Re: TWW Thursday
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: -2,0+1
Testing: Tomorrow
R/R/CS: Rainy days....
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? I Google a lot of odd symptoms, probably the weirdest was if taking a hot bath killed sperm *in me*. Since it could kill sperm in men, I was worried.
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 28/13
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing: Done testing.
R/R/CS: I was expecting a drop below the coverline, but instead it went up the slightest. This did not inspire new hope though, I still firmly believe AF is coming and I actually really hope she's here tomorrow so that my LP is exactly the same as last cycle and I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing my dashed CH's were correct.
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? Probably images of EWCM because I haven't had any. YUCK. Burned in my brain forever.
ETA @lulucooks what did you discover in the end? I'm planning on a trip to a spa with hotbaths/saunas! haha
TTC #2 since Mar 2017
DX: MF June 2019, varicocele embolization Jan 2020, good improvement (14 mil, low motility)
IUI#1 Aug 2020 - BFN
IVF #1 Dec 2020 (ICSI) - ER, freeze-all - 15 retrieved, 15 mature, 15 fertilized. 4 embryos frozen, all day 5 blasts!
FET #1 Feb 2021 - BFN
FET #2 Apr 2021 - BFP 5DP5DT!! Beta #1 13DP5DT (17DPO) = HcG 1,238. Beta #2 17DP5DT (21DPO) = HcG 8,269
CD/DPO: 23/9
Timing: -3, -2, 0
Testing: BFN today (whomp, whomp)
R/R/CS: They changed the filter in the water/ice machine at work and now the water tastes AMAZING! Makes me kind of grossed out to think about what I might have been drinking before...
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? It's not bizzare for us TTGP gals but the google searches including cervical texture/position and images of CM would seem super gross/bizarre to anyone else.
CD/DPO: 16/3
Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0
Testing Plans: NYE if no AF
R/R/CS: Got my CH this morning and now the wait is on. I'm glad to be on this half of my cycle, the WTO is so damn stressful. TWW is like well I did what I can do so now I'll eat brownies and binge watch shows while I wait. We had good timing, the rest is out of my hands. I keep repeating our mantra for this cycle, "third time's the charm."
GTKY: I think the one that still makes me laugh is when I looked up if the seat warmer in my car could prevent implantation. I suddenly panicked when I was falling asleep thinking about it during my first cycle TTC. I know heat can impact sperm so I was all worried I was making a hostile environment. Then I ended up on a bunch of forums with women talking about using heating pads every night during the TWW to theoretically make the uterus more cozy for implantation. And then ended up in a black hole of the other forums reading stories from women insisting the heating pad method is the reason they got pregnant.
FWIW I never found any science whatsoever on seat warmers having a negative impact. Actually, I found almost nothing at all, which made me feel even more crazy. I also found no science supporting the heating pad method. I still feel ridiculous for worrying about it in the first place.
Edited because spelling is hard.
CD/DPO: 17/4
Timing: -3, -2, -1, O, 1
Testing: If I have strength, I will wait for 10 dpo...
R/R/CS: Nothing much. Happy to NOT be symptom spotting thanks to this group! I feel a million times more sane this month. It helps that I have zero symptoms...
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? The one that I felt most silly about was looking to see if hot nipples at 5 dpo was an early pregnancy symptom. See R/R/CS...I am better this month. I SWEAR I will stay sane this month!!
Month/Cycle: 8/7
CD/DPO: 22/2 (I haven't gotten crosshairs but 99% sure it was 2 days ago. Just need one more high temp!)
Timing: 0, -6
Testing: I'm anticipating an ~11 day lp but only one successful month of temping to base that on. I'll test The 27.
R/R/CS: I'm traveling tomorrow (insert excited girly squeal!) to surprise my entire family. It will be a 10 hour time difference. I'm not concerned with my temps as tomorrow morning should confirm O. I know traveling can delay ovulation, but can it also delay or change an lp? I am aware that normally an lp does not vary extremely much but just curious if this can change it at all?
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU?
Oh god. When I allow people to use my phone, I just say, pay no mind to my google history. I google everything in general anyway. So, you name it about ttc, I've probably googled it.
CD/DPO: 43/12
Timing: -5,-3,+1
Testing: Tested again today, BFN. My temps are up and down above the cover line so pretty sure I'm out.
R/R/CS: I had some cramps yesterday which I acknowledged mentally with a swift "stop SS". I go to the bathroom and have enough spotting that I pull out a pad and assume AF is en route. But it was only a one time spotting so of course I'm googling "11 DPO spotting" so I forced myself to read old bump threads to remind me that it means nothing, that I am *not* a spechul snowflake with implantation bleeding. This is my first cycle ovulating so I know my mind is grasping at straws right now.
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? Well "11 DPO spotting" wasn't a proud moment but I've had a couple patches of EWCM and gotten 2 crosshairs this month that got taken away so of course I googled "EWCM after ovulation". Yeah.... I just hadn't ovulated yet.

