GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
R/R/CS: I seriously considered not temping for the rest of my tww. I havent had a sleep in since I started temping and I'm sure my body would love me for taking a break. I also like the idea of not analysing every temp as my previous charts have shown they mean diddly squat. But the control freak in me just can't let go and I have a sneaky feeling I would carry on waking up at 5am automically and then just temp anyway.

I LOVED this yesterday. Without trying to sound creepy I really enjoyed the show and tell element of it. I've been talking to some of you ladies every day for 4 months now - that's more than I talk to my 'real world' friends and seeing tiny snippets of your personalities in pictures is so cool!
SO and I aren't married yet but that doesnt meen I dont have a pinterest board full of ideas, my dress inspiration is taken from a bride I saw having her picture taken outside in Islington and it had the most romantic looking off shoulder drapey sleeves. This is the closest example Ive been able to find.
Testing: 1/26 12DPO. It's getting soooo hard to wait
R/R/CS: I was starting to symptom spot.. But I don't have any symptoms so I was looking at what I was supposed to feel.... I'm done. I won't do it, I won't do it.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
I went to a store on a whim and wanted to try some dresses without everyone looking at me and judging. So I took my best friend. I hated them. Then I saw this beautiful dress.. Unlike anything I have ever seen. And I just knew.. Before putting it on. I just knew..
R/R/CS: Last night, I put on some expensive-ass lingerie that I'd been saving for a special occasion. It sure did the trick.
GTKY: I was notttt excited about wedding dress shopping. I wasn't really a fan of the WIC in general. So I just wanted a low-key day. My mom and my sister and I drove up to Georgetown, and we had appointments at J.Crew and BHLDN. We all loved almost every single dress - I even ended up buying one of the J.Crew dresses online just to take it home and compare it against the dress I actually ended up with. But really, there was no contest. When I put on The One, everyone in the BHLDN dressing room audibly gasped.
I have a classic hourglass figure with a very small waist and giant hips and boobs. Finding a bra that worked with the low and open back on my dress was a saga in and of itself. I bought three different basques, one of which I had to order bespoke from the UK, only to have it come in completely incorrectly sized. The one I ended up wearing had to be hand-altered to make the ribcage smaller just a few days before my wedding. Totally worth it, though. I loved my dress, and I felt like a princess all day. It was comfortable, everything stayed put, and, as a disturbing number of my guest pointed out, booty was on point all day.
Testing: FF says 31. So I'll go with that as my goal.
R/R/CS: non-ttc RAVE! My husband and I went to a new Gordon Ramsay restaurant last night. My awesome husband arranged for me to be brought back into the kitchen and I actually got to meet Gordon Ramsay! I've never met anyone famous and I love him (and celebrity chefs in general)
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
I bought a dress initially because it fit well and was only $150. I was at my highest weight at that time. I then lost about 30 pounds and 3 weeks before the wedding bought a new dress. Haha. I loved it. Form fitting, small train, lace and beads all over. We custom added the pink ribbon with a large broach to the bust line.
@LINDSEYRVA 17? What's your chart look like and what's your normal lp?
@babymish I can totally see that dress in a romantic farm/Forrest/country outdoor wedding!
@murray1030 that is gorgeous! I kinda wish j had had some drama on my dress somewhere. I love your skirt drama
Testing: Didn't test today. All BFN up to this point.
R/R/CS: my temp is trending down. I had some AF cramping yesterday. Also had some lightly colored CM. I thought AF would be here this morning but wasn't. But I'm sure it's coming now. Plus side, my LP is getting back to normal and I have another month to drop a few more pounds.
GTKY: I fell in love with my dress when I saw it. It is not the style I thought I wanted though. The first photo is my dad and I. His arm is so straight because he just had rotator cuff surgery and took off his brace to walk me down. Also you will notice the house and boats/docks in the background. We had our wedding at my parents lake house.
Testing: Still debating if I want to test tomorrow so I can have a glass of wine at our nice dinner, or wait until 1/27. Right now I'm leaning towards waiting. Even though I kind of feel out anyways, I'm still kidding myself if I think I won't be super sad from a BFN. I don't want it to ruin my whole weekend. Ignorance is bliss!
