Timing: -5, -4, -3, 0

Testing Plans: I have pending drinking plans next Friday so I will start testing then

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: timing was not great this cycle compared to my others, but it only takes one right?

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? that is between peanut m&m's or snickers

Month/Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: N/A

Testing Plans: None

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: ****Chart stalk por favor**** Got CH today for CD16. I had a dip on CD18 which FF seems to think is a fallback rise. Do you agree?

Due to DH's request, we took this cycle off. This was my first cycle temping, so I'm still keeping track of everything. Hope no one minds if I participate.

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? Dark chocolate Milky Ways.

blackgirlmagic · October 2015

chrlyr I think that FF is giving you CH's based on you other fertility signs. So I would have to agree with FF on this one even though you clearly do not have a temp shift.

Month/Cycle: 9

CD/DPO: 21/3

Timing: -3, -1, 0, 1

Testing Plans: Next Friday....

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: pretty happy with our timing this cycle! Even convinced DH to HIO last night just in case FF moves our CH....we should be covered now. On to the waiting game!

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? Candy corn is my weak spot.

MEA0320 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 35/8

Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1(x2)

Testing Plans: Staying strong and waiting things out until Monday (when AF is due)

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Happy Thursday!! Nothing crazy today, just happy to see my temp go up a little bit this morning.

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? Snickers and Twix are tied; but I also love Kit Kats :x

Month/Cycle: 17 (5/5 temping)

CD/DPO: 25/11

Timing: -3, -2, -1

Testing Plans: Sat if AF hasn't made her appearance yet (due today or tomorrow)

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: such sore boobs! But AF symptoms are the same so it probably means nothing.

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? I'm with ET on this one: Reese's pieces

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: AF shouldn't be here until next week but I'm already spotting, ugh

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? Anything chocolate and fun sized!!

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 37/8

Timing: -2, -1, 0, 1

Testing Plans: 10DPO

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Officially my longest cycle yet. My other longer cycle was 36 days and happened right after I stopped BC. Infinite hunger continues! Temps have been pretty steady lately opposed to last month when they were all over the place. Probably the past week now I can't eat enough! Mild cramps this morning on the side I Od this month...not reading into it. If a BFN shows up, it'll be my excuse to cut some fat and start tanning...I'm ghost white.

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? HUGS HERSHEY KISSES $:\$ ">

*** Chart stalk in signature**

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 19/4

Timing: -2, 0

Testing Plans: eh I'll figure that out next week

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: So FF gave me cross hairs on 16 and I think I Oed on CD15 or even CD 14. CD 15 I was up super hot and on CD 16 I was freezing. I guess it doesn't fully matter except when to test and at least it shows I did O.

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? Reese Cups are my fav but I swear they make a dry cheaper version for Halloween so Kit Kats.

teamginger13 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 11/12

CD/DPO: 16/3

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

Testing Plans: waiting for AF

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I am pretty happy with our timing this month. Also, AF is expected on our anniversary (11/1) so either I will be upset and DH will spoil me or we will be celebrating something other than our marriage

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? sour patch kids!!

britters314 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 18/5

Timing: -3, 0

Testing Plans: Waiting until 17dpo because I have a doctor appt that day

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I had a pretty big temp spike today, but I have no idea if that means anything. I didn't have anything like that on previous charts, though my previous charts had a lot of open circles so it still could be meaningless.

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? Dots

sldp123 · October 2015

@jhems776 I am pretty new to this, but would FF be saying CD16 because of the positive OPKs? I thought you wouldn't continue getting positives after O, but I could be wrong.

Mobile peeps can't see your signature

jhems776 · October 2015

Here it is for the mobile peeps! Also, this is the third month I have gotten three positive OPKs (yes real positives). Multiple positives is not uncommon but more than three or four can be signs of problems.

EasterEggs · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 24/11

Timing: -4(x2), -2, -1, 0, +1

Testing Plans: 3 more days.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I'm starting to symptom spot, even though I swore I wouldn't! I went to bed at 9pm last night because I couldn't stay awake and woke up at 9:30am! I always love sleep but I don't normally sleep a solid 12.5 hours, so my first thought this morning was "hmm, I wonder..."

