Testing: Faulty FRER (looked like a water spot in the test window?) and a BFN on a Wondfo... but it's early.
R/R/CS: God damn you, FRERs. God damn you to hell.
GTKY:If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? I would travel to 2001 to tell myself to dump my horrible high school boyfriend before going off to college.
Srsly, so happy to be in the TWW. Let the BSC commence!
Month/Cycle: 4
CD/DPO: 20/3
Timing: --1, +1
Testing: ehhhhhhhhh
R/R/CS: rave: it's effing Friday, people. My DH is out of town this weekend and I plan on throwing a huge rager at my place while he's gone. And by huge rager I mean I'm going to sit on the couch and binge watch some showz with my dog. *tw other peoples pregnancies* rant: for the love of god, so many baby announcements. just stop.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? This is difficult, I can think of so many! I think I'd want to go back to the 18th/early 19th century Vienna when composers like Mozart and Beethoven were alive and active. Classical music then was to those people what our pop music is to us now, and I'd love to see what that is like (I'm a classical violist). It'd be so amazing to see those performances/be part of them! (Although as a woman I'd likely not have a chance to perform, but at least I could listen...boo)
Testing: Trying to hold out for 12dpo which would be 4/16.
R/R/CS: This is that weird part of the TWW where I am not quite BSC yet...but dont worry its coming. Not too much going on, glad its friday and the weekend will be here.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? 1977 so I could see the original Star Wars in the movie theater.
Long time lurker, new poster here also, **FF question**
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 35/16 (or maybe 11? See?? below)
Testing: timing was bad and I had a BFN yesterday so I'm planning on just waiting for AF at this point
R/R/CS: I felt generally crummy yesterday but I think it's just allergies. I had the flu at the beginning of this cycle and I think that made me O late (first cycle temping but my cycle length is always 26-29 days) and I'm not sure I agree with FF's crosshairs... See ?? Below GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? This is hard! I really like right now!!! if I had to pick, I think I'd go back to the 1950s and see if the good ol'days were really all that good--or if it's just more of the same....
FF didn't give me crosshairs until 7DPO, and given the length of my luteal phase at this point, I kind of wonder if I didn't actually O on what FF is calling 5DPO (see the handy arrow on my chart)
ETA-on my phone and the chart is tiny...if you guys have better tips on uploading, I'd appreciate it! ETA2--I think i've fixed it--hope its not massive!
R/R/CS: my implantation dip craziness has subsided. I've reigned my ss back in. Mostly because my temp was really low again today. Definitely not as exciting.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? if I had to pick a year before I was born, I'd pick one of the years my parents were married. I'd love to have a memory of them together and happy. (Although they were an awesome happily divorced coparenting team.) if I picked a year I was alive, it would be 2007. It was the year after I turned 21, I was single for like the first time and only time in my adult life and I had nothing majorly awful Happen. It was such a fun year.
TTC1: May 2015
Primary IF May 2016; Failed HSG; Scheduled Lap Sept. 2016
R/R/CS: It's finally Friday and I have a nice little day planned. I leave work at 11am on Friday, and I plan to go to the gym to work out for a bit and then go to acupuncture at 3:30pm. Hopefully H and I will play tennis once he gets off work later today, too. H has his SA scheduled for Monday, and I think he is super nervous. He is completely willing to have the SA done, but he's worried that the results won't be good and that's what is making him nervous. I really hope his results come back normal.
GTKY: I would go back to around 1960 or so to meet my grandma who I am named after. She passed away when my mother was younger due to ovarian cancer, and I never got to meet her.

