Re: TWW Tuesday
CD/DPO: 28/8
Timing: -4, -1, 0
Testing Plans: Christmas Eve and every day after
R/R/CS: Question: has anyone else noticed that symptoms seem more noticeable at night and in the morning? I feel like every morning I wake up with sore boobs and every night I go to bed with cramps and nothing in between? I know that hormones fluctuate throughout the day which is why af so often comes at night and pregnant ladies often go into labour in the middle of the night, but I don't know if those same hormones cause PMS symptoms to be worse at night too. Doesn't matter, it's just something I've been curious about the last couple of days.
GTKY: NOT CHRISTMAS RELATED!!! Tell us your favourite date night ideas (keep it clean!) DH and I love just getting a nice coffee and wandering the streets to see what we see. Now that the weather is getting cold we won't be able to do that much until, let's face it, probably next June (I live up North) so I need some ideas!!
CD/DPO: 17/3
Timing: -4, -3, -2, 0
Testing Plans: I plan on testing on NYE, for obvious reasons.
R/R/CS: I got my CH today!! I was really hoping I O'd on CD13 like I normally do so I could hit both -1 and -2, but oh well. One day off didn't effect my timing much.
GTKY: NOT CHRISTMAS RELATED!!! Tell us your favourite date night ideas (keep it clean!) I love going to a small, dark pub with DH and drink, eat dessert, and talk for hours. Its my favorite

CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0
Testing Plans: NYE if no AF
R/R/CS: In one of my dreams last night I thought I was pregnant so I grabbed a test out of the bathroom and took a digital FRER smart watch test. Then I realized it was a gender test and not a pregnancy test just as my mom walked in the bathroom. So I told her to surprise us and I walked out. Then I found out at our gender reveal party that we were having a girl. But I remembered I never took an actual pregnancy test and EVERYONE KNOWS the FRER digital smart watch gender test is notorious for false positives and not recommended for pregnancy tests. So I took a dollar store test at the party and found out it was negative. I was upset when I woke up.
I may or may not have been looking at pregnancy announcement and gender reveal hashtags on Instagram before bed...
GTKY: We spend a lot of our date nights either at the movies or watching movies at home. During the day we like to explore cities and go on hikes but at night we're pretty boring. We like to be snuggled up inside.
CD/DPO: 20/4
Timing: -4,+1
Testing Plans: not really sure yet. I am going to pick up some tests today.
R/R/CS: so I think my thermometer is not working that great. It's been 97.3 and 97.4 the past few days. I am going to temp with my new one as well and the old one to figure out what's going on. I marked today's temp with the new one.

Testing Plans: None
R/R/CS: BBT keeps dropping and I'm just waiting for my period to show. Even yesterday I had this sliver of hope that my temp would miraculously go back up this morning and that I could give my husband the adorable soccer onesie I bought on a whim on Christmas morning. Nope.

R/R/CS: My temp spike this morning but am not reading too much into it. We leave tomorrow to fly to Virginia Beach to visit my little sister who just had her second baby. I am excited but hope that I can handle it. Both of her kids were conceived on the first try. WAHHHH

Timing: : CD 5, 7, 9, 11, 12. 12 was my peak fertile day, if it was the same as last month. .. really hoping!
Testing Plans: well AF is due xmas Day so we will see how long I can hold out
R/R/CS: ugh. My boss has been such a royal asshole for the last week. It make me dread going to work, which really sucks because I LOVE my job. They have been trying to get pregnant for close to 2 years so I know that's some of the reason he's been in a crappy mood, but I'm sorry, don't take it out on me. We've been working together for 4.5 years and have a really close relationship So i think it's easy for him to be a jerk to me

We don't have date night often but, when we do, it's usually just out to eat.
CD/DPO: 22/4
Timing: -4, -2, 0, +2 (we went for the eod route this month. I think with the last few months, dh was struggling to "refuel". Here's to hoping we solved the issue!)
Testing Plans: I KNOW Christmas is too early (7 dpo) but I have zero self control and enjoy wine too much
R/R/CS: I switched to temping vaginally this month and dammit, I feel like a roasting turkey that needs to be checked if its cooked thoroughly. Every time.
GTKY: Staying in, fire going, popcorn and a movie....which I most likely will fall asleep during....at 7pm....on a Saturday. Cool.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: -1
Testing Plans: Waiting for AF
R/R/CS: This whole cycle has been awful, and I'm not convinced that I actually O'd. I never got a positive OPK, I had one that was close, but not quite as dark as the control. I barely had any fertile CM, which isn't usually the case. The tiny bits of EWCM that I did get had blood in it, which has never happened before that I can remember. I also had a cyst rupture on Saturday but I have no idea whether or not that can have any effect on temps or anything.

