Testing plans: Tomorrow...despite a single symptom. oh well, lets pee on all the sticks!
Rants/raves/symptoms: I have an AW Rave. Last night, DH and I kept talking bout how much we wanted a DQ dip cone, but neither of us wanted to leave the house to get them (DQ is 3 blocks from our house, we were just being SO lazy). Anyway, I was in bed, reading a book, and DH comes in the room and was like...Ugh, I can't stop thinking about that stupid cone. So I said "Let's go raise some hell" (When we first started dating in college, this is something I said to him, and at like 3am we went out to an all night place and got milkshakes..aka raising hell) So we jump in the car and I warn him to NOT get in a wreck cause I don't have on shoes or a bra, and we go. Sitting in the drive through line, we were talking about doing just this back in college and I said, "You know, we should really do this once a decade or so" and we bust out laughing. It was just one of those fun married things that took both our minds of this TTC craziness
GTKY: What is your favorite smell? Salty ocean water, reminds me of home
Rants/raves/symptoms: Practically as soon as I tested this morning I started spotting and have had some cramps since last night. Temp is dropping. CD1 is around the corner I'm sure.
GTKY: What is your favorite smell? I loooove clean laundry smell. Second might be fresh baked sticky buns.
Where is everyone? I know there is some testing going on today! FX for some BFPs up in this joint!!
I'm out - started spotting last night and temp dropped this morning. I'm not handling it well this time...Started crying in the shower this morning. I will have to find something fun to do today.
ETA: I love the smell of rain in the spring and summer especially. And the beach - that one is revitalizing for me
I used to be a bump regular 3 years ago while pregnant with my son. I have been lurking around here for the past three months as we have been trying to conceive our second. The TWW is KILLING me, and have had to stop myself from testing knowing even if I am pregnant it wouldn't show anything yet. I hope this will help distract me, and I hope you ladies will allow me to join you.
Cycle/month: 3
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: eod
Testing plans: Tuesday if I can hold out that long, most likely Monday
Rants/raves/symptoms: I had a little cramping yesterday which was prob nothing since its still do early for implantation...also feeling tired
GTKY: What is your favorite smell? I love the smell of the rain....that wet dirt smell in spring
Testing plans: caved and tested this morning .BFN.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Trying not to get to upset. It's still early. My temps have been lower the past few days, but I have been getting up earlier since yesterday.
GTKY: What is your favorite smell? Fresh baked cookies makes me think of grandma's house.
@nittanyllama big hugs to you. I understand about losing hope... I think that's why the tears today. Not sure which is worse - feeling numb or feeling all the feels.
I'm so glad I have you guys right now! Normally I would cry on my mom but we don't want anyone knowing we are TTC. If it weren't for the ladies here I would be losing it.
Cycle/month: I think I said 11 yesterday, but its really cycle 10
CD/DPO: 15/4
Timing: -3, -2
Testing plans: I am going to try and wait until 12 DPO, but im BSC so I will most likely test before that. Would anyone like to test with me?
Rants/raves/symptoms: I was nauseous this morning. But that is prob because of the diet I am on. I also think I have a cyst on my right ovary. Very frustrating, I get it just about every other month.
GTKY: What is your favorite smell? BACON
TTC # 1 since 11/2013 Hysteroscopy 10/28/14 - septum removed HSG 10/31/14 - All Clear!
Rants/raves/symptoms: I drank all the wine last night because I just knew I was out. Didn't wanna wonder anymore so just tested this morning. Just want AF to come so we can move on to the next cycle.
GTKY: What is your favorite smell? Definitely the salty ocean water.
Rants/raves/symptoms: Well my temp spiked up today so now I am officially on the crazy train. Pretty much the damn conductor. It took every bit of willpower I have to not POAS today. So glad I am with a group tomorrow testing or I would have caved today.
GTKY: What is your favorite smell? My house when I bake and certain perfumes that remind me of people. I have a thing with scents. They can trigger certain memories of people or events in my life. It's actually pretty cool.

