Timing: eod + the day I got a positive opk
Testing Plans: bfn yesterday morning. Will wait until Sunday or Monday before testing again if af isn't here yet.
R/R/CS: my last three cycles have been in btwn 26-28 days long so I'm getting anxious!!
GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish? Hubs and I like trying new places, so we don't do a lot of repeats. Especially bc we move around a lot. We live to go check out places that have been featured on TV or in mags. I love Seafood... Any place with a killer Oyster bar/selection and big lobster is my fave. Also, we are keen on patio dining with a view.

@MRSCORKER sorry about the BFN still keeping up hope for you!
@bestnameever yay for Boston ladies!! Also, sorry to hear about that relative of yours-- stories like that are so hard to stomach sometimes..
@simcal18 sorry for CD1 but it sounds like your relieved this time around! You should go get a burger and a beer at the bar at Lineage for this occasion
Month/cycle: 2/2 (after break) Cd/DPO: 17/4 Timing: -3, -2, -1 Testing: hopefully waiting till 12 DPO since I have an 11 day LP.
R/r/CS: DH has a history of thyroid issues that he's been in denial about and hasn't been taking care of. Today he went to the doctor and they did his annual wellness check. It'll take a few days before the results come in. I have no way of knowing because we haven't seen an RE yet, but I really feel like this was effecting our fertility. But I'm proud of him for not continuing to put it off and finally taking care of it.
GTKY: I'm about to sound so southern, but there's a restaurant in my town called Merci Beaucoup and they make a "Cajun potato" which is a baked potato with crawfish etouffee on top and it is the best thing ever.

Thanks for all the well wishes! I'm cautiously happy now, just had the smallest amount of spotting. As much as I love this board hope I'm not back anytime soon.
@simcal18 we Traded Cycles!!! I usually have like a four day lead up to af, but Nothing this cycle!! (and bfn test). Anyway, sorry about cd1!!
@CajunSnowWhite89 thyroid issues are no joke!!! Glad he is taking care of it! Make sure he's getting t3 and t4 and antobodies tested in addition to the tsh!! GL!
also... this just happened... We are currently staying in a little mountain village, and the closest supermarket keeps pregnancy tests behind the counter bc I guess people steal them? So after asking someone where they were and being led to this customer service counter, the man proceeded to ask me which one I wanted... So I pointed and told him. And then he said as he handed it too me.. I kid you not "do you WANT to be?!" ... Wtf is WRONG with people?!

@gardeniagirlknits you can have the long ramp-up back! :-) FX that the reason you haven't gotten any is that you have a BFP coming still, and if not I hope AF comes soon so that you can move on to next month.
Also WTF is wrong with that guy is right!!!! Seriously???? Who thinks that's okay? "Sure, random stranger. I would love to talk to you about my sex life and what I hope is going on with my uterus." I mean, I guess that's kind of what we do here. But that's different.

Lol!!!! And like..... If it had been some Little old Lady or older mom type, the truth is that I probably would have over shared with her and felt fine about it. But this was a MAN!!???? Like early 60's and wearing an Indiana Jones style hat while on the job. Alright creeper!!!!?
But but but... I don't want the long ramp up back?! Lol. fx your next cycle is "normal"!! Eta @simcal18

@murray1030 and @pambtoro Pitt girl here! Primanti's is definitely one of our treasures.
@bcooke314 I would want to know. After my miscarriage I was told they would test after two losses since I don't have a child. Although I really never want to go through that again. I would want all the information I can.
Month/Cycle: 4/4 (9/10)
CD/DPO: 25/13

****tw* previous bfp mentioned*** R/R/CS: Temps are up, but I have some spotting, only in the am though, which is weird. I have 16 day lp so I'm really trying to wait since af isn't due till tuesday. With my one bfp, I tested everyday with bfn until 16 dpo. I have this crazy idea I'll jinx it if I test early.
GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish? DH and I love the grilled cheese place, MELT. It's 2 hours away, but we have been known to drive there for a road trip. It's has amazing buffalo chicken soup and so many grilled cheeses!
And of course as soon as I post in the TWW - CD1 is officially here. So relieved that I don't even care that I had to change undies at work. Good luck to everyone still in and hope to see none of you in WTO!
***Lurking from WTO*** This was me yesterday. I feel your pain. I posted here yesterday and immediately after, AF showed up. It's not fun, but DH and I are ready to get this show on the road! ETA: Sorry about CD1! See you in WTO tomorrow.
@DumbledoresArmy Star Wars.. I love it!! I have always secretly wanted a Dr Who themed nursery. It's classy with just a small amount of quotes and accessories... One can dream right? Lol
R/R/CS: Too stressed to even focus. Had to fire someone today and it was terrible. That left us short staffed for an indefinite amount of time, as the management had me fire her with no replacement waiting. So today has been hell. Also, what the hell with the Zika virus. We have a pretty much non refundable trip to the Virgin Islands in April. If I'm KU by then, and it's still an issue, we will be cancelling of course.
GTKY: What's your favorite restaurant and what's your favorite dish? Local restaurant- bacon wrapped filet.

@MRSCORKER I totally get it. It sucks. I'm not even considering taking a month of for anything else (being a bridesmaid in my best friends wedding, family trips, etc.), but when it comes to the health of the baby, no messing around there. If I'm not KU before April, we will be considering taking that month off too, as the trip would be in the TWW, if my cycle stays as regular as it has been.

*TW re: CPs* @bcooke314 my LP has been a consistent 12 days, but with my CP it ended up being 17 days (because I was/almost/ish KU, it wasn't an actual LP if we want to get technical). Having now had one CP, I decided I would definitely rather know about it if I were to have another *knocks on wood*. I don't think I would wait to have a third before getting more testing done. HOWEVER, that being said, I did not POAS until the day AF was due (13dpo). I had actually had loads of symptoms besides absent AF, so I don't think I will start testing early unless the same symptoms show up again (I'm just going to keep using the day AF is due to test, but not waiting to see if it's late). Like PPs have said, knowledge is power, and I won't be celebrating anything until I get a strong BFP. HTH!
