Re: •••2 WW SATURDAY•••

  • Cycle/Month: 9
    CD/DPO: 20/8 or 20/7(again)
    Timing: Good

    Testing Plans: 4/1 for fun

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves: welp I planned to temp only til O this cycle and made the cardinal mistake of taking a spontaneous temp this morning which moved my CH uggh! Only by a day but I'm anal like that so its buggin me. New O date gives better timing though -5,-2,O so I'll probably take it. Still having a crampy ute so there's that...

    GTKY: How do you keep your relationship with DH/SO spicy... Besides the obvious ;) we like to get away (whether it's for a walk, bike ride or a local bar) and just talk about anything and everything. Helps us to reconnect from the everyday stuff

  • Let's hear it for the weekend!

    Cycle/Month: 12th month trying

    CD/DPO: 29/15

    Timing: good according to FF (but can't be that good with all my BFN's the last few days)

    Testing Plans: none waiting on AF

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves: pretty sure I'm out. AF is due today, temp went down again and I'm just really emotional. Ever since my "friend" (using that term lightly bc I'm starting to feel as if she's not such a good friend to me) rudely asked if there was something wrong with DH's sperm, I can't help to start to wonder what if there is something wrong with one of us? I can't help but think about this all with it being month 12. And I know I'm only thinking about this right now bc I'm super emotional. Which is why I feel like AF is coming. There's no other reason for me to be this emotional. Come on AF get it over with!

    Hmmm I wear lingerie sometimes? That's about it though. We are pretty comfortable where we are and there are still sparks.

    @DarcyHermione‌ Im gonna send some positive vibes your way today that your still in :)

    @MrsP924‌ I'm sorry your friend is still being so insensitive towards you >:D< I hope your day gets better!

  • Sorry your friend's comments have you second guessing @MrsP924‌. It's crappy that she just made a really uneducated statement like that. Words last longer than the breath used to speak them. I wish more people would realize that.

    Cycle/Month: 4/4

    CD/DPO: 24/8

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

    Testing Plans: still sticking with April 1 unless it's obvious that it will be a BFN

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves: tell tale back pain today says I'm out.

    GTKY: We make it a point to spend alone time together. This sounds silly, but when we see each other in the evening I'll start an unexpected make out sesh. Other times we will lay lingere on the bed randomly throughout the week or weekend. We aren't too spicy. Not as creative as @DarcyHermione‌. Lol!

    Cycle/Month: 10/11 (4 AL)

    CD/DPO: 25/10

    Timing: -4, -2, 0

    Testing: BFN this morning :( I'll test again tomorrow if no AF

    Phantom Symptoms/Rants etc: I still have a tiny bit of brown spotting, but not as much as 7dpo. Not sure what's going on, but I wouldn't be surprised if AF started today or tomorrow. My temps are still above the cover line but they've been alternating up and down and overall steady (rather than continuing to rise) so I don't really think I'm KU.

    GTKY: DH likes when I initiate, and when we have sex in places other than bed (nothing crazy, but other areas of the house.)
    We're pretty vanilla.

    Edit: Decided to reel back a little bit of sharing. Paranoia of someone knowing me is strong in this one.

  • Thank you so much @FINEdoubleLINE‌! You are so sweet. I'm so emotional that I totally just cried again bc of how sweet you and of course everyone else is here! I am never this emotional. I'm emotional but not to the point of crying at everything. Happy, sad, it doesn't seem to matter right now. It means so much to have all of you ladies here to relate to and talk to. Thank you all!!!

  • Cycle/Month: 2

    CD/DPO: 17/3

    Timing: Just O-4

    Testing Plans: Maybe 11DPO 

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves: Got my crosshairs today!  
     

    GTKY: How do you keep your relationship with DH/SO spicy:  Like @Nachobelley we aren't really the spicy type.  We like to go out to eat and go on weekend getaways when we can.  He's so busy I feel happy if I get to spend any quality time with him at all.

  • @MrsP924 Sorry you're feeling this way, I'm glad you've connected with a community that helps ease the wallowing. 

    Fingers crossed, @rinnybee!

    Cycle/Month: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 24/8

    Timing: Good

    Testing Plans: 4/1 or later, if I can make it

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves: Usually by 8dpo I am bloated as hell, especially in my midsection, and feeling miserable - but this LP, I feel fantastic. Zero bloat whatsoever. I doubt this means anything pregnancy-related, but hey I'll take it!

    GTKY: How do you keep your relationship with DH/SO spicy?  Vacations. Little ones, big ones, overnights - just getting away from our apartment helps. 
  • Cycle/Month: 3/4

    CD/DPO: 28/4

    Timing: -2,-1,+1

    Testing Plans: FF says my ideal day to test is April 13....well see if I can hold off that long!! Lol at least I have some walmart cheapies jic my will power to wait fails.

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves: nothing really. I'm just glad I O'd within a normal period of time since last cycle it wasn't until the 40 somethingth day. Oh my only rant which has been discussed on these boards enough is how annoyed I'm getting at everyone asking me when we're going to have a baby. I just keep telling them "whenever it happens"

    GTKY: How do you keep your relationship with DH/SO spicy
    We're still pretty newly wed so we're still just hot for each other. I like to jump in the tub with him sometimes :)...and since we don't have any kids yet we like to HIO wherever we feel like it instead of sticking to the confines of the bedroom since we will have to for the rest of our lives once a LO comes along.

