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).

Rants/Raves/CS: does anyone else think that FF may be wrong and I actually ovulated on CD 24? I did have a lot of ewcm the few days leading up to cd24, and cramps, but OPKs were just as dark as they had been for cd19 but not positive. Or, it could just be an odd quasi-triphasic...

Month/Cycle: 1/1 (13/12 charting not consistently temping)
CD/DPO: 29/12 or 13?
Timing: -2, 0
Testing Plans: Was going to wait out for AF to not show but may test Friday.
Rants/Raves/CS: Ranting about myself and the fact that I haven't been faithfully temping these past few months. I really wish I knew for sure if/when I IO'd this month. Normally by CD 29 I have pre AF cramps/fatigue but I've got nada so far this month. Of course I just think I'm a SS and totes KU. I really don't feel like POAS for the 13th month and seeing a BFN tho. I think I may cave and POAS on Friday just because it's Labor Day Wknd and we're going to lots of parties with drinking involved.
severmilli12 but DH and I were talking about going there in the Spring!
Testing Plans: Did last night when I got home - nothing there at all. Then I had some wine. AF symptoms, so I wasn't that surprised, but still sad. DH was mad I tested without him home yet. I prefer to be alone in my sorrows. Hope to see AF this weekend (on vacation - joy) - I just don't want her taking forever to come!
Rants/Raves/CS: Nothing, moving on from this cycle. Watched the great sperm race last night, DH caught the tail end, and was very interested, and understands why we need to BD at certain times now....men.

@severmilli12 - I love the Smoky Mountains as well!!

