What you did this cycle: Charted temps, CM, OPKs. Used pre-seed and had sex 0-3, 0-2, 0, and 0+1
Phantom Symptoms: Sigh...I'm having a lot of feelings since 7dpo. And I swear they aren't phantom. I've been noticing them even when I'm busy and not even thinking about TTC or my body. A lot of on and off cramps and feelings in my ute area. Sore boobs and nipples since O, and since 8 dpo some sharp tingling/pain feelings in my nipples. I just have a 'feeling'...
Testing Plans:Was holding out until Easter, caved and tested about 5 times so far today. I swear I'm getting the faintest of faint lines. They aren't visible in a picture. I'll probably use a wondfo every time I pee today, and then a FRER again tomorrow with FMU.
Feelings this cycle: Ridiculously confident
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? Wine, I like a riesling and a soft red.
What you did this cycle: Nothing different, was going to start charting CD1
Phantom Symptoms: Sore BB, cramps in lower back, sever bloating to where be fat pants were tight!
Testing Plans: I did a FRER this morning with 2MU. The line was so faint, you honestly can hardly see it. DH is VERY skeptical although he can see it too. He thinks it cannot be real and I am getting too excited. I told him what I have heard on here so often...A line is a line...right????. But now that it is actually me, I have to add the right????
Feelings this cycle: Very positive
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? Moscato de Aste!!

What you did this cycle: BD-cation; Temping, OPK's, CP/CM; Pom, yogurt, no soy.
Phantom Symptoms: Heaviness with slight AF-like discomfort (not cramps) in uterus. Occasional warm sensations. And is it me or are my boobs less sad from nursing?...I'm stretching it a little bit here.
Testing Plans: Waiting to see what my chart does. I have a bunch of OPK's though and today's was pretty dark. Naughty, naughty...
Feelings this cycle: FF says my due date would be Christmas Day. I just feel like that's a good sign, in a weird way. Plus, the primary phantom symptom is reminiscent of something I felt during PG with DD, but different than the phantom symptom that faked me out two months ago.
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? I think it's beer. Cold. And depends on the food I'm eating and the season. It's really, really hard to go wrong with a Chimay though.

Fingers crossed for you! It's making me crazy too, but in a way not, because it's like I know. I hate to jump the gun and say it. But have you ever heard friends or anyone say they just knew even before they took a test, yeah I'm totally experiencing that. But my lines are really not even visible, yet they are in the tiniest way! Ugh! Hope tomorrow brings us good news!
What you did this cycle: charted, OPKs and sex EOD
Phantom Symptoms: none yet
Testing Plans: probably Friday the 13th(good luck? bad luck? who knows, lol) at 10DPO

What you did this cycle: breastfeeding, OPKs, temping, pre-seed. Had sex EOD in FW (hit O-3 and O-1)
Phantom Symptoms: super tired, but that's nothing unusual after spending all day with a toddler!
Testing Plans: I will probably test on Friday the 13th for fun if I'm still in the game by then (my LP last cycle was only 9 days long). If BFN, I'll retest at 14 DPO.
Feelings this cycle: optimistic
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? I haven't had alcohol since getting my BFP in Jan 2010 But my favorite alcoholic beverages are French martinis and Guinness

Me too!! Crossing fingers that we both have "Santa Babies" ;-)
CD/DPO: CD 24. I think 4DPO, FF thought 4 but changed to 8DPO today. I disagree and think I O'ed on CD 20 and my temps from CD 17&18 are what is causing the confusion....I don't know my chart is a mess this month.
What you did this cycle: We were both traveling and sick so didn't have much sex. I am hoping FF moves my CHs back to CD20 so we have a chance timing wise. Otherwise, nothing new.
Phantom Symptoms: Sore boobs since O which isn't normal for me. Otherwise I think it is too early for any others.
Testing Plans: Next Monday April 16th
Feelings this cycle: Confused due to the changing and dotted CHs and not very hopeful. But deep down I want to be hopeful since it is our 12th month, the month of my EDD from my first c/p, and my EDD would be Christmas day!
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? I love trying different beers, but don't like anything too heavy. Otherwise, Pinot Noir.
Testing Plans: 10 dpo. MH's birthday is the 15th and I am hoping I have good news to give him. That would be a great gift!!!
Feelings this cycle: eh, I have learned not to get my hopes up
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? don't really have a fav., but right now I am drinking acai-blueberry vodka and lemonade. Yum!!

