Testing Plans: Thinking AF is coming so probably not until she is late which would be this upcoming Sunday.
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: Spotting yesterday, heartburn, gas, and nipple pain. All new things for me but not getting my hopes up yet since our timing wasn't too great.
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you?
Mine was spice girls with my mom. I was probably around 10ish I can't remember exactly.
Greetings from China! Quick check-in on my vacation.
Cycle/Month: 13
CD/DPO: 19/5, or so FF thinks
Timing: good
Testing Plans: like 20 DPO, I'm no fun.
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: My chart sucks again! I hope it's not anovulatory like last month but it's not very convincing either way right now. GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? Maybe Amy Grant...not sure on age, 11ish.
***********************************
TTC #1 for 18+ months - Age 32
Aug-2014: All initial testing went well, waiting for 2015 for possible IUI.
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: Finally got a temp drop this morning. Not the answer I wanted, but now I know AF is on the way. Sigh. I'll head over to W2O as soon as there's pink..
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? George Strait. I was 4. My parents say he waved and winked at me as I sat on my stepdad's shoulders. ;-)
Edit: Now that I think about it, maybe FF messed up my O date this cycle. CD12 is super early..I was around 14-16 the cycles before. Anyone want to take a gander at my chart?
Testing Plans: I wasn't going to test again, but I did and I got a BFN on a Walmart cheapie.
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: Yesterday I was sure I was out because my temp dropped (not below CL). This morning it was back up and higher than its been since O, so I tested. Is it possible to have a high temp the day you start AF??? I know LP can change, but mine has never been more than 12 days.
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? I went to a Newsboys concert at 19.
@adoucette06 I would mark the time you temped yesterday in FF. It may leave an open circle but at least the system knows that the temp may not be accurate so it won't use it in future calculations, or it may if it fits in with your pattern.
@katydid2014 Glad your temp is back up! FX for you!
@kdE2010 Sorry for CD1.. Looks like I'm with ya there. My LP and temps have been nuts this cycle. I hope yours level out!
@babycowbell I'm sorry about your chart..FX things become more clear.
Sorry for the BFNs today. I'm mobile now but can look at charts in a little while.
Cycle/Month: 1/2
CD/DPO: 35/13
Timing: -2,O
Testing Plans: maybe Wednesday 15 DPO if AF hasn't started.
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: meh just really waiting for next cycle. Still having dull cramps that I get before my period starts. DH would also say I'm PMSing.
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? It was a "Birthday Bash" concert at the fairgrounds by the country radio station when I was maybe 12. I don't remember all the artists but I think Blackhawk headlined.
@epidemic we saw George Strait this year on his farewell tour. So. Good!
Testing Plans: Told my husband I'd wait until after July 4th so that if we're pregnant and he gets drunk on the 4th he doesn't accidentally tell anyone! lol
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: My temp didn't spike today as I expected, and my positive OPK on Saturday didn't have a fade in fade out pattern...so now I'm not sure if I ovulated yet or not!
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? Keith Urban freshman year of college!

****** April '15 January Siggy Challenge: Exercise/Workout Fails ******
Testing Plans: tested yesterday, got a squinter on a dollar tree cheapie, tested FMU this AM on FRER- another squinter, going to get another box of FRER and a digital today, will continue to test for the next few days, so hope you guys don't mind it I hang out. DH is not convinced and said he would like to "hold out till next weekend to call it" and "doesn't want to get his hopes up too high", and I agree, I have a full range of emotions right now. AF would be due Wed.
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: some cramping, moodiness, insomnia & tiredness
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? I think first concert was Jonny Lang I was probably 15 or so?
@Kredd88 Yes indeed, words before coffee are tricky.
----- I apparently also left my water bottle at the front desk. My coworker just brought it to me. I had no idea. Third time in as many days that I've left it somewhere
@PHNJenna , I agree with PP, that looks totally positive to me. Congrats!
Cycle/Month: 2
CD/DPO: 28/12
Timing: bad
Testing Plans: none
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: Just waiting out this cycle so we can try to do better with timing next time. The only symptoms I'm noticing at the moment are of the poison ivy I have. Ugh.
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? Sweet Honey and the Rock, about 7 or 8.
Me 37, DH 34 Married 8/8/09 Surprise BFP 4/17/16; MC 5/13/16 at 7w2d
Testing Plans: Trying to hold out until 12 DPO. Those Wondfos are calling my name, though... :P
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: More of the same.
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? I think my first real concert was the Cranberries, age 15. (I might have been to a Weird Al concert before that, though. I can't remember.)

