Re: TWW Sunday funday
CD/DPO: 20/5
Timing: good -1, O
Testing: I probably won't even get a chance.
R/R: I need help. See cs!
CS/Q: okay help. My chart is always messed up and always looks like Rocky Mountains! I have O'd on cd20 for the last 6 months. I had issues with my LP being too short so I started b6. It lengthened my LP from 8 days to 12 days but didn't change my O day. I have gotten a positive opk around cd 14 a few times before and have not O'd then get another positive around cd 19 and confirm O on cd20. This time same thing but temp is up on cd 20 and not down like usual. Any insight? Do you think FF is right or have I not O'd yet?
GTKY:
1. Pay off all debts
2. Pay off all of my and dh's immediate family's debts
3. Epic vacation for all brothers, sisters and their families. I guess our parents can come too.

CD/DPO: 28/12
Timing: -4, -1
Testing: BFN this morning
R/R: well, the BFN on 10DPO I could rationalize. The one today is a a reality check. No birthday present for DH and me. I am leaving for Disney world on Tuesday which is going to be so much fun... with my mom and BFF and her mom (who is my mom's bff). We have amazing reservations and bow I can eat and drink whatever I please and go on all the coasters. BUT that kind of thinking is just no longer working at month 8. It got me through the first few cycles, but especially now after *TW* last month'so CP where I reimagined the whole trip in my head... now I am just resenting (though of course imbibing) each glass of wine and don't even want to go on coasters. Ugh. Sorry guys. Pity party table for one.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: If you won a ridiculous amount of money (like 300 million) what would be the top 3 things you would do with it?
1. Square away all DH student loans
2. Buy property for the whole family. Maybe all beach houses for siblings, DH family so we had a place to all be together
3. Set myself up with a passion project... maybe a free dance or sports programs for children with special needs (they can be so expensive!) so I can quit my job and just do that all day

1. Pay off all of DH's and Is debt, and gift our siblings, parents, and DH's ex-wife each a lump sum equivalent to the highest current debt by one person/couple (mortgage, student loans, whatever).
2. Buy/Build our dream home.
3. Put the rest into some sort of savings and not touch it for at least a year so we have plenty of time to educate ourselves and decide what we really want to do with it in terms of charitable donations, monthly spending, additional private gifts, etc.

BFP #2 6/3/2020
*Trigger Warning*
@brooklyngirl6 It's impossible to tell with the open circle temps, but if CD15 isn't it, CD17 or CD18 is. Fortunately you hit CD17 too!
@WillRunForWine21 Hugs. I wish I could tell you it gets better, but it doesn't. All those things you used to reassure yourself at first? Shrug.
@Flashley Sorry for BFN
@BertiemeetsGertie Eeeeek yay! I would be the same way if my temp ever went about 98!!
Month/Cycle: 9/10
CD/DPO: CD24/8dpo
Timing: EOD incl. -1
Testing: nope
R/R: I think we are going to go out to brunch today. There's a great place near our apartment that just started doing brunch, and it's wonderful. They also do an amaaaaazing mimosa special, but I'm trying not to drink so much for egg quality, and unlimited mimosas for $12 does not seem like a good choice.
CS/Q: Honestly I just want my period to start already so we can get to our medicated cycle. I have never wished for my period to start early before, but I sure am now.
GTKY:
1. Pay off all my student loans
2. When we move this summer, we'd buy instead of rent
3. Do IVF

@WillRunForWine21 Sorry about the bfn. Hugs to you and I know exactly what you mean. At this point I'd give up all the wine, sushi and coffe in the world to have a baby so it really doesn't cheer me up much. I hope on your trip though you can really relax and have some fun.
Sorry for the bfn @FLAshley. Hugs to you
@BertieMeetsGertie Your chart looks really good. I would be super excited too. FX for you!
@adirat Have fun at brunch. I wanted to go to brunch today but DH went to play basketball this morning instead. I was definitely planning on having a couple mimosas myself.
Month/Cycle:12/13
CD/DPO:19/5
Timing:-4 to +1
Testing: no plan yet
R/R: Nothing much today. Should be a quiet day at home. DH and I stayed up until 3:30 binging a Netflix show last night. Will probably finish today. Hopefully wont be up so late though because he is off tomorrow for Presidents' Day but I am not.
CS/Q:nope
GTKY: If you won a ridiculous amount of money (like 300 million) what would be the top 3 things you would do with it?
- pay off all debt like mortgage, cars, credit cars
- gift a portion to family and charity
- travel the world
adirat Ugh, that's a tough decision to make. Unlimited mimosas for so cheap...would be very hard to resist.
@BertieMeetsGertie Even though 9dpo is early, FX that the rise above 98 is a great sign!!!
FLAshley Sorry for the BFN
@WillRunForWine21 Sorry for the BFN and that you are going through a rough time. I have no real helpful words of advice, but hugs. I hope Disney is a fun time.
Brooklyngirl6 Sorry, I am not much help on the chart interpretation. But timing looks like it would be good with either O date!

