babymish · April 2016

Month/cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 23/9

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

Testing: 11 DPO for drinking purposes

R/R/CS: for the first time in my ttc history I managed to refrain from testing on 9dpo. It feels so good to finally be in control of my pee'ing habits.

After seeing that BFN yesterday (despite it being early) I realised I never want to see an unessesary negative test again. I have a work black tie event on Thursday so will need to test that day as a lot of drinking will be expected.

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets?

Yep, I don't know in which form but there just has to be. I'd like to think there is intelligent life out there somewhere. I love learning about space!

sldp123 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 10

CD/DPO: 23/9 or 10

Timing: Okay

Testing: Today was the first day I didn't test since the day after my trigger. Not sure when I will again if at all.

R/R/CS: ***warning, ridiculously long rant/vent/pity party for one to follow, feel free to skip***
So much for my pretty chart… huge temp drop today. I temped 90 minutes earlier than normal so I don’t know if I can trust it, but I honestly feel like the time doesn’t matter as much as the sleep before temping. If I went back to sleep at all after temping, it was for maybe 10-20 minutes. When our alarms went off, DH asked me what my temp did and I told him it was really low and he was all, well you took it really early. So I took it again then and it was back up to where it should have been, but that’s meaningless, I wish I wouldn’t have even taken it a second time. He of course thinks it’s fine, he is so annoyingly optimistic through this whole process and it really pisses me off sometimes. Like for once can you just be sad or angry or disappointed with me, just for a minute?? I know all I can do is see how my temp looks tomorrow, hopefully after better sleep and at a normal time, and I’m trying not to let one temp dictate my mood, but it’s really fucking hard and I just feel like crying. JK I’ve actually been crying all morning. And while I’m having this giant pity party for myself, I guess I’ll just also throw it out there that it really stings to see people who are ten years younger than me with toddlers talk about how they feel like they are getting so behind with having #2. I know that no one means anything maliciously and everyone is entitled to feel however they feel at any point during this process, I truly do. I’m just having a bad TTC day and I know it’s not the Pain Olympics and all that. But I’m about to be 35 and my son is about to be 8 and will be at least 8.5-9+ when and if I ever even manage to have a second, so how far behind does that make me??

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? I don't really know. Sorry, I suck today.

QueenSunscreen · April 2016

Month/cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 27/8

Timing: -3, O

Testing: tomorrow - baseball game and I want a clear conscience for all of my baseball beers

. Then probably not again til 14 DPO because our timing wasn't great.

R/R/CS: my temps have been all over and FF moved my cross hairs to dotted today. Idk what's happening this cycle. I'm still fairly certain I did ovulate, but we'll see.

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets?

I think that there certainly is other life out there. Space is astounding and mind-bogglingly massive. Who the hell knows what's all out there beyond our short reach.

SandwichLover · April 2016

Good morning!

Month/cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 34/7 or maybe 8

Timing: -3 or -2

Testing: no plans!

R/R/CS: I had a really frustrating day at work yesterday. There is a guy at work who is technically higher than me but we both report to the same boss. Well he has been trying to get it so I report to him instead. He's tried this two times before already and yesterday he went straight to the ceo saying that our boss doesn't have enough time to manage sandwichlover and how he should step in. And he got the ceo to agree! Fortunately my boss (who I've worked for for 4 years and am pretty close with) got him to take it back. But wtf bro. Back up. I'm nervous it's only a matter of time before he gets it done though. I don't like this person and he has 0 idea what I do and can't mentor me like my current boss can. Sorry for the long non ttc rant!

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets?
Yes! I do. I like to think about it sometimes. I don't know where or what they'd be like but I'm sure they're out there!

@babymish I know how you feel with the unnecessary negative tests. I'm really trying to hold off for if my period is late.
@sldp123 hugs. So sorry you're having a tough time right now.

babymish · April 2016

@sldp123 I'm so sorry you are having a crappy day. I know it's hard but please try not to worry too much about your temp. After all its an interesting part of the cycle to get a temp drop and at this point certainly doesn't indicate the end. Tomorrow may make you feel so much better.

