I feel you on the red lipstick, @SongbirdintheCity. I use it to make absolutely anything look more pulled together
@ladystinson - jockey makes something called skimmies slipshorts. They are the reason I survive summer in dresses/skirts. They're light and comfortable and don't ride up on my legs. I wholeheartedly recommend!!
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: -3, O, +1
Testing: Idk sometime before consuming booze this weekend.
R/R/CS: I'm honestly not even sure if I O'd. FF tells me i did but if I take away my positive opk, crosshairs disappear. It was just a small temp rise this month. I've usually gotten much larger, more obvious rises. And O snuck up on me earlier than usual, so timing wasn't great. Maybe it'll be enough!
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style?
I wasn't sure how to describe my style so I asked the hubster and he (very sweetly) described it as 'classy' which I love him for. I like to wear dresses, cardigans, skirts, skinny pants (stretchy, always stretchy!), and tunics to work. Basically, I dress for work with the aim of feeling like I'm in pajamas while looking professional. At home, all bets are off. Comfort is king.
Most of the time though, I like to look nice - it lends me some self confidence that I lack otherwise. I'm an introvert who doesn't prefer a lot of social interactions, but if I know I look nice, it's one less thing for me to obsess over and be self conscious about - which calms me down a bit. I like to have outfits I know look good put together and hanging in my closet, accessories included. I'm a weirdo.
Me - 30 DH - 36 Married 10/12/13 TTC #1 since 10/15 Chart!
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style? I'm a jeans and heels kind of girl. I like to be stylish, but with a level of comfort. I don't understand 6 inch heels or pants that you can't breathe in . You can absolutely look cute and not want to kill yourself at the end of the day.
Timing: Not very good, DH did a SA right around ovulation so we had to abstain
Testing: Not until I am late... due to bad timing
R/R/CS: I don't have any PMS symptoms, last month I had the WORST tenderness in my boobs and this month nothing... I didn't temp so I am wondering if I am anovulatory this month (the joys of PCOS). I plan to start temping again next month now that DH SA results were all back to normal range. I have seriously been grinning non-stop since we found out! I have been on a hiatus from The Bump and temping since we got bad first SA results for DH but now that they are normal I will be back to temping and commenting!
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style? I follow way too many fashion blogs/instragrams. I would say I like to keep up with current trends, without being too hipster or trendy. However, I never break the bank on clothes, I try to find really good deals. I like long wrap jackets, leather jackets, denim shirts/jackets etc. I wear a lot of skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans. I also LOVE scarves, blanket scarves, infinity scarves, pretty much any scarf! But I do live in Canada so its cold half the year...
R/R/CS: I've been crampy for 2 days and today is only worse than yesterday. My LP the past 3 cycles have been 16, 15 and 13 respectively so it seems like it is too early to start having period cramps. I guess I have endo to thank for these lovely cramps. I've also been having a decent amount of ferning this LP. It sorta seems like I shouldn't be getting ferning during the luteal phase but I'm new to this whole checking for ferning thing so what do I know.
GTKY: During the winter I'm usually wearing jeans and boots when I'm leaving the house and then either flannel or fleece PJ pants and a long sleeve shirt when I'm home. I'm also big into scarves and cute winter hats for winter. For summer I pretty much live in dresses. For spring and fall it just depends on the temperature but usually some sort of transitional style like a dress with a long sleeve shirt layered under it, boots and tights. I've also been trying this whole "red lipstick to make the outfit feel put together thing" and so far... I kinda feel like this:
Me: 28 Husband: 31 TTC#1: January 2015- September 2016 Infertility, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Rainbow baby born June 6, 2017 ❤️
R/R/CS: I'm very proud of myself for not POAS this morning, given that it is 8DPO, aka BSC day.The small temp drop I got this morning may have helped with that. Also, I keep going from feeling optimistic to totally out. I'm already trying to concentrate on scheduling road trips to HIO next month during what I think my FW will be, since OH will be working a couple of hours away.
Still, my temps are higher in LP than they were last month. I love looking at everyone's chart, so here is mine (the two temps I discarded were from when I was sick):
GTKY: I love to wear dresses, both work and casual. In the winter, I wear tights. I do wear jeans and sweaters casually when it's cold, and "active wear" around the house. In the summer, it's all about sundresses.
Me: 45 OH: 42 Beloved SS: born 12/2011 TTC my bio #1/our #2 since January 2016 **TW** June 2016 had CP **end TW** August 2016 - dx with DOR Somewhere in here received recommendation to do IVF with donor eggs, elected not to; OH dx with Low T May 2017 - began freezing sperm June 2017 - OH began treatment for Low T July 2017 - began doing 1 IUI via a midwife and 1 at home insemination each cycle http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6259ba July 2018 - exhausted frozen sperm, officially NTNP since OH is probably shooting blanks
Testing: was trying to hold out until day 10 but I've been feeling mildly nauseous, so I'll probably start peeing on things tomorrow.
R/R/CS: My chart looks so very similar to my November chart that it is making me way too hopeful and encouraging the BSC to be full force. I keep talking myself down off the ledge... It does not mean anything! You are fine! Only a 20% chance!
I have been kind of spotty on Bump attendance this cycle because I'm trying to think of other things and relax, but it is not completely working.
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style? I am completely casual - jeans, flip flops or flats, t-shirts or flannel in the winter. Ponytails all the time.
@BerkeBaby I am so sorry for your bad night, I too had a complete breakdown last night...I feel your pain
Sorry for the CD1s and the BFNs my heart is with you!
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 27/11
Timing:-4,-2,0
Testing: 10dpo BFN
R/R/CS: started getting AF symptoms today so not super thrilled about that buuuut life goes on right?!
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style? Sweats or shorts and t-shirt at home where I am at most of the time. I am obsessed with sneakers, I wear other things but sneakers are my true love, they make me so happy!!
*edited grammar* You guys, after my earlier post/feedback and thinking that I
maybe haven’t O’d yet in fact (thanks again to everyone for feedback!), I was
feeling very sorry for myself. Went to lunch, got 2 fortune cookies, and omg
look at what they both said:
1.
Good things come to those who wait. Be patient.
2.
Rome was not built in a day. Be patient.
ARE YOU SERIOUS. I understand that I needed to hear that but
JEEEEESH universe on two separate fortune cookies? Yowza. lol So I may be moving back to the WTO in the future, I just don't know when. Sorry!
@atcwag Ugh, I hate
BSC getting a gut-check. As you saw, mine did too today. I hate this! Hoping
you get answers soon.
@BerkeBaby I’m so
sorry about how you were feeling last night, and it sounds like your hubby is
an awesome guy. I totally get how you are feeling and am glad you are feeling
better today.
@juliehollz13 Oooof I
don’t like getting stuck by needles either, but it does help when the nurse is
nice. Hoping for answers for you soon! Oops—just read your other post…hoping
those suppositories work for you!!!
@ladystinson love
your mermaid meme and I echo the sentiment!
@20T once again, love to the yoga pants. They are my life.
@mtvkv5 …you’re my
month/cycle twin! Sorry for the BFN, but you are still early in the game. FX
for a turned test later this week!
@CajunSnowWhite89 So sorry about AF. I may be joining you in
WTO soon if it really becomes apparent that I still haven’t ovulated.
@QueenDaenerysT Looks like we may be doing the walk of shame
back to WTO together. I’m not a chart expert so I’m not sure about yours, but
hoping you did O and you don’t have to go back!
@QueenSunscreen I’m not sure if I O’d either. FX we both get
answers soon!
@BerkeBaby So sorry about your tough couple
of days. It’s so nice that your DH is so
incredibly supportive. You sound like a lucky
girl! Your day will come! *hugs!
@juliehollz13 FX for good results for you with the Doc.
@ladystinson Hope everything goes well with
you mom and DS feels better soon.
@sarahmsoda Glad everything is back to
normal. FX for you!
@NamelessAria Omg you made me laugh to hard
with the red lipstick. For whatever
reason, I can’t rock red lipstick and I’m convinced that’s how I look! Lol
@kellybean1988 our struggle is making me giggle a little.. The other day we were cd buddies in WTO and you weren't sure why your temp dipped, everyone thought either no O or fallback rise, next day went back up and you settled on fallback rise... Now today I'm in the exact same "possible fallback rise" boat as you and we are both still in possible limbo.. Good lord what a cycle!
ETA: Sorry for the crazy format!! Don't know what happened.
Congratulations @Kristen627 !!!! FX for a
sticky and HH9 months to you!!
@hupp0013
I am with you on the sweats/pjs the instant I walk in the door from
work! @zrain Sorry for the BFNs. Atleast

