GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures?

Pintobean39 · March 2014

The suspense is killing me. Did you test?

ETA: I'm including your name @amberhoothoot just in case you didn't know I was talking about you

sthrncharmer · March 2014

Cycle/Month: 3/3

CD/DPO: 25/6

Timing: horrible

Testing Plans: none just waiting for AF

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: o'd late. Timing was horrible. Had a pitty party yesterday and ran to the closest drug store for a cheap bottle of champagne and orange juice so I would at least stay classy while I got drunk. Stupid cycle!

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures?
Both! I wish I was better at taking though. I always get too immersed.

Pintobean39 · March 2014

Cycle/Month: 27

CD/DPO: 21/9

Timing: high

Testing Plans: who am I kidding? Probably when I get home. I will never not test out my trigger again.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: same symptoms. I'm starting to get a better handle that it's really just the progesterone and Hcg trigger fooling me. I'm not hopeful anymore.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? I'm always behind the camera. Before my surgery on my head I use to take pics but I can't anymore because my equilibrium won't settle down.

TravelingCouple · March 2014

Cycle/Month: 4/7AL

CD/DPO: 49/8

Timing: 0-4,0-1

Testing Plans: Still none

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I'm trying to be hopeful but I just keep expecting a temp drop. No symptoms whatsoever right now. I'm not spotting yet so that's always nice. Hoping for a decent LP.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures?
I love both but I like being in pictures bc I remember them better that way

Lynzdice21 · March 2014

@amberhoothoot FX for you!

Cycle/Month: 4/5

CD/DPO: 28/9 (according to ff)

Timing: -5,-3,-1

Testing Plans: None. My spotting has gotten a little heavier, I am sure AF will arrive by tomorrow.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I will have to keep watching my luteal phase because I am only 9DPO today and I had light spotting begin 7DPO which seems really short... my chart

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures?

Both. I take really good pictures so people always want me to take theirs but I feel like I hardly get the same awesome pics in return.

ETA: Spotting is heavy, needed a tampon so I am taking it as AF's arrival. This was a weird cycle, overall very short for me- especially my luteal phase. I guess you are only normal until you're not. Totally bumming now.

icaughtfire · March 2014

Cycle/Month: 2/4 (1st AL)

CD/DPO: 31/8

Timing: good

Testing Plans: Really hoping to hold out until 14DPO but I think I'll cave around 11DPO..I ordered more Wondfos last night and they'll be on my doorstep Saturday.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Woke up this morning feeling crazy nauseous but I think that's just a result of all the wine last night.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures?
Take pictures, I hate the way I look in pictures.

Edited: hit post too soon. Also, @amberhoothoot..did you test again??

amberhoothoot · March 2014

Cycle/Month: 8/9 (6 cycles AL)

CD/DPO: 29/10

Timing: -4, -2, -1, O

Testing Plans: My little pink line is still there

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Welp, I posted in the evening yesterday saying I got a squinter after work but my cell wasn't charged for pics. When I saw the little line I knew it was more than my normal shadow lines. But only my mom was there (she watches DS). She is fascinated by pee sticks because they didn't have them in 1980 when she got pregnant. So she's been snooping and looking them over while I was at work the last couple cycles, just to tell me she didn't see a second line. Thanks Mom. Anyhoo last night I went out to ask her if she saw a line and she was like "yeah, right there. But it's not as dark as the other line" Ugh. But I was so excited she saw it. I mean, she has coke bottle thick glasses.

So DH came home, immediately saw the line and was like "yeah thats something alright". I told him that it had faded since I took it, so it will hopefully be brighter next time I pee on one. And he was like "ok, go pee on one now!" all giddy. But I told him I had to hold my pee and he insisted on an 11pm pee stick which I posted yesterday on the 2WW.

I was soooo thirsty that after that I had to drink 2 bottles of water. Woke up to pee once around 1am too. So this morning's test isn't spectacular, but my little pink line is still there! And got one on a wondfo too. We are still keeping our hopes in check after September. Will wait on a digital and hang out here if you guys are ok with that. Just not comfortable calling it with such a light line.