Also sorry insensitive comments got you down, you're not alone. I'll be 32 in a couple of months and have got #1 under my belt yet and I defo want at least 2.

Plus! Your son will be prime baby sitting age when your LO comes along! I bet he will be a great help and this way they each got lots of your attention at a young age. There is no set way you have to do things.

Hugs to you today! Hope you feel a little better soon.

l9i · April 2016

@babymish seeing unnecessary BFN is the my morning....

Month/cycle: 6/3 *TTCAL*

CD/DPO: 26/10

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

Testing: I tested this morning - BFN... I'll test again in a few days.

R/R/CS: *TW - previous BFP mentioned* When I was pregnant in the fall I tested on CD9 got a BFN and then again on CD 13 and got a BFP so I'm hoping a few days it all I need for good results! *end TW*

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? Yes, absolutely. With the vastness of the universe I think it's a bit naive to think we are the only possible life. If you've ever read into the ancient astronaut/alien theories it's fascinating. Yup, I'm that nerd.

KatieB2014 · April 2016

@sldp123 So sorry

Those days just stink! And I totally get it about DH. Sometimes when I get upset he gives me the dreaded "it will happen when it's suppose to happen..." I just want to throat chop him and say NO, IT'S EFFING SCIENCE YOU FOOL! Sorry. It just ticks me off so much.

Month/cycle: 18/15

CD/DPO: 28/7

Timing: Good

Testing: okay, I resisted this morning - thank goodness. I do have a Bachelorette party/wedding this weekend, so I'm thinking 10dpo for guilt free drinking.

R/R/CS: I am just sooooo tired. Like, hello-last-5-weeks-of-school-as-a-teacher tired. And I have to keep my energy up or my kiddos will just completely check out. I've been trying to avoid (or drastically cut down) on caffeine. Anyone else have this struggle? Or am I just totally pathetic?

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets?

I think there must be, in some form.

Lecool · April 2016

Month/cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: -5, -2, -1

Testing: Friday @ 10DPO

R/R/CS: I don't know why, but I'm really feeling like this isn't my month. I have all my usual pre-AF symptoms (Except bloating! Not sad to be missing that symptom this month) and my temps have been so rocky that I'm not even trying to analyze them at this point.

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets?
Totally. I think it's pretty unlikely that we're the only life out there. I don't necessarily think of them as extraterrestrials or aliens, just some other species of life.

Lecool · April 2016

@babymish Good job on having the will power!

@sldp123 I'm so sorry you're having a rough day. Sending you big, giant hugs.

PepperAT · April 2016

Month/ Cycle: 9/9

CD: 20/3?

Timing: -5 -3 -1 0 +2 (just in case)

Testing: I am already feeling the BSC set in, so I will probably cave early.

R/R/CS: Originally, FF gave me dotted CH for CD11, but this morning I got solid CH for CD17 with my first temp. I took my temp again 45 mins later, which was dumb, and when I put in that one it took my CH away all together. So I will just keep the first one for now and see how things go.
First day back to work today, the first day is always the hardest.

GTKY: I don't know about extraterrestrials, but I find it hard to believe that we are the only form of life out there, so I do believe there is something out there. Kinda cool to think about.

canavara · April 2016

Posting and ghosting, will be back to leave comments this afternoon.

Month/cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: -3, 0, +1

Testing: Nope!

R/R/CS: Hormones are just rocking my sleep this cycle. Getting 8+ hours of sleep a night but I'm on my fourth day in a row of just feeling utterly and completely drained. If I sit still for even a moment, I start to fall asleep.

