GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump?

BitterBetty12 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: (8/6) 2/2 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 25/5

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

Testing: Probably 10dpo, Labor Day. I've been having 9day LPs though so I'll be surprised if there's even a need

R/R: I'm on an O high. I've never been so optimistic for a cycle before, and that's a bad thing cause I'm setting myself up for MAJOR disappointment if it doesn't work out. I'm also still just super happy about my appointment yesterday. I feel confident that if/when I get KU again this new OB is going to be on my side. And if I don't in the appropriate amount of time, we already discussed a plan to move forward

CS/Q: None

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump?
I mean, I get called bitter so much on here, I figured I should embrace it as part of who I am

But also, RIP Goose. You'll always be my #1

bumpybump · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 29/15

Timing: -2, 0

Testing: Waiting for AF. Should be here soon. If AF doesn't show by Sunday, I may test.

R/R: My Mabis thermometer arrives today! It's like the strangest non-Christmas day. Lol!

CS/Q: None

GTKY: I wanted my screen name to not link me to me. When I was active on The Knot and The Bump in the past, you could do a Google search and find me via my screen name. That freaks me out now so I got rid of that account and went totally generic. I was surprised "bumpybump" was even an option. Totally no originality here.

@BitterBetty12. So glad you had such a positive appointment! Enjoy the good feels and FX you'll be on a BFP high shortly, too! ;)

Timing: -4,-3,-2,-1, O x2,+1

Testing: ummmmmm

R/R: progesterone makes me constipated and since I'm off coffee for healthier eggs im screwed

CS/Q: temps are looking pretty. Must not fall into that mind trap

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump?

well.....eewwweeee

Snobunnie lives to troll on

ClaireCF · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/5

CD/DPO: 39/13

Timing: Good

Testing: Sigh. Last time my LP was 11 or 12 days so I was planning to test this morning, but had a huge temp drop this morning so I didn't bother, just waiting for AF now. It held off just long enough for me to start to hope.

R/R: Told DH about the temp drop and what that meant this morning, I think I forget sometimes how much of a process this is for him too since I am living with it 24/7. I needed some comfort this morning and he was upset too, which then just made me feel worse and selfish and like this is all my fault. Ugh. Today sucks.

On a funnier note, I dropped off dry cleaning this morning and there was a guy standing there picking up his dry cleaning in his dress pants and undershirt, and when he went to his car took one the shirts out of the plastic and put it on in the parking lot. Totally woke up this morning and realized he had no clean shirts. That gave me a good little chuckle.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? It's my name... not very creative.

hope for a baby · August 2016

Sorry to post and ghost, be back tonight for responses!

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump?
I'm hoping so hard for a baby- and I didn't want it linked to me IRL at all and that is what I came up with on the spot. Sorry, not too exciting!

bumpybump · August 2016

...and I'm outta here...

GL ladies, I hope not to see you on WTO!

marybpoppins · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 30/13

Timing: EOD during FW

Testing: BFN on 8DPO & 11DPO

R/R: Last month I would have sworn I was pregnant. This month I feel nothing. But we shall find out in the next couple of days.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? It's what I use for pretty much everything. My dad calls me Poppins, my name is Mary, and my middle name begins with a B.

[Deleted User] · August 2016

@DungeonTrollMel can you try metamucil or those fiber gummies? My doctor said actually inositol is a fiber source, too.... not sure if you're already taking that?

slaven · August 2016

Off to WTO, hope I don't see anyone there!

daisy62103 · August 2016

Sorry @bumpybump and @ClaireCF for the temp drop

Month/Cycle: 14/13

CD/DPO: 19/6

Timing: -4, -2, iui on o

Testing: blood test 9/9, may test at home 9/6 for fun

R/R: We're supposed to go to the beach tonight for a concert - the last one of the summer - and it's rainy and miserable out. Hopefully it clears up so we can still go and enjoy.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? Daisy is my dog's name and the 621 is my wedding date

mamashan12 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 5/19

Timing: High, per FF

Testing: Nope, no plans.

R/R: I watched some woman stop her car in the middle of one of the busiest streets in Boston and literally chase down a pedestrian that pissed her off yesterday. I was about to all the police when she finally went back to her car. Road rage is real.

CS/Q: Random, but does anyone else occasionally have LO sleep with them? I'm wondering how much that effects my temp. DD tends to either sleep on me, or curled up with me, and I had a bit of a temp rise this morning, just wondering if that would change me temp.

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? It was way more identifiable as me when I was on the Dec.2013 board and I realized that I didn't want to be that identifiable. My name is still partially in there, but it's not that obvious.

tripledaggerWed95976 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/3

CD/DPO: 19/6

Timing: -2,0

Testing: not yet!!

R/R: today is my husband and my 3 year anniversary!