  • Cycle/Month: 6/10

    CD/DPO: 20/2

    Timing: -2, +1

    Testing Plans: None yet

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves: My cycles seem to be getting shorter! They used to be 2 months long or more! This is awesome but I was not prepared to ovulate this early. I just started OPKs on what I think was O day, and of course they were negative, because I think I missed the surge. (There is a small chance I have jumped the gun by posting here.) We were super lucky to have the timing we had.

    GTKY: How do you keep your relationship with DH/SO spicy?
    I try to be as sexy as possible because I like him to proposition me. It usually backfires and I have to say, "Hey, I'll be in bed with no clothes on."

  • Cycle/Month: -1 maybe...(we were thinking of starting TTC in April, but maybe we'll push it back)

    CD/DPO: 23/8

    Timing: sort of TTA. O-3 and pulled out.

    Testing Plans: none

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves: No rants this time. Luteal phase seems to be progressing as usual. This was going to be our last cycle TTA, but I'm having second thoughts. I'm about to finish grad school, and am wondering career-wise what the best timing would be for getting pregnant. Maybe we should wait. Maybe sooner is better. I have no idea.

    GTKY: How do you keep your relationship with DH/SO spicy? Hmm. Marriage counseling FTW! Actually though - our sex life has improved immensely since going to therapy together.
  • Cycle/Month: 7

    CD/DPO: 20/8

    Timing: hopefully good enough! -5, -4, -2, O, +2

    Testing Plans: 4/1 if my willpower stays strong. I didn't test this morning, small victories! \:D/

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves: little dip today. Not going to freak out. Not going to over analyze anything today.

    GTKY: How do you keep your relationship with DH/SO spicy? I shake my butt. Or grab him when I'm in the mood. And vice versa. Or I wiggle my eyebrows at him. Hahaha

  • Cycle/Month: 5/5

    CD/DPO: 29/16

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

    Testing Plans: used my last wondfo yesterday, just waiting out AF

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves: I had a hint of a shadow yesterday but I went back and looked at pictures of tests from previous month and it's the same or even less obvious than shadows I've had before. I think it's just par for the course with wondfo's. DH came home to me all puffy eyed on the couch, I felt depressed all day. Luckily we went out to dinner with good friends and had some drinks (my first drinks of this entire 2ww, I was trying to avoid it incase it would help implantation or whatever) which helped me forget about TTC for a few hours.

    GTKY: How do you keep your relationship with DH/SO spicy? Dates, lingerie, and trying "new" things in bed ;)

    Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1

    Testing Plans: No plans right now. 

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves: None.  I'm in an unusually good mood the last couple of days.  I mean, I'm not usually a raging bitch but still, better than usual. :)

    GTKY: How do you keep your relationship with DH/SO spicy: Um...just trying to be spontaneous.  I don't like to schedule anything and just let it happen.  It's difficult because DH works 13 hours shifts every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night and the nights he's off it's about kids and homework, etc, etc.  So, just trying to keep it fun.

  • Sorry for your "friend's" insensitive comment @MrsP924‌ :(. Even though we have only be trying for 4 cycles for our second a friend told me I should consider seeing a specialist to "speed things up"...uh really? This is coming from someone who go KU on the 1st try with both her children. People can just be so totally ignorant.

    Thanks hun! Yeah I know what you mean. This "friend" of mine got pregnant with her first by mistake, choose to speed up getting married by getting married 2 weeks before my wedding. Fast forward to now and she's pregnant with number two after only a month or two of trying. And I only know that because she told me when they started to try and was all concerned of how the timing works with getting pregnant. When I shared my knowledge to her it was like boom few weeks later she's pregnant! Don't get me wrong I'm happy for her but I'm so indifferent with her not just on this but years of her being a flaky friend to me or just not there for me at all.

  • Cycle/Month: 8 post bc/4 actively trying

    CD/DPO: 16/2dpo-ish

    Timing: Not horrible...O-5, O-4, O

    Testing Plans: Absolutely none. I don't have high hopes and don't want to board the crazy train this cycle.

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves:

    Nothing really. Still having some mild residual O pain on the right side but that isn't unusual.

    GTKY: How do you keep your relationship with DH/SO spicy

    Nothing crazy. Lingerie and child-free time helps. I send him dirty pics while he is away for work and we send each other sexy texts and emails. Even when we don't have time for all that it is still great. He is my best friend so just the every day closeness is enough to keep the spark even after 10 years together.
  • Cycle/Month: 1

  • Cycle/Month: 3/ 2 AL

    CD/DPO: 21/6 (I O'd at a normal time this month!)

    Timing: -3, -2, O

    Testing Plans: None unless AF is late, which should be around April 6 or 7

    Phantom Symptoms/Chart Stalks/Rants and Raves: I feel completely normal. I had some pretty intense lower back cramps yesterday that I've only gotten with my BFP cycle, but I'm not reading much into it. I am done temping until AF. I confirmed O and am done obsessing. lol. I'm surprising myself with my ability to be laid back this cycle. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to do it.

    GTKY: How do you keep your relationship with DH/SO spicy? We have lots of sex which keeps us wanting more. We do alot of flirty touching at random times of the day. When we cook, just walking around the house, etc.
