AandJ28 · September 2013

Good Morning All!

Cycle / Month: 6/10

CD/DPO: 27/13

Timing: O-4,-3,-2,-1

Testing Plans: So confused now! Friday 9/16 is AF has not made an appearance before then

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: Ok I'm thoroughly confused! Sunday morning I had the slightest bit of light brown cm during FMU. Then creamy/white cm the rest of the day. I thought for sure AF would show yesterday since this is typical PMS for me. Yesterday, I had the light brown cm all day again... so I was all down (remember me? Debbie Downer yesterday?!) thinking for sure that AF would be here last night or for sure first thing this morning. I had cramping all day yesterday but not typical PMS cramping. It's more like pulling and pinching (especially on my left side). This morning I woke up and was all "Ok here we go. AF is definitely here." But still - nothing. No brown cm, no AF. Hmm... I've never gone more than 12DPO so perhaps this is a wonky cycle?! I don't have the cramping anymore but have a heavy feeling and feel like I need to pee. I'm not asking if I'm pg in any way so please don't think that.

I'm thinking that it's all in my mind and AF will definitely be here today at some point. I guess we'll wait and see. Oh and I stopped temping this cycle as I was sure I was out so can't look to a chart for answers...

GTKY: Where did you go to college? University of Hartford

MrsAMB07 · September 2013

Cycle / Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 21/2

Timing: not too good, O-4, O-1

Testing Plans: I'll probably try to wait out AF since I'm not feeling this timing

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: none yet, hoping for CH tomorrow

GTKY: Where did you go to college? The College of NJ... if you're outside NJ you probably never heard of it!

hupp0013 · September 2013

thehunterswife · September 2013

Cycle / Month: 7/11

CD/DPO: 38/5

Timing: -1 & -3

Testing Plans: 10DPO and 12DPO

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: none really. My boobs hurt like crazy but they always do pretty much from o until AF

GTKY: Where did you go to college? University of Wisconsin Milwaukee

Savvy122 · September 2013

So excited to be joining in... my first 2WW!

Cycle/Month: 1/2

CD/DPO: CD36 / 4DPO according to FF, but I think it's actually 2DPO

Timing: Good. Not great. The start of football season has interfered with my baby-making plans. My H is obsessed! I got denied THREE TIMES this weekend. Boo.

Testing Plans: No plans yet. AF would be due Sept. 22, so probably then.

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: Nothing at the moment!

GTKY: Where did you go to college? Clarion University of PA

jpbling · September 2013

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: CD25 / 10DPO

Timing: ehh...not the best. It's a bummer too - because now we will be benched until at least December to try again.

Testing Plans: Tested this morning - no line in the 10 minute window - but I noticed when I looked in the trash can there is a faint positive (but this was about 5 minutes past the 10 minute window so I am not reading into it.) Will test again on Thursday, because it's our wedding anniversary.

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: Feel free to peek at my chart - it's wacky doodle. I took a dollar store OPK which was positive on the 15th and faint positive on the 16th - the directions of the test say when you get a positive you will ovulate within 24-48 hours AFTER that, but FF thinks I ovulated on the 15th. Who knows.

GTKY: Where did you go to college? Ughhh - I was a loser and went to 3 colleges to get a Bachelor's degree (and took WAY too long to do it..) Started at UCONN, moved back home to Maine and went to USM, then finished out my degree online at Fort Hays State University.

Milagros315 · September 2013

Cycle / Month: 16/14

CD/DPO: 19/7

Timing: O-2,O-1,O

Testing Plans: 13 dpo. I think.

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: I have all of my typical 2ww symptoms - sore boobs, headache, pelvic ache/light cramps. Even though I know nice charts mean absolutely nothing, especially at 7 dpo, I admit that I'm feeling hopeful for the first time in many months. Being hopeful is a good thing, I just hope I don't get too disappointed.

GTKY: Where did you go to college? Temple University, PA.

cas889 · September 2013

Cycle / Month: 4

CD/DPO: CD 18, 6 DPO

Timing: -2. -1. O

Testing Plans: Would love to wait until 14 dpo, but I know I won't, so I'm aiming for at least 10 dpo.

