Re: TWW Thursday
DS - 5/2010
DD - 6-2013
TTC #3 - Cycle #9
CD/DPO: CD 20 - 8dpt - 7dpiui - 6 or 7 dpo
Timing: Either -5, -4, IUI on -1, O or -4, -3, IUI on O, +1
Testing: Still holding strong for Monday or beta next Thursday
R/R: I had a dream last night that I popped a digi. It said Pregnant 6-12 weeks. It felt so real because I was sitting on the toilet in my bathroom starring at the test. And I thought in the dream, well I'm definitely not 6-12 weeks, could be my trigger. Sigh. In other news I went in for a progesterone check this morning. I'm sure my levels are where they need to be but I'm anxious to see where they are anyway.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you pick?
I think Beyonce. Only because she's the end all be all of amazingness to me. She's gorgeous, she's a lovely person, and she has a killer voice. I would probably just sit at home and sing all day lol.
CD/DPO: 15/5
Timing: ED in FW except -4
Testing: Will have to test the morning of the 17th as I am going out to dinner with a friend and want to know if I'll be able to have any drinks, if I so desire.
R/R: I seem to have caught my bi-annual cold. I just hope it's a short one and already on it's way out the door. I hate the disconnected feeling I get when I have a cold.
Also, my cubicle neighbor is eating chips again. She is crunching them very LOUDLY and it makes me want to punch her.
CS/Q: What kind of tests do you typically use? (that can be bought in a store). I've used FRERs the past few times but don't want to keep using the expensive ones.
GTKY: If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you pick? Angelina Jolie, I just think she is such an interesting person.

@mrsdaddario Maybe that was a sign this will be the cycle for you!
Month/Cycle: 10
CD/DPO: 25/9
Timing: -4, -1, +1
Testing: Not until AF is late
R/R: Today is my Friday!
CS/Q: So I got my BBThermometer last night, and used it this morning for the first time. I know I've read that you need to be sleeping soundly for three hours before, and it should be the first thing you do when you wake up. I am a light sleeper, and sometimes my dog rustles and wakes me up a tiny bit, will that affect it? Also, I would take it at like 5 or 6 when I wake up for work M-Th, but then much later on F-Su when I sleep in, will that affect it's accuracy?
GTKY: If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you pick?
I think Blake Lively, only because I dream of being married to Ryan Reynolds.
CD/DPO: 25/14
Timing: -2, -1, +1
Testing: negative Wondfo this morning
R/R: Of course my temp has to rise again this morning, just to mess with me. I only tested because I figured better to just leave it at that then to keep wondering all day long if... maybe??? So third day of spotting so far (even though first day was really later in the evening, and today is super light), so AF may not show still till tomorrow... :/
CS/Q: nah.
GTKY: If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you pick? <b>Edited because I was in a rush to post earlier and forgot to answer my own GTKY!</b> I might actually have to say Britney Spears. I know, I know, but she has been through so much career-wise, and still just looks like she's having fun and maybe doesn't take her celebrity status too seriously. I would also love to perform her Vegas show for a night! lol
Me: 36 DH: 41
Month/Cycle: 14/11
CD/DPO: 32/13
Timing: -1, O, +1
Testing: this morning
R/R: H's SA is this afternoon (had to reschedule because he got sick last week), so he wanted me to test this morning as his last ditch effort to get out of it. His words, lol. I tested with a Wondfo and had my first experience with a squinter/evap line. So I dipped another Wondfo and same thing. Both the answer brand and a digi were negative, though, so I guess it was nothing. This sucks.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Oh I have no idea. Emma Watson or Amy Poehler?

@mrsdaddario sounds like a premonition to me! Fx for you!!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 22/either 7 or 8 DPO as I'm not sure on O date
Timing: Either -3, -2, -1, +1, +2, +4 or -4, -3, -2, 0, +1, +3
Testing: Holding out until Saturday at the earliest
R/R: I just want to thank everyone who contributes to these boards! I feel like just by lurking so many of my questions have been answered and I have such a better understanding of TTC! Plus you ladies seem to be such a great support system to one another, that's pretty rare to find these days!
CS/Q: Not right now
GTKY: If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you pick? -- Taylor Swift! ❤️ Don't make fun of me, I am 26 and still listen to Taylor on a regular basis! She seems so down to earth and I love how much she gives back!
Also, DH got home at midnight Tuesday night when I was sleeping after being out of town since early Saturday morning. He is leaving to go out of town again today and the way our schedules line up I won't see him until Sunday before work. At least we got a couple hours together yesterday & had a lunch date! I'm not loving our schedules lately.
Hmmm I really don't know! My #1 celeb crush is Joseph Gordon Levitt, but his wife isn't "famous" so I don't think I can pick her

