I didn't see this and I had a question

Cycle/Month:

CD/DPO:

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.:

Testing plans:

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be?

DaikokuJess · September 2014

Cycle/Month: 16

CD/DPO: 28/13

Testing: Not necessary

Timing: -5, -3

R/R/CS/etc.: Fuck my uterus. Huge temp drop today below cover line. Feels like my period will start any second, making today actually CD 1. My LP was consistently 18 days until last cycle when it was 14 and it looks like this cycle it will be 12. WTF?? I'm way more concerned about these changes than I am about not being KTFU.

GTKY: Green. I would be green.

kelley72 · September 2014

Cycle/Month: 5
CD/DPO: 11
Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: Yes! Question, dang I cannot believe I cannot figure this out, but I was messing around last week changing my tuning from Advanced to VIP and hit override. Now I have changed method back to Advanced but my ch's and coverline are blue and method says Override... How do I get it back to Advanced?
Testing plans: Well I'm a fool and tested yesterday, negative, ugh. May test again on cd14or may if I have unknown reserve of strength show up keep the test for future purposes.
GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? Green, kelly green to be exact, love greens, happy color, natural color, just love it

NarrativeBill · September 2014

I didn't see this and I had a question Cycle/Month: 2 CD/DPO: 50/26 (could be five. No more positive OPK's since then. (long ass story)

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: Testing plans: GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? Rainbow sparkle. The fancy kind. That comes with special paper. I thought this might be a 2ww question. While speaking to my mother she said she was not able to turn a HPT with my brother until almost two missed cycles. Her ultrasound matched pretty close to her due date. My question is (and if this is stupid, I apologize in advance) would this be something I could expect to happen to me?

ETA: I guess I thought I was a special snowflake, I chart in my head. I make notes in a journal of sorts. This is to the best of my recollection.

Cythe · September 2014

FINE. Looks like Cythe shall bring the cookies!

(you're so welcome all you progesterone filled ladies!)

NarrativeBill · September 2014

@Cythe‌ I would skip the lines for those cookies. Oh my. My mouth watered.

suzysurparis · September 2014

@cythe, sweet Jesus! My boss was just in my office eating chocolate, and she asked if I wanted any, and I hesitated for so long before saying no. You make me want to chase her down and change my answer.

Cycle/Month:6/7

CD/DPO: 32/11

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.:pimples, nightmares and a strong desire to drink.

Testing plans: yesterday: BFN; Friday if no AF by then.

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? Silver.

BillyHorrible · September 2014

@NarrativeBill - from what I understand anything that our mothers experienced has no bearing on us. So the fact my mother got pregnant when she looked at my dad shouldn't make me upset that I'm here on cycle 5. If you are one of the very very very very rare people that don't metabolize HCG in a way to turn a test, that's what the 60 days and see a doctor is for. If you don't have a period in 60 days, the doctors will probably do a pregnancy test before prescribing you anything to jumpstart CD 1.

Cycle/Month: 5/5

CD/DPO: 26/10

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: My chart is so weird, simply because it's so normal. This is the first cycle I have ever had (since 2009) where my temps in the TWW are so close (within a .3 degree range). It is the first cycle I have ever had (since 2009) where I haven't had any temp drops at or below the coverline. It's freaking me out a little.

Testing plans: Trying to hold out till Saturday.

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? Green is my favorite color, but I think if I were a crayon I would be purple.

kelley72 · September 2014

@NarrativeBill what @BillyHorrible said, and also hpt's are much more reliable than they were 20+years ago when they were fairly new to market.

Ant&Al2825 · September 2014

Cycle/month: 2/3

Cd/dpo: 22/7 dpo

Timing: -4, -3, 0

Symptoms/raves/rants: got a call from my doctor this morning with the results of my blood work. Had an appointment last week...just my yearly, and we discussed TTC. She was worried it's been almost 2 years with no birth control and no pregnancy. All my blood work was normal, including my thyroid levels (family history) but scheduled me an ultrasound for tomorrow afternoon and wants DH to do a SA. I'm a little worried.

GTKY: some shade of teal!

Hugs @CALEO‌

URMySunshine77 · September 2014

Good morning, ladies! I got up early today on Pacific time.

Thanks for starting the thread, @NarrativeBill.

@kelley72: I'm sorry that I don't have any advice for your FF question!

---------

Cycle/Month: 6/6

CD/DPO: CD23 / DPO7

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: I took my temp at three different times this morning, and they are were all really different. Two temps were taken with only two hours' sleep (I don't look at the clock when I wake up). So I used the third temp with the most sleep; however, I'm kind of annoyed that I don't have an accurate representation today. It's a small annoyance.

Testing plans: 10DPO

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? I would be a salmon red. That color always cheers me up.

danascullyx · September 2014

Cycle/Month: 4

CD/DPO: 22/8

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: .2 degree temp rise this morning has me hopeful. I need to stop that.

