Testing Plans: I tested today and the result was glaringly stark white and negative. Boo. Probably not testing again, I don't feel a lick different.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Above
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Yup, upstate NY. Lots of snow! I work weird hours, as I teach ballet classes to little ones. Most of my students are in school during the day, and my classes are all afternoon/early evening. If there's enough snow to close school, the dance school will cancel classes too.So I'll have a snow afternoon/evening. And I usually chill with hot chocolate and watch the snow from inside.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: FF says I ovulated on CD 18. I think I ovulated on CD 19. Not the end of the world, pretty good timing regardless. I just don't feel like this is our month. It's only my second PP cycle so I'm being pretty realistic.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? We get snow here in SW OH. Typically there are a few "snow storms" that close schools, but since I work in a hospital I don't really get snow days. If it snows on the weekends and closes everything I get pretty annoyed as I do a lot of errands on the weekends.
Timing: I O'd way earlier than I have the previous two months, so timing was not so great.
Testing Plans: Probably Sunday.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Little crampy this morning, but trying not to read into it. I'm trying to be "whatever" this cycle since my timing sucked anyway.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Not usually - I'm in NC. However, when it does snow, it's a massive clusterfuck. (4-8" today, yay.) I like to watch TV, drink tea, cook and bake. I bought stuff to make chili tomorrow, just in case I get a snow day. If not, I will be having chili on Sunday for the Super Bowl.
Testing Plans:Stark white BFN this morning. Gah. Will continue on the crazy train until AF comes because I'm a glutton for punishment
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks:super crampy today, so I feel like AF is on her way
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? We have snow, but we always get snow. I'll usually get 2-3 snow days a year and I'm always thinking I'm going to be super productive around the house. In reality, you can bet your ass I'm curled up on the couch with my dog and bad daytime tv.
Cycle 6 Cd 29/13 Timing -4,-3,-2,-1(x2), O Testing this morning bfn
Yesterday I had some cramping and one incident of light brown spotting after work. This morning I had a decent temp dip (.10 still above cover.....in spite of the couple glasses I had last night with Juan Pablo) an another very subtle brown spotting this morning. I still feel cramps like AF. I looked at my test after 5 min and noticed an evaporation line that gave me slight false hope (I've only seen stark white negatives). It seems like if it were positive I wouldn't have to tilt it, close one eye and stand on my head to see a line. I must have line eye....It's possible I could be DPO 12 instead of 13 but I feel like I'm grasping at straws. I'm really starting to get discouraged
I live in upstate ny so we get a good amount of snow. In the old days I would love to watch the snow with a bottle if wine. Now that I have an 18 month, I enjoy taking him out to play in it
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I had some cramping last night, but then remembered I did 200 some crunches at Yoga so, yeah, that was probably it
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Yes, we tend to get a lot of snow but this winter more so than usual. We're actually having a snow day right now due to wind chills -30 below! To say the least, DD and I will not be leaving the house all day long. Usually I use snow days to relax and spend time with DD, I have also taken up knitting but I'm absolutely awful at it right now.
Testing Plans: Did already and will keep doing it until I find out one way or another.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: So at first I was pretty sure I O'd on CD 15 even though FF was pretty sure about CD 13. Then I decided to go with FF because what do I know. Now I'm leaning back towards CD 15, which would put me at 8 dpo. At least that makes me feel better about the bfn this morning. On a related note, I thought I saw something when I glanced at the IC so I dipped a FRER and it was a total waste.
ETA: I just don't know what to do about the missing temp on CD 14. I tried putting in a fake pre-O temp, because my temp on CD 15 was still low so I'm sure I hadn't ovulated yet. But then I remembered my temp on CD 13 and 15 were exactly the same, and I remember wondering whether I was just looking at the saved temp on CD 15. Also, I had been tossing and turning prior to temping and that seems to drop my temp a little. I know it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but when I'm on the crazy train it makes all the difference.
ETAA: ok, final eta. I put in a peak reading for CD 14 because that's what the test gives you the second day, and it changed my CHs to CD 15. I'm going to stick with that. Again, makes me feel better about a bfn today at 8dpo. (But makes me feel crazy for testing on the weekend at 5 and 6 dpo)
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Snow days, like shut down because of snow? I live in Saskatchewan, we don't get those here.
bfp#4 3/19/2014 edd 12/1/2014 please let this be the one!
