Rants/Raves/CS: My temp was down this morning but still above cover line. I had a little spotting that I assume was the start of AF, but it subsided; so now I'm psyching myself out. This is the first time I have had a luteal phase that lasted more than 9 days; so that's something. Today was the day after my period was due, and my boobs are so sore still. If I get more spotting, I'll trudge back over to WTO, but for now I'll remain hopelessly optimistic.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? Don't have any.
Testing Plans: Thursday when af is due, hoping I can wait it out.
Rants/Raves/CS: Temp dropped about .3 degrees this morning . Hopefully it will spike back up tomorrow. My boobs have been sore for four days now and cramping on and off.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? We are starting a new tradition this year, our new neighborhood has a labor day block party every year so we will be eating and drinking and meeting all of the neighbors.

Testing Plans: probably will start now at 9dpo. DH wanted to start today and I told him absolutely not.
Rants/Raves/CS: Temp has been creeping down the past few days. I'm hoping to see it spike back up tomorrow. I'm trying to not read much into it but I'm not having much luck in that department.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition?
Sleeping in! But honestly we have never done much on Labor Day.
Testing Plans: I've been testing every day except today since 9 DPO. BFN. I will prolly test again tomorrow if no AF.
Rants/Raves/CS: I got my mirena out in early August and this is my first month off bc and first month temping. my chart is a hot mess of up and down mountains. So I'm just trying to remind myself I need to figure out my cycle (I have no idea how long my cycle is at all!) and not pee on all the sticks. My boobs are super tender today though and no AF in site.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? I used to work retail and was never off. Now I work an office job and have a long 4 day weekend, so we BBQ with the family.

Testing Plans: temps are very similar to last month at this time so not until I'm at least late.
Rants/Raves/CS: my brother's manager through a folder and hit him in the face, my brother quit, and my mother got mad at him (my brother). So there's that... Other than that, my brother had a jerk friend who has a criminal record that I joke about, and his poor little friend got all butt hurt about it. I'm like too bad so sad, shouldn't have told me, because I'm going to burn you on your stupidity.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? TBH I don't have any. DH is a restaurant manager, so he hasn't had a Labor Day off pretty much ever.

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
Testing Plans: Not until 1 week past when AF is due
Rants/Raves/CS: Okay ladies I could use some help. how much do you ladies rely on CM to determine O? I don't temp yet so I don't have that info, but based on FF and tracking everything aside from that it says I had O today. Would love a chart stalk, and any advice would ease my mind!
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition? Poolside with chips/dip, pizza, beer & friends!

Rants/Raves/CS: Nursing a hangover from my brother in law's wedding last night. Blerghhhh.
GTKY: What's your favourite Labor Day tradition?
We don't have a tradition other than spending time at a BBQ with family!
Testing Plans: AHHH! I'm itching to test but I'm trying to force myself to wait until EP next Monday!!!!
Rants/Raves/CS:I'm so ready to be pregnant and my timing could have been a little more aggressive. I'm anxious it will be a BFN (I know it's only cycle 1 - I'm just anxious!) so I'm trying not to POAS too early to minimize the BFNs in my life to not be extra sad since I know it's too early now anyway even if I'm PH. Ugh I'm back in this place!

I wasn't sure where to post this but on timing, is the "O" the day you ovulate based on temping or the day you get a positive on the OPK? Don't you usually ovulate the day after you get the positive OPK?
Sorry to get you all excited ladies, long story short, I am currently experiencing bleeding and am probably going to miscarry. Thank you for your excitement and congratulations. It was apparently not the right time yet.
