Cycle 2, month 2
CD 27, 14 DPO
O minus 3 and 2, O plus 1
Tested yesterday BFN
Snow, I love it! We got some snow yesterday and will be taking DS sledding today, I can't wait!
Timing: 0-1, 0 and will try either today or tomorrow too.
Testing plans: Going to wait for AF
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I am pretty sure I O'd yesterday. All of the signs on my chart lead me to believe that way. I was just hoping for a higher spike today. I had super intense O pains yesterday too.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love it! As long as I don't have to drive far in it!
Testing plans: Maybe Tomorrow since I'm getting anxious, but I'm still trying to hold out for AF
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: My temp jumped a little yesterday so I was really excited to see what it was today. Unfortunately, my 5 month old cat has not grown out of kneading yet, will only do it on my neck, and does not understand no matter what I try that I want her to stop. So, after fighting with her for 15 minutes so I could go back to bed, I realized that my alarm would be going off soon and I ruined my chance to temp. I'm still having my first experience with cramps, but since I don't know if my temp is up or dropping, I don't know if they are a good sign or bad.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love it- I grew up in the Southern California Desert, so it was a rare experience. I lived in Germany for a few years and every year when it would start warming up and getting sunny, I would be the only one disappointed by it. Now I live in the South, so I won't be seeing it for a while again.
Testing plans: I usually start at 10dpo, but I only have one test left so I will probably just wait until Christmas Eve to test.....I can't imagine having a better gift than a BFP!! After 15 months, BFNs don't really depress me that much anymore, so it won't ruin my Christmas if it isn't a BFP.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: It's been nice not temping this cycle....never thought I could give up that much control.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? if I don't have to drive in it, then it's not too bad. I do hate though when it starts to melt and it makes such a nasty muddy mess. It's actually snowing right now, with 40mph winds!!

Married in May 2012 TTC since August 2012 BFP 3.2.13 EDD 11.11.13 My Blog
Testing plans: I tested this morning on a wondfo and thought I saw an incredibly, hardly there line and was wondering if all I was seeing was the outline of where the positive line is supposed to be. I tested on a FRER and saw a light line, but still don't believe it's there and am convinced my eyes are playing tricks on me. I refuse to get excited or think much of it, especially because I had a CP in the past. I'll test again tomorrow with an FRER and if there's a more prominent line hopefully confirm with a digital.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.:
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love it when I don't have to worry about myself or DH driving in it... Hate what it turns into on NYC streets - piles of blackness
5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional. 5 BFPs. My rainbow arrived 10/15/14. TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.
Testing plans: If temps stay up then Christmas probably. It dropped this morning, its still pretty high, but I feel like they are going to start dropping, and AF will be here sometime next week.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: see above
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? I like it on Christmas, and during school breaks when I have off, otherwise I don't really care for it.

Cycle 19 BFN ... onto Cycle 20
.........
Cycle I have no fricken clue anymore but still BFN
Testing plans: Almost caved and tested this morning after my temp went up, but I'm trying to hold off until Sunday. Seeing all the BFNs the last few cycles got old fast.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: Still think it's weird that I may have O'd so early.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? As a kid I loved it. As an adult who needs to get to work and be out in it I don't love it as much. Fortunately we've had snow once in the 10 years that I've lived in SC.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: This is my first month charting and it's messing with my head! I can't sleep well knowing that in the morning I'll be temping, and hoping the temp stays up. I had a temp dip this morning. Had one at 9dpo too but it was back up at 10dpo. I got so upset that I tested even though I was not supposed to. And of course BFN. Though I'm starting to understand how people can "imagine" lines. Guess I'll keep temping and testing, but I so hate this!!!
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? I love it when it first falls and everything is pretty. I hate it when it sticks around and turns dirty and gray. And I hate it when it delays DH's flight home, which it'll probably do tonight.
ETA: at about 15 minutes after I POAS, I thought I might see the faintest of faint lines, but that's outside the test window. I just went to the bathroom, and bright red blood on the TP, so I guess I'm just out, though this is not how my period usually starts. That makes this my shortest cycle ever, by 3 or 4 days.

