Re: TWW Thursday!
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 23ish
Timing: ED
Testing: Tryinggg to hold out
R/R: Another snow storm. I haven't worked all week due to the snow (approximately 100cm at this point) and I'm getting SO backed up. It sucks and I'm over it.
CS/Q: My doctor used lube yesterday at my pap, but because I have already Od it wouldn't effect anything, right ?
GTKY: Have you ever taken a Meyer's Brigg test? What type are you?
I have never heard of this until now. We have a colours test in Canada. We always had to take it at the nursing home I worked at.

CD/DPO: 27/11
Timing: FF said high. I think it lied.
Testing: Just did. BFN
R/R: Kindve bummed. My temp dropped this morning. It's still pretty high above coverline but it still stings.
CS/Q:
GTKY: I haven't taken that test. I've done the color tests though. If I have a few minutes at work I might try to see if I can find one online today.
@FLAshley sorry about all the snow. Also I would think you would be fine with the lube since it's after O. Also the lubes they use at the docs office, although probably not 'sperm friendly' like preseed, are not spermicidal either.
Sorry for the bfn @Redpuma119. Hugs to you and FX it's just too early still.
Month/Cycle: 12/13
CD/DPO: 16/3
Timing:-3,-2,-1,0, +1, +2 (I'm leaving it in cause I don't agree with FFs O date)
Testing: nope
R/R:Home today but feeling under the weather. Gonna try finish my 'homework' early so I can relax the rest of the day. FF gave me CH today for CD13 but I'm pretty sure O was CD14. I'll just go with it for now
CS/Q:
GTKY: Have you ever taken a Meyer's Brigg test? What type are you? No I never have but looks interesting. I may do it later and update with results. - I got I(50%) S(1%) T(34%) J(50%). Definitely more of an introvert.
*edited to answer question and add results
@Redpuma119 so sorry for the bfn
@safire3 hope you feel better!
Month/Cycle: 13/13 2AL
CD/DPO: 28/14
Timing: EOD
Testing: tomorrow!
R/R: thankful that it's Thursday which means Friday is tomorrow!! I've been swamped at work the past two days and I'm hoping today and tomorrow go more smoothly!!!
CS/Q: none
GTKY: Have you ever taken a Meyer's Brigg test? What type are you?
I have but I forget!!
Month/Cycle: 2/2 of actively trying
CD/DPO: 20/3
Timing: -4 (let's pretend they're super-sperm and it counts!),-3, -2, O
Testing: I drove myself crazy by beginning to test around "implantation" last cycle, so I'll try to hold off longer this time.
R/R: I already started symptom spotting
I was a hypochondriac as a kid and this tendency is totally feeding my imagination while TTC. I had a bizarre dizzy spell at work (2dpo, mind you), almost like I was on a roller coaster – my neck got hot and tingly, my face flushed. And my first thought was "pregnant?"
CS/Q: Felt weirdly proud to be awarded crosshairs this morning.
GTKY: Have you ever taken a Meyer's Brigg test? What type are you?
INFJ – Introvert/Intuitive/Feeling/Judging (I just took it again and always fall borderline between Judging and Perceiving). I'm going to edit to broaden the question above, since maybe the test is a little unheard-of.
@beachbunnyxo123 Hoping your two days fly by. I work Saturday so I can clear up some over flow. I shouldn't complain - I have been off for three days !!!

@beachbunnyxo123 I hear ya on the almost being Friday comment, I am so ready for it!
@FLAshley Lube at pap post O is not a concern.
safire3 Just wanted to say, that is one impressive HIO schedule. I get pumped when we can pull off two days in a row, but wow, nice job!!
Redpuma119 Sorry for the BFN
Month/Cycle: 5/5 3TTCAL
CD/DPO: CD 22 / 11DPO
Timing: -5, -2 and -1
Testing: Probably Sunday (14DPO)
R/R:
Rant: I was really tired last night and went to bed at 10pm. My body rewarded me...by waking up at 4:40am and not falling back asleep. I laid in bed and didn't get up for another hour and then temped at my usual time. I doubt it's accurate, but it's in the normal range, so I just plugged it in.
When I arrived to work today, I decided to check my heart rate again. On Monday, I had my heart rate checked at the doctor and it was 80 bpm. Yesterday, it was 99-100 bpm. This morning, it was 88-92 bpm. It probably means nothing, but the little machine that checks it is nifty, so it's fun to see what it is.
CS/Q: Nothing much going on here.
GTKY: Have you ever taken a Meyer's Brigg test? What type are you? If no, do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?
Yes, I have done it multiple times in college, a leadership program and at work. I am
I --Introvert
S--Sensing
T--Thinking
J--Judging

Testing: tomorrow or sat
R/R: getting closer to Friday! It's another crazy work week. Sigh. Had a headache most of the day yesterday which seems to be gone this morning so yay for that!
CS/Q: none
GTKY: Have you ever taken a Meyer's Brigg test? What type are you? If no, do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?
Pretty sure I was istj. I did the DiSC recently and I was CD (compliance, dominant). Basically an introvert and a rule follower but I still like being in charge
@beachbunnyxo123 GL tomorrow!!!!!
@Redpuma119 sorry about the bfn
@FLAshley yikes! That's a lot of snow!

