I think anybody can start one, right?

Month/Cycle:

CD/DPO:

Timing:

Testing:

R/R:

CS/Q:

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?

purplg8r · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/3

CD/DPO: 36/8

Timing: -2, -1, +1

Testing: tomorrow

R/R: going to a lularoe party tonight. It's an addiction lol. Then doing something with H. So glad it's Friday!

CS/Q: I'm afraid to go to the bathroom. Last month this was the day that I started to have light pink spotting so I'm afraid to find it again.

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird? Often when I have popcorn, I like to dip it in nacho cheese. Yum! Everyone thinks I'm crazy until they try it. I also like mayo on top of my grilled cheese sandwich (I put it on after I cook it)

bumpybump · November 2016

@purplg8r yep, anyone can start these. I like the variety we get for GTKY questions when various people start them.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: -4, -2, -1

Testing: holding out

R/R: Yesterday was gorgeous here. 75 degrees! We got a glance of the baby rhino and they announced a giraffe is pregnant too! Can't wait for that one too. Today is going to be COLD and the wind is going nuts already.

CS/Q: Huge temp drop today. No question but feel free to look if you want (link in siggy).

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?
Growing up I put honey on my mashed potatoes and dipped potato chips into Miracle Whip. French Fries dipped in a (chocolate) Frosty (but I think that's common now)

kiwi2628 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 22/9

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

Testing: I definitely didn't test this morning. Nope. I didn't. (I did). You can guess what it was.

R/R: Going down the drain of self-wallowing and sadness, so if you aren't ready, dont read: I am symptom spotting like a nutcase here even though I have felt 'out' this cycle since 1 DPO. Its such a sad thing to be so hopeful. This really sucks.

CS/Q:

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?
None of these are too weird, but some find them weird: Peanut butter and honey sandwiches and dipping fries in a combo of ketchup and mayo

bumpybump · November 2016

@kiwi2628 it's still early so FX! In Idaho, a mixture of ketchup and mayo are placed on the tables of restaurants and they call it "Fry Sauce" so you have the knowledge of the "potato gods."

LadyMoo · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 16/18

CD/DPO: CD 24

Timing: Crap.

Testing: Not likely.

R/R: Got cramps. Mild, but I know AF is so close! Just waiting for it to arrive. Knew this month would be a bust. Oh well.

CS/Q: Nope.

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird? I love sweet and savoury mixed, so I'm down for popcorn and nacho cheese @purplg8r! That sounds amazing! I can't think of anything myself, I'm quite boring when it comes to food?!

**edited as yet again I put month 17. Well, I'm technically almost there so...

zwink1 · November 2016

@kiwi2628 I'm sorry you're feeling down. I replied in (I think) a wto thread earlier this week that I don't really get "excited" anymore, but I do definitely get hopeful. It does suck to have that crushed. Try to stay positive, it's still early this cycle!

Month/Cycle: 13/12

CD/DPO: 29/4

Timing: -4, -1

Testing: nothing planned, maybe next fri or say...I might bump it up a day to thur so that I don't feel guilty drinking wine at thanksgiving, but that's probably too early.

R/R: H is getting it together and dropping off his stuff for his SA this morning. Hopefully we'll get those results back soon and everything will come back clear. Poor guy seemed a little panic stricken when I was going over all the rules.

Also, we go this afternoon to presign the docs for the closing on our house we're selling. Buyer is set to close Tuesday! It will be such a stress relief having that gone, I am going to miss our little house though.

CS/Q: Nope.

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?
H thinks I'm nuts when I dip my Cheerios in cream cheese. I also dip potato chips in cream cheese. That gets me the same "you're crazy" face from H.

hartmich · November 2016

@zwink1 I hope everything goes well with your closing! Buying & selling homes can be awful so good luck!

@purplg8r I hear you on being afraid to go to the bathroom. Hopefully we can distract ourselves with fun this weekend.

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 34/9

Timing: -2, O

Testing: Sunday or Monday. I'm terrified though

R/R: On one hand, Friday. On the other hand, I think I'm losing my damn mind about this cycle.

CS/Q:

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?