Its almost Friday! - Thank goodness and since I am taking this afternoon off and tomorrow before my job closes for a week- this is my last day until 2013!!
Cycle/Month: 1
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: "Good" but I'm not convinced
Testing plans: I already caved in twice knowing it would be too early. Now will try to wait until tomorrow or Saturday.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: have to be better temping next month. Does it matter if I have to turn off my alarm first?
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it?
Love it when i don't have to go anywhere. Hate it when I do because this city cannot drive in snow.
Thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I think I have my first phantom symptom! The past few days, I've been disgusted by every smell I've come across. Hope it's something!!
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it?
Love snow, but I'm in Texas. We don't see it very often.
Proud Mommy to DS (March 2007) and DD (May 2002)
Baby No. 3 BFP 1/16/2013!!
Cycle/Month: 7/9CD/DPO: 27/8Timing: Pretty good Testing plans: Saturday at 10 DPO because we are going to a weddingthoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: The progesterone is messing with my head. I've been having "symptoms" since a few days ago, but I'm sure they are related to the progesterone I started at 3 DPO. Plus, my temps staying up and not getting AF won't be a good sign for me because I believe I will need to stop the progesterone for AF to come. GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Sort of in between. I love it once or twice and then I'm over it.

Timing: not the best in my opinion. minus 5,3, then O, and plus 1,2.
Testing plans: temp stays up, FX, I'll be testing on the 25th
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I had a temp drop yesterday, I discarded it, because I didn't get any sleep. My temp went up some today from yesterday. It's still below the first big temp spike. I'm just waiting on bated breath. I'm not sure if temping is making this 2ww any easier.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love. It's to bad we don't get any here. We may end up having a Christmas in the 70s

thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: boobs are still 'period' sore, but this my first tww so I am not sure what to expect as 'normal'
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? HATE IT. The man who plows my daycare drive way did not get it done before work this morning, I had to do it and it is HEAVY HEAVY wet snow...still blowing aroung!!

Testing plans: BFN today. I think I will wait until Saturday.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: The other day I had a tiny bit of pink in my underwear when I woke which I figured was from the progesterone (I take it vaginally at night; it's pink). I marked it as spotting and made a note of it This morning there was a lot. Enough that I would consider it actual spotting. I don't ever spot, but I suppose there is a first time for everything. I'm sure this cycle will not be it.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love to look at it from inside; hate to clean it off my car and drive in it.

Testing Plans: I know I shouldnt but I will probably test on Christmas. I have tested out my trigger shot so I know that is gone. If AF doesnt come first, I go in for a beta on the 31 st .
Thoughts/concerns/vents/etc.: Ive been spotting for the last three days. Not sure if that is just ovulation bleeding or if it is a bad signIm trying to keep my hopes up though because this is my first medicated cycle and the first time that I have ovulated since we started TTC.

