**** 2ww Sunday *****

member
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Month/Cycle: 1
CD/DPO: cd 28 and 7 DPO
Timing; O - 4 and O
Phantom Symptoms: I saw a single light pink drop of blood yesterday and got super excited... Trying to remind myself it's likely nothing. Some light cramps this morning and I had to get up to pee a couple times last night.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: I think my chart looks pretty with a clear o date. I don't really feel like my timing was good.
Testing Plans: Thursday at 11 DPO since my LP is 10 days
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? I need curtains and my mom and MIL both want to help so I suggested we all go shopping together. I could feel a little tension as they both wanted to give me suggestions and ideas and both were trying really hard not to step on each others toes. I had a bit of an anxiety attack at first but once I started just looking for what I wanted it was really a lot of fun.

Re: **** 2ww Sunday *****
CD/DPO: 23/7
Timing: Great Timing (-4,-3,-2,-1,O,+1)
Phantom Symptoms: My lower back hurt like a motherducker all day yesterday. We were at an outdoor party and I was on my feet all day. I've really never had lower back pain like that before. I have also been super bloated and had cramps in my lower abdominal area.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: My chart is looking good. My temps rose 5 DPO and have stayed that high for 3 days now. I am not getting my hopes up though.
Testing Plans: I am dying to POAS this morning. I KNOW it will be a BFN but my mind is telling me to try anyways. Although I have the urge to test, I am holding out until at least Wednesday when I am 10 DPO. There is no reason to waste a perfect good HPT when I know without a doubt I will get a BFN today! This tww is killing me, lol.
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? My parents and my in-laws are very-very different from each other. We live 40 minutes away from my parents and my in-laws live about 17 hours away from us. We see them 2-3 times a year when they come up to MI for a visit. When they are here we always have dinner one evening with them, us, and my parents. They get along great for the short time we are all together. My parents (and my DH and I) are very grateful that we have a 17 hour buffer zone between them and us. Everyone gets a long great since we rarely see each other, but if they lived close I think it would be a difficult relationship.
Married: August 2012
DD: 9/22/2014
CD/DPO: CD29/11DPO
Timing; O-2, O-1, O
Phantom Symptoms: My boobs are very sore, I've been peeing a lot, and sleeping a lot. I remember 2 years ago when my BFF said she thought she was KU because she had been peeing a lot. I thought she was crazy, but 2 days later she got her BFP. Now I'm the crazy one.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: Really wishing I had temped this month. Yesterday I was convinced I was pregnant. This morning I had a tiny bit of brown spotting, so I'm pretty sure CD1 will be tomorrow.
Testing Plans: Every day until AF comes
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? They live an hour and a half apart, and we live 2 states away, so they haven't seen each other since the wedding. Our moms got along just fine, and they talked on the phone a few times when we were planning the wedding. Our dads have literally nothing in common, so that would be awkward if we forced them to hang out.
I'm not an expert. Its really hard to tell because there are a lot of open circles.
What time do you temp each morning? And is it after 3 hours of sleep?
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD/DPO: 25... i think 7 ish
Timing; not good
Phantom Symptoms: nothing out of the ordinary
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: i have GOT to start temping next month...
Testing Plans: tested today BFN shocker... DH comes home today would have been a nice BDay suprise AF is "due" in 3 days... So I'll wait til probably Friday since I O'ed later
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? absolutely, like peanut butter and jelly.
Last check in before I move over to waiting to O again :-(
CD35; cycle 4; 16dpo (on progesterone so that is why my LP is so long)
tons of phantom symptoms and it caused severe MF this cycle but all for nothing! Boo.
Although this cycle was not a success, I love my chart. I tried very hard to be consistent and it paid off. I hope that I O earlier next cycle though. I think my CP last month affected things?? I guess time will tell.
No more testing plans obviously. I also vow to not have any tests at home next cycle so that I am not tempted. The testing stuff was driving me nuts. I think I am just going to wait it out. We shall see if I can actually pull that off though ;-)
My family gets along ok with my MIL. She has a pretty dominating personality so she is a bit much at times. They would not be friends otherwise, she is a bit flaky and unreliable. My family expends a lot more effort then she does-if that makes sense.