I was gonna say Wendy's french fries dipped in a Frosty but like @bumpybump I don't think that's really that weird. I just love salty/sweet combos. I also love "fry sauce" like @kiwi2628.

haylsbayls-2 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 29/15

Timing: EOD

Testing: I don't know why I'm still peeing on things but I am. All negs

R/R: just waiting for CD1 so I can get this show on the road

CS/Q:

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?
Not a combination but I love marmite (vegemite)

cmorris07 · November 2016

@purplg8r I am so glad it's Friday also. Have fun tonight!

@bumpybump @haymich I love dipping my fries in a egg nog shake!

@kiwi2628 I think I would like that fry sauce!

@zwink1 Good luck with your house!

* I don't think my tags work when I'm on mobile. Ugh sorry.

Month/Cycle: 4 / 3

CD/DPO: 40 / 19

Timing: - 3 -1 1

Testing:

R/R: AF should be here tomorrow.

CS/Q:

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?

I love mixing marinara sauce with ranch then dipping my pizza in it.

[Deleted User] · November 2016

FX that test was just too early @kiwi2628

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 21/8

Timing: -4,-2,0x2 (IUI)

Testing: Was told to test Thursday... thinking of starting Tuesday or Wednesday.

R/R: Just getting so many feels with this cycle. I was thinking this morning that if this is not successful I will be going into month 9. Which means that if I had gotten KU on my first try I would be about to have a baby. Tryingggg to stay positive but I'm losing that battle.

CS/Q:

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?

Ummmmm I really enjoy eggplant and tofu together?

hartmich · November 2016

@antoto It's just a few more days, girl. Maybe there's so much added pressure this cycle because of the holidays, I can't stop thinking about how much more amazing they will be if I'm KU instead of sitting in the corner inhaling cookies and pie. I'm crossing my fingers so hard that this IUI was all you needed to get KU!

darkrose88 · November 2016

@kiwi2628 I actually dip fries in both mayo & ketchup but I've never mixed them together... now I realllly want to try both mixed together!

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 34/14

Timing: -3, +1

Testing: Tomorrow morning. I'm so not trying to get my hopes up.

R/R: So happy it is Friday. I'm constantly sleep deprived because I get up early and workout. Which means I temp reallllly early too, so even on mornings I don't workout, struggle to fall back asleep. But tomorrow FX I can just temp and immediately fall back to sleep!!

CS/Q: Just waiting...

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?
I put ketchup on my eggs, which most people think is weird. I also love french fries dipped in frosty's like @bumpybump and @hartmich but I don't think it is that weird either.

sheknows6 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2 (1/1 NTNP)

CD/DPO: 21/8

Timing: -5, -3, -1

Testing: Probably tomorrow. But trying to hold out until at least Sunday

R/R: Rant: I feel "out", I don't know why. Also, just found out this morning that a third person is leaving our company, and she's our HR director so now I'm concerned about the future of our business. Weeeee.

CS/Q: I don't have enough cycles under my belt to question my temps yet but my temps the last few days are making me question things

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?

Not really, I'm not very fussy about my food other than I expect it to taste good.

@antoto I really have my fx that this is your cycle, hopefully the iui took!
@kiwi2628 the urge to test this morning was ridiculous, it's way too early! It's still early for you too so fx
@LadyMoo I'm sorry this cycle seemed liked a bust for you
@zwink1 good luck with the H's SA!
@hartmich fx for you!! I'm trying to hang on until at least Sunday too if I can!
@haylsbayls sorry about the bfn's
@cmorris07 ranch and marinara sounds delicious!
@darkrose88 fx for you!!!!

beachbunnyxo123 · November 2016

I go here now!!

@purplg8r hope you get some great stuff at the party tonight!

@bumpybump that is so exciting with the rhino and giraffe!!

@kiwi2628 sorry for the sadness your experiencing but it is still early have my fx for you!

@ladymoo do you know how many DPO you are?

@zwink1 congrats on being so close selling the house!! So exciting and I'm sure it will feel like a huge relief!!

@hartmich fx that this is your cycle!!

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 17/3

Timing: -5,-4,-2,-1,0

Testing: maybe next weekend

R/R: yay so excited to be over here! FF was being screwy and kept switching my CHs, they just moved them again today but I feel like they are here to stay! DH and I are going to Baltimore this weekend to visit my nieces and sister and brother in law. Very excited to see them and hoping we don't hit traffic tonight!

