Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 22/4

Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0, +1

Testing Plans: Waiting until 11 DPO

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I have had a headache for two days straight, probably stress related since work is insane right now. Also, I'm still not convinced that I O'd given this morning's temp dip. I am going to a conference tomorrow so husband and I will just keep doing our thing until I leave tomorrow AM and hope for the best.
GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week?

I'm staffing a conference in Rhode Island for teenagers learning about how to prevent substance abuse in their community. I spent many years working at summer camps so this will be my little fix! It'll be nice to be out of the office with all of the craziness happening right now...two coworkers (of a three person staff!) are leaving mid-August. Which leaves just yours truly. Yikes.

Edited to remove chart because I've been messing with it.

Testing Plans: Wednesday. I will wait til Wednesday. I will wait...

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I woke up at 5 and can't go back to sleep. Wanted to sleep in for my hubby and my day off together

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week? Friends and I are going out on a sailboat charter today. Happy that the weather is nice!

****possible BFP mentioned****

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 27/12

Timing: -5, -2, -1, +1

Testing Plans: I planned to wait after getting negatives on my cheapie Target brand at reasonable times before AF but I couldn't help myself at 4am this morning...I was afraid to look but sure enough, BFP, there was a faint (but definitely there) line on my FRER! It came with a digital to confirm, which an hour later (after guzzling water) was negative sooo...maybe it was too early after and hCG wasn't concentrated enough? I have been awake since, can't sleep. Now I wait in agony until tomorrow morning, ugh.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I'm frustrated that now I have to wait until tomorrow by myself since I have a Big Sister shirt to put on DD as my way of telling DH and don't want to jump the gun...I KNOW there was a line, but I also saw a NO on the digital after...why oh why didn't I just pee in a cup to double test?!

GTKY: What is something you're looking forward to this week? Other than retesting in the AM, finding fun stuff for my classroom, we start back for pre-school the 13th

MrsCaptainBruce · July 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 21/7-8 (I don't chart so this is my estimation from body signals)

Timing: -4, -3, 0, +1

Testing Plans: Trying to wait until right before AF is due which would be 14dpo. My husband is a pilot and he goes away this week and made me promise not to test until he gets back this weekend so that should help motivate me to wait!

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Since this is our first month TTC, I've been symptom spotting like crazy and getting my hopes up. I've been trying to stay busy so the time just passes but being a teacher who is off for the summer makes the days long!

GTKY: I'm looking forward to my husbands parents coming to visit us from out of town. Technically they aren't coming until next Monday but I will be preparing this week! They are arriving right after we test and I'm hoping to surprise them with a bfp!

I would also just like to thank all of you ladies for all of the knowledge you have provided me with over the past few days. I've been lurking in the time before I was allowed to post and this is a wonderful community!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 27/??

Timing: ??

Testing Plans: cd 33 (aka sunday)

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Up at 330am and had the hardest time falling back to sleep. So tired. Sigh.

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week? Today I'm hanging out with my nephew instead of going to work. Wahoo! Bonus- I also have Wednesday off and I'll be competing in Maine's fastest knitter race. Random, I know!

WorkingOnMyNightCheese · July 2015

Fingers crossed for you @imrachellea!

MEA0320 · July 2015

@imrachellea - congrats and good luck with your testing tomorrow!!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 27/9

Timing: -2, -1, 0, +1

Testing Plans: DH "forced" me to test this past weekend, knowing it was too early and it came up BFN. Planning to test again either Friday or Saturday since that will be much closer to when AF is due to arrive.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Headaches but thinking that's just due to the summer time storms we have been getting. Need to also stop symptom spotting.

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week? We are finally not traveling or working late with a million other things happening this week, so looking forward to spending some quality time with DH.

I'm very impressed. It seriously takes me 45 minutes just to cast on for a simple scarf! I can't handle knitting!

FX for testing tomorrow @imrachellea !!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 23/5

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing Plans: trying to hold out until 8/1 (10dpo)...but most likely will break and use cheapies a couple times this week, knowing they'll most likely/definitely be BFNs...what can I say...I guess I like to POAS! FF has my testing day as 8/7...17dpo seems so long! It wasn't that long a wait period last month!

S/R/R/CS: some intermittent cramping. Late last night had some really sharp twinges. BBs are a little tender today. Hd a temp drop yesterday so I was wary but today it spiked back up.

