Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.
Re: ♥ 2WW - Thursday ♥
Cycle Day/DPO: 32/9
Timing: Not very good.
Testing Plans: None.
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I really don't feel like getting off the couch and getting ready for work.
GTKY: Are you crafty? I'm trying to be more crafty. I made some crafts for Christmas gifts this year and I think they turned out pretty well. I just have to be more patient. I don't like when things take a long time, and I hate waiting for things to dry.
BFP: 6/4/14 EDD: 2/11/15
Cycle Day/DPO: 14/1
Timing: O-2 and that is it.
Testing Plans: I tested to see if my trigger "worked" the day after my trigger shot and again yesterday. Yesterday's line was much darker than the day before. I'm going to hold off on testing it out for another couple of days and test until it fades. After that, I will try to hold off until 12 dpo.
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: My IUI was cancelled yesterday due to a random bad sample from my husband. We're both OK with it, but I really didn't feel like having sex last night. Today, I'm kicking myself for turning him down. I think I totally ruined any chances we had...however, FF still says our timing was good with only O-2. We'll see...BTW, have I told you that IF sucks!
GTKY: Are you crafty? I have really good ideas, but I don't have the talent or patience to see those ideas into fruition. I wish I were more crafty. My house would be so much cooler, and I'd give way better gifts if I were.

Cycle Day/DPO: 29/10
Timing: -4, -2, O
Testing Plans: Monday if AF doesn't arrive today or tomorrow
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: my temp dropped today and it feels like AF is coming.
GTKY: Are you crafty?
I am if it's a project I'm really excited about.
Cycle Day/DPO: 29/ I think 11
Timing: O-3, O-2, O-1
Testing Plans: I only have one FRER in the house. FF is telling me to test again tomorrow, so I'll use it then unless my temp drops.
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I still don't get why I wouldn't have entered CD17's positive OPK yet I put it in the notes. I really don't trust my CH this month thanks to my fever on CD20.
GTKY: Are you crafty? Nope. I do steal ideas off pinterest once in a while though.
Cycle Day/DPO: 19/7
Timing: -1, 0, +3
Testing Plans: Not sure yet, maybe 11dpo if temps look OK. I kinda judge it day by day.
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I have 4,000 sick symptoms with this head cold I still have.
GTKY: Are you crafty? Yeah, I like to think so! I sew
Cycle Day/DPO: 31/ i think 6
Timing: -4, -2, +1
Testing Plans: 1/27 which I know is very early
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I think I can finally trust FF's CH's, so I can relax a bit!
GTKY: Are you crafty? I'm the polar opposite of crafty. I'm the definition of a Pinterest Fail. Everything I try to make always turns out laughable!
Cycle Day/DPO: 21 / 6 dpo
Timing: O-6, O-4, O-2, O
Testing Plans: None
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Temp went slightly up today, just happy it was up and not down. Other than that, just tired and thirsty (but there could be a million reasons for that)
GTKY: Are you crafty? I don't really have a lot of time to do it for fun, but definitely when there is a need/reason. I did all of our wedding stuff (programs, signs, etc) and help out family/friends with creating programs, posters, etc when they ask.
February Siggy Challenge - Favorite Couple
David & Victoria Beckham
Married & TTC #1 since 02/2012
IF DX 1/8/14: Tubal Issues
Cycle Day/DPO: 47/3
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing Plans: DH and I have a date night planned for next Friday and AF is due the next day. I might test on Thurs, CD10, so I can plan a cute way to tell him or get some date sex out of the way early to avoid spotting cuz nothing is as sexy as a panty liner.
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: At 3dpo, I obviously gave no symptoms. BUT it was like Christmas temping this morning. I never catch my O- and the last time I did, I didn't get to testing because my LP was shorter than I expected. I went to bed early last night so I could hurry and wake to confirm O. Ah, the little joys in life. My RE thinks that I will get KU this cycle because I am stubborn and we just put a plan in place for treatment on CD1.
GTKY: Are you crafty? I can be. My interests bounce around so I would never have an etsy shop, but I like to throw together creative DIY birthday parties, make blankets and curtains, baby headbands, and sometimes clothing.
Cycle Day/DPO: 19/1 I believe
Timing: O-5, O-3, O-2, O
Testing Plans: First weekend in February
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Nada
GTKY: Are you crafty?: I'd say yes, crafty but not artistic.
Cycle/Month: 6/6
Cycle Day/DPO: 17/3 (got my CH today! woohoo!)
Timing: -3, -2, -1 (our best timing yet!!!)
Testing Plans: I only have 1 wondfo HCG and a couple dollar tree tests... i'm going to try to hold out till at least 12DPO. But in all honesty, I'll probably start at 10DPO
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: No phantom symptoms or chart stalks. Just super excited to get my CH... It's exhausting trying to get DH to have sex with me during the week, especially this week since he's having a tough work week. So i'm so happy that the pressure is off and to see that we actually had pretty damn good timing.
GTKY: Are you crafty? Yes, i'd say so. But I'm trying to work on my patience with projects... I get really impatient waiting for things to dry and to complete the projects.
Cycle Day/DPO: CD25
Timing: meh
Testing Plans: tomorrow morning
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: made it through this morning without testing so I'm proud of myself
GTKY: Are you crafty? Absolutely not. I am the least craftiest person in all the land. I can't wrap presents, I can't cut straight, I can't sew sufficiently. The only thing I can do is knit but I haven't done that in a loooong time.
Cycle Day/DPO: 35/14
Timing: good
Testing Plans: ? Now I'm just confused.
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Temps are at a plateau. LP isn't usually this long. Blah. My VIP expired yesterday and I'm being a stubborn ass about renewing it, so I can't do a chart overlay.
GTKY: Are you crafty? Uh huh. I love making things. I made every one of my wedding invitations by hand!
Cycle/Month 1
Cycle Day/DPO: 25/8
Timing:-4, -3, -2, -1
Testing Plans: The pack of wondfos in my bathroom drawer are getting harder to ignore
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I have so many symptoms - all of which can of course be explained by other things. I started getting a sore throat yesterday, which is annoying.My boobs hurt like hell, pretty normal for me ....
GTKY: Are you crafty? I like the idea of being crafty, and enjoy doing crafty things when I get around to it. I recently made us some bedroom wall art. Plus, I've got a whole board of things to try one day on pinterest.
Cycle Day/DPO: 18/3
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing Plans: 10 dpo because of acupuncture appointment. Then not again until 14 dpo.
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: It's really annoying that I missed a temp on cd14. I was hungover, so it would've been inaccurate anyway. And I wasn't not going to drink on my birthday date. If I put FF on Advanced or Research it gives me solid crosshairs at cd13. If I put it on FAM it gives me CH at cd15. If I put it on opk, it gives me CH at cd14. I'm going with cd15. But I might end up going crazy and testing at 6 or 8 dpo or something thinking I could possibly be two days ahead.
GTKY: Are you crafty? Not at all.

Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: my temps have been pretty low across the board this cycle... Hopefully that isn't a bad thing
GTKY: Are you crafty?
Not really... I can re-create something, but not create something original.

Cycle/Month: 1?
Cycle Day/DPO: 31
Timing: who the F knows! We had sex this month
Testing Plans: tomorrow
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: So, I thought I was out, and I was ok with that. This is our first cycle with me off of BCP, and the signs of AF just meant my body was getting back to its own rhythm. I had cramping at the gym and my boobs swelled up, all signs of AF. Saw blood when I checked CM Wed. morning. Popped in my tampon and off I went. Only thing is, when I removed it later, there were only signs of brown spotting. And now to top it off, all signs of bleeding are gone. WTH body? Now I'm thinking what if... and I am back on the crazy train! I have one dollar store test left, so my plan is to wait for FMU tomorrow to test. I'm going to be thinking about this all day now!
GTKY: Are you crafty? Handy, but not crafty. I would rather swing a hammer and paint than craft, though I do knit sometimes.

BFP 2/2014 - DS - 10/2014
Cycle Day/DPO: 25/11
Timing: O
Testing Plans: I decided on Sunday, first day of AF. Although I wonder if I could try a HPT tomorrow?
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: My husband's side of the family has never had trouble conceiving, although if I were pregnant this month it would be on our first attempt. I'm hopeful but not holding my breath. I'm noticing a little more discomfort in my pelvic area (heaviness), and I have no idea if these are real or phantom symptoms. I don't generally get cramps before AF.
GTKY: Are you crafty? When I'm in the mood. I can sew, paint, etc.
**TW Living Child**
BFP 2/2014 - DS - 10/2014
Cycle Day/DPO: 39/9
Timing: -3
Testing Plans: I had planned to wait until Sunday, and then yesterday I decided Saturday, and then I was like, well shit I'm 9dpo... Why not today? Now my mind is playing tricks on me and I think I'm seeing something that is most likely not there. All aboard!
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I've got stabby boobs, minor cramps, and indigestion... Burrrrrp.
GTKY: Are you crafty? More than most, less than some.

