R/R/CS: I'm glad to be back!! Didn't post much during WTO, but definitely lurked! Between thanksgiving and my birthday yesterday (35th! Eek.) I didn't have time to jump on till now. Looking forward to participating again and REALLY hoping this is my month. What a spectacular bday present that would be!!
GTKY: Any good holiday family drama this weekend? Tell me why you're glad Thanksgiving is over! No real drama but I did have my bro and sis in law over, together with their 1 year olds and spouses. Really saw all of the hard work, different parenting styles, and stress thresholds up close and personal! It didn't sway me at all, but I sure am glad to be done hosting!
Me: 36 | DH: 34 Married: May 2008 TTC #1 since August 2015 FET #1: November 4, 2016 BFP: November 13, 2016 EDD: July 25, 2017
R/R/CS: Just general stress and feeling sick to my stomach these past few days. I told my mom about my SIL announcing her pregnancy and she misheard and thought I was talking about myself. Once I corrected her, she responded with "thank goodness". Thanks for the support, mom.
GTKY: Any good holiday family drama this weekend? Tell me why you're glad Thanksgiving is over!
My SIL announced her unplanned pregnancy and I've spent the last 3 days with family asking when DH and I are having ours.
@MNturnsVA I'm sorry you are having a difficult time. I hope that you get some answers soon. My experience wasn't TTC related, but I know how shitty it is to think something is wrong and the doctors can't give you answers. *hugs* Drink all the wine!
I loved temping up until the TWW because I knew what I was looking for with the temp shift and such. Now I look at my chart and just have no idea. I was worried about low progesterone bc my post o temps were right above the cover line but they have end up and down a couple times I just get frustrated no knowing what is happening. I think it will definitely be easier next month because I will have more info about my LP. I definitely tend to read too much into things anyway. I went off bc in September 2012 and we tried for about 10 months until DH had to leave for 6 months. We've been NTNP since Jan-Feb 2013 and just started TTC again in September. So overall it feels like a long time but since I never charted I sorta feel like it didn't count, though that's probably silly.
R/R/CS: Temp went back up from yesterday. I'm still expecting AF by Monday. H had his friends over last night which doesn't happen all the time but when they come they stay til 2-3 am. Their "man cave" is directly below the master bedroom so I can't sleep well. They went to the basement last night which is better but sound still echoes through the vents pretty badly. I like hearing him happy, but I get really jealous because I don't see my friends nearly as much.
GTKY: Any good holiday family drama this weekend? Tell me why you're glad Thanksgiving is over! No family drama this year.
@MNturnsVA I understand where you're coming from. It's frustrating. You may or may not remember this: My first cycle I either didn't O or O'd late and had mixed signals so no good timing. Second cycle was normal somehow, but DH and I were visiting family and didn't find alone time until +1. Third cycle was almost 100 days with no O. Fourth/last cycle DH wasn't here so no chance for timing. So of 2 (maybe 1) of 8 possible months I could get KTFU. I feel like the last 8 months were a waste and there's no way to get it back. I hope this doesn't sound like a trying to one-up thing (if it could be?), I just want you to know you're not alone. Tomorrow will be a new day. Have your pity party; you'll feel better. If you don't feel what you feel now, it will be that much worse later.
R/R/CS: Nothing. Just waiting for my boobs to start hurting.
GTKY: Any good holiday family drama this weekend? Tell me why you're glad Thanksgiving is over! Just DH and I this year. Though he did tell me that he doesn't want to go home in January and wants me to go solo. Bummer. I'm so glad it's over because the BSC shopping can die down enough that it will should be manageable at work.

Testing: going to wait until CD 35 (unless AF arrives before then). I've had a cycle as long as 34 days before and I don't want to drive myself crazy with testing every few days. Plus I know it's unlikely we will get a BFP on the first try.
R/R/RS: new to these boards and have no idea what these stand for, sounds like symptoms? This is my first TWW ever and I'm only one day past O, so nothing to report on that front
GTKY: no! I'm so sad it's over. I work night shift as an ER nurse 65miles away from home, so I'm usually deprived of social time. It was great to see so many friends at once (we did friendsgiving) I wish I had more time off, but back to work on Monday.
Me: 39 SO: 36
Dx: low progesterone, possible DOR - officially "unexplained"

@jenwro R/R/CS is Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk. Basically a place to rant or rave about anything TTC related or not, and ask any questions you might have or ask people to look at your chart.
DS: June 2008 Married: July 2015 BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
@FerdieFox - I think we ALL have our days we read too much into things! And yes, post O temps are important but I can also tell you from personal experience that both of the RE's I've seen have not put much stock into my temps at all. Both have in fact suggested to stop temping all together but to do what I'm comfortable with. And this isn't the 1st time I've heard of an RE saying this. So there's that. There are also GYNS out there who will say the same & when you mention your temps will look @ you like you are speaking a foreign language. I would try to not get too anxious about the temps just yet, but I know that's easier said than done! Were you temping & charting during the time you were NTNP for the 10 months or so? I'd just doing what you feel comfortable with but hopefully next month will be easier for you.
@hunnybunny17 - thanks for sharing/reminding me about your story. Makes me feel better, not one up-ed. . DH & I have been arguing all day so that is not helping...... Hopefully we can resolve tonight but the whole thing from this AM has carried over all day...... I don't tend to sweep things under the rug & move on & he does. So hopefully we can find a happy medium in the next few hours here.
R/R/CS: @mrsE2015 it sounds like we're in a similar boat. 3rd day of spotting, but no other AF symptoms and a huge temp spike this morning (although I did have a few drinks last night). I'm staying here for now, but I have no idea what my body's doing right now.
GTKY: Any good holiday family drama this weekend? Tell me why you're glad Thanksgiving is over! No family drama, but I'm glad thanksgiving's over because we finally finished moving!! We still have a few things to unpack but it feels so good to be settled in our new house.
Hey ladies! I posted about a month ago that my dh and I were starting to try and haven't had time to come back since! Thank you so all the support from that post!!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 19/ not sure this is the first month using ovulation sticks and they were the cheapos...
Timing: either -1 or -4 and -1
Testing: eh not sure. I want to be super patient but Ill probably test 3 or 2 days before AF
R/R/CS: not too much. My dh and and I just moved closer to both our families so all the stress that comes with that!
GTKY: as soon as I figure out how to do this from my phone I have soooo many!
And I can't seem to paste and copy the part about being happy that the hthe Thanksgiving drama was my my DH and his dad getting into a fight at dinner. I love his dad but he tend to yell when mad and no men in my family ever yell! Also it's only the 2nd year without my grandpa who raised me so it was still a little rough.
@Bookhousegirl someone told me today that the spotting could be due to low progesterone levels I also have a few other signs of this like fertile CM after Ovulation. Just wanted to share the info I received! I hope your day is going well.
