babymish · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 19/4

Timing: -5,-3,-2,-1

Testing plans: not sure yet

R/R/CS: not a lot to say right now, temps have been almost the same the last 3 days, hopefully this is the calm before the GIANT TEMP spike triphasic KU chart ...

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?

Oh it's so hard to pick just one!! I'm going to go with The White Company because the quality of everything is pure luxury and I love everything white/white tones

feelinchubby824 · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO:31/8

Timing:-4,-1,0

Testing plans:I'm BSC and tested yesterday, I'm sure everyone can figure out the result

R/R/CS: temp went up a little from yesterday, chart attached if you like looking at them. Anything I was previously thinking were symptoms are gone, how can I still be so crazy when I have nothing to SS!?

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?
i like express , I'm not sure I don't shop much and I definitely wouldn't max out a card lol

houseofsetters · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/3 (I've been thinking of changing this...since the previous two cycles I had no idea what I was doing and was basically NTNP. I have learned so much!)

CD/DPO: 32/4

Timing: -5, -2, -1

Testing plans: Possibly 10 or 11DPO, we're going to Orlando then and I'll want to ride roller coasters and whatnot.

R/R/CS: Headed to Vegas for a conference tomorrow...hoping it will be a much needed distraction from the TWW!!

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?
Restoration Hardware. Give me all the things!

sldp123 · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: -1, O

Testing plans: Next weekend

R/R/CS: Just not sure how I'm going to hold out until next weekend. I am swinging back and forth between being so hopeful and already thinking I'm out for this cycle.

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? I guess I'm going to be "basic" and go with Target, haha. They have everything so it just makes sense.

kfair001 · February 2016

I'll be back later to respond!

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 31/15

Timing: -4, -3, -2

Testing plans: BFN on 10dpo, 13dpo, 14dpo. No more.

R/R/CS: Glad it's Friday. Excited that DH and I are redoing our Bedroom this wknd!

We have decided that if we have a PRIME baby making environment, than I'll for sure get KU next cycle! lol Makes sense, right?? Just want AF to arrive so I can get cycle # 4 underway!

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? Hmmmm, Etzy, Amazon, Ikea, there are just too many stores!!!

ladystinson · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: -5, -4, -3, 0, +1

Testing plans: tested this morning, BFN, 5DPO despite knowing its too early. Let the stick peeing begin!

R/R/CS: DH and I work in the same office, our entire building (offices and production floor) only has about 95 people so we're pretty close with each other. (BG: DH and I got engaged 10/26/15 and married 10/29 so most people didnt have a lot of time to process lol) Yesterday, a few of the ladies that we're closest with threw us a surprise belated wedding shower and the whole company came. It was so nice and we had a great time.

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?
At the moment, Lowe's/Home Depot since we're working on our house. Also, there's a place near us called Community Forklift. Its a construction/home improvement salvage/consignment... I can't think of the word I'm looking for, I'll edit if I do... but they have new and used construction materials, appliances, doors, windows, etc. Contractors will donate things that were special ordered but not used since they can't be returned or if they just ordered too much of something (tax write off for their company) and they'll also salvage things like cabinets when they're redoing a kitchen. You can get an entire set of, basically new to good condition, cabinets for like 700-1200 bucks. And the new stuff is I think 75-90% off retail.... *sigh* I haven't been in a while and I'm seriously itching to take a trip.... DS is with xDuH this weekend, I may just have to... hehehehe

ShallowSeas · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 15/16

CD/DPO: 19/6

Timing: -4, -3, -1, +1

Testing plans: waiting until 9 dpo...

R/R/CS: I had the most realistic dream last night that I had just found out I was 4 weeks pregnant with fraternal twins. In my dream I was aware that it was my first month on Letrozole and I was even at my real doctor's office with DH. It felt so real. I woke up thinking for a second that I was pregnant...then remembered I'm not.

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? I can't pick just one...definitely Home Depot, Hobby Lobby, and some kind of home decor store.

EML2011 · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1 (started over for IUI)

CD/DPO: 13/1

Timing: -2, 0 (IUI in am, bd in pm)

Testing plans: 10 DPO (even though my clinic says 16 DPO...)