R/R: I have my second acupuncture session this afternoon so I'm looking forward to that! Oh, and I downloaded a meditation app last night called insight timer I'm excited to check it out!
CS/Q:
GTKY: Have you ever taken a Meyer's Brigg test? What type are you? If no, do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?
I would say I'm more of an introvert but I am much more extroverted than I used to be! I always struggled with self-confidence but I think I'm in a better place now.

Testing: Sunday (2/19) Pee Pact with @Dilynne & @dragonfly87 !
R/R: You guys, the BSC is strong this cycle. Just a bunch of little differences from my past cycles, which is stupid because I've had just about all possible variances in my cycles and it has meant jack shit (and couldn't possibly be due to changes in my diet *eyeroll*). It needs to stop because I'm going to be so disappointed when AF shows up.
I've been looking at weekend getaways for DH and I, and the Bacon and Beer Festival is coming in up Fargo. Part of me wants to temp fate and buy tickets now, but the logical side of me says to wait until Sunday to buy tickets...
CS/Q: ugh, no.
GTKY: Have you ever taken a Meyer's Brigg test? What type are you? If no, do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert?

I have never taken this test but I feel like it would be kind of fun! I'd like to think I'm and introvert, but I'm a complete extrovert. I basically never stop talking and I love getting to know people.
@Redpuma119 Sorry about the BFN
@FLAshley I can't even imagine having to deal with that much snow. I don't know how you do it! Is it always fun for a while and then gets super tiresome? We're dealing with a lot of rain where I live and that's driving me crazy!
@Redpuma119 ugh, so sorry for the BFN.
@safire3 whoa, I'm super impressed by all the BD! I think I'd break my DH if we did that...
@beachbunnyxo123 FX so hard for you tomorrow! I legit squealed a little when I saw that you're testing tomorrow.
@dragonfly87 Yay Sunday Pee Pact!
@cactusblossum we're timing-twinsies! Is that creepy of me to notice? Lol. If you'd like to hold off an extra day and join our Sunday Pee Pact you're more than welcome!
@BertieMeetsGertie enjoy your acupuncture appointment! I've only had it done once, but really enjoyed it.

For those of you using the advanced OPKs, why do you use them over the wondfo's? For those of you who have used the wondfos and switched, why? Are they better or worse in your opinion? How much do you spend a month on them? Does FF agree with you? Does any one have one of those saliva opk checkers?
Thanks in advance
@Redpuma119 I have used both the advanced OPKs and Wondfo. I was having some issues pinpointing O with Wondofs as one month I had positive wondfos for DAYS. I found it stressful so I switched to advanced OPKs. Plus the wondfos also stressed DH out, they weren't "clear" enough for him. My secondary symptoms (CM etc.) seem to correlate well with the advanced OPKs. This month I did stop using them after flashing smiley simply because I ran out and DH had surgery so it seemed silly to spend the money. I generally purchase them on amazon as they are cheaper than in the drug store. Last month I used Wondfos for a few days first until they started getting darker then switched over to advanced OPKs. Hope that helps!! They are more expensive but less stressful in my opinion.
@Dilynne Happy Birthday!

@LuND tempting, ill see if I can be strong. I bet I cave on Saturday tho.
Interesting that so many of us are istj. I wonder and suspect that that's a really common one for women... Especially detailed oriented women who scientifically monitor their cycles and BDing
@LuND seriously loling at the thought of you breaking YH! Btw I'm right there with you with the BSC. I feel like at this point I've had every possible pregnancy symptom and somehow never been pregnant.
@dragonfly87 DH was very motivated this cycle due to a bet. He insisted on every day. I actually wanted to try EOD this month since ED didn't work last cycle. Also I just got a smart watch and I'm constantly checking my HR as well. I'm really curious to see if there will be a difference between pre and post-O.
@wabash15 I really hope you guys can find a way to make the budget work.

@LuND Girl, I am with ya on the BSC. DF said maybe it's happening this morning. I just put my hand up and said don't. Do not feed my crazy anymore.

@wabash15 I'm so sorry about your budgeting issues. DH and I just bought our first house two years ago and had such a hard time adjusting our budget since we moved to a different state and cost of living. If we had to do infertility treatments I don't think there would be a way for us to afford it without putting ourselves into tremendous amounts of debt. I hope you and YH are able to figure out a solution to your problem. Money sucks.

CD/DPO: 25/10
Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0, +1
Testing: if AF is late
R/R: the stress of the past year of TTC plus working nights has caused me to gain five pounds. I've upped my exercise but I was sick of feeling bad about myself whenever I got dressed in the morning. I went shopping today and bought myself new jeans and some looser fitting shirts that don't make me depressed when I wear them. Hopefully I'll lose the weight but I refuse to feel bad about myself in the meanwhile!!
CS/Q: had a dip in temp on 7dpo and it is causing the BSC to start thinking it must be implantation. I need to stop getting my hopes up.
GTKY: Have you ever taken a Meyer's Brigg test? What type are you? If no, do you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert? I did once but all I remember of it was I'm more introverted.

@wabash15 this is sad news, I am sorry. I hope that you guys tackle this hurdle.
@Redpuma119 I liked the CBADs very much. I used them the first 7 cycles and this one I did the CBAD with the wondfos for comparison. They were in agreememt. I want to make the switch because the CBAD are so expensive and they don't work for 48 hours once you have a solid smiley so I wanted to know how long the surge was lasting.