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Nothing really, just urinating a lot, but with IC that's not really unusual.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Yes, I live in Michigan. I don't get snow days where I work, but with snow on the ground, I like snowmobiling. Occasionally watching the dogs have fun in it, but its -12 right now, so they cant't be out long enough-so it's a hot cocoa and movies kinda day.
@humblebee2 O_o wow. Facebook is always good for some idiotic remarks.
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 26/9?
Timing/ -4,-2,-1,+1
Testing plans: GAH! I caved this morning. Stark white BFN. Now that I've broken the testing seal I will pee on any type of stick I can get my hands on. Time to order more Wondfos.
Rants/Thoughts: For some reason I thought that I would get pregnant right away because I haven't had hormonal BC in over 4 years. Crazy, I know. I'm two months in and already irritated with TTC.
GTKY: We have snow a couple times a year. I've been here for 6 years and we've only had one crazy snow storm. We just get rain.all.the.time.
Thanks @MmmPopcorn. I've been out of the charting game for a while (just started up again in August).
@humblebee2 I had to deactivate Facebook for a little bit because stupid people make me Stabby. I hope she didn't make her son feel bad when he told her he wished he was a girl.
Testing Plans: H's birthday is 2/4 and even though it would probably be too early to test accurately, I'm a sucker & will test then. Until then I'll be deciding how to tell him for his bday and have it all elaborately planned out. Just me being crazy.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: my chart is the definition of rocky, and due to the events of the weekend and whatnot my temps cannot be highly trusted. I messed around with dummy temps, discarding the one I was up the latest, etc and no matter what, FF gives me CH at CD9. So I'm going to keep what I have now with only 1 discarded temp.
I had some nausea and cramping yesterday (which is why I thought maybe I was O'ing then instead of CD9) but we will see what FF continues to make of my info.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Yes I do! I like to read, relax, drink hot chocolate, paint my nails and sometimes venture to Costco on these days because there isn't a single soul other than H and I there. It's glorious.
@MrsG713 I don't agree with CD 9; 12 looks like a possibility if your temps continue to stay up.
Thanks for your input! I really appreciate you taking a look. I was sort of wondering if that was a possibility too. Guess I will see what the next couple days bring temp-wise.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I almost always start spotting by CD 10 or early morning CD 11. I'm trying not to let myself get too excited, but so far, nada. And my temps look good. Try as I might, I'm getting a little hopeful.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? I live in San Diego, but this week I'm home with my parents in Columbus, Ohio. Growing up, we played games on snow days if my dad stayed home, and we baked and listened to books on tape if my mom did. Today I'm drinking lots of hot chocolate, reading, and watching movies with my dad, whose home from work sick. I'm loving getting a little taste of winter!
Cycle Day/DPO: 22/8 (or or 7 DPO according to FF, but I still disagree... pre-O temps were higher than usual since I was sick, and my O temp spikes are usually very gradual and not very obvious)
Timing: our best yet either way!! -3 -2 -1... or -4, -3, -2
Testing Plans: Going to try to hold out till Sunday, which will be 12/13 DPO. IF i get a BFP, I'd like for it to happen while DH is home so I don't have to go through the agony of waiting all day until he gets home from work. Good rationale to wait, right? It's working for me!
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Suuuuper crampy yesterday (7DPO)... trying to not read too into it. And my boobs have been SO painful for the past 3 days (which is normal for me)
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Yes I live in beautiful New England. Snow days are spent on the couch with movies and coffee during the day, then switch over to movies and wine at night
Me: 26 DH: 26
Together since November 2006 Married September 5, 2011
Testing Plans: I test yesterday and I knew I would keep torturing myself so I gave all my tests to MH to hide from me.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: my boobs are still killing me, I was nauseous most of the day yesterday and I'm beyond grumpy.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? We get a bit of snow but my town shuts down at 1 inch on the ground. We don't do much, just hang out at home.
Testing Plans: Going to buy some FRER's today cause I hate wondfo's (see rant).
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/chart stalks: I peed on a wondfo last night and got a maybe squinter that disappeared after the test dried. I did another this morning and no line, but a pink streak going across the test that is still there. This same batch gave me trouble last month, and I think has had problems with both false positives and false negatives according to google. In terms of symptoms, I had a nice little temp spike this morning and my boobs are pretty sore.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Western NY- tons of snow! I usually like to just relax with some Netflix and stay in my pj's.
