kellybean1988 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 26/9

Timing: --1, +1

Testing: I can't believe I haven't tested yet!! I know I said 12dpo, but I'm thinking 11dpo (Saturday) now. I want to be able to crawl into bed and wallow in self pity after a BFN, not have to go to church and be around people, lol.

R/R/CS: I have been SO TIRED lately, which I'm sure is a result of my reduced thyroid med dosage. I fell asleep last night at 9:30 PM, people! I woke up at 11pm to pee and noticed that DH had turned the ceiling fan on!!!! Ahhh!!

Fortunately, I turned it off, and was able to turn it on again after temping this morning, so he never noticed

In addition, I have just been feeling soooo shitty lately. Basically I think spring allergies finally got me like

but at the same time, my potentially KU brain is like, "well obv one of the earliest signs of pregnancy is sneezing all time time" lol, wtf. My temp DID go up this morning, so FX that's a good sign.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant?

I gotta go with orchids. I love me some orchids! I just think they're so delicate, classy, and gorgeous.

sldp123 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: -4, -1

Testing: Testing out my trigger. I only had a squinter this morning, so it looks like it should be gone soon, then I can wait for a line that counts.

R/R/CS: After a couple of chart stalks yesterday (thank you!) I think maybe I actually did O on CD13, same day as trigger. I had a big follicle that day (25mm) so maybe I was already surging before the trigger, even though my OPK was negative. If that's the case, hopefully I O'd late in the day on CD13 because we had sex that night and it could have been timed just right. If I take out the +OPK (which was expected because of the trigger anyway) I get dotted CHs for CD13. So I don't know, but I'm just going to try to stop obsessing, keep my O date the same, and if I'm actually further ahead, then great! My temps are also still weirdly steady and lower than normal for me post-O.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant? I'm not a huge flower person, but I do like lilies. I also love the look of all of the different color mums in the fall.

babymish · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 18/4

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

Testing: 11dpo, potentially earlier

R/R/CS: I'm a SS maniac, it needs to stop. I have an acupuncture appointment this evening and I'm going to ask her if she can stick a needle somewhere that will make this cold go away. No idea if that's a thing.

TTC related: I have the highest 1-4 dpo temps ever, I usually peter around 97.4/97.5 at this stage but they have just gone up and up and are sitting at my highest point which I don't usually reach until 9dpo. Hoping it is making my ute warm and toasty for some magic to happen.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant?

Nice question! I love so many flowers! But one's that always make me stop and stare if I am walking past a flower stall are the pale pink cabbage roses.

Zoey1019 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 29 / ?

Timing: Don't know anymore

Testing: everyday just to be sure!

R/R/CS: Welp, "14" DPO and no sign of AF, the past 2 cycles I have had a perfect 15 day LP, and yes, you are normal until you are not, but UGGGGG....I could get AF tomorrow/Saturday, but I doubt it, no spotting, etc...I really think my O date is off, somewhere between CD15 and CD 20...doubt it was as late as CD 20. I stopped doing OPK's after CD 18, it was kind of dark in the morning again, which was weird because I thought it had peaked already....guess what....all I can do is wait!!!!!!!!!!

BUT...you guys, looks how pretty my chart is after O! I have been sleep training myself and now all the dots are beautiful....

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant?

I LOVE gardenias. Can't keep them alive, but they smell so good and are so beautiful!

hanshotfirst77 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 26/10

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

Testing: This is the longest I've gone without testing and its killing me! I've rationalized myself down from 12dpo to 11dpo, so tomorrow it is!

R/R/CS: Non TTC related rave so some of you know how ive been a little frustrated at work lately, well being honest its been like a few months now. So I had started just applying here and there to see what happened. And I got a call yesterday about a really great sounding job. I have an interview next week! The pay and benefits seem really good and it would be a step up from what I am doing now. My only worry is that if I am KU and I start a new job now, what will I do about Mat leave. I think you need to be working there a certain number of months before FMLA will kick in. But what I read about their benefits so far says Short term disability kicks in once you are hired so hopefully that means I can still go on leave. Look at me havent even had the interview yet and already thinking about how will I go on mat leave since im obviously totally KTFU lol...

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant?

