GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how?

[14joa31]

Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 18/?

Timing: who knows

Testing Plans: none

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: FF didn't give me any CH (again), likely because I have a cold this month (again). But I know I have O'd because my average cycle length is 24 days. Maybe some day I will be cold-less and get a normal chart AND CH - wistful sigh!

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? Before going on stage in my pre-school play, I got my head stuck in the back of my chair - because it's so funny to stick your head through the back of your chair and wave hello to your parents! Everyone had to wait and watch the teacher pull my head out of the chair before the play could continue.

[expatmama11]

Cycle: 9

CD/DPO: 14/3

Timing: -4, -2, 0, +1

Testing Plans: none right now

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I O'd again on CD11. My typical LP is 14 days so I know I won't test until at least 12DPO. I start spotting around 8 to 9 DPO so I usually know fairly early if I'm out.

I just booked a vacation this morning so if this is our cycle that trip is going to be quite interesting!

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? I played basketball in high school and was one of the people who shot a basket on the wrong side of the court. It was awful.

[mill23]

Cycle: 1/2

CD/DPO: 29/11

Timing: Low

Testing Plans: Nada

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I've had some EW CM for the past couple of days and so now FF has changed my solid CH to dotted ones. No idea what is going on. Still suspect AF is around the corner.

GTKY: Oh my gosh, too many to count. One time I was giving a presentation in french and didn't realize that literally translated 'I am excited" meant 'I am horny' in the local slang. And I said it a lot. So embarrasing!

[meerkatmillie]

Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 24/9

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

Testing Plans: Friday 1/30/2015 (13DPO)

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Last month my temps went up and looked triphasic at this point. This months temps are kind of flat. They're still high, I just can't shake the feeling that I'm going to be out.

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? Not paying close attention to what was in front of me, I walked into a store display and knocked everything over.

[mustloveerica]

Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 26/13

Timing: good

Testing Plans: none

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I *think* I had a tiny bit of spotting this morning. I'm positive were out this month and AF is on her way. However, I want to rave and say that usually I start spotting on 10dpo and this is the latest I have gone without. It is wonderful!! Now for a rant...my mom gave me two ladder bookshelves that I've been wanting for years last night. I was feeling like miss independent and didn't want to bother DH, so I carried both of them up to our bedroom. I decided I didn't like them up there and was carrying them both downstairs. Got the first one down easy but when I was carrying the second one I slipped on the steps and fell and busted my face up. DH came running to my rescue and scolded me for not asking for help. And today im pissed because I look like I got in a bar fight and no amount of makeup seems to hide it. But my shelves look adorable in my dining room.

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? See above. Haha. I embarrass myself all the time. I once fell getting off of an escalator at the mall and broke my foot.

[squeakyduck]

Cycle: 9

CD/DPO: 24/7

Timing: good

Testing Plans: Saturday or Sunday

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I've had cramps for the last few days. They don't feel like my period ones, ibs, or ovulation. They're really low, right over my public bone. It's annoying,because I highly doubt they mean anything.

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? Not that I can think of off the top of my head. If I have, I've repressed it pretty well.

[mynameiscarrie]

Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 30/5

Timing: low

Testing Plans: none unless AF is late

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: temp drop today, but it may just be because I temped at a normal time instead of the later times the past couple of days. I don't think AF is due yet since I'm only 5 dpo.

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how?
When I was a kid, I puked ALL over my dad when we were singing on stage in front of our church on Christmas Eve. Good times.

[becwheat]

Cycle:

CD/DPO: 28/10

Timing: -2, O (good)

Testing Plans: BFN this morning, I thought I saw a super squinter... but I used a FRER and it was stark white. I am pretty sure I was seeing things.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My rational brain says "10 dpo is still early and you are not out yet! Every pregnancy is different, just because you tested + with DD at 9dpo doesn't mean the next one would be that way!"

My crazy train brain is all like "Well, you are out. You would have seen some kind of line by now. BUT you do not have a skin break out yet.. so maybe? AND you have not had spotting... so maybe?"

I will hold off on testing again till 12 or 13 dpo since my longest LP is 12.

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how?: I have never been the root of the humiliation, but I was humiliated by association to my X.

[catinatophat]

Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 22/9

Timing: -3,-1

Testing Plans: I plan on testing Wednesday at 11 DPO.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My chart looks just like my other charts which doesn't make me very optimistic.

