GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? probably just over-googling ridiculous things. so much wasted time googling.
Thanks for starting this @RedBreast35 i was seconds away from doing it!
Month/Cycle: 3/3 TTCAL
CD/DPO: 22/3
Timing: -4, -3, O
Testing: Not even thinking about that yet
R/R: Already feeling slightly out solely because my temp shift and ewcm didn't match up at all. i know that probably doesn't mean a ton, but I guess we'll see. BUT, I am happy that it looks like i did ovulate, so at least that part of the waiting game is over! On to round 2.
CS/Questions: Do you have to have the FF VIP membership in order to post a link to your chart?
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? I'm a fairly boring person. I honestly don't think i've done anything that i would consider BSC Skydiving is on my bucket list though, and i think that's pretty insane. So once I actually muster up the courage to do that, it'll be my one BSC thing haha
edited: My brain is sleeping and i just realized that i did the GTKY wrong!

I am feeling like a serious newb today... I'm about 90% sure that I have been counting wrong and have been going off the wrong day for O. I haven't done a great job with charting / tracking this month since I'm just getting back into it. So I'm going to backtrack a few days and go off what I think is more accurate.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: Much better with this updated O date
Testing: I started yesterday because of my wrong counting, no surprise it was a BFN yesterday and today. I had planned on testing until AF, but maybe I'll skip tomorrow and hold out.
R/R: Annoyed with myself for my miscalculations, but also relieved that maybe I'm not quite as out as I was starting to think.
CS/Questions: Nope
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW, what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? My husband and I both played on our church softball team together before we knew each other. I basically stalked him after our first game to figure out who he was, and get to know him better. He used to think I was nuts and wanted nothing to do with me. Apparently his mind changed at some point since we are now married
Baby #1: Nixson Thomas - Born 3/11/14 @ 4:32pm, 7lbs 10oz, 21.5"
Baby #2: Emma Haley - Born 7/2/15 @ 7:09am, 7lbs 9 oz, 21"
Baby #3: TTC (hoping for a due date of spring / summer 2017)
Testing: BFN again.. I don't know how it happened but I have one test left. I'm using the pink Assurance dollar tree tests and I used wondfos last time.. obviously these tests are just not sensitive enough because I want something to show up on my inverted pictures of my tests!!
R/R: I got cancelled all day at work yesterday, now I have the doctor and vet today! I was hoping to tell my doctor if I'm pregnant again and give an excuse for my nasty blood sugars the past 3 or 4 days, but I guess not..
CS/Questions: temp still up.. could be triphasic I guess.. and I am BSC - I am having really vivid dreams, I am hungry ALL the time and nothing satisfies me, very bloated, and my blood sugar is completely rude and not responding to my insulin, especially today. The blood sugar and dreams really makes me wonder. . Because last time. But, I don't have sore nipples which only happened on my previous BFP cycle. ... help.
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? Hm.. when DH and I had broken up, I didn't eat for weeks and lost like 15 pounds. My friends were trying to feed me rice krispie treats. I tried keeping in contact with him and tried EVERYTHING to win him back. I felt crazy at the time. But obviously it worked

