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

CD/DPO: 25/12

Timing: doesn't matter

Testing: BFN

R/R: Vacation starts at 5pm!

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)!

My H is really into guns, so he's constantly playing with an empty handgun while we watch tv. All I can hear in the background is him charging the slide and dry firing it, and he practices aiming too. It's always unloaded but it still gets on my nerves.

kiwi2628 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 26/13

Timing: perfect...but no one cares

Testing: Haven't tested since that last BFN on 11 DPO, but I won't be testing again unless AF is a solid 2 days late

R/R: AF is due today. I wish it would show and we could get going on the next cycle

CS/Q:

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)!

He has an inability to be still. He must be standing, walking, twiddling his thumbs, jiggling his foot- he can't be still. Sometimes I find it endearing, sometimes it makes me want to stab him in the eye.

starla · November 2016

I think I go here now?

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 16/2

Timing: -3, -2, 0

Testing: not until at least CD8

R/R: Sooo I'm not 100% sure that I ovulated. I got dark OPK 2 days ago and FF is telling me that I O'd yesterday. Based on SHOW cervix and wetness I think it was 2 days ago. I'm dried up but still getting somewhat dark OPKs (not as dark as before) and kind of O pain. I think it might be my cyst though.

CS/Q: Anyone that has a recurring cyst, when do you feel it bothering you?

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)!
None he's pretty normal LOL

Edit: The Bump ate part of my
post.

ohemgee-2 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 25/5-ish

Timing: Good

Testing: no plans

R/R: The drive by yesterday about the EWCM could have been me. I've had copious amounts this cycle. It stopped for a couple days, and now it's back *TMI* has some yellow/creamy to it. I would be lying if I said I didn't google similar wordage to what the drive by said. We've continued to HIO since I got my crosshairs, but I think my H needs a break (as do I). Ironically, this is the first month that I didn't drink any green tea...

CS/Q: Nothing to see. Stopped temping after my CH

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)! He sleeps with a body pillow and always has to wrap his legs around it. When we aren't at home he tries to use me as his body pillow but, DO NOT TOUCH ME WHEN I'M SLEEPING!!

@sheknows6 Sorry about the BFN. And the fun thing would totally freak me out! But I live in Canada, and have very different gun laws so guns are foreign to me.
@kiwi2628 Sorry about the BFN

BertieMeetsGertie · November 2016

@kiwi2628 @sheknows6 sorry about the bfn, ladies

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD/DPO: 19/5

Timing: -4, -1

Testing: not sure

R/R: Rave! We just sent in our final car payment, 2.5 years early I might add! After we save for another month or so, we can go car shopping! Living with only one car for the last 5 years has had its challenges. Can't wait to be a 2 car family again!

CS/Q: nothing to see since I stoppped temping after CH

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)!
I cant stand when he bites his nails!! I have an issue with sounds (thanks to my coworker at my last job who snapped her gum all day long). He bites them so much he barely has anything left.

flashley-2 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: -4,-2,-1,Ox2,+1

Testing: Would like to wait until Tuesday but who am I kidding.

R/R: I feel like working today like I feeling like shooting myself in the foot !!

CS/Q: Nothing

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)!
If a job around the house needs to be done he has to do it or he will get all frustrated and think about it constantly. When he has days off he fills them up with 'to do's' and then complains he never gets days off ! That's where him and I are different. I take days to do nothing - he can't do that.

@kiwi2628 @sheknows6 sorry for the BFNs.

@Ohemgee That's it. I'm getting DH a body pillow !

@BertieMeetsGertie We are planning on going down to one vehicle. The bonus is I work at home and neither of us have a social life. So I am hoping I won't regret this decision !

starla · November 2016

@kiwi2628 @sheknows6 Sorry about BFN

@ohemgee Hang in there!

@BertieMeetsGertie Congrats on paying off the car early. That's huge!

JulesDP · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: -3,-2,-1,0

Testing: 12/1 if AF isn't here before then

R/R: My crazy, old, in everyone's business co-worker is begging me to throat punch her. I'm so glad that it's a short week!

CS/Q: --

GTKY: Two words for you: loogie. hocking.

@kiwi2628 @sheknows6 So sorry for the BFNs

@BertieMeetsGertie yay for car shopping soon! Also, I'm kinda loving this no temping thing.

swimsister · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 21/7

Timing: -2, O, +1

Testing: 13DPO

R/R: I don’t have much, I’m just counting the hours until I can leave here tomorrow afternoon.