R/R/CS: DH had a little too much to drink last night and was being so sweet about making sure I wasn't stressed and just all around getting excited for this cycle. I felt like such a Debbie downer because I feel like we're out this cycle since everything was so early (CD 10 trigger/ CD 12 IUI)

GTKY: I think I'd have a hard time maxing out a cc at a clothes store because I'm kinda picky so I'd have to go with pottery barn or maybe wayfair. We could absolutely use some new furniture and decor!

@houseofsetters have fun in Vegas!
@babymish you and your DH had awesome timing this month! Fx for you!
@sldp123 good call on target!
@queendaenarysT I think everyone SS at some point, but it's still early so don't count yourself out yet!

jmr1515 · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 17/2

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

Testing plans: not unless AF doesn't show up

R/R/CS: I've lost that "this could be the month" giddiness I used to feel at the start of the TWW. Oh well! I'm happy its the weekend. DH and I are going to an awards gala so we get to dress up and eat a free dinner!

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?
@sldp123 I completely agree on Target. Man I could (an have) spend hours in that place and not be bored!

kellybean1988 · February 2016

*long post warning!*

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: At this point, I am royally confused #1, because AF STILL ISN'T HERE. @kfair001 I know that is still the case with you...wtf??? lol. #2 *CHART STALK* Can anyone offer any advice here? The free trial of FF's VIP membership went away today, and now the crosshairs are changed. Uhhh so this changes my coverline. Now I'm wondering if it's possible that I O'd on CD 20. This doesn't make much sense to me as I felt ovulation pain on Friday, CD15, and it seems like 5 days between ovulation pain and actual ovulation is a lot of time. I'm just wondering if these past two temps have been implantation dips (see info about spotting below) if those even actually exist, or if this is just an extra long LP for me (since I just went of BCP in late Dec, maybe I'm still regulating).

Timing: I THOUGHT it was --4, --2, --1, 0, but IF O was on CD20, it'd be --2.

Testing plans: BFNs on what I *thought* was 7dpo, 10dpo, and 12dpo. But if O was actually on CD 20, those days would all be too early to test.

R/R/CS: TMI warning: I have been spotting brown in sticky CM today, yesterday, and the day before. It was VERY light yesterday, and today is early, so maybe AF will show as the day goes on...but I still don't have any PMS or AF symptoms at all (namely the tell tale headaches that I always get). My temp dropped yesterday, and last cycle, AF arrived exactly 24 hours after the temp drop. Still nothing, and it has been 24+ hours since that temp drop. In addition, hubby and I BD'd last night because we haven't in a long time...and there was a small bit of red blood after that, but nothing since. I am so confused! I made a cocktail last night because I was SURE AF was gonna be here this morning (and don't get me wrong, I don't feel guilty...I am firmly lodged in the "drink till it's pink" camp), and maybe that impacted my temp this morning.

Thoughts? Sorry for the long post! This is why we go BSC!!!!!!!! I'm an over-analyzer to the max, if you can't tell

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?
Oh man, Tar-jay all the way!! We don't have a Target where I live so when I travel for work in the fall, I stop there all the time. It is not good for my wallet! (I also love Ikea and Etsy too, @kfair001 !)

Sparty18 · February 2016

@shallowseas Those dreams are the worst, sorry you had one. I had a dream last night that I ate like 26 popsicles in one sitting and then I was worried about what the massive sugar intake would do to the TTC process lol.
@jmr1515 Oooh awards gala, sounds fancy.
@babymish Of course I just had to look up The White Company and now I want one here.

Month/Cycle: 6/7

CD/DPO: 18/5

Timing: -5,-3,-2,-1,O,+1

Testing plans: 2/24ish

R/R/CS: I've decided that decorating our home is now going to be my new distraction hobby during this whole process. We moved into our house in October and haven't done much with decorating or buying new furniture yet, so now I have the itch and I'm excited to start doing things. I've created so many pinterest boards this week and the shopping starts tonight. Yay for distractions!

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? Since I'm currently in decorate mode in our home and we need a bunch of new furniture, I think I'll follow @houseofsetters lead and say Restoration Hardware or I could also settle for Crate & Barrel.

babymish · February 2016

@sparty18 oh yeah I forget you might not have them. They're a British company but if you ever come over you HAVE to go there.

Edited to add: there is a us website for them! It's a shame you haven't soaked up the atmosphere of their stores but if you do buy anything online you will not be disappointed! Their baby range is just dreamy!!!

anj27 · February 2016

@kellybean1988 How long was your LP last cycle? CD16 looks about right to me.