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? No, not yet anyways.

[papm951214]

Great timing expatmama11 and meerkatmillie!

FX for all you DPO 9, 10, 11, and more! Hope to not see you here before too long!

Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 25/7

Timing: High (-4, -3, -2, -1)

Testing Plans: 10 DPO I think, which will be Thursday the 29th

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I'm trying to keep my cool. It's tough though, as you ladies know. It's way too early to be able to tell anything or feel any twinges, but sometimes I think I have a teeny bit of nausea in the morning (I really don't.). I also had a crazy weird dream that I started spotting, and I'm simply desperately trying to keep the crazy train at bay.

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? Ugh more times than I care to recall. When we were moving into our house, we had a lot of help from friends and family, thankfully. I was a bit under the weather with a cold, but not a huge deal. Someone made a hilarious joke, and I just busted out laughing, and shot snot all out of my nose and down my face. I was mortified.

[Deleted]

Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 29 / 6

Timing: -5, -3, -1

Testing Plans: 14 DPO (Feb. 3rd)

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Not much going on today. Just trying to wait until 14 DPO this time, since my period started on 13 DPO last month.

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? When working at Sonic, I was a skating carhop. I feel on my face in front of a ton of people. I caught myself and wasn't hurt too badly, but it sure was embarrassing.

[singingsea]

I'm out. AF showed her ugly face this morning. Hopping over to WTO.

Cycle: 4

CD/DPO:6dpo

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

Testing Plans:none. If I exceed a ten day LP (mine has been averaging 8-9), then I will reassess.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks:

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? All the time. I can't think specific.

[Deleted]

Sorry about CD1 singingsea!

[lmc]

Hi!

Cycle: 5

CD/DPO: CD21, 1DPO - FF hasn't picked it up yet, but between a temp rise and CBFM, I'm confident it was yesterday

Timing: O, -1, -2, -4, -5. I am tired.

Testing Plans: Hoping to wait it out until at least the 5th or 6th if there's no temp drop. I've been having 29-30 day cycles with 10-day LPs, so if my temp doesn't drop by the 4th, I'll probably start getting pretty pumped.


GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? It wouldn't be an average day if I hadn't managed to publicly humiliate myself.

[rufus426]

Cycle: 14/13

CD/DPO: 18/5

Timing: -3, O

Testing Plans: only if AF is late

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Thank you dog for puking on my comforter last night when I asked you to go to your own bed.

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? Absolutely. I am very clumsy so I can't even tell you how many times I have fallen on my face in front of others.

[teraiin]

Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 28/6

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, O, +1

Testing Plans: Not until AF is 'late'

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Meh. I woke up in the middle of the night with excruciating cramps. That never happened when I was on the BCP. but it could just be something I ate I guess. No idea. All I know is I'm tired now! My temps seem very rocky and not all that high compared to last month. But who knows. I'm feeling much more patient this cycle.

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? Ugh, well one time I walked into a pole at Disney World. That was pretty embarrassing. Then there is this one time I mis-spoke in a college class that I apparently said something that insulted the teacher and she ridiculed me in front of everyone. All I said was that the author didn't clearly state his view on something and that it was up to the couple. She was very against the issue. Bleh.

[momomel]

Hey all, I'm new both to here and to TTC. Just wanted to start Monday by thanking you all for this site. There is so much information in here, it should basically just be bound and published and distributed as a women's reproductive health manual. It's pretty amazing to be in solidarity with all of you. Wishing you all the best. 

Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 31/13dpo

Timing: -2, O

Testing Plans: Still testing like a crazy person, still getting BFN. I wish I could stop myself but it is just not possible. I guess it's still pretty early, but at least I am wasting the cheap Wondfos and not FRER. 

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I've always wished I had a more reg. period, now more than ever.  I've had many embarrassing moments in public and my husband now knows the feminine hygiene aisle like the back of his hand. I generally range from 17- 40 days, and generally get zero warning. I am now on day 31 of cycle. I have had sore boobs and super sensitive nipples and a few other minor symptoms that I am wasting precious time over analyzing if they are PMS, pregnancy, or if I am making them up in  my head. I guess non of it really matters until BFP or AF! 

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? See above. My AF is schizo causing many humiliating situations!

[shadesofgold]

singingsea - Sorry for CD1!

Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: cd 25/8 DPO

Timing: good

Testing Plans: Friday (12 DPO)

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I will be spending the next two days trying to feel if anything is implanting. (Joke.)

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? I was a ballet dancer in my youth - during one performance of the Nutcracker I tripped on my costume and fell on my face.

[peaseblossom55]

Cycle: 2/3

CD/DPO: 31/13

Timing:-3,-2, 0, +1

Testing Plans: None

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: FF took away my CH's yesterday. I had a huge temp drop today, so I'm hoping AF is on the way shortly because I have no hope for this cycle. Feel free to chart stalk....Just to be sure I'm still using OPK's and keeping up with EOD sex.

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? I'm sure I have but the memory is probably so repressed.

[singingsea]

Thanks @metalmoliver & shadesofgold. The only upside is I'm going to a concert on saturday and I get to have all the alcohol

[rooskie]

Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 27/13

Timing: EOD

Testing Plans: bfn on 11dpo

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: question. My bbt has been reading at or around 97.7 lately. Does that mean my battery is crapping out? How often should it be replaced?

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? None in particular but it was a right of passage at my college to fall up the stairs in the college of business building. All the cool kids did it.

[mugster]

Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 18/3

Timing: -1

Testing Plans: Probably never

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: FF gave me crosshairs, but I'd give it 50/50 odds that I haven't ovulated yet. If tomorrow is high again, I'll take it... I just have been up and down a lot this cycle. It doesn't matter, because the husband is out of town for a week, so there is no more sex in my immediate future.

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? Not really... In college, right before a professor started lecturing, the whole 300+ person room went silent. Then I sneezed, six dainty little "achoos" that somehow carried through the entire room, which erupted in laughter. I hardly think it was that funny, or my fault... (still not over it, clearly).

[mustloveerica]

Welp...."think I started spotting" turned into definitely spotting. So we are definitely out this month. Feeling pretty crappy about starting cycle 8. I'm dreading getting to double digits.

[anonymouseliza]

Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 44/11

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

Testing Plans: Done testing. Clear BFN this morning and bad cramping and no more sore boobs. AF on the way!

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Well, I'm a little disappointed it didn't work the first time, because it would have been a nice change from the last time we ttc. Alas. I know my cycle was super long and that isn't ideal anyway. I had gotten into really routine cycles with great ovulations last year by losing weight and getting healthier and December was a shit month in that respect. So hopefully the fact I'm on the right track again will help here. I'm just ready for AF to get here so I can go ahead and order more opk's and a new thermometer. Bring it on!

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? Hahahahahahaha. Yeah. I have all the grace of a drunken, tranquilized elephant. Once when I worked in the central office, I was out assisting a department. The department administrator introduced me to the directors and we were standing around making small talk and I shifted my weight to my other foot and I'm still not sure entirely what happened - my ankle rolled or my knee buckled, but the next thing you know I was flat on my back, staring up at the ceiling while a bunch of very concerned people tried to figure out what the hell happened. All I could do was laugh, but I think they thought I was drunk or something. I remember that I walked back to the central office, straight into my boss's office and told her that I was never going back because I'd fallen and sprained my dignity.

I don't see any indication of a temp shift on your chart. I see you're still doing OPKs and having sex, and I think that's your best bet. FX you O soon.

[stoney1019]

Sorry for the CD1s and BFN ((

Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 28/14

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

Testing Plans: BFN on 12DPO

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Temps are still up but that could be wine related from last night. I feel like I am 'dripping' (TMI) but it's a creamy CM and not AF yet even though it feels like the same sensations as AF. Just waiting out AF, any day now. Blech. Cramping for a week now, sore boobs, pimples, super irritable and emotional = cookies for breakfast!!!! yum!

GTKY: Have you ever publicly humiliated yourself? If so, how? Oh my yes. I was at a friend's birthday in the south of England and I was VERY drunk. I fell down 13 steps at the bar from top to bottom and the entire bar stopped and stared at me. Thankfully I was so drunk I just bounced everywhere and was so embarrassed I stood up and RAN back to our seats. I will never forget that mortifying feeling and also how much it f*cking hurt! I could hardly walk for days or even bend over, and I still have a lump on my shin from the horrific bruise I had.

I feel your pain, also afraid of the double digits. Sorry girl!!