Testing: In 2 days (if I can hold out and not test tomorrow..)
R/R/CS: So huge dip today (still above coverline). Normally I would think nothing of this, but of course since I had cramping two days ago I'm probably going to be googling "implantation dip 2 days after cramping" later on today. Sigh. At least I'm not worrying about the dip being bad news since it is too early for my period.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? Probably sometime in the '60s so I could go be a hippie and live in a commune
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? I think I'd rather go forward in time. Even 100 years would be freaking awesome.
R/R/CS: I really feel out this cycle but mostly because we took a month off from tracking and temping. We decided to just HIO when we wanted to and hope for the best in order to decrease stress but the BSC is worse this cycle than its ever been. I cant wait for AF to start so I can start temping and feel in control again.
Also, from the recommendations of a friend that has no idea about TTC, I downloaded Glow for some free entertainment on their boards. The "tmi" board...........OMG. I felt nauseous. So many STDs.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? Probably the late 60s/early 70s so I could channel my inner flower child.
R/R/CS: FRIDAAYYYYY.. I love Friday's. I am very happy that 10DPO will fall on a Sunday, because I am sure I will be depressed when the test is negative and it would be best option for me to get back in bed and cuddle my puppies...and DH, of course. Weekend is full and super busy, so that is good. We made plans with friends for a concert next weekend, going to a yummy restaurant, and I asked H, if I am KUed, how will I hide it! he said not to think about it because he doesn't want me to be let down I don't want to be either...this cycle is so different than last, in good and bad ways. It is kind of good that I don't have my hopes up as much as last cycle, the reality has set in that this may not happen as quickly as expected. I never thought about it taking me a long time ( I know 3 cycles isn't a long time, but just mean that I am aware that it won't just happen instantaneously), but now here we are and I know the realities of it all. He said our new neighbors hinted that we should have kids (they have a 2 year old) and DH said, "don't ask my wife about that." That pissed me off, like what, I am the only one it affects? I told him to just wait, now that he realizes it didn't happen immediately, those questions will get old to him too...
Wow that whole post turned out more negative than I expected it to.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to?
I would love to go back to when my parents first got together. They are divorced now, but I would have loved to see them in love....I never really got to see that as a kid....just remember the fighting She said he was so charming and they had so much fun!
TTC #1 - December 2015 Me:31 H:31 DX: MFI - 1% Morph 12/16 -IVF #1 - Antagonist Protocol w/ Lupron trigger ER - 11 retrieved- 9 mature - 7 fertilized - 3 sent for PGS on day 5 - No normals (1 XXX Embryo - may use in future) 3/17 - IVF #2 - Antagonist Protocol w/ HCG trigger ER- 13 retrieved - 11 mature - 8 fertilized - 2 sent for PGS on day 5 -2 Normal FET #1 - 5/16/17 - BFP! - Beta #1 5/25 - 156 - Beta #2 5/30 - 2562 - Beta #3 6/1 - 5191!
R/R/CS: Big .35 degree temp drop today. Still above CL, but my LP averages 14 days so it's too early for AF. Makes me wonder if FF is actually right in thinking O was CD17 and I'm only 8DPO. Who knows.
GTKY: The 1800s when the United States was expanding west.
10DPO I usually test so I don't feel too disappointed on 11DpO when AF comes. BFN
11DPO: no test. Expected AF. She didn't show
12DPO: BFN
13DPO: BFN
i guess I'll keep testing until AF but I'm so so frustrated. All my signs and temps pointed to CD17 as O. What is happening to me? a. Lengthened LP randomly 10 months off BC b. Didn't ovulate cycle day 17 (this will be hard to tell since didn't temp past 6DPO, but I had a totes shift and it stayed up so I stopped checking). c. Totes KTFU (I mean I know I'm not but I'm so flustered right now)
GTKY: 2010 cause I got married and that was uber fun.
@zdmd_14 from your tiny chart it's hard to tell but it looks like maybe Could have ovulated later (where the arrow is)? If that makes you 11DPO id go with that.
Testing: Likely next Friday morning (CD26) since I'm going to a Bach party
R/R/CS: Really annoyed with FF right now. I would put money that I ovulated on Sunday but for whatever reason I didn't get CH till this morning and FF put them on Tuesday. Hence the either 5DPO or the 3DPO. Also hoping it's 5DPO since that would make our timing amazing.
For the past week I've had strange cramps (fairly mild) on and off throughout the day. I have endo so it totally could be that but I usually don't get cramps like these until close to AF. Who knows. Trying not to be BSC but my emotions are crazy during TWW.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? This is a tough one. I would probably want to go back to college. Freshman year I would say. One of my favorite times!
@MonaLisaRalphio - Sorry about the faulty FRER. They are becoming less and less reliable. You still have time for a BFP. @kellybean1988 - Any good shows? I just finished all of mine! @JediAlly85 - Looks like you had really great timing... like, wow. I can't even that many times. Good for you. @zdmd_14 - I can't see very well... are you only temping or are you doing any other charting of other signs to confirm? CM, CP, OPK? @sarah0985 - It's awesome that your parents worked so well together after divorce. You seldom hear about it working well. @beary67 - Good luck with the SA! My boo was pretty nervous when he had to do it... mostly because he works at the hospital and he knew all the lab workers so it was awkward. To make it into a laughable situation, I got an extra specimen cup, filled it with a mixture of mayo and water to the brim and he took that in and gave it to them first.The look on their faces when they thought he ejaculated that much. OMG. Lol. Then he gave him his real sample and it wasn't as fin because it did come back crummy. But in the moment it was hilarious! @britters314 - Google on, sister. Hopefully you'll see in a few days it was good news. @LadyMillil - Agree-forward would be so cool! @clover28 - Sometimes a little time off is so necessary. Good for you for doing what you needed to for your mental health. But I totally know what you mean about wanting to get back to it. You have so little control over the situation it's hard to not take control and temp and stuff. Good luck! @Zoey1019 - My boo started out that way too. "Ohhh don't talk to Kristin about that" and now he just lays people out a little for saying rude things.

