Testing Plans: Waiting until 14DOP if AF doesn't show up by then
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: No symptoms at all, my friend is planning to start TTC in a few months and she's been asking me a bunch of questions. Talking about it has increased my baby fever by a thousand times!
GTKY: How many vacations do you take each year? Do you normally travel or have a stay-cation? I haven't been on a vacation since I was 20 (I'm 26 now). My husband and I like to stay home when we're off work. I'm a grad student and he works for the university, so he gets the school breaks off and I get to "work from home"
ETA: Did you not leave & go back to WTO? Am I losing my mind?
I did leave because my CH got taken away. They got put back. Then taken away. Then put back.....I'm a mess, lol!
I feel your pain!!!!

Congrats @Bella2425! Cycle/Month: 17/16 I realized I have been putting two months more than that but forgot we were TTA for two months before I got my surgery. CD/DPO: 19/5 Timing: excellent. O-5 thru O except O-3 Testing Plans: Friday. I will be 9 DPO. Normally I'm a wait for AF kind of girl, but I'm starting IF bloodwork then, and obviously if I get a BFP I will know I don't have to do it. Clearly I am pretty sure I already know the answer, but I really want this to be our month!! I want an October baby so bad! Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: I felt a little quick twinge on my boobs as I was coming down the stairs yesterday that got me thinking. But I haven't felt it again, so........ GTKY: How many vacations do you take each year? Do you normally travel or have a stay-cation? Usually we can't afford it, but I really want to take H somewhere for his 40th birthday in March. Still trying to decide where without giving away to him what I am planning.
*Your friendly resident herbalist. Ask me for facts about herbs--maybe I can help!*
TTC #1 8/2012~Chronic Pelvic Pain Condition began 10/2012~Told I was crazy by many doctors until a good specialist DXed a labral tear and bone impingement in left hip 4/2013~Surgery on left hip: 5/31/13 SUCCESS!!! Pain flares to continue indefinitely (but mostly gone).
Resumed TTC 6/2013~Chronic stomach pain and distension: 8/2013~TTA 1/2014 Until Resolved ~7/2014: Trip to the Mayo Clinic--SUCCESS!! Finally on the road to getting better.
Resumed TTC 7/2014! Third time's the charm....8/2014 Visited the RE~DX: MFI/low morph~Straight to IVF with ICSI! 9/2014~Transferred 1 perfect beautiful 6AA blast with 10 to freeze!!!~10/8/2014: BFP!!!! EDD: 6/17/15 STICK LITTLE BEAN!!! IT'S A BOY!!!!!
CD/DPO: 16 / no clue. I was using OPKs but all have been negative. then I ran out. So either I missed it or I was testing too soon. If I don't get a BFP this cycle my charting will be much better next month.
Timing: N/A unknown
Testing Plans: I will be testing on/around the 26th as that is when AF is due. Well, that's when she'd be visiting if I were on the pill. So I'm not sure when to expect her. However, when I got pregnant with DD I tested 6 days past when AF was due (first cycle off BCP) so maybe this time around ill be somewhat regular...
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: I've been crampy lately. I've had many headaches (could be irrelevant, I get them often).
Ladies I'm going crazy.. Ever since around 10am I've felt so nauseated and dizzy. Of course I'm totes preggly right?!? @-) I'm sure I wouldn't be analyzing this so much had it not been for my slight temp increase this morning.
@catmagick - I hear you. My EDD would be 9/29, which is our anniversary! I want a September baby so bad!!! FX for you
Me too me too me too !! Fx for you!!

Testing Plans: a day or two before AF is due- I am super impatient, lol
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: been super bloated and mildly crampy today. Praying to see an implantation dip/triphasic pattern in the next few days (even though I know it doesn't always happen after implantation).
GTKY: How many vacations do you take each year? Do you normally travel or have a stay-cation?A lot less since DD, lol. We take one weeklong summer vacation and a few road trips for a weekend every few months. Would love to go to the caribbean soon, but I don't think its going to happen this year.
@MauiBlissI think it's a second sustained temp rise, that sometimes can indicate pregnancy. I like to think of it as Another Thing To Obsess Over During My TWW.
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD/DPO: 21/4
Timing: High (-3, -2, -1, O) if crosshairs hold
Testing Plans: 11DPO
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: Could I get a chart stalk ladies? Are low temps like this during the LP normal? FF dots my crosshairs if I add EWCM for yesterday, which I had a bit of. Do you think CD17 was my true O?
GTKY: How many vacations do you take each year? Do you normally travel or have a stay-cation?We travel a ton for work, and even though we'd both like to travel for fun...sometimes, it's just nicer to stay home for us. I wish we took more trips though.

@ADH0906 I think I agree with your CHs so far. Was there something off about that one high temp--taken at a different time, after drinking or something?
@ADH0906 I think I agree with your CHs so far. Was there something off about that one high temp--taken at a different time, after drinking or something?
Nope, not at all. I know symptoms are shit for calculating O, but I had a super clear postivie OPK, then negatives, I had the headache I always get post-O, I have sore boobs now... I keep thinking maybe I geared up but didn't actually O, but then there's the high temp.
ETA: Plus, I got "high" timing. Don't take this from me, FF!!

