FrancesGrace630 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 10/9

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: -1, 0, +1

Testing: Everyday - BFN again.

R/R/CS: 11DPO is usually the day I start spotting before AF shows up in 4 days. So I will be keeping my eyes peeled for that, and hopefully I don't see any!

GTKY: Coleslaw!

Zoey1019 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: Too good

Testing: I caved today, now everyday until AF....

R/R/CS: I found for the first time that I started spotting around 12 DPO, so if I don't have BFP by then, I will know

Yesterday had some wine...thus was truthful with DH about how I feel like a let down...so many people got KUed around us first time, or by mistake. I said, he really can't say "I feel like you shouldn't get so upset because then it won't happen." I told him that that doesn't make a difference and if he says that stuff to me, if anything, it makes me feel worse. He didn't really understand and said "thats just what I believe." Like its a religion or something...UGG...so we went to bed mad, but then when we woke up he hugged me and told me he was sorry he said that and that he just isn't scientific, so it's hard for him to wrap his head around it. So positive change this morning...lol

PMS is in full swing, I got teary eyed watching the gator pre-season game. They started the fight song and i sniffled....omg..stop!!!! lol

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck? I LOVE brining corn casserole

@FrancesGrace630 fx spotting stays away!!!!

britters314 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: -5, -4, 0

Testing: Tomorrow

R/R/CS: Mostly I'm now hopeful for this cycle but part of me is like why do I expect this time to be any different? Who was it who said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck?
It used to always be chips and homemade queso, but H and I have recently tried a lot of different recipes that would be good for a potluck, so idk what it would be now

rkstro2 · April 2016

Sorry about your BFN's ladies.

CD1 for me today. On to cycle 11. It happened a few days later than expected so that created some stress and confusion for me but hopefully my LP is gonna stay a day or 2 longer!

Good luck to everyone! Hope no one else has to go back to WTO

sLass42 · April 2016

Mobile bumping, seeing the Realtor today so have to bump and run.
Month/cycle: 8/6
CD/DPO:44/?
Timing: good
Testing: bfn frer cd39, bfn ic cd42
R/R/CS: waiting for temps to even out my chart. It's saying o is today now, but I'm not sure. Tested pos opk yesterday but using a horrible blue line test until I get more pink dye ic so I'm *not trusting it fully. I'm still thinking o was CD31 or CD36 but I'll wait and see
GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck?
I always bring some kind of casserole. Green bean, potato etc

*edited because mobile bumping is hard

CoonMom · April 2016

Month/cycle: 5/4 TTCAL 15/14 Total

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: -2, 0

Testing: HUGE temp dip this am:( AF isn't due until Tuesday.

*TW loss mentioned briefly*

R/R/CS: See testing:( I know I'm not out until I'm out but it's very depressing. This was my last cycle to get KU before I turn 30. I know many of you are over 30 trying for your first and I realize there is nothing wrong with that....it's just a personal goal/dream I had that I would have two kids by 30. Now it looks like I won't have one (living).
*end TW*

2nd rant: I'm watching Grey's currently and a 14 yr is KU. I'm also watching Wentworth (a show about a women's prison) and one of the prisoners got KU by a one night stand by a visitor. I know they are just shows but it happens in real life. I'm so jealous.

Thanks for reading my pity party.

I do have a rave: One room in our basement is complete (minus carpet) and looks amazing! Our workers (DH's dad and friend) was questioning my white trim choice but they both say it looks soo good!

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck? I always struggle with potlucks but I found a chicken bacon ranch sandwich recipe I can't wait to try.

I'm trying to figure out how to attach my chart....I feel so stupid I can't do this yet.

FrancesGrace630 · April 2016

@rkstro2 sorry for CD1.

@zoey1019 FX spotting stays away from you too!

@britters314 I know what you mean. I'm really optimistic about this cycle....I don't know why.

krisnicole23 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 21/ 7

Timing: -1

Testing: Starting Monday (I know early right?). I have no willpower though.

R/R/CS: I have my next half marathon bright and early tomorrow morning. I told my DH I won't try to hit any time goals/try to age group place and just run easy in case there is anything going on in my lady parts. My last few training runs I have been so fatigued, zero energy, and needed to stop midway to catch my breath which is very unlike me.

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck? I love baking so I would bring some kind of dessert.

Zoey1019 · April 2016

@rkstro2 sorry for cd1

@britters314 keeping everything crossed for you!

FrancesGrace630 · April 2016

@krisnicole23 good luck on your half marathon!