Cycle/Month: 3/3CD/DPO: 20/11Timing: 3-0, 2-O, not that good. DH was away for work. Testing plans: Today, BFN.thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I never test and now that I am temping and on this board and hearing stories of bfp 10dpo, I caved. My temp went up yesterday and again today so I felt good. I did not like the feeling of seeing bfn and I know I shouldn't have tested, so lesson learned. I'm going back to waiting on AF because I'm not strong enough to see bfn. GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love love love it! DH is off today and and snow is coming here in Chicago this evening and I can't wait to curl up next to DH under the Christmas lights and drink my bfn sorrows away.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I'm sick of my newly pregnant friend texting me to tell me about every single one of her appointments and all of the details. You're pregnant and I'm happy for you, but I do not need or want to know every single detail. Just makes me yearn to be pregnant that much more and therefore harbor feelings of jealousy, which I HATE about myself right now. I understand her pregnancy has no affect on me and whether or not I will get pregnant, but come on! Don't knock a *** when she's down!
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love it when I'm inside, cozy on the couch in my pjs with a big blanket. Hate it when I have to trudge through it and scrape my car.
TTC #1 since 10/14/12 // 1/2013: 7DPO blood work revealed low progesterone/luteal phase defect // 2/2013: DH's SA - Normal // BFP 2/25/13 - EDD 10/30/13
Cycle/Month: 5/5CD/DPO: CD 20, DPO 4Timing: Decent, we hit 2-O, 1-O, and O this month which is way more than previous months Testing plans: Starting 8 DPO, Christmas evethoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I am just getting anxious. DH and I are both getting older, and I just want it to happen. GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? HATE it! But that is only because I always have to get to work in bad weather. If I were a teacher and had snow days, I would enjoy it!
Timing: We hit O this month, I was sick as hell so I am glad we even hit O...
Testing plans: at the earliest I will test will be Saturday, I may however wait until Xmas eve. But I don't think I can wait that long, I am having problems waiting until Saturday.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I am kinda crampy, and really tired. My boobs are a little sore but not really sore, I am sure all this crap is in my head, I am trying so hard not to get to ahead of myself.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? I absolutely LOVE the snow! I live in WA, pretty close to the water so we don't get to much here, we got a dusting the other day but not enough to make a snow angel or a snow man.
Testing plans: I started yesterday and poas again this morning. BFN
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I was so hopeful for this cycle because if my amazingly positive OPK, but I started my period like cramps and backache yesterday and I'm spotting red today. I think tomorrow will be CD 1. I really wanted to be able to tell our families at Christmas.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Hate it. I live in the perpetually frozen tundra also known as South Dakota.

GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it?
Love it! As a Canadian now living in Southern California, I really miss it. It doesn't feel like Christmas here without it. I don't miss the daily window scraping and defrosting every morning though.
Cycle/Month: 1/1 (after loss), 6/6
CD/DPO: 25/10
Timing: O-4, O-2 Testing plans: None, unless I get 5 days past expected AF. That's how I keep myself sane...I get my period before I get a BFN.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: Phantom symptoms are the worst! Why did I get so nauseous eating dinner the other night that I took my temp just to make sure I wasn't getting the flu? Of course I didn't have a fever, so my mind starts racing about what it could mean. IT MEANS NOTHING!!! Haha!
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Hate it!
Its almost Friday! Yay! - After tomorrow I don't have to work until January 2nd!

Testing plans: I will be out of town visiting my in-laws the day after Christmas until New Years' Day, but I'm going to test before NYE so I know if I can have some champagne or not.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: Just happy to see my temps going up post-O, excited to hopefully get some crosshairs on FF for the first time tomorrow!
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? I'm in Michigan, so it's kind of love/hate. Last year we had almost no snow which was weird and so far none this year either. I hope we get some before Christmas. Just doesn't feel Christmas-y without snow!
Its almost Friday!
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 26/7
Timing: good? First month temping...
Testing plans: Christmas morning
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: DH has said he would like to wait a while longer to TTC, but has said that since we did try this month that he will be thrilled if we are. I'm happy we talked, and I'm prepared to wait... But I was just starting to really like this board. Hope you don't mind if I stick around to ask more about charting!
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love because it reminds me of when I used to visit DH in Montana.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I'm completely and utterly exhausted. I wake up thinking about the nap I'm going to take after work. I'm even getting really good sleep since our dogs have let us sleep through the night three nights in a row. I think it has more to do with us needing a new mattress than me being KU'd.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? LOVE it. As a native Michigander, I miss the snow. I prefer driving in the snow over driving in the rain, which is all it does on the Oregon Coast. DH hates the snow and will only refer to it as "that white shiit." I think it's beautiful and wondrous and just so much fun to stomp in.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? I'm in Michigan, so it's kind of love/hate. Last year we had almost no snow which was weird and so far none this year either. I hope we get some before Christmas. Just doesn't feel Christmas-y without snow!
I'm in Michigan too! Dh got a new (to us) snow blower last year because the season before was bad, and then only used it 2 or 3 times last year because it was so mild out.

