kissthesky32 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/2

CD/DPO: 26/7

Timing: pretty good

Testing: I tested over the weekend at 5DPO. I knew it would be negative, but I was going to a BBQ and wanted to be 100% sure before I had some drinks - especially since FF moved my crosshairs a bunch this month. It still messed with my head to get the BFN though. I'm feeling out, even though I know that, logically, I'm not yet.

R/R: Just mad at myself for testing, even though I know it was the responsible thing to do.

GTKY: I would be a bartender. I loved that job so much and really enjoyed talking with everyone. I talk a lot at my current job, but it's all work-related and often makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

Marley629 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 19/6

Timing: -1

Testing: not until 7/20 when AF is due

R/R: I'm very anxious this cycle. I think it's because if it doesn't end with a BFP we most likely will have to be benched next cycle due to hysterscopy scheduled. I'm not ready to be benched but I guess if it can help I just need to accept it and move on.

CS:

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money?

I would probably be a teacher - I always wanted to be a teacher but around the time I was certified, teaching positions were unstable so I never could make the switch from my current career. Maybe if I win the lotto one day

sevenn · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 26/4

Timing: -2, -1

Testing: hoping to hold out until AF is due

R/R: not much today. Just going with the motions.

CS: had to exclude a high temp yesterday due to an afternoon temp time as I worked nights. Was worried its absence would remove crosshairs but so far so good.

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money? I would be a curator for my local county- I just love local history and artifacts!

leekat14 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 26/8

Timing: great

Testing: trying to resist

R/R: another super busy week at work and then things calm down a little. I could really use a day off. Or two..

CS:

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money?

Working with animals in some way...

GrabberBlue2010 · July 2016

Happy Monday Ladies!!! Well... define "happy" for Monday, really.

Month/Cycle: 29 / 23

CD/DPO: 46 / 6

Timing: Not too great. We wore ourselves out and stressed out way too much during the time I "normally" O. haha good one body *Ba Dum Tis*..... -3 timing though...

Testing: Not even going to think about it for at least another week. I used up pretty much all but 2 of my Wondfos last week thinking I might have O'd but somehow FF couldn't detect it.
But who am I kidding. I'll probably start again in 2-3 days.

R/R: I cannot say getting my CH (Finally) over the weekend was a rant.. or a rave really. Once I got it I kind of laughed hysterically and twitched a little. My true rant is that it is Monday. Blah.

My rave is..... GUYS I AM FINALLY OVER HERE!!! I did not think it would happen this cycle. I was pretty prepared for an anovulatory cycle. My temps are finally stabilizing so I am pretty happy about that.
I also got a phone call Friday evening from a company I applied for last week. I have a phone interview with them on Thursday. It would be great if that comes through!

CS: Nada

GTKY: I would have to say something along the lines of working with animals...
Or something fun and artsy, like having a shop on Etsy or something. Bring out my artistic side.

ETA: words

BarefootandPurple · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 27/11

Timing: -3, 0, +1

Testing: Trying.... To.... Resist....

R/R: Monday, need I say more?

CS:

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money?

Probably a musician. My husband and I are musicians on the side and write music together, but it's 100% hobby. It'd be fun to put our lives into it.

kissthesky32 · July 2016

@GrabberBlue2010 welcome over! The long cycles are such a mind fuck. My one before this one was 53 days. Thank goodness for wondfos. My bank account would not be happy without their wonderful cheapness.

EBrigner84 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/1 (kinda unknown, really, since I haven't seen AF since ceasing to take the BCP)

CD/DPO: 51/7 (I am pretty sure I ovulated based on checking my CM. I'm still waiting on my wondfo OPK to get here!)

Timing: 0, so I think pretty decent

Testing: trying to make myself wait until a week from today.

R/R: Rant about the heat! We planned a big day outside yesterday because the forecast said partly cloudy and high of 84, but it got to 99 and I swear I thought I would die! lol

CS: Nothing!

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money?

If I could do anything, I would craft all day and sell on etsy and at craft shows and festivals! Of course, I'd need to refine my skills in order to sell my wares, but that's what I'd do!

RunBooRun · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 23/6

Timing: all of it

Testing: Maybe or I might wait out AF (which could be sooner...)

R/R: Sick of the humidity!

CS: I have no idea what's going on. My temp dropped today. On 6 DPO? WTF? I'm cramping and have a headache. I'm wearing a pad cause I'm expecting AF to show up any second. Isn't a 6 day LP a little too short? It's my first cycle temping, so I'm just confused. Help!

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money? Joining @GrabberBlue2010 and @EBrigner84 and I would do something crafty. Most likely sewing. Although I could see myself at an animal shelter too.

Megzb510 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 12/8

CD/DPO: 18/1

Timing: -2,O, gonna try for another today

Testing: won't let myself think about that yet.

