GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush?
DS 12.02.11
Re: TWW Tuesday
CD/DPO: 17/3
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Testing Plans: Goal is 11dpo (day before Thanksgiving). Reality is probably 8 or 9.
R/R/CS: Got CHs today for CD14! I'm going to just say no to SS this month.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? I probably should not have asked a question I can't remember the answer to. For whatever reason, I was very taken with Kevin Costner. This was circa 1991, so it was socially acceptable.
CD/DPO: 27/4
Timing: -5, -3
Testing Plans: day before Thanksgiving. 12dpo
R/R/CS: if I don't discard those high temps from Nov. 1, 3 and 5, FF gives me CH for CD 24 instead of 23. Glow keeps it at CD 23 regardless. Timing was awful if it really was CD 24 though. Ugh.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Jonathon Taylor Thomas. Swoon!
LFAF April Siggy: TV/Movie BFFs
BFP #4 1/2016, DD born 10/2016
CD/DPO:36/11
Timing: -1, +1
Testing Plans: erry day. BFN today again.
R/R/CS: My chart looks pregnant. My body is screaming PMS. BFN's all around. I don't know what to think.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Leonardo DiCaprio thanks to Titanic
TTC #2 since Mar 2017
DX: MF June 2019, varicocele embolization Jan 2020, good improvement (14 mil, low motility)
IUI#1 Aug 2020 - BFN
IVF #1 Dec 2020 (ICSI) - ER, freeze-all - 15 retrieved, 15 mature, 15 fertilized. 4 embryos frozen, all day 5 blasts!
FET #1 Feb 2021 - BFN
FET #2 Apr 2021 - BFP 5DP5DT!! Beta #1 13DP5DT (17DPO) = HcG 1,238. Beta #2 17DP5DT (21DPO) = HcG 8,269
CD/DPO: 17/2
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1, +1
Testing Plans: Since this is my first cycle I'd love to say I'll wait until 11 DPO, but will most likely cave sooner.
R/R/CS: Finally got a high temp yesterday, and another high temp today. I will get CH if I get another high temp tomorrow. Yay!! Since this is our first month off BCP I have no clue what to expect but am just keeping my FX. At least it appears that I have O'd (also got a positive OPK and had EWCM) and our timing was pretty good. Now comes the waiting...
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? I was in love with Jim Carrey. I know he's not super attractive, but wow can he make a girl laugh.
I love how everyone is testing so close to Thanksgiving!! FX for many BFP's during the holidays!!
CD/DPO: 22/4
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing Plans: 11 DPO
R/R/CS: nothing today
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush?
Probably Now and Then era Devon Sawa
CD/DPO: 28/9
Timing: -4, -3, -2, 0
Testing Plans: 13dpo...but probably this Thursday which would be 11dpo since my temps have dropped consistently on 10dpo
R/R/CS: I can't stop SS. And my only symptom spotting is my chart. This mornings temp has been the highest it's ever gotten. And although my temps go up and down, I see a slight upward trend. I can't stop getting excited which will be bad if AF shows. See chart below.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? JTT. Or Johnathan Taylor Thomas
@0SeaMonkey0 totally streamed Now and Then online the other day! My sis was obsessed with him!
ETA I just googled what he looks like today. He looks scary.
TTC #2 since Mar 2017
DX: MF June 2019, varicocele embolization Jan 2020, good improvement (14 mil, low motility)
IUI#1 Aug 2020 - BFN
IVF #1 Dec 2020 (ICSI) - ER, freeze-all - 15 retrieved, 15 mature, 15 fertilized. 4 embryos frozen, all day 5 blasts!
FET #1 Feb 2021 - BFN