and impending CD1 Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: -5, -4, O
Testing: Friday at 10DPO.
R/R/CS: Boobs have been super tender, and H said I was moody the past couple of
days. Usually always a tell-tale sign of
AF for me.
Another rant: Has anyone figured out the
perfect response to those people that ask “So when is it your turn to have
kids?” I have been hearing so much of it
lately and it always catches me off guard.. It frustrates me so badly.
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style? I’m usually pretty casual, but like to look
put together. Like a lot of ladies here,
the instant I get home I’m in my sweats, t-shirt, and the bra comes off. Haha
@kellybean1988 those are awesome fortune cookies, things I also needed to hear so thank you for sharing!! i think sometimes it helps more to hear encouragement from you ladies on hear than to hear them from people IRL because I know everyone hears understands what I am going through, so thank you to everyone hear for all the encouraging words to me and for one another!
And inevitably after recording my temp it immediately becomes
Yeah, I feel you. lol. @Shwee25 , thanks! Sorry people keep asking you about having kids. Mostly I always just want to throw out the snark and be like "when my DH's sperm decides to fertilize my egg, that's when it's my turn" but I feel like prob that's not socially acceptable. lol.

THE ACTIVE WEAR VIDEO !! Great job not POAS today!
OK, first, the fortune cookie thing...what are the odds?!? Also, way to be Captain Obvious, fortune cookies But I hope that was what you needed. It can be so frustrating!
Second, I cannot tell you how stoked I am that you got the Active Wear reference!! I almost linked to the You Tube video...

So I think I have gone crazy, I need AF to come. I just searched on bump for "+HPT after 14 DPO" and "IB after 12DPO" hahahahahaha...someone talk me down from the ledge! I wake up every morning, like ok, that is it you are done, AF is on her way, but then somehow throughout the course of the day, this is what I end up doing!

