@ImJessesGirl Isn't it so frustrating when you have so much hope and then you get to the last few days of your LP and want to scream NOOOOO! at the BBT.
Um yes...This is only my first month temping, but yeah... it is.
Me: 33 DH: 31 DD: 10 (born August 2004) Married 03/01/14 TTC#2 BFP: 05/17/2014 EDD: 1/25/15 MMC: 06/30/2014
I didn't get a chance to read yet since I'm at work so I can't comment on anything yet...
Cycle/Month: 1
CD/DPO: 19/7
Timing: grrrrreat
Testing Plans: 24 th
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Phantom Symptoms,Etc: I say this as more of a funny thing but if I am pregnant than I'll be like I knew it bc of this....last night I ate nachos and cheese. Wtf you ask? Well when I was pregnant before I craved nachos and cheese and ate a plate every single day! Haha
GTKY: If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Explain yo'self! Purple? I just like it
CD/DPO: 19/1 (according to FF based on opk and cm; no temping)
Timing: O-3, O-1, O
Testing Plans: Not for a while. Going to try to hold out for awhile this cycle but we'll see.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Phantom Symptoms,Etc: My DH was diagnosed with epididymitis yesterday and started an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory. I'm nervous this hurt our chances this month (But grateful it isn't something more serious). Any experience with this? Also, going to HIO for a few more days just to be sure we hit it right since I'm not temping.
GTKY: Cerulean. Blue is my fav and this shade of blue is not too dark and not too bright. It's juuuuust right lol.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Phantom Symptoms,Etc: the lovley ladies yesterday helped me out with my f'd up chart so I think I'm on 9DPO now which moved my timing from great to bad....
GTKY: If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Explain yo'self! I would probably be some shade of cream. My closet has very little color. For some reason I'm just drawn to earth tones.

I'm coming out of lurking because my body is effing with me this month and I'm starting to get pissy and need to share.
First though congrats to the BFP!
Cycle/Month: 3/4
CD/DPO: 34/14
Timing: Good (my DH and I suck at TTA)
Testing Plans: All the days... See rants
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Phantom Symptoms,Etc: So like I've stated my H and I decided to TTA for the summer months. DS has his first birthday next month and we have a huge vacation planned for August so we thought taking a break would be best. Of course AF decides this month to be late. I even had some pretty awful cramping and was for sure AF was right around the corner but no not even a hint. So I've been a crazy POAS person and all BFNs boo! Seriously I either wanna get on with it or see double lines. Listen body quit effing with me. Ok rant over... I feel better
GTKY: If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Explain yo'self! My favorite color is purple but I honestly think I would be that awesome blue crayon that you only get if you buy the big Crayola box. I dunno why really it's just how I feel.
Cycle/month: 2/2 (1st with OPK)
CD/DPO: 25/10 (will start temping next month if AF comes)
Timing: good, I think
Test plans: not until AF doesn't show now, will-power ran out and I tested today w/BFN (Target blue dye, though)
Rants/Raves/Etc: I will quote Marlin from Finding Nemo, "Good feeling gone." I guess I'm doubting it now. Going to buy wandfos if AF comes and BBT therm. DH is gone 2 weeks, home 2 weeks, gone 2 weeks....(for the next few months), so let's hope for good timing.
GTKY: purple, it's been my favorite color forever. It was also my great grandma's favorite color.
Good luck to all and hang in there!
@Sassmaster33 sadly I have nothing really to reference to before I started charting. I was EFB for awhile and then went about 3 months before AF showed up again and since then I have been charting so in all honesty this could be a normal thing. Bleh
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Phantom Symptoms,Etc: I like the look of my chart this month -- temps are steadily rising and higher than they've ever been in the past 8 months, which could mean something, or nothing. Trying not to get my hopes up. Chart here.
GTKY:If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Explain yo'self! Malachite! It was in a 16 pack of Crayolas I had as a kid -- Gem Tones. It's the prettiest metallic teal... I also liked Lapis Lazuli and Moonstone. Actually, I loved all of those crayons. I wish I still had them.

@MaddScientist I wouldn't automatically assume that you're having a CP because you have a faint line on the FRER and a negative on the digital. The digitals are a lot less sensitive. Since you've had a previous CP, can you get in for betas to see if your numbers double? I'm really sorry you're stuck not knowing exactly what's going on. I hope it ends up being good news for you!

CD/DPO: 27/? Guessing about 11 or 12 based on non temp signs
Timing: All the time
Testing Plans: I imposed a 3ww after my cp because I thought that I wouldn't want to know, but I'm questioning that. Does anybody know if docs can do anything about recurrent cp? Sorry if that belongs on a newbie play date thread.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Phantom Symptoms,Etc: All of them. It's old. It means nothing. I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong as there is a line somewhere between noticing every twinge and actually throwing up all the time, etc.
GTKY: If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Explain yo'self! Maybe white? Unassuming, but surprisingly useful in unexpected circumstances.
Hello Lovely TTC Ladies! Im very new to The Bump and I found it because I'm going INSANE and I feel like I'm going to drive my DH and bestie crazy by all the baby and preggie talk I constantly do. So I searched for this to save them and myself from the onslaught of my baby craze.
Anyway, sorry for the long intro, and please kindly let me know if im doing this wrong. :-)
Cycle/Month: 1/2 (Solidly decided to start TTC last month when I had a long cycle and we thought "maybe", then- AF. *Sadness*)
CD/DPO: 10
Timing: -8, -6, -4, O, +1
Testing Plans: Theoretically to wait until (ideally) 18DPO, but I don't think im going to make it that long. If I'm doing well I'm thinking of testing at 14DPO.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks/Phantom Symptoms,Etc: I keep reading here about testing earlier and im wondering if I'm waiting unnecessarily... I did read parts of the newbie blog and I know the odds get better the longer we wait and DH wants to wait until we have a VERY high accuracy %. I just don't think I;ll be able to. :-/ I know at this point I'm probably past implantation, if its happening this month, since someone said its normally 8-10dpo.
Also, today I just felt awful. No specific complaint, just really off, and the past two days I've been (possibly) oversensitive at work and trying to keep it together over mostly imagined slights from co-workers. I just feel like I'm going crazy and I know it may be PMS from AF being on the road to me, but I can hope, right? lol Craving today: Hamburger. Big, juicy, meaty, with all the toppings, mmMmmm..... Which could also be from that bitch AF. :-/
Help! Im losing my mind!! x.x
GTKY: If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Explain yo'self!
Tiffany Box Blue or something like that which could be blue or green depending on who you are, because I feel like I'm more than one person squashed into one being lately. :-/