Sparty18 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 8/9

CD/DPO: 17/3

Timing: -3,-2,-1,O,+1

Testing: 12 DPO

R/R/CS: If you haven't read what I've complained about in WTO lately, my CBAD gave me a peak reading on CD10 with no highs. It has always seemed accurate in the past but I don't believe it this time and based on all other signs I strongly believe O was on CD14. So, FF gives me dotted CH on CD11 with all methods likely driven by that peak reading. I have chosen to ignore that and settled on CD14. When I take out the peak reading FF gives me solid CH on CD14. I will be taking out the peak soon, but feel free to chart stalk (in siggy) and let me know if you agree. I also think my temp today is a bit exaggerated as I'm coming down with a cold, boo.

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck?
I am always the dessert girl as I love to bake. I have plenty of go-tos but a popular one the last couple of years has been cookie dough hummus.

britters314 · April 2016

@Sparty18 It looks like CD 14 to me. Did you stop using your CBAD after getting a peak reading? I don't use one but I feel like I remember seeing some charts where people got peak readings for a few days in a row. It's possible that could have happened to you if you had kept doing it.

krisnicole23 · April 2016

@Sparty18 Cookie dough hummus sounds amazing!!

@FrancesGrace630 Thank you!!

Sparty18 · April 2016

@britters314 With CBAD, you can't keep using it after you get a peak. It freezes for 2 days with the solid smiley showing and resets for a new cycle. I will be ordering wondfos to use with it next cycle to avoid this happening again! Thanks for looking!

NamelessAria · April 2016

Month/cycle: 9/8

CD/DPO: 20/6

Timing: -2, -1

Testing: 10DPO maybe?

R/R/CS: I'm especially BSC this TWW and it's only 6DPO. This could have been a FFFC but I literally Googled to check my stats on the earliest theoretically possible day of implantation being 5DPO with the more likely days being around 7-10DPO. I'd like to be able to say that I'm going to not test till 13DPO or till my period is late. But let's just be honest here: with how BSC I am this cycle I'm definitely not going to be able to sustain the willpower to not test past about 10DPO unless something chances. And even that may be optimistic. However, I am going to visit family this week so maybe that'll take my mind off things. Nothing makes you forget about testing like wondering how you lived with the crazy lady that is your mother for so many years growing up.

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck? I usually ask if I can bring a dessert because I love baking. I never really get to bake though because DH and I don't need all those cookies, brownies, cakes, etc. If they don't need more desserts for the potluck I'll usually take something seasonally appropriate. Like a sweet potato casserole in the fall. ETA: One time for an Easter potluck I took deviled egg chicks that looked like this (these aren't mine. I don't have a photo of the ones I made. But they were really freaking close to the photo so):

kellybean1988 · April 2016

Morning! Here's your weekend poster and ghoster checking in

Month/cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 21/4

Timing: --1,+1

Testing: meh

R/R/CS: I went down a major Google rabbit hole last night with "ovulation type pain 3dpo". LOL. Of course the only things that came up were forum type things, which never help. I have been having on and off twinges of middle pain on the left side (where I felt pain all day on O day) since 2dpo, very brief, but that hasn't happened to me before after O. So of course it's getting my hopes WAY up, which is dumb, because for whatever reason I already feel out this cycle.

also, I am considering not temping until AF does or doesn't show. Anybody who does this have thoughts? I always temp at 6am, go to pee, take my thyroid meds, and go back to sleep till 7 on weekdays and whenever on weekends. During my TWW though I am so hyped /freaked out/BSC by any temp movement whatsoever that I can never go back to sleep, and just lay in bed awake with my head spinning. I'd like to be able to sleep those extra hours a week, but I don't know if not temping would make that better or worse.

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck?

I'm with @krisnicole23 , I love to bake! I usually do a from scratch brownies or a crescent roll/cream cheese/pie filling dish. Yum!

kellybean1988 · April 2016

Looks like I'm in good company with other bakers here, too! Holla @Sparty18 (ps so great to see you over here!) and @NamelessAria !

moosette113 · April 2016

@Sparty18 what does one dip in cookie dough hummus? Do you just do bread/crackers, or go straight for biscotti?

Month/cycle: 2/1 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 32/maybe 7?

Timing: benched

Testing: none

R/R/CS: I'm fairly certain I belong here, even though it took discarding 2/3 of my chart for FF to recognize it. *Question* Does everyone set a time default in FF, or do you record the actual time you temp? After searching, it seems like the consensus is that the time you temp isn't as important as making sure you're sleeping 3 hours. FF places open circles over everything that isn't exactly at the same time, even if it's a half hour early. So is it better to just fool FF into thinking I'm temping at the same time every day, or let it continue giving me open circles?

