I know I mentioned a concern prior about Post O temps that haven't reached 98 which seems ok, but has anyone experienced flat temps like I am right now? This is day four of 97.9...just want to make sure it's nothing to be concerned about.
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? I love New Hampshire
@misskay913 I haven't been temping long but haven't seen my temps repeat or anyone's chart like that in all my studying on ff or chart stalks here. Is it the same thermometer you've been using and how old it is? It looks like something may be wrong with your thermometer
TTC1: May 2015
Primary IF May 2016; Failed HSG; Scheduled Lap Sept. 2016
@sarah0985 thanks for your response...thermometer is no more than 2 years old. I questioned it too at first because I thought my Pre-O temps were everywhere, but I bought a new one and they are reading the same!
Timing: -6, -4, -2, -1, +1 (yes, I know -6 is irrelevant; I'm just listing all of the timing.)
Testing Plans: BFN today. Not surprised. I will test tomorrow -- again, only in case it's + so I can tell my mom in person. After tomorrow if BFN, not until AF is late.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: so, major drop today...below cover line. What???? That's not in any of my other charts...sigh. None of my charts look very similar
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? My bed!! Lol
CD1 for me. I'll be over in WTO, waiting for November which is month 18 TTC. Last cycle before we start infertility testing in December.
me 30; DH 35 TTC since May 2014. Aug 2014 BFP, EDD April 22, 2015. Low progesterone, started suppositories. Loss at 5w6d. Nov 19, 2015 BFP at 13 dpo, EDD July 29, 2016. MMC discovered 12/29 (9+4). Natural miscarriage 1/16 (12+1). AMH results 0.42, 1.2; FSH 12.1, AFC 10, dx DOR. RPL testing results normal. Nurse recommended progesterone suppositories in TWW. Clomid + trigger + TI cycle August 2016 - failed. Thin lining. Femara + trigger + TI cycle December 2016 - failed. Thin lining. Short LP (8 days). Acupuncture & Chinese herbs starting January 2017, lengthened LP to 10 days
Testing Plans: This Sunday. If BNF, waiting until AF
Chart Stalk: I've been through the gambit with thermometers. I know you shouldn't switch mid cycle, but my Target thermometer was A POS, so I got the regular Vicks one while waiting for my Mabis to come in. I stated using Mabis on cd25 abd it was pretty consistent with my other temps, so Thai made me happy. My question is about the slight dip in my temp yesterday, cd26. This is my first month temping, so I'm not sure what to look for in a possible implantation dip, or if I'm already out because my temp went down. Thoughts? Experience? TIA!
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? North Truro, Cape Cod :x
@mali0902 take a look at the chart gallery on FF, and see what the post-O temps are doing for people. Your temp is still above the CL, so the slight drop might mean nothing. Typically an ID goes down and then immediately back up - it doesn't seem likely that you are experiencing that, since your temp only went slightly up after the dip. But in general my advice would be to try not to read too much into your temps - there are charts that look promising that don't result in a BFP, and charts that look like AF is coming that do result in a BFP! Definitely spend some time on the FF chart gallery.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: today is my 4th day of high temps so I think I'm going to quit temping for the rest of the cycle. I tend to overanalyze every post-o temp and it makes the TWW even more terrible than usual. Here's to trying to stay sane!
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? St. John
Testing plans: Already know I'm out this month so not even bothering.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: ****TMI Rant***My husband works just as many hours as I do, on a set schedule, although it's more physically demanding labor job than mine. My schedule is always changing and I work more into the night hours than he does. When I get home (especially when I know we're in our fertile window) I'll want to have sex and he (being home for at least three hours already) says that he's too tired or when we go to bed and he's asleep in two minutes - I know its not a lack of attraction for me because he will always watch me undress to put on my pajamas. He's not old. He's turning 32 in December. I don't know what to do. He knows I'm upset about it because you can see it all over my face and yet there he is snoring away anyway. If this pattern continues we will never be pregnant. It's so disappointing!
GTKY: What is your fave vacation spot? I don't know. My family and I have been a lot of places and I really like Cyprus and Spain but hubby and I have never been anywhere by ourselves so I can't judge on that side of it.
