Re: TWW Wednesday
CD/DPO: 25/11
Timing: -4 -3 -2 -1 O
Testing plans: The plan is to test on Friday at 13dpo but DH mentioned testing tomorrow morning so we will see.
R/R/CS: I woke up with another freaking headache! Gah!
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself! One thing I like about myself is that I am super organized.
I'll probably still lurk a bit and my fingers are crossed for all of your BFPs!
CD/DPO: 28/7
Timing: -2, 0
Testing plans: Likely tomorrow, even though it's early. I have a big bag of wondfos and zero self-control.
R/R/CS: Still have an upset stomach and cramping. Huge temp spike today. But I know that means nothing. My mantra for the day is *I will not symptom spot. I will not symptom spot*
Chart attached for those that are into that.
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself!
I think I am a pretty compassionate person. DH says it's my best and worst quality because sometimes people take advantage of it. I'm known for giving second chances and being the person others lean on for support during a hard time, the keeper of others sercrets, etc. I like to see the best in people until they give me a reason not to.
CD/DPO: 30/13
Timing: -5,-1,+1
Testing plans: I've had 3 BFNs since Friday. Think I'm over it until Friday. After that I will wait for AF.
R/R/CS: I'm all over the place. One minute I'm KU, the next AF is imminent. If AF comes, I think it would be this weekend. Since I haven't had AF since June without the help of progesterone, I'm confused if I'm feeling the signs or not. Only time will tell!
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself!
Physically: my smile. I have really white, straight teeth and get compliments all the time.
Personality: leadership ability. Sometimes I'm surprised people take me seriously, esp at work because most of the time I'm cracking jokes in my head. But for some reason, when I speak, people listen. Poor people?!
NTNP: May 2015
TTC #1: late August 2015
PCOS Dx: January 2016, starting Femara Feb 2016
BFP: 2/29/16 - Happy Leap Day!
CD/DPO: 21/6
Timing: -4, -1, 2
Testing plans: Maybe Saturday if I want a glass of wine. If not, I'll try to hold out until after AF is due on 11/14.
R/R/CS: I'm trying really hard to find ways to distract myself from my baby fever! I feel like for now, temping an charting are not so good for me, it just makes me anxious. Who knows, next month I may decide to pick back up with it, and add OPKs too, but for this month my window of opportunity is over so I'm trying to just not do anything. I'm trying to get back into working out on most days and taking the dogs for long walks on the other days. There are also decorating and organizing projects around the house that I've been putting off, so I think "the wait" would be a good time to focus on that stuff.
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself! I don't need much to be happy, I'm pretty good at enjoying the simple pleasures of everyday life.
It's a boy!
CD/DPO: 25/12
Timing: O
Testing plans: None
R/R/CS: Well, my temp dropped today. It's still above the cover, but I am having some spotting, so this is it. AF will be here in a day or two. Really disappointed. I know it's only been a few months, but I let my hopes get sky high this month and it sucks. **tmi** I have posted before about my DH having possible/suspected retrograde ejaculation. But it doesn't seem to happen all the time, and I know for sure this month when we had sex on O day that things worked as they should, so I was really thinking we had a good chance. The plan has been to try for the rest of this year, then see a doctor/RE because of this possible issue, but I think I'm going to talk to DH about making an appointment for December if we can. We can always cancel it if by some chance next month works out. He is just so optimistic though, said we'll "try harder" next month and hopefully make it happen. I know he's trying to help, but I just want to feel sorry for myself for a minute.
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself! Right now, nothing, lol. Ugh. I guess I need this question today. Physically, I always get compliments on my hair and nails. Personality wise, I'm very compassionate and open-minded.
Married: July 2015
BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
CD/DPO: 24/2
Timing: eod during Fw
Testing plans: 11/14 I have a wedding that night I'll be 12DPO
R/R/CS:
Not much. Temp spiked again. One more high temp and I'll get crosshair. Seriously thinking of stopping temping after my crosshair. My triphasic chart last month with my BFN made me realize post O temping is just turning me into BSC SS expert
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself!
I like the fact that I'm not afraid to get out of my comfort zone. I gave up a really good teaching job (with tenure),
My family and my country to move here and I never looked back. Now I just started my photography business and I'm a little afraid but still going forward.
CD/DPO: 26/13
Timing: -4, -3, -2, 0, +1
Testing plans: I've been testing since 10 dpo with bfn's all over the place. I'm done. I'm calling it quits for this month
R/R/CS: bfn, cramping, and my boobs hurt. My temp is still up but I expect it to start dropping tomorrow and AF to show on Saturday...onto cycle 13 which is the last one before my RE appt.
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself! Physically I like my eyes. Personality wise I like my work ethic and ability to make people laugh.