CS/Q: My Chart I’m stressing a little bit about my low Post O temps. I don’t know what that would mean. Also, I know I’ve been a bad charter so I’m trying to relax about it a little. Also, does it look like my Mabis might be crapping out? It’s given me 3 almost identical temps in a row at different waking times/ different nights sleep. I’ve had it over a year.

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)! Does the inability to put dirty dishes in a dirty dishwasher instead of the sink count? No? I’ll say the fact that he LOVES to cook, but HATES to eat leftovers.

BertieMeetsGertie · November 2016

@JulesDP I agree about the temping! I really think I'm stressing less because I'm not freaking out one way or the other about a single temp.
@FLAshley it's something you have to get used to. Our problem is that we commute together but I get out earlier than he does. So, I have to kill time by either sitting in the car in the parking lot, going shopping, or just working longer. At least we won't have 2 car payments!

beachbunnyxo123 · November 2016

@sheknows6 sorry for the bfn, yay for vacation!!!

@kiwi2628 still rooting for you this cycle!! Fx for you!

@ohemgee google is the absolute worst!! The searching gets me SS everytime!

@BertieMeetsGertie congrats on paying off the car, and doing it so early!

@flashley sorry for the work pain!!!

@julesdp thank goodness for a short work week!!

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 21/7

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

Testing: I keep saying Saturday but the temptation on thanksgiving will be real. I can already hear myself justifying that I would only test to see if I could drink...

R/R: so glad it's a short work week I'm so over this week already. I'm trying to keep myself as distracted as possible so I'm not tempted to test.

CS/Q: none

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)!
My husband loves mossy oak camo and has mossy oak everything!!! And I hate it!!!!

[Deleted User] · November 2016

Hey ladies, I'm stepping back from this thread since I'm out and it's just a big bummer. FX so hard for everyone here. Hope I don't see any of you back in WTO.

littlebug2010 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4 ttcal

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: really great!

Testing: nope, I dont have any tests at home, so if AF is late I have to go get one

R/R: I had told myself that this month and next I was going to chill out with the TTC, and let the holidays be awesome, which is turning out to be super hard! My post O temps are wicked low @swimsister, im in the same boat you are! I think my mabis (only 3 months old!!!) is crapping out on me. I tested with both my mabis and my regular one yesterday and today, the mabis gave me a 97.75 and a 97.4! but my other one was 98.1 both days (it isnt a bbt thermometer). So I might be in the market for a new one after christmas. Im not temping any more this month anyways!

CS/Q: nope, just annoyed with my thermometer.

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)! My husband is the clean one, so he tends to do a lot more housework. I dont mind if a few things pile up, and I take care of them once a week, but he likes it clean all the time! He also does this weird thing with his shirts, where he pulls on a string on the left side on the hem. He eventually makes this huge rip up his shirt and we have to throw them out! Its so strange!

sheknows6 · November 2016

@antoto, I'm with you on that one, and hugs and wine to you!

thebookisbetter · November 2016

Hi everyone! This is my first time contributing in this thread after introducing myself on the newbie post last night :-)

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 21/12

Timing: +1 (ugh)

Testing: BFN at 10DPO

R/R: Half day today!

CS/Q: N/A

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)! My husband ALWAYS sneezes 3 times in a row. When he sneezes, I always wait for the 3rd one before saying "bless you"...sometimes there is a brief pause between them, but it's always 3 in a row!

Month/Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing:-5,-4,-3,-1,O,+1

Testing: 12/27

R/R: I think I'm done grocery shopping for Thanksgiving!!

CS/Q:

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)! DH's new "habit" is telling me it's his FW whenever he wants to HIO. My reaction everytime he does it. Not funny!!!

swimsister · November 2016

@britvahok lol!! Your DH's "habit" made me giggle out loud!

JulesDP · November 2016

@antoto all of the creepy hugs to you

@britvahok I LOL'ed at your husband's FW.

adirat · November 2016

(lurking)

@antoto I'm so sorry my friend. Hugs and wine forever.

@britvahok That is hilarious! I mean yeah I could see it getting old but that is clever.

ohemgee-2 · November 2016

@antoto so sorry to hear that. I was rooting for you so hard. Treat yourself, and try to enjoy your short week.

beachbunnyxo123 · November 2016

@antoto so sorry, treat yourself today

britvahok · November 2016

Ladies sorry about the BFN

@antoto do something special for yourself, you're in our thoughts

zwink1 · November 2016

@kiwi2628 my H can't sit still either. It drives me nuts sometimes, especially since most of my hobbies are low key, relaxing things. I'm sorry for your bfn.