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck? I'll bring bruschetta if all the desserts are already taken, but the flourless "chocolate idiot cake" I make always go over well.

RatsPJ · April 2016

@rkstro2 sorry for CD1.
@zoey1019 FX spotting stays away for you!
@dogmomwantinghuman Grey's has been a sob fest for me the last several episodes.

Month/cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 46/9

Timing: -2 because we started early, and then the multiple LH surges got us like

Testing: my temp went down yesterday and even lower today. Still above CL, so if it goes back up tomorrow I'll test, but if not then I'm considering myself out.

R/R/CS: Snow. Everywhere. WHY.

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck? Buffalo chicken dip! We got a recipe from a friend and perfected it from there, subbing bleu cheese for ranch and using extra Frank's

hanshotfirst77 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: -4,-3,-2,-1,0,+1

Testing: holding out for 12 dpo hopefully

R/R/CS: on the fence about wether to temp during TWW or not. If I do I know it will just drive me nuts. But if I don't then I won't have my chart all filled out for comparisons.

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck?

im a dessert girl too. Usually brownies.

britters314 · April 2016

@moosette113 I put in the actual time I temp (though I do have it default to 6 - I just change it if it's different). Three days a week I temp at 5:30 and 4 days at 6:00 and FF gives me closed circles for all of those.

@krisnicole23 It is! I use Chocolate Covered Katie's recipe if you want to look it up.

@moosette113 We use graham crackers and celery. I'm sure biscotti would be awesome though, too!

LadyMillil · April 2016

Hugs @dogmomwantinghuman . Like you, I wanted a baby by the time I was 30 and I'll be 30 in 5 weeks, and I know how you feel :S I know we can't plan out our lives because stuff happens, but I never thought that I'd be struggling with this.

krisnicole23 · April 2016

@Sparty18 Awesome,I totally am! Thank you!

cabu14 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 25/6

Timing: -3,-2,-1,+1

Testing: BSC syndrome demands I begin at 7dpo. I am not ashamed. maybe a little.

R/R/CS: Not much going on today. I slept in until 10am.. because I had a really long week.. and DH left early this morning for a tractor auction.. country problems.. and so no one was home to tell me to get up or bang things around and wake me up. it was completely awesome. I don't remember the last time I slept that late. It feels so good. Usually I am up around 7 or 730 on Saturdays.

I am enjoying the quiet.. with my cup of coffee and morning dose of the Bump.

**wishful thinking** I think I am going to purchase something online today for if we ever do get pregnant.. how I will tell the hubz. I am going to purchase mugs that say mama bear and papa bear, and bring him his coffee in it and wait until he notices. It will be perfect (and hopefully I get to use them) because I have an obsession with coffee mugs. My favorite part of the day is to have my cup of coffee or tea in the morning, and picking out my favorite mug at the time is half of the feels. So really, this is just a ploy for me to be able to buy two more cute mugs!! He picks on me all the time for this so he will have a giggle.

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck? I don't really like to cook.. so usually we bring an appetizer. If I am in charge its fruit, if the hubz is in charge it's popcorn. everybody loves his popcorn. I think I am switching to deviled eggs though.. no one seems to be bringing those around anymore and I love them.

ETA.. totally purchased the mugs.. they will hopefully become the most expensive mugs in the cupboard. Gesh.

cabu14 · April 2016

@FracesGrace630 Sorry for the BFN

@Zoey1019 I am sorry for your tough ttc day.. I am with you on the hard time last night. It seems like all facebook is these days is about people getting KU.. and someone yesterday had to show me all 100 pictures of there new grandson and a video! Thanks but no thanks.

@Rkstro2 sorry to hear CD1

@Dogmomwantinghuman I’m sorry for tough TTC day I am 29 and want the same thing I watched that episode of Grey’s too – I felt the same way.. when the girl confessed about her pregnancy I looked over at my hubz… and he was already looking at me.

@Sparty18 I would say CD14 as well.. but I don’t know anything about CBAD.. so I would usually just sit quietly while others answer your question.. but I decided to add my two cents in today.

@Namelessaria my bsc is in full gear to.. I am embracing it.. looking at charts on FF however I have no willpower like you.. I fully plan to start POAS tomorrow morning.. even though I am fully aware of the "undue stress of ambiguous results" it may cause.

