GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received?

nuttymask · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 10/11

CD:2

WAYDTGKU: Looks like I may have to sit this one out. Going for a wedding, so may be too tired for BD.

R/R/CS: I'm just losing my patience with waiting.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? Best- Iphone. Worst- A hideous pair of earrings- gold leaves- never worn.

sldp123 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, PNV, preseed (which DH now calls 'fertilizer'), sex as often as possible until O

R/R/CS: Still waiting. The last two months I O'd on CD 13, but I'm still getting negative OPKs. Last month I O'd the same day as my positive OPK though so I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens. My CD could also be off because of what I posted before about being unsure of what to call CD1 vs. spotting. Last month I had three days marked as spotting before CD1, which probably wasn't really right.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? When I was in preschool, my teacher made our parents Christmas ornaments that were angels made out of paper plates, and she used our faces from our class picture to put on the angel. Well that ornament always cracked me up (still does) because I was making the grumpiest face in the class picture, so it's this really mean and grumpy looking angel. When my son was about 2 or 3, my mom made me the same ornament, and used one of his grumpy-faced pictures. Loved that gift so much even though it was literally a paper plate.

Worst was when my ex-H (then bf) gave me a blender for my 21st birthday. He said it was to make drinks? Never should have married him, lol.

JEMN · November 2015

**question**

Month/Cycle: 5

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: trying to temp, opk, cm

R/R/CS: **question: I slept through my temp alarm and my temp was really high as a result. I know it's not encouraged, but I think I have seen people mention FF has a temp adjuster. I have searched all over for it (I use the cellphone app) but cannot find it. Did I imagine that FF has one? I just wanted to see what the adjusted temp is to put in my notes.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? Best- I borrowed a pair of earrings from a jewelry store for my wedding. I was so sad to have to give them back. My DH surprised me with the earrings for our 1st anniversary.
Worst- my grandma is pretty bad. One time I got a pack of toothbrushes from here for Christmas.

Edited because typing on a cell phone is hard

pretzel2plus1 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: everything, plus OPKs

R/R/CS: FF gave me CHs for CD 14 this morning, which I'm not really buying. I thought you needed three temps higher than the previous six, and I don't quite fit that yet, and there's really not a significant shift. If I put in a similar temp for tomorrow it takes the CHs away. Do you mind if I hang out with you guys for a few more days before moving to TWW, just in case? (Chart is attached if you want to take a look.)

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received?

Best: my engagement ring was a birthday present!

Worst: My mom likes to give gift cards in these maze boxes, so you have to get the little ball through the maze before it will open. One Christmas there was one we absolutely could not get, so my brother had to pop it open with a screwdriver.

AndiPandi127 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: SMEP, OPK, Pre-Seed, Temping, PNVs

R/R/CS: **Possible CM TMI** After a full 6 weeks off of Zyrtek, I'm finally seeing EWCM! Yesterday and more this morning. I did a little happy dance. We got some BDing in last night and used Pre-Seed, but waited about 30 minutes after application and it worked SO much better, in case anyone else is trying it for the first time and went WHOA that's a lot. H is away overnight for work and my OPK is not positive yet (my temps are so off this month...stupid sleep sched continues to be unhelpful), so I'm hoping to not get a positive until tomorrow so we can catch O day.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? Best gift was recently - my husband surprised me with a really nice digital piano, which I've wanted desperately for years! Worst was this weird ceramic candle holder that had 3 cat statues holing hands (paws?) around where the candle went...it's been passed around among my friends as a white elephant gift for years now - we call it the Wiccan Cat Ritual.

sldp123 · November 2015

@JEMN I think that is a VIP feature, but I can't find it either, but it definitely exists because people have mentioned using it. If you don't have VIP or you can't find it, here is a site that will calculate the adjustment for you. There are probably others as well.

ShallowSeas · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 12/13

CD:11

WAYDTGKU: all the things

R/R/CS: No rants or raves currently. Just waiting and keeping an eye on temps.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? The best gift I've ever received was probably the black sapphire studs DH bought me for our anniversary. I loooooooove them and wear them every single day. The worst gift I received is pretty much anything ever given to me by my dad's mother...we're talking earrings made out of buttons and those little shirts that stretched into a normal size shirt, anyone remember those?

TCUFrog08 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 21

WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPKS, temping, checking CM. trying to BD EOD or ED

R/R/CS: I have been Oing anywhere between CD 17-23. My temp took a huge dip this AM and I am having don't symptoms of O. So I told DH this AM that we got one more day to go and then we Can take a break. Who would have thought BD would get so tiring???

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received.
This is actually the same gift. When I turned 16 my grandmother bought me AAA. Every year she renews it as my bday present. I thought it was the worst at the time. Now that I'm an adult, it's one of the best and most practical gifts.