R/R/CS: I haven't been temping the past few days, and last night I got it into my head that I would temp this morning *just out of curiosity.* I think it was probably a good thing in the end that I woke up at 4:30 and didn't get back to sleep in time to get a legit temp, so I didn't bother. My temp always stays up until 12DPO anyways, so I'm not sure what I thought I would be getting out of that temp. Just feeling like I was doing something? I have to remind myself that there are reasons I stopped temping, like getting fake implantation dip last TWW. I need to stop finding ways to torture myself!
GTKY: My dress was a fairly simple fitted, sweetheart top strapless lace gown. I really wish I had more picture with it bustled up because I ended up loving how it looked with the bustle. I did the tie underneath kind, whatever that's called! And yes, my bouquet, while incredibly gorgeous, was also huge and extremely heavy!
ETA: This is blonde1817 ... anyone have any idea why my screenname reverted back to knottie? And how to fix it?
Testing: I wanted to wait until AF was late, but I just realized we're going to a friend's party next Saturday night and I should probably test next Saturday morning. It'll be 12dpo. Anyone know if I'd get an accurate result from a CB digi weeks estimator at 12dpo?
R/R/CS: nada. Temp went back up, so I guess the early O wasn't a mistake!
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
It was a Demetrios dress. I loved it online and loved it when I tried it on. It was lightweight (the other dress I almost got was extremely heavy and I thought I'd have trouble moving around in it), flowy, not too trendy and just very "me". I added the rhinestone waist band because I thought the dress needed a little something more and my waist needed some definition. I really want to put this dress on again and just wear it around the house!
DH hates this picture because "his pants are falling down", but I love it. It was one of the last the photographers took.
@sarah0985 That is exactly what I'd like, unfortunately the weather in the UK is too unpredicatable, I may have to go abroad to do it. Well done on the weight loss btw!
Testing: as soon as I get out of bed - drinking plans today and I want a clear conscience.
R/R/CS: nothing major except I'm mad that the clusterf*ck that was yesterday made me miss the GTKY question and the BFPs!! And Idk what the hell my temperature thinks it's doing.
GTKY: My dress (and bridesmaid dresses) were from bhldn. It turned out to be the most comfortable dress ever. I've worn more cumbersome prom and bridesmaid dresses! The pictures aren't the best quality bc I don't have my wedding photos yet (after 2.5 years) - the photographer was my brother in law, and I know he has them ready. We just haven't pushed to see them yet. On mobile, fx they aren't huge.
@sarah0985 I am having a very wonky and possibly annovulatory cycle. Don't worry about it - I've been CSed to death already. I've tried all sorts of tweaks, but my CH don't move. It's possible that I ovulated around CD31, but I kind of doubt it. At this point I'm assuming annovulatory (especially since I've crossed the 40-day mark) and I'm just waiting for AF and keeping my doctor-dialing finger ready in case my cycle goes longer than 60 days. I'm just hanging out here in TWW because I don't really have any place better to be. It feels weird to go over to WTO because I've been over here for almost 3 weeks already.
Thanks for trying to be helpful, but this cycle seems to want to remain a mystery until it's left the building!
this is so fun! I love all the dresses ladies. Beautiful!!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: -4, -2, 0
Testing: I've decided to stick to 10 dpo to test. I was going to this am, but decided that was just silly.
R/R/CS: Ugh, trying so hard not to symptom spot. I had cramping yesterday that felt similar to ovulation pain and then (tmi) I've had a couple instances of lightly spotting since then just when I wipe. Trying to remain neutral - I'm going back and forth between "Efff, its AF" and "omg, like totally that was implantation cramps!" Ugh, this TTC stuff messes with your mind. ETA: Just want to throw it out there that I do realize that IC pain/bleeding can only been identified in hindsight. My mind is just doing all the sillies. edited also to add: thanks for all the condolences yesterday for my grandpa's passing. I really appreciate it.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet. Here was mine!
@LINDSEYRVA I'm sorry you're having a screwy cycl this time around. Fx'ed it gets its act together or exits promptly so you can move on!
Ladies, I'm loving all the dresses! I wasn't on yesterday so didn't get to play but went back and stalked them all! (And also shamelessly decided to play in WTO today)
@peachykeen17 I'm so sorry on the passing of your grandfather. T&p to you and your family.
