@britters314 Yes! I had EWCM in my LP too, I had to look it up. Don't know if this is credible, but this is a quote I found: EWCM occurs as a response to increases in estrogen levels. About a week after you ovulate you may have another increase in estrogen, but this increase is not quite as high as what occurs during ovulation. Estrogen and progesterone levels increase to help thicken the lining of your uterus in preparation for implantation. When this happens you might notice a second patch of ewcm. This is not necessarily typical but it is also not unusual.

Hmm, I'm already 11 DPO, though, so it's more than a week after ovulation... I might have to do some googling..

Oh interesting... I missed that in your post, oops! If you do google, let me know what you find.
CD/DPO: 27 / 10 dpo or 6 dpo due to anxiety I'm not temping yet
Timing: -4, -1, +1 but HIO last weekend if I Oed late.
Testing Plans: none yet, waiting till I'm late
R/R/CS: I have a friend who dropped off the planet since having her baby last year and wrote me a letter (we have been sending letters since college 7 years ago because we both enjoy snail mail.) And she off handed asked if we have any "baby plans"... which really shouldn't bug me much but it really does. She hasn't bothered to talk to me during my crappy year with multiple family deaths AND MC.... but yeah "baby plans" wraps it up nicely... And I've been having weird twinges on the right side only for 3 days or so now. Not PMS that I've ever had so that's fueling my BSC right now
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? Right now with all of our home renovation I would use it at the hardware store near me. And Amazon we don't have much shopping near us so I am really good at Internet shopping.
@NordyMN89 my H has a subscription to "the Trunk Club" which is I think Nordstrom personal shoppers sending him clothes to try on every couple of months.... they are starting a female version of that soon
Timing: too confusing to tell, but it was either "meh" or nonexistent lol.
Testing plans: prob next week Friday or Saturday
R/R/CS: My first TWW! I finally made it lol. Judging by CM, I'm pretty sure I hit O this week. I honestly don't have much faith in this cycle, because my SO is still sick so we haven't HIO'd in almost a week. If I O'd earlier this week, at best we were -3, and at worst...it's like I didn't have sex at all lol. At this point I'm just ready to hit AF and get it "right" for cycle 2.
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? I've been making wish lists on Carter's and Old Navy kids...

Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 24/7 (Estimate, no temping this cycle)
Timing: -4, -2, 0, +1, and +2 and beyond in case O is off.
Testing plans: Still saying none unless no AF CD32, but my resolve on that is slowing fading.
R/R/CS: I'm not SS, because I have no symptoms to spot, but I am desperately looking for symptoms to spot. No such luck yet.
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? Amazon. Or target if I was feeling an in person shop. Or Barnes and noble because that's my fave
@houseofsetters Oo, how long are you going to be in Vegas for? I can give you plenty of good suggestions for stuff to do that's not the typical let's-walk-the-strip stuff.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 26/7
Timing: -3, -1, O, +1
Testing plans: Maybe DH's birthday next week if AF hasn't arrived. Wouldn't that be a nice present? (Trying not to get my hopes up, ugh.)
R/R/CS: Still no symptoms to go BSC about. Which itself is making me BSC.
And ughhhhh I need to be writing this longform article for work and I haven't started on it and instead here I am Bumping. I can procrastinate like my life depends on it!

Excited about moving to the east coast next week! It's a nice distraction from TTC. I know I'll be super busy next week and the following week I'll be traveling for work. The more I can not think about this, the better.