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? Of course. Not in the traditional sense that we invision aliens, but life, yes. I swear though, when I was a kid... Unsolved Mysteries... I had so many nightmares of bug-eyed gray aliens waking me up in the middle of the night and taking me away

felix08 · April 2016

I'm lurking from WTO, but @sldp123 I just wanted to say I'm so sorry your day has got off to such a crummy start. I also totally relate to how you're feeling about your H. When I get so upset every month, he is always there trying to make me feel better and I'm just like WHY AREN'T YOU UPSET, TOO!? It's about both of us! And I also feel ya on getting frustrated towards some comments--I constantly have to remind myself that I shouldn't compare myself to others and that this process is difficult no matter where you're at in it. Anyway, I hope you treat yourself somehow today to make yourself feel better. We're here for ya!

eta: you're not your, ugh

minipig90 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 3 TTC

CD/DPO: 24/11

Timing: All the days

Testing: Today--BFN

R/R/CS: I thought I wasn't going to test until tomorrow, but I caved today. The starkest white BFN. I feel terrible. I'm not going to test again this cycle unless AF doesn't come. Also, I have 30 term papers to grade as well as my own classes to complete as a grad student. Can I retire?

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? The universe is pretty big, y'all.

thj101 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 22/10

Timing: +1

Testing: currently trying to hold out...

R/R/CS: 2 pregnancy announcements via Facebook yesterday, and ANOTHER friend told me she had a dream I was pregnant. I just wish it would stop... all of it. I had a brief thought about testing this morning, but I didn't because I had to pee so bad I just didn't take the time to unwrap the test from the box *laziness level: MASTER*

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? I think so.... but I've never really given it much thought.

MelissaM090 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing: Way too early for those shenanigans!

R/R/CS: Had kind of a temp dip this morning JUST below the coverline (but still generally higher than most of the temps this cycle) so FF took my crosshairs away. I think I was just cold in general when I woke up. What the hell. It's tempting to adjust it higher, otherwise it doesn't think I ovulated when I'm pretty positive I did.

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? I'm not so arrogant to believe that there COULDN'T be but I'm kind of skeptical about things I can't vouch for myself.

thj101 · April 2016

@sldp123 I know exactly what you mean... my DH is the same way... last month he says, "We'll get there" and it's like no, we won't! because we had perfect timing last month, and it still didn't happen! I'm just not sure that they fully understand it all.. I try to be patient with him, but sometimes it's hard.

teamginger13 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 17/20 I think

CD/DPO: 15/2

Timing: -2

Testing: trigger will likely be in my system for awhile so no plans

R/R/CS: I am still feeling down about missing our IUI on Sunday but my DH is doing everything he can to make me feel better. I came home from work yesterday and he had made dinner, emptied the dishwasher, did the dishes, AND fixed our door to the laundry room which has been broken for like 3 months. I'm like ok dude I appreciate it and all but I know you are only doing this because I am upset. It's nice though.. I will probably milk it for awhile

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? My DH is an aerospace engineer so he LOVES this stuff. I had never really thought about it but when he talks about it it makes sense that there would be. Who knows.

@sldp123 are our husbands the same person? I totally know how you feel .. my H is so optimistic all the time which is great but sometimes it makes me feel alone in this process. Like just for a moment I wish he would break down with me, you know? Anyway, I am sorry for the temp drop. FX for you.

sldp123 · April 2016

@babymish Thank you so much for your kind words, I know you are so right. You truly made me feel better on a rough morning.

@KatieB2014 “throat chop” made me lol so thank you for that. And yes, that’s exactly how I feel about my H.

@felix08 thank you! I’m sure your husband and mine both mean well, but it’s definitely frustrating when I want to be sad and he just wants to make me feel better, which is sometimes impossible.

@thj101 my husband said that exact thing last month, too! And I’m just like, no, we actually won’t, if this isn’t working with meds and a trigger, what is going to work?? NOTHING. So frustrating.

@teamginger13 yep, that’s my H. I should be glad that he is optimistic and can bring me up when I’m down sometimes, but it does make me feel alone. I almost feel like he doesn’t “trust” the science, like when I tell you my temp dropped, just like it has for the last 9 months, how can you be optimistic?? He would fit in perfectly on one of the rainbow and unicorn forums, haha.

