PrettyPalomino · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: -4, -2, -1

Testing: Every day. BFN again and slight temp drop, so no more POAS for me.

R/R/CS: It's not over until AF shows but I feel pretty certain she will show up. Which means I CAN DRINK ON XMAS! And I can get my laser eye surgery! Trying to trick myself into thinking this is a goooood thing.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? Personally I do find the BFP announcers to be a little tactless but I have a real distaste for people who don't care to understand basic physiology in relation to TTC, like the "my nipples tell me I'm ovulating" type.

Tippy05 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 21/7

Timing: -5, -3, -2, 0

Testing: Friday - 10 DPO

R/R/CS: My temps are increasing, which is good, but for some reason I'm already disappointed this cycle. I have no reason to be yet, I just am.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? Drive-by BFPs. I'm sick of all the BFP announcements. On FB, the drive-by's here, co-workers... I think the symptom spotters aren't much better but the gifs and snark that follows are always amazing!

halesh5 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 27/10

Timing: -3, -2, 0, +1

Testing: if my temp stays high, 12dpo

R/R/CS: my temp shot back up??? I didn't temp yesterday because I was upset with my two temp drops. Someone give me some science because I don't know what to think right now. The unicorns and rainbows are on the way. I should remind myself that last cycle that bitch AF showed up without a temp drop warning. ETA my LP is usually 10-11 days

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? What annoys me more is the drive bys!!! Seriously...you've been reading a lot on TB but you flash your BFP in our face? No ma'am.

edited because I can't read and to add stuff and birch =\= bitch

Lulucooks · December 2015

Month/Cycle: Too many

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: -2 ,0 ,+1

Testing: in a day or two

R/R/CS: I had a dream I got my BFP.... I could have lived without that.....

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs?

BFP, easily.

khbear117 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 20/7

Timing: -4, +2

Testing: Christmas morning if no AF

R/R/CS: Finally got some CH! I was so excited this morning because my chart looks like crap. I was sick, and then DH was sick this cycle so our timing is bleh and my temps were nuts, but FF seems to think I O'd CD 13. We will see!

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs?

Symptom spotting. Maybe it's because I'm early in my TTC journey or maybe it's because I work in L&D, but other people being pregs doesn't bother me quite as much. Symptom spotting makes me nuts though and makes me go, "oh I have that, too..."

Megzb510 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/3

CD/DPO: 41/10

Timing: -5,-3,+1

Testing: I caved and tested today. BFN.

R/R/CS: I had the most long and vivid dream that I had a BFP last night. I think that's why I couldn't hold out anymore on testing. I woke up and was convinced I was preg. Now that I've let the testing beast out, I'll prolly POAS daily til AF.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? OOh love this question. I am entertained by the symptom spotters cuz the symptoms are increasingly bizarre and all over the place. Tingly nipples, gurgling uteruses, extreme bowel movements are real symptoms that people tell a group of Internet strangers (cuz it's not like they are actual participants on the board). Boggles my mind. But drive by BFP with trite "words of wisdom" or humblebrags about their extreme fertility annoy me so much. Go share that on the Glow community cuz I hear they love that unicorn and rainbows crap. I thoroughly enjoy the flurry of gifs that gets unleashed upon them.

chrlyr · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 18/7

Timing: -1, 0 (maybe)

Testing: BFN today, but duh

R/R/CS: *Question* I randomly woke up at 5:20, so I took my temp - 97.77. I just laid there until the alarm went off at 6 and then temped again - 98.33. I should use the first temp, right?

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? I think the symptom spotters because they're more likely to obnoxiously argue over it, whereas the drive-bys post and ghost (I love that term).

MRSCORKER · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2 (1 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: O

Testing: BFN this morning. As @Megzb510 said, now that I've gone down the POAS rabbit hole, I'll probably test every day until at least 13 DPO. I might stop when I go through my cheapies, not sure I want to waste my digis.

R/R/CS: After my very minimal temp dip yesterday, I got a spike this morning, highest my temp has been so far. I guess that gave me a case of speshul snowflake syndrome and prompted me to test at 9 DPO. *face palm*

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs?

