Rants/raves/chartstalks: I bought different tests last night. I bought the Wegmans version of First Response and it even said on the box "Compare to First Response". Wegmans didn't sell the name brand ones, so I just grabbed theirs. They were fucking blue dyes. I'm so annoyed. If I'm going to keep getting negatives I'd appreciate it being on a legit test. Wegmans, I love you, why did you do this me?? AF is due today and fully expected it there this morning. For the last forever amount of years since I've been getting my period it's always showed up as soon as I get up in the morning. ALWAYS. I can't remember a time I didn't see it the first time I use the bathroom in the morning. I'm just pissed off. My body is an asshole and I hate it. I'm just ready for my period to show up so I can tuck tail and go back to WTO. Also, it's mother fucking -20million degrees outside. How the fuck is school not closed!? I should just call in and go back to bed. Today is already a steaming pile of horse shit anyways.
GTKY: Nothing. Indoor track is over and if my period ever fucking shows up I'll be in too much pain to do anything anyways, so I will parked on my couch all fucking weekend.
I apologize for my excessive sailor mouth today. I am super cranky this morning.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I am really frustrated with my body today. I know it's irrational but I've been super emotional lately. I've gained about 40lbs in the past year (problems with my diabetes medications) so the complications with TTC are just adding to the frustration. My temp dropped back to my cover line this morning after not being able to sleep well because of painful cramps. I saw the number on the thermometer and just broke down crying which is not like me at all. Maybe all the baby announcements from family/friends lately are just getting to me.
GTKY: What's on the docket for this weekend? We are getting a sitter Saturday night and going out to celebrate Valentine's early. Hopefully AF holds off until Monday like she's supposed to.

My "love it" was me sending you creepy Internet hugs this morning. Sorry that you are having a hard time.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: All my pre AF symptoms are here. I know I hope every month would be the month, but this month would have been great because DHs 30th birthday is next Thursday. We always hoped to be KTFU before we turned 30. I think it would be great to annouce to him with his birthday gift.
GTKY: What's on the docket for this weekend? Work work and more work. I'll probably put in 56 hours at my day job this week and another 5 at my side business.
I'm sorry ladies. Blue dye and temp falling just sucks.
Cycle/month 1/1 24/5 -4 -2 -1 0 awesome timing for us Testing. Wednesday. Vacay day I'm frustrated by my body. I'm frustrated that everyone I talk to got pregnant month one without temping or anything. Like how is that possible. I know I'm on cycle one and I'm not complaining about that. I just hate how everyone irl has it "easy". And I don't think they're lying. I try and be happy for them. But I am not.
Also in selfishly upset that af is ruining my vacation next week. More than likely that is
cnf2013 thanks for starting and sorry about the false advertising on your HPT.
I'm glad I go here now!
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 21/3 (but drunk FF says 5dpo)
Timing: good.
Testing Plans: not until next weekend.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: ugh, I was so excited to get my CH this morning, but then FF says I O'd on Sunday, which cannot be right. Luckily my timing is okay either way, but clearly I am 3dpo right? FAM setting agrees with me.
GTKY: What's on the docket for this weekend? Actually nothing and pretty pumped about it. Probably stay in tonight and watch a movie. Tomorrow we're having dinner with some friends, but I expect to watch 10 or so episodes of Parenthood on Netflix in the morning while DH is at work.
ETA: Been playing around on FF to see why it says I'm 5 dpo. Looks like the + OPK last Friday has it confused. When I change it to - it says I'm 3 dpo. Silly FF.
I'm sorry ladies. Blue dye and temp falling just sucks.

I know you are saying that you are not complaining about TTC, but you kind of are. You are only 24 days into Cycle 1 - you don't know if getting KU is easy for you either. I'd not get so worked up if I were you. Be happy for your friends, you have no reason not to be right now.