Testing Plans: Waiting for AF. If that bitch is late or a no show, then I will wait until CD40 and pee on all the sticks.
Rants/Raves/CS: Pretty stoked because today is my Friday, which means tomorrow is road trip day! I might be a little MIA over the next week or so. Hope to come back and see some BFP's from you ladies! I think the excitement of my trip has overwhelmed the majority of my symptom spotting, which is helpful. I'm going to try and not think about it over the next week and keep my FX that AF doesn't show - that would really suck anyway if she showed up while we're on the road. So far my only complaints are that BBs are getting increasingly sore and I'm exhausted. Other than that, no usual crankiness before AF, which is always a plus.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? So far, probably either a tiny island off the Gulf of Mexico on the Florida panhandle called St. George Island, or San Diego. St. George Island is out in the middle of nowhere and is truly serene. San Diego is just one of my favorite places to go visit.
Testing Plans: as this is my first cycle, my plan is to wait until AF is late. Who knows how long I'll actually be able to wait.
Rants/Raves/CS: I haven't yet told DH about temping because we're NTNP and I thought the added info would stress him out. But he keeps asking me what that beeping right before I wake up is. :^o It might be time to bring him into the circle of knowledge
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Anywhere with a beach.
DD1: June '16 DD2: March ‘19 :::: Married since 2011 :::: USN Wife ::::
Testing Plans: None. AF will be here today or tomorrow morning.
Rants/Raves/CS: Temp plummeted this morning. Will be going back to WTO any minute now.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Family cabin in Maine, my grandparents have one in the lakes region and we have our own in the white mountains. I prefer the lake house because we have friends and family in the same park so it is always a big party.
Month/Cycle: 1/1 (or is this 2/1 now that it's September? I can't keep track. This cycle started at the end of June for me).
CD/DPO: 36/6
Timing: -1, 0, +1
Testing Plans: Hoping to hold out until 13 dpo (next Tues) if no temp drop or AF. Feeling conflicted b/c testing would be easier at 12 dpo. Since Monday is a holiday, DH and I will be home and he could be there when I test. If I test next Tues and want DH home, I'll have to get up early b/c he leaves for work an hour before I do on Tuesdays.
Rants/Raves/CS: Temp dropped slightly below the coverline today, but it's too early to mean anything I think.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? We went to Greece this year and Santorini was by far the best place I have ever been. The food and scenery were both amazing. I would go back in a heartbeat. Too bad it's so far
Rants/Raves/CS: FF moved my CH from CD28 to CD29. Timing is still ok. The lack of boob aches is really weird. With this being such a weird cycle I keep trying to tell myself that logically its probably not my month. However, the lack of sore boobs,the crazy vivid dreams, and the over abundance of CM post O has turned me into a crazy SS machine. Lord grant me patience!
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Northern Cali in the summer and SC in the fall or winter.
@caseyw8784 - I can see what you mean about your temps on CD24. Crosshairs there would be a little cleaner in terms of pre-O temps being under the line and post-O temps being over the line, but your secondary signs are better for CD19. How high were your post-O temps in previous months and when did you O in previous months?
Testing Plans: Almost caved today, but self control won this time. Really trying to wait out AF. Don't really want to deal with the disappointment of BFNs this cycle.
Rants/Raves/CS: Been kinda bleh yesterday and so far today. Headache and feeling kinda nauseous with some heartburn, but I'm going to equate that with indigestion bc that totally makes more sense. Really isn't helping right now though with the guy who sits right across from me eating cabbage and potatoes for breakfast. :-| I also had some crazy dreams last night. Don't even remember what they were about but I know they happened... And I wish it would stop bc I don't like it.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Usually every fall we head up to a cabin in the Blue Ridge which I love. DH was actually getting ready to book our cabin last night so I'm getting kinda excited.
@dixie7701; Sounds just like what I encountered this month. Normally I have sore boobs right after O, and all the way up until AF starts. This month no sore boobs at all after O. I didn't get them until 9dpo. I'm in the same boat with the vivid dreams and abundance of creamy CM too. Weird. I'm trying to chalk it up to my body just being different this month, and trying not to think too much into it. Hoping this is our month though!
@mrsschmity This whole cycle has been a nightmare over here! I haven't ever in my life had a cycle this long. I know it is 100% due to stress. It's been a really rough month in my personal/family life. I am trying to convince myself that my post O symptoms are just because this WHOLE cycle has been abnormal and I just need to prep for AF to show up. A BFP would be a huge light at the end of a REALLY dark tunnel I've been through this month, though. Crossing Fingers for us!
BB's were sore - but they haven't been sore the last few cycles. It's like my old AF symptoms are returning. (Pimples and AF, but a way better mood). I will take a better mood and sore BB's anyday over being super emotional. This zit on my face - well it can eff off.

Either way - crossing fingers for both of you.
haha my face is SOO bad! I forgot about that! I have problem skin anyway, but right now I have pizza face. It's disgusting.
Chart stalk please!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 33/17
Timing: -3,-2,-1,+1
Testing Plans: none, just waiting for AF
Rants/Raves/CS: I really don't know what's going on. My LP isn't this long normally. I thought AF would be here 2 days ago but no sign yet.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Lake Tahoe. So gorgeous!
@alyssmah Is there any reason that you haven't tested? Your chart looks Triphasic to me....I'd be peeing on all the things by now and I am not one to pee on sticks!
@alyssmah, I would also test! If it's still BFN and your LP isn't usually this long, I'd consider whether or not you possibly O'd on CD23 instead. It seems like you had EWCM for a long time after FF's prediction of O.
Testing Plans: Not until after af is due. I know I will be tempted to POAS as I have in months previously, but last month I waited until AF arrived and didn't test before and it helped me avoid becoming a crazy symptoms spotter.
Rants/Raves/CS: None, just wish my cycle was closer to the "average" 28 day cycle. Happy to see FF crosshairs today on the day I thought was O!!
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? I would say Hawaii! I love everything about it! (I have been to Kauai, Maui, Oahu).
Me: 28, DH: 30 Married July 2014 DX: Severe MFI- 3 failed IUI's, IVF #1 Egg retrieval June 4th 2016, 5 day transfer- BFP Baby Boy! EDD 2/25/2017. Our sweet miracle Carter Bennett arrived 2/12/2017 6 lbs, 2 oz 19 inches. Surprise BFP!!! Baby Girl due 10/1/2018.
@alyssmah I TOTALLY understand! I am not a habitual tester either because seeing the BFN is just so sucky! If you did O on CD23 that puts us in the same boat with the timing. Crossing fingers its our month!! Just a few more days for you to wait though. GL!
Testing Plans: another BFN this morning. I think I am out this month. Oh well, looking forward to another month of a lot of sex I guess!
Rants/Raves/CS: DH is really looking forward to helping me chart next cycle. And he was inquisitive about how cycles work, and FW this weekend. He is very cute how "into" it he is getting. And how he asks me every morning if I peed on a stick
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Anywhere hot, with a beach, and an all inclusive resort. We married in Jamaica, and want to go back in the spring. Hopefully for a babymoon!
Rants/Raves/CS: Just glad to be back in the 2WW again.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? The Caribbean! We have been a few places but I really loved Jamaica.
Me 35, DH 37
Unexplained infertility and TTC since December 2014

