R/R/CS: My 7 year old woke up a couple weeks ago in the middle of the night throwing up. I had to get up, clean her and her bed up, throw everything in the wash, and make her a new bed at about 3am. Last week she came in my room at 4am with a bloody nose. Cleaned her up, changed her pjs, put her back to bed. It was kind of a rude awakening about what I am getting myself into starting over with a baby. My kids are 10, 7, and SS is 6. On one hand I feel like a baby will be kind of easy since I know the drill and have been there done that. On the other hand I feel like I maybe have forgotten how exhausting they are... and I won't be the professional that I think I am seeing as how waking up twice in the middle of the night this month was so rough!
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself?
I skipped a grade in school but I hung out with the bad crowd and ended up dropping out of high school at the end of 10th grade. I joined the Army when I was 17 and spent 4 years in including a tour to Iraq. Best decision I ever made.
@MRSCORKER - It was fun to attempt all of the fun techniques. I still play around with that song every so often, just because. I had a few German pieces I did my freshman year at HC, but my advisor didn't want me to participate in theatre because I needed to practice singing. That lost it for me. I knew I wanted to be a teacher, I just decided to try a different area.
@MRSCORKER how long is your LP usually? I wouldn't worry about the temp dip it looks like a normal temp fluctuating, if it were more of a gradual decrease it would be a little different. And I hear you about the debt, I think in life there is always going to be a stressor or reason to wait that no time will be perfect but I'm glad you guys are still trying! Fx for you!
@AmMcc12 woohoo!!!!! Congrats!!! So excited for you, I've been on the lookout for you since your triphasic chart last cycle. H&H 9 months to you!
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD/DPO: 27/10
Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, +1
Testing: probably tomorrow--holding out this long was long enough!
R/R/CS: still no sign of AF usually she comes 11-12 DPO so it would be exciting if this were our time!
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? I've been on TV multiple times (different news outlets) for research conducted at my last job
Testing: I had a crappy blue dye test laying around so I took it this morning. I honestly can't tell if it's straight up bfn, dye run, or squinter. I'm just trashing it because blue tests are crap and I'll test with a digital in a few days.
R/R/CS: nothing chart related by holy hell TB mobile app is seriously pissing me off. It randomly logs me off (not really though because it shows in logged in, just no permission to post). I feel like I'm participating way more than I actually am because I type up so many replies that I'm never actually able to post.
GTKY: I was hit by a car while riding my bike as a kid. I still dislike riding bikes on the road and will only go on bike paths/trails.
@AmMcc12 congrats! I saw that you had a bfn at 10dpo, so I'm keeping my FX that the same happens for me H & H 9m!
@Bubblegum5586 I wouldn't hesitate to tell you mom, I plan to tell immediate family at Christmas if this cycle works out for us, for the same reason @Mrscorker mentioned; it's nice to have support if it does turn into a CP.
@SLou24 it's so hard to have pregnancy announcements sprung on you.. Last year at DH's work christmas party it was Nothing but pregnancy announcements; I think there were 4! ... it was the worst... It's ok to be frustrated and emotional about it for a short time; I give myself room to vent privately, so that when my friends do surprise me I can give them a stoic "congrats" without breaking down.
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD/DPO:26/11
Timing:-3,-2, O
Testing: BFN today, I have 4 more Wonfo's left, so I'm trying to use them sparingly but it's so hard... I'm going to try to wait until wed or thurs to test again.
R/R/CS: My temps are higher this month than my previous 3 months, so hopefully that's a good sign. No symptoms at all currently, not even any AF symptoms but it is a little early (AF due Thursday). I think the odds of a bfp after an bfn 11dpo are probably pretty low, but I've seen a few charts on FF with that testing pattern. *sigh* at least I'll know one way or another before Christmas and all drinking.

@beachbunnyxo123 This is my first month consistently temping but my educated guess would be a 14-15 day LP. I usually O around day 14-15 and usually start spotting on CD 29 or 30. The next few days temps will tell the tale, I just really wanted to wake up this morning to temp spike!
