beary67 · March 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 33/10

Timing: -5, -3, -2, 0

Testing Plans: Thursday if no signs of AF/Large Temp Dip

R/R/CS: My post-O temps are so low this cycle any my cover line is so high. Is this anything to worry about? I know this was briefly discussed yesterday, I just didn't realize how low my temps were this cycle and how close they are to the cover line compared to my averages.

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat?

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!!!

**This kind...

NOT this kind...

**There is wayyyy more peanut butter in the holiday versions and they are 100 times better than the originals!

Winnie81_Old · March 2016

@beary67 we bought those Reese's Eggs this weekend and omg they were disgusting. The chocolate seemed cheap to me. The Snickers version sucks too.

hanshotfirst77 · March 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 18/3

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

Testing Plans: trying to hold out for 10 dpo

R/R/CS: FF Gave me my CH today and O date of Friday cd15 kinda kicking myself now for not BDing on Thursday cd14 hoping our timing was good enough

Also today was my 3 rd day of high temps but today's was lower than yesterday but still above cover line but I did take yesterday's temp later than usual cause missed my alarm hoping that's the reason seems way too early for a temp dip

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat?

Anything with dark chocolate.

ETA: Forgot to add DPO

You must have had a bad batch or something!!!!!

zrain · March 2016

**question in R/R/CS**

Month/Cycle: 7/7 (1/1 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 26 or 27/4 or 5 (see R/R/CS)

Timing: -5, -3, 0 or something like that

Testing Plans: Thursday or Friday

R/R/CS: This being on the other side of the world thing is really confusing. I lost almost a day to travelling and couldn't temp during that time since I didn't really sleep. My temp jumped way up the morning after we arrived. I'd had ewcm for a few days before so it could have been perfect(ly inconvenient) timing for O, but I'm nervous that it's just the 15 hour time difference throwing things off, especially since CM, OPK, and microscope don't line up. I've been entering data in my chart for the day before since I thought it would even out when I get home, but I realized I'm getting home at night so that won't work. I just moved everything over a day in FF to match what day it is here in Cambodia. After that FF took away my dotted crosshairs, then put them back on the same day (cd22) when I switched the detector to FAM.

**question** Those who have tracked BBT while traveling internationally, do your temps go way up? Do they come back down again? Anyone have any input about whether I should trust my chart right now? I know I could wait a week or something and see if they stay up, but it's kinda driving me crazy...

GTKY: This chocolate bar: https://shop.alterecofoods.com/Dark-Salted-Brown-Butter/p/ALT-010495&c=AlterEco@Chocolate

@beary67 I've only ever been sure I ovulated once before so I'm not much help, but even though they're low there does appear to be a clear shift. I hope others here can be more helpful! Also, holiday Reese's are delicious!

@JediAlly85 Your timing looks great! FX your temp stays up tomorrow

Winnie81_Old · March 2016

*so sorry for posting and ghosting to anyone that tagged me yesterday. I was trying to avoid the internet so that I didn't go insane, after attacking the search bar.

CD/DPO: 29/15

Timing: -1,0,1,2

Testing Plans: If I hadn't pee'd on everything I could be testing right now. Will test sometime today unless AF comes.

R/R/CS: I can't believe I stared at other peoples pee sticks for 2 hours yesterday. I'm extremely moody and have an upcoming migraine, which are signs of AF. I hate looking on the Internet and seeing things that give false hope. That first pee test I took, had a blue line show up a few hours later. I know that the blue dye tests are notorious for this, but then I read an article(or blog) stating that no matter how long it sits, the blue dye or pink dye will never show unless there's a chemical reaction indicating hcg. This person isn't accredited and could be anyone, but it still puts a twinge of torturous hope in me. I'm sorry for this dear diary post. I haven't gone this BSC about symptoms in years.

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat? Hmmm, hands down creme brûlée!! NOM NOM

brady0517 · March 2016

Month/Cycle: 15

CD/DPO: 31/9

Timing: -2, O

Testing Plans: friday, maybe Thursday if I just can't handle the wait anymore!

R/R/CS: had a huge temp drop today below the cover line so I'm less optimistic about this cycle now. Really hoped this was it so I didn't have to go back to the RE

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat?
Definitely peanut M&Ms!!