@mrsdaddario keeping FX for you!
@lulu1180 loud eaters are my pet peeve!!
@BusinessWife do you always spot for so many days before?
@pretzel2plus1 hmmm....I'm still keeping my fx for you that maybe the other tests weren't as sensitive.
@PolarBear517 I had that - a couple light, faint spots of pink blood on 10dpo and nothing else - I put it in my chart as spotting since I've never had that before, and made a note of the description in my notes section.
Month/Cycle: 14/14
R/R: less than 2 weeks til vacation! I'm so ready!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you pick? Really can't think of a celebrity I'd want to be.

@BusinessWife, so sorry for the BFN. I really thought your chart looked promising.
@mrsdaddario, awesome dream! Here's hoping it comes true this cycle! Don't digi's only go up to 3+ weeks? Just curious (at least that's what they show on the commercials!).
@LadyMillil, let us know if you try those period undies (yes, undies because I can't say the "p" word without driving myself crazy!)
@pretzel2plus1, FX those cheap wondfos are the real deal!

R/R: nothing today.
CS/Q: temp was exactly the same as yesterday. It's happened to me before, k just always find it odd.
GTKY: If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you pick?
Eva Mendes. Only because then I'd be married to Ryan Gosling. Seriously, the struggle is real!

@pretzel2plus1 That sounds like a total mind F. I'm so sorry!! Were the tests from the same batch?
@Jenshoes
I am a light sleeper, and sometimes my dog rustles and wakes me up a tiny bit, will that affect it?
Yes, but as long as you take it at the same time daily, you should be able to see the shift.
Also, I would take it at like 5 or 6 when I wake up for work M-Th, but then much later on F-Su when I sleep in, will that affect it's accuracy?
Set an alarm for Friday-Sunday then go back to sleep when you're done temping. I know it sucks, but it has to be consistently the same time every day for the shift to be visible.
When I first started temping, the advice around here was "It's the entire forest, not a single tree". As in, you want to have the entire chart show the shift, one single temp isn't going to tell you anything.
@Daisy621 So sorry

DH's schedule keeps changing and it's making me question my testing plans and then part of me doesn't want to test at all lol
R/R:
Ya I'm a mess lol And I should be sleeping. I was awake before DHs alarm at 5 and haven't been able to fall back asleep since (2+hrs ago) so of course I came to Bump lol
CS/Q: can't temp unless I sleep better
GTKY: If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you pick?
I can't think of anything better right now so I'm thinking Justin Timberlake's wife (her name eludes me right now and I don't feel like googling). Not because I have the hots for him but because he seems really fun to be around and very enthusiastic/positive and I feel like we'd write a song together or just sing and dance all day long because I love both of those things
@daisy621 Yeah, unfortunately, 3 days of spotting has been pretty standard for me for some time, that's why they started me on the progesterone. The spotting actually starts before I've taken my last pill though, so IDKWTF. MAAAAYBE it's lighter than it used to be? I was able to see a chart from January in my history though, that was crazy to compare the difference in the lengthened LP. I was getting some 11-12 day LPs in there, and now my norm is closer to 13-14, so that's cool? Sigh.

Timing: -2 or -3, not sure honestly when O was
Testing: I lost the instructions on the pregnancy test so not sure if I did it right. It came out positive. Did I do it correctly?
R/R: Kind of freaking out - Not sure if I'm pregnant or not. Last time, it took until 16DPO to get BFP so I feel like something is not right - I should have taken a picture of the test to show you guys
GTKY: If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you pick? I would be Gigi Hadid or someone else equally beautiful - It would be awesome to be rich and beautiful for the day
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: -1, 0 , +1 (I think)
Testing: Not yet
R/R: I have a sore throat
CS/Q: None
GTKY: Jennifer Lawrence, but I really love @BertieMeetsGertie 's answer. It's making me reconsider!
CD/DPO: 30/14
Timing: Almost ED during fertile window
Testing: Negatives at 11dpo and 13dpo
R/R: Although it looks like I'm not pregnant this month, my family is still growing! I am getting a new kitten tomorrow! My 3 year old cat, Scribbles, is always so lonely while DH and I are at work all day so I know he is going to love having someone to play with all day.
CS/Q: I am a little confused about timing for HPTs. I know they say to wait at least 14dpo before testing, but they also say to wait until AF is late to test (yes, I know I broke both rules this month. I suck.) Which rule do you go by? For me, 14dpo and the date that AF is due are off by a few days. If I test at 14dpo, AF is still not due for 1-3 days.
GTKY: If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you pick? Anyone from The Young and the Restless. I love that show and would love to know what it's like to be on it!