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?
I have a love for sour cream and put it on a lot of things like French fries and grilled cheese. My family thinks it's kind of weird

edit- autocorrect

adirat · November 2016

@sheknows6 I don't think you have anything to worry about with temps. Every single one of your post-O temps is above your coverline, which is the important thing. What is making you question them?

(FWIW I think you may have ovulated cd12 with fallback rise instead of cd14, because of your CM, but even with that you still have high temps.)

Also, sorry to hear about the job turmoil

sheknows6 · November 2016

@adirat FF lowered my coverline at cycle day 18 so they were originally below the cover.....I have seen a few other ladies questioning FF this month so maybe it's rubbing off, combo'd with work and just general stress.

I'm overthinking it probably. I need to just chill out

swimsister · November 2016

@antoto “Ummmmm I really enjoy eggplant and tofu together?” This is my textural nightmare…

Also, I feel you about month 9. DH wants to start making NYE plans and I’m like “my plan was to be having a baby. Other than that I don’t really know or care.”

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 17/3

Timing: -2, O, +1

Testing: I’m not going to test at my parent’s house over the holiday weekend so probably 13DPO

R/R: So far I have done 1 phone screen, 2 interviews and a site tour for this job I’m hoping to get. They’ve told me that I’m their lead candidate, discussed salary requirements and start dates, but they still haven’t made a formal offer. They also said with the holiday next week and people being out I probably won’t get one next week either. I’m getting super annoyed. On the one hand, I’d rather not be fielding an offer in the TWW just because of that unknown, but also… shit or get off the pot, you know?

Back to seeking some grace: DH and I have a fun day planned tomorrow of beer and watching college football at a favorite bar downtown. I’m really looking forward to it!

CS/Q:

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?

I chop up cherry tomatoes and put them in cottage cheese…. Judge away.

adirat · November 2016

@sheknows6 Yeah FF is acting up more than usual (though I often disagree with FF so...)

So this is what I think looking at your chart and ignoring FF:
I would give you CD11 O with fallback rise. I would ignore the CD8 temp and give you a coverline just above 98.4. This would put your temps the last few days at or just barely above the coverline. If you're worried, keep in mind that if you also drop CD9, your coverline would be substantively lower and the post-O temps wouldn't be concerning at all. If you have multiple charts in a row with this issue, then you may want to revisit it, but I wouldn't worry at all right now.

Dilynne · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 8

CD/DPO: 31/11

Timing: -2, +2

Testing: Took a test today ahead of my appointment this afternoon - BFN, no surprise there.

R/R: I feel like once I get the ball rolling with the tests, things might start coming together.

CS/Q:

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird? Perogies and ketchup. All the time, err'day.

swimsister · November 2016

WillRunForWine21 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 24/11

Timing: -2, O

Testing: BFN this morning. Bring on Happy hour.

R/R: Trying REALLY hard to look on the bright side... I can enjoy holiday parties and do not have to conceal anything with the in-laws over at Thanksgiving. but damn it, it still hurts every time.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?
i love olives. like LOVE them. I put them in everything I make and have learned after 8 years of being with DH that it is not common and maybe I should keep them on the side and only add them to my own plate. Though, @beachbunnyxo123 I totally hear you with the sour cream

LadyMoo · November 2016

Thanks @sheknows6. Just ready for this cycle to be over. Ugh.

I don't temp @beachbunnyxo123 (I know, stupid right?!) I got a positive OPK on CD 12, so I'm either 11 or 12 DPO. I really am going to start temping this next cycle though, I may not even be ovulating for all I even know?! I need to know. Should have started it a long time ago.
I think I'm also going to bite the bullet in the New Year and start talking to a doctor.

**Edit due to a spelling mistake.

Sorry for the BFNs...

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 19/3

Timing: -3, -2, O

Testing: 11 DPO..hoping to just wait for AF

R/R: Wishing I could find some energy...not feeling it today.

CS/Q: nah

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird? DH and the in laws think it's weird I put sugar on my rice.

hartmich · November 2016

@willrunforwine21 Aw, dang it. Make your HH drinks a double.

MaMinette13 · November 2016

Month/Cycle:3/3

CD/DPO: 21/6

Timing: got my bases covered!