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? Mars bars and Reese's pieces!

noelietrex · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 30/9

Timing: ED/EOD because felt unsure of O (still do)

Testing Plans: waited until today. BFN as suspected.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Just waiting for AF. Hope she doesn't show until Saturday so I can have a 10 day LP at least. Temps still high, but my temps were high 2 days into AF at the beginning of this cycle and took a sec to drop so that doesn't necessarily mean much. Can I drink yet?! Sheesh!

GTKY: I love peanut M&Ms but we are giving out toys this year and keeping the sugar out of our house! Earn your Turkey November is coming up and I've decided if getting pregnant is going to make me nuts I'm going to focus on getting shredded instead!

knitmama · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: CD21 / 10 DPO

Timing: ED/EOD

Testing Plans: BFN this morning. Will probably test EOD till AF because I'm too anxious.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: AF is still 5 days away but I'm starting to feel like I'm out and very bummed.

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? Reese's peanut butter cups all year long! But DD has severe nut allergies, so no more Halloween candy in this house.

I'm not the best chart interpreter, but it makes me anxious when FF gives me solid CHs on the same day as a pos OPK, like it did for you - it happens quite frequently, but my body is wonky with regards to producing fertile CM and I think that confuses FF. CD 16 looks most plausible, however, possibly CD 17 - i think the dip on the 18th could be a fluke low temp.

Yeah, the CH the same day as the second positive OPK is what's throwing me off. I did have definite O pain the afternoon/evening CD16, so I'm thinking it could have happened overnight on CD16/17.

Based on your opks I would say 14. The directions on mine say to stop after you get a positive because your not testing for how long the LH stays in your system you only care about when it starts to show. It's hard to say what's going on with your chart. Your missing days and have so many open circles I can't really make a call? I kept thinking "well if this one was actually higher.... And this one was actually really lower then...." But you could do that for days and get a different answer everytime. I would try harder next cycle to keep it consistent and get some hard data. Sorry I'm not much help

britters314 · October 2015

@jhems776 It looks like CD16 is correct to me! CM doesn't quite line up, but temps and OPKs do. Also FF says that they can figure out the O date pretty well even with unusual temps and open circles, so I wouldn't distrust your temps too much.

housewifehobbyist · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 19/6

Timing: -3,-2,-1,2x0

Testing Plans: Sunday, which is only 9dpo...I know, leave me alone.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I am symptom spotting like a crazy person this go round, and my temps, which have been very level this cycle, went from 97.67 to 97.37 to 98.02 in the past three days. I figure if I'm just sooo convinced I implanted 6dpo then I should be able to turn a test 9dpo, plus Sunday is my only day off with H, so if its a BFP then we celebrate and if its a BFN then we drink some good beers and eat nachos. I'm due for AF on Thursday so I'll test Wednesday and Saturday if Sunday is a no.

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? I love sweet & salty, so Reese's have always been my favorite. We're in a new very kid friendly neighborhood this year so we're getting a lot of candy... and lots of it Reese's in case we have leftovers.

styler91 · October 2015

@PocketFullOfShells

Same boat here.... my LP is averaging around 12/13 days, and I've gotten two BFN's so far... but no signs of AF creeping up... soo... anxiously awaiting one or the other...

I plan on doing the IUI route starting next year if nothing happens by then...I'm a little nervous about it, but also excited for moving on to something else.

Good luck to you!!!

FXing for us both!

ETA: Quote box fail... not sure how to fix this.... Sorry!

styler91 · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 22/ 5

CD/DPO: 28 / 13dpo

Timing: -1, +1

Testing Plans: Already tested twice with BFNs... AF is late according to FF... but I plan on testing again Saturday.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: anxiously awaiting either AF or a BFP..... preferably the BFP. FXing!

