Rants/Raves/Etc: AF is due tomorrow, but I'm not having any signs of it's impending doom yet. Boobs are sore, but that's about it. Normally by now I'm spotting and cramping. I've got nothing. No AF signs and a BFN. Dumb body. WTF.
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? Summer camp because we're adorable like that. I couldn't even tell you when we met. We were both campers there for years and both were on staff for a loooong time. We worked together for a few years as friends before getting together summer of 2008 and we've been inseparable ever since.
Testing Plans: Probably on Monday at 10DPO (LP is only 10 days) 1/2 way there! Rants/Raves/Etc: rave is that my stuffed nose is pretty much gone. rant is that my throat is now killing me - definitely a better deal though lol
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet. He was friends with my older brother - we met when we played on my brother's baseball team together in a tournament at the local summer festival. He got deployed 4 weeks later but we got together when he got back the following summer
@cnf2013 - sorry for the BFN. Fingers crossed that you are not out this month!
Cycle/Month: 13 CD/DPO: 21/11 Timing: -2
Testing Plans: none, I started spotting on Sunday Rants/Raves/Etc: The appt with the RE yesterday went really well. They figured out a way to code our appt to the insurance company, so that yesterday's appt, CD3 bloodwork, and an ultrasound will be covered. They also said DH could have an SA done by his PCP, so it is covered by insurance and they will accept the results. The doctor was really nice and I am really happy to feel like we are on our way to figuring out why this hasn't happened yet. GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We worked together at Friendly's when I was in college. I was a server and he was kitchen manager.
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We met at a WHL hockey game. He was a friend of my little sister. We're both fairly shy so she "made" him ask for my number. We started texting... I asked him on a date and here we are almost 5 years later.
@cnf2013 I love that you met your H at summer camp. That's so sweet! Thanks for starting, and sorry about your BFN this morning.
Cycle/Month: 5/5 CD/DPO: 23/8 Timing: -4, -2, O
Testing Plans: I'm not sure. Maybe Saturday morning at 11 dpo, if it isn't obvious that my period is its way by then. I don't have anything cheap in the house to pee on this time around, only FRER's, and there's no way I'm wasting those. I won't have a chance to get to the dollar store til Friday. I'm sort of glad it worked this way, or I'm sure I'd be testing tomorrow, too early. Rants/Raves/Etc: Well, I thought I was probably out after my temp dip yesterday morning, but it shot back up this morning. So who knows? GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? The story we tell everyone is that we met at a nearby brewery we both frequented. The real story will never be told!
@rufus426 I'm glad you had a good experience at the RE and the insurance thing worked out!
Cycle/Month: 5
CD/DPO: 18/5 FF changed my O day
Timing: now terrible! -4
Testing Plans: not till AF is due
Rants/Raves/Etc: I am mad FF moved my cross hairs... now timing is terrible and my hope for this cycle went way down. I know I am still not out till AF but we shall see.
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? Mutual friend, his friend attended my college and DH was visiting him and we met when he was visiting.