@BerkeBaby Sorry you felt upset last night, glad DH was there for you. I have to admit the same thing happened to me. One minute I was happy, the next I was sobbing. I just felt like I was being left behind. But hey, we'll just keep on trucking
Thank you so much for the well-wishes. After 10 months I was having a very hard time staying positive and this board became one of the only things that helped. You all are the best!
@Kristen627 Congratulations! Wishing you a H&H 9 months!
@BerkeBaby I'm sorry that you had a bad night last night. The BFPs are so hard. I was beyond happy for MrsDho but seeing a BFP was still hard. I can only imagine if I had to see 4 more. Your DH sounds amazing. I'm glad that he was there to comfort and support you on a rough TTC night. He does sound like he will be an amazing dad. It isn't your fault that it is taking longer than you both had planned. Lots of hugs. Also, we're timing buddies. haha
@zrain I've definitely been there and done that with the chart gallery. Last cycle was probably the worst. Our timing had been exceptionally good for us. We normally get either -4, -2, O or -3, -1 but last month we actually had -4, -2, -1, O. So I was incredibly overly optimistic. Everyday I'd test and get a BFN then go to the chart gallery and be like "show me charts with BFNs on 13DPO but then a BFP later!" Okay fine if we're being honest the cycle before was pretty bad also. I'm pretty sure I was "show me charts with..." till AF showed at the end of a 15 day LP. I'm sorry that this cycle isn't looking good.
Me: 28 Husband: 31 TTC#1: January 2015- September 2016 Infertility, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Rainbow baby born June 6, 2017 ❤️
@BerkeBaby sorry you had such a rough night. Sometimes the feelings and emotions in this phase can be very rough. I'm glad your DH was there, to support you even if he can't fix it.
@babymish FX that good timing + a great trip = BFP
@ladystinson my thighs touch too, and LOL at the mermaid thing...
This will probably be my last post of the day as I am
leaving work soon and will then only be able to access TB on my mobile. Sorry if there are any late posters today and I miss replying to you!
@adele85 I was like SERIOUSLY with the fortune cookies?! I
totally needed it but I am also the world’s most impatient person so really
they just ticked me off. But I taped them both to my computer monitors at work
so I can see them every day and remind myself to be present and to be patient, and I am becoming more appreciative of them more and more. And yes, I look forward to being on this board every day because I know all of
you understand. You all ROCK!
@Shwee25 I know I
wish we could say that kind of thing! Oh well. When people say things like that
to me though --for real, I do this sometimes--I kind of like smile and evil grin and say “time will tell…muahahaha”
and it gets people to leave me alone and never ask again. For realz….also love your Nick Offerman
gif!
@Aurora1973 I know,
right? And YES THE ACTIVE WEAR REFERENCE! That video is hilarious. And I love
it. And I’m so glad you know it too!
@TotororyInLove Your creepy Easter bunny siggy is soooo
creepy. Lol you are a frontrunner for winning that creepiness contest, lol.
@Zoey1019 oooh the
google searching crazy! I get it! But you always know you’re not the only one,
because every time you go to google something that you think is ridiculous, it
automatically fills in your search results ‘cause some other BSC lady has
googled it before. Good ole google, making us feel a little more normal even with our psychotic googling spells.
TTC January 2016 BFP May 17, 2016 DS born January 31st, 2017: Rory "Mac" MacKinnon
Today has been absolutely insane and I had every intention of responding to everyone, but the day has gotten away from me. I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone for all of your wonderfully nice words. It helped keep me from dwelling on the rough time I'm having this cycle. You ladies are the best!
@Kristen627 congrats!! Love seeing BFPs after many months of trying! Did you do anything different this month?
Besides the bird poop?
I've been going to acupuncture for the last three cycles, and I think just the act of going helped me mentally — I felt like I was taking a bit of control out of an otherwise uncontrollable situation. Based on a hormone test I did with my acupuncturist (was a month-long saliva test, $350 OOP, worth it!) we added some herbs (a few different things but mostly chaste tree berry for progesterone and something called rhodiola rosea to help the adrenal glands. (We found my LSH and FSH being a bit wonky, though I was ovulating consistently.) Important note that these could be super dangerous if you are taking them without supervision. My husband also got a SA after my fertile week, which is now a bunch of cash we didn't need to spend, but whatever it takes, right?
I tried really, really, really hard to keep my anxiety at bay; daily meditation, lots of deep breathing, that sort of thing. But otherwise, no major life changes or anything. I usually don't drink much during the TWW and this time I was out of town and hitting the bars a little harder than I probably should have, which helped keep me distracted. Who knows what actually did it, but I credit the mental shift I experienced after too many months of obsessing. This is not to say I was a "relax and it will happen" case because I was absolutely NOT that way, and I think that is total BS.
Also probably worth saying that each month that passed left me feeling a bit more educated about what was happening and I tried to factor that into my anti-anxiety exercises. I like mantras (I'm a runner and use them a lot when I'm running long)... things you can repeat in your head like "Today I am one day closer to eventually being pregnant" or "Today was one more day I took control of my own anxiety" or other similar kind-of hokey things that one hesitates to admit out loud.
Testing: trying to wait until the 25th when AF is due but thinking about testing the earliest on the 22 (10dpo)
R/R/CS: I started reading TCOYF yesterday and it is amazing! A lot of it I have already read/knew, but I love the way that she writes. I also like how much detail is put into each topic,.Got me really motivated to try temping again next month even with my stupid night shift schedule.
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style?
Pretty much in scrubs most of the time (ER nurse), but when I am home I prefer just being in comfy clothes.
@Kristen627 I'm pretty sure you just convinced me that I need to start doing acupuncture. So many people are doing acupuncture before their BFPs. (MrsDho, PeggyOlsonFTW and whoever else I'm forgetting)
Me: 28 Husband: 31 TTC#1: January 2015- September 2016 Infertility, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Rainbow baby born June 6, 2017 ❤️
Sorry for no specific comments (unless I can get back tonight). I have to get back to work ASAP but I wanted to check in.
Month/Cycle: 14/3TTCA2L
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0