I love that gif! Yeah, it had to be bad. It honestly tasted like really old Halloween candy. I love Reese's though! I'll buy another for benefit of the doubt!

*eta: HOLD ON. Someone can smack me. DH just corrected me and it was the Twix and Snickers eggs we bought...not the Reese's. I'll try the Reese's and finish drinking my coffee before typing any more nonsense

Winnie81_Old · March 2016

@brady0517 fx to you on Thursday!

leksiL · March 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: CD28 / DPO? (Just started temping)

Timing: ?

Testing Plans: Tested Sat, BFN. Will test again next Sat. if relevant.

R/R/CS: My (PMS) symptoms are out of control. Yesterday I was so thirsty I drank 5 16 oz glasses of water in the course of a few hours and still had dry mouth. This morning the cramps are hitting and I’m so waaah. I am ready for AF so I can start figuring out my cycle. I (of course) was hoping for a BFP this week but am looking at the bright side, because I was not the healthiest person in February this month I will be much better.

This week at some point I’m going to have a bunch of interviews for a great job at my company so I am going to try to focus on that!

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat? Candy: Werthers’ Originals – YUM. Sweet treat – sea salt caramels!

@beary67 I have no clue about temps but I LOVE Reeses PB cups/eggs. J

@zrain Anytime I travel internationally my whole body is a mess so I wouldn’t be too worried about your temps – I would think they would go back to normal in a few days. I hope you are having fun on your trip!

@Winnie81 I was the same way this weekend – so sorry. I was glad I had one of those digital tests just so I wouldn’t have overanalyzed it. They are expensive though L Love some crème brulee too! (this whole thread is making me hungry for dessert before 8 AM)

@brady0517 sorry for the temp drop L good luck w/testing.

beary67 · March 2016

@Winnie81

I do not think I would like a Twix or Snickers egg! I've never met anyone who has not liked the Reese's egg. Let me know what you think!!

Winnie81_Old · March 2016

@zrain last time I travelled internationally it definitely affected my temps the first week. When we came back it did the same. I think it was related to jet lag and your circadian rhythm.

@leksiL you were wise to buy a digital! I was just being cheap.

Megzb510 · March 2016

Month/Cycle: 8/5

CD/DPO: 45/9

Timing: -3

Testing Plans: I want to hold firm in the waiting for AF cuz my timing is so limited, buttttt I just got a new pack of Wondfo OPKs/HPT, which might make me test at 12 DPO

R/R/CS: DS was sick with a fever and cough all weekend so we were housebound. He was super lethargic and just laying on the couch with me, even after a 3 hr nap. Then he stands up and starts throwing up. I put my hands out to catch it and....it was useless. Vomit everywhere I don't know why I bothered to try and "catch" it. Ugh.

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat? I love these Lindt chocolate truffles. I also love Girl Scout Thin Mints.

WinchesterGirl · March 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 15/3

Timing: -1 *sigh*

Testing Plans: 10 DPO

R/R/CS: Really surprised at how early I O'ed this month. I am cautiously optimistic that my body is starting to regulate itself again.

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat? Well, I love to bake. So, I make all variety of things.... but right now I've figured out a fantastic oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe.

momtoleo · March 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 27/13

Timing: -1

Testing Plans: If AF doesn't show today or tomorrow

R/R/CS: DH is sick with a man cold. I'm fully sympathetic that he has a cold, sounds awful and doesn't feel well, but you would think the world is ending. Add in that I literally couldn't get off the couch yesterday because my back would spasm (um, that's a new PMS symptom, but of course I googled it) and we're in rough shape overall. Back is better this morning, DH is not.

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat? I don't discriminate. Anything European chocolate - give me a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar, Swiss chocolate, heck, even Nutella on a spoon!

@beary67 I feel like we've had a discussion about the holiday Reese's before. WAY better than the original. @Winnie81 So sorry you didn't like them! The chocolate is definitely not the highest quality, but that's almost the charm of them (at least in my mind).

brady0517 · March 2016

@Winnie81 i agree, the twix ones are not good, and i love twix so it was disappointing.
@Megzb510 there is something about getting a new pack of tests that make you want to use them immediately! im trying to not get any tests until the day i actually need them

Zoey1019 · March 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 22/6

Timing: -5, -2, 0, +1

Testing Plans: Probably starting 8DPO, every day from there. Just being honest with myself....