@PeggyOlsonFTW I love the waistband you added. It really did add "something" to it. Stunning!
TTC1: May 2015

@LINDSEYRVA I feel you on the difficulty finding a bra. I also have big boobs and a tiny ribcage. I just went bra-less with my dress, though, because I didn't want to deal with it lol.
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0
Testing: Whenever my wondfos get here. Stupid postal service...
R/R/CS: I really really want to test because I'm so symptom spotting. Most of it I can chalk up to my cold, but I've been basically non-stop burping since Thursday night and I wouldn't have thought much of it except I remembered someone saying on here a few weeks ago that was a symptom they had before getting their BFP. So now I'm googling like a crazy person..
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
I knew I wanted a tea length dress when I started shopping. I took my mom and two of my sisters the first time and that was a terrible idea because my sisters that I took have completely opposite tastes from me and they hated everything I liked and I hated everything they made me try on. So then I went again with my other sister and my mom and I found my dress (I had found it the first time, but since I didn't get positive feedback I didn't choose it that day.)
ETA: adding a picture with my shoes since I didn't show that yesterday
R/R/CS: Need one more temp to confirm ovulation but this wedding dress game is too fun! Posting in both WTO/TWW today.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet. I went to the store, tried on about 5 dresses, chose this one and bought it off the rack. I'm pretty easy to please!
Testing: Nothing for a while because of our timing
R/R/CS: FF changed my O date from CD 9 to CD 13. I'm feeling a bit better that it happened closer to a "normal" day but now our timing for this cycle blows.
GTKY: I LOVED my dress. I wish I could wear it again! A lot of people thought my dress wouldn't work for a beach wedding but IDGAF. I felt fabulous.
R/R/CS: Temp is still high today! I'm debating waiting another few days to test even though I'm dying because I really really don't want to deal with a squinter.
GTKY: Even though I didn't participate yesterday, I saw everyone's wedding color posts! Loved them all! For my dress, I was flipping through a bridal magazine I bought in the Nashville airport after running a half marathon there (it was the Rock 'N Roll and I highly recommend it if anyone runs) and stumbled upon this picture and absolutely knew it was THE dress for me. I called every single bridal store in the tri-state area and finally found one that could have the dress shipped to their store! I went to a few different stores in the mean time to check out others but this one was just perfect for me
I'm lurking from WTO and loving the dresses. I wanna play again! I had the same bra issue as @bcooke314 and @LINDSEYRVA. Mine had to be altered to accommodate the key hole.
Testing: I might have caved and tested today, but we are 100% snowed in and I don't have a single HPT. Any of you ladies want to send me one by carrier pigeon?
R/R/CS: Most likely AF is going to show up very soon. Last night, my husband randomly decided it would be fun to brainstorm future baby names. It WAS fun...until I realized that it was leading me into dangerous emotional territory to come up with names for a baby who most likely hasn't been conceived yet. I need to be better about not getting ahead of myself.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
We were working with a very small budget for our wedding as we were paying for many parts of it ourselves, and I didn't want to spend more than $200 on my dress. That kind of limited my choices when I went to David's Bridal, but in the end, I found a dress I really love! Plus, I am super clumsy, so too much fabric would be just asking for me to trip while walking down the aisle. David's Bridal had bridesmaid dresses in the same style, so that's what my girls wore, and we matched!
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
I'm mostly mobile and too lazy to dig on the comp for pics. I wore my mother's wedding dress that my Grandmother made. It was my "something old" and had a gorgeous train. I wore her veil too but, I wore it with a different headpiece.
R/R/CS: non-ttc RAVE! My husband and I went to a new Gordon Ramsay restaurant last night. My awesome husband arranged for me to be brought back into the kitchen and I actually got to meet Gordon Ramsay! I've never met anyone famous and I love him (and celebrity chefs in general)
oh my gosh how amazing!! This is a dream of mine!! He is one of my favorites
Testing: 12-14dpo. I'd like to wait as long as possible. I really don't want to see an bfn and then get my hopes up thinking it's just "too early" only to have AF show. It's just too much right now.
R/R/CS: I have a lot of work to do today and I want to throw a tantrum like a 2 year old. Id rather spend the day with DH.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet. Yay I love this! We were on a tight budget but I just wanted something all white and then to add a big jeweled belt!