@Lecool @SandwichLover thank you for the kind words. I love this board.

KarliQ88 · April 2016

Month/cycle:2/2

CD/DPO: 15/4

Timing: -2,-1,+1. Wish could have day of O but i had to work a crazy schedule. Never even saw each other that day.

Testing: if no AF. Looking ike it is due April 30th or May 1st (afterall april showers will bring may flowers. Ok that was cheesy)

R/R/CS: so i read this thing on fresh pineapple helping with implantation. Like you should eat 1 cup AFTER ovulation for a couple days. Can't hurt to try. Last night my husband had to go to the store and asked if i needed anything. I told him i needed a pineapple. He was like....."ok? Random.What for?" i just said i was craving a pineapple. I didn't want to weird him out by telling him lol. He comes home woth CANNED pineapple. It has to be fresh pineapple. I couldn't be mad he was like "now you dont have to slice it." it was sweet how proud he was. So instead of being mad or upset i did the only thing i could think of...i ate the entire thing so he didn't feel bad. So much for that! Yum canned pineapple!

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? Yes. In this entire galaxy we can't be the only living forms.

kfair001 · April 2016

Back later for more comments!

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 30/12

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

Testing: I’m still sticking to my plan of waiting until AF is late. I had to use some serious willpower this morning though. I came really close to caving.

R/R/CS: The SS is happening but at least I’m recognizing that these are all things that I’ve had in other non-KU cycles. The only thing that is new are the swollen boobies which hurt like a bitch but look really nice! lol

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? Yes I do. I have no reason to believe in them but I just do. I also believe in ghosts and all that other stuff lol.

@babymish – doesn’t it feel awesome!?!?! I haven’t peed on anything yet either and I feel so in control!!

@sldp123 Sorry you’re having a tough day. I hope tomorrow your temp is back to normal so you can forget about today’s confusing temp!

@QueenSunscreen Have fun at the baseball game!

@SandwichLover Wow that’s a shitty situation at work! If I were your boss I’d be so pissed at one of my employees if they went above me regarding something that I’ve already taken care of. That’s messed up. Good luck though. I hope it works out.

@I9i FX that 13dpo is the magical day!

@KatieB2014 FX for when you test on 10dpo!

@Lecool I’m feeling the same way this cycle. FX that we’re both wrong and that we both get BFP on Friday!

@PepperAT FX that your first day back to work goes nice fast!

@canavara I’m feeling the exact same way with the tired/drained feeling. I literally cannot stay awake past 9:00pm the last couple of nights. Hopefully that’s a good sign but I still feel out. FX for you!

@minipig90 Sry about the BFN.

@thj101 Sorry about the pregnancy announcements. I feel like there is a new one every week in my life so I get what you’re feeling.

@MelissaM090 FX that your temp tomorrow sorts out the confusion with your chart!

@teamginger13 OMG I wish my DH was that helpful!! He sounds like a good one. FX for you two.

@KarliQ88 Haha great story about the pineapple! I laughed out loud. That’s cute!

LadyBrettAshley23 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 24/14

Timing: -3, 0, +1

Testing: BFN at 11 DPO, not testing again unless I miraculously don't get AF

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? I'm with @l9i in that the universe is so huge, it's naive to think there isn't other life somewhere.

QueenSunscreen · April 2016

@babymish your willpower is something I aspire to. At least I didn't start uselessly peeing on things yesterday like usual (7dpo)...

@sldp123 *huge hugs* I'm sorry you're feeling alone in this.

@canavara Unsolved Mysteries was my nightmare fuel as a child. I had all sorts of recurring terrible nightmares of being kidnapped by random faceless strangers. And I was absolutely worried about the bug-eyed aliens coming to get me...

leekat14 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 26/12 I think

Timing: not bad

Testing: maybe Thursday

R/R/CS: trying to not analyze every twinge. But my boobs are so sore and today my nipples could cut glass. Never in my cycle do I experience this.
On another note I got my hair done yesterday and feel fabulous!!!