R/R/CS: No rants. Work is super busy and I hope it keeps me busy all week...this is literally the WORST part of this whole thing! These last couple of days stink and I am not looking forward to BFNs I wish I could be strong enough to wait for AF, but with my LP being 15 days last month, I just cannot make it to 16!

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat? Hmm...DONUTS!!!!!! Love really good fresh baked. Not like dunkin, legit homemade donuts!

Flamingo777 · March 2016

TW BFP

Month/Cycle: 2/2al

CD/DPO: 26/12

Timing: good

Testing Plans: this morning.... I THINK it's a bfp but it's a squinter!!!

R/R/CS: nothing to report feeling positive

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat? Lindt white chocolate! Everyone's posts are making me hungry!!!

GhanimaAtreides · March 2016

@beary67 The high CL and low post-O temps have always been a good omen in the past for me. FX'd for you.

@JediAlly85 I always have a dip somewhere in there between 3-5DPO.

@Winnie81 I did the exact same thing yesterday. ETA: I couldn't believe how many tests just like mine were submitted as de facto positives!!! It made me livid.

@beary0517 What's your LP length? A dip at 9DPO could be something to be excited about, barring a shorter LP.

Month/Cycle: 2/2 ttcal

CD27, 11DPO

Timing: Overachieved.

Testing Plans: BFN

R/R/CS: So yesterday I had a total Wondfo squinter. The other women from my 2010 mom group all saw it. Guys, it freaking GLOWED on invert. Yep. I went *that* BSC. Tried a CBE advanced digi yesterday afternoon and got a soul-crushing Not Pregnant. Know what the accuracy is for that one is at AF-3? NINETY PERCENT. So I figure even if I couldn't turn a digi yesterday (my mom's group says it takes about 3 days longer) at least this morning's Wondfo line should be darker. NOPE. Nada, not even a squinter like yesterday. Yet FF identified my chart as triphasic and there's the really obvious 7DPO dip. Care to venture how the stats on FF break down for the 1,000+ charts showing BOTH implantation window dips and triphasic patterns together? 93% Pregnancy, 3% Ovulatory, and 2% Miscarriage. Yup. To top it off I have watery CM which is a huge sign of impending AF. I'm due to start Wednesday. We'll see what the official temp is at 1:30pm, but I'm guessing it's going to revert back to my average line. FUCK.THIS.CYCLE.

GTKY: Bought candy? Ferrero Rocher

Made dessert? This is like asking a favorite movie with lack of regard to the fact most people have one for each genre. It's a 3-way tie between chocolate lava cake al la mode with sugared raspberries AND cherry pie AND strawberry shortcake.

teamginger13 · March 2016

Month/Cycle: 16/17

CD/DPO: 11dpiui

Timing: -2, 0 (IUI)

Testing Plans: tested yesterday afternoon (not FMU) and was negative however for 1/2 a second I thought I saw the squintiest of squinters but ONLY if I tilted it and held my head a certain way. Yeah I am 99% it was a BFN. Not going to test again until tomorrow at 12dpiui

R/R/CS: Nothing other than the above.

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat? Sour patch kids hands down. I just ate an entire bag yesterday in fact.

chloe97 · March 2016

Month/cycle 2/2AL
CD/DPO 33/10

Timing: Good

Testing:ED

R/R/CS Tested today and the WONDFO was definitely negative. Im potentially seeing made up shadows on my FRER. Nothing worth reporting on, but enough to give me hope that I'm not out yet. My boobs hurt today and my temps are still up, so onward.

First appt with the RE today!!

GTKY: Dark chocolate with sea salt. This is my favorite thing in the world, though I have to say that Reese's peanut butter cups are a close second!

Congrats @Flamingo777!!! N

WinchesterGirl · March 2016

@GhanimaAtreides so sorry the false hope sucks. Just remember, you aren't out yet! FX for you.

Sorry for all the other ladies having rough days... freaking Monday!

