Testing plans: this morning... BFN on FRER. No more testing this cycle.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Pretty bummed out right now... my poor husband took it even harder. He said that he had a good feeling about this month and thought it would work. I feel bad I'm pretty crampy so between that and the emotions I'm not a real delight today. Now we move forward to scheduling one year testing and getting that all squared away. We will give next month a good shot and then move into testing after that. I really can't believe that we are at this point but feel good about taking action to see what we can do.
GTKY:What's your favorite fast food restaurant and favorite thing to order there? I seriously love Bakers! Give me a Mama #1 (cheeseburger) with a Dr. Pepper any day!
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.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I complained yesterday that I didn't think I had ovulated, and when I entered my temp this morning it gave me CH. I am amazed at how different my O times were during the two months I have been temping. Crazy how the body works.
GTKY:What's your favorite fast food restaurant and favorite thing to order there? I love Tim Hortons and their steeped tea.
Testing plans: Maybe 12? Not sure yet. Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: FF finally gave me CH yesterday, I started my OPKs late... I didn't get a positive, but the one right before O date was the darkest one... So, I have dotted cross hairs. Boo. I'm cramping a little today, but that was normal for me last month. Just waiting... GTKY:What's your favorite fast food restaurant and favorite thing to order there? I was wondering what I am going to have for lunch... and then opened this thread. Lot's of yummy ideas!
I love Chipotle. Steak Bowl, Brown Rice/No Cilantro, Double Pinto Beans, Hot Sauce.. Sour Cream on the side. With Chips! (Use the chips for dipping into your bowl!)
Timing: not good, -3 only. H and I have been a little "off" the past couple days. of course we have.
Testing plans: my period is due on my 30th bday, so ... waiting until then, which would be CD 25 (my cycles are 25-26 days long)
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I dont know .. I'm annoyed at the timing of H and I both being moody since it NEVER happens. I can't remember any other time in our (very short so far) marriage that we haven't HIO in four days unless I'm on my period.
GTKY:What's your favorite fast food restaurant and favorite thing to order there? Chick Fil A ... I lived in Chicago before they had a Chick Fil A and when I visited my parents I'd always make them stop on the way home. usually i'll just get a wrap, but the waffle fries and lemonade are a MUST
BFP #1: 4/7/14, EDD: 12/16/14 -- Missed Miscarriage - D&C on 5/13 at 9 weeks
BFP #2: 10/24/14, EDD: 07/04/15 -- Chemical Pregnancy confirmed 10/27
BFP #3: 11/28/14, EDD: 08/06/15 -- Strong heartbeat at 6 weeks, Missed Miscarriage - D&C on 1/9 at 10 weeks
Testing plans: I feel like we didn't "try" hard enough to warrant testing 'til AF is overdue, but if this month is like last, I'll suddenly decide I HAVE to test a few days before she's due.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: none yet
GTKY:What's your favorite fast food restaurant and favorite thing to order there? For as much rubbish as I eat in a normal day (candy, cookies, nachos, popcorn, etc), I really don't like any fast food. If I'm on a road trip, and desperate, I'll eat fries from any of the chains, but that's it.
Looking forward to meeting our first child in January 2015!
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Nothing - I didn't temp today and won't for the rest of this LP. Feels great not having to worry about what my temp might mean!
GTKY:What's
your favorite fast food restaurant and favorite thing to order there? I don't mind Wendy's, but I have to admit that I love McDs french fries! I craved them during my pregnancy with DD!
Timing: Well according to FF O date, good. But I think I may have O'd 3 days later
Testing plans: 13 DPO, 13 is my favorite number!
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I think FF has my O day wrong. But its ok. I will either test on 10 or 13 DPO.
GTKY:What's your favorite fast food restaurant and favorite thing to order there? I love Friendly's reese's pieces sundaes, does that count? I live in England so the best fast food over here is probably five guys.
Married 2009.
2012-2014 charting and temping...
