Timing:-5,-4,-2,-1
Testing: I think Wednesday
R/R: chart is looking so pretty sometimes I just open FF to look at it. Always fun having a pretty chart. Temps are on the rise and chart is looking triphasic. Not 100% sold on O being cd 14. I forgot my OPKs when we went to Vegas (cd 15) and discarded my temp that day because I temped late (time zone difference) and it was very high. I'm thinking O could've been cd 14, 15, or 16 but I'm fine with any of those days as timing is still good. Waiting a few days to test in case I did O a little later than my CHs say. The struggle of not testing today is real especially with a temp rise!!!
CS/Q: sorry if my chart is huge I'm on mobile
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have?
I turn the radio down in the car when I'm driving and looking for where to go or when traffic slows down. I don't know why! Force of habit! Usually I'm not aware I did it until it's silent.
CD/DPO: 27/10
Timing: -3,-1
Testing: maybe tomorrow.
R/R: I am spending Halloween with 20 8/9 year olds. That's what scares me today!
CS/Q: FF was kind enough to let me know my chart looks triphasic. I KNOW that doesn't always mean anything but it isn't helping my bsc. Chart included because it looks like it's going down today. Mobile. Sorry if huge.
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have?
Im sure H could tell you a bunch but I'm having trouble. Maybe that I always like to have a blanket over me on the couch. Even when it's hot. I just use lighter blankets.
CD/DPO: 30/12
Timing: EOD
Testing: Nope
R/R: Day off with H, kind of. We are off to shoe some horses. We both love it. I help him hold the horses and he shoes them. With my training background it works out fantastic.
CS/Q: Nothing
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have? I have a lot that's for sure but a big one is my morning time routine cannot be messed up or it ruins my entire day !

CS/Q: nothing to see except a depressing slope of descending temps
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have?
when I was younger I had to have any volume (tv, radio, etc) in a even number. Like it would make me go insane if it was left at an odd number. I've grown out of that a bit but still prefer it to be an even number!

@beachbunnyxo123 super pretty chart! There's actually a scientific reason why people turn down the music when looking for an address/trying to concentrate but it's too early for me to nerd out right now lol

R/R: I was a Crabby McAngryBitch all weekend (thanks, hormones
CS/Q: nah, it looks ok
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have?
Besides using my hand as an oven mitt?! LoL Um, I have several but one that comes to mind is that I have to walk on the right side of people. I CAN walk on the left but it makes me uncomfortable and I always try to find my way back to the right lol
CD/DPO: 27/12 or 5...whack temping this month so not exactly sure
Timing: good if 12 days past O, bad if 5
Testing: trying to hold out until the weekend, but I'll probably cave during the week. Don't have any tests on hand.
R/R: having a bad hair day; isn't it amazing how that can dictate one's mood?
CS/Q: na
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have?
@beachbunnyxo123 I do the exact same thing!! I don't even listen to the radio that loud in the car! I also always to have a blanket on me, @mrs35. DH knows that once I'm on the couch with a blanket I'm pretty much done for the evening!
@BertieMeetsGertie the muffins sound amazing!

