Re: *...TWW Thursday...*

  • Cycle/Month: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 25/11

    Timing: -3,-1,+1

    Testing plans: Have been testing with wondfos for too many days.  BFN again this morning.

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I have a question.  If you have a longer LP would it take longer for a BFP to show up? Or is it based on when you O and the days after that? does that make sense?

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change?    I love my hair.  I hate my butt.

    @itshumpday Thanks for starting! Im sorry for the BFN's, if it makes you feel any better I am in the exact same boat and I am feeling so frustrated. I got another BFP today and I basically want to say Im out, even though I know its never too late till AF shows. I also made the same mistake someone else did yesterday and use an OPK wondfo first and got all excited, then started crying when I realized I made a mistake. Clearly I need help....

    Cycle/Month: 6/13

    CD/DPO: 30/10

    Timing: Good according to FF

    Testing plans: Started testing 8DPO. BFN this morning with a wondfo. Can I ask if people actually trust those? Has anyone gotten a BFN with a wondfo and BFP with something else? Just curious. 

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Still incredibly bloated. I could have sworn I felt kind of nauseous yesterday but, as stated earlier, clearly I am just driving myself insane. 

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change?
    I really like my sense of humor. It doesn't show today bc Im a freaking grouch but I just laugh at everything, and it makes me happy.
    I would change my weight. To a smaller weight.
    Due March 2016 :)

    Yay!  Finally got CHs!
    @itshumpday I don't think the length of your LP has anything to do with when you will test +.  I know of someone that has an 11 day LP and didn't test + till 13 dpo.

    Cycle/Month:
    3/5 2AL

    CD/DPO: 28/3

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

    Testing plans: my goal is to hold out until 10dpo

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms:  I'm excited to have my CHs.  I had a really high temp today.  The only time I have had a temp that high was my BFP cycle so here comes the crazy train.

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change?
    I love my boobs and my intelligence.  I would change getting anxious about things that might happen!

    @WombThereItIs - You might want to edit your post. I think you meant "sorry for the BFNs". :)

    Cycle/Month: 2

    CD/DPO: 24/10

    Timing: -3, O, +1

    Testing plans: I was thinking about testing tomorrow, but now I'll probably wait to see if AF shows (see below).

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms:  My temp is dropping and I'm feeling a little crampy, so AF is probably on the way. Boo!

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? 
     I love how organized I am. 
    What is something you would change? I would like to be more flexible in my thinking... I'm pretty concrete.

    CD/DPO 17/2 I haven't been sleeping for the last 2 days to confirm but had a positive opk 3 days ago

    Timing: fairly good

    Testing plans: on the 25 baring after

    Rants: most painful o cramps I can remember, if I wasn't temping (most days) I would think it was af.

    Cycle/Month: 9/15

    CD/DPO: 45/7....woo! Made it to 7dpo!

    Timing: -1

    Testing plans: My longest LP was 8 days, so if I made it to 9dpo, maybe then.

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Boobs are sore..not just the nipples, but all around. I was concerned about the .8 temp drop yesterday, but I'm back up .6 degrees today. Hang on, progesterone!!

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change? I really like my eyes and hair. Like @osesecret said,  I wish I could get rid of my anxiety! It has come out of nowhere over the past 3 years...never had it before 2011.

  • Hey everyone! I haven't been around these parts in a few months - cycles 4-6 were frustrating for me and I needed to disconnect. I'm feeling a bit more in control, emotionally, so I'm back (with a new name)

    Cycle/Month:
    7/7

    CD/DPO: 24/5

    Timing: Good...with a LOT of planning/effort since my in-laws were staying with us during the fertile window. Yeesh.

    Testing plans: I have a short luteal phase and usually start spotting around 7-8 dpo, so I rarely get to test. 

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Full breasts. Dealing with a clogged ear that is driving me insane. I'd love to hear of any home remedies that have worked for you!

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? I have a really great sense of direction and memory, which is helpful for traveling.  What is something you would change? Sometimes I wish I wasn't so sensitive - I'm a worrier and it really affects my social comfort.
  • @bostonbaker I have horrible arm strength... Like its embarassing! I am glad someone loves their arms lol!

    Cycle/Month: 2/2 

    CD/DPO: 20/6

    Timing: -2,-1,+1

    Testing plans: Tested this morning with a BFN, so MARGARITAS TONIGHT!!! I wont test again until Monday (10DPO). Ok, how realistic that is means I will probably test all weekend, I mean I have like 20 wonfos left ;)

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: My temps have been going up and up every day. I think I got the highest temp I have had in a while today! Also, cramps all day yesterday. 

