***TWW Wednesday***

[mlgnumbers]

Good morning! I thought I'd get us started, since I've got to get going earlier than usual this morning. Hoping to start seeing lots of BFPs!

Cycle/Month:

CD/DPO:

Timing:

Testing Plans:

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks:

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal?

[mlgnumbers]

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 24/11

Timing: High

Testing Plans: Today, BFN again. Considering myself officially out.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: My temp has gone down three days in a row, and I got a BFN on FRER today, so I'm out. I feel a little sad, but I'm looking for the silver lining...like I'll get to ride the coasters at Disney and Universal next month!

GTKY: I eat breakfast about 4/7 days of the week. Usually a bowl of cereal or some toast. But I really love full breakfasts...I wish I could make time for them more often. Instead, we do Breakfast for Dinner a lot.

[lilkitty831]

Morning ladies! I have to post and run since I have to be at the office a little earlier than usual today.

Cycle/Month: 14

CD/DPO: 14 dpiui

Timing: Good

Testing Plans: Waiting for beta results

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Yesterday I went to my RE for an IVF consult, the nurse asked if I took a hpt yet which I had not. They gave me one in the office to take. After a few minutes my RE came back in and said she won't be doing the consult yet because she thinks she sees a faint positive, but not to get my hopes up because it is so faint. I am now waiting for my beta results. I am so nervous. I don't know what to even think. Any positive thoughts would be much appreciated. I will update after I get the call either way.

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? Coffee and yogurt for breakfast!

[kellybenelly83]

mlgnumbers yay for rollercoasters!

lilkitty831 fx your betas come back good! We'll be rooting for you!

Cycle/Month: 8/1AL

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: -5,-1

Testing Plans: I want to wait until I'm "late"

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I have obviously no symptoms. I dont even have sore boobs which is normal for me after I O. Dont know that I actually did. Oh well I guess we'll just keep HIO and see what happens. I dont have my hopes to high for my first cycle back

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? I am a peanut butter on toast person. Tons and tons of peanut butter. Or oatmeal. but mostly peanut butter. In case you didnt catch that, I LOVE peanut butter.

Timing:
-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0


Testing Plans:
none


Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks:
I called my OBGYN yesterday and mentioned it's month 6 and still nothing yet. Gave her a link to my charts and other information she requested and she wants me to come in so we can have a talk. My appt. is in two weeks. I have been having some really bad cramps after I ovulated this time around and backaches. WTF


GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? I'm a cereal and milk person.

Lurking from WTDS... Eek! Super excited for you!! FX that that line keeps getting darker!!!

[youdontsay]

Cycle/Month: 3/4

CD/DPO: 29/9dpo

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

Testing Plans: I might cave and test on Friday.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: my temps are still up, I'm bloated, the crazy train is at the station.

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? Breakfast is my favorite meal. I love eggs Bennie or a traditional english breakfast or omlettes, or pork roll, egg and cheese on a hard roll. Hell, I'll eat anything for breakfast.

[mlgnumbers]

lilkitty831 - FX for great beta results!!!

kellybenelly83 - I *lurve* PB, too. Unfortunately, DD is severely allergic. So, PB = Death in our house. Boo.

wowcheezits - I hope this is your month and you don't need that appointment after all! If not, I hope you get the answers and info you need.

youdontsay - Do you make breakfast every morning? If so, kudos to you! I'm too lazy.

[mynameiscarrie]

YAAAAAS. So excited I finally found this place after TB madness.

Cycle/Month:2/2

CD/DPO: 25/5

Timing: SO good ( -2, -1, O, +1)

Testing Plans: Waiting until 12 DPO (next Wednesday)

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: As an update--So I had previously thought we were out this month due to crazy temps and FF not really knowing anything about my cycle. I was bummed but continued to chart my temps and secondary signs. After adding secondary signs, FF was like "Wait, no, you haven't O'd yet." Long story short- OPK's and temps let us catch my fertile window from basically beginning to end which led to lots of BDing and now I have high (probably too high) hopes. I'm hoping for the best while trying to stay off the crazy train. Hoorah!

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal?

Sometimes. I really don't like eating in the morning but I LOVE breakfast food. I'm a granola bar on the go kind of girl for the meal but a hasbrowns, bacon, donuts, and eggs kind of girl any other time of day.

[frankenboom]

Cycle/Month: 7/8

CD/DPO: 31/8

Timing: Not great

Testing Plans: Saturday

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: More spotting today. I'm not sure what the deal is. I've never had spotting this early before. My body is an asshole.