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? I'm a tootsie kind of gal.... love me some tootsie rolls!

styler91 · October 2015

@mrshjd98

are you temping? You may have O'd later than you think, if you are only using OPK's... they just let you know when you are gearing up to O, but not that you have actually O'd.

Lilybee8614 · October 2015

@styler91 FX for your BFP

Im in the same boat....

CD/DPO: 26/12

Month/cycle: 8/9

Timing: -5,-4,-2,-1,0

Testing: I wanted to this morning but my temp took a big nose dive, it's technically still above cover line but I'm not expecting it to be good news. I was not looking forward to getting another BFN so I didn't test. But AF still hasn't shown her little face here yet. What do you ladies think? Am I still in the game?

Rant/Rave/Chart stalk: see above.

GTKY: Halloween candy? Oh man, I can't get enough of Reese's cups. Or peanut butter M&M. Funny but weird fact, I do not like peanut butter on my toast or whatever only in candy form. Hehe

bbrooke92 · October 2015

****I HAVE A QUESTION****

Month/Cycle: 7

CD/DPO: 27/5

Timing: -1, O, O+1

Testing Plans: I have a hair apt Tuesday & that would put me at 10 DPO. I wouldn't want to risk anything getting a color

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Nothing to Rant about here. Raving because there's a lot of rain headed our way & we really need it in SW Oklahoma. My questions.... This is my 3rd cycle temping. My first cycle, I ovulated at CD15 & my LP was 15 days. 2nd cycle was crazy. not normal at all for me & the longest I've ever had. I ovulated at CD34 & my LP was only 9 days. Can anyone help me guesstimate how long my LP will be this cycle? 12? Also, my temp went really high this morning & it doesn't correlate with anything else on my previous charts. I thought that was... different.

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? I'm not a candy person. My "drug" of choice is carbs. Especially pizza. I cant resist.

MotherOfDucks · October 2015

Heading over to WTO. It was just a 33 day cycle. See you soon.

crdo · October 2015

********BFP Mentioned*******

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 30/14

Timing: -5, -3 to 0

Testing Plans: Tested today!!

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: DH came home from his business trip a little while ago. I saved a sample of FMU to test (I know, I know...there was pee in a cup on my counter, but you do what you gotta do). After being home for 2 mins, DH says "So, are we gonna do this?". Well, both Wondfo and FRER agree....BFP. We held each other and cried (I sobbed, he teared up all stoic-like). I said "I can't believe it. I'm actually...pregnant!". DH pulled away and held my face and said "I can. I believed it would happen all along."

Tears are streaming down my face as I type this. I cannot express how thankful I am for all of you wonderful ladies--for the knowledge you've shared, the sassy sense of humor, and the supportive community created here. I truly wish you all the best.

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? All of it. If it's candy, I eat it.

bbrooke92 · October 2015

@crdo I knew it!!!!! I think we all did

congratulations to you & your H! I hope you have a happy & healthy 9 months!

jennifer0428 · October 2015

@crdo I knew it! Your chart looked awesome yesterday! Good for you for waiting for DH! Congrats!

Also I love BFPs that aren't cycle/month : 1/1!!

housewifehobbyist · October 2015

CONGRATULATIONS @crdo!! Your story made me tear up a little!

Happy and Healthy 9 months!! I hope some more of us will be able to join you on the July BMB soon!!!

MNturnsVA · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 6/4th month temping

CD/DPO: 24/ 5 DPO

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

Testing Plans: I'm going to continue temping this month because of everything else I have going on and hopefully I won't go BSC again towards the end. I'm trying to tell myself its all out of my hands at this point and I can't control it and the only temp that will actually matter or give me any sort of insight is going to be the one starting on CD 12. That's it. Plus I don't like BFNS and I know I would be going crazy at my sisters next weekend if AF hadn't shown and not having temped and not knowing what was going on.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Not much today. Just really looking forward to the weekend and I've got a lot going on at work next week and life, so hopefully the next week will fly by. I am not going to get overly optimistic at this point about our chances this cycle because I just don't want to go there and I have an appt set up with an RE for the first week in Nov. I'm also going to get my CD 21 blood draw tomorrow (even though it will really be CD 25, I'm not playing the OBs games)

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? I'm not much of a candy fan, more brownies, cookies, stuff like that

@chrlyr It didn't take the CH away, so I'd agree with FF. Or agree with BeachTigress about the other fertility signs making it give you CH the day that it did. What happens if you take the other fertility signs out and just leave temps in??