What you did this cycle: second cycle temping so I knew when to start using OPKs and about when I'd O. We hit every day o-3 thru o+1, checked cp and cm, water and green tea before O (not out of the ordinary for me)
Phantom symptoms: yesterday I said none. Looking back I had some lower abdominal cramping and twinges at about 8dpo and I've been pretty tired.
Testing Plans:I caved and tested yesterday. I held my urine for ~4 hours and I literally took the wondfos off my doorstep and tested with 2. I saw 2 lines! DH and I got a few FrERs and a few digis last night to use this morning
Feelings this cycle: cautiously optimistic now that I have taken 8-10 tests with the same results. I don't really have many symptoms yet so I'm taking it slow
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? not really into alcoholic drinks anymore but I used to love vodka cranberries and mikes hard lemonade light
Cycle #:13, month 23CD/DPO:CD 15 and 4 DPOWhat you did this cycle:OPKs three times a day. Sex O -2, O-1 and O. Since I have anovulatory PCOS so I didn't expect to ovulate so I didn't do anything different. Phantom Symptoms:Way too early, yet I have had a lot of cramps since o.Testing Plans:I have a drawer full of ICs screaming my name so way earlier than I know I should. If my chart looks ok at 8 dpo I'll start testing then fully expecting it to be bfn since it is waaaay early!Feelings this cycle: Hopefully. It's been almost 2 year journey and this is the first month we have a chance.GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? My old awesome neighbor made a killer chocolate martini that is my favorite.
After almost 3 years of IF and a crazy roadside delivery, we are loving life with our second beautiful daughter!
What
you did this cycle: first cycle so we just timed sex based on EWCM
Phantom Symptoms: it is a lack of symptoms
that has me weirded out - usually by now, I feel premenstrual cramps and have
very sore breasts, but I have none of that yet and I got an acne breakout last
weekend, when I usually only get one zit the day before my period, so I don?t
know what?s going on
Testing
Plans: I caved and tested this morning (so much for patience) and
got a BFN
Feelings
this cycle: I bought a thermometer and OPK, so clearly I'm not
that optimistic
GTKY:
What is your favorite alcoholic drink? A classic gin martini
with a twist.
What you did this cycle: CBEFM, OKPs, Sex O-1 and O
Phantom Symptoms: I just have cramping but it doesn't really feel like AF cramping so who knows. One thing that I have noticed is a lack of AF emotional roller coaster crap, so whether I'm KU or not, that's always good!
Testing Plans: I'm just going to watch my temps and see where they go - slightly up today. I got my last BFP on 12 dpo so maybe I'll test tomorrow but I may just hold out. If I get another temp spike that might cause me to test as well.
Feelings this cycle: I'm hopeful but trying not to get *too* hopeful.
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? In summer, I prefer New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc or a good pinot grigio. In winter, I drink reds - most cabernet and malbec.

FX! I have been really analyzing these cramps today... I don't generally get cramps until really the day my period starts and the PMS cramps are pretty severe... that's usually how I know it's coming. But my temp certainly doesn't indicate that it will start today and they aren't severe at all... they've moved from the side where they were on 9dpo and are right in the middle... just don't know so need to stop over-analyzing!!
What you did this cycle: Sex, temping/charting, lots of water, and exercise. I thought I was going to O a lot sooner, so sex timing was good about a week earlier. I got sick so then we just started EOD and if CHs are right (I don't use OPK or check CM because I have all kinds all throughout my cycle) then it will be O-2 and O.
Phantom Symptoms: Way too soon, but sore boobs are kicking in..happens every cycle so that doesn't really count.
Testing Plans: Longest LP is 13 days, if I make it to 15 I will test.
Feelings this cycle: Always hopeful until period comes.
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? Bud Light, but it has been a few months since I've actually had one.

