay the bills
**Have to say that you ladies (in this thread especially) make me smile! You're all so encouraging! Hope you all have an awesome Friday and weekend!! Hopefully your weather is nice - not like here in Beantown where it's pouring rain! Oh and GO B's!!
CD/DPO: 17/2
Timing: Okay
Testing Plans: Don't know yet
Thoughts, vents, etc: The first half of this cycle was weird. I'm not sure if it will turn into anything or not.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? I love guacamole! Any plans for the weekend?? Our only plans for the weekend revolve around reorganizing and cleaning the house. Boo--but it needs to be done.
Cycle/Month: 14/14 (5th post loss)
CD/DPO: 30/8
Timing: 0-4,0-3,0-2,0-1
Testing Plans: Father's Day - if temps haven't started to drop
Thoughts, vents, etc: Charting question re temps. I went to bed at 9:30 last night and then woke up at 2 and temped (i thought it was my wake up time - not sure why...I think the light from the street made me think it was sun!). Anyways, it was 98.89. I went back to bed and then woke up at 4 to use the bathroom. And then finally up at 6:15 and temped and it was 97.90. These temps are pretty different and I'm wondering which one to use. I would say the first one b/c I had the 3 hours + of sleep but it's just a bit higher than normal and I normally temp closer to the 6:15 time. Thoughts? (My temps have been in the 98.3-98.6 range the past couple days.)
GTKY: Hmm, girls night drink? Margaritas (with mexican food!). Snack? Probably chips and salsa - maybe some queso dip. Plans for the weekend? Tonight, we having another couple over for pizza night. Tomorrow, I don't think anything really. I'm sure we'll find something to get out of the house though. And Sunday, I'm surprising my H for Father's Day by going to this all-you-can eat meat place (exotic meats). I'm so excited for Sunday
This weather is awful. Since you're in Boston I figured I'd ask... Do you listen to Matty in the morning? They just played a clip from a country song about a guy who likes rain because it grows corn and corn makes whiskey and whiskey makes his baby frisky haha. I love the morning show. And yes, Go B's!
OMG! the weather is so awful! I'm so sick of it!! But, it's supposed to get nice later today and the weekend looks fantastic - fingers crossed! Yes, I listen to Matty everyday! haha... he's hilarious! and while I didn't hear that clip of the song, I know exactly what song it is... I have a 1.5 hour drive each way and listening to him in the morning make it so much more enjoyable! Really hoping for a W tomorrow night!!
I'd go with the first one, even though it was before your normal temping time.

Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 33/13
Timing: O-4, -3, -2, -1, O, O+1
Testing Plans: Tomorrow
Thoughts, vents, etc: My temp is still up this morning, which is making me feel pretty hopeful for tomorrow. Other than that, I have some bloating, sometimes some cramps, but not a whole lot else. Last time, I really felt like I was pregnant and that I knew the test would be positive before I took it. I don't feel like that this time, but still trying to be optimistic!
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? I'm a wine girl! That is our standard drink when we all get together for our book club every month!
Any plans for the weekend?? We are going to be doing some work in the backyard to get a play area set up for DS. I'm excited, but it's going to be a lot of work. We also have our nephew's graduation party tomorrow and will see my dad for Father's Day on Sunday.
Cycle/Month: 12/15
CD/DPO: 34/13
Timing: Not good enough
Testing Plans: No more testing, I think I'm out
Thoughts, vents, etc: Started spotting yesterday, more spotting this morning with a temp drop. I'm out. I did go to my new RE yesterday though, and I like her a metric FLUCKTON more than my last one. She actually explained the results of the testing I've had so far, including that my TSH levels were higher than she would want for TTC even though it was technically in a normal range. Yeah, didn't know that from before. I also got more of an explanation and analysis about my HCG that my old RE never explained, never followed up with me, and never called me back on when I called the office about it. Yep, switching was absolutely the right decision. And new RE explained more about IUI and everything that would entail.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? I'm all about the wine now, but if I'm going out to a bar (which is rare these days) that gets expensive so it's usually beer or possibly a Captain n Diet or gin n tonic.
CD/DPO: 17/4
Timing: O-3, O-1, O+1 (Is it better to hit O or O-1? I've read conflicting information online)
Testing Plans: Since this is my first cycle, I'm still debating when I should start testing. (Or debating how patient I can be!) I'm thinking I'll try to wait until 12 DPO which would be a week from tomorrow.
Thoughts, vents, etc: The phantom symptoms are the worst! I know it's way too early to have any sort of symptoms but it doesn't stop me from analyzing every single twinge, ache, etc.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? I'm a beer girl - bud light lime is my favorite! Hmm, I like chips and dip! This weekend we're heading down to my parent's house to celebrate Father's Day.
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD/DPO: 17/3
Timing: O-4, O-2, O-1, O
Testing Plans: I'm thinking probably next Saturday.
Thoughts, vents, etc: Ughh! I woke up to temp at regular time, and my thermometer beeped really early with a super low temp. It then started beeping again and changed the temp. I turned it off and on again and got an ambiguous temp. I think it is on the fritz, or I guess it's possible I didn't O yet??
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? I love cosmos or other martini-type drinks for girls night. I usually only drink wine, so it's fun to have something different every once in a while. We are going to be relaxing at home for the first time in 5 weekends, so I am strangely excited for loafing about!
TGIF!
Cycle/Month: 11
CD/DPO: 30/11