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump?
triple dagger was my jewelry line, and when I signed up the bump put all those random letters and numbers after it. I didn't care at the time because I didn't know that I would end up being a regular on here. It sort of still bugs me but oh well!

magnolia131 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 20/11

CD/DPO: 26/8

Timing: -3,-1, 0

Testing: Testing at the earliest Monday and that's only because I have an RE appointment on Tuesday and would like to know beforehand.

R/R: I had slight cramping yesterday and this morning...the last two cycles I haven't had cramping before AF but in the distant past I have (this is my first time having 3 ovulatory cycles in a row in over a year). I really hope this isn't an indicator of AF because if so, it'll be the shortest LP I've had yet, when I've been making great efforts to lengthen said LP. Also if CD1 starts before I have time to make a plan with RE I will be peeved.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? Magnolias are my favorite flower. They also remind me of someone who also loved them, and that person made a significant impact on my life growing up.

@BitterBetty12 That's great about your OB. I say embrace the bitter, and while I understand the concept of false optimism, it doesn't mean you shouldn't be happy about the things that are going right in your cycle.

@bumpybump Sorry to hear you're out.

shstephenson · August 2016

@bumpybump ugh sorry to see you go! @slavenski also sorry to see you go, but I'm glad you finally get to start working on a new cycle after this long, confusing LP!

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 22/11

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

Testing: Another BFN this morning so I think I'm done testing unless AF doesn't show

R/R: I'm just ready for AF to get here so I can stop holding onto my last shred of hope. Which really isn't quite as sad as it sounds. There is always net month!

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump?
Its my maiden name. I joined The Knot when I got engaged ( I was not active AT ALL) and I'm just too lazy to change it since you have to log into The Knot to do it. And since I've gotten active here, I don't want it to be confusing. So I'm boring also.

AngelaPlus3 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 24/10

Timing: Good

Testing: I had to told myself back this morning. Probably tomorrow, for sure Friday.

R/R: I get to go pick up an unexpected, but sizable check today. The whole thing is going towards debt payoff, but that still makes me really excited!!

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump?
My name is Angela (obviously) then plus 1 was when I got married, plus 2 was my son, and plus 3 was my daughter. Guess I'm praying to become Angela plus 4, or I'll just change my explanation to 3 kids when I get a BFP.

mamashan12 · August 2016

@bumpybump, @slavenski, and @ClaireCF sorry for CD1.

@BitterBetty12 FX crossed for you, I'm glad you are confident in your OB.

jatwal128 · August 2016

@tripledaggerwed95976 Happy Anniversary!!

@dungeontrollmel girl, that timing! I'm so impressed!

Month/Cycle: 5/5 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 25/9

Timing: -1, O

Testing: probably tomorrow if i'm not spotting at all today. I looked back at my past charts and every single month I have spotted at least the smallest bit on 9dpo, so we'll see how today goes.

R/R: I've been pretty good at keeping the bsc at bay this cycle. Yesterday was the first day that i felt anything that made me wonder at all. I had some stabby feeling twinges going on in my uterus. And early this morning i woke up at like 2:30 with the worst gas pains i have had in i don't know how long. I'm sure this just mean AF is making her entrance, but at least i can add those things to my list of PMS symptoms that i've experienced.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? I'm pretty boring and just used part of my name. I'm obviously not practicing internet safety.

Nelbetron · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 20/5
Timing: -5, -3, -1
Testing: ok... I know this is crazy, but sat. A.m. (drinking this weekend) then not till Tuesday a.m. (since ill be away and not near my test stash haha)
R/R: I've been eating really bad and being hard on myself about it. I think I'm stressed from work. I'm going to put a stop to it today though! The power of positive thinking!
CS/Q: if I have dotted crosshairs... how accurate is ff? Is it like... still spot on? Or like 50/50? Or 80% chance of being accurate?
GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? Old nickname... my brother said that this would be my name if I was a brand of vacuum cleaner haha

slam1110 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 26/8….or 11

Timing: EOD in FW

Testing: Still sticking to Labor Day, unless my body tells me otherwise.

R/R: Surprisingly the SS is being kept to a minimum. I think it’s partly due to not really knowing when I O’d. So just trying not to dwell too much on it. And I’m really hoping this tropical depression leaves FL by Friday! I have big plans of sunbathing people!!

CS/Q: Nah

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump?

Good question! Slam is our initials strategically placed to spell a word, and 1110 is our anniversary, November 10th.

@bitterbetty12 So glad you are happy with your new OB. It really makes such a difference when someone is on your side!

@bumpybump and @slavenski So sorry girls!! Hugs for you both!

@marybpoppins I’m the same this go-round, have no symptoms, yet last month I had them all! LOL, maybe that means good things for us!