You guys... I just went to Wal-Mart on my lunch break and bought a bunch of 88c cheapies. WHY DO I TORTURE MYSELF?! It'll be my first experience with them. Does anyone know what level hCG they detect?

R/R/CS: Fellow commuters probably thought something was wrong with me this am, because I was bawling on my drive to work. A local radio station is providing Christmas gifts, $ ect for deserving families, and the lady that was chosen today was so humble and sweet. {Not SS, I'm just always a crier}
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? I can't think of anything other than the radio program now. It makes me want to go and help someone else.
Married since 9/2014 TTC since 7/2015 BFP 12/24/2015 Miscarriage 3/4/2015 at 14 weeks Baby Girl BFP 9/10/2016 EDD 5/23/17
CD/DPO: CD 17. Didn't temp this month or use any OPK's, sooo unsure when I O'd.
Timing: CD; 6, 9 and 13.
Testing: AF is due just before Christmas, so will see what happens next week. Getting a BFP over Christmas would pretty epic. I could just imagine my DH's face if I told him on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. A girl can dream.
R/R/CS: Feel pretty lost this month with the fact I have no idea if/when I O'd this month. I made the decision though, so just got to suck it up and wait things out.
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? If I spin around on the spot, I have to spin back around from the way I came so I don't feel so discombobulated. Yeah. I know!
R/R/CS: Getting really anxious, every month gets harder. It astounds and upsets me (even though I know it shouldn't) that my sister was able to accidently get pregnant when she didn't even want a kid, and I want one SO BAD and it's a real struggle
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? I am a HUGE Star Wars fan and I literally took off most of this week so I can "prepare" for the new Star Wars movie
@mrscorker@Megzb510 debt sucks. Not to be spitting out propaganda on here but we are big followers of the Dave Ramsey program and we have significantly reduced our debt over the last 5 months. You should check it out. We won't be debt free until sometime next year but it has really helped.
And lol how many people on here are singers! I'm certainly not a good singer except in my shower or the car but I love hearing people sing who are excellent!
@CClark2014 I am totally a crier too! Those kind of stories about acts of kindness etc. I cry at tons of holiday commercials too.
Month/cycle: 6/6
CD: 21
Timing: nearly every day
Test plans: waiting for AF and if no show then I'll test.
R/R/CS: trying not to wish my life away every TWW but it's hard. Just ready to find out the result of this month.
GTKY: I am not too interesting but I was a competitive gymnast for about 8 years...but no one told me height is genetic and once I was 13 or so it became apparent that I was not going to be gymnast size for much longer
I read every day.. I haven't posted here in a few months. I've been taking a bump hiatus.
Month/Cycle: 6
CD/DPO: 42/9 or 10
Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0
Testing: tested today, BFN
R/R/CS: I am unsure of my actual O date. I had two days of very dark positives but I didn't have a very noticeable thermal shift when FF said it did.... around the time where I ovulated I woke up cold and I retook my temp on 12/4 and used the second one which was .2 higher. If I use that, FF changes O date to Saturday. I think I ovulated more on Sunday. Help! Slight temp drop this morning.
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? I took 4 years of Spanish in high school and still remember a lot. I'm too scared to talk in Spanish to people other than my coworkers...
R/R/CS: TMI alert. I'm having TONS of EWCM today. Like, gross, noticeable stuff. No idea what's up with that but I really hope I actually did ovulate when I thought. (I'm not symptom spotting, I know it's too early for that).
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? I was in the George Clooney movie Ides of March as an extra. I stood right beside Ryan Gosling. Yum.
@DumbledoresArmy the same thing happened to me last cycle. Was certain I ovulated earlier with ewcm and a drastic temp shift up. But at about 6 dpo, I had an abundance of ewcm. So I'm also wondering if I ovulate later than I'm thinking. But, isn't a big temp rise sign of ovulation? (Not to mention ewcm and high/soft/open cervix) So I guess I'm wondering if the temp rise is possible, with ovulation occurring 6 days later? Or can you have a lh surge after ovulation? Thoughts anyone?