CD/DPO: 24/7 (hah...funny because 24/7 also means something else. Sorry, I'm tired, I woke up to temp and DH keeps having SBD farts and they are keeping me awake).
Timing: -4, -1, O
Testing:
R/R/CS: Temp dip almost to cover line today. Not sure what that's about.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet. I can't find a good full-length pic of me in it, but this is it. It's Cinderella from the Alfred Angelo Disney line. Can we do cakes next? I loved my cake. Actually, here it is, just for fun. We had a little cake and cupcakes, it was amazing.
R/R/CS: I got CH today, guys! Excuse my excitement as it is my first cycle finally temping and wasn't sure I would get them since I started temping CD 10. It puts O a day later than I would think, but not going to worry because our timing was good either way, so I'll just keep the extra day in mind when waiting for AF.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet. Here's mine!
@Knottie1453423947 cheers to heavy bouquets! Mine was also massive, my arms were starting to shake by the end of pictures!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: -2, yep that's it
Testing: my goal is February 1st if no AF/I can physically wait that long
R/R/CS: I missed out on the wedding colors yesterday because I was in WTO, FF moved me over this morning, yay! This is my first month charting so that excites me more than it should.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
Walgreens won't let me into my mobile account so this is the only one I have on my phone!
R/R/CS: DH is telling me that I can't drink tonight when we go out with friends. I'm only 6 dpo...and his friends have asked twice if I'm pregnant at other times when I didn't drink. Sooooo annoying!
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
TTC since January 2015 3/15/2015 BFP! 4/15/2015 MMC 2/25/2016 BFP! Hoping for the best!
Testing: OK I really promised myself I wouldn't do that, but I actually tested this morning (I know...) I'm telling myself it's so I have "a negative control" to compare against, but of course that's BS.
R/R/CS: Snowmageddon is here and it's beautiful but scary! I just found out that I will have to go into work later today so I'm nervous...
GTKY: I love looking at everyone's dresses! I may have posted mine in the last GTKY (because shoes) but here is one of me in it
Testing plans: After the BFN yesterday IDK. I may just wait for AF & test if I don't have it by Wednesday.
R/R/CS: All I can smell is wet dog. The puppies went wild outside in the snow & I think the grass patch DH snow blowed for them has already drifted over....
GTKY: I loved my dress. It was so figure flattering for me. It was not at all what I thought I would chose before shopping. The complete opposite really.
I am sure I have better pics on computer but am too lazy.
Testing: I tested this morning because of drinking. BFN of course. I will try to wait until 10 or 12 dpo now.
R/R/CS: My temp stayed up really high (for me) today and I woke up chilly this morning because I had kicked my blanket off in the night. Then again, I also drank last night, so there's that. Also I couldn't get back to sleep after temping and poas, so I played a little "charts like mine" and literally all but one of the charts on the first page got BFPs on 7, 8, or 9 dpo. Wtf? now I don't feel as good about my BFN being because it's only 8 dpo. Testing too early. Gets me every time!
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet. I picked my dress because I loved the train, loved how it fit in the boob area, and it was much less expensive at davids bridal than the other dresses I loved from more spendy places. I had to have it taken in significantly in the waist (*sob* I miss that waist), so I had the seamstress change it to a slight sweetheart and we changed the beading, too. It was a pretty popular David's dress at the time, so I'm glad we made it slightly more unique.
R/R/CS: temp still up but normal pms starting. My longest LP has been 12 days so AF should arrive any time now
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
I don't have any pictures on my iPad, but here is my dress. Yes, it did have pockets. Sorry it's huge and in the wrong spot.

GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet. Here's my dress- mermaid style with a belt for extra bling. The very top had a layer of feathers.
I know others said it, but I'm just going to reiterate that I LOVE these GTKYs. I feel like I'm finally... You know... GTKY. And I talk to you guys more than I talk to my coworkers, and I see them 5 days a week. Is that weird? Maybe. Anyway, it's so nice to actually see glimpses of the people behind the awesome posts.
DD born PPROM preemie at 36 weeks on 10/1/17 after over a year TI, then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW, because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
Testing: Today got a BFP. On a digital so no squinting, no guessing.
