BFP #4 1/2016, DD born 10/2016
CD/DPO: 29/12
Timing: -2, 0 (I think)
Testing Plans: Monday if no AF
R/R/CS: I have zero symptoms...Not even for AF. Which my crazy brain then thinks must be a bad sign because what if I didn't really ovulate and this is going to be a super-long cycle again and BAHHHH! I seriously was trying to avoid temping because I'm a very restless sleeper (I usually wake up 5-6 times per night), but if it helps get rid of the crazy, then I will!
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? Just travelling a couple of hours to DH grandma's house. I EAT ALL THE FOODS!
BFP #1 Nov 2015 ended in MC Dec 26 2015
BFP #2 Feb 2016, EDD Nov 8 2016
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 1/0
Timing: n/a
Testing Plans: New Years
R/R/CS: Well folks I'm out. Got a third temp drop today, officially below the cover line, and AF showed up. I am incredibly pleased with FF and charting in general! What an amazing thing! I predicted my own period even with a 38 day cycle! Woohoo I know my body! Now aiming for a xmas baby. I'm scheduled to O on my birthday and to test on Christmas. That's GOT to be a good omen.
Good luck to you ladies, I really love to see the BFP's!!
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? I'm Canadian AND vegetarian! Thanksgiving is over and my favorites are the side dishes sans-meat