R/R/CS: I had some cramping yesterday and I've had a headache for the last four days. I woke up this morning with my face looking like a mountain range. Which is odd for even me. I typically only get one zit, maybe two. Nope. Apparently my body decided to make me look like a teenage boy. AF is impending, I'm 99.9% p ositive. I made my boo have S last night, since that n ormally makes AF show. We'll see. I'm cranky today.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? I wish I could go back and tell myself in high school to stop worrying about what everyone thought of me.

R/R/CS: Happy to be moving over to the TWW today. I really enjoyed posting on WTO this month and getting to know the ladies over there some. I've been lurking for a few months so I feel like I know many of you already. I'm getting over being sick during my FW, so I'm not thrilled with our timing this month, but I feel like it's ok considering.
Happy Friday, everyone!
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? If it has to be back in time, I guess the 1960s. I like the music, the hippie vibe, and I think I would have enjoyed participating in the civil rights movement and fighting for equality. I'd rather go forward in time though, maybe 200 years, to check out things in the future. I don't know if I would like what I would find, but I'd give it a try.
@kellybean1988 yay, happy to see you here! @zdmd_14 I'm having the same kind of issues on chart, but I just started temping so hoping it'l even out. I can usually figure out O day for sure in hindsight when af comes @clover28 eww STDs...I like to hit the glow when I get crazy about ss. They make me feel smart and less crazy...
Month/Cycle:8/6
CD/DPO: 43/7?
Testing: 4/4 bfn frer, 4/7 bfn ic
R/R/CS: Still here...waiiittinnnggg. Neg opk yesterday so I'm hoping cd36-ish was O day and I don't gear up again. I'm keeping on the opks just in case. BBT charting is helping but I've got pretty rocky temps with my weird sleep pattern. And I snagged FF promo for 90 days for $10, that's relieved some stress because I'm off google now! Getting a little crampy so I'm thinking AF is finally on they way, but I've got some low pains that are weird (we did BD this am tho). Ugh let the ss begin.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? When DH and I first met. I'd let us know to save the money, get married earlier, and get off the BCP asap!!
*ETA: have to bump and run, but I'll scan through on mobile later. Boss is just dumping everything he doesn't wanna deal with on me. So now I'm receptionist, pickups, dropoffs, account rep, janitor, accounts payable, and walk-ins.....omg
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- My Personal, Frequently Changing Gif Party>>>
R/R/CS: After testing 9 & 10 DPO (both BFN), I took a break today from testing. All signs point to AF arriving soon but I'm still a tiny bit hopeful (which will only hurt in the long run). Last night we went to a function where everyone was talking about their kids, and asking if we had any. The follow up to our "no" is always "why not? don't you want kids?" I started to get really flustered so H just steered me away and told me that earlier this week when he was asked if we were trying, his answer was "are you asking if I'm having sex with my wife?" I could not have loved him more in that moment and have decided that's going to be my go to answer from now on!!
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? Hard question! I think I'd like to go way back in time (a la Outlander), but then I remember I enjoy plumbing and electricity. So maybe the 60s?

Way to go DH! That is a hilarious response

Testing: Testing on a FRER tomorrow before we go out
R/R/CS: Uterus is still on my shitlist. Probably not going to have time to bump tomorrow, so let's just assume that everything is still negative and my period still hasn't arrived.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? I would go back to 780000 years ago and totally teach early protohumans how to make fire. HAHA I MADE PREHISTORY AND LOOKED LIKE A WIZARD.
@MommyForTheFirstTime Yeah normally we do EOD in FW but we ended up skipping a day due to some performance issues and DH was like we'll do the next 2 days and then I got my high opk and somehow it turned into ED for 6 days. Needless to say we are both wiped out haha
@zdmd_14 - Based on your other indicators, it really looks like O happened when FF says it did. I get random dips like that periodically as well. I can't remember which months though, and if they were the months I ended up KU. I did it under an old FF account, and I don't have access anymore or I'd check. At any rate, Your temps are looking really high and that looks good. Are you getting sick or is it a natural high?