Rants/Raves/Etc: I just don't think this was our month. My chart is the prettiest it's ever been and I know it doesn't mean crap. I'm expecting my period this weekend when I go to visit my family
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? Marching band in college. And yes, we hear "this one time at band camp" ALL the time.
BFP #1 11/26/2012, EDD 8/7/2013, Elise Anne born 8/1/2013
Rants/Raves/Etc: My boobs aren't as sore this morning as they were yesterday so that's nice I don't have to walk around holding them all day. I'm getting close to when I tested last month and saw my squinter. It's making me really nervous because I want to test early but I don't want to see something and then have it end like it did last month. It's a total emotional roller coaster. I've been going back and forth trying to decide if testing on 13dpo would be better. I think that's what I might end up doing.
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?
One of my sorority sisters grew up with him and introduced us my senior year of college. I had just gotten out of a really bad relationship so I was in know state to date. So after meeting him one night out with a group of friends, I decided that it wouldn't be so bad to talk to him and hang out. After a couple of group get togethers, he asked me out to dinner and it was all done from then on.
@cnf2013 Thanks so much for this GTKY - this is actually one of my favorite questions to ask couples!
@alexkylee Our LOs have the same birthday! Were you on the July 2013 bump board as well?
Cycle/Month: 5/4 CD/DPO: 23/9 Timing: Good
Testing Plans: This Sat if no AF by then, but not optimistic as temps have plummeted 4 days in a row. Rants/Raves/Etc: GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? At a mutual friend's housewarming/leap year day party on Feb. 29, 2008. I saw this tall, nerdy drink of water enter the party and thought he was so cute! I cornered him and the rest ... is history!
Testing Plans: I was silly and tested yesterday afternoon. Obv BFN. I reached for a test this morning but was able to stop myself. I'll test Sat or Sun morning.
Rants/Raves/Etc: Well, that whole testing at 5 DPO is pretty crazy. I've been a little more emotional than usual. I get a little weepy & extremely bitchy 2-3 days before AF. This it's much earlier than usual.
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We worked together at a music store. He was the boss, we dated on the DL for a couple of months before I got a new job. We later found out that everyone knew. oh well!
@cnf2013 sorry for the BFN. @cabgirl we're almost on the same schedule.
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: Great
Testing Plans: Desperately trying to wait until Sunday but I might give in Saturday morning.
Rants/Raves/Etc: So excited my chart has never been this beautiful or had such sustained high temperatures! And we finally found a house last night, we're putting an offer today!!
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? At college orientation. We met on the first day and have been inseparable for the last 10 1/2 years.
Testing Plans: Saturday Rants/Raves/Etc: I'm pretty sure I'm out. My temps have been staying "normal", no spikes, so we'll see. Also, WIND CHILL, you bitch! Walking into work this morning I couldn't see where I was walking from snow blowing in my face. GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? College. Housing screwed up and separated me and a friend. She called me and said I HAD to meet her hot new neighbor. I met him on our way out to a party. We spent the entire night talking at a table instead of partying.