R/R: We had friends over last night and they didn’t leave until midnight. So much coffee needed at my desk this morning.
CS/Q: None today
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have?
I love to chew ice. I used to have really low iron which can cause you to crave ice, but now I’ve gotten that sorted out and it’s just hard to break the ice habit.
@SaphireSweetie88 Holding strong for Nov. 4!
@beachbunnyxo123 What did you dress up as for work?
@mrs35 Good luck with all those kiddos!
@BertieMeetsGertie Those muffins sound delicious!
@rainbowturtles If you haven’t already, swing by a doctor’s office today because they can prescribe you this silver cream for burns. My DH burned his hand badly this summer and that stuff kept him sane.
I go here now!!
@SaphireSweetie88 I do the same thing with my dogs, and DH thinks I am slightly crazy for it. @BertieMeetsGertie Yes with the even numbers!!!! I had a car at one point that did not have a volume display, so I couldn't tell if it was on an even number or not and I practically lost it. I resorted to actually counting to an even number of clicks if I changed it. @rainbowturtles Sorry to hear about your hand!Month/Cycle: 5/6
CD/DPO: 18/4
Timing: -5,-3,-1
Testing: Undecided. I would like to say not unless AF doesn't show, but that is obviously a lie....
R/R: Eh, nothing to really report today. Typical boring Monday. But I am still holding out for some Halloween candy later...
CS/Q: Nothing to see here!
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have? I actually have quite a few. As you can see from my comments, I am also a pet singer and even-number lover. I also tend to make up sound effects for whatever I am doing, especially while driving (left and right turns actually have their own sound). You can also tell when I am becoming anxious/nervous because I will cover the front of my neck with my hand.

@rainbowturtles oh good atleast there's a reason!! And I'm so sorry to hear about your burn that sounds awful!!!
@lmmtravels can you post a pic of your chart?
CD/DPO: 8 DPO
Timing: -1
Testing: November 4, 5 or 6 (undecided!)
R/R: I am getting a bit impatient, it's only been 8 days, but anxiety is a little high, so just want to test and get it over with, whatever the result is. We had a bbq yesterday and there were three babies there and our friends announced their pregnancy...so not helping with the impatience.
Also, I have a good friend whom I truly love having, but she is a bit naive in the understanding fertility department. Yes, I am still learning, but she hasn't really even tried to learn. She has had one child, but just tried for a few months and got lucky. She doesn't understand though that there is a fertile window, that you can actually test 2 weeks after ovulation and a number of other things. Which would be fine overall, but can be frustrating at times when talking with her. She legitimately thinks she had a higher chance of getting pregnant because she did head stands after having sex for like two months straight. Erg. How can someone really think that?
CS/Q: None.
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have? I don't know of any unique or quirky habits I have, but I have lots of habits/routines. Like, I have to make a cup of tea at work to start my day (or I am not in a good mood), I arrive to work 30 minutes early so I can eat my breakfast at my desk, I also have the same routine with my pups every morning. So not much a habit, but if my routine gets disrupted, the whole day is thrown off.
CD/dpo- 22/7
Timing: -1, 0, 1
Testing- maybe at 10 dpo? that's pretty early but better than my usual habits lol
R/R- thanks for all the bday wishes!! I ended up having a pretty great day! I took the day off today too... it's supposed to be a "productive" day-a.k.a dmv, then cleaning... I'm hoping I can get my clothing situation under control anat be try a capsule wardrobe!
CS/Q- nothing really yet.
GTKY- hmm... my dh would probably say some of my type-a habits (temping in particular... he thinks it's a bit much lol, as well as the way i go about meal planning), since I can be very non chalant about some things. I also can't stand being on the phone for too long, and if I'm on the phone a lot at work, I don't want to talk on my ride home, and it drives me nuts when dh calls me and then just sits on the phone... it's like, I'm tired and just trying to get home, I want to turn the radio on and not try to force a convo or sit there in silence... ya know?!
CD/DPO: 24/5
Timing: -4, -3, -3, -2, -1, +1
Testing: Not any time soon.
R/R: My cats are driving me nuts. They need to stop clawing my furniture. I've tried everything and I cannot figure out how to make them stop!
CS/Q: No.
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have? I can't fall asleep unless the TV is on in the background.
CD/DPO: 27/12
Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0
Testing: hoping to hold out until the 3rd.
R/R: Im really hoping to not go BSC this week while I wait to test. the 3rd is the day FF says to test, and I only have 1 test left, so I really don't want to have to buy more. I also hate the disappointment, so I feel like just getting AF would be easier than staring at a negative test and then just waiting. However my chart is looking really pretty this month, and thats not helping the BSC. @beachbunnyxo123 Im with you on the struggle for not testing this morning!
CS/Q: sorry if this is huge!
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have?
My parents love to tell people this quirk from when I was a kid. I have always loved to sing, and my favorite time to sing was when I was going #2. They would always know thats what I was doing, becuase I would just belt my new favorite song of the time! I dont do this anymore, but they never let me live it down.
Now I know one thing I do, that people think is strange, is I have to eat small food/candy (like M&M's) in groups of 2. I dont eat things like small candy or like elbow noodles in singles. and if I get to the end and there is an odd number I break it in half to make it even. I have no idea why I do this either.

