GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish?

Megzb510 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/4

CD/DPO: 29/10

Timing: -5,-2,0

Testing Plans: BFN today.

R/R/CS: (Edited to add comments here cuz I have a trigger thumb) I've been super worn out all week since I was sick Monday. I finally forced myself to the gym last night and it was more exhausting than it should have been. DS has a borderline croup-ish cough. I'm just feeling like I'm out for this month.

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish? My favorite restaurant is this place called Papa Del's in Champaign, IL. The deep dish pizza there is to die for. I also love the chicken and gnocchi soup from Olive Garden.

Tippy05 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 4 (2 ttcal)

CD/DPO: 26/10 (*I think)

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

Testing Plans: tomorrow

R/R/CS: nothing particularly 'rant-worthy' today. We had our basement started last night and I'm impressed so far with what it looks like. It'll be nice to have a fully liveable house once this is all done. They're saying they should be done by Wednesday, which would be amazing!

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish? We don't go out to eat often, but my new favorite is Bonefish Grill. I like the Salmon.

Xstatic3333 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 20/5

R/R/CS: None today. Just waiting.

Testing plans: Tuesday for drinking purposes, then at missed period

GTKY: Our favorite restaurant was East Coast Grill in Cambridge, MA, but it's closing next week! We have reservations for Tuesday, hence the 9 DPO test. It's a really special restaurant for us, so we may actually cry a little, weird as that sounds. With that gone, my new favorites are North and Chez Pascal, both in Peovidence, RI. We love going out to eat, but don't do it a ton since we also love to cook. When we do, we tend to go pretty big.

ETA: My favorite dish at East Coast Grill is spicy tuna tacos.

**lurker from bench here** I love Papa Del's! Brings back so many great college memories.

R/r/CS: temp remained high but flat again today. This is officially my longest cycle since last July..mine are typically 26 days.

GTKY: my favorite restaurant is this small cafe by me that makes homemade comfort food. It's delicious I get their turkey dinner all the time. My favorite chain restaurant is prob TGIF's! I love their wings.

[Deleted User] · January 2016

@Megzb510 Sorry about the BFN :P
@Tippy05 Yum! I love salmon, too!
@Xstatic333 Spicy tuna tacos sound great! My bro went to school in Cambridge; I love it there. :)

CD/DPO: 24/8

Timing: -2, -1, 1

Testing Plans: next Friday

R/R/CS: It's Friday, whoo-hoo! And it's going to be 3 day weekend, FTW!

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish?

I love Hispanic food. One of my favorite restaurants is Noches de Colombia (Nights of Colombia). They serve great portions and it's affordable.

ejmo68 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 18/6

Timing: 0, +1

Testing Plans: 10 dpo

R/R/CS: just so pumped it is Friday and that I'll be testing in a few days. I am finally getting over this sinus junk so that is awesome too!

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish?
Well my favorite restaurant of all time closed down a few years ago and I haven't found a replacement yet but my favorite dish was trout ravioli and their lobster bisque! Oh how I miss that place

Kay6519 · January 2016

@Megzb510 I'm sorry you and your family aren't feeling very well. I hope you get to feeling better soon! You're not out til you're out.

@Tippy05 Yay for finishing the basement! It's so exciting to see everything come together with a house.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 20/6

Timing: Perfect!

Testing Plans: Shooting for 12 DPO or AF to be late

R/R/CS: Today work is supposed to announce who got the promotion to our training division. I think my interview went well, and I would love this new position! Hoping I get the job!

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish?

I love the Texas Pie Company. It's a tiny little diner in a small town that has amazing food! Plus their home-made from scratch pies are to die for!

br0co1ii · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 22/5

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

Testing Plans: waiting for next weekend.

R/R/CS: it's Friday!!!!! And I think I came to a compromise with my bbt. I take 2 temps right in a row and record the non-favored one.

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish?
Oh geez... we go to Applebee's a lot. It's not my favorite though. I'm not sure what is. It's just easy. I have been getting the cedar smoked chicken dish.
I used to like an Indian food restaurant back before I moved, but haven't found a new favorite yet here.

pretzel2plus1 · January 2016

@megzb510 sorry you've been sick! I hope you and DS feel better soon!

@kay6519 Good luck at work today! FX you get the promotion!

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 41/11

Timing: -1, O

Testing Plans: BFN this morning.

R/R/CS: TGIF!! Now if I could just get rid of this headache...