BFP 3/4/2014 EDD: 11/10/14
Testing plans: None until I'm about 21 DPO. I HATE seeing negative tests.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: None. I am really just hoping to have a normal cycle with no spotting and a normal LP length (around 16 days). This is my first 2WW in over 2 years so I am just excited to have O'd, I don't think this is my month to be pregnant yet.
GTKY:What's your favorite fast food restaurant and favorite thing to order there? Sonic tater tots and a cherry limeade please!
Together since 2/9/2004. Married 11/8/2008. BFP 3/2012. Sofana Klara 11/20/12. TTC #2 3/2014.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: my pre-o temps were all over. I'm hoping my crosshairs don't end up disappearing.
GTKY:What's your favorite fast food restaurant and favorite thing to order there? This question makes me want to throw my healthy diet out the window. My absolute favorite fast food guilty pleasure is Culver's cheesecurds. So so so unhealthy, but amazing.
Testing plans: I *thought* I had a super squinter yesterday, but nothing that I could see today (maybe I had line eyes). Still holding out since I'm only 10DPO.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Just feeling disappointed (maybe a bit prematurely?) I thought my timing was really good! FX.
GTKY:What's your favorite fast food restaurant and favorite thing to order there? Umm not a big fast food girl, I love to cook... But if I had to choose, on a drunken night - mcd's!! Quarter pounder with cheese.

*TEAM PINK* TTC#1 Since November 2013 // BFP March 27, 2014 // EDD December 11, 2014
Testing plans: 11DPO (I have a baby shower to go to on 10DPO, so it's best to wait)
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Implantation dip today??? Feel free to stalk and tell me that I am probably definitely pregnant.
GTKY:What's your favorite fast food restaurant and favorite thing to order there? Don't get me started on fast food restaurants as a vegetarian and animal rights activist, so I will say Subway and leave it at that. (Veggie sub with lots of mustard)
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!!!
What we did: We ended up with timing of -4, -2, -1, +1. I've been taking folic acid for several months. I also tried drinking more water and exercising this time around but it was pretty short lived--basically before O.
Symptoms: I had a huge temp jump on 8dpo which was out of the ordinary and when the temp remained high, I became pretty optimistic. I also had cramps similar to AF cramps from 7-9dpo which hadn't happened in previous cycles which came with backaches. Took the test and in less than one minute two beautiful lines appeared.
How I told DH: I took the test this morning and while I was dying to tell him, I had always dreamed of doing a cute reveal. I got off work at 4, hit the mall and picked up a sweet yellow Gap baby onesie and hat, card and starbucks mug. I put the clothes in the mug with my FRER and set the card next to it in our kitchen cabinet waiting for DH to find it when putting the dishes away. He was taking forever and I couldn't wait any longer so I asked if he would get me a glass of water. He found it, asked if I was serious followed by lots of hugs, kisses and tears. It was perfect!
Mushy Stuff: You all have taught me so much and I've loved reading the boards! Ill continue lurking and hoping you all get your bfps and take home babies soon!
We're welcoming a girlto our family--Audrey Kay!
Married 8.28.10 | Me: 26 DH: 26 | Due with our First | EDD 11.01.14
Testing plans: trying to hold off until 12 dpo (sunday 3/9)
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: temps have been high-low. Had spike up to 98.2 F from 97.8F. No major continual rise in temp: todays temp was 98.1 F., hoping this is enough for O. Likely too early for symptoms but I'm tired, gas and constipation really kicked in today.
CD/DPO: Heck if I know. If going by OPKs I would guess 2DPO, but this is my first month charting and FF hasn't given me crosshairs yet.
Timing: Probably sucky. DH was sick, then I was out of town, then I was sick. O-1 and O-4 if I ovulated when I think I did. When I put in some fake higher temps for the next few days, FF gave me crosshairs at CD 15 or CD18. In that case, O and O-3 or O-4 only. I think I'll just got have a drink. (
Testing plans: March 9th, our first wedding anniversary. My period is due the next day.
Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Feel free to stalk, I'd appreciate it! Here ya go.
GTKY:What's your favorite fast food restaurant and favorite thing to order there? Big Zax Snax with Zax sauce for my fries. Mmmm.