@SpartanChick88 and @nittanyllama I am sorry about the BFN and losing hope. I am also so glad I have you guys to talk to about this stuff as MH is so sick of hearing about ovulation and cycles. I have briefly mentioned CM but that was crossing the line, lol! So today I am thankful that I found this board and all the pps on it!

@redheaded14 Aw I love that story! @nittanyllama@holly628 - I'm so sorry about the bfns. Drink lots of wine @SpartanChick88 - Sorry about CD1 @Momona1 - the drooling thing was my first pregnancy symptom when I was pregnant with my son! It lasted about a week. It was so weird and gross. Hopefully that means good things for you
Cycle/month: 3(1AL)/4
CD/DPO: 31/6
Timing: -3, -1
Testing plans: Probably Saturday at 8dpo bc I have no patience
Rants/raves/symptoms: So, I've been having a TON of creamy CM. I looked at my past charts bc it is odd and I had this with last last 2 bfp's. I am trying SO HARD to not read into this bc I am only 6dpo but it is so hard. I had a CP last cycle and everyone keeps telling me how "so and so I know had a CP and got pregnant the next cycle!" I also swear I feel dull cramping on my right side. I don't want to read into this bc it could very well just be a post-O symptom but I want this so badly. I feel like no matter how hard I try to rationalize that it is too early for symptoms, my hopefulness takes over. I am worried that I will feel horrible all over again if it is a BFN.
GTKY: What is your favorite smell? Hmm...my son. Is that weird? I constantly find myself sniffing him. He smells so good!
Testing plans: none but all the fingers crossed for everyone who is testing today!!!
Rants/raves/symptoms: pretty sure the spotting I had yesterday means AF will be here today or tomorrow (although one part of my brain said "oh! This might be IB!" which I know is rare and is basically just another way the universe fucks with my silly brain). I bought a basal thermometer and have been reading every word on the FF website so I can start temping!
GTKY: What is your favorite smell? Warm bread at subway! Yummy!
TTGP September Siggy Challenge - Teen Crush - Mark-Paul Gosselaar
Congratulations @MamatoAddi2010 !!! Hopefully you started what will be a string of bfps!
Best wishes for all those testing tomorrow/this weekend!
Cycle/month: 4/5 CD/DPO: 6 Timing: O day that's all maybe enough Testing plans: 14dpo unless I go crazy/have strong symptoms Rants/raves/symptoms: weird and low temps, sticky as hell cf it's gross Just this dang site and my computer were at battle, had to install Chrome to post, I couldn't post for a few days so talk about batty GTKY: What is your favorite smell? hard one... so many scents depending on mood. I love the smell of baby wash lavendar, Hot pizza, my dh, fresh cut grass, Coffee
Testing plans: to wait as long as I possibly can, had a CP last month
Rants/raves/symptoms: so excited to have found these boards, the TWW can make a person go crazy. I am looking forward to having company during this time when my brain doesn't stop thinking about getting PG.
GTKY: What is your favorite smell?@dmsmth same for me! I love the spring smell of lilacs. Never realized that until I moved into my house a few years ago, the entire perimeter of my yard is lilacs.
Congrats @AnnaTTCat32!! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!
Cycle/month: 3
CD/DPO: 12/28

DH enjoyed me waking him up to feel my boobs . Also, AW moment, today is my 5 year anniversary. I kind of want to put my wedding dress on and watch TV like they did on Friends lol
Testing plans: Sunday at 12 DPO or Tues like FF says
Rants/raves/symptoms: Twingy twinges down in my lower abdomen.. No idea if it's endo-related or what. I've also had some serious food cravings the past few days. That reminds me, I need to find some flaming hot Cheetos..

Testing plans: Hopefully I will make it to next
at least Friday
Rants/raves/symptoms: This is my first time joining
you in the TWW! Was exciting to see crosshairs on FF for the first time
yesterday! Just got back from a week with the in-laws. It was a great week but I
am glad to be home with my own bed. It is too soon
for symptom but of course I think I have them. Hopefully some back to school prep will help distract me!
GTKY: What is your favorite smell? The beach… makes me