Cycle #: 1CD/DPO: CD 17/DPO 2What you did this cycle: BD EOD until day 10, BD ED fromday 10 until temp spike. Not entirely sure when my temp spiked, but I suspected it was Friday. I had been temping orally, but my low temp Friday morning got me concerned, so I tried a v temp. Lo and behold, a whole degree and a half higher! I had an almost dark line on Wednesday at 7pm and a darker than the control on Thursday at 7am. Later on Thursday I had o pains on my left side so that is why I'm thinking Thursday was the day. Now if only I would stop waking up an hour early so I stop getting open circles!Phantom Symptoms: Too early, but I have lingering breast tendernessTesting Plans: DPO 10-13Feelings this cycle: hopeful!GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? Moscato wine
Ummmmmm I kind of broke down and POAS today. I told you, I have a POAS problem. I either tricked myself into seeing a line (because it would have to be a trick, right??) or something really was there...either way I have a ton of $tree tests so knowing my anal self I'll be testing from now until I get a *real* line or AF. Don't judge.
Feelings this cycle:
I feel optimistic.

My favorite wine brand is Sebeka, this really amazing South African wine that uses some different grapes. If I am not drinking wine, I really enjoy a nice Grey Goose vodka tonic.

What you did this cycle: Charted temps, CM, OPKs. Used pre-seed and had sex 0-3, 0-2, 0, and 0+1
Phantom Symptoms: Sigh...I'm having a lot of feelings since 7dpo. And I swear they aren't phantom. I've been noticing them even when I'm busy and not even thinking about TTC or my body. A lot of on and off cramps and feelings in my ute area. Sore boobs and nipples since O, and since 8 dpo some sharp tingling/pain feelings in my nipples. I just have a 'feeling'...
Testing Plans:Was holding out until Easter, caved and tested about 5 times so far today. I swear I'm getting the faintest of faint lines. They aren't visible in a picture. I'll probably use a wondfo every time I pee today, and then a FRER again tomorrow with FMU.

What you did this cycle: Charting/temping, OPKs, sex EOD+ during FW (hit O-3, O-2, O-1), green tea, pre-seed once (O-3), and a bit of Pom.
Phantom Symptoms: Not a whole lot, which is weird. My breasts aren't very tender like they usually are at this point. I did have some heartburn today, which is rare for me. My skin is breaking out like crazy.
Testing Plans: I gave in and tested this am because my temp was up, but BFN. I will probably keep testing every morning until BFP or AF.
Feelings this cycle: Not very optimistic after the BFN today. I think my temp was up secondary to stress and a restless night. I am under a lot of stress with my mom (return of her cancer) and I'm worried that will effect a pregnancy even if I do get a BFP.
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? Captain Morgan rum and Coke.

Testing Plans: I will probably test on Friday the 13th for fun if I'm still in the game by then (my LP last cycle was only 9 days long). If BFN, I'll retest at 14 DPO.
Feelings this cycle: optimistic
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? I haven't had alcohol since getting my BFP in Jan 2010Me too!! Crossing fingers that we both have "Santa Babies" ;-)
Good luck testing tomorrow fleursfish!
My Ovulation Chart
CD/DPO: 28/10
What you did this cycle: second cycle temping so I knew when to start using OPKs and about when I'd O. We hit every day o-3 thru o+1, checked cp and cm, water and green tea before O (not out of the ordinary for me)
Phantom symptoms: yesterday I said none. Looking back I had some lower abdominal cramping and twinges at about 8dpo and I've been pretty tired.
Testing Plans:I caved and tested yesterday. I held my urine for ~4 hours and I literally took the wondfos off my doorstep and tested with 2. I saw 2 lines! DH and I got a few FrERs and a few digis last night to use this morning
Feelings this cycle: cautiously optimistic now that I have taken 8-10 tests with the same results. I don't really have many symptoms yet so I'm taking it slow
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? not really into alcoholic drinks anymore but I used to love vodka cranberries and mikes hard lemonade light
BFP #1: 4/2/12 -- DD born 12/15/12. BFP #2: 4/1/14 -- CP. BFP #3: 4/28/14 -- EDD 1/10/15

