R/R/CS: I'm in a bitter mood today. On top of the bfn we just booked in so's SA and couldn't get an appointment until May 10th. On top of the long wait that will fall right around O ruling that month out. We are going to have to pay to go private which just winds me up about the NHS even more.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
Testing: I originally said CD 10 but I have coworkers who want to do happy hour tomorrow. So it looks like I'll be testing in the am tomorrow. Then I'll probably do daily with cheapies until AF.
R/R/CS: BSC is officially in full swing. Yesterday I had a slight temp dip of about .3 from my post O temps that was still drastically above coverline, and then today my temp spiked to .3 above the temp from two days prior (.6 up from the dip day). Those are huge differences. And if that trend continues my chart is going to look seriously triphasic. Cue hopes that are now ridiculously too high.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I'm a Capricorn and I absolutely think it fits me. The basics are that I'm a logical data driven person who thrives on facts and reality and struggles with emotional connections. Right on point.
Testing: it took everything in my power not to test today. I work the next few days bit have Easter off. I need to test on my day off But I have a doctors appt tomorrow, and it would be great to tell them yes/no....
R/R/CS: SS like crazy.. And I work the next few days so that makes me upset. Lol. But I had a large temp spike today? Yay?
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I'm a Libra, and I do think it accurately describes me. I don't have time to detail why, post and ghost today! Work!
Me: 27 years old DH: 27 years old Type 1 Diabetes since 2001, MTHFR hetero A1298T Dogs: Raider 4 yrs, Dex 4 yrs
Married in July 2014
TTC #1 since late Feb 2016
BFP #1 3/29/16 MMC: 5/5/16 BFP #2 7/6/16 SCH, D&C 8/4/16 BFP #3 12/26/16 EDD: 9/6/17 My Chart / My Diabetes/Pregnancy Blog My Type 1/TTC/Pregnancy Podcast: Juicebox Podcast Episode 118 A1Cs: 1/12/16 6.7% 5/25/16 6.0% 11/2/16 6.1% 3/22/16 5.8% 4/27/17 5.4% 6/13/17 5.3% "Sugar Fancy Tutu"
Testing: 15DPO (on the off chance I actually make it that far)
R:R/CS: My temp dropped yet again (3rd day in a row) I didn't rely on my temps this cycle to pinpoint O since they were so rocky pre +OPK, but decided to keep temping after all because a) habit, b) data, and c) I'm waking up anyway at my usual temp time without an alarm (it's way too early). Anyway, I'm halfway convinced this cycle was anovulutory and about 95% convinced I'll be seeing AF earlier than expected. I'm even more interested, if possible, to hear what my recent blood work says now.
GTKY: I'm a Taurus, and it's pretty much spot on. I tend to be incredibly stubborn, methodical/persistent in my work life, have a strong temper once riled, and am fiercely loyal/protective of my family and the (few) close friends that I have.
R/R/CS: temp drop yesterday and an even larger one to below coverline today. I'm just waiting now. On to cycle 6 and wto - see you all never!! FX for some BFPs!!
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
I'm a Cancer and I think it's pretty much me.
Me - 30 DH - 36 Married 10/12/13 TTC #1 since 10/15 Chart!
Testing: Maybe this weekend. Still waiting to see how my temperatures play out over the next few days.
R/R/CS: My temps are still staying pretty consistent and haven't varied much since O. I'm hoping this is a good thing. We will see over the next few days!
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I am a scorpio and it fits me so well. A lot of times it's said they are mysterious, intense, and independent. I just did a quick search of characteristics to refresh my memory and reading it was just a bunch of "yup"s.

Testing: almost did this morning but didn't! I'll probably start on Friday with cheapies and test until AF.
R/R/CS: I'm SS like nobody's business over here. My temp stayed up this morning, and my boobs hurt like crazy. *TMI* Like, seriously, my nipples feel like they're on fire! Cue BSC.
GTKY: To be completely honest, I just had to google what my sign is. I'm a Capricorn. I've never really read much about astrology to know how accurate it is for me.
Me: 26, H: 28

Laparoscopy and Endometriosis dx February 2016
HSG and SA all clear! September 2016 Testing with RE October 2016 BFP 11/5/2016 ~ EDD 7/19/2016
@babymish So sorry for the BFN! And the SA timing. H's SA originally fell right in my predicted FW, but then I O'd way early, so maybe there is some hope!
Month/Cycle: 3/2 ATTC (11/6 NTNP)
CD/DPO: 25/9
Timing: -5, -2, -1, O
Testing: I had to waste my FMU this morning so I wouldn't test! Still want to wait and see what temps are doing on Saturday.
R/R/CS: H's SA is today. I'm nervous!!
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I had to spend some time looking up astrological signs this morning! I'm Aquarius, and some things seemed accurate, and others were way off.
Testing: Just waiting for AF, normally I'd be so ready for CD1 at this point, but the longer I get to hang out here the better chance we have of hitting maybe one day in the FW next cycle. I did test again this morning just to torture myself I guess.
R/R/CS: Carrie Underwood put on an awesome show last night, girl can saaaang. However, when she sang "What I Never Knew I Always Wanted" I ended up losing it. She wrote that song for her baby and before she sang it she was talking about how much her baby changed her life and how amazing it is and then while she sang the song all these ultrasound pictures and pictures of her baby were on the screens. I tried to hold it in, but I just couldn't. Pretty sure the people next to me thought I was just some crazy super fan, lol. Nope, just want a baby.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I'm a Libra. It describes some of my personality. I agree that I am diplomatic, adventurous, good with relationships, intuitive and indecisive. I do not agree with it saying I am easygoing and lazy; I can certainly be those things, but I wouldn't use them to describe my personality.
R/R/CS: I feel like AF is approaching and I'm just so sad and weepy lol. I've got no room to talk in comparison to others on this board, but I just really wanted it to be this month.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.? Leo, and yes. As you can tell, I'm pretty dramatic haha, but a lot of the other traits fit as well. I'm not really a believer though, but it's fun to think about.
ETA: @Sparty18 Omg now I KNOW I'm about to start AF--your story just made cry lol! I wouldn't have made it through the concert, but that sounds beautiful/like torture haha.
Testing: who knows, I will hold out until at least 8 or 9 DPO
R/R/CS: nothing much today. I am ready for spring and to get outside. This weather has been such a tease.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I am a capricorn and it definitely reflects in my personality. Very type "A"
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
CD/DPO: 59/0....anovulatory cycle. taking provera and waiting for AF to start.
Timing: N/A
Testing: Nope
R/R/CS: Feeling a bit bummed today about everything. Was OK until I logged onto FB and read this friend's status about how lucky she is to be pregnant because "fertility isn't easy for every woman" and yadda yadda. I know she has good intentions but it just felt like a bit of a smack in the face. Eh, maybe I'm being too sensitive. I'm in a limbo until AF arrives and I have my first RE appointment on April 1. Hopefully I like him and he's got a treatment plan I agree with!
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. Gemini, and only somewhat. Geminis are known to be witty, imaginative and clever, which I suppose I am on occasion, but they're also supposed to be fiercely independent and energetic, which I am not, really.
Testing: Already started with testing out my trigger shot (shot is out of my system now). I would love to have self control and not test endlessly but its just not in my nature.
R/R/CS: Long day ahead of work and meetings. Tired and hungry! I should have packed a snack. Had an acupuncture appointment yesterday. Nice to to have time to meditate around the idea of getting KU.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. Sagittarius - I think some people thought I was more the wild and free kinda person in my 20's/30's cause I was happy dating and they were all settling down and having 2 kids. People often call me a free spirit. Those people were cray cray lol. I am all about getting a full night sleep, enjoying time at home, etc.. Now they would probably call me a homebody which does not match the Sag way of life.