TTC #2 since August 2015
July 2016: Testing cycle with 100 mg Clomid = BFN
August 2016: 50 mg Clomid + IUI = BFN
October 2016: IVF#1 - 13 retrieved / 12 mature / 9 fertilized / 2 blasts
November 2016: FET#1 = chemical
January 2017: FET#2 = chemical
March 2017: IVF#2 - 18 retrieved / 18 mature / 16 fertilized / 5 blasts
May 24, 2017: FET#4 - BFP! - Beta #1 151 - Beta #2 503 - Due date 2/9/18
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: O
Testing: Another BFN this morning. I have 1 FRER and an unopened box of digis. I'll probably test with the FRER tomorrow or Saturday depending on my temps. Not breaking out the digis unless AF is late.
R/R/CS: I would put money on me being out this month so I'm already starting to shift my focus. I've been on the fence about benching myself until after our February vacation but I'm starting to feel like it really is the best choice, even though I hate to wait. I really want to step my gym game up and get in my absolute best shape so that when I do get my BFP, I'll be in a good place and can still maintain a high level of activity. Holding off on TTC for the next 2 months will give me that opportunity and will eliminate the worry associated with traveling so early in First Tri. I'll probably flip flop on that decision a few times between now and my next FW but I'm feeling confident in my decision at the moment.
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? Last month, I started sneezing a lot during my TWW. I didn't google it but I actually wondered if you are more sensitive to allergens during early pregnancy.
Me: 32 & DH: 37
BFP #2: 2/8/16 - EDD 10/20/16
IT'S A BOY!!!!
DS Born 10/16/16
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 29/12
Timing: -3, -2, 0, +1
Testing: this morning at 3:30am cause I couldn't sleep.
R/R/CS: cd 12. I've only made it this far once and I got AF that morning. three faint lines on the wondfos. But I'm paranoid they are fakes. But I've used them before and they were stark white. I'm trying to not get too excited because I want to confirm it with a frer. So I'm on my way now and plan to test during lunch today. We are leaving to go hunting so I packed my hubby his "baby daddy" shirt and if I get a positive in the digital I'm going to hand him the test wrapped in the baby daddy shirt while we are in the deer stand together.
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? I've stayed away from Google to help calm the crazy.
CD/DPO: 25/8
Timing: -4, -2, 0
Testing: got a slight rise in temp today, so if that continues the next two days I will probably cave and test Saturday at 10 dpo. My cheapies are sitting there just waiting to be wasted.
R/R/CS: My LP temps are weird and zig zaggy. Totally different than last cycle. Also super duper tired and sluggish today, so I'm thinking PMS is starting to kick in.
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? Last cycle I was having localized pain in my left ovary and I was convinced it was the corpus luteum doing its job and it was a good sign of pregnancy. Wrong-O. After that big reality check I don't think anything is a symptom anymore.
Me: 32 & DH: 37
BFP #2: 2/8/16 - EDD 10/20/16
IT'S A BOY!!!!
DS Born 10/16/16
Month/cycle I'm guessing how many months TTC? But what is the other number?
Timing? I'm guessing timing of BD around O? So -3 would be three days before O?
R/R/CS what do these stand for?
Once again.. So sorry if this has already been asked, I searched for it but may have not had the right key words.
R/R/CS Are rant/rave/chart stalk. You can either link your FF chart or attach it as a file.
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: -5,-3,-2,-1,+1
Testing: idk I always say I am going to wait till my recommended test day but 10 DPO always gets me! no will power!!!
R/R/CS: chart attached other than that just ready for this week to be done!!!
GTKY: I don't think I have googled anything...Google just causes weird symptoms to miraculously appear! Working in the medical field idk how many times I have heard, "but Google said..." Just no people!!
Timing is the BD in relation to O. Once you get crosshairs, this is really clear. Ovulation is 0.
R/R/CS rants raves and chart stalk. Anything you wanna talk about. You can attach a chart if you want feedback on your chart. Put "chart stalk" or "question below" if you want people to read/respond.