Testing Plans: not testing anymore, waiting for AF
R/R/CS: Took a test this morning with a BFN. No current symptoms of AF but this doesn't look like our cycle so I hope she hurries up so we can start over
GTKY: NOT CHRISTMAS RELATED!!! Tell us your favourite date night ideas (keep it clean!): We like to go to this really nice restaurant for cocktails. The lighting is perfect and dimmed, very romantic.
CD/DPO: 32/8 ( up for debate...)
Timing:-1
Testing Plans: already started because I can. I'll just keep testing until bfp or AF.
R/R/CS: feeling crampy yesterday and today. Yesterday I thought maybe I was a little hung over from the weekend but now I am not so sure. Maybe I O'd earlier than FF predicted (my chart was wonky) and AF is around the corner just waiting and laughing (she knows when you are sleeping... She knows what you're awake... This song is getting creepy). Time will tell. Temps still above cover line.

We like to Make dinner and eat at the actual dining table with the nice wedding dished (it's the only way we use them!) there is usually a bottle of wine, candles, and lots of innuendos involved.
CD/DPO: 22/6? (not sure I believe CH)
Timing: -5 (x2), -4, -3, 0
Testing Plans: NYE
R/R/CS: Yesterday I had a little bit of spotting (which I have never had mid-cycle since I got my period) and today my temp dropped below the coverline. Way too early for it to be because of AF, even if I ovulated a few days earlier (which I think I might have). So of course I'm thinking implantation bleeding and implantation dip and now I've got my hopes way up. So I definitely have to hold off on testing or I'll ruin my Christmas.

Staying in bed and watching movies. And then, you know..
CD/DPO: 31/10dpo
Timing: -1 -3
Testing Plans: everyday... BFN today *thought* I saw something 8dpo...been having stark white ICs and a FRER at 9dpo, saving the FRER for tmrw or trying to hold out till 12dpo ( when I got a faint positive on FRER with DD)
---------------------TMI Warning CM related------------------------------------------
R/R/CS: ugh, I don't have symptoms... but I never do when I'm pregnant... I'm 10dpo major temp rise today 98.3 last cycle my LP was 10days... no sign of the witch yet.... but still BFN so I'm trying to not get my hopes up. TMI warning... 9dpo I had a small glob of cm tinged yellow, no other yellow discharge since then but googling I found it *could* be a promising sign... thinking if it were from implantation I could maybe see a BFP tmrw... time will tell

If we feel like staying out longer we'll go grocery shopping together and take our time instead of rushing.

Timing: -1 or 0 I think
Testing Plans: assuming I'm not pregnant because this cycle is wacky
R/R/CS: this is my first real cycle temping and it doesn't seem to be as helpful as I really wanted it to be. FF is not giving me cross hairs and I think my life might not be conducive to temping. I have children already so on any given night I could be up with a wet bed or dealing with a bad dream or taking someone to the bathroom. I rarely get the full recommended 3 hours before I try and temp. And because I'm on vacation, my temp times have been all off. I think the spike and dip might be related to a painful ear infection my son was experiencing last week. I have no idea.
Chart question is: does it look like I ovulated? I had EWCM a couple days last week that I noticed. And is it even worth temping if this is what my charts will look like?

Testing Plans: Today and until BFP or AF
R/R/CS: So yesterday my wondfo looked pretty negative. I had to twist and turn it to *maybe* see a line so I assumed my trigger was gone or almost gone. Well this morning there was the faintest of faint lines. Seems darker than yesterday but I know better than to think this might be the start of a BFP. I've been burned by my trigger plenty of times. I'll keep testing and hoping it gets darker.

This is just my opinion, but I'm thinking it doesn't look like you O'd yet. you can discard the temp on CD9 (if you want) if you know it isn't accurate. And since you say your were up with a LO ear infection then you're probably right. Assuming that the CD9 temp is wrong, it looks like the only day you could have O'd is on CD6, but that's probably just your body adjusting after AF. You're really looking for an overall pattern where your temp spikes then stays high and I'm not seeing that. I would keep HIO for now.
I'll attach my chart so you can see the temp shift I'm talking about (if you need a visual to look at)

It doesn't look like you've ovulated yet. How long are your cycles normally? CD13 is still on the early side to ovulate. You chart actually looks really good. The dip is huge but if you have an explanation for why it might have happened, just record that in your notes so you'll know when you look back. If the dip seems to be causing problems later, you can discard that temp if needed. All your other temps look relatively even especially if your sleep is disrupted.
The first cycle or two charting is frustrating because you want immediate answers but that's not how it works. If you keep recording data, you'll find that as you look back a few days you will get a much better understanding of what is going on.
ETA: Since it doesn't look like you've ovulated yet (not surprising) you should probably post in the WTO (waiting to ovulate) thread. You'll feel much better talking with ladies who are in the same situation as you instead of those of us who have already ovulated for this cycle.

