TWW Tuesday

ajetter · November 2014

Some people in my household don't believe in sleep. So I thought I'd get us started...

Month/cycle:

CD/DPO:

Timing:

Testing plans:

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks:

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side?

ajetter · November 2014

Month/cycle: 5 / 4(1AL)

CD/DPO: 21 / 5

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

Testing plans: Dec 1st @ 11DPO

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Last night I was a little queasy while laying in bed. For a brief second I was symptom spotting, and then I mentally slapped myself upside the head and went to sleep. Thought I could avoid boarding the crazy train so early!

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? This question was pretty selfish as I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to take, but DH's aunt makes the most amazing sweet potato casserole. I'm sure it has a million calories, but it is SO GOOD.

bouncinsol · November 2014

Month/cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 21/10

Timing: Excellent

Testing plans: The Saturday or Sunday after Thanksgiving around when my period is due

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Eh, I ranted about my temperature being whacked out this month, but I'm hashing it up to how I've been sick and not sleeping well.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? Mashed potatoes. All the mashed potatoes. With gravy.

wvarn · November 2014

Month/cycle: Cycle #6

CD/DPO: 20/7

Timing: -1 O only

Testing plans: Going to try to hold out until 12 dpo or 14 dpo. but I will probably start before then if it goes like last cycle.

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I'm so frustrated with my short luteal phase. I'm planning on going to a Dr after this cycle to get my hormones tested. There are no RE even close to where I live, so I think I'm going to try to get in with the high risk OB that I know that specializes in fertility. I know she does IUI and and IVF so I'm hoping she is as good as a RE.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? I like macaroni salad made with homemade ranch dressing.

mouse315 · November 2014

Thanks for starting @ajetter - I needed an early morning 'get the crazies out'

Month/cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 28/10

Timing: I ran out of ways to say this when FF changed O date for me, and I liked the first one better.

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I've got a ticket for the crazy train / 2 packs of wondfos for the way.... Yeah...so I've had every pre-period symptom ever, but not even spotting yet, which is weird. Usually I just get tired a couple days before, start and THEN cramp. I've been lightly cramping for two days now. Trying to convince myself it's no different then my usual cramping. I'm angry and weepy and if my fate is CD1, then just show up already! Of course, I didn't temp this morning which isn't helping. I was not even expecting to be on TTW today. I swear TTC has screwed up my cycles!

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? The carbs. Brown & Serve rolls, banana bread, and cinnamon swirl bread.

mustloveerica · November 2014

Month/cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 20/5

Timing: -1,-2,-4 not so good.

Testing plans: waiting out my period this cycle. So December 6th according to FF.

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: FF keeps moving my crosshairs. It seems to have settled on one day but now our timing sucks. Oh well. I don't seem to be as optimistic this cycle. Haven't been symptom spotting or analyzing my chart at all yet.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? Mashed potatoes made with sour cream, cream cheese, and butter yummmmmm.

melco19 · November 2014

Month/cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 25/6

Timing: -3, -1, O

Testing plans: planning to wait until af shows up

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: my twmperatures have been pretty crazy lately

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side?
I am a stuffing fan and eat way too much hahha

mrsb30 · November 2014

Good morning!

@wvarn -1 and I is good timing!

Month/cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 29/11

Timing: -3, -1, +1

Testing plans: I broke down and tested last night and got a squinter! DH saw the line too, but thinks it's too early to believe it. I think I'm going to take a digi, it's so hard to believe it could be true.

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks:

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? Stuffing!

ajetter · November 2014

@Trickyjedi completely unrelated to your actually TWW post, I just LOLed at your siggy gif. This has been by far my favorite siggy challenge. I get a good laugh almost everyday.