CD/DPO: 24/7??
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing Plans: 10 dpo
R/R/CS: chart obsessed. I had to check the chart gallery this morning because I thought my temps weren't going up fast enough to be KU.
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food?
Thanksgiving was last month. We stayed home and MIL came here for a few days. I can't have turkey without stuffing. I could actually take or leave the turkey, just give me the stuffing!!
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Testing Plans: I had lofty aspirations of waiting until 11dpo. Ha. I'm starting tomorrow.
R/R/CS: Every cycle I convince myself that I'm going to be a speshul snoflayke and get a super early positive. At least I'm self-aware.
Temp rebounded today after yesterday's dip. Looking okay, but temps aren't that high.
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? Our families are local, so basically we eat twice. Yum. My favorite is mashed potatoes and gravy.
CD/DPO:25/4??
Timing:-2
Testing Plans: Thanksgiving
R/R/CS: I was totally symptom spotting this morning when I woke up with sore breasts. I then remembered DH was quite enthusiastic last night and realized it was more likely from that. :-/ On a rave note - it's Friday and next week is a three day work week!!!!
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? We're staying local but by the time T-day comes around it'll be my third Thanksgiving - I love it! Fav food is some Turkey rice my mom makes with the turkey drippings - it's amazing!!
Warning****BFP*****
Cycle/month: 2/2 (but NTNP since July)
CD/DPO: 31/12
Testing: got a positive on a wondfo this morning, 12 DPO but my luteal phase is only 10 days so I was 2 days late and figured my odds were hopefully decent.
GTKY: staying local this year and having my relatives from Ohio over my moms house! Should be fun, I miss them and they are awesome people.
This group helped me an unbelievable amount! I had no idea about charting and I read the impatient woman and taking charge of your fertility. Had I not read either book I would have missed my O. My cycles range from 30-45 days and are affected hardcore by stress and running, so I needed to figure out what was going on. Anyway, this group is amazingly supportive and I couldn't imagine getting through trying to figure this all out without it!!! Super excited and hope to stay 9 months in the July or August BMB!! FF says July 31.. So we will see! Hope everyone has a happy Friday, TGIF!!
CD/DPO: 13/4
Timing: -2, -1, +1
Testing Plans: Wednesday!
R/R/CS: My temps keep rising! Hoping that means a nice healthy egg was released.
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? We stay local. Luckily, both of our immediate families live in the area. We will be with my side this year as we alternate. I am SO looking forward to my grandmother's stuffing!
CD/DPO: 19/4
Timing: -3, -1, 0
Testing Plans: None
R/R/CS: I find myself extra frustrated by the special snowflake new discussion posts lately. I don't get it. I really don't. When I signed up for the forums and was told to read the newb threads, I did. In big part because the three-day wait forced me to. I don't understand what these people do for that waiting period. Particularly for the drive-by posters. If you need to ask Internet strangers if you're ovulating or pregnant or if your spotting is a bad sign, WHY WOULD YOU WAIT THREE DAYS TO ASK? Why wouldn't you roll over to Yahoo Answers or one of the 18 billion other pregnancy forums? I don't get people.
In better news, I have a friend coming to town for a long weekend and I'm crazy excited to see her and for the distraction.
GTKY: We are staying at our apartment just the two of us. We moved to a new state earlier this year and I made it clear that our first holidays in the new state we were staying at our own place. Not trying to be a dick, we've just been trying to move for years and I wanted us to enjoy the holidays in our own space. Our families know they're welcome to visit but no one is coming to see us.
My favorite Thanksgiving food is stuffing. Hands down. Followed closely by mashed potatoes. It's all about the sides. Turkey is just kind of meh to me, I don't get the hooplah.
CD/DPO: 27/3
Timing: -2, -1, O, +1, +2
Testing Plans: Wanting to hold out until after Thanksgiving (11/26) but DH is asking me to test on Wednesday so I might end up caving and testing on Wed.
R/R/CS: Yay! CH showed up today - a nice welcome to the weekend
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food?
**question**
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 26/10
Timing: -3 -1
Testing Plans: BFN this morning, I know it's early but with the weekend and drinking I wanted to check
**do temps normally stay high even with spotting? Last month was my first time temping and my temp dropped way down when I started spotting which happened yesterday but stayed elevated. Trying not to
read into it, just don't have enough of my own history to go by!
R/R/CS: Just TGIF, I'm so sick of work drama
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? Staying in town, will be with in laws for Thursday. It's all better leftover in a sandwich!!!
CD/DPO: 42/7
Timing: -3, 0, +1
Testing Plans: Day before Thanksgiving, which will be 12 DPO.
R/R/CS: Well over the course of this cycle (my first one charting), I've gone from thinking my body just didn't work right and I would never O, to being super happy with how my chart looks. I can't help looking at it several times a day. I feel like, even though I've been telling myself that our timing wasn't good and chances for a BFP are slim, I'm going to feel SO bummed out whenever I wake up and see a temp drop.
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? Just traveling an hour away to my mom's house! I love ALL Thanksgiving food, but this year I'm in charge of the stuffing, so I'm going to go ahead and say that will be my favorite this time around :-)
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: -4, -1
Testing Plans: Not sure yet.
R/R/CS: Ovia so kindly told me this morning that if I were to conceive this cycle, my due date would be the same week that would have been my Dad's 60th birthday. I know the chances are insanely small, but it took me by surprise and now I'm over here like:
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? Local, all the family lives here more or less. Uhm.... we are ham people.
Eta: Cd/20
Congrats @KyCade3013 !
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: -4, -1, 0, +1
Testing Plans: BFN this morning. Waiting for AF.
R/R/CS: I'm pretty sure I'm out this cycle. My boobs are really sore, but I think that's just AF. I got super sweaty yesterday at yoga, which is usually another lovely AF sign.
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? We're going to new england! Hopping on a plane tomorrow! Favorite food is....oh man, a forkful that incldues a piece of turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing on it.
It's been a long road- Let's just say that!
CD/DPO: 21/6
Timing: -3, -2, -1 (if I'm right about the day...)
Testing Plans: I was going to wait till 11 DPO, but eh I'll probably start Sunday at 8 DPO
R/R/CS: Same old stuffs....
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food?
@KyCade3013 congrats!!! Happy and Healthy 9 months!!
Month/cycle: 5/5
CD: 25
Timing: ED
Testing plans: Wednesday....but maybe earlier unless AF. I was feeling strong but it's waning.
R/R/CS: just trying to hold out as long as I can for testing and hoping AF stays away!
GTKY: I love thanksgiving. We are hosting thanksgiving at our house with DH family bc I am on call for work so I may have to go in. I love all the carbs...stuffing/dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, pumpkin pie...
CD/DPO: 29/14
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing Plans: I expected AF to show up every time I went to the bathroom yesterday, and when she didn't, I grabbed a wondfo after an event last night and tested. Unmistakable positive!!!!!! Ran to a 24 hour CVS this morning after another positive wondfo and picked up a FRER, FR digi and Clearblue digi. FRER and Clearblue digi were positive (FR digi was negative). Today, I am pregnant!! I can't even believe it - we had our infertility consult appointment scheduled for Dec 3rd. This cycle I did do some different things than usual: acupuncture, no coffee or alcohol, probiotics. I've been on baby aspirin, vitex, royal jelly, CoQ10, Chromium and L-arginine for a couple months as well.
R/R/CS: crampy and bloated, gassy. No sore boobs. I really did not expect this - no symptom spotting even! I haven't told DH yet. He is flying into DC to spend the weekend here (I've been here all week). I'm going to meet him at the airport when he lands with a sign that says our last name on one side, and then when I see him I'll flip it to the other side which will say Daddy!
GTKY: We always do Thanksgiving with DH's family in upper Michigan. Favorite food: yams/sweet potatoes (it's like candy!)

