CS/Q:

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why?

bumpybump · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 19/3

Timing: -4, -2, -1

Testing: try to hold out until a late/missing AF

R/R: Going tô be unseasonably warm today (in the 80s)!

CS/Q: None

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why?
Nordstroms. Although not my number one pick normally, going to a department store would allow me to get lots of variety for all three of us. Clothing, shoes, jewelry, housewares, etc.

WillRunForWine21 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: -2, -1

Testing: next Saturday for drinking purposes otherwise I wouldn't waste the test

R/R: got so much done around the house yesterday and binge watched parenthood. Just started season 6. Goodness I love that show

CS/Q: nope. My Temps are staying up but it's such a high coverline. This month temping was a mess with a husband with a fever etc.

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why? @bumpybump Nordstrom is a great idea! My first thought was a big Marshall's/home goods store because of the variety of items but a higher end depth store would probably be a good idea.. so probably bloomingdales

ChefRamsay · October 2016

I'm going to optimistically join you guys over here.

Month/Cycle:

9 total, 1st cycle NTNP after loss

CD/DPO:

22/not sure

Timing:

I wasn't tracking BBT but we had sex every 3 days during the first 3 weeks of my cycle

Testing:
Maybe next week

R/R:

I'm so stoked to finally join a TWW thread! We got our puppy last night, it's been a good NTNP month and I feel like things are going so well!

CS/Q:
Nothing yet

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why?
Amazon because they have everything and I love shopping online! If I had to choose an actual store I would say Target because I always buy way more than I intended to whenever I go. And I almost always love their clothes.

JAM85 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 19/5

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

Testing: holding out for 12dpo

R/R: wish this cold would leaving me alone all the mouth breathing is messing with my temps but going to Asheville in part for a shoot (photographer) and for a mini birthday vacay with the leaves changing! Also to distract me from TWW purgatory

CS/Q: none

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Probably a cross between REI and Whole Foods because I want all the outdoor gear and all the yummy food!!

britters314 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 14/15

CD/DPO: 19/3

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

Testing: Not until after my period is due (13-14 day LP)

R/R: Last night when I went to bed I switched mine and H's pillows and fell asleep on his side of the bed. I had a reason for it, but I don't remember what it was lol. He is definitely going to be upset with me when he gets up, but I slept sooo well

CS/Q: My CH moved to CD 16 this morning. Thanks for all your input yesterday!

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why?
Is it cheating to choose Amazon? If I have to choose an actual store, I would choose either JoAnn Fabrics or Craftsy (which is technically online, but more specific than Amazon) because I sew most of my own clothes and it would be great to just stock up on patterns and fabric and get a new fancy sewing machine.

manillabar · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing: 13dpo
R/R: on my way to see my family! And as I'm typing this I realize that I forgot the card H and I got for my mom... Womp womp
CS/Q: none today
GTKY: I'm with the others, I'd totally choose Amazon if that is an option. Otherwise, probably Macy's because then I could get casual clothes and work clothes for both me and H and household stuff and everyone's Christmas gifts (yup, that's already on my mind lol)

zwink1 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 12/10

CD/DPO: 26/5

Timing: -1, +1

Testing: I changed my mind. I had previously said that I didn't plan on testing other than potential testing by my Dr at my apt on Fri. Even if she doesn't test for some strange reason, I'll test on Sat because my uncle is getting married!

R/R: Our long weekend/relaxation getaway has been fabulous! I'm happy to go home and see my puppies, though.

CS/Q: No.

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why?

Hmmm, I think I'd have to go with Macy's. I agree with @bumpybump regarding the variety of options, but we don't have a good Nordstrom's nearby, so Macy's it is. However, if it doesn't have to be a brick and mortar store, then I think Amazon is the obvious choice.

adirat · October 2016

@bumpybump Hey girl! Welcome to TWW!

@ChefRamsay Puppyyyyyyyyyy yay! Pics?

@britters314 Glad to hear your CH moved.

@manillabar Wow, you are a planner. I haven't even bought Christmas flights yet.

Month/Cycle: 5/5 (Last cycle before we have to TTA 2-3 months)

CD/DPO: CD23/8dpo

Timing: -4, -3, -1

Testing: Tomorrow in case I need to start progesterone

R/R: Although I hate winter, I do love having a cup of tea on a chilly fall morning. In my sweatpants, of course.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Probably Target. I buy most of my clothes at thrift and consignment stores, but I buy all my "stuff" at Target.

glitterfish-2 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/9

CD/DPO:22 / 6 or 9

Timing: Good-High

Testing: 10/21

R/R: Saw a post on fb that was my first super-annoying BFP. I didn't think I cared at all about other people's!