After almost 3 years of IF and a crazy roadside delivery, we are loving life with our second beautiful daughter!
CD/DPO: 29/ 13 DPO (estimated)
What you did this cycle: first cycle so we just timed sex based on EWCM
Phantom Symptoms: it is a lack of symptoms that has me weirded out - usually by now, I feel premenstrual cramps and have very sore breasts, but I have none of that yet and I got an acne breakout last weekend, when I usually only get one zit the day before my period, so I don?t know what?s going on
Testing Plans: I caved and tested this morning (so much for patience) and got a BFN
Feelings this cycle: I bought a thermometer and OPK, so clearly I'm not that optimistic
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? A classic gin martini with a twist.
Cycle #: 6
CD/DPO: 24/11
What you did this cycle: CBEFM, OKPs, Sex O-1 and O
Phantom Symptoms: I just have cramping but it doesn't really feel like AF cramping so who knows. One thing that I have noticed is a lack of AF emotional roller coaster crap, so whether I'm KU or not, that's always good!
Testing Plans: I'm just going to watch my temps and see where they go - slightly up today. I got my last BFP on 12 dpo so maybe I'll test tomorrow but I may just hold out. If I get another temp spike that might cause me to test as well.
Feelings this cycle: I'm hopeful but trying not to get *too* hopeful.
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind?
In summer, I prefer New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc or a good pinot grigio. In winter, I drink reds - most cabernet and malbec.
::sneaks in to crash:: Just wanted to say GL!! I chart stalked you and it's still looking really good. Nice to hear no AF emotional roller coaster too...can I get that?!
FX! I have been really analyzing these cramps today... I don't generally get cramps until really the day my period starts and the PMS cramps are pretty severe... that's usually how I know it's coming. But my temp certainly doesn't indicate that it will start today and they aren't severe at all... they've moved from the side where they were on 9dpo and are right in the middle... just don't know so need to stop over-analyzing!!
Edited for quote fail and clarity!
Cycle #: 4
CD/DPO: CD 28, 3 DPO
What you did this cycle: Sex, temping/charting, lots of water, and exercise. I thought I was going to O a lot sooner, so sex timing was good about a week earlier. I got sick so then we just started EOD and if CHs are right (I don't use OPK or check CM because I have all kinds all throughout my cycle) then it will be O-2 and O.
Phantom Symptoms: Way too soon, but sore boobs are kicking in..happens every cycle so that doesn't really count.
Testing Plans: Longest LP is 13 days, if I make it to 15 I will test.
Feelings this cycle: Always hopeful until period comes.
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? Bud Light, but it has been a few months since I've actually had one.
Cheering for you lovey!

CD/DPO: 36/11
What you did this cycle: Charting/temping, OPKs, sex EOD+ during FW (hit O-3, O-2, O-1), green tea, pre-seed once (O-3), and a bit of Pom.
Phantom Symptoms: Not a whole lot, which is weird. My breasts aren't very tender like they usually are at this point. I did have some heartburn today, which is rare for me. My skin is breaking out like crazy.
Testing Plans: I gave in and tested this am because my temp was up, but BFN. I will probably keep testing every morning until BFP or AF.
Feelings this cycle: Not very optimistic after the BFN today. I think my temp was up secondary to stress and a restless night. I am under a lot of stress with my mom (return of her cancer) and I'm worried that will effect a pregnancy even if I do get a BFP.
GTKY: What is your favorite alcoholic drink? If you say wine, what kind? Captain Morgan rum and Coke.