Testing plans: Trying to wait until Friday or Saturday. I have LP as short as 10 days, though, so may know sooner.

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? Turquoise. A night, bright turquoise. It makes me so happy.

jmgbaby · September 2014

Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD/DPO: 21/7

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: just waiting....

Testing plans: September 30th

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? My favorite color is green, but that seems so boring compared to "Beaver" or "Fuzzy Wuzzy". I would choose "Wisteria" for myself.

So many colors to choose from - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors

I knew I forgot to mention something. He just turned 10. They had me at 21 and him later after she had . Thanks though. I appreciate the feedback. I was curious :-)

silverandgray · September 2014

Finally, a day when I have both a computer and the time to participate in this!

Cycle/Month: 3/3

CD/DPO: 24/11 or 12
Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: This is the first month (out of seven charting) I've ever disagreed with FF's crosshairs, but it's only by one day so I don't suppose it's a big deal.
Testing plans: Tested Saturday (either 9 or 10 DPO) just because we had drinking plans - obviously BFN. Would like to test again Friday if I'm still waiting on a period, but my dad and his friend will be visiting and I might chicken out if they're already awake before I get up.
GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? Green, or maybe my old favorite from the Crayola box - cerulean.

CrazyCupcake52 · September 2014

@DaikokuJess - Sorry for the temp drop. A 12 day LP is still acceptable, if it gets any shorter I would start to worry.

@kelley72 - Find the Tuning/Override button under ovulation detector. There is a remove button under where you can set the override. Sorry about the BFN.

@NarrativeBill - The general rule is that your mother's pregnancies/fertility does not affect your own. Are you sure you ovulated? Do you chart?

@cynthe - That looks sooooo good. I have some cookie dough left in the fridge, may have to make the rest tonight!

@CALEO - Sorry about the negative digi. Did you test use a FRER too this morning? It may still be too early for a digi.

@suzysurparis - Sorry about the BFN yesterday.

Cycle/Month: 6 (4 AL)

CD/DPO: 33 / 13

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: Some brown spotting. Boobs aren't as tender but they are still full.

Testing plans: I got a faint positive this morning ladies!! I'm going to hang around here for the rest of the week. I'm a bit worried about a CP since I am spotting, FX this baby sticks!!

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? Blue-green! My favorite color

cateyes543 · September 2014

@daikokujess-I believe anything over 10 days is still considered fine, maybe it is just averaging out. Sorry your body is jacking with you!

@kelley72-go into analysis, go to ovulation override, take out the override and choose your setting. Clear the day and save to take it out.

@narrativebill-HPT tests were not as advanced 20+ years ago and your mom may have been the fluke case that does not get a positive HPT. This is very rare and her fertility has nothing to do with yours. Do you chart? I would bet there is no way you are 26 DPO and not getting a HPT. I also agree with @billyhorrible-wait 10 more days and see your doc!

@akovac4-if it has been 2 years, I would get any testing done with and RE (as well as treatments). Anything you do with your regular doc will probably need to be redone at an RE’s office and they specialize in reproductive issues.

kelley72 · September 2014

@CrazyCupcakes yay you solved my issue! Thanks! Also and most important, oh my goodness Ts for you! Hope this is a very healthy pregnancy! Brown spotting typically NBD! I know its worrisome, been there!

Thanks @Cateyes543 hitting the remove button worked! whew what a pain, just like seeing that solid red!

DaikokuJess · September 2014

@akovacs4 Good luck with your future testing. I also just had my thyroid cleared and H will do SA this week.

BlackNYellow · September 2014

Cycle/Month: 4

CD/DPO: 25/7

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: typical pms symptoms

Testing plans:trying to hold out for Sunday which would be 13 DPO but I might cave and test Friday. :P

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? Robin's egg blue!!

@CrazyCupcake52‌ congrats!! Fx for some darker tests as the week goes on!

BlackNYellow · September 2014

Double post. I blame it on Monday. Screw you Monday!

kayway85 · September 2014

I'm sorry @CALEO‌. I've definitely been there and it sucks. 11dpo is still early to test though. Unless you are temping and have a huge drop below coverline, I would test again in a couple of days.

Cycle 4

Cd 30/15dpo

Timing: good

Testing plans: another bfn this am

Rants and raves: I officially am "late" ff says af should be here any minute and I feel nothing. I'm was cranky a couple of days a go, and fully expected her to show today, but all my usual cd1 cramps/ crying at life insurance commercials, have not appeared. But now that I've got another bfn, I wish she would just show up. I have a feeling ff is just off by a day or two though. My cycles postpartum seem to be getting longer, which I don't love. Oh well, ready to try again next cycle. I'll hang around here until she shows up. GL everyone!

GTKY: I would be a pink crayon called, "truly outrageous"

Ant&Al2825 · September 2014

@cateyes543‌ @DaikokuJess‌ thank you for the support.

I'm currently looking for an RE. I don't want to go to extremes with testing as we've only been actively trying for 2 months. Id never heard about being concerned with just not preventing.