@mamashan12 My LO has been coming in more frequently at night too. I would think if they are sleeping on you, it could make your temp rise a bit, since you are probably warmer. I haven’t noticed a shift too much, but my LO usually snuggles up to DH I just get all the open circles since the time I temp is all wonky from waking up earlier than normal.

@tripledaggerWed95976 Happy Anniversary! And I always wondered if those numbers meant anything, lol!!

BitterBetty12 · August 2016

@BusinessWife

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/oz/5vrzkzpt8mnr.gif

@jatwal128 Ah, I have everything crossed for you! I hope you have a reason to pee on a stick tomorrow.

@Nelbetron i don't really think there is a % accuracy. It just means FF thinks you Od based on temp, but you either didn't have any or didn't input any secondary signs to match up with it (usually OPKs work best for this) and so it won't say for certain that it happened.

@magnolia131 Thanks girl! You're right. It's good that my body did what it was supposed to when it was supposed to this month, and that's something to be excited about even if the cycle doesn't work out.

Sorry to everyone with BFNs, or AF on the way in.

eggplantface · August 2016

@bumpybump @ClaireCF @slavenski Sorry for CD1!

@Nelbetron I think dotted crosshairs means FF doesn't have other signs to cross check it with, or it doesn't line up with other signs as well as the software would like but it's still FF's best guess. The thing to bear in mind is that no matter what FF says, you ovulated when you ovulated

Month/Cycle: 2/2 post-myomectomy

CD/DPO: 28/8

Timing: -3, -1, O

Testing: Saturday, 11DPO so I can drink that night without worry. Then just waiting to see if temp drops

R/R: The symptom spotting is real. Last night I was watching Invincible with H and at the end when Mark Wahlberg tackles the guy and causes the fumble and picks it up and runs to the endzone and his dad is watching and he's so proud I started tearing up. On the other hand, a year ago I was driving along around the same time in the TWW listening to the Newsies soundtrack and started crying during Carrying the Banner and was NOT pregnant so it's probably just progesterone.

CS/Q: Does anyone know if the graphic below is just an average in terms of the day of implantation? I've heard implantation happens anywhere from 6-12 DPO, but this shows 8-9 DPO. Not that I'm sitting here going "OMG I FELT IT IMPLANT." I just want to give H accurate information when I tell him "No, it's not possible I'm pregnant, I'm nauseated because that mayo was definitely left out too long."

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump?
Random words so I'd remain anonymous. I don't know how many of my friends/family members may have found their way here. And I wanted to change it to TurtleFace to match my avatar but decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

tripledaggerWed95976 · August 2016

@eggplantface from what I learned through doing IVF the blastocyst always hatches at the 6 day mark. I've never heard of a 7 day hatching so in that respect I'm not sure that pic you posted is all the way accurate because it says hatching happens on day 6-7. Then the point at which it hatches it's either going to stick or not. It doesn't float around after it has hatched. So, I would be more inclined to say implantation would begin happening at day 7, not day 8-9. I'm not an expert on this though, I'm just speaking from personal experience working with my RE.

tlunceford123116 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 25/ 11

Timing: EOD in FW

Testing: Sept 4 unless AF comes before

R/R: none yet today

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? M is the initial of DS name, 13 is his year of birth. Not too crazy original.

sorry @slavenski, @bumpybump & @ClaireCF on CD1

Ps: love all the reasons for the screen names

mrsdee15 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 13/11

CD/DPO: 26/12

Timing: great

Testing: blah

R/R: People have been crazy rude at work and I hope they simmer down.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? My last initial is the letter D, and I got married in 2015. Not creative, unfortunately.

TravelingCouple · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 9/10

CD/DPO: 26/8

Timing: 0,0-1

Testing: no plans to test

R/R: We are leaving for vacation Fri for 10 days and I don't even know where to begin to pack... Packing for a trip with a toddler means bringing everything but the kitchen sink.

CS/Q: My temp is oddly stable, but low. Just hoping AF doesn't show during our long drive on Friday!

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump?
We love to travel

swimsister · August 2016

@BuisnessWife I have a giant Tupperware of pineapple in my lunch today #noshame

@bumpybump @slavenski Sorry to see you go!

@Daisy621 it has rained literally every time I’ve tried to go to the beach this summer. Fx the weather clears up for you, I feel your pain!

@tripledaggerWed95976 Happy Anniversary!

@AngelaPlus3

@slam1110 I just spent probably 10 minutes trying to make my & Dh’s initials make a word. They don’t lol.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 25/9

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

Testing: Idk man. Maybe tomorrow or Friday.

R/R: The BCS is real. About ¾ of my brain is picking out all the AF symptoms I’m having, but the other ¼ is all “OMFG you totally had an implantation dip! I DON’T CARE IF THAT’S NOT A PROVEN THING!” Right now I don’t know if testing would help or hurt the BSC so we’ll see.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? I’m a swimmer on a Master’s team and I have enough sisters to make strangers say “Whoa, I feel sorry for your dad” on a regular basis.