Got my CH this morning, so heading over here now! phew!
Month/Cycle: 8/8
CD:18/3
Timing: -3 -1 0
R/R/CS: Excited to see CH this morning and know that we had good timing this month. I am irrationally worried because I have my annual exam tomorrow and I feel like this will somehow interfere with the whole process that is hopefully going on in my body right now. I know this is crazy, but it is how I feel.
GTKY: I am a Cancer and I think it sums up my personality almost perfectly.
I've been in a break/lurking mode. The last two weeks I've lurked every day, but haven't been able to bring myself to post for whatever reason. Mostly because I've felt so so negative, and knew I couldn't offer any support to anyone. But today, I feel like I'm at a point of needing to get back into the swing of things, and be a part of a support community again. Hope you'll take me back!
@babymish, I'm sorry about needing the SA. That's our next step if we're not successful next cycle. It's a lot to process. Hugs!!
@Sugargirl1019, I tested at 6dpo this cycle. I'm right there with you in the BSC dept.
Agh, @Sparty18, that sounds rough. I'm glad the concert was good, but sorry that song hit so hard. Hugs!
@writeress, I get like that every single month. And every month it gets worse! Hugs!
Month/Cycle: 5
CD/DPO: 26/11 (Although I didn't temp during the WTO, so this is a guesstimate)
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing: every day since 6dpo, all BFN. I started temping after my suspected O because I couldn't handle not knowing what was happening. Major temp drop today, and expecting AF tomorrow.
R/R/CS: I don't know. I've been so bummed about this whole thing. I know it was super rare, but with DS we got pregnant the first month we tried, so I had realistic expectations going into TTC #2, I just never imagined it would be this trying.
GTKY: I'm a Capricorn, and honestly know almost nothing about it. I think it says we like to work a lot? Which is true for me. Maybe I'll Google it while I try to avoid homework...
@hurricaneamelia so ready to get outside as well! So over the cold and random snow. Get it together weather.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 23/5
Timing: -2, -1
Testing: in a week
R/R/CS: Full on BSC. All last night had very light cramping in lower center abdomen and I have slightly longer cycles so not near AF yet. Of course I am all "aahhhh maybe?" when I should really just ignore it and probably attribute it to something I ate or the ab workout the day before at yoga haha. One more week, letsssss go.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality? I am a Gemini and I think it describes me pretty spot on most of the time.
Testing: Probably starting on Friday, if I'm not spotting by then.
R/R/CS: My temp went up today, but I didn't sleep well and I temped an hour early. I'm feeling like I feel every month at this time, mildly crampy and like AF could start any second. It's too early for that, but who knows.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I'm a Libra, and I think I totally fit the bill. I'm diplomatic to a fault, I can't stand confrontation and will do anything to avoid it. I'm also extremely indecisive, it drives DH crazy.
DS: June 2008 Married: July 2015 BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
@sldp123 I hear ya on those specific Libra characteristics! @Heatho620 I hate that we now recognize all of these twinges that (typically) mean nothing. Where were they all the years before when I wasn't TTC? lol @wineo929 Glad to have you back, sorry you have been having a rough time. Hugs. @PepperAT Welcome back to this side! @BecauseLove Haha love your analysis of the people that thought you were a free spirit. @sammajane19 I'm glad your RE appointment is coming up! Also, FB is the worst while TTC. @HurricaneAmelia I'm with you, I'm so ready for actual spring weather. @writeress Sorry to make you cry with my story lol. @houseofsetters Yay SA day! FX for you, update us! @pretzel2plus1 Nice willpower! I hope your fire symptoms mean something lol. @l9i Crossing my fingers for you and those consistent temps! @QueenSunscreen Sorry that you're also waiting on AF, we can do the sad walk back to WTO together. @H4aPartyof5 Sorry for your temp struggles, I hope your blood work can provide some answers. @Sugargirl1019 Good job not testing today, fellow Libra. @aliciabhen FX for that good chart pattern! @babymish So sorry for the BFN again and for the difficulties scheduling the SA. I hope it all works out.
@houseofsetters good luck to your DH on his SA today! @babymish sorry to hear about your DH SA timing. Hopefully you O a little earlier or later so you can still have a shot that cycle. @H4aPartyof5 sorry about your crazy cycle this month. @sparty18 I love Carrie Underwood. Your post made me all teary! I probably would've lost it too! @sammajane19 so sorry to hear you had an anovulatory cycle! FX for AF to come soon and good luck with your RE appointment!!
Month/Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: -1
Testing: Didn't test this morning after yesterday's BFN. I'll probably wait til Saturday, they day AF is due.
R/R/CS: I feel like I'm out this cycle - I woke up this morning feeling 100% normal and free of all the "symptoms" that made me go nutso the last week. I guess I'll take it. Hopefully, the pseudo-symptoms stay away. I'm finding that the second half the TWW, I get really cranky. I spend the 45 min commute home yesterday yelling at all the stupid drivers around me. Haha. The BSC thinks it means I'm KTFU, but it's probably just me being super antsy and annoyed that two weeks can feel sooooo loonnngggggg. Today's a better day. It's also supposed to reach 70 and sunny today! Yay!
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I'm a Sagittarius. Honestly, I had to google to figure out what that meant haha. I'm seeing adjectives like "philosophical", "gregarious", and "restless". Definitely not. But I also see "independent", "straight forward" and "unemotional", which are spot-on. Overall, doesn't sound like a good match.

