Testing Plans: I have officially given up testing and waiting for AF! I'm ready for a new month.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My DH gets back from his best friends stag do in Germany today. We are then starting a detox to get healthy for TTC. He will probably last all of 5 minutes! My chart has dipped today so I think AF is fast approaching.
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? I laugh everyday with my DH...he drives me crazy but wouldn't have it any other way.
Hello ladies! First post here after lurking for a couple of months. Here I go!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 17/3
Timing: -4, -2, 0
Testing Plans: Telling myself I'll wait until AF is due, and trying not to cave before then.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: First solid CH this month after a slow temp rise. Last month I had a much more aggressive temp spike so was thinking I just didn't O this month. I guess the slow rise coupled with + OPK results gave FF more faith in my temps than I had!
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He is the most positive person I know, and is capable of laughing when everything in life seems to suck.
Testing Plans: The whitest of the white BFNs this morning. I'll test every day until AF.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I'm convinced that I'm out. I was feeling really optimistic about this month, too. At least I'll be able to drink at my brother's wedding next weekend, I guess. My Mabis thermometer is arriving today (yeah, Amazon Sunday delivery), so I'm going to start temping.
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He's always so focused on making everyone else happy. He's a really giving person.
Testing Plans: 2 bfns, but this is my first month off BCP so who knows when AF is due...I probably will try to hold out until next Friday if AF doesn't show
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I tested earlier because my temps were so high, but I see a little dip...really just want to start AF because we are officially TTC next month! Hopefully my cycles will get shorter as I regulate
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? I love how supportive and motivating he is! Yesterday we ran out first 5k and he can run much faster and longer than I can, but he stayed on my pace and just encouraged me the entire time!
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: while I really hate that me being sick put me out for this month, it has been the best learning experience in charting (and patience! Lol)
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He has the best sense of humor. Never a dull moment with this guy!

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: BFN yesterday...not even a possible squinter...kinda makes me feel like I should just count myself out now. My temps are still above CL but have been weird the last few days. I keep looking at charts on FF for hope LOL
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? he keeps me organized..I can be a very forgetful person and he balances that by just doing what needs to be done or by reminding me
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0
Testing Plans: The whitest of the white BFNs this morning. I'll test every day until AF.

GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He's always so focused on making everyone else happy. He's a really giving person.
Testing plans: Getting harder and harder to hold out. Going to try to wait til Tuesday.
R/R/CS: Nothing today. Other than my house is a mess and I really want to clean it but I have to go to work today. I told DH to but I highly doubt that'll happen.
GTKY: What do you love most about DH? He makes me laugh everyday and we support each other no matter what.
Testing Plans: BFN this morning, I ordered some tests and the will be in Wednesday. I have one more dollar store test, but I'm going to try to wait a few days and see what my temp does.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I'm not sure of my O date. I got a +OPK on CD 20&21, but FF still has my CHs on CD 20. The OPKs before that were definitely negative. Any thoughts? O date is later or does FF have it right?
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? His ability to make simple things fun adventures for our kids.
Testing Plans: None unless that biatch AF doesn't show her face - if she's late and temps stay high I'll POAS
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I love Sunday mornings. The air is crisp and there's a nice breeze, so I've got all the windows open and getting ready to make spaghetti sauce. I'm canning like 15 quarts, so this gonna be an all day process. H has to work again. Boo. So I have to enjoy this steaming cup of coffee by myself today. The last two mornings I had a ton of creamy CM...like to the point where I felt wet and noticed it without having to check internally. Could be anything, just odd for this point in my cycle. My temps continue to rise, so all I can do is hope they stay up there. Still way too early to SS since I'm only 5 dpo, but secretly hoping this creamy CM and high temps means something
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? His sense of humor and stability. We always find something to laugh about, and he is the hardest working, most loyal and unwavering man I know.
welp I'm probably out now....spotting started and AF will likely be full blown by tonight or tomorrow... I was really hoping this was the month (I know it's ONLY my 2nd) but just so I could tell my co-worker who made fun of me for temping to shove it because this ish works..