R/R: I had a BFP dream last night, it was so vivid, I was testing at 8dop, I tested with 3 different methods (not just tests but methods using science experiments), I called my midwife and canceled my RE appointment. I even told DH, blurting it out and not using my long planned for method of telling him). I am only 3dpo and already getting my head messed with!
CS/Q: not yet
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have? color is important, my notes are color coded.... colored pens make everything better.

Testing: Sat morning, 10 dpo
R/R: My office picked a dumb theme for Halloween costumes this year, so I was a party pooper and just wore cat ears. The wrath has already begun. I usually participate in everything, so this is really out of character for me! I did not feel like going to Goodwill over the weekend to dress as a Hillbilly. Good grief!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have? I have a habit of running to my bed after flicking the light switch off. So the monsters don't get me.
@rainbowturtles Ouuuuuch!!!
@Pinky917 When my DH gets anxious he covers his neck/lower half of his face with a bent arm… not unlike a vampire.
I wonder if this is an instinctual thing to protect your neck when you’re feeling uncomfortable with a situation.
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD/DPO: 14/29
Timing: -3, -2, -1, O
Testing: BFNs on CD10 and 12, waiting out the inevitable.
R/R: Saturday morning at swimsiter’s house, 5:10am, temping alarm goes off and I take my temp:
BBT: Beep Beep
DH: What does the thermometer say? Does it say we have to do it?
Me: *gigglesnort* no, it doesn’t say we have to do it
DH: Stupid thermometer, I’m going back to sleep
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have?
I’m sure I have them, but I honestly can’t think of one right now. Based on everyone else’s responses though it’s weird that I get a small sense of satisfaction when the volume is just right at an odd number like 17. It’s almost like I’m proud of my discerning taste that 20 is too loud, but 15 is too soft. 17 is juuuuuust right.
CD/DPO: 26-11
Timing:n/a I did a bad job tracking
Testing: I took one this morning. I think I saw a very faint line, but it's pretty faint. I will wait a few days and try again.
R/R: I've been feeling like shit. I think I had IB but I also think it's just my body being whacked out still. My husband thinks I'm nuts.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have? I'm not sure! I laugh when I'm nervous and I have no filter. Not exactly weird, but maybe quirky!

Testing: ugh started yesterday at 8dpo.. i know.. i know... stark white obviously
R/R: ive been symptom spotting LIKE CRAZY. my boobs have been sore since o day... twinges, some cramping, super emotional since 5dpo. all of the above to early to be an indicator or anything. i am a full on nut. but RAVE: we get really into trick or treaters in our house, so im excited for tonight! our neighborhood is a popular spot... last year we had about 1000 kids!
CS/Q: none
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have? super superstitious - especially with my 16 month old son. before i go to sleep at night i have to go in and say the same thing to him while hes sleeping.
@abjm0325 @rainbowturtles get the silver cream!! im one of 6, and one of my sisters got a bad burn on her hand when we were little. the doctor prescribed some to my parents with unlimited refills haha since he said with that many kids there were bound to be more! works like a charm
@rainbowturtles Aaah! Sorry about your hand!!!

Timing: ED during FW
Testing: Tomorrow (knocking ALL the wood AF doesn't show before then)
R/R: Gonna test tomorrow - obvs hoping for a BFP, but would settle for my period not starting before then, since if it can hold out for tomorrow, that would give me a solid ten day luteal phase. Feel very stressed about the whole thing!
CS/Q: If my period DOES start today, how bad is that, LP-wise?