R/R/CS: I'm cautiously excited, because I know the stats of CP/MC, but I'm also super happy since this is my first BFP ever. I left the stick on the bathroom counter for DH to find. It's been like 2 hours. The man refuses to pee! Also, my uterus never gurgled, and my cats are just as indifferent as always, so there's that...
I must say, I do believe that the EPO had a LOT to do with it. I suppose it could be coincidental, but the changes in my body after taking it were noticeably positive. so thank you to @MissAmeliaPond for that suggestion.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
I loved mine! I had to have it super altered because I'm short and have no boobs. You can't see it too much in this picture, but because I missed yesterday's TWW post I wanted to share my colors too.

GTKY: My dress was a fairly simple fitted, sweetheart top strapless lace gown. I really wish I had more picture with it bustled up because I ended up loving how it looked with the bustle. I did the tie underneath kind, whatever that's called! And yes, my bouquet, while incredibly gorgeous, was also huge and extremely heavy!
ETA: This is blonde1817 ... anyone have any idea why my screenname reverted back to knottie? And how to fix it?
It's a boy!
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD/DPO: 18/5
Timing: -3, O
Testing: I wanted to wait until AF was late, but I just realized we're going to a friend's party next Saturday night and I should probably test next Saturday morning. It'll be 12dpo. Anyone know if I'd get an accurate result from a CB digi weeks estimator at 12dpo?
R/R/CS: nada. Temp went back up, so I guess the early O wasn't a mistake!

It was a Demetrios dress. I loved it online and loved it when I tried it on. It was lightweight (the other dress I almost got was extremely heavy and I thought I'd have trouble moving around in it), flowy, not too trendy and just very "me". I added the rhinestone waist band because I thought the dress needed a little something more and my waist needed some definition. I really want to put this dress on again and just wear it around the house!
DH hates this picture because "his pants are falling down", but I love it. It was one of the last the photographers took.

BFP #4 1/2016, DD born 10/2016
TEAM: PINK!!
CD/DPO: 27/11
Timing: -2, -1
Testing: as soon as I get out of bed - drinking plans today and I want a clear conscience.
R/R/CS: nothing major except I'm mad that the clusterf*ck that was yesterday made me miss the GTKY question and the BFPs!! And Idk what the hell my temperature thinks it's doing.
GTKY: My dress (and bridesmaid dresses) were from bhldn. It turned out to be the most comfortable dress ever. I've worn more cumbersome prom and bridesmaid dresses! The pictures aren't the best quality bc I don't have my wedding photos yet (after 2.5 years) - the photographer was my brother in law, and I know he has them ready. We just haven't pushed to see them yet. On mobile, fx they aren't huge.
Married 10/12/13
TTC #1 since 10/15
Chart!
Thanks for trying to be helpful, but this cycle seems to want to remain a mystery until it's left the building!
________________________________________________________
Started TTC #1 November 2015
BFP 6/10/2016 - EDD 2/22/2017
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: -4, -2, 0
Testing: I've decided to stick to 10 dpo to test. I was going to this am, but decided that was just silly.
R/R/CS: Ugh, trying so hard not to symptom spot. I had cramping yesterday that felt similar to ovulation pain and then (tmi) I've had a couple instances of lightly spotting since then just when I wipe. Trying to remain neutral - I'm going back and forth between "Efff, its AF" and "omg, like totally that was implantation cramps!" Ugh, this TTC stuff messes with your mind. ETA: Just want to throw it out there that I do realize that IC pain/bleeding can only been identified in hindsight. My mind is just doing all the sillies. edited also to add: thanks for all the condolences yesterday for my grandpa's passing. I really appreciate it.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
Here was mine!
@LINDSEYRVA I'm sorry you're having a screwy cycl this time around. Fx'ed it gets its act together or exits promptly so you can move on!
Ladies, I'm loving all the dresses! I wasn't on yesterday so didn't get to play but went back and stalked them all! (And also shamelessly decided to play in WTO today)
@peachykeen17 I'm so sorry on the passing of your grandfather. T&p to you and your family.
@PeggyOlsonFTW I love the waistband you added. It really did add "something" to it. Stunning!
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0
Testing: Whenever my wondfos get here. Stupid postal service...