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.

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: Debating..... Moving this weekend and selfishly want to check out the area and bars, but think it would be really neat if it would be a BFP to find out the first morning there. AF is due on the 10th.
Rants/Raves/CS: Not actually sure if I O'ed, but think I did and just feel like moving to TWW. I had positive OPKs, but I sucked at temping this cycle and I'm tempted to just stop and start again next cycle. Most of the dots are open and forgot about 1/5 of the time....
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Target? j/k I have not been able to travel much. I did go to Tulum Mexico this year (first and only time out of the country) and I loved every minute of that all inclusive resort.
Rants/Raves/CS: I had a ridiculous number of days with ewcm. We were doing so well with sex EOD. Then got some really bad news and mood = ded.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? We really only ever go to Destin, FL with my in-laws. It's fun, but I can think of places I'd rather go!
June 2016 April Siggy Challenge: Reasons my kid is crying
Rants/Raves/CS: I just want to eat all the snacks.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Smoky mountains. We've been there a few times and got married there. I would like to go west some day, maybe to Colorado or somewhere pretty like that.
@yogahh - I'm already trying to plan a babymoon - lol with no baby! I want to stay in the country though - just in case.
I told DH last night if no BFP by January - we are going on an awesome trip to celebrate our anniversary in April.
I have been DYING to go to Charleston as long as I can remember. Its not DH's cup of tea, but if we cannot leave the country, that's my runner up for a Babymoon. TBH, any reason is good enough for me to plan a trip!
Testing Plans: Beta is scheduled for next Tuesday, 9/8. We are going to Virginia Beach this weekend to visit family. I am debating whether I will test over the weekend. The motivation NOT to test is that I can eat shrimp and drink beer!
Rants/Raves: Feeling very emotional which is likely due to the progesterone. DH works 4 hours away and I dropped him at the airport Sunday night and was a mess. I try not to cry in front of him but couldn't help it.
GTKY: Favorite summer vacation spot is the shore. Favorite winter vacation spot is an all inclusive resort. @yogahh I got married in Negril, Jamaica! Had the best time ever!
CD/DPO: 14/2 Rough guess. FF predicted CD12 as my O day, and I had lots of EWCM during that time, so I`m going with that day. I procrastinated starting temping so much this cycle. I have a BBT, which I will start using as soon as I tell DH. I know he`s gonna poke fun at me for it because we`ve only been TTC for two months.
Timing: -4, -3, 0
Testing Plans: I`m gonna wait till AF is due, so not till the 14th. (Yeah right.)
Rants/Raves/CS: Nothing today.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? My family goes camping every year by a lake up north. It`s on crown land, so there`s never anybody else there. I love it.
@penelope4612 Ovulation has always been CD 18, 19, or 20, so that's why I was all happy with how things were panning out at first. Then when the ewcm stuck around and temps didn't jump, I started second guessing. (Can OPKs stay dark after O? I always thought/assumed they would almost immediately go back to assuredly negative.) As for post-O temps, they sometimes stay in the high 97s for a couple days before jumping over 98, but I don't think they've stayed this close to the coverline before. Thanks for the stalk!