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: Temp jumped up this morning but I woke up earlier and felt warmer in general so I'm not sure it's accurate. Phantom symptom this morning of heartburn. It was just a quick thing but not usual for me.

GTKY: Where did you go to college? Towson University

gutsysneakers · September 2013

Cycle / Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 34/12

Timing: O-4, O-3, O-1, O+1

Testing Plans: I caved this AM and tested FMU...I think I see a squinter! It was on a $ store test, so I'm going to use a FRER tomorrow morning. I'm waiting to test with a FRER and get a + before telling DH.

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: Cramping and nausea in 6-9 DPO. Oddest thing happened to me last night at the gym. I was in my strength training class (think bar bells, weights, etc.) and I felt so weak. I felt so light headed that I left class early. In the parking lot, I felt like I needed to throw up and dry-heaved a few times, but nothing would come up. I hit up the $ store on the way home last night to test this AM.

GTKY: Where did you go to college? Tiny school in Grand Rapids, MI.

@jcrewgirl85 FX for you!!!!

Pintobean39 · September 2013

@jcrewgirl85 good luck

Cycle / Month: 21

CD/DPO: 20/7

Timing: good

Testing Plans: I want to hold out to 14dpo but seriously who am I kidding

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants:

I'm just bitchy and everything is annoying me. PMS really sucks and my lp last month was 14 days so I have another 7 days of this.

GTKY: Where did you go to college?
Louisiana Tech and Southeastern La Univ

marajay6 · September 2013

Cycle / Month: 2

CD/DPO: CD 22 / DPO ?? (Not temping/charting this cycle)

Timing: We were going EOD for a while

Testing Plans: I tested yesterday (BFN). not planning on testing again until next Monday or Tuesday

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: Currently symptom free. I had spotting last Thursday and a agian yesterday. Spotting isn't normal for me, but just coming off birth control I am realizing that I have no idea what normal is any more. I just assumed things would revert to how they were pre-BC. I am definitely temping/charting next cycle so I can gain a better understanding. I am being too hypersensitive about every little symptom and driving myself insane.

GTKY: Where did you go to college?
Michigan Tech

I am impressed that you have not tested yet. I would be testing!

tkturbo2012 · September 2013

Cycle / Month: 5/4

CD/DPO: 28/9

Timing: Good

Testing Plans: Waiting out AF. Should be here one of these next few days.

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: I don't feel that crampy feeling that usually comes before AF, but with the slightest of temp drops, and just feeling out, I'm waiting for her to show to start again.

GTKY: Where did you go to college? SVSU. university in MI.

lest12 · September 2013

@jcrewgirl85 - good luck!

Cycle / Month: 13

CD/DPO: 27/11

Timing: good

Testing Plans: oh, I tested again this morning. Even though I was out of tests. I made DH stop on his way home last night and buy more. He also came in with ovulation tests (I haven't used those yet). He thought they would help 'just in case' we went to next month. He's cute.

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: Please. I'm nauseous, wicked bloated and my boobs are killing me. This means nothing, though, this is the same as last month. It's all been a mindfck since my CP. Also, I had a dream last night that I was KU and went into very early labor in a bathroom with my mom there. I think I shouldn't bump before bed anymore!

GTKY: Where did you go to college? Boston College for UG, Suffolk University for grad school

SmurfyLite · September 2013

Cycle / Month: .5(start mid cycle)/1

CD/DPO: Somewhere around 7-10. I didn't chart, and we started Sept. 1st which was mid cycle

Timing: Non existent. Pretty sure we missed the mark entirely

Testing Plans: None. I guess I'm really in a 2ww for AF, not for a bfp

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: I feel like I'm going to be sick today, but I think that was the buffolo chicken casserole that I stuffed myself with two helpings of at about 11 last night:S

GTKY: Where did you go to college? Going now. Community college.

AandJ28 · September 2013

@lest12 - first, hello fellow "Bostonian"

and I tested on Friday at 9DPO and Sunday at 11DPO. Both BFN... but now I'm thinking it was too early. The brownish cm I had again this morning has now disappeared and it's back to creamy cm and the stabbing, pinching, full feeling are still here. I'm now wishing that it was tomorrow morning already so I can test again... edit: to tag @scrappylika (edit again as I obviously can't type today)

also wanted to tell you @lest21 that it's great that you quit smoking! (from yesterdays post) and while I know it can be a struggle with the weight gain, don't give up!

lest12 · September 2013

@AandJ28 - Another Boston Bumper!