@babymish Sorry about BFN and doctors having long waits
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 26/7
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing: Going to probably start ICs on Friday
R/R/CS: OH woke up super early this morning and it woke me up so I took my temp 2 hours earlier than normal and it was below cover line. I retook it when I woke up again 2 hours later and it was slightly above cover line but... not by much. Either way, I decided to discard it since I wasn't well-rested either time and also I was sleeping with my retainer in and when I do that, I tend to sleep with my mouth open. Kind of wish I had started this cycle off with vaginal temping. I started doing that shortly before Oing this cycle and have been really happy with how stable it is. My temp there has been hovering around 99.3 since I Oed so I'm not too worried about the low oral temps
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
On the very cusp of Virgo and Libra (Sept 22). I've always identified more with Virgo since I'm very detail-oriented and kind of a perfectionist.
@Sparty18 ugh, sorry about that song! You would think a
concert would be a safe place, haha. Fx that you can stick around here a couple
more days so you can have good timing next month!
@writeress sorry you’re feeling sad and weepy, I’m right
there with you today.
@HurricaneAmelia I agree, bring on spring! We keep getting
tastes of it, then snow and cold.
@sammajane19 hope you have a good appointment and come up
with a plan that works for you.
@wineo929 welcome back! I know what you mean, I got pregnant
with my DS right after coming off HBC and without really “trying”, but that was
8 years ago. I had no idea how draining this process would be.

Creepy internet hugs to everyone who needs it today... this seems to be a hard week/cycle for a lot of us
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 25/11 or 3
Timing: -2, +1, +4 or -4, -1, O, +1
Testing: WTH knows. I have twice BFN's so I'm waiting now to see if my temps stay up
R/R/CS: same old same old. confused and ready to either get a bfp or CD1 so we can start fresh. This cycle is weird and sucky...
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I'm a gemini, so is DH. It fits both of us pretty well which is very interesting with 2 of us in the house lol

Not preventing since 11/15 EDD 5/8/18 Adjusted 5/15/18 TTC since 1/1/16 9/27/17 we have a heart beat!
Testing: Easter Sunday... which is taking an obnoxious amount of time to get here.
R/R/CS: I'm finding that this process is especially trying when you have celiac disease and endo - literally everything in life gives me stomach "cramping' and now I have the pleasure of overanalyzing ALL of it. Today I promised myself to focus on work and not obsess about what's happening in my body... yeah, we'll see how long I make it. A curse of being the boss is that I can shut my office door and fall endlessly into the trap of Google for hours.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I'm a Gemini and the most true thing I've read is "A Gemini is a cross between a drunk and a genius." - Yep that pretty much sums it up for me.
Timing: -5, -2,-1,+1. i thought i did excellent until i read all of yours. Not bad though.
Testing: like i said yesterday it's going to be rough because im due for AF the day after we leave for vacation to NYC. I don't know what to do. I am probably going to test a few days before we leave so i have a few days to wrap my head around any result. I just dont want my vacation ruined with a BFN.
R/R/CS: i hate when people ask me when we are going to have kids. Its NONE of their business. Given weve been trying for only 1 month (+1NTNP) how do they know we haven't been trying and are struggling? Its a personal question i never ask unless they bring it up first. I'm tired of being asked that also dont want to say whats really on my mind. Wish i could say "mind your own businesses" but instead i shrug and say "maybe someday" and change the topic.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. ♊ Gemini. And i don't really follow astrology so i don't know what it says about my personality.
R/R/CS: Still trying to keep my cool this week, and not SS too much, but that's basically impossible. So anxious for Saturday to test.
DH has high blood pressure and takes medication to regulate it (He eats very well and exercises and is generally in great health, he's just always had high BP ever since he was a kid. His mom has it too). He has a check up with his doctor tomorrow, and I've asked him to bring up that we're TTC. I've read a little bit online that it can cause ED, and although DH doesn't have that problem, I still think it's worth bringing up to the doctor. DH thinks that because he's on medication, high BP isn't a problem for him. My view is that he only has normal blood pressure readings because he's on medication, so therefore, the medication/BP could be a problem. And we just went round and round on that. See below, we're both Taurus's, if that gives you any insight lol.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I'm a Taurus. And I think it pretty well describes me. DH is also a Taurus, and that can definitely make for some pretty intense arguments between two stubborn people.
Me: 28 | DH: 31 Together since 2006 | Married May 2015 TTC #1 since November 2015 BFP 5/17/16 | EDD 1/27/17 | Born 2/4/17
CD/DPO: 25/7 You'd think I could remember this from day to day...but I have to check FF every time...
Timing: -4, -2, -1, +1
Testing: No real plans yet. Maybe Easter.
R/R/CS: So. Tired. I tend to get insomnia around this point in my cycle. I deal with about 4-5 days of that and then 4-5 days of sleeping as much as my life will allow. It's super annoying. And makes me grumpy. Trying to keep my mind busy on other things so I don't try to SS. So far, so good.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I'm a Scorpio, but I'm not all that familiar with what that means exactly.