I have always loved daisies.

mrsjqg1024 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 25/11

Timing: 1, 0

Testing: BFN at 9DPO, will test again tomorrow

R/R/CS: Was feeling super confident this cycle and now I'm just, not. I actually feel ok though, just trying to stay positive either way I guess. FF is pissing me off though and only give me CH with the "research" detector. With the recommended one it think I haven't O'd. I call bs. It is my first month temping so hopefully it just needs more time. I had one hell of a temp drop at 6dpo and I think that made it confused. Inserting if anyone wants to chart stalks. Who the heck knows. Testing tomorrow since I'm going away for a Bach party this weekend. If it's BFN I really wanna drink my face off but will probably reign it in a bit just to be on the safe side.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant?

I love peonies!! Any color.

Zoey1019 · April 2016

@kellybean1988 woo hoo for holding out! good job! I am thankful I bought a 25 pack of Wondo's or else I would be spending a LOT of money...!!
@sldp123 sounds like you have great time regardless

@babymish warm ute sounds perfect for baby making! I hope your temps stay up!
@JediAlly85 Congrats on the potential new job! That is exciting! I vote to just go with the flow, see what happens, things will work themselves out

l9i · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/3 *TTCAL*

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: -5, -2, 0, +1

Testing: No plans right now

R/R/CS: We just booked a vacation for the end of the month so I'm pretty excited for that. Even better was that we booked a large majority of it using points from our credit card which we earned during our last trip in the fall!

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant? I love dahlias! They are in my picture

Liss_37 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 4 /4

CD/DPO:26 / 12

Timing: Good

Testing: BFN This morning on a cheapie

R/R/CS: I wasn't even going to test today, I feel like AF is imminent because my back hurts and I just feel the way I normally do at this point. But last night I kept having dreams that I got a BFP. I would wake up excited and then realize it was a dream, and then go back asleep and it would happen again. I felt like it would be a sign and when I actually did the test and got a BFN I was so sad and disappointed and I felt stupid. I know I shouldn't but that's how my day started. I'm going to wait until after AF is supposed to come before I test again (or try). 2 days to go. spotting normally starts anytime.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant? I love lilies

thj101 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 17/5

Timing: +1

Testing: Not planning on it.. Unless AF doesn't show.

R/R/CS: I'm 5 DPO... and I'm SS... that's where I'm at right now... acne like a mo-fo and nausea to boot. Totes KU right?! The acne thing is really weird though... I had battled hormonal acne for about 4 years.. I was on BCP and another oral med (spironolactone) to treat it. In October, (my 29th birthday to be exact) I stopped taking both. (I had tapered off of the spironolactone per my doctor's request in anticipation of going off of it completely in October) My skin has been fine acne wise (I'm still very sensitive) up until now... and the hormonal breakouts are back, and they hurt. I cannot go back on the oral med I was taking for it, because it has potential to cause birth defects.. so that's out... Not sure what to do now. Hopefully it's just a flare that will go away....

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant? Hands down the Peony... Next is peach colored roses.. I have DH talked into planting some Peony plants this fall.. I can't wait to have my own!

emmaleighbug · April 2016

@JediAlly85 I have been fumbling around with the same issues with work/thinking of new employment. I am pretty sure it's a full 12 months before FMLA kicks in, which is stupid (I say now, as someone who doesn't like her job and is TTC) - so my 'solution' is just to tough it out, although it doesn't feel like a solution, it feels like a frigging punishment, and every BFN is a slap in the face. Edit to add:: But good luck though!! I've still been keeping an eye out myself and gone to a few interviews that didn't work out - I suck at interviews!! I just worry that my current work situation is causing too much stress, but this last month I've had a good handle on it.

Month/Cycle: 7

CD/DPO: 19/1

Timing: -4, -2, -1, O

Testing: I will try to wait until the 24th, 11 DPO, but I just got a ton of new pregnancy tests (half hoping to jinx myself and not need them), so I might go a little nuts this month. Just downloaded FF Mobile, and it tells me to wait until May 2nd to test since I don't have enough info in there yet. THAT'S not happening! Another app I use to track my period says to expect it the 26th and it's usually dead on, so I'm hoping it's not toooooo early.

R/R/CS: Wtf is up with a TWW anyway? waiting sucks.

I bought a basal thermometer several months ago and have still never used it. Maybe if I get a BFN this month, I will finally start temping. This month is the first time I used OPKs and I loved it. I feel so much happier with this cycle because now I KNOW our timing was great.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant?

I like big ones, and ones with super flappy, delicate looking petals. Poppy, hibiscus, hydrangea...all kinds. I've been thinking about some flower beds I want to put in at our new house (moved in last May), so I've been finding lots of new ones I love.

l9i · April 2016

@kellybean1988 I'm that person that turns the fan on and makes DH mad!
@JediAlly85 Good luck for new job prospects!!
@mrsjqg1024 FX for good results on your testing!

kfair001 · April 2016

Back later for more comments!