Testing plans: I don't think I can hold out much longer. I was originally going to just wait and see if AF came, but now I'm thinking that if I have a decently high temp tomorrow AM, I will test (13DPO).
Thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: Last cycle I had a somewhat of a temp drop and AF-like cramps at 12DPO. This morning (12DPO) I had a big temp spike and although I've had some sporadic cramping, I wouldn't say that they feel like regular AF cramps. I'm starting to really get my hopes up which scares me because I don't want to be totally crushed if it's not our cycle.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Meh. In general I dislike winter, however snow can be fun if you don't have to drive in it. I enjoy sledding/tubing, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing.
Testing plans: In the past 11 cycles I've tested 2 times I think and that was the first 2 cycles. I don't see it happening this cycle either.
Thoughts/concerns/vents/etc.: I guess I'll be calling my OB in less than 2 weeks if nothing happens, I'm dreading this.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? In South Carolina it doesn't happen a lot so I love seeing it, but it brings on that damn ice that causes so many problems. We're not prepared for it and people can't drive unless if it's sunny and dry so you can imagine how that goes.

thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: Nope.

Cycle/Month: 10/10
CD/DPO: 19/10
Timing: Good - O-4, O-2, O-1
Testing plans: Almost caved and tested this morning after my temp went up, but I'm trying to hold off until Sunday. Seeing all the BFNs the last few cycles got old fast.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: Still think it's weird that I may have O'd so early.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? As a kid I loved it. As an adult who needs to get to work and be out in it I don't love it as much. Fortunately we've had snow once in the 10 years that I've lived in SC.Cycle/Month: 5/5
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: every day O minus 3 through O plus one.
Testing plans: BFN this morning
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: This is my first month charting and it's messing with my head! I can't sleep well knowing that in the morning I'll be temping, and hoping the temp stays up. I had a temp dip this morning. Had one at 9dpo too but it was back up at 10dpo. I got so upset that I tested even though I was not supposed to. And of course BFN. Though I'm starting to understand how people can "imagine" lines. Guess I'll keep temping and testing, but I so hate this!!!
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? I love it when it first falls and everything is pretty. I hate it when it sticks around and turns dirty and gray. And I hate it when it delays DH's flight home, which it'll probably do tonight.
ETA: at about 15 minutes after I POAS, I thought I might see the faintest of faint lines, but that's outside the test window. I just went to the bathroom, and bright red blood on the TP, so I guess I'm just out, though this is not how my period usually starts. That makes this my shortest cycle ever, by 3 or 4 days.
I would appreciate a chart stalk, but can't make it clicky from my phone. Though I'm now feeling very negative. https://FertilityFriend.com/home/40a7fb/
Blech... :
Its almost Friday! - Thank goodness and since I am taking this afternoon off and tomorrow before my job closes for a week- this is my last day until 2013!!
Cycle/Month: 1
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: "Good" but I'm not convinced
Testing plans: I already caved in twice knowing it would be too early. Now will try to wait until tomorrow or Saturday.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: have to be better temping next month. Does it matter if I have to turn off my alarm first?
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it?
Love it when i don't have to go anywhere. Hate it when I do because this city cannot drive in snow.
CD/DPO: 28/ 13 DPO
Timing: o3, o1, o
Testing plans: waiting til sat.
Thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I think I have my first phantom symptom! The past few days, I've been disgusted by every smell I've come across. Hope it's something!!
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it?
Love snow, but I'm in Texas. We don't see it very often.
Baby No. 3 BFP 1/16/2013!!
Testing plans: Saturday at 10 DPO because we are going to a weddingthoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: The progesterone is messing with my head. I've been having "symptoms" since a few days ago, but I'm sure they are related to the progesterone I started at 3 DPO. Plus, my temps staying up and not getting AF won't be a good sign for me because I believe I will need to stop the progesterone for AF to come. GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Sort of in between. I love it once or twice and then I'm over it.
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD/DPO: 19/5
Timing: not the best in my opinion. minus 5,3, then O, and plus 1,2.
Testing plans: temp stays up, FX, I'll be testing on the 25th
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I had a temp drop yesterday, I discarded it, because I didn't get any sleep. My temp went up some today from yesterday. It's still below the first big temp spike. I'm just waiting on bated breath. I'm not sure if temping is making this 2ww any easier.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love. It's to bad we don't get any here. We may end up having a Christmas in the 70s
Cycle/Month:1/1
CD/DPO:21/6
Timing: o-4, o1, o2
Testing plans:Day after Christms
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: boobs are still 'period' sore, but this my first tww so I am not sure what to expect as 'normal'
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? HATE IT. The man who plows my daycare drive way did not get it done before work this morning, I had to do it and it is HEAVY HEAVY wet snow...still blowing aroung!!Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 20/4
Timing: I think good. O - 4 through O.
Testing plans: Not until the 27th or 28th if my temps stay up. (that would make me 11 or 12 dpo)
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I feel like a negative Nelly with this cycle. Blah.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Loathe It.Cycle/Month: 5/6
CD/DPO: 29/12
Timing: High
Testing plans: BFN today. I think I will wait until Saturday.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: The other day I had a tiny bit of pink in my underwear when I woke which I figured was from the progesterone (I take it vaginally at night; it's pink). I marked it as spotting and made a note of it This morning there was a lot. Enough that I would consider it actual spotting. I don't ever spot, but I suppose there is a first time for everything. I'm sure this cycle will not be it.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love to look at it from inside; hate to clean it off my car and drive in it.R&K married 4.15.11. TTC #1 since 7.11.12