My 2nd best gift was one I gave myself last year for my bday. I resigned from a job that i was miserable in. Ofcourse I had already signed a contract with a new job. But it was my present to myself.

babymish · November 2015

@JEMN you do need to have VIP FF I think but if you look at the top of the page when viewing your chart and click on the drop down arrow for 'data' and then under 'cycle data entry' select 'Temperature Corrector' .

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: Everything and all the sex, it's hard work!

R/R/CS: Getting impatient now which is daft as it is way too early to get impatient. Had watery CF for 4 days but its all no's on the OPK's. SO and I have been HIO every day the last 4 and to be honest we both need a breather but don't want to miss that O. Also I am bloated something crazy and my jeans are too tight today ugh.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? Best was when I was a kid I got the board game 'Grape Escape' and I had wanted it for AGES. Worst was from my ex bf, I was convinced he was going to propose (so glad he didn't now). He had been banging on for ages about this amazing gift he got me and then on Xmas eve said he couldn't wait and wanted to give it to me early. I was all ready for him to get down on one knee and then he handed me this lumpy present far too big for a ring.

It was a fist that you put up in the rear car window and it was attached to a tube with a pump on the end. When you pressed the pump it stuck the middle finger up to any drivers behind you. I actually burst into tears when I opened it and had to tell him why and he was so sorry haha. Also I never used it in my car.

JEMN · November 2015

Thanks @sldp123 and @babymish ! I am trying to figure it out now!

Paturkey · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: temping, CM, vitamins, sex ED from CD9 or 10

R/R/CS: Nope. So far so good. Really encouraged by all the BFPs over on the TWW. FX for all of us!

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? Cheesy as hell, but my son. He was born two days after my birthday so, that'll be hard to top.

H4aPartyof5 · November 2015

***Question***

Month/Cycle: 3/4

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: Temping and PNV

R/R/CS: ***Question***: Is there any difference between a BBT thermometer and a "normal" digital thermometer that reads to the 1/100 degree?

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? Hands down the best was when we got horses for Christmas. In general, I hate getting clothes as gifts - rarely your taste and there's always a decent possibility that they will not fit.

ETA: Correction to Question

Neikoda · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: Temping, Tracking CM, Preconception appt Friday, and time for the BD Saturday hopefully.

R/R/CS: Just trying my best to be patient at the moment.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? I think my most disappointing gift was in high school, my "big" gift was a calculator. Useful but not the most exciting.

mrsE2015 · November 2015

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: bbt, cp, cm, sex

R/R/CS: O should be here in the next handful of days!!!! Temp is doing what it is supposed to and other signs are looking good!

GTKY: best would be the a picnic basket from my DH. He knew my dream date was to go on a picnic and no one had ever taken me. So for Xmas he got me the picnic basket and in the spring he took me on my first picnic and proposed.

Worst my aunt bought me a picture frame that had a big chip out of the corner with a picture of herself in it...I honestly thought it was a gag gift at first but nope...her words were "I don't want you to forget me when you leave for college..." sweet NaNa still not hanging this on my wall.

MEA0320 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD: 25

WAYDTGKU: Everything

R/R/CS: Having issues with the app so had to log into the site while on a conference call... First post I saw was a TOU violation, so that was interesting to see. Other than that, it's Wednesday and I'm so ready for the weekend - I feel like this week is dragging but at the same time going by pretty fast (I think I'm just stressing a bit to see when FF gives me my CH which should be either Monday or Tuesday).

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received?

Best - Super Nintendo for my and my sister

Worst - clothing from my Mom and Grandma when I was in high school or middle school - it was never what I actually wanted to wear. I guess it worked out because now they just give me gift cards to places so I can pick out my own things.

musicinmysoul17 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: OPK's, Pre-seed, CM/CP, charting, sex EOD (hopefully, cause DH works rotation night shift)

R/R/CS: AF has been SO annoying this month. Usually I have 4 days and maybe some spotting at the end. This month I spotted the day before AF was supposed to start, had 3 days of light (so I thought it was just gonna be lighter this month), now I'm on the THIRD day of spotting after! Just be done already!!!

Also, it's really frustrating with DH's schedule to get in any BDing, let alone trying to time it. And now we're actually trying but we've been NTNP for a year and a half already. Every month it's just been the same; feeling symptoms but always BFN. I just want to be PG already so bad....

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received?

The worst was always my dad's mom's gifts. She lived in TX, we were in MI so we never really saw her, but she would literally just pick out stuff she had at home and throw it all in a box and send it for Christmas. Books, random jewelry, used bottles of lotion lol. Best was the first Christmas I got to spend with my new hubby (we had been married for 3 months when Christmas came around) and his family because he got time off from police academy after going mon-fri, every week, for 2 and a half months. So having time together was my gift.

