Re: TWW Wednesday

  • Month/Cycle:  6/6

    CD/DPO:  23/10

    Timing:  -2, -1, 0, +1

    Testing: today BFN

    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.

    Gemini - I think it does sum me up pretty well.

  • Month/Cycle:  2/2

    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.

    Timing:  -3, -2, -1, O, +1

    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!

  • Month/Cycle:  8/8

    CD/DPO:  21/8

    Timing:  -4, -2, -1, +1

    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.

    @babymish sorry for the BFN!

    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.

    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.

  • @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.

    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"

    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.

    Timing:  +2, IUI, -1

    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.

    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.

    @babymish sorry about BFN and appt time

    @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.

    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.

    Timing:  -5, -3, -1

    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.

    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.

    @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.

    @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.

  • Month/Cycle:  1/1

    CD/DPO:  17/5

    Timing:  -5, -3, -2, 0 (x2), +1

    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. 

    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. 
  • @babymish Sorry for the BFN and for all the SA related stress :(

    @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.

    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.

    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.

    Testing: the usual... 10dpo

    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.

  • @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!

    @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!!

    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

    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.

    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

  • Month/Cycle:  4/4

    CD/DPO:  CD23

    Timing:  CD12, CD13, CD15

    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?

    GTKY:  What's your astrological sign?  Do you think it accurately describes your personality. I'm a Cancer - pretty much every personality trait I've read has been dead on.

    @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
