Tell us how many DPO you are, what you're doing/not doing this month, when/if you'll test, and symptoms that have you wondering if this is THE month!
If you haven't already made a separate intro, please first do so in a separate discussion thread so we can get to know you! Good luck!

Re: TWW: Aug 22-28
What I'm doing: All the things, plus I used Mucinex, EPO, and green tea to help with CM, I've been using menstrual cups because I want to try everything, and I've been eating pineapple, with the core, since it's supposed to help with implantation. I've also been freaking out that this cycle will be ridiculously short like the last one.
Testing: If I make it to Monday, 12DPO, I will probably test then.
Symptoms: I've felt mildly crampy pretty much since O, and today I'm wondering if that PMS feeling I had right before I started so early last month is coming on. But that could also just be my really big symptom, which is a case of the BSCs.
I also am dealing with the news that my AMH level is low, at .356. I know this is something a lot, if not most of us, deal with, and @laurad75 talked me off the ledge last week about it. But it's added to my general grumpy mood coming into this part of the TWW.
The good thing I have going for me is that we had the best timing we've had so far this cycle, -5, -4, -3, -1, and +1. No matter what, that makes me happy that old people can still be prolific with the banging.

This was my first month doing acupuncture and herbs. I got a cold AND had 4 days of work in a row during peak days (12 hour shifts at my job 1.25 hours away from home). So we tried turkey bastering this time. We also had the most BDs in a row ever for us (-4,-3,-2,-1!). Woot!
Ok, no idea how to post a gif using my phone, but insert happy dance gif here! Haha

I have a question on temping. This is my first cycle doing it and I didn't even begin at the beginning of the cycle. I know that after the thermal shift the temps are supposed to stay elevated. I've noticed that my temps have dropped about a tenth of a degree every day. Is this normal? I'm 5 DPO today.
I absolutely love how paranoid I am of everything and think everything is a sign or lack thereof.... : /

Although waiting is hard, I hate the last 2-3 days of the TWW
@avas_dream don't you love the pre AF symptoms? Such turds! Haha! the only time I've tested before AF was due was if I wanted to drink or if AF was actually late, I know how hard it is, but the BFNs are even harder for me.