Testing plans: Well i was going to wait until tomorrow and I caved today...BFN
R/R/CS: Not much just terrible cramps, tender breast and I'm exhausted, at this point I am assuming AF is right around the corner and this month will be a tough one @houseofsetters I do the same thing with the charts like mine and then I overlap and obsess and spent hours going through an obsurd number of them
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?
Probably DSW, I have a serious problem when it comes to shoes, all kinds of shoes flats and heels and boots and even sneakers...it is a problem
Testing plans: After 10 DPO if no AF...see below...
R/R/CS: I have a sinking feeling that AF may decide to show up this weekend even though I ovulated a week later than usual. I feel sort of PMSy (is that even a word?). Finally feeling a little better from being sick this week!
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? Hmmm...So this isn't a store you can go to shop at, but I'm going to say any airline website! I love to travel (and to plan trips before traveling). Southwest Airlines just added a direct flight from my hometown to Denver...hmmmm.... Definitely a possibility that DH and I will try to travel there for our next trip together!
R/R/CS: still no more spotting just waiting on AF so I can move along to the next cycle. I do know as soon as AF shows I am going to make a really nice drink and enjoy it!

Testing plans: None
R/R/CS: After the BSC that erupted from stress of waking up every morning worrying that my temp would be above cover line and then over-analyzing my temps last cycle, I decided to stop temping during this TWW. Still not sure if that's the right call but I guess if not I can always go back to it next cycle. Also, it was blissful sleeping in without the alarm this morning.
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? This is so hard! Probably a furniture store, so maybe Pottery Barn? If it was clothes, probably Anthropologie. ETA: @minipig90 I was going to say something similar! Can I shop at a store that sells houses? I'd definitely max out a card at a house store.