Zoey1019 · March 2016

@GhanimaAtreides i too know the dangers of inverting

I am sorry about today, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!
@Flamingo777 Congrats!! FX it keeps getting darker!

Winnie81_Old · March 2016

@Flamingo777 congratulations!!!!

atcwag · March 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 20/3

Testing: Trying to hold out until 14DPO

R/R/CS: Confirmed O today with a 3rd high temp....FF tells me to test on the 17th...but I plan to hold out until that weekend.

GTKY: Anything that mixes chocolate and raspberry.

bakerstreetboys · March 2016

**Lurking from WTO

@Flamingo777 Congrats! I hope that line keeps getting darker for you!

rkstro2 · March 2016

@GhanimaAtreides so sorry about your terrible cycle.

Congrats @Flamingo777

@chloe97 good luck at the RE!

@kirby1220 ugh! I hate man colds. It makes me so frustrated when DH thinks he's dying and it's clearly common cold. Hopefully the man recovers from it soon!

@megzb510 catching vomit in your hands? Lol sounds like a terrible day. Hope DS is better soon.

month/cycle: 9/9

CD: 26/9

timing: -5/-4/-3/-2/-1/O/+1

testing plans: not sure. I have a 10 day LP so AF is due Wednesday but may show tomorrow evening. I kinda want to test tomorrow to let myself down easy but then again it's only 10dpo so it's kinda early to test.

R/r/CS: I feel like I'm gonna have AF bc I feel the same as always but I'm still gonna be devastated. Why can't AF just come on the weekend so I have time to cry it out like I want to? It's lame that I have to work. Work gets in the way of my
pity parties.

Gtky: I love the Reese's pieces eggs.

Winnie81_Old · March 2016

@GhanimaAtreides ughhh that sounds so frustrating! I had never seen the invert pics until yesterday on Google. FX for you!

@chloe97 sorry for the negative. Dark chocolate with sea salt is amazing. A few months ago I tried dark chocolate infused with chili peppers and it was decadent. Time to rewatch Chocolat

@teamginger13 crossing fingers for you!!!

thefarmerswife0411 · March 2016

back later for comments

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: -2 0 +1 +3

Testing Plans: Nada- unless AF is late.

R/R/CS: T-Minus 48 hours until REAL MILK & COCKTAILS! (Not together of course lol)

GTKY:

Red Velvet Cupcakes from "More" in Chicago

My MIL's "Dream Bars" (Oatmeal PB Chocolate nomz)

DH's Grama's Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting.

britters314 · March 2016

Thanks to everyone who welcomed me back yesterday!

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 16/3

Timing: -5, 0, +1

Testing Plans: 11 DPO

R/R/CS: I have my annual GYN exam today. I'm seeing a new doctor because I moved since last year and I picked one whose area of interest is "family planning" so I'll bring my charts and see what she says about them.

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat?
Hot Tamales. I'm really not a huge chocolate person unless it is the expensive, good quality stuff that I can't afford to get very often.

MrsDramaK · March 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 37/7

Timing: -3, O, +1

Testing Plans: I thought I was gonna test this morning, but the BSCs haven't completely sunk in yet so waiting for Thursday which will be 10 DPO, possibly try and hold out til Saturday which will be 12 DPO, but we'll see how crazy I get.

R/R/CS: Not much to rant or rave about, my temp was good this morning, though my temps have been around 98.2ish and my CL is 98.1ish so that may be cause for concern, who knows though? It's my first cycle temping so this could just be my normal.

GTKY: What is your favorite candy/sweet treat? I honestly don't have much of a sweet tooth (ahhhh blasphemy!?@!) but when I do, nothing tops a Snickers bar.

I live in the Middle East. (So a 10 hour difference when I travel to visit the family)
when I went home for Christmas, going to the states my temps weren't really effected. (Which is the same with my jet lag. Not sure if it matters but it lines up)
when I traveled back though, my temps were SUPER high though and took over a week to return to normal levels. (My jet lag was also super bad when I come back)
mom not sure exactly why and I've only done the travel once while temping but one way did not effect mine but the other way effected it and lasted about a week.
Ps. Enjoy Cambodia. It's beautiful.

hanshotfirst77 · March 2016

@GhanimaAtreides thank you its comforting to know its not just me. And I am sorry for your frustration, Fx!

