Re: ***TWW Thursday***

  • Cycle/Month: 9

    CD/DPO: 44/4

    Timing: -2, O, +1

    Testing Plans: Fri, June 6 (11 DPO)

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: None. I keep having weird ute twinges when I stretch funny but it can't be anything good yet so my body just likes to mess with me. ;) Also I have horrible gas, but that may be from all of the pizza and junk food I've eaten this week.

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried? I'm pretty tame and picky about food, but lately I have been trying more things. My H will eat anything, so I don't typically trust his judgement, but I did eat some fried alligator of his the other day and it was as delicious as he claimed.

  • Cycle/Month:11

    CD/DPO:29/10(guessing based on FFs new projection)

    Timing:4 out of 6 FW days

    Testing Plans:Mon (-) n today (-)

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks:confused but I guess that's what I get for not being a "temper" it's just a lil too difficult with DS right now. I have so many symptoms, so that is really messing with my mind. Will wait til Sat to test again (if still no AF).

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried?
    Alligator and also frog legs...sounds cliche but both taste just like chicken..lol!
  • Cycle/Month: 3 (2AL)
    CD/DPO: 24/ 9dpo
    Timing: O+1, O
    Testing Plans: I started yesterday. I know I know, super early, but I have a bunch of internet cheapies that expired last month, so I figured I would use them up. BFN today.

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: meh. I am not feeling good about this cycle. I have mentally prepared myself for CD 1 next week.

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried?
    My family is very English, so I grew up on bland food. I would say the most "out there" food I have tried is haggus.

    Cycle/Month: 2/2

    CD/DPO: 30/ 14-ish? 

    Timing: good

    Testing Plans:  nope. 

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: cramping, tons of CM, and a tinge of pink today. I'm assuming my period will be here soon, so I can get on to the next cycle. 

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried?

    Oh goodness, lots.  All sorts of innards (pig intestines, etc.), alligator, rabbit, snake, shark fin, sea cucumber, pigeon, chicken feet, duck liver pate, crab roe, I'm sure there are lots more I'm forgetting. 

    These were all eaten pretty much just so I could say I've had it. The only thing offered I've flat out refused was the bull testicles. Nope.  I do live in China, so the opportunities are there. 

    EDIT: yes, @Bennfield10, frog legs! They really do taste like chicken. I was so surprised to find that cliche was true!

    FF gave my my chs this morning, so joining you ladies from WTO!

    @rentaduckie‌ I'm right there with you not agreeing with FF about O this month! I'm still too new to offer any great opinion about o though!

    Cycle/Month: 2

    CD/DPO: 29/5

    Timing: -3, -1, O, +1 according this these ch but I disagree (see below)

    Testing Plans: not until AF is late

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: FF says I O'd on Saturday, but I think I O'd on Monday! Had high opks Friday and Saturday, then peak Opk Sunday! This is my first month charting so can I get your opinions/chart stalk?

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried?
    I am a picky eater so nothing too out there! But I did read some ladies on here at pineapple core during tww so I bought one yesterday and ate part! Will eat the other part today! I feel like the captain of the crazy train this month, willing to try anything!

    Probably shark.... Not a very adventurous food person.

  • Cycle/Month:

    CD/DPO:21/4

    Timing: -4, O

    Testing Plans: I tested yesterday since we're going on vacay today and I wanted to be super-sure before the drinking, obviously negative

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: I'm going to Dublin tonight! Woot Woot! And in-law drama has been resolved!

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried?
    I should preface this with that I live in France and my sister-in-law is Japanese. So I dont consider frog's legs, escargot, foie gras, sheep's head, shark, and various other things even bizarre anymore. My definite most out-there thing, that I'm somewhat ashamed to have eaten: Whale. It was in Japan, and I still feel a little guilty. Plus it wasnt that good either, kinda like beef with a fishy undernote.

    @OnceInLoveWithAmy‌ sorry for your n, but its still early! I have that urge to test early even when I say I won't too! It's so hard waiting!

    @trinitrotoluene‌ Congrats on the teaching job, so exciting! Im a teacher too! What will you be teaching?

  • Congrats in the official signing of your job contract @trinitrotoluene‌ !

    Sorry to everyone who had BFNs. Hopefully it's still too early.

    Sorry @rentaduckie‌ , I'm no help when it comes to looking at charts. But it does seem a little off, esp with all the positive OPKs.



    Cycle/Month: 2

    CD/DPO: 22/9

    Timing: good

    Testing Plans: none anymore

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: temps are below my coverline still. My temps are really all over the place. I'm getting a little frustrated. All can chart stalk if interested:

    This is my first cycle with them. I have no idea if that's possible. Maybe they're broken. The test line is still darker than the control.
    I have had + OPKs after a confirmed O (by temping) they are usually just not as dark as they were prior to O. They can be a pain sometimes more than a help...

    Cycle/Month: 13/14

    CD/DPO: 21/5

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

    Testing Plans: Saturday, June 7th... had an HCG booster yesterday so that's the test day given to me by my RE

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: I haven't been temping because I'm on a medicated cycle, so there isn't much to look at.  I'm still pretty excited that I had EWCM this month, because previous months have been at most a day of watery (but more likely dry) and then move on to creamy.

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried?  I'll try just about anything, but there aren't a lot of opportunities for trying outrageous foods here in my city.