Testing: Holding out for 3/31. That would be one day before AF shows up.
R/R/CS: Trying my hardest not to SS, since I know it could definitely also mean AF is coming. Also trying not to think about baby names.................. which is damn near impossible.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I am a Libra, and it definitely describes my personality. I love the finer things, (even though I can't always afford them) I am extremely diplomatic, and can see all sides of a situation, and I like to think I'm a great friend/do well with relationships.
Me: 33 DH: 36 Together since 2007 Happily Ever After 4.30.2015 ~~One Beautiful Daughter~~ Born: 11.6.2017 Trying for #2!!
R/R/CS: FX that the EPO I was taking this month made a difference. Anyone want to bet my CH will change in a couple days? Right now they are dotted on CD13 but based on my CM and temps, I think CD15 is more accurate. Chart.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. Aquarius - It really depends. They are sometimes described as quiet, reserved, needing time for themselves, intellectual, independent, and seeking to help others, all of which are pretty fitting for me. I have always been drawn to water, and could never imagine living without a lake nearby, so being a "water-bearer" is appropriate. Can we do the Chinese zodiac tomorrow? I am so much more a Tiger

@pretzel2plus1 Man that SS sounds exactly like mine. I've had it since 6DPO and it has NEVER started this early for me. I know it most likely means nothing but I can't help but to obsess.
@sldp23 I know! I was hoping to hold off cause once you start it's impossible to stop. Thank you!
@Sparty18 Oh man, I would have cried too and I'm just barely starting my TTC journey. FX that CD1 holds off so your timing can be good next cycle!
@writeress I'm not really a big believer in my signs either, but it's crazy how true some of the traits are.
@HurricaneAmelia I agree! Spring needs to get here ASAP. I'm wearing a maxi dress and sandals hoping if I dress like it's spring then it'll feel like spring. That's totally how it works right? PS~My toes are FREEZING!
@sammajane19 I saw a picture of someone's pregnancy test on FB this morning and it immediately put me in a bad mood. It seems like I'm seeing them everytime I open up my feed. FX for your RE appt!
@BecauseLove How do you like acupuncture? My MIL does it and goes on and on about it. I kind of discredit anything she says because she will go with any fad and is so extreme in her reviews (it's either the BEST things ever or the WORST thing ever and she about died). But I've seen so many women on this board doing it that it has got me curious.
@Heatho620 Good luck with the BSC. Mine is starting to rear its ugly head, but so far I've kicked it away.
@sldp123 I'm 7dpo today too and I've been feeling super bloated and crampy like AF is going to start, even though its not due for at least another week. I was like that last month too. Why do our bodies do this to us??
@juliebeannn Sorry for the BFN yesterday. Hope the weather cheers you up! 70* sounds amazing!
@canavara Not going to lie...the first time I heard about temping I just assumed it was always orally. Had no idea there was another option. I may have giggle a little.
@ladystinson Sorry for a confusing cycle. Loving the gifs though!
@AMGreely Sunday is taking forever!! I decided the other day that I would possibly test on Easter Sunday and it feels like I made that decision a week ago!
@KarliQ88 I have grown to hate that question too. *possible TW: kids* My boys are 7 and 4 and apparently I should have had another one according to some people and others are saying things like "Oh you're done having kids, right?" like I shouldn't have any more. Can't please everyone and sometimes you can't please anyone. *end TW*
@Lecool That sounds like an argument I would have with DH. He's a Taurus too. It can't hurt to bring it up to the doctor and it would at least ease your mind.
@thj101 I've been bugging DH about baby names for the past 6 months when we started NTNP. He usually looks at me funny and then gives in. Glad I'm not the only one.
@ReesaAnne16 Chinese zodiac! That'd be interesting.
Back later hopefully for more comments!

R/R/CS: Another temp dip, which took away my CH. Pretty sure this cycle is anovulatory, which is new to me. I had all the signs of FW but not a good temp rise/shift. I'm really frustrated because this was our best timing so far. Not sure what to do at this point. I'm hoping my temps are all wonky from the time change or me being sick before FW. I have never seen a OBGYN doc before, is it too early to start seeing one, even just to get reassurance and not necessarily any treatment?
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I don't believe in astrology. I was supposedly a Sag. Then, a few years ago I read that they found a new sign so I'm actually Ophiuchus? lol
So sorry I didn't get to reply to everyone. I tried my best, but now my computer is being slow and not cooperating.
@KarliQ88 I really hate when people ask me that question too. Hope you enjoy your vacation! @Lecool FX for you this weekend! @sammajane19 sorry about your friend's status, I'm sure she had good intentions but sometimes things are better left unsaid. @HurricaneAmelia I'm ready for Spring too. We may be getting snow tonight . @writeress hope AF doesn't show her face! FX @Sparty18 love Carrie Underwood, glad you had fun at the concert! @houseofsetters hope everything goes well with the SA! @pretzel2plus1 darn that SS! Nice willpower! @l9i FX that your temps stay up there! @QueenSunscreen sorry for the BFN and impending CD1. @H4aPartyof5 I'm in the same boat. Temps are rocky and low @Sugargirl1019 hopefully you can hold off testing a couple more days! FX @aliciabhen FX for you tomorrow! @babymish sorry for BFN! hopefully he can get in sooner for the SA.
R/R/CS: My low post-O temps were really stressing me out, so no more temping for me during this TWW. I'm just keeping an eye on CM/CP.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. Another Gemini here, and it does, except for the parts about Geminis being outgoing and big communicators. I'm an introvert and have a really hard time expressing myself sometimes.
DD born PPROM preemie at 36 weeks on 10/1/17 after over a year TI, then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW, because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
R/R/CS: Pretty sure I am out. I was super hopeful since my temps have stayed up and all. AF should be here Friday or Saturday so just chilling in limbo.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
Aquarius. I don't think it's very accurate. But what do I know.
writeress I am sorry! I know how it feels Hugs! HurricaneAmelia looks like we are on a a similar timeline of waiting.