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 25/7

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, 0

Testing: Still sticking to my plan of waiting until AF is late.

R/R/CS: So… temp is still way high. Again, not thinking too far into it! My temps are a lot more gradual this cycle which is different than past cycles. I love this charting stuff, it’s so interesting!

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant? My favorite used to be Orchids but then someone said that they look like a vagina which they totally do! There is absolutely nothing wrong with a flower looking like a vagina but now every time I see an orchid I giggle a little! DH sent flowers to my work on Monday for my birthday! So, I think these are my fave!

Sparty18 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 8/9

CD/DPO: 22/8

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

Testing: 11 DPO per agreement with @DoctorDonna

R/R/CS: Not much to rant or rave about today, I am just glad the week is almost over. Still staying strong with not playing around in FF.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant?
I'm with @mrsjqg1024 & @thj101 - I love peonies.

minipig90 · April 2016

Hey everybody! I was active on these forums a couple months ago, and then I needed a break from posting. Sorry for disappearing!

I've been lurking like crazy, though, and have had my fingers crossed for everybody here! Hope it's okay if I jump back in!

Month/Cycle: 3 TTC

CD/DPO: 19/6ish (using Clearblue Advanced OPKS, not temping...)

Timing: All the days

Testing: 12 DPO

R/R/CS: Having a lot more white, creamy CM than I have noticed in previous cycles, which I am hoping might be a good sign that progesterone is doin' its thing. Rant: I teach at the university level, and last night, I thought I had all my lesson plans ready. But at 11 PM, just when the hubby and I were ready to get cozy, I realized that I had tomorrow's date totally wrong and I'm supposed to be teaching something else today. I decided that the hubby and I need to watch our TV show anyway. So not super prepared for my classes.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant? My name means "lily" in a lot of languages, including Hebrew. So obviously, lilies are my favorite flower. At my wedding, all my bridesmaids and I carried a big single calla lily.

picklesplease · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 8/7

CD/DPO: 25/8

Timing: -3, -2

Testing: Due to a compromise with my DPO buddy, @Sparty18, I will be waiting until 11 DPO.

Image: https://media.giphy.com/media/ZdlN56usaKaQg/giphy.gif

R/R/CS: Not Bump related, but last night DH's best friend stopped by our house. He arrived a little early, so I got the full story before DH got home. BF has been dealing with some depression and his girlfriend couldn't handle it anymore, so she kicked him out of their house. Guess who's going to be staying with us for a while? I love him, but I'm not sure if/how long this arrangement is going to work out. Obviously, he's welcome to stay as long as he wants, because he's taken in DH before (before I met them both). I felt so bad for him. He looked like a lost puppy.

Other than that, I've been down the rabbit hole of Dr. Google and "early pregnancy signs 8 DPO." Oy Vey....

Image: https://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/down_the_rabbit_hole.gif

No nausea or anything to speak of. Just a tightness in my lower abdomen that is so uncomfortable, I can't sleep on my stomach. I'm trying hard not to SS but I have no idea if this is "normal" for me because I've been on BCP for so long...

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant?
Yellow Roses. I loved them so much they were in my wedding bouquet.

LadyBrettAshley23 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 19/9

Timing: -3, 0, +1

Testing: When AF is late!

R/R/CS: Happy I haven't tested yet. Trying to finish out the work week strong and plan some fun for this weekend to make the time go by faster. I've definitely felt TTC stress this month so whatever I can do to take my mind off of it is helpful.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant? I like a lot of flowers. I guess maybe hydrangeas and tulips are my favorites. I love something simple and rustic like this:

I'm also obsessed with succulents because look at these:

sLass42 · April 2016

@kellybean1988 Hope the temp dip leads to good things
@sldp123 Fx for good timing
@babymish Fx for good things from high temps

**Chart Stalking Encouraged**
Month/Cycle: 8/6

CD/DPO: 49/5

Timing: -1, O, +1

Testing: bfn 4/7, pos opk cd44

R/R/CS: FF says to test at cd 58, longest wait ever. But I used my last ic on cd43 and I'm waiting on amazon this weekend. I'm just anxious for the opks to make sure I don't miss a real O, but my temps have stayed up so I'm thinking cd44 was it. I want to get to cd1 at this point so FF will hurry up and give me a coverline. I'd like a chart stalk, but I honestly don't know what I'm looking for. I'm just ss at this point and overlaying my chart on FF constantly.