@MommyForTheFirstTime I don't think I'm getting sick...I felt crummy yesterday but it seemed allergy related and i feel great today. And I had a BFN yesterday. AND, if you go by FF's analysis, we had sex at -3 but DH kind of partially pulled out due to some difficulty finishing. Lol. So the idea that my temps are high for a good reason just seems so unlikely....
DD1 (2008) DD2 (2010), #3 (DH's first bio kid) on the way in January 2017! Almost always mobile bumping--forgive my typos.
@FrancesGrace630 A temp drop still above coverline isn't a bad sign, especially since it is still near other post-O temps. Don't stress about it - forest, not trees!
@rkstro2 I had a randomly longer LP one month, too (after about 9 months off BC). It happens. Hopefully for you it means you are KU and just haven't turned a test yet, though!
R/R/CS: I had what could have been an implantation dip this morning. I am trying not to get my hopes up, especially after consulting Dr. Google and realizing that sometimes non-pregnant women get dips and sometimes pregnant women don't have dips on their charts. Super helpful. All aboard the SS train!
Non-TTC related: We are visiting my parents tonight and I'm seeing some of my best friends from home tomorrow! Wooooo
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? I have always been fascinated with the 1920's - I guess specifically the early part because I'd rather not experience the Great Depression. If we're talking a year that I've been alive, I'd say my freshman year of college - 2006. I was a pretty good student in college but definitely could have tried harder and I think farting around my freshman year probably set a bad tone for the rest of my time there. I would definitely NOT date the loooooser that I decided to date that year if I could go back and do it over!

@zdmd_14 - I am certainly not one to give false hope. If anything, I tend to rain on people's parade. I'm not saying you are KU. Obviously I don't know. but your chart does look fairly good . Remember that sperm lives for a bit. It's totally possible they stuck around. In regard to him pulling out a bit, did some get in? Then it's possible. Sperm at masters at denying gravity. They are abundant. Now let me ask, When you saying you "1/1" for your month/cycle, is that real? Have you been NTNP? What is back story? Do you have any known issues? I'd guess not if you've only been TTC for 1 cycle. If this is your first cycle temping, you have nothing to compare it to, which makes it hard. I don't have as drastic of an increase in temp, but you might always have drastic rise. I love it because that's what I want to see. But again, it might be normal for you. The only thing that I really don't like about your cycle is your BFN. at 16 DPO, you should have a BFP if you are KU, especially since you are a bit late. Again, I'm not saying you are or you are not. I'm in love with the lovely rise of temp, but that BFN really throws it the other way. If I had to stamp one way or the other on it, I always err to the "not KU" side. A lot of people say "assume you are KU till AF shows" I am the opposite. I assume I am not until I get a BFP. TL;DR, assume not KU, but keep temping, and testing till AF/BFP. I hope it's good news!

Here is what we found: 11% of charts that showed ovulation but did not result in a pregnancy displayed this pattern. 23% of charts that showed ovulation and did result in a pregnancy showed this pattern. Of the pregnancy charts that showed this pattern, the most likely days for the dip to occur were between 7 and 8 days past ovulation.
ETA: Even though I know this I'm still always like "...maybe? " when I see an "implantation dip" on my chart. It isn't even that uncommon for me to get them and they never seem to mean anything. And yet, they still play with my emotions a little.

@MommyForTheFirstTime We have mostly been NTNP, DH's job was also out of state until recently so we only saw each other every couple of weeks for a little while--not many opportunities to try/prevent. No known fertility issues. As for the pulling out, some may have gotten in, but I'm not sure. If I were TTA, it would have me worried though.
DD1 (2008) DD2 (2010), #3 (DH's first bio kid) on the way in January 2017! Almost always mobile bumping--forgive my typos.
10DPO I usually test so I don't feel too disappointed on 11DpO when AF comes. BFN
11DPO: no test. Expected AF. She didn't show
12DPO: BFN
13DPO: BFN
i guess I'll keep testing until AF but I'm so so frustrated. All my signs and temps pointed to CD17 as O. What is happening to me? a. Lengthened LP randomly 10 months off BC b. Didn't ovulate cycle day 17 (this will be hard to tell since didn't temp past 6DPO, but I had a totes shift and it stayed up so I stopped checking). c. Totes KTFU (I mean I know I'm not but I'm so flustered right now)
GTKY: 2010 cause I got married and that was uber fun.
@zdmd_14 from your tiny chart it's hard to tell but it looks like maybe Could have ovulated later (where the arrow is)? If that makes you 11DPO id go with that.
@rkstro2 Ive been trying to find info about randomly lengthened LPs as well but haven't found much info at all. Hope you get some peace of mind soon!