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? I'm not a huge breakfast fan. I always eat something in the morning because otherwise I wouldn't make it to lunch, but I don't prefer breakfast foods over other foods so I usually just eat whatever is convenient.

[mlgnumbers]

mynameiscarrie Glad you found your way over!

frankenboom - Bodies are complete assholes. I'm with ya.

[youdontsay]

mlgnumbers I wish I made breakfast every day! The cafeteria at my job has breakfast so I usually go there. Their omlettes are awesome.

[walbs424]

Cycle/Month: 3/3

CD/DPO: 26/9

Timing: -2,-1

Testing Plans: Monday if I don't get AF this weekend

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: ff took away my crosshairs today, so I'm not really sure what's going on

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? During the week something quick, I usually bring dry cereal to work or I stop and get an egg white burrito

[bradysalon]

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/DPO: 25/10

Timing: -4, -1, 0

Testing Plans: Sunday (14 dpo) but I know I will cave on friday (12 dpo)

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Yesterday was a bad day for me. I was feeling really sick and emotional. I went to bed at 7:30 and today I feel like a new me. I'm only in the first month of TTC and I am so impatient. I need to learn patience from you ladies!

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal?

I do not eat breakfast during the week because I wake up so early. In fact, I ate breakfast yesterday and promptly threw it up when I got to school. I have been oddly hungry in the mornings though and I never really get hungry in the morn. Sigh.

[becwheat]

Cycle/Month: 4/5

CD/DPO: 23/5dpo

Timing: -2, O = Good

Testing Plans: 10dpo

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I went back to oral temps and they are low. But it still caught O so oh well!

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal?: Yes, I usually have coffee and a some kind of protein.. so I am an egg/breakfast meat person!

Thinking ALL the positive thoughts for you!

[mynameiscarrie]

lilkitty831 FX for good news!!

bradysalon I know what you mean about impatience. It's the first month that I feel like DH and I have actually been in the game so I'm like "I JUST WANT TO KNOW NOW." So annoying!

[awkwardturtle]

Well it's officially CD1 for me so heading to WTO. FX for you ladies!

[aprilz81]

Cycle/Month: 2/3

CD/DPO: 69/9dpo

Timing: -2, 0, +1

Testing Plans: Sunday on our first anniversary!

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: After a dip two days ago my temp is back up. I'm still not convinced I ovulated, but this pattern is a little different from all of the up and down of the last 69 days. Who knows... I'm trying to keep my expectations in check.

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? I'm too lazy to get up "early" to take the time to eat breakfast at home even though I love breakfast foods. I keep granola bars at my desk and on the weekends DH makes breakfast for us both.

[catinatophat]

FX for you lilkitty831! I hope your faint line gets darker!!


Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD/DPO: 17/4

Timing: Not bad, -3 and -1

Testing Plans: None as of now

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: My ear hurts and my kiddo isn't sleeping at night but other than that nothing.

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? I will eat all of the breakfast food! I normally have an instant oatmeal at my desk but if someone would make me eggs and toast every morning I would be a happy camper. Now I really want some bacon!!

[singingsea]

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: 28

Timing: Not temping so zero idea when I O'd...sex EOD

Testing Plans: Since I have 30 to 40 day cycles I'm really not sure. Might just wait till I'm past CD40.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I've been depressed and down in the dumps lately so I'm not feeling super optimistic about this cycle at all.

GTKY: I want to be an eggs and toast gal Sadly trying to get out the door only allows for a granola bar or yogurt.

[longhornwino0907]

I think I go here now...

Cycle/Month: 12/13

CD/DPO: 13/1dpiui

Timing: Confusing... see below. Per my doctor's info, -2, -1, and O, which is great. But I don't know how to tell FF that!

Testing Plans: Beta on Feb. 3, so none before that if I can manage

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Like I said, I think I go here now. I'm going to try to make this story relatively short. This was our first IUI cycle. Femara last week, and doc told me to start OPKs on Monday, have mid-cycle ultrasound Tuesday, and then we'd do the IUI later this week. Great! Except that I got a positive OPK on Monday, the first day of testing. Doc told us to have sex Monday night, keep the ultrasound appointment Tuesday, and we'd decide from there. Got in and he saw three follicles (measuring 24, 13, and 9 -- he was mostly focused on the 24 one). He said definitively I HAD NOT ovulated yet. He said the follie had not released an egg. He wanted to be safe and not miss this cycle, so we did the IUI yesterday, late afternoon. Now the confusing part: per my temps, FF is going to say that I O'd on Monday. But the doc said my follicle was still in tact and had not released the egg. So how do I tell FF that it's wrong? I'm worried about doing an manual override and messing up any data it has collected or is trying to collect. HALP!