Testing plans: Trying to hold out until 10 or 11 DPO (Saturday or Sunday). The BSC is definitely creeping up. Part of me really wants to try to hold out until AF to avoid seeing BFNs again this cycle. I just don't know anymore LOL. DH was traveling for work yesterday and today. Last cycle he instigated me testing, so I suspect that may start again soon now that he's returning. I think he convinced me to do it at 9DPO last go. The next 4ish days are the hardest part.
R/R/CS: Work is kicking my butt, I have a headache and I think maybe some mild cramps too which has the BSC out in full effect.
GTKY: Totally with those of you who change in to sweats/yoga pants/comfy stuff as soon as you get home. I work from home 3 days a week so workout clothes/sweats are pretty much my uniform. I try to at least put on decent looking athletic wear on these days if I need to go to the store or anything. I am definitely a t-shirt and hoodie type of gal. I even have what I call my "nice" hoodies. LOL. In the summer I am all for dresses though. When dressing up I would say classic with a little edge.
Aw, @BerkeBaby and everyone, the feeling is totally mutual! I am often on this board and feel like I "know" all of you, even if I don't post as much as I should/would like to. I know sometimes I don't say everything I'm thinking because I don't want to be a total Debbie Downer but I really draw such strength and support from you all! Creepy internet hugs for all who need them
@Kristen627 I'm pretty sure you just convinced me that I need to start doing acupuncture. So many people are doing acupuncture before their BFPs. (MrsDho, PeggyOlsonFTW and whoever else I'm forgetting)
I was SO SKEPTICAL. But if the acupuncture didn't get me pregnant in itself, it definitely made a difference in my mental health, which I am convinced became a huge contributing factor.
Hey lovelies, I feel like I have been a real flake on here this week and not given a lot back. It's been such a busy hectic week! Anyhoo I finally just finished packing and wanted to check in with you all.
@hupp0013 I am exactly the same! PJ's are on within the first few minutes of arriving home...no matter what time of day it is
@zrain sorry for the BFN, and sorry about the jet lag, it sucks especially with those shifts! Hope your body catches up with itself soon.
@Songbirdinthecity I too have had an attack of the blemishes. The papercut tongue is a new one on me but hey if google says its a good sign I'd go with that too
@jedially85 sorry for the BFN, there is still time - good looking holding off for a couple of days, I know its tough.
@sandwichlover Sorry for the spotting, is your LP usually 10 days ish? Hopefully it doesnt mean CD1.
@britters314 Sorry for the temp drop, I didnt know FF could change your cover line going on temps after O, thats a new one on me. Very cool that you make your own clothes! I would LOVE to be able to do that.
@juliebeannn Glad you are getting over your cold and yay for high temps! I always think charts that dont look like previous charts are a good thing, especially if previous charts werent KU charts
Thanks so much @kfair001 its good to be back I too think MrsDho's BFP gave me false hope - no idea why I would think that but I was doing just fine, then the BSC emerged today and I'm 3dpo
@kellybean1988 sorry you are having such a confusing cycle, I have studied your chart and it's a tricky one. Going by temps I can see why FF might say CD13, but your CM says different. I cant remember if you mentioned it already but were you using OPK's too?
@virginiaham FX for tomorrow!!!! I am seriously impressed with your willpower to not test early - I'll be keeping an eye out for your update!
@beff12 It definitley is still possible to turn a test after 12dpo - FX for you
@Sparty18 Thanks!! Very happy to be back and so much sooner than I had thought. I am envious of your BSC free days, something went wrong with mine and they didnt happen this month. What is it with chart staring?? I do it too and I have no idea why. Its like I think if I look long enough the remainder of my TWW temps will magically appear showing me the path to either BFP or AF.
Congratulations! @Kristen627 H&H 9 months to you! - I need me some bird poop!
@atcwag Your temp is stil way up - FX for testing!!
@berkebaby sorry again for the sucky feels (((hugs)))
@juliehollz13 sorry you didnt get the results you wanted, I guess at least you know and they have put measures in place to fix it.
@ladystinson sorry for the fever and the O day confusion. I hope you start to feel better soon and that O was when you hope it was.
@20T what is with the bloat? Im sorry you have this too, I actually had trousers on at work yesterday that were not buttoned up - it was just too uncomfortable! I wore them with a long shirt so that (hopefully) you couldnt tell - needs must.
@mtvkv5 sorry for the BFN, although as you say, it is still early - FX for you!
@adele85 sorry you were feeling sad yesterday too and sorry for the BFN at 10dpo - its still early for you FX.
@shwee25 hopefully those symptoms are the good kind!! Good luck for Friday! Also I am the same with the instant bra removal - I wish so much we could get away with no bra's all the time!
@totororyinlove Are you temping to confirm O? If you have your dates correct then CD24 would have been 3dpo which would be way to early for testing. If you did ovulate later than usual this month then your overall cycle will be longer than 31 days. Your LP doesnt shorten if you O late - it will be the same length as usual.
@mrsBinPA I feel your pain with the testing tormet - I dont know whats worse, waiting for AF or seeing BFN. I thnk I have reached the stage were BFN's suck more but not enough to refrain from testing??!!
Re: TWW Wednesday
Another big congratulations to @Kristen627!!
I feel you on the red lipstick, @SongbirdintheCity. I use it to make absolutely anything look more pulled together
@ladystinson - jockey makes something called skimmies slipshorts. They are the reason I survive summer in dresses/skirts. They're light and comfortable and don't ride up on my legs. I wholeheartedly recommend!!
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: -3, O, +1
Testing: Idk sometime before consuming booze this weekend.
R/R/CS: I'm honestly not even sure if I O'd. FF tells me i did but if I take away my positive opk, crosshairs disappear. It was just a small temp rise this month. I've usually gotten much larger, more obvious rises. And O snuck up on me earlier than usual, so timing wasn't great. Maybe it'll be enough!
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style?
I wasn't sure how to describe my style so I asked the hubster and he (very sweetly) described it as 'classy' which I love him for. I like to wear dresses, cardigans, skirts, skinny pants (stretchy, always stretchy!), and tunics to work. Basically, I dress for work with the aim of feeling like I'm in pajamas while looking professional. At home, all bets are off. Comfort is king.
Most of the time though, I like to look nice - it lends me some self confidence that I lack otherwise. I'm an introvert who doesn't prefer a lot of social interactions, but if I know I look nice, it's one less thing for me to obsess over and be self conscious about - which calms me down a bit. I like to have outfits I know look good put together and hanging in my closet, accessories included. I'm a weirdo.