@PocketFullofshells I completely understand how you are feeling. If we don't get a BFP this month I have an appt to see an RE. Although I'm not sure how quickly I'm wanting to jump into a medicated cycle or IUI or anything like that. But I do want to get an HSG done for sure before the end of the year.

@Al_TwinCities FX for you

@MEA0320 We need to finish October strong!! FX for you too!!

@belle714 the spotting may not be a bad thing necessarily......I wouldn't go getting any baby items but spotting this early isn't necessarily a bad thing.

@misskay913 Your timing looks good FX for you!

@jhems776 i think your chart looks pretty accurate to me

@bcooke314 I wish I had some advice or input for you on that, but all I have is it could be anything

@EasterEggs That is crazy about how long and well you slept.....maybe your body just needed it?? Trying not to encourage SS here.....

@noelietrex You can drink, lots of women drink until its pink!! Also I heard that the baby wouldn't be affected anyways until you were 6 weeks along?? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I feel like that is what I've seen around here. The blood stream or what the baby would get isn't affected until then? And I can't wait until I can work out again!!! I'm going BSC over here

@housewifehobbyist AF is due the same day for us

@styler91 What the heck?!? I hope that you just don't have enough hormones yet to turn a test.....

@mrshjd98 you should probably talk to your dr first before doing any progesterone creams. Using supplements like that is usually frowned upon with out clearing that with them first.

@Lilybee8614 How long is your LP usually? How do your temps this month compare to months in the past? have you always tested? I'd guess AF would be here with in the next 24- 48 hours depending on your previous months charts/temps. For me, when my temp drops significantly, AF is coming and usually within 24 hours or less.

@bbrooke92 You'll honestly have to probably just wait it out to see how long the LP will be this month, or you could try to average it out? But I think you'll probably just have to wait it out. I would think the hair color should be safe. Temp spike could be anything really, a little early for an implantation dip. did you feel warm this AM when you woke up??

@MotherOfDucks Sorry about AF!!!

@Crdo I knew it!!! Awesome!! I'd been hoping that you were going to let us know sooner than later!! So happy for you!!

LittleMissTimeLord · October 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 19/5

Timing: -2, 0

Testing Plans: 14 DPO, Halloween... Hopefully. If I can make it that long...

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: FF is telling me based on my last chart that it expects AF in 6 days. But my period only app is telling me AF will be here in 17 days. I'm just frustrated with the confusion. Unless I have an insanely long luteal phase (19+ days), my ovulation happened earlier than I expected (by a week). FF is measuring my expected AF date based on the assumed ovulation date last cycle, but my times charting weren't consistent so I'm not sure I agree with the O date last cycle. This is my first cycle using OPKs so I'm telling myself, at the very least, if a baby doesn't come out of this cycle then at least some more information will. I'll have a better idea of my LP so I can better gauge when to test during future cycles. I'm tired and grumpy today.

I've been really lethargic the last two days. Halloween seems like a million years away right now, but I really want to hold out. Plus, DH leaves for work before I wake up Mon-Fri and he wants to be here when I test, so I would have to wait until the weekend (and this weekend is only 7DPO and 8DPO so I'm definitely not testing then).

GTKY--With Halloween coming, what's your favorite candy? I have an insane sweet tooth so most chocolate-related candy is my jam. But my Halloween specific jam is candy corn. I love how you can smell it from the aisle too. SO GOOD.

crdo · October 2015

Thank you so much ladies!! I'll be lurking fo sho to watch for your BFPs!! Fingers crossed for all of you

housewifehobbyist · October 2015

@MNturnsVA FX we both get good news next week!
