@Marley629 Huge Yankees fan here! The chase for 28 begins That's so awesome your son is so into baseball. You guys will have a blast! Don't worry about Fenway, my DH is a Red Sox fan (I know, I know) but I took him to a game for his birthday and I made it out alive. No spit or beer thrown in my direction just a lot of shade hahah
@MRSCORKER Congratulations!!! And great news about the cruise, too! :D <img src="https://pjpies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/2zpjxj7.gif" alt="" height="314" width="415"> Keep your fingers and toes crossed for me and maybe we will be BFP buddies!!! ;)
@Lizzie5831 Ouch! I'm sorry you're feeling that pinching. Can your doctor check it out with ultrasound or something? How do they monitor those things?
@atcwag If you trust your CM readings then I would go with that. Creamy/"stickyrice" type CM is a definite post-O signal. (*Edited to correct username.) @sldp123 "pull out method"
@2Dash @Marley629 I feel the same way! My weight is slowly creeping up still, (despite a pre-O loss), so I'm proud of myself for logging well yesterday. Hoping to have a really good week for food and see where I am on Monday. One day at a time!!!

@BusinessWife Last time it was the ER, followed by ultrasound, admission for 3 days for pain management/torsion prevention and making the shitty discovery that I lack the liver enzyme to process morphine. Fun times. I think that was a follicular cyst though. It resolved on its own the day before they wanted to operate. This would be a luteal one, so I'm not sure what the protocol is. If CD1 doesn't roll around in a few days and I'm still hurting, I'll probably see my PCM, because there's no sense in waiting the recommended 60 days for CD1 if I'm going to be in a fetal position in pain and miserable the whole time.
@sldp123 - thanks for input, as mentioned "pull-out method"
@BusinessWife - thanks so much! I hadn't heard the "sticky rice" reference, but that's exactly what I had on CD20/21! Creamy, somewhat sticky with tiny "chunks". Oh man, that sounds awful like I have a yeast infection, but hopefully you get the idea. What do I mark that as in FF? Sticky or creamy? I find I have a hard time differentiating between the two. Thanks again for your help!
@whiska, I had one of those days on Saturday at work too. I didn't really let it show but I've never watched the clock so carefully before. I cried in the bathroom, too. I also had a BFN this morning at 10dpo and am going to keep your words in mind. I also will choose to be hopeful. This can't ruin or effect my day to day life, I have a lot to be thankful for. Thanks for the motivation!
Congratulations @MRSCORKER !!!!!!!!!!! I'm crazy happy for you and so glad you'll have a vacation waiting and ready when you are!! H&H 9 Months!!!
Thanks for everyone's comments and support. This tail-end tww business is not for the fainthearted. Thank you for sharing when you've also had or are having a rough day, it's nice not to feel so alone.
Me: 36 | DH 35, Married 2007
TTC #1 June 2015 April 2016 - AMH, FSH, Progesterone normal June 2016 - HSG clear *TW* BFP - Aug16, demise confirmed Sep16, incomplete m/c, D&C Nov16 BFP 3/27/17, edd 12/7/17 DS - 12/9/17 TTC #2 December 2018 BFP 2/22/19, edd 11/4/19 DD - 11/1/19 My Chart
CD/DPO: 29/14 although I'm starting to think I'm really on DPO 12
Timing: -2,-1,0 but if I'm on DPO 12 then it's really -4,-3,-1
Testing plans: Tomorrow if no AF
R/R/CS: I feel like crap. The worst bloating I think I've ever had. To the point it's painful. Bright red tiny spotting on Sunday, nothing all day yesterday but a little brown spotting last night, then super light brown spotting today that I really had to look for. I am thinking that today's going to be changing in to CD 1 though, and I have to work 16 hours today, so yay me!
GTKY: if you had a bucket list, name three things that would be on it 1. Go to Brazil and Australia 2. See a baluga whale and a whale shark in the wild 3. Have twins? Can that be a bucket list?!
@MamaMunn Season Packer tickets, yes! We are nowhere near getting them on the list. I do know a few families that have season tickets though. It always bothers me when people post a sob story and want tickets to a game for cheap because they have never been to Lambeau. Seriously go to a preseason game you can get tickets for like $30. We try to go to a game a year. A couple years ago we went to the playoff game against Dallas and spent $220/ticket.