Attached: here is the maybepossiblyprobablynot squinter from last night, and the weird streak from this morning.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: there have been a few things like slight nausea, but don't want to get my hopes up so I try to ignore it.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? It's snowy most of the time here in the winter months but the rest of the country must have wanted it all for themselves. We currently have no snow and I'm fine with that. It's been a weird January for sure! I love to read so snow days are great for staying in and reading a good book.
Testing Plans: DPO 9 for guilt free superbowl drinking and then not again until at least dpo12-14
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I am coming down with a cold and it sucks
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Snow days DH and I are extremely lazy and watch movies and pig out on junk food.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Woke up with an insane headache this morning and threw up on my commute this morning. Lovely... Hopefully not getting sick. Chart stalks always welcome: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/4ba474
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? I live in New Hampshire so get get plenty of snow! I prefer to stay in and watch movies on the couch with a blanket. Sledding every once and awhile is fun too!
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: This is the earliest I have ovulated and it caught me off guard, which means our timing was not so hot. Trying to stay positive though and hoping that since I o'd so early I'll have a decent LP.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days?
Canadian here so there is snow. Lots and lots of snow. I prefer to hibernate in the snow and enjoy looking at it from inside! We've been having record low tempuratures as well which does not help. I'm looking forward to this weekend when its supposed to warm up and we can maybe get outside go tobogganing.
@Humblebee2 - Wow...I can't even believe that comment! Hard not to say something.
@Lizbeth2462 - Damn those Wondfos! I don't see anything yet, but 10DPO is still early.
Cycle/Month: 2/2
Cycle Day/DPO: 25/8
Timing: good
Testing Plans: Trying to hold out til Saturday, when AF is due.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Yesterday was the second day with milky white CM. I woke up this morning at 4:30 a.m. with this very mild dull cramping in my lower abdomen. I usually never cramp until a few hours before starting my period, and it's usually in my lower back. And finally, my temp went up today. Crazy train has officially left the station and there's no getting off now.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days?
We usually just get a lot of rain here through the winter, but we did have about 7 inches of snow in December. It was beautiful, but our city does not own a single snow plow, so the streets became packed snow/ice for a week... ridiculous. I was so glad we upgraded to an all-wheel drive vehicle recently. I still had to work, but if I could have stayed home, I would do anything that screams COZY: sip hot chocolate, knit, watch old movies, etc.
Test plans: 13 DPO, next Tuesday. But I'm not feeling real hopeful.
Rants/chart stalks/phantom symptoms: my temp was running low today and yesterday. Not below the coverline, but still low. I'm only 6 DPO so I'm trying not to get discouraged.
GTKY: enjoy sitting in front of the woodstove with my husband and sweet dog, drinking hot apple cider and tea and playing games or watching a movie.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Snow days, like shut down because of snow? I live in Saskatchewan, we don't get those here.
Yes! I was born & raised in Saskatchewan, now in Alberta. What's a snow day?? It's one big snow day from October to April!
Cycle/Month: 1/1
Cycle Day/DPO: 25/7
Timing: -1, O
Testing Plans: I haven't allowed myself to buy tests yet, and probably won't do so until AF is late. It's only our first cycle, not getting my hopes up!
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: My post O temps have been all over, since I've been waking up at random times with DD!
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? See above. We don't get snow days here! Although if it gets cold enough (like -40C or lower) the schools might close. Doesn't affect my job though, we still have to go to work. If I did get a snow day, I'd stay in my pajamas and probably bake, read, or maybe do something crafty.
Testing Plans: Feb. 1st (12 dpo) Saturday can't get here fast enough!
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I got nothing.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Yes, I live in Iowa and this winter has been perpetual snow. It hasn't really gotten warm enough to melt much of it. I like to stay inside and drink warm things. But usually it means I have to commute to work in shitty road conditions, so I hate snow 90% of the time.
Testing Plans: none unless AF doesn't arrive by Friday but I have an inkling she'll be here later today
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I woke up with horrible cramping this morning and though for sure AF had arrived but hadn't. I'm anticipating the arrival any time but since the cramping has gone I am confused now. I just kind of want this cycle to be over so that we can get back into the swing of giving it a good effort. I was so sick during this FW that we are lucky we got one day in but I am not hopeful. We will get it back on track next month
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Haha, I live in Southern California and it has been in the 80's this past week... I wish it would snow of a few days here just so I could see what it was like! If it was a snow day I would stay in sweat pants all day, watch movies and eat yummy, hot foods
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.