DD #1: April 2017 DD #2: May 2020 Baby #3: EDD May 2023; MC October 2022
R/R: Pretty sure I'm moving on to cycle 10 within the next day or so. BFN on FRER this morning followed by some spotting. And not like, "IS THIS IMPLANTATION?!" spotting. It was full on bright red blood spotting. Oh well, at least I won't have to keep taking tests and convincing myself that there just isnt enough HCG in my urine to turn them and they will be positive tomorrow. Hopefully the real AF shows soon because if there is anything worse than seeing a BFN, it's seeing a half-assed AF.
I'm just sad today. I really thought this was our cycle. I'm sure a little of this is PMS, but a lot of this is fear. I have two more rounds of Clomid I can do, and I just dont want to do them. It didn't help us get our DS, anyway. He was conceived without meds and after I had given up all hope. My body has proved it can do this and I'm trying to trust it enough to do it again.
CS/Questions: What is your go-to relaxation method/period present when you KNOW you're out this cycle?
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? Hehe. In college, my boyfriend cheated on me then dumped me so every Tuesday night my friend and I would go dump his trash can in his yard. She would drive and I would hang out the window and hold onto the can. She would speed up and I would drag the can to get momentum, then hurl it into his yard. I also "forked" his yard, meaning I stuck nearly 300 plastic forks into his yard so he had to go around and pick them all up the next day.
R/R: All the grads this morning kind of bummed me out and I hate feeling like that. I'm definitely happy for them, but I'm having a hard time mustering the excitement I want to have today. I have no symptoms to spot and that's making me sad too.
CS/Questions: Nothin today...
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? I may or may not have semi-stalked a one night stand once. This was before social media, and all I knew about him was his first name and where he worked. It didn't end well. I also went on a MySpace date with someone who could possibly have been an ax murderer for all I knew about him.
Hi, everyone! I introduced in the intro thread and am pretty sure I belong here (even though FF is taking its time putting my crosshairs on).
Month/Cycle: 5/2
CD/DPO: 21/2
Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0, so pretty good!
Testing: I'll do my best to wait to 10dpo, but I love to pee on all the things, so I'll probably start around 8 and just go crazy dealing with the negatives.
R/R: My temps were super crazy this month because of vacation, so my chart looks all sorts of messed up. I had a temp rise, so I'm pretty sure I Oed when I think, but I hate not having it look right.
CS: none today
GTKY: I'm also pretty boring. I would say probably something drunk in college - something that I probably don't remember. Ah, college.
@clover28 So sorry for the BFN This is probably not the healthiest answer to your question, but honestly I sit my a** on the couch with a glass (or two...) of wine and cookies and watch all of the trashy reality TV shows. Because I may not be KTFU, but at least I don't have problems like those BSC women.
ETA: Hang in there @RedBreast35 and @Sugargirl1019. Some of the BFP are hard to see, especially the quick ones. I still debate about whether or not to post in there if i happen to get KU anytime soon because i've been trying for no where near as long as some of you ladies. *Hugs* to everyone that needs it today. Big giants ones!