GTKY: There's a little pizza place near where we live that bakes everything in an authentic brick oven. It's the best! And they have a pizza bar where you can sit to eat and watch them make the pizzas.

murray1030 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 18/1

Timing: -5, -2, -1, +1 maybe...

Testing Plans: meh...

R/R/CS: I'm bummed at my timing. We were doing great with the EOD but then I got off track and my dates look pathetic. Plus I missed O day d/t some inability problems. I know it's way too early to care but I'm not hopeful this month.

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish?
Primanti Brothers roast beef and egg sandwich with hot sauce. It's the best thing in my life sometimes!

SLou24 · January 2016

@pretzel2plus1 ah, I love brick oven pizza!! Serious weakness of mine.

@Xstatic3333 Boston area here but haven't been to East Coast Grill!! Spicy tuna tacos sound delicious.. I'm thinking I'm missing out!!

@Megzb510 yikes sorry you aren't feeling well!!

All this talk of food is making me hungry even though I just ate breakfast

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 22/6 or 7

Timing: ok/good for either O day

Testing Plans: holding strong! Not til AF is late.

R/R/CS: there's a woman next to me on the train who won't stop clearing her throat. I think it's making my ears bleed. I forgot who commiserated with me on this before but the misophonia is full force this morning.

GYKY: AH! DH and I pretty much make a job out of trying new amazing restaurants, so it's impossible to pick a favorite! Here in Boston, we go to this place Lineage a lot for their dollar oysters and Amazing gourmet burgers. One of the best meals I've ever had though was a tasting menu at a place called Stones Throw in San Francisco.

rkstro2 · January 2016

@murray1030 primanti? Are you from Pittsburgh area? We used to live there!

@Marley629 sorry about the longer than usual cycle. That stinks.

Month/cycle: 7's

CD: 25/8

Testing plans: none

Timing: -5/4/3/2/O

R/R/CS: I didn't temp again this morning bc of tossing and turning. I worried the whole first half of the cycle about temping, then I relaxed once confirmed O til DPO 5 or 6 and now it's like I'm all anxious again.

GTKY: Ruth's Chris. Of course I love the steak there (all are good but ribeye is my fave) and their sweet potato casserole is to die for!

superscarf · January 2016

Sending all my positive vibes to @Megzb510 @Marley629 @BusinessWife this morning.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 27/12 (or maybe 27/14)

Timing: -4,-1 (or maybe -5,-2+1)

Testing Plans: now thinking 1/17

R/R/CS: The reason I'm thinking 1/17 now (instead of goal 1/16) is because I'm meeting a friend on 1/16, and I'm the world's worst liar. If I get a BFP (eternal optimist here), I don't really want to start telling friends so darn early. With DD no one knew until 12wks, not even immediate family. Other than that, started to feel some congestion yesterday. I think whatever DH and DD have has finally gotten to me. Hoping it goes away fast because I'm really looking forward to having 4 days off starting today!

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish? Place called Kerbey Lane in Austin. Love their Kerbey queso and California enchiladas.

Megzb510 · January 2016

@cjt121413 did you go to UIUC too?

@pretzel2plus1 & @BusinessWife - sorry about your BFNs

@Kay6519 - good luck for your promotion!

mamadomino · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 5

CD/DPO: 25/7

Timing: -4, -1 (still mad about this)

Testing Plans: it's possible that I tested this morning. I can neither confirm nor deny. But hopefully now Monday at 10 DPO. Although I have a job interview that day, so I don't know.

R/R/CS: I'm off work until Tuesday and I really only have one day in the office next week. Amaze balls. And I have an interview for a job I really want on Monday!

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish? Oooh that's a tough one. There used to be this amazing little place in Chicago called Bistro 110 and they had the best bread and roasted garlic. Now I don't even know. We go out to dinner very rarely.

murray1030 · January 2016

@rkstro2 I live in ohio right at the border. I go there whenever I can! But.. With lots of prayers, they finally opened one in Ohio by where I work. It was pretty much the best moment in my life! Did you like their sandwiches? There's really no comparison

anj27 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 24/5

Timing: Fine

Testing Plans: Maybe DPO 13 or 14

R/R/CS: FF finally gave me CHs for CD19 and I am just so excited to be here after ovulating on CD32 and CD25 the two previous cycles.

