First time starting a daily thread, hopefully I'm doing this right! For some reason The Bump keeps crashing my browser today...

GTKY (shamelessly stolen from WTO): If you could live in a book, television show, or a movie as a character (just for one day) what and who would you choose?
Me: 35 | DH: 37
TTC #1 Since: December 2016
Diagnosis 12/2017: Low AMH (0.40), MFI
IVF Cycle #1 in April 2018, BFP 5/7/18! EDD: 1/15/19
Re: TWW Saturday 3/25
CD/DPO: 23/10
Testing: BFN this morning with a huge temp drop. Hoping that AF will hold off at least one more day so I can have a 10 day LP, but feeling pretty down overall.
R/R: Alone in the house today because my husband's at work, so trying to distract myself from ALL THE FEELINGS by staying busy cleaning and organizing. My cat got me up at 5 this morning, though, so a nap might be called for in a little bit.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: This may be a little obscure for non-bookworms, but there's a children's series by Patricia C. Wrede about a princess who lives with a dragon and has various adventures. The first book is called Dealing with Dragons. I'd like to be Princess Cimorene for a day, that seems pretty fun!

Month/Cycle: TTA
CD/DPO: 26/10
R/R: Nothing much going on today. I have a Brazilian appointment scheduled but I'm a little nervous because I know AF should be here any minute now lol I think I'm going to take my chances though... poor esthetician.
CS/Q: Nope. Ready for CD1.
GTKY (shamelessly stolen from WTO): If you could live in a book, television show, or a movie as a character (just for one day) what and who would you choose?
This is a really hard question for me but I think Ariel in Little Mermaid.

Month/Cycle: 7/6, 4/4 AL
CD/DPO: 28/5
R/R: I had my highest temperature ever this morning and my chart is looking pretty so cue the BSC. We're going over my BIL's in a little while to play cards so should be a fun afternoon!
CS/Q: none today
GTKY: Hmm that one is hard! I'm going to think about it and come back.
Month/Cycle:1/1
CD/DPO: 20/6 I think. I'm just going off CM, CP, and symptoms for a while.
Testing: I usually have a 14 day LP, so I'll probably start around Tuesday.
R/R: I've missed the ttgp board!
CS/Q: My FF charts without temps just look weird.
GTKY (shamelessly stolen from WTO): If you could live in a book, television show, or a movie as a character (just for one day) what and who would you choose?
Hmmm I think being a part is the gang on The Big Bang Theory would be fun.
@JJMNO1616 Ugh what is it with these stupid thermometers! Sorry for the temp drop. Fingers crossed for a longer lp!
@TigerCakes Yay for the pretty chart!! Hopefully it's a good sign!
CD/DPO: 23/5 dp trigger
Testing: currently testing out my trigger and will test till af or beta
R/R: rave.... my transfer is still scheduled for Monday! rant: terrified something will go wrong (lining goes bad, embies don't defrost etc) Just getting myself together to make sure I have a few relaxed days after transfer..... making bread, making bone broth, planning to have food for a couple days made in advance.
CS/Q: nope.... actually.... I'm about 4 days into using progesterone and my temp spiked high.... I though progesterone would keep my temps pretty stable. I've never taken it before so who knows. Maybe my own body is also producing more?
GTKY (shamelessly stolen from WTO): If you could live in a book, television show, or a movie as a character (just for one day) what and who would you choose? I grew up loving the whole series of wizard of it books. I'd love to go to oz for a day
CD/DPO: 30/12
Testing: BFN this morning
R/R: I'm ok with the BFN...I can continue my health journey to get my body and mind in a good place. I think I'm going to be picking up a copy of TCOYF for next month though
CS/Q:
GTKY (shamelessly stolen from WTO): If you could live in a book, television show, or a movie as a character (just for one day) what and who would you choose?
ohhh so many and for so many different reasons.
Haha but today, right now, Charlotte York from Sex and the City. She's super pretty, has a sweet apartment and a really amazing husband and children. It sounds like a nice life
Or Daenerys Targaryan, because, duh. She's a bad ass bitch. And she'll rule the Seven kingdoms soon, so there's that.
@JJMNO1616 - Ariel is a good one!
@TigerCakes - fx that good chart continues. I love relaxed saturdays playing cards.
@dragonette505 - hope monday goes 100% smoothly and you have a restful week
@BreezyBee - Charlotte would be a great pick!
@k&elizabeth - hi! welcome back!