@Ali_P7 First month trying can be exciting to test, but I wouldn't even think of testing until at least 8 dpo, even that is a stretch. Implantation takes 7-10 days so it is pretty much impossible to get a positive test at 6 days. If you go into the newbie blog, it shows HPT accuracy. It only starts at 10dpo which shows only 35% being accurate. Trying to save you some money!
The craziest part is: I've read the newbie blog & have been lurking here since March when I thought maybe I was pg (so I've seen the accuracy chart as a response in many threads). I know there's no way to get an accurate result on 6 DPO. And yet, I simply couldn't stop myself from peeing on that stick! I'd better get my "TWW craziness" in check or this will be a loooong journey!
Cycle/Month: 1/2 CD/DPO: 42/8 Timing: Good (maybe)
Testing Plans: I'm nuts and I've been testing for days now. Holding off until 10DPO at this point. Rants/Raves/Etc: This is my first month charting and I didn't have a BBT until like 12 days into the cycle I think. I was sure I O'd earlier, but figured that since I wasn't temping it didn't catch it. Then suddenly I had CH. Fortunately we were BDing just for fun and managed to have decent timing. If we managed to connect my EDD is my birthday. <sideeye> Not expecting that we managed to get this right the first time out so I'm just waiting on AF to show so we can try again. She's taking her sweet ass time though. GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? eHarmony.com. We're one of those crazy internet couples. We got matched up mid-October 2013 and started messaging soon after. I lived in Florida, he lived in Doha, Qatar (like 8,000 miles apart). We didn't really go a day without talking after the beginning of November and he came to visit me in Florida the day after Christmas that year. I'd already told my cousin on Thanksgiving that unless something crazy happened I was going to marry him. As soon as I saw him at the airport I knew that was going to happen. A few days later we talked about it and decided to get married. We've been married 6 months now and it's seriously the smartest thing I've ever done with my life. He's been incredibly supportive as I've battled a stupid number of health issues (Hashimoto's dx, Type 2 Diabetes dx, spinal fusion with foot drop as a result of the surgery) and he always makes me smile. Except when I trip over his shit on the floor.
TL;DR: eHarmony
Married: July 2014
Me: 33 DH: 33 (He's a couple months older, love to rib him about that)
Testing Plans: Not until Saturday, unless my period starts.
Rants/Raves/Etc: My temp has gone up and stayed up, but I also think I have a mini flu right now. Also, started barely spotting yesterday, but no cramps or any other signs of impending period. So I'm just (still) waiting to figure out what to do. Hoping if my period is coming, it comes soon so I can get to my RE for baseline testing for our IUI this month.
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?@lizzie922, my H and I are an eHarmony story, too! I had just decided to not renew my account after the first six months. Had about a month left, and lo and behold, this adorably dorky face shows up in my weekly email! Read his profile and realized he was just about the realest one I'd seen on the site (he loves tennis, classical music, listen to opera, you get the gist). I decided to message him. About a month later, we went on our first date - dinner that lasted about four hours and would've lasted longer but they started closing down the restaurant around us. I went back to my parents' house (where I was staying for the summer) and told my mom that I could marry this guy. About a year and a half later, he proposed, and last September we were married!
Married to the love of my life since September 2013. TTC #1 since January 2014 Met with RE Nov 2014: Cyst on left ovary. Laparoscopy/Hysteroscopy 12/3 to remove cyst, endo, polyp, and fibroid 12/14: Natural cycle = BFN 1/15: Starting Femara for IUI #1
Sorry for the BFN, @cnf2013 - fx you're not out this month! (Love the GTKY question, too!)
Cycle/Month: 11
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: -2,-1,O,+1
Testing Plans: Not until next week
Rants/Raves/Etc: I couldn't temp today because our dog woke me up once an our from 1-4, when MH's alarm went off (he doesn't usually have to go to work that early), and what sleep I got from 4 to 6:30 was nowhere near good enough to think my temp would be accurate. I know we're all still adjusting to my BIL moving out (BIL usually got home from work after midnight and would be up a while so he'd take care of the dog if he had to go outside), but still.
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?
We met at a bar. He was there with his coworkers for happy hour, I was at the same bar with mine. Turns out one of my coworkers is an old friend of his, so she introduced us. He would occasionally leave his coworkers to chat with us, and eventually just ditched them entirely to hang. Funny thing is, the mutual friend wanted to set me up with his brother, who was going to be joining him later in the evening. :P

