Testing plans: somebody telling me that testing tomorrow is a complete waste of time and a test! I really don't even want to test until my period is late, but I'm not sure I can last that long. I'll probably hold out until Friday, which is only 9dpo. The smart side of me says to wait until Monday (12dpo) but this is my first month, so I deserve to be a little stupid, right??
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: nothing!
GTKY: What story does your friends/family always tell about you? I cried ALL THE TIME when I was a baby. I hope my babies are nothing like me!
Yuck. Sorry for all the BFNs.
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 21/6

Hey! I understand how you feel. I have an emotional attachment to tomorrow. My gmom passed away 3 yrs ago tomorrow. To get a + would really make it a great day and I could tell my dad (after it was fully confirmed) that I found out on the 23rd! HOWEVER, there really is no point. Don't waste your money!
GTKY: What story does your friends/family always tell about you? When I was 11, I brushed passed a lady and accidentally pulled her wig (partial hair extensions) off when it got stuck on my overalls.
Testing plans: No plans.... I will not waste a stick. I will not waste a stick. I will not waste a stick.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: Started spotting after sex last night and continued to spot through today. Pretty sure I'll start tomorrow since my typical LP is 9 days...boo.
GTKY: What story does your friends/family always tell about you? My mom loves to tell the story of when my brother and I were little driving with her in the car. He was probably 5 and I was 2 or 3. I was strapped in my car seat and dropped my drink so I proceeded to look at my brother and say "son of a bitch Joseph". My mom uses it as a don't swear around your kids lesson.
@Remylove1011 I applaud your self control not to pee on things . I must learn! FX you are still in it this cycle!
@ginger1228 depends how you will feel seeing a BFN in case it is to early. But maybe do it this cycle since it's your first then if their is a next one (FX you are good this cycle ) you will know. GL!

I think I'm ok with a BFN this cycle. We only had sex once (-2) and it's our first month, so I don't really have high expectations, but I do hate wasting a test even if they are just wondfos!
@ginger1228, I think you should wait til 12 DPO but I'm biased because I tested early, got a BFP, and then turned into a chemical pregnancy. That's the only reason I won't test early again for my 2nd cycle. But I totally get the need to, I took probably 10 plus tests last month. Good luck!!
@dazzld1, Congrats!! FX for a darker line tomorrow!
@holly628 - that's a really good point. I'll try to wait it out. I'm ok with a BFN (at least I am in my head), but a BFP that turns into a CP sounds like a total mind fuck that I'd rather avoid. Thanks!

Those were my thoughts exactly! I never expected a BFP, especially on my first cycle, so the CP really fucked with my head. Just a different way to look at it but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you lady!
@Jags8 - that sounds good!!!! I'll be better if I have a buddy. We can tell each other to quit being stupid and just wait. It's only 4 days. We can make it!
Thanks @holly628 ! FX for you too!