Oh, I see! I wasn't sure how you were holding off! 11 DPO can be too early, definitely. When I got a BFP, it wasn't until 15DPO (and I tested on the 11th... and the 12th... and the 13th... lol). I try to remember that myself.

And thank you I'm trying!

amberhoothoot · September 2013

@AandJ28 - Peer pressure! Maybe you should POAS

@jcrewgirl85 - FX!

Cycle / Month: 2/3

CD/DPO: 22/7 (FF moved my crosshairs?)

Timing: O-2, O-1, O+1 (least timing looks better with new CHs)

Testing Plans: well I tested yesterday which might have turned out to be like 5 DPO with new CHs. Guess I'll wait a while now. Although I couldn't turn a digital OPK "peak" this cycle so I doubt the chances are good.

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants:

Chart stalk please! - I don't understand why FF moved my crosshairs so late in the game. 2 of my temps are below the new coverline. Maybe it's because my temps stayed higher these past 3 days?

GTKY: Where did you go to college?

Graduated from the The Ohio State University. Go Bucks!

Kamiegrace1 · September 2013

@jcrewgirl85 - Are you still in GR?

Does tagging work on mobile? I really kind of hate it...

hupp0013 · September 2013

@jcrewgirl85 FX! Good luck!

mbRN83 · September 2013

Cycle / Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 23/9

Timing: okay

Testing Plans: The tests I ordered off of Amazon came in the mail today. So after having a pretty stressful day, I thought -eh? why not? I know it's still pretty early, but I thought in the slim chance I did get a BFP, it would turn my whole crappy day around. Of course I got BFN. I told my DH...who FLIPPED OUT on me for testing without him. I had no idea he would be so upset. I was planning on surprising him if there was good news to be had. Guess I learned my lesson?

So now I'm an emotional basket case.

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: I'm not reading into anything. Way too emotional today.

GTKY: Where did you go to college? For degree #1 - Ithaca College in NY. for degree #2- Bergen Community College in NJ

AandJ28 · September 2013

@amberhoothoot - I am anxiously awaiting my departure from work because I really want to POAS. While I want to wait until tomorrow morning, I know I won't be able to hold out. Also wanted to say GO BUCKS! I didn't go to Ohio State but we lived in Columbus for a while and my dad is a huge Bucks fan - so we've been brainwashed.

When my brother was born and in the nursery, all of the babies had blue or pink teddy bears - nope. My dad put a little stuff Ohio State Football in his nursery crib. lol!

AandJ28 · September 2013

@jcrewgirl85 - FX for you!!!

unclaimedpants · September 2013

drg424 · September 2013

Cycle / Month: 3/3

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: Should have been pretty good, even if my O date was later than I assumed.

Testing Plans: No more for me. I tested BFN this a.m. on 11 dpo and I'm beyond pissed so I'm saving my one lonely $tree test for Saturday if AF doesn't show.

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: See above - that's about it.

GTKY: Where did you go to college? University of Oregon for undergrad - #GoDucks! Went to a small college for my masters: George Fox University. Doesn't really compare to the Ducks though, given our amazing football program! (sorry had to throw that in)

I bet that bear was the envy of all the dads and grandpa's passing by!

People LOVE their bucks around here. Really glad I don't live downtown on game days anymore...lol.

brownmouse · September 2013

Cycle / Month: 2

CD/DPO: CD17, 3 DPO.

Timing: -4,-2, -1, +1

Testing Plans: Testing on the 21st

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: I was totally convinced I was KU this past Sunday even though I knew I O'ed on Saturday. I just felt pregnant and happened to read that a +opk could mean pregnancy. I was wrong....

My sweet daughter came into my bedroom yesterday morning to cuddle and started rubbing my belling talking about how she thought there was a baby in there. She doesn't know we are trying, and we don't plan to tell her once we get a BFP until three to four months in. She was probably just referring to the fact that I'm a bit chubby these days..., Haha!

GTKY: Where did you go to college? Portland State University.

AandJ28 · September 2013

@brownmouse - your daughter is abordable!!