@babymish – Your chart does look good! At least they’re staying up there! FX for KU cycle!
@QueenDaenerysT – Good store choice! I love Express! **TMI CM** – I have the same thing today. A ton of creamy CM and thought it was my
period. I usually have a little bit before
AF but never this much.
@houseofsetters – Have fun in Vegas! I’m sure you’ll be able
to distract yourself there!
@sldp123 – Target is always a good one! Good for you IF you can hold out on testing until
next weekend! I do the back and forth
all of the time too. One minute I’m for
sure KU, the next minute there is not a chance!
We’re nuts!
@ladystinson – Aww that’s so nice that they did that for
you. Wish my company was like that! I
love those stores! We’re redoing our bedroom this weekend so I’ll be dropping
some money there this weekend for sure!
@ShallowSeas – Sounds like a good dream! Maybe it means something!
@EML2011 – I know what you mean. My DH is always so supportive and positive
and I always come tearing in with my negativity but I just can’t help it sometimes.
@jmr1515 – Sorry you’ve lost the giddiness but your timing
this cycle is good!
@kellybean1988 – My cycle twin! What is going on with us, girl!? Still no AF for me either but I tested again
yesterday to no avail. Unlike you
though, I have all the normal AF symptoms though. I know its coming, it’s just taking
forever. Good luck to you!
@Sparty18 – I can’t get over how impressive your timing is. My DH needs to pull up his socks! Lol
@2Dash – I didn’t realize you were Canadian! Me too! J
@Hayrock – Gotta love a good distraction to keep the mind occupied
during the TWW! GL to you and DS on the potty-training!
@BelcherEars – You caved!
Hopefully you got your fix and can hold out a couple more days now!
@NordyMN89 – Sorry you had a fight with the DH. Hopefully you guys can make up quick so you
can cover your bases!
@juliebeannn – Congrats on being back on the TTC train! Good luck to you!
@wineo929 – I did the same thing at the beginning of this
cycle and then after like 20 minutes I decided that I just couldn’t part with
my thermometer and that the wondering would just drive me even more crazy!
@20T – Sorry about the BFN.
FX its still too early.
@HurricaneAmelia – FX that your allergic reaction does not
impact this cycle for you!
@NordyMN89 my H has a subscription to "the Trunk Club" which is I think Nordstrom personal shoppers sending him clothes to try on every couple of months.... they are starting a female version of that soon
Well...looks like I won't get any work done the rest of today. Off to research this BTW it's totally awesome your H has this! And sorry your friend is being insensitive. *hugs*
@babymish your timing looks awesome and I'm crossing my fingers for you over here.
@hurricaneamelia sorry about the allergic reaction. I have very severe anaphylaxis also and it is scary as crap even when you're not TTC. Not to mention freaking exhausting.
Also as a general note I'm loving all the gifs today.
Month/Cycle: 2 (1 AL)
CD/DPO: 17/4-ish
Timing: -1, -5 (not even sure that counts)
Testing plans: sigh. Not until late next week unless I start puking.
R/R/CS: Peeps... I sucked this month. I've missed tons of temp days. Our timing sucks (screw DR'S endless OT the past two straight weeks). I've mostly lurked on here.
Also, TWO baby showers this week. Mother $&! £#¥÷.
But, I'm here now so I am just along for the ride until next cycle.
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? So many options... my knee jersey reaction is to say Williams Sonoma because, cooking.
R/R/CS: still no more spotting just waiting on AF so I can move along to the next cycle. I do know as soon as AF shows I am going to make a really nice drink and enjoy it!
Oh my goodness, yes. At least alcohol will always be a nice prize for not conceiving
Testing plans: Caved and did a FRER today. It's too early! I may as well have walked into CVS and said, "Here take my money, I clearly don't need it anymore clearly." Of course it was negative, why wouldn't it be.
R/R/CS: I've had such a crazy post-O progesterone spike the past few days that I forget what my breasts normally feel like. I *think* they're bigger and heavier than normal but I've grown used to it and now I have NO idea without getting my OH to come fondle them for me and be like, "um, yeah they're just as firm and big as yesterday if not more so?" I can't decide if this is a rant or a rave, haha.
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? Nordstrom, no question.
@kfair001 CM and CP! But it's rough because I basically only know my fertile week for sure, and can only guesstimate the actual O day. Trying to get DH on board with temping next cycle so I don't keep wasting time with guesswork!
@kfair001 , here's hoping we both get AF soon. Every time I go to the bathroom I'm like OH COME ON, are you kidding me? I don't think I've ever wanted AF this bad, knowing that the temp drops say she is coming. If I don't get her by Sunday am, I will POAS again. For realz. Just to satisfy the BSC. It will be good to have a buddy though in the WTO even though I'm sorry for both of us!
TTC January 2016 BFP May 17, 2016 DS born January 31st, 2017: Rory "Mac" MacKinnon
Its great for him, he hates shopping, but all the things are in his size and we just pick color/patterns etc he likes. Thanks for the apology... this is how she is most of the time. I love her but it sucks sometimes.
@kfair001 Thanks! this year is so far going much better staying positive for good things this year!
Well today has turned into CD1 so I will be having my cake vodka with pineapple juice. I haven't had a drink since October so I'm kind of excited about it!!
@houseofsetters I love Orlando!! Have so much fun while you're there.
@shallowseas I actually used to have those dreams all the time before I started TTC. It was always so strange because I woke up remembering and feeling how much I loved the dream baby.
@juliebeannn Yes Amazon! It's the best. You can literally get anything you want. But sometimes I miss actually store shopping.
@kenya715 Ive been drinking decaf coffee and it's not even remotely making me feel happy. But I love the taste of coffee so it's the best I can do right now.
@britters314 B&N is my fave! I can do some serious damage there. My bookshelves are all currently full, but I'm on my way to B&N now anyway!
@houseofsetters Boo, hiss, conferencing. I'm assuming on the Strip? All my favorite places are near the old downtown of Las Vegas. You can hop on a bus that will take you right to Fremont Street for $4. If you're a coffee fan, PublicUs is in a slightly sketch part east of downtown, but they recently got the title of Best Coffeehouse in America in a competition. DH and I literally go every Saturday. More, if we can. For good beer, Banger Brewing is in the pedestrian part of Fremont street. If you're not a huge gambler but want to try something silly and fun, the second floor of the D hotel has a Vintage Gaming Floor. There's this mechanical horse racing game that you put quarters into to bet on the horses. It's super duper fun. And if you have access to a car, I would definitely recommend checking out Chinatown! It's sort of a crazy experience. If you like Ramen, Monta Ramen is a super legit hole-in-the-wall place. And if you just want a Vegas buffet, Cosmopolitan's Wicked Spoon is my personal favorite.
HAVE FUN!