TTC #1 since 10/15
Chart!
Month/Cycle: 18/18
CD/DPO: CD22/7dpo
Timing: -2, 0, +1
Testing: - when AF is late
R/R/CS: progesterone nausea is the worst!
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style? I'm a jeans and heels kind of girl. I like to be stylish, but with a level of comfort. I don't understand 6 inch heels or pants that you can't breathe in . You can absolutely look cute and not want to kill yourself at the end of the day.
CD/DPO: 27/6?
Timing: Not very good, DH did a SA right around ovulation so we had to abstain
Testing: Not until I am late... due to bad timing
R/R/CS: I don't have any PMS symptoms, last month I had the WORST tenderness in my boobs and this month nothing... I didn't temp so I am wondering if I am anovulatory this month (the joys of PCOS). I plan to start temping again next month now that DH SA results were all back to normal range. I have seriously been grinning non-stop since we found out! I have been on a hiatus from The Bump and temping since we got bad first SA results for DH but now that they are normal I will be back to temping and commenting!
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style? I follow way too many fashion blogs/instragrams. I would say I like to keep up with current trends, without being too hipster or trendy. However, I never break the bank on clothes, I try to find really good deals. I like long wrap jackets, leather jackets, denim shirts/jackets etc. I wear a lot of skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans. I also LOVE scarves, blanket scarves, infinity scarves, pretty much any scarf! But I do live in Canada so its cold half the year...
HSG - All clear, ectopic kidney didn't affect uterus (yay!)
CT Adrenal Scan - no tumors!
SA - sperm count excellent, 2% Morphology
March/April IUI scheduled - surprise BFP w/ help of Progesterone - 3/18/2016
Beta #1 @ 11dpo - 45.7 #2 @ 14dpo - 163 #3 @ 18dpo - 997 #4 @ 21dpo - 3799
EDD 12/1 based on O, 11/28 per Ob/Gyn (but he's wrong lol).
*TEAM BLUE!*
CD/DPO: 32/10
Timing: -4
Testing: Waiting for AF.
R/R/CS: I've been crampy for 2 days and today is only worse than yesterday. My LP the past 3 cycles have been 16, 15 and 13 respectively so it seems like it is too early to start having period cramps. I guess I have endo to thank for these lovely cramps. I've also been having a decent amount of ferning this LP. It sorta seems like I shouldn't be getting ferning during the luteal phase but I'm new to this whole checking for ferning thing so what do I know.
GTKY: During the winter I'm usually wearing jeans and boots when I'm leaving the house and then either flannel or fleece PJ pants and a long sleeve shirt when I'm home. I'm also big into scarves and cute winter hats for winter. For summer I pretty much live in dresses. For spring and fall it just depends on the temperature but usually some sort of transitional style like a dress with a long sleeve shirt layered under it, boots and tights. I've also been trying this whole "red lipstick to make the outfit feel put together thing" and so far... I kinda feel like this:
TTC#1: January 2015- September 2016
Infertility, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Rainbow baby born June 6, 2017 ❤️
Baby #2 due June 12, 2018
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 24/8 @SongbirdintheCity is my cycle buddy (kinda)
Timing: -5, -3, 0
Testing: Still holding out for 11DPO...
R/R/CS: I'm very proud of myself for not POAS this morning, given that it is 8DPO, aka BSC day. The small temp drop I got this morning may have helped with that. Also, I keep going from feeling optimistic to totally out. I'm already trying to concentrate on scheduling road trips to HIO next month during what I think my FW will be, since OH will be working a couple of hours away.
Still, my temps are higher in LP than they were last month. I love looking at everyone's chart, so here is mine (the two temps I discarded were from when I was sick):
GTKY: I love to wear dresses, both work and casual. In the winter, I wear tights. I do wear jeans and sweaters casually when it's cold, and "active wear" around the house. In the summer, it's all about sundresses.