     Congrats @noodlehead05!!!  <:-P

    Cycle/Month: 5 


    CD/DPO: 26/10ish

    Timing: ok

    Testing Plans: Really trying to hold out, but might have to cave here soon

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: Yesterday I posted about how I was showing some symptoms that could also be consistent with a UTI. Haven't had any other symptoms develop, and the UTI test kit I got at the pharmacy came up negative yesterday afternoon AND this morning. So I think that's good news. Still going to keep an eye on it, though, just in case.

    However, I still had light nausea and bad cramping in the shower this morning. The nausea wound up getting so bad on my way to work, when I got to my office I almost started dry heaving. Feeling better now that I've had breakfast, though. 

    Thank you guys, for letting me rant about my crazy symptoms. (If this is just super bad PMS I'm going to be pissed :P)

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried?
    Fried gator with my in-laws in Florida, and fried rattlesnake at this place near the Grand Canyon. The gator was better.

    Cycle/Month: 1st AL/9

    CD/DPO: 26/9

    Timing: O-2, O-1, O

    Testing Plans:this weekend if AF doesn't show

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: Trying not to get my hopes up too high

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried? Probably tripe.
  • @CrazyCupcake52 I can't see a second line BUT 10DPO is still way early! Test again if you miss your period! Good luck :)
    Yeah I know it's still early.  I'm just addicted to POAS!
  • Congrats @noodlehead05!

    Cycle/Month: 1

    CD/DPO: 25/14

    Timing: O-2

    Testing Plans: Done testing. Just waiting for AF.

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: Temp spike today, but I think that's probably due to drinking last night. I'm feeling a little better about being out this cycle. I figure I'll get my period anywhere from tomorrow to Sunday. 16 days is the longest my luteal period has ever been, so I won't even consider testing again unless I go past that.

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried?

    Chicken hearts. I was in Brazil, and they grill them up as appetizers at BBQs.

    I put a request in to change my SN a month ago, and forgot about it, but looks like it changed. Just in case anyone is curious.

    Cycle/Month: 5/5

    CD/DPO: 25/11

    Timing: O-4, O-1, O

    Testing Plans: I caved on DPO 9, BFN. I'm trying to hold out till CD12 at least. With DS I got two negatives early and a positive on DPO 14, so...

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: I'm super bloated which makes me think AF is on her way.

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried? Boring over here, probably buffalo. Not really adventurous.

    CD/DPO:19/4?

    Timing: -3, -1, O (approx)

    Testing Plans: none unless I'm late. Which means I'll start ASAP. Ha

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: well I'm currently on vacation with H's family. No temping due to the sleeping situation (sofa bed in the living room. I don't sleep well) and also we have been drinking every night, so it's pointless. I snuck around and had a +opk way earlier than I imagined (cd14) so the sex was creative. We had to tell my MIL and she took FIL "on a drive" so we could be alone. Talk about awkward. Haha. I made FF put CH's the day after my + opk, though I technically have no idea if I o'd since I'm not temping to confirm. This is turning out to be an odd FW for sure.

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried?
    This trip alone I've tried octopus and escargot. I've also had beef cheek.

    @bostonbaker‌ It was pretty small, but bigger than I expected. About the size of a marble, if I'm remembering correctly (it was a long time ago), maybe a little smaller? Bigger than a pea? Somewhere in that range :). It was disgusting, so I don't have fond memories of it.

    CD/DPO:22/9?

    Timing: -2, -1

    Testing Plans: Tomorrow, to get it over with.

    Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: My breasts are sore, which is totally normal around this time in my cycle, so I'm pretty sure I'm out. I'm so tired of this. I know I've still had it fairly easy, but I'm so done with getting my hopes up, even slightly, to end up the same as every month before. I'm so lonely with regard to IF. And I'm getting really tired of MH having performance stress every month. Like, maybe if we could hit more than 2 days in my FW it would happen already. I've been poked, prodded, cut open, u/s-wanded, and medicated. I'm soooo sorry that you have to worry about having an orgasm. (To be fair, he's on a medication that does make it difficult sometimes; I'm just angry and frustrated.)

    GTKY: What is the most adventurous or 'out there' food you have ever tried?
    Hmm, I've had beef tripe, eel, shark, caribou, and alligator. I feel like there's something else, but I can't remember it. :/

    Why are your temp dips open circles? Because if they weren't, I'd say you probably O'ed on CD12. But ... I can see why it could also look like you haven't O'ed yet...
    The open circle were my temp times. I tested mainly at 6:30 but I tested a couple times around 5:30 and 7:00 am

  • Cycle/Month: 5 (after year & a half break) CD/DPO: 16/4 Timing: -1, O, +2 (schedule conflicts suck!) Testing plans: Thursday June 6 Rants/Questions/Chart Stalks: going emotionally insane, working hard not to read into everything. Sore nipples, unusual for me at this point in the cycle, headaches, acne, bloating, achy low abd/pelvis. Yeah, clearly doing a great job not focusing on irrelevant signs this early. Also-emotional mess, lots of crying yesterday & today- heaven help me. GTKY: tried a dish in Germany with a lot of odd looking meats and other ingredients- specifically asked not to know what exactly I was putting in my mouth. Had one bite, wasn't horrible, but ate French fries with mayonnaise and ketchup (Dutch, and very popular over there) for a safer meal choice LOL.
