GTKY: what is your favourite holiday tradition? Does you family have any unique traditions??
Re: TWW Saturday
Cd/Dpo: 26/8
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing: Monday morning
R/r/c: nice temp rise today. It is causing hope. That is all.
GTKY: what is your favourite holiday tradition? Does you family have any unique traditions??
Our family and a bunch of our neighbors actually go carolling every year on Christmas Eve.
Cd/dpo: 21/6
Timing: -5, -2, -1
Testing: 18 dpo
R/R/CS: I am using this website that teaches foreign languages in order to refresh my German (I took it in high school) and at the very beginning of this cycle I learned how to say "pregnant" and the site kept making me say the sentence "I am not pregnant" in German. Yesterday I was refreshing my skills and the site kept making me say "I am pregnant" so it's definitely a sign and obviously I am pregnant this month
GTKY: what is your favourite holiday tradition? Does you family have any unique traditions??
Cd/dpo: 21/7
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Testing: Every day until BFP or I lose hope.
R/R/CS: I'm following my normal post-O "symptom" pattern, so that's disappointing. I had a tiny rise this morning, so nothing exciting there. The dip I had was too early to mean anything. Not feeling all that optimistic.
GTKY: what is your favourite holiday tradition? Does you family have any unique traditions?? Every Christmas my mom buys my brothers and me fancy ornaments. I have a tree full of them now, and it always looks gorgeous.
CD/DPO: 29/11
Timing: -3,-2,0,+1
Testing: Caved yesterday BFN as expected, I'll probably retest Monday
R/R/CS: I've been fixating on my chart and SS, plus I had a bad/sad day at work yesterday so I need to refocus on the positive. I think I'll do some yoga and keep myself busy today, I've already made plans to fill the day.

BFP #1 Nov 2015 ended in MC Dec 26 2015
BFP #2 Feb 2016, EDD Nov 8 2016
Cd/dpo: 31/13
Timing: Not temping, but I'm guessing -2 and O based on CM and OPKs.
Testing: Tested on 10 dpo and BFN. Will test again Monday if no AF.
R/R/CS: My gut is telling me I'm out this cycle. Ordering my BBT to start temping next cycle.
GTKY: what is your favourite holiday tradition? Does you family have any unique traditions?? My family doesn't really have any unique traditions. I teach Kindergarten, and I absolutely LOVE it this time of year. We make latkes for Hanukkah and ornaments for Christmas. I also do Elf on the Shelf with them which is super fun. They are just so excited that it makes me excited.
BFP #1 Nov 2015 ended in MC Dec 26 2015
BFP #2 Feb 2016, EDD Nov 8 2016
Cd/dpo: 14/5
Timing: -2, -1, +1
Testing: Wednesday
R/R/CS: I am staying at my cousin's for the weekend and I'm glad the change in environment didn't seem to affect my temp in any way.
GTKY: what is your favourite holiday tradition? Does you family have any unique traditions?? My favorite tradition is how we spend Christmas Eve.. who and where we celebrate with and seeing all of my extended family on my Dad's side.
Cd/dpo: 19/6
Timing: EOD
Testing: Nov 29
R/R/CS: As much as I didn't want to tell my MIL we are trying (I wanted it to be a huge surprise) I'm going to tell her today. She found out I've been depressed and she is a great listener. I'm hoping she can help me feel better and less depressed.
GTKY: what is your favourite holiday tradition? Does you family have any unique traditions?? Christmas Eve is SIL's birthday so we go out to dinner and she opens birthday gifts. Then we drive around town looking at lights. Afterwards I go to Christmas Eve mass which is the only time DH comes to mass with me. (Although I'd almost rather him stay home because all he does is play on his phone and that drives me insane).

Pulling a page from @mrsdho11 J HAHA
0SeaMonkey0 That tradition sounds so fun!!!
bcooke314 Clearly that means you’re pregnant!
chrlyr I have the same dismal feeling. Fx’ed this is your month.
Merocket59 Just say no to the symptom spotting!!!
BooksForMe23 It will change your whole experience. At least the mental aspect. I love it
dogmomwantinghuman I hope she helps. My MIL doesn’t speak English so I’m super jealous right now.
Month/cycle: 7/6
Cd/dpo: 25/9
Timing: 0, -3, -5
Testing: 13 dpo (Wednesday)
R/R/CS: I’ve been super down about the current state of the world so I deleted my FB. I just needed to remove myself from people who I really want to love but their posts are making it hard. On a happier note, my husband and I are finally in comfortable budget place and able to talk about it without extreme stress on my part. We have goals that we’ve agreed on and a contingency plan should things become disastrous in the middle east. I’m super excited about this and that we are finally on the same page.
GTKY: what is your favourite holiday tradition? Does you family have any unique traditions??
I don’t think we have any unique traditions. Most of the stuff is pretty standard. The last two times though that I was able to make it home for Christmas, myself, my mother, and my SIL (my sister and husband didn’t want too) played Yahtzee over coffee (baileys in it for my mom and I.. My SIL doesn’t drink) and our traditional ribbon sandwich breakfast. That felt like a great beginning to an awesome tradition.
ETA: My husband and I don't have any yet. A lot of our friends travel for Christmas or we travel so haven't really developed any of our own. If I don't get home this year for Christmas I want to spend it in our house. He kind of wants to travel to his own home-country. Which I just don't want to spend Christmas traveling again. (He isn't Christian so it's not like he wants to go home specifically for that time. I'm just a teacher though so breaks are limited in which time we can actually travel) I'm currently trying to convince him to come home Christmas Eve morning
My best friend at work is also ttc. We joke around that you could put my phone died extra fast and it could come up as a symptom. We are definitely on the just say no train. lol
@dogmomwantinghuman We are tossing around the idea of telling a very few people that we are TTC. We are both getting pretty upset at times and it would be nice to have extra support. I hope that it goes well and you get the support you need from her!

