Re: TWW--MONDAY EDITION
CD/DPO: 24/12
Timing: all FW days
Testing plans: another BFN today
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: My temp spiked again this morning, but it did last month before AF. I'm having my tell-tale AF signs too: Neck and base of head aches. Bummed.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why?
I really like my hand sander right now because we're currently laying down concrete-ish countertops (and a shit-ton of sanding is required).
Month/cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 21/3
Timing: -3, -1
Testing plans: none right now
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: ff changed my crosshairs and is giving me dotted crosshairs for o on cd 18.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why?
Month/cycle: 14
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: -3, 0, +1
Testing plans: If I can wait it out until Friday, it would be a Thanksgiving miracle
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: My boobs hurt. It means nothing. Otherwise, feeling dangerously hopeful.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? I don't have one.
CD/DPO: 29/15
Timing: eod
Testing plans: Tested again this morn... BFN
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: AF is supposed to show up today and I hope she does so I can move on to the next cycle.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? Sander because its hard to screw that up haha
Month/cycle: 3/1
CD/DPO: 26/6
Timing: -5,-4,-2
Testing plans: Friday or Saturday (10/11 DPO) depending on temps
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: boobs slightly tender, cramping a bit, all I'm thinking is this could be a sign of increased progesterone confirming I probably O'd.. I'm still not convinced.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? The power drill is the only one I really use to hang things in the house.
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: -5
Testing plans: waiting for AF - pretty sure im out this round
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: none

ummmmm no answer for this one
Hysteroscopy 10/28/14 - septum removed
HSG 10/31/14 - All Clear!
CD/DPO: 27/11
Timing: -4,-2,-1,+1
Testing plans: None until 14DPO
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: None right now. Pissed at myself that I tested early on Saturday.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why?
I like the screw driver. It makes the job quicker? I don't know.
Month/cycle: 6/7
CD/DPO: 20/4
Timing: -4, -2
Testing plans: Thanksgiving if I'm not spotting before
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I wish we had sex closer to O, but it just didn't work out.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why?
Would my KitchenAid mixer count???
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: 0
Testing plans: Was dumb again this morning and BFN, you think after the BFN yesterday I could have held off for at least a few days, ugh!
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I'm driving myself nuts and this is our first cycle TTC after Mirena removal so I'm not sure why I'm torturing myself. I've had all of the same feelings I did early in my first pregnancy (heartburn, cramping, sensitive boobs) so I've just convinced myself I must be pregnant, which makes me insane I know. I absolutely lack any patience. (Thanks for letting me vent!)
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? Love the chop saw.....it makes me feel like a pro carpenter, but it's actually pretty idiot proof.
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: -4, -1, +1
Testing plans: got a superrrrrr squinter on Friday, a line DH could see on Saturday, and pretty great lines yesterday! No BFP on a digi yet, but definite positives on FRERs and wondfos.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I'm so excited but I'm so so scared. I go to the bathroom roughly every five minutes to check for spotting. Dr. Google has scared the shit out of me. We weren't going to tell my parents, but my mom thought I was being a bitch for turning my nose up at a tuna sandwich (my fave!). They live around the corner and there's no way I could've hidden it. I also wanted them to know because I felt like I need a little extra support with all this anxiety. Poor DH shouldn't have to deal with this alone.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? My jigsaw - you can do 90% of any woodworking projects with just a jigsaw and they are only about $50. My favorite kitchen tools are my crockpot and immersion blender because they make me look like I can cook like Julia Child while requiring minimal skill, time, effort.
Thank you to everyone on the TTGP board for your knowledge, snark, and fun times. Best advice I got: temp from day one and don't be a baby about doing it vaginally.
@WafflesFriendsWork Congrats!
Month/cycle
CD/DPO: 20/4
Timing: -3, 0
Testing plans: Not sure...FF is estimating AF arrival on CD31, my cycles are usually 27-28 days, my longest in the last 3 years has been 29 days. I have my annual appointment on 12/1 though, so probably then if I haven't done it before
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I GOT CH!! @wowcheezits don't you just want to sit and stare at them? After 3 cycles of temping, I finally got some useable data and I'm strangely very excited about that.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? We are always backwards. I love our Kitchen Aid mixer but DH uses it more than I do! Between the 2lb bread loaves with little effort, home style mashed potatoes, shredded chicken, and all the cookie dough, that thing gets used a lot. I'm usually the one with the cordless drill/screwdriver in my hand.
ETA: comments on stuff I didn't see while I was posting.