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to this week?
The weekend? Does that count? I feel weird saying that cause I absolutely LOVE my job, but this weekend is going to be fun. I can test on Saturday, and DH and I are meeting up with my sister and her fiancé at a casino resort that's about 1/2 way between us for the weekend. Haven't seen her in a loooong time so I'm really looking forward to it!

crdo · July 2015

Fingers crossed for you, @imrachellea!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 26/10

Timing: -3 to 0

Testing Plans: I tested at 7 and 8DPO. Silly, I know. Basically, I had cheapie tests, wanted to use them, so dang it, I did! Aaaaannnd BFN, duh. Will test Thursday (14DPO) if AF doesn't come Wed.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Temp dropped a hair below the cover line today. I have had a luteal phase of generally 12 +- 1 days (granted only 3 months of chart data). So, I'm driving myself a little nuts with the whole "is it a unicorn implantation dip, or is AF coming" drama. Oof.

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week?

The weekend.

BakerBird525 · July 2015

Congrats @imrachellea!!

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD/DPO: 20/7

Timing: -4, -2, 0, 1

Testing Plans: Wait until 12 DPO

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Finally feeling better since having a head cold so I am seeing my temps start to make more sense and even out a bit. Not really symptom spotting anymore now that I'm on cycle 6, kind of over it I guess.

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week? Poker night this weekend. Two RE appointments this week. Hoping to get a good vibe/news during our consultation on Wed with the second fertility clinic (follow up with first clinic on Fri).

MNturnsVA · July 2015

FX for testing tomorrow @imrachellea !!

Month/Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 30/12

Timing: -4,-2,0,+1

Testing Plans: I tested on 9DPO and got a BFN. I don't plan to test again at this point, especially since my temp dropped pretty significantly this AM.

S/R/R/CS: no major moods or anything but I'm guessing that based on my temp drop this AM we are out this month. I know that its based on a "trend" or pattern of the temps, but also on FF this AM it said between 10-16 days PO if you have a significant temp drop that is an indication the progesterone levels have dropped and AF is going to be coming. Any input on chart is appreciated!

GTKY: what's something you're looking forward to this week?
I second the weekend. Next chance to try to make this work, AF can show up any day now is how I'm feeling and I'd be ok with that because I'm over the wait and not knowing, even though I'm pretty sure we are out this go round.

MNturnsVA · July 2015

https://fertilityfriend.com/home/5b3166/

Let me know if this works, having technical difficulties this AM which is even more frustrating!!!

But I have a question about charting and temp dip- so based on how low it went and if it stays lower over the next few days as I'm aware its based on a pattern, not one specific dip and this applies for the O as well, would I even need to do a HPT if the temps stay low? Also, when it comes to O, if I can determine it by the temps, would I need OPKS to help determine it?? Now that I've seen some of the temp shifts, I think I have an idea of how it works and what to look for. Just wondering if there is anybody that just goes off temp alone? Or temp and CM maybe vs spending on all that $$ on the OPKS.

Thanks ladies!!!

Month/Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: -1

Testing Plans: hoping to hold out til Saturday

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: headache and slightly sore boobs, definitely overthinking things

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week? Not to be debbie downer, but nothing really. My mom had surgery a week and a half ago, and has been back in the hospital the last few days due to complications. The doctor is confident everything will eventually be ok, but she'll likely need another surgery. In the meantime, I'm still staying with my dad (early Alzheimer's, can't stay by himself).

BOH1025 · July 2015

Month/Cycle: 2 (1st month charting)

CD/DPO: 23

Timing:

Testing Plans: none yet

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I know each time I respond to these threads I complain about my chart BUT ff still does not have an O date for me. Does anyone else think it looks like day 15 based on my temps??

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week?

My sister is coming in from out of town for the week today. I talk to her everyday but only see her a few times a year so needless to say, I am stoked!! I am hoping she keeps my mind off of ttc.

blackgirlmagic · July 2015

FX for testing tomorrow @imrachellea

MNturnsVA to me it looks like AF might be coming soon. I'm new to temping to that is a pretty big drop. Maybe some experts will be able to help you out. I'm curious what they are going to say. Hopefully your temps come back up.FX!!!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 26/8

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Testing Plans: Friday morning it AF doesn't show up by then

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: So I am doing my best not to symptom spot at all but yesterday my nipples were so freaking sensitive yesterday. Even wearing a bra bothered them. I have never had that before.

On a better note my temps are moving back up a little at a time. I'm just happy that they are moving upward now. Still not trying to think about it too much.

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week?

I am looking forward to Friday so I can POAS for the first time!!! I'm super excited for that if AF doesn't show up.