Summer Dog/Winter Dog D14 AUG. SIGGY CHALLENGE: TEEN CRUSH- LEO
Cycle Day/DPO: 28/15
Timing: -3,-1,+1
Testing Plans: None, I know as soon as I post this AF will be here. I can just feel it.
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Classic PMS last 2 days, extremely irritable and bloated and I have the period pimple. FF and I say that AF will be here today. No doubt 110% sure.
GTKY: Are you crafty? Only on Wordpress.
@TammyDoubleB your dog is super cute, looks a lot like my rugrat
My Ovulation Chart
Cycle Day/DPO: 20/1 or 2
Timing: -2, -1, or -1, O (not sure exactly which day I O'd) - first cycle TTC & temping
Testing Plans: Wait and see...
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I woke up this morning at 4:30 (an hour before my usual temping time) and forgot to temp, then woke up at 5:30, temped, and it was 0.5C higher than yesterday's. Either I got a really nice shift or I completely screwed things up by not temping the first time I woke up. Ugh...still getting used to temping! We'll see what happens!
GTKY: Are you crafty? Yes and no - have to be in the right mood, or a project I'm really into.
edit: forgot cycle/month
Cycle Day/DPO: 29/9
Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1, O, +1
Testing Plans: Probably tomorrow but I got my positive at 11 DPO last time, so I'll see if I can talk myself out of it tomorrow.
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: My chart looks really good and my boobs have been sore the past couple of days which was my main sign last time I got a positive. I've noticed lots of yellow tinted CM which I only had my BFP cycle also. I'm kind of worried that maybe my pre AF signs have changed with the MC and I'll be really let down...
GTKY: Are you crafty? Not majorly so, but in general I'd say yes. I recently made an awesome framed collage series that I made out of a shower curtain.
My Ovulation Chart Simple Link: My Ovulation Chart
Cycle Day/DPO: CD23/ 3DPO
Timing: good, -3, -1, and O
Testing Plans: Hopefully not until February.
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I'm cranky and have painful gas cramps. Nothing new, unfortunately.
GTKY: Are you crafty? Hells to the no.
Cycle Day/DPO: 24/7
Timing: -1
Testing Plans: none, I don't feel like setting myself up for failure. If I'm more than a day late then I will check, but wonky start dates for CD1's in the past don't give too much hope anymore for a BFP even if I'm "late".
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: I have had major headaches and I have had to take Advil for the last two days and felt very guilty about it! I know that I probably don't have anything to worry about while taking it but after 8 months of forbidding myself of any meds during the 2ww I feel bad
GTKY: Are you crafty? YES! I am a craft addict, lol. I enjoy, scrapbooking, stamping, mixed media projects, art journaling and many other paper crafts. I like sewing but am too antsy and don't like being so precise so my projects usually turn out crooked or funny looking, but I have a good time!
Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013
DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help
Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube
April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if
it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF
June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!
June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue
is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.
Cycle Day/DPO: no idea
Timing: no idea when I O'd but timing probably wasn't great
Testing Plans: Sunday if no af which would be cd28
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: ugh, I'm so frustrated with myself this month. I was having acid reflux issues and super depressed at the begining of the month so I didn't put much effort into ttc and now I'm sad cause I feel like its a wasted month ;/ lesson learned wont do that again! Although this is only my 2nd month TTCAL I am hitting the overall year mark next cycle and its really geting to me.. I need to find my positivity and hope again
GTKY: Are you crafty? Nope, not even a little lol

Timing: -2, -1, O, +1
Testing Plans: None yet.
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: This is probably nothing since I am only 5dpo, but I had a boatload of creamy CM today. Like way more than I can remember having since coming off BC in August.
GTKY: Are you crafty? Not in the LEAST.
Cycle/Month 6/6
Cycle Day/DPO:31/12 (or 10...not 100% sure, FF says 12)
Timing: if 12 DPO: -3, -1, O, O+1 if 10DPO: -1, -2, &-3 so good!
Testing Plans: Saturday Morning!
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: sooo all of them. I can smell like no other, and I've been tired and crampy. Normally, I don't get cramps until day before, or day of, my period. These feel different and have been going on for 5 days. (period is due tomorrow through sunday...again depending on DPO). The craziest symptom is...sore boobs. I have never had sore boobs EVER except for when I have gone running with my not great sports bra. When I do that, sore boobs for one day, then they are better. LAST WEEK my boobs hurt after a run, Ok normal....except they have been getting worse everyday. This is probably because I keep grabbing my chest to see how sore my boobs are. hahaha I was super convinced I was crazy and totally not pregnant the other day b/c of cramping, but it feels different. so, we'll see.!!!!!!!!
(I haven't ever had symptoms, phantom or otherwise, even when I was totally convinced I was pregnant two months ago)
GTKY: Are you crafty? Yup! I have even made clothes, a braided rug for my bedroom, I knit, sew, and....I love glitter. I also did all of our photo albums myself (my MIL didn't believe I did them...they were that good...or...she is kind of critical haha)
Cycle Day/DPO: 30/10
Timing: High
Testing Plans: Saturday
Rants/Phantom symptoms/Chart Stalks: Today was a full gamut of hot ass mess train wreck; woke up a million times throughout the night, so my temp was so high, woke up with a headache, feeling like someone punched me in the stomach and needed to vom at the same time, then I forgot to bring my knife roll to culinary school, was almost crying the whole way there, then after school, we went to visit a property we are interested in buying and got in a fight with H on the way home and ended up in tears. Finishing up with a big glass of wine and a cuddle session with my puppy while he talks business and shoots pool with the guys. Whew.
GTKY: Are you crafty? I can be very crafty. I made wreaths and decorations; or whenever the time comes for gifts for others, I make "meaningful" and "thoughtful" crafty gifts