CD/DPO: 24/5
Timing: High
Testing Plans: I know I shouldnt but I will probably test on Christmas. I have tested out my trigger shot so I know that is gone. If AF doesnt come first, I go in for a beta on the 31 st .
Thoughts/concerns/vents/etc.: Ive been spotting for the last three days. Not sure if that is just ovulation bleeding or if it is a bad signIm trying to keep my hopes up though because this is my first medicated cycle and the first time that I have ovulated since we started TTC.

GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love it when I'm snowboarding or staying inside... I hate shoveling it.8/13 BFP! EDD: April 25, 2014
Testing plans: Today, BFN.thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I never test and now that I am temping and on this board and hearing stories of bfp 10dpo, I caved. My temp went up yesterday and again today so I felt good. I did not like the feeling of seeing bfn and I know I shouldn't have tested, so lesson learned. I'm going back to waiting on AF because I'm not strong enough to see bfn. GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love love love it! DH is off today and and snow is coming here in Chicago this evening and I can't wait to curl up next to DH under the Christmas lights and drink my bfn sorrows away.
TTGP March Siggy Challenge
Cycle/Month: 3/3
CD/DPO: 24/5
Timing: According to FF, "high"
Testing plans: Not until 11 DPO at the earliest.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I'm sick of my newly pregnant friend texting me to tell me about every single one of her appointments and all of the details. You're pregnant and I'm happy for you, but I do not need or want to know every single detail. Just makes me yearn to be pregnant that much more and therefore harbor feelings of jealousy, which I HATE about myself right now. I understand her pregnancy has no affect on me and whether or not I will get pregnant, but come on! Don't knock a *** when she's down!
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love it when I'm inside, cozy on the couch in my pjs with a big blanket. Hate it when I have to trudge through it and scrape my car.
Make a pregnancy ticker
Testing plans: Starting 8 DPO, Christmas evethoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I am just getting anxious. DH and I are both getting older, and I just want it to happen. GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? HATE it! But that is only because I always have to get to work in bad weather. If I were a teacher and had snow days, I would enjoy it!
Cycle/Month: 15/13
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: We hit O this month, I was sick as hell so I am glad we even hit O...
Testing plans: at the earliest I will test will be Saturday, I may however wait until Xmas eve. But I don't think I can wait that long, I am having problems waiting until Saturday.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I am kinda crampy, and really tired. My boobs are a little sore but not really sore, I am sure all this crap is in my head, I am trying so hard not to get to ahead of myself.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? I absolutely LOVE the snow! I live in WA, pretty close to the water so we don't get to much here, we got a dusting the other day but not enough to make a snow angel or a snow man.Me: 34 Dh: 41, Married: Oct 15th 2011

GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Hate it. I live in the perpetually frozen tundra also known as South Dakota.