Testing Plans: NYE just in case, and then wait for AF
R/R/CS:
GTKY: Jump on the cruisers and go for a ride on a lovely day and then stop somewhere and have a beer!
If you are using a cycle tracking app, they usually look for three consecutive days of sustained high temperatures before confirming ovulation, so ovulation is not usually confirmed until 3dpo. Once you become really familiar with charting, you can probably be pretty sure earlier and just get confirmation at 3 dpo, but it doesn't sound like you've been doing this for long.
I discarded that temp and now it looks like I O'd on CD 6 which is really early and I didn't have any EWCM then. My cycles are usually short , around 24-27 days but I still think that's early for an ovulation. I'll go jump over to WTO and hope that I haven't missed my FW but here is my chart without the dip.
Thanks again for the help!
I'm not charting. I tend to get a little neurotic and I'm worried that charting would not be healthy for me at least right out of the gate. I've been using OPK this month for the first time and so far that seems like a good middle ground between nothing and charting. If this group is primarily for ladies who chart, let me know and I will keep lurking and learning. Thanks all!

Even though I have felt crampy etc for days and knew it was coming (bc it has every month) I still am so so sad. Losing hope in general. Good luck to everyone else.
Month/Cycle: 8/6th month temping
CD/DPO: 6
Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0
Testing Plans: waiting on AF
R/R/CS: I'm not very optimistic this cycle based on the post coital CM test results (non swimming swimmers were found) even though our timing was good. I'm hoping that we did the CM test a day late which is what affected the test but at the same time, looking back on my charts from previous months, we've had good timing during FW overall for BD, so it makes me lean towards an issue with the CM. There is a lot going on in my career life right now and I'm on the fence about many things. Glad that the holidays will hopefully keep me occupied over the next few days and hoping the days pass quickly. We are talking about new years eve plans but its hard because AF should be showing up by 12/29 at the very latest. We don't want to commit to something we'd need to buy tickets for in advance for New Years and not go if we were to get a BFP. Glad we did something big last year to celebrate in case this year is low key. I know we cant live like we are already pregnant, and its not that I wouldn't enjoy going out still for the evening but there could be a lot of things we'd do differently if we did get a BFP or a BFN. My timing overall for when AF should arrive stinks.
GTKY: NOT CHRISTMAS RELATED!!! Tell us your favourite date night ideas (keep it clean!) We usually go to the movies or out for dinner with friends.....depending on what we are doing date night for there may be a concert or something going on too. We are pretty boring and low key
****If I don't get a chance to get on again before the holidays, I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas!! I've got my fingers crossed for lots of Christmas BFPs for everyone!!!
@LittleMissTimeLord- Sorry about the bad dream! My DH is a home body so when we do date nights we usually go out because most of our time is spent @ home. Although there are some definite plus’s to being at home too J
@m6aqua- I’ve actually swapped BBT’s 3 times this cycle and I surprisingly have not noticed that much of things being off. We’ll see what the real outcome of this is at the end of the month I guess! I switched because I had a yeast infection and didn’t want to re-infect and all I had handy till my new Mabis came in was my old Target one that is known to “favor” temps. So I used that one for a few days till the new one came. We usually go to the movies too for date night.
@anj27- Sorry about the temp drops……This game is so frustrating……Hope you will be able to enjoy the holidays even if AF shows.
@teamginger13- safe travels to you!! I hope that you are able to handle the visit with your sis too. Hopefully it will just be fun filled and while I’m sure thoughts of your situation will always be in the very back of your mind, I hope that is where they will stay.
@SDSwenson- Sorry about your boss being a jerk!! Two years of trying sounds extremely frustrating. I skimmed through the Impatient Woman’s guide to getting pregnant and one of the chapters in the book talks about the statistics of how long it takes people depending on age, etc. It said that for women over 35 most conceive on their own by the 2 year mark. I’m almost at the one year mark over here and I just can’t imagine. I’m sure his wife is probably not the most easy person to put up with. My DH said he had to tell his coworker the other day that I was frustrated because of his hours lately and he needed to be home at a reasonable hour during my FW about a week ago. So he’s probably feeling frustrated for many reasons. I’m sorry he’s taking it out on you though. Sounds like you have a close enough relationship maybe you can offer an ear for him to vent too?? He probably feels very isolated with people who know what is going on and maybe not comfortable talking to some people about what is going on. He probably also has some things he maybe wants to tell his wife but doesn’t know how? Maybe he just needs to talk it out with somebody who can relate that isn’t his wife? Not saying you are in their shoes, but maybe just tell him you guys need to do lunch and put work on the back burner and see if he’ll talk? Hope things get better!!