R/R/CS: I really really want to test because I'm so symptom spotting. Most of it I can chalk up to my cold, but I've been basically non-stop burping since Thursday night and I wouldn't have thought much of it except I remembered someone saying on here a few weeks ago that was a symptom they had before getting their BFP. So now I'm googling like a crazy person..

I knew I wanted a tea length dress when I started shopping. I took my mom and two of my sisters the first time and that was a terrible idea because my sisters that I took have completely opposite tastes from me and they hated everything I liked and I hated everything they made me try on. So then I went again with my other sister and my mom and I found my dress
ETA: adding a picture with my shoes since I didn't show that yesterday
CD/DPO: 18/2
Timing: -4,-2,0
Testing: no plans for a while
R/R/CS: Need one more temp to confirm ovulation but this wedding dress game is too fun! Posting in both WTO/TWW today.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
I went to the store, tried on about 5 dresses, chose this one and bought it off the rack. I'm pretty easy to please!
Surgery Dec 2016: submucosal fibroid removed
Awaiting RE appointment
CD/DPO: Updated! 17/4
Timing: Bad
Testing: Nothing for a while because of our timing
R/R/CS: FF changed my O date from CD 9 to CD 13. I'm feeling a bit better that it happened closer to a "normal" day but now our timing for this cycle blows.
GTKY: I LOVED my dress. I wish I could wear it again! A lot of people thought my dress wouldn't work for a beach wedding but IDGAF. I felt fabulous.
CD/DPO: 34/12
Timing: -5, -3, -2
Testing Plans: Tomorrow?
R/R/CS: Temp is still high today! I'm debating waiting another few days to test even though I'm dying because I really really don't want to deal with a squinter.
GTKY: Even though I didn't participate yesterday, I saw everyone's wedding color posts! Loved them all! For my dress, I was flipping through a bridal magazine I bought in the Nashville airport after running a half marathon there (it was the Rock 'N Roll and I highly recommend it if anyone runs) and stumbled upon this picture and absolutely knew it was THE dress for me. I called every single bridal store in the tri-state area and finally found one that could have the dress shipped to their store! I went to a few different stores in the mean time to check out others but this one was just perfect for me
I had the same bra issue as @bcooke314 and @LINDSEYRVA. Mine had to be altered to accommodate the key hole.
Me: 32 & DH: 37
BFP #2: 2/8/16 - EDD 10/20/16
IT'S A BOY!!!!
DS Born 10/16/16
CD/DPO: 29/15
Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0, +2
Testing: I might have caved and tested today, but we are 100% snowed in and I don't have a single HPT. Any of you ladies want to send me one by carrier pigeon?
R/R/CS: Most likely AF is going to show up very soon. Last night, my husband randomly decided it would be fun to brainstorm future baby names. It WAS fun...until I realized that it was leading me into dangerous emotional territory to come up with names for a baby who most likely hasn't been conceived yet. I need to be better about not getting ahead of myself.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
We were working with a very small budget for our wedding as we were paying for many parts of it ourselves, and I didn't want to spend more than $200 on my dress. That kind of limited my choices when I went to David's Bridal, but in the end, I found a dress I really love! Plus, I am super clumsy, so too much fabric would be just asking for me to trip while walking down the aisle.
CD/DPO: 1 dpo!
Timing: -6 -2 -1 and O
Testing: 10 dpo and on
R/R/CS: nothing yet.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
I'm mostly mobile and too lazy to dig on the comp for pics. I wore my mother's wedding dress that my Grandmother made. It was my "something old" and had a gorgeous train. I wore her veil too but, I wore it with a different headpiece.
Me: 32 & DH: 37
BFP #2: 2/8/16 - EDD 10/20/16
IT'S A BOY!!!!
DS Born 10/16/16
CD/DPO:20/7
Timing:-3,0
Testing: 12-14dpo. I'd like to wait as long as possible. I really don't want to see an bfn and then get my hopes up thinking it's just "too early" only to have AF show. It's just too much right now.
R/R/CS: I have a lot of work to do today and I want to throw a tantrum like a 2 year old. Id rather spend the day with DH.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
Yay I love this! We were on a tight budget but I just wanted something all white and then to add a big jeweled belt!