I was just reading this because I had a dip today too (7dpo) and below that FF also says that a dip doesn't mean you are pregnant, but it does mean the probability of you being KU is higher. Stop it, FF! You're not supposed to encourage this lol
@MonaLisaRalphio it's still wayyyyy early!! Good luck testing tomorrow!! Also, I love the new name!
@Kellybean1988 enjoy your relaxing weekend! H has some work whiskey party and I told him I would be more than happy to drive him (it's super close to our house) and I'm soooo looking forward to catching up on Teen Mom and Dance Moms tonight!
@JediAlly85 When I read your GTKY I was like "wow, she must be really passionate about Star Wars." Then I saw your use name....
@zdmd_14 I think CD 24 looks like O. Since you have had multiple patches of fertile CM, I think that's throwing FF off.
@Sarah0985 I love your response to the GTKY question!
@britters314 oh girl, you're waiting until later on today to google??? I would have already spent hours on google searching for answers. I hope you find some good information!
@LadyMillil I am soooo happy to hear you have not been spotting!! That seriously makes me so happy. It sounds like the medicine they have you on now is working!!!
@clover28 It really is disgusting how much information they put up on the Glow app, isn't it??
@zoey1019 I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for your testing on Sunday!!
@rkstro2 It's hard to tell without all the temps, but I think based on the temp shift and your CM, FF is correct.
@mrsjqg1024 FF is sometimes wrong if information contradicts itself. You can change the setting to see if your cross hairs move depending on if it's set on Advanced, FAM, Research, OPK mode.
@MommyForTheFirstTime that's super good advice!!! I wish more people cared less about what others thought of them.
@LadyBrettAshley23 welcome to the TWW! I hope you are starting to feel better. You still have good timing!!
@sLass42 I hope you get some answers soon about your cycle!

@beary67 Haha, I had to teach a class right away this morning so I didn't have time at first. I did give them a lab during the second half of class and definitely started my googling then, though lol
R/R/CS: I'm here, but we're already out. DH had to go out of town for work so our timing is -6. So I'm gonna hang out here and cheer for you lovely ladies
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? I would go back to the early 1940's to meet my grandma as a young woman. I adored her growing up as my sweet old granny but I didn't fully understand until I was older how she shaped our family. She didn't work outside the home until later years, but she worked tirelessly on the farm, in the fields, milking cows, with my grandpa. She demanded to be treated as an equal and worked her ass off to prove it. She raised my Dad and his siblings to believe women can do anything men can. And he raised us kids the same.
@tentoeturbo sorry about the bad timing. Thanks for being our cheer leader!!

Thanks for the info, @NamelessAria! That's kind of how I felt. Even though I know it's not conclusive evidence, I still got a little excited. @britters314, here's hoping that our dips are meaningful dips. Any time I feel/see anything that means I could even slightly possibly be KU, I'm all...

@tentoeturbo That's my favorite GTKY answer so far. ☺️ Will you have better timing next month as far as DH not being out of town?
Aww, thanks! She was an amazing woman and I miss her fiercely. And yes, DH is back home for the foreseeable future so next month looks MUCH more promising!
Re: Tww Friday

R/R/CS: rave: it's effing Friday, people. My DH is out of town this weekend and I plan on throwing a huge rager at my place while he's gone. And by huge rager I mean I'm going to sit on the couch and binge watch some showz with my dog. *tw other peoples pregnancies* rant: for the love of god, so many baby announcements. just stop.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? This is difficult, I can think of so many! I think I'd want to go back to the 18th/early 19th century Vienna when composers like Mozart and Beethoven were alive and active. Classical music then was to those people what our pop music is to us now, and I'd love to see what that is like (I'm a classical violist). It'd be so amazing to see those performances/be part of them! (Although as a woman I'd likely not have a chance to perform, but at least I could listen...boo)

**FF question**
1/1
CD/DPO:
35/16 (or maybe 11? See?? below)
Testing:
timing was bad and I had a BFN yesterday so I'm planning on just waiting for AF at this point
R/R/CS:
I felt generally crummy yesterday but I think it's just allergies. I had the flu at the beginning of this cycle and I think that made me O late (first cycle temping but my cycle length is always 26-29 days) and I'm not sure I agree with FF's crosshairs... See ?? Below
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to?
This is hard! I really like right now!!!
if I had to pick, I think I'd go back to the 1950s and see if the good ol'days were really all that good--or if it's just more of the same....
FF didn't give me crosshairs until 7DPO, and given the length of my luteal phase at this point, I kind of wonder if I didn't actually O on what FF is calling 5DPO (see the handy arrow on my chart)
ETA-on my phone and the chart is tiny...if you guys have better tips on uploading, I'd appreciate it! ETA2--I think i've fixed it--hope its not massive!
Almost always mobile bumping--forgive my typos.
CD/DPO: 35/8
Testing: Monday morning
R/R/CS: my implantation dip craziness has subsided. I've reigned my ss back in. Mostly because my temp was really low again today. Definitely not as exciting.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to?
if I had to pick a year before I was born, I'd pick one of the years my parents were married. I'd love to have a memory of them together and happy. (Although they were an awesome happily divorced coparenting team.)
if I picked a year I was alive, it would be 2007. It was the year after I turned 21, I was single for like the first time and only time in my adult life and I had nothing majorly awful Happen. It was such a fun year.
CD/DPO: 30/9
Timing: -4, -1
Testing: No Plans.
R/R/CS: It's finally Friday and I have a nice little day planned. I leave work at 11am on Friday, and I plan to go to the gym to work out for a bit and then go to acupuncture at 3:30pm. Hopefully H and I will play tennis once he gets off work later today, too. H has his SA scheduled for Monday, and I think he is super nervous. He is completely willing to have the SA done, but he's worried that the results won't be good and that's what is making him nervous. I really hope his results come back normal.
GTKY: I would go back to around 1960 or so to meet my grandma who I am named after. She passed away when my mother was younger due to ovarian cancer, and I never got to meet her.

