Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart: I had a huge temp drop today so I guess I know what's coming... I'm going to look at the bright side and appreciate that I know a ton more about my cycle thanks to temping and that I have a appropriately long LP. I feel so much more relaxed knowing that I O'd. Knowledge is power. All that said, I'm still pissed.
GTKY: What is your DH's favorite food? Hands down: Japanese curry. The man cannot get enough of it (but neither can I so we're good.)
Timing: -5, -3, 0 (I'll see if I can sneak in a +1 after work)
Testing Plans: I want to wait as long as possible, and I'm also preparing myself NOT to symptom spot (I felt nauseous yesterday before lunch, and I was already "Oh My God, Could this be??" No dummy, you just have low blood sugar - EAT!).
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart: Just can't wait for the weekend. 4 hours to wait is too long!
GTKY: What is your DH's favorite food?
He's a good eater and will try anything, which I appreciate. I'd have to say I get more requests to make chicken fajitas with guac than anything.
Testing Plans: Tested this morning BFN. Not surprised. I just wanted to test before drinking tonight. Will wait til Wednesday when AF is due.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart: Boobies are hurting more each day. Kinda normal for me but not this close to AF. Thought I felt periody for a second when I woke up but that's gone. Temp isn't really going anywhere yet. Kind of just want this cycle to hurry the F up! I hate waiting!
GTKY: What is your DH's favorite food? I haven't the slightest clue! He calls everything his favorite until he moves on to something else. But he loooves sushi. And anything his mom makes. And my Taco Soup.
Testing Plans: FF set my test date on my hubby's birthday. But since I did an override this cycle I'll just temp and if no period I'll test Memorial Day morning.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart: woke up with my eyes swollen shut this morning due to an allergic reaction. Awesome sauce. BUT hubby and I are on the way to STL for the weekend to go to two Cardinals games so I'm going to suck it up and be a trooper.
GTKY: What is your DH's favorite food? Greasy cheeseburgers
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart: My sleep has been awful lately! I'm worried about how accurate my temps are because of it. I know I'm not getting a solid 3 hours before I temp everyday. I temp between 4:15-5:15am every morning but for some reason FF gave me open circles today and yesterday.
GTKY: What is your DH's favorite food? Pizza, pepperoni pizza. He could eat it every day of the week. In fact, we are having pizza tonight!
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart: Went out last night for dinner and ended up meeting friends and staying at the bar until midnight drinking. Fun times but obviously my temp spiked this morning and even though it is after O I still hate temps that aren't 100% accurate. Boo.
GTKY: What is your DH's favorite food? Being a Texan anything Mexican of course!!
Me 35, DH 37
Unexplained infertility and TTC since December 2014
February 2016 - May 2016: 3 IUI's -- all BFN
August 2016: IVF #1 (Lupron, Gonal F and Menopur) -- 12 retrieved, 9 fertilized, 3 frozen and 1 x day 5 hatching blast transferred -- BFN. Sent remaining 3 embryos for PGS testing -- 2 didn't survive thaw, 1 was abnormal.
February 2017: IVF #2 (Gonal F, Menopur, and Ganirelix) -- 12 retrieved, 6 fertilized, 3 sent for PGS testing and all were abnormal
March 2018: IVF #3 (Menopur, Follistim, Ganirelix and HGH) -- 14 retrieved, 12 fertilized, 4 sent for PGS testing, and 3 were PGS normal
May 2018: FET #1 -- BFN
August 2018: FET #2 -- BFP!!! healthy baby girl born May 2019!!
July 2020: FET #3 -- embyro did not survive thaw
September 2020 - IVF #4 (Menopur, Follistim, Ganirelix and HGH) -- 1 PGS normal
October 2020 - FET #4 -- BFN
January 2021 - IVF #5 (Menopur, Follistim, Ganirelix and HGH) -- 2 PGS normal
Testing Plans: I'll only test if AF is late - at least that's what I tell myself but my will power is nearly negative, so who knows. It's helpful to supplement my nonexistent willpower with the complete lack of HPTs at home.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart: I've been spotting intermittently since Paraguard IUD removal over New Years. I'm finally just charting and recording my spotting for my OB. It seems hormonal to me because I spotted after my period every day until -1 but have been spot free for 8 days now. I know every cycle since Jan I've been spotting for many days before my period arrives, so I'm just waiting for that to start any minute. I have blood tests on CD 3 and ultrasound on CD 6 to see if we can figure out what's going on. Has anyone had/heard of this pattern of spotting? Dr. Google gives me nothing besides - "YAY ovulation spotting means you're so fertile!" and "YAY implantation spotting means you're pregnant!" My spotting is neither of those things, you jerks.
GTKY: What is your DH's favorite food? ALL THE FOOD! He's an equal opportunity eater. He loves a $75 filet mignon and a $1 taco from Taco Bell. I love how easy he is - I can cook him anything and he's so appreciative and complimentary (does that mean he's free or that he compliments me a lot... I never know if I can use complimentary this way but it's Friday and I'm tired and too lazy to look it up.)
@alittlecountry -- haha thanks. DH and I are both red heads so our friends always refer to us as teamginger lol

