Testing Plans: I'm out of town again this week for a conference so I'll wait until I'm back at 11DPO
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I have dotted crosshairs, but am seriously excited to be in the TWW. If I put in my dark but not yet positive OPK on CD16 I get solid CH, so I'll just go with it. I've got to say, I prefer the TWW over the WTO. Something about knowing I've already ovulated makes it more tolerable.
Testing Plans: I'd like to say next weekend, but...... I've already started symptom spotting because I have no self-control, so maybe mid-week.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: The one time I got a bfp in the past, I had sore boobs starting at about 7dpo (usually I get pms sore boobs a day or two before AF). So of course I'm poking my boobs to see if they're sore (they're not, but maybe tomorrow after all this poking). I was hoping I'd make it farther into the TWW before being such a symptom spotter (

I'm obsessed with farm animals (cows, pigs, goats). But also these guys:
TTC #1 --- BFP #1 5/15, loss at 5 weeks --- BFP #2 12/15, loss at 4+3 --- RE testing 3/16 normal, still trying for our rainbow
CD/DPO: 32/14 (by crosshairs) 30/12 (if you go by the actual temp spike on my chart)
Timing: Either -2 and 0 or -4, -2, -1, 0, +1
Testing Plans: I keep pushing the day back, ha! Maybe Friday? Part of it is knowing I've had cycles up to CD 36 in the past, and part of it is being scared of the BFN letdown.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I'm spending my days over analyzing followed by over rationalizing everything. My gut tells me this just wasn't our month, though, and I'm waiting for AF to show up.
Testing Plans: trying to hold out to Saturday, but probably will cave before then. I'm weak
S/R/R/CS: not really anything yet. Slight on/off cramping and peeing like a mofo. Was chugging water allll day yesterday cause I was at a sand castle festival, but still seemed like more than usual.
GTKY: favorite animal gif party! These guys! They're so cute and child-like!
Testing Plans: DH is leaving Friday for the weekend (Army Reserves), which will be 9 DPO. So I'm debating whether I should test while he's gone and surprise him (if I get a BFP) or wait until he's back and test while he's here
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: No symptoms. I'm nervous every day to take my temperature. I have no idea why, but part of me feels like FF is going to take away my CH for some reason.
Month/Cycle:1/1
CD/DPO: 25/7
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Testing Plans: Friday morning:)
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I wish that my temps would increase. I had a dip on 4DPO and my temp has only increase just slightly over the past couple of days. I don't know what's worse WTO or TWW. I keep on telling myself that it won't happen this cycle so I'm not getting my hopes up if/when it's a BFN. This is going to be a long weekend until either AF comes or to begin testing. FF has my period coming July 30 so we will see.

me 30; DH 35 TTC since May 2014. Aug 2014 BFP, EDD April 22, 2015. Low progesterone, started suppositories. Loss at 5w6d. Nov 19, 2015 BFP at 13 dpo, EDD July 29, 2016. MMC discovered 12/29 (9+4). Natural miscarriage 1/16 (12+1). AMH results 0.42, 1.2; FSH 12.1, AFC 10, dx DOR. RPL testing results normal. Nurse recommended progesterone suppositories in TWW. Clomid + trigger + TI cycle August 2016 - failed. Thin lining. Femara + trigger + TI cycle December 2016 - failed. Thin lining. Short LP (8 days). Acupuncture & Chinese herbs starting January 2017, lengthened LP to 10 days
Timing: just got cross hairs but either 0 and 1 or 1 and 2
Testing Plans: caved and tested at 6 DPO and this morning for both BFN even though I knew it was too early
Symptoms/rants/raves/chart stalk: I've been burping constantly for a few days as well as extreme fatigue. I got weird white bumps on my nipples and when I take my bra off they hurt. But I'm a size 36 FF so they hurt most of the time normally lol-life aghhh! I've had weird cramps and funny strange pains in my nether regions, creamy cm through today, high triphasic temp, and severe naseau today and yesterday. Just dry heaved after breakfast. But I haven't been off the pill in over 15 years so this could easily be mostly a normal pms for me and some weird illness like a bug. Basically I'm going totally blind so just have to wait impatiently and see!
Loving all the adorable animals! DH and I lay in bed this am and watched cat videos. Yay Sunday
Testing Plans: I caved and tested this morning. BFN. Bummed.
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Definitely feeling down on my luck/chances for this month now, but I'm just going to wait for AF which should arrive on Wednesday. Also, my schedule this weekend was totally off and I didn't get to temp yesterday or today. GRR

Symptoms/raves/rants/chart stalk: I think I f-ed up my timing this month. I'm so freaking mad at myself. I had a temp shift followed by a fallback rise on CD15, which also corresponded with a few days of watery CM. The temp shift was .3 degrees, small but FF gave me solid crosshairs after three days of higher temps. Well, yesterday and today I had another temp shift--this one almost a whole degree higher than most of my temps pre-CD15. Now I'm freaking out that I actually O'd on CD19. We hadn't had sex since CD15. I know it's very possible my temps spiked for many reasons unrelated to ovulating, but I have a feeling I missed it this month. My CM has been no help at all yet--a few days of watery but no EWCM. Ugh. I'm so mad at myself.

I feel you. I don't think I missed my window but am feeling SO frustrated in general this month b/c I feel like I/m out even though it's only 11DPO. I also just started a new medicine today which has listed the number one side effect(s) as 'irritability/anger, anxiety, rapidly changing moods' - just what I need when TTC!!

If the temps stay higher, maybe the chart's going triphasic this month?
Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: It's only month two of trying and I'm only 10 dpo but can't help but feel a bit disappointed because I got my BFP with DS2 during our first month trying at 8 dpo. That makes it easier to have unrealistic expectations!

I thought about that, but usually if it's triphasic the second phase starts 7-10DPO (after implantation). At least that's what everything I've read about it says. I'm guessing at this point I either O'd later than I thought or it's a random spike due to a cold or it being hot in my room or whatever. Thanks though!!