@longhornwino0907 That's awesome! I had my account set up for only in the US. When I switched it to a worldwide search he was one of the first guys to appear. He had almost nothing in his profile (which I later learned is just because he doesn't really say much) but it seemed real. And then I saw his pictures and I was like, "Well, I guess I can reply to the wink." Glad I did!
Married: July 2014
Me: 33 DH: 33 (He's a couple months older, love to rib him about that)
Testing Plans: Not sure Rants/Raves/Etc: Bright red spotting this morning. Obviously hopeful it could be implantation but it doesn't seem likely. I've had long LPs up until now, so I'm hoping it's at least just spotting for a few more days! My temps look ok, but I haven't been sleeping well the past two nights so I'm not even confident in those. Meh. GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We met in high school. We didn't start dating until later, but we've known each other since high school.
Testing Plans: was trying to wait until this weekend when af was due but may be testing tomorrow
Rants/Raves/Etc: TMI...had a bit of spotting yesterday when wiping and am going to get HPT after work today to test either tonight or tomorrow morning...please chartstalk me please.
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5525ef GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? we were set up by mutual friends on a blind date who thought we were perfect for each other. I agreed if they would never set me up on another blind date again. 7 months later we were engaged and got married 2 years later. Have been married 10 years this coming summer.

CD/DPO: 32/13 based on patterns from previous months.
Timing: Decent, but not perfect.
Testing Plans: I will wait till Sunday if AF does show by them.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I am getting anxious about getting a BFN/AF again this cycle. I hate that feeling. I really want to be pregnant... obviously lol
GTKY: How you and your SO meet? We met in our first class at college. We were both music majors and were in the same music theory class. We didnt start dating until sophmore year and 5 1/2 years later we will married a year in March.

Hahaha. Well, there were a couple pictures with him with some short bathing suit shorts on and nothing else. Does that count? That *may* have influenced my desire to message him a little. They were cough nice cough photos.

Rants/Raves/Etc: When women who have had TTTC get pregnant and all of a suddenly are full of complaints about being pregnant (the acne, the bloating, sensitive smell, unable to drink coffee/wine/cold cuts of meat etc..) and how hard it is..... BE THANKFUL! Many women would give ANYTHING to be in your shoes.. morning sickness and all. ~~ rant over
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?
He knew who I was through my older brothers.. we ran into each other at a bar and he asked me to dance, we partied and stayed up all night. The next day, he surprised me and dropped off breakfast and a coffee at my work (knowing how hung over I would be) and asked me out for dinner that night. We've been BF's ever since
So I think I'm probably out. Just got some brown spotting in my underwear... but none when I wiped. Oh well, I figure AF in the next few days is inevitable now, at least I have a clue now and the crazy can disapate.

@Lbear94, regardless of their journey, pregnancy has its ups and downs. Constant nausea sucks. Acne sucks. Throwing up sucks. Need I go on? Just because one may have had tttc and finally gets pregnant doesnt mean they are ungrateful when they complain or they should just shut up an deal with it. Because no. Thats shitty. I hope you get your bfp but remember to not complain when you cant poop for days and are constantly throwing up.

Hi, guys I am a newbie so this is my fist time participated on the TWW thread
Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: Not great, O
Testing Plans: Probably Sat (10 DPO)
Rants/Raves/Etc: H got the flu a few days leading up to ovulation!! So that really messed up our timing. I am new to temping (so if you would like to chart stalk please go right a head) I also have dotted CH so I am hoping FF got it right this is my first month temping. I didn’t realize how much waking up at different times affects your temp. So I started setting an alarm on the weekends and my off days so that I could temp at the same time and that seemed to even out the crazy temps and open circles. I think I have it all worked out now. Not really feeling much of anything. I thought for sure I was pregnant last cycle even got a false positive so I am not playing into symptom spotting at ALL this go around.
GTKY: We are high school sweethearts. We started dating in 9th grade and separated for a few years, got back together as seniors and the rest is history!!
Rants/Raves/Etc: based on my last few cycles (post BCP, not temping) AF was due today. So glad I'm temping or else I would have turned into one of those 'zomg I'm two days late am I totes prego?!'
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We went to high school together and were good friends. He dated a few of my really close friends but lost touch after HS. Ran into each other randomly years later and started hanging out but then lost touch again. He called me out of the blue one day a year later and that's the day I knew I was going to marry him. He proposed after we'd been dating for three months, and we just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary.
NYE 2008/2009, my sister and I were at her boyfriends house party. I noticed a skinny guy in a blue hoodie walking around and singing along to Sweet Caroline. I told my sister I thought he was cute. Her boyfriend set us up on a 'semi' blind date for January 2nd. We've been together since then.

nandaboob06, this is pretty shitty. Hyperemesis gravidarum is real. Some women are in the hospital every day getting fluids because they can't eat or drink anything.

A good friend of mine was so sick during her second pregnancy that she couldn't care for her first daughter. I don't think her complaints were off base...
Kind of seems like we should all be supporting each other regardless of how long it takes for someone to conceive and how easy/hard the pregnancy is.