*edit to add gif

shstephenson · August 2016

@swimsister I'm in the same boat as you with 3/4 convinced of AF and 1/4 convinced there could be a baby brewing (despite the BFN this morning). It's ridiculous. I'm getting on my own nerves and honestly going slowly insane. TTC is not for the weak.

chocolatelemons · August 2016

slavenski @bumpbump sorry. Good luck next cycle ladies.

AngelaPlus3 That’s awesome!

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 36/9

Timing: 0-5, 0

Testing: I was going to test tomorrow, but I may wait until Friday. Then again, I may not test at all.

R/R: Boob soreness started yesterday afternoon which means AF is probably showing up early next week.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? I love chocolate and lemonade.

kiwi2628 · August 2016

Dirty Lurker from Benched/TTA-

@tripledaggerWed95976 its our 3 year anniversary today too! Congrats!

tripledaggerWed95976 · August 2016

@kiwi2628 aww happy anniversary!

GiddyUp82 · August 2016

Posting and ghosting... Coming back later for replies when I'm not on mobile

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,O

Testing: nope

R/R: I slept like crap again was awake from 3:30am til 7am at least. Ended up getting up at 7 to let out dogs, feed chickens, make a cup of non-caff tea. Was able to dose off again til DH came home from work at 10:30.

Rave: I downloaded TCOYF and read 12% last night! But I found it so fascinating that I wasn't able to fall asleep til 12:30.

CS/Q: took a temp at 3:30 and 10:30 both after 3hrs of sleep. Both same or higher than yesterday so phew.

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? I have a horsey and I like to go fast! Also 82 is one of my favorite numbers when I was growing up. And it was my hockey number when I played.

Editted because I have clumsy thumbs

MollyandD · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 28/5

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

Testing: Next week sometime.

R/R: I'm keeping up with working out, but it's happening at the expense of my sleep. I can catch up over the long weekend. My husband's band has another show this weekend, so I will be out late at least one night.

CS/Q: None

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump?
It's my name and my husband's name. I'm not that creative. I just used his initial, because his name spelling isn't super common.

MollyandD · August 2016

@bitterbetty12 I love your name. When my little sister was pregnant with her first, she was 17 and lived at home with my mom. She was very grumpy, and I'd call her a bitter beaver. She got pretty pissed at me, but I'd keep doing it. She was so grouchy to my mom over every tiny thing. Once, she yelled at my mom because her back was sore. So I said, "Is the bitter beaver out to play?" She didn't think it was funny.

themrs · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4 

CD/DPO: 16/3

Timing: -4,-3,-2, O(x2)

Testing: probably starting at 10dpo

R/R: it's cool outside today and that makes me so happy! This summer has been brutal with the heat, very ready for fall.

CS/Q: nothing

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump?

It's just a nickname my husband refers to me as

@bumpybump @slavenski ugh sorry to hear about cd1!

@tripperdaggerwed95976 and @kiwi2628 happy anniversary!

maebee87 · August 2016

@bumpybump, @slavenski, and @ClaireCF sorry for CD1
@TravelingCouple packing for a toddler is crazy! You have to think of everything! Happy travels!

Month: first TTCAL
CD: 9DPO
Timing: good
Testing: got a negative this morning. I know it's early but that glaring white Wondfo pissed me off.
R/R: it's a stormy day so took DS to the indoor salt water bubble pool. It was all fun and games until another kids diaper leaked shit in the pool lol just so happy it wasn't DS
Q-no
GTKY: I chose my screen name because when I joined I thought "maybe I'll get pregnant" and I'm also a huge fan of the show Arrested Development who has a main character named Maebee.

MollyandD · August 2016

I almost made my name "MollyLovesD" but that sounded like I love dick. (Are we allowed to say that? I'll edit if not.) So MollyandD is what I went with.

magnolia131 · August 2016

@ClaireCF Sorry for the temp drop and @slavenski so sorry for CD1.

@Daisy621 I hope the weather holds out for you guys.

@tripledaggerWed95976 Happy anniversary!

littlebug2010 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/3 (1/1 ttcal)

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1

Testing: Waiting until AF, If I can hold out.

R/R: Cleaning and baking, my family is coming to visit! I also want to thank everyone for your support! This journey has not been what I expected it to be, and the support I have received here has been incredible. I also just started a new workout program (starting to do some of the beachbody workouts), so I hope that starts to make me feel a bit better too!

CS/Q: None today

GTKY: What is the significance of your screen name for The Bump? My usual nickname is {myname}bug because of something that happened in high school (yes it stuck around). I changed the first part becuase I didnt want my name to be on here, so I used little, to refer to the fact that Im short (only 5'). The number is the year I graduated from college.