R/R: I'm back at work after being on vacation for a while (hence why I've been MIA, not that I'm sure anyone would have noticed since I'm not a reg). I'm already stressed out again. So much for vacay.
CS/Questions: Nothing today.
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? Probably swimming in the ocean in Maine in November. Maine water is cold in the summer, it was ridiculous in November.
R/R: NBR also probable TW (cancer) - We're in a small town with 2 law firms, both sole practitioners. The other lawyer in town just called crying because his wife was just diagnosed with cancer. She's at the hospital and it doesn't look good. It breaks my heart to see him cry and now I'm all weepy at work.
CS/Questions:
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? I don't really do BSC things. I'm a chicken.
@Sugargirl1019 I'm right there with you in the black hole of SS. Total BSC going on over here.
Month/Cycle: 6
CD/DPO: 24/10
Timing: -4, O
Testing: Tomorrow (11dpo)
R/R: Every cycle, SS gets the best of me and I say "if it's not this month, I swear I'm never trusting my body again"....only to reach the next TWW and think I'm KTFU all over again. Sigh.
CS/Questions: none
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? I'm naturally pretty risk-averse, so I don't do many BSC things. My mind goes BSC pretty often but usually under the cover of being super cool, calm and collected.
Together 2007 | Married 2011 | Me: 36 | DH: 38 Adopted Furbaby: 2014 TTC#1 : 1/2016 | IUI #2 - BFP 12/24/16 -- born 9/8/17 TTC#2: 11/2019 | Dx DOR (AMH 0.3), AMA IUI #2 - BFP 7/1/20 -- EDD 3/14/21
Testing: Still trying to stay strong until AF is late but is so dang hard more so when my boobs hurt like and SOB, and the creamy CM the last 2 days.
R/R: I lost my voice to some stupid infection and bronchitis in JULY, now on heavy antibiotic. I know I shouldn't act pregnant until I am, but something about being on all this medication worries me.
CS/Questions: Not sure this fits here, but how much $ monthly do you ladies spent on HPT. I bought about 10 cheapies from the Dollar Store and my DH sure gave me the side eye. Asking don't you only need one? Really no, I need lots to pee on!
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? Shoot this is a good one, I would have to say on multiple occasions I'm the BSC family member who will defend anyone in my family and I don't have a problem doing it to the point I look and sound a little nuts, especially with my sister and cousin who are extremely soft spoken.
Testing: not yet... at first I told myself next wednesday, then pushed it back to Monday... now I'm thinking Friday even though 8 dpo is crazy early. I can't help it!!!
R/R: nothing really... I wish I had some symptoms to spot.... I keep thinking "is this implantation?!" When it's just gas and it's making me sad lol... my left boob is kind of sore too- that counts for something right? Lol
CS/Questions: nope
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? Hmm... this is kind of related to the TWW in a round about way... but other than this I just have a lot of drunken stupidity... I decided I wanted to start trying for a baby and yanked my IUD out. I'm pretty sure my husband was concerned for my well being at that point haha...
@thegreenbee On average, I spend about ten dollars a month on HPTs. I buy them in bulk off of Amazon and will buy a few FRERs at Target every couple months or so.
Timing: -4, -2, IUI on O, +1 (I was uncertain if it was the above timing or -5, -3, IUI on -1, O but I'm going to stick with the first timing because when I had IUI done the nurse kept saying I was O'ing.)
Testing: Resolve crumbling....I'll probably test the morning of my blood work, 7/14 which is next Thursday. That way when I get bad news I'll be prepared for it.
R/R: Last night on my drive home from work I kept having twinges/cramps in my entire pelvic area. I honestly thought it was because my pants were too tight (which they were, I don't want to talk about it lol) so I undid my belt and the button. But I still had the cramps, and they lasted throughout the evening. I still have them today. They are very mild. Much less than AF typ cramps. I know it's not gas because I took care of all the this morning lol. It could totally be the progesterone of course. Trying to hold in my BSC and SS. I keep touching my boobs....don't judge me....but nothing on that front. I know it's early.
CS/Questions:
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? About six months ago, I was in PMS week and I had gotten snippy with DH about his phone. Let me preface this by saying, I 100% trust him and have zero reason to ever want to go through his phone. It's just not something we even think about. But that night for whatever reason, aka PMS, I wanted too. Anyway, I waited until he was sound asleep and I tried pressing his thumb into his phone to get it unlocked. I couldn't get it! I was so pissed! Eventually I woke him up but he didn't realize what I was doing......totally BSC. Haven't done anything like that since, or will I!
Thanks @clover28, so I wasn't going overboard. I was thinking I would get enough to test EOD, but once I saw that first BFN, I didn't want to anymore... I mean I WANT to, I am just trying not too.
@nelbetron... I decided I wanted to start trying for a baby and yanked my IUD out. I'm pretty sure my husband was concerned for my well being at that point haha...
Holy moly, did that hurt!? When I got mine out it hurt something fierce because it had started attaching itself to my uterus.
*snip*... I decided I wanted to start trying for a baby and yanked my IUD out. I'm pretty sure my husband was concerned for my well being at that point haha...
Holy sh!t! Are you serious?! That must have been so painful!
Good morning my friends. Sorry to hear that everyone is feeling discouraged and sad today. We are all in this together.
Month/Cycle: 2/3
CD/DPO: *checking FF even though I was JUST looking at it: 17/ 7 (that's what ff says) or maybe 2 (which would make more sense)
Timing: all the time up until CD 14 - hopefully we timed it right
Testing: maybe at the end of the week but not feeling hopeful
R/R: First consult with RE is a week from today and I'm obsessing about it.
CS/Questions:
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? I was traveling in Italy (I was probably 24 or so) and went to a party with some completely random Italian guy. He was perfectly nice and we just made out a little bit but I always think back to that and wonder WTF I was thinking.
History and blog link in spoiler

Ah! EDIT. Tried to quote just a partial and it took over my whole post (I had typed up my own TWW info). That may be my question for the day..... how do I avoid that?