Testing plans: Christmas Eve at 12DPOthoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I'm temping vaginally for the first time this cycle, so it's harder to see my usual patterns
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it?
Love it! As a Canadian now living in Southern California, I really miss it. It doesn't feel like Christmas here without it. I don't miss the daily window scraping and defrosting every morning though.
Testing plans: None, unless I get 5 days past expected AF. That's how I keep myself sane...I get my period before I get a BFN. thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: Phantom symptoms are the worst! Why did I get so nauseous eating dinner the other night that I took my temp just to make sure I wasn't getting the flu? Of course I didn't have a fever, so my mind starts racing about what it could mean. IT MEANS NOTHING!!! Haha! GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Hate it!
Its almost Friday! Yay! - After tomorrow I don't have to work until January 2nd!
Cycle/Month: 2/4
CD/DPO: 80/2
Timing: O-3, O-2, O-1, O
Testing plans: I will be out of town visiting my in-laws the day after Christmas until New Years' Day, but I'm going to test before NYE so I know if I can have some champagne or not.
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: Just happy to see my temps going up post-O, excited to hopefully get some crosshairs on FF for the first time tomorrow!
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? I'm in Michigan, so it's kind of love/hate. Last year we had almost no snow which was weird and so far none this year either. I hope we get some before Christmas. Just doesn't feel Christmas-y without snow!Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 26/7
Timing: good? First month temping...
Testing plans: Christmas morning
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: DH has said he would like to wait a while longer to TTC, but has said that since we did try this month that he will be thrilled if we are. I'm happy we talked, and I'm prepared to wait... But I was just starting to really like this board. Hope you don't mind if I stick around to ask more about charting!
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love because it reminds me of when I used to visit DH in Montana.

Testing plans: Christmas Eve
thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: I'm completely and utterly exhausted. I wake up thinking about the nap I'm going to take after work. I'm even getting really good sleep since our dogs have let us sleep through the night three nights in a row. I think it has more to do with us needing a new mattress than me being KU'd.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? LOVE it. As a native Michigander, I miss the snow. I prefer driving in the snow over driving in the rain, which is all it does on the Oregon Coast. DH hates the snow and will only refer to it as "that white shiit." I think it's beautiful and wondrous and just so much fun to stomp in.Cycle/Month: 5/5

I'm in Michigan too! Dh got a new (to us) snow blower last year because the season before was bad, and then only used it 2 or 3 times last year because it was so mild out.

Its almost Friday! YAY!!!
Cycle/Month: 4/7
CD/DPO: 52/12
Timing: O-3 through O+2
Testing plans: I don't think I can hold out much longer. I was originally going to just wait and see if AF came, but now I'm thinking that if I have a decently high temp tomorrow AM, I will test (13DPO).
Thoughts/concerns/vents/ect.: Last cycle I had a somewhat of a temp drop and AF-like cramps at 12DPO. This morning (12DPO) I had a big temp spike and although I've had some sporadic cramping, I wouldn't say that they feel like regular AF cramps. I'm starting to really get my hopes up which scares me because I don't want to be totally crushed if it's not our cycle.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Meh. In general I dislike winter, however snow can be fun if you don't have to drive in it. I enjoy sledding/tubing, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing.

GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? Love it! Until I have to drive to work.CD/DPO: CD 21 / 5 DPO
Timing: O-3 and O-1
Testing plans: In the past 11 cycles I've tested 2 times I think and that was the first 2 cycles. I don't see it happening this cycle either.
Thoughts/concerns/vents/etc.: I guess I'll be calling my OB in less than 2 weeks if nothing happens, I'm dreading this.
GTKY: Snow. Love it or Hate it? In South Carolina it doesn't happen a lot so I love seeing it, but it brings on that damn ice that causes so many problems. We're not prepared for it and people can't drive unless if it's sunny and dry so you can imagine how that goes.
