Re: TWW Saturday!
CD/DPO: 25/8
Timing: -4,O
Testing: If AF is late
R/R: Nothing today... Yet
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: I think my younger self would be happy with how our life had turned out so far - took a little longer to get to where we wanted but we did it
TTC #2 - August 2016
MFI
IUI #1-3 BFN
BFP 4/21/18 MMC 6/11/18
CD/DPO: 26/5, but maybe 6 or 7
Timing: eh, either -2, -1, or O
Testing: not yet
R/R: Not gonna lie, I think the Zika threat (at least at the places I've been to so far in Jamaica) has been hyped up. We had an oops on wedding night and had been protecting every other time in the FW and that's the only reason I'm in the TWW, but I'm honestly not concerned at all. I went BSC and got the lotions, sprays, and arm bands and haven't needed them at all. The places we've been have sprayed for them and no one here is getting bitten or worried.
CS/Q: Although my chart started out with weird up and down, mostly low temps, they seem to be lining up somewhat with last cycle now. Do you agree with FF's CH? CD 20 last month and 21 this cycle is what it says. So hard to tell without that one temp and OPK!
GTKY: What would your younger self think of your current self?
She would be so happy to see that everything turned out okay in the end and that waiting to find Prince Charming paid off.

R/R: So so bummed about BFN this morning. My brother and his wife are moving to California (from NJ) today. Kind of bummed about that too. At least I'll be busy with them all day to keep my mind off the BFN.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What would your younger self think of your current self?
I'm pretty much just an older, more exaggerated version of my younger self. I've always been introverted and pragmatic and I'm so much more those things now haha.
Adopted Furbaby: 2014

GTKY: I think my younger self would honestly be surprised at how my life has turned out. It's nothing like I imagined or planned, but it really is so much better!
**TW**
Testing with RE October 2016
BFP 11/5/2016 ~ EDD 7/19/2016
CD/DPO: 23/6
Timing: -4, -3, -2, 0, +1, +2
Testing: Monday/8DPO, even though it will be early.
R/R: I really went on bad thoughts Google binge after finding out I have a Vitamin D deficiency. It has been linked to infertility, and I've only got one more cycle before TTA. Trying to banish the bad thoughts.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What would your younger self think of your current self?
My middle school era self would think that I'm so very boring since I didn't become an actress/comedian, move far away, or marry a Backstreet Boy. I really would've been shocked even in high school if you told me that I would become a teacher one day. I have a job I love, and DH is my my best buddy. I'm pretty happy with the way things panned out, even if it wasn't with Nick Carter.
CD/DPO: 30/4
Timing: -4, -1, O
Testing: Aug 6th or 7th unless AF comes first.
R/R: Saturday
CS/Q: still nothing. Waiting "patiently".
GTKY: What would your younger self think of your current self? I think that my younger self wouldn't have believed how happy I am with DH. I have everything I hoped for, except a baby.
CD/DPO: 16/2-3
Timing: either -2, -1, +1 or -3, -2, O
Testing: tooooo soon
R/R: I got crosshairs this morning but I don't believe them. I'm nearly positive I O'd on CD 14 and not CD 13. I had crazy huge amounts of EWCM on CD 14 and what felt like very obvious ovulation pain. Either way I go here now so yay!
CS/Q: feel free to take a look and let me know what you think. ETA https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/63e6a3
GTKY: What would your younger self think of your current self? I think my younger self would probably be shocked at some of the mistakes I've made in life, but pretty impressed with how I overcame it all. And probably relieved and happy that I ended up with the life I have now