I think it has something to do with where your curser is when you hit the quote option? I could be wrong. I know when I was learning to gif I kept wondering why it was popping up in the middle of sentences. But it's because I didn't put the curser on a new line.
R/R: FF gave me solid CH today for CD 17, as I thought yesterday. Since I only managed 1 worthy day this cycle, I'm not holding my breath.
CS/Questions: nope!
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? I'm really not the crazy! Like...I can't think of anything that's super strange. I feel like my latest business venture is a little crazy, but that's only because it's a total crapshoot with a fair amount of money involved. lol
@kissthesky32 – We can be chart twins. I traveled back and
forth to Asia in the first 2 weeks of my cycle, so it looks like a hot mess
with my temps.
@thegreenbee – I only bought the Wondfo HPTs, so not much.
If I turn those, then I’ll get a “better” one to confirm. But no sense in
stocking up on a bunch of the expensive ones IMO
@mrsdaddario – girl, do NOT put that negative out into the
universe. Stay positive J
FX for you!
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? I may or may not have semi-stalked a one night stand once. This was before social media, and all I knew about him was his first name and where he worked. It didn't end well. I also went on a MySpace date with someone who could possibly have been an ax murderer for all I knew about him.
@RedBreast35 Girl. I did the same thing when I was 17. There was this dude I had been chatting with online for 6 months that lived in a different state. We decided to meet half way, which was a 5 hour drive for me (incredibly BSC, I was a very dim-witted teen). He was an insane creeper and I never saw him again after that. Just one awkward goodbye email from me to him. Glad it didn't end worse.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: -1, 0, +2
Testing: Not unless AF is more than a day late.
R/R: DD had to get 4 shots yesterday. I'm still recovering today. It's always been hard watching her get shots and pricks ever since she was a baby, and now that she's more aware of them it has gotten even harder. We made cupcakes after and all was right in the world with her. I think I take it harder than she does.
CS/Questions:
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? I think the above is enough BSC to divulge in one day haha.