2Dash · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO:48/8

Timing:-5, -1

Testing plans: trying to hold out to 14DPO (I have only one test and its in a box on the top shelf of my bathroom closet...lol

R/R/CS: Not feeling many PMS symptoms yet. I have been having waves of nausea which is my SS symptom. I had nausea in the 2WW with DS2 even though people say morning sickness doesn't start that early ... I was nauseous. But I also had cramps, sore breasts, lots of creamy CM - and I haven't had any of that. We shall see what today brings...

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? I was going to say Ann Taylor Loft (in the US when the CND dollar is better) because we have it in Canada but it is more expensive - I love that store! But also all the home decorating suggestions you guys gave made me think - yeah Pottery Barn or something like that would be awesome! Maybe some home decorating would keep me from obsessing about TTC. Is it too early to decorate for spring/easter?

jmr1515 · February 2016

@kellybean1988 I agree with FF's O date given your CM. I would suspect that AF is on her way today (sorry!). Also I noticed that your thermometer only goes to the 10th degree. You may want to invest in one that goes to the 100th degree (0.01) as it is easier to note subtle changes in temperature and create clearer patterns. Mabis is a popular brand around here. Anyway I hope you get some answers soon. I know from experience that impending AF is almost worse than actual AF!

Sparty18 · February 2016

@kellybean1988 Looking at your chart, I think your O day is right on CD16. With your current temp drop and spotting it seems as if AF is around the corner, but I completely understand your frustrations. Your LP is still in the "normal" range if AF starts in the next day or two. Since you just came off BCP in December you probably aren't sure what your normal LP is, so it is hard to say. Do you normally spot before AF?
Also, unrelated, I give you credit for not living close to a Target, I don't think I could do it.

kellybean1988 · February 2016

@anj27 My last LP was 10 days, so I was really expecting temp dip a day or two sooner...BUT I am thinking all bets are off with initial LP average length after coming off BC pills 2 months ago. Who knows!!!

feelinchubby824 · February 2016

**tmi possibly?** So strange, I'm always struggling to find cm, I just had so much I thought I either got AF or pissed my pants lol... Anyone else expierence that more during TWW or right before AF?

kellybean1988 · February 2016

@jmr1515 and @Sparty18 , thanks, that helps! I agree with you and think that AF will be here any second...juuuust waiting.

@Sparty18 , I did spot last cycle before AF, so that's why I really think it's impending along with y'alls advice. @jmr1515 , I actually JUST bought a Mabis (took my temp with it AND old BBT this morning in case AF comes so I can record the Mabis temp today)...so I am really excited to start using that this next cycle!!!

THANK YOU ALL for addressing this. I really appreciate it! Impending AF is WAY worse than just waiting for AF. Boooooo. Y'all are the best!

beforeyou · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 25/8

Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0, +1

Testing plans: Ugh, thought I'd hold out till 10 dpo, but we're getting together with friends tomorrow so I'll probably test tomorrow am. I had to waste my FMU this morning before the crazy got me.

R/R/CS: Had a dream last night that I started spotting and knew I was out. In reality there has been no spotting,

except for symptom spotting...

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? Ummm I'm with @kellybean1988 and @sparty18 Target and Restoration Hardware all the way. Maybe even West Elm.

Hayrock · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 21/7

Timing: -3, O

Testing plans: trying to hold out till AF is late but probably more likely on 10

**TW child mentioned**
R/R/CS: We are doing a 3 day potty training boot camp with DS. It is day 2 and going pretty good. The good thing is it's keeping my mind occupied these last few days when testing could start happening soon.

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? Mine would be Anthropologie. Love the clothes and all the home decor.

BelcherEars · February 2016

@babymish FX for your temp spike! Also, never heard of The White Company before, but just checked them out online… They need to make a jump across the pond.

@QueenDaenerysT Saw your post and was thinking about how I couldn’t hold out to test this AM, and then noticed your CD/DPO…. We might be cycle buddies. Also I normally have CM during my follicular phase and O, but dry up during the TWW until 2-3 days before AF. This cycle I’ve had some milky CM 2-4 DPO and a lot of watery CM 5DPO thru current –like I leaked a little pee but I know that’s not what it is. It’s strange but I guess your regular is your regular until it’s not???

@houseofsetters Vegas and Orlando within a week of each other? Sounds like you are going to have some fun! Jealous...

