Re: TWW Saturday
CD/DPO: 23/3
Timing: -2, 0, 1
Testing: haha nopetopus (too early!)
R/R: This was my first cycle sans medication in eight months. I was shocked to turn an OPK and even more so when my temps cooperated and FF gave me CH. My chart looks like a hot mess but it's the prettiest one I've ever had so I'm happy!
CS/Q: See chart for said hot mess.
GTKY: I loathe the word "moist." It sounds like what it is.

Timing: -4, -2, O
Testing: 12 DPO
R/R: My husband is being a real peach this morning.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud.
C U next Tuesday. It's so harsh sounding. And hideous.
@ahrains So many people I know hate the word 'moist' and 'panties'. They don't bug me but I can see why they're kinda of yuck for a lot.
Edit: spelling
CD/DPO: 27/11
Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, 0
Testing: Wednesday
R/R: I have a doorman and yet the post office refused to leave a LETTER in my mailbox, so I had to physically go to the post office and pick it up. Is there anything worse than the post office? Sigh.
CS/Q: nah
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud.
Pussy. Can I write that on here? I just hate that word. I think it's the absolute worst. Ugh.
CD/DPO: 17/5
Timing: -1, +1
Testing: Not until my period is late
R/R: I was googling info about using Mucinex to improve CM and I ended up reading posts on a different board (don't remember which one) where someone had asked if it really works. Half the posts in response were along the lines of "I don't know - I got pregnant my first month trying!" Are these people posting just to brag about their fertility? That's the least helpful response ever! And no one got mad at them for posting that! Ugh.
CS/Q: I don't think I have anything today.
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud.
Basically any swear word.
Edited because remembered what I wanted to rant about.
Month/Cycle: 1/1 of actively TTC. 3/3 if you count NTNP.
CD/DPO: 14/3
Timing: -3, -1, 0
Testing: Going to try to wait until I'm 12 DPO, but I'm incredibly impatient so we'll see.
R/R: God bless OPKs. My cycles are super irregular. I would have missed ovulation if I hadn't started using them right after my cycle ended.
CS/Q: None.
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud. Moist is pretty bad, but I'll offer a new one: Phlegm.
Can anyoje CS me and tell me why FF is now telling me that I didn't ovulated, 13 DPO?
Thanks!
Married: 04/05/15
TTC since: 02/16/16
@ahrains also don't like "moist". If any word can be used to describe a vagina and also soil then not a fan.
Month/Cycle: 6/5 or 1/1 now that I know when I ovulate
CD/DPO: 31/12
Timing: -3, -1, 0, +1
Testing: BFN on DPO 9 and again today (12) so most likely heading to WTO soon.
R/R: I think I'm obsessing over this too much, but it occasionally leads to a discovery. After SS all week, I printed out a 2 year calendar and put my last 2 years of cycle lengths down along with stressful events in my life over that time period (sounds fun, right?) and discovered that all my cycles ranging from 33 to 45 days were when something stressful happened and that all my serene no stressful event cycles were 28-33 days. So I guess I am very sensitive to stress, which makes sense because when I'm stressed I tend to lose a lot of sleep. None of this was shocking, but it was kind of crazy to actually see it all on paper and confirm it.
CS/Q: No
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud.
The phrase "I miss your face" makes me cringe.
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 16/3
Timing: 0,-2,-4
Testing: Not for a while.. voting for a TTGP pee party!!
R/R: I guess not really a rant or a rave, but DAMN my coverline is the highest it's ever been in the years I've been temping. Craziness.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud.
"whatchamacallit" and "upchuck"
CD/DPO: 17/ 3
Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1
Testing: Ha!
R/R: Cross hairs this morning! I don't know if it's all of the B6/CoQ10 vites I've been taking for the last two cycles or merely a coincidence, but my O day moved up by three days. I have consistently O'd on CD 17 since I started tracking. I started to get some early signs last Saturday/Sunday that FW was approaching, so I'm glad I caught it. I would have missed this cycle's FW entirely if it weren't for my Bump Education on fertility.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: I used to be in the "moist" camp. I actually wrote a poem about it in college, and it was published in our school's literary journal! Ha! That helped me move on somewhat, even though it is still pretty gross. Now the word and phrase that I cannot stand are "faggot" and "Be jealous". The first one is just so hateful, and the second just makes me want to backhand the person who says, types, or tweets it.
ETA - did you track any CM or OPKs or anything like that?
CD/DPO: 20/5
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Testing: Maybe?
R/R: Lots to do today. First night of my sale was busy, so I have to get orders pulled and invoiced. I'm teaching someone else, so she'll come over today to learn the ropes. It'll be nice to have some company (and help!!!). I'd like to go to a nicer dinner tonight, but I've got no idea where to go. Maybe Nobu...it's literally been years and we both love that place (and it's at the hotel where we got married #bonuspoints)
CS/Q: My temps looks like someone shot a rocket off. This cycle has been bizarre.
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud. I hate "panties". My mom always said "underwear", and I just can't get on board with "panties"
@ahrains - LOVE that you got a pretty chart this cycle!
@Mother0fDragons - Sorry your husband is being a "peach". Mine was super crabby seeming last night, so I went to bed and then he got mad because I wasn't in the mood.
@britters314 - sounds like the glow forums hahaha
@spk112 - Welcome!
@Dilynne - I'm not expert, but I'm guessing it's due to the fluctuation in your temps