Timing: awesome until CD 20....like, only missed 4 non-AF days from CD1 until CD20....for nothing
Testing: @Heatho620my resolve yesterday came down to nothing, sorry to disappoint you! Last night I was feeling like AF was coming and a super cute baby was at Bible Study, and then I had a dream that I had a BFN and then my mom was like "no, you're just reading the test wrong, it's a BFP!" and then my alarm woke me up and no spotting, so I broke down and tested this AM. BFN. So, @Sparty18, it IS a good thing you brought me down to reality just in the nick of time yesterday ...I feel like I was less crushed than I would have been. I'll test again if AF doesn't actually make an appearance, but I'm pretty sure tomorrow will be CD1 since I spotted today and it usually goes like that 6 month slump, here I come!
R/R/CS: See above...BUT, we are hosting a travelling friend right now, and she made an awesome dinner for us when we got home late from parent teacher conferences tonight, so that was super sweet....she has no clue how much I needed some love today! And there is only one more day of work and then my bff comes for our week off

Testing: If AF arrives on schedule, then... well I'll guess I'll know. If not, guess I'll consider it. Trying not to get too far ahead of myself.
R/R/CS: Because CD1 was on March 1st, by CD's have lined up with the date all month. My somewhat OCD personality likes the harmonization, plus it's been super easy to keep track of. Unless AF is 3 days later than usual (which would be bad for my nerves at this point), that won't happen again for April. Or, I'm KTFU and it's irrelevant, but I highly highly doubt that I am at this point.
Have I made you all think I'm crazy yet?

@MelissaM090 you're totes not crazy! Last month, my CD1 was on Feb 20th. So because of Feb 29 this year, CD11 was Mar 1, CD12 Mar 2, CD13 Mar 3, so on and so forth. It made it SO MUCH EASIER for me to remember CD and I loved it! This month CD1 was also March 20, but it's gonna be all messed up thanks to there being 31 days in March. Boo. lol

R/R/CS: I'm in a bitter mood today. On top of the bfn we just booked in so's SA and couldn't get an appointment until May 10th. On top of the long wait that will fall right around O ruling that month out. We are going to have to pay to go private which just winds me up about the NHS even more.

Gemini - I think it does sum me up pretty well.
TEAM: PINK!!
CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, 0
Testing: I originally said CD 10 but I have coworkers who want to do happy hour tomorrow. So it looks like I'll be testing in the am tomorrow. Then I'll probably do daily with cheapies until AF.
R/R/CS: BSC is officially in full swing. Yesterday I had a slight temp dip of about .3 from my post O temps that was still drastically above coverline, and then today my temp spiked to .3 above the temp from two days prior (.6 up from the dip day). Those are huge differences. And if that trend continues my chart is going to look seriously triphasic. Cue hopes that are now ridiculously too high.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
I'm a Capricorn and I absolutely think it fits me. The basics are that I'm a logical data driven person who thrives on facts and reality and struggles with emotional connections. Right on point.

R:R/CS: My temp dropped yet again (3rd day in a row) I didn't rely on my temps this cycle to pinpoint O since they were so rocky pre +OPK, but decided to keep temping after all because a) habit, b) data, and c) I'm waking up anyway at my usual temp time without an alarm (it's way too early). Anyway, I'm halfway convinced this cycle was anovulutory and about 95% convinced I'll be seeing AF earlier than expected. I'm even more interested, if possible, to hear what my recent blood work says now.
GTKY: I'm a Taurus, and it's pretty much spot on. I tend to be incredibly stubborn, methodical/persistent in my work life, have a strong temper once riled, and am fiercely loyal/protective of my family and the (few) close friends that I have.
DH: 36⎹ Me: 36

GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
I'm a Cancer and I think it's pretty much me.

Month/Cycle: 5/2 *TTCAL*
CD/DPO: 26/7
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1
Testing: Maybe this weekend. Still waiting to see how my temperatures play out over the next few days.
R/R/CS: My temps are still staying pretty consistent and haven't varied much since O. I'm hoping this is a good thing. We will see over the next few days!
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I am a scorpio and it fits me so well. A lot of times it's said they are mysterious, intense, and independent. I just did a quick search of characteristics to refresh my memory and reading it was just a bunch of "yup"s.
TTC since November 2015
BFP #1 12/17/15 - MC 1/28/16
BFP #2 4/22/16 - EDD 12/30/16
@aliciabhen Your chart sounds promising! FX!
Month/Cycle: 8/7
CD/DPO: 39/8
Timing: -4, -3, -2, O, +1
Testing: almost did this morning but didn't! I'll probably start on Friday with cheapies and test until AF.
R/R/CS: I'm SS like nobody's business over here. My temp stayed up this morning, and my boobs hurt like crazy. *TMI* Like, seriously, my nipples feel like they're on fire! Cue BSC.
GTKY: To be completely honest, I just had to google what my sign is. I'm a Capricorn. I've never really read much about astrology to know how accurate it is for me.
**TW**
Testing with RE October 2016
BFP 11/5/2016 ~ EDD 7/19/2016
Month/Cycle: 3/2 ATTC (11/6 NTNP)
CD/DPO: 25/9
Timing: -5, -2, -1, O
Testing: I had to waste my FMU this morning so I wouldn't test! Still want to wait and see what temps are doing on Saturday.
R/R/CS: H's SA is today. I'm nervous!!
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
I had to spend some time looking up astrological signs this morning! I'm Aquarius, and some things seemed accurate, and others were way off.
CD/DPO: 26/13
Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,+1
Testing: Just waiting for AF, normally I'd be so ready for CD1 at this point, but the longer I get to hang out here the better chance we have of hitting maybe one day in the FW next cycle. I did test again this morning just to torture myself I guess.
R/R/CS: Carrie Underwood put on an awesome show last night, girl can saaaang. However, when she sang "What I Never Knew I Always Wanted" I ended up losing it. She wrote that song for her baby and before she sang it she was talking about how much her baby changed her life and how amazing it is and then while she sang the song all these ultrasound pictures and pictures of her baby were on the screens. I tried to hold it in, but I just couldn't. Pretty sure the people next to me thought I was just some crazy super fan, lol. Nope, just want a baby.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
I'm a Libra. It describes some of my personality. I agree that I am diplomatic, adventurous, good with relationships, intuitive and indecisive. I do not agree with it saying I am easygoing and lazy; I can certainly be those things, but I wouldn't use them to describe my personality.
CD/DPO: 24/unknown
Timing: okay
Testing: maybe tomorrow...
R/R/CS: I feel like AF is approaching and I'm just so sad and weepy lol. I've got no room to talk in comparison to others on this board, but I just really wanted it to be this month.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.? Leo, and yes. As you can tell, I'm pretty dramatic haha, but a lot of the other traits fit as well. I'm not really a believer though, but it's fun to think about.
ETA: @Sparty18 Omg now I KNOW I'm about to start AF--your story just made cry lol! I wouldn't have made it through the concert, but that sounds beautiful/like torture haha.
CD/DPO: 34/2
Timing: -2,-1,0
Testing: who knows, I will hold out until at least 8 or 9 DPO
R/R/CS: nothing much today. I am ready for spring and to get outside. This weather has been such a tease.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I am a capricorn and it definitely reflects in my personality. Very type "A"
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
CD/DPO: 59/0....anovulatory cycle. taking provera and waiting for AF to start.
Timing: N/A
Testing: Nope
R/R/CS: Feeling a bit bummed today about everything. Was OK until I logged onto FB and read this friend's status about how lucky she is to be pregnant because "fertility isn't easy for every woman" and yadda yadda. I know she has good intentions but it just felt like a bit of a smack in the face. Eh, maybe I'm being too sensitive.
I'm in a limbo until AF arrives and I have my first RE appointment on April 1. Hopefully I like him and he's got a treatment plan I agree with!
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. Gemini, and only somewhat. Geminis are known to be witty, imaginative and clever, which I suppose I am on occasion, but they're also supposed to be fiercely independent and energetic, which I am not, really.