@Mrscorker Congrats, FX for a sticky baby! I am on 3 TTCAL too. I really hope this is my month. Also stay safe on your cruise if you are still going.
@atcwag I think CD19, What if you discard temps from CD14/15. I see you had a note and they are open circles not sure if there would be a strong reason to discard them though.
Month/Cycle: 3 TTCAL
CD/DPO: 17/4
Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0
Testing plans: Maybe 9DPO which is Valentines day.
R/R/CS: Not much going on here.
GTKY: if you had a bucket list, name three things that would be on it. There was a similar question in WTO a while ago. I am not big on travel and don't really have a bucket list. The only thing I could think of was having a family.
Been temping and using the CBFM and both coincide and appear to be "normal", but does that confirm O at all?
Meaning, if you measure BBT and use CBFM, are there other factors that may cause for one to still not O that these 2 methods, even when used simultaneously, are unable to determine?
PS My temp dropped today so I'm expecting AF to show up any time later afternoon/evening
Testing plans: Possibly this weekend but going to try to wait for AF.
R/R/CS: Sooooooo after being really really good about temping consistently this cycle, I did not temp while traveling this weekend. No real excuse for it since I actually brought my BBT on the trip -- I was just frustrated with my CM and CBAD and temps not lining up, and I didn't feel like temping, so I didn't do it. This is a problem since I had been expecting O "any day now" for a week before I left on my trip, and now my EWCM is gone and I had a good temp spike this morning. So I'm like 95%+ sure that I Oed some time during the last 3-5 days, but with 3 consecutive days of missing temps it's going to be impossible to pinpoint exactly when.
Whatever. Pinpointing O this month isn't going to make our crap timing any better, and I feel like this just wasn't our month, so I'm just going to ride the next two weeks out and take the lessons learned from this month into the next cycle. I'm slightly frustrated because I feel like we "wasted" a month of supposedly increased fertility that comes post-loss, but at the same time an extra month+ to get myself into better shape and get into a slightly better mental head space wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
GTKY: if you had a bucket list, name three things that would be on it (1) Live overseas for a few years (2) Argue a case in front of the supreme court (3) See my team win the superbowl in person (GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!! Would have loved to have been there.)
@MRSCORKER - AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Congratulations! So excited for you.
@whiska - So sorry that you had a rough day yesterday! I hope today is a better one for you.
@marley629 - Sorry for the BFN! I feel you on the diet and exercise thing -- this past weekend when I was out of town, my attitude was basicaly "fuck it, I'm not knocked up so I'm going to drink and eat whatever the hell I want since I'm the only person it is going to affect." But that is not optimal for creating a bodily environment that will make it easier for TTC . . .
@namelessaria - Well done for resisitng the urge to POAS at least. :-)
@MamaMunn - So sorry for the discouraged feeling. If it makes you feel any better, even if the odds aren't in your favort month to month, odds are that it WILL happen eventually.
@2dash - Good luck on the diet/eating healthier! It can definitely be a good distraction from TTC. I was totally there with you until I went all "fuck it all" this weekend.
@BerkeBaby - So sorry for the BFN, but it's still super early!
@kirby1220 - Nice work resisting the urge to POAS!
@DCHokiemom - FX for good results with your good timing!
@atcwag - FX that you and your DH can work out his performance anxiety issues.
@MissAmeliaPond - So sorry for CD1 but glad that you got the job conversation over with!
@Lizzie5831 - FX that you don't have a cyst. There's nothing to regulate hormonally but you're still getting used to Oing again, so hopefully things are just a little wonky and you'll be back to something more regular soon (if you don't have a BFP of course).
@Mlight28 - Some couples absolutely can take 11 months to conceive for no reason. Glad you're getting the ball rolling on CD3 testing but FX it won't be necessary!
@BusinessWife - FX for further high temps and holding off on testing until after MIL is out of the picture!

