  • Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 18/6

    Timing: -5, O

    Testing Plans: late AF. Me being out of town next week for work will help with will power

    Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: none

    GTKY - if nothing was holding you back, what is one skill you would want to learn? Tough question....i would love to have the knowledge and skills to become a fantastic cook or chef. I'm seriously challenged in this area unless I have a recipe to follow and I follow it word for word. DH can just throw a bunch of things in a pot with no meal in mind and it tastes wonderful.

  • Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 32/14

    Timing: -5, -2, +1

    Testing Plans:
    I tested this morning... BFN. Guess I'm out this month. Af will be making her appearance tomorrow.

    Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm really upset that this month didn't go well for us. Next month, my dh will be away hunting for a week, and it is looking like he will be gone the full week leading up to O and not getting home until the day after O. I will still use OPK's to make sure, but it is looking like we won't be able to try again until December. :(

    GTKY - if nothing was holding you back, what is one skill you would want to learn?
    I would love to learn sign language. I know a few signs, but I would love to know much more.

     

  • Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: (This is my first 2ww post so I'm still figuring this stuff out... sorry. All I know is I'm late on AF

    Timing: none at this time

    Testing Plans: tomorrow morning

    Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: seriously what I thought where Signs of PMS and cramping.

    GTKY - if nothing was holding you back, what is one skill you would want to learn? Painting like my mother who recently past.

    So how did I do for my first 2ww?
  • @whenweawake‌ welcome! So sorry for your loss. Are you temping to be able to pinpoint your cycle days and ovulation?

  • Sorry I didn't intro myself, I'm new! Been watching for a few months waiting for DH to be ready so this is Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 22/8 (I think based on cm mostly)

    Timing: day before and o

    Testing Plans: caved and did a test yesterday and today (bfn obviously) will now try to hold out until Sunday!

    Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks:
    Lots of symptoms, maybe all in my head, very bad heartburn before/after eating nausea in the morning and evening, irritable and lots of creamy cm. DH says nipples are darker but I'm not sure I agree!

    GTKY - if nothing was holding you back, what is one skill you would want to learn?
    Professional wedding planning! Maybe a maternity leave project?
    EDD 13 AUG 15
  • @mrsbsharp‌ welcome to you as well! I highly recommend temping and chatting. It's much more reliable than CM alone. Best of luck!

    GTKY - if nothing was holding you back, what is one skill you would want to learn? sign language, I am so impressed with those that know how to sign, I'd love to learn and use it professionally @mustloveerica  Wow!  I wrote mine out before reading others... it is an amazing skill/ language isn't it? ok it must be inspiring to a lot more people than I thought... @melco19
    @whenwewake  you did great, timing refers to either a general statement about your intercourse timing ex. great, good, fair, poor and/or actual days of intercourse during fertile period ex. -5, -4, -3, etc referring to how many days before Ovulation you had intercourse, O day, +1 day after O
    You're late already and haven't tested?  Have you been charting bbt to confirm O?

    So how did I do for my first 2ww?

    @whenweawake‌ Timing refers to how well-timed sex was during your fertile window (5 days before ovulation, the day of O, and the day after O). Some people list the days (in the format -5, -4, -2, O, O+1), some sum it up in with an adjective (good, great, etc.), and some say ED or EOD (every day/every other day). I hope this helps! :)

    Also, I'm sorry for the loss of your mom. My mother passed away about seven years ago, so I know what you're going through. ((Hugs))

  • @kelley72 I'm super inspired by sign language. But for me it's practicality. DH has a genetic disorder and it's very likely our children will be hearing impaired and perhaps even deaf as well. I want to be able to communicate with my children and to communicate better with my husband. Sign language classes are definitely on my bucket list.

    I'm not at this moment. Just going on a prayer. I'm 3 months off the pill so I will probably start doing that soon.

