Timing: -4, -1 (should have been -2 but my DH had his all important fantasy football draft then had to leave town on Monday morning)
Testing Plans: Progesterone test 7dpo and will decide whether or not I need to test after I get those results. If I ovulated then I hope to wait until 12 dpo
Rants/Raves: I'm feeling better about this month's cycle since it was my first medicated one. Just hoping and praying that we got our bfp
GTKY: My favorite vacation spot has to be NOLA. We went for the first time this year and it was amazing. We only got to stay for 3 days since we had to get to Destin for a wedding. We will definitely be going back!
Testing Plans: probably will just keep testing on wondfos until 9 dpo when I bring out the big guns (FRER) that is if I don't see AF's ugly face first
R/R/CS: Really need a haircut, but there are no appointments available at the place I want to try - I'm thinking long bob with side bangs.
GTKY: I love this question and reading everyone's answers is giving me so many great vacation ideas! I grew up going to South Carolina and Lake Michigan (both chill and fun), our honeymoon was in Puerto Rico, and I would love to go back to explore a different part of the country, we go to Fire Island a lot, and recently had a bomb vacation to New Orleans. Oh, vacation, you beautiful thing. I need one, stat.
Testing Plans: Only if my temp doesn't drop in the next week.
Rants/Raves/CS: I am so confused!!! I got my dotted CH this morning for CD23, but it really looks like it should have been CD20...My temps got thrown off on CD21 because I was sick with Strep and had a temp of about 101 and FF wouldn't include it (I did not discard it). I'm really really sad if it really is CD23, because it makes our timing awful! I don't use OPKs (Will be purchasing for the next cycle pending AF).
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? I'm in agreement with everyone that said the Smokies!!! We went to Gatlinburg 1-3x every year when I was growing up...Its also where DH and I went on our first vacation together...Take me back! My family always uses Cobbly Nob to book...Its wonderful!
Rants/Raves/CS: looking like my temp is dropping so either I really didn't ovulate or after is coming. Take a look at my chart please
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? Oregon coast
Are you temping at the same time every day?? Are you temping orally or vaginally? You have a lot of open circles. It seems like you O'd super early. That's possible, but definitely not the norm. How long are your cycles normally? If your chart is accurate that gives you a 22 day cycle (assuming 14 day luteal phase). Something isn't adding up to me.
Testing Plans: I'm pretty sure I'm not KU, so only if AF is actually late this month
Rants/Raves/CS: We were HIO like crazy during what I thought was my FW, unfortunately, I do not know my body as well as I thought, and I missed it, I was doing all the things, but man do I have a lot to learn.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? I'm a huge fan of the STAYcation.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart..." Jeremiah 1:5a
Testing Plans: I tested yesterday evening with a Walmart cheapie and thought I saw something faint so I tested with an FRER this morning and saw another faint line. It was one of the new ones with the curved handle so I'm still a little unsure but I will keep testing in the next few days.
Rants/Raves/CS: I'm a teacher and went into the mailroom this morning and there was a picture of a positive pregnancy test on the door with Guess Who at the bottom. Really?! It just seemed very attention grabbing and I was just wondering who does that.
(Stolen from WTO) GTKY: What is your favorite vacation spot? I love Hilton Head Island so that would be my favorite local vacation spot. My DH and I have been to a few all inclusive resorts near Cancun and those have been wonderful too.

Hilton Head is one of my favorite spots too, but definitely not local for me. We will be out there for Thanksgiving for 10 days and I can NOT wait!
@dixie7701 I'm not sure what my normal cycles are I got off birth control in February got pregnant in April. I temp but not enough those months to know, then I had a miscarriage may 23 had a 48 days before I bled, then my next one I temped believe it was anovulatory it was 40 days before I bled. So this cycle my temp was up early but I had a minor cold so that might be why. My temp for today went back up to 97.71.so not sure what is really going on probably still messed up from the miscarriage.

@CUtiger09 Congratulations!! That is hilarious about the creepy pregnancy test photo at work. That person seems crazy or else they rifled through your bathroom trash and are outing you.

Rants/Raves/CS: I've apparently been using the term 'nose drive' inappropriately. I learned what it means this morning when my temp proceeded to drop lower than any other temp I've ever had. I still have light spotting too. I'm very frustrated this cycle. I don't even know what to make of it.

It was so weird and random. I was surprised that nobody else seemed to be commenting on it. She didn't seem like she was crazy but I may have to reevaluate!
@raesmith9 sorry, that was poor sarcasm on my part. I Called my temp drop yesterday a nose dive and it was nothing compared to today which was even worse, so just referring to the crazy dive it took this morning.
Timing: -4 and -3 per FF. I was really confused with the timing this month as I aimed for CD 14. CD 16 I had a drop and then a shift. Not having high hopes if my OD is CD 17.
Testing Plans: I tested today with BFN. I had the worst indigestion, my throat was burning. Maybe my OD was wrong haha. Nope just bad indigestion. I never get indigestion either! Will wait till AF suppose to be here Friday.
Rants/Raves/CS: Blah Blah Blah is how I feel. I have more PMS symptoms than ever haha. I've never noticed any of this stuff before. Now my boobs hurt, I got indigestion, I'm bloated like crazy, some pain for like 5 days in my right pelvic area. My temp took a dive today and yesterday, see what tomorrow brings.

Month/Cycle: 2/1 (Although it's sad LMP was in July)
CD/DPO: 37/5-6
Timing: All the days
Testing Plans: Trying to hold out until 10DPO, but chances are that won't happen. I'll probably pee on a wondfo in a couple days out of sheer curiosity.
Rants/Raves/CS: Yet another open circle due to an earlier wake-up, although a nice temp above CH line. Although I want to be further along DPO, I missed out on -3 if DPO6, but only -4 if DPO5. Also was hyperaware of how my body was feeling today. Feeling dull cramps off and on that are typical of PMS or KU. Bloated and constipated, too. I had a dream last night my nipples were sore, so even my subconscious seems to be symptom spotting.