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change? 
    I love my legs. My arm strength is crap, but I have some pretty great calves if I say so myself!
    I am not sure if there is anything that I would change about myself, I am decently happy with myself and my life!

    Cycle/Month: 2/3 CD/DPO: 28/12 Timing: -6, -3, -1, +1 Testing plans: Ugh I am so upset with myself. I broke down and tested this morning with a FRER...BFN. Now I've basically given up for this month. If by some miracle I miss AF I will test again. Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I'm feeling a little upset about the BFN. I know this is only really my second full month of trying so I am trying to stay rational. While I was lurking the other day I read (I am sorry I can't remember who said it) that you should not get down so early on because it doesn't mean you can't get pregnant and that you just get to try again. That you shouldn't think like this month was the only time you could get pregnant. It is obviously a common sense response, but it helping me to get over the disappointment right now. At least now I know these stupid cramps, boob pain, and sensitivity to smell can all be chalked up to my stupid AF and I can stop freaking out about every bodily change. Urgh... GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change? I think what I like best is that I am really caring and patient (school teacher) and love what I do. If I could change something it would be my need to control (again...school teacher lol) because I know it drives everyone else crazy and tends to stress me out. **Tried to edit the spacing...sorry it is all one jumbled paragraph**
  • @itshumpday hope you're just testing too early!

    @WombThereItIs I have never tested with wondfos I have always had good/well true results with Answer, FRER, and $ store variety best wishes!

    @bostonbaker I agree about when implantation occurs, which we typically don't know until later, is important regarding getting a + at xdpo

    Cycle/Month: 3/4
    CD/DPO: 8dpo
    Timing: Crappy
    Testing plans: Probably won't expect to start on or before my bd 7/26 if I don't then I'll test
    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Nope
    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? I have great legs... I believe I'm open minded and I value that characteristic, I would love to not be so sensitive and get my feelings hurt so easily...

    dammit can't get the Bold to go away

  • Thanks for starting today, @itshumpday. Sorry for the BFNs. :(  That's actually why I stopped testing after my BFN a few days ago. It's too depressing to see stark white day after day. FX for you. 

    Cycle/Month: 2

    CD/DPO: 34/13

    Timing: -5,-1

    Testing plans: Only if AF is late

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: My temps are heading downward so I think AF should be here today or tomorrow. 

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change?: I love my determination. I would change how envious I can get of other people.

  • Cycle/Month: 4(3AL)/11

    CD/DPO: 18/3 (same as yesterday since FF changed my CHs)

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

    Testing plans: none yet

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Glad FF changed my CHs this morning.  I was sure the original ones were off by a day.  I'm also glad we are going away for the weekend, it will help some of the 2WW pass quickly.

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change? I like that I am very go-with-the-flow.  It takes a lot to get me ruffled.  I wish I could have a better sense of direction.  I could get lost in a cardboard box.
  • Cycle/Month: 4/5

    CD/DPO: 25/5

    Timing: O-3, O-1, O

    Testing plans: Unsure, but probably around 12 dpo. (But if I'm being honest then I probably will test before that)

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Nothing really is happening at 5 dpo. 

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change? I like that I have a quick mind. I hate my hair. I would love to change my hair; it became so blah after having my DD with the hormones. Dang hormones!

    CD/DPO: 27/8

    Timing: -5, -3, +1

    Testing plans: Well, I'm the one who posted about testing obsessively yesterday. Thanks to everyone's help I think I've calmed down. May test later this evening with an internet cheapie, but at the moment I'm feeling like I could hold off a bit more. 

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: So constipated. Sorry. If this grossed you out you can put a voodoo curse on me and I'll understand, but it is getting craaay. 

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change? I tend to be funny, well-spoken and poised in person, but I also can have bouts of intense anxiety which makes me hide away from meeting new people.

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: My temps have been pretty up and down this LP. QUESTION: Do your temps have to be above a certain threshold for you to sustain a pregnancy? FF galleries show them up in the 98's and down around mine at 97.7..just wasn't sure and wanted to see what ya'll thought.

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change?

    I love that I can make people laugh so easily. I'm a total extrovert and clown, and I love bringing a smile to people's faces. I would change how quick I am to judge other people..which I've really been working on based lately by taking time to consider their situation before I form a conclusion about them.

    @pippacricket Sorry your temps are heading down.

    @pmreed79 Yay for CH change!