I think the drive by BFPs are worse. The symptom spotters at least have a question, even if it is a ridiculous one. The BFPs are just being AWs.

MRSCORKER · December 2015

@Chrlyr I would use the first temp. That happens to me pretty often, I just stopped taking my temp again unless I've actually been sleeping. Even when I think I've just been laying there, I've actually been tossing and turning.

Edited to fix tag

Ash9614 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 25/3 or 4

Timing: -2,-1 or -1,0

Testing: I'm thinking Christmas Eve. I don't think I want a bfn on Christmas Day but can handle it the day before. Will be a little tricky since we'll be at my in-laws.

R/R/CS: after tip-toeing in yesterday I'm more confident today. FF gave me crosshairs after this morning's temp. I'm a little rejuvenated because this means that I accurately interpreted my secondary fertility signs over the weekend. I thought I ovulated Thursday or Friday fertility friend is giving me crosshairs for Saturday so not too bad! The timing I have listed above reference is ovulation or Friday or Saturday just in case my temping was off.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs?
Probably the drive-by BFP but to be honest I usually ignore all of it. Most of the time the OP never even comes back to respond so I figure why waste my energy? And, if they do respond, the drama ensues and I'm entertained!

While I do ignore most drive-bys there have been a few where I've just stared at my screen mouth open and said, "....girl wut?!"

Bubblegum5586 · December 2015

****** TW -BFP!!!! ******

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 27/14

Timing: -4,-3,-1,0

Testing: haha I said the 19th, then I said tomorrow, but I woke up today to another higher temp and I had a few crampy feelings yesterday (was hoping it was just gas) and I realized that if AF showed up I'd loose it. My chart looked so good and I thought a BFN would be better then all of a sudden AF. And holy shit it was a BFP... I didn't even cry (H did) I think I'm still in shock and will have this dumbass look on my face all day!

R/R/CS: within minutes of seeing the BFP I started panicking that it was a blue dye test and it was Inaccurate. I have wondfos coming tonight but should I get a digital at this point?

This board is amazing! I had no idea it would take 6 months and I would have completely lost it if I hadn't came here to be educated and share in laughs and frustrations! I hope you all get your BFP soon!

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? At first neither but as time went on the drive by BFPs for sure.

anj27 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 40/9

Timing: Decent

Testing: Friday, DPO12

R/R/CS: Just waiting.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? Drive-by BFPs are just boring and irrelevant to me but drive-by symptom spotters at least have the potential to be entertaining.

ETA: Congratulations @Bubblegum5586! Your chart did look really good!

Tippy05 · December 2015

congrats @Bubblegum5586!

MRSCORKER · December 2015

Congrats @Bubblegum5586! I'm so impressed that you waited this long to test! If it were me, I would pee on a digi, not because I think you got a false positive, just because seeing the word "Pregnant" will ease your anxiety. H&H 9!!!

ajn092 · December 2015

Congratulations @Bubblegum5586! Have a H&H 9 mos!

halesh5 · December 2015

beachbunnyxo123 · December 2015

@chrlyr I would use the first temp @Bubblegum5586 congrats!

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 28/11

Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, +1

Testing: BFN today, let's be real I will prob POAS every day from here on in

R/R/CS: was so unbelievably nauseas today (tmi coming) and was dry heaving this morning. I never get sick so it was bizarre. Obviously it can't be a symptom since my test was negative but I just thought it was random.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? Drive bys for sure

TheTamedShrew · December 2015

Congratulations, @Bubblegum5586!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 23/6

Timing: -4, -2, 0

Testing: watching temps, but I finally found some $.88 cheapies at Wal-Mart so now they are sitting on my dresser taunting me...

R/R/CS: Another very low temp today. Still above cover line, but wtf? So weird to have such low temps half way through LP. I read on FF that estrogen could be the culprit. I also woke up freezing because DH had turned the fan on high, but who knows. This part of TWW is the worst. I can't symptom spot, over analyze my chart, or pee on things yet.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? I like the entertainment on both accounts, but of course BFPs will become more annoying the longer it takes to get my own.

bestnameever · December 2015

congrats @Bubblegum5586!

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 28/13

Timing: -2, +1

Testing: tested 3x this past week including this am- BFN- i'll probably stop now until AF.