CD/DPO: 24/7 (hah...funny because 24/7 also means something else. Sorry, I'm tired, I woke up to temp and DH keeps having SBD farts and they are keeping me awake).
Timing: -4, -1, O
Testing:
R/R/CS: Temp dip almost to cover line today. Not sure what that's about.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
I can't find a good full-length pic of me in it, but this is it. It's Cinderella from the Alfred Angelo Disney line.
Can we do cakes next? I loved my cake. Actually, here it is, just for fun. We had a little cake and cupcakes, it was amazing.
ETF: Words.
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,
because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
CD/DPO: 19/5
Timing: -4,-2,-1,O,+1
Testing: Only if AF doesn't show...
R/R/CS: I got CH today, guys! Excuse my excitement as it is my first cycle finally temping and wasn't sure I would get them since I started temping CD 10. It puts O a day later than I would think, but not going to worry because our timing was good either way, so I'll just keep the extra day in mind when waiting for AF.
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
Here's mine!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: -2, yep that's it
Testing: my goal is February 1st if no AF/I can physically wait that long
R/R/CS: I missed out on the wedding colors yesterday because I was in WTO, FF moved me over this morning, yay! This is my first month charting so that excites me more than it should.

CD/DPO: 20/5
Timing: -4, -2, -1, O
Testing: OK I really promised myself I wouldn't do that, but I actually tested this morning (I know...) I'm telling myself it's so I have "a negative control" to compare against, but of course that's BS.
R/R/CS: Snowmageddon is here and it's beautiful but scary! I just found out that I will have to go into work later today so I'm nervous...
GTKY: I love looking at everyone's dresses! I may have posted mine in the last GTKY (because shoes) but here is one of me in it
Edited: (But I want to contribute to GTKY first!)
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -5,-2, 0, +1
Testing plans: After the BFN yesterday IDK. I may just wait for AF & test if I don't have it by Wednesday.
R/R/CS: All I can smell is wet dog. The puppies went wild outside in the snow & I think the grass patch DH snow blowed for them has already drifted over....
GTKY: I loved my dress. It was so figure flattering for me. It was not at all what I thought I would chose before shopping. The complete opposite really.
I am sure I have better pics on computer but am too lazy.

Timing: -5, -1, 0
Testing: I tested this morning because of drinking. BFN of course. I will try to wait until 10 or 12 dpo now.
R/R/CS: My temp stayed up really high (for me) today and I woke up chilly this morning because I had kicked my blanket off in the night. Then again, I also drank last night, so there's that. Also I couldn't get back to sleep after temping and poas, so I played a little "charts like mine" and literally all but one of the charts on the first page got BFPs on 7, 8, or 9 dpo. Wtf? now I don't feel as good about my BFN being because it's only 8 dpo. Testing too early. Gets me every time!
GTKY: After yesterday awesome wedding colours show & tell (thanks @PeggyOlsonFTW ) it seems only natural to move onto wedding dresses/dream dresses if you're not married yet.
I picked my dress because I loved the train, loved how it fit in the boob area, and it was much less expensive at davids bridal than the other dresses I loved from more spendy places. I had to have it taken in significantly in the waist (*sob* I miss that waist), so I had the seamstress change it to a slight sweetheart and we changed the beading, too. It was a pretty popular David's dress at the time, so I'm glad we made it slightly more unique.
@joyful08 the belt on your dress is similar to mine! LOVE it!

*****TW****BFP****
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD/DPO: 30/13
Timing: -3, -1, O, +1
Testing: Today got a BFP. On a digital so no squinting, no guessing.
R/R/CS: I'm cautiously excited, because I know the stats of CP/MC, but I'm also super happy since this is my first BFP ever. I left the stick on the bathroom counter for DH to find. It's been like 2 hours. The man refuses to pee! Also, my uterus never gurgled, and my cats are just as indifferent as always, so there's that...
I must say, I do believe that the EPO had a LOT to do with it. I suppose it could be coincidental, but the changes in my body after taking it were noticeably positive. so thank you to @MissAmeliaPond for that suggestion.

I loved mine! I had to have it super altered because I'm short and have no boobs. You can't see it too much in this picture, but because I missed yesterday's TWW post I wanted to share my colors too.
CONGRATS!!!!! SO excited for you
What's EPO? (sorry if that's a dumb question)
