#2 BFP Feb 5/2013 - EDD Oct 16/2013
Re: *~*~ 2 WW Jan 2 ~*~*
Cycle/month - 2/2
CD/dpo - 20/7
Timing - O-3, O-2, O-1 (with positive OPK), O (with positive OPK)...we didn't get to +1
Testing plans - FF predicts AF Jan 10 (next Thursday), if no AF by sat, Jan 12th, I'll test then because we are going to dinner and I'd like a heluva lot of red wine if I am not. Jan 12th will be 17 DPO for me.
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - NYE we spent the night at our in-laws house. I forgot my thermometer which ticked me off. I could've discretely temped. On the other hand, there were 2 very sick kids in the house so listening to them cough all night, I wouldn't of had 3 hours of straight sleep to properly temp anyway.
charts stalk/questions - nah...my FF chart won't work in my siggy and I cannot delete the broken link anyway, so there is no point to ask for a chart stalk.
Symptoms - nothing. Only DPO 7 today anyway. Just tired from lack of sleep from the holidays and eating junk
Come on treadmill after this weekend!!
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? We started packing away gifts last night, still have some left. We'll take our garland and misc. things down tonight. Tree will definitely be down by tomorrow night. I want everything put away and the house cleaned by the time Friday comes!
My BFP Chart || Ovulation Calendar
Cycle/month - 6/7
CD/DPO - 21/3
Timing - -3, -1, O, +1
Testing plans - none
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - Just enjoying my last day off before heading back to school.
charts talks/questions - My chart isn't pretty, but I have CHs today. Today's temp would be a really low post-O temp for me, so I'm starting to question whether I really did O or not. My +OPK was an almost positive, so I just went ahead and marked it. With the jump on New Year's Day (obvious because of alcohol and crazy sleep schedule), I'm not sure I can trust my chart yet. Guess only a few more temps will confirm.
Symptoms - nada
GTKY - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? I took everything down on Dec 30.

BFP 5.4.14 ~ EDD 1.12.15 ~ stick little bean!
TTGP 2013 Best Blog ~ Fruit ~ My BFP Chart
Cycle/month - 5/6
CD/dpo - 35/13, although I don't think I believe that anymore. I'm think I'm probably 11DPO
Timing - excellent
Testing plans - BFN today
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - big temp drop this morning. Pretty sure I'm out. This sucks.
Symptoms - PMS. I'm going to be a peach at work today.
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? Ours will stay up until at least next weekend. We are doing a late Xmas with my in-laws and they get here Thursday.
CD 23 7/8 DPO
Timing If I am 7 DPO I hit O minus 31, O and O plus 1. If I am 8 DPO I we hit O minus 23, O and O plus 1.
Testing plans I'm going to start on Saturday which will be 10 or 11 DPO
Thoughts/rants/raves/ I sole myself out every time this time of my cycle comes around as much as I try not to. I had my HSG this month and I hear odds of conception can increase within 3 months of the test
charts talks/questions well I had a temp rise today which I have never had before... Hopefully this is a good sign?
Symptoms none... Which usually I have some cramping and sore boobies.
Gtky How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? I took mine down last weekend. I would leave them up all winter if it was socially acceptable. I love the way the house looks all sparkly.
Hi! I'm new! Already introduced myself on the newbie board so I'm doing it here!
Cycle/month - 2/2
CD/dpo - 6 dpo
Timing - Eh, pretty good.
Testing plans - Couldn't help myself this morning and POAS. BFN of course!
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - DH wasn't in the mood the day before and of ovulation. I couldn't hide my disappointment and now I'm worried our timing was off.
I'm basically just waiting for my BBs to hurt and I have this paranoia that they won't. I'm so off the wall right before AF. I feel like a nutcase!
charts talks/questions - Has anyone else conceived without sore BBs? Mine don't typically get too tender around/during AF so I was just curious.
Symptoms - Gassy! (Sorry for TMI!) lol Also a stuffy nose and SUPER emotional. DH sang our song to me last night thinking I was asleep and I started crying.
Gtky - Hopefully I can get them down today! It's been one day too long!
Cycle/month - 5/5
CD/dpo - 21/7
Timing - -4, -2, -1, +1, +2
Testing plans - not sure, may have to test on Friday though only 9dpo as I have my annual OB/GYN appt
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - not really ready to get back into the swing of work/school/DH being gone for 12+ hours a day...I really enjoyed all the visitors we had over Christmas, esp since we have no family in the area
charts talks/questions - I think my chart looks pretty good, temps have stayed up since O with little dips here and there.
Symptoms - None really, just a bit nauseous and REALLY hoping we don't get the stomach flu after having the upper respiratory crud for the last two weeks (kids and DH, somehow it missed me)
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? I am really sad to have to take them down, but will likely start in the next few days. My 4 yo DD is going to have a hard time with it all, so I have to wait until she is back in school to start.
~Team green turned Blue on 4/6/14~
CD/dpo CD 30
Timing not great
Testing plans BFN on Monday
Thoughts/rants/raves/ charts talks/questions Symptoms I had a little. Brown spotting last night so I'm assuming AF will be here shortly. I just want her to get here at this point so I can move on
Gtky How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? I hope to take all decorations down this week. Gifts are all put away...except for the mass amounts of toys!!! Thank god for a playroom!
Copycat
And I definitely will. I'm heading to a yoga class and then I plan to clean out the DVR. One last day of freedom!

