Testing plans: FF says Thanksgiving (that's when I got my BFP for my DD)
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I got CH this morning, but they could be off. I stopped charting my other signs, except temp because I had a cold, DH got stitches, and I thought we were out for this cycle. We'll see!
GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be? Honestly, the Bible.
Testing plans: I tested yesterday since I planned on drinking last night and got a BFN...it was also way to early to test so I don't plan on testing again until 14dpo.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: My back was hurting bad yesterday and I seriously fell asleep at 9:30. I'm just going to take a break today and not do anything and let my body catch up.
GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Testing plans: missed AF, unless I break down sooner
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I don't know what's up with the temp spike on Friday or the EWCM. If I take them out I get solid CHs. Should I just leave it alone and see if FF gives me solid CH soon or discard that day?
GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be? My Friend Flicka by Mary O'Hara
@Squirrel2012 I can't see your chart, but personally I would leave it and see what happens in a couple days. My charts kind if messed up this cycle too. I got dotted crosshairs today and I'm going to see what happens in a couple days. My temps literally spiked and dropped every day for a week, so I'm not convinced I o'd when ff says I did.
Testing Plans: I think I'm hurt going to wait for AF. This is our first month TTC after CP in September and I'm just a ball of nerves and anxiety.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalk: My dirty pillows feel like they're going to fall off. Way too soon for AF symptoms, way too soon for me to start thinking I'm KTFU, I'm chalking this up to heavy lifting I did at work Friday. I just hate having sore tata's it's like the worst pain ever (in my opinion). And to make matters worse, I told DH this and he titty punched me!!! Seriously??!!!! My body has really been an A-hole the 2 months. (Insert sigh)
@mrsb30 - You would think with how often I mobile bump I could remember shit like "the chart in my siggy isn't seen by people on mobile." If you're interested in taking a look, here's the link:
Testing plans: Thanksgiving morning, if no temp drop
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Finally O'd yesterday (most likely). This is my longest cycle to date. I would have liked to add O or +1 to timing, but I'm sick and that just sounds like the least fun thing ever. Timing is pretty good as is.
GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be? I guess Harry Potter. There is an ebook that is the complete series, so I would take that one.
@Squirrel2012 I looked but I'm not sure. I'm sorry maybe some of the more experienced chart stalking ladies have some input? I like the advice somebody gave me a couple months ago 'when in doubt HIO!'
Hi, tentatively coming over here for the first time..
Month/cycle: 3/1
CD/DPO: 25/5 possibly
Timing: -2,-4,-5
Testing plans: maybe 10 or 12 DPO depending on temps
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: first real cycle temping after depo and I was traveling overseas so lots of open circles due to waking at different times. All temps taken after 5-8 hours of sleep. Unsure if I really O'd CD20, but I did have a small amount of EWCM that day. FF gave dotted CH this morning, so we will see.
GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be? The Diary of Anne Frank. I think it's important so that history doesn't repeat itself.
@econmama. The 22 looks right. You did have some elevated temps earlier, but not sustained. on the 23.. Your temp rises and then does not go back down.
@mrsb30 - You would think with how often I mobile bump I could remember shit like "the chart in my siggy isn't seen by people on mobile." If you're interested in taking a look, here's the link:
CD/DPO: 26/11 (guesswork here, since I wasn't temping yet)
Timing: O
Testing plans: Wednesday if no AF
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Had a lot of harsh cramping this morning but only for a few minutes. Could be AF approaching, could be the lentil soup I ate for dinner last night. Still tired as all hell, but I attribute that to this being my 7th workday in a row. One more day and then I blessedly have Tuesday and Wednesday off, and with DH too, which is a rarity.
GTKY: Definitely Harry Potter, if I could have the all 7 in 1 version that @SwivelChair5 mentioned.
@econmama I, too, agree with the 22nd As much as that sucks to see.
@FINEdoubleLINE Thanks. I'm going to go with my body is weird, the weather sucks right now (which has nothing to do with my body but I'm going with it), I'm only in my 4th cycle off BCP...
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I think I'm interpreting my CM wrong. I've read the link that has been posted but I think what I think is watery isn't actually which is why I now have dotted CHs instead of solid.
GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be? To Kill a Mockingbird
Testing plans: I'm hoping to hold out until next Friday.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: My boobs are sore. It means nothing except elevated progesterone. Otherwise, I'm feeling hopeful which is dangerous.
GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be? I don't want everyone to think I'm a religious nut, so I will just say it is a religious book.
TTC since Sept. 2013
09/14: New anterior 3cm Fibroid on U/S, no change in size 11/14
Well ladies, thanks for all your thoughts and crossed fingers.
Temp is still way up today but I woke up to spotting. CD 1 should be tomorrow perhaps for some more fuckery, later today. This one really hit hard so I may take a WTO/TWW break.