**TW** June 2016 had CP **end TW**
August 2016 - dx with DOR
Somewhere in here received recommendation to do IVF with donor eggs, elected not to; OH dx with Low T
May 2017 - began freezing sperm
June 2017 - OH began treatment for Low T

Sorry to everyone with CD1 and rough days!
Month/Cycle: 2 AL
CD/DPO: 24/7
Timing: Good
Testing: was trying to hold out until day 10 but I've been feeling mildly nauseous, so I'll probably start peeing on things tomorrow.
R/R/CS: My chart looks so very similar to my November chart that it is making me way too hopeful and encouraging the BSC to be full force. I keep talking myself down off the ledge... It does not mean anything! You are fine! Only a 20% chance!
I have been kind of spotty on Bump attendance this cycle because I'm trying to think of other things and relax, but it is not completely working.
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style? I am completely casual - jeans, flip flops or flats, t-shirts or flannel in the winter. Ponytails all the time.
Congrats @Kristen627 !
@BerkeBaby I am so sorry for your bad night, I too had a complete breakdown last night...I feel your pain
Sorry for the CD1s and the BFNs my heart is with you!
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 27/11
Timing:-4,-2,0
Testing: 10dpo BFN
R/R/CS: started getting AF symptoms today so not super thrilled about that buuuut life goes on right?!
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style? Sweats or shorts and t-shirt at home where I am at most of the time. I am obsessed with sneakers, I wear other things but sneakers are my true love, they make me so happy!!
*edited grammar* You guys, after my earlier post/feedback and thinking that I maybe haven’t O’d yet in fact (thanks again to everyone for feedback!), I was feeling very sorry for myself. Went to lunch, got 2 fortune cookies, and omg look at what they both said:
1. Good things come to those who wait. Be patient.
2. Rome was not built in a day. Be patient.
ARE YOU SERIOUS. I understand that I needed to hear that but JEEEEESH universe on two separate fortune cookies? Yowza. lol So I may be moving back to the WTO in the future, I just don't know when. Sorry!
@atcwag Ugh, I hate BSC getting a gut-check. As you saw, mine did too today. I hate this! Hoping you get answers soon.
@BerkeBaby I’m so sorry about how you were feeling last night, and it sounds like your hubby is an awesome guy. I totally get how you are feeling and am glad you are feeling better today.
@juliehollz13 Oooof I don’t like getting stuck by needles either, but it does help when the nurse is nice. Hoping for answers for you soon! Oops—just read your other post…hoping those suppositories work for you!!!
@ladystinson love your mermaid meme and I echo the sentiment!
@20T once again, love to the yoga pants. They are my life.
@mtvkv5 …you’re my month/cycle twin! Sorry for the BFN, but you are still early in the game. FX for a turned test later this week!
@CajunSnowWhite89 So sorry about AF. I may be joining you in WTO soon if it really becomes apparent that I still haven’t ovulated.
@QueenDaenerysT Looks like we may be doing the walk of shame back to WTO together. I’m not a chart expert so I’m not sure about yours, but hoping you did O and you don’t have to go back!
@QueenSunscreen I’m not sure if I O’d either. FX we both get answers soon!
@SweetScarlet82 I hope your nausea goes away soon!!!
@sarahmsoda glad your DH got normal SA results, woohoo!
@NamelessAria I love red lipstick but that is how I feel about it too,lol
@Aurora1973 I LOVE THE ACTIVE WEAR VIDEO !! Great job not POAS today!
@WinchesterGirl Good luck peeing on things tomorrow!
@adele85 sorry that you feel AF is on its way. Hope you get to fly through that and on to your FW!

@Kristen627 H&H9M to you!!! Love the bird poop story!

@atcwag FX for a good temp tomorrow!
@BerkeBaby So sorry about your tough couple of days. It’s so nice that your DH is so incredibly supportive. You sound like a lucky girl! Your day will come! *hugs!
@juliehollz13 FX for good results for you with the Doc.
@ladystinson Hope everything goes well with you mom and DS feels better soon.
@20T Sorry about the BFNs.
@mtvkv5 Sorry about the BFN but still way early and your timing is amazing!
@CajunSnowWhite89 Sorry about CD1.
@QueenDaenerysT FX that you stay in the TWW!
@SweetScarlet82 Hope the nausea goes away soon for you.
@sarahmsoda Glad everything is back to normal. FX for you!
@NamelessAria Omg you made me laugh to hard with the red lipstick. For whatever reason, I can’t rock red lipstick and I’m convinced that’s how I look! Lol
@Aurora1973 FX that you can hold out until 11dpo!