@mrsb30 hope that squinter keeps getting darker for you, congrats!!

carolinagirl67 · November 2014

Month/cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 29/12

Timing: O, +1

Testing plans: Thanksgiving

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I FINALLY got crosshairs today. FF says I O'ed a day later than I originally thought.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? Homemade Mashed potatoes, oh oh or Deviled eggs. Yum!

amichelle723 · November 2014

@wvarn have you looked into ways to naturally increase your LP? I don't have it with me, but I've read in "Fertility: Cycles and Nutrition" about certain non-medication related methods to lengthen LP. I can't remember all the specifics (I was convinced I had a short LP a few years ago) but I believe B vitamins were the main focus. There was also a whole section on eliminating night-time light exposure (alarm clocks, electronics) that sounded kinda hokey, but I went ahead and covered up the cable box light and turned around my alarm clock. Like I said, it sounds silly but I figured what the heck!

Month/cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 19/4

Timing: -3, -1, +1

Testing plans: None

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: After a temp drop below the coverline this morning, along with the up and down temps earlier in the cycle, I think I've finally decided to start temping vaginally next cycle. Hopefully that will help get some consistency.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? I make this delicious sweet potato casserole that is definitely my favorite!

cowplanet · November 2014

I think today's the day I'll be moving over to WTO.

Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 28 or 27/12
Timing: -5, 0
Testing Plans: I caved yesterday and tested with a FRER. BFN. Had a bit of spotting yesterday that's most likely early Aunt Flo. If she doesn't knock down my door, I'll test on Thanksgiving.
Rants: Pretty sure I'm out. Husband was finally asking questions about how "all of this works" :-O last night, so I started explaining things using real words instead of euphemisms (like calling the cervix the gate) and offered to bring one of pregnancy textbooks home from work ... and he pretty much shut be down and said "you're ready too much baby stuff." Yep, he likes sex and wants to make a baby, but we better not use any of those science terms. :-<

Edited to add: Favorite appetizer? Can it be PIE?!

JennyLynn6785 · November 2014

Congrats @mrsb30‌! FX your squinter keeps getting darker!

Lurker out.

Edit: Spelling hurts.

llw42614 · November 2014

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 25/5

Timing: -4, -3, -2, +1

Testing Plans: Trying to hold out as long as possible.. I keep stalking the other ladies on 5DPO and using them to reign myself in.

Rants/Raves: I almost feel like its a disadvantage to be so in tune with my body.. Now I notice EVERYTHING! Trying hard to not get run over by the crazy train.

I had a really funky cramp yesterday evening in my side and I must have made a face.. Hubby asked what was wrong and I told him & his reply was.. "sweet, maybe you are knocked up!" Of course, I know thats not what the cramp was, but it was cute that DH seems to be getting excited & hopeful.

GTKY: Definitely stuffing!! Hubby's fav is Green Bean Casserole so I make that for him every year & I have become pretty fond of it too.

coaster102516 · November 2014

Month/cycle: 6

CD/DPO: CD28/ 11 DPO

Timing: -3, -2, -1 & O

Testing plans: Caved last night and I got a squinter. I swear I got a squinter this morning but I may be having line eyes. Hoping it is not just residual from ovidrel shot but I tested that out and had a clear negative Saturday. Re-testing tomorrow.

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Come on tests! I need clearer answers! Can I drink or not on Thanksgiving?!

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? Squash, sweet potatoes or green bean casserole. Yum.

Rooskie87 · November 2014

Month/cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: -5,-2,+1

Testing plans: maybe Friday or Saturday if I'm still in.

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I'm just happy that I haven't started spotting yet.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? I love dressing if it is done right. Chicken and dumplings, Mac n cheese or my cousins corn casserole are runners up.

terraignota · November 2014

Hey we're just NTNP right now and I'm new round here. Just wanted to get the hang of participating and this TWW format so I'm throwing my info in even though it's not very scientifical yet.

Month/cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 24/8 (estimated, not charting right now)

Timing: Fair

Testing plans: No plans to test unless my body gives me a reason and projected CD1 has passed.