Testing plans: BFN this am. I have a short cycle so will test daily until AF (expecting today or tomorrow but who knows)
R/R/CS: with the exception of mid cycle it's been a relatively symptom free cycle. I haven't even had much pms drama (which has been the usual for me since going off BC). Not assuming that makes this cycle "the one" just interesting. I have a feeling I ovulated later than my last three cycles. I know temping is the only way to know for sure but I am not temping for reasons that make sense to me . I am feeling a little down about no BFP and likely impending AF but I am feeling much better and more calm about my BFNs than last cycle if that makes sense.
Favorite vacation spot: We try not to repeat location often but if I had to go to one place again it would be Aruba. That was an amazing island. And it's my profile pic on here.
Testing Plans: BFN this morning (dont know why I tested. urghhh) Now I will just try and wait for AF
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Even though I hate the idea of AF ending this cycle, I am ready and excited for the next one.
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? hmmm.. I love anywhere with a beach, but Belize and Dominican Republic are the two places I dream of visiting again!
Testing Plans: Broke and tested today at 12 dpo and had a positive on a dollar store test. Tested again with a ClearBlue and it's a blazing positive!
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: We are utterly thrilled, and a bit shocked I know I only got to spend one cycle here with you guys but I have appreciated the information you women have, and this has been a wonderful outlet for the TTC obsession. My fingers are crossed that all of you will get your BFPs soon!!!
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? Anywhere in the Rocky Mountains!
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: my cycles are getting shorter and shorter every month since coming off bcp and my luteal phase is consistently short so I keep ovulating earlier then I think im going to. The struggle.

Back on BC for a year to decide what we want to do.
Testing plans: as long as I can hold out... Trying to wait till Halloween at the earliest.
R/R/CS: this is my first month temping and I just got CH this morning. I'm really excited about charting my temps but a little nervous that they will dictate my mood for the day if it goes up or down.
*totally random thought that I will have to do Google research on- I wonder how old the statistic of having a 28 day cycle is. Most women I talk to have longer ones. Perhaps it is outdated?*
GTKY: Any warm beach! Love the water and relaxation.
@smfeuro I can totally sympathize with your rant. I am on CD 13 and we have not had sex AT ALL this cycle. I planned to do ED from Wednesday-Sunday (expected O date) or at least EOD, but nothing. We are always tired during the week, and we have a 7yo at home so alone time doesn't happen until later in the evening, but of course I would suck it up. But sometimes I feel like I'm badgering H about it, he has a medical condition that causes him to have back pain and fatigue sometimes, so I haven't even brought it up this week so of course it hasn't happened. We talked about it last weekend though and I told him what needed to happen and what days, and he asked about my temp on Monday or Tuesday and I told him it was still low and I expected to O Saturday or Sunday, so again he knows what needs to happen. I agree it is very frustrating and disappointing, I feel like it will never happen at this rate.
DS: June 2008 Married: July 2015 BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
Testing Plans: CD14 (Halloween) if I can stay strong.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I hope I can make it to CD14, Reviewing some older charts (like, 2014 older), my LP is usually around 12 days and FF is telling me AF will be here at 11DPO, So if that's the case, it wouldn't be craaaazy to to test at 12DPO. But then if I can make it to 12, what's another two days? Plus Halloween is fun.
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? I really haven't been that many places but I loved them all so much! Of the places I've been to, either Ireland or my grandpa's lake house growing up.
Testing Plans: I'm at the beginning of this wait so I have plenty of patience but I feel like it might change towards the end. Halloween is the earliest I would test - at this point.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: This is my first official TWW with temping & actually TTC. My H & I have been together a long time and we've pretty much always been NTNP, so this is exciting. I was worried that FF wouldn't work out for me since I am a total mouth breather but I've gotten the hang of it now and it's not bad at all. Now for fun sex and de-stressing about O'ing.
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot?
We've been quite a few places but honestly, put me on a clean beach anywhere and I'm happy.
Testing Plans: Staying strong and not testing until Monday... Just a few more days
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: TGIF for sure! Not too much on my end today. Just trying to be realistic and push those symptom spotting thoughts out of my head.