Team Blue X 2!
CD/DPO: 22/7
Testing: In 2 days (if I can hold out and not test tomorrow..)
R/R/CS: So huge dip today (still above coverline). Normally I would think nothing of this, but of course since I had cramping two days ago I'm probably going to be googling "implantation dip 2 days after cramping" later on today. Sigh. At least I'm not worrying about the dip being bad news since it is too early for my period.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to?
Probably sometime in the '60s so I could go be a hippie and live in a commune
Edited for grammar
CD/DPO: 25/9ish (not temping this cycle)
Testing: meh I dont know, I didnt track it
R/R/CS: I really feel out this cycle but mostly because we took a month off from tracking and temping. We decided to just HIO when we wanted to and hope for the best in order to decrease stress but the BSC is worse this cycle than its ever been. I cant wait for AF to start so I can start temping and feel in control again.
Also, from the recommendations of a friend that has no idea about TTC, I downloaded Glow for some free entertainment on their boards. The "tmi" board...........OMG. I felt nauseous. So many STDs.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? Probably the late 60s/early 70s so I could channel my inner flower child.
CD/DPO: 23/8
Testing: Starting tomorrow...duh
R/R/CS: FRIDAAYYYYY..
Wow that whole post turned out more negative than I expected it to.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to?

CD/DPO: 25/10
Timing: -1, 0, +1
Testing: Everyday - BFN
R/R/CS: Big .35 degree temp drop today. Still above CL, but my LP averages 14 days so it's too early for AF. Makes me wonder if FF is actually right in thinking O was CD17 and I'm only 8DPO. Who knows.
GTKY: The 1800s when the United States was expanding west.
Month/cycle: 10/10
CD: 30/13
timing: Ed except -2
testing plans: see below
r/r/cs: ok you all. I am an average of 10 day LP.
10DPO I usually test so I don't feel too disappointed on 11DpO when AF comes. BFN
11DPO: no test. Expected AF. She didn't show
12DPO: BFN
13DPO: BFN
i guess I'll keep testing until AF but I'm so so frustrated. All my signs and temps pointed to CD17 as O. What is happening to me?
a. Lengthened LP randomly 10 months off BC
b. Didn't ovulate cycle day 17 (this will be hard to tell since didn't temp past 6DPO, but I had a totes shift and it stayed up so I stopped checking).
c. Totes KTFU (I mean I know I'm not but I'm so flustered right now)
GTKY: 2010 cause I got married and that was uber fun.
@zdmd_14 from your tiny chart it's hard to tell but it looks like maybe Could have ovulated later (where the arrow is)? If that makes you 11DPO id go with that.
CD/DPO: 19/5 or 3?
Testing: Likely next Friday morning (CD26) since I'm going to a Bach party
R/R/CS: Really annoyed with FF right now. I would put money that I ovulated on Sunday but for whatever reason I didn't get CH till this morning and FF put them on Tuesday. Hence the either 5DPO or the 3DPO. Also hoping it's 5DPO since that would make our timing amazing.
For the past week I've had strange cramps (fairly mild) on and off throughout the day. I have endo so it totally could be that but I usually don't get cramps like these until close to AF. Who knows. Trying not to be BSC but my emotions are crazy during TWW.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? This is a tough one. I would probably want to go back to college. Freshman year I would say. One of my favorite times!
@kellybean1988 - Any good shows? I just finished all of mine!
@JediAlly85 - Looks like you had really great timing... like, wow. I can't even that many times. Good for you.
@zdmd_14 - I can't see very well... are you only temping or are you doing any other charting of other signs to confirm? CM, CP, OPK?
@sarah0985 - It's awesome that your parents worked so well together after divorce. You seldom hear about it working well.
@beary67 - Good luck with the SA! My boo was pretty nervous when he had to do it... mostly because he works at the hospital and he knew all the lab workers so it was awkward. To make it into a laughable situation, I got an extra specimen cup, filled it with a mixture of mayo and water to the brim and he took that in and gave it to them first.The look on their faces when they thought he ejaculated that much. OMG. Lol. Then he gave him his real sample and it wasn't as fin because it did come back crummy.
@britters314 - Google on, sister. Hopefully you'll see in a few days it was good news.
@LadyMillil - Agree-forward would be so cool!
@clover28 - Sometimes a little time off is so necessary. Good for you for doing what you needed to for your mental health. But I totally know what you mean about wanting to get back to it. You have so little control over the situation it's hard to not take control and temp and stuff. Good luck!
@Zoey1019 - My boo started out that way too. "Ohhh don't talk to Kristin about that" and now he just lays people out a little for saying rude things.