Could you attach your chart? Also looks like your fairly new. The daily WTO (waiting to ovulate) and TWW (two week wait) threads have a sort of questionnaire to fill out which helps others get some background info and makes it easier to ask/answer questions.
m6agua Thanks for your reply! I did answer the questionnaire on TWW Monday, but temp dropped today signaling AF so I thought I didn't have to repost it here, but let me do that again
Month/Cycle: 2nd month TTC, but been temping and using CBFM for several months now
CD/DPO: 13DPO
Timing: -4 (also day of Peak and after Peak)
Testing plans: Temp drop this morning so expecting AF later today. Tested this morning anyway but BFN
GTKY: Travel the world, build an animal rehabilitation center.
This is my latest chart for January 2016:
I honestly don't know if I really O'd this month. Even though FF overlaid crosshairs and CBFM says I Peaked, the temp rise is only 0.1 if you read the chart. A lot of my charts are I think slow rise. Is that a bad thing?
I don't come in here very often anymore (or the site very much at all for that matter) but I happened to come today! CONGRATULATIONS @MRSCORKER !!!!!!!!!! I am very happy for you!!
R/R/CS: Finally back posting on TB. This is my 2nd time in TWW but had to leave last cycle bc FF took away my CHs.
Hopefully I get to stay until BFP or AF this time! Had some health
issues last cycle. Apparently I have a couple of Ovarian cysts on my
left side that I've been told not to worry about. I was however given
the clear to continue trying. I did not O last month so I'm really
happy about the CHs that FF gave me this month! Our timing is less than
ideal but my only goal this month was to O!
GTKY: If you had a bucket list, name three
things that would be on it:
1. Go on Amazing Race 2. Put my feet in all the Oceans 3. Learn to fly a plane
About me: TTC#1: October 2015 dx: PCOS & MFI IUI #1 w/Femara + Ovidrel June 2016 ~ BFP July 2016: Blighted Ovum IUI #2 w/Femara + Ovidrel September 2016 ~BFN IUI #3 w/Femara + Ovidrel October 2016 ~BFN IUI #4 w/Femara + Ovidrel November 2016 ~BFN IVF with ICSI January 2017 ~BFN FET February 2017 ~BFN IVF with ICSI March 2017 ~BFP--Twins Due 12/8/17 Team Blue X 2!
@jbl126how long have you been temping and do you know your typical LP length? To me it does look like you ovulated it's just hard to determine when since your temps were up in the beginning. I would suggest charting CM as well and that should help determine O in the future. I think it's one of the most important signs for predicting O. A slow rise isn't a bad thing. I have had a couple like that. My chart history is in my siggy.
@MRSCORKER Congratulations! So excited for you! I hope you have a happy and healthy 9!!!Month/Cycle:
CD/DPO: 18/1
Timing: -3, -1, 0, 1
Testing plans: Future me will decide, but trying to wait for AF.
R/R/CS: I'm going to assume we are at 1 DPO. My temps are all kinds of crazy with all the stress and craziness going on plus being sick. But on the bright side, things are finally settling down. DH and I found another place we like. It has a huge privacy fenced yard which would be great for our dogs and the foster pets during their stay. Plus the kitchen is perfect! Hopefully the owners will like our offer!
GTKY: if you had a bucket list, name three things that would be on it.
Aside from the obvious having babies *hopefully 3*, my bucket list would be: 1. African safari 2. Own a ranch where all the recued animals can live out their lives being loved and cared for 3. Hike through the Amazon rainforest
Timing: shit if FF's CH's are right, good otherwise
Testing plans: maybe if no AF by this weekend
R/R/CS: I am super crampy today, my boobs hurt, and I'm spotting. This must be the tail end of my usual 14-day LP so at least yay probably O. I totally feel the AF about to start.
GTKY: if you had a bucket list, name three things that would be on it.
Since we're unpacking in our new place right now I'm all about short-term goals: 1. Figure out the best coffee around here. 2. Figure out the best beer around here. 3. Plant our 1st garden.

@jb129 You definitely O'd. One of the things we like to say around here is to look at the forests, not the trees. You have a pattern of low temps and then later high temps. Also, your temp barely dropped today, so unless that little of a drop is normal for you on the day of AF, I wouldn't say that is a sign of impending AF.
Congrats @MRSCORKER !!! I had my fingers crossed extra tight for you this month!! You will be missed here on the TTC boards....obviously. happy and healthy 9! Yaaaay....