Testing: Waiting until Thursday (hopefully...) because it's our wedding anniversary. We decided we're staying home, so I don't have to worry about being mopy around anyone else.

R/R: I don't know if this is a R/R or just "I'm a crazy person" but this morning I went to the bathroom and had a tiny amount of blood on my underwear. The TTC crazy person in me was like DPO 6 - ITS IMPLANTATION BLEEDING, PARTY!!! but then the rational part of me remembered I was in a hurry and cut myself saving this morning (ouch!) and it was blood from the cut. I then hung my head in shame.....

CS/Q: Super random, but after I got a Peak reading on my ClearBlue OPK the happy face never went away, but I have some sticks left over (I O earlish in my cycle). If I keep the applicator (or whatever it's called) can I use it again next cycle, or is it done?

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?

@purplg8r I have a really similar answer...when I go to the movies I love to dip my red vines in the nacho cheese! When we were dating, my DH always made jokes about how he thought that kind of stuff was what pregnant women craved! Haha

purplg8r · November 2016

@bumpybump honey with mashed potatoes sound interesting. I love French fries & frostys!

@kiwi2628 I like peanut butter & honey sandwiches too!

@zwink1. I did BBQ Fritos in cream cheese!

@hartmich just now I was like, is that pink tinged? I can't tell if it's light light pink

zwink1 · November 2016

@swimsister I hear you about the job thing. I believe we've discussed this before. I'm also hanging out in limbo. It is so annoying; get your shit together already!

@hartmich, @cmorris07, and @beachbunnyxo123 - thank you ladies! We have crossed all of the hurdles and have only the paperwork left to sign. I'm hopeful that nothing will go wrong now and I'll have one less thing to worry about!

@sheknows6 - thank you! Funny story, he dropped it off at like 715 this morning...he calls just after 10 to ask if I've heard anything from my Dr yet (she's the one who ordered it). I had to resist the urge to laugh at him and remember that he hasn't been stabbed by needles multiple times in the last year or so, and has no idea what sort of timeline to expect. Sweet, delusional man. He's pretty nervous about the results, obviously.

Edit - typo (mobile proofreading is hard!)

[Deleted User] · November 2016

@hartmich yeah holiday time ttc is definitely extra tough. on top of it this will be my first Christmas without family... ever. They are all meeting up in New Zealand and me and H couldn't afford the tickets so my family will be together without me. so if I'm alone and still not pregnant by then... fuck that's going to suck.

kiwi2628 · November 2016

@bumpybump sorry for the temp drop. Mayo and ketchup is big in London which is where I picked it up.

@zwink1 I still get excited around O time. I'm like, 'THIS IS HAPPENING', and then after O I get wallowy.

@antoto I am hoping so hard for you this cycle. Also, like @swimsister said, that combo is making my texture pickiness freak out. Blehhh

@darkrose88 mix them together!!! It'll change your life

@Dilynne sorry for the BFN

kaylev0430 · November 2016

@purplg8r nacho cheese on popcorn actually sounds really good – I’ll have to try that. FX for you.
@bumpybump so sorry about your temp drop. Fry sauce is my jam – even though I had no idea it was called Fry Sauce. Florida needs to get on Idaho’s level.
@kiwi2628 really hoping it’s just too early for you. FX!
@zwink1 congratulations on closing! I can imagine the huge weight that lifted. Potato chips in cream cheese sounds amazing!
@hartmich fries in Frosty’s is the best thing ever. DH go to Wendy’s in PJs just for that combo at least once a week! My fingers are very crossed for you!
@antoto I’m sorry you’re feeling bummed, and that you don’t get to spend the holiday with family. If you lived in FL I'd set a place for you both in a hot second!
@darkrose88 fx for you!
@sheknows6 turnover is always nervewracking, but I hope everything at work and TTC works out for you.
@swimsister I HATE when the interview process is dragged out. I really hope you get the job – it sure sounds like you did! Have so much fun with your DH tomorrow!
@dilynne I just had my very first perogies last year. Literally changed my life. I hope things start falling into place for you soon!
@willrunforwine21 sorry you’re feeling discouraged – fx things happen for you very soon
@maminette I’ve done that in cycles past – it does make you crazy! FX for you!