@thebookisbetter (I totally agree btw) Welcome!

Month/Cycle: 13/12

CD/DPO: 33/8

Timing: -4, -1

Testing: probably not at all... See R/R

R/R:
Rave- the buyer signs and closes today, so our house will officially be sold and that is a huge relief.

WARNING: I am a huge Debbie downer from here on out, so skip ahead of you're not feeling like being brought down to my level.

I cannot stop crying today. On the TTC front, I woke up to dark spotting which is almost assuredly a sign that AF is coming and I'm out. My temps are heading at a steady downward angle as well. Still above coverline, but that's not much solace. I'm sure, because this is how things have been going for me, AF will start today because that puts cd3 on thanksgiving and means that I would have to track down a lab that's actually open for testing on thurs.

On top of that I have the added devastation of the loss of my oldest pet. My 16 year old chinchilla, who has moved with me from school to school and from apartments to houses passed away in my arms last night. Consciously, I realize she was a chinchilla, she was old, and she was sick. That doesn't help, however. I know she was in pain the last couple of months but I'm still going to miss her like crazy. She was a gift from my grandmother, who passed away three years ago and was my living reminder of her love.

I'm just an emotional mess today, and I want to curl up in bed and watch a sad movie. Instead, I'm at work.

CS/Q: nope.

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)!
He has this habit of quickly licking his top lip right before he kisses me. It's adorable and I love it.

Edit - I accidentally labeled my rave a rant...

Dilynne · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 8

CD/DPO: 35/15

Timing: -2, +2

Testing: BFN

R/R: If AF would hurry up that would be GREAT. I need CD3 bloodwork and if she comes later than tomorrow I'm not going to be able to get it.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)! I can't think of anything right now. I'm a little slow this morning.

dragonfly87-2 · November 2016

Starla: I am a little confused, are you waiting until 8 days past your next anticipated period or until 8DPO? Sorry, sorry CD8 and wasn't sure.

Dilynne: Sorry for the BFN.

britvahok: You are way ahead of the game! I am going to try to start thanksgiving shopping today.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: CD 16/ 3 DPO

Timing: -4, -1 and +1

Testing: December 3

R/R: I have officially confirmed O for November 19 after a third day of temp rising! I don't know why, but it's super exciting. Especially after dealing with my weird sleep patterns, I am stoked to be figuring out my cycles. If I hadn't temped this first cycle, I would have assumed I had a typical 28 day cycle instead of a 27 day cycle that is looking more likely and been off on O day. So excited to see the cross hairs on my chart and know that we might have a chance this cycle even though timing seemed like it was going to be off! As stressful as it is sometimes, for me, having more information helps with anxiety.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)!

My husband's feet are always cold. So he has to wear socks no matter the temperature around the house and when he goes to sleep. He will even wear socks with sandals (around the house). I drew the line and said no socks and sandals in public. So he sticks with tennis shoes when we go out

Dilynne · November 2016

Off to WTO. Don't follow me!

themrs · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 21/7

Timing: -2, Ox2

Testing: Thanksgiving?

R/R: Just had a busy morning. Went to the doctors to try and get rid of this post nasal drip thing and they just sent me home with antibiotics. Tried that last week at urgent care sooo I don't have high hopes. After that, I went to get my blood work done for a progesterone check. My doctor wrote on my order to go between CD22-24 but everything I read online said 7dpo. So I went today... Not sure if that's what I should've done but that's that.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)!
Something he does that drives me nuts is not closing drawers all the way. They're always still open all the time after he goes in one for something. What the heck?!

@zwink1 so sorry for the awful day and the loss of your pet

Hugss to you!

JulesDP · November 2016

@zwink1 i'm so, so sorry for everything that you're going through

Losing a pet is so tough. Please accept my creepy internet hugs

Sugargirl1019 · November 2016

@Starla My last cycle I had a cyst and it hurt prior to and through the TWW and into AF. it was sharp, more uncomfortable than O pain.

@BertieMeetsGertie Congrats on paying the car off early!! That's awesome!!

@thebookisbetter Welcome!

@zwink1 Hugs! I'm so sorry about your sweet chinchilla. I'd love if you'd post a picture of her, if it will help! That spotting sucks too

I hope it holds off so CD 3 is Black Friday instead.

Month/Cycle: 10 months /2 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 30/6

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

Testing: Thanksgiving because I'm cray

R/R: Like I posted yesterday, I am having so many symptoms that seem magnified. I'm definitely guilty and need the SS police to come stop me.