@CrazyCupcake52‌ FX that line gets darker!!

cateyes543 · September 2014

@akovacs4-If you have been having sex at least twice a week, even in NTNP I believe that counts toward total TTC time. But if you have not then those months wouldn't count. If you know you have not hit in your FW intentionally I wouldn't count those ether. An SA for your husband is not too invasive and may be covered under insurance but at this point (I missed the only TTC for 2 months part earlier) I would wait on further testing.

Thank you! I'm thinking based on lurking and your advice we'll go ahead with ultrasound and SA and wait it out until a year of active trying before going further. I definitely don't want to "borrow trouble" as some weeks in those 2 years were 3-4 days of BD but most maybe two times.

I appreciate your advice.

URMySunshine77 · September 2014

@CrazyCupcakes52: I'm excited for you! FX your lines get darker.

@kayway85: I hope that your weekend was OK. I know that your DH's trip was difficult. XO

imnotfancy · September 2014

I'm sorry about the CD 1s and BFNs @Caleo Going backwards sucks!@CrazyCupcake52 Ts&Ps that this one sticks for you!Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: 16/5

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: FF says I ovulated on CD 11. The past 2 months I O'd on CD 18 so it was a surprise to O on 11 this cycle… but I hate waiting so it feels like this cycle is going very quickly and that makes me happy. Only because our timing was still good. I've been hesitant on believing I already O'd and keep waiting for a temp drop, thinking CD 11 was a false O. This is the first cycle for vag temping and my chart looks waaaaay crazier than my last two with oral temping. Weird.

Also, my sister is currently at the hospital at 9 cm…. I'm so so happy for her and wish I was there with her. I know her L&D has no baring on my own but she made TTGP and pregnancy and labor look so easy. I'm an optimist so I'm using it as a sign of good things for me.

Testing plans: Past 2 cycles have had an 11 day LP. So I won't test until AF doesn't show.

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? A sparkly gold. Shiny things make me happy.

I missed that too. I agree that there's no reason to go further in testing yet since it hasn't been a year yet.

dmsmth · September 2014

Cycle/Month:3/3 CD/DPO:15dpo Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: spotting. Af should start tomorrow. Just pissy about because now we are getting into a hectic travel schedule the next 3 months and I am going to worry about missing our fertile window because we or dh will be oot. We are either going to "just" make it or miss it all together with dh being gone the whole week. Fml Testing plans: none GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? Green

kdE2010 · September 2014

Cycle/Month: 5/4

CD/DPO: 14/3 DPO

Timing: -2, +1

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: Since I ovulated earlier than ever before (11DPO), we did not have the best timing. TTC would be soooo much easier if we O'ed the same time every cycle, LOL!

Testing plans: I don't know... FF says Oct. 3.

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? Robin's Egg Blue

rebecca+matt · September 2014

Cycle/ Month: 3

CD/DPO: 10

Symptoms: I am flat out EXHAUSTED.
Is super klutziness a symptom? Because I knocked a full water bottle off the counter and gave my cat a heart attack.
raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: Cythe, WHY oh WHY did you tempt me with that delicious looking gif!!! I must have chocolate chip cookies now....

Testing plans: Test on Thursday, I have company coming in on Friday and I figure testing 1 day early will be ok...fingers crossed!!!!

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? Candy apple red

Timing: -5,-4,-2,-1,O

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: extremely tired...oh wait that may be related to the 3 twelve hour night shifts this weekend

Testing plans: 14 dpo

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be?
Shocking pink

ETA timing

GHStarfish · September 2014

Cycle/Month: 5

CD/DPO:36/7

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: Not much going on. Can’t wait to get rid of this thermometer. Third day of the same temp today… at least I saw the shift.

Testing plans: maybe Thursday?

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? I would be granny Smith Apple green or screamin’ Green! Love the different names. Thanks for sharing @jmbaby

@crazycupcake52 FX for darker lines!

@imnotfancy Your dogs are so cute!

@penelopemaria‌ Did your test get darker this am?

Yes it did - what about you?

bjdealerok · September 2014

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 18/4 (my first CH ever!)

Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1, +1

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: Um, I feel like I can't sleep as well when my temperature is up since I didn't sleep well CDs 1-4 or today, but the inverse whenever I don't sleep well, it also goes up (CDs 11&16). You can stalk my chart below, if you want, I'm not sure it's that interesting this month.

Testing plans: Try to wait for 12 DPO, minimum, but I know I probably won't make it that far.

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? This. A marbled crayon because I can never make up my mind:

(edit: not testing on CD 12!)

mosdub · September 2014

Cycle/Month: 5

CD/DPO: 21/2

Symptoms, raves, rants, chart stalks etc.: Pretty sure I could skip temping and just predict my O based on when my left boob hurts. It has matched up with the temp change errytime.

GTKY: If you were a crayon what color would you be? Avocado Green
