GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie?

Lasscher · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 15/3

Timing: -4,-3,-2,-1,0 (2x), +1
Testing Plans: 12-14 DPO or when AF is missed I haven't decided yet

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I got my first crosshairs!!! Albeit they are dotted because the wonderful OPK that I literally have a love/hate relationship with (one minute I hate it and don't want to use it ever again, the next I love it, bc it's shows a positive and I haven't seen anything positive before

) ) doesn't match my temps according to FF, it's been positive after my O date.

I feel really good about timing so I'm feeling optimistic, however I trying to remind myself that even though a stat application like FF gives me good ratings that doesn't mean it's going to happen this month. I'm still going to try to get 2 more BD's in today and tomorrow, just in case FF tries to move my O date later, so I'll have all bases covered, we'll see if that really happens though.

I'm torn on when to test. I got a lot of BFN's last time testing everyday sometimes 2x a day starting on DPO 9 and it made me really upset and miserable. I also was symptom spotting like a mofo which didn't help things either. Basically I was a mess. So this time I want to be smarter about this. DH doesn't think I should start testing until I miss AF and he is right and most likely saner than I am at this point about all of this, but who knows if that will stop me.

Side note even though it's annoying at times charting is cool, because according FF it looks like I have a 15 day LP which explains why my periods are so heavy.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie?

Cinderella I was obsessed with it when I was 6, watched it everyday after school. * Edited because English is supposed to be my first language

mrsschmity · October 2015

Woo hoo for crosshairs @Lasscher! Welcome back to the TWW

My two cents on the "When to test" question...If you hate seeing BFNs, wait until AF is late and your temps stay high. The first month we were TTGP I wasted a lot of tests because I wasn't temping. I haven't taken an HPT in probably at least 2 months. I don't plan on taking any this time around unless AF is a no show and my temps stay high. Just a suggestion!

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 27/9

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

Testing Plans: None unless AF is late/Temps stay high

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My hopes are staying high, but still talking myself out of the fact that I could still be in the game this month. After my temp drop on CD7, it's climbed steadily the last 2 days and now at the highest it's been yet. I had to wake up early with H this morning - I went back to bed, but that meant getting up an hour later than I usually do in order to get 3 full hours of sleep. So my open circle today is because I temped at 5:30 instead of 4:30. AF is due in 5 days, so all I can do is hope at this point. Getting real sick of SS everything I've been feeling - it's exhausting for my brain. So here's to hoping the next week goes by fast and those temps keep rising.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Oh geez, this is a tough one. Probably The Rescuers Down Under. Pretty sure my mom and dad had that movie on repeat for my sister and I. My dad used to work shift work when we were kids, so when he was home with us during the day he said we watched that movie literally every day.

jolydan · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 27/3

Timing: -4,-1,0

Testing Plans: I think I'll be waiting for late AF. I'm afraid of another CP and early testing

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:
Yeah solid crosshair !!!! Officially back

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? I have a top 3: Jumanji, Mathilda and home Alone! I still re watch those at least once a year!Guilty!

chrlyr · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 14/28

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

Testing Plans: None

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Just waiting for AF and she's taking her sweet ass time. I liked it better when my cycles were 25-26 days.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Goonies

sorarose · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 23/5

Timing: -1, 0, +1

Testing Plans: OPKs for now

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Had a temp drop this morning, although still above CL. Not sure if my CL is accurate though since it's disregarding some open circles. Feeling like maybe this is the false alarm I expected, and now I'm also wondering what's going on with my body that could trick FF into thinking I O'd, but I really didn't yet maybe? Very frustrated.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? I loved Disney movies...I watched Aladdin enough to memorize the whole thing.

Lasscher · October 2015

mrsschmity Thanks for the advice. I wasted sooo much $$$$ last month. I'm going to try to hold out until a missed AF to avoid some heart ache, but its going to be hard to resist the wondfos sitting in my bathroom. I'm almost tempted to give up the tests to hubby to keep them away from me

hockeyfan42 · October 2015

Yay for CHs @Lasscher and @jolydan!