Yay @AL_TwinCities!!! I am so unbelievably happy for you. I have been lurking on the regulars often, and am so happy that you got your BFP. Wishing you a H&H pregnancy!
CD/DPO:20/7
Timing:-1,0,+1
Testing Plans:Thanksgiving (13DPO) is what I'm hoping to wait till, but I'm getting the itch and I have a ton of tests waiting (bad move on my part) I should have waited to purchase any.
R/R/CS: I'm with @PrettyPalomino on how great charting is. I think it would be so much harder during these months we all go through trying if we weren't able to see some of the science behind it.
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? We will have both sides of our families at our house for Thanksgiving. (Its pretty much our norm to host holidays and events) I was never a huge turkey fan until we started deep frying them, between the injections and rub, its delish!

Timing: N/A
Testing Plans: None yet
R/R/CS: Heading over to WTO. After 52 days AF must have missed me because she's back with a vengeance! Even though I'm bummed I must say I've absolutely loved charting this cycle, it was long and frustrating but knowing exactly what was going on gave me such peace of mind. I'm hooked! Good luck to everyone here, FX for some Thanksgiving babies
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? Staying home for Thanksgiving and eating all of the stuffing.

DS1 -- 9/30/2016
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 25/10
Timing: -4, -2, O
Testing Plans: Sunday Funday (12 DPO)
R/R/CS: I thought I would cave and test this morning, but I just didn't buy any tests so I couldn't. Temp still high this morning, but since this is my first cycle temping I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Going OOT and wedding gown shopping with my little sister tomorrow so that will be a fun distraction until I can test on Sunday.
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? Both our families live nearby so no traveling for us! favorite turkey day food is probably green bean or broccoli casserole.
CD/DPO: 30/16
Timing: -5, -2, -1, O, +1
Testing Plans: Today, at my 3:30pm appt with my midwife.
R/R/CS: I was sure that AF would be here by now. Days of cramps. Sore nipples. Headaches. I guess as soon as you start to try on those shorter cycles, your body throws a curve ball. Last month it was 33 days.
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food?
Staying home. I'm cooking. The in-laws are coming. Apparently. My favorite thing is the green bean casserole. I used to hate it as a kid, but now I love it.
@AL_TwinCities Your post made me tear up! So happy for you. Congratulations!
Eta: admission of tears
@MotherOfDucks good luck today! That would be so exciting for your midwife to come in the room to tell you you're pregnant!
Month/Cycle: 6/5
CD/DPO: 21/6
Timing: -3, -1, O
Testing Plans: 8dpo (well, 7dpo to confirm the trigger is gone)
R/R/CS: Tested my trigger this morning and I was happy to see that the test looked negative. Last cycle I went from trigger to BFP (ended in chemical) but I was stressing over if it was real or still the trigger. I was hoping this cycle I would get a clear negative and then (hopefully) a BFP so I would know for sure it was real. So now I'm not sure if I will test tomorrow or not. I figured the line would still be visible at this point so I would test from 6dpo on. Though knowing me, I'll probably test. I have zero willpower! I was also really crampy last night and got my hopes up. I know better than to SS. Yet, I do it to myself every time.
GTKY: Are you traveling or staying local for Thanksgiving? What's your favorite turkey day food? I am so excited that we are only going to one place (my mom's) for Thanksgiving. We usually have 3 places that we need to go. My favorite is mashed potatoes. I am obsessed with the Pioneer Woman's recipe and will be making them to bring.

R/R/CS: So I really hate the scaling on the FF charts. Does anyone know if you can set a custom scale? Small fluctuations look huge with the scale that they have. I also have a paper chart because I can put in custom things without having to pay for an FF subscription and my temp dip today looked like way less to worry about on my paper chart this morning.
