GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition?
July BMB May Signature Challenge
Re: TWW Sunday
CD/DPO: 29 / 11
Timing: -2, +1
Testing plans: AF was due yesterday, but no sign of her yet. I'm going to test every morning until I either get a BFP or AF comes.
R/R/CS: I've never had my temperature not drop by this time, but I also generally have irregular periods, so it could just be that. Argh, if I could but skip days just to know one way or the other.
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? My grandpa and I would always write little notes on people's napkins for Thanksgiving. Things like "you get to eat first" or "Stand up and say something you're thankful for". That's always been my fave tradition.
CD/DPO: 18/6
Timing: good - 4x in FW
Testing plans: Thursday and/or next Monday (not tomorrow)
R/R/CS: temp back up this morning. I ran/walked a 6.66 mile race yesterday and am a little sore but nothing crazy. Also, DH and I decided to put an offer in on a house we saw yesterday! This is our first so we are so nervous but excited!
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? When my dad was little, my great nana made up a tradition to get together the weekend after Christmas to open stockings. It took the pressure off getting together on the actual day with in-laws and other plans. We still do it even though great nana is long passed. Also it's a good place to bring Christmas leftovers and show off new gifts!

TTC #1 since January 2015
BFP #1: 11/30/15| MC 12/16/15BFP # 2: 6/2/16 | EDD 2/16/17
CD/DPO: 28/12
Timing: -5, -3, -2, 1
Testing plans: I apparently had a fluke wondfo that showed up positive but tried again and BFN. I'll test everyday until AF or BFP.
R/R/CS: That wondfo sent me into a tizzy. I'm checking out mentally until tomorrow.
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition?
It may be boring but we always have lasagna for Christmas Eve dinner and have a big breakfast on Christmas day.
ETA: I'm so sorry about CD1, @dogmomwantinghuman
July BMB May Signature Challenge
CD/DPO: 18/3
Timing: -1
Testing plans: I'd love to be all zen-like and tell you all I'm going to wait until AF is due.. but in reality I have a package full of wondfro's and no self control. And also in both of my previous pregnancies I've had positives at 8dpo. So I'll probably test early and often. I am a proud POAS addict.
R/R/CS: Not thrilled with our timing. DH was out of town until -1. And then sick after that
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? When I was a kid, my favorite tradition was Christmas morning. My grandfather lived a few blocks from him and we lost my grandma when I was 6. So We'd wake up and my brother, sister, and I would look through out stockings and call him to tell him Santa had come
TTC #2 again: July 2017
CD/DPO: 18/3
Timing: -4, -1
Testing plans: None
R/R/CS: Still have brown spotting (this is the fourth day) that has not gotten any heavier but hasn't gone away. No idea what is going on with my body. I'm worried that there is some kind of problem down there that my BCP was covering up or something... or maybe it's just yet another weird side effect of going off BCP? Toward the end there I wasn't getting periods at all on BCP, so maybe my body is making up for lost time lol. Either way, I am feeling very much out for this month. I'm trying to console myself that the timing of next month will actually be better in the long run, but it doesn't help much...
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? During the past few years, DH and I have started decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. I love it! We watch Christmas movies and make the house all pretty. This will be our first married holiday season with our own house, and we got a lot of new decorations at the after xmas sales last year, so I'm super excited for it!
It's a boy!
@blonde1817 I would deffinitley contribute your brown spotting to going off birth control. It can take a couple months for your body to regulate itself.
CD/DPO: 30/12
Timing: Not great.
Testing plans: None. Waiting for AF to show up - probably will be tomorrow.
R/R/CS: Nothing today.
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? We put up Christmas decorations weekend of Thanksgiving. Presents are always Christmas Eve for Hubby and I so Christmas is just family time and we can keep our Christmas separate from the big hoopla that will be this year.

CD/DPO: 27/7
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing: bfn today, I know it's too early to test
R/R/CS: 7 in laws were here all weekend. I love them but I'm ready to have my house back.
GTKY: My family always eats french onion soup on Christmas Eve and orange rolls on Christmas morning. I like it.
CD/DPO: 37/12
Timing: Fine
Testing plans: Tested yesterday and Saturday and got -s. I don't know how long my LP is yet so I will probably just wait out most of next week.
R/R/CS: I am mostly feeling calm and okay about things since this is only our first cycle trying and I am just glad to have ovulated at a relatively reasonable time.
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? I love everything about Christmas but the anticipation of gifts on Christmas morning still makes me feel like a child.
CD/DPO: 24/5
Timing: O-1 and O+1
Testing plans: 10 dpo
R/R/CS: I'm good today!