I'm posting late today, it's my Monday and I'm all out of sorts
Cycle/Month: 2/3
CD/DPO: 25/6
Timing: -5, O
Testing plans: can I join the Saturday group @jags8 and @ginger1228? That will make me 10 DPO
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: mayyyyyybe some sore boobs and definitely tired but I chalk that up to my work schedule this week. I haven't had to be up at 5 am for months.
GTKY: What story does your friends/family always tell about you? One is when I was 2 or 3 and our fireplaces popped sending an ember onto the carpet. I freaked and told my mom the fire was "jumping". She was so confused, followed me out and saw a burn mark and then cracked up laughing at my (over) reaction. The other is when I tried to kill a big bug that was on our window by throwing large rocks at it. I still remember my dad yelling at me for that!
Hello! I'm new to the TWW threads. I've posted a bit here and there, but I want to join in here!
Cycle/Month: 2
CD/DPO: 14/O day
Timing: Pretty good I think? -4, -2, O and hopefully O+1
Testing plans: I'm going to wait until August for sure. Probably make it to 10DPO which is the first. My dad passed away in August 11 years ago. I'd love to get a BFP in Aug, or at least find out then!
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: I used too much pre-seed and there was a failure to launch last night. Womp Womp. Hopefully missing -1 won't be a detriment.
GTKY: What story does your friends/family always tell about you?
This is so morbid but it's a hilarious story now. My dad died on Aug 20 when I was 15. I walked in after school and found him dead from a heart attack. Like 2-3 days later, my to-be adoptive dad made this marinated chicken. It smelled RANK when I got home from school. So we're having dinner later that night and I have a friend over. We're all commenting on how good the chicken was. I was like..yeah, I'm really surprised. I walked in the house and my first thought was 'who died?' All of a sudden, everyone gets this absolutely horrified face. I realize what I said and I start crying. And then laughing. And then a mix between the two. It was an absolute mess. But it was SO needed that night.
Cycle/Month: 1/ 1
CD/DPO: 21/6
Timing: -6, -3, -1, +1
Testing plans: since this is the 1st month going to wait for AF to be late.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks/Symptoms: headaches, body aches, and exhausted
GTKY: What story does your friends/family always tell about you? About me being the tomboy on the block
@TheTrunchbull - that is a morbid story but you need those laughs to get through the pain. I'm sorry about your dad.
I do have a question about people who put 0 as their O date. How do you know today is the day?? I wait until 3 days of raised temps and then move over here. Do you guys go off your cycle day or an OPK? I've seen a few people put 0 and always meant to ask.
@ginger1228 I'm GUESSING it's today. I turned 3 OPKs today and I had a serious temp drop. It could be tomorrow, but I feel like it's today based on OPK, temp and CM
@ginger1228 - I will likely move over here tomorrow if I get a temp higher than my others. My O date has been CD 21 last cycle and (it seems) this cycle as well. That, combined with my positive OPKs and CM makes me confident of my impending O. Of course, FF won't catch up for a few days. If I'm really concerned I will put in dummy temps for the following 2 days to be sure FF gives me CHs.
TTC #1 since May 2014 3 failed IUI cycles Oct '15 - IVF 1 - 10R, 3M, 0F Sept '16 - IVF - 12R, 11M, 5F and 3 perfect day 5 blasts - MMC 7w5d Jan '17 - FET 1 - BFP, EDD 10/14
^ thanks ladies! I've only been temping for three months and my O date has been different each month (17, 13, then 15). Last month's chart is ugly bc my temp surged and I thought that was O but then it dropped. I think I didn't sleep well. I haven't been good about doing OPKs, but may try them next month.
Welp looks like I will be heading over to WTO. Just started spotting. I'm just going to count tomorrow as CD1 since I'm about to go to bed. That should be fine right, counting tomorrow as CD1 since my spotting just started?
Good luck to all you ladies! Fx for you all!
Eta: super sad but at least I get to hang out with some of you lovely ladies another cycle.
@MiraK03 - so sorry for the spitting! I would wait until you get red blood to count cd1. That's what I've read anyway. Since I went of BC in May, I've started spotting (brown) two days before my actual period starts. I wait until red to count CD1. I hate spotting. I never did that before BC.
@WAMOM - a line is a line is a line! Are you testing again in the morning?
@MiraK03 sorry for the spotting @norsern sorry for the BFN @osesecret - looks like there are testing groups forming for both Friday and Saturday, so you will be in good company either way. FX! @kcjotx if you test on 10dpo, that would put you in the Friday test group @littleliverpill glad FF came to a date you agree with! @michyme123 sorry you are out as well @RoastyToasty - Friday seems to be turning out to be a nice sized test group! @Jags8 FX for you! I will be stalking Saturdays TWW thread @kdecker2009 yay! Another Friday tester! FX! @frankenmom Sorry you are down about your test this morning. Hopefully that turns into much better news later this week - 9dpo is really early @Diordra sorry for the temp drop @bostonbaker I am so anxious for your test tomorrow! Please post early! @MrsGreen92014 hopefully having such a large testing group on Friday will be good luck for us! @DarcyHermione I am jealous of your margaritas! @meg_2006 yes, 9dpo is really early. Join the test groups on either Friday or Saturday! @kelley72 I hope that turns into a BFP for you soon! @lilobaby welcome to TWW @mal922 10dpo would put you in the Saturday test group, so you will be in good company! @JerseyAKL FX your LP cooperates and you can join the testing fun on Friday! @DaikokuJess you are much stronger than me. I hide all my tests until testing day @CrazyCupcake52 FX for you tomorrow! @tlc35 FX for you tomorrow too! Looks like tomorrow has a good group going on as well @wine&cupcakes FX the late O ends up working well in your favor! Also, I have always really loved that story from my gma. And I do hope that my symptoms end up being legit! @delujm0 I admire your strength to wait out 16 days @Aldermanbaby sorry for your bfn as well. Hopefully it is just too early to test for you. FX @dazzld1 I totally see the line! Congrats!! @BillyHorrible you are 14dpo and are waiting until August 3rd to test? I also admire your patience! @JellicalParker I think tomorrow would be way early to test either way. I would hold out until Saturday. FX! @MamaZEsquire hopefully you and FF can come to an agreement soon @WAMOM a line is a line! Congrats! @Amgc727 sorry for the temp drop @pmreed79 yay! Friday testing buddies! It looks like we will have a pretty good size group testing with us that day! Hoping your temp drop = implantation dip! FX so hard for you! @Pinkster+ hopefully your timing works out better than you anticipate. And I love your tattoo @nicpug are you using FF? Just wondering since you said unsure on your timing @Belle0720 FX you will be able to join the Saturday test group! @ginger1228 I am in the same camp as @holly628 in that I don't like to test before my missed period, which puts me at 12dpo. As much as I want to see a BFP, I am terrified of testing earlier and finding out about a CP @ChocoChipPancakes I know it's random but your screen name just made me super hungry @Remylove1011 sorry for the spotting @beepity GL to you along with the rest of you Saturday testers! @TheTrunchbull hopes you get CHa soon so you will have a better idea on your timing. Also, is your screen name a Matilda reference by any chance? @nalex420 FX for you. I think it's great that you are deciding to wait until missed AF to test. I would have saved myself a lot of tests and probably stayed a bit more same had I done that on my first cycle! @Cythe hope to see you over here tomorrow! Been missing your face around here!