Hey @thechickencoop, I'm just curious, what's with the big temp drop for you today?
No clue. I'm thinking I need a new thermometer because I've had quite a few 97.0 EXACTLY this cycle and isn't that the 'my battery is about to die' temp? I'll give it a few more days and see and maybe pick up a new one for next cycle. ::shrug::
I LOOOOVE reading all of the meet-up stories!!! H's and mine is just sooooo boring; sometimes I wish we had that random/funny/fairy-tale to tell to kids/grandkids when they grow up.
Side note too - my sister met her husband (just got married in October) on Match and one of her good friends gave her a bunch of shit about meeting someone on the internet, blah blah blah. WTF? Gah that made me so freakin angry that she did that. Luckily she got her senses straight.

Very good friends of mine really railed on me for meeting MH in real life after meeting him on the internet. I don't really know anyone who didn't think I was out of my mind. I don't see how it's that different than meeting someone in a bar.

@cabgirl we're almost on the same schedule.
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: Great
Testing Plans: Desperately trying to wait until Sunday but I might give in Saturday morning.
Rants/Raves/Etc: So excited my chart has never been this beautiful or had such sustained high temperatures! And we finally found a house last night, we're putting an offer today!!
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?
At college orientation. We met on the first day and have been inseparable for the last 10 1/2 years.
CD/DPO: 9/22
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, O, +1
Rants/Raves/Etc: I'm pretty sure I'm out. My temps have been staying "normal", no spikes, so we'll see. Also, WIND CHILL, you bitch! Walking into work this morning I couldn't see where I was walking from snow blowing in my face.
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? College. Housing screwed up and separated me and a friend. She called me and said I HAD to meet her hot new neighbor. I met him on our way out to a party. We spent the entire night talking at a table instead of partying.
Thanks @hovenb I do appreciate the advice
The craziest part is: I've read the newbie blog & have been lurking here since March when I thought maybe I was pg (so I've seen the accuracy chart as a response in many threads). I know there's no way to get an accurate result on 6 DPO. And yet, I simply couldn't stop myself from peeing on that stick! I'd better get my "TWW craziness" in check or this will be a loooong journey!
CD/DPO: 42/8
Timing: Good (maybe)
Rants/Raves/Etc: This is my first month charting and I didn't have a BBT until like 12 days into the cycle I think. I was sure I O'd earlier, but figured that since I wasn't temping it didn't catch it. Then suddenly I had CH. Fortunately we were BDing just for fun and managed to have decent timing. If we managed to connect my EDD is my birthday. <sideeye> Not expecting that we managed to get this right the first time out so I'm just waiting on AF to show so we can try again. She's taking her sweet ass time though.
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? eHarmony.com. We're one of those crazy internet couples. We got matched up mid-October 2013 and started messaging soon after. I lived in Florida, he lived in Doha, Qatar (like 8,000 miles apart). We didn't really go a day without talking after the beginning of November and he came to visit me in Florida the day after Christmas that year. I'd already told my cousin on Thanksgiving that unless something crazy happened I was going to marry him. As soon as I saw him at the airport I knew that was going to happen. A few days later we talked about it and decided to get married. We've been married 6 months now and it's seriously the smartest thing I've ever done with my life. He's been incredibly supportive as I've battled a stupid number of health issues (Hashimoto's dx, Type 2 Diabetes dx, spinal fusion with foot drop as a result of the surgery) and he always makes me smile. Except when I trip over his shit on the floor.
CD/DPO: 33/15
Timing: Good
Rants/Raves/Etc: My temp has gone up and stayed up, but I also think I have a mini flu right now. Also, started barely spotting yesterday, but no cramps or any other signs of impending period. So I'm just (still) waiting to figure out what to do. Hoping if my period is coming, it comes soon so I can get to my RE for baseline testing for our IUI this month.
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? @lizzie922, my H and I are an eHarmony story, too! I had just decided to not renew my account after the first six months. Had about a month left, and lo and behold, this adorably dorky face shows up in my weekly email! Read his profile and realized he was just about the realest one I'd seen on the site (he loves tennis, classical music, listen to opera, you get the gist). I decided to message him. About a month later, we went on our first date - dinner that lasted about four hours and would've lasted longer but they started closing down the restaurant around us. I went back to my parents' house (where I was staying for the summer) and told my mom that I could marry this guy. About a year and a half later, he proposed, and last September we were married!