R/R/CS: Boobs have been super tender, and H said I was moody the past couple of days. Usually always a tell-tale sign of AF for me.
Another rant: Has anyone figured out the perfect response to those people that ask “So when is it your turn to have kids?” I have been hearing so much of it lately and it always catches me off guard.. It frustrates me so badly.
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style? I’m usually pretty casual, but like to look put together. Like a lot of ladies here, the instant I get home I’m in my sweats, t-shirt, and the bra comes off. Haha

I always start the day feeling good about myself
And inevitably after recording my temp it immediately becomes
Yeah, I feel you. lol.
@Shwee25 , thanks! Sorry people keep asking you about having kids. Mostly I always just want to throw out the snark and be like "when my DH's sperm decides to fertilize my egg, that's when it's my turn" but I feel like prob that's not socially acceptable. lol.

@BerkeBaby I'm sorry that you had a bad night last night. The BFPs are so hard. I was beyond happy for MrsDho but seeing a BFP was still hard. I can only imagine if I had to see 4 more. Your DH sounds amazing. I'm glad that he was there to comfort and support you on a rough TTC night. He does sound like he will be an amazing dad. It isn't your fault that it is taking longer than you both had planned. Lots of hugs. Also, we're timing buddies. haha
@CajunSnowWhite Sorry about CD1
@zrain I've definitely been there and done that with the chart gallery. Last cycle was probably the worst. Our timing had been exceptionally good for us. We normally get either -4, -2, O or -3, -1 but last month we actually had -4, -2, -1, O. So I was incredibly overly optimistic. Everyday I'd test and get a BFN then go to the chart gallery and be like "show me charts with BFNs on 13DPO but then a BFP later!" Okay fine if we're being honest the cycle before was pretty bad also. I'm pretty sure I was "show me charts with..." till AF showed at the end of a 15 day LP. I'm sorry that this cycle isn't looking good.

This will probably be my last post of the day as I am leaving work soon and will then only be able to access TB on my mobile. Sorry if there are any late posters today and I miss replying to you!
@adele85 I was like SERIOUSLY with the fortune cookies?! I totally needed it but I am also the world’s most impatient person so really they just ticked me off. But I taped them both to my computer monitors at work so I can see them every day and remind myself to be present and to be patient, and I am becoming more appreciative of them more and more. And yes, I look forward to being on this board every day because I know all of you understand. You all ROCK!
@Shwee25 I know I wish we could say that kind of thing! Oh well. When people say things like that to me though --for real, I do this sometimes--I kind of like smile and evil grin and say “time will tell…muahahaha” and it gets people to leave me alone and never ask again. For realz….also love your Nick Offerman gif!
@Aurora1973 I know, right? And YES THE ACTIVE WEAR REFERENCE! That video is hilarious. And I love it. And I’m so glad you know it too!
@TotororyInLove Your creepy Easter bunny siggy is soooo creepy. Lol you are a frontrunner for winning that creepiness contest, lol.
@Zoey1019 oooh the google searching crazy! I get it! But you always know you’re not the only one, because every time you go to google something that you think is ridiculous, it automatically fills in your search results ‘cause some other BSC lady has googled it before. Good ole google, making us feel a little more normal even with our psychotic googling spells.

Also, @juliehollz13 - So sorry to hear about your test! FX that things get better for you!
Edited because grammar and spelling are hard.
I've been going to acupuncture for the last three cycles, and I think just the act of going helped me mentally — I felt like I was taking a bit of control out of an otherwise uncontrollable situation. Based on a hormone test I did with my acupuncturist (was a month-long saliva test, $350 OOP, worth it!) we added some herbs (a few different things but mostly chaste tree berry for progesterone and something called rhodiola rosea to help the adrenal glands. (We found my LSH and FSH being a bit wonky, though I was ovulating consistently.) Important note that these could be super dangerous if you are taking them without supervision. My husband also got a SA after my fertile week, which is now a bunch of cash we didn't need to spend, but whatever it takes, right?
I tried really, really, really hard to keep my anxiety at bay; daily meditation, lots of deep breathing, that sort of thing. But otherwise, no major life changes or anything. I usually don't drink much during the TWW and this time I was out of town and hitting the bars a little harder than I probably should have, which helped keep me distracted. Who knows what actually did it, but I credit the mental shift I experienced after too many months of obsessing. This is not to say I was a "relax and it will happen" case because I was absolutely NOT that way, and I think that is total BS.
Also probably worth saying that each month that passed left me feeling a bit more educated about what was happening and I tried to factor that into my anti-anxiety exercises. I like mantras (I'm a runner and use them a lot when I'm running long)... things you can repeat in your head like "Today I am one day closer to eventually being pregnant" or "Today was one more day I took control of my own anxiety" or other similar kind-of hokey things that one hesitates to admit out loud.
A bit long, but hopefully a little helpful.
CD/DPO: 21/ 4DPO?
Timing: -3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2
Testing: trying to wait until the 25th when AF is due but thinking about testing the earliest on the 22 (10dpo)
R/R/CS: I started reading TCOYF yesterday and it is amazing! A lot of it I have already read/knew, but I love the way that she writes. I also like how much detail is put into each topic,.Got me really motivated to try temping again next month even with my stupid night shift schedule.
GTKY: Let's talk fashion! How do you like to dress/what's your style?
Pretty much in scrubs most of the time (ER nurse), but when I am home I prefer just being in comfy clothes.