March 2017: IVF#2 - 18 retrieved / 18 mature / 16 fertilized / 5 blasts
May 24, 2017: FET#4 - BFP! - Beta #1 151 - Beta #2 503 - Due date 2/9/18
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 5/20
Timing: once a day two days before and after
Testing: I plan on testing Christmas Day if I haven't and any symptoms by then. That'll put me at 13 DPO. I normally don't test until after AF is late (which actually hasn't happened) because of years ago when TTC I got an early BFP which turned into a MC (probably a CP) that I wouldn't have even known about had I not tested early.
R/R/CS: I haven't been temping. Before when TTC it stressed me out too much and I would never sleep long enough to make it reliable. Thinking of trying temping again next cycle.
Had some testing done recently and found out that my estrogen levels were insanely high. Doctor said I may not even be ovulating. Despite that, I did get a positive OPK last Friday! I know that alone cannot confirm O but trying to be positive.
GTKY: hmmm this is a tough one. I'm sure over the years I have googled some pretty insane things. Maybe if being pregnant causes nose bleeds? One month I was getting them daily and I hoped it was an early sign.
CD/DPO: 21/7ish
Timing: EOD
Testing: 10ish, I never stick to what I say I will
R/R/CS: I'm still sick, started to feel bad Monday night and didn't go to work the last couple days. I'm at work now, so much to do and my brain is working at 30%. Coding and cold medicine do not work well together.
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU?
Similar to, um to, brain sucks and I'm lazy. I looked up if a hot tub would kill the sperm inside me. I was OOT during O w/o DH. I never found an answer and was not KTFU that cycle or any cycle since....
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: -3, -1
Testing: waiting for AF
R/R/CS: Nothing at the moment. Honestly trying not to think about TTC this month since we got benched from IUI
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? Umm over the summer I had a yeast infection and I really convinced myself I was pg based on all the Google searches I did. Yeah, I definitely was not.

R/R/CS: just a chart stalk if anyone doesn't mind, kind of nervous about the "Rocky Mountain" type temps
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU?
I don't think I've googled anything bizarre! Every twinge and headache I have I do Google to see. Should of been pregnant months ago lol

