Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks:
FF just put in my coverline exactly where I thought. That's great because leveling temps were making me nervous.
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP?
It's stunk. I've gone from 4 days per week to 1-2 due to job requirements, and let's be honest, laziness. I usually love the group classes like Zumba and Body Pump, but lately it's been just running the dogs.
disregard this post! I read this wrong and thought I was in Waiting to O Monday! sorry!

CD/DPO: 24/20
Timing: UUUGGGHHHH
Test plans: none
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks:
I'm just ready to get this cycle over so I can get my testing started.
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP?
I try to go to the gym 4-5 days a week if I can. I go every morning after I take my son to school.
CD/DPO: 31/16
Timing: using just temps, pretty not good. -3 and +1 dpo. Even if date is off, was pretty sick this past month, so hubby and I stayed away from each other.
Test plans: I did this morning, but don't want to get too excited cause it a cheap test and afraid it's evap line or something. We are stopping to buy a three pack of tests at CVS on our way home this morning. Will take one tonight, but since it will be after a long and delicious post wedding celebration, thinking wont get a +. Will take a second one tomorrow morning.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: no symptoms, but please chart stalk!!! Not too much data this month- just temps cause I wasn't feeling well.

GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP?
I have been trying to get out of the gym and more active in my day to day life. Changed my work desk to a standing desk. I also found a squat workout I can do at work. Hiking/running/garden work, plus playing with my niece and nephew. I do have a gym membership, and sometimes it's just easier to get on the elliptical, but I'm trying to shake it up!
Cd/dpo: 20/6. First time ever Oing on cd14. Makes me excited for some reason... Especially after a few wonky cycles.
Timing: ff says good. -3,-1,+1
Test plans: I'll try to wait until af is due on 14 dpo. I usually give in around 12 dpo though...
Symptoms: cramping and lower back pain but nothing much different.
Gtky: I lift about 4x a week. Sometimes we do a more crossfit type workout. I walk at my lunch break each day.
CD/DPO: 25/5
Timing: 0-3, 0-2, 0-1, 0
Test plans: maybe 10 dpo if temp is still up. I hate my short LP.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: some odd pain in my pelvic floor. Don't know what that's about.
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? Just trying to move as much as I can. Mostly walking.
CD/DPO: 39 / ? maybe 10 based on CM
Timing: questionable (I will start temping next cycle)
Test plans: Tested yesterday, BFN.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: I've got a whopper of a cold, so that's really all I can focus on right now. Over the weekend I had lots of PG symptoms that I had with my son, thus the testing yesterday. I am just super annoyed with my long, unpredictable cycles.
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? I go to the gym 2-3 times a week then either run on my treadmill or do a video another 2 days a week (ideally anyway) I try to work out as much as possible while TTC, it helps take my mind off things and I think of it as "better lose this weight before I get knocked up!"
Mom of Boys!!
Baby #1 - 3 years old
Baby #2 - Born 10/1/14
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: blah!
Test plans: None until I'm late.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: nope
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? Besides running back and forth for 8-10 hours a day at work? I take the dogs for a 30 minute walk daily, and, on my days off, I do an hour of yoga or Just Dance 3 per day. 30 minutes in the morning by myself, then 30 minutes in the evening with the kids.
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Test plans: Will test after 2 weeks maybe CD29
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: My temp is high and boobs are soar but that has been the case in last cycles as well.
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? I don't really have a fixed workout routine. But i do Yoga and running at times.
CD/DPO: 25/5
Timing: 0-5, 0-4, 0-3, 0-2, 0-1, 0, 0+1
Test plans: If willpower sticks, Saturday at 10DPO.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: None. Just sad that DS is sick.

Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: Hating my timing
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? Walking to the fridge. And the running around I do as a nurse.
@kittenslove - def test again soon and GL!
DS born 8.11.14
BFP #2: 9.14.16, EDD: 5.24.17
CD/DPO - 27/12
Timing - I thought pretty good but now I'm thinking too early. Oh well.
Test Plans - I tested w a FRER on Saturday bc friends were in town and we were doing some heavy drinking. I didn't expect anything besides negative but just wanted to confirm (and the drinking gave me an excuse to use a $10 test). Now I'm just wait until for AF later this week. Boo.
Symptoms /rants - none. I just started charting and I like it. I also forked over some cash and bought a fertility monitor from eBay. Looking forward to using that next month bc I suck at the opks.
Exercise - yoga and walking/jogging and general gym stuff (elliptical and weights). I want to lose about five pounds over the next few months.
CD/DPO: 27/10
Timing: O-3, O, O+1
Test plans: Holding out until saturday. I will be 15DPO then. I am not even going to buy the test until Friday.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: Nothing, I was gassy last night... but I had pizza hut... so yah, that was why.
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? I hike on the weekends. And I walk for like 20 min at lunch with coworkers. I need to start lifting free weights. My arms are looking weak.
Sorry about your BFN
Cycle/month: 11/11 (4AL)
CD/DPO: 31/12 (approx., using CBE Advanced)
Timing: Good
Test plans: I'd like to hold our until Weds., but at least until tomorrow
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: Argh argh argh. These are my least favorite days. Around CD 12 until the end of my cycle is when I start analyzing every single twinge. Is that gas or cramps? Emotional because pregnancy or emotional because period? Also when I start looking at every piece of toilet paper to see if I've started spotting. I hate it. And H is off today, which would be great except it's raining so we can't really do anything and he's bored, which means whenever I start typing or reading he's coming in here looking over my shoulder. Makes me nuts.
GTKY: I take the dogs for a walk around our circle every evening, that's around 2 miles but it's a bit slow with them. I walk over to the gym at least 4 days a week and try to get in some time with the elliptical and the weight machines. I kind of want to do a couch to 5k, but my knees have been acting up lately.