Good luck to all of you.
TTC #1 since May 2014 3 failed IUI cycles Oct '15 - IVF 1 - 10R, 3M, 0F Sept '16 - IVF - 12R, 11M, 5F and 3 perfect day 5 blasts - MMC 7w5d Jan '17 - FET 1 - BFP, EDD 10/14
Testing plans: I'm gonna wait until CD 30 because last month was hell.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I'm not entirely convinced I O'd when FF said I did but I trust it because the CM adds up but the temps are rocky.
GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be?: Harry potter all the way. I might have to pick Half-Blood Prince but they're all exquisite. I love how the majority of the responses here are either the bible or HP.
Testing plans: Possibly the day before Thanksgiving @ 14dpo
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I quit my part-time job yesterday. Well not really quit as much as gave my 5 week notice! Ha! Last day will be xmas eve (my choice). I having been brewing coffee for 9+ years and I will miss much of that job, but I am looking forward to the extra time with family!
GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be? The Giver by Lois Lowry. I read it when I was 11 and I still love it!
August '15 BMB December Siggy: Christmas Fails ME: 30, DH: 30 Love: 2/11/04 Marriage: 5/29/11 2 Cat Furbabies: Chloe and Zoey (2007) TTC #1: 6/1/14 BFP: 11/25/14 EDD: 8/5/15
Timing: every other day all month but I wasn't temping yet so I'm not sure when I ovulated for sure.
Testing plans: tested this morning. BFN. So I'm patiently waiting for my dip in temp and AF.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: it seems like everyone who doesn't want to get pregnant does and everyone who wants to has a hard time. Not talking about me personally since we just started trying but just a general observation.
GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Hmmm... I love reading so much. Not sure I could pick only one! That is so hard!
Testing plans: BFN this morning. That was a lot more disappointing than I thought it would be. Now I'm not touching a pregnancy test until next weekend if AF doesn't show up by then.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: just trying not to feel too bummed about the BFN, it's only our first cycle and I should've known better than to give in and test so early.
GTKY: ahh, how can I only pick one! There are so many books in the world and I have not read nearly enough of them to make an informed decision on this. If I could have a whole series, then Outlander, or at least the first three books.
@kasiaskis sorry for the BFN. I tested this am and was also very disappointed.
@MissesFroom congrats on putting in notice at your job!
Month/cycle: 3
CD/DPO: 23/11
Timing: EDD during FW
Testing Plans: I've already been a sucker-- BFNs.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I (obnoxiously) felt like I had ALL the possible pregnancy symptoms until two days ago. Now, I feel nothing, except annoyance with myself for getting all worked up.
GTKY: probably Pillars of the Earth or another epic tale. Oh, Ahab's Wife-- excellent long book that I could read over and over.
@wantababyinmeplz re:observing please know that all women here want to get pregnant. Regardless of the length of time. Just because some people get pregnant sooner, does not undermine their desire to have a baby.
Also, you might take into account that the people that get pregnant sooner than others leave this board. So it sways the sample data.
As for me- month/cd/DPO - 8m pp, FF can't make up its mind. I could be +10, +2 or no O. One book for life? Dang That is really hard. I'd almost not want one and just unlimited blank paper to make my own stories. But my all time favorite go to is Beauty by robin McKinley.
Testing plans: can't decide if I want to test tomorrow or just wait until Thursday when I would at least be 14 dpo.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: avoiding testing because I am nervous since it is my first cycle after loss. I would rather just see AF than a negative so I am avoiding testing.
GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be? Definitely the Bible.
I feel like I had a lot of sperm in me that week Testing plans: testing on Sunday, 11/23 if AF has not arrived
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I don't have any symptoms, I had some twinges a few days ago, but nothing anymore. Glad I have lots to distract me this week! GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. It has always been an absolute favorite. A close second is Persuasion... but really any of her books will keep me happy.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I'm at 13dpo, so the progesterone suppositories are doing their job! I'll be SO glad when I'm done with those nasty things!! Still no symptoms, though..
GTKY: If you could only have one book to read for the rest of your life, what would it be? The Bible

Testing plans: Gave in this morning...BFN. I know it's still too soon. I did this with my first pregnancy testing too early and being disappointed (forgot what that feels like). You think I'd learn!
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Not really sore boobs, but itchy boobs...which can certainly get awkward since I'm stuck at work. And definitely a little constipated (most likely from PNV's), was hoping the coffee would get things moving this morning.
GTKY: That's a really hard question. But probably a classic, Anne of Green Gables or just about anything by Jane Austen.

I temp orally. And I realize temping vaginally would probably result in less mountainous looking temps but I'm just not interested enough right now.
