  • DPO: 5

    Testing Plans: I bought a dollar store cheapie yesterday that I plan on using at 12 or 13 DPO which is the day AF is suppose to show up.

    How are you feeling about this cycle?  Do you have any phantom symptoms: My boobs were sore yesterday and I'm breaking out but that could be because AF is suppose to show next week. I realize it's way too soon to have any symptoms!

    GTKY: What is your favorite thing to cook? Mmmmm, I love to bake so probably chocolate chip cookies

  • DPO: 15

    Testing Plans: AF is about to hit me, so I'm pretty sure I'm out for this round. If she doesn't show by Friday, I'll test. I had a BFN on Saturday.

    How are you feeling about this cycle? I give up on this one. My cramps feel like AF is coming, and my temp went back down.

    Do you have any phantom symptoms: exhausted all month and my breasts hurt, but looks like they were ghosties and not legit symptoms.

    GTKY: What is your favorite thing to cook? Stuffed peppers are on top of my list. Also anything remotely Italian.

  • DPO: FF says 4 today but yesterday it would have been 5

    Testing Plans: I'm going to wait until at least July 8th. This is my first cycle charting and my first 2ww so I'm interested to see what happens!

    Feeling?: Im feeling ok about this cycle but it's still early, so I'm just trying to go with the flow!

    Favorite thing to cook?: pot roast in the crock pot! It's super easy and taste delightful!

  • DPO: FF says 4. I still don't believe I O'd and am expecting my CH to be taken away this week...?

    Testing Plans: If my CH stay, at least 12 DPO.

    How are you feeling about this cycle? Absolutely zero symptoms. If I did O anywhere between CD10 and today (CD15), our timing was great. Other than that I am just confused by FF so that is all I really think about this cycle.

    GTKY: What is your favorite thing to cook? Etoufee. I love Cajun. It took about 10 times making the same recipe to nail the roux :)


  • DPO: 8

    Testing Plans: Sunday or Monday... we'll see how long I hold out.

    How are you feeling about this cycle? Not sure. It's the first cycle after my miscarriage, so we will see.

    Howdy! Hey there!
    DPO: 11
    Testing Plans: I had some bad cramps last night figured AF was on her way, 11 DPO is usually when my temps take a nose dive, but they stayed up this morning... so I tested BFN not even a faint line, i know its kind of early but I was holding out hope :( So now I'll wait a few more days if my temps stay up (fingers crossed)
    How are you feeling about this cycle?  Do you have any phantom symptoms: felt bad originally, we only BD on O day... had cramps last night, usually have sore boobs by now but nothing
    GTKY: What is your favorite thing to cook? I've been on a chicken pot pie kick, recipe is from Kraft... DELICIOUS!

  • DPO: 12 DPO

    Testing Plans: Another negative test this morning. 

    How are you feeling about this cycle?  Do you have any phantom symptoms: I'm pretty sure this cycle is a bust as I woke up this morning with AF-like cramps.  So annoyed that my phantom symptoms over the past two weeks probably only that!

    GTKY: What is your favorite thing to cook? Anything.  I love to cook!

I want to hold out until 14DPO for testing, but I can feel myself caving already. I love to cook anything!! I hate to bake.

  • Howdy!    Good Morning!! DPO: 6 Testing Plans:  I'm thinking of holding off until July 7th. I just want to enjoy my  first stress free 2ww. How are you feeling about this cycle?  Do you have any phantom symptoms: Well my nips have been sore since the day of O, and I had some slight cramping today. But, I'm not going to play the "maybe it could be" game. GTKY: What is your favorite thing to cook? Country dijon pork chops! It's so easy yet SUPER yummy! Have a Great day ladies!

  • Hi, ladies! 

    DPO: I'm not temping or charting...just going by CM and my cycle (usually a perfect 28 days with O on day 14).  Based on that, I O'd yesterday or will today.

    Testing Plans: I tested 5 days early with DD and it was positive.  July 12th is when AF is due, so I think I'll test around the 7th. 

    I have been having phantom symptoms since Thursday - very heavy feeling in my lower abdomen, cramps off and on. 

    I love to cook and bake!  I don't know that I have one favorite thing to cook, but I love hearty, one-pot meals like chili, beef stew, and penne vodka.

  • DPO:   I don't really have a clue as I only started charting mid-cycle.

    Testing Plans:  Since I don't know when O was, I'm thinking maybe CD28 for this go round.

    How are you feeling about this cycle?  Well, if I o'd when I originally thought I did, then great.  But if FF is now correct, I'm out so boo.   

    Do you have any phantom symptoms: Nausea and dizziness over the weekend, nothing since.  

    GTKY: What is your favorite thing to cook?  I'll cook anything!  Lately I've been enjoying anything with fresh summer produce . . . All time favorite is probably chili.  Infinitely adaptable, smells terrific while simmering, and DH always raves (so that part is satisfying.)

  • DPO: 8 DPO!! The anticipation is killing me.

    Testing Plans: Hopefully this weekend. I keep telling myself to just wait...but I have a lot of ICs to use!

    How are you feeling about this cycle?  Do you have any phantom symptoms: Never felt phantom symptoms before, but I have been feeling a twinging like small cramps off and on. I've also been feeling sick off and on. Yesterday I heard a song on the radio that isn't even emotional, and I just found myself crying in the middle of the afternoon!

    GTKY: What is your favorite thing to cook? anything Italian!

How are you feeling about this cycle?  Do you have any phantom symptoms: I'm not even feeling that great about this cycle.  I'm pretty sure I'm out because none of the symptoms I had with #1 are around.  I tested due to peer pressure.  No cramps anymore, no sensitive nips anymore.  Even my Phantom Symptoms have abandoned me! GTKY: What is your favorite thing to cook? I'm not such a great cook, and don't particularly enjoy it.  So my favorite thing to cook is to "cook up" an idea for my H to make for dinner =)

    How are you feeling about this cycle?  Do you have any phantom symptoms: I have sore breasts, but otherwise, I'm  feeling pretty good.  DH and I both had a bout of food poisoning yesterday, so I can't really call the nausea a phantom symptom.

  • Hi!

    DPO: 4

    Testing Plans: I will probably test at 12 DPO. This is my first cycle so I'm hoping I can wait to test until then. I have a lot of IC in my medicine cabinet.

    How are you feeling: I felt pretty sick today but I think I was just dehydrated. I feel fine now. No phantom symptoms.

    GTKY: I love to cook so its hard to pick just one but probably my grandma's homemade mac & cheese.

  • DPO: 10Testing Plans: I tested yesterday at 6pm - why oh why do I do these things? Of course it was a BFN. Tested again this morning and I think it's a BFN, but when I held it at a tilt in the sunlight I THINK I could see something - who knows though - I think I'm trying to see what I want to so I'll test again tomorrow. DH isn't sure if he saw a 2nd line or not - that's how faint it is... if it's even there.How are you feeling about this cycle?  Do you have any phantom symptoms: I had a temp drop and was feeling crampy 2 days ago. Didn't temp this morning because it of the drop yesterday. Yesterday I had a ridiculous crying spell for no good reason (which I'm thinking probably has to do with stressing about ttc.) AF should be here tomorrow.GTKY: What is your favorite thing to cook?  Broiled tilapia!