Me 34 DH 33
TTC #1
Hypothyroid
CD/DPO: CD20/ 3 DPO
Timing: I think Great! Wishing we also got +1 but I was so exhausted. -3,-2, -1 & O
Testing plans: Going to try to wait until 13-14 DPO to make sure Ovidrel shot is out of my system. Going to be hard.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Nothing other than that time seems to be going SLOW this round. Can it be next week already?!
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? Ummm I really love my kitchen aid mixer and I am good with a hammer.
Natural BFP Feb 2017. DD born Oct. 2017
Natural BFP Aug. 2019, EDD April 2020
CD/DPO: 28/12
Timing: -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1
Testing plans: BFNs at 8 and 10 dpo...don't want to test again until 14 dpo (unless AF shows)
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: none
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? The only power tool I've used is a cordless drill, so we'll go with that.
CD/DPO: CD 31, 7 DPO
Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, O, +1. Pretty darn good
Testing plans: I might cave at 10DPO. My LPs have been a little on the short side (9 days or less), so I may end up getting AF before I get to 10DPO to test.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: FF is predicting CD1 tomorrow based on date from previous cycles. Not quite sure what to make of that. I'm anxious to find out if AF is coming or if I have a BFP this week because I'm going out of town to visit family for Thanksgiving. It'll be nice to know if I need to pack tampons or not...I'm also not convinced FF has my CHs correct. I think I ovulated on CD26. This discrepancy could also cause further confusion when trying to figure out my LP this cycle.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? I'm with @CaitOst21 - my kitchenaid mixer. I love that thing, I don't know how I ever baked before I had one!
Cycle/month: 3/6
CD/DPO: 58/6
Timing: -4, -2, O
Testing: The internet cheapies that came with my opks are mocking me from under the sink.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I FINALLY got a positive opk, ewcm, HSO CP, and a temp shift to happen. The heavens opened, choirs of angels sang, and FF gave me solid CH. It only took three obscenely long cycles with iffy ovulation to get here.
GTKY: The lathe is my favorite. It's pretty badass, and fun to use.
My Chart
Month/cycle: 7
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: -2 and O
Testing plans: none. Waiting on AF.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: my mind is preparing itself to see spotting on 10DPO, which is Wednesday.
GTKY: If we can include kitchen tools, I'm going with my crockpot.
Me (29) DH (29)

Month/cycle: 5/4
CD/DPO: 29/10
Timing: -3 -2 -1
Testing plans: I think Friday, only if my temp is still up. It should be dropping any day now my LP is usually 10-12 days.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I'm still trying to process a lot of emotions after losing my friend.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? Chainsaw, because who doesn't feel like a badass mofo using one.

July15 Siggy Challenge: Favorite holiday movie. Bad Santa!
@ugotstarbucked I love power tools also-- I want them all!
ETA-- @DeerNHeadlights I hope you start healing soon. That is so hard and I'm very sorry.
Also, I just tried out a chainsaw for the first time to make decorations for my wedding. I was really nervous, but loved it! Definitely makes you feel like a badass mofo
CD/DPO: 29/7
Timing: -1
Testing plans: None.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Today might actually be CD1 of my next cycle. I've had dark brown spotting on and off since CD23, and today it's borderline for whether it's an actual period...we'll see how the rest of the day goes. I'm fairly certain I ovulated on CD22 (FF says CD20 but I don't agree with it), so if today actually is CD1, that's a pretty damn short luteal phase.
What is your favorite power tool, and why?: Cordless drill/with hammer drill setting. Closely followed by my cordless skilsaw.
My Ovulation Chart
CD/DPO: 27/9
Timing: -2 and O
Testing plans: today... BFP! Ok so its a squinty squinter on a wondfo... I stupidly dumped my fmu before I pulled out the FRER, so now I am waiting and holding it in to test with that to confirm. But its an obvious enough line!
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: My boobs are so heavy and sore right now, and as awful as they hurt... I've not been this excited for achey boobs before! And I am stinking tired.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? Does a sewing machine count??? LOL
ETA-- congratulations!!!

Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,O
Testing plans: Not for a long time, or until baby comes out
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Just feeling anxious as this is our first cycle back since a CP and with that one, I didn't test until after period was due, so I am anxious and will not test early at all.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? My Kitchen Aid mixer!
Congrats @wafflesfriendswork & @jellicalparker !
Month/Cycle: Month 9
CD/DPO: 46/14
Timing: -4
Testing Plans: I guess mid week if AF isn't here?
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I expected to see AF when I woke up today. However, she is not here yet and I am not cramping yet either. I'm super frustrated because I don't want this cycle to be another insanely long one. And I had such hope with temping this cycle that I would actually know what is going on. And I still don't. I feel like it was a waste.
GTKY: I like any and all kitchen tools. Real power tools I stay away from, they scare me.

TTC #1 since 2.14
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: -3, -1, O, +1
Testing plans: I tested today at 8DPO and got a BFN, I'll probably keep testing everyday until AF because I have a bunch of wondfos.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: None.
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why?
CD/DPO: 21/6
Timing: -5, -3 & -1
Testing plans: I'm going to try and take FF's lead and wait until Sunday, we'll see how that goes.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: All I'm going to say is FF needs a choice of bitchy for mood. Bad just isn't cutting it right now.
GTKY: My KitchenAid mixer. It's maybe 5 years old and I've already had to have it fixed because I use it so much.

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: none
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? I really enjoy my coffee maker... does that count lol.
Month/cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 25/9 or 10
Timing: every day during the FW plus some
Testing plans: I've mentally given myself permission to start blowing through a couple cheap tests starting in the morning. I've showed much better-than-usual restraint already and my expectations are set low.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I went to a baby shower yesterday and it actually didn't make me sad like I might have expected. My attitude has made a 180 this cycle and I feel so much more sane as a result. I've held strong on my resolve not to symptom spot so I'm happy about that!
GTKY: What is your favorite power tool, and why? I think my sewing machine. I've only had it for a couple months but I've already put it to good use! I'm sure my dog was thrilled with the Halloween costume I made her