@thegreenbee - I bought 50 OPKs and 20 hpts on Amazon for $25. If I get a positive on one of those, I will buy a FRER. I like to test early and often, so I can't do the expensive ones all the time.
Month/Cycle: 4/3 CD/DPO: 23/11 or 12? (Lost count, I'm thinking I need FF) Timing: Twice on O (Honeymoon, Oh My!) Testing: Broke down yesterday, BFN. Steeling myself to wait 'til AF is late. R/R: Waiting. OMG, I was never the patient type, and all this waiting for TWW is driving me batty. CS/Questions: Can't really think of any right now. GTKY: I'm not really sure I understand what BSC means. But I know I Google waaaaay too much.
@Sugargirl1019 I've had bizarre, vivid dreams for the past three nights. This is really rare for me. Maybe we are on to something!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 26/9
Timing: Good!
Testing: I told myself I'd wait until the 12th...but the urge to pee is strong with this one. I ordered HPTs online to try to resist, but Walgreens is oh so close.
R/R: Yesterday, I had this pain off and on in my right pelvic area. It was not a cramp pain, but more of a poke/stab. Occasionally, it was sharp and painful enough to make my hand go straight to it. Hmm.
CS/Questions: Did there use to be an extra S or SS as a place to put symptoms before separating this section of TWW? I've just been putting them in R/R, but I thought were was an abbreviation for that in the previous format.
GTKY: I am a worrier and my mind always goes to worst case scenario, unfortunately. If someone is late showing up somewhere and I can't get in touch with them, I've been known to call hospitals and police stations.
R/R: DH is finally back!! It's still a bit surreal but I feel like I can breathe again....this deployment was particuarily trying with having to change careers unexpectedly and my father getting diagnosed but I feel so relieved to have my best friend back. Like woah. So I took a hiatus from TB yesterday for *ahem* obvious reasons. But I'm excited to finally start our TTC journey together. I can tell DH is excited too, cause during one point in all our festivities yesterday (possibly TMI?) he said "Didn't you say spit wasn't good for trying to babies? LIke it messed with the sperm or something?", which happened to be something I mentioned to him before he deployed months ago. HE REMEMBERED. I about died.
CS/Questions: I notice my cycles seem to be getting longer and longer with each passing month since I stopped BC (back in February). I'm grateful that my body bounced back to ovulating so soon after BC ( especially since I was worried about it when I quit) but I wish it would just calm down aready.
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've done? I am so bad at remembering things like this...the only one coming to mind at the moment is when I told a higher-up manager to go f&^% themselves because they were being stupid and causing more havoc than was necessary (for the record, this is not related to my unexpected career change I mentioned earlier, haha!).
@thegreenbee@RedBreast35 it was actually really easy to do... I don't remember it being painful, but mine also wasn't embedded or anything!! My husband really wanted me to go to the doctor after to make sure I didnt cause any damage, but there was no way I was going to go and try to explain my BSC-ness and get scolded unless there was a sign of anything wrong.
R/R: I'm pretty sure I'm starting to see PMS symptoms. I'm lethargic and cranky and bloated. I mentioned this to DH yesterday, but said we wouldn't know for sure for about a week yet. He then got a little excited at the thought of finding out we're pregnant on his birthday (next Monday). That made me a little sad, I hope he's not too disappointed if we're not. Mentally I've already moved on to next month, we need to step up our game and hit the FW more consistently.
CS/Questions:
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? Probably moving to a new state for a guy I'd only be officially dating for 2 months. It's ok though, we're married now.
Testing: I'm not holding my breath to be pregnant the first try ttcal, but I'll probably cave Saturday (DPO8)
R/R: DH's hip injury better hurry up and heal, it kept us from being able to get it in as many times as I would have liked during my FW this cycle.
CS/Questions: nope!
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? I met A LOT of internet strangers in my past. I was usually careful about it, but there were some really sketchy situations I put myself in. I'm glad I was never murdered!

R/R: Nothing today really, just relaxing and tryin to wait out this time until I know it is safe to test. Oh one awesome thing...when i was on the WTO thread I told the ladies of an opportunity I was given to host/put on a scholarship pageant for the local high school kids. I was on the fence about it until me and DH talked about it and he thinks it's a great idea. So I took the position and the planning has commenced wish me luck!
CS/Questions: None today!
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? I have literally laid flat on my back for about an hour poking at my stomach and feeling all over my boobs to see if they felt any different lol.

CS/Questions: None
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW , what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? I think I've already told this story once but I can't think of a better one... When I was in high school I went streaking down the highway in the middle of the night with a bunch of my girlfriends and a highway patrol officer just happened to be driving down the road and pulled over and stopped us lol We went running of into the woods and he didn't chase us (thank God!!) But he stood on the road for awhile yelling a good scolding at us and saying we'd all get tickets next time!
Testing plans: I'll probably do my best to hold off until 11dpo which would be next Saturday the 16th. I'll test for 2 days and if they are BFNs I will wait for CD1.
R/R: I had horrible ovulation pain yesterday. I guess having follies on both sides will do that to you. I'm so happy that it is over! The first part of this TWW will go by quickly, but by this time next week I am going to be over it.
CS/Questions: Nothing right now.
GTKY: I have done a lot of BSC things I could share, but I think probably the most BSC thing I have done was buy house with a boyfriend who was long distance at the time. He never came to see it/help me shop. I picked it out & he signed the paperwork and moved to be with me. That totally should have been a red flag that he really wasn't normal & that it wasn't a good call. That one made me do a lot of BSC things.

