Re: TWW Saturday
CD/DPO: 20/8
Timing: -2, O
Testing plans: FF says Aug. 15
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: I feel like crap! TMI... last night and this morning I have had diarrhea and felt like vomiting. My temp is also high this morning at 98.61. I don't know if I have food poisoning or what, but its HORRIBLE!
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? (Witness only, not change in any way) I don't know. Can't think right now but maybe I'll update later.
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: good
Testing plans: none
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: My temps have been slowly falling over the last three days. Here's a link if anyone would be willing to stalk? https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/4dfe48
There are two open circles - the first was 2 and a bit hours of sleep before temping and today I woke up 50 minutes early for some reason (mind you that's 5:40 - WTF??) I drank a little yesterday but nothing significant. I tried looking it up online and all I found was babycenter - it's an implantation dip - congrats! Actual info, please!!!
GTKY: This is such a hard one and I've thought about it a lot (history geek). I think I would want to be in Ford's Theater, watching Our American Cousin, when Lincoln was shot. I've been there and I've sat under the box and it was so eerie - I have to wonder what it might have been like to actually be there and watch John Wilkes Booth jump to the stage and see what the chaos was that allowed him to get away. There are so many more, but that one really comes to mind

GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? (Witness only, not change in any way)..I would like to have gone to Woodstock

Edited because I just realized I clicked post before I finished my thoughts - need coffee!!!!

CD/DPO: 31/8
Timing: Good
Testing plans: Monday
Rants/raves/etc: I have a killer sinus infection, I couldn't sleep at all last night, my boobs aren't even super sore anymore...I just feel out. I was so positive about this cycle yesterday and now I really don't think this is it. I hope I'm wrong.
GTKY: maybe the day the Berlin Wall was torn down.
Hugs @mrskbuck Have you tried a Neti Pot? I swear by that little torture device - it knocks out my sinus infections before they can even get started. Even if you already have a bad one, it should help to lessen the pain and speed up the eviction process. Feel better!!

CD/DPO: 27/9
Timing: -4, 0, +1
Testing plans: Tested this morning...BFN. Expected nothing else for 9 DPO, but now I can get on with my roller coaster plans. Will not test again unless AF doesn't show up by next Saturday. (I only test on weekends, I wouldn't want to get a BFP and then go to work for 10 hours. I wouldn't be able to concentrate).
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: Ow, my boobs.
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? First moon landing. Because then I would get to visit the moon too.
CD/DPO: 18/3
Timing: high according to FF.. -4,-2,-1,0.
Testing plans: going to wait until 12dpo if I can!
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: too early for symptoms. Got my CHs today! Yay for great timing!
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? (Witness only, not change in any way) I just got back from a vacation visiting really old cities in Europe... Too many to choose from!!
CD/DPO: 33/ 3
Timing: -2, -1, 0, 1
Testing plans: testing on the 22 since we are going on vacation on Friday. I am bringing my menstrual cups just in case af comes and told my dh not to let me get down on myself since this is only the first cycle.
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: nope
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? (Witness only, not change in any way)
The building of Stonehenge and ask what it was really used for besides telling the seasons. If i couldn't be seen by anyone I would like to see one jack the ripper murder to see who they really were. I just hate having unanswered questions.
Make a pregnancy ticker
CD/DPO: 17/1
Timing: -2, -1, O
Testing plans: I want to hold out until the 21st, but I doubt that will happen. I'll probably test at 9DPO (that's when I got a BFP with my son, and I can't convince my brain that it's not smart to test so early)
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: None
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? (Witness only, not change in any way): Hmmm, maybe being a fly on the wall while the Egyptians were making pyramids. The Declaration of Independence signing. Landing at Plymouth Rock. I'm boring.

Cycle/month:1/3- Finally!!!
CD/DPO: 70/ FF originally said 4, but changed it this morning to 3 after a temp spike. Sigh.
Timing: Okay, but not great. Originally it was -1, and -2. Now it is O, -2, and -3, but the O sex was late at night, so I worry I missed it. If I have to wait another 85 days to ovulate again I am going to cry. I am crossing my fingers my next cycle is a little shorter.
Testing plans: Hoping to wait until 17 DPO. With a cycle that is 70 days and counting, I have seen enough negative tests, and would prefer to just wait for a period. That said, this is a very lofty goal for me and I doubt it will be achieved.
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: Much too early, although I do have mild cramps I usually associate with my period. My last pregnancy, I had cramps from ovulation and on, intermittently throughout my entire pregnancy.
GTKY: Not an event per se, but I would like to spend a day in the Old West. Husband has a man crash on Wild Bill Hickock, and every time any movie or TV show remotely dealing with the subject he insists on watching.
Fingers crossed for those testing today! Hope to see some inspiring BFP's!!
Cycle/month:6/5AL
I haven't been posting much because I have been so damn depressed.
CD/DPO:15/3
Timing:-5, -4, -2, -1, O, O+1 . I traveled with MH and DD#2 for his work trip this month so I made sure our timing was "high". We spent 5 nights in a hotel in Wooster, Ohio. It's not that different from where we live in MN. But nothing beats being home. I am a homebody and soooo happy to be home.
Testing plans: Next Fri @ 9dpo
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: This is the first cycle that we have had good timing since I started charting. I will be so let down if it this isn't our month. My depression seems to be better now that we actually have a chance this month.
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? (Witness only, not change in any way) Prob the signing of the Declaration of Independence

GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? (Witness only, not change in any way)

CD/DPO: 19/4
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing plans: next weekend?
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: my chart looks pretty good. i'm bummed that we missed O though. Stabby cramps last night while on the couch, but could be gas.