MonaLisaRalphio · April 2016

Month/cycle: 6/4

CD/DPO: 31/10

Timing: ...-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, O, +1...

Testing: BFN on my last FRER this morning, but don't worry, I bought another two-pack today.

R/R/CS: Aaaaaaaaand now I have to go to a baby shower.

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck? I'm usually dips girl. I make a mean home-made french onion dip. I'm also a guacamole champion, and I can work wonders with an artichoke. Since I got a Kitchenaid, I've gotten pretty good at making bread, too. I really like to cook, though, so I try to mix it up.

SnobunnieMel · April 2016

Month/cycle: 5/3 (1/1 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 39/7

Timing: -4,-1,+1

Testing: I moved my wondfos and cups out of my bathroom when our cleaning lady so my hubby will hear me dig around under the vanity for them. This should keep me from testing early since I told him Tuesday is the earliest I can start. We will see if I move some before bed to test earlier. Really had to fight the urge today

R/R/CS: have to rave about my hubs. I broke down and confessed my BSC to him yesterday. He was really sympathetic about how difficult this time for me is right now after everything that's happened in the last few weeks. That being said, it's even worse today.

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck?

i love to bring a pasta salad with grape tomatoes, olive oil, feta cheese and fresh basil. My fall back is an avocado cucumber salad

loveinak · April 2016

Month/cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 29/10

Timing: good

Testing: BFN.

R/R/CS: I actually shouted, "Seriously?! Come on!" to my Wondfo this morning.

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck? Banana cream pie trifle or mini cheesecakes with toppings. I love baking and take advantage of any opportunity. The last thing I need is baked goods in my home!

@NamelessAria I have been googling the craziest things.
My most recent: Loud grumbling stomach a sign of early pregnancy?
I feel like my BSC is more under control when I'm googling, until I go back the next day and see my search history.

sarah0985 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 12/9

CD/DPO: 36/9

Timing: 0and -5

Testing: Monday morning

R/R/CS: I am not sure what's happening. Ridiculously low temps and now spotting. But lp is usually 13-14ish. So I keep checking to see if I've gotten my period because usually my temps drop right before my period. (Day of or day before)
A little confused at the moment.

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck?
home made mac and cheese or I love baking new things. I also make a mean deviled egg and love to dye them based on whatever the occasion is! @namelessaria yours are just too cute! I love those!!!

TheJerilu · April 2016

I'm out - headed over to WTO. Hope to never see you ladies there!

Liss_37 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 4 /4

CD/DPO: 21 / 7

Timing: good

Testing: next week maybe

R/R/CS: I just have this feeling that I'm out this cycle. Of course you're never out until AF shows herself but I just have this blah feeling.. I've been in this gloomy mood all day today and I can't seem to shake it. I keep snapping at DH for no reason. My back hurts and I feel like AF is coming any time even tho it would be a week early. but who the heck knows lol

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck? I usually bring a greek pasta salad or a curry rice salad with apples and raisins!

edited cause I forgot to add month/cycle

loveinak · April 2016

@lisswastaken Sorry you're feeling out. The TWW is the worst. FX for you.

Liss_37 · April 2016

thanks @loveinak FX for you too!!

kd0202 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 30/9

Timing: good

Testing: I told myself I would wait until tomorrow but I didn't. BFN this morning. Ill probably test every morning until I get AF.

R/R/CS: I've only been off of BC for about 8 weeks now and I feel like the hormones are really messing with my emotions and energy. Feeling kind of depressed this morning. No reason and it's not an emotional feeling of sadness it's more like a huge energy drop and desire to stay in bed all day because everything feels blah. Hoping it will get better soon.

GTKY - I love to cook but when it comes to potlucks I usually bring salad. i don't even like salad I just usually run out of time to make something.

mrsjqg1024 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 20/6

Timing: ...-1, O

Testing: Friday

R/R/CS-So my temp dropped more than 1/2 degree this morning. Que the BSC. I feel like if it were an implantation dip, it would be later in my cycle. No clue what to think so I'm just gonna try not to overthink it (yea right).

GTKY - What is your go-to dish you always bring to a potluck? I usually bring a yummy taco dip!

NamelessAria · April 2016

Sorry about the BFNs @FrancesGrace630 @Zoey1019 @sLass42 @MonaLisaRalphio

Sorry you're feeling out @dogmomwantinghuman @sarah0985 @lisswastaken

Sorry about CD1: @rkstro2 @TheJerilu