    Lmao I thought it ment temping. Concidering I put none at this time it make it kind of funny in my eye if it means intercourse. I guess that wouldn't help me get pregnant know would it lol. Thanks for the information I feel so silly.
  • Month/Cycle: 6/5

    CD/DPO: 30/11

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

    Testing Plans: BFN this morning.

    Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: sore boobs, cramping, and the worst acne I've had in my life.

    GTKY - if nothing was holding you back, what is one skill you would want to learn? I'd like to learn how to drive a manual transmission vehicle. My dad tried to teach me once, but it didn't quite "click" at the time, so I stuck with automatics.

    I tested about a week ago with a BFN. I have not been charting yet. I'm really new to this.
  • Month/Cycle: 5 (3AL)

    CD/DPO: 23/5

    Timing: -4 -3 -2 O

    Testing Plans: 12DPO

    Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm getting super antsy about testing. I'm normally fairly zen during the TWW, but because this might be our last chance til next spring, I'm super anxious.

    GTKY - I want to learn how to poll dance. Like really frickin cool, acrobatic, athletic poll dancing.
  • Month/Cycle: 5

    CD/DPO: CD30/ 11DPO

    Timing: I think good.

    Testing Plans: Tested yesterday BFN. If no AF by Friday, test again.

    Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I had spotting yesterday so I fully expected to wake up to my period this morning, my leutal phase is usually 11-12 days without meds but nothing. No symptoms either. Afraid I am going to have to jump start my period this time to get going on this next cycle which just sucks. Going to wait until after the weekend and confirmation from my doctor to take provera.

    GTKY - if nothing was holding you back, what is one skill you would want to learn? Learn another language. I didn't take it seriously in high school but would love to be able to speak a different language now.

    GTKY - if nothing was holding you back, what is one skill you would want to learn? Photography. I was in a class when I was pregnant with my first but had to drop it because 1st Tri was a bitch.

  • Month/Cycle - 2/2

    CD/ DPO - 32/13

    Timing - Basically every other day.

    Testing Plans - I've tested everyday since 9 DPO and all BFNs. I suspect AF's arrival is imminent.

    Symptoms/ Rants/ Raves/ Chart Stalks - No symptoms. I am doing my best to stay positive about no being succesful this cycle, but its really getting me down.

    GTKY - If nothing were holding you back, what is one skill you would learn? The ability to speak a couple foreign languages. I would love to be fluent in spanish, french, arabic and chinese. How awesome would that be!!

  • @mustloveerica‌ you are only 6dpo. Implantation more than likely hasn't occured yet. Don't get down about lack of symptoms. This is an anecdote but I had exactly ZERO symptoms when I was pregnant with my twins.

    Do not board the crazy train and remember, you're not out until af shows her whore face.

  • congrats @carbsovereverything!!

    Sorry for the BFNs, ladies. I'm going to try and hold out on testing until AF is due as I find BFNs so demoralizing. They put me in a mood i can not shake sometimes.

    CD:25/4 dpo

    cycle: 5

    Timing: Good! -5,-4,-2,-1 (X2), O, O+1

    Testing Plans: None.

    rants and raves: nothing much. DS is sick so we have had to cancel some Halloween plans which I was excited about. Oh well, what are you going to do? Kids get sick. On the plus side, I have been getting a lot of snuggles. Hopefully he feels better by Fri.

    GTKY: play the guitar. I've always wanted to learn.
  • YES. This is exactly what I need today! I love this forum!

    *I participated in WTO Tuesday...I can do this one, too, right? Right. 

    Right?


    Month/Cycle: 2

    CD/DPO: 23

    Timing: Covered our bases!

    Testing Plans: Last night I squinted really hard and thought I saw the shadow a line, but we're going to go with BFN because I can't trust that at all. Bought more tests and I'm making myself wait until tomorrow night. And that's the last test I'll give myself before AF.

    Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm annoyed with myself for breaking down and testing last night because I've been assuming that I'm not pg this whole 2WW and now in the 11th hour I'm like, "D'OH BOY! I MIGHT BE!" With absolutely no symptoms. Dumb. 