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish? A young couple from Italy moved to our city about 5 years ago and opened a restaurant and it has been my absolute favorite ever since. I always get the spaghetti aglio e olio, which is so simple but so good with their freshly made spaghetti. And their tiramisu! If we weren't going out of town this weekend, I would be making a reservation right now.

csiigusz · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 24/10

Timing: -5 (2x), -3,-2,-1

Testing Plans: Only if AF is late

R/R/CS: Maybe TMI but this morning there was some brownish CM on the toilet paper so I think I'm out. I usually start having this few days before AF. Also I have the worst break out on my chin. I feel like I'm 15 again!! At least it's Friday!

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish?
I can't choose a favorite.

jhems776 · January 2016

*******************************TW BFP!!********************************************
Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 25/11

Timing: -4, -2, 0

Testing Plans: First test today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R/R/CS: Ahhhh! I still cannot really believe it. At 4:30 I got up to use the restroom and decided to pee in a cup and save it. At 6:30 as DH starting getting ready I got up and decided to test with a cheapie and at first glance I was like boo, but then as I was looking at it I saw a squinter in which I assumed the indent line. I then broke out the FRER and there it was a faint line, more than a squinter though. At this point I called H in and said this brand can be bad for indent lines, he stayed very stoic and said well let’s not get our hopes up yet. I then tested with a different brand cheapie and another squinter/faint line. As this point I got dressed and left to go buy a digital and had to go to three places to find one! I got back dipped it and when the timer went off H walks in front of me and makes his hmm/intrigued face with a hint of a smirk, it said +yes!!! We just hugged for like 2 minutes straight. I am crazy because then I was scared it was the cup so I used the restroom again and tested again. So that makes 4 different brands and 6 tests…. I have low dull cramp on my left side but no other symptoms just the lack of all my other AF symptoms.

Cycles 3-5 I spotted the majority of my LP so I changed some habits. I have been doing a medium/low carb diet for two months, real diet last few weeks (lost 5lbs), and for two months limiting alcohol and only two in a day when I do(this was broken a few times though). Sorry this is so long, after 7 months I was pretty pessimistic.

Thank you sooo much to everyone on this board for seven months you have kept me sane and educated! Remember impatience =/= infertility.

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish? I don't have any fav restaurants. I miss Skyline and La'Rosa's. I love to order steak or salmon.

anj27 · January 2016

@jhems776 Congratulations!! Reading your post made me go "aww"!

mamadomino · January 2016

Congrats @jhems776!! Happy and healthy 9 months to you!

MRSCORKER · January 2016

@Tippy05 I worked at BFG for about 5 years. I met DH while I was bartending

The food is super good but I'm a little bonefished out now. lol

@jhems776 Congrats! H& H 9!!!

Month/Cycle: 5/4 (1 NTNP, 2 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 27/11

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

Testing Plans: Stark white BFN this morning on a curved handle FRER and a wal-mart cheapie. I won't be testing again unless AF doesn't show on Monday.

R/R/CS: So I guess I really was a victim of the faulty FRER yesterday. It was the straight handle kind too so I thought I would be safe. Not so much. It's so clearly there, isn't an indent and showed up within 3 minutes so it's not an evap either. Just your standard false positive I guess. I'm handling it better than I thought I would. I know I'm not out until AF but I'm feeling pretty out. My temps have been steadily declining since about 8 DPO which they've never done before. I usually don't see a decline until CD 1 so that's new.

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish?
I don't know how to answer this... I do love a place called Tapas Teatro. They have pretty killer pea fritters and fried manchego. I guess it depends on what I'm in the mood for!

rkstro2 · January 2016

@jhems776 hooray! Congrats and H&H 9 months! So glad it's still possible in cycle 7

P.S. I am cincy/nky born and raised so I miss skyline and larosa's too! We hit those up any chance we get!

@murray1030 yes I liked the sandwiches

. Lol people in the greater Pittsburgh area love the fries on their food instead of on the side. I always thought it was especially funny when they put fries on a salad.

Timing: -2

Testing Plans: 11 DPO

R/R/CS: So happy to be able to post on this board! This is my first month charting so it was completely awesome to see my first set of CH this morning after I input my temp!! The past 4 months I was not keeping a chart so I have no idea if O happened. It is at least a reassuring to know that O did happen though! Timing could of been better but I was not sure when O would happen in my cycle since I never chart before. Below is my chart, and CS welcome!

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish?
A little cozy steak house by us called Strip Steak, it is amazing and a very small restaurant so you get a nice comfortable feel. My favorite dish is the Steak and Cake, it is a filet mignon and crab cake dinner, so good!