CD/DPO: 27/13
Timing: -4,-2,-1,1
Testing Plans: Thursday if no AF
R/R/CS: My LP is 13 days and today I had a slight temp drop. Minor but same as previous months the day AF comes. Pretty confident I'll see her by tonight... My only hope is my thermometer doesn't seem to be working well.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Justin timberlake and Paul walker
Me - 33; DH - 33Dating 1/18/06
Married 9/21/13
BFP #1 12/15/15 - C Born 8/27/16
BFP #2 1/10/20 - EDD 9/8/20
CD/DPO: 26/10
Timing: -4,-2,-1,+1
Testing Plans: BFN today. Maybe in a couple days if temps stay up.
R/R/CS: My chart had me so hopeful, FF even called it triphasic. So I'm totally bummed about the BFN. Sigh. I just feel like that second line is NEVER going to be there for me.
Obviously I know it's not over yet, but I'm losing hope. BFNs always seem to just smack me in the face, and bring me back to reality.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Taylor Hanson. Judge me.
IUI August 2016 : Cancelled due to polyp
September 2016: Polyp removal/hysteroscopy
October 2016: IUI #1- BFN
November 2016: IUI #2- BFN
December 2016: IUI #3 - BFN
January/February 2017 - IVF + ICSI + PGD
March 2017 - FET
CD/DPO: 21/5 (not entirely sure I'm on board with it but I do think I ovulated. Just not sure if 5 is correct) But it has changed twice.
Timing:(based on current ch) 0, -3, -5
Testing Plans: I don't know what my LP is as this is my first time temping a full cycle. I guess 13dpo
R/R/CS: I'm annoyed at myself for not trusting the FF chart. The first high temp, I was camping. (Got an unrestful night sleep on the ground and was obviously outside) Then, the next temps that moved my cross hairs (I originally received them at day 10 as well but didn't believe that) I was sick and yesterday I received a vaccine. My CM doesn't exactly line up but I'm just gonna trust it for now and adjust if i need to.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush?
I loved Patrick Swayze when I was younger. Also Brian Littrel from Backstreet boys was my first real obsession...TONS OF POSTERS! haha
CD/DPO: 39/4
Timing: -3, 0, +1
Testing Plans: Now I'm thinking the day before Thanksgiving. This way, if by some chance there is a BFP I can spend the workday thinking of a fun way to tell DH, and do so that evening, and then have a four day weekend to let the shock and disbelief settle down.
R/R/CS: I was suspicious of my temps because I often wake up a few times during the night, which is why I wanted to temp at least one more day after getting my CH's. I did wake up a few times last night (as usual), but I tried to stay still and I did not ever actually get up out of bed - and this morning my temp was even higher than the past 3 days! Now I just can't decide whether to keep temping or not during the 2WW....
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? JTT!
CD/DPO: 25/13 or 25/12
Timing: +1 or 0
Testing Plans: didn't have time to test today and I know FMU is best, if I can hold out will test tomorrow
R/R/CS: my temps are still high and rose on 7dpo so looks triphasic however I know that could still go either way. I've literally woken up with a pounding headache every day for the past 4 days and have been feeling nauseas. No sign of AF and my LP is usually 11 days. Kind of scared to test because I don't want to see a bfn so I've been trying to hold out but I also know even if I do see one I'm still in it until AF shows up.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? I love reading everyone's answers!!! Looks like we're all from the same era!!! JTT, Devon Sawa, and Leo for sure (couldn't limit to just one)
CD/DPO: 25/7
Timing: -3,-2,0,+1
Testing Plans: 14 DPO if AF doesn't show up
R/R/CS: I'm going to copy @chrlyr Just say NO to SS! It drives me batty and doesn't help so far I've avoided it this month...
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Joshua Jackson... back in the Might Ducks days!!
@PrettyPalomino titanic definitely ignited my love for Leo too!! Fx for you!
Eta: @sldp123 I'm surprised that FF gave you CHs at cd 10! I would say I agree with cd 16! Good luck!
CD/DPO: 18/3
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing Plans: dunno
R/R/CS: My jaw is killing me and I still cannot shut my mouth correctly. Still spotting which really depresses me and I'm thinking ok I'm out, let AF come so I can start it all over again.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Ditto so many people before!!! Devon Sawa and JTT
