Re: ~*~*2WW*~*~
Cycle #: 6
CD/DPO: 16, 3dpo - got crosshairs this morning!
What did you do this cycle?: Sex O-1 and O using olive oil for lube (is it weird that this morning I got horny eating my eggs that I cooked in olive oil??)
CBEFM, OPKs, temping
Phantom Symptoms?: Nothing - too early
Testing Plans/Results: I'm going to try to hold out until 14dpo
How are you feeling about this cycle?: Too early to tell - our timing was pretty good and I'm hoping that the circle of life and the HSG will push the odds ever in our favor.
GTKY: Where do you live? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I live outside of Phoenix, AZ in a town called Goodyear. We love it here but I think I'd want to live closer to water. I'd love to live on a beach.
Am I missing something? I'm gone for 3 days and today I'm not seeing the 2ww or the Waiting to O posts... did we decide not to do them anymore? Happy Friday everyone! - we're still doing them - I was going to start it this morning, but last time I did that, someone else started one at the exact same time....
Cycle #: 2
CD/DPO: 18/3DPO (yay, my first real CHs!)
What did you do this cycle?: temped, charted, OPTs
Phantom Symptoms?: boobs are starting to get sore, but that's normal for this time
Testing Plans/Results: daily starting at 10dpo - I'm not patient :-p
How are you feeling about this cycle?: I'm not that excited - I mean, it's a definite possibility, but who knows. DH, however, has started referring to my mid-section as the "maybe baby" lol
GTKY: Where do you live? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I live in DC. it's nice, but I'm really more of a small-town girl
Quick question (that I don't think deserves it's own post). FF gave me my CHs today, and then shortened my FW to 3 days before O. If sperm can live up to 5 days in the uterus (I read that somewhere, it may be wrong) then why isn't your FW 5 days before O? that just makes sense to me....but maybe I'm missing something....
Cycle #: cycle 1 post m/c, TTA cycle 1, cycle 6 TTC
CD/DPO: cd 33/dpo 10
What did you do this cycle?: I started taking vitex and red raspberry leaf after my miscarriage to help regulate my hormones and strengthen the ute lining.
Phantom Symptoms?: n/a
Testing Plans/Results: none
How are you feeling about this cycle?: I am actually pretty happy with this cycle. I O'd around the same time I normally would have so I am glad that the m/c didnt change things that much. I THINK I may end up with the longest LP that I have ever had. I have a short short LP, avg is 8 days, and I am hoping to make it til tomorrow or sunday which would give me a 10-11 day LP.
GTKY: Where do you live? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I live in South Florida, but if I could live anywhere, I would move back to WI.
He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.

Phantom Symptoms?: none
Testing Plans/Results: just wait for the next cycle. if period doesn't show after Easter I'll test
How are you feeling about this cycle?: okay... my chart isn't too convincing on O especially since my 2nd temp after "O" was taken at 3:30 instead of 5 am. Also, these are the highest temps I've had since charting, I just hope I don't get a bunch of peaks and valleys later
GTKY: Where do you live? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? live in Cincinnati, OH. I would probably live in Greenville SC if I could live anywhere. My family has a lake house on Lake Hartwell and the beach is not too far away. Wouldn't want to live in another country because all of my family is here.

Am I missing something? I'm gone for 3 days and today I'm not seeing the 2ww or the Waiting to O posts... did we decide not to do them anymore? Hehe, no. I think Lando might've scared/scorned our most recent poster who'd taken 2WW on most recently.
Cycle #: 3rd post-m/c; 7th total
CD/DPO: 8 DPO
What did you do this cycle?: Sex ED through FW - which was tough, because I've got a solid +/- 1 day error around O date, I really have no idea, but we just made sure our bases were covered...

Testing Plans/Results: Plans to wait until next Wednesday (13 DPO), since I'm not 100% on when I O'ed.
How are you feeling about this cycle?: Trying to stay neutral, because I had high temps last month that resulted in AF.

I think it's just odds. It's been documented that yes some people have gotten pregnant that far out, but most sperm only survive 24-48 hours in a fertile woman's body. FF is just pointing out the timeframe that represents your best, most realistic odds of getting pregnant. Even O-3 is a stretch.

