GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening!
Testing Plans: I'm going to be bad and test early, at just 9 DPO, but I'm only doing it because that's the only day I'll see my entire family until next Christmas. Even though it might disappoint me when it's negative, the small chance of being able to tell everyone in person makes up for that.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: Dear Chart, I know I have insomnia this week, but do you really have to look that ridiculous? You can look at last month's beautiful chart if you need to recall what a nice chart looks like. Well, except for AF's arrival at the end. You could leave that part off. Thanks, Me

Okay, this one's longish but good I promise.
I'm a veterinarian, and my biggest irrational fear is getting called in the middle of the night because circus trucks piled up and flipped over on the highway, and I need to go catch the camels. There would be camels all over the highway, all needing emergency care, unable to be caught, and then once you do catch them, they are the worst to get an IV catheter into, and they spit on you to boot.
Yes, camels on the highway, that's my biggest irrational fear.
CD/DPO: 35/15 (screw you FF, I think you are wrong so I'm going with this instead.)
Timing: O-2, O, O+2
Testing Plans: Tomorrow am if AF doesn't show.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: I had a temp drop this am. Hoping it's because I moved around and sat up before I remembered to temp. Otherwise I am feeling anxious as hell. Yesterday was a loooong day, so hopefully today I can think of something else all day.

it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever
happening! You know, I really can't say I have one. I worry a lot when I'm driving at night that another deer will come out of nowhere and I'll hit it again, but that's not really irrational.
Testing Plans: I had the urge to test this morning. It was real bad. I got up and peed before the urge to complete control. I'm hoping I don't have any more of those urges.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: This by far has been the worst 2ww for me so far. I think it's because I'm super hopeful this time (I hate admitting that). My temp did drop a bit today, nothing huge, but it still made me a little bit sad. I keep telling myself that one temp doesn't matter and to focus on the big picture.

- What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but
it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever
happening! I don't really have any major irrational fears but I am absolutely terrified of puking. I have nightmares about it. I also have to check the feet in the stalls in public bathrooms. If they are facing the wrong way I can't go in. It used to be so bad that I wouldn't use a toilet that someone had barfed in for the longest time. I like to think this fear is lessening as I get older....

Testing Plans: I tested last night. I had sore boobies and cramping yesterday, which is unlike PMS d/t the fact that it's so early, and I usually get those symptoms a day or so before AF. Obviously, BFN.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: Temps are trending downward over the past few days, but it's my first month charting, so I have no idea what that means. I do know that I am super freaking nauseous this morning and want to crawl back to bed and stay there for the day.

My biggest fear is being alone, stranded in the ocean. Like floating around halfway between the US and Europe. Like a plane went down and I survived and I am freezing, in the dark and going to die. I can't watch 'Titanic' when they are all floating around frozen in the ocean. A bit morbid, eh?

Cycle/Month: 9/9CD/DPO: 29/4Timing: O-3, O-2, and O-1Testing Plans: Haven't decidedVents/Chart stalk/feelings: My temps have been so unreliable lately, so I'm not 100% sure which day I ovulated. CD26 I woke up hungover/still tipsy, so that skyrocketing temp can't be trusted. Then CD28 I got out of bed an hour before my regular temping time and had a super low temp. Went back to sleep and temped at my normal time and used that instead.GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? All my fears are totally rational.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: So, I am sitting here still holding my pee because I canNOT decide if I want to test or not. Typically, I am of the "just go PIAC" camp, however, I am really torn this time. I only have one IC left, and I have been saying all 2WW I would test tomorrow if conditions were favorable. I never though I would get this far. This cycle has been ridiculous...I didn't O until CD 61!
This morning my temp went up, which is different, and I didn't start spotting yesterday. I always spot before AF. Sometimes its as early as 8 DPO, but never later than 10 DPO. As of this AM, still no spotting. So I am getting myself worked up because I didn't think we had a prayer this cycle and now I feel like we do. I can't decide.
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! If I am parked under an overpass or bridge (caught at a light or something) I will start worrying, not that I think that the overpass is going to collapse but that someone will commit suicide off of it and land right in front of me. I know I am strange.
ETA: Took a test, BFN. At least now I can stop getting my hopes up and go back to just being glad that I finally ovulated this cycle!
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: Big temp drop again this morning so cycle #3 is on it's way :-(
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! Kind of morbid but I really fear dying young and leaving DS without a mom. Crazy, I know.
Timing: We only hit O, I had a bad cold, so we are lucky we even hit O
Testing Plans: Not sure
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: I'm not feeling anything, nothing at all, no sore boobs, like I usually get from O til my period, nothing, oh well.
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! I am afraid of zombies, like the zombie apocolypse.... my BIL and H talk about it all the time and I have to leave the room because it gives me terrible anxiety.
Testing Plans: I broke down and tested this morning (period is due today), and I thought I saw an ever so faint line but of course I can't tell for sure and figure it's just in my head. I only have Wondfos in the house so will buy some FRER and try again tomorrow.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: Yesterday I was feeling like I was out, I'd been spotting for five or so days with the last couple days seeming slightly heavier. But today no spotting at all, and although my temp dipped just a bit it's still well above coverline and considerably above where it normally drops to at the start of AF, and last cycle my temp dropped below coverline by 10DPO, so I'm feeling just a wee bit hopeful.
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! Being buried alive, like in a coffin where you could move just a bit but not really. I'm not claustrophobic in any way, but the thought of that specific situation quite terrifies me!

Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: I woke up in the middle of the night to cramps.. and my first thought was "great, here comes AF". But then I realized it's way to early for that. So - of course I let me mind run away from me. Probably means nothing, since our chances are pretty low. But I still get hopeful.
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? I saw someone posted being stuck under an overpass - reminded me that I hate being stuck on top of the overpass. I hate it when I'm sitting still, but traffic on the other side is still moving so you can feel it bouncing. I always analyze the cars stopped on it - wondering if those few semis are going to put it over the weight limit causing it to collapse!
Cycle/Month: Cycle 7, Month 8 (I think. I've lost track between the m/cs and the breaks)CD/DPO: 25, 6Timing: Pretty good, but not amazingTesting Plans: Will testing Saturday at 10 DPO because we are going to a wedding that night. I'd like to say I won't test again at 11 DPO, but that would be a lie.Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: I had to leave town the day of O, so we didn't get as much BD in as I would have liked, but we still hit some key days. GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening!I'm terrified of dying in a plane crash...WHILE in the bathroom.

Testing Plans:I guess Xmas day on 10 DPO. Just because it would be awesome since we aren't doing presents for each other this year bc of the house renovations and its the first night in new house.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings:not really freely great about this cycle, o came a lot later than usual, bad timing, temps are not really rising well. Not even sure I completely trust ff since I thought you o 36 to 72 hours after a positive opk not the very same day. I was neg in am and pos at noon. I did not get a chance to test again. Ff thinks I ovulated that day.

My Mother told me when I was little that if you put shoes on the bed you would die. I get really worked up over it and NEVER allow shoes anywhere near my bed especial while packing. I have canceled trips (small ones) bc shoes ended up in the suitcase while it ws on the bed.
I knew my husband was for me when one night while he was showering and I was unpacking from last christmas I put a laundry basket on the bed and them realizedit had a new pair of shoes in it, I went screaming into the bathroom...."SHOES on the bed in a laundry basket are we still going to die?!?!!?!" without missing a beat he replied, " Nope plastic is an insulator, we'll be fine." I knew then that he was the one for me (and my crazy supersitions!)

Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! Drowning.
Testing Plans: Probably not until Sat., 12 DPO, because I have plans to go out that night.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: Is a temp spike in 2WW a good sign, or will temps in 2WW always fluctuate making a spike not necessarily mean anything?
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! Getting lost in the woods perhaps.
CD/DPO: 21 / 7 or 8. I had + opks on 12/9 & 12/10 so I'm really not sure when I ovulated. I finally returned to temping, so hopefully next month I don't have this uncertainty.
Timing: depends on O date, but I think -2, -1. Since I can't confirm O date, I guess pretty bad
Testing Plans: Either Friday or Saturday - we leave for the inlaws Saturday evening, and I'd like to test before we go. AF is due on 12/25 (lovely)
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: I apologize in advance for rambling. A bit peeved that I didn't temp this month. It's only cycle 1 so I can't be upset with a BFN. I'm leaning towards a BFN though. I know it's early, and implantation may not have occurred yet, or could have just occurred, but with my last BFP I had distinct cramping in that area days before I tested (it was a surprise, and wasn't doing any monitoring or testing at the time). I remember standing in front of a massive mirror in the locker room and rubbing my pelvic area and contemplating what was causing the pain. Also had a variation of CM that I had never seen before. Granted I have no way of confirming the pain or CM was related to my pregnancy, but that's where my brain keeps going. Last BFP was 12 days after BD (and BD was day 14 of my cycle), but I'm not sure when I O'd that month since I was not testing.. I need to stop trying to draw parallels and assuming that history will repeat itself exactly.

CD/DPO: 17/8 - but I'm not sure I buy that I O'd on CD9
Timing: Good
Testing Plans: I don't know - maybe this weekend if my period hasn't started
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: My chart is a mess based on some unexpected travel and not bothering to temp when I was out of town and not sleeping. I supposedly O'd before I even started OPKs this month. Not sure it's right, but I guess I just have to wait and see.

