Re: **TWW Friday**
CD/DPO: 29/13
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Testing Plans: Tested yesterday at 12dpo for drinking purposes - BFN. I'm sure AF will be here tomorrow at the latest..
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm about to be on month 6. This kind of kills me a bit. I really thought I'd be pregnant. My metabolic clinic said that their protocol is to send everyone off for testing by this time so I'm unsure how I feel about that. My anxiety (generalized) is also out of control so I'm unsure what to do...it's never been this bad.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season? I love decorating and the holiday spirit in general. I hate how the holidays can bring out the worst in people (ie: trampling someone to get the omgz best deal ever on a tv, etc.)
edited because I can't count apparently.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I woke up this morning not feeling so hot. Well actually I was really hot. Felt gross. And now I have cramps? I don't know. I feel really off today. So sad that it is making me hopeful!
GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season? I just love planning all the fun activities and festive wear for the girls and such. But I hate that the pull to do more more more can make the season stressful. Trying to find balance so we can truly enjoy the fun of the season!

CD/DPO: 24/13
Timing: Scored high according to FF
Testing Plans: Sunday, at 15dpo
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I saw this morning that FF detected a possible triphasic pattern, so now I've got all kinds of false hopes.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season? Love decorating the house, listening to Christmas music, and doing lots of holiday festivities. Hate the crowded streets and stores.
CD/DPO: 23/3
Timing: -2, -1, +1
Testing Plans: next Saturday
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I actually got a solid nights sleep last night which never happens but my temp came down from yesterday and I thought it'd go up. Yesterday's temp could have been falsely high bc I woke up a lot during the night. I did get cross hairs today tho chart stalks please!

GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season? My favorite is decorating! I love Christmas decorations! My least favorite...trying to coordinate with everyone. Not only do I have my moms side and my dads side to see but also SO's parents and my DD's fathers side. It can be challenging!

...I'm thinking of chatting with my doctor or starting acupuncture. I know I don't want meds as this point since we are ttc so it's not a good time to start them, but maybe a therapist...Ugh.

I'm also thinking of removing Facebook because I've begun to have a difficult time with pregnancy announcements, of which there seem to be 2-3 a week lately.
I think a therapist is in order. My anxiety gets worse every time I think it may be affecting me getting pregnant as well. The more I try to fix it on my own, the worse it gets. Sigh.

Timing:
? Not sure about what to put here...
Testing Plans:
prob Dec 9 if AF is a no show
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks:
Happy that Thanksgiving is over and I can just chill and eat leftovers
GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season?
The stress of trying to buy presents for my kids without spoiling them.
CD/DPO: 16/5
Timing: good
Testing Plans: 12 DPO
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: been feeling so lazy and unmotivated lately! My house is a mess and I have been slacking on working out. Got to try to get motivated again!
GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season? I hate stressful shopping! I always say I won't wait till the last minute but every year I do.
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0, 1
Testing Plans: I'm mad at myself for testing yesterday morning because I thought it would be great to find out on Thanksgiving and of course, if I could have a drink or not. Typical BFN. I'll hold out until my period is supposed to come now.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: All I have to say is TTC can get really depressing around the holidays when the entire family is asking why we aren't we having kids yet. I just keep telling them we're waiting a little while.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season?
Favorite thing is definitely the delicious food. Least favorite is having to deal with the dysfunction of my family sometimes, but thankful I have a family to be dysfunctional with lol.
TTC #1 since 2013
IUI #2 1/16 TWW....
Timing is where you put days you had sex in relation to ovulation. -5 is five days prior to ovulation and -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, O and +1 (one day after ovulation) are all considered viable days. Some people wright good, bad, etc and others write EOD if it's every other day they had sex

CD/DPO: 23/3
Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1
Testing Plans: None before 12 DP0
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: My chart was pretty this month, but this morning I woke up to a super low temperature, which freaked me out, enter the 2WW BSC thoughts...
GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season? The commercialism and greed! So much entitlement, and plastic toys, I can't...
And if I could, I'd recommend looking for either a psychologist or licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). The licensing is a bit different in each state (the credential letters might be different) but that's the highest level of practitioner, it requires a certain amount of experience and licensing exams. Good luck to you!
Hope that line keeps getting darker and stays that way @MoonandBack141! FX for you as well @aeryfaery!
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: -2, -1
Testing Plans: tomorrow
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: my temps the last couple of days have just been useleless, I think. DH is having an attack of gout and has been waking me up. I'm not sure how long my LP is at this point so I'm just going to test at 12 dpo and wait it out. Totes expecting a bfn.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season?
Food, yes. Taking down decorations, no. Christmas isn't really my schtick though. I'm not that serious about it. I like Thanksgiving and new year's more.
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -4, -2, -1, O, +1
Testing Plans: Tested yesterday 9dpo and BFN. No plans to test again.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I've been very randomly spotting. So I'm thinking this means I'm out and I'll be getting my period tomorrow. I'm really praying that it's just implantation and this could still be our cycle. If not I'll be calling to set up stuff with an RE as December will mark month 12 for us.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season? I love all the decorations/music/general feel. I hate feeling like I have to buy presents for everyone. DH's family always does these big presents so I tend to resent having to spend that much.
CD/DPO: 28/9
Timing: -3, -1, O
Testing Plans: I wanted to wait, but today I have been super nauseous on and off so of course I got my hopes up (if I'm getting symptoms I should be able to turn a positive pee stick..... BFN) Blah.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Just mad at myself for testing so early. Af isn't even due until next Wednesday/Thursday
GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season? My favorite thing is buying gifts for everyone I love... My least favourite thing are mall crowds
Cycle/Month: 3/3
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: high
Testing Plans: BFN this morning. Not surprised at 9dpo. Will test again on Sunday.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: AF is due tomorrow. I would be happy if she held out even if I am not pregnant just so I don't have a 9 day luteal phase again. I've been having some cramping for the past two days so I really think she is coming though.
GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season? Favorite thing is seeing the joy it brings the kids. The lights, the magic of santa, family time, presents. They are so excited for it all.
I'm excited to get some help on this. For whatever reason my anxiety has been so elevated the past 6 months or so and it really is affecting my life at this point. To think it's affecting TTC as well is extra hard and compounds the stress I feel.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm just really nervous. I don't know how I'm going to deal with another BFN. I don't know why I'm having such bad anxiety right now. Have to put on my big girl panties, I guess!
GTKY: What is your favorite thing/least favorite thing about the holiday season? My favorite is being with my mom and sister, my least favorite is seeing my dad, because he doesn't talk to me or acknowledge my existence, mainly due to my past. He holds a lot of grudges and it is awkward.