Today's waiting gif...

ETA: Serious SS going on. I just hit the bathroom at work and (tmi) after a bm ended up with a streak of bright blood in the toilet. Just a pin pricks worth. Checked CM and no blood, wiped no blood. I'm now having weird cramps on the sides of my belly button and in my abdomen when I cough. Boobs are suddenly on fire after lunch. FF says cd58 to test, but if I did happen to O earlier (like cd33) then this could be AF on the way...could be IB...I just don't know gwaahh! I have one frer left and ic's are on the way so I will wait.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant?
I love dogwood trees. We had one at my house growing up and I have a tattoo of a dogwood

@kellybean1988 omg I love that squirrel gif, it made me laugh out loud at my desk hahah

@babymish - I have never seen cabbage roses before.. those are stunning!! I wonder if they would do well in a Canadian climate?? I'll have to check into that

@jedially85 - sorry about your work issues, that really sucks

@l9i YAY for vacations!! where are you headed?? Jealous!

@kfair001 that's a GORGEOUS arrangement of flowers!!

juliebeannn · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 19/5

Timing: none

Testing: none

R/R/CS: Day 3 of back pain. Ugh. I have to lay down to put pants on and even that hurts. Ugh.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant? I kind of love cherry blossoms and lilies. So pretty.

LadyBrettAshley23 · April 2016

@kellybean1988 Good morning, DPO buddy! I know how you feel since other months I usually start testing around now. I guess I'm trying to wait since the BFNs keep adding up and I hate seeing them. Whenever you decide to test, I'll be rooting for you! Great Andy Dwyer gif, btw!

@babymish I love cabbage roses too, so pretty!

@JediAlly85 fingers crossed for a BFP tomorrow!!

@lisswastaken I'm so sorry about your BFP dreams. I haven't had one before but it sounds stressful and heartbreaking. Hugs to you.

@Sparty18 those peonies are beautiful! Good to see your compromise with @DoctorDonna ... maybe we should have done that, @kellybean1988 ? Then I would get to test earlier!!

hanshotfirst77 · April 2016

@emmaleighbug Yes I think it is ridiculous too! Im sorry you are having job issues too. I am really torn because I definitely want to be able to take as much leave as I can. But at the same time, I cant deal with all the stress and the extra money would really help us out. FX for both of us!

kfair001 · April 2016

@kellybean1988 Keep holding out! You can do it. Only a couple more days!! I can relate on the tired feeling! I’ve been exhausted lately.

@sldp123 Yeah, I’d agree with CD 13 too. That cover line is way high!

@babymish FX your cold goes away soon. I have a scratchy throat that my body is trying to get rid of. Hopefully my immune system prevails!

@Zoey1019 Your chart is very nice post O. No open circles! Isn’t is crazy to see how much better your charts get each cycle because your body is getting used to the temping and waking up!? I love it!

@JediAlly85 Haha I don’t blame ya. Waiting as long as you have is super impressive to me!!!

@mrsjqg1024 Sorry about the BFN but still early!

@I9i Yay for vacations! I have to figure my life out and book some time off pronto!

@lisswastaken Sorry about BFN hopefully AF stays away and that it’s still too early!

@Sparty18 Yay for staying strong! OMG peonies! I’m not going to lie I don’t think I’ve ever heard of those (I don’t know my flowers well enough) but they’re beautiful! BTW, you totally have my vote for cutest baby animal. I could legit watch that all day!

@minipig90 FX that you’re able to wing it through those lessons today!

@DoctorDonna @Sparty18 Yay for the POAS buddy system!!! lol FX that the outcome for both of you is a nice BFP!!!

@LadyBrettAshley23 Fx that you’re able to stay distracted this week and the stress doesn’t get to you!

@sLass42 Chart overlay the best! But it can drive us all BSC!

@juliebeannn There is seriously nothing worse than back pain. I have chronic back issues as I have Spondylitis and when I get a flare up it can be debilitating so I feel your pain! Hope it feels better soon!

britters314 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 28/13

Timing: -4, -3, 0

Testing: No more

R/R/CS: Temp drop today so I'm out. I expect my period today or tomorrow. I had a talk with H last night and we've decided we're going to switch to NTNP. Some personal and medical things have come up that make me not in such a hurry to get pregnant, though not so bad that we need to TTA. Also, if we reach the year mark while NTNP it won't be as upsetting as if we were TTC, especially since we can't afford to do any treatments at that point anyway. Part of NTNP means I'm going to stop posting here regularly (though I'll probably still lurk every so often). Hopefully I'll be able to see you all over in a BMB soon!