R/R: jumping over here right away cuz the dr said Friday i would O on Saturday or Sunday and I got my positive OPK yesterday and a temp rise today. So calling it and moving over here. It's nice to be here before CD36!

CS:

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money? I would probably tutor kids or work wth kids somehow.

kissthesky32 · July 2016

That's a weird dip, @RunBooRun. Maybe an implantation dip? The low-ish one before it is kind of throwing me though. It would be weird to get AF at 6DPO.

katiegeminimoon · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 1 TTCAL 6 total

CD/DPO: 27/10

Timing: -4, -3, O

Testing: BFN at CD7&9

R/R:

CS:

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money?
I would own or run a bakery/coffee shop. I went to school to be a pastry chef and I still dream of owning a super cute place that also sells cutesy hand made things (jewelry/decor/ect.)

MrsBinPA · July 2016

@Marley629 I have had 2 hysteroscopies done (both with biopsies) during clomid medicated cycles and didn't have to be benched. They did them at CD7. Hopefully your doc will be of the same mindset as my RE.

laurad75 · July 2016

Ugh, Monday. I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

Month/Cycle: 3

CD/DPO:22/ 12 (according to FF) or 7 (prob more accurate)

Timing: like animals

Testing: I think its too early to test but I did it anyway and it was an expected BFN.

R/R: First RE appt is Wednesday and I'm anxious.

CS:

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money? Dog walker - but only on nice days.

jatwal128 · July 2016

@RunBooRun yes, a 6 day LP would be considered pretty short. But I haven't had longer than an 8 day LP since my MC, so if your body is still regulating from something (bcp maybe?), then it's possible to have a shorter LP for a few cycles. If it goes on too long though, I'd talk to your dr. and see if they have any suggestions to lengthen it.

Month/Cycle: 3/3 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 27/8

Timing: -4, -3, O

Testing: Eh, i don't think i'm going to have to. Temps took a nose dive this morning after a nice giant spike yesterday. Still above the coverline, but i'm fully expecting to see spotting today or tomorrow. Way to mess with my emotions

R/R: In typical Monday fashion, I left my cell at home today, and forgot to brush my teeth and set the alarm when i left. I'm just impressed that both of my shoes match honestly.

I had my hopes up after seeing a huge spike the day after a dip, but then this morning it plummeted back down to where the dip was two days earlier. I swear, sometimes temping feels like an unhealthy relationship. He loves me, he loves me not. Ugh.

CS:

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money? Can i save all the pets in shelters? Would that be considered a job? I want a huge amount of land and just let all the dogs be free and happy. i guess that's more of a "what would you do if you had all the money in the world" answer. I'd have no office job and i'd be a professional foster for shelter pets. There we go, that's better.

Dilynne · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: 29/11

Timing: -5, 0, +1, +3

Testing: Probably not.

R/R: I'm 98% sure I'm out this month, especially with the significant temperature drop I had this morning. I will console myself with Oreos.

CS:

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money? A sloth cuddler. Those are real things!

mrsdaddario · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/6

CD/DPO: 25/ 12dpt - 11dpiui

Timing: -4, -2, IUI on O, +1

Testing: Glutton for Punishment

R/R: I took a test @ 9dpiui and unsurprisingly it was BFN. I had dreams last night that I had three BFP's, so I tested this morning IRL and also unsurprisingly BFN's. I'm super discouraged. I'm wondering, with the 8% chance the RE gave us of conceiving with Letrozole and IUI, if it's even worth doing a third cycle. In a last ditch effort, I DO want to do a third cycle, but if that also doesn't work, then I want to schedule an appointment with the actual doctor and talk about next steps. In the entire time since March that I've been using our fertility clinic, DH and I have only spoken with the actual RE once, during our initial consultation. Since then I've only been dealing with the nurses. Not that I don't trust them, I absolutely do, but I need some verification from the RE before we shell them out anymore money for what seems like broken hearts.

R/R: went for a run this morning! Felt awesome to get back into it.

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money? Either I'd own a clothing thrift store or I'd do something with puppies!

@mrsdaddario so many *hugs* for you today

daisy62103 · July 2016

@mrsdaddario I'm so sorry for the bfn and feeling so discouraged!!! Just know I'm feeling the exact same way on everything you said! *hugs*

jazzymommy90 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 24/11dpo

Timing: Great for us

Testing: BFN (yesterday and this morning)

R/R: So now I see why most ladies like the First Response tests..they are soooo much easier to read! I took an EPT test and I could hardly read the thing the line color almost blends in the the background color. I am sticking to First Response for the rest of TTC. DH is super excited every time I test but he doesn't allow me to get bummed out over a BFN he keeps reminding me that we have the rest of the week to test and it may still be too early....so YAY for DH for not letting me get sad.

