GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution??

ETA: I know this question is a few days early, but figured it would give us all a chance to plan and maybe get creative with it!

wineo929 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 18/3

Timing: -3

Testing Plans: missed AF (1/7)

R/R/CS: none for today- just excited about my CH!

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? I don't normally do one because historically, they last for 2-3 days and then I'm over it

iceandsnowflakes29 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 9

Timing: great

Testing Plans: this morning was a bfn

R/R/CS: I hate the new curved handle frer!

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution??

I don't make them. I never keep them lol.

LizaKate1213 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 19/3

Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1, 0

Testing Plans: None until my temp drops...maybe..

R/R/CS: Got my CHs this morning! Thank goodness. We are more like a once or twice a week couple and this week has us burnt out. First few days were fun, last few days felt like work. Glad to be in the TWW!

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution? I always procrastinate on choosing one and then it's a month into the new year before I know what I want. This past year it was to be less wasteful of food. The year before, to buy as many of my household goods "made in the USA" as possible. This year, I think I want to dedicate myself to being more mindful and practicing meditation daily. I also want to write more in my blog because it really helps with my anxiety.

ShallowSeas · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 13/14

CD/DPO: 23/9

Timing: -4, -3, -2, 0

Testing Plans: I would like to wait until NYE, but I'm already itching to test $:\$ I only have 4 wondfos left so I can't POAS every day starting when I normally do (10 dpo) because I have a 16 day LP. My chart looks good, so it my temps stay high I may test EOD.

R/R/CS: Nothing at the moment. Loving my chart but trying not to read too much into it. I've had a lot of months where my chart looked good and obviously wasn't good enough.

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? I haven't even thought of one yet. Last year DH and I made a resolution together that we were gonna be better friends to our friends and hang out more often. We did a pretty good job but not good enough, so maybe we'll continue that resolution.

m6agua · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 26/10

Timing: -4, +1

Testing Plans: probably NYE. I really think I'm out this cycle though.

R/R/CS: Nothing today.

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? I don't normally do these. But if I had to have one it would probably be to loose a little more weight to prep for pregnancy.

mali0902 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 28/10

Timing: eod

Testing Plans: I've been testing. BFN this morning, but I swear I am willing a line to be there. At the right angle, I can convince myself I see the squintiest of all squinters. Does anyone else sit in the bathroom with their camera flashlight on the test, inspecting it at every possible angle? I refuse to believe I'm the only one!

R/R/CS: I have a regular obgyn appointment today at 1. I'm hoping she has some magical power to tell if I'm KTFU or not by looking at my cervix. At any rate, I suppose I could get a blood test if I wanted to. But with a bfn on a wondfo this morning, should I even bother? Or since I'm there....I don't know. What would you ladies do?

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? All the things (I never follow through, so why tf not!)

LittleMissTimeLord · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 27/14

Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0

Testing Plans: BFN today. Stupid HPT with its stupid whiteness.

R/R/CS: With this morning's depressing news I'm now officially on AF watch. She should be here Wednesday. It's my first weekday of vacation and I'm just disgruntled.

On the bright side, now I don't have to cancel my January tattoo appointment.

GTKY: I don't usually make resolutions but my resolution this year is to do something creative (draw, write, color, etc.) every day in 2016. It's a hefty goal but something I know will help me be happier and feel more fulfilled. I have a very technical job and I enjoy it but I'm not spending enough time doing artsy things with my hands. I miss that a lot.

Lecool · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 26/14 (According to FF. Might be 26/12)

Timing: -1, 1

Testing Plans: Wednesday if no AF

R/R/CS: I was confused about my high temps yesterday, and today I got a HUGE temp spike. But I'm blaming that on not having very good sleep last night. I was tossing and turning all night and up every few hours. I was feeling super tired and crampy yesterday and today, so expecting a swift temp drop and AF in the next few days.

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution? My resolution this year is to spend more time with friends and family. Things have been so busy in the last year that I haven't really had time to spend as much quality time with loved ones as I'd like. I lost my Grandma a few months ago, and it really made me wish I had spent more time with her lately. So I'm going to try and make more time for others.

Worse. I take it outside to inspect it in the sunlight. I photograph them. I take them apart. I do everything other than take a red sharpie and draw that mother effing line on myself.

shaami1986 · December 2015

@iceandsnowflakes29 I can't stand those new "improved" tests! The window is curved so there is always a glare and I think that the strip inside is curved too because there is always a wet mark looking line where it presses against the window. I don't know if this has happened to you too, but it also sucks because the dye always seems to sit on the test line for a while just to mess with your emotions.

