CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: -4. blah
Testing plans: None!
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: soooo friggin irritable and I'm gettin' reaaal sick of the sore boobs.

Me: 27 DH: 30
Married: August 31, 2012
CD/DPO: 29/7
Timing: O-5 and O
Testing plans: Can't lie, I'm sure I'll dip a cheapie tomorrow morning. Saving a FRER for Monday at 10DPO.
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: I had a pretty big temp spike this morning, not sure what it means on it's own so we'll wait and see.
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others?
I used to LOVE Young House Love, but since she had her 2nd baby they've really slacked off. I also used to follow Hungry Runner Girl but her life is kinda boring & Skinny Runner, but she stopped blogging. Looking for some recommendations!
DH - 27
TTC #1 since July 2014
CD/DPO: 24/7
Timing: -2,-1,+1
Testing plans: 7 more days if no AF
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Going to the OB today for blood work to get my progesterone, prolactin, and thyroid hormone levels tested. Not really sure how I feel about it yet, but information is good.
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? I always recommend thesmallthingsblog.com for hair and makeup. And I read Jezebel religiously, but that's a ton of blogs all on one website I guess.
Thanks for starting @bosco213.
@allisong1187, I'm right there with you on the shitty timing. FX for you it won't matter.
Cycle/month: 3
CD/DPO: 21/3
Timing: -5 and -4.
Testing plans: Waiting out for AF.
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Pretty upset with the timing for this month, but couldn't do anything about it with the UTI. That's what I get for attempting ED sex (even with peeing afterwards!) Wondering if anyone has had any luck with such crap timing (although I know this question is pointless).
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? None really, have been into the houzz and apartment therapy website though for decorating ideas. Love this question, though!

ETA: @Jamesy - that's awesome!! Im a Disney nut but wasn't sure if anyone else was so I didn't include them, but I follow the Disney Food Blog, Disney Photography Blog & Disney Tourist Blog. Can't get enough!
DH - 27
TTC #1 since July 2014
CD/DPO: 26/13
Timing: -3, -2, O
Testing plans: I cheated on the Saturday group. Was up to pee 3x last night and saw the squintiest squinter this morning, same as last night. Have FRER for tomorrow morning, will probably grab a digital too.
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: This cycle has been the biggest mindfuck ever with the huge temp drop and spotting/cramping 2 days ago. I don't know what to think.
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? I contribute to a Disney blog and podcast! www.dolewhipped.com

@holliberry28 and @allisong1187 FX that your timing was good enough!
@virginiaorjohn GL at the Dr!
Cycle/month:
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: hopefully good enough!
Testing plans: Probably 14DPO - got too much going on next week to really test any earlier
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Nothing really to complain about
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? Nah...I'm like @Laurenlou83 and tend to just look at TB, FB, and maybe look for some recipes (which always sound delicious and i really want to make but don't ever seem to get around making most of them)

@Jamesy - FX you see a darker line tomorrow!
@JustinsLovo - hope you can stay strong! It's sooooo tempting to test early!
Cycle/month: 3
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: good
Testing plans: next Friday
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: had 3 day of lower temps, but someone mentioned yesterday that melatonin (which I was taking those nights to help me sleep) can lower your temp, so last night I skipped it and grabbed another blanket bc DH steal the covers and sure enough, temp this morning was back up above Mondays temp. Mystery solved! Also, sore BBs continue, cramps yesterday and this morning.
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? My local yarn shop has a cool blog that I read because she talks about any new yarn they are carrying and knit-a-longs. Probably not interesting to anyone else here!
Thanks for starting, @bosco213!
Cycle/month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 20/5
Timing: Good
Testing plans: If I'm having some lasting symptoms, I'll test at 11DPO; otherwise, I'll wait until 14DPO if Aunt Flow doesn't show.
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: boobs are slightly sore and I've peed more than usual this morning. I was quite moody last night, too, but it's still way too soon to call them pregnancy symptoms.
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? I don't really follow blogs, but I can recommend https://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/. The writer doesn't update very often anymore (she has a book out), but go through the archives. I've almost peed myself from laughing too hard.