@babymish That store may become a favorite of mine. It's so pretty and white!
@QueenDaenerysT I have definitely done the run before. It's pretty bad when you have to call another person to watch your classroom and the whole time you're trying as hard as possible to not... make... sudden... movements.
Month/Cycle: 5/5 (10/11 in all)
CD/DPO: 33/12
Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0
Testing plans: I'm allowing myself to consider Sunday.
R/R/CS: I'm trying not to be BSC, I don't want to get my hopes up. Today I started to let it lurk in. I have two wonky temps in my tww, one that it super high from being in the hotel that DH cranked the heat up to 75 in a teeny little space. The second is a dip from yesterday because DH fell asleep on the couch and left me alone in bed, he's my heater and I woke up feeling chilly. Temp was still high, but not as high as the others. So my BSC with this novel is, if I discard those two temps, my chart is beautifully triphasic, like gorgeous. Of course that is me being crazy, so I put them back, but I like it a lot better without.
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? I would either pick Target or Nordstroms. I love my options in those places!
@WinchesterGirl , so have you ever spotted or experienced bleeding during/after an anaphylactic reaction? This is only the second time I have had one and the bleeding was really unexpected.
Me: 34 DH: 36 TTC#2 September 2015 DD #1 born July 2014 Clomid 50 mg x2 months- no ovulation Clomid 100mg x 2 months- confirmed ovulation first month, BFN
Testing plans: Eh... we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
R/R/CS: Ok, so I normally hang out in TTCAL, but I thought I would come to the experts and hope you would chart stalk for me! Please and thank you! This is my first month temping. All the signs were pointing to O on day 21. I had a positive OPK the day before, I had EWCM, and my temp spiked on day 22. But then today my temp went back down. What gives? I've been trying to Google, and I must not be using the right search terms because it isn't helping me.
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? The grocery store! Because food is awesome!
@BooksForMe23 It looks like you were gearing up to O and you didn't. That happened to me this month, too. Just keep HIO - hopefully in a few days you will O and get your sustained temp shift.
@BooksForMe23 What are your cycles usually like? I'm no expert at charts but it doesn't look like you've O'd yet, but don't take my word for it. It's only been a couple of months for me. Keep charting and look for your patterns.
@pensivecrayons and @houseofsetters I was just in old downtown Vegas for conferences. Pizza Rock is AMAZING pizza. I live in SF and we have the original Tony's and Capo's (all owned by the same chef). Rated #1 pizza in the world a few times. Legit!
@adele85 Lol! I just read that you're going to eat pineapple cake and vodka juice. Doesn't sound too bad either! Enjoy yourself
@aliciabhen Decaf isn't real coffee and I think we both know that. Boo...hiss...actually feeling a lot better today and not so zombie but a little off-feeling. My sis says it's withdrawl but from coffee? Pish...
@itsmehere1212 So curious to see your beautiful chart! I don't know if we are 'allowed' to ask but if you're willing to share, I'd love to see it!
Re: TWW Friday
EWCM occurs as a response to increases in estrogen levels. About a week after you ovulate you may have another increase in estrogen, but this increase is not quite as high as what occurs during ovulation. Estrogen and progesterone levels increase to help thicken the lining of your uterus in preparation for implantation. When this happens you might notice a second patch of ewcm. This is not necessarily typical but it is also not unusual.