@sldp123 I’ve been doing the same thing. On one hand I want to do the symptom spotting game and on the other I’m all like.. this is just AF symptoms rearing its ugly head early. Of course I caved and tested this morning (8DPO) which was a waste of a hpt, but at least it got the POAS itch calmed for a bit. Good luck during your TWW.

@kfair001 Have fun with the bedroom redo! Hope everything turns out great.

@ladystinson That was really sweet of your coworkers to do that for you!

@ShallowSeas Those dreams suck when you wake up. Sorry

@EML2011 I love pottery barn! They are a little expensive though. I’ve never shopped on wayfair, but I know a few people who have and love it. I’m just worried about buying furniture or décor pieces online and then they show up and are a different color/shade than I wanted.

@jmr1515 the awards gala sounds fun (plus I love free food so you know…) Hope you both have a great time!

Month/Cycle: 1/1 ATTC (6/5 off BCP)

CD/DPO: 31/8

Timing: -4 -3 -1 0

Testing plans: Trying to hold out till at least 10DPO. So that didn’t happen. I let the BSC out of its cage and tested this morning… of course it was negative. Hopefully POAS this morning will hold me over for a few days.

R/R/CS: Frustrated with my body. I have had AF like cramping on and off since 4DPO. Since 6DPO, I have felt like I am constantly running a low grade fever, have had a headache and haven’t obtained one full night of sleep. WTH body??!! AF isn’t due for another 6 days. Cut this sh*t out!

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?

Hmmm hard to choose… For fun: New York and Company, The Limited, LOFT, Express, or ULTA…. For actually needed items: Amazon, Target, Walmart or Lowes/Home Depot

Edit: words

Sparty18 · February 2016

@babymish Yay, I see that! Well now it is added to my list of sites to buy things from this weekend.

sldp123 · February 2016

@kellybean1988 I unfortunately have to agree with the others that your O date looks right and AF is probably coming. But I just wanted to add that when I came off of BCP, my LP started out at 9 days, then 10, then 11, and then finally has settled on 12 and has been that length for a few cycles now. So I agree that even though yours was only 10 days last month, it's totally within the realm of possibility for it to extend.

NordyMN89 · February 2016

@EML2011 - I can't remember your history, so sorry if you're already aware of this...just make sure to test out your trigger shot. The HCG can stay in your body for up to two weeks and since you plan on testing at 10DPO...GL and FX the IUI was successful!
@Shallowseas - I hope that dream comes true for you!

Month/Cycle: 14/10

CD/DPO: 15/1

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, IUI

Testing plans: Testing out my trigger shot then not peeing on anything until March 1

R/R/CS: DH and I had a fight this morning. It sucked and was so stupid. I think it's actually because we're both so stressed and sick of all the dr apts and it's just built up and decided to come out at 7:00am. So much for sex after the IUI to cover all our bases

GTKY: Nordstrom's - I would let one of their personal shoppers pull tons of stuff for me and I'd buy so many new shoes, I might even get something for DH

ShallowSeas · February 2016

@Sparty18 @BelcherEars Thanks ladies. Kinda bummed me out this morning but I'm over it now I guess.
@NordyMN89 thanks! H and I would love twins so we'd be thrilled if we had them!

feelinchubby824 · February 2016

@BelcherEars my LP was super short last cycle so there's a good chance I'm close to AF, I'm totally not reading into the CM much I think it's super different for everyone but it was SO EMBARASSING to literally run to the bathroom in the middle of work like omg do I have blood all over me or did I seriously leak LOL!!!

juliebeannn · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1 -- First official TTC month! We were TTC for a hot second last August/Septmber but when I got a new job in October, we decided to TTA so that once I get KU and have the baby, I would be at the company long enough for FMLA to kick in. So, here we are!

CD/DPO: 17/4

Timing: -4, -1 -- We've never been the most active couple, so hopefully, twice in the FW will be enough! If we don't get KU this or next cycle, we'll probably have to up the frequency haha...

Testing plans: 2/27 (12DPO) - I'm going out with the girls that night. I normally don't drink EVER, but when I go out with the girls, I usually have a glass of wine. I'd like to know if I'm KU before dinner.

R/R/CS: Just spent the last 3 days in Texas visiting an old college friend and her just shy of 1 year old baby boy. OMG. My uterus was like...."I need baby RIGHT NOW!" He's just soooo adorbs.