R/R/CS: I would like AF to come already so i can get going on ovulating

also I can drink at my holiday party- so trying to look on the bright side!

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? DRIVE BY BFPs hands down.

Mlight28 · December 2015

Congrats @Bubblegum5586 !!

Month/Cycle: 9

CD/DPO: 25/5

Timing: -5,-4,-3,-1,+1

Testing: 12 dpo

R/R/CS: Chart looks fine so far. DH is cute in asking if my temp is still high every morning. Every morning I tell him yes, but that either way it should still be high right now. Not sure he gets it, but he does get excited every morning that I tell him yes.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs?
I particularly dislike the combo "I have this ridiculous symptom" + "OMG, I just tested and it was positive!"
Rare, but the worst.
Between the two, BFP is way more annoying. SS gives me a chance to polish my gif game.

izza2 · December 2015

Congratulations @Bubblegum5586! H&H nine months to you!

mamadomino · December 2015

Congrats @Bubblegum5586!

Month/Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 25/9

Timing: -5, -4, -1, +1

Testing: BFN today and yesterday. I KNOW it's rare to get a bfp this early but I'm still unreasonably bummed.

R/R/CS: I had my hopes up really high for this cycle. I think this is going to be the first one I'll be really upset about.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? BFPs, especially with the "omg don't lose hope your baby is coming" nonsense. The symptom spotting is mostly entertaining, especially the ones that have zero idea how their bodies actually work.

PrettyPalomino · December 2015

CONGRATS @Bubblegum5586 !!! Your chart DID look very promising! (*cough* hindsight bias *cough*)

kins1015 · December 2015

Congrats @Bubblegum5586!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 26/15

Timing: -2 -1 1

Testing:Sunday if i can last that long

R/R/CS: I have this cold i cant get over and I don't have time to be sick with Christmas right around the corner

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? I still new here but I would say the BFPs The symptom spotters can be entertaining especially the GIFs that follow...

AndiPandi127 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 16/4

Timing: -3, -1, +1

Testing: 12/22 at 11 DPO if my LP lasts that long (which would be very good for me)

R/R/CS: FF thinks I belong here, though I am still not 100% convinced. But I'll go with it. Not feeling terribly optimistic for this month, but RE appts are scheduled for me and SA appt is being scheduled for DH today, all for January.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? Can I pick both? I guess the BFPs...at least the SSs can be entertaining threads.

Congrats @Bubblegum5586!

**TW: BFP**

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 29/11

Timing: -1, O

Testing: I said I wasn't going to test, but my temps the last 3 mornings have just gone higher and higher. I had one last digi in my medicine cabinet, so just said "screw it, I'll test and get it out of my system". I set it down on the floor in front of me and started playing with my phone, and after only about 2 minutes, it came out with a positive! DH was in the bathroom upstairs and I just couldn't wait to tell him, so when he got out, I said, "Looks like we're getting an early Christmas present this year" and handed him the test. He is so excited!

R/R/CS: I haven't posted a whole lot in the past few weeks, but I can tell you that I think that this group of TTCers was so much more fun, sarcastic, and GIF-tastic than when I was on here trying with DD. You all are amazing and I will definitely be a dirty lurker to follow what is going on with everyone!!

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? The SS, but only when they are really out there (que: gurgling uterus)

CClark2014 · December 2015

Congrats @Bubblegum5586!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 19/5

Timing:-3, -1, 0, +1

Testing: the 20th will be 10dpo

R/R/CS: DH and I made metal snowflake ornaments last night. Depending on if we get a BFP or not, they will get stamped Soon to be Grandma and Grandpa. We've made ornaments for our family almost every year, so it (hopefully) will be pretty fitting.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? BFP, Why would someone make an account and never post? Or did you just spend the whole 3 days thinking how we were going to say how excited we are for you??

izza2 · December 2015

Sarafuss · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 16/2

Timing: -5, -2, O

Testing: 9 or 10dpo (probably 9dpo)

R/R/CS: I've gone and got my hopes up again. I was doing fine while WTO thinking it probably won't happen this cycle and just accepted that we will be trying IUI next cycle. But then I had a lot of EWCM on -1 and O and I had none the past two cycles. So that got my hopes up that this cycle might be different. And DH has been taking his vitamins (just a daily multi-vitamin) for a few weeks so I'm hoping that helps his count. Ugh, this is going to be a long TWW.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? Eh, neither get me riled up but I would have to say drive-by BFP's. I know people just get excited and want to tell EVERYONE but have a little awareness and sensitivity.