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant?
I'm a weirdo and I really really like dandelions (before they turn white and poofy)

Zoey1019 · April 2016

@kfair001 your charts really show that progression! You can really tell how three months ago it was so much more all over the place! Now how to keep weekend temps looking nice even with drinking....hmmm

@britters314 I am so sorry to hear about the temp drop

This can all be so overwhelming and stressful, I hope you find some peace in NTNP!

Liss_37 · April 2016

@britters314 I'm sorry about the temp drop, and also about the issues that are coming up. You need to do what's best for you, for sure. I'll miss seeing your regular posts and hope you'll post every now and then to keep us updated. Good luck!!

p.s. I love dandelions too. DH hates them but I love seeing lawns full of them

Month/Cycle: 2/1 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 37/whatever. 12 if i discard the first 2/3 of my chart, 4 if you trust FF with all the data

Timing: benched

Testing: none

R/R/CS: ***TW loss, abortion*** I had the shittiest encounter with a pharmacist yesterday, and I'm still so pissed off. He decided it was appropriate to lecture me on how I didn't need lactase pills, but that I instead needed to get the inflammation in my body under control, which was evidenced by the severe acne on my face (thanks for pointing it out). I told him the two were unrelated, and that the acne was hormonal. He didn't believe me, so I told him I was just pregnant, and now I'm not. Which he pretty clearly took as an indication that I had gotten an elective abortion (instead of my actual MMC and D&C) based on his suddenly terse answers. Frankly, it doesn't matter whether my procedure was elective or not, his interactions with me were so totally uncalled for. And instead of telling him to f*** off, I was polite and told him to have a nice day. Because I don't have enough backbone in these types of situations.

Unrelated, I thought I would mess around with FF today and un-discard the first 2/3 of my chart, which resulted in moving O date up 8 days...

krisnicole23 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 26/ 12 I blieve

Timing: -1

Testing: Another BFN on FRER ughh.. I lurked on other forums and read about some women who got bfn everyday until like 15 or 16 dpo. I just don't think I'm going to be one of those women. I see just as much women get a bfp before then. I know 12 dpo can still be considered early, but I just have this intuition that I'm out this month.

R/R/CS: After getting depressed about another BFN this morning, I mentally thought about the things I could do differently next month, and besides temping, there's really not much I'd change. I guess nature just needs to do its thing and it will happen when it's truly meant to be. I'm still really bummed out though.
I did make a list of everything I'm going to do when/if AF arrives that I couldn't do if I got ku. Redo my roots, try out a new wine I haven't had before, sushi date, are a few things. Maybe it will make it less miserable.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant?
White Roses.

*TW: pregnancy announcement, not mine*

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 24/8

Timing: -1...coulda, shoulda, woulda been better.

Testing: Still holding out for 12DPO.

R/R/CS: My best friend of over 20 years told me she is pregnant with #2 yesterday and I couldn't be more thrilled! But it has also changed my attitude from calm, cool and collected to super bsc and anxious because I would love nothing more than to be pregnant along side of her. Sigh. This HAS to be our cycle! I know all things will be fine if it's not...but...well, I know you ladies know what I'm talking about.

GTKY: I love lilacs because they remind me of my childhood. My grandparents had two huge lilac bushes in their yard and I picked them for my Gram or my mom everyday when they were in blossom!

Testing: Guessing AF will make her grand appearance before I can

R/R/CS: Yesterday I was feeling confident, today I'm not. Temp down a little this morning. Boo, ugh. But I've been adjusting to my husband's night schedule, so when I took my temp when I actually woke up this morning, it was way up. Can I just use that?

Also had a dream that my sister in law was KU and I was all sad and jealous. Boo. I'm the worst.

GTKY: April showers bring May flowers! What's your favorite flower/plant? Peonies!

Responses round 1!

I just met with THE nicest high school senior and her mom. She is down to deciding between us and another university—I hope she picks us!!

@sldp123 Sounds like you’re thinking positive about your chart! All too often “wait and see” is the answer to our quandaries. Sigh.

@babymish Those pale pink cabbage roses are gorgeous! I know you are in the UK, and I have to admit, gardens here in the US have NOTHING on y’alls gardens over there. My family is from Scotland and we visited both England/Scotland when I was little, and I was in constant awe of the beautiful gardens! Hoping your ute is getting warm and toasty

@Zoey1019 Thanks! I think I can hold out till 11dpo now that I’ve made it this far…we’ll see! Hope you get answers soon--the waiting is the worst!