LGW2015 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 14/12

CD/DPO: 36/9

Timing: -5, -2, +1

Testing: not sure yet, maybe 1/17 at earliest

My chart looks triphasic at the moment so I'm feeling somewhat positive but don't want to get my hopes up. Starting clomid next cycle if no BFP this time.

GTKY: local pizzeria near us, delicious!

DumbledoresArmy · January 2016

Congrats @jhems776 ! Thanks for your sharing your story, I liked reading it

LOL @mamadomino , your "confession" almost made me spit out my coffee.

@rkstro2 OMG, Ruth's Chris is drool worthy. Best steaks ever. Ribeye FTW.

@murray1030 Your dates look better than mine! Don't feel bad. It's hard to keep that going.

@kay6519 FX for your promotion!

Month/Cycle: 10/5

CD/DPO: 25/6

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing Plans: No plans

R/R/CS: This is the first month I've started thinking about my nursery plans... *dreams of Star Wars themed nursery* STOP, STOP!!!! Somebody smack me and shut down Pinterest.

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish? Texas De Brazil. All you can eat steak? Yes, please.

Kay6519 · January 2016

@jhems776 Congratulations! H&H9 to you and your SO!

feelinchubby824 · January 2016

@jhems776 Congrats!!! H&H 9 months!!!!

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 38/5

Timing: -1

Testing Plans: Maybe when AF should arrive (HA who am I kidding!?)

R/R/CS: Well this is my second time posting here this cycle (sorry about that, had a fluke O lol) I'm glad my temps have stayed up for 5 days! I'm very very happy I temped this cycle as it has been my first one over 28 days, so I would have assumed I was like 10 days late at this point!

I had a really rough year, I know my timing was pretty lame but I could really use some good news this cycle

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish?
This little family-owned greek place in my hometown, I recreate my favorite dish there pretty well now. I live about 6 hours away now but every time I visit family I go to there.

m6agua · January 2016

Congrats @jhems776

Month/Cycle: 5/5 (2 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 17/4

Timing: -4, -1, 0, +1

Testing Plans: not until missed AF, unless I get odd symptoms (like with my last one)

R/R/CS: nothing today

GTKY: I really like this little diner in my college town. Great burgers and fries. Locally a place called Krolls. It's sort of a diner/super club vibe. They have great Friday fish fry and chili and cheese curds. For chains I like red lobster, Olive Garden, and red robin depending on my mood.

lilylover27 · January 2016

@Megzb510I love that soup from Olive Garden too! It is like the only thing I get there!

@tippy05 we just got a Bonefish Grill by us back in the summer! My favorite is their tuna bowl!!

@Kay6519 good luck to you with the job! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@jhems776 Congrats on the BFP! Happy and healthy 9 months to you!

@mrscorker Just want to let you know I love your GIF! Gilmore Girls is my all time favorite and I love all their bits about coffee! If only I knew how to do GIFs on here I am sure my signature would have a ton!

g8rmama_16 · January 2016

Congrats @jhems776! How exciting!
Sorry about the BFN @MRSCORKER, I was hoping to see your BFP today!

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 19/5

Timing: all the days

Testing Plans: after missed AF if I have that kind of self control.

R/R/CS: trying to stay warm in this freezing cold house in California. Heating pad on my ice cold feet...
But today and Monday are days off, so I am starting my long weekend now! We may scrap our trip to Death Valley because I just don't want to be cold for three days! We will see. Hopefully we can still do some hiking locally.

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish?
It isn't fancy, but my go to favorite meal back home is the fries with ranch from a local burger place called Cruisers. I could eat it every day! They do something magical to those fries. And the ranch is made there and I am pretty sure they put crack in it. When I was living overseas, my sister actually brought some to me when she came to visit and it is usually the first place we eat when I come home after being away for a while. Man, my mouth is watering.

korycir · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1 NTNP

CD/DPO: 29/9

Timing: -5, 0

Testing Plans: negative today. I knew it was too early AF isn't due until the 20th but see next section.

R/R/CS: DH keeps asking my DD if she wants a sibling and keeps telling me that I'm probably KU lol. So I had a dream last night that I got a BFP. Wishful thinking at this point haha tested negative this morning. Ugh.

GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish? If anyone is from MI. El Charritos Helena's original restaurante has the best wet beef burritos. Bern going to her restaurants since I was young. My fav!! Yum...