CS:

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money?

I would be a public speaker for teenagers...to teach them financial literacy. Because A LOT of youth have absolutely no idea how to be financially responsible.

saralee797-2 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 38/4 When I entered temps yesterday FF changed my CH to where I thought I O'd so that was validating.

Timing: -5, -3, -1, 0, +1

Testing: Not until 12DPO

R/R: Pretty exhausted from a marathon bridal shower weekend but happy with how everything turned out for my future SIL!!

CS: Not today

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money? I would love to own a vineyard or wine bar and work in the tasting room.

@GrabberBlue2010 Glad to see you here and hope you get the phone interview goes well!
@RunBooRun Could be an implantation dip but it is hard to tell since you have the open circle temps.
@jatwal128 Those temps are still pretty high... you aren't out til you're out! FX!!

tamalahoops · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 15/15

CD/DPO: 19/5 dpiui

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

Testing: 10 more days

R/R: I am still having little tiny cramps. Trying to remind myself that I had weird little everything last month but was not pregnant.

CS:

GTKY: something with dogs. Is there a professional dog snuggler? I would do that

Thanks @Saralee797 @jatwal128 @kissthesky32

I'm totally beating myself up for missing on Saturday. I temped, but forgot to put it in. I didn't realize until I was putting my temp in on Sunday and at that point, it was too late.

I thought implantation was usually ~10 DPO? I just thought that this would be way too early, so I'm trying to figure out what's happening. Sorry, I'm just really new to this charting stuff. Obviously it could still be something else too, just nice to know that I might not be out. The BSC is strong today...

jatwal128 · July 2016

@RunBooRun charting is definitely like an art form lol. I'm not sure i'll ever really understand it. As far as implantation, i've read that it TYPICALLY happens between 7-10 dpo, but that doesn't mean it can't happen a day or two earlier or later. What sucks is the only thing to do is wait and see what happens over the day couple days

jatwal128 · July 2016

*hugs* for you too @Daisy621

leekat14 · July 2016

@kissthesky32 I'm trying really hard to not test, but also should either not drink or test. Ugh I don't know which is worse.

@Saralee797 oh I live the idea of a vineyard! While I'm sure it's lots of work in my head that seems like a relaxing job

MrsBinPA · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 19/2 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 20/6

Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2, 0, +1

Testing: Most likely Friday or Saturday, 10 or 11 DPO.

R/R: I have horrible indigestion. Gotta love progesterone.

CS: No questions right now.

GTKY: If I had all the needed finances to do so, and no worry if it wasn't successful, I would open a mixology bar with upscale small plates/bar snacks. If we're just talking quit my job this minute and do something I am somewhat qualified for & would love doing every day, I would apply for a job as a medioclegal death investigator at a Medical Examiner's office (morgue). I did an internship doing this in college and it was amazing. I was really good at it. It pays horribly for something so emotionally & at times physically difficult. Plz don't think I am weird! LOL

aammyy33 · July 2016

@kissthesky32 I also tested at 5 DPO so you are not alone!

@GrabberBlue2010 Getting CH's for CD 40! Wow! Glad it happened for you even if it took it's sweet time!

@RunBooRun First temping charts can be a biotch. Do you feel all your temps/times are accurate? How long is your cycle normally? From your chart I could be persuaded to think you O'd CD 13 or 14. But it's hard to say with the tiny temp drop after, and the 9 days of fertile CM.

Cycle/Month: 7/3

CD/DPO: 23/6

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

Testing: All the days with dollar store cheapies.

R/R: My husband was away all weekend which meant I got to eat whatever I wanted. That included a trip to the bulk food store to buy some snacks. They had popcorn that was dipped in peanut butter, then drizzled with marshmallow fluff and sprinkled with smartie pieces. I ate a whole bag and now it's all I can think about. So good!

CS/Q: Still Nada.

GTKY: I really like my job so I think I'd continue working at a veterinary hospital (albeit WAY less hours). If I was in it for the money I'd have left a long time ago.

kissthesky32 · July 2016

@aammyy33!! I'm so happy to know there's another crazy pee-er here! All of this not testing at 11 and 12 DPO is wild to me.

RunBooRun · July 2016

@aammyy33 - it's hard to say. This is only my 2nd cycle off BCP. Last cycle was 27 days.

ETA: I know my times are accurate. I have a silent alarm on my fitbit, so I temp at the same time every day. The one day with the open circle, I had to get up extra early for a meeting, so I temped an hour early.