R/R/CS: where is the freaking mailman?! DH & I used to work @ the same company in Chicago. This company decided to send our w2 to Chicago, YES this is our fault because we didn't change the address because we didn't move until after we had left, but my resignation letter technically said FWD ALL MAIL TO XXX. We signed up for mail forwarding with USPS, WHY ARE YOU FAILING ME USPS. We still haven't gotten them & I'm annoyed! RAWR lol.
GTKY: if you had a bucket list, name three things that would be on it 1. Echoing those above, to be a mother. 2. To visit London more, ideally annually & perhaps retire there or nearby in the English countryside 3. To watch DH fulfill his full farmer dreams, we're in the process of working with my FIL on the family farm, I'm just praying FIL is realistic about his age & welcomes DH in taking over the business in the next 3-5 years. Something he has wanted since he was old enough to talk/"farm the carpet" as a toddler; as opposed to waiting & having to deal with either inheritance tax nightmares or nothing @ all.

<span class="vanilla-mention-@">@Lizzie5831 </span>Oh my goodness! That does sound like a pretty dreadful ordeal. Hope you are feeling better soon, and I agree, if not, I wouldn't want to wait that whole time in miserable agony, either! Hang in there and take care <hugs>
R/R/CS: My dogs had bad news at the vet in the last week. Molly went for her annual but we noticed she has been chewing on herself/scratching a lot more than usual lately. The vet recommends Benadryl twice daily. Maggie isn't due for her annual until July but has had a lot of eye discharge so we called the vet. They think it's allergies and put her on a pill twice a day as well. I know it could be a lot worse but I hate that they are both on meds. #dogmommieproblems (I don't tweet so I don't know if I did that right).

I feel you on the diet and exercise thing -- this past weekend when I was out of town, my attitude was basicaly "fuck it, I'm not knocked up so I'm going to drink and eat whatever the hell I want since I'm the only person it is going to affect." But that is not optimal for creating a bodily environment that will make it easier for TTC . . .
@namelessaria - Well done for resisitng the urge to POAS at least. :-)
@rkstro2 - Enjoy disney!
@LizaKate1213 - So sorry for the BFN.
@MamaMunn - So sorry for the discouraged feeling. If it makes you feel any better, even if the odds aren't in your favort month to month, odds are that it WILL happen eventually.
@Zoey1019 - So sorry for the BFN.
@2dash - Good luck on the diet/eating healthier! It can definitely be a good distraction from TTC. I was totally there with you until I went all "fuck it all" this weekend.
@BerkeBaby - So sorry for the BFN, but it's still super early!
@kirby1220 - Nice work resisting the urge to POAS!
@DaAliDShow - FX that the patience sticks!
@khbear - FX for testing tomorrow!
@FrancesGrace630 - FX for more high temps!
@DCHokiemom - FX for good results with your good timing!
@atcwag - FX that you and your DH can work out his performance anxiety issues.
@MissAmeliaPond - So sorry for CD1 but glad that you got the job conversation over with!
@Lizzie5831 - FX that you don't have a cyst. There's nothing to regulate hormonally but you're still getting used to Oing again, so hopefully things are just a little wonky and you'll be back to something more regular soon (if you don't have a BFP of course).
@Mlight28 - Some couples absolutely can take 11 months to conceive for no reason. Glad you're getting the ball rolling on CD3 testing but FX it won't be necessary!
@BusinessWife - FX for further high temps and holding off on testing until after MIL is out of the picture!
@MrsDho11 - FX for a BFP tomorrow!
@bender29 - Sorry for CD1.
@m6agua - A Valentines BFP would be awesome. FX the rest of the week goes fast for you.
Married 7/15
BFP #2 2/18/16
- BFP: 3/10/16 — Baby Girl born 11/20/16
TTC#2 April 2019Month/Cycle: 2nd month TTC, but been temping and using CBFM for several months now
CD/DPO: 13DPO
Timing: -4 (also day of Peak and after Peak)
Testing plans: Temp drop this morning so expecting AF later today. Tested this morning anyway but BFN
GTKY: Travel the world, build an animal rehabilitation center.
This is my latest chart for January 2016:
I honestly don't know if I really O'd this month. Even though FF overlaid crosshairs and CBFM says I Peaked, the temp rise is only 0.1 if you read the chart. A lot of my charts are I think slow rise. Is that a bad thing?
I don't come in here very often anymore (or the site very much at all for that matter) but I happened to come today! CONGRATULATIONS @MRSCORKER !!!!!!!!!! I am very happy for you!!
CD/DPO: 21/5
Timing: -4, -3, -2
Testing plans: Feb 14 AM / 10dpo
R/R/CS: Finally back posting on TB. This is my 2nd time in TWW but had to leave last cycle bc FF took away my CHs. Hopefully I get to stay until BFP or AF this time! Had some health issues last cycle. Apparently I have a couple of Ovarian cysts on my left side that I've been told not to worry about. I was however given the clear to continue trying. I did not O last month so I'm really happy about the CHs that FF gave me this month! Our timing is less than ideal but my only goal this month was to O!
GTKY: If you had a bucket list, name three things that would be on it:
1. Go on Amazing Race
2. Put my feet in all the Oceans
3. Learn to fly a plane