I work tomorrow, but have Thanksgiving and Black Friday off. I'm so excited to see my siblings when they come into town!

I emailed a podcast producer to see if he would be interested in having me on the show and giving my experiences and story. I haven't heard back yet

Boo!

CS/Q: Temps still up, I normally get a temp jump 7 dpo regardless of ku status so it must be related to progesterone peaking. - interested in seeing if the temp goes higher tomorrow.

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)!
Let's see.. he blows his nose like an elephant and I don't understand why he can't be more silent about it. Idk how he gets so much sound out like an elephant sound but he does! I always tease him about it.

Shan870 · November 2016

Sorry for the BFNs today!

I hope everyone is having an OK week so far! It's almost Turkey Day!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: Good

Testing:This weekend maybe or wait for AF...

R/R: For some reason I have this strong urge to POAS...I'm fighting it though. Don't want to waist money knowing what the outcome will be because it is still too early.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)! My DH likes to hide candy and snacks...do not ask me why because I don't know haha. He is the youngest of three boys so growing up it was what he did so that his older brothers wouldn't take all of his snacks. Well he is still doing the same thing as a grown man that's almost 30 smh. I can be sitting in bed and he will come in with a honey bun or candy...I'm just like "where did that come from" and he'll just smile. Crazy!

Yes 8dpo. Sorry I'm still in WTO mode!

starla · November 2016

@zwink1 I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

@Dilynne Sorry for CD1

@Sugargirl1019 Thanks. I'm starting to think I don't know what O pain feels like.

sparklepony · November 2016

Hugs everyone! The holidays are such an emotional time

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 19

Timing: -3 -2 +1 +2 (damn work trip!)

Testing: 12/1

R/R: rant: DH said he may have to go hunting the day after t-day with a client and his dad. He hates hunting but he is very prone to guilt trips. Rave: everyone at th store (except me, ha) is in a really good mood today even though we are super slammed!

CS/Q: Temp spiked today but looks to be inline with previous cycles. Is anyone else feeling grumpy before Thanksgiving?

GTKY: Tell us about one of your DH/SO's quirks (weird rituals, habits, etc.)!
He has an ironclad morning routine, that isn't exactly the most efficient (he has to dry EVERY inch of himself, can't stand to air dry at all), but he has to do it in the same way everyday before work or his day is ruined.
DH also does the elephant sound! I have told him there is a better, quieter way but he says he doesn't know how.
@Sugargirl1019

kiwi2628 · November 2016

@antoto I am so, so sorry. I was rooting for you this month

@Dilynne sorry for the BFN

@zwink1 I am so sorry about your chichi. Big hugs today

swimsister · November 2016

@Sugargirl1019 @vegetalienne Confession: I am the noisy nose blower of our relationship. It's super embarrassing and if I could figure out another way how I would!!

dragonfly87-2 · November 2016

@Starla: No worries, I was just going to be very impressed if you could hold out for a full 8 days past AF being due!

beachbunnyxo123 · November 2016

@swimsister hey cycle twin! Can you post a pic of your chart? I'm on mobile

wabash15 · November 2016

Lurking from WTO***
@zwink1 I am so sorry for your loss. It doesn't matter that its a chinchilla, she was your companion and part of your life for so long. You have every right to grieve her loss. I hope you can find a lab open on thanksgiving for your blood work. Hugs

swimsister · November 2016

@beachbunnyxo123 Does this link work: My Chart

juliebleu · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 24/ 3

Timing: according to FF -2 and -4

Testing: not anytime soon. It helps that I don't have any tests

R/R: @vegetalienne Yup! I'm getting a case of TTC + holiday blues. This happened last time we were ttc around the holidays. I just can't seem to get excited about seeing family this week- and knowing I'm going to get asked if I'm pregnant... Anyone like ttc this time of year? I do love me some winter time snuggles and what not but in general think it is kinda the worst time for me, emotionally to ttc (but of course with my insurance it is the best time to get pregnant

)

CS/Q: My chart is incomplete (as I switched back to using Lily instead of FF, but added in the important data.

Edit to actually add the chart link...
https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/62ba35

GTKY: he has like 10 orange Duluth tee shirts. They are all exactly the same... his mom gets him 1-2 every year for x-mas. It is all he wears, unless there is a special occasion.

@swimsister I wouldn't read into it one way or another. How old is your thermometer, and could it just need a new battery (not familiar with the brand)?

@thebookisbetter welcome, heres to a short stay!

Sorry for all the bfns and other bad news that happened today. Hoping next cycle goes better for all moving on.

Want a personalized experience?