Testing Plans: None
Thoughts, vents, etc: Waiting for AF
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Favourite drink other than wine is a nice Mojito, Snack is Bruschettas

It's still early, chin up buttercup! Your chart is pretty!
FX for you!!
Cycle/Month: 15/21
CD/DPO: 25/8
Timing: good
Testing Plans: Sunday.
Thoughts, vents, etc: I have got to calm down and remind myself that the chances every cycle are only 20% so I need to stop being so hopeful this cycle.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Peach schnapps and lemon Perrier; pesto tortellini.
DH is working on the farm all weekend so I have the house to myself. Saturday my sister is coming over to get ready for a date and my cousin just moved into the neighborhood across the street from mine, so I'm going to help her figure out where the furniture should go.

Testing Plans: Another faint line this am. Fainter than yesterday. Hopefully we are coming to close.
Thoughts, vents, etc:After that cp/beta thread, I decided to go ahead and call my doctor. I left a message to see what she suggests I do. The bleeding is really heavy, the line has gotten fainter. I'm not here this weekend and next week is my last week of school so it will be hard to take off with everything going on... I don't know. I just want it to be over.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? beer or tequila. This weekend is the weekend from hell that just keeps getting worse. I just found out yesterday we (DH, our one year old, and I) will be staying in a camper with my FIL. .. no running water. We will have to trek to SILs house for even going to the bathroom. UGH

GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? I don't really do girls night. All of my friends live a few hours away, and the ones I've met that live close have small children and we only get together for playdates. The ones that would go out, I still don't go out with them. If anything, I might go have lunch with a girlfriend. So, to answer the question probably pop. And snack, probably soft pretzels with cheese. Plans for the weekend include visiting family for Father's Day.
Thanks EmeJay!
Well that would be a funny story to tell.
Im sorry about everything you're going through. Hopefully your doctor can give you some peace of mind. You're in my thoughts.

Testing Plans: This is my first month charting after getting my period back PP, so I have no clue what my LP will look like. It used to be 11 days, so I'm planning to wait it out for now. If I get to 14 DPO, I'll test.
Thoughts, vents, etc: None really. Don't have a ton of hope for this cycle, but that's cool, we're just starting out.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Hmm. I basically just love food, in general. Don't really drink much. Lately, though, I've been craving a margarita with some chips and salsa on a patio. Hell.yeah.
Any plans for the weekend?? Hanging out with the fam, doing some yard work and errands. Sunday we're going to the Children's Museum and out for dinner for Father's Day.
Haha!! With DS I tested after DH was at work for the day and told him when he got home. This time, he said he wants to be there when I test so we can find out together, one way or the other. Saturday will be best so that I don't have to test and then have him leave for work right away. This is probably the only reason I haven't yet!
I'm so sorry. I hope everything is resolved quickly for you.
CD/DPO: CD20/DPO6?
Timing: if FF is right, then timing was great. Me thinks it just picked that day cause its the 14th. but my temping wasn't great this month.
Testing Plans: im not super anxious like last month, I think that we maybe didn't have the best timing despite FF. So, ill probably wait a pretty long time.
Thoughts, vents, etc: I really hope my DH doesn't freak out if we don't get KU this month. Also, i really want to see a chiropractor for this trapped nerve thats been bugging me for months.
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? umm anything with the girls is great!
DD: 4-5-14
Cycle/Month: 2/3

Testing Plans: 12DPO if I make it that far
Thoughts, vents, etc: None
GTKY: what's your favorite girls night drink and/or snack? Any plans for the weekend?? Wine, beer or sangria, we aren't that fancy. Snacks are usually chips, veggies and dip etc. We are actually going out for a girls night tomorrow night, doing something for DH for Father's Day on Sunday, not sure what though!