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I just don't know what is up with my body this month. I was feeling pretty good because I was so sure that I O'ed CD23 (+OPK, good CM, temp dip) and BD was timed ok (-3, 0, +1, if I did O on CD23) but then my temps rose and then dipped again. I just got dotted CH this morning for CD28 and I've have very minor spotting the last few days. I'm hoping against the possibility that FF is right but I have a feeling AF is going to show up in the next few days.
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? DH is the most supportive, loyal, and loving man I've ever been with. He and I also share the same sense of humor and he loves all my corny puns.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I finally got my CH this morning!!!!! I'm happy with our timing. Hopefully it's good enough.
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? I love how sweet he is. He is the most sweetest and caring person I have met and he is willing to do anything and everything to make me happy. He shows me so much respect. He's just amazing.

Afton Noelle born 4/10/19 at 38w5d via natural VBAC
Testing Plans: BFN again this morning. I know it's still early though.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Temps are staying up. I usually have a small drop around 9 dpo and then get a big drop at 10 dpo, so fingers crossed that my temps are still up tomorrow morning and that this is our month!
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? That he puts up with all of my weirdness and craziness and that he considers my best friends his best friends too. He is truly my best friend and soulmate!
Testing Plans: tested last night with a walgreens blue dye test and it was a faint positive. I didn't believe it because it got HORRIBLE reviews about false positives online. I actually barely slept thinking about a false positive. Tried again today with a FRER and a very clear BFP!!!!!!!
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: nothing!
GTKY: What do you love the most about DH? He makes me a better person. He brings me back to reality when I go crazy.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I am not sure that I should trust my temps. I have been sick with a cold the majority of this month, and my temps have been all over the place. I drank the last two nights, so I'm not sure if that is responsible for the high temps? FF thinks I O'd CD 12 (last month it was CD 25), but I still have plenty of fertile CM. WWYD?
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? His sense of humor and how much he loves me.
Testing Plans: 2 more days! At 13 Dpo when AF is due
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: This morning my nipples have been randomly getting super hard and then soft and then super hard again! To the point where it hurts if they're hard or soft and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? We're always laughing together! ☺️
Testing Plans: Trying my best to wait until AF is due on Saturday (but will probably cave around Wednesday)
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Today was my third day temping. I had consistent 98.17 yesterday and the day before, and this morning got a 97.73. Woke up DH and started crying and telling him it was over for this month, then did some chart stalking on FF, and realized I'm being an absolute nut-case over three data points - which don't even come close to making any kind of chart or pattern. *Deep breath* I need to calm the eff down! 6 more days...
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He's just my favorite person to spend time with - he's my best friend and a good man. But also, HE COOKS. EVERY DAY. And he likes to cook! I am a very, very lucky lady.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I've been sick for the last week, so this month was especially awful. I got pregnant the first month trying with pregnancy 1&2, so I'm not used to several cycles and the disappointment of POAS and negative tests. Looks like I'll be around a while. Not sure if it's age or my body changed, or I'm just not consistent enough w/ my charting...

@missthumpa- I really need to do some serious diet management myself, especially since I'm not working out right now. Tried on some jeans that never fit correctly (too big) for the longest time in some places but now they are most definitely too tight, like uncomfortable. That ain't cool.....How long is your LP??
@chrlyr- Its still early! How long is your LP usually?
@pretzel2plus1- this journey is a trial of your patience to say the very least!! I pray for it daily.
@R0824H- I'm sorry it looks like AF is on her way......be good to you over the next few days!
@smfeuro- I feel ya on waiting to test, that is my current struggle. I'm trying to stay strong and wait.
@Ginnyj2012- I think your chart looks pretty accurate. I'm debating my actual O date too though because on CD 19 there was a very slight increase and on CD 20 a more significant increase. After that temps stay up, but yours looks pretty accurate to me. FF makes me crazy!!
@mrsschmity- I'll be in the kitchen most of the afternoon too. We'll be freezing tomatoes and I'll be making lunches and dinners for the week.
@JamieMichelle12- I'd offer some insight but my computer is acting up and won't let me make your chart bigger to really look at it.....sorry.