@caseyw8784 - you can have more than one LH surge before O. Were you testing on OPKs around CD24? Try putting in a positive OPK on CD 23 or 24 and see if FF moves your cross hairs (not saying you should keep it like that if you didn't have a positive OPK, but just to see what FF will do...).

I had one wondfo opk left that was about to expire, so I figured "why the hell not?" Lol... Put in + OPKs for both CD 23 and 24; FF didn't do/change anything...I guess that's good? Haha

Rants/Raves/CS: Temp plummeted this morning. Will be going back to WTO any minute now.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Family cabin in Maine, my grandparents have one in the lakes region and we have our own in the white mountains. I prefer the lake house because we have friends and family in the same park so it is always a big party.
CD/DPO: 36/6
Timing: -1, 0, +1
Testing Plans: Hoping to hold out until 13 dpo (next Tues) if no temp drop or AF. Feeling conflicted b/c testing would be easier at 12 dpo. Since Monday is a holiday, DH and I will be home and he could be there when I test. If I test next Tues and want DH home, I'll have to get up early b/c he leaves for work an hour before I do on Tuesdays.
Rants/Raves/CS: Temp dropped slightly below the coverline today, but it's too early to mean anything I think.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? We went to Greece this year and Santorini was by far the best place I have ever been. The food and scenery were both amazing. I would go back in a heartbeat. Too bad it's so far
CD/DPO: 34/5
Timing: -2
Testing Plans: none until AF is officially late
Rants/Raves/CS: FF moved my CH from CD28 to CD29. Timing is still ok. The lack of boob aches is really weird. With this being such a weird cycle I keep trying to tell myself that logically its probably not my month. However, the lack of sore boobs,the crazy vivid dreams, and the over abundance of CM post O has turned me into a crazy SS machine. Lord grant me patience!
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Northern Cali in the summer and SC in the fall or winter.

CD/DPO: 22/10
Timing: -2, 0
Testing Plans: Almost caved today, but self control won this time. Really trying to wait out AF. Don't really want to deal with the disappointment of BFNs this cycle.
Rants/Raves/CS: Been kinda bleh yesterday and so far today. Headache and feeling kinda nauseous with some heartburn, but I'm going to equate that with indigestion bc that totally makes more sense. Really isn't helping right now though with the guy who sits right across from me eating cabbage and potatoes for breakfast. :-| I also had some crazy dreams last night. Don't even remember what they were about but I know they happened... And I wish it would stop bc I don't like it.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Usually every fall we head up to a cabin in the Blue Ridge which I love. DH was actually getting ready to book our cabin last night so I'm getting kinda excited.

Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 33/17
Timing: -3,-2,-1,+1
Testing Plans: none, just waiting for AF
Rants/Raves/CS: I really don't know what's going on. My LP isn't this long normally. I thought AF would be here 2 days ago but no sign yet.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Lake Tahoe. So gorgeous!
@alyssmah Is there any reason that you haven't tested? Your chart looks Triphasic to me....I'd be peeing on all the things by now and I am not one to pee on sticks!
ETA: tag
#meangirls #dfdubclub
Month/Cycle: 5/4
CD/DPO: 28/3
Timing: -4, -3, -2. O, +1
Testing Plans: Not until after af is due. I know I will be tempted to POAS as I have in months previously, but last month I waited until AF arrived and didn't test before and it helped me avoid becoming a crazy symptoms spotter.
Rants/Raves/CS: None, just wish my cycle was closer to the "average" 28 day cycle. Happy to see FF crosshairs today on the day I thought was O!!
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? I would say Hawaii! I love everything about it! (I have been to Kauai, Maui, Oahu).
I tested again just now and still BFN. I think you're right, @penelope4612 That just makes our timing way worse
#meangirls #dfdubclub
CD/DPO: 27/?
Timing: EOD
Testing Plans: another BFN this morning. I think I am out this month. Oh well, looking forward to another month of a lot of sex I guess!
Rants/Raves/CS: DH is really looking forward to helping me chart next cycle. And he was inquisitive about how cycles work, and FW this weekend. He is very cute how "into" it he is getting. And how he asks me every morning if I peed on a stick
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Anywhere hot, with a beach, and an all inclusive resort. We married in Jamaica, and want to go back in the spring. Hopefully for a babymoon!
CD/DPO: 20/4
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing Plans: none. waiting for AF
Rants/Raves/CS: Just glad to be back in the 2WW again.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? The Caribbean! We have been a few places but I really loved Jamaica.