I also didn't get up early this morning to temp or take my thyroid meds, so I had to wait sooooo lonnnnnggggg for my coffee!!

CS/Q: Just the usual don't know if O was CD13 or 16. Oh well, it is what it is! My temp did have a nice jump today though, so I'm staying above the coverline I thought was crazy high.

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why? Amazon so I could have alllll the things.

ETA: New rave - I booked that AirBnB for NOLA!!! I couldn't get it off my mind :-) Hopefully it's not a disaster, proving DH right lol

hartmich · October 2016

5/4

32/10

-4,-1

No testing

My temp dropped so freaking far, and below the cover line this morning. So now I'm waiting for AF. And I've spent wayyyy too many days eating my feelings this past month that I can't even indulge today.

I can't decide between Target like @adirat or Nordstrom like @bumpybump. Those are the 2 stores I shop at the most by far.

haylsbayls-2 · October 2016

@ChefRamsay puppy! What kind?!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 29/15

Timing: -2

Testing: BFN everyday

R/R: I'm so hungover because I was either celebrating the fact that I could drink wine on a nice fall night or drowning my sorrows in wine

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why?
Amazon because everything!

theweevee · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: good if FF is correct

Testing: tomorrow, Thursday

R/R: Trying to cut back on caffeine is soooo hard. I was asleep all day yesterday with two cups of coffee and an afternoon tea.

CS/Q: nope. Just waiting it out.

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why? All the ladies who said Amazon. I'm right with you. If brick and mortar, Takashimaya in Kyoto. It's been several years since I was there, but I still remember the beautiful jewelry and home goods.

bumpybump · October 2016

@ChefRamsay Amazon is a very smart choice! I didn't even think of that when I randomly came up with this question cuz physical stores were all that were in my mind.

@JAM85 are you going to the Biltmore? I ❤️ that place. Have fun! Also, REI is up there on my list too.

@britters314 looks like we're cycle buddies now.

I also sew a lot so JoAnns is a great choice!

@adirat

@hartmich sorry for AF coming soon

Edit: bump ate half my post

shstephenson · October 2016

@adirat ahhhhh good luck testing tomorrow. I have all my fingers and toes crossed that this is your month!

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 16/4

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

Testing: next Saturday for drinking purposes. I didn't want to test early this month but here I am.

R/R: Fall Break at the school I work at is officially over. So back to reality tomorrow. I'm hoping that will help me from going BSC this cycle

CS/Q: nope. I was a mouth breather last night and it totally messed up my temp.

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why?
Target! Hands down.

thatcma · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 19/6

Timing: -4, -1, +1

Testing: 6 days so long as I can hold out next Sunday when my dad goes home because doing it while he is here would be awkward.

R/R: Rant: BDing last night was really good, and I changed it up on DH a bit which ended up being really good because he made a comment about how he was worried that it was going to turn into a chore.

CS/Q: Nah. Temps are still on the rise!
GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why? Oh man, what a good question! Can I just pick the Mall of America? If not then it would be Amazon. If not then Macy's like everyone else

@cheframsay welcome!
@JAM85 hope you feel better soon, and enjoy your mini-vacay!
@Zwink1 glad your getaway was great!

wabash15 · October 2016

lurking from WTO
@hartmich sorry for the temp drop. Try to be good to yourself.

tentoeturbo · October 2016

Sorry to post and ghost, hopefully back later for comments!

Month/Cycle: 7 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 32/11

Timing: -4, -2, -1

Testing: maybe tomorrow if my temp stays up

R/R: had a real mind f£#k yesterday. Temp dropped way down and had all the telltale signs of AF arriving soon. But my temp this morning was the highest it's been, so I've gone completely BSC with the SS. Ugh

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Probably Macy's or Nordstrom's. I like you ladies' idea of having all the departments.

ChefRamsay · October 2016

@adirat @hartmich @shstephenson Whoo-hoo Target friends! I love Target but always spend way too much money every time I go. Between cartwheel and my Target card I feel like I'm saving so much it's justified buying more!

