Testing Plans: I tried to hold out for 10 DPO, but last night DH and I came home from my nieces bday party and he said go POAS! (My lingo has rubbed off) The BFP was SO faint that I didn't believe it. This AM I took another (all wondfos) it was a touch darker. I didn't have any good pregnancy tests at home, so at work this morning I took one from the lab. (They're the same quality as the ones at the store for urine testing) it's very faint, but there. Honestly, I still don't believe it.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart stalk: I haven't really noticed anything crazy or out of the ordinary.
GTKY: Other than TCOYF, what was the last book you read and did you enjoy it? I'm reading Outlander right now and I love it. @caseyw8784 I read The Martian back in March. Amazing book!! I can't wait for the movie!
Testing Plans: testing Friday at 10 dpo then not again until missed AF
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart stalk: My boobs are SO sore! I am normally sore after O but this month is way worse and different than normal. Trying not to look into it much. No other symptoms to speak of.
GTKY: Other than TCOYF, what was the last book you read and did you enjoy it? I read The Giver series with my son. I had read the first book when I was younger but we read the whole series together and loved it!
I have a random statement/question. Do any of you get the occasional cramps and twinges throughout your luteal phase (2ww)? I'm on CD16, & 3dpo. I'm talking about twinges that come & go, mild cramps that could be a result of gas or something else, also lower back pains? (Nothing too serious). Just mere movement down there that could be due to other things. I'm just trying to see if this is normal. The pains aren't anything serious or unbearable. Just mere cramping & twinges. I plan on testing on testing on the 9th, my AF is due the 12th. I am very new to tracking so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
@AuntBB22 I'm so excited for the movie too! I had literally started reading the Martian the night before we went to Jurassic World, and we saw the trailer then; I got so excited! And also, yay for the faint line...woo-hoo!!

@Proudmommi08 I get weird cramps/twinges every month. I never noticed them before TTGP but we're much more aware of what's going on now. It's totally normal. If it's gets painful, though, call your doctor.
@KristieA congrats girl!!! You've been participating alot and people will miss ya when you move to a bmb. A bfp thread with you chart, how you told dh, and any other details you'd want to share would be very well received . So excited for you fx for a darker line tomorrow.
@mommy grams thanks- i'm having a strange temp increase: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5a4424 not sure what to make of it. The open circles mean nothing IMO, i woke up a 7am vs. 6am. I still temped right after waking. Its just strange and I'm still figuring out all the Ins and Outs.
Usually a triphasic chart with implantation usually happens at 9dpo or at the very earliest at 7dpo. Ff has some great triphasic charts to stalk. I'd guess your progesterone was just a slow rise this month. But triphasic are always fun to see. If it was me, poas addict that I am I'd start poas at 9dpo with a pretty chart like that. Fx
Testing Plans: 7th or 14th depending on if I can hold out or AF comes
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart stalk: hot flash this morning but that could be because of anything!
GTKY: Other than TCOYF, what was the last book you read and did you enjoy it? I re-read The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella. It's my favorite summer book. I just ordered the new Jane Green (Summer Secrets) and it should arrive today!
I know I'm creeping on the TWW thread and I'm still technically WTO but I wanted to say @MamaBish I love Jane Green! I just read Swapping Lives!
Well ladies I just went to the store and picked up a FRER. To be honest, I felt kind of like I was wasting money because the line on the $ Tree Test was so faint I was pretty sure I made it up. I came home and took another Dollar Tree Test and saw another very light second line. I still thought I was crazy, but then I used the FRER and sure enough there are 2 lines!!!! I cannot begin to process this yet! I think I am dreaming!
For the record, Dollar Tree tests work, but if you are looking for a darker line the FRERs are worth the money.
Thank you to everyone on tis thread for your support and for answering all of my chart questions. I am praying and keeping my fx for all of you to have your 2 lines very soon!
Man, there are going to be a ton of spring babies!! This board gets me so excited for my TWW! I'm buying bulk HPT's Amazon today! Hurray for all the BFPs!!
Testing Plans: waiting till 10 DPO before I even consider POAS. But I had a short LP last month, so I should wait longer since I'm not too sure when AF should arrive.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart stalk: I'm super nauseated, I can't even finish my meals or coffee, i just woke up like that today and idk where it's coming from. Otherwise, I'm just dandy. I'm going crazy waiting to start testing though. I want this to be my month!!
GTKY: I just recently read Psycho 1, 2 and 3 while traveling to Mexico. They're short books and I got stuck in San Fran, so I had lots of reading time. The first one was good of course and the other ones were just spin offs, but still good reads.
Testing Plans: Trying to wait until after a misse AF... but will most likely test Fri because i have no willpower...
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart stalk: Have a feeling Af is coming and for some reason this cycle im taking a little harder than usual..
GTKY: Other than TCOYF, what was the last book you read and did you enjoy it? Well....im currently reading TCOYF and loving it....but besides that i read The Girl On The Train By Paula Hawkins. I have mixed feelings on the book.
Timing: -2 only...I had to leave town at a bad time.
Testing Plans: I will test on Friday at 10 DPO.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: My temp chart is all over the place due to my LO's awful sleep pattern right now. I'm hoping I got my O date correct. Also, the Dollar Tree near me needs to restock their pregnancy tests.
GTKY: Other than TCOYF, what was the last book you read and did you enjoy it? I'm currently rereading The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly. It's a dark fairy tale and it's excellent.
To all you ladies that have gotten a BFP, congrats!
CD/DPO: 19/3DPO - I think I'm 3dpo as per my ultrasound from cd 14 that showed 2 mature follies (@ 24mm), and I had lots of cramping on cd 16, but I don't know for sure - could have been sooner/later.
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing plans: I decided I'd begin testing the morning of cd 28 (I have an appointment that afternoon with my FS), and test every day until BFP or AF starts.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves: as for symptoms for the most part just fatigued, sensitive breasts, and slight bloating. My previous cycles have been hard, but this cycle has been especially hard with scheduled bd. I think it's really taking it toll on us. Since I had a mid cycle ultrasound and I was told I hadn't ovulated yet and that in the next 1-3 days expect ovulation and keep dtd - all that pressure and anticipation of will we or won't we didn't help us at all. I was feeling pretty positive after hearing 2 mature follies, instead of none or 1 that I am usually used to hearing. Once the TWW started I started feeling not so positive. Stupid hormones, I'd like to get off this rollarcoaster ride. Urgh! If no BFP this cycle, thinking we may just take a month off, and just relax. TTC is so exhausting. No one truly knows how hard it is until they themselves have gone through it.
Last book: started the outlander series since I love the show so much a friend of mine told me I should read the books. Glad I did too, helping to pass the time some.

@ProudMommi08 Hey, so glad you asked this...I've been feeling the same thing!!
I can't tell if it's just all in my head though...I realize it probably is, but I can't help but get my hopes up a little. I've
been afraid to post anything though...sometimes the comments can get a
little..umm..sharp(?) for my taste and there's nothing worse than being
snapped at by strangers on the internet.
Anyway, I don't have any advice, just wanted to connect and say, you are not alone. AF due on the 12th for me as well. I'm trying to hold out to test until 10 DPO but that's really hard.....especially when you bulk order tests on amazon...
