Re: TWW Saturday
CD/DPO: 33/8
Timing: -1, +1
Testing plan: I tested today :O I was completely UNsurprised by the stark white but it was still fun trying
R/R/C: SS like crazy, today I'm having low back cramps which I'm familiar with in relation to AF. I really hope she waits at least 2 or 3 more days though for a decent LP length. Orrrr that she never shows her face.
GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO? My mother was the boss and I got that gene. I'm just more assertive than DH, more confident in my decisions, and that's not something you can hide from your kids!!

Testing plan: Its official, darker lines this am! BFP on both wondfo and FRER! Thanks ladies for all of your support. FX for lots of BFPS!
R/R/C: Nada just excited
GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO? We have a 4.5 yr old and DH is def the boss (and also the playmate) lol.
DD born April 2011
/cycle: 4/3
CD/ DPO : 33/12
Timing: EOD
Testing plan: I tested this morning To drink tonight at the wedding and got a strong positive
R/R/C:
I had some spotting last night and had a major meltdown. I talked to another member of the forum telling her I was out because I'm no special snowflake and don't believe in unicorn IB. This morning I took my temp out of curiosity and it was really high. I decided to POAS to chug my sadness in champagne tonight. The line appeared whitin seconds and I started crying and shaking like a leaf.
We are being cautious because of my CP in September but really happy
Thanks for everyone on this forum, I felt so lost and alone when I started trying and this place was a source of comfort.
GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO?
I hope we'll be a team. But DH always says he'll feed them candies behind my back
CD/ DPO : 22/4
Timing: -3,-2,0,+1
Testing plan: Holding out as long as possible
R/R/C: Time change and illness messed with my chart and now it's ugly, I have an ugly forest! Still not sure about the O date but I'm trying to keep an open mind and focus on my ugly forest instead of the trees.
GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO?
Month/cycle: 4/6
CD/ DPO: 21/9
Timing:-5, -3, 0
Testing plan: Nov. 20 (15DPO)
R/R/C: I had a rant about my temps ready. But at this point, I can only either wait or test.
GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO?
I think me, though I will try to not be a dictator
CD/ DPO : 25/6
Timing: -4 -3, -2, 0
Testing plan: 13 DPO. I have a short 10-11 day LP.
R/R/C: my temps usually bounce back and forth between upper 97s and 98s and this cycle it's been more 98s. I feel like some of these 98s have been higher than previous cycles. Hey... look... more symptom spotting.
GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO? This sounds so cliché but we will definitely be equals.
ETA: congrats on the BFPs!! They come in threes...who is next?
Congrats @jolydan and @JChris830!

Testing with RE October 2016
BFP 11/5/2016 ~ EDD 7/19/2016
Month/cycle: 5/5
CD: 19
Timing: ED
R/R/CS: rave is for DH bc this cycle he has been a real TTC hero being all positive and excited! Hope this is our cycle but if not we'll still have next cycle and as many as it takes
GTKY: who will be the boss? Hopefully both...I'm pretty naturally bossy but I don't want to be he bossy parent and have DH become the fun parent so we will hopefully work together. It took some effort to get DH to take a more "boss" role with out fur-child but now he's on board so hopefully our imaginary kids will be the same.
Month/cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO : 25/12
Timing: -2, +1
Testing plan: 15 or 16 DPO (Nov. 17/18)
R/R/C: Just waiting...losing my optimism for this cycle a bit as a few PMS symptoms are rearing their heads.
GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO? We're pretty equal...I tend to be a bit more of a disciplinarian than DH though, so maybe it edges a bit in my favor.
DH: 36⎹ Me: 36
CD/ DPO : 24/6
Timing: -2, O
Testing plan: Nov. 23rd if I can hold out
R/R/C: Just waiting, and waiting, and waiting...
GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO?
BFP #1 Nov 2015 ended in MC Dec 26 2015
BFP #2 Feb 2016, EDD Nov 8 2016
Month/cycle: 3
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: -4, -2, O
Testing plan: bfn yesterday at 8dpo, I'll test again tomorrow. I'm actually rather proud of myself for not testing this morning. I have the crazy.
R/R/CS: I'm just not feeling like this is our cycle. Our timing wasn't terrible, I'm just not feeling it. Of course that doesn't help me avoid SS!
GTKY: I am 100% the boss with our son, and life in general. I hate it. We actually argue about this frequently lately, I feel like everything is on me and I shouldn't have to ask my husband to do the same things over and over that are "his tasks", like taking out the garbage on the same day each week. Is it obvious that this is a sore spot??
Month/cycle: 18
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing plan: next Fri if AF hasn't shown up by then
R/R/C: FF finally pulled it together and gave me CHs yesterday for CD15! So now I'm halfway through the TWW!
GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO?
Me. I'm already the boss

Congratulations @jolydan!!!! I know we don't encourage symptom spotting here but I had a sneaking suspicion from what you have been posting that you may get your BFP.

DS1 -- 9/30/2016
Month/cycle: 3/3
CD/ DPO : 25/9
Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0
Testing plan: I almost caved this morning so I don't think I'll be able to hold off any later than tomorrow. All patience is lost at this point.
R/R/C: SS like crazy last night which has somewhat carried over to this morning. Just stop you crazy lady!
GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO? I think we will both be the boss in a way, DH probably more than me though. Get me mad and it's all over but most of the time I'm a softy.

GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO? Probably both. (Or me)

TEAM: PINK!!
Month/cycle: 4/3
CD/ DPO : CD27 / DPO8
Timing: -4, -3, -2, 0, +1
Testing plan: DPO 13 if no AF
R/R/C: Just staying busy to keep myself occupied! Any of you ladies have info on taking warm/very warm baths during TWW?? Iv heard some say its great as it warms the uterus, and some say its horrible...thoughts?! Baths are my detox time so I would LOVE some good news haha.
GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO? Definitely me. I'm the disciplinarian in the house, and even though he has a temper when things get out of hand, hes much more the fun, do as you please type parental figure. I think it'll be a pretty good balance ☺️
Congratufuckinglations @jolydan!!!!! I've been dirty lurking for the last few weeks and had a feeling for you during this TWW. Wish you were coming over to join me on June, but I'm wishing you a H&H pregnancy!
ETA: @MamaBish Your chart. I like it. I like it a lot. FX for you!!
Fx for you, @MamaBish
Month/cycle: 8
CD/ DPO : 23/7
Timing: -4,-2,-1,+1
Testing plan: Tuesday at 10dpo
R/R/C: Not much, just hoping to hang around here for a while longer. Have had short LPs in the past. Last month I had a huge 12 days!! Has been as short as 8, but increasing each cycle.
I'm going to brag on myself and say that I've managed to not drive myself crazy yet in this TWW by keeping busy! Or maybe I'm just so used to this by now, I know better than to get worked up about it.
GTKY: When you finally become a mother (if not already), who will be the boss (or who is the boss), you, or DH/SO?
I know dogs are nothing like little humans, but DH is much more strict with our dog. I'm a rule follower, but have a soft spot for sweet puppy eyes. So I think this will carry over when we have babies, and DH will be the boss.