    GTKY - if nothing was holding you back, what is one skill you would want to learn? 
    Probably either realistic sketching or painting. I love drawing, but all I can do are cartoony people.

    Testing Plans: None at the moment

    Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: FF is unsure if it wants to take my O day away. I'm not convinced I actually ovulated when it says I did.

    GTKY: I'm going to agree with people above and say photography. My H got me a really nice camera but I don't really know how to use it.

  • Month/Cycle: 2/3

    CD/DPO: 1

    Timing: Not good enough

    Testing Plans: Yeah, totally took my first test yesterday as I was tied for my longest cycle ever (among other things). AF took that as her cue to show up overnight. Doing a lot better that last time though. I’m kinda looking forward to charting this cycle, with a goal to actually get CH this month. It’s like a challenge! (gees, you can tell I haven't been doing this long).

    GTKY: Basket weaving would fun. Ditto on all the languages including signing.

    Off to WTO for me. @carbsovereverything FX for you!

    @kate5all you can participate in whatever threads you want, but I am confused how you were in WTO on Tuesday but today far enough along in your TWW to test? Maybe I'm reading your comments wrong!

    Sometimes FF takes forever to give you CH and then people end up in TWW when they're really halfway thru TWW. But I'm not sure she's temping and would even know that. I'm just saying, it CAN happen.

  • Congrats to you guys too @ajetter‌ and @carbsovereverything‌ !!!!!
  • Sorry to all of those who have gotten BFN's :(

    @whenweawake, welcome to TWW and best of luck!  I would definitely suggest following the advice of PP's.

    FX this is your lucky cycle @jags8 & @ajetter!

    A huge congrats to @carbsovereverything for your BFP!!

    Month/Cycle: 4/3

    CD/DPO: 16/3

    Timing: -2, -1, O

    Testing Plans: AF is predicted the 11/9.  I am going to try to hold out until then.

    Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I am nervous going into this cycle.  I have experienced both a sharp BBT drop letting me know that it wasn't our lucky month, as well as, high temps with no drop before AF.  I was even a day late which prompted my hopes to soar only to be dashed when AF arrived without warning.  My thought is to go into this TWW staying as possible as possible, not over analyzing every fluctuation of temperatures and not reading into every little twinge I feel.

    GTKY - if nothing was holding you back, what is one skill you would want to learn? I would go to school to drive my passion for culinary arts.  Second, would be delving further into weight lifting and fitness training.

  • @mustloveerica‌-don't feel discouraged by not having symptoms yet, they wouldn't mean anything anyways. Implantation doesn't take place until usually 6 to 9 days DPO so anything before that is just wishful thinking. @mrsbsharp‌-I would suggest tracking more than just CM, you can have fertile CM any time in your cycle and so it is not very reliable. @ajetter‌-fx crossed for you! Congrats on the BFPs @ajetter‌, @carbsovereverything‌, and @jgrace82‌!

  • Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD/DPO: 18/3

    Timing: high

    Testing Plans: Not for a while

    Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Nada. Just happy for a high temp today and to see a Sunday O confirmed on FF. That meant our timing was very good.

    GTKY - if nothing was holding you back, what is one skill you would want to learn? Probably guitar. I wish I stuck with music when I was younger because I think I would really enjoy it as a hobby. Also, for all of you that say photography and have a nice camera but don't know how to use it, go take a beginners class at your local community college! It's not hard to learn the basics if you have a good instructor and it is a really fun hobby!

  • Big congrats to all the BFPs! It's been a great week for the board! :)

    Month/Cycle: 4

    CD/DPO: 20/6

    Timing: -4, O

    Testing Plans: Next week sometime

    Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Still way too early for anything to be showing up, just waiting.

    GTKY - If nothing was holding you back, what is one skill you would want to learn? I speak some Spanish but I'd love to master it. And my mom's family are all quilters but I've never figured out that one, either. But my first thought was cooking-- I'd love to take a few classes or even go to culinary school!