Jvkral · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1 after provera (been trying since July )

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: pnv, cm, sex eod, opks

R/R/CS: still waiting for opk to show a surge. My cycles are very weird. Last cycle was over 90 days- hence the reason for provera. Hoping it helps regulate me. Good news is that the hubs is totally on board with HIO eod this month!

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? Worst would be a Jean purse when I was younger. I was a total tom boy growing up and hated purses. Best gift would probably be my grandma's ring for my 18th birthday. My middle name was her name so my dad gave me her ring which was really special even though I never met her cause she passed away before I was born.

ReadyForaB · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 18

WAYDTGKU: BD, CM, temping, PNV

R/R/CS: temp stayed high-ish today but still no crosshairs!!!! If I up it by like .1 I get CH on the 15 ... But as it stands now, no CH... Ugh! Cd 15 would give me pretty good timing so FX I get CH there tomorrow....

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? I don't know that I've ever received a bad gift.. And honestly I don't know about the best. I've never thought about it and nothing stands out

anj27 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: Starting OPKs in a few days...

R/R/CS: Just chugging along, not much to see here.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? Best gift was probably the surprise vacation my husband planned for my 30th birthday. Worst gift is pretty much everything my mom gives me and my husband.

mrsE2015 · November 2015

And my chart for those that want to peek

Maggie1202 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: Bye bye AF!!! Here's hoping I won't see you for a good, long while!!! PNVs, temping, will start BD EOD, preseed, and checking cm.

R/R/CS: I'm annoyed because I apparently forgot to put my temp in FF yesterday! I think I did it but I didn't hit save. Boo!!!!

GTKY: best was my engagement ring! Worst... My MIL, bless her heart. She tries but she gets me all kinds of gifts that she would love and we have such vastly different taste. I don't have the heart to tell her I don't love her gifts because I know they come from such a good place! I can't wait until she has a grand baby to spoil

mrsE2015 · November 2015

@H4aPartyof5 yes! I know it doesn't seem like a lot but a shift from 96.40 to 96.49 shows as a significant shift on your chart. Where the regular thermometer would show no temperature change. You can order a Mabis from Amazon for like $7 and it works great.

babymish · November 2015

@Maggie1202 I'm pretty sure you can go back and add it in no?

gonetothesea · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD: 62

WAYDTGKU: all the things that I can possibly to while waiting for AF.

R/R/CS: Day 2 of Provera. Just waiting it out.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received?

Best gift: my little sister (who was 8 at the time) drew a portrait of me, my husband, and 2 cats and framed it. It was too cute, and I have it hanging in my house.

Worst gift: Two years ago my in-laws gave me a used book and half used Bath and Body Works hand sanitizer and body lotion. ...So basically, whatever they had laying around the house. They did something similar with our wedding gift as well. Ugh.

lalalorelai · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: temping, charting CM & CP, supplements to try to lengthen my LP

R/R/CS: watery CM yesterday so I'll take that as a good sign.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? I was pretty pumped for this kitty surprise toy I got when I was like 6. It was a stuffed cat that was "pregnant" when you got her, and she would "give birth" (open up a velcro pouch) to a litter. The litter could have anywhere from 2 to 5 stuffed kittens. Mine had 5. I was freaking stoked. I was kinda a weird child.

I honestly can't think of any truly awful gift. We got a few crappy non-registry gifts for our shower and wedding, but I wouldn't call them awful. Just not what we wanted/needed.

H4aPartyof5 · November 2015

@mrsE2015 ...I actually meant hundredths for our regular digital thermometer. Gah, I need more caffeine this morning...Math's not my thing but I should have caught that (as I go edit my original post).

MandyBeeSLP · November 2015

Cycle: 7

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: Waiting for AF to go.

R/R/CS: Cycle Day 1 is awful.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? When I was a kid my parents gave me and my brother character band-aids one Christmas. Maybe not such I bad gift but I was 11 (bro was 5 so I think he thought it was cool). My Kindle was my best gift ever. I love to read and use it all the time.

AmMcc12 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: CM, temping, Sex when able (will be EOD once closer to FW)

R/R/CS: Feeling a little sick today. Hoping it goes away!!

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? I honestly don't know how to answer this question. Maybe it's still to early and my brain isn't awake yet

mrsE2015 · November 2015

@H4aPartyof5 lol I am with you on need for caffeine! And to your edited question IDK for sure. It seems like it wouldn't matter but maybe someone with more insite could weigh in!?

