Cycle/Month: 9/11 (3/5 AL)
CD/DPO:25/4
Timing: high according to FF
Testing Plans: none right now
Rants/raves/chart stalks: nothing really today.
GTKU: for those living with all this snow, do you participate in any snowsports, or winter specific sports? for those that live in warmer places, have you ever vacationed where it's cold? answer both questions if they apply we get snow but there really isn't any winter sports to do around here. I've vacationed somewhere that does. I like to look at the snow and be warm anyway although I would like to try snow skiing sometime.
Married: June 25, 2011 Our beautiful girl came into our lives October 15, 2012 TFAS: March 2014 BFP #2 July 2014 Miscarriage (7 weeks) August 2014 BFP #3 September 2014 Chemical Pregnancy September 2014 Seeing the RE: February 2015 Diagnosis PCOS: February 2015 BFP #4 April 2015 Chemical Pregnancy April 2015 BFP #5 June 2015 EDD: 3/5/2016
Rants/raves/chartstalks: can I get a chart stalk? I still wonder if FF might be off and I might have o'd on cd 17 instead of 14. Maybe I'm just being hopeful.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: My best friend knows I chart. She doesn't get it but she knows when I do it. Twice in the past week and a half she has called me before my alarm was set to go off. I don't usually get up out of bed but I'm sure answering the phone and chatting messes with my temps.
GTKU: for those living with all this snow, do you participate in any snowsports, or winter specific sports? for those that live in warmer places, have you ever vacationed where it's cold? answer both questions if they apply No participation in winter sports. Sometimes i accidentally go off roading.
If someone calls me before my alarm is supposed to go off, it better be an emergency. Otherwise, I will answer just like Jess in When Harry Met Sally: "No one I know would call at this hour." This is why my phone is set to DND until 30 minutes after my alarm

Hugs risscaboobs, I know how you feel. The disappointment is hard every month when you want it that badly whether you have been trying for a long time or not.
Cycle/Month: 3/4
CD/DPO: 30/11
Timing: -5 through O
Testing Plans: perhaps tomorrow depending on what my temp does
Rants/raves/chartstalks: My temp dropped some today and I don't have any exciting symptoms so my hopes aren't too high. My last few cycles I had spotting and no cramps leading up to CD1 and this time I have cramps and no spotting. WTF.
GTKU: for those living with all this snow, do you participate in any snowsports, or winter specific sports? for those that live in warmer places, have you ever vacationed where it's cold? I live close enough to skiing but I don't go often. I've been skiing in WV and NC and snow shoeing in UT.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: my temps are down. I'm out. I don't know why but it's really hitting me hard this time. I cried a lot yesterday, and I've been crying already this morning. I know we've only been trying for 4 months and many of you have been trying longer. And I have great cycle lengths. I have nothing to complain about. I've just wanted this for so long and the fact that it seems to be evading me is breaking my heart.
((Hugs)) I totally understand - I think I'll feel the same way in a couple months. And try not to compare yourself to those with irregular cycles or other difficulties - TTC is hard on folks in different ways. My cycle seems pretty regular too (so far) and I think I will find that frustrating as I go along in that I should have it "easy" since things aren't wonky and it still isn't happening. So just because others have difficulty and frustration for other reasons doesn't invalidate your own feelings - be kind to yourself!
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I am 95% sure I O'd on saturday but my temps are not supporting that. Today my temp went down again but I am SUPER sick and woke freezing and with my mouth wide open. I have also been taking lots of cold meds to stay asleep at night. Chart stalk maybe? This is also my first month temping so I know I need to stop worrying about it so much.
I think Saturday or Sunday is a possibility. Wait to see what your temps do tomorrow.
Rants/raves: FF gave me my CH this morning...yay! My first cycle temping so let's see how it turns out!
GTKY: I live in southern California so no snow days for me. I've been to NYC and Connecticut when its been cold and snowy. Both beautiful places. I've also about 45min away from the mountains so we can drive up to see snow during the winter.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: My best friend knows I chart. She doesn't get it but she knows when I do it. Twice in the past week and a half she has called me before my alarm was set to go off. I don't usually get up out of bed but I'm sure answering the phone and chatting messes with my temps.
Why don't you ignore the call, take your temp, and then call her back?
Because I think it's my alarm clock and I get confused
ETA: I'm not a morning person. Last week I thought I was hitting snooze but actually answered her call. I put the phone down and hear, Hello, Hello, are you there?
anustart, I also have raynauds, the cold sucks, I only go out when it's in at least the 20's. I have nice thinsulate gloves that I put hot packs in and on colder days I have fleece-lined neoprene socks my mom found me that are amazing, as long as my feet are warm when I put the socks on they stay warm for hours.
Lurking**
Holy shit! Do tell me more about these socks. I also have Raynaud's, but I usually just stay inside in the winter. My fingers are far worse than my toes, though.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: This TWW is dragging so far. I just told MH that if I got KU this cycle then I'd be due around Halloween. He said "Niiice. I would like that!"
GTKU: for those living with all this snow, do you participate in any snowsports, or winter specific sports? for those that live in warmer places, have you ever vacationed where it's cold? answer both questions if they apply Skiing and snowboarding. I live in a ski resort town so there's no avoiding it.
TTC #1 since August 2013 DX: Endo November 2014: Hysteroscopy, D&C June - September 2015: Clomid + Novarel + IUI #1-3 January 2017: Laparoscopy - endo removed
Testing Plans: trying so hard not to pee on all the things!
Rants/raves/chartstalks: the TWW mind games have officially begun!! My temp was high and my boobies hurt and I was all yay! I'm totes pregotes! Then it went down and I was like JK no baby, but then I had brownish tinted discharge on my thermometer with a few drops after that in the Am on my undies and I was like SQUEE!! I have IB! Woke up today and temp is higher but still not back in the 98s and I was like well maybe that wasn't IB. Then I went pee at work and saw two tiny brown spots in the front of my undies and I proceeded to google IB and I'm back to well yes indeedy I am KU bc I also was nauseous yesterday so obvs my little blastocyst has implanted lmao. This is soooo annoying! It doesn't help that my bestie is on my ass saying just pee on a dollar store cheapie already!!!