Testing: Already started with testing out my trigger shot (shot is out of my system now). I would love to have self control and not test endlessly but its just not in my nature.
R/R/CS: Long day ahead of work and meetings. Tired and hungry! I should have packed a snack. Had an acupuncture appointment yesterday. Nice to to have time to meditate around the idea of getting KU.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
Sagittarius - I think some people thought I was more the wild and free kinda person in my 20's/30's cause I was happy dating and they were all settling down and having 2 kids. People often call me a free spirit. Those people were cray cray lol. I am all about getting a full night sleep, enjoying time at home, etc.. Now they would probably call me a homebody which does not match the Sag way of life.

TTC#1: Aug 2015
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5e3072
I've been in a break/lurking mode. The last two weeks I've lurked every day, but haven't been able to bring myself to post for whatever reason. Mostly because I've felt so so negative, and knew I couldn't offer any support to anyone. But today, I feel like I'm at a point of needing to get back into the swing of things, and be a part of a support community again. Hope you'll take me back!
@babymish, I'm sorry about needing the SA. That's our next step if we're not successful next cycle. It's a lot to process. Hugs!!
@Sugargirl1019, I tested at 6dpo this cycle. I'm right there with you in the BSC dept.
Sorry about the impending CD1, @QueenSunscreen
Good luck with the SA today, @houseofsetters
Agh, @Sparty18, that sounds rough. I'm glad the concert was good, but sorry that song hit so hard. Hugs!
@writeress, I get like that every single month. And every month it gets worse! Hugs!
Month/Cycle: 5
CD/DPO: 26/11 (Although I didn't temp during the WTO, so this is a guesstimate)
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing: every day since 6dpo, all BFN. I started temping after my suspected O because I couldn't handle not knowing what was happening. Major temp drop today, and expecting AF tomorrow.
R/R/CS: I don't know. I've been so bummed about this whole thing. I know it was super rare, but with DS we got pregnant the first month we tried, so I had realistic expectations going into TTC #2, I just never imagined it would be this trying.
GTKY: I'm a Capricorn, and honestly know almost nothing about it. I think it says we like to work a lot? Which is true for me. Maybe I'll Google it while I try to avoid homework...
@aliciabhen BSC in full swing over here too haha. Hang in there!
@pretzel2plus1 FX'd crossed for you!!
@hurricaneamelia so ready to get outside as well! So over the cold and random snow. Get it together weather.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 23/5
Timing: -2, -1
Testing: in a week
R/R/CS: Full on BSC. All last night had very light cramping in lower center abdomen and I have slightly longer cycles so not near AF yet. Of course I am all "aahhhh maybe?" when I should really just ignore it and probably attribute it to something I ate or the ab workout the day before at yoga haha. One more week, letsssss go.

R/R/CS: My temp went up today, but I didn't sleep well and I temped an hour early. I'm feeling like I feel every month at this time, mildly crampy and like AF could start any second. It's too early for that, but who knows.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.

@wineo929 Glad to have you back, sorry you have been having a rough time. Hugs.
@PepperAT Welcome back to this side!
@BecauseLove Haha love your analysis of the people that thought you were a free spirit.
@sammajane19 I'm glad your RE appointment is coming up! Also, FB is the worst while TTC.
@HurricaneAmelia I'm with you, I'm so ready for actual spring weather.
@writeress Sorry to make you cry with my story lol.
@houseofsetters Yay SA day! FX for you, update us!
@pretzel2plus1 Nice willpower! I hope your fire symptoms mean something lol.
@l9i Crossing my fingers for you and those consistent temps!
@QueenSunscreen Sorry that you're also waiting on AF, we can do the sad walk back to WTO together.
@H4aPartyof5 Sorry for your temp struggles, I hope your blood work can provide some answers.
@Sugargirl1019 Good job not testing today, fellow Libra.
@aliciabhen FX for that good chart pattern!
@babymish So sorry for the BFN again and for the difficulties scheduling the SA. I hope it all works out.
@babymish sorry to hear about your DH SA timing. Hopefully you O a little earlier or later so you can still have a shot that cycle.
@H4aPartyof5 sorry about your crazy cycle this month.
@sparty18 I love Carrie Underwood. Your post made me all teary! I probably would've lost it too! @sammajane19 so sorry to hear you had an anovulatory cycle! FX for AF to come soon and good luck with your RE appointment!!
Month/Cycle: 2
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: -1
Testing: Didn't test this morning after yesterday's BFN. I'll probably wait til Saturday, they day AF is due.
R/R/CS: I feel like I'm out this cycle - I woke up this morning feeling 100% normal and free of all the "symptoms" that made me go nutso the last week. I guess I'll take it. Hopefully, the pseudo-symptoms stay away. I'm finding that the second half the TWW, I get really cranky. I spend the 45 min commute home yesterday yelling at all the stupid drivers around me. Haha. The BSC thinks it means I'm KTFU, but it's probably just me being super antsy and annoyed that two weeks can feel sooooo loonnngggggg. Today's a better day. It's also supposed to reach 70 and sunny today! Yay!
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
I'm a Sagittarius. Honestly, I had to google to figure out what that meant haha. I'm seeing adjectives like "philosophical", "gregarious", and "restless". Definitely not. But I also see "independent", "straight forward" and "unemotional", which are spot-on. Overall, doesn't sound like a good match.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 26/7
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing: Going to probably start ICs on Friday
R/R/CS: OH woke up super early this morning and it woke me up so I took my temp 2 hours earlier than normal and it was below cover line. I retook it when I woke up again 2 hours later and it was slightly above cover line but... not by much. Either way, I decided to discard it since I wasn't well-rested either time and also I was sleeping with my retainer in and when I do that, I tend to sleep with my mouth open. Kind of wish I had started this cycle off with vaginal temping. I started doing that shortly before Oing this cycle and have been really happy with how stable it is. My temp there has been hovering around 99.3 since I Oed so I'm not too worried about the low oral temps
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
On the very cusp of Virgo and Libra (Sept 22). I've always identified more with Virgo since I'm very detail-oriented and kind of a perfectionist.
@babymish sorry for the BFN, and the timing of the SA. Is there any chance of getting in sooner?
@aliciabhen once you “break the seal” of testing, it’s hard to stop, haha. GL tomorrow!
@H4aPartyof5 hope your blood work gives you some insight.
@QueenSunscreen sorry about the temp drop and pending CD1.
@l9i Fx that your steady temps are a good sign!
@pretzel2plus1 way to go on not testing! As the days go on it gets hard to resist.
@houseofsetters Fx for good SA results!
@Sparty18 ugh, sorry about that song! You would think a concert would be a safe place, haha. Fx that you can stick around here a couple more days so you can have good timing next month!
@writeress sorry you’re feeling sad and weepy, I’m right there with you today.
@HurricaneAmelia I agree, bring on spring! We keep getting tastes of it, then snow and cold.
@sammajane19 hope you have a good appointment and come up with a plan that works for you.
@PepperAT yay for CHs and good timing!
@wineo929 welcome back! I know what you mean, I got pregnant with my DS right after coming off HBC and without really “trying”, but that was 8 years ago. I had no idea how draining this process would be.