:::lurking:::: creepy Internet hugs - here are some things to brighten your day
1) your first sip of coffee in the morning 2) if it's cold hopefully not all your students will show up and you can have a "snow day" word searches anyone? 3) it's Friday! And if AF does come (hopefully not) you can curl up with a heating pad instead of suffering through work 4) you have us, and we're a little bit awesome 5) these faces
Hope that helps!!
ETA: never mind my disaster of a closet in the background lol ETA2: housecarder you can have this too just change the student part to something more awesome for you
Rants/raves/chartstalks: my temp stayed up this am, I usually see a drop a day or two before AF, and 5/7 of my previous charts I've had that drop by now. So I'm hopeful, really hopeful. I may have had an implantation dip at 8dpo, which I know could be nothing, but I'm feeling super hopeful, and if my temp stays up tomorrow I may test.
GTKY: What's on the docket for this weekend? Cooking!
I'm sorry ladies. Blue dye and temp falling just sucks.

I do actually know. I had a loss when I was young and I have a lo. Took 5 months which is great and obv not long at all. Just sharing my jealous thoughts. Sorry if it came off as like "omg I had sex this month and I should be pregnant" it's a process. I get that.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Nothing to rant about except for the fact that I know I'm not pregnant once again. I really hate moving onto double digits but ready for my period to start tomorrow.
GTKY: What's on the docket for this weekend? Dinner out tonight. Pool, BBQ, and tennis tomorrow. Probably more tennis on Sunday.
Sorry to the ladies feeling frustarated and emotional! Hugs to you guys.
Cycle/Month: 3/3
CD/DPO:21/7
Timing: not good.
Testing Plans: none
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I thought our timing would be good based on last months O day - but I O'd 3 days later this month. As frustrating as that is, I am so grateful to know now what my body is doing (via temping). I wish of started doing this years ago. They should teach this stuff in college.
GTKY: What's on the docket for this weekend? My husband is off this weekend as well (that happens once every two months), so he has big plans for us to do our taxes, go to Costco and meal prep for Whole30, which he wants us to start doing. Um, yay? Lol.
CD/DPO: 13/1 (but I'm being a whore and posting both here and WTO until tomorrow, to see if my temp continues to go up. I am a slow riser and I have been ovulating early and having short cycles since my post-partum periods returned. This is PP cycle #12, btw.)
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing Plans: 10 dpo
Rants/raves/chartstalks: We were trying to have ED sex during my FW, but we just couldn't do it yesterday. In the 17 cycles we have TTC in the past, we never did ED sex and I wanted to try it out. Close enough, I guess. If it doesn't work this time, we're going to try for ED sex again next cycle. Then we'll move on to something a little less demanding.
GTKY: Dinner with friends tonight, Painting with a Twist tomorrow afternoon, possibly lunch with my family on Sunday plus grocery shopping and relaxing as much as possible.

Cycle month: 2/3 Cs/dpo: 42/10 Timing: good -2,-1 Testing plans: none Rants/raves/chart stalks: I'm so done with the cycle. Not even sure I o'd I just want a period and want to move on if there going to be no I or bfp.
Gtky: we have our goddaughter's 1st birthday party and walking dead starts back up. I also have a lot of rehearsal.

jtizzay, I am sorry that you had a loss when you were young. However, trying for 5 months for your LO is actually not long. It is within a normal range. Heck, I wish it had only taken me 5 months the first time. And you are in your first cycle this time and don't even know for sure yet whether or not you were successful. The woe-is-me stuff is eyeroll worthy at this stage.
Testing Plans: This morning. I thought I saw the FAINTEST line on the wondfo but it was after the time limit. So I used a FRER and I'm seeing a faint but definitely there line! I'm not really believing it so I'll test again tomorrow to be sure. I know I should be excited but I'm just worried about it being an evap since I've had those on FRERs and Wondfos before. Pregnant or not, you ladies have been the only reason I've been staying sane with this trying to conceive process, so thank you!
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I guess I got that all out in the above blurb
GTKY: No weekend plans except for peeing on every stick I can get my hands on.
Testing Plans: Maybe before girls night (11dpo) or when i'm deciding to buy champs for valentine's day (13 or 14 dpo)
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Finally feeling better! I went to zumba last night an I think I sweat out whatever was left of the cold I've been dragging around for almost 2 weeks. I'm so done with winter this year. my office has no windows, but my boss is out of town, I think I'm going to work from home today just so I can sit in a sunny room.
GTKY: What's on the docket for this weekend? I teach ballet on saturday mornings, so there's that. Then getting my car serviced. I think Doggit and I are going to go out skijoring saturday afternoon. More snow on Sunday so we'll probably just hunker down and watch netflix all day.