Meh, i live in New England and we are getting fucked up the ass with snow right now and I'm about ready to jump off a bridge. I used to ski when I was little and went a week ago but it's been too damn cold to do anything! Saturday is supposed to be a whole 9 degrees. 9 degrees? Are you freaking kidding me gahhh

I know! My hubby was excited about the prospect of that too. Plus his birthday is in October

My mom got them for me when I was in 8th grade, so I have no idea where they came from. but it makes complete sense if you think about it, neoprene is designed to trap your body heat in.
my pre-ski foot ritual goes something like this: open hot packs, let them warm-up, put anti-persperant all over my feet (if my feet sweat and get wet they then get very cold, antipersperant helps), warm toes with hot packs, put on neoprene socks, put on ski boots, put hot packs used to warm feet in my gloves.

I have it as well. My fingers feel like they are on fire if it gets below 35 and I'm only wearing glove liners. My hands are worse than my feet, but I should probably invest in a couple pairs of those socks. They are supposed to be really good. Ive seen the neoprene gloves online, they just so expensive.
Testing Plans: Done testing. Just waiting for CD1.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: My temp went back up a little bit this morning, but I'm pretty much out of hope. I had a good cry last night because I was hoping I could cancel the appointment I have scheduled with a specialist next week (gyn recommended a specialist based on my last appointment and some symptoms that she said are not normal, even though we haven't been trying for too long).
GTKU: for those living with all this snow, do you participate in any snowsports, or winter specific sports? for those that live in warmer places, have you ever vacationed where it's cold? answer both questions if they apply 1. NO. I hate snow. 2. NEVER. Once again, I hate snow.

my hands are the worst when it's like 40-50 degrees and a little damp...I think I'm not as smart about wearing gloves then. I have some LLBean mittens that have thinsulate lined finger separators that work well most of the winter, I wear wool socks and LLBean thinsulate lined boots most the time too.

Yea, those socks will definitely come in handy for the late-season football games for me.

In my weird attempt to keep my expectations low, I already looked ahead to what might be a due date if I GKU next month (and keep a similar cycle length) - my birthday is the end of November, and I was born on my Nana's bday, so I am now thinking, oh, third generation with the same birthday!

Who knew there were so many of us here with Raynaud's? I also have it, and mostly deal with it on my toes. I have a pair of Mizuno breath thermal socks that are wonderful for it, as long as I put them on when my feet are warmed up. They react to moisture by heating up so I usually end up with toasty toes!

Just out of curiosity, did you drink a lot of coffee this morning? Or maybe take some speed? Diet pills, perhaps?
Hugs risscaboobs! I know it can seem wrong to feel upset for yourself when there are others around who have more difficulties, but that shouldn't diminish your feelings. Let yourself be upset for you, but know that you have support here when you need it.
Cycle/Month: 7/6
CD/DPO: 22/8
Timing: -5,-3,-1,O
Testing Plans: Trying to hold out until at least 2/15 (13dpo)
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I have one foot on the crazy train and am swinging back and forth. My temps the last two days have been higher and I had some mild low cramping this morning so I got really optimistic. Then I looked at my previous charts and realized that the same thing happens almost every month right before my temp plummets. I also haven't slept well the last two nights due to antidepressant withdrawal and I'm not sure how much is due to that.
ETA: I just made an appointment for a pap smear with a new Dr. and while making the appointment the receptionist asked "did you say you are pregnant?" which got a "...no" (but hopefully by the time I come in)
GTKU: for those living with all this snow, do you participate in any snowsports, or winter specific sports? for those that live in warmer places, have you ever vacationed where it's cold? answer both questions if they apply I grew up in Vermont and have done downhill and cross country skiing, and snowshoeing. I think ice skating was my favorite and I still regret not playing hockey in high school. Now I live in the south and sometimes really miss the snow and love to visit my parents in the winter, get to play in the snow, then come back south. Also, my dog absolutely loves snow!! He gets so excited even if it's just a dusting.