Ok. The three hours is the most important part IMO.
I guess id just go with ff. your timeing is great either way and changing your chart manually wont change that.
Good luck
CD/DPO: 21/7 (or 4 or 2)
Timing: FF says I O'd on CD14 so timing is 0-1
Phantom Symptoms: I'm feeling some nausea and irritability. I had a heachach yesterday for the first time in a long time. Slightly sore boobs and nipples, however I've been on vacation from work so home with DS all day and he's been nursing a lot more than usual. I've also been getting some dizziness/vertigo which was my first symptom with DS.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: Can I get a chart stalk please? FF says I O'd CD14 which lines up with my +OPK on CD12. I'm thinking CD17 (lines up with EWCM and CP) or CD19 lines up with my temps. It really could be either one I think. I'm still BFing my son so I think that has been messing with my hormones/charting.
Testing Plans: I'm not gonna lie, I've been testing daily since CD18. I have a bunch of IC that are about to expire so I figure either I pee on them or throw them out, might as well fill my POAS addiction and pee on them.
GTKY: They get along but rarely ever see eachother unless it's a big event like wedding or DS birthday.
CD/DPO: 13/ 3 although I dont agree with CD 10 as my O day
Timing: sucked only 0 minus 3
Phantom symptoms: heartburn and along with heartburn comes gas
Chart stalks/rants/raves: I dont agree with my O day. OPKs are getting darker each day so I think within the next couple of days those will say positive...idk
Testing plans: wait it out
GTKY: they get along fine. My parents have invited my in laws to functions and they can talk.
CD/DPO: 23/6
Timing: O-3, O-2, O-1, O+1
Phantom symptoms: Gassy (lovely), and some dull pressure in my lower abdomen. My biggest symptom though, is that my CP has changed from LFC to high firm and closed. I've never had this happen before and it's been that way consistently since yesterday. Fingers crossed!
Chart stalk/Rants/Raves: I'm just ready to get to next week so I can take my first HPT for #2. I hate waiting!
Testing plans: I love peeing on things, so I'm going to try to hold out until Wednesday or Thursday but I make no promises!
9 angels in heaven-3 in my arms and 1 in the NICU
Mono/di twin girls: Josephine born to heaven and Evangeline born Earthside at 25w
CD/DPO: CD 23 and DPO 5
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Phantom Symptoms: nothing that's popping out besides cramping like crazy, dizziness, and a lot more CM than normal. It's weird CM so if I'm not KU this cycle I need to visit the doctors because I might have a YI!
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: I think my chart looks good for the first time around!
Testing Plans: I probably won't test until Friday at the earliest.
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? Yes, very well actually!
CD/DPO: CD 15/6 dpo
Timing: good according to FF
Phantom Symptoms:Nada.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: I don't believe my crosshairs. It says I ovulated on CD9 although I didn't even get a positive OPK on wondfo and CB digital until CD 10. FF is going by temps, but I temped really early on cd 9. Who knows! If anyone has any insight please feel free to help!
Testing Plans: none, because I'm almost positive this just wasn't it. The early ovulation has me feeling negative.
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? They do get along.
CD/DPO: cd 22 and 6 DPO
Timing: IUI at 12 hours - O
Phantom Symptoms: I had a lot of cramping 3DPO and 4DPO. My breasts are sore and feel heavy. Otherwise, nothing.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: The first half of my chart was screwed up because the battery in my thermometer was dying. The readings were super wonky so I replaced it two days before O. I know O day was correct, but I'm pissed that the beginning of my chart isn't accurate.
Testing Plans: I am testing the HCG trigger shot out of my system. It was still in my system yesterday. I'll test again tomorrow, and, if it is out I'll take a test on Saturday (10 DPO). If HCG injection is not out my system tomorrow, I'll test every two days until I see it leave.
