I was actually waiting on someone else to post, but I'm up early so here we go!
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 24/9 (or 7)
Timing: -3, -1
Testing: I'm thinking Friday or Saturday. Busy week so I should be able to hold out
R/R/CS: feeling out and no real reason for that other than I'm just feeling blah. Meanwhile, yesterday I was totally SS. Such an up and down roller coaster of emotions! (Which can TOTALLY be a symptom, right?! Lol). Honestly, I know we're only at month 2 of really tying (others NTNP), but DH has such performance issues, I'm so scared to go back to another cycle. Our timing was good this one..PLEASE let it work!
GTKY: hmm I used this question yet still don't have an answer. I think it depends on the category, and I have a few favs...
Comedy: Happy Gilmore, Old School, Pitch Perfect 2
Scary: Saw (only the first one!), Scream (again, only the original)
Testing Plans: 11 then 15 dpo, if I get there (9-day LP)
R/R/CS: What is it about 7 dpo that brings out the batshit? I'm all cool and relaxed and then come day seven I start going bonkers. DS woke up at 4:30 this morning and MH has a big day at work so I jumped out of bed to try to quiet DS quickly, totally forgetting to temp. I get back to bed around 5:10 and finally fall asleep somewhere around 5:45, then wake up for the day at 6:30, when I temped even though I'd had very little sleep and had been up and about a few hours prior. Result? HUGE temp drop. Nearly 0.5 C, to just below my O-date temp. I'm sitting here like: it's totally a fluke because your temping was so off OR It's totally an implantation dip! OR I'm totally out this cycle, AF will come in three days as expected. Gah! Losin' ma damn mind.
GTKY (stolen from WTO): What is your favorite movie of all time? (no spoilers!) Just one?!?! There are seriously too many and I'll go with three of my favorites for a random selection:
Let's see, this will be one of the first generic replies for me. I hope I don't mess up the abbreviations or day counts
Month/Cycle:3/3
CD/DPO: 24/6
Timing: -3, -1
Testing Plans: Only if I am one week late
R/R/CS: nipples hurt and that's pretty much it
GTKY : My favorite movie changes constantly, however "Wild Tales" (Relatos salvajes) was one of the best ones I have watched. My favorite for a long time was Das Experiment the German production. Not happy movies, both are very violent actually. Maybe I should have a milder taste now that I am trying to become a mother!
@Paturkey Clue and Spirited Away are fantastic choices!
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 22/8
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Testing: Friday
R/R/CS: I almost tested this morning, but reeled the crazy back in.
GTKY: This is a difficult question. I love basically every horror movie ever, even the really bad ones. But my favorite movie.. Pineapple Express? It's really too early for me to think this question through.
TTGP February Sig Challenge- Valentine's Day Fail:
R/R/CS: the beginning of the TWW is probably the easiest part of the whole process for me personally but I'm prepared to turn BSC around 7/8 DPO lol
GTKY (stolen from WTO): What is your favorite movie of all time? (no spoilers!). 50 1st Dates! One of the few movies I can watch over and over again. I also love The Departed and pretty much any Disney Movie.
Super excited to finally be here for real!!!! Thanks to everyone on these boards! Month/Cycle:2/1 CD/DPO: 53/3 Timing: -1, -3 Testing Plans: Not sure yet, probably Friday of Valentine's weekend just because of alcohol intake! R/R/CS: I cannot believe how excited I was when I saw those solid red crosshairs this morning!! I hope they stay! This is my first time temping and it is taking some getting used to. I am always so excited to see my temp for the day that it affects my sleep Does anyone else have this problem? GTKY (stolen from WTO): What is your favorite movie of all time? (no spoilers!) Love Actually!!!!! I love christmas, love, and colin firth!