CD/DPO: 28/15 (or 28/12)
Timing: -2, +1 (or -5,-2, +1)
Testing Plans: None
R/R/CS: Right now, I'm just waiting for AF to show up...my temps are trending down and today's was below the coverline.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? I'll go with Johnny Depp because the movies I loved him in (Don Juan DeMarco/Benny & Joon) predated Leo and the Romeo and Juliet/Titanic era
DH: 36⎹ Me: 36
CD/DPO: 22/8
Timing: -4,-3,-1
Testing Plans: Tested this morning for no apparent reason (naturally BFN). I'm telling myself I needed a control and now I have something to compare later tests to. We'll go with that.
Will test again on Thursday (10dpo) because DH is due back from work travel that night. AF is due on Friday (also when FF recommends I test) because my last LP was 10 days so I'll probably test until AF or BFP. Going to a football game this weekend so I needs to know if I can have the beers. Until then drinking wine while I cook dinner for one every night with DH out of town lol.
R/R/CS: None really. Felt a little crampy yesterday and thought AF was gonna show. Was pissed because it would mean my cycle is still wonky after BCP. Later in the day I decided It was gas... I am never sure lol.
Took multiple temps this am because I fell asleep with the thermometer in my mouth and the first temp was low. Retook it 2 or 3 times and got a more consistent temp.
Charts attached for fun (I took out my negative OPKs and the CH turned solid... )
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? @PrettyPalomino I too was totally into Leo in Titanic. It was middle school. I still like him as an actor but he doesn't make my girly parts tingle now
CD/DPO: 17/2-4 (but I think 3)
Timing: -4, -1, 0
Testing Plans: Waiting until 17 or 18 dpo if my period doesn't show up
R/R/CS: Rant: I was talking to my mom the other day and she told me it's fine if I start TTC next year, but it doesn't have to be right away in January. I don't know why she gets to tell me when "I'm allowed" to get pregnant. CS: Right now FF gives me dotted CH for CD 13. If I put in another high temp for tomorrow, FF gives me solid CH for CD 15. But I think it was CD 14 because that was the day I had EWCM and it was sticky again by CD 15. What do you all think?
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush?
ETA: Grammar and can't get smileys to work
DH: 36⎹ Me: 36
CD/DPO: 28/13
Timing: -4, -2, -1, O
Testing Plans: BFN again this morning and feeling crampy. The acne is also out of control so I'm ready for AF to arrive either tomorrow or Thursday.
R/R/CS: I'm thinking I might be benched for a few months. Changing jobs in 2 weeks and should ideally wait a few months to get KU so that I can use FMLA for maternity leave. I really hate the idea of not trying for the next few months but hate the idea of leaving my little squishy to go back to work after 6 weeks even more. We'll probably NTNP and I will continue to temp/chart.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? I'm with @chrylr, Kevin Costner was (and still is) my jams. I was obsessed with Dances with Wolves. I was a pretty weird kid...
Me: 32 & DH: 37

Timing: -4, -2, O
Testing Plans: Trying to hold out until Sunday (12 DPO). Probably will cave and test Friday though.
R/R/CS: No pseudo symptoms to sniff at. I feel super normal. Last cycle I thought I had every symptom under the sun so maybe I just learned my lesson.
CD/DPO: 27/13
Timing: -5, -2, -1, O, +1
Testing Plans: Friday
R/R/CS: Barn cat is slacking. I heard a mouse yesterday. I imagine she's hiding from the rain. I'm going to lure her with catnip and see if she'll hang out under the house. She hates people.

Oliver Wood from Harry Potter. I loved his accent.
CD/DPO: 17/4

R/R/CS: I can't stop thinking of cute ways to tell family if we (FX) do get a BFP Thanksgiving day. Which even if it isn't our month, I know I'll be doing the same for ways to tell them at Christmas, and then New Years, Valentines.......oh the sickness with Pinterest.

R/R/CS: Just trying to be patient! My progesterone blood draw is scheduled for Friday afternoon so I'm hoping for a nice high number.
GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? JTT (Jonathan Taylor Thomas). Though I was obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio also. But I think JTT came first.