TL;DR - I got a faint line that even cynical blind moms can see, woop. Gonna wait here till it's darker.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures?

I love taking pictures of others. Truthfully, because I have really bad body image I know how to only take pictures of people at good angles. And I love editing pictures, even ones I didn't take. I know my one friend hates her arm flab so i know how to cut it out. And my other friend hates her hips so I know where to crop. Makes me happy to post a pic of a friend on facebook that they later tell me made them feel really good about themselves.

Pee sticks:

EDIT: Also temp went back up

MrsG713 · March 2014

Cycle/Month: 6/6

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, +1

Testing Plans: I didn't test today either, definitely trying to hold strong for Saturday. I just feel like a wondfo hpt wouldn't tell me anything yet anyway.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Cue the weird "normal"/phantom symptoms... Sharp boob pains and mild cramping yesterday afternoon. Also I have been very thirsty. When we were in church last night, I started to get lower back pains. I know better, but my hopes are starting to rise for this cycle day by day. This ones gonna hit me hard I know it.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? Hmm. I like having pictures so I'll say I'd rather be in them.

ETA: @amberhoothoot I couldn't wait to see you post this morning! Keeping my FX for you!

Pintobean39 · March 2014

@amberhoothoot It's about time you posted. I have to get on the road and I was waiting for your update. FX the line gets darker.

nannabee21 · March 2014

Cycle/Month: 2/ 1 AL

CD/DPO: 38/11?

Timing: TTA until next cycle due to mc, but had one oopsie on O-3. I had no idea I was ovulating since i had the miscarriage and it messed me up with charting. We should have been more careful.

Testing Plans: I've been having menstrual cramps but haven't started yet. I fully expect to start by this weekend due to my zittilicious face. I tested yesterday out of curiosity and was negative, and am ready to start my period so we can get back to TTC.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I randomly caught a +opk and temped a few times afterwards so I think I may have caught ovulation but I have no idea. I may not have even ovulated because I didn't continue my temping.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? I'm not happy with my weight at the moment, so currently trying to avoid pics at all cost.

Edited: wording

icaughtfire · March 2014

@amberhoothoot, I think I see it on the FRER..good luck!!

letsgox · March 2014

Haven't read anything else in this thread because I had to scour for my @amberhoothoot update! Yay for two pink lines! FX they're darkening

amberhoothoot · March 2014

Ally1986 said:

I think I can see it, @amberhoothoot, but your pictures are so dark! Can't wait to see a digital

You're right. Tried to take another under my vanity light. Oh well. Guess I'll just have to POAS tomorrow and hope for one thats easy to see in photos.

carabassa27 · March 2014

Cycle/Month: -2

CD/DPO: 32/16

Timing: O-4 and pulled out (TTA)

Testing Plans: BFN yesterday

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Why yes, I do have a rant.

I'm 16dpo. ZERO signs of AF coming. Temps are still up. No spotting. No cramping. High temps. and 16dpo. My luteal phase is 14 days (been temping for over 2 years).

I understand bodies are not machines, and a longer luteal phase is possible from time to time. But this is really messing with my head. I don't like this limbo. I just want AF to show up already. WHY BODY, WHY!?

GTKYLynzdice21 I think I take good pictures of people, but then selfishly get annoyed when no one takes good pictures of me in return.

TravelingCouple · March 2014

Fx @amberhoothoot!!!!

Josie400 · March 2014

@FX for darker lines soon! @amberhoothoot!

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/DPO: 30/12

Timing: O

Testing Plans: BFN at 10dpo. Waiting out my period at this point.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I continue to feel like my period is just around the corner. I do get excited each cycle my LP goes past 10 days. I think the 2 cycles I had short/no LPs was just because of coming off BC but I still get nervous that it will happen again. My last 2 cycles had 13 day LPs so I'm not going to even bother with testing unless I go into the weekend without AF (especially with such low timing).