my chart
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: Much better with this updated O date
Testing: I started yesterday because of my wrong counting, no surprise it was a BFN yesterday and today. I had planned on testing until AF, but maybe I'll skip tomorrow and hold out.
R/R: Annoyed with myself for my miscalculations, but also relieved that maybe I'm not quite as out as I was starting to think.
CS/Questions: Nope
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW, what's the most BSC thing you've ever done?
My husband and I both played on our church softball team together before we knew each other. I basically stalked him after our first game to figure out who he was, and get to know him better. He used to think I was nuts and wanted nothing to do with me. Apparently his mind changed at some point since we are now married
CD/DPO: 26/9
Timing: -3, -2, -1, O, +1
Testing: BFN again.. I don't know how it happened but I have one test left. I'm using the pink Assurance dollar tree tests and I used wondfos last time.. obviously these tests are just not sensitive enough because I want something to show up on my inverted pictures of my tests!!
R/R: I got cancelled all day at work yesterday, now I have the doctor and vet today! I was hoping to tell my doctor if I'm pregnant again and give an excuse for my nasty blood sugars the past 3 or 4 days, but I guess not..
CS/Questions: temp still up.. could be triphasic I guess.. and I am BSC - I am having really vivid dreams, I am hungry ALL the time and nothing satisfies me, very bloated, and my blood sugar is completely rude and not responding to my insulin, especially today. The blood sugar and dreams really makes me wonder. . Because last time. But, I don't have sore nipples which only happened on my previous BFP cycle. ... help.
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW
Hm.. when DH and I had broken up, I didn't eat for weeks and lost like 15 pounds. My friends were trying to feed me rice krispie treats. I tried keeping in contact with him and tried EVERYTHING to win him back. I felt crazy at the time. But obviously it worked

DD #2: May 2020
Baby #3: EDD May 2023; MC October 2022
CD/DPO: 26/10
Timing: Great
Testing: BFN all day err day
R/R: Pretty sure I'm moving on to cycle 10 within the next day or so. BFN on FRER this morning followed by some spotting. And not like, "IS THIS IMPLANTATION?!" spotting. It was full on bright red blood spotting. Oh well, at least I won't have to keep taking tests and convincing myself that there just isnt enough HCG in my urine to turn them and they will be positive tomorrow. Hopefully the real AF shows soon because if there is anything worse than seeing a BFN, it's seeing a half-assed AF.
I'm just sad today. I really thought this was our cycle. I'm sure a little of this is PMS, but a lot of this is fear. I have two more rounds of Clomid I can do, and I just dont want to do them. It didn't help us get our DS, anyway. He was conceived without meds and after I had given up all hope. My body has proved it can do this and I'm trying to trust it enough to do it again.
CS/Questions: What is your go-to relaxation method/period present when you KNOW you're out this cycle?
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW
Hehe. In college, my boyfriend cheated on me then dumped me so every Tuesday night my friend and I would go dump his trash can in his yard. She would drive and I would hang out the window and hold onto the can. She would speed up and I would drag the can to get momentum, then hurl it into his yard. I also "forked" his yard, meaning I stuck nearly 300 plastic forks into his yard so he had to go around and pick them all up the next day.
CD/DPO: *checks FF* 25/8
Timing: -1, 0
Testing: Holding out til Friday, 10dpo
R/R: All the grads this morning kind of bummed me out and I hate feeling like that. I'm definitely happy for them, but I'm having a hard time mustering the excitement I want to have today.
I have no symptoms to spot and that's making me sad too.
CS/Questions: Nothin today...
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW
I may or may not have semi-stalked a one night stand once. This was before social media, and all I knew about him was his first name and where he worked. It didn't end well.
I also went on a MySpace date with someone who could possibly have been an ax murderer for all I knew about him.