Cycle/month - 10/17
CD/dpo - 32/9
Timing - O-1, O
Testing plans - FF suggests Sunday. It'll be hard to keep myself from testing Saturday!
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - Meh.
charts talks/questions - My amazingly pretty chart is going downhill... Literally.
Symptoms - None really. Tired, but feeling a little crampy today.
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? It all gets taken down today. I had a bowl game to watch yesterday or they'd already be gone!
April 2013: Femara + Trigger + IUI = ???
Cycle/month - 7/7, 2/2 After loss
CD/dpo - 12/1
Timing - Awful, O-1
Testing plans - None
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - We sucked it up in the BD department. DH hasn't been feeling well for the last week, so it was to be expected. We'll see what happens.
charts talks/questions -
Symptoms -
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? I took everything down on the 29th. It's nice to have an uncluttered house! Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and decorations and trees, but it's really nice when it all comes down and your house looks so refreshed and open!
Cycle/month - 1/1
CD/dpo - 21/12 (I think)
Timing - Good
Testing plans - Still trying to hold out for the 7th. AF is due around the 5th, so we'll see which comes first
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - Actually remembered to temp today! Bought the thermometer last week but keep forgetting to use it before coffee. DH is finally coming around to me charting/temping, though he still refers to it as my "science experiment". As soon as the alarm went of this morning he rolled over and asked if I had taken my temp yet
charts talks/questions - Not much to stalk yet, first day of temping.
Symptoms - Massive headache today, and nausea on and off. Don't think it has to do with being pregnant, sadly. There's a flu bug going around. Ugh.
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? Hoping to sort through the pile of gifts tonight and put them away. Will probably leave the tree up till the weekend. We didn't put many decorations up this year since my dad passed away Dec 9 and we were away for that whole week to be with my mum.
My Ovulation Chart
CD/dpo: 64/14
Timing: not good enough
Testing plans: nope
Thoughts/rants/raves/: I don't know if it's because I haven't had AF in 2 months, but I am PMSing something terrible. Last night I had a major headache and felt nauseous, plus I am super moody, but I still haven't gotten AF yet. Tested just in case and got a BFN, so there's no chance of that. I'm just over it...have never wanted to use a tampon or pad so badly in my life!
charts talks/questions: none
Symptoms: period related, everything in the book!
Gtky: How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year?
Everything stays up till the weekend, then back into boxes it goes till next year. I hate taking down the tree too...it's dry and half dead at this point, and sheds needles everywhere! I'll be finding pine needles till March no matter how much I vacuum.
Cycle/month -1/1
CD/dpo - 15/1
Timing - O
Testing plans - jan 14, if I can hold out that long.
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - I know I ovulated yesterday (I felt it and had it confirmed by u/s) but my temps aren't really jumping up yet. I'm probably being impatient but usually my temp goes way up. I had a terrible sleep last night, though, so maybe that's the culprit.
charts talks/questions - see above
Symptoms - it's only day 1. We'll see in a week or 2
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year?
I didn't decorate at all, we just aren't that into it. Maybe next year, if we have a baby, I'll be more into the idea.