BOH1025 · July 2015

@letyourheartbeyourguide I hope your mom feels better soon. Sending hugs!

sunflower071913 · July 2015

Month/Cycle: 10/9

CD/DPO: 32/11

Timing:-1-2 0 +2

Testing Plans: just going to wait for AF

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I had a temp drop this morning, its possibly because I woke up and took my temp earlier and didn't get as much sleep but I tested yesterday and got a BF

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week? Nothing really.. Got a pretty boring week ahead of me

0Face · July 2015

Tentative "congrats" and definite fx for you @imrachellea

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: -3, -1, 0, +1

Testing Plans: Waiting until 13 DPO---not hopeful.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Yeah, so after having a really strange start to my charting for LP (based on 2 months previous), my temp has dropped not below the CL but definitely in line with the last few months. NOW, I wait until tomorrow to see if it drops right about the CL and then I'll know that AF is most likely coming. Which will cause internal tears and external GRIMACE/fake smile. I just keep telling myself "you're just starting out, suck it up!".

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week? Um. H has Thu-Sun off so it'll be nice to spend extra time with him.

MNturnsVA · July 2015

@BOH1025- Why are there no dotted red lines on your chart anywhere?? I am still very new to charting but after I'd put in my temps after at least as many days as you have, I had dotted red lines on my chart.

@rosesmith9- I agree. Based on the fact that I'm on CD 30, and the temp drop, I'm guessing AF is coming. FX crossed for you though!! Hold out as long as you can!! I've totally learned my lesson from this go round. I'm not going to test early anymore!! The disappointment is terrible! FX cross though for you!!

@sunflower071913-hope that AF doesn't come!!

0Face · July 2015

@MNturnsVA I know you didn't call me, but the dotted crosshairs indicate some sort of anomaly with your data---most likely that O date couldn't be confirmed due to temps in your LP or other data.

Also in regard to the charting showing you that AF might be coming, this morning (with the issue with temp drops) I thought "FCK it, I don't want to chart anymore" then realized that I was lying to myself. I love charting, it's very interesting---but when data comes with feelings---I don't like it so much. Ugh. SUCH CONFLICT.

BOH1025 · July 2015

@MNturnsVA this is what I am trying to figure out! Ff says I have not o'd. I am Soooooo confused!!!

sunflower071913 · July 2015

Maybe this is the month for late ovulation lol I ovulated a week later this month

MNturnsVA · July 2015

@ftrMrs0-I didn't know that, but my O date changed from CD 16? to CD 18 and then I got solid red lines. So not everybody gets the red dotted lines on their chart?? Maybe because it was my first time charting this month and temping and all that with FF is another reason that I got the red dotted lines.

I am glad that I've been doing the charting because it has shown me quite a bit that I was not aware of before. So in your opinion, would somebody even need to use OPKS if they've been temping for a few months and get a feeling for how things work with temps/CM?? Or do you think I would even need to bother with a HPT by Wed of this week, especially if temps stay low?? OPKS are expensive and HPTS can add up, so now that this is my first almost full month of doing this, I'm just wondering how necessary the tests may be unless I think I'm going to get a BFP??

I've been in a bad mood ever since I took my temp this AM, but I had a feeling we were out of this month anyways.

Thanks for your insight!

Testing Plans: 10dpo

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I really need to find something to occupy my time because all I want to do is POAS.

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week? Just trying to enjoy my last week of summer before its back to work time.

0Face · July 2015

@MNturnsVA, I would suggest you get on Amazon and purchase the Wondfo packs. You can get lots of OPKs and HCG (HPT) groupings that run about $22-$25 and it's much less expensive than the store bought versions. You can test with 3+OPKs a day without breaking the bank for several days. I would say that the OPK is just a secondary measure to confirm your knowledge about your own body. It's not primary, but it's also just a assurance that what you're witness first-hand (bad pun) is really what's going on.

If you haven't charted for a few months, you may not have the historical data to confirm or deny anything related to your needs or desires to test (HPT), but that being said and glimpsing at your chart, that dip is quite significant---let it ride. Another day or 2 won't be the worst to wait...I can't tell ANYONE how to feel, mostly because I don't follow my own darn advice.

I'm with you on the mood. I feel like I'm down in the dumps now, but trying to reason myself out of it. I need to just let it be and eventually climb out by days' end (hopefully).

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: meh. I've got nothing. Settling in for the wait, not feeling confident this cycle. Though I O'd 9 days earlier than last month, so at least we can try again sooner.

Testing Plans: Friday morning. If I get a BFN I'll wait until Monday.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I feel like crap. I'm pretty sure I'm getting sick. I couldn't fall asleep last night and then didn't wake up to my alarm to temp this morning until an hour after I normally temp. Ugh.

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week?
Giving our friends their puppy back that we've been watching for them. It's driving me insane!