BFP: 10/16/14 EDD: 6/21/15
CD/DPO: 24/6
Timing: -5, -2, O, +1
Testing plans: 12 DPO
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: I'm getting really annoyed by the dreams. I have dreamt that i was doing a surrogacy, I was miscarrying again, and last night's was that AF showed up.
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? I'm not a blog reader. I will occasionally find a good one to read once, then I move on.
Cycle/month: 2/4
CD/DPO: 52/3
Timing: good; O-4, -2, -1
Testing: not unless AF doesn't show; I peed on enough sticks when FF and I were fighting.
Rants/raves/symptoms: while I am SUPER happy that I ovulated, I'm a little freaked out that it was even LATER than last cycle (CD 46, WTF?). At this rate I will have only ovulated twice in four months. Boo.
GTKY: I used to write a blog, but it was becoming a serious time-suck. I read The Pioneer Woman. Love her.
My Chart
CD/DPO: CD 24/DPO 5
Timing: -1,+1,+3
Testing plans: Not until Tuesday or Wednesday. But I'm going crazy waiting!!
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Today, I started light spotting. I'm slightly worried since it seems a little soon to start spotting but I'm hopeful that it's a good sign! From what I read, I shouldn't start spotting for a few more days... Is it bad to start spotting this early?! I haven't had an appetite all week but that might be the nerves from waiting. How do you people handle this?!!
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? I am a professional Nanny for a living so there are a few I follow and read up on for suggestions and ideas for work
3/11/14
CD/DPO: 21/5
Timing: -2, +1
Testing plans: if my period is late
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: FF changed my O date to CD16 this morning (instead of CD13 as it originally guessed). I'm actually ok with it since my timing was the same for both O dates and now I won't have my period at the wedding I'm in next weekend. Yay!
GTKY - Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others?: I'm really loving Shanty2Chic right now. My husband and I built floating shelves in our den based on their directions and they came out awesome. Now I want to build more stuff!
ETA: Also, get many hobbies. Also, wine. That's how I deal with the stress of TTC and particularly, the TWW. Right now, I'm working on a complete decluttering of my house, next project is a queen-sized quilt. Haha
3/11/14
CD/DPO: CD23/somewhere between 4 and 10 DPO
TTC#1 since May 2012. Low AMH, High FSH.
Factor II (Prothrombin) Mutation
TTGP Award Best PIP 2013 & 2014
My Chart
CD/DPO: 12 dpo
Timing: -2, -1, +1
Testing plans: I caved and tested last night - BFP! The line was light but no squinting necessary. DH doesn't think it's positive until the line is darker so I'll test again on Sunday and hopefully then I'll get the big smiles and hugs
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Absent minded and very crampy with slightly sore boobs. Slightly different symptoms than with DD.
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? Nope, just this one.
Married to K on 1/14/2012
Daughter P born on 6/14/2013
Baby #2 due on 5/16/15
CD/DPO: 18/2... I think, FF hasn't give me CH yet, but I think they will appear after tomorrow
Timing: -2, -1, O
Testing plans: Probably at 10 DPO, so Saturday 9/13
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: None yet
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? I don't really read any blogs... I am interested to see what everyone says to this, maybe I will find some to read!
Cycle/month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 17/3 according to FF, but I think it’s drunk, and I’m actually 2DPO.
Timing: O, O+1 if FF is right - blah. -1, O if I’m right.
Testing plans: None.
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Nada.
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? Honest Toddler, Mommy Shorts for funnies, the Kitchn for recipes, Smart Bitches Trashy Books for book reviews, Jen Hatmaker and Momastery for inspiration and good feels. I’m also with @3houlagirl on the Pioneer Woman for recipes. Plus she’s actually really funny.

Cycle/month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: -2,-1,0,+1, +2
Testing plans: Trying to wait it out for AF but may cave and test Tueday AM (I have my annual at my Gyno that day anyways).
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: DH is really starting to get on my nerves. Every day he's like can you test, you should test, when can you test, I bet you're KTFU. I keep trying to explain to him that it can take awhile to happen even if neither of us has any fertility issues but he just doesn't comprehend. He thinks BAM cause we want it we will def get preggo right away. He has 2 sisters who have 5 kids between them and one got knocked up on accident both times at a young age and the other used some cheapo fertility app and got knocked up right away 3 times. I don't think he gets that it doesn't work that way for everyone. Sorry rant over.
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? I mostly stumble upon a blog looking for a recipe but I do love https://www.papernstitchblog.com/ for DIY/Craft projects.