Cycle/Month: 9/8
CD/DPO: 16/3
Timing: +2....so pretty much nonexistent.
Testing Plans: none
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: I was out of town without DH, so that's why our timing is the way it is. I got my first blood draw done yesterday, and I will go back in Friday for the 7 DPO draw. I'm really curious to see what my progesterone levels are since my doctor is suspecting they are low.
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? Weezer at age 18.

BFP: 3/14/2014, CP 3/17/2014 6/13/14 - Began O & 7 DPO bloodwork
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: The last couple cycles has been very constant at 36 days with my temperature starting to slowly drop days before. But today I took my temperature and it was below the cover line. Never had that happen. No clue what that means. Maybe my cycle will be shorter this time around and we can start trying again next cycle sooner. Other than that, I'm tired but that's not new.
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? I think it was a NSYNC concert but I have no idea how old I was. Probably 10 or 11. It was for a friend's birthday.

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: My spotting turned brown yesterday & has almost stopped now. Hopefully it stays that way. I don't want to let go of hope, but I also don't want to get my hopes up.
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? New Kids on the Block when I was 9 for my friends Bday. Lol
Testing Plans: Not sure. I get anxious but I don't want to waste a test and haven't purchased WFs yet! Maybe the day AF is due!
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: Had some pretty severe pain on the left side of my pelvis yesterday. It's been coming and going since then. I feel a bit bloated, but other than that, nothing!

Rants/Raves/Phantom
Symptoms: I've been getting super emotional all morning, which is completely not like me. I think it's leftover from the hcg trigger shot, because it's too early for anything else.

My Ovulation Chart - No data, just meds
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: FF finally gave me CH this morning. It took an extra day to
get them this time around. I think it was because Saturday and Sunday temps
were pretty low since I was camping this weekend and it was pretty cold
overnight. Kinda bummed on our timing… If O had been on CD 11 like in the past,
it would have been -2 and O… but O decided to come a day late. Should have just
gone for ED because now I am mad we missed -2 L Oh well
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? I think my first concert was an Avril Lavigne
concert when I was about 13 or 14.
I haven't been around long enough or posted as frequently as I would have liked to be able to make a separate post- but we got our BFP today. Yesterday was the faintest squinter you ever saw but today was darker!
I'm gonna move on to 1st Tri after this post but I'll prob still lurk around here once in a while. I enjoy the TTGP board but I hope I don't have to return- last pregnancy ended in MC at 6 weeks so my fingers are crossed!
DH was with me when we tested. We temped, HIO, the usual. Good luck to you all this cycle and next!

Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: totally unrelates, my dog has been such an asshole for about a week now. He will bark whenever both DH and I are both asleep. Once one of us is up, he goes straight to sleep. I haven't slept more than a couple of hours at a time. Grrr. Related, my husband noted that my already gigantic boobs look fuller and feel heavier than normal the other night. I'm exhausted, but I work two jobs so it could be that. And my back has been much more problematic for me lately, I have sciatica, but again that could be from work or even from not sleeping well.
QOTW: My first concert was the Newsboys. An Aussie Christian rock band, when I was 12. It was probably one of the better concerts I've been to.
Testing Plans: I have been testing and now I am done testing until thursday or friday. I can't seem to get a dark enough line to believe it and it isn't getting any darker.
Rants/Raves/Phantom Symptoms: A lot, but it could just be my anxious body.
GTKY: What singer/band was your first concert? How old were you? I don't think I went to a concert until I was 12 or 13, it was probably a chirstian band Five Iron Frenzy