Month/Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Testing Plans: 15DPO

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: CHs are still dotted even after I took out my (questionable) CP data. I had a couple screwed up temps earlier in my cycle that I'm kicking myself for now. Oh well, we'll see what happens.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Goonies!

mrsschmity · October 2015

I hear ya @Lasscher! Honestly though, waiting to see what my temps do is kind of exciting - it kind of helps me stay somewhat calm because in the end I know that my temps hold the truth lol I will probably freak the eff out if AF is late and my temps don't drop. If that does happen, I will be peeing on all the sticks

@chrlyr and @hockeyfan42 I retract my previous statement. I have to agree with both of you on The Goonies - that is a classic and will always be one of my favorites!

BioTeach84 · October 2015

**question in rants**
Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 29/13

Timing: -4, -2, -1

Testing Plans: keep getting BFN :-(

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I have an 11 day LP and we are on day 13 with negatives. My temps are still above the cover line. Is it possible that I had a later implantation and hcg hasn't built up yet? I would attach my chart, but I have yet to have an attachment work on mobile.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? The Little Mermaid and The Lion King. No other Disney movies can come close to those 2!

Edited for question

KASG · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 22/10

Timing: -4, -2, 0

Testing Plans: Tested yesterday. Will try to wait until at least Monday. The goal is next Sunday when AF is one full week late, but that's not happening.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: FF keeps changing my crosshairs. And my temps aren't making me optimistic. (See link.)

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Pocahontas. I tried to climb trees lol

ShallowSeas · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 11/11

CD/DPO: 20/7

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

Testing Plans: I want to wait until 9dpo...but I have a feeling I may cave tomorrow and test.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My temp keeps going up!!!!! I have lots of rants tho. My face is breaking out which is rare for me because I MIGHT get a zit every couple of months. I have like 4 now. I haven't been sleeping well all week and this morning I overslept by 30 minutes

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? I loved Fern Gully and The Secret of NIMH.

I had a temp drop at 5 dpo as well, then it shot back up the next 2 days (including today). I was concerned about it but read that sometimes a Fallback Rise happens between 3-5 or a second estrogen surge. Either way its nothing to worry about and its pretty common. Hopefully you temp will continue to increase after today.

chanfa · October 2015

Month/ Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 24/7

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

Testing: I am trying to hold out till I miss my AF on 10/10

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I finally bought a Mabis BBT and I find it hilarious that I am pretty excited about a thermometer. I have been symptom spotting like crazy and I REALLY need to stop. I figured that by having a thermometer I can start tracking my temps so that I can wait to test till after AF due date if it doesn't show. I'm starting to stress out now

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? The little Mermaid and Cinderella!

aloha5736 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 25/9

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

Testing Plans: BFN today

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: BBT looks exactly the same and temp went down as expensive. Probably out this month...figured we had good timing. I am a little early to test, but temp tells me that I'm on track for AF soon. My cycles are 26-29 usually so any day now.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? I love Disney movies, Cinderella was my favorite and loved the new one that came out.

jhems776 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 25/10

Timing: -1,0

Testing Plans: Tomorrow after work if AF doesn't start

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Yesterday's cramps were so so bad, I'm scared for how bad this period will be. I'm so glad it was my work from home day because I would have called in sick. There is still this annoying part of my brain going but maybe there is still a chance but with these symptoms I highly doubt it. Also, I didn't get up at my normal 4am to temp and use the restroom which lead to me temping 2.5hrs later after being up for 10m (also was really hot, almost sweaty when I woke up). The temp was higher than any this month (98.54) and that caused FF to move my crosshairs to CD17. I decided to disregard it for the sleep reasons and the OPKs and CM suggest CD 15. Does disregarding it sound reasonable? https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5d233c

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? I'm with @severmilli12 I love Fern Gully

Margo412 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 32/13

Timing: -2, -1

Testing Plans: Thought AF showed up yesterday but must've been breakthrough bleeding bc nothing this morning. Got excited and POAS. BFN. Temp also dropped so prob no more testing.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Since I started temping my LP has varied from 11-14 days. Those 3 days of variation is annoying at the end of TWW! I thought that was supposed to be the constant.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? I remember watching the Dark Crystal a lot. I haven't seen it in over 15yrs now and need to watch it again!

sorarose · October 2015

Thank you so much, @severmilli12. I was just so excited that I actually slept 6 straight hours, woke up at the exact right time, and then that was my result. I was/am finally accepting that maybe my O day really was early for me this month (and not around CD26-32), and it just seems like my body is mocking me. I appreciate your support and am continuing to look at FF charts like mine that resulted in getting KU.