@jmr1515 Sorry for the temp drop and spotting - hugs to you today.
@Zoey1019 This past cycle was my first one finally temping and I also had some struggles sleeping because I was so anxious to temp lol, so I think you'll find that is very normal here!
As for me, it is CD1, so off to WTO. Thanks for all the support this cycle, ladies! It was a rough one for me, but I am trying to stay positive again for this new cycle.
R/R/CS: not sure how I'm going to make it through this day. Just waiting for the bitch AF to show up so I can start all over...again. I see some heavy drinking in my very near future.
GTKY (stolen from WTO): What is your favorite movie of all time? This is hard...probably Good Will Hunting. There are a lot that I love so picking just one was hard.
Oh, and I can't get my v-day fail pic to work. I seriously might chuck my iPad across the room today. You've been warned!
@jmr1515 I'm sorry its going to be a rough day for you. For me, at least, feeling like I know that AF is coming and having to wait it out is almost worst than just having full on cd1. I hope you have something to lift your spirits soon, be good to you!
@Paturkey I know exactly what you mean, but my gone crazy day is cd8. Up until then I swear that this month I am going to just chill and not test until AF is due, but then I lose my shit, start peeing like a fiend, staring at tests till my eyes cross and analyze every little thing. Why do we do this!?
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: -4, -2, +1
Testing Plans: Well, I have been going nuts and testing since cd8....I must just like to torture myself.
R/R/CS: I had a nice temp spike a few days ago, but it has been dropping by tiny increments since then. That coupled with the fact that I have had BFNs for 4 days straight now, including an FRER yesterday that claims to be 99% accurate within that time frame, I think I can safely say that I am out.
Also, I saw a tabloid magazine cover the other day saying that Gwen Stefani is pregnant. Whether or not this is true, it made me lose it. She is closer to 50 than 40 and apparently gets pregnant with one of her last surviving eggs just by taking off Blake Shelton's pants. Meanwhile, I am over here 29, healthy, taking temperatures in my vag, charting, peeing on stick and checking my cervix and it's associated fluids on the regular for 7 months and nada. So, yes, if it is true I can honestly say that I am bitter about it, which is not only ridiculous but bad karma I'm sure.
GTKY (stolen from WTO): What is your favorite movie of all time? (no spoilers!)
There are so many, but the two that I will never get tired of and will watch every time I see them on are Goodfellas and Overboard lol
@shaami1986 I said the same thing when I saw the Gwen Stefanie thing!!! My step sister didn't understand, but I was like, do you know how many people try for months, and even years, and she just gets knocked up after like a month of dating casually, probably a "mistake" OOPS! Ridiculous..I feel you on the bad Karma, but i felt the same way!

R/R/CS: BFP! It wasn't even a squinter; it was a faint positive. I'm having a ton of cramps this morning, so I'm really hoping it isn't going to be another loss. TMI, but I think those cramps might have been "I gotta go #2" cramps (which did seem to help some). Keep your FX for me that I don't end up back here in a few days. I think I'm going to avoid my BMB until we see/hear a heartbeat.
Thank you so much for your support! This board helped me significantly in coping with my December loss and navigating the murky process of TTCAL. You ladies are the best! I'm going to be lurking and rooting for BFPs for all!

