Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: FF moved my CH like I expected, and now they're solid. I'm more confident about where they've got my CH now, so I'm glad about that. I'm still feeling thankful that I was using OPKs. If I hadn't seen the lines darkening up so quickly/early, we'd have probably mostly missed my FW.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...) I'm a Taylor Swift fan. I can't help it. I can't currently think of an annoying one...
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Cramping started yesterday which is pretty much the earliest its arrived in a cycle after O. Eff you cramps.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? - that's a tough question! I'm honestly not sure! Maybe the Kardashians? They fall under both categories depending on the day.
Testing Plans: on the 17th since I am going out for my birthday dinner that night
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm just plain tired today. DD has been getting up at night upset and it is catching up to me. I feel bad for DD, I'm not sure what is waking her up.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...) Justin Bieber irritates me. I know I have grown a liking to T Swift since her new album has come out.
@hovenb - Have you checked to make sure your Wondfos aren't part of the fakes that some people received a few weeks ago? They always say "a line is a line", but I understand the nerves with these cheapie tests and faint lines. FX that your shadow turns into a for-real-can't-deny-it line!!
ETA - At only 11 dpo, it's totally expected for the line to be very faint. So, I'd be willing to bet it's the real thing.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I've been waking up with some spotting that disappears as the day wears on since Saturday.
Also, I was thumbing through TCOFY last night and realized it's as bad as WebMD. I have ALL THE THINGS wrong with me.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...) I find Chris Hemsworth entertaining. Well, entertaining in that I can stare at him for hours and be thoroughly entertained.
Most irritating: Anything Kardashian, JLo, Real Housewives.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Feeling a little out of sorts today.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...) "Celebrities" who became that way because of reality TV, like the Kardashians. I like Taylor Swift and that's what I'm going to go with because I can't think of anyone else.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I woke up to a HUGE temp spike this morning. Largest I've seen in my 9 months of temping. I think my actual O date was yesterday, CD 16 instead of 14 like FF is showing. But we'll see.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...) I'm going to say Beyonce and JayZ. They irritate me for some reason.

@pippacricket - The Kardashians...Good gracious! They are so annoying that I avoid anything even slightly related to them. I had completely forgotten about them. Yes. They are one of the most annoying pop culture obsessions. Agreed!
Testing Plans: Tomorrow if my temp looks good and no spotting.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I dislike the TWW. It's so hard to be patient and wait for either really exciting news or really disappointing news.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...) I try to stay away from pop-culture as much as possible, lol.
Hi @winterbridemamma, welcome to TWW! The "Timing" question refers to your sex timing in relation to O. If you're using Fertility Friend, it will give you a rating ("High", "Good", etc...). Some people just use that general designation. Others list the actual days they had sex. -2 means two days before O, O means on the day of ovulation, +1 means one day after ovulation. We only count the days that are actually in the FW (fertile window), so usually -5 through +1. Some won't even count +1, since they egg is usually unviable at that point.
CD/DPO: 21/9 - I think, I need to check my calendar
Timing: only ok
Testing Plans: tomorrow morning maybe
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: At this point in the tww, I just want my period to come or to be able to test, even though I know it's still super early. I'm SO impatient
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...) I actually love Taylor Swift, at least her last two albums. I hate hashtaging everything. It turns me into an irritable old lady.
Timing: I'm optimistic. It just takes one, you know?
Testing Plans: I feel like I should see AF if she's coming on Friday, 10 DPO since my LP is consistently 10 days. I still don't want to test that early but I have way too many drinking gatherings this weekend...
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm symptom spotting like a beast! I keep thinking these cramps and that mild headache must mean I'm out. I try to remind myself of the implantation timeline, but really I'm just going crazy.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...) I LOVE Ryan Gosling. That man can do no wrong. He loves animals? Check! He looks amazing with a shirt off? Yesssss! Annoying would have to be Kim and Kanye in every way, always.
Met 10/2009, Adopted rescue pup 9/2011, Married 6/2013, TTC #1 7/2014
Timing: Good according to FF. Room for improvement according to me.
Testing Plans: DH asked me to test at 10dpo, which is coming up soon - eep! I have very mixed feelings about testing so early, esp. when I don't have a clue what my typical LP is.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Really no symptoms at all of anything, temps dropped from their peak but are holding steady abover the coverline.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...)nI still kind of love grumpy cat, even though I told DH that it made me feel like a frumpy 50 year old with a "Hang in There!" cat poster in my cubicle. But he's just so adorably grumpy! Least favorite is the Kardashians. I still don't understand why they are famous.