- BFP: 3/10/16 — Baby Girl born 11/20/16
TTC#2 April 2019CD/DPO: 18/1
Timing: -3, -1, 0, 1
Testing plans: Future me will decide, but trying to wait for AF.
R/R/CS: I'm going to assume we are at 1 DPO. My temps are all kinds of crazy with all the stress and craziness going on plus being sick. But on the bright side, things are finally settling down. DH and I found another place we like. It has a huge privacy fenced yard which would be great for our dogs and the foster pets during their stay. Plus the kitchen is perfect! Hopefully the owners will like our offer!
GTKY: if you had a bucket list, name three things that would be on it.
Aside from the obvious having babies *hopefully 3*, my bucket list would be:
1. African safari
2. Own a ranch where all the recued animals can live out their lives being loved and cared for
3. Hike through the Amazon rainforest
Congrats, @MRSCORKER H&H 9! Thrilled for you!

EDD 11/22/16
CD/DPO: 35/5 per FF (ETA) but I think 10-12dpo
Timing: shit if FF's CH's are right, good otherwise
Testing plans: maybe if no AF by this weekend
R/R/CS: I am super crampy today, my boobs hurt, and I'm spotting. This must be the tail end of my usual 14-day LP so at least yay probably O. I totally feel the AF about to start.
GTKY: if you had a bucket list, name three things that would be on it.
Since we're unpacking in our new place right now I'm all about short-term goals:
1. Figure out the best coffee around here.
2. Figure out the best beer around here.
3. Plant our 1st garden.

R/R/CS: where is the freaking mailman?! DH & I used to work @ the same company in Chicago. This company decided to send our w2 to Chicago, YES this is our fault because we didn't change the address because we didn't move until after we had left, but my resignation letter technically said FWD ALL MAIL TO XXX. We signed up for mail forwarding with USPS, WHY ARE YOU FAILING ME USPS. We still haven't gotten them & I'm annoyed! RAWR lol.
GTKY: if you had a bucket list, name three things that would be on it
1. Echoing those above, to be a mother.
2. To visit London more, ideally annually & perhaps retire there or nearby in the English countryside
3. To watch DH fulfill his full farmer dreams, we're in the process of working with my FIL on the family farm, I'm just praying FIL is realistic about his age & welcomes DH in taking over the business in the next 3-5 years. Something he has wanted since he was old enough to talk/"farm the carpet" as a toddler; as opposed to waiting & having to deal with either inheritance tax nightmares or nothing @ all.

R/R/CS: My dogs had bad news at the vet in the last week. Molly went for her annual but we noticed she has been chewing on herself/scratching a lot more than usual lately. The vet recommends Benadryl twice daily. Maggie isn't due for her annual until July but has had a lot of eye discharge so we called the vet. They think it's allergies and put her on a pill twice a day as well. I know it could be a lot worse but I hate that they are both on meds. #dogmommieproblems (I don't tweet so I don't know if I did that right).
GTKY: if you had a bucket list, name three things that would be on it
1. Does getting KU count? no one has mentioned that (unless I missed it).
2. Go on another cruise.
3. Redo my kitchen.