CD/DPO: 25/11
Timing: -1, O
Testing: bfn at 9 dpo, hoping to hold out til AF now
R/R: just feeling out. On my 24 hr shift today and only 4 hours in already feels like a lifetime. I can't stop eating though and am insatiably thirsty. totes KTFU.
CS/Q: just so Rocky. Up 0.2 down 0.2 rinse and repeat.
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud. Not mine, but a friend absolutely could NOT STAND the word pear.

CD/DPO: 28/10
Timing: good
Testing: BFN
R/R: major temp drop today, nearly .5 degrees. I'm still above cover line. I nearly didn't test but I have all those darn Wondfos. Now I'm in the part of my cycle where the ever hopeful rainbow unicorn wears off and the reality of IF sinks in. Though DH and I had a good talk this morning, if this is not our cycle , which it's not, we will begin researching the cost of adoption vs totally out of pocket IUI.
CS/Q: nope, the hopeful chart now looks sad
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud. I don't have one, but I can't stand a winter cap being called a tobagin, it's a sled people not a hat!!
ill be back later for responses, I'm mobile bumping and is such a pain
Diagnosed : unexplained infertility

@Dilynne I agree with the others, I don't think you've ovulated yet. Sorry for the fake out by FF.
Edit: I really need to learn to proofread. Spelling error.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 5/21
Timing: -5, -3, -1, +1
Testing: 12dpo
R/R: Not really a rant or a rave but I totally fell asleep immediately after i put my thermometer in my mouth this AM. I woke up when it beeped! I have no idea how it stayed in my mouth or if I can trust my temp lol
CS/Q: none
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud.
I'm ok with moist, but like @spk112 , I'm not a big fan of phlegm