@JediAlly85 Sounds like we’ve both broken our resolve to wait ‘till 12dpo, but I think we both owe ourselves a pat on the back for even waiting this long—we can make it till 11dpo! Ditto, it’s driving me insane. FX for a BFP for you tomorrow! Congrats on your interview—hope you get it!

@mrsjqg1024 I hate when FF messes up CH and your suspected O date. I hope you get some answers soon!

@l9i Haha it normally doesn’t make me mad when DH turns the fan on and usually I like it, but I didn’t want it to (like this can even happen, probably not!) eff with my temp this am. Enjoy your vacation this month!

@lisswastaken I’m so glad you love the gif! That one is so funny. So sorry for the BFN, and for those awful BFP dreams. Hopefully you turn a test in the next few days!

@thj101 Hmmm, hoping your acne is just a flare that will go away. Among many of the reasons I loathe the TWW is because if I have headaches/other symptoms, I feel like I can’t treat them with meds because idk whether or not I’m KU, so I feel you on that one.

@emmaleighbug Oooh, I agree with your fave flower choices! So pretty!

@kfair001 Thanks so much! OMG I laughed so hard when you said orchids look like vaginas! They totally do, but I’m still keeping them as my answer That bouquet that your DH sent you is GORGEOUS! Good job to him!

@Sparty18 I am in awe of your willpower to not play around in FF—keep up the good work!

@minipig90 Welcome back! Ahhh so sorry you didn’t feel prepared for your classes today. I’m sure you will do just fine!

@DoctorDonna I’m so sorry to hear about your DH’s friend and that situation. I hope he is feeling better about things soon! Yeah I googled “sneezing an early sign of pregnancy”, so I am RIGHT there with you. Lolz. Your wedding bouquet is gorgeous!

@LadyBrettAshley23 Look at us, still staying strong on the not testing front! If you wanna make a pact like DoctorDonna/Sparty18, I’m down! I’m definitely testing at 11dpo, no sooner though…but if you decide to test w/ me on 11dpo I will forget you ever told yourself you’d hold out until AF was late And if you still wanna hold out, that’s fine too! And HOW IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY DID I FORGET SUCCULENTS?! I love those things.

@sLass42 Me too, thanks! I think your O date could either be 44 or 45, since CD45 temp was either not taken or discarded? I hate waiting too—I hope it goes quickly for you!

@juliebeannn I’m so sorry about your back pain—I hope it goes away soon!

@britters314 So sorry about the temp drop. I completely understand about NTNP, and think that it’s important for you to do what’s right for you. Thinking of you!

@LadyMillil so sorry about the bfn and the spotting.

@moosette113 Dude, f*** that pharmacist .That is HORRIBLE. I’m so sorry you had to go through that ,what a jerk. Thinking of you!

@krisnicole23 It always helps me to look forward to the things I can do each cycle that I’m NOT KU (for me that’s mostly drinking copious amounts of booze). It sounds like you’ve got some great stuff planned, but as they say—you’re not out until you’re out! Sorry for the BFN, I’m keeping my FX for you!

kellybean1988 · April 2016

Whoops, missed a couple! Sorry ladies!

@aurelie00 I know exactly what you’re talking about with your friend and the BSC. Hoping this is your cycle!

@PensiveCrayon You can ABSOLUTELY use the DH night schedule issue and blame your temp dip on that!

Found this on Facebook today. Not to cause mass-hysteria, just wanted everyone to be aware. The CDC confirms that Zika causes Microcephaly. Here's the article:

The site is reputable. Take care, friends.

Mythril · April 2016

I'm just over here to let the people who were being so supportive yesterday know that I had another low temp this morning which confirmed that I hadn't actually ovulated. I wish I hadn't spent a week feeling on cloud nine, but I haven't given up. So I'm going back over to wto and waiting for my next round of Clomid.

babymish · April 2016

Sorry to hear that @Mythril it must be incredibly frustrating. I have everything crossed for you for next time.

kfair001 · April 2016

@britters314 Sorry about the temp drop.

@LadyMillil Sorry about the BFN. Still early though!

@moosette113 OMG!!!! I would have given him an earful. That is sooooo incredibly inappropriate for him to assume! That just ruffled my feathers big time!!!

@krisnicole23 Sorry about the BFN and that you’re feeling out this month.