@rainbowturtles Ouch! Hope you heal up quickly. Cooking burns suck.
@Nelbetron Happy belated birthday!
@lboalboh Have you tried double-sided tape where they like to claw? They don't like the feeling of it, and it was the only thing that got our cat to stop.

Timing: -4, -1 bleh.
Testing: No time soon.
R/R: Rant: I'm still sick. Preschool germs are real. Rave: Took DS ToT last night and now we are drowning in candy!
CS/Q: Not really. I can usually see similarities in all my charts, but I've been sick this time basically since right after O and it has inflated my temps from my usual. I had to throw out 1 because it was obviously fever. I know it doesn't really matter at this point anyway.
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have? I like to keep one foot out from under the blankets to fall asleep at night. Just one.
ETA minus sign. Cold meds are making me loopy.

CS/Q: none at the moment. Just got my CH this morning. So far it's a pretty chart and easy to read!

@beachbunnyxo123 what a pretty chart! FX that it stays that way - I can't believe you have the self control to wait to test though! I'd be driving myself BSC!
@mrs35 FX that it's not an AF drop!
@rainbowturtles sorry to hear about your hand!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 25/3
Timing: meh - 0, 1 since DH was out of town the week before O
Testing: I'll be waiting until 12DPO since my LP is usually 11 - unless something happens like another temp shift, or if I just start to go BSC
R/R: I hate Halloween - especially all the people lighting off fireworks all weekend... grrr!
CS/Q: Nope! FF finally realized that I was right (previously had dotted CH on CD19 - the first day of fertile CM), and now gives me solid CH on CD22 which was when I thought I O'd all along
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have? I have to pull my feet up when I'm sitting down... couch, office, kitchen table, car, plane - doesn't matter. I'm just not comfortable when I'm sitting in a normal position haha
@rainbowturtles AW that sucks!! I hope your hand feels better. Burns are the worst. lol @ oven mitt hand haha
Month/Cycle: 3 / 2
CD/DPO: CD 36
Timing: BD EOD to every 3 days.
Testing: Well every test so far has been a BFN...even with a first response so I'm just holding out until AF now.
R/R: So I thought I would be back over in WTO a week ago...but AF has still not shown. Last cycle was 33 days and now I'm on CD 36 so wtf is going on body.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is a unique or quirky habit you have? I spill everything...everything. Its become a bad habit now. After I typed this I spilt my coffee on my jeans. Monday off to a great start
Me: 36 DH: 41
**TW**I never expected to be a person who would cry over someone else's pregnancy announcement, but that's actually exactly what I came on here to do. My coworker's fiancee is pregnant and I had to faux happiness and go shut my office door for a while. There are a lot of us on here dealing with stuff like this or worse.
Editted only to add **TW**
Given it was not malicious (seems like an honest mistake), she already apologized, she didn't post a blaring BFP and there isn't even an expectation communicated (that I could find) that you cannot hint you might have a faint line, then I think you should cut some slack. It's the internet after all and we cannot possible know everyone's triggers.
I fully respect people's sensitivities, but also have to understand that it's a fine line (no pun intended) between blatant intent to offend and people being overly sensitive to information.
Additionally, if it is that bad...then no one should QFP it because that makes it more permanent and could potentially continue to re-offend. It wouldn't be a dirty delete if someone kindly asked her to edit it. I think QFP in this case actually heightens the issue and makes it worse. But that is my opinion.
Now, I don't want this to be a debate overall, so we should probably drop it and move on.
as for the possibility of IB that can only be determined in retrospect. I do hope your stay here is short but while your here please take the time to learn our culture and be sensitive to others.

This board is meant to be a safe and supportive place. People who have been trying longer NEED that. You don't get it and I hope you never have to, but there is a reason that there is more burden on people to be careful than there is on people who struggling to be "overly sensitive."
