jenotontx · May 2017

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 23/9

Timing: -5 -4 -3 -2 0

Testing: Friday if I can resist the urge.

R/R: Had my highest temp this morning ever and it made me really hopful for a split second before I realized my room was a million degrees and I couldn't breath out of my nose. So the combo of my room being super hot and me being sick makes me think the temp is off. If I test before Friday I may do it tomorrow morning because I would normally begin spotting sometime tomorrow. At least then if AF does start to show its ugly head I will kind of expect it.

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: Name something you bought that turned out to be a really good investment.
I bought this leather BCBG jacket when I was in college (when I really didn't have the money for it) but I have continued to wear it to this day. It's such a great quality jacket and I'm so happy I splurged on it even though at the time it was a fairly irresponsible decision.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 21/6

Timing: -5, -1, 0, 1

Testing: Saturday maybe?

R/R: Big work party today! I'm excited, it's been a lot of work planning this thing and I think it's gonna be awesome.

CS/Q: I was crampy yesterday. Not sure what that means and trying not to read into it (that part is not going well).

GTKY: Name something you bought that turned out to be a really good investment. My house. We bought at the peak of the recession so it has appreciated pretty well. Trying to decide when to sell and move has been tough.

shortstack930 · May 2017

Month/Cycle: 17/17

CD/DPO: 28/13 or 14

Timing: don't know

Testing: BFN yesterday

R/R: had our first RE appointment yesterday so just waiting for AF now so we can start our first medicated IUI cycle.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Name something you bought that turned out to be a really good investment. I bought a pair of black pumps for $20 at Payless about 7 years ago and they're still in excellent condition! They're my go to for weddings.

bswishe4 · May 2017

Month/Cycle: 16/14

CD/DPO:16/3

Timing: 0

Testing: No way. At least not until I am late

R/R: I am thankful this is the busiest month of the year for me may15-June15 so it should help keep my mind busy during the wait!

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: Name something you bought that turned out to be a really good investment. My SUV. I LOVE it. at this point it is getting pretty high on miles but it has been amazing. I travel a lot for work so I am hard on vehicles but I have nothing but good things to say about it.

labgrand2012 · May 2017

Month/Cycle: 8

CD/DPO: 21/6

Timing: -3, -2, -1, O, +1

Testing: trying to hold out until Monday.

R/R: So my DH and I have an agreement that I do the laundry and he does the dishes. Well I have about 6 loads of laundry that is just piled on our guest bed and needs to be folded/put away. I dont want to do it...My mothers helps with the dishes so I feel like he should help me with laundry

CS/Q:

GTKY: Name something you bought that turned out to be a really good investment.
Our first house. We bought during the recession and sold it last year for a really nice profit that we used to put into our dream home. We did not have a down payment or any plans to buy, but went out one day to look at some houses just for fun on a cold winter day and fell in love with one. They made a great deal for us and we were able to a FHA loan. Not at all how we thought we would buy a house (not all prepared) but it worked out so great! And I think my Louis Vuitton purse was a great investment

It is the perfect size where I can use it to travel and carry so much but not too big that I cannot use it for everyday use. And it has held up amazingly. I tell my DH this all the time and he just rolls his eyes.

icecubeinthedesert · May 2017

Might need to P&G this morning, but I'll try to find some time to come back later.

Month/Cycle: 6/5 (1 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 29/9

Timing: -3, -1, +1

Testing: BFN this morning, but I tested early so shame in me

R/R: lots of meetings today. But at least I get a free lunch at a seminar about stress!

CS/Q: temp is still high.

GTKY: I'll go with my house too. We just got it last year, and it needed a lot of cosmetic upgrades (do you all remember me talking about the carpeted bathrooms?). Well, we've done all the upgrades ourselves so far and we are so proud. I think if we sold it today, we would get at least $40,000 more than we paid, and I think we've only spent about $10,000.

labgrand2012 · May 2017

@jjmno1616 our room was roasting this morning as well and my temp was .03 higher than the last few days. I hope you feel better soon!
@futuremrsbrian Have fun at your party tonight and hope everything turns out just as you planned. I used to be on our companies event committee and they are not easy things to plan.
@shortstack930 Sorry for the BFN. Hope your RE appt. went well and AF hurrys up.
@bswiche4 Hopefully work helps you keep busy and the days fly by.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: CD 20 / 6 DPO

Timing: -4, -3, -2, O, +1

R/R: The roofers replacing our roof didn’t finish and now they have to come back today (supposed to be here 30 minutes ago), and I have a dog who wont go outside when they’re here banging so he’s been messing on my carpet. Ugh. AND they put a 12 pack of empty beers into our trash. So I’m not so thrilled with their service.