*** crazy lurker warning *** (I'm not TTC, but trying to get familiar with the board)
@rkstro2 We follow the Dave Ramsey program too (mostly, there a few things we don't do). Became debt free this summer and are now saving up a downpayment for a house! I highly recommend using the snowball method to anyone who will listen. It's so nice to have those loans gone.
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? Is double jointed almost everywhere. As a result I have sprained almost everything and dislocated several fingers and toes. Being accident-prone doesn't help.
CD/DPO: 20/2 - I'm heading over early since I had a strong shift in temps
Timing: -3, -1
Testing: I'm due for AF on Christmas Day so I'll probably test on Christmas Eve at 12 DPO. My DH proposed on Christmas last year so I'm really hoping I can give him this present this year. So yeah, basically I'm not putting any pressure on myself or my body this cycle
R/R/CS: Not much here today. I love how distracting the holidays are for TTC
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? Hmm can't think of anything to go here today
Before I start, I want to thank you for your support, snark, and honesty. Although my journey doesn't compare to some of yours, I can definitely say that I understand the rollercoaster ride of TTC and I pray that each and everyone is able to receive a blessing to love. Also, can I still participate or not in this community?
Month/Cycle: 2/2 (1 month NTNP)
CD/DPO: 30/17
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, O, +1
Testing: I started testing at 9 DPO with super faint lines and received some confirmation on 11DPO, however it wasn't until my ER visit this Saturday that they confirmed before almost giving me a horrible prescription.
R/R/CS: I am still very cautious and trying not to get too attached. It sounds crazy but I just fear the worst.
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? I love scrapbooking and party planning.
Testing: I have been saying the 19th because of a wedding.... But I caved, ordered wandfos that will be here tomorrow night so I think I'll test Wednesday, which will still make AF late.
R/R/CS: oh man... My chart is looking good.... A little too good that it's really getting my hopes up. 13dpo my temp always drops a bit a this morning it went up! Chart stalk below. Also- by some amazing awesomeness and I get a BFP on Wednesday.... I am having lunch with my mom for her birthday Thursday.... Is that too early to tell her? She wants a grand baby so bad and it would be cool to tell her on her bday... It's just really early!
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? I hate chocolate and always have. It really sucks because dessert is almost always chocolate
Yes! I think it would be a great idea to tell her. I don't think there is a too early! Family support is soooo needed during the journey.
**CS PLEASE.** Tell me I'm being crazy about my tiny temp drop! Talk me out of the crazy!
@Megzb510 That is crazy! Did the lightening set fire to the house? So scary!
Month/Cycle: 2/2 (1 TTCAL)
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: O
Testing: Friday at 12 DPO. I only have one FRER so I'm trying to keep myself from buying Wal-Mart cheapies and peeing on all of them at 10 DPO.
R/R/CS: My temp took a little dip this morning. The rational part of my brain is telling me that it means nothing, as tiny as it was and that I was sleeping next to an open window. The arguably bigger, irrational part of my brain is feeling down about it. Also, I'm feeling stressed about money. Maybe it's the holidays and a little progesterone induced anxiety. We have some credit card debt that we originally thought we would have paid off in the first year of our marriage and that we could start TTC after our anniversary debt free. Well, that was a lofty dream. We did make a dent and get it paid down a little bit no where near paid off. We're both in our 30's and aren't getting any younger and we just decided that if we waited to TTC until we were debt free, we'd never have kids and that when we do get our sticky bean, we'll make some cuts and figure it out. It is what it is, I just wish we had been smarter about money a few years ago.
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? Once upon a time, I was an opera singer. I'm very much out of practice now and don't do much singing anymore. As it turns out, being an opera singer doesn't pay very well. Who knew?
ETA: CS
I can relate about the financial stress. We made some horrible money decisions. We have recently started cutting ends and using financial planning apps (Mint, ExpenseQ) to put even bigger dents in our debts.
Testing: AF was due yesterday and when the afternoon came around with no AF I decided I would test. I used a Wondfo and there was a faint line. I used a Wal*Mart $0.88 before bed and there was a super squinter. I took a FR Curved Handle this morning and yep there are two lines! That test is waiting on the bathroom counter for DH when he wakes up!!