CD/DPO: 27/10
Timing: -2,-1,O
Testing plans: I tested today and there was a huge squinter on a wondfo. I am not calling it so I am testing again tomorrow when AF is due. See below as to why I didn't test again
R/R/CS: I am a bit nervous, I don't want to call that a BFP that I saw this morning. While I was waiting for the results, I threw out my FMU so I couldn't try again =(. I am going to try again tomorrow with a FRER. I tested this morning because my temps went back up close to 98deg
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? Every year my DH's cousins get together and bake cookies and desserts for Christmas the night before. I love doing that!
TTC #2 again: July 2017
Month/cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 29/15
Timing: -2, 0
Testing plans: Not sure
R/R/CS: Still no sign of AF and she's definitely a morning person. Probably going to stop at Dollar Tree while I'm out today to get a handful of HPTs. Likelihood of being pregnant at this point is slim but since AF hasn't shown I'll probably test every couple of days.
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? My immediate family moved hundreds of miles away from the rest of the family when I was in high school. Before that, holidays were full of house hopping and loud get togethers in nice clothes. It's not really a tradition, but since we moved away, since it's just the few of us, our Christmases in particular are special for me. We wake up late, stay in our pajamas all day, and the booze comes out at noon. Beer and pajamas. A nice cozy Christmas.
CD/DPO: 34/6
Timing: -2, -1
Testing plans: waiting patiently for another week (trying to). It'll be cycle day 43 that I'll test on, unless AF shows up.
R/R/CS: I wasn't as crazy this cycle as I was my first cycle of trying. I didnt over analyze and synptom spot and generally lose my mind over everything. Much better this way!
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition?
We always used to go out back on our property and chose and chop down a Christmas. Then we'd drag it back to our house, well dad would. We'd all decorate the tree together. Was so simple but fun!
CD/DPO: 24/ 14??
Timing: EOD
Testing plans: BFN today, will try to wait till Tuesday for the next one
R/R/CS: I couldn't figure out why FF was telling me that AF was due today, since my cycles average 25.5 days and I wasn't temping earlier this month. Then with the change to the November calendar I realized that I just didn't know how to read FF! Silly me, FF says that AF is due Monday! Also, I finally did research on my cheapie HPTs compared to FRERs and it's really pretty silly for me to have been using them so early in the cycle since they're not so sensitive.
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? My family eats appetizers for dinner on Xmas Eve. I love it! After we got married, I started the tradition of DH and I wearing matching jammies on Christmas Eve. I've gotten pretty ridiculous with them - last year they were adult onesie pajamas.
TTC #2 again: July 2017
CD/DPO: 19/5
Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,0,+1
Testing plans: Nov 6 at the earliest
R/R/CS: nothing this morning
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? Going out in the woods to get our tree and decorating it
ETA: FX @chanfa and sorry for CD1 @dogmomwantinghuman and @bcooke314
DS1 -- 9/30/2016
CD/DPO: 29/13
Timing: 0
Testing plans: I tested yesterday and BFN. AF is usually here by now, 29 days being my longest cycle since off bc 4 months ago (last month was 25).. I didn't test today I'm going to see if she shows up. If not, I'll test tomorrow morning.
R/R/CS: I don't want to go to work tomorrow. That's all I got.
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? Christmas Eve the whole family gathers at my aunts. It's been that way since I was a baby. I love it.

BFP September 2022 - Due June 2023!
Month/cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 22/9
Timing: O only
Testing plans: Tested again today with a Wondfo and it was white as can be. My Walmart had some of the old style FRER so I bought a pack and will use one tomorrow if I make it through today with no spotting and my temp stays up. I have been spotting at 9DPO typically.
R/R/CS: Just the usual driving myself crazy.
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? Thanksgiving breakfast at my parents. It's nothing elaborate but me and my sisters go over early and it's nice to have that time before the craziness of the big thanksgiving dinner with extended families later. Would be really nice to share news of a BFP then.
Married: July 2015
BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
CD/DPO: 19\6
Timing: -5,-3,-2
Testing plans: November 6 th at the earliest. FF recommends the 14th as that's the end of scheduled AF.
R/R/CS: This app sucks on my phone. While trying to comment it says you do not have permission to do that.. it does this all the time.