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD/DPO: 15/3

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

Testing Plans: Trying my best to hold out until January 9, which will be the day after AF is due and 15 DPO, so here's hoping I can suppress my impatient, controlling spirit and either start a new cycle or test if I don't

R/R/CS: So happy that I stuck with temping this month! I feel much better that the temp confirmed O, so I know we definitely had our timing within my window. I was just a little annoyed because FF changed my crosshairs this morning to CD12 from CD11, so I thought I had O day and the day after but now it is just the day before and O day. Hopefully that doesn't screw up my chances too drastically!

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? I would really like to cut down on my daily spending for little things that just aren't necessary or that I could bring from home, like bottles of water or snacks etc. Individually, they don't cost much, but they add up over the month and I feel like an idiot for spending on things that I have but was too lazy to bring with me haha

LizaKate1213 · December 2015

@shaami1986, the day before and day of is better than the day after! You want the sperm waiting for the egg, not the other way around. The day after is typically too late as the egg is only viable for 12-ish hours.

You seriously just made my day! I really need to stop reading so much because I get myself jumbled. I was mixing the stats for positive OPKs (that O can happen between 12 and 48 hours after getting one) but with temping I actually know when it happened so I don't have to cover all that time like with the OPKs haha No wonder everyone loves the BBT!

babymish · December 2015

****TW possible BFP***

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 22/8

Timing: -2,-1

Testing Plans: I tested this morning with a wondfo & a FRER and instantly got annoyed with myself for wasting a FRER at 8DPO.
The wondfo was BFN but the FRER showed the squintiest of skinty second lines.
I took a photo straight away (don't judge me) because SO was sleeping (it was 5am). It's visible...just... On the photo.
But it's so faint and still so early I'm incredibly nervous that it's too good to be true. I'm on route for more tests now and will try again tonight & tomorrow morning.

R/R/CS: pretty much covered it above

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution??
To save as much money as possible

Blonde1817 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 24/12

Timing: -5,-3,-2,-1 OR -4,-1,+1

Testing Plans: Tomorrow

R/R/CS: Temp went back up today after yesterday's major drop but I'm trying not to read anything into it because I had a TERRIBLE nights sleep last night. Really I don't trust the night before either because I also slept poorly and temped an hour early. I am ready to be home and back to my routine! I really struggle with sleep so maintaining a consistent schedule and having a good sleep environment is super important. I feel so in the dark right now, I don't know what my temp is doing, I'm not even sure about my O date and I can't test yet. Ugh.

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? I think I want to try more non-technology related hobbies to fill my time. Some ideas are more yoga/exercise classes, reading, adult coloring books, meditation, crafts, learn to knit, cook more, journaling. Sometimes I'm so tired when I get home I feel like all I do is play on my phone and half watch a TV show I've already seen in the background. I need to be more intentional about doing other things. I'd love some hobby suggestions!

ETA: FX @babymish!!!

Ahh! @babymish! Keep us posted! I'm going to be stalking TWW for an update!

NordyMN89 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 12/8

CD/DPO: 26/6

Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0

Testing Plans: Depends on when I test out the trigger shot, still had a faint positive yesterday...I'll probably do my best to hold out until Jan 3.

R/R/CS: Work. I took off 4 days last week, getting up and having to work today kinda sucks.

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? I don't normally do them. However, this year I would like to take more time for myself whether it be taking a cooking class, doing yoga, meditating, etc. I just need to focus on me and take care of myself.

Every month I give myself the pep talk, that I am a smart woman with my shit together, so I need to not act crazy....but then I get a BFN and then another and I lose my damn mind! I hold them up to lights, take them outside, squint and stare at every angle as if a bright pink line is going to pop up if I just turn it a little to the left. Then the test line gets burned into my retina and I actually do think I see one...I know, I know....I am shame faced.

mali0902 · December 2015

@iceandsnowflakes29 YES! Haha I photograph them too! You're reassuring my sanity

FX @babymish!!! Be wary with those frers. The curved handles are notorious for showing a second line. I learned that the hard way 3 times

if you can find some, get the straight handled ones. I scored some at target this month.

@babymish Excited for you!!! FX!!!

LakeR2014 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 23/5

Timing: -4,-3, 1(x2)

Testing Plans: Was going to be NYE but realized that's still waaaay too early, so will try and wait it out until at least the weekend. That being said FF recommends Jan 11th.   Are you serious FF!?!? Who has that willpower?

R/R/CS:    Still ecstatic about the dotted CH I got yesterday.   So of course now I've started googling 'What's the chances of pregnancy at -3, -4 to ovulation?"   Also had some serious EW today...so googling that too (although it's not unusual for me to get EW 2-3 times a month).    I'm basically using google way more than is healthy for one person today.

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution??    I got a Fitbit for Christmas. My resolution is to set it up with some attainable goals and meet those goals.

babymish · December 2015

Thanks @mali0902 we don't seem to have the curved handle ones in the uk, we're usually a little behind the new models here's which is lucky this time. I have the good old straight handled ones, and also just bought two clear blue digital

This.