WinchesterGirl · March 2016

@Flamingo777 congrats!

beary67 · March 2016

@JediAlly85 you have great timing!

@zrain Sorry I have not traveled internationally since I started temping but I'm sure some other ladies can offer you some great advice!

@Winnie81 I found myself on the glow app last night looking at pee sticks. That's an hour of my life I can never get back. Oh well...Also ,my husband is obsessed with creme brulee. Like to the point that if it's on the menu, he will get it no matter how full he is! I would like to learn to make it for him sometime, but I worry it won't taste as good as getting it at a restaurant!

@brady0517 I'm hoping this is your month!!

@leksiL good luck with your interviews!! FX for you!

@Megzb510 I was super hungry for all of these sweet treats, but after reading about your poor DS...not so much. JK. I hope he feels better soon!

@WinchesterGirl I loooovvvveeee Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!

@kirby1220 I hope you and your DH feel better soon!! And yes, I have brought up Reese's peanut butter cups before. I think that just shows how passionate I am about the holiday editions!

@Zoey1019 I have always thought about making homemade donuts but it sounds complicated! Do you need any special equipment to make them?

@flamingo777 CONGRATS!!! H&H 9 to you!

@GhanimaAtreides Thanks for taking a look and for the positive thoughts!! Despite some of your symptoms, your chart is looking really good to me!! It's still probably too early to test with a digi. FX for you!!

@teamginger13 I love Sour Patch Kids. I tried the new Strawberry ones this weekend. They weren't too bad...but I still like the watermelon ones better.

@chloe97 I am keeping really positive thoughts for you and a BFP this cycle!! I hope your RE appointment goes well!!

@rkstro2 you have such great timing this cycle!! The eggs (and trees, hearts, pumpkins for that matter) are the best!

@thefarmerswife0411 let the countdown begin!! I'm glad you are not mixing milk and cocktails. Yuck!

@Britters314 I hope your appointment goes well today and your OBGYN is impressed with your charting!

@MrsDramaK I'm in the same situation with you regarding my CL and temps. FX it's a good sign!

@20T I am seriously holding myself back from going to get a cake pop/cookie from Starbucks at work right now!

picklesplease · March 2016

***lurking from WTO***

@GhanimaAtreides - so sorry! I would be so frustrated! FX for you, girl!!

@Flamingo77 - FX for a darker line tomorrow!

@thefarmerswife0411 - enjoy all of your milk and cocktails!! You are a far stronger woman than I am. I don't think I could give up dairy!

zrain · March 2016

@Winnie81 Oh boy. That does sound crazy-making. I've managed to stay completely away from blue dye tests for that reason. Oh, and yeah, the internet is evil! It's amazing how we can find all these things that point to not being KU but we always get stuck on the one thing that looks hopeful..

@brady0517 FX that was a good temp drop and not a bad one!

@leksiL Wow, that's a lot of water. Good luck on your interviews!!

@Megzb510 I admire your restraint in planning on waiting til 12dpo with a pack of wondfos! Wow, trying to catch vomit with your hands sounds awful! I hope he feels better soon

@WinchesterGirl You can totally get KU with only -1 timing! There's still hope!

@kirby1220 I'm glad your back is better, and I hope your DH gets better soon

@Zoey1019 Work is so great for keeping distracted. I know I should be relaxing and stuff on vacation right now, but I have all this time to worry about my chart and I know I'll start symptom spotting here pretty soon. Almost makes me miss the distraction of work.

@Flamingo777 Congratulations!!!

@GhanimaAtreides Ugh, sorry for the confusing test and chart. FX that one today was just a bad test or something. I hope things look better tomorrow!

@chloe97 Good luck with your RE appointment!

@atcwag My wedding cake was a flourless chocolate cake with raspberry filling and raspberries on top. Yum!

@rkstro2 FX AF just doesn't show up at all!

@thefarmerswife0411 Those dream bars sound amazing

@britters314 A friend of mine recently showed me a little shop that has an entire wall of fancy expensive chocolate bars. Single origin, organic, some with weird flavors, all of them delicious and way too expensive. It's dangerous.

@MrsDramaK Yay for self control!

@20T Mmm cake..