ShallowSeas · October 2015

@sorarose definitely don't get discouraged yet! I was really upset all day because of my stupid temp dip on 5dpo but there are lots of reasons why your temp can dip that early. I have my fx for you!

ButterMyBiscuit · October 2015

Month/Cycle: NTNP

CD/DPO: 28/11?

Timing: ED during FW

Testing Plans: I caved and tested last night because my symptoms seemed so strong that I thought I might be able to turn a test. Wrong. BFN. I knew it was too early but I did it anyway. Oh well. There IS another test in the pack so I'll probably wait until tomorrow or Saturday to test with FMU.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: So, symptoms are still here. Since we're NTNP, I haven't been temping or charting BUT last night I checked my cervix and it was nice and hard. This morning, I checked it in the shower and it was all kinds of mushy. I have NO idea if that's good or bad but it's something.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? The Sandlot!

housewifehobbyist · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 26/9

Timing: -3,-2,0

Testing Plans: Saturday, to see if I can have a glass of Champagne at the wedding we're going to that night, but its only 11dpo so it's still a little early. If its the BFN I'm expecting then I'll wait til I'm late.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Posting my chart here, please feel free to stalk. I had a dip below the coverline today, but I'm not really counting it because H and I carpool now that we're in the burbs which means I had to get up at 4:30 and temp 1.5 hours early. Still a liiiiittle part of me is hoping its an implantation dip, but a bigger part of me is going

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Was and still is The Princess Bride! I also wanted a Westley of my own (H measures up pretty well)

jmr1515 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 17/4

Timing: -3, -1, 0(x2)

Testing Plans: I tell myself I'm going to wait but I know I'll be POAS 10dpo

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Feeling almost too optimistic this cycle. I'm trying to bring myself back to reality cause I know I'm setting myself up for failure if this isn't my month.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? The Princess Bride. I probably watched that movie 100s of time in my childhood!

smfeuro · October 2015

Good morning ladies.

Month Cycle: 9/8

CD/DPO: 31/14

Timing: -6, -1, +1

Testing plans: Later tonight if AF doesn't show up today. I would have used FMU but I forgot to go buy a test last night after work.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: is it weird that im scared to test? **loss warning*** i've had two miscarriages and I dont know that I could go through that again so not knowing whether or not im pregnant right now is kind of comforting because i know its not healthy but i'll be on edge the whole time. i dont want to lose another one.

Fave childhood movie: Oh gosh so many, Aladdin, Cinderella, Harriet the Spy, Little Mermaid, so many more.

JayJay1212 · October 2015

*****maybe chart stalk? And question!******

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 19/7

Timing: -1, 0, +1 (supposedly)

Testing Plans: I'm going to test tomorrow so I can feel ok about having some drinks. Then wait for 10 dpo.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I am starting to really get into the symptoms part of FF. It brings me down to earth to put a symptom in and have it tell me that only 7.3% of pregnancy charts showed that symptom at my dpo. Great way to get myself to chill on all the symptom spotting. Except, who am I kidding. My face is all broken out (literally...never happens.) My boobs are sore (I don't remember them ever being sore after puberty), and and and and list could go on. Only 7dpo. Maybe. I suck.
Also, not sure if I trust my chart, I drank last weekend and that is when my temp spike happened. CM is lined up more with a cd14 O, I think. I don't know if I should trust my chart. And I'm really frustrated with my "post O" temps.