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 16/8

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

Testing: nope

R/R: Rant: I can't stand when people at work don't answer emails. At least acknowledge you got it, you know? Why do I need to beg you to tell me you're working on getting an answer to a question?

On a less angry note: just found out Wednesday that I passed my Comprehensive Exams for school - so now only 3 weeks stand between me and a Master's Degree. I've been working on it for the last 2.5 years and I'm beyond ready to be done. So glad I can see the end!

CS/Q: not today!

GTKY: is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird? I really like ketchup on mac and cheese - and hot sauce on pretty much anything.

themrs · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 17/3

Timing: -2, O

Testing: I normally start testing at 10dpo but that is Thanksgiving. So that could be good or bad.

R/R: So so happy it's Friday! It's been a very long week. Excited for tomorrow - date night. Dinner and a movie- Fantastic Beasts

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Is there a food combination that you like that everyone thinks is weird?

Hmmm I honestly can't think of anything. I'm super picky with food and don't like combining much of anything. However I actually do like eggs and ketchup like @darkrose88 mentioned.

@kiwi2628 I hope it's just too early for you. Good luck testing tomorrow, got my fingers crossed for you!

@zwink1 my husband is getting a SA done as well. Yesterday he called to make an appointment for drop off and he called the wrong place and it was super awkward lol. Poor guys.

@darkrose88 I'm surprised you haven't tested yet since you're 14dpo! You have some serious willpower lol

@beachbunnyxo123 @swimsister hey cycle buddies!

@dilynne @willrunforwine21 so sorry about the bfns

Edit because the bump ate my post a million times.

Dilynne · November 2016

@kaylev0430 Your first perogies?! What!! You've been missing out!

kaylev0430 · November 2016

@Dilynne TELL ME ABOUT IT - so good!

lund · November 2016

***Lurking from WTO***

@antoto sorry this will be a family-less holiday. What my DH and I do in those situation is plan a fabulous day for just the two of us - like stock the house with our favorite "guilty pleasure" food and booze, binge watch Netflix, go sledding (or whatever), have sex... just plan a day that you can look forward to.

darkrose88 · November 2016

@kaylev0430 I totally agree with you about the e-mails! It is beyond frustrating when I have to spend time following up on an e-mail I've sent a coworker. Even if they don't have an answer, they should at least acknowledge they received and will look into it. Heck even an IM letting me know they got it would be better than radio silence.

@TheMrs I really haven't had much confidence in my cycle just because it is my first and my temps were all over the place. It also helps that I had no pg tests im my apartment and I've been holding off buying any lol. I just got some yesterday, so I'm sure I won't be as good in the future.

kaylev0430 · November 2016

@darkrose88 it's literally like pulling teeth sometimes. And then, I swing by their office and drop a casual "hey, did you get my email?" and they go "Yep! I've got this and that in the works, and I was thinking about this and this..." WHY COULDN'T YOU RESPOND WITH ALL THIS? I can't.

(ETA: cat photo because this is very me)

bumpybump · November 2016

@kiwi2628 @kaylev0430 I'm not upset about the huge temp drop, yet! I'm hopeful it's an implantation Dip at CD8!!!!

@zwink1 FX for good SA results!

@cmorris07 your tags are working just fine

@antoto @swimsister Hang in there ladies! I was in your same boat the first time around.

@beachbunnyxo123 glad FF finally made up its mind! Good to see you here.

@swimsister is it a large, corporate company? In my experience, they take FOREVER to complete their hiring due to all their "checks & balances" they have in place. Hopefully you'll know by Dec 1 but it sounds promising already.

@willrunforwine21 here's what I think of olives...

@shan870 white sugar on rice? I grew up with brown sugar and cinnamon on rice but white does seem strange to me.

@maminette13 I used CBD OPKs when we tried the first time around and I was able to reuse the "handle" each cycle with new OPK sticks. I had a First Response one back in August that permanently turned off after getting my first positive OPK. It pissed me off! What a waste of money!

darkrose88 · November 2016

@kaylev0430 OMG I love that cat photo. It is so me too! And yes, I've ended up just calling people on the phone, and they are like, "Oh I saw it...." and all I can think is, "where you ever going to respond!!!???" Blah... people suck sometimes.
