Happy Monday ladies! I didn't see one started yet, so I guess I'll do the honors today.

Month/Cycle:

CD/DPO:

Timing:

Testing Plans:

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk?

ShallowSeas · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 10/11

CD/DPO: 17/4

Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0, +2

Testing Plans: I plan on waiting until at least 9 dpo.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Nothing to rant or rave about yet. Just keeping my fingers crossed for this month.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Peanut M&Ms, watching Friends, good beer, a big hug from DH.

mrsschmity · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 24/6

Timing: -6, -4, -3, -2, O, +2

Testing Plans: None at this point.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I'm trying really hard not to SS or make symptoms up in my head, but it's hard when I'm experiencing things that I haven't before. Yesterday I had a weird sharp off-and on pain in my right side - almost like a stitch in my side but different. I've had a metallic taste in my mouth all morning. I thought my temps would have leveled off a bit, but they just keep going up. Again, only 6 dpo so anything could be normal at this point. I'm feeling cranky today, so PMS could be rearing it's ugly head.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? A good laugh and a nap. Honestly, most of the time when I find myself in a funk for a week or two it's usually because I'm sleep deprived. If I'm just having an off day, I take it all out on the weights or get outside in the fresh air. Then, a long, hot bubble bath.

candicek15 · September 2015

***Question and possible BPF mentioned***

What a way to start off! lol

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 27/14

Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0

Testing Plans: Tested for the past 4 days with dollar store tests and got solid BFNs.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: ***Expected AF today and was getting my usual pre-AF brown spotting. (Also had this before my pregnancy that I lost). Just because I like to POAS I did, but used a First Response one because it's all I had left and I figured "wasting" one wasn't that bad, just to be sure. Definitely got a +, but also pretty sure AF arrived! Spotting was bright red instead of brown, and if I didn't test I would definitely have though this was AF day. Kinda crampy this morning but wondering if that's anxiety, because I. AM. SO. CONFUSED. How do you get a BFP and your period at the same time. WTF? lol.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Dancing to awesome music!

MNturnsVA · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/3rd month temping

CD/DPO: 32/12

Timing: Not good enough apparently

Testing Plans: none at this point, unless temps go back up

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Well, I'm not really sure what is going on. I had very high hopes yesterday afternoon this may be our month but I woke up @ 4 am and had to go to the bathroom. I knew I wouldn't be able to hold it until 5 ish when I normally get up and that even if I did hold it, the voices in my head would get the best of me if I didn't go and I wouldn't be able to fall back to sleep trying to hold it. So I got up and temped and it was lower than what it has been. I didn't exactly fall back to sleep but temped again when I should have gotten up and it was even lower than my 4 am time. So I'm guessing I will be moving to the WTO tomorrow......Sorry for my antics and silliness yesteray.....I feel silly.....

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? working out and i can't even do that right now.....going to Physical therapy right now but I"m going to talk to the therapist today because something has got to give

jhems776 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 22/7

Timing: -1,0

Testing Plans: Debating 9 or 12 DPO, I don't want to go to work after if it is positive. I work from home on Weds and last month my LP was only 10. I would rather get the heads up it is a no with a stick than AF.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Just over symptom spotting in the pessimistic way. Was that a cramp? Nope, just all the bad food I had earlier, but maybe not. Who is hogging the xray over-the-internet uterus googles?

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? This sounds bad, but getting a little too drunk with some friends. Wake up the next day with only hangover pain but fun memories.

mrsschmity · September 2015

Sorry @MNturnsVA

Did your temp dip below coverline? I don't want to get your hopes up by any means, but my FX are crossed that your temps go back up. Hang in there.

cait5413 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 31/9

Timing: -3, -1, 0, +2

Testing Plans: Wednesday

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I was feeling really positive this month, now not so sure. Trying not to symptom spot--I have soreness under both arms; it's totally normal for me to have soreness under one armpit pre-AF, but usually not both, so I keep going back and forth about what this means, even though I know it means NOTHING (or will only mean something in retrospect). TWW is great for making me feel like a crazy person! My temps are up but not as high as they usually are, actually. So, again, no idea what that means. Trying to be more chill this month but I think I'm failing.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Dancing and singing along to a fun song or DH being silly and making me laugh

chanfa · September 2015

@MNturnsVA however it goes tomorrow, good luck and I hope it works out! I know I'll be here waiting

@severmilli12 mmm, now I want some peanut M&Ms....