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? I feel like I don't do much of either anymore. In college everyone was always taking pictures. Now it's hard to find recent pics. I'm going to make it a goal to take more pictures this year.

mander82 · March 2014

Cycle/Month: 4 / 6

CD/DPO: 25 / 10

Timing: -1

Testing Plans: Every day til something happens. 3 BFN's already....don't expect to see anything different in the days to come.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: According to my last cycles (which means nothing really) I should only have 1 more day of high temps before the dreaded plummet. That makes me sad

I was so freaking happy to have a normal cycle length this time, but I don't think this normal cycle is going to end how I wish it would. Next month will give me a December baby. My family already has 6 December birthdays, so between that and Christmas, everyone has to get loans....lol. We don't really need another December birthday, but you can bet your britches I will try just as hard!!

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? I would rather be in them, but I am usually the one taking them. I

photos !!!

mander82 · March 2014

@amberhoothoot FX for a nice dark line tomorrow, or a positive digital !

joshua+rebecca11 · March 2014

Yay @ amberhoothoot! Good luck!

@ humblebee - I didn't see anything, but I'm mobile. Keep testing! Fx

Cycle/month: 5/5

CD/DPO: 31/11

Timing: good

Test plans: BFN yesterday. I wil test every other day until temp drop, AF or positive.

Phantom symptoms/chart stalks/rants: ok, the crazy train has delivered me to the craziest crazy town and the only way out is that annoying relative AF. This cycle has been pretty weird, I normally feel AF coming 4-5 days in advance...this time there is nothing. I've felt off in the evenings, kind of nauseous and just weird feeling. Today I feel a little like AF is coming, but not at all like I normally feel at 11 DPO...my LP is 11 days. And te nauseous ness could have a lot to do with the lack if sleep I've had in the last two days. I'm hoping really hard that this is my cycle.

GTKY: Mmmmmm, I'm kinda on the fence on that one. I love to take pictures, but I also like to be in them with friends.

hullabalou · March 2014

Cycle/month: 6/7

CD/DPO: 23/3

Timing: -3, -2, O, +1

Rants: I think my O date could be off by a day because I fudged a couple of temps. It doesn't really matter, pretty good timing either way.

GTKY: I am kind of a picture whore, so I love being in them and taking them. I just love having pictures on the walls and counters.

joshua+rebecca11 · March 2014

@Brewgirl1980 - I'm sorry

amberhoothoot · March 2014

Page 1 ladies

I love when work finally slows down and I can write to everyone.

@sthrncharmer - Any fruit juice mixed with champagne is my weeknight go to. I don't feel a bad drinking on the weekdays if it's a classy drink

@pintobean39 - Yeah a lot of symptoms come from meds, but I'm still excited for your test. You had good timing. Hope you don't feel down today.

@travelingcouple - keep forgetting to tell you how much I love your siggy picture. I watch it a couple times in a row and SALTS.

@thelostiowan - I stalked and that is an odd chart. Maybe you geared up the first time. No advice on that one. Hopefully you were able to HIO a just in case.

@lynzdice21 - Looked like FF gave you a new cycle today making yours an 8 day LP. Was this your first cycle charting? I wouldn't worry about it until you see a pattern of LPs less than 10. Plus the first chart for most people can be wacky when getting used to it.

@carabassa - weird stuff can happen. One of my fav ladies here (Bazingabee) had temped for a year and had like perfect 14 day LPs almost the whole time i thought. Then one cycle... 18 day LP. So weird.

@humblebee2 - I think i see something. FX it gets darker!

@mander82 - For LP as long as it's 10 or above, it's good. There were times my shortish LP would worry me, but at the same time, I got to start my next cycle faster than most, so that was nice too. Hope you get a longer LP if you're wanting one though

kath16 · March 2014

Cycle/Month: 3/3

CD/DPO: 24/10

Timing: Low - H and I have been a little off this month

Testing Plans: Sunday is my bday but I'm going to dinner on Saturday night to celebrate so probably Saturday morning

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: OK I don't post every day but despite our low timing, I'm on the crazy train this week and typing this out makes me feel better. We only hit O-3 and O+2 but this week has been a roller coaster. Random back pain, some nausea ... last night I had weird cramping, very localized, that I don't remember having before. I really don't think our chances are high this month but STOP IT BODY.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? It depends on how good I look on any given day.