CS/Q: What does a normal LP temp chart look like? I’m still new to tracking so I’m always curious if I look normal. I’ve included it here in the spoilers if you guys want to look, although that's not why I asked this, but just in general I was curious how they should look.

GTKY: Name something you bought that turned out to be a really good investment. My couch and recliner. My FI hates them but they are so dang comfortable. I could sit on them all day… and I do on my work from home days.

jenotontx · May 2017

@futuremrsbrian I've been crampy the entire TWW so far and the SS has been strong!

@shortstack930 Glad to hear things are moving forward!

@bswishe4 Glad you have things to keep your mind off it!

@icecubeinthedesert Ugh sorry about the BFN. At least you made it a day longer then I did! Better luck to the both of us next pee stick.

@supercoolstephy Your chart looks totally normal to me. You can google BBT charts and see tons of examples but the real thing to look for is the overall pattern and not the day to day temps. So your looking for temps to be lower overall before O and higher, above the coverline after O.

@labgrand2012 I just bought my first Louie last weekend! It took me a really long time to convince my DH but I finally wore him down lol! Not that I can't spend money on the things I want but you know... it's not exactly a small purchase. I'm obsessed with it though and I think it will turn out to be a great investment as well.

misscoffeeee · May 2017

Hi everyone! Just getting started here... looking forward to getting to know you all!

Month/Cycle: 11/9 (6/6 AL)

CD/DPO: 23/4-6 (confusing chart)

Timing: good!

Testing: I'll try to hold out till next Wednesday

R/R: This is my first winter in the Pacific Northwest and it just. Keeps. Raining. I miss the sun!

CS/Q:

GTKY: Name something you bought that turned out to be a really good investment. Rain boots. (See R/R...)

@supercoolstephy whoa that sounds awful with the roofers. We are getting our roof done this week too and now I'm praying they won't be drunk up there. Hope yours finish asap!

mispanda · May 2017

@supercoolstephy It looks pretty "normal" to me. There's a clear thermal shift even if the temps fluctuate.

Month/Cycle: 14/13 (3/3, 2/2 AL)

CD/DPO: 18/3

Timing: -5,-3,-2,-1,O

Testing: I'm not sure.

R/R: It literally went fromthe low 60s to 85 with high humidity. I'm trying to hold out as long as possible before I turn the air on but I've got some boob sweat going on so it won't be long.

CS/Q: Does anyone take progesterone after O and stop temping? I've searched and it looks like it's a toss up. I figure if the progesterone is going to affect my temps why even bother.

GTKY: Name something you bought that turned out to be a really good investment. I bought some Birkenstock sandals last year and I loved them. I'll buy another style for this summer too. I'm excited to have some good sandals that will last for a long time!

GrabberBlue2010 · May 2017

Heyyyoooo! I will be back later for comments. Just wanted to pop in and say hello before running to ANOTHER meeting...

Month/Cycle: 38 / 30

CD/DPO: CD 40 and I have no IDEA where I am dpo

Timing: meh. we shall see

Testing: Maybe try again Friday

R/R: I am killin my water intake and I love every moment of it! Got all my stairs in for today too. Lacking a bit in steps though... Need to do that real quick too.

CS/Q: Nada!