Testing: Easter Sunday... which is taking an obnoxious amount of time to get here.
R/R/CS: I'm finding that this process is especially trying when you have celiac disease and endo - literally everything in life gives me stomach "cramping' and now I have the pleasure of overanalyzing ALL of it. Today I promised myself to focus on work and not obsess about what's happening in my body... yeah, we'll see how long I make it. A curse of being the boss is that I can shut my office door and fall endlessly into the trap of Google for hours.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
I'm a Gemini and the most true thing I've read is "A Gemini is a cross between a drunk and a genius." - Yep that pretty much sums it up for me.
CD/DPO: 17/3
Timing: -5, -2,-1,+1. i thought i did excellent until i read all of yours. Not bad though.
Testing: like i said yesterday it's going to be rough because im due for AF the day after we leave for vacation to NYC. I don't know what to do. I am probably going to test a few days before we leave so i have a few days to wrap my head around any result. I just dont want my vacation ruined with a BFN.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
♊ Gemini. And i don't really follow astrology so i don't know what it says about my personality.
@QueenSunscreen Sorry about CD1
@houseofsetters FX that your H's SA gives you guys answers!
@Sparty18 Glad the concert was awesome, but I'm sorry that you lost it. I would have totally gotten emotional over that too.
@wineo929 Welcome back!
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 23/7
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing: Saturday @ 10DPO
R/R/CS: Still trying to keep my cool this week, and not SS too much, but that's basically impossible. So anxious for Saturday to test.
DH has high blood pressure and takes medication to regulate it (He eats very well and exercises and is generally in great health, he's just always had high BP ever since he was a kid. His mom has it too). He has a check up with his doctor tomorrow, and I've asked him to bring up that we're TTC. I've read a little bit online that it can cause ED, and although DH doesn't have that problem, I still think it's worth bringing up to the doctor. DH thinks that because he's on medication, high BP isn't a problem for him. My view is that he only has normal blood pressure readings because he's on medication, so therefore, the medication/BP could be a problem. And we just went round and round on that. See below, we're both Taurus's, if that gives you any insight lol.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
I'm a Taurus. And I think it pretty well describes me. DH is also a Taurus, and that can definitely make for some pretty intense arguments between two stubborn people.

Timing: -4, -2, -1, +1
Testing: No real plans yet. Maybe Easter.
R/R/CS: So. Tired. I tend to get insomnia around this point in my cycle. I deal with about 4-5 days of that and then 4-5 days of sleeping as much as my life will allow. It's super annoying. And makes me grumpy. Trying to keep my mind busy on other things so I don't try to SS. So far, so good.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I'm a Scorpio, but I'm not all that familiar with what that means exactly.

R/R/CS: FX that the EPO I was taking this month made a difference. Anyone want to bet my CH will change in a couple days? Right now they are dotted on CD13 but based on my CM and temps, I think CD15 is more accurate. Chart.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
Aquarius - It really depends. They are sometimes described as quiet, reserved, needing time for themselves, intellectual, independent, and seeking to help others, all of which are pretty fitting for me.
I have always been drawn to water, and could never imagine living without a lake nearby, so being a "water-bearer" is appropriate.
Can we do the Chinese zodiac tomorrow? I am so much more a Tiger

Chart!
@sldp23 I know! I was hoping to hold off cause once you start it's impossible to stop. Thank you!
@heatho620 It's so tough to keep the BSC away!
@sparty18 Fingers crossed you can stick around for a while longer so your timing for next month will be better!!
@wineo929 Welcome back!!
@pepperat Yay for CH!!
@houseofsetters Good luck to you and your DH on the SA!
@l9i FX that consistent chart pattern means something good!
@sugargirl1019 FX that temp spike stays elevates!
@babymish Sorry for the bad news about the wait for a SA : (