apunicorn FX that line gets much darker tomorrow!!
Cycle/Month: 8/1Al
CD/DPO: 37/8
Timing: -4, -3, +1
Testing Plans: none for now
Rants/raves/chartstalks: just started coughing this morning, I am not happy about that, I have a throat that will not stay wet, its like I have sandpaper lodged in there. right before a 3 hour excel course, lovely.
GTKY: What's on the docket for this weekend? tomorrow I will be making a few freezer meals for DH, Sunday I fly out for a week for a work course. not too happy about that. poor dh is playing the drama llama and saying he'll have to walk the dogs, make dinner, do dishes...blah blah blah. lol. I just made fun of him when he did that. he doesnt know I'm planning to make him food to help out.
Married 10/10/10! TTC Baby #1 since April 2014 BFP Oct 16 - EP terminated Nov 6 2014 Off the Bench January 2015! BFP #2 June 1 2015 - EDD Feb 12 2016! Baby Boy born 15th February 2016!
Hugs to those that need them and fx for darker lines tomorrow apunicorn!
Cycle/Month: 2 (AL)
CD/DPO: 25/10
Timing: perfect
Testing Plans: this morning. bfn. ugggggh!
Rants/raves/chart stalks: temps are still well above cover, so I don't feel out yet, but it's discouraging. Also, I was so excited to test this am that I woke myself up an hour early and now I'm tired
GTKY: What's on the docket for this weekend? Finally getting a chance to relax and get over a cold/cough/sore throat that I've had all week. Netflix marathon, here we come! Just 10 more hours.....
Testing Plans: Maybe tomorrow. Depends on if I start spotting or not. I usually start spotting a week before my period, which my doctor just confirmed might be a problem. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantastic.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Temps are still up, so we'll see. No symptoms. Nothing.
GTKY: What's on the docket for this weekend? Dinner tomorrow night with H at a fancy shmancy Italian restaurant. Getting my eyebrows done (finally). Maybe a massage? Maybe a mani/pedi? Have to return the pair of boots that H bought me for Xmas.
peanutmuse. I think I'm sleepy and not making myself clear. I do not think 5 months is a long time at all. Like at all. I'm simply envious of people who take no time as I am sure to some extent we all are. It does not make me incapable of being happy for them nor in my mind does it make me a bad person. My only point which I think we actually disagree on is that it's also nerve wracking ttc. If you're able to not be at all then that's amazing and you are a more put together person than I. I am 0% woe is me and I get it came off like that but you'll have to trust me on that one and gtkm. While I hope all our visits here are short I do hope to gtky all much better.
Testing Plans: No clue. Seriously. Sometime next week?
Rants/raves/chartstalks: A very slight temp rise today.
I can't seem to get it through DH's head that ovulation tends to determine your AF not the whole 'but your cycle was x days last month' logic. He's convinced that this is proof that he was right about this cycle. Of course I was totally a moron and used the 'charts like mine' search and found a ton of pregnancy ones that look nearly identical to mine complete with the dip to coverline with a slight temp increase the following day. Why did I do that? I should know better than to look stuff up!
GTKY: What's on the docket for this weekend? My best friend is coming over on Saturday and actually I'm super nervous. Why? because she started TTC in Jan. and she told me via text she wanted to have a 'chat' about something important. I'm scared she's going to say she's KTFU. Of course I also hate myself for feeling that way especially when I haven't even been ttc that long. I'm a brat. Accepting you have a problem is a good first step.
cnf2013 My periods were always always like that, and randomly one month it showed up in the middle of the day. Now every few months it'll do that.
apunicorn Yay! Hopefully tests will stay positive! FWIW, with DS my wondfos only showed up positive after the time limit for the first few days I tested.
Cycle/Month: 4 (prior NTNP months)
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: -4, -1, +1
Testing Plans: I only have 1 digital so need to wait it out. Still refusing to buy more tests so I stay off the crazy train.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: None really, just kinda comparing to my BFP cycle with DS and not feelin like this is it.
GTKY: Not much. DH is out of town so just me and DS this weekend. Lots of playing and hopefully it'll be warm enough to get out and get some fresh air.