Testing Plans: tested everyday since 7dpo all BFN including today.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart: I'm a little frustrated but at the same time okay because my LP is already much longer than last month(9 days). Temp also went up a little today so that's a plus. Chart in sig.
GTKY: What is your DH's favorite food? Bacon. Hands down.
CD/DPO: 32/11 (but according to FF, I'm 14 DPO which even with my two missing temps I'm not buying)
Timing: -3, -2, +1
Testing Plans: I tested Wednesday and got a BFN which was not surprising. AF is due Sunday, but I will prob test tomorrow with FMU bc I plan to drink more than a moderate amount of alcohol tomorrow night
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart: I finally linked my chart! I haven't temped the last couple of days due to sleep disturbances/laziness.
Rant: My migraines have come back with a vengeance since stopping my preventative medication to ttc.
Rave: I'm getting a new car tonight after work!
GTKY: What is your DH's favorite food? His 1st fave is beer, and his 2nd is really any fast food.
Andplusalso @nlwz123 how have you not tested again!? Your restraint is impressive.
I'm stalking for the update.
Thanks haha. I figured if it really is positive, it'll be much more positive tomorrow morning (hopefully) and I won't be second guessing myself. We shall see!
Testing Plans: Tested this morning again and BFN. I'll keep testing until my temp goes below cover line or AF shows up
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart: I've had brown cm every other day starting at 8 dpo. Same thing happened in March and I don't know what to make of it. Also had really bad cramping in my lower right abdomen for 3 days around 9 dpo.

O no! I've checked this thread like 6 times to an update @nlwz123 I can't believe you are making us all wait
I was right! Small victories. . Good luck! Are you going to test out the trigger?
Oh boy you were right. Tuesday am I could feel it and I was so hot. Lol. I'm not sure I haven't been what do you think. I was entertained but really let down last time because I tested into 10 dpo.

I thought my LP was shorter because I ovulated later and my cycles have been getting shorter and shorter in the past few months from 28 days 5-7 period to now 23-25 with three day. Maybe it's totally unrelated. Not gonna think about it.
I go for progesterone draw on Monday. I had the iui on Monday am. Fx !!!! My question was do you think it's beneficial to test out the trigger ?! Did you do it ?! Thanks again.
Testing Plans: Um... Let's just say my rational brain knows that it's too early, and will be for several more days.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart: Symptom spotting like a pro. Sore breasts (completely unusual for me ever), bloated, little crampy twinges. Someone should slap me.
GTKY: What is your DH's favorite food?
Taco truck tacos. Although his first response was sugar. I clarified that the question was about food, not addictions.
I couldn't sleep because of weird crampings, so I decided to go through with testing this morning. Got a BFP. OMG. I'm shocked. Clearly I can't go back to sleep anymore even though it's 5am here.
I can't stop thinking about how much longer it would have taken me if I didn't find this community. When I told my OBGYN that we were ready to start a family, she just told me to have sex on CD 10, 12, and 14 and see what happens for 6 months. Boy did I have so much to learn. Thank you so much ladies for all your guidance and daily amusement. Wanted to especially give a shout out to @TheBorg7of9 for your incredible knowledge - you should write a book!!! and @27alex for telling it like it is which is what makes this community so special.
For those wondering, I couldn't wait to tell DH so poor guy got woken up at 4am to me hugging him saying I'm prego. He didn't believe it at first but then I think it slowly sank in. Since my expected due date is literally on his birthday, he proceeded to say, "damnit, I'll never celebrate my birthday ever again" and then fell back asleep - LOL, men.