GTKY: Name something you bought that turned out to be a really good investment.
As dumb as this may sound.... a pair of sneakers. I bought myself a pair of Nike Free's the day after I was diagnosed with PCOS. I LOVE THESE SHOES! These shoes got me through losing weight, a divorce, 4 moves, and 3 color runs. The once white shoes are now splattered in Color Run goodness and look so cool. They are in excellent condition STILL and will be my go to for this next round of weight loss. I have never had a shoe last this long. LOL.

icecubeinthedesert · May 2017

@mispanda, I actually did the opposite. I started progesterone this cycle, and for the first time in a long time decided to keep temping through the TWW. I haven't noticed much obvious difference in temps like I expected. Give yourself a break.

mispanda · May 2017

@icecubeinthedesert I started using in my last cycle but took the whole month off temping. I only ask because it extended my LP and I didn't get AF until I stopped using it. I didn't want to over analyze the temps and get my hopes up. I haven't decided what I'll do yet!

icecubeinthedesert · May 2017

@mispanda, my temps don't drop before AF like most people's, so I guess that's why I find it pointless. But I will continue anyways because I've done it so far this TWW.

garnetandgoldgrace · May 2017

@shortstack930 -- Good luck with your IUI!!!!!

@bswishe4 - What SUV do you have? I will be car shopping soon and have been eyeing a Subaru.

@supercoolstephy -- I think your chart looks awesome. I would want a chart like that.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 30/ 9 or 11 DPO.. depending on the app. FF says 9

Timing: Great

Testing: Tested again today and BFN. efffffff

R/R: Temp went up slightly today but not enough to convince me that I am not out.
8 MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL WITH THE KIDS. I can't wait for summer break. I know people like to roll their eyes at teachers getting summer breaks but this school year has been a shit show and I need this for my sanity alone.

CS/Q: Just... please look at this chart and tell me if I am out or not?

My Earth sandals! I have really bad feet and I got nervous getting them because they were $100 but they are saving my life right now.

ramzlau · May 2017

Month/Cycle: 19/19

CD/DPO: 30/16

Timing: was great, but pointless

Testing: Tested 2x yesterday, both were BFN, started antibiotics, waiting AF

R/R: Hate that I have missed the last few days in the dailies, missed you all! I was so sick yesterday from an awful stomach virus going around my office that I couldn't even enjoy being sick binging on Netflix, laid in bed moaning all day. Rant/Rave: Got a BFN yesterday, sucks because MH is disappointed but I am a bit relieved that we won't be stressed about the worries that getting a BFP this cycle would have put on the entire pregnancy as it would have been a higher risk due to the endometritis (trying to find the silver lining). Moving onto IUI next cycle, knew it was coming but now that it is here, freaking me out a bit.

CS/Q: If you want to see a perfect triphastic chart that ended in a BFN see below, trust me I googled the stuffing out of that, it was my BSC item for the month, turns out I am not a SS...again...

GTKY: Name something you bought that turned out to be a really good investment.
Hmm....don't think there is anything yet...is that wrong for a finance person to say?

@garnetandgoldgrace sorry for the BFN! Yay for just 8 more days! Summer break was always so exciting!
@GrabberBlue2010 Don't think we have met yet! Nice to meet you! Way to kill it with the water and workouts!
@mispanda I started progesterone on 11dpo this cycle, it definitely gave me a beautiful temp shift, I think this may be different for everyone.
@quartergreek welcome! I am jealous of your rain boots and we only get rain a few times a year, but every time it rains I wish I had cute ones!
@icecubeinthedesert 9dpo is still early fx! free lunch at a stress seminar sounds like a win though!
@JJMNO1616 Hate fake out temps! FX for you this cycle!
@shortstack930 Sorry for the BFN! Good to hear RE appointment went well if you are starting medicated cycle. What medications are you doing?
@labgrand2012 Good luck with all that laundry! Hope YH helps!

ETA: spelling is hard

shortstack930 · May 2017

@ramzlau just saw this! I'll be doing clomid + Ovidrel trigger. Sorry you weren't a SS but at least you don't have to worry about the endometritis causing problems. Hopefully the IUI will work for us both next cycle!

bswishe4 · May 2017

@garnetandgoldgrace I have a Chevy Trailblazer. My only requirement when shopping was heated seats (I don't like to be cold lol) so I was open to pretty much anything. I drove it and decided on the spot! My grandfather has only drove versions of the same car, they change the names of the blazers but same concept, he generally gets 300,000+ miles. My next vehicle will be another one or the Chevy Tahoe. It would take a lot for me to get anything other than these now.