LONG road through IF ending in heartbreak and frustration.
Cycle/month - 1/1
CD/dpo - 18/4
Timing - Good (-4, -2, O, +1, +2, +3)
Testing plans - This is my first 2ww, so not sure. Probably try at 12-14 DPO?
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - I never knew that 2ww could go by so slowly when you are waiting...on the bright side, waking up at 6am is easier every morning because I open my eyes and am excited/nervous to temp everyday now.
charts talks/questions - Still working on learning how to interpret my chart.
Symptoms - None so far...too early.
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? Started cleaning up everything yesterday since I had the day off, the last of it will go by the end of this weekend...the tree is dropping needles like WOAH now
.
Cycle/month - 6/3
CD/dpo - 20/6
Timing - O-2,O-1..."good" according to FF
Testing plans - Trying to wait until 10dpo (got a + on digi wth DS), but I will probably start 8dpo with FRER because I am too impatient (seeing a - doesn't really bother me at this point)
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - I am so sick...I can't stand it anymore! I've had this cough/cold now off and on for over a month! It gets better, then comes back...I finally broke down and called my dr's today. They can get me in at 11:15, so I am leaving work and going to the appt. I might come back, I might not, lol. I woke up at 2:30 last night with a coughing fit, so I took NyQuil (didn't want to, because of being in the 2WW, but at this point I'm desperate!). So now I feel like a zombie because of the meds I took...My DH asked me 3 times yesterday if I was pregnant (I wanted to stab him after the 2nd time) because I am moody, I was starving all day, and everything I ate tasted funny (that happened with DS, but I didn't know I was pregnant at the time). I told him, "it's because IM SICK, lol...I can't taste anything and my taste buds are messed up", geesh, Men!
charts stalk/questions - nothing really
Symptoms - nothing I can contribute to being pregnant since I'm only 6dpo, but my bbs are very tender, I'm tired (sick), food tasting funny (sick), very hungry yesterday, bloated, etc.
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? I usually will take down the inside decorations sometime this week, but I am still sick so I just don't feel like doing anything! Our outside lights we usually leave up through January because I like them up with the snow, I think it's really pretty!
Cycle/month -4/5
CD/dpo -27/5.. after looking at my chart and previous months I just don't think o'd 5 days ago. I think I O'd 6 days ago on CD 21, i've had gradual rises in previous months and I had fertile CM that day and the days prior.. but who knows. My CH were initially at CD19.
Timing - good or high depending on when I o'd
Testing plans -I don't know really, I could be anywhere from 8DPO to 5 DPO right now
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - I think I will start using Opk's next month if this cycle is not it. Although my temps are very close to my temp pattern from my pregnancy in Oct.. fingers are crossed.. but I know this could mean absolutely nothing

Symptoms -
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? we took down the tree last night.. holy pine needles !!! I still have DS's fake tree and some garlands to take down but nothing big.
Cycle/month - 4 & 4
CD/dpo - 22 & FF puts me at 13DPO (I wonder if 10 DPO)
Timing - great
Testing plans - none
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - Big temp drop today.

Cycle/month - 3/3
CD/dpo - 17/2 (I think)
Timing - O-3, O, O+1
Testing plans - Really going to try to stay strong and not test but we'll see.
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - First day back at work after being off for 2 weeks blows.
charts talks/questions - I hate my chart and I think my high temps early in the cycle are going to screw up getting CHs. That combined with my crazy temp spike on New Year's day from drinking and little sleep when I think I O'd is going to make this month hard to read I think. Will just have to wait and see what it does.
Symptoms - None, just tired from actually having to wake up early today.
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? I think I'm going to take them down next weekend, didn't have it in me yesterday to do it.

Timing - pretty good
Testing plans - I'm bananas, so I'll probably start this coming weekend.