TTC #1 August 2014
CD/DPO: 38/14
Timing: good
Testing plans: none, I finally started spotting today so it looks like I will be headed back to W2O, maybe next month
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: A little sad to see spotting, but on to the next month!
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? I used to read Waiter Rant many years ago. Once he became a writer, I stopped, because it became more about his tours/book signings than being a server. I was a server for many years so his stories were very relate-able. Now I follow food blogs - Skinnytaste is my favorite!
@rufus426 I have never made a recipe from Skinnytaste that I didn't like. A few of them are on regular rotation at our house! Yum!
My Chart
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, O, +1
Testing plans: AF is due Sunday, so probably tonight or tomorrow
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: it feels like all of them- cramping, spotting, bleeding gums, boobs are huge and sore, peeing all day long, super tired
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? Because my work blocks just about everything besides our own site, not really, just TB, which I can sneak on my phone. Occasionally I'll run across good ones looking for new recipes, but nothing outstanding enough to return to everyday...
Thanks for starting @bosco213 I love the GTKY question. Also, please tell me your SN is a Seinfeld reference?
Cycle/month: 4ish
CD/DPO: 24/3
Timing: -3, -1
Testing plans: Probably not until 14 DPO. I went through too many pee sticks last month
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: I got my CH today and I am just really excited. I feel like our timing was good and I am also glad to know that I most likely did ovulate (as opposd to having an annovulatory cycle) because of the noticeable shift in temperature. This is my first month temping consistently after getting off BCP so I was never sure before of if/when I ovulated. Last cycle was 45 days and I was going crazy because I didn't temp and I started testing at 30 days when I was probably actually ovulating at that point...so we totally missed our actual window. So, today I am feel optimistic, but a little anxious, because there is nothing more I can do at this point except wait.
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? Sally's Baking Addiction is the best blog for baking!
ETA: I googled, I don't think I've seen that episode!
DH - 27
TTC #1 since July 2014
CD/DPO:25/10
Timing:Good
Testing plans: Saturday
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Oh what do you know...still have a mind fetus...but, now it is mixed in with feelings that I am going to start my period. What lovely games my brain plays. Not cool brain, not cool.
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? Anything and everything fitness related! I usually stick with FB pages though. I also have my own, which is a great way to keep my mind busy. www.facebook.com/angelaslosingbattle
****DS born 08/18/2015****Baby squishy due 08/03/2015****
Cycle/month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: good, sex 3 days before O, day before O, and day after O
Testing plans: I like peeing on sticks so I will probably start 10dpo. I got a positive at 9dpo so it can happen
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: none yet, excites but scared since this is the first month ttc.
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others? Nope
CD/DPO: Maybe 6 DPO, maybe still waiting.
Timing: *whines* I don't KNOOOOOW! (Two times per window.)
Testing plans: If I don't get a positive OPK by Tuesday, I will test.
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: On the 30th and 31st, I had fairly nasty cramps. On the 1st and 2nd, I spotted. I'm guessing I ovulated on the 31st. I wasn't using OPKs as I wasn't expecting to ovulate until this weekend or after. (Yes, I could chart and avoid the uncertainty of the odd unpredictable cycle.)
GTKY: Do you have any blogs that you follow/recommend to others?
Oh it's a classic! I had actually never heard of Bosco until I saw that episode so every time I see it in the stores (for those who don't know, it's chocolate syrup or sauce or something) I think of it. Now your SN has two special meanings.
Is the bleeding enough to need a pad or tampon? I think that would be your indicator, though I've never had a CP. I'm not sure if this is right, but my suggestion would be to take another test tomorrow or the next day and see if it's still positive.
Some doctors want you to skip a cycle after a CP, some don't. I'm not sure what the reasoning is for when or why they want you to avoid for a cycle, so I would bring it to your OBs attention.
