Testing Plans: Whenever I get my tests in the mail! And then every day until AF comes or I get a positive!
Rants/Raves/CS: Temp stayed up at 98.9. Gradually climbing, apparently. I'm like... every time I need a distraction from school work, I either look at cute puppies on the internet, or stalk the TTC boards. And, of course, I found this adorable Pitt/German Shepherd mixed litter that's being given away for free and I'm like... *want cute cuddly thing please!* Anyways.
GTKY: Let's talk about hair. Long, short, straight, curly? Brown or blonde?
I used to have long hair - like almost to my bum. And then I chopped a lot of it off, so I'm down to medium length hair.
It's wavy. But not like that sexy beach wave - it's an unruly, sticks-all-over wavy that looks horrible when it's humid. Naturally my hair is brown. I wanted to colour it last month and DH told me I would look horrible with blonde hair, so I figured... he's been telling me I have black hair for 3 years now - so I actually coloured it black. He said there was very little difference. Everyone at work saw a huge difference (as did I). So I'm like.. colour blind to dark shades, hunny?
Rants/Raves/CS: I can't think of anything else... I can't imagine doing this month after month. I've been off the pill for 2 years, and we were hoping the 'pull out' method would result in an 'accidental' pregnancy. Since it hasn't and we're 'trying' I'm feeling very impatient... If I were fertile wouldn't we have had an 'accident' by now? Please please please let this happen quickly! I can already tell my husband doesn't like the emphasis I'm putting on TTC and yet I can't seem to shut the heck up about it!
I'm completely confused now -- are you actually trying, or are you "trying"? Are you off birth control, or are you using the pull out method in an attempt to have an "accident"? Which... why would you be "trying" to have an "accidental" pregnancy? It's not an accident if you're trying... Like I said. Confused. x_x
Edited. School work fries my brain. I can't type today.
Testing Plans: I tested today and got a BFN but AF isn't due until Monday so I tested a little early...
Rants/Raves/CS: I was bummed this morning for caving and testing early
GTKY: Let's talk about hair. Long, short, straight, curly? Brown or blonde? Long dark brown almost black hair with a lot of grey. Thank goodness for hair dye

@fitlady21, not to get your hopes up, but maybe an implantation dip and implantation spotting? 6dpo would be an extremely short LP. FX for temps back up above coverline tomorrow!
When we got married we agreed we didn't want to plan a pregnancy or any of the pressure of trying. We wanted it to happen serendipitously as a happy surprise... We're married and bought a house near a good school, but we don't want to pressure each other or let any stress into our bedroom. I got off the pill 2 years ago and we started pulling out. Then the past few months without discussing it we starting pulling out only most of the time. When I told him I was disappointed that my period came last month, he agreed we should start more actively trying- never pulling out, having more frequent sex timed to land on and around my fertile days. I guess we just naively thought there would be no need to put any effort toward trying. We weren't really trying before this month, just would have been glad to end up pregnant. Now we're trying and timing and planning... It's already stressful though. We just wanted all rainbows and fairytales and I guess we need to address reality and be more responsible for what does or doesn't happen.

Of course that was my first thought but this is my first month temping so my LP could be that short.. I don't know. Thanks for responding though!
Testing Plans: I said not until I'm late, but I POAS last night, BFN, so I'll probably do it again today, I can't help myself.
Rants/Raves/CS: I'm testing, even though our timing was junk, I need to get a grip. Also, we are house hunting, and I found this amazing house, e-mailed about it, and got the most ridiculous response. It was a soup of elipsis and multiple question marks following pretty much every *I'm using this term in its loosest sense* sentence. The house is great, but I'm not sure I want to enter into a contract with a basically illiterate over-punctuator. Rants over.
GTKY: Let's talk about hair. Long, short, straight, curly? Brown or blonde? Long-ish, a few inches past my shoulders, brown, straight, and extremely thick.

So NTNP... sort of, haha. I get it now. Unfortunately, there's such a low chance of getting pregnant even in your fertile window, that "getting lucky" is really a horrible way of TTC.
Oh man, the symptom spotting struggle is real today. I was hoping to wait until this weekend, but if AF doesn't show up by the time I go home from work I'm testing today just to try and make myself stop.

Testing Plans: Tested this morning, thought I saw super squinter but now I'm pretty sure my eyes were playing tricks on me. Took another test tonight, BFN. So, I'm pretty sure AF is coming tomorrow or Friday.
Rants/Raves/CS: Nothing really. Bumming pretty hard right now because I thought we had great timing this month. On the bright side, next week we are going to a 5 course dinner/tequila tasting next week so I guess I can partake in the tequila.
GTKY: Let's talk about hair. Long, short, straight, curly? Brown or blonde?
Rants/Raves/CS: HUGE temp drop today and I don't know why. Insight would be awesome. I know "you're regular 'till you're not" but my LPs are always at least 13 days and my cycles haven't been under 30 in years. Some insight would be great! The two open circles are from sleeping in and temping later. Chart Link

Auburn hair (where my redheads at?!) and it was shoulder length until a few weeks ago when I cut it all off. Now it's in between a bob and pixie. A bixie?

Anyhoo, I do agree with FF. Day 37 looks more legit than 35 due to the temperatures are almost all trending above the majority of your pre-O temps
CD/DPO: 14/1

Rants/Raves/CS: first month trying and excited to be here! Month 1 went really well so hoping these next 2 weeks go fast!

Blonde medium length, wavy, pain in my butt!

I think it's an implantation dip since its 7DPO, but there could be outside factors messing with your temps, prob too soon for AF! FX!