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? Thankfully, yes. Then again, they live on opposite ends of the country. My parents live in Tennessee and come visit a few times each year. DH parents lived about 2.5 hours from us. DH's mother passed away a few years ago, so now it is just his father.
Month/Cycle: 8
CD/DPO: CD27 DPIUI 14
Timing; Great
Phantom Symptoms: pretty crampy and increased CM but BFN so I am waiting for AF it always shows up 14dp so far nothing no spotting, Ill wait a couple more days call dr on tuesday if no AF bloodwork to check for BFP or BFN if bloodwork confirms BFN progesterone to get cycle going.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: I am ready for this cycle to be over, of course I would love a BFP but doesnt seem like it.
Testing Plans: Will test tuesday morning before calling doctor.
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? For the most part they wouldnt be friends if my SO and I werent togehter but they communicate and get along when together.
Married in September 2010, started TTC journey November 2012
Me-
7 IUI- 2 CP- 2 BFN
RPL blood work 12/27, showed a balance translocation in chromosome 11;22
Spouse-
PCOS 4 IUI-4 BFN
New Plan: Reciprocal IVF, me as carrier wife's eggs. Just went through insurance and received partial approval, so my part will go through my IVF benefits and wife's part will be out of pocket. Now just finalizing finance plans to cover the oop costs. Doctors office is in process of moving to a new building so there are no IVF start ups until March/April 2015.
Month/Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: CD 25 / DPO 10 (although not for sure, since I'm not charting yet)
Timing: Great
Phantom Symptoms: So bloated today that I can't stand it. Also, a bit crampy (and crabby). I'm convinced these are PMS symptoms.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: I'll probably give it one more go next month and then start charting after that. I need to do some research (I know many of you use FF). I hope it's not too difficult. I also hope it won't make me more obsessive than I already am...
Testing Plans: Going to test Wednesday morning (AF due on Thursday)
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? They've only met a handful of times (our wedding, my bridal shower). My MIL is a bit crazy and doesn't get along with hardly anyone. We all live in different states, so not much chance to get together as a big group.
CD/DPO: 26/9
Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0
Phantom Symptoms: Bloating, exhaustion, lower back ache. But, I'm over analyzing so who really knows.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: Someone wrote earlier that they had a dip in their temps which could signal implantation dip? I had a dip 3DPO below my cover line. Thought it was weird... trying not to read into it though as I had never heard of that before.
Testing Plans: I'm crazy, so I've been testing since 7DPO. This am was with a FR and it was a BFN. We will be TTA for two months due to timing in the spring so I'm going to test everyday until AF arrives.
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? My parents get along with just about anyone, but they are closer to my MIL and SFIL than my FIL and SMIL. My MIL and SFIL come for family events, cookouts, etc. We've been together for 6 years and the first time FIL and SMIL met was at our rehearsal dinner for our wedding. Eh, oh well.
I got very excited about a single drip of blood at 6dpo which I really want to be implantation bleeding but that could be nothing. I haven't had a temp dip.
That said, good luck and I hope you get a BFP this cycle
Thank you, same to you!!
CD/DPO: CD28, not temping so don't know O
Timing; EOD most of the month and ED during FW
Phantom Symptoms: Some light cramping, but other than that nothing.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: Not much at this point. But if this isn't the one I'm definitely starting OPKs next month. Can't do the EOD all month thing again!
Testing Plans: Tested yesterday in the middle of the day basically because I was bored, obviously got a BFN. AF should be here Wednesday so I'm going to try to wait until then.
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? For the most part. They are very different (in-laws are very liberal and my family is pretty conservative), but they don't spend a ton of time together so they are usually fine.
BFP #2 9/28/13....EDD 6/7/14
9 angels in heaven-3 in my arms and 1 in the NICU
Mono/di twin girls: Josephine born to heaven and Evangeline born Earthside at 25w
CD/DPO: 23/7
Timing; -4,-1,O
Phantom Symptoms: I'm having hot flashes and nausea, but that's not super unusual for my 2WW. The main thing is my ridiculously sore boobs, and the period like cramps that I've had on and off yesterday and today. I also have some serious swap crotch, which is unpleasant.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: I hade a nice, pretty temp spike today. I rarely get above 97.6, so 97.3 was exciting!