@britters314
I always steal my H body pillow if he doesn't go to bed when I do. Then when he does come to bed later and I'm asleep I won't give it back and he gets all grumpy. That's what he gets for not going to bed at bed time though!

@manillabar
I hope you have fun visiting your family!

@adirat
Chilly foggy mornings are the best time for tea! Although tea is good at any time.

@haylsbayls
He is a Mastiff Boxer mix. So my 7 month old puppy is around 70 lbs already! And sorry about the BFN, hopefully it was at least good wine!

@theweevee
I feel your pain on trying to cut back on caffeine. I miss having my coffee in the morning but it's so worth it to get less migraines than I was before I quit!

@osucma Is it strange to congratulate you for having great sex? Either way congrats! And the MOA, I didn't think of that but what a great idea! I could spend thousands just at the Lego store!

ETA pics of my giant baby. Sorry they're giant I'm on mobile.

JuneRoseRuby · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/8

CD/DPO: 30/13

Timing: good

Testing: BFN yesterday

R/R: Going to have a lazy Sunday which will be nice. Feeling emotional though with the BFN. Same thing happened to me last month. 5 days late but no BFP. Really makes me BSC. I told my H to steer clear today.

CS/Q:Not really. I recently just started using FF since all of you use it. I actually never temped either, so I have just started that. I'm sure once I build a chart up, I'll have more questions.

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why? Right now, Pottery Barn, I could use a whole new living room. Still using a hand me down couch that works really well. Surprisingly it was my parents that they bought before I was born! It is neutral and doesn't ever show a stain. It is also a sleeper couch and can easily fit 6 people comfortably on the couch so it has been hard to let go of, but its time.

hartmich · October 2016

@wabash15 thanks, girl. See you in WTO soon. I'll bring the booze.

Sugargirl1019 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 8 months, 1 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 28/7

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

Testing: I thought I was going to test tomorrow, but I have 4 wondfos and 1 digital. I think I'll test dpo 9, 10, 11, 12 and have the digital if I need it later.

R/R: so tired! I'm in the car driving back from our little weekend trip. Our dog was so well be he'd with his potty habits over night. He held it from 10 pm to 10 am. He never does that at home!

CS/Q: I really messed my past 2 temps up since they were in the hotel. The first night my dog kept running all over the bed (he didn't like the hotel at first!) So I was up every 15 minutes and I temped regardless. Last night was much better, but an hour before my temping time, he threw up and I had to jump out of bed to help clean up. Poor puppy. So I went back to bed and screwed it all up and now I have a sky high temp for today. I should discard those two temps. But I did add a note on each.

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why?
Dillard's!! It is a department store in the south, IMO a million times better than Macy's. It has all the luxury brands and I'm in love with everything in that store. I get my makeup from the MAC counter, my Gianni bini shoes, plus all the cute clothes. I'm so excited just imagining that.

britters314 · October 2016

@bumpybump Yay cycle buddies! And sewing buddies!

thatcma · October 2016

@adirat LOVE thrift store shopping!
@haylsbayls sorry for the BFN

@hartmich sorry for the cover line drop

@cheframsay thanks! Also love your dog! My DH/MIL used to have an English Mastiff and he was the greatest! His name was Apallomalu (Apolo for short)
@juneroseruby sorry for the BFN

bramblerose-2 · October 2016

Just got CH today, hey everyone! @britters314 and @bumpybump let's do this.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 18/3

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

Testing: 13dpo

R/R: I have the rarest of raves - the MIL rave. Mine was in town the last few days, and she's such a fun woman and easy houseguest. I didn't hit the lottery when it comes to my own parents, so I feel especially lucky to have such a great mother-in-law.

CS/Q: None right now

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why?

The high end department store idea is such a good one, but way less practically, I'd love to be able to take my dog into a doggie boutique and pick out whatever she liked.

[Deleted User] · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 17/1

Timing: 0, -3, -5

Testing: maybe Halloween

R/R: not much today. Doing CD 21 progesterone to confirm ovulation this month.

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why?

Ooo tough choice between Amazon and Target. I guess Amazon though.

LadyMoo · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 14/16

CD/DPO: CD 18

Timing: either; -4, -2, O or -3, -1, +1

Testing: Not unless I'm late.

R/R: I was being a total dumb ass today and was just thinking to myself, that if this is/was the cycle we finally got KTFU,12 weeks would be Christmas week! So, of course I got all emotional thinking we could do a Christmas Day announcement...ugh! Just why.