Sorry about your BFN
Yup that's what I bought - the clear blue easy monitor. Glad to hear you liked it. I'm impatient and figure I would try to optimize my chances by charting, opks, and the monitor. Just started temping so next month will be my first full month of temping. I really wish I had started temping earlier, like a few months before TTC. Oh well. That's the one piece of advice I'm giving my girls who are getting ready to TTC - - start charting now!!!
CD/DPO: CD 23, 2 DPO
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, O, +1 and planning on +2 tonight. We've been doing the horizontal tango a LOT.
Test plans: Going to try my hardest to wait until 14 DPO. Though having a pack of 25 cheapie Wondfo's in my bathroom makes it really hard to wait that long.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: None really. Though I am beginning to hate OPKs.. Ended up peeing on at least 25 of them this cycle trying to pinpoint my surge and never got a positive. We started doing the BD on cycle day 10 thinking O would come within the week, and ended up have WAY too much sex. I'm tired! b-( Though based on the second day of high temps, I'm 99% sure I ovulated, so after tonight we're taking a week or so off. Fingers crossed that this is our cycle.
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? I try to take my dog and DD for long walks, though now it's getting colder and I havn't been able to find DD a coat for the winter yet, so until I do, were limited to the warm days for walking. I have a treadmill and should be using it, but I totally don't as much as I should.

CD/DPO: 22/3
Timing: O-3, O-1, O
Test plans: I'm hoping to wait it out until AF (12 DPO)
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: Nada.
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? Weight lifting 3 days a week (MWF) Cardio all other days.
CD/DPO: 25/8
Timing: O-5 to O+1
Test plans: 10 DPO
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: Not really. My temps seem to be falling a little but mine never really stay in a very consistent pattern. Like last month stayed above cover line until CD 4 of next cycle. I did have weird ass dreams list night. Breasts are also a little sore but that is usual for my cycle.
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? Damn this question makes me feel guilty about my lack of exercise and that expensive gym membership going to waste. I guess everyday sex and the occasional Zumba class. I gotta get my ass back on track!
Cycle/month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 20/2
Timing: If I O'd when I think I did, then our timing is -1, -2, -4. We were just too tired for O. Blah
Test plans: Next Tuesday (CD 28) if AF doesn't show
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: I have the ugliest chart this cycle. I'm just happy to start seeing some temp rises so we can stop having sex!
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? I haven't changed much. I've slowed down a little, but that is only because I have been busy with the start of school and just being exhausted. I run, do the elliptical, mostly cardio.
BFP #2 1/22/2014 EDD 10/7/2014
Timing: O-4, O+3 (pretty much sucky)
Test plans: Holding off until missed period.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: Nothing really. I didn't take any OPK's this month which is throwing me for a loop as to when I ovulated, though I did have a good temp drop on day 15 and spike right after.
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? Running after two toddlers is about the extent of my workout.
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: good (O-1, O, O+1)
Test plans: still trying to be strong and hold until I get back home from my business trip on Friday (which will be 13DPO and AF is due Sat anyways)
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: absolutely no symptoms and no rants (I did start crying reading some of the posts today about unexpected BFP and a loss, but I think those stories would bring tears to my eyes regardless of what point I am in my cycle)
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? I have really tried to get back into exercising since TTC. Since getting off BCP I have put on some weight and it has made feel unhealthy. Yoga once a week, elliptical 2 times week, and I've started running every week during SD's soccer practice. The first month TTC I used the excuse that if I got pregnant I was going to gain weight anyways, but once reality hit me about how long this could take, I decided to get my @ss in gear!

Timing: According to FF's predicted O dates, we did well, but I haven't temped/charted this month so I have no idea.
Test plans: I tested Saturday morning and got a BFN, but I'm still holding on! This is the longest cycle I've had in years, so not sure what to think yet. If AF isn't here by Friday, I'll test again.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: Just lower back pain, which is normal for PMS. No boob pain, headaches, cramping, etc. though.
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? I… don't workout. Haha! I'm terrible. I like to ride bikes with the kids and take walks. Does that count? (NO. NO IT DOESN'T AND I KNOW THIS, MAAAAAAN.)

Afternoon all!
Cycle/month: 1/1 (or too many to count, depending upon when you ask me!)
CD/DPO: 16/3
Timing: O-3, O, O+2
Test plans: DH is already asking me to POAS (lol he's a little anxious). I have a million wondfos but I'm going to try and hold out until when AF is supposed to show
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: heartburn for 3 days, back pain and some upset stomach.. .but I'm sure my eating habits this weekend didn't help any of that!
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? Light walking twice a day with DH
CD/DPO: CD16/ DPO unknown. Never could pinpoint it, thinking I didn't O at all this cycle
Timing: Every other day since CD10
Test plans: None, unless I miss my period, then I will probably wait a couple of days then test.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: None except peeing a lot. But that can also be the beginning of PMS. Pretty bummed that my chances are next to zip this cycle because of the O issue. Better luck next time though right?
GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP? Shamefully enough I have no workout routine whatsoever :O However, after my next period I will be claiming a free month of membership at a gym across the street from my house! I plan to get on a regular 3 day a week workout plan and work towards 'hot wife' status and be more prepared for 'hot mom' status whenever I finally get a BFP!

GTKY: What's your workout routine while TTGP?
My usual running around as a nurse and my elliptical a few times weekly.
I started physical therapy today to try to help me. I have a medical condition that causes my muscles to get stiff and have spacticity. This kind of adds to my problems. The therapist said I should know if it's working with 6 treatments and I'm going twice a week so I should know if it's treatable in 3 weeks lol. So far every treatment the podiatrist has tried hasn't worked. I'm also a little weird because I have it in both feet equally. Even the therapist said today she's never seen that before.