TTGP January Siggy Challenge: Workout Fails
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
CD/DPO: 8 dpo
Timing: -3, -2
Rants/Raves/Etc: Bright red spotting this morning. Obviously hopeful it could be implantation but it doesn't seem likely. I've had long LPs up until now, so I'm hoping it's at least just spotting for a few more days! My temps look ok, but I haven't been sleeping well the past two nights so I'm not even confident in those. Meh.
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? We met in high school. We didn't start dating until later, but we've known each other since high school.
My Ovulation Chart
CD/DPO: 26cd/13dpo
Timing: -2, 0, +1
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet? we were set up by mutual friends on a blind date who thought we were perfect for each other. I agreed if they would never set me up on another blind date again. 7 months later we were engaged and got married 2 years later. Have been married 10 years this coming summer.
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD/DPO: 32/13 based on patterns from previous months.
Timing: Decent, but not perfect.
Testing Plans: I will wait till Sunday if AF does show by them.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I am getting anxious about getting a BFN/AF again this cycle. I hate that feeling. I really want to be pregnant... obviously lol
GTKY: How you and your SO meet? We met in our first class at college. We were both music majors and were in the same music theory class. We didnt start dating until sophmore year and 5 1/2 years later we will married a year in March.
Testing Plans: Jan 8/15
Rants/Raves/Etc: When women who have had TTTC get pregnant and all of a suddenly are full of complaints about being pregnant (the acne, the bloating, sensitive smell, unable to drink coffee/wine/cold cuts of meat etc..) and how hard it is..... BE THANKFUL! Many women would give ANYTHING to be in your shoes.. morning sickness and all. ~~ rant over
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?
He knew who I was through my older brothers.. we ran into each other at a bar and he asked me to dance, we partied and stayed up all night. The next day, he surprised me and dropped off breakfast and a coffee at my work (knowing how hung over I would be) and asked me out for dinner that night. We've been BF's ever since
Sorry to hear that @mrsemutavi
Hi, guys I am a newbie so this is my fist time participated on the TWW thread
Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: Not great, O
Testing Plans: Probably Sat (10 DPO)
Rants/Raves/Etc: H got the flu a few days leading up to ovulation!! So that really messed up our timing. I am new to temping (so if you would like to chart stalk please go right a head) I also have dotted CH so I am hoping FF got it right this is my first month temping. I didn’t realize how much waking up at different times affects your temp. So I started setting an alarm on the weekends and my off days so that I could temp at the same time and that seemed to even out the crazy temps and open circles. I think I have it all worked out now. Not really feeling much of anything. I thought for sure I was pregnant last cycle even got a false positive so I am not playing into symptom spotting at ALL this go around.
GTKY: We are high school sweethearts. We started dating in 9th grade and separated for a few years, got back together as seniors and the rest is history!!

Timing: not good...-3
Testing Plans: none. Ok- Sunday.
Rants/Raves/Etc: based on my last few cycles (post BCP, not temping) AF was due today. So glad I'm temping or else I would have turned into one of those 'zomg I'm two days late am I totes prego?!'
GTKY: How did you and your SO meet?
We went to high school together and were good friends. He dated a few of my really close friends but lost touch after HS. Ran into each other randomly years later and started hanging out but then lost touch again. He called me out of the blue one day a year later and that's the day I knew I was going to marry him. He proposed after we'd been dating for three months, and we just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary.