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? Can it be an online store? Then the answer would totally be AMAZON!! If it has to be an actual brick & mortar store, probably West Elm or Restoration Hardware.

wineo929 · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 19/4

Timing: -2, -1 , 0

Testing: Next weekend

R/R/CS: I decided last night not to temp during this TWW because I was making myself crazy comparing my charts to others... but this am I woke up and was PISSED I didn't temp because know I don't know what's going on in there.

GTKY: Honestly, Home Depot. We're trying to fix up our house to sell in 3 years and I just want it done!!

20T · February 2016

@ShallowSeas those dreams are the worst, I'm so sorry!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 22/10

Timing: -4, -3, -1, O

Testing plans: tested this morning again, BFN

R/R/CS: my LP is usually only 12(ish) days so I'm probably out this month, but I'm trying to be positive and think that it will give me more time to get in shape!

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?
For house stuff-definitely Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware.
For clothes-Nordstrom.

kellybean1988 · February 2016

@sldp123 Thanks, that is SUPER helpful! Maybe my LP is doing the same thing! Our bodies are so....intriguing. lol.

OK @juliebeannn and @peachykeen17 , what is West Elm? I've never heard of it before!

@QueenDaenerysT I may or may not have done that a time or two before actually logging my cycles. The whole time you're walking to the restroom hoping no one comes up behind you to witness the horror if AF hit. lol

EML2011 · February 2016

@NordyMN89 I'm planning on testing out my trigger. In the past my trigger has always been out by 8DPO and I got my "true" positive with DS at 10 DPO (also DHs bday). I'll obviously adjust my testing plans if the trigger isn't out of my system by 10 DPO, but yes, you are absolutely right that triggers can give you false positives!

@hayrock GL with the potty training! I'm NOT looking forward to potty training DS is all! Also, I forgot about Anthropologi! I might have to steal that one..

HurricaneAmelia · February 2016

Skipping the intro and just jumping in!

Month/Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 12 DPO

Timing: I think -2, -1....possibly -1,0

Testing plans: BFN yesterday. I was out of wandfos so I ordered more, trying to wait till they get here to test again, instead of wasting more money at the store.

R/R/CS: I had a really severe allergic reaction last week and ended up in the hospital. I was given a lot of different medications and spotted a bit during the whole ordeal. I read anaphylactic reactions can cause uterine contractions and I am hoping it didn't have a negative impact on our chances this month. I called our doc but he wasn't really sure.

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? Target, for sure.

beforeyou · February 2016

@kellybean1988 omg its this gorgeous home store. I salivate over their stuff. Its just a bit over our budget so its more a store that I window shop at.

Kay6519 · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 27/16 or 27/11

Timing: not really sure anymore...

Testing plans: Still in limbo with AF. Waiting to test until after the weekend.

R/R/CS: So maybe the 2nd O date was right? I'm just feeling like I'm out this month. Hurry up AF!

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?

I would never max out a credit card. I don't use credit cards. But I would love a shopping spree at Cabella's. I would love to stock up on outdoors equipment!

I totally had that this cycle. It was crazy! Usually I rarely even have any CM, but LO and behold there were copious amounts of EWCM last Monday. It's so weird.

@kellybean1988 West Elm is a furniture/furnishings store. Kind of like restoration hardware, but a tad less expensive. It's my design/furnishings mecca!

britters314 · February 2016

@kellybean1988 I often get temp drops 2 days before my period (meaning my period is the third day of low temps), and I agree with PPs that your O date looks right, so you can probably expect your period today or tomorrow.

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 27/11

Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1, 0

Testing plans: BFN yesterday. Testing tomorrow if my temp is still up

R/R/CS: Is it normal to get fertile CM in the LP? I have never had it happen before, but yesterday I had watery CM and this morning I had some EWCM (it could be leftovers from BD last night, but usually that's all out by now). And of course my CH are dashed now. I'm trying my best to avoid googling EWCM as an early pregnancy sign...

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?
I would never want to max out a credit card (even though my limit is super low anyway). But if I must choose, then definitely Barnes & Noble. Love my books.

Shwee25 · February 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 18/6

Timing: -2, 0, +1

Testing plans: A week from today, if I can hold out! Oh let's get real.. I'll probably test at 10dpo.

R/R/CS: Not much today! Happy it's Friday.

GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?

Ummm.. definitely Kohl's or Michael's or Hobby Lobby or Menards/Home Depot.

Want a personalized experience?