I had one look so convincing that I got a blood test thinking I was actually pregnant and my HCG was zero. Afterwards, I sent a pic to my friend with vision so bad she went to blind camp as a child and even she could see it.

I hope yours is the real deal. FX!

Edit to add I sent an irate email to the company and received a refund. Lol

SongbirdintheCity · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 23/9

Timing: -1 and +1

Testing Plans: NYE

R/R/CS: Pretty big temp drop this morning..... I know better not to think anything of it...but of course there was a small voice in my head going, "Hmmm....temp drop on 9DPO, usually it happens at 8DPO....so maybe this time it's gonna be different?" UGH. So annoying. In better news though, I bought a last minute ticket to head down to Miami for a few days before New Years to hang out with my BFF. I have this whole week off and DH is working, so I'm excited to get some sun and hopefully keep busy enough to keep my mind off the crazy of the rest of the TWW! Only problem now is that I'll be in Miami the morning of NYE, when I had planned to test. I think I'll still test while I'm there just cuz I won't be able to wait (and want to know the deal before the night's festivities)....but it may be a little weird!

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? I don't plan on having one this year, but I have recently started a new diet and exercise plan and intend to keep that going through next year.

FX @babymish !

Edited to insert GTKY that was strangely deleted.

Umbr+ella · December 2015

FX for you @babymish!!

@LittleMissTimeLord Boo for the BFN, but yay for the new tattoo!! Also I think your resolution is great.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 25/9

Timing: -1

Testing Plans: Was going to wait for AF, but we are going to be partying in Dallas for NYE so will test 12/31 at 12dpo

R/R/CS: It went from mid 70's yesterday morning to mid 30's last night and I was freezing all night. Of course now I'm convinced that my temp should actually be higher than it is. Shit like this is what happens when you barely have any symptoms to spot.

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? I don't usually make resolutions since I'm awful at keeping them, but there are a lot of things I would like to work on with myself this year. Mainly, working on managing my anxiety and the lack of social interaction that it creates.

babymish · December 2015

Oh Jeeze @iceandsnowflakes29 that's terrible. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much. I've used an embarrassingly high volume of this type of FRER and got diddly squat so if this is a false line I'll be irate too.

virginiaham · December 2015

FX for you @babymish!

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 48/9 (FF says 6)

Timing: good

Testing Plans: NYE & Jan 8th (before my CD59 appointment)

R/R/CS: I went from gross swinging anovulatory temps to possibly triphasic this cycle? My temp in previous cycles had plummeted to just above CL by now. My normal running hot temps put my temp spike above 99F and it just feels gross. I feel great otherwise and I'm trying not to get excited, buuuut please stay up there. And also the thing about the special snowflake (me). ("The thing about world peace"...love Steve Martin.)

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? I had a great conversation with an amazing ER nurse yesterday, and mine will center around professional development (as much as I hate that term).

Eta CD 48, not 28.

MissAmeliaPond · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 27/11

Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1, O

Testing Plans: well, I guess I will test if AF doesn't show on Wednesday

R/R/CS: I woke up when DH's alarm went off this morning at 3:30 (it is uncommon for me to wake up to his alarm), and I didn't temp at that time, but it took me probably an hour to get back to sleep! I'm so mad I didn't temp when I woke up at 3:30 because I think my temp at 6:20 was artificially high because of how long I was awake. *pouts*

PS. I am having a HORRIBLE time waiting in this TWW. I am not good at waiting.

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? I don't do those.

iceandsnowflakes29 · December 2015

@babymish I have never had an issue with the flat ones.

picklesplease · December 2015

@babymish - FX for you!

@LittleMissTimeLord - Sorry about the BFN, but congrats on the tattoo. What are you planning on getting?

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 28/???

Timing: BD ED during FF's projected FW. Not sure when I Oed because I broke my thermometer.

Testing Plans: Probably tomorrow or Wednesday...whenever the ILs leave to head back to KC.

R/R/CS: Same old, same old. Just trying to avoid testing and ss. I have myself convinced that this one will be the month, but I'm also trying to be rational about the fact that I have no idea when I've Oed, so I don't even know if our timing was right this month. Ugh...I'm waiting for the new thermometer to arrive in the mail...

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution??

I've decided not to do a New Year's resolution. I always start out so gung-ho and end up getting distracted.

simcal18 · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 25/12

Timing: N/A (benched pending post-MC medical clearance)

Testing Plans: N/A

R/R/CS: Meh. I'm mad at myself for not temping this cycle even though I'm technically benched. Between some bad ovulation pain and a positive OPK a couple of weeks ago, FF and my OB seem to think I ovulated, but I had a little EW-like CM last week that's now messing with my head and making me wonder whether I really ovulated. AF does not feel close to showing up and I know first cycles post-MC can often be a little wonky, so I wish I had temps to give me a little more insight about what's going on. I have my follow-up appointment with my OB today so maybe she'll be able to give me a little bit of insight.