    @pinkoats 8 DPO is still early, so even if you do test tonight, don't be discouraged by a BFN. FX for you tho!

    @TriciaLH58‌ Sorry for your BFN. I understand how hard it can be month after month (we are at month 7), but I'm with you on the attitude. There is still plenty of time (no matter how badly we want it now..ha!) Stressing about it will only make it seem longer (and give us more pimples..which our hormones do enough of already!)

    @humblebee2 OMG! I LOL'd at your post. I can't believe your boss would just blurt that out!

    @itshumpday I would say it's not really based on LP or O day. I did some digging this morning through FF galleries b/c I was worried that my temp was too low for a BFP. I think it's really based individually for everyone.. I know that's not a great answer, but you should check out the charts on there. There are people with BFPs at 8 days, at 14 days, with rocky mountain temps, super high temps, etc. The BFP is based on when your implantation occurs and how quickly your HCG levels rise. FX for you!

  • Sorry for all the BFNs this morning ladies, hoping that you aren't out yet. 

    Cycle/Month: 3AL/ 3 

    CD/DPO: 19/ 2

    Timing: HIGH!!!!  -4 -2 -1 +1

    Testing plans: Well, I am going to try and be patient... I bought some FRERs on sale at Walmart a few days ago... I'm hoping to wait until 12DPO. But I will probably start on 10DPO, because I like to pee on things. haha. 

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Haven't been feeling all that great today or yesterday. Not really sure what's going on and if any of it is actually connected. Like cramps... ALL OVER! Almost like the twitches in your eyelid, but everywhere! I need to eat a banana! I'm also hungry, like 16 year old boy hungry. It doesn't matter that I just ate, I'm still hungry. I've never really had symptoms of O before, so I'm wondering if I'm sick or something else is going on. 

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? I'm really outgoing which helps in both my jobs. I also have such an eye for creativity, I can look at something and figure out how to make it 9 times out of 10. (The other 1 time you usually find me curled up in a corner crying for not being able to figure it out lol)
     What is something you would change? I let things that shouldn't matter get to me, WAY too easily. I really am trying to not be sensitive, but all it takes is one word and I'm done. On top of it, I really do care what people think, which sucks. I wish I didn't care what people think of me.

  • @itshumpday - LP length has to do with your hormones, the reason a short LP is bad is because it doesn't give an embryo enough time to implant and signal your body to make more hormones.  Getting a positive depends on when the embryo implants, which ranges from 6-12 DPO.  You would be able to turn a test positive a few days after that.
    @WombThereItIs - When I had a squinter on Wondfo, I took a FRER and I thought that line was easier to see but still a squinter.  The next couple days my FRER got obviously darker and the wondfo was still pretty light.  
    @epidemic - I worry about low temps too.  Mine usually top out around 97.8.  From what I've read as long as they aren't crazy low and you get a nice sustained temp shift, there isn't a reason to worry.

    Cycle/Month:  13


    CD/DPO:  46 / 7

    Timing:  O-1, O

    Testing plans:  Trying to hold out until Monday (11 DPO)

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms:  Nipples were pretty sore/sensitive last night but nothing else really.

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change?  I have a love hate relationship with my hair.  Some days I love it, others I wish it was thinner and naturally straight.

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: i hate this section since your symptoms for getting KU are the exact same as getting AF

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change?  I love that i'm super weird- I have such a quirky personality and I have no idea where it came from lol - What I would change? I wish I was good at math

    Timing: -3

    Testing plans: If I hit 14 DPO, so... Sunday?

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I'm at full grouch mode of PMS, and I'm out of wine.  I even had a full weeping session last night which normally means AF is 12 hours away - my cycle is screwing with me (ETA: Nope, spotting finally started.  Tomorrow will CD 1.  Much less grouchy.)  Have to go back to have filtered water in my bathroom at night, as I keep feeling hungover in the morning (with no alcohol) and our tap water seems more chlorinated than the average pool.  Also, despite my best efforts, I still have ants in my kitchen (first world problems, all).  But my son is gorgeous, silly, happy, and healthy, so I'm happy.  Mostly.

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? My hair, I suppose. What is something you would change? Lack of organizational skills.