R/R/CS: I had some cramping yesterday and I've had a headache for the last four days. I woke up this morning with my face looking like a mountain range. Which is odd for even me. I typically only get one zit, maybe two. Nope. Apparently my body decided to make me look like a teenage boy. AF is impending, I'm 99.9% p ositive. I made my boo have S last night, since that n ormally makes AF show. We'll see.

R/R/CS: Happy to be moving over to the TWW today. I really enjoyed posting on WTO this month and getting to know the ladies over there some. I've been lurking for a few months so I feel like I know many of you already. I'm getting over being sick during my FW, so I'm not thrilled with our timing this month, but I feel like it's ok considering.
Happy Friday, everyone!
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? If it has to be back in time, I guess the 1960s. I like the music, the hippie vibe, and I think I would have enjoyed participating in the civil rights movement and fighting for equality. I'd rather go forward in time though, maybe 200 years, to check out things in the future. I don't know if I would like what I would find, but I'd give it a try.
@monalisaralphio Love Parks & Rec!
@kellybean1988 Cool idea about going back in time to see classical performances! Also, DPO buddies!
@JediAlly85 I feel the same way about this part of the TWW.
@zdmd_14 I can't see your chart well enough to comment. I'll check back later though. Good luck!
@sarah0985 Good luck with the SS. It's such a hard part of the TWW.
@beary67 I hope you enjoy your acupuncture appointment!
@britters314 Hippie living FTW!
@zdmd_14 I'm having the same kind of issues on chart, but I just started temping so hoping it'l even out. I can usually figure out O day for sure in hindsight when af comes
@clover28 eww STDs...I like to hit the glow when I get crazy about ss. They make me feel smart and less crazy...
Month/Cycle:8/6
CD/DPO: 43/7?
Testing: 4/4 bfn frer, 4/7 bfn ic
R/R/CS: Still here...waiiittinnnggg. Neg opk yesterday so I'm hoping cd36-ish was O day and I don't gear up again. I'm keeping on the opks just in case. BBT charting is helping but I've got pretty rocky temps with my weird sleep pattern. And I snagged FF promo for 90 days for $10, that's relieved some stress because I'm off google now! Getting a little crampy so I'm thinking AF is finally on they way, but I've got some low pains that are weird (we did BD this am tho). Ugh let the ss begin.
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to?
When DH and I first met. I'd let us know to save the money, get married earlier, and get off the BCP asap!!
*ETA: have to bump and run, but I'll scan through on mobile later. Boss is just dumping everything he doesn't wanna deal with on me. So now I'm receptionist, pickups, dropoffs, account rep, janitor, accounts payable, and walk-ins.....omg
My Personal, Frequently Changing Gif Party>>>
CD/DPO: 22/11
Testing: -5, -3, -2, O
R/R/CS: After testing 9 & 10 DPO (both BFN), I took a break today from testing. All signs point to AF arriving soon but I'm still a tiny bit hopeful (which will only hurt in the long run). Last night we went to a function where everyone was talking about their kids, and asking if we had any. The follow up to our "no" is always "why not? don't you want kids?" I started to get really flustered so H just steered me away and told me that earlier this week when he was asked if we were trying, his answer was "are you asking if I'm having sex with my wife?" I could not have loved him more in that moment and have decided that's going to be my go to answer from now on!!
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? Hard question! I think I'd like to go way back in time (a la Outlander), but then I remember I enjoy plumbing and electricity. So maybe the 60s?
ETA: answer to the GTKY
I think I fixed it now. Of course it's my first cycle charting that I have my first cycle ever over 30 days

R/R/CS: Uterus is still on my shitlist. Probably not going to have time to bump tomorrow, so let's just assume that everything is still negative and my period still hasn't arrived.

