Re: TWW Monday
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0
Testing Plans: testing every day. BFN again today.
Rants/Raves/CS: I'm starting to think this might not be my cycle though my temps are very high (triphasic). I feel like if I was going to be KTFU this cycle, I would have my BFP by now. Sad times but Disney next week will help!
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? Where I grew up all of our neighbors got together on Labor Day and had an ice cream party. School always started for us the day after Labor Day so as kids we comiserated with our ice cream and our parents celebrated summer being officially over.

CD/DPO: 34/5
Timing:
Testing Plans: No testing plans this cycle.
Rants/Raves/CS: My first cycle after MC, so had to sit this one out. Cannot wait for it to be over, but at least I will have a proper chart after this cycle to compare future charts with.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? I am South-African, so unfortunately we don't have this holiday. Must admit I am a bit jealous.
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 43/11
Timing: ED
Testing Plans: Continue getting BFNs until AF
Rants/Raves/CS: Woke up at 4am for no reason and then my wake-up at 6, so another unreliable temp for me. All 11 have been above CL. I've resigned myself to the fact this is likely not my cycle; I needed a good slap in the face to remind me that it may not be as easy as TTC#1. However, now that I'm actually temping/knowing O, etc., it's more discouraging while empowering. Weird. I just hope AF comes sooner rather than later so these ridiculous symptoms will go away and I can get started on my next long cycle.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? Not having to go to work.
CD/DPO: 18/3
Timing: -4, -2, 0
Testing Plans: many days from now. I drove myself nuts testing last cycle.
Rants/Raves/CS: I just started temping this cycle, and I got crosshairs this morning. It was the day before I would have thought, but the temps don't lie. It's attached, if you want to take a look.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? Nothing really. I like having the day off to spend with my family.
CD/DPO: 21/3
Timing: -2, O
Testing Plans: 9DPO - ONLY b/c I have some expiring that I bought when we first started trying. Perspective for all those ladies who've been "TRYING FOR 4 MONTHS SHOULD I GET TESTED?!" I'm sorry no sympathy today. I work in the church nursery every week. You can do this! I know you can!
Rants/Raves/CS: what's with all of these chart stalk posts this weekend? It's a little AW to me and we used to direct them here... Maybe I'm just grumpy. This whole post makes me look grumpy lol
@youenjoymyself - I think you got those CH b/c of OPK, maybe take the OPKs out & see... I agree day14 looks better, but only w/o OPK
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? I'm starting a new one today! I'm doing the Texas Rangers Labor Day 5k!!
SA for DH pending.
CD/DPO: 25/7
Timing: -2, -4
Testing Plans: later
Rants/Raves/CS: my boobs have been tender for like 2 days. Wtf?
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition?
4 years ago I got married over Labor Day weekend so I guess my anniversary is my favorite tradition
Month/Cycle: 4/2
CD/DPO: 38/3
Timing: -7(x2), -5, -2, +1
Testing Plans: My LP last moth was 10 days so next Tuesday
Rants/Raves/CS: Im so happy
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? I don't really have one. Just enjoy myself .
Eta:tag
SA for DH pending.
CD/DPO: 74/4?
Timing: ED
Testing Plans: 12 DPO
Rants/Raves/CS: Temperature is still high - up 0.1 degree from yesterday, and yet, FF still hasn't detected ovulation for me. Based on temps, I O'd 4 days ago. Just.... give me something FF! Anything!
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition?
I don't actually have any Labor Day traditions. Although, I don't think I've had to work the past few years on Labor Day, so... that'll be a good tradition I'm totally fine with continuing!
Chart stalk me? I started the phase based on my LKMP which was a good two months ago. I just got off of Nexplanon on the 25th of August. I'm not sure if I should have changed the cycle-start date, or... Obviously this would've been easier if we would've waited to TTC until I had a period after removal, but.. I'm not a patient person!
Chart link, because my chart is a monster right now: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5e5635