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets?
Anything is possible

HLD3194 · April 2016

Month/cycle: 15/8 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 23/5

Timing: Ehh, not very good

Testing: Waiting until Sat for drinking purposes, although I don't really expect anything this month

R/R/CS: I AM SO EXCITED! ::TW LOSS MENTIONED:: I have a friend's wedding in Mexico and originally booked it in Nov 2015. Well I found out I was expecting Jan 2016 so per my Doc I canceled it due to Zika. Well I ended up losing the baby and was bummed that now all my friends would be having a jolly good time and we couldn't go. I looked into rebooking but the prices were OUTRAGEOUS! Well, yesterday on a whim I looked into it again and found the exact same trip date range and better flights for $550 less than what I paid the 1st time! I was back and forth with the idea because I still want to try for another baby but this whole Zika thing is crazy still, but I decided that I want to enjoy myself. I did everything right last time and still ended up losing the baby so I don't want to put life on hold for things I can't control. I feel like I really need this trip to reset and relax and just have plain old fun in the sun. 30 days to get bikini body lol I feel like a break is what we need to get ready for a new chapter in our lives.

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? 110% yes. Although I hope I never encounter anything, the thought of it gives me the willies!

khbear · April 2016

*question in Timing*

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: Poor - But is O day like a GOOD day if you get it? That's all I've got this time because I O'd later than usual and blah. I've always assumed O day was kind of thumbs down, not much hope?

Testing: If AF doesn't come!

R/R/CS: I don't want to wish time away, but part of me wants this TWW to be over so I can start working on my next cycle.

GTKY: I think I'm neutral on this one. I believe in a higher power and angels and some dude coming back from the dead... So I feel like I can't completely throw away the idea that there could be life on other planets. If I believe God created the universe, or some kind of relationship between them at least, it seems a little closed minded to me for me to think He would only create living organisms on this planet. I can go down a rabbit hole with stuff like this forever.

@babymish - High five girlie, I'm hoping to not POAS until missed AF this cycle.

@sldp123 - "This isn't the pain Olympics" goes both ways honey, you can allow yourself to feel bad when you feel bad because it's not a contest, you just feel shitty. ❤️ You aren't behind. You're doing great!

@QueenSunscreen - baseball baseball baseball!! I'm dying to go to the minor league team nearby. DH has fun at games but isn't into baseball in general and none of my friends like baseball. Have fun drinking beer!!

@SandwichLover - I work in a hospital so I don't totally get the way offices work, but how can you just tell someone "oh yeah I want to be her boss now" that's pretty messed up. Is there some hidden agenda in there? Weirdness! Sorry your day sucked!

@KatieB2014 - I've been cutting back on caffeine like mad, you arent alone! It's supposedly a healthier life decision ANYWAY, although tea and coffee is really good for you so I'm not sold... Hm.

@Lecool - I'm sorry you're feeling out. FX it isn't so!

@PepperAT - Awesome timing!! Last cycle, FF changed my CH like 5 days later. I actually manually put them in eventually I think. I'm not sure I always trust FF.

@canavara - Does that happen to you every cycle, with the sleep issues? I've been really tired the last couple of days and thinking back I think I get this way at the beginning of LP.

@minipig90 - Sorry for the BFN! Good luck with the grad school problems!

@thj101 - Those boxes take like 2 minutes to unwrap though, and standing there trying to rip it open while you're doing the pee dance is a unique form of torture!

@MelissaM090 - I've had issues with FF the last few cycles. I'm not sure if I need to switch algorithms. I almost want to download a different app and plug in last cycles data to see if it agrees.

@teamginger13 - I'm still sorry you missed the IUI - glad your DH is recognizing a need to maybe make amends and pamper you though!