Testing Plans: Only if AF doesn't come Valentine's Day weekend
R/R/CS: None really. It's too early in the TWW for me to symptom spot so sort of enjoying the next few days!
GTKY: What is your favorite movie of all time? Pride & Prejudice (the 6 hour 1995 version), Notting Hill, Love Actually, The Holiday, Holiday Inn. If it's British and/or about Christmas, I tend to love it.
@JamieK1882 In my case, I would have liked a few more attempts in between -5 and -1 so that's why I said timing wasn't great. I wasn't temping this month so things are sort of a guestimate.
I'm going to go ahead and move myself over to the TWW! I don't have crosshairs, but I don't think FF is going to decipher my wonky chart due to some lack of temps during the snow storm the other weekend. I see a temp rise where I "normally" do, and CM looks good, and my usual secondary signs seem to match up.
Month/Cycle: 4/4 (1/1 with DH on board to actively try instead of NTNP)
CD/DPO: 18/5
Timing: -4, -1, O
Testing Plans: 12 or 13 DPO
R/R/CS: Doing well! Wondering if there's anything I can do to help with implantation besides PNV/general healthiness. I'm trying to stay positive. We know a lot of pregnant people right now, and a lot of people ask us "when will you be pregnant?" And I always want to say THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS.
GTKY (stolen from WTO): What is your favorite movie of all time? (no spoilers!)
I don't think I really have a favorite movie. I watch different movies and TV shows depending on my mood - it's hard to pick.
@Marley629 - I agree! I do well in the beginning and then wham, crazy girl once I hit 7-8 DPO.
Congrats @strickland8052! FX for a healthy, sticky baby! I totally agree with your decision to avoid the BMB for a while.
Month/Cycle: 5 (1AL)
CD/DPO: 30/6
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2
Testing Plans: None unless AF is late.
R/R/CS: Today I'm very bitter about our crappy timing and that DH had to be out of town and that I ovulated late. Whine whine whine. GTKY (stolen from WTO): What is your favorite movie of all time? (no spoilers!) Star Wars, duh.
@MissAmeliaPond That timing definitely isn't crappy! Even if you didn't have sex on O day, you had four consecutive days of sperm chillin' and waitin' for their lady.
@khbear haha, thanks. Idk, I have an irrational complex about my body not being hospitable enough to keep the swimmers alive. I know it's silly, as I have no empirical evidence to support this theory, but I continue to believe it anyway!
R/R/CS: Pure worthless psychosomatic nausea so bad last night I slept with a bucket by my bed. My chart is very clear and it's impossible to have O'd earlier than I thought. Yep, the crazy has started early. It's going to be a long ass week. *hangs head*
GTKY: (Geez, I'm a odd duck...) The 2000 Dune and 2003 Children of Dune miniseries, What Dreams May Come, Oblivion, Zombieland, We Were Soldiers, Green Street Hooligans, The Fountain, Gattica
@MissAmeliaPond That timing definitely isn't crappy! Even if you didn't have sex on O day, you had four consecutive days of sperm chillin' and waitin' for their lady.
I second this! You guys know your body and timing better than I, but I was happy with our just -1 timing, and now I'm thinking it wasn't good enough : (
Re: TWW Tuesday

Timing: -4,-3,-1,0
Testing Plans: This morning and....
R/R/CS: BFP! It wasn't even a squinter; it was a faint positive. I'm having a ton of cramps this morning, so I'm really hoping it isn't going to be another loss. TMI, but I think those cramps might have been "I gotta go #2" cramps (which did seem to help some). Keep your FX for me that I don't end up back here in a few days. I think I'm going to avoid my BMB until we see/hear a heartbeat.
Thank you so much for your support! This board helped me significantly in coping with my December loss and navigating the murky process of TTCAL. You ladies are the best! I'm going to be lurking and rooting for BFPs for all!

**********Question*******************
Why do people say that -1 is not good timing?
Congrats, @strickland8052!
Month/Cycle: 5 (1AL)
CD/DPO: 30/6
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2
Testing Plans: None unless AF is late.
R/R/CS: Today I'm very bitter about our crappy timing and that DH had to be out of town and that I ovulated late. Whine whine whine.
GTKY (stolen from WTO): What is your favorite movie of all time? (no spoilers!) Star Wars, duh.
Edit: spacing
@strickland8052 Congrats lady! Wishing you a H&H9!!!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 24/6
Timing: -3, -2, O
Testing Plans: ICs starting later this week.
R/R/CS: Pure worthless psychosomatic nausea so bad last night I slept with a bucket by my bed. My chart is very clear and it's impossible to have O'd earlier than I thought. Yep, the crazy has started early. It's going to be a long ass week. *hangs head*
GTKY: (Geez, I'm a odd duck...) The 2000 Dune and 2003 Children of Dune miniseries, What Dreams May Come, Oblivion, Zombieland, We Were Soldiers, Green Street Hooligans, The Fountain, Gattica
I second this! You guys know your body and timing better than I, but I was happy with our just -1 timing, and now I'm thinking it wasn't good enough : (