Okay, this one's longish but good I promise.
I'm a veterinarian, and my biggest irrational fear is getting called in the middle of the night because circus trucks piled up and flipped over on the highway, and I need to go catch the camels. There would be camels all over the highway, all needing emergency care, unable to be caught, and then once you do catch them, they are the worst to get an IV catheter into, and they spit on you to boot.
Yes, camels on the highway, that's my biggest irrational fear.

Happy Tuesday to you too!
Cycle/Month: 4/5
CD/DPO: 35/15 (screw you FF, I think you are wrong so I'm going with this instead.)
Timing: O-2, O, O+2
Testing Plans: Tomorrow am if AF doesn't show.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: I had a temp drop this am. Hoping it's because I moved around and sat up before I remembered to temp. Otherwise I am feeling anxious as hell. Yesterday was a loooong day, so hopefully today I can think of something else all day.
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! You know, I really can't say I have one. I worry a lot when I'm driving at night that another deer will come out of nowhere and I'll hit it again, but that's not really irrational.ETA: clarification
Happy Tuesday!
Cycle/Month: 4
CD/DPO: 27/8
Timing: O minus 5 through O plus 1
Testing Plans: I had the urge to test this morning. It was real bad. I got up and peed before the urge to complete control. I'm hoping I don't have any more of those urges.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: This by far has been the worst 2ww for me so far. I think it's because I'm super hopeful this time (I hate admitting that). My temp did drop a bit today, nothing huge, but it still made me a little bit sad. I keep telling myself that one temp doesn't matter and to focus on the big picture.
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! I don't really have any major irrational fears but I am absolutely terrified of puking. I have nightmares about it. I also have to check the feet in the stalls in public bathrooms. If they are facing the wrong way I can't go in. It used to be so bad that I wouldn't use a toilet that someone had barfed in for the longest time. I like to think this fear is lessening as I get older....Married in May 2012

Happy Tuesday!
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD/DPO:23/8
Timing: O-3, O-2, O-1
Testing Plans: I tested last night. I had sore boobies and cramping yesterday, which is unlike PMS d/t the fact that it's so early, and I usually get those symptoms a day or so before AF. Obviously, BFN.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: Temps are trending downward over the past few days, but it's my first month charting, so I have no idea what that means. I do know that I am super freaking nauseous this morning and want to crawl back to bed and stay there for the day.

My biggest fear is being alone, stranded in the ocean. Like floating around halfway between the US and Europe. Like a plane went down and I survived and I am freezing, in the dark and going to die. I can't watch 'Titanic' when they are all floating around frozen in the ocean. A bit morbid, eh?
Happy Tuesday! Woo HOO (trying to be positive)
Cycle/Month: 5/7
CD/DPO: 72/11
Timing: "good" O -3 O-1
Testing Plans: maybe today?
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: So, I am sitting here still holding my pee because I canNOT decide if I want to test or not. Typically, I am of the "just go PIAC" camp, however, I am really torn this time. I only have one IC left, and I have been saying all 2WW I would test tomorrow if conditions were favorable. I never though I would get this far. This cycle has been ridiculous...I didn't O until CD 61!
This morning my temp went up, which is different, and I didn't start spotting yesterday. I always spot before AF. Sometimes its as early as 8 DPO, but never later than 10 DPO. As of this AM, still no spotting. So I am getting myself worked up because I didn't think we had a prayer this cycle and now I feel like we do. I can't decide.
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! If I am parked under an overpass or bridge (caught at a light or something) I will start worrying, not that I think that the overpass is going to collapse but that someone will commit suicide off of it and land right in front of me. I know I am strange.
ETA: Took a test, BFN. At least now I can stop getting my hopes up and go back to just being glad that I finally ovulated this cycle!
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: CD 25, 12 DPO
Timing: O-3, O-2, O+1
Testing Plans: Tested yesterday BFN.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: Big temp drop again this morning so cycle #3 is on it's way :-(
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! Kind of morbid but I really fear dying young and leaving DS without a mom. Crazy, I know.
Cycle/Month: 15/13
CD/DPO: 19/6
Timing: We only hit O, I had a bad cold, so we are lucky we even hit O
Testing Plans: Not sure
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: I'm not feeling anything, nothing at all, no sore boobs, like I usually get from O til my period, nothing, oh well.
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! I am afraid of zombies, like the zombie apocolypse.... my BIL and H talk about it all the time and I have to leave the room because it gives me terrible anxiety.

One week til Christmas woohoo!
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD/DPO: 24/12
Timing: -5,-3,-2
Testing Plans: I broke down and tested this morning (period is due today), and I thought I saw an ever so faint line but of course I can't tell for sure and figure it's just in my head. I only have Wondfos in the house so will buy some FRER and try again tomorrow.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: Yesterday I was feeling like I was out, I'd been spotting for five or so days with the last couple days seeming slightly heavier. But today no spotting at all, and although my temp dipped just a bit it's still well above coverline and considerably above where it normally drops to at the start of AF, and last cycle my temp dropped below coverline by 10DPO, so I'm feeling just a wee bit hopeful.
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! Being buried alive, like in a coffin where you could move just a bit but not really. I'm not claustrophobic in any way, but the thought of that specific situation quite terrifies me!