Testing: not for a while
R/R: DH and I are getting close to closing on a house but dealing with a few inspection issues. The seller doesn't want to pay for some of the issues but offered to leave all her lawn tools, a bike, and some various furniture in the house. It's not really optimum but I guess there's always craigslist to get some of the money we need. Of course I'd rather just have everything fixed but I'm guessing that won't happen.
CS/Q: none
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud. Asshole. It conjures a pretty vivid image...same with dickhead- haha
CD/DPO: 21
Timing: EOD during FW
Testing: CD 26 which is 13 DPO (apprx)
R/R: Nada today
CS/Q: I know everyone is different but when do you guys normally see your CM dry up before AF?
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud. Like @ahrains and @spk112 I hate the word moist. I'm also with @doxiemoxie212 with pussy.
@motherofdragons I am sorry you are having a rough day with your husband.
@vflux and @wabash15 I am so sorry for the BFNs
@antoto let me know if you get this pee party arranged.
CD/DPO: 22/7 but I think 22/6
Timing: -2, 0 or -3, -1, +1
Testing: I say next weekend buttttt probably dpo12
R/R: having a COMPLETE BSC SS day. Immediately followed by being completely sure I am out. The TWW is the worst. **TW** my DHeart family is in. From out of town for BIL wedding and sooooo many babies and so many people asking if we are next. That question used to make us laugh last year. I know i havent been trying nearly as long as most of ypu ladies, but This year those questions just makes me sad. **end TW**
CS/Q: nope!
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud. "Yolo" and "sorry not sorry" are like nails on a chalkboard.
@wabash15 thoughts are with you through those difficult conversations. My DH has some medical issues and before we were educated on the hereditary parts of his conditions/if conception was possible at all we had a serious talk about adoption and though it may still wind up being our route and we are on agreement about that, those decisions are never easy. Creepy Internet hugs

@motherofdragons hope DH's attitude improves
@doxiemoxie212 that is ridiculously annoying that the post office wouldn't deliver your letter
@bitters314 thats why I appreciate this group! BTW thanks for the FF education, I did not know about the 3 temps below cover line thing
@spk112 welcome!
@dilynne I'm so sorry FF faked you out, but I agree it doesn't look like you O'd
@vflux33 glad you were able to learn something about your cycles
@antoto those are unusual word choices. Its ridiculous that the Wondfo packs with the 20 pregnancy tests are only ~$1 more on amazon... so then you think why not, its almost a crime not to, but it only fuels the crazy
@swanbrooner congrats on crosshairs
@krys I hope your dinner is great
@sevenn good luck getting through your marathon shift
@manillabar well at least this temp isn't so important
@jennyv56 our home sellers wouldn't do any repairs either. It stinks when they wont really work with you

@wabash15 I'm really sorry about the BFN. But I'm glad you and H had a good talk and have a plan to think about other options, if for no other reason than I know just having a plan helps.
@JennyV56 congrats on the house (almost)! That is annoying if the seller won't fix everything, but hopefully it's nothing too too major.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 29/12
Timing: Not totally sure on O date, so either -4 and +1 or -3 only
Testing: I had some inconclusive test results (+ followed by a - the next day) a few days ago which sent me into a bit of a tailspin of crazy SSing/googling so I'm waiting until tomorrow when AF is due.
R/R: It's a beautiful fall day here! I'm doing some work at a coffee shop with big garage doors that are all the way open, loving the fact that I can wear a sweater but the sun is still out.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud. I'm with @MotherofDragons, The only word I really, really hate is the c word (can't even type it). @doxiemoxie212 pussy is pretty bad too.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 24/14
Timing: doesn't really matter at this point
Testing: I'm a glutton for punishment.....tested again this morning with a bfn (even though my temp dropped)
R/R: I was still having a bit of a bad time this morning so I called and had a nice chat with my sister. *Possible TW* She was TTC for 1 1/2 years before she got her BFP in 2010 so I knew she would understand what I'm going through as both our mother and sister never had to try for any of their children. Talking with her did seem to really help and now I know that I can call or text her at any time to talk about TTC stuff. As much as I love the support from all of you amazing ladies, sometimes it's nice to actually talk things out with someone and DH doesn't seem to quite understand like she does
CS/Q: nope, really just waiting for AF at this point
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud. I hate the phrase "my bad" and also I'm with @WillRunForWine21 "sorry not sorry" annoys me

R/R: Went to Outback for dinner last night which we haven't done in forever. Living in Korea we mostly get Asian food and we hears Outback was horribly expensive here (like $60 for a steak). It was literally the same price, but the steaks were actual servings sizes lol.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Tell us a word you can't stand to hear said out loud.
I'm going to go with the C word, can't type it out either. It's just nasty and degrading and I feel like if you feel the need to use it in an argument, your argument probably is not that valid.