Month/ Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 21/4

Timing: -7,-5,-3,-1,O

Testing: Same as yesterday. Will wait a few more days before I POAS (wondfos)

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Told the DH that I bought the wondfos and he thought I was crazy for wanting to POAS everyday. He asked me what that will accomplish, all I said was "it will make me feel better". He gave up asking. I have also been feeling pretty nauseous recently, and I know its not a symptom of being pregnant since I did take a test and got a BFN. I got sick last Tuesday and since then I have just been in a blah mood after I eat something. Good thing is, today seems to be going well, and if not I will have to see a doctor.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? chocolate, napping, and my dog

Well, some women do have some bleeding, so see what happens tomorrow. Could also be a chemical pregnancy, which is unfortunately very common. (((hugs)))

MNturnsVA · September 2015

@mrsschmity- Yep, both temps were below cover line. FF says to not focus on the cover line and when temps go below or above it, its really just a "guide" to help you see when you O'd. All that said though, this was a pretty significant drop, especially with the 2nd temp closer to the time I would actually get up. So, I'll keep ya posted on what kind of games AF decides to play.....But I'm guessing we are out. It would be pretty late in the cycle for an "implantation dip" I would think.....And I really don't even want to get my hopes up that has any reason as to why the temps dipped today.

cait5413 · September 2015

mrsschmity

I feel you with the symptom spotting! I promised myself I wasn't going to do it anymore, since last month I had almost convinced myself I was KU (definitely not). It's so hard to avoid, though!

candicek15 · September 2015

@cait5413 Thanks for your response. I was thinking CP too, so I am trying to be cautiously optimistic. I'll see what the rest of the day and tomorrow brings...

FrancesGrace630 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 38/6

Timing: -3, -2, 0

Testing Plans: maybe 15dpo if no AF...DH is off work that day and he wants to know ASAP if I get a BFP.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Nothing today.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Spending quality time with DH, working out, going outside, a nap, or ice cream.

emp2642 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 18/4 or 6

Timing: Either -4, -2, 0 or -2, 0

Testing Plans: Not sure yet

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: FF moved O from CD14 to CD12, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why (temps continuing to rise). My "peak fertility" showed up on OPK at CD13, so based on that and temp rise, I still think CD14 is right. Timing wasn't bad in either case, just confused by FF and this might mean I wind up testing earlier. Anyone else have FF move their O day for no apparent reason?

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Working out.

teamginger13 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 10/11

CD/DPO: 20/5

Timing: -1, 0, +1

Testing Plans: waiting for AF

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: FF has changed my O date 3 times so I am going with the day in the middle

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? DH. He always makes me laugh.

seethosestars · September 2015

Happy Monday!

Month/Cycle: 12/9

CD/DPO: 16/3

Timing: -6,-3,-2, +2

Testing Plans: on the day my period is expected (so tired of getting a BfN and then my period the next day, so no early testing for me.)

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: kinda bummed that our timing was not great this month. Got in an argument on -1 and then had a super busy day on O. FX that -2 is enough!!

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Getting together with girlfriends.

chrlyr · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 25/11

Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0

Testing Plans: BFN again this morning. I'm probably done testing unless AF is late. No need to waste tests, even if they're ICs.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I started temping this morning. I had to go in and sleep in DS's bed because he was freaking out in the middle of the night and even though I grabbed the thermometer, I couldn't remember how many times I had to push the button to make it work. So, I had to do it in the bathroom. FAIL. So, I have one lonely temp on my chart. At 11dpo. Ha. Better late than never?

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Weird answer alert: Chinese food. I love it so much.