Otherwise, I'm a mouth breather when my allergies are crazy. It hasn't been bad lately (I don't wake up with a dry mouth), but that could be in play.

bswishe4 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO:6

Timing: -4 +1

Testing: Not yet - I refuse to buy more tests for a few weeks so I'm not tempted

R/R:

CS:- Can't remember what this means. I keep going back to the info post but I always forget something while there. (This is my first post on a thread like this) I'll learn lol

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money? Probably the job I have now just with choosing when I work. I do Marketing and I love it

artemis618 · July 2016

So...this is my first time posting other than my intro posts and my first time through all this. I suspect I actually belong over in WTO but picked this since I'm still waiting on AF (spotted twice yesterday after AF was due Saturday, but otherwise still waiting...). I suspect that wedding stress then honeymoon travel (not to mention injuring myself while canyoneering prompting DH to call me "TBI Barbie" for three days) did a number on my cycle. I've not yet started temping and need to search on what thermometer to get (EDIT: Just ordered my Mabis BBT!) so I don't even know if I ovulated. But here goes:

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 31/17 (DPO best guess based on FF - 27-30 day cycles since going off of BC in January)

Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0, +3 (again based on FF's guess) Only possible because we were on our honeymoon - timing will be more challenging with real life *sigh*

Testing: I'm stupid and have only tried with expired tests I happened to have around (negative, obviously). I figure if I haven't seen AF by Saturday I'll test properly. But I expect she'll come

R/R: Still trying to get over jet lag (17 hour time difference) from vacation - napping in the afternoons this weekend felt great...till I couldn't sleep at night. DH let me sleep while he shopped, cleaned, and prepared meals for us for the week.

CS: So many questions, but I'll lurk a little longer.

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money?

I currently work corporate in affordable housing, so maybe an affordable housing-related non-profit. I always thought that when I retired I'd like to volunteer at the local police activities league helping kids with homework - so maybe something like that - just not math. I'm terrible at math (not that kind of Asian).

BertieMeetsGertie · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 19/6

Timing: -3, O, +3

Testing: meh. Not yet. FF's recommended test date is July 24, which would be 19 DPO. That's just crazy!

R/R: DH and I did a bunch of yard work this past weekend. While we were laying paving stones, we had to pull out a bunch of tree roots. We pulled on this one together, and of course I knew what was going to happen, it snapped and I trumbled back into my garden cart, fell out of it sideways and landed on my butt. So, needless to say I have a huge bruise on my right cheek! It doesn't feel very good.

CS: @RunBooRun, I had the same thoughts about my chart as well. And I'm also rocking a headache today... This is my first month charting so I guess I just need to keep at it to learn what my body is doing.

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money? I would open a healthy muffin shop in Hawaii or some other fantastic place!

Edited fir for missing word.

EBrigner84 · July 2016

@BertieMeetsGertie sorry you fell, but I love that gif! lol

@Artemis0685 Congrats on marriage! Hopefully the jet lag goes away soon! Where was your honeymoon?

mrsdaddario · July 2016

@bswishe4 Welcome!! CS stands for Chart Stalk. It's used if you have questions on the chart you use to track your temping! If you do so.

@artemis618 Welcome!! Congrats on the wedding/honeymoon. Sounds like you had a good time despite the small incident lol. It sounds like you already took the bull by the horns and know what you're doing on the TTC front! That's awesome! I always stay here too until full flow AF!

artemis618 · July 2016

@EBrigner84 - Many thanks! We went to Australia - Melbourne, Cairns, and Sydney. Coming back to reality is so rough...

@mrsdaddario - Thanks as well! I think temping and learning more on here what to do will help. I'm going to be 39 this October, so haven't too much time to take to figure it all out!

Heading over to WTO...

krisnicole23 · July 2016

Ouch I'm so sorry you fell @BertieMeetsGertie! Take care of yourself and ice it if needed.

Oh and I agree with @EBrigner84 haha love the gif!

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 20 CD/ ?? DPO (issues deciphering this month)

Timing: I think decent

Testing: I caved because I have zero willpower....

Image: https://static.buzznet.com/uploads/2016/04/tumblr_ltcu0f4Hah1qg6og6o1_500.gif

Of course it was a BFN. I know I'm testing way too early and on a stupid internet cheapie with writing all in Chinese so I honestly don't know if they're even expired already since I understand zero Chinese. I googled them to try to see if they're at all valid and couldn't find any photos of them even online. DH says he wants me to use FRER sometime over the next few days.

R/R: I'm so trying not to symptom spot but today I had more light cramps. Just keeping my fingers crossed.

CS: None today.

GTKY (stolen from WTO, since I really liked it): What would your job be if you had to work, but didn't have to worry about money? I would continue writing and self publishing.

kissthesky32 · July 2016

@krisnicole23 you're an author? That's awesome! I have a few friends with published novels and I think it is just the coolest thing.

EBrigner84 · July 2016

@artemis618 I had a feeling that's where you might say! LOL I used to live in Sydney for three or so years. The flight is really long, but the country is really beautiful and so worth it!