BFP#1 EDD 9/19/13, M/C at 9wk6dy
Cycle/month - 1/1
CD/dpo - CD10
Timing - ? Not sure what this is.
Testing plans - I guess I'll test if/when I start having symptoms. This is our first month trying.
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - Woke up with a little cold yesterday. Hubby, the pup, and I went to the mountains to play in the snow. Bad idea! By the end of the day I was really congested and head-achy. I feel like poo.
charts talks/questions - How common is it to "temp"? Is it a necessity? I just don't think I have diligence to take my temp first thing every morning.
Symptoms - n/a
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? We are moving into our first home (We're homeowners!!) in a week or so...didn't feel the need to put up decorations this year since we are in the midst of packing. I have to say, I missed it. I wish I had decorated.
Looks good to me for what its worth. A few more days of temps may tell a better truth

Cycle/month - 1/1 (first post Mirena)
CD/dpo - 25/9
Timing - O-2, O ("good")
Testing plans - None unless I'm late.
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - My boobs have been sore and full for days. Its been so long since I've felt this (used to be a AF sign before DD, not while on Mirena). But a week before AF? Hmmm.
charts talks/questions - If you want to look: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/22dedd

Cycle/month - 9/13
CD/dpo - 12/31
Timing - O-3, O-1
Testing plans - BFN at 11dpo
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - Temp has been up & down all LP, but it's down again, and I've been spotting, so I'm pretty sure I'm out.
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? Until this weekend, when I have time to put them away.
DS: 10/11/14
CD/dpo - 27/11
Timing - Good
Testing plans - Planning to test on Saturday unless AF comes before then
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - This is my first cycle TTC and I never imagined this wait would be so tough! I know I should just relax because the chances of being pregnant on the first "try" are very low. I feel like I keep imagining symptoms. It's hard not to get your hopes up though!
charts talks/questions - Yesterday I decided to put all my past data into FF and I really like the format (I have been temping for a few months to get a pattern). However, for this month it is saying I O'd four days later than I thought I did so I hope that's not the case. If I go by what FF says I would probably have a 35 day cycle and normally 30 is my longest. Anyone else "disagree" with what FF says?
Symptoms - cramping yesterday, boobs are pretty tender today, and temp is still up
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? Took most of them down the past two days... just need my DH to bring home a ladder to finish up.

Testing plans - tested 10 and 11 DPO. BFNs. Will test again if AF is late.
Thoughts/rants/raves/ - Can this cycle please be it? I'm not out yet.
charts talks/questions - N/A
Symptoms - a ton of egg white / creamy CM which is unusual for this point in my cycle.
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out, now that we are into the New Year? - We'll probably take everything down this weekend. I always leave everything up at least through New Years.
Baby #2 M/C 4/5/16
Yeah, sorry I haven't taken the time to link it in my siggy yet, but hopefully this link works: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/41830c
I don't know if you can go back and look at past cycles, but it seems I normally O around CD 16, and luteal phase is 13 or 14 days. So I think I O'd on CD 16 this time, based on temp drop (wasn't really checking CM, I need to start doing that), not CD 20 like FF says. I guess there is really no way to tell, but any insight would be appreciated! Thanks
Toby, my furry baby

CD/DPO - CD17 / 7DPO
Timing - Bad due to the holidays
Testing plans - None unless AF doesn't show by 1/14 or I have an ACTUAL temp spike before then
Thoughts - Another wonky cycle. FF gave me crosshairs on CD10. I disagree since my temps are always up and down, all I had was 1 day of watery CM and I've had all neg OPKs (I do realize I could have missed a surge though). However, my temps are still slightly above the coverline it assigned to me I guess I'll go with it for now. I will not be surprised if I rejoin the Waiting to O thread again soon and I'm keeping a careful eye on CM in case I'm right and I haven't O'd.
Symptoms - none
Gtky - How long will you leave your Christmas decorations and gifts out now that we are into the New Year? I've been steadily putting some away since yesterday. If I can find the time this weekend I'd like to put them all away except the outside lights and candles in the windows. I usually hate admitting that Christmas is over and don't want to pack it all up but for some reason I'm over it this year.
I think maybe you're more in the Waiting to O category, than the 2 week wait, if you're on CD10. As PP stated, timing relates to the days of your fertility window you had sex. And yes, many people here use temping to confirm ovulation. It's not the only way to time sex around ovulation, but it is the only way to confirm ovulation. Most of us use Fertility Friend to help chart our data.