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? On the weekends, we'll do eggs, biscuits, pancakes, whatever we're in the mood for. But during the week, or if I'm going to boot camp early on Saturday, I eat a quick bowl of cereal.

[kcones88]

lilkitty831 FX for good news for you!
awkwardturtle Sorry for CD1


Cycle/Month:
4/4


CD/DPO:
31/10


Timing:
-2


Testing Plans:
Saturday


Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks:
I have all the normal PMS symptoms; sore boobs, bloating, and major, major irritability (although that could be the fact that I work with idiots). Expecting my period Friday. 


GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? I rarely eat breakfast during the week. If I do, it's usually chikfil-a. On the weekends, my husband usually cooks scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, bacon and sausage.

[mrss44]

Cycle/Month: 4

CD/DPO: 30/12

Timing: -5, -2, -1

Testing Plans: Tested today. BFN.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: My temp dropped .2 today but is still above the cover line. I'm not sure what to do now. I'm disappointed. FF said my period was due Monday. I guess if no period by Friday, I'll test again.

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? I normally don't eat breakfast. Occasionally I'll have oatmeal, grits or cereal.

[mrssims8212]

FX for lilkitty831!!
frankenboom My body is doing the same thing with earlier than usual spotting. So frustrating

Cycle/Month: 10/10

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: Great

Testing Plans: Might try to see if I can hold out until Sunday if no AF by then.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm having a bit more spotting today and my temp dipped a little bit. It seems like this spotting has started a lot earlier than usual but then again, maybe I'm just having a shorter cycle this month. I'm pretty sure I'm out already. I contacted a great RE in the area and the plan is for our first consult in March.

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal?
I love a nice full breakfast if I have the time but a granola bar works on the busy days.

A positive OPK on Monday would have indicated 24-36hrs later you would Ovulate, so really you could be fine with tuesday/wednesday as O date. FF might not give you Monday as O, it will likely take a few more days for it to confirm the actual date based on your temps. FX the IUI (or sex) did its job!

[longhornwino0907]

Thanks kellybenelly83! I guess my worry is that I plugged in some dummy temps, and no matter what I did, FF gave me crosshairs for Monday. I'll wait it out and see what the next few days look like. But I did explain to my H that the positive OPK typically means a day or so later for ovulation, so we're probably fine. It's just that my temps are throwing me off!

Testing Plans: 1/23/15 if AF hasnt shown by then

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Holy itchy nips and bloating. Pretty sure AF is right around the corner

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal?
At work I eat a Jimmy Dean Delights sandwich. At home I usually fix breakfast burritos or bacon/eggs/pancakes.

[peaseblossom55]

Cycle/Month: 2/3

CD/DPO:26/8

Timing:-3.-2.0.+1

Testing Plans:none


Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: my temp went up but it's still below cl. My chart does even look biphasic. No idea what is going on. I'm still using opk and doing eod sex jic I didn't really O yet. This is frustrating.

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? In the winter oatmeal and fresh fruit in it in the summer sprig and fall I eat yogurt with fresh fruit in it.

[Deleted]

Slight disclaimer first. I am going here based on OPKs and secondary signs (CM). I am using yesterday as my ovulation day, because there is a good chance it was. But I want to assure everyone that I know I can't know for sure without temping. If this month isn't the one, I am going to try to temp again next month.

Cycle/Month: 3 / 4

CD/DPO: 24 / 1

Timing: -5, -3, -1

Testing Plans: 14 DPO

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Glad my timing was good, but these past few days have been rough. I don't know if the is TMI, but I think DH had some performance anxiety. Two days ago we had to try twice that day, because the first time he couldn't finish. Last night we also had a failed attempt. He has VERY rarely every had this issue. I don't feel like I am pressuring him, but I don't know what I can do about it to help. Ugh, at least I am in the TWW and we can just have sex when we want, not on a EOD schedule. Again, sorry if that is TMI. I do really have anyone to talk to about it since none of my close friends IRL know we are trying.

GTKY: Do you eat breakfast? If so, are you a granola bar on the go kinda person or an eggs and toast sorta gal? Yes, I always eat breakfast. Well more like drink breakfast. I make fruit and spinach smoothies with greek yogurt (you can't taste the spinach though). They are great to have during the drive to work.
