update: I realized AF was probably coming since I've felt crampy, but was really hoping it would at least hold out until AFTER my obgyn yearly exam this afternoon. Now, an hour and a half before my appointment and I'm spotting. Seriously? Now is NOT the time! I want to punch my uterus in the face.
Pretty sure I'm out this cycle, so good luck to those still waiting to test! I'll most likely be on the waiting to O board tomorrow. *sigh*
*Testing Plans: Probably 11DPO and onward. I have a bunch of tests from Amazon that I noticed will expire in September, so no point in conserving anymore!
*Symptoms/rants/raves/chart stalks: Just trying to remain positive. We're only trying for one additional cycle on our own before we start with Femara for me plus IUI and it would obviously just be so much easier if it could happen before we have to go down that road.
*GTKY: if you could only eat one (or two) things for the rest of your life... What would you choose!?
In a perfect world where it was healthy, pizza and pretzels with beer cheese dip from the Mellow Mushroom. Yum!!!
DH: 34/Me: 35 Married: Feb 2008 DD: June 2011 TTC# 2: April 2014 BFP!! 8/29/16 --> EDD: 5/11/17....it's a GIRL!!!
*Testing Plans: Been testing with Walmart tests CD25 and CD26
*Symptoms/rants/races/chart stalks: On CD23, my breasts were sore, especially on the outer sides. They do not become sore before my period anymore, they used to before I had my first daughter. My areolas look bigger but not darker. Last night, I had odd cramping for about ten minutes and slight aching in my calves. Normally, I would think my period is coming, but before the aching in my calves would be much more pronounced and the cramping would be paired with an odd feeling 'down there', like an aching sensation. The day before this cramping, I had some cervical fluid discharge that was watery and whitish. Today I have a headache and feel moody where I don't want to be around anyone....
*GTKY: Any sort of Thai coconut soup dish and melted cheese on Doritos!
*Testing Plans: I don't know. Ugh! DPO 10 Maybe? We'll see how long I can hold out.
*Symptoms/rants/raves/chart stalks: Nothing, nada, niento. I wish I could symptom spot, but nothing. I'm not even moody! I did feel the slightest twinge of pain while I was writing this. It's all in my head. Arg!
*GTKY: Cheese. Anything with cheese. Pizza, tacos, enchiladas, cheese by itself, don't care.
Testing plans: I'm still holding on to hope that I can make it until Friday which will be 12 DPO
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I'm feeling discouraged today because I have a feeling I'll be out soon. I have all of my typical PMS symptoms fatigue, mild cramping and craving anything chocolate. I know I'm not out until AF shows but I just can't shake the feeling...
GTKY: if you could only eat one (or two) things for the rest of your life... What would you choose!? I thought I knew until I looked at everyone else's answers and wanted those too! But, I think I'd go with pancakes because you can make them sweet or savory and pizza

@TheGizzmo Are you sure of your ovulation date? Because if so you should definitely be able to turn a test. Most luteal phases are 10-16 days so you are past that. You may want to wait to test for your own reasons but I would not have been able to wait this long if I were you!

Not 100% positive, but pretty sure. I went to get tests today and the store I went to was sold out. I will go somewhere else tomorrow when my husband is not around (if it is positive I have a cool anniversary present planned for him)

Had to go to the store for groceries anyways so I got a couple FRER tests. Now the question is POAS now or wait till morning for FMU. Decisions, decisions! Any suggestions?
@tigerfish227 depends on how many tests you got and how potential bfn make you feel. Doesn't bother me...in fact makes me less anxious. I pee on all the sticks...guilty. If you feel you can't wait...pee away let us know when you do whether it be today or tomorrow good luck girl
Please tell me that I'm not crazy. So, I keep thinking that if I have at BNP this cycle. I could celebrate Mother's Day, as a new mommy to be. Wishful thinking I guess? Lol. But wouldn't that be so fun!?!

@cattlebride "timing" refers to when you had sex in relation to your O date. So, when you see others put -1, for instance, it means the day before ovulation. 0 is ovulation. +1 is the day after, etc.
Thanks for explaining this @jennymack79. I was wondering too!
@angc4@mrsespigreen@LoveLucy0413 I did it. I had to make a choice. It was either POAS, not POAS or pee my pants while trying to decide. BFN but I'm not really upset. I expected as much. Now at least I feel a little relaxed. I can survive until this weekend and if AF doesn't show I will test again probably Sunday morning. I really don't feel guilty about using up a test either. It eased my mind and I still have 2 more that I can use later if AF doesn't show.

What does month/cycle mean- why would those numbers be different? I never know I'm doing that part right ?! Thanks in advance

Some people have long cycles- maybe 45 days. Or they may have had a miscarriage. So it's possible to be 10 months into TTC but only on cycle 7.
For the average person these numbers are the same.