MC: 3/19/16
BFP#2: 9/3/16 EDD: 5/17/17
mommy to the cutest rescue mutt ever.
my chart
CD/DPO: 25/8
Timing: -2/-1
Testing: If I'm late, or feel any symptoms
R/R: It's Saturday, and my husband got a big raise yesterday. It's also not hot today! Lots of happy raves!
CS/Q: None today, thanks for the answers yesterday though! So appreciated.
GTKY: What would your younger self think of your current self? She would be so proud. I didn't always make the choices and were in some bad situations. She would be relieved to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and a better life finally begins for us.
CD/DPO: 25/4 or 5
Timing: everyday +1
Testing: not until CD 35
R/R: Well, somewhat along the lines of @nytino24 's post, we currently live in the South Florida area and I cannot turn on the news without hearing about the latest Zika outbreak. The affected neighborhood is maybe a 30 minute drive from us and they say that these things cannot fly more than a few hundred yards in their lifetime but still. I'm wearing store bought bug spray for now and did my HW, placed an order on Amazon for every thing I can get my hands on (including clothing repellent and travel size sprays for my purse/car), but am still annoyed that I now have one more thing to keep me up at night. I actually don't worry so much about myself, seeing as I am obsessive and will likely be vigilant about this to a point of being BSC, but I worry more about DH who I know will be awful about this sort of thing. Otherwise, I'm doing well today. It's Saturday and that in itself makes me happy.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What would your younger self think of your current self? Honestly I would probably be surprised to see that I married so young, but impressed by my professional accomplishments. I do think I would be disappointed to see that I still live in my home state, which I grew up desperately wanting to leave, and also saddened to learn of some of the hardships I've encountered over the last ten years. FWIW, we have plans to hopefully relocate in the upcoming year and mostly don't regret the hard times, as they've allowed me to grow.
@juliebeannn so sorry about the BFN.
@swanbrooner I have a Vitamin D deficiency, as well. Definitely supplement it through food & vitamins (food is best) and try to banish the negative thoughts. Oh, and I was sure Nick Carter and I would someday live happily ever after. He was on Dancing with the Stars last year and even then I was like...
...which is completely embarrassing, but what else is new.

CD/DPO: 29/9
Timing: -4, -2
Testing: Only if temp stays high on Tuesday morning (12dpo) and I don't spot on Monday (11dpo)
R/R: On my bike ride this morning a bug flew in my mouth and I spit it out (it was big!) but on the way out it stung the outside of my lip and my lip tingled and I was panicking the rest of the way. I don't have a welt or even a bite mark so I don't know what it was....On the bright side, I'm going to dinner with my girlfriends tonight where we'll talk shit about all the other people we know and I can't wait.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: What would your younger self think of your current self?
Great question! My early 20s self would be happy with my personal and professional life, and psyched about the dogs. My late 20s/early 30s self might be like "What happened to partying? You go to bed how early on Friday and Saturday nights?? And just one man forever??"
But she'd be thrilled with my professional life, because I used to make very little money.
TTC #1 since April 2015

IVF March 2017: ER - 5R/3M/3F, 1 PGS normal
Polyp removed May 2017
FET May 2017 - BFP!
Baby boy born 2/2/18
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: Every single day in FW.
Testing: Not until Friday if AF doesn't show by then.
R/R: DH and I got into an argument earlier and he completely blew up on me in a level that was not warranted. He resorted to name calling and yelling which isn't really like him at all. We've never been to a marriage counselor before but I'm thinking this argument and how I feel may need to be discussed in front of an unbiased person because I am completely broken right now and can't think of how to resolve this.
CS/Q: nothing right now
GTKY: What would your younger self think of your current self? My younger self would be pretty darn proud, I think.
CD/DPO: 25/ 8 or 9
Timing: Pretty good
Testing: If no AF by CD 29
R/R: We're going out for dinner tonight! DH has a cadet shadowing him for the summer and he has to make sure they "experience Korea" so we're getting dinner tonight. I made 4 dozen cupcakes for him to bring to work that I need to make frosting for and frost and I have to shave my dog's bum. But that's not really a rant or rave, just a fact of life when you have a Maltese. I was super excited yesterday that after her bath with some new products I got, her hair was a lot more silky and Maltese like and it's growing out long enough to have that part down the back that long haired Maltese have. We're/I am trying to grow it out to see how it looks and will probably shave her right after lol
CS/Q:
GTKY: What would your younger self think of your current self? I had planned to really go into International Economics and live in Europe somewhere and marry a European guy. I got my B.S. in Economics but I'm not using it at all. I never thought I would be married so soon and I definitely didn't want kids right now. Even last year I was planning to wait till I was 26 or something.
TTC since August 2018
Edited because words are hard.
Month/Cycle: 9
CD/DPO: 26/4
Timing: Not great O-3, O+1
Testing: Nope
R/R: So I'm taking the rest of my LP off temping, I already put it away. I obsess over every temp individually too much. It's nice to have a break.
CS/Q: Nah
GTKY: What would your younger self think of your current self?
She would be super proud of the person I've become. She would also be sad that I didn't end up with Justin Timberlake, to pull a line from @swanbrooner (I was a JT/Nsync girl)
CD/DPO: 32/9
Timing: IUI on O
Testing: Yep, still nothing.
R/R: I'm either PMSing hard, or... yeah. Everything makes me cry, and I feel like I'm about to get AF. Not sure. I had a small amount of yellowy CM with a drop maybe of blood, so worried I might be spotting just before AF. Probably tomorrow.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What would your younger self think of your current self?
Happy regarding personal life, disappointed professionally.