CD/DPO: 27/4
Timing: Good (-4, -3, -2, -1, O)
Testing: 10 DPO (my last few luteal phases have been real short, so if I make to 10 days I’ll be thrilled)
R/R: Rave: Had a Junior League membership meeting today, which I’m really excited about. Rant: Our neighbors are planning a horrific expansion onto their home (semi-attached row house) and we now have to decide if we’re going to have antagonistic relationships with them, deal with it, or move. And I want to move and my husband is not getting on board fast enough.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: Downton Abbey, upstairs please!
@Augusta108 Sorry about the BFN and shorter luteal phase, rude way to start your weekend! I hope you got your nap. (And that book sounds charming!)
@JJMNO1616 hope AF holds out a little longer for (for luteal phase and waxing purposes)
@TigerCakes yay for a pretty chart! I know I always treat mind like they hold the secrets to the universe lol
@dragonette505 I’m keeping all my fingers crossed that everything proceeds apace and smoothly for monday! And so smart of you to do some pre-cooking.
@BreezyBee I’m sorry about BFN, but sounds like you’ve got a really great attitude about it! Also, team Daenerys! When we watch I RANT to DH if there’s an episode she’s not in, like why did i just waste an hour of my life, ugh.
@elisek great job with the house cleaning!DS2: Jan. 2016

But DH is being awesome and getting me In N Out, so whatever. Cheeseburger and animal style fries make everything better. I'm gonna drink some rosé after. TREAT YO SELF!
@JJMNO1616 I'm sure estheticians have seen much worse!
@K&Elizabeth welcome back!
@dragonette505 so many fingers & toes crossed for you! Try and do some self care this weekend to help with the anticipation - it must be intense!
@BreezyBee Good on you for keeping a positive attitude! Best to focus on what you CAN do! Sorry about AF though, CD1 is never fun, regardless of how positive you are lol
@kmalls That is an impressive list of accomplishments! Well done!
@KatieEl oh man dealing with shitty neighbors does not sound fun! Hopefully you can get DH on board and GTFO! Also, thanks for adding timing into your post, I was sad the OP forgot, because I'm pretty proud of our efforts this month too hahaha
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 20/2
Timing:-2, -1, O, +1
Testing: I'm having a hard time deciding what to do here. I want to wait for DH to get back from work (would be WAAY past AF's due day) but the ILs are coming to visit and will arrive before DH, and I know they will expect me to have wine with dinner and such... So I'll want to know... But I dont trust myself to hide it from them if I do have a BFP... (trying to have a positive attitude over here lol)
R/R: Rant:ugh terrible sleep between nights today again... I never used to have this problem!
CS/Q: If I add a 'high' temp tomorrow, it gives me CH for CD18, feel free to share your thoughts!
My Ovulation Chart
GTKY (shamelessly stolen from WTO): If you could live in a book, television show, or a movie as a character (just for one day) what and who would you choose? I vote Belle from B&TB but AFTER the spell is broken haha
if you really don't trust yourself around your ILs and you're trying to wait for YH to get back, I say don't test, dont stress, try to put it out of your mind and just have a darn glass of wine! Lol Not going to hurt anything so early if you were to go on to turn a test, and even if you're camp, "drink till it's pink," it's not going to be pink if you don't test, now is it!?

@KatieEl Hope AF is still holding out for you.
@kmalls @elisek Great productivity today!
@BreezyBee Sorry about the BFN but glad to hear you are in a generally positive mind frame about it.
@dragonette505 So happy to hear that your transfer is still on schedule! Progesterone is what makes everyone's temps spike during the TWW so that's exactly what it should be doing.
@K&elizabeth Welcome back!
@TigerCakes Yay for high temps!!
DH and I ended up going to an art festival today and MAN did I get sunburned! Going to have to aloe up tonight. Also, really excited to say I haven't had any spotting today! This is the longest I have gone in my LP without spotting since going off BC.

@Augusta108: I’m sorry. Ugh. I’m also working on getting a longer LP. It’s one of the only good things about getting AF… if she’s later now, at least I feel like something good is happening…
JJMNO1616 Amy Schumer has a great skit about what women giving Brazilians think of their clients lol.
TigerCakes That would make me BSC also! You are not alone!
@dragonette505 Yay! Glad it is still going on Monday!
BreezyBee I like your attitude… I think that way too (sometimes it is easier than others). I do think I am going to get that book too!
KatieEl With you on wanting a longer LP! Hope you get it!
kvacmak My chart looks a lot like yours! FF did the exact same thing to me you are saying—had CHs earlier and the dip was O day but moved it to the day after (CD18 for you) once I had entered another high temp. Who knows!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 22/6 (I think)
Testing: Ugh… I’m hoping not at all or not until April 4th when AF is due.
R/R: Rant: Insomnia. Rave: Weather!
CS/Q: Wondering about the implantation dip; seems specious to me!
GTKY (shamelessly stolen from WTO): Right now? Whomever got to make out with Joe Manganiello in True Blood. Somedays I think Lord Henry from The Picture of Dorian Gray. Terrible but always witty!