DH has one son (11) from prior marriage Baby Girl Pug is my furbaby
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I just hate that I was traveling all around O. I know I O'd because there was a huge temp shift, just not convinced on the day. FF did give solid crosshairs. I should just be thankful I O'd.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...) definitely Kardashians and Bieber most irritating.. I love Downton, J Law
Testing Plans: this morning. I saw an incredibly faint line after 5 minutes on one of the wondfos (legit wondfo). It got slightly darker after 10 minutes, but I'm inclined to ignore the darkening based on the package warnings (neg can turn pos after 5 minutes). Will try to avoid testing tomorrow, but definitely Thursday morning since I'm traveling this weekend.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: question about the wondfos -- if it's pos, does it really take 5 minutes to appear? Shouldn't it happen faster? Otherwise, no complaints. All my "symptoms" went away after 8dpo, so who knows.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...). Irritating: anything kardasian, real housewives, jersey shore. I do like Taylor swifts new album.
For those who like grumpy cat, check out Henri, le chat noir (the French existential cat).
Testing Plans: If no spotting before 12dpo, then 12dpo. But I'm pessimistic this month.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm so tired lately. I don't think I've fully recovered from the holidays yet.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...) Love Ryan Gosling memes. Yum. Dislike anything Kardashian. Yuck.
@hovenb I would try a FRER tomorrow morning. FX for you!
Cycle/Month: 17/18
CD/DPO: 31/14
Timing: Good
Testing Plans: Today, BFN
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: My temp went up this morning so I decided to test. Big mistake. Now I'll just spend the rest of the day feeling sorry for myself.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...) Most irritating would be Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus and most entertaining goes to Teen Mom.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Since I have been paying more attention to my body, I have realized that I get boob pain starting almost immediately after ovulation. Maybe this will help me not "symptom spot" so much!
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...)
Love Downton Abbey, Ryan Gosling, Taylor Swift
Can not stand the Kardashians, Real Housewives or anything like that
Testing Plans: Maybe 10 or 11 DPO, longest LP has been 9 days
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Ugh, had a nightmare last night, I hate that. Otherwise, just waiting for my period, or an appropriate time test. Tick tock, tick tock.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...) I concur with previous posts - can't stand anything Kardashian - does anyone really like them? How are they so popular. Also love me some Ryan Goslin.
September '15 Siggy Challenge: Favorite Movie Couple
@UsernamesAreHard, I would keep HIO. I think you're right that FF is drunk. That doesn't seem like a definite temp shift yet. If anything, I'd say CD10 might be O, but the next few days should help shed some light.
R/R/CS: FF gave me a lovely birthday present today by removing my CHs entirely. I think it's due to my CM data, if I remove that they go back to CD10 where they were before. Should I put it in even if I haven't tracked any other CM during the month? Can I get a chart stalk? Do you think CD 10 was my O and FF is just drunk? Stalk my chart
GTKY: I am loving the new T Swift album and not ashamed...much.
I know I asked yesterday, but could I get a chart stalk? Did I miss something this month? lol
What is confusing you?
Ditto Rissca, what do you think you missed?
Could it be possible that I ovulated later? I'm thinking CD19? Just because no period yet and no AF. I'm new to all of this so still trying to figure it all out
@GingerLady03 - I could possibly see CD19 as O, but I'm no chart expert. FX that you get an answer soon, either a BFP or CD1 so you can move on to next cycle. GL!
Testing Plans: is 3 dpo too early?? Haha jk! Probably starting 9 or 10 dpo bc I am impatient. Question: how do you know if your wandfos are fake? I have seen people talking about that lately and I just wanted more information. I bought some accumed (manufactured by wandfo) off amazon.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: just figuring this whole ttc thing out. Excited to see what the future holds. FX for all the ladies out there in the looooong tww.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? LOVE taylor swift... and..... dont judge me... one direction. Haha so lame. I dont like anything that plays repeatedly on the radio.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? Most entertaining - Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Breaking Bad (I know it's over but that shit was awesome), SOA, OUAT. Most irritating - Fucking Nicki Minaj!
Eliza040502 test again tomorrow with a FRER. it will be more reliable.
@mill23 I'm no expert, but I think FF might change your crosshairs.
I have one FRER left and no chance to get to the store this week for more. Think I should use it tomorrow or wait until Thursday? I have lots of wondfos left.
Testing Plans: none yet, probably only if my period is late.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm not totally convinced I o'd when FF is saying. I do think it's likely to have been the last couple days, but yesterday I temped late and Sunday I temped very late and was sick so both those high temps could be misleading. Also I'm dumb and haven't been tracking any secondary signs, oops. Guess I'll just wait it out.
GTKY: Which current pop-culture icon do you find most entertaining? most irritating? (i.e. Downton Abbey, Grumpy Cat, Taylor Swift, etc...)
Honestly I don't really pay a whole lot of attention to pop culture. I'm not a fan of any reality tv, and hashtags drive me crazy.
@Eliza040502 - I LOVE Henri. I made DH watch it and I think he found me odd. Cracks me up every time though.
@Eliza040502, @daisy818, I love Henri too! I have that painting in the gif (Le Chat Noir) hanging in my kitchen, and I named one of my cats Henry (though he's a Siamese and looks nothing like the original Henri. Aaaaaand I've just revealed the extent of my crazy cat lady-ness.