Congrats @bubblegum5586 & @kcooper1986

Month/Cycle: 6/5 (3 ttcal)

CD/DPO: 29/11

Timing: -3, 0

Testing: yesterday with a blue dye test. Not sure if it was a BFN, a BFP squinter, or just a dye run because blue dye tests are shitty (I grabbed them by mistake). Testing with a digital tomorrow.

R/R/CS: Nothing today

GTKY: I find the drive by symptom spotters amusing because they are all "you guys are soooo mean, just tell me I'm pregnant!!!" The drive by BFPs are annoying as hell though because I honestly don't understand the motivation. What makes you think "Yay, I'm pregnant! I should go tell a bunch of chicks who aren't pregnant, but want to be that I have what they want, even though I've never once posted there before..."

sugarpixxie2 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 29/11

Timing: 0, +1

Testing: BFN this morning. There's still hope right?

R/R/CS: I was pretty mad yesterday. No one knows we are TTC. Last week my 17 year old brother asked me for my amazon prime acct info so he could order something. I gave it to him.

Yesterday, my mom texts me and says:

"your brother said he saw that u purchased 25 pregnancy strips?? He asked me if you are pregnant...."

I texted her back: "I'm not pregnant and I promise I will be changing my password on my account"

THEN she texts: "are u trying?"

I texted: "wow. I would hope I wouldn't have to tell my family not to snoop through my stuff if I give them a password. I thought it would be insulting to even say that to him so I didn't. Then he snoops and tells you and now you are asking me? Boundaries People!"

So anyway, I was just really pissed that on top of my brother being a little snoop which maybe I can forgive since he's 17 BUT he couldn't keep his mouth shut to my mom AND she is clearly oblivious to how tacky she is. Rant over.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? I have only been here a month. Drive by BFP's usually confuse me but then I wonder if maybe I just haven't been here long enough to know who they are!

EDIT: I had part of the OPs signature copied onto this post... so I deleted it

MRSCORKER · December 2015

Congrats @kcooper1986! H&H 9!!!

Also, I keep stalking FF charts for false hope. "Look, this person tested negative and 9 DPO and her temp looks close to mine and she had a BFP the next day!"

teamginger13 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 13/14

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: -3, -1

Testing: none -- waiting for AF which is due on Christmas day (great)

R/R/CS: We only half heartedly tried this cycle which is why our timing kinda blows. I think I have given up on the idea of getting pg naturally. Also, I had a CT scan last week (ordered by the rheumatologist) and the results came back and said I had cysts on my ovaries... I'm like wouldn't that have shown up on the million ultrasounds my RE did? I am very confused.

GTKY: What annoys you more? Drive-by symptom spotters or drive-by BFPs? Drive by BFP's for sure. Especially when they have been trying for 1 or 2 months.

anj27 · December 2015

@sugarpixxie2 I'm sorry, that must've been frustrating. In your brother's defense (maybe - it is totally possible that he actively snooped around), your recent searches and orders are impossible not to notice as soon as you log on. If you want to continue to let your brother use your Prime account, you can actually share your Prime benefits with family members without sharing an account, so that your brother can have access to some of your Prime perks using his own account.

Bubblegum5586 · December 2015

@sugarpixxie2 OMG I almost had that happen to me! My SIL wanted to buy something using my Prime shipping. At first I was just going to give her my password but I quickly remembered and was just like "I'll order it and you can pay me back" luckily she didn't act weirded out by my sudden change of mind.

Then my sister went through a break up and I was trying to help her stay busy, so I signed into my Amazon account to binge watch some survivor with her. When I went to leave that night I signed out and she asked if I could just leave it signed on or my password so she could keep watching.... how was I supposed to say no?! So I went home and quickly archived or deleted anything in my order history I didn't want her to see!

Cysts can happen to anyone throughout their cycle. Try to stay positive