Sorry for no specific comments (unless I can get back tonight). I have to get back to work ASAP but I wanted to check in.
Month/Cycle: 14/3TTCA2L
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0
Testing plans: Trying to hold out until 10 or 11 DPO (Saturday or Sunday). The BSC is definitely creeping up. Part of me really wants to try to hold out until AF to avoid seeing BFNs again this cycle. I just don't know anymore LOL. DH was traveling for work yesterday and today. Last cycle he instigated me testing, so I suspect that may start again soon now that he's returning. I think he convinced me to do it at 9DPO last go. The next 4ish days are the hardest part.
R/R/CS: Work is kicking my butt, I have a headache and I think maybe some mild cramps too which has the BSC out in full effect.
GTKY: Totally with those of you who change in to sweats/yoga pants/comfy stuff as soon as you get home. I work from home 3 days a week so workout clothes/sweats are pretty much my uniform. I try to at least put on decent looking athletic wear on these days if I need to go to the store or anything. I am definitely a t-shirt and hoodie type of gal. I even have what I call my "nice" hoodies. LOL. In the summer I am all for dresses though. When dressing up I would say classic with a little edge.

@hupp0013 I am exactly the same! PJ's are on within the first few minutes of arriving home...no matter what time of day it is
@zrain sorry for the BFN, and sorry about the jet lag, it sucks especially with those shifts! Hope your body catches up with itself soon.
@Songbirdinthecity I too have had an attack of the blemishes. The papercut tongue is a new one on me but hey if google says its a good sign I'd go with that too
@jedially85 sorry for the BFN, there is still time - good looking holding off for a couple of days, I know its tough.
@sandwichlover Sorry for the spotting, is your LP usually 10 days ish? Hopefully it doesnt mean CD1.
@britters314 Sorry for the temp drop, I didnt know FF could change your cover line going on temps after O, thats a new one on me. Very cool that you make your own clothes! I would LOVE to be able to do that.
@juliebeannn Glad you are getting over your cold and yay for high temps! I always think charts that dont look like previous charts are a good thing, especially if previous charts werent KU charts
Thanks so much @kfair001 its good to be back
@kellybean1988 sorry you are having such a confusing cycle, I have studied your chart and it's a tricky one. Going by temps I can see why FF might say CD13, but your CM says different. I cant remember if you mentioned it already but were you using OPK's too?
@virginiaham FX for tomorrow!!!! I am seriously impressed with your willpower to not test early - I'll be keeping an eye out for your update!
@zoey1019 sorry for the BFN
@beff12 It definitley is still possible to turn a test after 12dpo - FX for you
@Sparty18 Thanks!! Very happy to be back and so much sooner than I had thought. I am envious of your BSC free days, something went wrong with mine and they didnt happen this month. What is it with chart staring?? I do it too and I have no idea why. Its like I think if I look long enough the remainder of my TWW temps will magically appear showing me the path to either BFP or AF.
Congratulations! @Kristen627 H&H 9 months to you! - I need me some bird poop!
@atcwag Your temp is stil way up - FX for testing!!
@berkebaby sorry again for the sucky feels (((hugs)))
@juliehollz13 sorry you didnt get the results you wanted, I guess at least you know and they have put measures in place to fix it.
@ladystinson sorry for the fever and the O day confusion. I hope you start to feel better soon and that O was when you hope it was.
@20T what is with the bloat? Im sorry you have this too, I actually had trousers on at work yesterday that were not buttoned up - it was just too uncomfortable! I wore them with a long shirt so that (hopefully) you couldnt tell - needs must.
@mtvkv5 sorry for the BFN, although as you say, it is still early - FX for you!
Sorry for CD1 @CajunSnowWhite89
@queendaenerysT FX your temps stay up and O definitely happened on Sunday!! Your timing is great!
@queensunscreen Sorry you're having a confusing O - if it was O though your timing is good!
@sarahmsoda Yay for good SA results - thats awesome news!!
@namelessaria FX those cramps are a good sign!
@aurora1973 Im impressed with your will power!!! FX for testing on 11dpo!
@winchestergirl FX for peeing on sticks tomorrow!!
@adele85 sorry you were feeling sad yesterday too and sorry for the BFN at 10dpo - its still early for you FX.
@shwee25 hopefully those symptoms are the good kind!! Good luck for Friday! Also I am the same with the instant bra removal - I wish so much we could get away with no bra's all the time!
@totororyinlove Are you temping to confirm O? If you have your dates correct then CD24 would have been 3dpo which would be way to early for testing. If you did ovulate later than usual this month then your overall cycle will be longer than 31 days. Your LP doesnt shorten if you O late - it will be the same length as usual.
@mrsmcandrews TCOYF is a great read!!
@mrsBinPA I feel your pain with the testing tormet - I dont know whats worse, waiting for AF or seeing BFN. I thnk I have reached the stage were BFN's suck more but not enough to refrain from testing??!!