@KarliQ88 - Hahaha Awww poor sweet DH. He tried so hard. I always say, I need this because it's good for people who want babies! It makes DH laugh and he kind of shrugs all of my strange behaviors off as "crazy baby making" stuff. I bought frozen pineapple for smoothies "because it's good for people who want babies" and then learned it had to be fresh. But pineapple is like the best smoothie ingredient I've ever used, I'm just going to keep doing it. :9

@kfair001 - Yay for willpower! I'm so impressed! I would be SSing those boobies like a crazy person.

@LadyBrettAshley23 - That cramps gif is the best. The best.

wineo929 · April 2016

Awesome job not testing, @Babymish. I completely understand. I tested at 9dpo this month, and I am just so done seeing blank tests. I just can't anymore.

@sldp123, so many hugs for you. I had 2 high temps the last 2 days and was SO excited, and it plummeted today. I get the whole "don't let one temp ruin your day," but it's f-ing hard not to. Today would be a good day to snuggle on the couch, cry, and watch Netflix together.

Sorry for the bfn, @l9i, @ladybrettashley23, and @minipig90

@thj101, FB is the worst. I have FIVE FB friends who announced when we started trying (in November) and they're all due around now. It's torture.

@kfair001, your willpower is incredible!!

Month/Cycle: 6

CD/DPO: 27/11

Timing: Doesn't matter, but it was stellar

Testing: BFN at 9dpo. No more unless AF doesn't show

R/R/CS: I had a beautiful temp dip below coverline 8dpo and then an even more beautiful spike for 2 days. And then yesterday my AF cramps started in full force and my temp dropped this am. I am so so over this. I hate that one temperature can destroy my day. I hate my constant reminder from my AF cramps. And I hate that I'll be moving on to cycle 7. Pity party over here. Anyone can join, really.

https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/39762c

GTKY: I think the universe is far too big for us to be alone.

KarliQ88 · April 2016

@khbear yea...he is all for having a baby but it annoys him when people are baby crazy so i avoid telling him things like why i need pineapple now!

sldp123 · April 2016

@khbear thank you

As for your timing, O day is still considered fertile. I think it's maybe not *quite* as good as the days before, because ideally you want the sperm there waiting, but it's definitely still in the window.

@wineo929 So sorry for the temp drop. Yes, I would love to be on the couch, crying, and watching Netflix right now instead of being at work. I actually had to stop in the stairwell this morning before walking in because I had a sudden-onset crying jag, haha. I hate how crazy this makes us! I've regrouped a little now, still feeling down, but all of the support here has helped. Hope you're feeling better soon.

wineo929 · April 2016

Thanks, @sldp123. I tend to shy away from TB when I'm feeling like this because I can't handle seeing BFPs (that's awful, but reality). I'm glad I was more active this TWW because it's hitting harder than normal, and it's nice to not feel so isolated. Glad your day is looking a little brighter

picklesplease · April 2016

I'm out this cycle. Major temp drop this morning and yet another BFN.

I'm currently still with DH at the RE's office. I have a few more tests to do this morning, like a glucose and some more blood work. I've officially been diagnosed with PCOS. They did an ultrasound and said that my uterus and ovaries look great and because of the smaller size of my ovaries, I should respond well to medication. I have to schedule an appointment for the HSG in a few week to rule out any other possibilities. I know PCOS isn't horrible and it won't prevent me from having a baby, but my God it stings just the same.

I think I need to take a couple of days away to sort things through and get through this emotionally. I appreciate every single one of you and will be keeping an eye out for BFPs (and posting this week's book club post later today), but I'm about to have a full breakdown right now. I'm sending lots of positive vibes your way, ladies. Big hugs to those of you who are having rough TTC days (especially you, @sldp123!).

wineo929 · April 2016

Ugh, I'm sorry @DoctorDonna. Be kind to yourself!

khbear · April 2016

@KarliQ88 - Aww I understand that. I work with pregnant people (labor and delivery) so I feel like I can't escape the baby crazy thing, and in the very beginning it drove my poor DH nuts but he eventually thought it was a funny quirk I guess. Since pregnancy/labor/babes is my life kind of, I talk about this kind of stuff nonstop. I guess he just puts everything I say related to TTC in the same category as everything I say that's related to work.