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: No real rants. Feeling pretty calm today.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? Cornbread dressing! Mine is already made, in the freezer waiting to be eaten Thurday!

mrsb30 CaitOst21 congrats on the squinters. Good Luck

wvarn · November 2014

@missdaisy925‌ this is only my 2nd cycle temping so I'm trying not to freak out about the short LP but it is hard not to worry. I work night shift so sometimes if I get woke up to early <3houtprs of sleep I don't temp. I'm trying to do better about sleep but night shift sucks. @mrsb30‌ congrats on squinted I hope it keeps getting darker. @AMichelle23‌ thanks I wonder if me working nights and sleep during the day could affect it? I have my windows blacked out but some light makes it in under my door.

JennyLynn6785 · November 2014

Congrats @mj0011‌!

carabassa27 · November 2014

@CaitOst21 @mrsb30 Fingers crossed the lines get darker!

ETA: Congrats! @mj0011

Month/cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 21/6

Timing: O-2, O

Testing plans: Dec. 1st, at 12dpo

R/R/C: Nothing to see here.

GTKY: I guess it's a condiment, but whole cranberry sauce. I most look forward to eating the turkey with cranberry sauce. And mashed potatoes.

mouse315 · November 2014

In no particular order:

Congrats @mrsb30 and @mj0011!

FX for @CaitOst21

@Carolinagirl67 yay for CH

hugs to @wowcheezits I feel for you. Don't you just hate it when people screw up something simple?

@missdaisy925 Thanks! Searching TB didn't help matters this morning. Now I am trying not to get my hopes up.I have to stop at the $ store tonight anyway, which I have been putting off. You know I'm gonna buy a couple tests if I still don't have any sign of my period. It worked last month to start it after a longer cycle!

llw42614 · November 2014

Congrats @mrsb30‌ and @mj0011‌ !

FX for @CaitOst21‌!

Also FX for ladies testing soon.. Hope there is more than turkeys in the oven for Thanksgiving!

bfonz619 · November 2014

@mrsb30 & @caitost21, Hope those squinters become obvious positives!

Congratulations @mj0011!!

Month/cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 18/5

Timing: -2, -1, O AI

Testing plans: 12/4

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I am already PMS symptom spotting due to irritability.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? Stuffing and gravy

kelley72 · November 2014

Congrats @mj001 and best wishes for big bad +s for those with light and Very Hopeful for all of you testing at or on Thanksgiving!

me just hanging here until af, I'll test about 12dpo Dec.4th or so, not trusting ff this go round and I am contemplating not temping next cycle.

Thanksgiving app: No.. give me the real deal please, dark meat Turkey with bite of dressing, mashed potatoes and tiny cranberry squished together!

amorcito27 · November 2014

Month/cycle: 5

CD/DPO: 38/9

Timing: Good or bad depending on when O really was. I was traveling between time zones when I likely O'd. FF was telling me I O'd when my CM was sticky, so I think it was a couple days before when I clearly had EWCM. Who knows!

Testing plans: Probably on Thursday just to make sure I can have wine. I feel like even if I get a BFN, I won't drink just in case then I will be upset with myself when I get AF and realize I could have had a drink!

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: Longest cycle ever, but happy that temps are finally staying up. Was worried I wasn't going to O this month. I have sore boobs, but that may be because I had to take a few days off lifting weights while I was traveling. Trying not to read into it.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? Sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream! YUM!

ETA: @mrsb30 & @CaitOst21 - FX for squinters to get darker/ Congrats @mj0011

whenweawake · November 2014

Month/cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 26/ 14

Timing: eod

Testing plans: I tested this morning on 14 dpo. BFN. Yes my heart it broken. I expect AF tomorrow.

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I'm just really sad about my BFN.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? Stuffing and my mom's cream cheese mash potatoes.