Timing: +3, +1, -2
Testing: maybe 10dpo
R/R/CS: dashed crosshairs are gone!
GTKY: not really anything unique but we buy each other new pj's to open on Christmas Eve.
@Mlight28 sorry to hear about CD1
@sarah0985 I haven't played Yahtzee in years! Might have to pull that one out!
@dogmomwantinghuman I forgot about driving around and seeing lights we do that too!
@Kristin712 glad your temp is still good with your visit!
@BooksForMe23 I work with kids too and this time of year is a blast with them! Also temping is so wonderful in the fact that you have reassurance! And I hope everything works out with your DH being home!!!
@Merocket59 that is so awesome that your Gma is still in your life! Very special memories! Also, I hope your weekend is better than your workweek!
@chrlyr we have a family friend who is pretty much like a Gma and she also buys us fancy ordinates each year! My DH also has a similar situation and this is our first Xmas being married and living together so I am sure our tree will be beautiful!
@bcooke314 tots pregnant
@0SeaMonkey0 I would love to do carroling! I think that is an awesome tradition!
Cd/dpo: 22/7
Timing: -3, -1, O
Testing: Already testing...
R/R/CS: So I've been testing out my trigger. The test yesterday morning looked negative within the timeframe but it had an evap when I looked at it after work. This morning the test definitely had a line within the timeframe so I'm not sure what to think. It's way early for it to be a real BFP so I'm thinking yesterday was a funky test. And I remembered that I peed in the middle of the night (the night before the negative test) so I hadn't held it as long as I usually do before FMU. So much for not over analyzing this month! I was hopeful that my trigger was gone so I would be sure of a real BFP if it happened. I guess not. And my RE was supposed to call with my progesterone results this morning and I haven't heard anything yet...
GTKY: what is your favourite holiday tradition? Does you family have any unique traditions?? I can't think of any specific or unique traditions but I love getting together with my Dad's side of the family on Christmas Day. They're so fun!

R/R/CS: We ordered new living room furniture today. We got two oversized chairs with ottomans and all I could think of when I was sitting in it was, "Damn, this is gonna be so comfy when I'm hugely pregnant!"
GTKY: what is your favourite holiday tradition? Does you family have any unique traditions?? Every year, DS gets a new Christmas ornament that embodies his year. Last year it was Elmo, this year it was Thomas the Train. Everyone opens one gift on Xmas Eve from Santa - new pjs and a new Xmas book for DS. The last two years he's gotten The Polar Express and The Grinch, this year he's getting The Night Before Christmas. Santa leaves a special note in each book for him

BFP #4 1/2016, DD born 10/2016
Month/cycle: 4/3
Cd/dpo: 30/7
Timing: -4, +1
Testing: Newp.
R/R/CS: Totally not TTC related, but I was just at Starbucks getting my first peppermint mocha of the season, no makeup on and oily hair (I don't wash it every day and today is a washing day) and wearing sweats, and this guy came up to me and said, "Excuse me, sorry I'm being so forward, but you're the most beautiful girl I've seen all day." Granted, I was probably the first girl he'd seen all day, but I thought that was extremely sweet (and brave). It made my morning.
GTKY: what is your favourite holiday tradition? Does you family have any unique traditions?? My parents and I have always watched Muppet Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve and then open presents, and on Christmas Day we go to breakfast and see a movie. We're going to be at the in-laws this year though, so I'm not sure what we're doing. I did tell them I want to watch Muppet Christmas Carol though.
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,
because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
Cd/DPO: 43/8
Timing: -3, 0, +1
Testing: Wednesday!
R/R/CS: Feel free to CS of you have any thoughts...I woke up a little early and temped then, so it's an open circle, but my temp is almost the same as yesterday, which was an all-time high. I wish this wasn't my first cycle temping and I knew if this was normal for me, or a reason to be cautiously optimistic!
GTKY: what is your favourite holiday tradition? Does you family have any unique traditions?? - My favorite tradition is going out to the movies on Xmas Eve with H. By that point, all gifts are bought and wrapped, and all my cooking/baking is done. We did that our first Xmas together and every year after - AND 2 years ago he proposed right after we got home from the theater :-)
ETA - sorry for the double image! Can't figure out how to remove it
CD: 26
Timing: ED
Testing plans: hoping for Wednesday if no AF but that's doubtful. I'm sure I'll either test or have AF before then
R/R/CS: so I've been relatively symptomless up until like yesterday and they sure feel like AF symptoms and not pregnancy (but of course I've never been pregnant).
Eta: my GTKY was on here but TB ate it!
GTKY: my fave holiday tradition is when all my siblings and their families gather at my parents home. It isn't always Christmas Day and is sometimes a very short gathering (a few hours) but is something I look forward to every year. Especially bc DH and I don't have any children of our own it's so fun to open presents with all our nieces and nephews. It is the best time.
What a sweet thing for that guy to say! I'm sure it made your day.
Also, LOVE peppermint mochas from Starbucks!

Sorry, I don't mean to be a downer at all and there's no reason to think this isn't your month, but it just really sucked last month because I was convinced I was pregnant because my chart looked so good. Fx for you!
Married: July 2015
BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
@sldp123 - no worries! I know that even if I am 8 DPO, high temps make sense now - I think I'm just so relieved to see my chart doing what it's "supposed" to do (KU or not) after 5 weeks of not knowing WHAT was going on!
Month!!
Cd/dpo: 23/12
Timing:-2, 0, 2
Testing: cd 30 (11/28)
R/R/CS: I just discovered the signs of a yeast infection. This is the first one I can ever remember having. So, while it sucks to have, I'm grasping at the hope that it's a good sign.
