Re: TWW Saturday
Month/Cycle: 6
CD/DPO: 30/10
Timing: high
Testing: today bfn
R/R: this is the longest my LP has been in months so clearly the b6 is working! Hopefully it was too early. ::trigger warning:: my last BFP with DS didn't come until 11dpo- I got a bfn on 10dpo as well. ::end trigger warning::
CS/Q: Nada
GTKY: Root beer BBQ wings. Yum.
CD/DPO: 31/12
Timing: -1, 0
Testing: BFN this morning
R/R: don't know why I even tested. When I got up this morning, I was spotting so I expected a bfn. This one hit me really hard. I'm not a big crier, but I shed some tears over this one. DH was sweet though. I guess the only silver lining is that I didn't start spotting at 10dpo like I have for the last however many cycles. It held off until 12dpo. Looking forward to getting my drink on later!
CS/Q: not really a question, but I guess I'm looking forward to getting my CD3 bloodwork early next week.

Welcome to Saturday!
Month/Cycle: 1/1 (ttc, but have been ntnp for 6+ months)
CD/DPO: CD 20 / something around 9-10 DPO but just a guess
Timing: Either really good or way off the mark
Testing: I might cave and test tomorrow... I'm so bad at waiting
R/R: I am both loving and hating my Saturday. It's dark and cold, there was some snow/rain (sleet) mixture last night. Woke up to the hills in the distance covered in dusting of snow. Was so pretty! DH isn't here, so I feel a bit like a bachlorette just making an absolute mess and not getting out of my PJ's. I'll do a quick clean up before he's due home tonight

Buffalo wings!!! Ah, those were the days. (I'm originally from Buffalo)
@brooklyngirl6 Sounds like it's a win either way- either LP has gotten longer or it's not your LP at all. Fx for the latter
@bertiemeetsgertie I'm so sorry for BFN. Drinking is a good consolation prize.
Month/Cycle: 18/13
CD/DPO: 23/9
Timing: IUI
Testing: Tuesday. I hope I can hold out.
R/R: I've had really dull cramping off and on the last couple days and it's upsetting me because it's my normal at this point so I'm not feeling good about my chances. However, of course FF has given me beaucoup points for the cramping so that's messing with my mind even more.
Rave: DH is taking me to a ofancy dinner tonight since we have to miss v day and our dating anniversary (7 years!) is monday. All the steak
CS/Q: nope

So many. I will link to my favorite pasta salad, it's fantastic.
https://allrecipes.com/recipe/81108/classic-macaroni-salad/
The nice thing is you can sub the veggies you like for the ones in the recipe. I love chopped red onion so I use that.
Month/Cycle: 12/13
CD/DPO: 25/10
Timing: -3,-2,-1,0,+1
Testing:BFN this morning. 12 day LP so won't test again unless really late
R/R: BFN this morning really did me in. I was excited because my chart looked good and this was probably our best timing ever. Also trying to be optimistic as DH wants me to be but the let down is just too hard. Luckily he was out when I tested so I could cry in peace without all his reassurances. Sometimes that just makes me feel worse. I know how much he wants a baby too and he tried so hard this month. Time to come to terms with the fact that this is not going to happen without help. If anyone has recommendations for South Florida fertility clinics I would appreciate it
CS/Q: I hate my chart right now so nope.
GTKY: Give me your favorite tailgate food. Bonus for recipes! Never tailgated, can't really think right now, sorry to be a party pooper.
@Brooklyngirl6 Sorry for the bfn. Happy that your LP is getting longer though!
@BertieMeetsGertie Sorry for the bfn. I'm right there with you. Hope everything goes well with your blood work!
@bluejeanbabi05 have a great time at your dinner!!

@BertieMeetsGertie sorry about BFN girl hugs! I also had a littlr crying moment this morning after BFN. So many hugs.
@bluejeanbabi05 ahh those FF pts mess with my head!
@safire3 sorry for BFN. So many BFNs here today.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 27/11
Timing: good
Testing: BFN this morning
R/R: Dear Diary post...
My BFN this morning hit me hard. There was a small part of me that eas convinced, up until yesterday, this was our cycle. I think it's because I turn 35 in a couple of weeks and everyone has always made comments to me about how long I have waited and I am getting so "old" and 35 is that "worrisome" age. Blah. And next month will be pointless bc FW is week of DHs surgery. Here is a cute kitty, forgive my dear diary BS.
CS/Q: nothing.
GTKY: Give me your favorite tailgate food. Bonus for recipes!
Taco dip!
And the other stuff...I hear you. I'm just behind you in age and I feel a bit "in a rush" to find out if I need outside help or not. But also to keep in mind that 11 dpo is still early as well and doesn't mean a bfn for the cycle.
Month/Cycle: 1/1 (been hardcore lurking this month as my partner and I tried to make a baby for the first time). Thanks for all your wisdom, ladies!
CD/DPO: 31/13(?)
Timing: I tried to use CM + what my period charting app (clue) said to figure out ovulation. By my amateur estimates: -5,-2,-1,O,+1 and some other times outside of the window for good measure. I'll start taking temps next cycle.
Testing: I took one very optimistic test at ?8dpo when I started spotting in a VERY light way. This went on for daaaaays, and never happens to me, so was totally messing with my mind (is it implantation bleeding???? I'm totally preg! You know the drill). I managed to wait a couple of days and then took a test on 11dpo (BFN), and then again on 12dpo (BFN) cos, yanno, the first response tests aren't reliable anymore
There goes $20.
Now I'm just expecting my period to start any minute for real. But if it doesn't, I'll test again on Monday maybe.
R/R: I've been using my imaginary pregnancy as a kind of salve on the surplus of terrifying news these past few weeks, as well as the (peaceful) death of my grandfather. But now I'm just feeling pretty bummed all over.
CS/Q: I think this means something about stalking charts and/or questions. Do any of you have an opinion about organic PNVs? trying to avoid pesticides generally, but haven't really researched what it all means in this dept and just randomly picked one ($$$) when I was in a rush. Does it matter?
GTKY: Give me your favorite tailgate food. Bonus for recipes!
I love variations on cauliflower wings.

Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 27/11
Timing: -3,-1,+1
Testing: almost caved this morning... 2/1 if AF isn't already here
R/R: Was wide awake at 4:45 this morning and couldn't fall back asleep. The good news is that I've been pretty productive so far. I went to Home Depot and then got our monthly Costco run taken care of.
CS/Q: --
GTKY: Anything deep fried or cheese filled, please!
So many bffns (extra f is on purpose) today. I don't like it one bit. Hugs to you all
@jess0211 So sorry for the bfn
Please throat punch the next person who has the balls to comment on your age in regards to your fertility. Double points if it's a man.
@BertieMeetsGertie nooooo! I thought for sure that this was your month! I'm so sorry my friend

@bluejeanbabi05 Hope you have a great anniversary dinner!
Month/Cycle: TTA
CD/DPO: 24/7
R/R: Apparently one of my neighbors decided they were not ready for the party to end after getting home at 4am. I was wide awake for about an hour and then missed my 6:30 temping.
CS/Q: Nope

Everyone I know LOVES this salsa recipe. Its always requested that I make it for get togethers so I hope someone here can enjoy it too!
1)Roma Tomatoes chopped (depending on how many people I normally use about 4 for just my husband and I).
2)Feta Cheese
3)Red onion chopped
4) Avacado cut into cubes
5)Garlic
6)Cilantro (fresh or dry but I prefer fresh)
7) Olive Oil
8) Apple Cider vinager
I typically eyeball most of the ingredients depending on what I like (for example I like garlic so typically use at least two cloves). The ingredient that really makes the recipe though is the Apple Cider vinager.
@Brooklyngirl6 @BertieMeetsGertie @safire3 @jess0211 ugh, I'm so sorry for the BFNs, ladies. Huge *hugs*
@bluejeanbabi05 enjoy your fancy dinner!! I hate those stupid pregnancy points. I fall for them all the time.

@jess0211 I know exactly what you mean. I get pressured by friends, family and colleges all the time. As if it's just up to us to just snap our fingers and make it happen. Sorry for the bfn and hugs to you.
*edited because bump ate half my post
But I took a couple NSAIDs for these dang cramps and my partner is making me a bloody maria, so things could be worse. Best of luck to all of you! If you're still around next month, maybe I can get to know y'all a little better.

Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 24/ 10? I think I O'd on the 18th, but possibly the 19th. didn't closely track this cycle.
Timing: If I am right about the 18th -5 & 0. DH schedule was not TTC friendly with my schedule this month.
Testing: Tested early this morning BFN knew I shouldn't have. AF should start 31st or 1st.
R/R:
CS/Q:
GTKY: Give me your favorite tailgate food. Bonus for recipes! I absolutely love buffalo chicken dip. Super quick and easy to make for anything. I really do not measure anything. Small can of chicken, 1 block of cream cheese, roughly half cup to a cup of cheddar cheese (or Mozz depends on your choice) 1/4-1/3 cup ranch. And buffalo sauce- as much as you think looks & tastes good.
throw chicken into a saucepan on the stove, add the block of cream cheese. Melt. Add cheese. Melt. Add ranch and Buffalo. Mix. put in a casserole dish, bake at 350 for 15-20mins.

We don't watch sports at our house. But if we did it would be wings.
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 23/10 or so (NTNP, lots of EWCM on CD 13)
Timing: ED/EOD
Testing: between CD 28-32 after no AF
R/R: I came down with a super bad cold Friday night but now it's lightened up. I took a zzzquil last night and slept for 11 hours. I still have a bit of congestion but I don't feel miserable and that's what knocks me out. I hope it's actually getting better. I've had some symptoms that get me thinking about a BFP but then I remember PMS symptoms are pretty much the same. I don't have horrible boobs pain yet and I always get that before AF. I just have light pinchy cramps, increased appetite, and more acne but those are AF symptoms too.
