Good luck at @AmMcc12! Try not to read into your chart too much. Last month everyone here kept telling me I had a triphasic chart to the point I was sure I was KU and was set for major disappointment. But you know what girl: you are not out until AF shows her ugly face!!
R/R/CS: I want to pee on all the sticks. I like watching my HCG trigger shots get lighter and lighter. I am a dork.

R/R/CS: Pretty sure I've got an infection. Apparently my body wasn't a big fan of that much sex in a week. And is letting me know. I hate going to the doctor. But I'll be giving her a call today.

Does anyone else's prenatals make them pukey? I did search this but didn't find anything recent. That's what I think it is but I've been taking them at night and it usually hits me in the afternoon. It could also be coming off my IUD and hormonal changes.

@AmMcc12 When I had DD taking them at night was the only way to keep them down but it's worth a try. My yucky feeling is just now hitting me today and I took them last night. I'll try a snack tonight.

I went to Tennessee Tech for 2 years and Nashville State for 1 year. I was going for my RN but both times life got in the way. Someday I plan to go back to school, but this time I may just get my LPN instead of my RN. I enjoy my career as a CNA. But have every intention of climbing the ladder.

Yes! Since I confirmed ovulation and we did it on the day of we haven't been intimate since and I don't think we will be til BFP or after AF comes. Trying to do it EOD is definitely a chore for us, I would be happy with once a week or maybe twice a week.

I'm glad it's not just me. I only shared with my BFF but I swear she is SS like crazy if I say anything is going on or I feel badly. I think next cycle I'll just avoid telling her about stuff to see if it's better.

Yup. I'm done. Lol. But also because I'm pretty sure I have a YI. Blah.
Any favorite effective home remedies? I don't go in until the 20th. And AF is due the 19th, btw, according to my app.
My first TWW post! I hope I'm actually in the TWW since this is only my second cycle off BCP and my first cycle charting so I'm not exactly sure what is going on.
Month/cycle: 5/2
CD/DPO: 42/3
Timing: -1/+1
Testing plans: I will try and wait until at least 15 DPO, which would be a few days before Thanksgiving. I keep imagining getting to tell my parents at Thanksgiving dinner that I'm pregnant, I need to stop that, haha.
R/R/CS: I got crosshairs (dotted) for the first time just this morning. Waiting to see what temps the next few days give me to be sure. My cervical position seems to support that I O'd when FF thinks I did but I know that is not foolproof. My last cycle was 83 days so even if nothing happens this month I will just be happy if it is shorter than that.
GTKY: What did you study in school (post secondary) and is it in any way related to your career? I studied Molecular Biology and I now work for a large Biotech company. Yay science!
Me & DH: 28 Married: September 2011 TTC #1: July 2015
Testing plans: Tested on Saturday, before drinking. It was negative, on a frer. Not feeling super hopeful, but we'll see if AF shows up in the next few days! I plan on waiting until tomorrow, one way or the other.
R/R/CS: My best girlfriends came up this weekend for some much needed girl time! Heeeey shopping.
GTKY: What did you study in school (post secondary) and is it in any way related to your career? I have my associates in photography, and I worked as a photographer for 7 years. I have a B.S. in managing information systems, and am pursing my MBA in Managing for Sustainability. I work as an office manager in a financial firm, so I use my degree.
R/R/CS: Alright... I know "you're regular until you're not" is the saying around here, but I have to voice my frustrations. I have had a super regular cycle, basically my entire life. Like down to the hour regular. So, AF was due today, and it usually happens in the early morning. Well I wake up this morning, completely delighted that she hasn't shown. I run to the bathroom to take a test BFN. Wtf! So apparently my cycle is regular until I start TTC and want it to be regular. And of course this is our first month, so I haven't started temping yet. Now I'm just sitting over here in the land of unknown.
GTKY: What did you study in school (post secondary) and is it in any way related to your career? Well after high school I went to beauty school and worked as a hair stylist for several year. I didn't really like it. Mostly because of the uncertainty and I was bored. Now I'm trying to get my bachelors online. Slowly.

@Ally989 I totally understand this! I was always very regular too. Then during our 3rd month TTC I started temping all excited to start learning about my body and I ended up O'ing about a week later then I typically do (didn't know that at the time) and I starting freaking out because I thought that meant my LP was going to be like 6 days. Then I got my period a week later ( took 3 tests in that time). After my whole chart was complete (and now compared against current charts)... I see I just so happen to O a week late. So frustrating that my first time temping that it happened.... so yea I get ya!
ETA: This is why I am so happy I starting temping. Now I'll know if I O late and know when my period is actually late! Learning my LP has been so helpful!

****Question**** Sorry! I already posted my daily entry, then had a question, but didn't want to start a new SS thread!
So Dr. Google, of course, has convinced me that I experience corpus luteum cysts nearly every month. Anybody else have pressure/pain in one ovary for about a week after ovulation? It seems to be worse when I sit down/bend at the waist and during sex. It happens on either side monthly, and the pressure/pain is always gone by the time AF shows up. I've had a non-functional cyst that I had to have surgically removed before I was on BC, and it feels very similar, but that one never went away. Anyone else with any experience with these? Think this is worth an office visit, or harmless?