CS/Q: Nope.

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why? 'Harrods' of course!

bumpybump · October 2016

@Sugargirl1019 we have Dillard's up here in Iowa/the Midwest too. I have so many Giani Bini shoes that I love. Good choice.

JuneRoseRuby · October 2016

@ladymoo I hear ya, I'm right there with you! It's hard not going down that crazy path after having tried for longer than average!

adirat · October 2016

@antoto Nice to see you back.

I hope your bloodwork is good news or gives you a way to move forward. I assume you know this, but progesterone is best tested 7dpo rather than CD21.

@JuneRoseRuby One of the nice things about temping is that you can see when you ovulated so you don't worry about being "late." In fact a slightly longer cycle is most often caused by ovulating a few days later and you aren't late at all. Definitely worth the effort to save yourself confusion later.

JuneRoseRuby · October 2016

Thanks @adirat. I regularly get positive OPKs on the same CD each month and AF generally shows up right on the same CD. That's why I've been so confused. Hoping temping clears this up!! Thanks for the support!

manillabar · October 2016

@cheframsey, thanks! it was fun

@adirat I know, but if I don't start early, I end up being that person who is ordering everything on Dec 22, paying up the wazoo for next day shipping and praying the UPS guy makes it (which has been me the past few years)

@ladymoo, you're not a dumbass. I've had those thoughts too!

slaven · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 20/?

Timing: ?

Testing: Only if AF doesn't show by CD 30

R/R: This is actually a good month of NTNP. I thought I would stress about it too much but I think it's good. I have a sinus thing/cold going on. I forgot to take Dayquil today and I won't be home for lunch which is in about 3 hours and the only tea I have at work is RRL which I'm paranoid about taking in the TWW. I'm excited for this weekend because I can finally have a drink. It's been about 3 weeks since my last one because of my lasik and the problems of getting dry eyes.

CS/Q: Nope.

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? 1. Amazon, because you can buy expensive things, every day things, and even food; 2. Nordstrom, because maybe expensive things could become my everyday things haha; 3. Target, because they have food and everyday things and are more local

eta: @BrambleRose I also feel like I was blessed with my inlaws. I get along with my dad just fine but my mom is a shit show and has been my whole life. Actually my parents are about to "celebrate" their 24th anniversary and are getting a divorce which I actually wanted them to do as a kid. Like you know it's bad when your daughter tells you to get a divorce. My MIL and I are very similar, she's a tad more peppy than I am but in a caring motherly way and my FIL and I get along because I'm sometimes grumpy and I hate people haha

JAM85 · October 2016

@slavenski I have a cold/sinus weird thing too but I was too paranoid to take DayQuil or NyQuil or any cold or nose medicine! So I've been dying for 2 days unable to breathe

@bumpybump we may hit up the Biltmore this time or we have another wedding in early November in the mountains and the ILs are coming to watch DD and sight see with DHs aunt so that may be the more likely time. We've been once and I can't wait to get to shoot a wedding there! We almost moved to Asheville

bumpybump · October 2016

@JAM85 if the Biltmore is decorated for Christmas when you're there in November, it's a must see. Gorgeous!

Sprite2012 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 19/4

Timing: -1

Testing: 10/23

R/R: Not much this weekend! Pumpkin patch with DH and DS, raked leaves, got some holiday shopping done, raked more leaves...

CS/Q:

GTKY: If you won a limitless shopping spree to anywhere, what store would you choose? Why? Amazon. Hands down.

[Deleted User] · October 2016

Yep @adirat was going to mention that to my RE - he doesn't put a ton of stock into FAM, so we will see. He has a pretty low standard for what level of progesterone indicates ovulation (he accepts anything over 4) so that might factor into it. Crossing my fingers either way!

slaven · October 2016

@JAM85 I've been taking Dayquil off and on to get me through the days. We're NTNP for a few months (SIL has a summer wedding next year) so I know our chances are probably lower anyway.

LadyMoo · October 2016

Glad I'm not only one then @JuneRoseRuby and @manillabar! I hate having to take an unwanted trip on the crazy train, glad to have some company ha!
Things have been made worse this morning by the fact I dreamt I saw a photo of myself KU, so of course I must be right?! Did I mention I can get us First Class tickets for the crazy train, all aboard!