@ladystinson – Aww that’s so nice that they did that for you. Wish my company was like that! I love those stores! We’re redoing our bedroom this weekend so I’ll be dropping some money there this weekend for sure!
@ShallowSeas – Sounds like a good dream! Maybe it means something!
@EML2011 – I know what you mean. My DH is always so supportive and positive and I always come tearing in with my negativity but I just can’t help it sometimes.
@jmr1515 – Sorry you’ve lost the giddiness but your timing this cycle is good!
@kellybean1988 – My cycle twin! What is going on with us, girl!? Still no AF for me either but I tested again yesterday to no avail. Unlike you though, I have all the normal AF symptoms though. I know its coming, it’s just taking forever. Good luck to you!
@Sparty18 – I can’t get over how impressive your timing is. My DH needs to pull up his socks! Lol
@2Dash – I didn’t realize you were Canadian! Me too! J
@peachykeen17 – The dreams are the worst!
@Hayrock – Gotta love a good distraction to keep the mind occupied during the TWW! GL to you and DS on the potty-training!
@BelcherEars – You caved! Hopefully you got your fix and can hold out a couple more days now!
@NordyMN89 – Sorry you had a fight with the DH. Hopefully you guys can make up quick so you can cover your bases!
@juliebeannn – Congrats on being back on the TTC train! Good luck to you!
@wineo929 – I did the same thing at the beginning of this cycle and then after like 20 minutes I decided that I just couldn’t part with my thermometer and that the wondering would just drive me even more crazy!
@20T – Sorry about the BFN. FX its still too early.
@HurricaneAmelia – FX that your allergic reaction does not impact this cycle for you!
@Kay6519 – I’m impressed by your willpower! GL!
@britters314 – Sorry about the BFN. Probably too early!
@Shwee25 - Whenever you do decide to test, FX it’s a good result!
@Rottiemom86 – Sorry to hear about your tough year. Hope things turn around for you very soon!
@writeress – Welcome to your first TWW!
@aliciabhen – What are you basing you O estimate on? Just curious. CM, CP, OPK?
@Lecool – “Chart Like Mine” just taunts me every month!!!
@PensiveCrayon – FX for a Birthday BFP for DH. That would be amazing!
@Kenya715 – Good luck moving next week! That should distract you at least for a little bit!
@dogmommy85 – Sorry about the BFN. FX that it was just too early to test!
@minipig90 – Glad you’re feeling better!
@adele85 – Sorry about the BFNs.
@mrsdee15 – Cute picture!! Glad you got to sleep in. Jealous!

@ShallowSeas those dreams suck. A bunch.
@babymish your timing looks awesome and I'm crossing my fingers for you over here.
@hurricaneamelia sorry about the allergic reaction. I have very severe anaphylaxis also and it is scary as crap even when you're not TTC. Not to mention freaking exhausting.
Also as a general note I'm loving all the gifs today.
Month/Cycle: 2 (1 AL)
CD/DPO: 17/4-ish
Timing: -1, -5 (not even sure that counts)
Testing plans: sigh. Not until late next week unless I start puking.
R/R/CS: Peeps... I sucked this month. I've missed tons of temp days. Our timing sucks (screw DR'S endless OT the past two straight weeks). I've mostly lurked on here.
Also, TWO baby showers this week. Mother $&! £#¥÷.
But, I'm here now so I am just along for the ride until next cycle.
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?
So many options... my knee jersey reaction is to say Williams Sonoma because, cooking.
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: -4, -2, O, +1, +2
Testing plans: Caved and did a FRER today. It's too early! I may as well have walked into CVS and said, "Here take my money, I clearly don't need it anymore clearly." Of course it was negative, why wouldn't it be.
R/R/CS: I've had such a crazy post-O progesterone spike the past few days that I forget what my breasts normally feel like. I *think* they're bigger and heavier than normal but I've grown used to it and now I have NO idea without getting my OH to come fondle them for me and be like, "um, yeah they're just as firm and big as yesterday if not more so?" I can't decide if this is a rant or a rave, haha.
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? Nordstrom, no question.
CM and CP! But it's rough because I basically only know my fertile week for sure, and can only guesstimate the actual O day. Trying to get DH on board with temping next cycle so I don't keep wasting time with guesswork!