JennyLynn6785 · November 2014

FX that squinter gets darker @CaitOst21‌. And ((hugs)) for @whenweawake‌

llw42614 · November 2014

@whenweawake‌ - sorry for the BFN.. Big Internet Hugs for you!

Venessa88 · November 2014

Month/cycle: 8/9

CD/DPO: 19/5

Timing: EOD

Testing plans: none at this time.

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I am tired today, all thanks to not being able to fall asleep at a reasonable hour last night. Lots and lots of coffee for me today.

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? Hmm this tough and I would have to say I love all of the sides and appetizers, but can I count all the wonderful beverages I drink during this time as an appetizer? I think so! Fancy beverages it is!

bracingourselves · November 2014

FX to @CaitOst21 and @mrsb30! Congrats and H&H to @mj0011!

Month/cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 25/8

Timing: -2, -1

Testing plans: Saturday

R/R/C: Bloaty mcbloat bloat over here. I feel like a blimp no matter how much water I chug. Does anyone happen to have any natural remedies that are any good?

GTKY: I have two epic recipes - one for sage sausage and mushroom stuffing, the other for cranberry relish. I've never found anything to match those.

ajetter · November 2014

@CaitOst21 hope that possible squinter turns in to a real line!!

And congrats @mj0011!

ajetter · November 2014

@bracingourselves care to share that stuffing recipe? sounds amazing!

@bracingourselves care to share that stuffing recipe? sounds amazing!

TBH, I mostly eyeball it. You need:

1 roll jimmy dean sage sausage

1 package of whole wheat herb bread stuffing

celery (maybe 2 stalks or so)

white onion (about half of one)

about 1 cup chopped mushrooms

salt + pepper

chicken or vegetable stock (as much as stuffing directions call for)

fresh italian parsley

jalapeno tabasco - this is important. I skipped it once and it just wasn't the same

ETA: fresh garlic. duh.

Cook up the veggies and sausage (add mushrooms last), put tabasco in stock, throw in bread stuffing (cook per directions).

I have some slightly more precise measurements hanging around for posterity, but I can't access it until I fix my laptop. I don't really overthink it.

bcollins236 · November 2014

Cd/dpo : 32/13

Timing: new to all this but If every other day for the week before and week after is good then we did great! Haha!

Testing plans: took one Saturday ( too early but couldn't resist) another today bfn. Still aiming for that Bfp due to current symptoms and zero sign of af. Trying again Sunday.

Rant/Rave: my head is killing me the cramps I've had for 2.5 weeks are for the birds along with everything else going on. No af means I'm still in the game though...

GTKY: I love stuffing and pie!!!

bfonz619 · November 2014

bracingourselves, Cardio always works for me when water just isn't cutting it. Nothing major, just a solid 20-30 minutes usually does the trick. Bloat sucks, I hope you feel better.

schup156 · November 2014

Month/cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 34/ 19 or 12 (I'm leaning towards 12)

Timing: Great

Testing plans: Took one today....and I got a squinter! Plan on testing again in the morning and in a few days with a digital because I'm the type that needs to triple check things! (and I already have the tests)

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I took a break from posting yesterday because I was feeling very frustrated with my body and confused about when I could have ovulated etc. I decided my brain needed a rest from bumping and googling every possible scenario I could think up. I almost refrained from testing today because I really didn't want to see another BFN, but we're leaving town in a little bit for family get-together's. I didn't want to consume a bunch of drinks if I shouldn't or feel silly for not drinking if I could. I'm so glad I decided to test for once! My stay at TWW seemed like an eternity, but I know was actually super short. I just want you all to know how much it's meant to be able to vent, I will be keeping each and everyone of you in my thoughts and prayers!

GTKY: What is your favorite Thanksgiving appetizer or side? I love mashed potatoes and stuffing! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and I'm super excited to be able to enjoy 3 different celebrations!

bfonz619 · November 2014

@schup156, Congrats!

JennyLynn6785 · November 2014

FX for that squinter to get darker! @schup156‌