@sldp123 - Hm. That's kind of what I thought. My chart was everywhere this cycle, so I thought I had already O'd and we were having just for fun sex... Turns out it was the only one in my FW and was O day. I got the O pain later that day and thought, uh oh!! Ah well. I felt worse about it day of - I think I mentioned this back in WTO, so no one over here would've seen it - later that day a friend of ours said we made a liar out of him because it's 6 months past the wedding and I'm not KU yet. And then he pointed to my abdomen and said something isn't working in there. Still kind of reeling from that one! And doesn't help my confidence about TTC, for sure. /whining over. I hate to be fixating on that event, it's been a few days. I'm sure it'll come back to haunt me when I get AF.

@doctordonna I'm so sorry... take all the time you need.. all the hugs!

sldp123 · April 2016

@DoctorDonna big hugs right back at you. So sorry about CD1 and your official diagnosis. Be kind to yourself.

@babymish - Awesome that you were able to hold back from testing early this time Also FX for 11dpo!

@sldp123 *hugs* Sorry things are so rough right now, hoping your week gets better.

@SandwichLover Ughhhh, your coworker sounds like a TW. If he’s not involved in your work why does he want to manage you?

@l9i - Sorry for BFN! But yeah, it’s early! And FX for later!

@KatieB2014 - You’re so not alone in that. Props for being able to cut down on the caffeine. I’m also sluggish and low-energy and the caffeine is the only thing keeping me going

@Lecool - Feeling the same way as you. Hope it is your month though! You had really good timing!

@MelissaM090 - I hope you get your CHs back! Were your other 3 post-O temps close to the coverline?

@DoctorDonna - *hugs* I'm soooo sorry you're going through that. It's good that they were able to diagnose it though so that they can treat it, definitely better than "I dunno", but I know that's awful news to have to get either way.

@khbear - I think I've had it kind of other cycles, but never quite as bad as this. I don't generally mark symptoms on my FF chart before 7/8dpo because I'm afraid it'll turn me crazy BSC, but present me hates past me for not doing that, so now for the sake of future me, maybe it's time to start logging it lol.

@ladybrettashley23 I'm so sorry! that wine gif though.....

BecauseLove · April 2016

Month/cycle: 19/11ish

CD/DPO: 18 and not sure dpo but best guess is 1 no opk with me on my travels

Timing:+3,+2,+1, etc

Testing: not yet

R/R/CS: stange cycle. Had a cancelled iui because of travel and no mature follies with early ultrasound. Had spoting cd 17 in the am..no clue what that means...assuming it means ovulation bleed (never had that happen before). Loving vaca!!

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? Hmm huge universe..likely something else out there.

@DoctorDonna Hey lady I'm so sorry to hear about your dx. I just went through it so I completely understand how you feel. I ugly cried to my mom in a RiteAid parking lot the day I got dx. Snot running down my face, mascara crusted my eye lashes together. Be KIND to yourself today. Try not to beat yourself up. Eat like shit today, and drink like a sailor. Take all the time you need! If you EVER feel like venting, and just need someone to listen (read, in our case) seriously feel free to PM me. Sending you tons of awkward internet hugs.

ChaoticWolf · April 2016

Month/cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 30/12

Timing: Probably not good enough

Testing: BFNs

R/R/CS: Well, DH threw me for a loop last night. If we don't get KU this cycle he wants to TTA for work related reasons for the next 3 months (to avoid certain birth months because they're blocked out months for PTO). I get it, but I'm just feeling so down about it, especially since I feel like we're out this cycle and AF is probably coming tomorrow or the day after.

GTKY: Do you believe in extraterrestrials or life on other planets? Yes definitely. I think there's all kinds of life on other planets somewhere out there, not necessarily just intelligent life. We've got way too many goldilocks planets out there that I think it's crazy that so many people don't believe!