PG #2, EDD 10/12/2023
SA for DH pending.
DS: 9/18/12 - 40w5d // DD: 05/17/16 - 40w
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: -3, -2, 0
Testing Plans: I will try to hold out until the 17th or 18th if no AF
Rants/Raves/CS: I'm happy for a Monday off of work then another short week!
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? For the past few years I have always worked on Labor Day and I went to a college that always started classes on Labor Day, so no traditions anymore really. When I was little we used to have our last big family picnic of the summer.
SA for DH pending.
I do have LF that are on the shorter side (but still normal length, I believe). They're typically between 11-13 days.
DS: 9/18/12 - 40w5d // DD: 05/17/16 - 40w
CD/DPO:27/7
Timing: -4, -1
Testing Plans: Getting my progesterone levels done this morning, leaving in the next few minutes. Please say a prayer/ keep your fingers crossed! I'm hoping for some big numbers!!! If I get low numbers, I won't even bother testing I will just wait out af. If I get some high numbers I'm going to go and buy about ten sticks to pee on
Rants/Raves/CS: I really wish that my husband didn't get called in on a job today. He's getting paid triple time but I really wanted to go to the botanical gardens. He reminded me though that if he makes a bunch of money this week it just means more money for our anniversary next week!
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? Obviously, I love not having to go to work but we have another tradition that I love too. I cook way too much food and invite over as many friends as possible. This year we have creamy chicken chilli, balsalmic watermelon and feta bites, caprese salad, pumpkin cookies, and homemade ice cream. I know we're supposed to barbeque but I don't barbeque and since the husband is working I'm changing up the menu a little bit.
CD/DPO: CD 27
Timing: Not sure since my first temp day was on CD 18 (started as soon as my thermometer arrived) but I'm hoping I hit -4, -2, 0, +1.
Testing Plans: I'm holding off on testing until I've reached CD 40 since I usually test early and then get my period at CD 35. At least I buy dollar store tests so I'm not wasting a ton of money.
Rants/Raves/CS: Tracking cervical fluid is really confusing, I'm not sure I'm temping right, and I'm feeling overall insecure. On a positive note, thank you for the TTGP Guide because I had no idea what the TWW threads were talking about before I finally read it today!
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? We usually camp and/or canoe over Labor Day, but we're helping pack up my husband's grandmother's house today because she's in hospice. It might be a hard day for the family, but I'm happy I can be there to help. I hope everyone else has a great Labor day or regular Monday, whichever it may be

GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition?
We really don't have a tradition but today the hubby and I are laying low and relaxing
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 33/8
Timing: -1
Testing Plans: I can't help myself...Probably everyday until AF shows or I get a BFP...
Rants/Raves/CS: Chart attached...The massive dip from yesterday had to have been from such cold sleeping conditions in our hotel room thanks to my DH...And with today's temp, I'm still hopeful.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition?
This is the firsr time in a long time that I haven't had to work! This year I have a couple of our nieces over and I think it will be a new tradition! Except for next year because our anniversary will fall on Labor Day due to it being a Leap Year.
Month/Cycle:4/4
CD/DPO: 23/approximately 10
Timing: 0 (husband working nights and beginning of the school year meant minimal bd)
Testing Plans: none
Rants/Raves/CS: husband and I are debating putting off ttc to January or February. I know we shouldn't but we were offered a once in a lifetime trip to South Africa next summer. We wouldn't mind being pregnant for it but couldn't be too pregnant nor could we have a baby for it.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition?
I work over seas now so today was just a regular work day for us over here. As a kid though, we'd spend the whole day at the pool as it was the last day it was open.

Hey you guys, I got a second line. Its there, I can see it, husband can see it, it's there. I have a call into my Dr to discuss next steps tomorrow.
I am not going to get too excited until it's confirmed and it makes it past 6 week mark where I lost my last pregnancy. However if you all want to get excited, I am tots KTFU.
Edited for typing.

Rants/Raves/CS: my temps are staying up so that's great! I've been a bit nauseous lately but I'm attributing that to post-cruise motion sickness. I'm trying very hard not to symptom spot.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? Disneyland! No but really, I went to Disneyland on this day 5 and 7 years ago. If no Disneyland then BBQ and swimming with friends
Eta: Congrats @KristieA!!!

GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? We always have a big BBQ at my mom and dads with my family and all of our neighbors that we grew up with. We eat lots off food and get a big volleyball game going. Looking forward to that today!

Testing Plans: My answer to this changes every day. Maybe I'll wait until the morning of the stag and doe to see if I can drink.
Rants/Raves/CS: Trying hard not to SS, but my boobs have been very tender for two days now. I'm probably making it worse by poking at them.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? I don't remember ever having a real tradition, except not working. I think maybe the fair used to be in town this weekend when I was a kid.