@ashbear720- You really need more info to go off of to know what's going on with your cycles and just wanted to make sure you know that you are supposed to start temping at the beginning of your cycle right? Starting temping now will not really do much for you other than get you in the habit of doing it. If you temp orally some women start the day they get their period, others wait till AF is closer to on her way out the door. If you temp vaginally, same as above. I switched to vaginal temping this month and started on CD 7 and it didn't seem to affect my chart too much.
Month/Cycle: 5/3rd month temping
CD/DPO: 31/11 DPO
Timing: -3, -1,0, +1 (depending on when O was)
Testing Plans: Trying really hard to not test until at least Wed 9/30 depending on what temps do
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Well FF is up to her usual games again, moved my expected AF date to tomorrow instead of this AM. Temps were high today still, haven't gone up any per say but are still high and consistent. I really want to test but I really don't want to get my hopes up too much either. Getting anxious.......need to stay busy today so that I keep my mind off it and wait it out till at least tomorrow and see what happens. I think it affected my sleep last night though because I woke up @ 3 am and almost temped then. My longest cycle was right around this length, so I'm guessing that is why FF moved things this morning, especially with my temp staying high today. So looking like I have an average of 11 day LP at this point. So we'll see what tomorrow brings.....talk me off the ledge ladies!!!
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He's an all around caring person. He does the little things that some people wouldn't do. The day before our wedding we had been at the rehearsal at the venue which was somewhat out in the middle of nowhere. We were all headed back to town for the rehearsal dinner and we were in separate cars. He called me right when we were all supposed to be meeting and said he and the best man were going to be late. They had stopped to help a lady who had gone in the ditch and they waited on the EMS crew to show up before they left her. And this morning I saw his CPR card he got from a course he took at his office. He has a thing about Superman, loves Superman. but he is my Superman.
FX those temps stay high @MNturnsVA!! I will crap myself if I log in tomorrow morning and see a BFP from you Have fun in the kitchen today....I'll be here for a while.
Thanks for your super thoughtful notes @MNturnsVA! I just got my thermometer last week and couldn't wait to start at least putting some kind of data into FF... I know it doesn't mean anything this month since I have zero temps to reference... but maybe the data will be useful next month if it's a BFN this month? FX for your temps to stay high for you!!
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Finally got solid CH this morning!! Timing looks ok, wish we had managed to get -1 in there too but I'm optimistic!
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He can fix anything. His brain amazes me because he can figure anything out and engineer a solution. It is so sexy!
Testing Plans: Wednesday (DPO 12) if temps are still above cover line since AF is due the next day and my temps usually drop around DPO 10.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My temps have flatlined. My last 6 temps have been within .02 of each other and just going up/down about .01 each time. Still above cover line just not moving in any significant direction. This is weird for me b/c usually I will spike into the 98s for at least a few days and haven't this cycle. I feel like I'm out for this month. Have any of you ladies had this?
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He is always making me laugh, and he is supportive of all my crazy ambition. Plus he is a non-planner which really helps to balance out my overly-planned self.
@MNturnsVA Here is the link to my chart. The open circles are when I temped earlier than I typically do; DH has been getting up earlier than usual for work so I've been getting up with him and just temping as soon as we wake up. Also, this month has been fairly stressful (I had an ovarian cyst removed last month, my grandpa isn't doing well, and I just started a new job) so I am not sure if that is contributing to all the mixed fertility/ovulation signs.
Testing Plans: I got my wondfos today! Since I have read that people have seen some results on 8dpo, I might just wait till then
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I am happy that I have found a place for me to talk about what is on my mind. This definitely helps curb my anxiety and I don't obsess over every little thing. It's pretty stressful right now since we are mid renovation at home and DH's dad is a jerk. I am trying to not stress too much but its hard when there is so much arguing at home. ( I live with the in laws)
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He just gets me
@mrsschmity - I'm totally freaking out right now because I looked again at the "legend" on FF & FF didn't move anything, it just highlighted today as a recommended test date.....I REALLY do not want a BFN.....I'd much rather have my temps drop tomorrow than take a test today & get a BFN..... And I've been told with a shorter LP it can take a little longer for a HPT to turn.......so why you going to play mind games with me FF?!? Oh man......thanks for reaching out!