Testing Plans: I may test Wednesday at 10 DPO if I get impatient, but I'm going to try to hold out until next Sunday at 14 DPO, if I even make it that long without AF.
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? They've never had any altercations to my knowledge, but I don't think they'd ever be best friends. Our dads would probably be ok, but are moms could not be more different, and not in a compatible way.
My LP is only 10 days long so AF comes fast after ovulation.
And thanks
CD/DPO: 35/No idea anymore
Timing: No clue
Phantom symptoms:
Slight Cramping/Twinges, Lower back pain, Extreme Fatigue, Sore Boobs (which NEVER happens), Headaches
Chart stalks/rants/raves: I'm so confused. I'm not charting or anything so of course I have no idea what's. going on. My period was due between the 1st and 3rd but nothing yet. So, either. I O'd later than I thought or I'm late....Grrrrrr.
Testing plans: I tested on Friday, the 2nd & it was BFN. Gonna hold out until this Friday, the 9th, to see if my period shows.
GTKY: I've never met my MIL so neither have my parents. I think they'd get along great though. My parents can't stand my FIL. Hell, neither can I...
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: CD 27 / DPO 7
Timing: Awesome.
Phantom Symptoms: Every now and then one of my boobs hurts. Other than that, nothing.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: Traveling next week with family in small quarters, so I may have to stop charting for the rest of this cycle, and that makes me
(
Testing Plans: Aug 16 per FF
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? Yeah, but they just don't see each other all that often. When together, it's fine!
CD/DPO: 27/13
Timing: freaking great... not that it did us any good this month
Phantom Symptoms: blah
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: My rave is that I'm still here even though I know this wasn't our cycle... come on body... get with the program and let's get this show on the road
Testing Plans: that ship has sailed... onto the next month
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? They get along fine, but are just totally different. Neither of them go out of their way to hang out with the others, but they are fine when we are all together.
Month: 3
Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: CD27 DPO: 7
Timing: Good, -3, -1, O, +1
Phantom Symptoms: Nothing...an upset stomach, but pretty sure it's the Mexican I had for lunch.
Chart Stalk: I'm just getting started charting, but used OPKs, (which I know aren't 100% accurate, but info is base don that)
Testing Plans: I'd like to make myself wait another week, when I'm 14 DPO and should have AF if it's coming, but know I won't be able to (especially with my super pack of wondfos coming tomorrow) so likely 10DPO.
GTKY: My parents and in-laws are awkward around each other. My in laws are awkward in general, so when they try and interact with normal people (ie, my parents) it just gets weird. They would definitely NOT be friends if we weren't married. They're just way too different. Plus, DH's parents are 66 and mine just turned 51.
ETA: added timing info
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: CD 21 / DPO 9 (I am guessing here, I had no definitive O through FF)
Timing: -4,-3,-1 +1,+3,+4
Phantom Symptoms: Slight breast tenderness, but this happened last month too for a few days, even though it is rarely a symptom I get.
Chart Stalk/Rants/Raves: I did not start charting until CD10, but I never got a positive OPK and I only had two days of temp rises. I am guessing I O'd on CD12, but it is possible I never did. At this point AF is due in 5 days and I find it unlikely I have not O'd yet. But today I had a pretty big temp drop so I am guessing AF will be happening soon....
Testing Plans: I will wait until Saturday if AF has not started yet.
GTKY: Do your parents and in-laws get along? They do get along pretty well, more the Moms. However, I always get nervous when they are together. Mine are fairly conservative, don't drink (well my mom does on occasion), don't swear, pretty religious, but his are fairly outspoken and will definitely hang out and party with us. Also his parents knew we were having sex FAR before mine ever did. I still wonder if my dad thought I was a virgin until we married, and I doubt it would happen but I am always afraid something would come up about how often I slept over DH's house while we were dating....