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? Siesta Key, Florida
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: This month's chart is so different from others~! I am still assuming FF is right, even though CH are still dashed. Based on past cycles, I shouldn't be O'ing til today or tomorrow, but temps just keep climbing.
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? We went to Costa Rica this year and it was amazing!
Testing Plans: timing is not great but I will start testing Friday since I have tentative plans to drink that day
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I think I will not temp again until Thursday to see what my temps look like.

@cait5413 your chart looks really good! Good luck!
@eastereggs I'm really happy for you! Congrats! A few weeks ago I posted a gtky and someone was really rude to me for no reason and maybe I was just emotional that day but it really hurt my feelings. You posted a comment in my defense and it really meant a lot at that moment and I wanted to thank you for being so kind. I hope you have a great pregnancy, you deserve it
Testing Plans: I keep changing it but I'm thinking Tues/dpo 13 if no AF by then.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: So my gums were bleeding today when I brushed my teeth so of course I went all BSC with SS. Not getting my hopes up though AF will prob be here Tom. Or sun.
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? I'm sure I haven't been to my favorite spot yet, there are so many places I want to visit but have yet to do so. The Dominican Republic was pretty awesome though, I would def go back again if I had the chance.
Testing Plans: BFN again today. Grabbed some dollar tree tests and I'm just going to pee on all the things till AF or BFP
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I knew it would take effort and planning and possibly several months to conceive, even though our first came so easily. But I wasn't prepared for this to be such an emotional roller coaster. I'm in tears over this mornings BFN. Tonight we're having wine for dinner. And maybe some sushi.
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? Italy. I studied abroad in Florence for a year and I'm dying to go back.
Testing Plans: not sure how long my LP is but I will try to be strong and hold out till 12-14 dpo if no AF by then.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: not the prettiest chart so I'm not confident that o is accurate. Temp dipped below the cover line at 4dpo but of course my crazy brain thinks "but what if I actually o'd on CD 25, then that could maybe possibly be an early implantation dip. Stupid brain, that's all I have to say
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? Somewhere European with lots of good coffee and wine. Although I have amazing memories of Disneyland from when I was a kid and I'm already planning our first family Disney trip in my mind for when my kids are old enough to do everything (so in like 10 years )

@eastereggs I'm really happy for you! Congrats! A few weeks ago I posted a gtky and someone was really rude to me for no reason and maybe I was just emotional that day but it really hurt my feelings. You posted a comment in my defense and it really meant a lot at that moment and I wanted to thank you for being so kind. I hope you have a great pregnancy, you deserve it
CD/DPO: 30/9
Timing: -1, +1
Testing Plans: I keep changing it but I'm thinking Tues/dpo 13 if no AF by then.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: So my gums were bleeding today when I brushed my teeth so of course I went all BSC with SS. Not getting my hopes up though AF will prob be here Tom. Or sun.
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? I'm sure I haven't been to my favorite spot yet, there are so many places I want to visit but have yet to do so. The Dominican Republic was pretty awesome though, I would def go back again if I had the chance.
@AL_TwinCities and @belle714 sorry hear about AF
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: CD23 / 11 DPO
Timing: almost ED during FW
Testing Plans: BFN again today. Grabbed some dollar tree tests and I'm just going to pee on all the things till AF or BFP
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I knew it would take effort and planning and possibly several months to conceive, even though our first came so easily. But I wasn't prepared for this to be such an emotional roller coaster. I'm in tears over this mornings BFN. Tonight we're having wine for dinner. And maybe some sushi.
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot? Italy. I studied abroad in Florence for a year and I'm dying to go back.
CD/DPO: 34/7
Timing: -5, -2
Testing Plans: not sure how long my LP is but I will try to be strong and hold out till 12-14 dpo if no AF by then.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: not the prettiest chart so I'm not confident that o is accurate. Temp dipped below the cover line at 4dpo but of course my crazy brain thinks "but what if I actually o'd on CD 25, then that could maybe possibly be an early implantation dip. Stupid brain, that's all I have to say
GTKY--What is your favorite vacation spot?
Somewhere European with lots of good coffee and wine. Although I have amazing memories of Disneyland from when I was a kid and I'm already planning our first family Disney trip in my mind for when my kids are old enough to do everything (so in like 10 years