@babymish Sorry for BFN and for next month maybe being out.
*creepy internet hugs*
@aliciabhen FX for testing tomorrow!
@Sugargirl1019 your rabbit gif seriously makes me smile every time I see it.
@H4aPartyof5 DH is a Taurus too and that pretty much describes him!
@QueenSunscreen Sorry for CD1. *hugs*
@l9i I'm a scorpio too! I just googled the traits (hadn't really looked before) and I did the same thing you did...yep. yep. yep. yep.
@pretzel2plus1 your timing looks awesome! FX for testing.
@houseofsetters Hope everything goes ok with H's SA today!
@Sparty18 Oh man, I would have cried too and I'm just barely starting my TTC journey. FX that CD1 holds off so your timing can be good next cycle!
@writeress I'm not really a big believer in my signs either, but it's crazy how true some of the traits are.
@HurricaneAmelia I agree! Spring needs to get here ASAP. I'm wearing a maxi dress and sandals hoping if I dress like it's spring then it'll feel like spring. That's totally how it works right? PS~My toes are FREEZING!
@sammajane19 I saw a picture of someone's pregnancy test on FB this morning and it immediately put me in a bad mood. It seems like I'm seeing them everytime I open up my feed. FX for your RE appt!
@BecauseLove How do you like acupuncture? My MIL does it and goes on and on about it. I kind of discredit anything she says because she will go with any fad and is so extreme in her reviews (it's either the BEST things ever or the WORST thing ever and she about died). But I've seen so many women on this board doing it that it has got me curious.
@PepperAT Nice to see you over here!
@wineo929 Welcome back!
Sorry for pending AF. 
@Heatho620 Good luck with the BSC. Mine is starting to rear its ugly head, but so far I've kicked it away.
@sldp123 I'm 7dpo today too and I've been feeling super bloated and crampy like AF is going to start, even though its not due for at least another week. I was like that last month too. Why do our bodies do this to us??
@juliebeannn Sorry for the BFN yesterday. Hope the weather cheers you up! 70* sounds amazing!
@canavara Not going to lie...the first time I heard about temping I just assumed it was always orally. Had no idea there was another option. I may have giggle a little.
@ladystinson Sorry for a confusing cycle. Loving the gifs though!
@AMGreely Sunday is taking forever!! I decided the other day that I would possibly test on Easter Sunday and it feels like I made that decision a week ago!
@KarliQ88 I have grown to hate that question too. *possible TW: kids* My boys are 7 and 4 and apparently I should have had another one according to some people and others are saying things like "Oh you're done having kids, right?" like I shouldn't have any more. Can't please everyone and sometimes you can't please anyone. *end TW*
@Lecool That sounds like an argument I would have with DH. He's a Taurus too. It can't hurt to bring it up to the doctor and it would at least ease your mind.
@thj101 I've been bugging DH about baby names for the past 6 months when we started NTNP. He usually looks at me funny and then gives in. Glad I'm not the only one.
@ReesaAnne16 Chinese zodiac! That'd be interesting.

CD/DPO: 22/?
Timing: -4, -3, -2, 0, +1
Testing: Not sure
R/R/CS: Another temp dip, which took away my CH. Pretty sure this cycle is anovulatory, which is new to me. I had all the signs of FW but not a good temp rise/shift. I'm really frustrated because this was our best timing so far. Not sure what to do at this point. I'm hoping my temps are all wonky from the time change or me being sick before FW. I have never seen a OBGYN doc before, is it too early to start seeing one, even just to get reassurance and not necessarily any treatment?
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
I don't believe in astrology. I was supposedly a Sag. Then, a few years ago I read that they found a new sign so I'm actually Ophiuchus? lol
@KarliQ88 I really hate when people ask me that question too. Hope you enjoy your vacation!
@Lecool FX for you this weekend!
@sammajane19 sorry about your friend's status, I'm sure she had good intentions but sometimes things are better left unsaid.
@HurricaneAmelia I'm ready for Spring too. We may be getting snow tonight
@writeress hope AF doesn't show her face! FX
@Sparty18 love Carrie Underwood, glad you had fun at the concert!
@houseofsetters hope everything goes well with the SA!
@pretzel2plus1 darn that SS! Nice willpower!
@l9i FX that your temps stay up there!
@QueenSunscreen sorry for the BFN and impending CD1.
@H4aPartyof5 I'm in the same boat. Temps are rocky and low
@Sugargirl1019 hopefully you can hold off testing a couple more days! FX
@aliciabhen FX for you tomorrow!
@babymish sorry for BFN! hopefully he can get in sooner for the SA.
CD/DPO: 23/4
Timing: -2, 0
Testing: Nope
R/R/CS: My low post-O temps were really stressing me out, so no more temping for me during this TWW. I'm just keeping an eye on CM/CP.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality. Another Gemini here, and it does, except for the parts about Geminis being outgoing and big communicators. I'm an introvert and have a really hard time expressing myself sometimes.
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,
because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
CD/DPO: 31/12
Timing: meh
Testing: BFN this morning. Ugh!
R/R/CS: Pretty sure I am out. I was super hopeful since my temps have stayed up and all. AF should be here Friday or Saturday so just chilling in limbo.
GTKY: What's your astrological sign? Do you think it accurately describes your personality.
Aquarius. I don't think it's very accurate. But what do I know.

Testing: @Heatho620my resolve yesterday came down to nothing, sorry to disappoint you! Last night I was feeling like AF was coming and a super cute baby was at Bible Study, and then I had a dream that I had a BFN and then my mom was like "no, you're just reading the test wrong, it's a BFP!" and then my alarm woke me up and no spotting, so I broke down and tested this AM. BFN. So, @Sparty18, it IS a good thing you brought me down to reality just in the nick of time yesterday ...I feel like I was less crushed than I would have been. I'll test again if AF doesn't actually make an appearance, but I'm pretty sure tomorrow will be CD1 since I spotted today and it usually goes like that
R/R/CS: See above...BUT, we are hosting a travelling friend right now, and she made an awesome dinner for us when we got home late from parent teacher conferences tonight, so that was super sweet....she has no clue how much I needed some love today! And there is only one more day of work and then my bff comes for our week off

Testing: If AF arrives on schedule, then... well I'll guess I'll know. If not, guess I'll consider it. Trying not to get too far ahead of myself.
R/R/CS: Because CD1 was on March 1st, by CD's have lined up with the date all month. My somewhat OCD personality likes the harmonization, plus it's been super easy to keep track of. Unless AF is 3 days later than usual (which would be bad for my nerves at this point), that won't happen again for April. Or, I'm KTFU and it's irrelevant, but I highly highly doubt that I am at this point.
Have I made you all think I'm crazy yet?