0Face · July 2015

@JessicaB0627 you're clearly a saint for watching that pup. You had it for quite some time, yes?

imrachellea · July 2015

Thanks so much for the thoughts ladies! I couldn't handle the wait, I had to go get more tests and pray I could get a result even without FMU...and we have a verified BFP! I'm giddy :-D Thank you so much for everything and I hope to see many more on April 16!!!

letyourheartbeyourguide · July 2015

Congrats @imrachellea !!! So exciting!

MNturnsVA · July 2015

@ftrMrs0- yea, I've been debating about the wondfo's......I was gifted a 10 pack of wondfo HPT's but they are supposed to expire this month?

I have 7 of the clear blue easy advanced @ home too. I bought a 10 pack and then out of sheer curiosity I used one my first month off BC and again the 2nd month? I think? I was just wanting to know how it all worked, not knowing that with those you have to use them consistently or you will get a negative every time you use them.....silly me.

I think if my temp stays low I will skip the POAS for HPT.

My emotions have been so all over the place with this whole TTC business. I want to get a BFP like yesterday and at the same time, I'm scared and we are going out of town over Labor Day and I want to drink while we are traveling.....stupid stuff really because the BFP is what I really want more than anything. My mood has slightly improved already from what it was this AM. I hope the day gets better for you!!

lalalorelai · July 2015

@iamrachellea -- CONGRATS!!!!! I'm so happy for you! Happy and healthy 9 months

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 22/7

Timing: -1 & 0

Testing Plans: None because I'm 90% sure I'm out for this month...

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I posted this yesterday, but I had a second temp shift 4 days after what I *thought* was my O day. Temps are still high so I think I had the wrong O date and missed my FW. I'm trying to hold on hope (FF hasn't changed my crosshairs yet) but I think it's just wishful thinking at this point. Big temping fail. I'm trying to be positive -- I probably should have waited a month after my IUD removal anyway. Now just waiting for AF to show up and start fresh! I need to get serious about checking my CM next month.

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week? Not much, honestly. Just working for the weekend!

JessicaJM2015 · July 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

Testing Plans: I wasn't going to test until next Thursday (8/6) but FF says I could test Tuesday (8/4). Idk what I will do yet.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: No symptoms and my chart isn't doing anything real exciting. Test have stayed elevated and haven't really moved. However, my acne is back full force, ugh! I woke up in a really crabby mode so hopefully I can shake it!

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week? I have a two hour massage today, which I am beyond excited for! The rest of the week will be spent cleaning because we have our house warming on Saturday. I am hoping that the massage will bring my mood around!

chicandbubbly · July 2015

Hope you all had a great weekend! @imrachellea I hope you get good news tomorrow! Best of luck.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 27/3

Timing: -2, -1 (2x), O

Testing Plans: I don't think I will be testing until about 3 days after AF is due (if AF doesn't arrive). I am traveling across country all next week so I will be trying not to symptom spot like crazy, thankfully I will be far away from the pee sticks.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: Finally got the crosshairs on FF this morning so that was good. Super excited to be going on vacation the end of the week, not so excited about being in the TWW during vacation- we will be around a bunch of people who are big drinkers. I haven't completely given up alcohol yet, but I have definitely been limiting/cutting back and they will for sure be commenting if I am not drinking. Already plotting my responses. Haha.

Also, my DH and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary this past weekend and my MIL after a dinner out makes the comment about how she was waiting for an announcement. I was so thrown off that I just said "hopefully soon" with a laugh.

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week? Vacation! My DH has been working a ton these last few weeks so it will be awesome to spend some quality time together.

Month/Cycle:2/2

CD/DPO: CD 29

Timing: -5, -3, 0 or -4, -2, 1, maybe.

Testing Plans: Probably not happening.

Symptoms/Rants/Raves/Chart Stalk: I am spotting again today, but I haven't had a temp drop on my chart. After spotting yesterday I was sure I would have a temp drop today but I didn't. Does anyone NOT get a temp drop before AF? I'm pretty sure all of the charts I've looked at on here and in TCOYF show the drop. If I hadn't starting temping I would have sworn I was starting AF today. I haven't been temping all month so O is a complete guess, but if anyone cares to Chart Stalk here's My Chart

GTKY: What's something you're looking forward to this week?

My last day of home health for the summer is tomorrow. Then I get to start focusing on going back to school. Staff goes back Aug. 7th and students start Aug. 13th. I'm glad I'm going to have a few days to get myself together before I start back (and my birthday is Aug. 4th so I won't have to work that day!).

Edited to fix my chart link.