    Testing plans: waiting for 10 dpo

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: It's super earlier so I'm going to take this as yes I ovulated symptoms… sore/sensitive nipples, slight cramping/aching, fatigue today

    ***I have questions and would appreciate any answers I can get from you experienced ladies!  I used to post a lot when I was TTC in Feb.  I got bfp right away but miscarried just 2 weeks later.  We've been ttc now since May.  I have 2 questions… I have had brown spotting a couple days after my period ends since my first miscarriage in Dec 2012.  I didn't think it was anything wrong with that but now I just read in TCOYF that it may mean that my body is not shedding the uterine lining sufficient and therefore it might be hard for a fertilized egg to implant.  Does anyone know anything about this?  I will call my OB about this if I do not get a BFP this month.  2nd question… can someone please chart stalk me.  The last 2 months I've been ovulating very early.. like 12dpo.  And if the uterine lining is not sufficient for implantation and I'm ovulating early maybe my body is not ready even if the egg is fertilized.. does that make sense?  on 1 dpo and 3 dpo I woke up in the middle of the night (after 3 hours sleep) and took my temp both times it was 97.5 but then both times woke up at 7am and took my temp again and it is higher.  I recorded the temp at 7am…. is that correct that I took the 2nd temp?  and now I have a flat line…
    I haven't been active on this board since my miscarriage so if there is answers to these questions in earlier post I appologize.
     

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change?  I feel like i'm a compassionate person.  something I world change about myself is that I get angry quit easily… I'm trying to change that.

    I love my boobs sounds superficial but have just always been proud of them. Right now I am working to change how much pressure I am putting on myself to get pregnant . But I wish my mind would just stopping thinking about it and let me get back to my life untill it happens.
  • @saralu82 I don't have any experience with early ovulation but the spotting after af wouldn't bother me.  Is it alot?  I don't think two months of after af spotting is so far out of the ordinary that I would worry.  I'd definitely chart it and keep notice.  I'm sorry for your loss.  Also, my thoughts on your flat temp is to ask if you are sure you are resetting your thermometer?  If not it may need a new battery, is it old?

    Thank you.  The spotting has been since my miscarriage in Dec 2012 so it's been awhile.  I did mention something to my OB on how my period has changed since then and she said that sometimes our cycles change so I don't know.  I bought my thermometer this past fall so I'm not sure what's going on.  I had a flat line in my TWW last month too and earlier this cycle… maybe I just need a new one.

  • New to posting on TWW so apologies if I'm answering the questions incorrectly!

    Cycle/Month: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 24/1 or 2?(still tested positive yesterday AM, but negative around 5PM)

    Timing: It's my first time posting on TWW, is this TI in relation to O? If so.. -5,-4,-3, and twice while getting positive O tests

    Testing plans: Trying to figure out when I should start testing! My Ovia app says 12 days until testing but I think I will start testing next Friday (which would be 9 or 10 DPO).

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: My nipples were super sensitive and big yesterday, which I feel like I've never experienced before, it was driving me crazy. I also feel like a fish out of water trying to figure out all of this charting, timing, and testing stuff. My inner control freak does not like uncertainty!

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? Physically - I love my hair. It's super thick and holds curls well and I love that! Mentally - I think I have a good eye for design. I've been decorating our new house and my mom and I have started refurbishing furniture to sell. I had so much fun styling a few pieces to take picture and list them and got great feedback from people about them!

    What is something you would change? Physically - My skin. I have huge pores and still get breakouts and I'm 27 years old. I'm super self-conscious about it. Mentally - I'm a huge procrastinator. I always procrastinated in school and do it with work too. Why can't I just time my work properly instead of rushing to get things done?!

    Yes, take the 7 am temp if that is the time you normally temp. Ask your ob about the spotting but i think you are ok. I had 4 days of spotting leading up to af after my m/c and i swore up and down it would prevent me from getting ogr again. Ob was right. 4cycles (6 mo) later i had another bfp.

    Cycle/Month: 4/ 4 (3 after loss)

    CD/DPO: 15/3

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

    Testing plans: waiting for 10 dpo

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: It's super earlier so I'm going to take this as yes I ovulated symptoms… sore/sensitive nipples, slight cramping/aching, fatigue today

    ***I have questions and would appreciate any answers I can get from you experienced ladies!  I used to post a lot when I was TTC in Feb.  I got bfp right away but miscarried just 2 weeks later.  We've been ttc now since May.  I have 2 questions… I have had brown spotting a couple days after my period ends since my first miscarriage in Dec 2012.  I didn't think it was anything wrong with that but now I just read in TCOYF that it may mean that my body is not shedding the uterine lining sufficient and therefore it might be hard for a fertilized egg to implant.  Does anyone know anything about this?  I will call my OB about this if I do not get a BFP this month.  2nd question… can someone please chart stalk me.  The last 2 months I've been ovulating very early.. like 12dpo.  And if the uterine lining is not sufficient for implantation and I'm ovulating early maybe my body is not ready even if the egg is fertilized.. does that make sense?  on 1 dpo and 3 dpo I woke up in the middle of the night (after 3 hours sleep) and took my temp both times it was 97.5 but then both times woke up at 7am and took my temp again and it is higher.  I recorded the temp at 7am…. is that correct that I took the 2nd temp?  and now I have a flat line…
    I haven't been active on this board since my miscarriage so if there is answers to these questions in earlier post I appologize.
     