@Ginnyj2012- I think your chart looks pretty accurate. I'm debating my actual O date too though because on CD 19 there was a very slight increase and on CD 20 a more significant increase. After that temps stay up, but yours looks pretty accurate to me. FF makes me crazy!!
@mrsschmity- I'll be in the kitchen most of the afternoon too. We'll be freezing tomatoes and I'll be making lunches and dinners for the week.
@brambles1- can you attach your chart?
@BioTeach84- FX for you!
@lsalvag1- Congrats!!!
@JamieMichelle12- I'd offer some insight but my computer is acting up and won't let me make your chart bigger to really look at it.....sorry.
@ashbear720- You really need more info to go off of to know what's going on with your cycles and just wanted to make sure you know that you are supposed to start temping at the beginning of your cycle right? Starting temping now will not really do much for you other than get you in the habit of doing it. If you temp orally some women start the day they get their period, others wait till AF is closer to on her way out the door. If you temp vaginally, same as above. I switched to vaginal temping this month and started on CD 7 and it didn't seem to affect my chart too much.
Month/Cycle: 5/3rd month temping
CD/DPO: 31/11 DPO
Timing: -3, -1,0, +1 (depending on when O was)
Testing Plans: Trying really hard to not test until at least Wed 9/30 depending on what temps do
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Well FF is up to her usual games again, moved my expected AF date to tomorrow instead of this AM. Temps were high today still, haven't gone up any per say but are still high and consistent. I really want to test but I really don't want to get my hopes up too much either. Getting anxious.......need to stay busy today so that I keep my mind off it and wait it out till at least tomorrow and see what happens. I think it affected my sleep last night though because I woke up @ 3 am and almost temped then. My longest cycle was right around this length, so I'm guessing that is why FF moved things this morning, especially with my temp staying high today. So looking like I have an average of 11 day LP at this point. So we'll see what tomorrow brings.....talk me off the ledge ladies!!!
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He's an all around caring person. He does the little things that some people wouldn't do. The day before our wedding we had been at the rehearsal at the venue which was somewhat out in the middle of nowhere. We were all headed back to town for the rehearsal dinner and we were in separate cars. He called me right when we were all supposed to be meeting and said he and the best man were going to be late. They had stopped to help a lady who had gone in the ditch and they waited on the EMS crew to show up before they left her. And this morning I saw his CPR card he got from a course he took at his office. He has a thing about Superman, loves Superman. but he is my Superman.
Congrats @lsalvag1 !
Congratulations @lsalvag1!!
CD/DPO: 37/5
Timing: -3, -2, 0
Testing plans: 18dpo if no AF
R/R/CS: I am so tired. So. Tired.
GTKY: He is a really hard worker.
CD/DPO: 26/3
Timing: -5, -3, -2, 0
Testing Plans: None until AF is due on 10/8
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Finally got solid CH this morning!! Timing looks ok, wish we had managed to get -1 in there too but I'm optimistic!
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He can fix anything. His brain amazes me because he can figure anything out and engineer a solution. It is so sexy!
Congrats @lsalvag1
Me: 30 | DH: 34 | DSS: 14 | DS: 4
PG #2, EDD 10/12/2023
CD/DPO: 26/9
Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0, +1
Testing Plans: Wednesday (DPO 12) if temps are still above cover line since AF is due the next day and my temps usually drop around DPO 10.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My temps have flatlined. My last 6 temps have been within .02 of each other and just going up/down about .01 each time. Still above cover line just not moving in any significant direction. This is weird for me b/c usually I will spike into the 98s for at least a few days and haven't this cycle. I feel like I'm out for this month. Have any of you ladies had this?
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He is always making me laugh, and he is supportive of all my crazy ambition. Plus he is a non-planner which really helps to balance out my overly-planned self.
CD/DPO: 20/3
Timing: -7,-5,-3,-1,O
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I am happy that I have found a place for me to talk about what is on my mind. This definitely helps curb my anxiety and I don't obsess over every little thing. It's pretty stressful right now since we are mid renovation at home and DH's dad is a jerk. I am trying to not stress too much but its hard when there is so much arguing at home. ( I live with the in laws)
GTKY: What do you love the most about your DH? He just gets me