Month/cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO:32/5
Timing: -2, O
Testing plans: Fri the 13th. I have a bachelorette party on Saturday. No idea when AF is due, so we'll see.
R/R/CS:Just happy my CH are still there!
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself!Uhhh. I like that I'm weird. And I like other weirdos
CD/DPO: 30/10
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing: Tomorrow!
R/R/CS: Yesterday I had I the tiniest amount of spotting, so of course I'm all like "Yay implantation bleeding!" Today my temp spiked pretty high, highest it's been this cycle. The crazy SS needs to stop haha. I will know when I test.
GTKY: Physically, my abs. Personality, I'm very dependable.
CD/DPO: 20/4
Timing: O, +1
Testing plans: none
R/R/CS: dh is having a really hard time with it taking "forever". I'm trying to explain that it seems longer because of what happened but 5 months isn't actually a long time. He keeps thinking something happened to me and that's why it hasn't happened yet. Poor guy
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself!
I've always been a puppies and rainbows person. That took a hit this year but I'm proud to say that it isn't gone completely. Also, I'm much stronger than I thought.

Afton Noelle born 4/10/19 at 38w5d via natural VBAC
CD/DPO: 40/15
Timing: Fine
Testing plans: Not sure yet. I resisted this morning.
R/R/CS: Day 3 of spotting. I had expected (well, I don't really know what to expect since this is my first cycle charting) to see a big temperature drop this morning but it was about the same as yesterday.
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself! I am an optimist but also a fatalist. It's kind of a weird combination but I think it keeps me balanced and at peace.
CD/DPO: 22/8
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing plans: Monday I guess. I don't know.
R/R/CS: My temperature PLUMMETED today. Hoping it goes back up tomorrow and that I can count it as a possible good sign instead of an AF is coming early sign. Oh, the waiting game. <hushed giggle>: Does anyone else sometimes catch themselves hoping the day passes quickly so they can wake up and temp? I had a great run and was in a great mood last night, and overall I'm trying to focus on that it's so exciting that we are TTC and that I should stop assuming it's going to be fraught with problems until/unless it is. Way too soon to borrow trouble. And if it is problematic: I know I have a board of awesome people to talk about it with. Thanks, guys! <wipes tear>
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself! I like that I am an optimist. I think it helps me recover from times of adversity. Sometimes it is tested WAY hard, but eventually I get back.
CD/DPO: 22\9
Timing: -5, -3, -2
Testing plans: I'm trying to hold out until at least Friday.. but it's hard!!
R/R/CS: I got bangs last night!! Haven't had them since high school. They are a little shorter than I would like but my hair grows so fast that I am not too worried about it!
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself! I am a people person. LOVE to make others happy and that is where I get my true happiness. It does have it's set backs, as @katetastrophem stated, people take advantage of that. I do have a pretty good read on people though so that helps!

CD/DPO: 23/9
Timing: -2,-1, 0,+1
Testing plans: Nov. 10th (15dpo)
R/R/CS: I'm not temping during the tww so I don't have as much to obsess over! I usually get spotting at about 12dpo indicating AF is coming so I'll just be waiting for that.