Random question: can anyone remind me how to remove a pic from my sig? I exclusively mobile bump and forgot that I had added it back in my knot days.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie?
Rigoletto and On Our Own. We got movies from Focus on the Family, or something like that. Too hard to choose from the Disney movies, which I also loved. Oh! And also The Secret Garden. My family hid that one from me, I watched too often.

jmr1515 · October 2015

@BioTeach84
It's hard to know without seeing your chart but is it possible that you ovulated later and are not actually 13dpo? Either way you're not out until AF shows! Fx'd for you!

britters314 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 25/12

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

Testing Plans: I wanted to test yesterday because I had an awful migraine and I wanted to see if I can take my medication (my doctor said I can't take it if I'm pregnant), but I didn't have any tests and I ended up going to the chiropractor and that made me feel much better

So now I'm back to waiting until at least 15dpo if my period doesn't start.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I've had some awful migraines this week. It's normal for me to get migraines, but they have been extra bad and happening more often this past week

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? THE LION KING

Edit: I started getting cramps today and I'm 99% sure my period is going to start soon so it looks like I'm out this month

laurenlalap · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 13/ (12th after first loss, 5th after second loss)

CD/DPO: 43/5

Timing: O

Testing Plans: I say 10DPO, but it will probably be 9.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I'm good today!

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Christmas Vacation, Father of the Bride

Month/Cycle: 6

CD/DPO: 24/11

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing Plans: I told myself yesterday no more testing until sat but my temp spiked this am so I decided to take a test just incase. I got a 2nd line on a wondfo but convinced myself It was Evap. I decided to take a FRER after DH left for work and another positive. All of you gals saved my sanity while TTCAL. Thank you for the support and talking me into temping!

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk:

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Oh at one point I was obsessed with drop dead Fred lol

cait5413 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 34/12

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

Testing Plans: tested yesterday==BFN; slight spotting yesterday and FF predicts tomorrow for AF, so if AF doesn't start overnight I may test tomorrow morning because I am a glutton for punishment

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Pretty sure I'm out this month and will be heading back to WTO tomorrow; had some different symptoms this month, so I am not sure if my cycle is still getting back to normal post-BC (pre-BC used to have heavier and more painful periods; since off BC have only used meds for cramps once, and my cycles have been longer than they were pre-BC) or if it's just a wacky month. I don't think I have ever scrutinized my body as much as I have since starting TTC!

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? I love Anastasia.

housewifehobbyist · October 2015

Yey! Congrats @etr152517 ! H&H 9 months!

jolydan · October 2015

Congrats @etr152517 ! TWW was lacking BFP today! I want October to be as good as September!!!

ArtlessIbex · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 25/11

Timing: -2, 0

Testing Plans: If AF is late

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Eh. I'm cramping lightly, so I'm guessing I'm out. I'll know in a day or two.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Oooh! I loved The Rescuers!!

cait5413 · October 2015

severmilli12 I forgot about Secrets of NIMH! Loved that movie

FrancesGrace630 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/3

CD/DPO: 41/9

Timing: -3, -2, 0

Testing Plans: Late next week, after AF is due

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My low back has been hurting the past few days, which is a PMS symptom for me, but usually not til the day I get AF.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Animated would be Cinderella. Otherwise, The Goonies! I remember going to the video rental store with my family when I was about 5 or 6, and my dad wanted to get The Goonies, and I was upset because it was a movie about a bunch of boys and I didn't think I'd like it. I'm glad we rented it though, because it became my favorite! I made my husband watch it for the first time last year, and he didn't care for it

@Margo412 I also have not had a consistent LP! My first month off BCP (one year ago) it was 13 days, then I had a bunch of AO cycles, then our first month trying my LP was 16 days, then it was 11 days. I want to wait until AF is late to test, but I don't know if AF is due Sunday or next Friday! According to FF my "average" LP is 14 days, so AF is predicted next Wednesday.

ETA congrats @etr152517 !

FrancesGrace630 · October 2015

Forgot to attach my chart! The open circle today is because I woke up 30 minutes early. Grr.

I don't think this is weird at all! Even without MCs, a BFN sometimes feels like a loss. Take your time and take care of yourself. (((hugs)))

Mr0616 · October 2015

Congrats to @etr152517 !!!!

I'm being lazy and don't want to do my daily counts for TWW. Too much brain going on. Thanks to everyone who left kind comments about my kitty. He's is pet heaven now and not suffering. Still going to miss that cutie though.

Testing Plans: waiting for AF. Fortunately I have an 11 day LP so not too much longer

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Nothing too much. Super tired today because DH had a friend over last night which kept me from going to bed at my usual time.

GTKY: What is your favorite childhood movie? Probably It Takes 2.. the one with the Olsen twins. My sister and I used to watch that movie constantly.