CD/DPO: 19/5* (This is a guestimation FF made this cycle because I didn't temp, but charted CM and opk. Last month with temping I got solid crosshairs on cycle day 14.)
Timing: EOD since AF, ED during FW except "o" day and HIO for EOD the week after.
Testing plans: AF due/or late which should be in the next 8-9 days
R/R/CS: After BD last night I told DH okay we have to stop now…. BDing is becoming like a part time job. It's really fun the first few times after AF, but then it becomes like something I need to do rather then really want to do. Unfortunately due to my inability to temp (I had AWFUL insomnia and early awakening when I was temping) we are just going to have to keep HIO this much every cycle until I hopefully get my BFP.
CD/DPO: 26/5
Timing: -3, -2, -1, +1
Testing plans: 10dpo (Friday!) but the more I read on FF the more I think I might wait once Friday rolls around.
R/R/CS: I got nothin today.
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? Spiced cider and hanging out on Christmas Eve.

CD/DPO: 31/12
Timing: EOD after AF, then ED during FW
Testing plans: I got 5 very white BFNs in a row, so I didn't test this morning. AF is officially 2 days late today (was due Friday 10/30). I will test again Tuesday if AF doesn't show by then.
R/R/CS: This is a weird effing cycle. My temp keeps declining, and I was fully expecting to wake up to spotting this morning with the temp decline, but I had watery whitish CM with zero visible spotting. I hate this purgatory nonsense.
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? DH and I didn't have any family in the area for a long time, so we started going out for super fancy steak dinner on Christmas Eve, and have jammies all day on Christmas. We've been doing it every year since we've been together!
CD/DPO: CD can't be sure DPO 2
Timing: -2 & 0
Testing plans: Probably from DPO9
R/R/CS: I'm in my first cycle and stopped pill mid packet - never tracked cycle length before so can't be sure about the length etc, but got a + OPK over 3 days then a -OPK Saturday so I am sure of that - temps confirm that too. If it doesn't happen this month at least I'll have more info to go from next month. Lower back is killing today so sitting hear with a water bottle - think my body needs a good oil while the cogs start working again.

BFP #4 1/2016, DD born 10/2016
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 15/5?
Timing: If I'm actually 5 DPO, then -5, -2, -1, 0. If I'm only 2 DPO, which is what I would really think, then -5, -4, -3, -1.
Testing plans: 12 DPO, or once AF comes. We'll see.
R/R/CS: Chart Stalk, please? FF is saying I O'd on CD 10. I would think CD 13 would be more accurate? I don't know... Either way, or timing is good, so I'm trying not to stress about it. I'm just curious what everyone else thinks.
ETA: FF says the dotted CH are because I'm only temping, not including CM. I haven't been checking it this cycle or the last. The one open dot is because I temped an hour earlier because I was up earlier.

PG #2, EDD 10/12/2023
CD/DPO: 34/11
Timing: -3, -1
Testing plans: tested Oct. 30 and got a BFN. Am going to test again on either Nov. 3 or 4 if no AF.
R/R/CS: My temps are so messed up I don't even know what to think. I'm on vacation this weekend which means I need to wake up at normal people time instead of really late like I do for work. Plus I'm in a colder environment. So I had a huge dip yesterday morning but it never went below the cover line. Then today it spiked back up to almost as high as it was. I think I can't rely on temps this month due to the inconsistency. I would attach my chart but can't do it on my mobile phone. In the mean time AF symptoms are getting worse so I'm expecting that to show up any day now.
GTKY - What is your favorite family holiday tradition? When I was a kid I talked my parents into doing a picnic on the floor while we watched it's a wonderful life on Christmas Eve. We had such a great time doing it that it became a regular tradition. Even though I work Christmas, my parents come to visit DH and I a couple weeks before and we do our Christmas Eve tradition then. It's a lot of fun.