@CClark2014- do you know how long your LP is? That is usually a good indicator of when you should test for the most accurate results without getting repeated BFNs.
@iceandsnowflakes29- I feel ya on the wait…..we are trying to figure out what we are going to do for New years and the not knowing is not helping. AF should show up on 12/30 at the very latest based on FF. We don’t want to pre spend $$ on tickets for a night out somewhere or reservations and then not go if we were to get a BFP. I know we can’t live like we are pregnant now, but this timing stinks.
@mali0902- checking the roasting turkey!! Ha ha ha……We are super cool over here too. Most Friday nights we are in bed much earlier than any other night of the week. You are not alone!
@FerdieFox- Sorry about the cyst rupturing, I’m not sure about the temps being affected. I would think anything is possible. How do you know you had a cyst rupture?? (if you’ve mentioned the details on this in the last few days, I’m sorry, I’ve barely been on here in the last 10 days.)
@furbabymom2007- sorry about the wonky temps and cycle…..that always makes this that much more fun…..FX that this cycle ends on a positive note for you, wonky and all!
@bcooke314- will be curious to see what happens with your cycle this month! FX things work out in your favor this month!
@LilyGracesMommy- so if your LP was 10 days last month is that your average?? FX for you
@MamaPerkins- I would say that no you have not O’d yet. How long are your cycles typically? 12 days into your cycle is pretty early to O but again that would depend on the length of your cycles. I would definitely continue temping and just do your best with the 3 hours of sleep rule and trying to get it at the same time. If bedtime is 9 pm, I’d set your alarm for 1 am or try to find some happy medium in there for taking your temp. If you are new to FF and temping, FF will give you CH (dotted or solid depending on how sure it is that it can confirm O.) Most women would be posting in the WTO if you are still WTO, for future reference
@Sarafuss- FX for you…..I’m sure the waiting the trigger out can make you go a little BSC…..Hang in there girl!
CD/DPO: 22/9
Timing: All the days
Testing Plans: Tested today even though it is way too early...BFN, shocker. I will most likely keep using my Wondfos until AF shows up...
R/R/CS: I had a great time at my dad's wedding. I wasn't planning on drinking, but the wine and prosecco were SO GOOD!! I am still a touch hungover two days later. Ouch. I have also had leftover wedding cake for breakfast for the past two days. So much for my strict, clean diet. But for real, this cake is from heaven. Chocolate with reeses peanut butter filling. My husband paid a waiter to stash three pieces for us to bring home. The cake tray was scraped clean. So freaking good!!! It was the same cake we had for our rehearsal dinner and there was not a single crumb left.
A minor rant...one of my dad's friends kept coming up to me a telling me she knew I was pregnant. I'm all, I hope so, but you never know. I guess her ute X-ray googles are well calibrated. Or maybe it was just a food baby?
I didn't temp for the two days I was at the hotel for the wedding, but my last three temps have been exactly the same! I was worried my BBT may be favoring temps, so an hour later I took my temp again and it was .3 higher, so I don't know it is just coincidence or what. At least the temp is not dropping, right? Chart is attached if anyone would like to chart stalk. I am also annoyed that I once again have brown creamy/sticky CM (sorry, TMI). It is not a lot, but it has been constant since 5 dpo. I have also been having stabbing pain in my lady bits. Not really AF cramps, just annoying pains. STOP MAKING ME WANT TO SS, BODY!!
Gosh...I had a lot to rant about since I have't posted in two days!! Sorry!
GTKY: NOT CHRISTMAS RELATED!!! Tell us your favourite date night ideas (keep it clean!)
Why does it have to be clean??
We love going to an early dinner and then a walk on the beach. We also love to cook together.
I mentioned the cyst thing in WTO the other day, but didn't get into much detail. I didn't go to the doc or anything, but I've had two other cysts rupture that were confirmed during ER visits. This felt exactly the same as those so I'm assuming that's what it was. Unfortunately every doc I've seen for them just hands me a script for bc and doesn't ever want to do any further testing. So I don't even know what kind of cysts I get or if there has been any damage to my fertility. I have to go to military clinics and they won't do anything more than absolutely necessary. Just last year I had debilitating headaches non-stop for three months and was still refused a neuro referral and had to beg for a CT scan. I don't really bother seeing a doctor anymore unless I'm bleeding to death or have broken bones.