Malone24 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 9/12

CD/DPO: 22/7

Timing: -3,-2,-1,0, +1

Testing Plans: Used a wondfo this morning and negative, but duh. My period is due in two days because I have a short LP.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: We had drinks with friends last night, and I feel guilty; like maybe that's why I'm not pregnant after 9 months of trying... it was fun though. We got home at 2 a.m., and I am exhausted today. Also, my face is broken out and I had tender boobs this morning, but those are classic PMS symptoms for me.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Usually, watching really bad reality t.v.

tinkerbell11210 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 25/9

Timing: -4-3-2 0

Testing Plans: till AF shows

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I said I was going to wait until 10 DPO but I caved yesterday. I have Wonfos to use so I justified testing early. BFN yesterday and today. Still hopeful but feeling a little down with the two BFNs.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? My daughters giggle. There is something about her laugh it is infectious and always puts a smile on my face.

LizaKate1213 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 27/4

Timing: -5, -3, -2, 0

Testing Plans: None until AF is due

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: So far so good. Came home from a women's weekend out of town with all the women in my family. It was fun but for some reason I was in a miserable mood and wasn't very nice to DH when I got home. He ended up yelling at me...that didn't help. We talked and everything is fine now...I think the TWW has me all anxious

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Yoga or a really strong karate class

britters314 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 22/9

Timing: -4, -3, -1, +2

Testing Plans: waiting until at least 15dpo.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My temp dropped quite a bit this morning, but it's still above coverline so I still have hope.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Sleep.

MissAmeliaPond · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 25 / 8-10 (not sure)

Timing: EOD/ED on days around suspected O

Testing Plans: Still trying to hold out until AF is due on Saturday... (I'm predicting caving Wednesday morning)

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Nothing super interesting. Today is my 4th day of temping, just trying to get some numbers recorded and get in the habit of using the thermometer every morning.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Cuddling with my little dog! She's a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, and she's my baby princess (for now!).

BioTeach84 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 26/10

Timing: -4, -2, -1

Testing Plans: BFN this morning

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My temps are the highest they have ever been at 10 dpo. I only have an 11 day LP and I usually start having temp drops at 9 dpo and that hasn't happened. AF is due Wednesday, so we will see what happens! Fingers crossed!

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Usually my track team. They even managed to get me to smile hours after my cat had died. My athletes are pretty much the sweetest kids on the planet and I can never be upset or in a bad mood around them.

@MNturnsVA sorry about the temp drop. Maybe it was just from the early wake up. Fingers crossed it goes back up for you!

etr152517 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 6

CD/DPO: 21/8

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing Plans: 10dpo

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: not much at this time...just waiting!

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Dark chocolate, wine or massages from DH. Or back tickles!! Love those!

callen10210 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 27/12

Timing: ED/EOD during FW

Testing Plans: well i broke down and tested DPO 10 BFN and was bitchy the rest of the day so now i'm waiting till DPO 16

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: i wish i could sleep through the TWW

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? DD when she's in a good mood otherwise going to my mom's having a chat over coffee

Mr0616 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: Good - but Probably not good enough.

Testing Plans: Ugh....

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:

Feeling like AF is coming down there. Which has ALWAYS been a sure sign. But I googled to see if this was a PG sign again this month. I do this every month. It's ridiculous. AF is due Friday. Pretty sure I am out. DH is getting anxious now and it isn't helping anything.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk?

NAPS!

This one is SO me:

Sarafuss · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 40/?

Timing: None.

Testing Plans: None.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Day 7 of prometrium. Just waiting on AF. I'm irritated that not ovulating and having a long cycle has probably ruined my plans of going out of town for a girls weekend. I'm pretty sure my monitoring appt and ovulation is going to fall near/on that weekend. Boo.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Graeter's chocolate chip ice cream. It's the best ice cream ever and it always makes me happy.

Ugh, word. I have that feeling today even though AF isn't due until Thursday (although my cycle length varies from 24 to 28 days). At this point I just want the wench to show so I can move on to the next cycle.

housewifehobbyist · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 23/6

Timing: -3, -2, O

Testing Plans: I was going to wait until 11dpo because we have a wedding to go to that night, but now probably Wednesday because well, rant-

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I was all reconciled to the fact that this cycle just wasn't going to be it. My temps have been weird all month and are barely above the cover line now, I ovulated later so my timing wasn't perfect, and just the stress with this whole renovation/move has thrown me off. Then my mom calls me yesterday. She has a history of having dreams she considers prophetic, and there are a lot of coincidences but I never counted her hits and misses, tbh. It's been a harmless belief of hers generally. Anyway, my mom calls to say she had a vivid dream that woke her up at 5:00 AM that I had a baby girl with blue eyes and dimples in June and she just KNOWS I'm going to get pregnant this month. I haven't told her I'm trying yet, but I had insinuated ages ago that we wouldn't have a kid until we had a house. And we moved in to our first home this past weekend.