Kristin712 · November 2015

@JEMN Please don't adjust your temp. It's really highly discouraged. I suggest leaving it in and record the accurate time. Later, you can choose to discard if it messes with your ability to get CH. Random spikes and dips occur all the time and shouldn't have much of an impact on FF's ability to see a clear temp shift.

@pretzel2plus1 I don't think you've O'ed either. No clear shift at all.

Kristin712 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3 TTCAL

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: temping, PNVs, CM, CP

R/R/CS: Glad my 50 day long cycle finally ended. I'm hopeful I will finally O this cycle as I haven't been able to officially TTC since my loss due to lack of eggs dropping!

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received?

Best: The original iPhone my dad surprised me with for Christmas when it came out.

Worst: Ugly clothing and/or jewelry from ex-bf's moms who did not know my personal style at all. A gift card would have been easier.

Thanks for the advice. I found the adjuster in FF and just recorded the adjusted temps in my notes. I left the high temp in the chart. I just figure this way I can play around with my data later if I don't get cross hairs

virginiaham · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, sex, hangin out until CD13, then add temps, OPK and CP.

R/R/CS: I swear there was EWCM yesterday. It didn't last long, but all of the sudden I was kicking myself for setting myself up to miss an early O. And then that stopped, because I'm really not that hopeful that I'll O THAT early. Still watching CM, and it's only a few more wake-ups before I'm back all in.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? Best was H telling me he wanted to buy me the really nice rain coat I had pointed out to him a few weeks prior. I cried when he told me. He could have not bought the coat and I still would love that memory.

Worst was a box of dollar store trinkets from a friend. I knew she wanted to give me something, but it ended up being junk. She was strapped for cash, and then had to pay for postage on top of that, but I wished that she could have had the freedom with me to save her money for something nice for her, and just went with the card.

Maggie1202 · November 2015

@babymish I think I can but I don't remember what it was lol!!!

babymish · November 2015

Ooooh, I see your problem @Maggie1202

JournoGrl23 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/4 tomorrow starts month 6 for me though.

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: BD EOD and temping. Should probably get some pre seed soon since we have to use lube.

R/R/CS: If I count from the first day of my first cycle that we started trying, then tomorrow will be six months since we started trying. I'm halfway to my year mark! Although I've been confused if I should count the whole six months or count from after my loss in July? Not sure what to do there.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? I guess the worst gifts I've received, which aren't really bad, just funny, are Christmas ornaments from DH's family. His grandmother gave me a high school musical ornament that plays the movie's theme song. I don't really care for that movie so I found it funny. Then his cousin gave me an ornament that is a shark wearing a hula skirt. It's not the most attractive ornament, but it always makes my mom and I hysterically laugh when we see it.

I've received a lot of good gifts over time. One of my favorites was when my DH surprised me with a necklace on Valentine's Day. It was the fact that we had never given each other gifts before on that day because we were both broke in college and then after college we just never thought about it. But the first year we were married he surprised me with the necklace. I thought it was incredibly sweet. I wear it all the time.

JRB3 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: Everything!

R/R/CS: Ugh I have had varying degrees of EWCM and watery CM since Sat but no positive OPK... in fact the line looks to get getting lighter. Don't think I O'ed based on temps though.. just want to O! DH will be away Sat to Sun; prob just my luck I will O Sun and miss the egg yet again.. sigh.
GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? Best gift was diamond studs from my parents when I finally finished all my schooling. I love them and wear them a lot. Worst gift?? I got a hideous tray with a rooster on it at my shower.. I returned it but that is the only thing I can think of in recent memory.

@severmilli12 That picture of the small shirt is hilarious!!!

@JounoGr123 I am sorry you are starting month 6.. that sucks. I hope this is your month!!!!

MoonPie701 · November 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD:1

WAYDTGKU: Waiting for AF to end, temping, CM, OPKs

R/R/CS: I'm not benched anymore! Today is CD1 of my first period after D&C. I'm thankful it didn't take a long time to get my period back. It's been 28 days since my D&C, so a normal cycle length. This afternoon I have my post op checkup, they'll test my blood to make sure my levels are down and I'm not sure what else.

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? Best: Probably a purse H gave me 3 Christmases ago, I've used it everyday since. Worst: One year he got me an old lady foot bath...haha.

ETA: doctor appointment

WAYDTGKU: All the things

R/R/CS: Finally getting fertile CM today. Good lord. Also, I've had an almost-positive OPK for days, which I've never had before. On the bright side, this means lots of BD-ing for the next week. DH and I are both off work!!

GTKY: What is the best and/or worst gift you've ever received? My MIL gave me underwear one of our first Christmases. I opened it in front of DH's whole family. Whyyyyy?