Its great for him, he hates shopping, but all the things are in his size and we just pick color/patterns etc he likes. Thanks for the apology... this is how she is most of the time. I love her but it sucks sometimes.
@kfair001 Thanks! this year is so far going much better
I love Orlando!! Have so much fun while you're there.
@shallowseas
I actually used to have those dreams all the time before I started TTC. It was always so strange because I woke up remembering and feeling how much I loved the dream baby.
@juliebeannn
Yes Amazon! It's the best. You can literally get anything you want. But sometimes I miss actually store shopping.
@kenya715
Ive been drinking decaf coffee and it's not even remotely making me feel happy. But I love the taste of coffee so it's the best I can do right now.
@britters314
B&N is my fave! I can do some serious damage there. My bookshelves are all currently full, but I'm on my way to B&N now anyway!

@QueenDaenerysT I have definitely done the run before. It's pretty bad when you have to call another person to watch your classroom and the whole time you're trying as hard as possible to not... make... sudden... movements.
Month/Cycle: 5/5 (10/11 in all)
CD/DPO: 33/12
Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0
Testing plans: I'm allowing myself to consider Sunday.
R/R/CS: I'm trying not to be BSC, I don't want to get my hopes up. Today I started to let it lurk in. I have two wonky temps in my tww, one that it super high from being in the hotel that DH cranked the heat up to 75 in a teeny little space. The second is a dip from yesterday because DH fell asleep on the couch and left me alone in bed, he's my heater and I woke up feeling chilly. Temp was still high, but not as high as the others. So my BSC with this novel is, if I discard those two temps, my chart is beautifully triphasic, like gorgeous. Of course that is me being crazy, so I put them back, but I like it a lot better without.
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in?
I would either pick Target or Nordstroms. I love my options in those places!
CD/DPO: 23/4 or /5
Timing: -4 or -5, see below
Testing plans: beginning to think there's no point, waiting for next cycle.
R/R/CS: FF can't decide if my O day was cd 18 or cd 19. So that leaves my timing at -4 OR -5. This sucks.
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? Target, for sure.
Dx: Both tubes blocked, PCOS, DOR, RPL
IVF Cycle #1 Dec. 2016 - 11R·11M·5F - Transferred 2 - BFP - Miscarriage - 0 Embryos Left
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: -4, 0 (IUI)
Testing plans: May start tomorrow since it is the weekend. I should probably wait until Sunday.
R/R/CS: Yay for Friday!! It has been such a long week!!!
GTYK: Nordstrom but I should probably be saying Ethan Allen!

Testing plans: Eh... we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
R/R/CS: Ok, so I normally hang out in TTCAL, but I thought I would come to the experts and hope you would chart stalk for me! Please and thank you! This is my first month temping. All the signs were pointing to O on day 21. I had a positive OPK the day before, I had EWCM, and my temp spiked on day 22. But then today my temp went back down. What gives? I've been trying to Google, and I must not be using the right search terms because it isn't helping me.
GTKY: Which shop/store would you like to max-out your credit card in? The grocery store! Because food is awesome!

@songbirdinthecity and @canavara Nordy's is having a 40% off sale right now...just sayin
@pensivecrayons and @houseofsetters I was just in old downtown Vegas for conferences. Pizza Rock is AMAZING pizza. I live in SF and we have the original Tony's and Capo's (all owned by the same chef). Rated #1 pizza in the world a few times. Legit!
@adele85 Lol! I just read that you're going to eat pineapple cake and vodka juice. Doesn't sound too bad either! Enjoy yourself
@aliciabhen Decaf isn't real coffee and I think we both know that. Boo...hiss...actually feeling a lot better today and not so zombie but a little off-feeling. My sis says it's withdrawl but from coffee? Pish...
@itsmehere1212 So curious to see your beautiful chart! I don't know if we are 'allowed' to ask but if you're willing to share, I'd love to see it!