All ALers welcome!
Cycle/Month: 10/10
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: good
Testing Plans: maybe Friday or Saturday
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: I woke up in the middle of the night to cramps.. and my first thought was "great, here comes AF". But then I realized it's way to early for that. So - of course I let me mind run away from me. Probably means nothing, since our chances are pretty low. But I still get hopeful.
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? I saw someone posted being stuck under an overpass - reminded me that I hate being stuck on top of the overpass. I hate it when I'm sitting still, but traffic on the other side is still moving so you can feel it bouncing. I always analyze the cars stopped on it - wondering if those few semis are going to put it over the weight limit causing it to collapse!

Testing Plans:I guess Xmas day on 10 DPO. Just because it would be awesome since we aren't doing presents for each other this year bc of the house renovations and its the first night in new house.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings:not really freely great about this cycle, o came a lot later than usual, bad timing, temps are not really rising well. Not even sure I completely trust ff since I thought you o 36 to 72 hours after a positive opk not the very same day. I was neg in am and pos at noon. I did not get a chance to test again. Ff thinks I ovulated that day.

My Mother told me when I was little that if you put shoes on the bed you would die. I get really worked up over it and NEVER allow shoes anywhere near my bed especial while packing. I have canceled trips (small ones) bc shoes ended up in the suitcase while it ws on the bed.
I knew my husband was for me when one night while he was showering and I was unpacking from last christmas I put a laundry basket on the bed and them realizedit had a new pair of shoes in it, I went screaming into the bathroom...."SHOES on the bed in a laundry basket are we still going to die?!?!!?!" without missing a beat he replied, " Nope plastic is an insulator, we'll be fine." I knew then that he was the one for me (and my crazy supersitions!)
Hold your pee and test again. I could never wait. I would be peeing on things left and right if I thought I saw a line.

GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! Drowning.
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 21 / 7 or 8. I had + opks on 12/9 & 12/10 so I'm really not sure when I ovulated. I finally returned to temping, so hopefully next month I don't have this uncertainty.
Timing: depends on O date, but I think -2, -1. Since I can't confirm O date, I guess pretty bad
Testing Plans: Either Friday or Saturday - we leave for the inlaws Saturday evening, and I'd like to test before we go. AF is due on 12/25 (lovely)
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: I apologize in advance for rambling. A bit peeved that I didn't temp this month. It's only cycle 1 so I can't be upset with a BFN. I'm leaning towards a BFN though. I know it's early, and implantation may not have occurred yet, or could have just occurred, but with my last BFP I had distinct cramping in that area days before I tested (it was a surprise, and wasn't doing any monitoring or testing at the time). I remember standing in front of a massive mirror in the locker room and rubbing my pelvic area and contemplating what was causing the pain. Also had a variation of CM that I had never seen before. Granted I have no way of confirming the pain or CM was related to my pregnancy, but that's where my brain keeps going. Last BFP was 12 days after BD (and BD was day 14 of my cycle), but I'm not sure when I O'd that month since I was not testing.. I need to stop trying to draw parallels and assuming that history will repeat itself exactly.
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! I performed MDR TB research during my doctoral program, so there's always an itty bitty tiny fear that I was exposed.

CD/DPO: 17/8 - but I'm not sure I buy that I O'd on CD9
Timing: Good
Testing Plans: I don't know - maybe this weekend if my period hasn't started
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: My chart is a mess based on some unexpected travel and not bothering to temp when I was out of town and not sleeping. I supposedly O'd before I even started OPKs this month. Not sure it's right, but I guess I just have to wait and see.
GTKY - What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrational--something that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! Falling through a sidewalk grate. I do whatever I can to not walk on them.

CD/DPO: 32/15

Testing Plans: lots of BFNs.
Vents/Chart stalk/feelings: SO confused. I'm having all these temp spikes, no AF in sight, BFNs since 11 dpo. Anyone experience temp spikes in 2WW??
GTKY What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrationalsomething that has a miniscule chance of ever happening!

I'm wondering the same thing.
Cycle/Month: Month 21

GTKY What is your biggest irrational fear? Not just a regular fear, but it has to be irrationalsomething that has a miniscule chance of ever happening! My fear is someone coming into the house and attacking me when I'm in the shower. No other time, just in the shower. Like attackers know when I'm at my most helpless and least likely to hear. DH once snuck up on me in the shower and I screamed so loud that I made him scream too! He didn't even mean to sneak up, I just didn't hear or see him until his head was around the shower curtain!!