CD/DPO: 31/10 (maybe)
Timing: -4, -1, 0
Testing: maybe tomorrow, but holding out till Saturday if I can, I dont want to waste the tests as my temp is progressively dropping. Tested last night a BFN
R/R/CS: FF took away my crosshairs. Which is really frustrating because I believe I have a short LP, but it's not recognizing it. My temps started to drop at 6dpo and now are pretty much pre-o temps. So waiting to start AF any day.
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? If going on a rollercoaster at 3dpo would hurt anything lol.
HSG - All clear, ectopic kidney didn't affect uterus (yay!)
CT Adrenal Scan - no tumors!
SA - sperm count excellent, 2% Morphology
March/April IUI scheduled - surprise BFP w/ help of Progesterone - 3/18/2016
Beta #1 @ 11dpo - 45.7 #2 @ 14dpo - 163 #3 @ 18dpo - 997 #4 @ 21dpo - 3799
EDD 12/1 based on O, 11/28 per Ob/Gyn (but he's wrong lol).
*TEAM BLUE!*
CD/DPO: 21
Timing: BD EOD/ED basically the whole cycle.
Testing: 11 days from now, so three days before AF is due, which I feel like is a good compromise like, emotionally and mentally. LOL.
R/R/CS: I know it's my first cycle, but I feel very at peace right now. During WTO I found that just like...more stressful. IDK. This is like, I look back on the first half of the month and just like, the excitement and also the genuine enjoyment I had that comes with more intimacy with my husband, and I feel grateful for these two weeks of just like...chilling. I know that sounds kinda annoying, but I'm just trying to be calm about the whole thing, enjoy Christmas and enjoy everything as it is.
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? So much CM googling for one. I don't symptom spot here but my google browser tells another story. That being said, even before TTC, I've always been like, a birth psycho (I'm a doula) and have like, just googled births and get emotional and cry on youtube watching water births. LOL.
CD/DPO: 15/3
Timing: -1, 1
Testing: NYE if no AF
R/R/CS: Got my first Crosshairs. Which was exciting. Except I wish that DH and I had BD more earlier this week because I feel like our timing could be better. I had plans to BD on what turned out to be O day, but we were both so exhausted that it didn't happen. This is also my first month temping, and I had a longer cycle last month (first cycle off of BCP), so my O prediction wasn't until this next weekend, and I didn't have too much CM so I thought I had a few more days to HIO.
I agree with @LittleMissTimeLord that I'm so glad to be out of WTO and into TWW. Now, there's nothing to do but wait and I don't have to stress about when O is coming. Also - just noticed we're both testing NYE, so I have FX for us.
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU?
Like @PrettyPalomino and @Tippy05, I also googled images of CM. Yikes. But I needed a visual reference!
ETA Congrats @halesh5!

CD/DPO: 18/1 (lemme explain)
Timing: -2, O
Testing: Probably 12/28
R/R/CS: You guise - it's been an odd cycle for me. FF gave me crosshairs for CD12 with no + OPK and I was not sold - yesterday got EWCM and a very dark OPK, plus a nice temp rise this morning, and it took my crosshairs away. I'm assuming yesterday was the day, possibly today. Happy with our timing - we've done our job, now do yours, body!
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? Oh gosh...I'm not sure. Likely something to do with food.
Congrats @halesh5 !!
@Yailani23 I think your chart looks good. The mountain pattern is a common pattern from what I've read on FF. But why is FF telling you to wait until like 21DPO to test?? If anyone has that kind of willpower, I'm amazed.

DS Born 10/16/16
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 22/9 according to CH, I'm thinks 10.
Timing: -4, +1 if CH correct
Testing: oh I don't know. FF wants me to wait til 18 DPO because it's my first cycle temping. I use ovia as well, and it says I can test Saturday. AF due on the 23, I would like to say I can hold out until then.
R/R/CS: TMI maybe but we had the best sex last night, which had no chance of baby making. Sometimes it's nice to just love eachother. ❤️
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? Yesterday I was sweating like a pig, and I'm not much of a sweater. So I definitely googled if excessive sweat can happen close to implantation. Yup. I did it. Symptom spotting at its finest.
CD/DPO: 12/2
Timing: -2, -1, +1
Testing:Christmas day at 10 dpo, I think.
R/R/CS: These last 2 super short cycles are weird. I'm so happy to have some normal temps this month and my O spike is great! I hope I'm not jumping the gun, but I think it's safe to come over here. Last month I barely broke out of the 96's. My temps this month are much more in line with my pre MC temps.
GTKY: If it was ok to use neosporin during the tww, lol.
Congratulations @halesh5 !!! Wishing you a H&H 9 months!!

Testing: 12/21
R/R/CS: even though the TWW sucks, once O was confirmed with temps and OPK Istopped temp'ing this cycle during the TWW and it has helped my stress level tremendously! Once I got crosshairs, I put the BBT away and forgot about it. Either AF or a BFP will come. I used to over-analyze every dip, disrupted sleep, etc. I am doing it this way from now on!
GTKY: What is the most bizarre thing you have googled related to getting KTFU? The fantasy-land "I knew at the moment of conception" followed by multiple vague symptoms always has me shaking my head.
