R / R / CS: I'm glad I took a break this month from monitoring, IUI and medication. I feel happier and healthier and ready to move to IVF next month if this cycle is a bust.
GTKY: What is one of the items on your bucket list? World cruise. I'd love to see Greece, France, Turkey, Spain, Italy Scotland, Ireland and Iceland

EDD Nov 16, 2016 Moving to IVF March 2016 Beta at 10dpo: 21, Beta at 12dpo: 98, Beta at 14dpo: 264, Beta at 16dpo: 745 U/S 6w6d: single beautiful heartbeat of 121bpm - It's a boy!!!! Nov 3, 2016: Our family became complete. Welcome DS #2.
Testing Plans: No specific plans as of now, I suppose if I have a good reason to, maybe on DPO 13? LP is usually 12 days.
R / R / CS: Just want to rave that I'm so happy I finally joined TB and started participating! Posting on the boards has made this cycle not quit as awful. It's been really nice "hanging out" with women in the same situation. So, on the flip side, my rant is that I waited so long!
GTKY: What is one of the items on your bucket list? I think I just mentioned this on a recent GTKY about travel, but one bucket list item I have is to visit all seven continents. Three down, four to go...
Hugs to all of you that need it today with BFNs and CD1. This TWW seems to be rough for quite a few people.
@Lecool FX that your temps stay high from this point on and you see a BFP soon!
Month / Cycle: 2/2
CD / DPO: 18/4
Timing: -1
Testing Plans: 8dpo... I've resigned myself to the fact that I won't be able to wait longer than that without losing my mind. *sigh*
R / R / CS: Not much to say other than this is the longest week of my life. UGH
GTKY: What is one of the items on your bucket list? DH and I have talked about taking a year off and living in a different country for each quarter. We would definitely want to live in Paris... but other than that I would think maybe somewhere on the beach in Southeast Asia and somewhere that speaks English to start (ease into the year) and maybe another city in Europe.
Slightly off topic: in October I got to take my Mom to check off a major item on her bucket list and it was soooo wonderful. Flew her down to Argentina and went to Iguazu Falls. If you EVER have a chance to visit there, DO IT. It was incredible! **sorry if this pic is HUGE**
@aammyy33 CD66 here. I'm not going anywhere! I still post on most boards, with the exception of WTO, because I'm not! But I'm also not in the TWW. (At this point I know I have a better chance of seeing a pig fly than getting a BFP). So I don't post here every day. I also have an OBGYN appointment in two weeks, so we can commiserate together. Let's be honest, two weeks is a freaking eternity right now! Im also on the cusp of the sixth month slump. So I know you're probably feeling as BSC as I am. Keep posting!!
@NurseMarie9I don't know whether it's better to be slightly optimistic and say you're not out until you're out and AF comes? I know that I've seen lots of charts where there were negatives before 12dpo and some people only test positive really late (e.g., 15dpo). But I don't want to just throw a bunch of false hope and rainbows and sunshine at you so it could also be that this just isn't the cycle. In which case, I'm sorry But I have my fx for you right now!!
@Lecool sorry you're facing the same frustration! I am glad to know that someone feels the same way though! Fx for you.
@felix08 I feel exactly the same way about the support here! I find that I'm not ranting in my head (or even worse, to DH) as often now, knowing that I have a bunch of people to share my thoughts with here!
@LittleStreem That looks like such a gorgeous place! I think you just added something else to my bucket list!
@newegman7878 I'm sorry progesterone supplementation is going so rough. I'm thrilled your H is being supportive!
@babymish Evaps are evil. Your next test could be a squinter. You never know.
@khbear Yes, you need to drop your first 4 temps. You were obviously not settled into you follicular phase level that early in the cycle. CD13 looks right
@michmich11 Last month I had a dip at the same time. It went back up.
@aammyy33 I say post wherever you feel comfortable. Hopefully you get a jumpstart for AF. Do docs usually test to see if you ovulated first before prescribing the AF med or do they always assume you didn't or can't by this point? Just curious. Hugs to you and @mrsdaddario for being patient through longer cycles!
@chloe97 This cycle has really put you through the ringer! It really sucks donkey balls when signs don't line up. Are you still HIO just to be safe?
@laurenlalap It sounds like you're enjoying a well-deserved break! FX this cycle, sometimes things fall into place right before a big move.
@LittleStreem I'm on mobile so I can never tell pic sizes, but even if it was huge... don't apologize! That photo looks like paradise!
Month/Cycle: 2/2 ttcal
CD19, 3DPO
Timing: Overachieved.
Testing Plans: 9DPO (3/5) to have a BFN to compare and torture myself with. Daily Wondfos after because... bulk!
R/R/CS: Rave 1: Got solid red CHs today! Rave 2: This is my second completely unorthodox cycle of day-temping and my thermal shift is still obvious. WOOT! (I'm still half expecting Toni Weschler to climb through one of my windows and wag a stern finger at me.) Rant: It really sucked waiting until it was 1:30pm official but I figured it was better to wait and post here vs. sticking around in WTO until tomorrow. I don't think I belong on that side anymore. Rave 3: Unrelated, but H kept Mmm-ing Jodi Sweetin yesterday. He says we're body twins and he'd "bang (us) both like drums." It had me cheeseball grinning.
GTKY: World travel. I did not have an opportunity to do it when I was younger.
@aammyy33 To echo what PP have said you can hang out anywhere you feel comfortable. When I briefly stopped charting due to a family emergency I camped out in the Benched thread until I was ready to join up with the WTO thread.
Month / Cycle: 8/8
CD / DPO: 18/3
Timing: -3
Testing Plans: I'm not sure. I will try to hold off to 12 dpo but the last few cycles LP has been really short (5-8 days). I have an appointment with a new OB/GYN in mid March for other concerns but I think I will bring it up if this month has another short LP.
R / R / CS: Rave: My chart is actually looking pretty good in terms of thermal shift. I'm pretty happy considering last month was the first anovulatory cycle I've ever recorded. Our timing wasn't great but it is better than nothing.
Mini rant: I was a total twatwaffle yesterday; I got snippy with DH about our timing. He travels a lot for work so because he happens to be home this month I had the expectation that we would be maximizing BD opportunities. Between very long days at work for him and unexpected visits from friends life got in the way of BDing and I got frustrated, resulting in the snippiness. We're good now but I just feel terrible for some hurtful things I said.
GTKY: What is one of the items on your bucket list? Driving the US from coast to coast, which DH and I will (hopefully) be doing this summer. We plan to visit friends/family across the US in the process.
R / R / CS: Had some slight spotting today, so AF is right on time. Expect her either tomorrow morning or the next. Excited to be done with this and move onto cycle 2 of TTC, because our timing will be MUCH better now that we're not sick anymore lol.
GTKY: What is one of the items on your bucket list? I would love to be a voice on The Simpsons haha. That's the only thing I can think of righ tnow.
R / R / CS: I got my dog back!! I had to give her away 2yrs ago after DS was born, she was escaping and it was just cruel to keep her tied up. I always stayed in contact with the person who had her, but she's having issues with barking/wandering and neighbours at the moment so needs someone to mind her while a run is built, guess who that someone is!!! :-D I'm so happy!!
GTKY: What is one of the items on your bucket list? Road trip around Australia!