Krisx2 · March 2014

Timing: horrible Testing Plans: none just waiting for AF Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: o'd late. Timing was horrible. Had a pitty party yesterday and ran to the closest drug store for a cheap bottle of champagne and orange juice so I would at least stay classy while I got drunk. Stupid cycle!

Don't be to hard on yourself about timing, you never know! *insert anecdotal story about someone getting pregnant with horrible timing here*

BabyCowbell · March 2014

FX @amberhoothoot -how exciting.

Sorry @brewgirl1980 -that really sucks

Cycle/Month: 9 (3rd temping)

CD/DPO: 22/4

Timing: Epic

Testing Plans: 16DPO

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: A whole lot of nothing, but if I did feel any "symptoms" it would be too early anyway and would probably just be normal life symptoms.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? Neither, I want lots of pictures but I don't want to take them or be in them generally, unless I feel extra cute that day, then it should be documented.

LG2793 · March 2014

Cycle/Month: 5/10

CD/DPO: 31/3

Timing: O

Testing Plans: ovulating is a new thing for me, so maybe in 10 days or so?

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I got my first crosshairs ever today! Yippee!! Sore nips for like 3 days... Haven't felt that in a while!

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? Be in them, but only on my good side

Krisx2 · March 2014

Cycle/Month: 12

CD/DPO: 17/2

Timing: -3, -2, O

Testing Plans: Not testing till AF is due

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Another friend announced her BFP to me last night. I did have a self pity cry in the shower moment. But I think this one was a little easier to stomach because she has been trying for 2+ years and is nervous because of her MC last fall so T&P that this is her take home baby. As for me, nada. 2 DPO is really boring.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? I love to take pictures and DH has to encourage me to get in front of the lens instead of taking 1k pictures of him and the kids.

Edit: added cycle/month

Krisx2 · March 2014

@amberhoothoot I see the line!! FX for you!

@humblebee2 I can't see it, but FX that line gets darker!!

@brewgirl1980 sorry for CD1&2.

frenchy816 · March 2014

Cycle/Month: 13/13

CD/DPO: 22/8

Timing: -1,O+1

Testing Plans: Trying to hold out, but will probably break this weekend. I have a lot of cheapies around.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I have had weird twinges in my lower stomach region, but probably nothing. However, I have 2 huge temp spikes yesterday and today. Just waiting, I have my beta next Friday is AF doesn't show.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? definitely take the pics.

pringles246 · March 2014

Alright I'm calling it, I got my BFP on Tuesday

I go in for my beta at 11 but I feel safe to call it. I post more on 3t so I didn't want to do a separate post

This was our third cycle on fremera, we were planing to do iui #2 but when I went in for my monitoring it showed I was already ovulating so we downgraded to TI.

Cycle/month: 19/ 14 ish
Cd/dpo: 31/18
Timing: all but 0-1
I have light cramps and a little tenderness in the boobs but that's it right now. I wish I told DH in some cute was but after trying for so long I was just too excited, I expected the test to be a BFN but when I looked at it I saw a great second line and ran downstairs and gave it to him and then we hugged like crazy.
EDD nov 9, 2014

shlittertoots · March 2014

@amberhoothoot and @humblebee2 FX for darker lines!

@brewgirl1980 I'm so sorry

Cycle/Month: 4/5 2AL

CD/DPO: 33/12

Timing: not good enough, even though we had the more sex this cycle than we had in the same amount of time before we were married.

Testing Plans: all BFNs. AF will be here Friday or Saturday.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Just frustrated that I'm not KU, but aren't we all?

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? If I look good, I like to be in the pictures. But lately I look like butt so I'd rather there not be physical evidence.

mockingjay1 · March 2014

@amberhoothoot FX your line gets darker!

@humblebee2 I don't see anything, but FX!

@brewgirl1980 I'm sorry

@pringles246 Congratulations!

Cycle/Month: 2/5

CD/DPO: 35/8

Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, O, +1

Testing Plans: Hmm we'll see. I had a temp drop yesterday below coverline, but it went back up today. If my temp rises more tomorrow maybe I'll test tomorrow or Sat.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: Slight cramping, sore boobs. I have to say I was slightly annoyed with one of my coworkers at lunch yesterday. She was talking about how they probably wanted a third but weren't really even trying. She said they only had sex on CD 6 of her cycle and got pregnant so easily.... Maybe I'm a little sensitive since I've been trying on and off for over a year and have a lot of friends dealing with infertility... Annoying, but I am happy for her.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? Take the pictures for sure!