Month/Cycle: 5/2
CD/DPO: 21/2
Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0, so pretty good!
Testing: I'll do my best to wait to 10dpo, but I love to pee on all the things, so I'll probably start around 8 and just go crazy dealing with the negatives.
R/R: My temps were super crazy this month because of vacation, so my chart looks all sorts of messed up. I had a temp rise, so I'm pretty sure I Oed when I think, but I hate not having it look right.
CS: none today
GTKY: I'm also pretty boring. I would say probably something drunk in college - something that I probably don't remember. Ah, college.
ETA: Hang in there @RedBreast35 and @Sugargirl1019. Some of the BFP are hard to see, especially the quick ones. I still debate about whether or not to post in there if i happen to get KU anytime soon because i've been trying for no where near as long as some of you ladies. *Hugs* to everyone that needs it today. Big giants ones!

R/R: NBR also probable TW (cancer) - We're in a small town with 2 law firms, both sole practitioners. The other lawyer in town just called crying because his wife was just diagnosed with cancer. She's at the hospital and it doesn't look good. It breaks my heart to see him cry and now I'm all weepy at work.

I'm naturally pretty risk-averse, so I don't do many BSC things. My mind goes BSC pretty often but usually under the cover of being super cool, calm and collected.

, what's the most BSC thing you've ever done? Shoot this is a good one, I would have to say on multiple occasions I'm the BSC family member who will defend anyone in my family and I don't have a problem doing it to the point I look and sound a little nuts, especially with my sister and cousin who are extremely soft spoken.
CD/DPO: 24/13
Timing: -2, 0
Testing: Still trying to stay strong until AF is late but is so dang hard more so when my boobs hurt like and SOB, and the creamy CM the last 2 days.
R/R: I lost my voice to some stupid infection and bronchitis in JULY, now on heavy antibiotic. I know I shouldn't act pregnant until I am, but something about being on all this medication worries me.
CS/Questions: Not sure this fits here, but how much $ monthly do you ladies spent on HPT. I bought about 10 cheapies from the Dollar Store and my DH sure gave me the side eye. Asking don't you only need one? Really no, I need lots to pee on!

Timing: -4, -2, IUI on O, +1
(I was uncertain if it was the above timing or -5, -3, IUI on -1, O but I'm going to stick with the first timing because when I had IUI done the nurse kept saying I was O'ing.)
Testing: Resolve crumbling....I'll probably test the morning of my blood work, 7/14 which is next Thursday. That way when I get bad news I'll be prepared for it.
R/R: Last night on my drive home from work I kept having twinges/cramps in my entire pelvic area. I honestly thought it was because my pants were too tight (which they were, I don't want to talk about it lol) so I undid my belt and the button. But I still had the cramps, and they lasted throughout the evening. I still have them today. They are very mild. Much less than AF typ cramps. I know it's not gas because I took care of all the this morning lol. It could totally be the progesterone of course. Trying to hold in my BSC and SS. I keep touching my boobs....don't judge me....but nothing on that front. I know it's early.
CS/Questions:
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW
About six months ago, I was in PMS week and I had gotten snippy with DH about his phone. Let me preface this by saying, I 100% trust him and have zero reason to ever want to go through his phone. It's just not something we even think about. But that night for whatever reason, aka PMS, I wanted too. Anyway, I waited until he was sound asleep and I tried pressing his thumb into his phone to get it unlocked. I couldn't get it! I was so pissed! Eventually I woke him up but he didn't realize what I was doing......totally BSC. Haven't done anything like that since, or will I!
Thanks @clover28, so I wasn't going overboard. I was thinking I would get enough to test EOD, but once I saw that first BFN, I didn't want to anymore... I mean I WANT to, I am just trying not too.

@nelbetron ... I decided I wanted to start trying for a baby and yanked my IUD out. I'm pretty sure my husband was concerned for my well being at that point haha...
Holy moly, did that hurt!? When I got mine out it hurt something fierce because it had started attaching itself to my uterus.