Timing: -5, -2, -1
Testing: ETA: Update: I got to a 3.5 hour hold and tested: BFFN, looks like AF will be here tomorrow and cycle 6 will begin.
R/R:
Rave: We had fun last night going out to BBQ and playing board games with friends. It was something we hadn't done in a while. My friend (who has a 11 month old) made a comment about "when you are pregnant, yada yada" and I handled it surprisingly well. Mentally, I am trying to work through the uncertainty of this TTC journey and trying to not go too far the doom and gloom path.
Rant: I just woke a little bit ago and I am going to try to stay positive today. Might feel differently after testing, but just going to stick with positivity for the moment.
CS/Q: ETA: not relevant, BFFN
GTKY: If you won a ridiculous amount of money (like 300 million) what would be the top 3 things you would do with it?
1. Invest $250 million and pull off about 5-10% annually to donate to charities, help family and support unique projects
2. Pay off all of our debts and immediate families
3. Endow scholarships at the colleges that DH and I attended for low income, first generation, minority students (we were both recipient of those kind of scholarships)
Also FX to you whether you decide to test today or wait it out.
CD/DPO: AF arrived today
Timing: doesn't matter
Testing: confession: I tested yesterday for drinking purposes. BFN. I even googled my internet cheapie tests and convinced myself to use one of my expensive FR tests. Another BFN. Dipped another test this morning literally seconds before AF arrived.
R/R: guys, we're shifting to NTNP. I need a break, and literally everyone I know who has been KU says to stop trying so hard. I figure why not at this point. DH will still do a repeat SA in March or April, but I'm going to focus on non TTC things like getting back into riding (horses) and fitness.
I can't kid myself, I'll still be around love titting and commenting cuz you guys are just the best and I'm sure I couldn't stay away.
FX for my Pee Pact ladies @Dilynne @dragonfly87 !
@FLAshley sorry for the BFN girl

I am just wondering, when did some of you start (i.e., cycle/month) to have some tests done? Like SAs, blood work etc? I am still trying to stay optimistic, but also developing a mental timeline of what I would do next if we get to a certain cycle. I don't know if I could wait until the 1 year mark without some kind of action plan.

It's so gorgeous out here today!

Testing: Wednesday
R/R: I'm having a hard time staying in my hopeful bubble. The urge to POAS is getting strong but the fear or seeing a BFN has kept me from giving in. Today is a hard TTC day. I want time to stop I don't want to be at the end of my TTC journey, but time keeps marching forward. TW*** I was already a bit emotional this morning then at church I saw a member who is now obviously pregnant, I did not know she was pregnant. It pushed me over the edge. I barely held it together getting out of church and then ugly cried all the way home. End TW. Oh and both kiddos have been sick all weekend.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: If you won a ridiculous amount of money (like 300 million) what would be the top 3 things you would do with it? pay off all debts, put some in savings, and pick charities to give the rest to
@brooklyngirl6 I do think you O'd but I could be CD 15 or17....
@WillRunForWine21 @FLAshley @dragonfly87 @lund @dilynneso sorry for the BFN
@BertieMeetsGertie thats a pretty chart
@adirat that's how I felt last cycle. enjoy the mimosa!
@jess0211 glad you survived and go here now.
@lund girl do what you have to for your sanity. we're here for you. hugs
@dragonfly87 I think after the 6th month it doesn't hurt to ask for some of the simple things like blood work and an SA.
I'm sending hugs, all the wine and all the chocolate out to all you ladies.

@jess0211 Welcome to TWW!
@dragonfly87 There is no reason to see an RE sooner than a year if you are under 35 unless you think something is wrong. I know you thought something was concerning about your thyroid, right? Get that checked out with your PCP/endocrinologist first. There is no reason to see an RE when you have a separate issue being investigated -- all they're going to tell you is to wait until your thyroid is sorted and try TTC after that. Going prematurely is a waste of your time/money and is a waste of the RE's time for people who really need to see him or her.
@wabash15 big hugs girl. I'm so hoping this is it for you!
@dragonfly87 I don't think it hurts to start testing early. Part of me wishes we had started it earlier even though I'm only 29. We're at 14 months and still no explanation for why we can get pregnant.
@wabash15 I know how you feel. The past week it seems like every little thing can set me off emotionally and I'm not an emotional person. Staying hopeful is not easy.
@WillRunForWine21 we went to Disney last June and I kept thinking I was going to be pregnant on the trip. Obviously that didn't happen but at least I got to go on all the rides. Have a wonderful time on your trip!

Testing: if AF is late
R/R: found out last night that if I end up needing IVF apparently since I work for the hospital system I get it half price!! Even if we needed it we probably wouldn't have been able to do it because of finances but with the price cut it may be more of a reality.
CS/Q: temp dropped a bit today so I'm not hopeful anymore.
GTKY: If you won a ridiculous amount of money (like 300 million) what would be the top 3 things you would do with it? Pay off my house and all debt, pay off my family's debt, buy a car (we only have one now)

R/R: I can't tell if I'm being SUPER moody or if my husband is being an asshat. I've cried like 4 times this weekend cos he keeps using the wrong "tone" with me. He's writing a big paper for school and I'm symptom spotting, natch.
I did pre-order all my live plants and picked out my seeds for my garden today!
CS/Q: Nothin' new here. Still hanging out around 98 F.
GTKY: Of course I'd pay all the debt and buy a dream house somewhere. Then, I dunno, try to figure out the best way to make some good in the world out of it.

CD/DPO: 18, 5 ish
Timing: EOD
Testing: Not until AF is late
R/R: I have my fasting blood test tomorrow to check for diabetes. I'm not sure what that would mean for us TTC. From what I've read so far it makes TTC difficult and for a risky pregnancy. Lately I've been feeling drawn to adopting, maybe that's why (God's plan and all that, even though I'm not really religious). I'm not against IF treatment or anything but I don't think it's something I would do. Of course that's a decision for me to make with DH, not just by myself. I'm not scared about the impending results though. Of course I very well could be diabetes free but then I think I'll be searching for some other reason as to why I'm not KTFU yet haha.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Pay off debts and my parents' debts and retire my parents and inlaws. Travel a lot. Start community garden programs for inner city areas.