ER#2 ~Jan 2019
And I had a BFN yesterday. AND, if you go by FF's analysis, we had sex at -3 but DH kind of partially pulled out due to some difficulty finishing. Lol. So the idea that my temps are high for a good reason just seems so unlikely....
Almost always mobile bumping--forgive my typos.
@rkstro2 I had a randomly longer LP one month, too (after about 9 months off BC). It happens. Hopefully for you it means you are KU and just haven't turned a test yet, though!
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0
Testing: 13 DPO
R/R/CS: I had what could have been an implantation dip this morning. I am trying not to get my hopes up, especially after consulting Dr. Google and realizing that sometimes non-pregnant women get dips and sometimes pregnant women don't have dips on their charts. Super helpful. All aboard the SS train!
Non-TTC related: We are visiting my parents tonight and I'm seeing some of my best friends from home tomorrow! Wooooo
GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? I have always been fascinated with the 1920's - I guess specifically the early part because I'd rather not experience the Great Depression. If we're talking a year that I've been alive, I'd say my freshman year of college - 2006. I was a pretty good student in college but definitely could have tried harder and I think farting around my freshman year probably set a bad tone for the rest of my time there. I would definitely NOT date the loooooser that I decided to date that year if I could go back and do it over!

BFP 09.2015 - m/c 10.21.2015
Now let me ask,
When you saying you "1/1" for your month/cycle, is that real? Have you been NTNP? What is back story? Do you have any known issues? I'd guess not if you've only been TTC for 1 cycle. If this is your first cycle temping, you have nothing to compare it to, which makes it hard. I don't have as drastic of an increase in temp, but you might always have drastic rise. I love it because that's what I want to see. But again, it might be normal for you.
The only thing that I really don't like about your cycle is your BFN. at 16 DPO, you should have a BFP if you are KU, especially since you are a bit late.
Again, I'm not saying you are or you are not. I'm in love with the lovely rise of temp, but that BFN really throws it the other way. If I had to stamp one way or the other on it, I always err to the "not KU" side. A lot of people say "assume you are KU till AF shows" I am the opposite. I assume I am not until I get a BFP.
TL;DR, assume not KU, but keep temping, and testing till AF/BFP. I hope it's good news!

ETA: Even though I know this I'm still always like "...maybe?
" when I see an "implantation dip" on my chart. It isn't even that uncommon for me to get them and they never seem to mean anything. And yet, they still play with my emotions a little.

We have mostly been NTNP, DH's job
was also out of state until recently so we only saw each other every couple of weeks for a little while--not many opportunities to try/prevent. No known fertility issues.
As for the pulling out, some may have gotten in, but I'm not sure. If I were TTA, it would have me worried though.

@Kellybean1988 enjoy your relaxing weekend! H has some work whiskey party and I told him I would be more than happy to drive him (it's super close to our house) and I'm soooo looking forward to catching up on Teen Mom and Dance Moms tonight!
@JediAlly85 When I read your GTKY I was like "wow, she must be really passionate about Star Wars." Then I saw your use name....
@zdmd_14 I think CD 24 looks like O. Since you have had multiple patches of fertile CM, I think that's throwing FF off.
@Sarah0985 I love your response to the GTKY question!
@britters314 oh girl, you're waiting until later on today to google??? I would have already spent hours on google searching for answers. I hope you find some good information!
@LadyMillil I am soooo happy to hear you have not been spotting!! That seriously makes me so happy. It sounds like the medicine they have you on now is working!!!
@clover28 It really is disgusting how much information they put up on the Glow app, isn't it??
@zoey1019 I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for your testing on Sunday!!
@FrancesGrace630 I think FF looks correct!
@rkstro2 It's hard to tell without all the temps, but I think based on the temp shift and your CM, FF is correct.
@mrsjqg1024 FF is sometimes wrong if information contradicts itself. You can change the setting to see if your cross hairs move depending on if it's set on Advanced, FAM, Research, OPK mode.
@MommyForTheFirstTime that's super good advice!!! I wish more people cared less about what others thought of them.
@LadyBrettAshley23 welcome to the TWW! I hope you are starting to feel better. You still have good timing!!
@sLass42 I hope you get some answers soon about your cycle!
@2OT I love your husband's response!!!!! Amazing!
@TheJerilu your GTKY made me laugh out loud.

GTKY: If you could go back In time to any year, what year would you travel to? I would go back to the early 1940's to meet my grandma as a young woman. I adored her growing up as my sweet old granny but I didn't fully understand until I was older how she shaped our family. She didn't work outside the home until later years, but she worked tirelessly on the farm, in the fields, milking cows, with my grandpa. She demanded to be treated as an equal and worked her ass off to prove it. She raised my Dad and his siblings to believe women can do anything men can. And he raised us kids the same.
Will you have better timing next month as far as DH not being out of town?