@Daisy621 – totally FX for you!
@jatwal128 don’t count yourself out!
@AngelaPlus3 – isn’t it awesome when your timing ends up BETTER than you thought?
@Sugargirl1019 – I totally laughed at your “not sensitive enough” tests! HA!
@clover28 – I LOVE the trash dumping story. That’s hilarious!
@RedBreast35 – Come ooooooooon CD10!
@kissthesky32 – We can be chart twins. I traveled back and forth to Asia in the first 2 weeks of my cycle, so it looks like a hot mess with my temps.
@thegreenbee – I only bought the Wondfo HPTs, so not much. If I turn those, then I’ll get a “better” one to confirm. But no sense in stocking up on a bunch of the expensive ones IMO
@mrsdaddario – girl, do NOT put that negative out into the universe. Stay positive J FX for you!

R/R: DD had to get 4 shots yesterday. I'm still recovering today. It's always been hard watching her get shots and pricks ever since she was a baby, and now that she's more aware of them it has gotten even harder. We made cupcakes after and all was right in the world with her. I think I take it harder than she does.

CD/DPO: 23/11 or 12? (Lost count, I'm thinking I need FF)
Timing: Twice on O (Honeymoon, Oh My!)
Testing: Broke down yesterday, BFN. Steeling myself to wait 'til AF is late.
R/R: Waiting. OMG, I was never the patient type, and all this waiting for TWW is driving me batty.
CS/Questions: Can't really think of any right now.
GTKY: I'm not really sure I understand what BSC means. But I know I Google waaaaay too much.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 26/9
Timing: Good!
Testing: I told myself I'd wait until the 12th...but the urge to pee is strong with this one. I ordered HPTs online to try to resist, but Walgreens is oh so close.
R/R: Yesterday, I had this pain off and on in my right pelvic area. It was not a cramp pain, but more of a poke/stab. Occasionally, it was sharp and painful enough to make my hand go straight to it. Hmm.
CS/Questions: Did there use to be an extra S or SS as a place to put symptoms before separating this section of TWW? I've just been putting them in R/R, but I thought were was an abbreviation for that in the previous format.
GTKY: I am a worrier and my mind always goes to worst case scenario, unfortunately. If someone is late showing up somewhere and I can't get in touch with them, I've been known to call hospitals and police stations.
CD/DPO: 29/13
Timing: None
Testing: Nope
R/R: DH is finally back!! It's still a bit surreal but I feel like I can breathe again....this deployment was particuarily trying with having to change careers unexpectedly and my father getting diagnosed but I feel so relieved to have my best friend back. Like woah. So I took a hiatus from TB yesterday for *ahem* obvious reasons.
CS/Questions: I notice my cycles seem to be getting longer and longer with each passing month since I stopped BC (back in February). I'm grateful that my body bounced back to ovulating so soon after BC ( especially since I was worried about it when I quit) but I wish it would just calm down aready.
GTKY: Besides everything you do during the TWW
I am so bad at remembering things like this...the only one coming to mind at the moment is when I told a higher-up manager to go f&^% themselves because they were being stupid and causing more havoc than was necessary (for the record, this is not related to my unexpected career change I mentioned earlier, haha!).
CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: -3,-1
Testing: Nuh uh
R/R: I'm pretty sure I'm starting to see PMS symptoms. I'm lethargic and cranky and bloated. I mentioned this to DH yesterday, but said we wouldn't know for sure for about a week yet. He then got a little excited at the thought of finding out we're pregnant on his birthday (next Monday). That made me a little sad, I hope he's not too disappointed if we're not. Mentally I've already moved on to next month, we need to step up our game and hit the FW more consistently.

I think I've already told this story once but I can't think of a better one... When I was in high school I went streaking down the highway in the middle of the night with a bunch of my girlfriends and a highway patrol officer just happened to be driving down the road and pulled over and stopped us lol We went running of into the woods and he didn't chase us (thank God!!) But he stood on the road for awhile yelling a good scolding at us and saying we'd all get tickets next time!

GTKY: I have done a lot of BSC things I could share, but I think probably the most BSC thing I have done was buy house with a boyfriend who was long distance at the time. He never came to see it/help me shop. I picked it out & he signed the paperwork and moved to be with me. That totally should have been a red flag that he really wasn't normal & that it wasn't a good call. That one made me do a lot of BSC things.