CD/DPO: 32/15 but most likely CD1
Timing: High
Testing plans: None
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: I had a little red CM last night and a big temp drop this morning. Just feeling like shit and waiting for my period now. I was really hopeful that this was our cycle. I should be used to this disappointment by now but I'm not. I just want a fucking baby.
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? (Witness only, not change in any way)
I'd like to witness Rosa Parks not giving up her bus seat and sticking it to The Man. FTW!
I hope you feel better @kdE2010!
@dmsmth - FX for you!
Cycle/month: 2
CD/DPO: 29/10
Timing: good

Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: eh same old same old.... @holly628 I hear ya... I'm so sick of waiting for both situations.
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? (Witness only, not change in any way) I really have no idea... I did terrible in history class

Cycle/month: 14 (3 AL)
CD/DPO: 23/3
Timing: Really good.
Testing plans: When AF is due. 17th or something like that.
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: Overly optimistic. Thinking "well, I want to make mojitoes now because I'm gonna get a positive test in a little over a week." *mentally slaps self* No. You have decent chances, but it's not THAT likely.
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? (Witness only, not change in any way) Any significant battle in the first Scottish war for independence.
I'm sorry for all the ladies who are feeling under the weather. It's not right to have a sinus infection in the summer!
Cycle 3
Cd 20/dpo 4
Timing: good!
Testing plans: first day AF is due I'm all over it
Rants and raves: does anyone have experience with digital opk? I don't know whether to trust my results or not. It's telling me I O a few days after my chart indicates and as a result has extended my cycle by 3 days longer than usual! I'm still breastfeeding and I'm unsure whether I ovulated late this cycle due to that ( my cycles have been off my one or two days since I started menstruating again) but if that is the case, I'm worried about timing. Ugh. I would love my cycle to normalize.
GTKY: ditto @elwing6284 I would love to party with the Druids at Stonehenge and figure out what that was all about. My family is from Wiltshire ( where SH is located) and I love the mystery of the place, it's very beautiful.
Cycle/month: 7
CD/DPO: 26/13
Timing: good
Testing plans: haven't tested again. Too scared. Probably tomorrow morning before work...
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: woke up around 4am throwing up, with HORRIFIC stomach cramps. I was in tears the pain was so awful. Went back to sleep with an unsettled stomach that's still bothering me. Had crazy dreams, specifically my mom, sister in law & I all pregnant, going to the hospital to deliver. I end up delivering my moms baby, then my aunt snatches him away and says "you'll have your own soon, so I get to hold him." So strange!!! Should have tested this morning, but I'm terrified to see another bfn. My lower back is killing me and feels super tight. I ate breakfast but it's not sitting well. My nips are super, super sore and tender. If this month isn't our month, I'm having DH commit me....
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? (Witness only, not change in any way)
Oh gosh...probably Martin Luther King Jr.'s I have a dream speech.
2 first trimester losses (2011, 2012)
Actively TTC since January 2014
Project RAINBOW
My Ovulation Chart
CD/DPO: 26/ either 1 or 2
Timing: My H had an insane week at work(great timing, right) so not good. Just -2 and O or -3 and -1
Testing plans: I would like to wait until 12 dpo but I have zero self control and I am sure my curiosity will get the best of me by 9dpo
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: can I get a chart stalk? I got 2 days of +opks. On the 2nd day, I had pretty significant O pains on my right side and very positive opk's where the test line was darker than the control. By the next morning, O pains were gone and my opk was -. I figured I had ovulated the day before. However, when I put in dummy temps, FF has me ovulating yesterday when I think it was the day before. Not a huge deal but what do you think?
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? (Witness only, not change in any way) I would probably just want to go back to 1900 when my house was built and see how they lived. I often wonder about the history of my home.
CD/DPO: 23/7
Timing: -2, -1
Testing plans: Next Saturday
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: No symptoms yet. Hubby and I are enjoying a nice relaxing weekend in Ogunquit right now though. I'm at the beach now
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be? - The launch (and then lunar landing) of Apollo 11
CD/DPO: 16/3
Testing plans: Waiting until missed period
Rants/raves/phantom symptoms: Nothing I feel normal. nothing to complain about.
GTKY: If you could go back and witness any one historical event, what would it be?
I would love to sit with my 9yo dad and watch the moon landing.