Timing: FF said low (O-3), but it's better than last month's (visited with relatives during FW last cycle)
Testing Plans: My first 2ww post I said I was trying to wait until 18dpo (per FF). But maybe tomorrow instead?
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: I O'd the same day as last cycle (CD15). And then I thought I was going into a triphasic shift, told myself on the other 2ww that it doesn't mean anything. Got a second temp in a row at that top level, then had a dip on 10dpo. Then this morning it's back up again. My temps
GTKY: how many vacations do you take each year? Do you normally travel or have a stay-cation? We've combined them with an academic conferences that my husband needs to go to, and they move around the country, but that doesn't really count (since he has to be at talks and stuff all day). I guess a few a year, including family visits? The last was a staycation. I had planned to do some major winter cleaning and do some demo-ing in the kitchen, but got the flu instead.

Oh the Crazy train! My plan is to wait until Friday before my OB/GYN appt (I think 13dpo, a guess). I don't really have symptoms, mostly in my head or over analyzing, but it is so tempting to climb right on the crazy train!

All Aboard! I'm on the train too! First month using FF + first month temping + extra long cycle + FF telling me to wait until it thinks I'm 19dpo to test. I'm not only on the crazy train with you all, but I'm confused by all of this right now! I'll stay on the train and wait it out....
Testing Plans: tested at 11dpo negative, just tested now at 3pm (obviously not fmu) and I feel like I am going crazy because I think I can see something in different lighting angles. I must have boarded the crazy train with you all.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: wasn't feeling too much of anything for a whole. Insane cramps for about an hour at 10dpo and had one bout of being extremely nauseous today. AF should have been here. Normal LP is 10-12 days. I attached pee sticks, but now I feel ridiculous. I feel like I'm totally making it up in my head.
GTKY: How many vacations do you take each year? Do you normally travel or have a stay-cation? Usually 1 weeklong vacation in the summer to some beachy destination. This summer we are going to aim to go to vail and do some hiking though, switch it up a bit.
Testing Plans: I have tested more times than I care to admit in this last week since I was expecting my period last Tuesday. Guess I maybe O'd late this month.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: Spotting this morning, which is super rare for me. I thought it was the beginning of AF, but it stopped. So I am still here in the 2WW I guess. Sore boobs and cramps though. I would like to get a BFP or even just get AF so I can stop living in limbo! Yes, it is my fault for not charting... Lesson learned .
GTKY: How many vacations do you take each year? Do you normally travel or have a stay-cation? Seemed like we have to use all our vacation days for visiting family or family events lately. We haven't gone on any vacations just us in a few years. Life has been crazy this past year though with moving and baby and new jobs and everything, so it is understandable. We take trips to our parents houses quite often. At least once a month.
jesswein9 i totally see something in all three. im 13 DPO as well and ur making me want to test again but im sure mine will be a BFN lol.
FX ur line is extra dark tmw!!

Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalk: None. I just have this feeling we won't be seeing a BFP this month.
GTKY: How many vacations do you take each year? Do you normally travel or have a stay-cation?: We normally take 1-3 vacations a year. One of those is an annual trip to Vegas we make every July with 15-25 other people. After that the rest are usually trips to FL or DC to see family.
Definitely joining the crazy train.... I've been cramping most of the day since posting, running to the bathroom every time it got "intense" expecting at least some brown CM or light spotting and still NOTHING. Left breast is again "bothering me" and I'm a little bloated despite having a light breakfast, salad for lunch, lots of water and running 3 miles. Ugh! I may have to cave and test tomorrow... C'mon morning temps!
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: I am super impressed that we were able to have any sex during the fertility window since we were on a ski trip this weekend, sharing a room with another couple and H got the epic man cold on Thursday night. I didn't pressure him to have sex, but he initiated himself despite feeling like death. This is one of the most romantic things he has ever done. Right under secretly finishing off my Smirnoff Ice after I had been "iced" last month (even though he hates them).
GTKY: How many vacations do you take each year? Do you
normally travel or have a stay-cation? Usually one a year. DH doesn't get much time off unfortunately.
Married and started TTC in July 2013 "Diagnosed" with unexplained infertility Oct 2014 IUI #1: 100mg clomid/HCG trigger/2 mature follicles/18mil post wash sperm count: BFP!!!
Cycle/Month: (I assume this is how many cycles you have been trying? if so) 5
CD/DPO: CD27/ DPO 11
Timing: (sorry, don't really know what that means either. Still learning lol)
Testing Plans: I tested this morning it was a BFN but also early. AF is due the 15th. So I will probably test on the 15, then if still negative. probably every other day after that unless AF comes
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: This cycle of trying it does seem a little different. (sorry if TMI) but been constipated, extremely tired and on and off sore boobs. but I am NOT looking into it too hard. This TWW also has seemed the longest TWW since! lol almost there!
GTKY: How many vacations do you take each year? Do you normally travel or have a stay-cation? hahahaha. I wish. I haven't really been on a vacation since 2004. Hoping maybe this year? that would be nice
Testing Plans: 11 DPO (which is also my late grandmother's birthday. There's a reason to go crazy.
Phantom symptoms/rants/chart stalks: I got nothing. Temps look good. Pretty early for a mindfuck.
GTKY: How many vacations do you take each year? Do you normally travel or have a stay-cation? every year we do something different. Last year we took DS to Disneyland.
I tested again tonight with a wondfo and believe it more real now..very faint but defintely there BFP! Going to take a FRER tomorrow morning to confirm. I told DH by giving him a card that said Congrats, you're gonna be a daddy! We hugged and high-fived and he said, now can get a new truck? LOL