@bazingabee "Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: nice little temp dip this morning that I'm reading way too much into since it's -30 here and I'm sure that contributed." -- DITTO.
Cycle/Month: 7/7
Cycle Day/DPO: 21/6
Timing: good
Testing Plans: maybe Friday...maybe Sunday, maybe not at all, who knows.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: temp dip today (see above) but 99.9% positive that means nothing.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days?
Yes. I'm in Chicago and it's currently - 237461642662 degrees out with the windchill. On snow days I like to go to work because we don't get snow days.
Cycle: 7 Cycle day/DPO: 32/9 Timing: not good. Testing plans: tested this morning. BFN. Rants: still no usual breast tenderness. I think it might be because I ran out of my thyroid meds last week. So my hormones may have been out of wack. I feel AF coming, cramps, headache, and I just want to cry over everything! GTKY: do you live in a place with snow? No, we live in England right now. But we're from Maryland and I miss the occasional snow.

2012-2014 charting and temping...
BFP 3/4/2014 EDD: 11/10/14
Testing Plans: I am so weak. I wanted to hold out till the weekend but now I am thinking Thurs or Fri.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: My temp dropped this morning at 7dpo about half a degree. Still above coverline. I will be interested to see what tomorrow's temp is. Yesterday I noticed a couple of tiny spots of light red blood when I wiped. I wouldn't have even noticed if it weren't for the fact that I am a Compulsive-TP-Checker. It happened again about an hour later. Nothing since then. Trying so hard not to read anything into these things. I know they could be completely random and not mean anything at all. But I still bumped up my test date. Because I am crazy.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Yes, we get snow a few times each winter. If it's enough that I can't go to work, DH and SD are usually home too. We will usually go outside with SD so she can play in the snow then come in and have hot cocoa to warm up.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: This cold really sucks. I seriously woke myself up like 5 times last night scared I wasn't able to breath because my nose is completely blocked and my throat is swollen. All the mouth breathing is making my temps look low. Glad I got my spike before the nasal passages closed completely.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Well my work doesn't ever let people stay home, so no real snow days. But on snowy weekend days I mostly like to sit in the window and watch the snow. If it's not too cold we take DS out for a bit to play with the dogs. My dogs LOVE the snow. I can only describe it as frolicking in the snow, flipping it with their noses, and flinging it with their hind legs at each other.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: My period is pretty regular, and I should have gotten it yesterday. I will test again tomorrow if AF doesn't show up, but I'm a bit puzzled. I should have seen spotting Sunday evening, then again, this is my first time tracking so I'm not even sure I'm tracking correctly.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days?
Funny you should ask, my office closed at noon today due to weather. We are expected to get ice/sleet/freezing rain/snow etc. It hasn't "snowed" here in New Orleans in about 6 years. During my "snow day" today I am baking banana bread and visiting with my in-laws.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Does FF know that the pregnancy sign estimator makes people go crazy!?? It just hands out hope.. I can't stop plugging in symptoms.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: My temp dropped this morning at 7dpo about half a degree. Still above coverline. I will be interested to see what tomorrow's temp is. Yesterday I noticed a couple of tiny spots of light red blood when I wiped. I wouldn't have even noticed if it weren't for the fact that I am a Compulsive-TP-Checker. It happened again about an hour later. Nothing since then. Trying so hard not to read anything into these things. I know they could be completely random and not mean anything at all. But I still bumped up my test date. Because I am crazy.
GTKY: Do you live in a place with snow? If so, what do you like to do on snow days? Yes, we get snow a few times each winter. If it's enough that I can't go to work, DH and SD are usually home too. We will usually go outside with SD so she can play in the snow then come in and have hot cocoa to warm up.

Well my work doesn't ever let people stay home, so no real snow days.
But on snowy weekend days I mostly like to sit in the window and watch the snow. If it's not too cold we take DS out for a bit to play with the dogs. My dogs LOVE the snow. I can only describe it as frolicking in the snow, flipping it with their noses, and flinging it with their hind legs at each other.