    GTKY - What is something you love about yourself? What is something you would change?  I feel like i'm a compassionate person.  something I world change about myself is that I get angry quit easily… I'm trying to change that.

    And after stalking your chart ovulating ear,y is not an issue. You have a good period length so thats going to indicate that you have plenty of lining for an egg to implant. ((Hugs)) i know how hard it is to get a bfp to loose it right away, than have it take several months/cycles to get another. Hang in there!

    thank you… I know it's weird but this last post made me tear up… it's such an emotional roller coaster that DH just doesn't get sometimes. and we are not telling anyone we are ttc because of the early miscarriages before.  I put all the blame on myself and I'm just obsessing over it… wanting to have another little one and giving our ds a brother or sister.  And I'm missing our first son, who we lost to SIDS at 7 months, so much. Anyway… I'm going on… just thank you for your kind words.

    I'm so very sorry for your losses @saralu82‌
  • @bostonbaker Thanks! I was tracking my temps for a couple of weeks to get in the habit but then we went on a two week vacay and our morning schedules were all over the place as we traveled around so I put it on hold. So for this cycle I was just using OPKs, but I'm trying to get in the habit of temping again. I have been using both fertility friend and the ovia app, but I really prefer the ovia app--they seem to give the exact same info but I like the look and detail on ovia better. 



  • @bostbaker

    Yea! Most definitely! I have a herniated disk at c5-c6 so I just got cleared for small weight arm exercises, If your suggestions are high weight I can lower the weight and maybe lengthen the workout?

    Your welcome :)  You made me tear up.  I just remember the roller coaster I was on after my m/c and wondered why everybody was getting bfp and I wasn't.  My Dh didn't get it either and neither did any of my friends.  It was hard.    and I am sorry for the loss of your son :(

    My Ovulation Chart
  • Cycle/Month: 10

    CD/DPO: 25/11

    Timing: great

    Testing plans: BFFN! I gave up the pee sticks and I'm escaping to our
    Lake house, Beta is 7/21(Monday)!

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: none other than being so uncomfortably bloated from the progesterone pills.

  • Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: If I could just start my period now, that would be great.
    This. This is exactly where I am right now.

    Cycle/Month: 1

    CD/DPO: Who even knows. I'm starting to think I didn't ovulate at all this month. I usually can tell when I'm ovulating and I didn't feel it.

    Timing: I think most of the BD happened after I was supposed to ovulate. There was a lot of it, but timing...

    Testing plans: Ugh. This morning was the first since Monday (when AF was due) that I didn't test. I'm sick of looking at clean white BFNs. If she doesn't show up by tomorrow I'm going to the doctor. I have to go for another reason anyway so it's not just for that, but I'm going to ask them to test me because maybe the tests I'm using are faulty. I haven't been late in months and months, so this is bizarre. I guess it does take time for the cycle to regulate after getting off BC. I quit in May and AF was right on time in June! Is it normal to be three days late when normally I'm as regular as clockwork?

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: My nipples have been sensitive. I have been cranky and weepy, and just emotional in general. I feel queasy when I don't eat often--something that has been noticeably absent since I got off BC--until now. I have to pee all the time. I'm draggy and tired (although that's because of my poor sleep habits). I have cramps that are weirder than usual, and the stabbing pain in my ovary areas is happening more and more frequently.

    I love that I'm getting more comfortable in my body and personality. But Inattentive ADHD is a bitch. I'd like to overcome the challenges associated with it.

    @saralu82 I'm sorry for your loss! You are both right, sometimes husbands don't get it. My DH is much steadier than I am, so he's not too disappointed or elated either way, although he's excited for us to have a baby. He doesn't get why I'm so freaked out about this whole thing. But that's why we have The Bump, because women need women! We're here for each other. >:D<

    Testing plans: None really. 

    Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: My LP hates me and is generally 9 days long. My most recent was 6... really hoping for 10 days! Temps have been weird and today's was lower than typical in my LP so I'm thinking I may have another very short LP... stupid body...