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? Not really a New Years resolution because I don't really do those, but I'm getting back to my health and fitness plan as soon as the holidays are over.

MonaLisaRalphio · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 16/3 according to FF but I think it's actually 2. If I add another high temp for tomorrow, it moves my CH to CD15.

Timing: Either +1 and +2 or O and +1.

Testing Plans: Meh.

R/R/CS: If I really did O on CD13, our timing was weak. That's fine with me because it would be super not ideal for me to get KU this month. I'm trying to leave my school for a new job at the end of this school year, and it would be like. Rull inconvenient for me to start out at a new school with a maternity leave right out of the gate. But also, babies. So.

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? I worked out at least 4 days per week (and usually more like 5) every single week in 2015. I want to continue to do that in 2016, except when we're in Italy, when I will be too busy eating my weight in pasta to exercise.

PeggyOlsonFTW · December 2015

Month/Cycle: 3/2 (after 1st loss) 1/1 (after second loss)

CD/DPO: 28/5

Timing: -5, -1

Testing Plans: when AF is late

R/R/CS: Just got back from my appointment to discuss my latest loss. I'm a little underwhelmed. My OB said that this last one was considered chemical and because we have a living child and keep getting pregnant, we're definitely fertile. She just thinks it's bad luck. I got paperwork to do blood work for chromosomal abnormalities and clotting disorders, but I don't think a chromosomal problem is it, since we already have one healthy baby. If we have a third loss, they'll do more extensive testing, but nothing til then. And if I do get pregnant again, there's no extra visits or special treatment, so I guess I'm not considered high risk. But, good god do medical terms suck. My blood work orders say "habitual aborter". Yikes.

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution?? Drink less (not that I drink a ton, but I don't need a glass or two of wine every night), get healthy eating and snacking back on track and spend less time on the computer.

MissAmeliaPond · December 2015

@mali0902 I don't think a blood test is necessary unless you've passed a normal length for LP (16+ days) and are still getting negative HPTs.

@babymish FX for your additional testing!

@FerdieFox I have pretty much no symptoms to spot too... I keep patting down my boobs to see if they're tender... nope not really lol.

@lecool FWIW, I think FF might have your CHs wrong. CD14 looks like O day to me.

sarah0985 · December 2015

@babymish fx'ed!!! Please keep us posted!!!!

Month/Cycle: 8/7

CD/DPO: 33/13 or 11

Timing: 0 or -2

Testing Plans: tested yesterday evening and bfn. Huge temp drop this morning but still no period. If she doesn't show today I'll test tomorrow with fmu

R/R/CS: see above. Slight spotting still and slight cramping today. Just waiting. I feel like if I was ku, yesterdays test would have shown it even though it wasn't fmu. Just bracing myself for cycle 8 and month 9 to start.

Never imagined we'd still be here. My insurance covers some testing regardless of how long we've been trying. (Pro to living in a culture where babies immediately is the norm) My insurance resets January 1 so going to make some appointments when I get my new card just for peace of mind. I've had some small health issues that I don't think could effect it but would rather reassure ourselves.

GTKY: What is your New Year's resolution??
Undecided yet. I will continue with my fitness and health goals but that's not really new for me. I've been reliably doing those things for 2+ years.
I would like to set an attainable goal for reading. At least one new book a month? I love reading and totally get into books hardcore when I read them but don't read as often as I'd like.

Eta: THERE SHE IS! I'm definitely out now.

R/R/CS: I have tons of AF symptoms, and my LP is usually 10-11 days so I'm assuming it'll happen tomorrow.
GtKY: Trying to save more money

simcal18 · December 2015

@KDHB13 - I'm sorry that your appointment was underwhelming. Fingers crossed that it was just bad luck, that you get a BFP soon, and that it results in a healthy baby. I hate the medical terminology that gets put on paperwork too! The bloodwork for my MC was labeled "threatened abortion" -- you would think they would have better terms for these things.

LittleMissTimeLord · December 2015

This is not even remotely TTC but I would like to complain for a second. Our water is shut off today and I have to poo. TMI AND YOU'RE WELCOME. I'm debating going out for lunch just so I can use a public bathroom...

The struggle is real, you guise.

@Anastasia646 and @BerkeBaby - I'm in the middle of a sleeve right now. I probably have about 10-15 hours left and the next sitting will be about 6. I know that my body also goes through a lot of stress during the long sittings, which I'm sure is not conducive to incubating a tiny human.

Edited because redundant.