R/R/CS: This is all surreal! I want to thank you ladies for all the knowledge and support you have provided me with and for keeping me sane (ish) during this process. I will be peaking in and waiting to see who will be joining me in August BMB. Good luck to all you amazing ladies!
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? For all you dental peeps out there, I have a extra cuspid on my by cuspids. No idea what that means, but my dental hygienist was pretty excited when she figured it out.
Testing: Dec. 22nd at 12 dpo, unless my crazy kicks in
R/R/CS: Just chugging along in the TWW. Trying to keep my mind off things. Ugh, so hard every time. You'd think I would get used to the TWW, but sometimes it's just HARD!!
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? Oh, I have loved reading everyone's responses to this, but I'm too tired to think of one.

GTKY: I am not too interesting but I was a competitive gymnast for about 8 years...but no one told me height is genetic and once I was 13 or so it became apparent that I was not going to be gymnast size for much longer
Eta: congrats @AmMcc12!
I read every day.. I haven't posted here in a few months. I've been taking a bump hiatus.
Month/Cycle: 6
CD/DPO: 42/9 or 10
Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0
Testing: tested today, BFN
R/R/CS: I am unsure of my actual O date. I had two days of very dark positives but I didn't have a very noticeable thermal shift when FF said it did.... around the time where I ovulated I woke up cold and I retook my temp on 12/4 and used the second one which was .2 higher. If I use that, FF changes O date to Saturday. I think I ovulated more on Sunday. Help! Slight temp drop this morning.
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? I took 4 years of Spanish in high school and still remember a lot. I'm too scared to talk in Spanish to people other than my coworkers...
CD/DPO: 35/6
Timing: -5, -1, 0
Testing: not sure
R/R/CS: TMI alert. I'm having TONS of EWCM today. Like, gross, noticeable stuff. No idea what's up with that but I really hope I actually did ovulate when I thought. (I'm not symptom spotting, I know it's too early for that).
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? I was in the George Clooney movie Ides of March as an extra. I stood right beside Ryan Gosling. Yum.
@DumbledoresArmy the same thing happened to me last cycle. Was certain I ovulated earlier with ewcm and a drastic temp shift up. But at about 6 dpo, I had an abundance of ewcm. So I'm also wondering if I ovulate later than I'm thinking. But, isn't a big temp rise sign of ovulation? (Not to mention ewcm and high/soft/open cervix) So I guess I'm wondering if the temp rise is possible, with ovulation occurring 6 days later? Or can you have a lh surge after ovulation? Thoughts anyone?

DS1 -- 9/30/2016
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: -3, -2, -1, O
Testing: 12/21
R/R/CS: the TWW sucks. That is all.
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? Is double jointed almost everywhere. As a result I have sprained almost everything and dislocated several fingers and toes. Being accident-prone doesn't help.
DH: 40
Married: 2 years
CD/DPO: 20/2 - I'm heading over early since I had a strong shift in temps
Timing: -3, -1
Testing: I'm due for AF on Christmas Day so I'll probably test on Christmas Eve at 12 DPO. My DH proposed on Christmas last year so I'm really hoping I can give him this present this year. So yeah, basically I'm not putting any pressure on myself or my body this cycle
R/R/CS: Not much here today. I love how distracting the holidays are for TTC
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? Hmm can't think of anything to go here today

Before I start, I want to thank you for your support, snark, and honesty. Although my journey doesn't compare to some of yours, I can definitely say that I understand the rollercoaster ride of TTC and I pray that each and everyone is able to receive a blessing to love. Also, can I still participate or not in this community?
Month/Cycle: 2/2 (1 month NTNP)
CD/DPO: 30/17
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, O, +1
Testing: I started testing at 9 DPO with super faint lines and received some confirmation on 11DPO, however it wasn't until my ER visit this Saturday that they confirmed before almost giving me a horrible prescription.
R/R/CS: I am still very cautious and trying not to get too attached. It sounds crazy but I just fear the worst.
GTKY: What is a unique/interesting/crazy fun fact about yourself? I love scrapbooking and party planning.
Married: May 2009