Of course, in order to be due in June I'd have to be pregnant this cycle. SO now even though its ridiculous I kind of have my hope back up. And if I'm not pregnant I know my mom is going to bring it up again and I'm going to have to tell her "Nope still not pregnant... been trying" to the woman who had three kids all on the first cycle.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? Music and time alone, both of which I am having plenty of today!

ArtlessIbex · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 22/8

Timing: -2, 0

Testing Plans: 15 dpo, or whenever I can't wait anymore.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Had a temp dip to the CL over the weekend, but this morning my temp shot up to an all-time high. Naturally, this just makes me really suspicious that I was thrashing around in my sleep or something.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? DH gives the best foot run

mrsschmity · September 2015

@housewifehobbyist I will be very interested to hear back from you after you POAS, and whether or not you mom's dream is true!

KASG · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/4

CD/DPO: 19/3 supposedly

Timing: -4

Testing Plans: Oct 11 if no AF

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: my temps today made FF change my O date. Now I feel like I missed the window. Which blows. Omg just the thought of AF...

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? FOOD

GinnyJ2012 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 31/11

Timing: Bad

Testing Plans: BFN today. I'm out of dollar tree tests so I'll wait until my wondfos come in Wednesday, and if temps are still up and no AF I'll POAS Thursday morning. Ok let's be honest if temps are still up I'll probably test once the test come in.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:Just waiting it out now.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? A very hot shower or bath and wine, I've told DH I need a shower wine glass holder for Christmas. Sometimes exercising if I need to take out frustration.

housewifehobbyist · September 2015

@mrsschmity Oh you will! I am usually the biggest base-everything-on-fact-and-science skeptic, but I'm suddenly hoping that my mom is in fact magical. Clearly TTC has me going off the deep end already!

candicek15 · September 2015

GinnyJ2012 Umm.... do you know where they sell those?! I think I'm going to have to put them on my Christmas list! lol

GinnyJ2012 · September 2015

@candicek15 Amazon! search for shower wine holder and there are a lot of them. The best part is that they aren't expensive! I'm buying them for my friends as Christmas gifts and may (will) order myself one just in case DH drops the ball on getting me one!

Margo412 · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 8/8 (4th temping)

CD/DPO: 29/10

Timing: -2, -1

Testing Plans: maybe 12dpo if AF hasn't shown up.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: last night I thought AF was here but just spotting so I still have hope for the month. Of course now I'm hoping its implantation spotting but yeah right.

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? DH hugs or snuggling with our dogs

silvers626 · September 2015

@cait5413
I feel you on the whole going crazy thing and the symptom spotting. I can actually hear the crazy falling out of my mouth when I talk to my husband about all my "symptoms" but can't seem to control it!

CoonMom · September 2015

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 23/6

Timing:-2,-1,+1

Testing Plans: Wednesday

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I need to give up facebook. Just found out another cousin is KU with #2. Although I'm happy for her I can't help but think "when is my turn?" It's just not fair!!

Second Rant: My coworker friend is on her first month TTC and she's is currently in TWW also. She is acting like she's KU already and criticizing me for not. She's not drinking coffee and gave up cold cuts, etc. I had a cold cut sandwich for lunch today and she nearly ripped my head off. I'm a firm believer in your not PG until you are/drink till it's pink. She's also catholic and pulling the "but life begins at conception". I firmly believe that as well. (I consider myself more catholic than her as she never goes to church and I go every week) But I also know that mother and baby don't share blood nor does the heart start beating until 6 weeks (well after a bfp!)

GTKY: What is something that never fails to get you out of a bad mood or funk? My fur babies:)