CD/DPO: 20/6ish
Timing: -3,-1,0
Testing Plans: Debating..... Moving this weekend and selfishly want to check out the area and bars, but think it would be really neat if it would be a BFP to find out the first morning there. AF is due on the 10th.
Rants/Raves/CS: Not actually sure if I O'ed, but think I did and just feel like moving to TWW. I had positive OPKs, but I sucked at temping this cycle and I'm tempted to just stop and start again next cycle. Most of the dots are open and forgot about 1/5 of the time....
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Target? j/k I have not been able to travel much. I did go to Tulum Mexico this year (first and only time out of the country) and I loved every minute of that all inclusive resort.
CD/DPO: 27/3
Timing: -4
Testing Plans: none
Rants/Raves/CS: I had a ridiculous number of days with ewcm. We were doing so well with sex EOD. Then got some really bad news and mood = ded.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? We really only ever go to Destin, FL with my in-laws. It's fun, but I can think of places I'd rather go!
CD/DPO: 16 / 4
Timing: -3 -1 +1
Testing Plans: On or about 12dpo
Rants/Raves/CS: I just want to eat all the snacks.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Smoky mountains. We've been there a few times and got married there. I would like to go west some day, maybe to Colorado or somewhere pretty like that.
DX - MFI Antibodies, High DNA fragmentation
IUI #1 November 2015 - 0% Motility
IVF #2 May 2016 - (FAIL/25 eggs, 1 5BB xx, PGS abnormal)
Month 13/Cycle 9
Timing: 0 (1 IUI and 1 BD that night)
Testing Plans: Beta is scheduled for next Tuesday, 9/8. We are going to Virginia Beach this weekend to visit family. I am debating whether I will test over the weekend. The motivation NOT to test is that I can eat shrimp and drink beer!
Rants/Raves: Feeling very emotional which is likely due to the progesterone. DH works 4 hours away and I dropped him at the airport Sunday night and was a mess. I try not to cry in front of him but couldn't help it.
GTKY: Favorite summer vacation spot is the shore. Favorite winter vacation spot is an all inclusive resort. @yogahh I got married in Negril, Jamaica! Had the best time ever!
CD/DPO: 14/2 Rough guess. FF predicted CD12 as my O day, and I had lots of EWCM during that time, so I`m going with that day. I procrastinated starting temping so much this cycle. I have a BBT, which I will start using as soon as I tell DH. I know he`s gonna poke fun at me for it because we`ve only been TTC for two months.
Timing: -4, -3, 0
Testing Plans: I`m gonna wait till AF is due, so not till the 14th. (Yeah right.)
Rants/Raves/CS: Nothing today.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? My family goes camping every year by a lake up north. It`s on crown land, so there`s never anybody else there. I love it.
BFP #1: 9/12/2015

I had one wondfo opk left that was about to expire, so I figured "why the hell not?" Lol...
Put in + OPKs for both CD 23 and 24; FF didn't do/change anything...I guess that's good? Haha
Chart stalk
Month/Cycle:3/3
CD/DPO:18/10

(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Oregon coast
CD/DPO: 23/8