Surgery Dec 2016: submucosal fibroid removed
Awaiting RE appointment
Month/cycle: 1
CD/DPO: 31/15
Timing: -5, -3, -2, 1
Testing plans: Hmph. See R/R/CS.
R/R/CS: So, this AM I woke up around 4 AM for whatever reason and I knew that I was not going to get 3 more hours of sleep so I took my temp. It was WAY lower so I just knew that AF was coming. Then, I woke up around my regular time of 5:30 and just for shits and giggles, I took my temp again. It was WAY higher than normal. I decided just to POAS and see what happens. After about 3 minutes, the wondfo was BFN/stark white so I hopped in the shower. I get out of the shower and there's a faint second line. This batch of wondfos has been so cruel to me. I had already thrown out my FMU so I just decided to leave it alone. Does anyone here have experience with evap lines on wondfos?! My brain hurts.

July BMB May Signature Challenge
CD/DPO: 18/8
Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0
Testing plans: 10-12 DPO.
R/R/CS: It just hit me that I got to 8 DPO without AF coming (which didn't happen last time I got CH, and last month I didn't get CH at all; my fault). So I'm starting to go BSC already. It's our last cycle trying for a while, so I'm like... looking at my excessive amount of tests and thinking there's no point in saving them, right? So, why not? I mean... just to see? It'll be totally fine, I won't need them for a while...

PG #2, EDD 10/12/2023
CD/DPO: 38 / 8
Timing: -3, -2
Testing plans: tested this am. All my wondos have marks / dents because DD and DS dumped them all out and played with them (in the package) and the indents play tricks on your eyes. SO, I peed on a FRER, because I had a BFP at 8 dpo last cycle before my loss. There was a very faint line, but I am almost 100% sure its evap, it looks colorless. I'm mad that I wasted an FRER this early.
R/R/CS: I had a big temp drop today, which normally means AF as I have a short LP, but I took it an hour early due to DD waking up, andplusalso I am on progesterone this cycle, my LP should not still be this short. Praying it doesn't mean AF and it goes back up tomorrow.
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself! I like how kind I am to others.
@Buttermybiscuit I have had evaps on wondfo in the past, it doesn't happen often, but I never trust them unless I can see it right away.
CD/DPO: 29/16

R/R/CS: I started spotting this morning so am likely out. I hope I don't see you guys in WTO

Timing: EOD
Testing plans: AF typically comes on CD 39 so if she doesn't show i'll start testing
R/R/CS: I had some cramping yesterday and I feel like I'm out this cycle. I guess we'll just wait and see, but I don't have any hope. On the positive side, I'm ordering my BBT today so I can start temping next cycle. I'm weirdly excited about this.

Testing plans: None.
R/R/CS: TMI warning... Day 3 of brown spotting. Seemed like it was stopping last night, but it continues, although not quite as much? I have no idea. AF isn't due for another week. DH thinks it's a good sign, and I just want him to shut up. This morning I dropped a bowl on the floor, and it didn't even break, but I burst into tears. I didn't anticipate TTC being this much of a mind f**k. Silly me! My chart is attached for whatever it's worth.
GTKY: I like that I put 100% of myself in everything I do, although it's easy to get burned that way.

It is way too early but actually this is my first cycle off BCP so who know what it should be. I am thinking of moving myself over to WTO but will keep an eye on my pants tonight / tomorrow and see what the crack is (excuse the pun) Ha ...really tickled myself then.

R/R/CS: I'm having some mild cramping on my left side. I started noticing it last cycle around this time and it's happening again. I'm not sure if it's normal or a symptom of something else like a cyst. It's so mild that potentially it could have been happening for a long time, but I didn't notice until I started TTC. Who knows.
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself! I'm really organized.
Married: October 2014
TTC #1 since September 2015
CD/DPO: 37/14
Timing: -3, -1
Testing plans: I tested this morning with FMU. BFN.
R/R/CS: Next month I seriously need to set my alarm really early so I can test at the same time every day. I wasn't expecting to get KU at all this month. But I kind of got my hopes up when my temps shot up. I thought it looked like a triphastic shift (but I probably don't even know what that would look like). However, I have a lot of open circles from waking up at different times and my temperatures have started to slowly drop. Oh well. Now I'm just waiting for AF and waiting to learn how long my luteal phase is since this is my first month temping.
GTKY: Tell us one thing you really like about yourself! Physically I like my eyes and my boobs (they're not big or anything, I just like them). And personality-wise I like my strength.