CD/DPO: 22/6
What did you do this cycle?: BBT & CM, got busy on O-3, O-1, and O days!
Phantom Symptoms?: Everything... nothing.

GTKY: Where do you live? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? NOVA, in suburban hell. But neither of us have an awful commute, which is wonderful (and practically unheard of!).

Cycle #: 5
CD/DPO: 4 DPO
What did you do this cycle?: BD ED: O-2, O-1, O, O+1. Drank green tea until O, used preseed, OPKs and temping.
Phantom Symptoms?: None
Testing Plans/Results: I'm going to test starting 6 DPO because I'm insane
How are you feeling about this cycle?: Meh. Our timing is good, but it has been for every other failed cycle, so that's not getting my hopes up at all.
GTKY: Where do you live? A little bit north of Milwaukee, WI in a rural area. I love our home and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. But as long as I'm dreaming... a winter home on the island of Kauai wouldn't be bad
Cycle #: 2
CD/DPO: CD21, should be 2dpo (I didn't see a waiting to O thread, and I should be getting crosshairs tomorrow as I already plugged in a tummy temp to make sure)
What did you do this cycle?: Charted temps, CM, and OPK's. I wanted to do EOD but then just started doing it as much as we could when I thought I was fertile. We used pre-seed.
Phantom Symptoms?: None, too early. Still had some O cramping yesterday. Nipples are really sore today, which I don't recall ever experiencing.
Testing Plans/Results: Relax and hold out until 14dpo. I'm debating if I should continue to temp after CH's arrive. I'm not sure which direction would make me more anxious.
How are you feeling about this cycle?: Hopeful but trying not to think about it yet.
GTKY: Where do you live? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I live in North Dakota. That's tough, right now I would say where we are now. I like that I am within close proximity of my family. I like to be here for events and holidays. Traveling on the other hand, there's many places I still want to go (Italy, France, Switz, Alaska)
ETA: Where I live.
Cycle #: 4, 2nd Charting
CD/DPO: 24/8
What did you do this cycle?: sex (first and foremost), temping/charting, opks, green tea, pomegranate
Phantom Symptoms?: some nausea
Testing Plans/Results: I'll just wait until my period is late before I test.
How are you feeling about this cycle?: Pessimistic. Our timing was bad this month and I received opks in the mail at what I'm guessing was the end of my surge.
GTKY: Where do you live? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I live in North GA. I like where we live, although it's kind of in the boonies. H likes countryside and I like city life so we'll never fully agree on that.
Sorry the font is a little wonky, I tried to fix it and gave up early.

Moving on to IUI or IVF.

Cycle #: 1
CD/DPO: cd26 11dpos (not really sure,going by symptoms and migraine, wasn't expecting to be ttc this month)
What did you do this cycle?: Nothing, I had residual hormones from my miscarriage, I am not enough sure if I o'ed, and I always get a migraine when I O, and I had two, which adds to my unsureness.
Phantom Symptoms?: nauseus, sore breasts,heartburn, cramping and exhaustion.
Testing Plans/Results starting testing. BFNs, I think I am imagining a line though, I really wish I didn't know where the wondfo test line was.
How are you feeling about this cycle?: Positive. I have been cramping for a few days, which isn't normal before AF, for this long at least. The ammount of nausea is strange too, maybe I am getting sick.
GTKY: Where do you live? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I leave close to Baltimore. I would live in Rome if I could.

GTKY: Where do you live? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? In the Dallas-Fort Worth,TX Area! I would live in the mountains...somewhere peaceful and away from everything.

Phantom Symptoms?: None
Testing Plans/Results: I'll wait until the day I think I'm supposed to get my period
How are you feeling about this cycle?: Not good... I am very regular and usually get a +OPK on CD 14 so I had good timing around then... But didn't BD much leading up to the surprise CD 20 +OPK so I'm a bit mad at myself
GTKY: Where do you live? If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I live in NYC... I think this is it! But having a beach house right on the ocean would be a nice addition!

Testing Plans/Results: I'll be testing 8dpo (I know, probably silly) because we have a party that night I'll be going to and won't indulge in my 1-2 drinks if we get our BFP that morning. If BFN, I'll probably test every morning until BFP or AF because I have about 50 Wonfos to waste!
How are you feeling about this cycle?: Somewhat hopeful, we'll see.