Lynzdice21 · March 2014

@amberhoothoot

Thank you for checking it out! This was my first month and I just upgraded to VIP so I hope this will help me learn and look for trends. I was sick with the flu when I ovulated so that may have messed with the chart too but I will keep at it!

amberhoothoot · March 2014

Page 2 ladies...

YAYAY @Pringles246! - Those are great lines.

@crazycornball - I agree. I wish there were more pics of DS and me together. I am always taking shots of him with other people. Recording his life for to look at later. And I am in like 1 in 100 becuase no one else thinks to take them of us. I actually have cried several times over the years asking DH to be more mindful and occasionally take one. He tries but his brain doesn't work that way.

@brewgirl1980 - I am so sorry to hear that. My LP after my chemical was short too. I think it's normal for that first month after to be a little weird. ((hugs)) to you.

@kath16 - weirder things have happened than a O-3 positive. But the crazy train gets EVERYONE at some point or another. This is where to let your freak flag fly if you need to

@lg2793 - Yay for crosshairs!!!

@krisx2 - If it weren't for this board I would feel so guilty for the "happy for her, but sad for myself" thing. It's such a normal reaction and one doesn't negate the other. ((hugs)).

Goldie000 · March 2014

@amberhoothoot, congrats! Can't wait to see another update with hopefully darker lines! I do have to say that I love Owls too. My kitchen has a white owl cookie jar and cute owl measuring cups!

@pringles246, congrats on those nice dark lines!

@humblebee2, if I zoom in, I think I may see the faintest of lines. FX for you!

kef21287 · March 2014

@amberhoothoot -FX your line gets darker and you turn a digital!

@humblebee2 -I don't see anything, but I am bad at reading wondfos. Fx for a darker line tomorrow.

@pringles246 -Congrats!

Cycle/Month: 6

CD/DPO: 24/7

Timing: everyday from O-3 to O

Testing Plans: waiting until Tuesday or Wednesday next week if no AF by then

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks: I was nauseous and threw up this morning and felt sweaty and like I was going to pass out. But that was because I am a huge klutz and fell down the stairs this morning, landing hard on my butt, and it hurt pretty bad.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? I am bad at remembering to take pictures, so I usually leave it up to DH to take pictures if it's just us on vacation or if we are with family his brother or my parents will take pictures.

amylee545 · March 2014

Congrat @pringles246!!!!

So sorry @brewgirl1980... That really sucks. What a mind fuck.

@amberhoothoot CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I really hope this is your take home baby!!! Fx for better/darker results tomorrow so you can officially call it!!

@humblebee2 I'm having a hard time seeing it... I THINK I see it, but then I think I don't... but I'm on mobile. Fx for better lines tomorrow!!

Cycle/Month: 7

CD/DPO: 32/10

Timing: -5,-2,-1

Testing Plans: absolutely no testing till AF is due... As much as I wanna pee on some sticks now, I can't handle the BFNs.

Rants/Phantom Symptoms/Chart stalks: On 7DPO I had some noticeable spotting. Then a little last night. Then a smidgums today. And I am not a spotter EVER. I know, "you're normal until you're not". Doesn't help me from over analyzing though. And I've also been feeling these sharp stabbing/throbbing cramps/pains (not really a pain, but not really sure what to call it) in my ovary/pelvic region. I've never felt that before ever. It's VERY different than my usual cramping. And my temps are still up! Which means nothing.

GTKY: Would you rather take the pictures, or be in the pictures? Both! Depending on how I look that day.

TravelingCouple · March 2014

I'm sorry @brewgirl1980

Yes I love New Girl @amberhoothoot! Hilarious.

Congrats @pringles246!!

kath16 · March 2014

amylee545 your weird pelvic ... pains but not really pains sound very much like what I have going on! WTF!

@amberhoothoot -- thanks for letting me board the crazy train! FX for you!!!

wishiwaspreggo · March 2014