Sorry I don't post everyday guys. I've been a little anxious.
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 32/9
Timing: -2,-1,O
Testing: A great debate for me. On the one hand, I think maybe I should wait until I have reason to believe it's possible. On the other, I'd rather find out over this weekend, so I can have time to be either excited or disappointed. On Saturday (11DPO), H and I have morning volunteer plans. I was thinking that may be a good day because if the news isn't what we wanted, we'd be going out and doing community service and getting our minds off it.
CS/Q: How do you change your default temp time (solid dot) in FF? I have more temps in the 5:15-6:15 range than anything else, but FF is still counting 7:30-8:30 as my temping time. This cycle was weird because I was on vacation for the first two weeks of it.

@BertiemeetsGertiesame about the P word. It's a gross word. Undies all the way!
@PolarBear517 So I get ovualtion spotting. It's literally one drop the day after I ovulate. So I added ovualtion spotting to my specifics and do that. This way when I look back it's right there on my chart view all color coded and pretty. But during days in the TWW, like this morning, where I had one teeny tiny spot on the TP as soon as I woke up; I just marked the whole day as spotting so I can see it easier on my chart and my calendar. I'll make a comment in my notes too, but this way next month I don't have to searching through every day on the calendar reading where I left notes to see if I spotted that day or not.
@lulu1180 loud eaters and loud breathers in an open office setting. Die. Oh and the ones that talk to themselves and read every email aloud and then comment or groan about it. Die twice.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 20/8 or 7 depending on whether I trust FF or my gut
Timing: Good (for us)
Testing: nope
R/R: So yesterday I had no symptoms at all. Then today happened. I woke up this morning to a huge temp drop (just below CL), a tiny, but still depressing spec of blood first thing, and then cramps. I just want to go home and throw myself a pity party (ie bed, jammies, cat who cuddles like a champ, bad reality tv). AF is immenent, its just a matter of time. I'm hoping for at least three more days, other wise this was an insanely short cylce.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you pick? Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Jennifer Lawerence, whichever model Leo (minus man-bun) is dating, whichever girl Jake is dating...
@lulu1180 awesome timing! Hope your cold passes quickly. Also I know you specified "that can be bought in a store" but... I'm loving these cheapie wondfos, well worth the wait for Amazon. I have some FRERs I'm waiting to use to confirm if I have a + wondfo. I also HAAAATE chewing noises and LOVE when other people have this complaint as well...makes me feel a tad less crazy
@businesswife sorry for the negative wondfo
@pretzel2plus1 definitely test again tomorrow or the next day... I've heard of several people turning wondfos before a digi would turn. Who knows?
@NurseK2016 Great timing! I was glad just to hit FW twice lol
@Daisy621 Woo! Vacation is almost here! Fx this is your cycle!
@GrabberBlue2010 I hope your work day gets a lot better
@Dilynne Outhouse baby?? Just kidding lol Many studies have -1 as the most important day rather than O actually, so I'd say your timing was great!
@berg I hope AF holds off for you!

@pretzel2plus1 - Did you look at the results within the recommended testing window? Did the second line have the pink color to it? If so, it doesn't sound like an evap to me. I know it takes longer to turn a digi positive, though I don't know much about sensitivity of the answer brand. I'd wait a couple more days and try a digi again if no AF.

Testing: Couldn't hold out so I peed today. I swear I must enjoy torturing myself, I keep looking at it under different lights, squinting, it's way past the ten minute mark but I keep checking it. Ugh. I need therapy.
R/R: DD1 has walked herself to school and home the last couple of days. It is so nice to not have to worry about getting her there in time (I take DS to preschool 25 minutes from our house so their schedules clash a little if I take her too) and it's so nice to be able to let the little ones nap in the afternoon (the last few years I had to wake them to go pick her up). I think the best part though is the look of pride on her face every afternoon when she gets home. She is loving the independence and trust that she is getting
CS/Q: Nah, just a waiting game now
GTKY: If you could be any celebrity for a day, who would you pick? Ooo I dunno. Probably someone who is married to someone hot or someone who has a job that involves eating or reviewing movies or something