R/R/CS: Finally had my preconception visit. She said to see her in August if I'm still not pregnant. But the fact that I miscarried shows I am able to get pregnant. Keeping it is a different story.... The good news is, she's impressed by how I'm doing everything right
GTKY: I went to school for nursing. Although I have my days, I absolutely love what I do.
R/R/CS: I have a lot of cramping throughout
the day but no AF.I have also had a lot
of discharge today.I have never had
this before.Do any of you ladies get
this before AF shows up?I am still
staying hopeful though.

Testing plans: another BFN a few minutes ago. AF should have came today.
R/R/CS: I hate how when you buy only a HPT at the dollar tree and the cashier asks what results you are hoping for. Like its any of your business, miss total stranger.
GTKY: What did you study in school (post secondary) and is it in any way related to your career?
I went to Tennessee Tech for 2 years and Nashville State for 1 year. I was going for my RN but both times life got in the way. Someday I plan to go back to school, but this time I may just get my LPN instead of my RN. I enjoy my career as a CNA. But have every intention of climbing the ladder.
I'm glad it's not just me. I only shared with my BFF but I swear she is SS like crazy if I say anything is going on or I feel badly. I think next cycle I'll just avoid telling her about stuff to see if it's better.

Congrats @megstervt!
Any favorite effective home remedies? I don't go in until the 20th. And AF is due the 19th, btw, according to my app.
Month/cycle: 5/2
CD/DPO: 42/3
Timing: -1/+1
Testing plans: I will try and wait until at least 15 DPO, which would be a few days before Thanksgiving. I keep imagining getting to tell my parents at Thanksgiving dinner that I'm pregnant, I need to stop that, haha.
R/R/CS: I got crosshairs (dotted) for the first time just this morning. Waiting to see what temps the next few days give me to be sure. My cervical position seems to support that I O'd when FF thinks I did but I know that is not foolproof. My last cycle was 83 days so even if nothing happens this month I will just be happy if it is shorter than that.
Married: September 2011
TTC #1: July 2015
CD/DPO: 35/13
Timing: -1 -3
Testing plans: Tested on Saturday, before drinking. It was negative, on a frer. Not feeling super hopeful, but we'll see if AF shows up in the next few days! I plan on waiting until tomorrow, one way or the other.
R/R/CS: My best girlfriends came up this weekend for some much needed girl time! Heeeey shopping.
GTKY: What did you study in school (post secondary) and is it in any way related to your career? I have my associates in photography, and I worked as a photographer for 7 years. I have a B.S. in managing information systems, and am pursing my MBA in Managing for Sustainability. I work as an office manager in a financial firm, so I use my degree.
CD/DPO: 39/ Who knows any more
Timing: EOD
Testing plans: This morning. BFN
R/R/CS: Alright... I know "you're regular until you're not" is the saying around here, but I have to voice my frustrations. I have had a super regular cycle, basically my entire life. Like down to the hour regular. So, AF was due today, and it usually happens in the early morning. Well I wake up this morning, completely delighted that she hasn't shown. I run to the bathroom to take a test BFN. Wtf! So apparently my cycle is regular until I start TTC and want it to be regular. And of course this is our first month, so I haven't started temping yet. Now I'm just sitting over here in the land of unknown.
GTKY: What did you study in school (post secondary) and is it in any way related to your career? Well after high school I went to beauty school and worked as a hair stylist for several year. I didn't really like it. Mostly because of the uncertainty and I was bored. Now I'm trying to get my bachelors online. Slowly.

Sorry! I already posted my daily entry, then had a question, but didn't want to start a new SS thread!
So Dr. Google, of course, has convinced me that I experience corpus luteum cysts nearly every month. Anybody else have pressure/pain in one ovary for about a week after ovulation? It seems to be worse when I sit down/bend at the waist and during sex.
It happens on either side monthly, and the pressure/pain is always gone by the time AF shows up.
I've had a non-functional cyst that I had to have surgically removed before I was on BC, and it feels very similar, but that one never went away.
Anyone else with any experience with these? Think this is worth an office visit, or harmless?

*** loss mentioned ***
Month/cycle: 2/2-- (early miscarriage in December and I just couldn't bear to try again for a while)
CD/DPO: 24/5
Timing: -3, 0, +1
Testing plans: according to FF it says I should wait until the 17th.. I'm doing my best to wait. Although I feel I'm out this month. My CM wasn't like it usually is. So I'm not sure how correct my OPK was.
R/R/CS: Finally had my preconception visit. She said to see her in August if I'm still not pregnant. But the fact that I miscarried shows I am able to get pregnant. Keeping it is a different story.... The good news is, she's impressed by how I'm doing everything right
GTKY: I went to school for nursing. Although I have my days, I absolutely love what I do.
Month/cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 29/14
Timing:-4, -3, -2, and -1
Testing plans: tomorrow if AF doesn’t show
R/R/CS: I have a lot of cramping throughout the day but no AF. I have also had a lot of discharge today. I have never had this before. Do any of you ladies get this before AF shows up? I am still staying hopeful though.
GTKY: What did you study in school (post secondary) and is it in any way related to your career? I am currently working on my Bachelors in Accounting. I worked in Finance while in the military and continue to do it as a civilian working for the government. I love working with numbers.
