Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I am just waiting on af and feeling clueless. I didn't temp/chart before and I can't help but feel like my cycles were not this long and my body is off kilter from bcp.
GTKY: If you could interview any famous person (Celebrity, musician, famous for historical purpose, etc...) alive or dead, who would it be and why? I'll have to think about it.
June 2016 April Siggy Challenge: Reasons my kid is crying
@Carazona5 - You'll get no teasing from me. I think she would be an interesting person to meet too!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 25/4
Testing Plans: So yesterday I said I was waiting for AF, but will probably cave and do it early. I'm totally planning on doing testing on the 17th (CD 33/ 12 DPO) because I, like some of you, also like to pee on sticks.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Cramps have been crazy this cycle. They started 6 days before O and have been pretty steady since. They haven't been horrible, not bad enough to prevent me from doing what I need to do, but just bad enough to make me a little irritable some days.
GTKY: If you could interview any famous person (Celebrity, musician, famous for historical purpose, etc...) alive or dead, who would it be and why? Jesus Christ, because I think He is wonderful. A person I would want to meet that isn't a religious figure, Jane Austen. There is a lot we don't know about her personal life.
I wasn't going to post my own bfp thread...but I will a little later when our company leaves. I haven't told DH yet, I will later tonight when everyone leaves.
Thanks so much for all the well wishes and congratulations!
Thanks everyone! We will see. The line is too close to invisibly faint for me to get too excited or believe that I am so I have a couple days of testing still I am thinking. I'll keep yall updated.
Congrats to you @mommygrams !! Can't wait to hear about how you tell your
I wasn't going to post my own bfp thread...but I will a little later when our company leaves. I haven't told DH yet, I will later tonight when everyone leaves.
Thanks so much for all the well wishes and congratulations!
How on earth have you not shouted it from the rooftops yet?!?! Excited to hear how to decide to tell DH though!!
Testing Plans: I stupidly tested 2 days ago even though I promised myself I wouldn't, simply because I found a spare test I forgot I had (bfn of course). Will be testing tomorrow morning if AF hasn't arrived yet.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Bit awkward because we have hubby's parents staying with us this weekend and they don't know we're trying so will be either wondering why I'm not drinking or why I'm curled up in a ball crying.
Symptoms are some very interesting pms like symptoms and cm about 2 days after o then nothing until yesterday the sore boobs came and the cm made a return.
If I get a bfn this cycle I'm going to get a bbt and start using ff to chart - so look out for my annoying questions in a few weeks maybe
GTKY: If you could interview any famous person (Celebrity, musician, famous for historical purpose, etc...) alive or dead, who would it be and why? I'd love to interview someone heinous like Hitler and try to understand how they could do what they do and whether they had any regrets
@mommy grams woohoo! All the best, and what you said about getting support, I see you on here all the time giving great advice and support, just wanted to mention that!
Oh no ladies me too! Rough week for sleep. What's the moon phase.....or maybe just stress
*edit to fix my silly gif
I have been the same with loads of heartburn... Totes could be stress for me but one part of my brain will always be thinking this is my month - course I'd prob take it as a sign if my cat was extra snuggly or something totally unrelated ... *Whistles, looking up at the sky thinking "well gee it's cloudy, that must mean I'm my eggo is preggo"*
CD/DPO: 15 CD / 2-3ish DPO (my temps got all messed up/missed and i'm guessing on O based on CM and CP)
Testing Plans: none unless AF is more than a few days late
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: just annoyed about the temps for the month
GTKY: If you could interview any famous person (Celebrity, musician, famous for historical purpose, etc...) alive or dead, who would it be and why? probably Henrik Lundqvist because I think he is super sexy and he is my favorite goalie.
ETA: I suppose I can answer the TWW questions. Just so excited for your BPFs!!
Month/Cycle: 1/1 (first temping anyway)
CD/DPO: 22/11
Testing Plans: wait for AF
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: cramping started already. And crabby PMS. AF is on her way I'm sure. ~X(
GTYK: Ella Fitzgerald - I could listen to her story all night. And then hopefully she'd sing for me

Testing: BFN yesterday AM, this AM and just now. Using Wondfos for the first time and I think I am becoming a POAS addict! Halp!
Symptoms/Rant/Rave: boobs still sore and feeling bigger. Cats being super cuddly, which I hear is an ovulation symptom, right? My last LP was 12 days, so we will see if AF shows up soon. I hope not!

Trying to get in while it's still Thursday on the East Coast...
Month/Cycle: 3
CD/DPO: 16/4
Testing Plans: 18 DPO if I can make it.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Good news: going away to NYC for the weekend to celebrate our 2nd anniversary! We're going to see "Wicked" and I can't wait! Bad news: DH is going to be on business trip next month for my exact predicted fertile window. I'm hoping I ovulate early or late...
GTKY:
If you could interview any famous person (Celebrity, musician, famous
for historical purpose, etc...) alive or dead, who would it be and why?
Kurt Vonnegut used to be my go to answer for this, but I've recently been reading about Louisa May Alcott and she seems really cool. Also Oscar Wilde, also Mark Twain. I realize that I have gone way over my interview quota.
CD 18. Well, just swinging by to say that I posted here yesterday with crosshairs and I awoke to what must have been the lowest ovulation dip EVER. Took an OPK on a hunch, and it was glaring positive. Despite everything on CD13-14 looking perfect for O to include a this.close positive OPK (I blamed myself, for timing). So it looks like I had 2 FWs, which is just plain nuts!!!
I look forward to joining you all for reals next time.
Testing Plans: Continuing to test, and surprise surprise BFN...
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Feeling pretty bummed about this month being another bust... hoping for a BFP, but just want this waiting game to end.... if the witch is gonna come she might as well come a little early, so I can start fresh a new month.
GTKY:
If you could interview any famous person (Celebrity, musician, famous
for historical purpose, etc...) alive or dead, who would it be and why? Probably Jane Austen, would love to pick her mind...
