I'm kind of a sporadic poster so I hope it's ok if I start this.

GTKY: Tell us about your pets! All past/present/future pets welcome.

[JoBub]

Cycle/Month: 1/1


CD/DPO: 28/8


Timing: -3, O. FF says "Good"


Testing Plans: I have a cheapie stash so I'll probably test tomorrow and every day after until something happens.


Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I keep doing the "chart overlay" in FF to see how this chart compares to my previous BFP. It was encouraging, until I compared this chart to last month, and it was even more similar. I feel like all the FF tools just feed the crazy.


GTKY: Tell us about your pets! All past/present/future pets welcome.
I never liked animals. We had a corgi when I was growing up that I hated because she had a foot obsession and my ankles would break out when she licked me. Now I have a mini poodle named Josie. We only got her to make my H happy, but now I love her.

JoBub thanks for starting! I totally get the comparing on FF. I finally had to make myself stop because I was making myself crazy.

Cycle/Month: 14 TFAS

CD/DPO: 21/4

Timing: -1, -3

Testing Plans: Next week

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Another normal chart with clear ovulation. I think my body is finally starting to reset after the losses.

GTKY: Tell us about your pets! All past/present/future pets welcome: Right now I have a 9 year old labradoodle who is my best buddy. He's an 80 lb baby who thinks he weighs 5 pounds. We rescued him from the SPCA when he was 10 months old.

[euphony]

Sooo.... ummm...

Cycle/Month: 1 (TFAS)

CD/DPO: 31/15

Timing: good enough, apparently

Testing Plans: Tested. BFP!

Due Date: May 28th


While I am obviously very happy, I was looking forward to spending a bit of time hanging out with you guys. Last time I was trying it took longer, but the month I joined in on TTGP was the one that I got my BFP so I feel kind of apologetic like I end up being a drive by. I also wanted to enjoy booze and caffeine with impunity for a couple of months since I just stopped BFing. That being said, I am super jazzed. I got a squinter with a Dollarama test yesterday and my husband wouldn't believe it because it was the first month. I asked if he needed me to blow $20 on a digital and he was all "No, don't be ridiculous!" After another squinter this morning he changed his tune to "$20 is really worth the peace of mind, isn't it?"

This will be my last baby, so I am just going to try to enjoy this.

@ jobub. Too much FF makes me crazy too.

Cycle/month: 8

Cd:DPO: 26/11

Timing: -3,-2 not great but FF says good.

Testing: I caved yesterday and bfn. Spotting a bit so not feeling hopeful. Gonna wait til Wednesday to test again if no AF.

RRCS: nah. I've begun to expect the negatives.

GTKY: my sweet Jenny is a tri color mutt.

Cycle/month: 1

Cd:DPO: 28/15 (ish, wasn't temping)

Timing: -1, +1, +3 (only included since my O is not definite)

Testing: AF was due on Sunday. I tested this morning and I think I had a BFP? It was the squintiest of lines. I should have taken a picture.I looked at it again a few hours later and didn't see much, so I'm starting to wonder if it was wishful thinking.

RRCS: Just annoyed about the nature of the test I took this morning. It didn't feel definitive enough. I bought a different brand and will retest on Wednesday if AF still hasn't come. If I am pregnant, due date is May 30th. I also feel the same way euphony feels - if this is a BFP I feel bad doing a drive-by this month. If AF does show up, you have taught me that temping isn't that big of a pain, so I will this month.

GTKY: No pets since living on my own. We had three dogs growing up and 5 cats over the course of my childhood.

[JoBub]

euphony congrats!

@kaybeeknits do you seriously have the willpower to wait 2 more days after a squinter? I'm impressed.

[honda13]

Can I go here? FF hasn't given me CH, but I'm 99% sure I go here now.

Cycle/Month: 1/1 after loss

CD/DPO: cd18/1dpo

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

Testing Plans: None right now

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: We gave it our all this cycle, so now we just wait and see. I feel so much pressure after our loss to get pregnant yesterday damn it!

GTKY:
We have 2 pomeranians. They are both white. One is 9 and he is old and cranky. The other is 3 years old and he is hyper as hell. He likes to terrorize the older dog.

[honda13]

euphony, congrats.

@kaybeeknits, so you got a squinter this morning? I'd be peeing on all the things!!!

[Deleted]

I'm just worried if I don't give it a few days to get the hcg up, I'll end up with another frustrating result tomorrow and waste more money.

I am currently living in France, so that is also frustrating because I know NONE of these brands ( @thatgolfbitch). The dye was kind of purple? I bought a different brand today (that was more expensive lol) so hopefully it is more clear? I think it is a pink dye test (based on the box), which I am hoping will help.

Thanks for all the positive energy and thoughts. Very much appreciated!

Cycle/Month: 1 TFAS

CD/DPO: cd15

Timing: -3,-1, O, 1 (not temping yet so this is an estimate based on previous FF patterns)

Testing Plans: Last round of TTC I was a chronic early tester. This time I will be on vacation during the early testing time so I'm going to try and hold out until we get home and wait for missed period.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Not charting yet. Easing into TTC. Last time it took us five months but we also weren't great about timing until the fifth month. I feel like we had pretty good timing this month but won't be super surprised/disappointed if it ends up taking longer.

GTKY:
We have two cats. One is a fat old mean lady and the other is a sweet tiny gal.

Congrats euphony!

@kaybeeknits with my first, I got a super squinter in the morning and then got a FRER after work and got a line. If you feel like going back to the store, look for the number on the test. Like 10mcg/ml (I think?) The smaller the number the more sensitive the test.

IIRC anything 25 or under is pretty good.

[agm04]

euphony congrats!

The one I got today is 25 sensitivity, which I was hoping was good, but checked the test I took this morning and it was also 25. Already spent 6euro, though, so I guess I'll wait.

IIRC, back when I got my first BFP, FRER were 25mcg/ml. If I were you, I'd test again in the morning with FMU. At this point, HCG rises quickly so one day should be enough to turn a squinter into a line. I understand the reasoning behind waiting. I just wouldn't have the willpower to do it.

Congratulations euphony!

[marshian]

Congrats, euphony!

@kaybeeknits - Fingers crossed for you. You have some serious willpower to wait!

Cycle/Month: 2


CD/DPO: 23/7


Timing: -3, O


Testing Plans: This Saturday. (Ok, I will probably waste some cheapies starting on Thursday, lets be real).


Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Nothing.


GTKY: Tell us about your pets! All past/present/future pets welcome. We recently had two turtles that escaped their outdoor enclosure. I was so sad. I saw a turtle crossing the road today as I was driving by, and I irrationally wanted to check and see if it was Franklin or Roscoe.

euphony, congrats!

@kaybeeknits, good luck!

Congratulations euphony!

@kaybeeknits, FX for a darker line soon!

[thelittleredm]

euphony, Congrats!

Congrats, euphony!

Here's hoping you are right, @kaybeeknits!

Neither of you should feel like you're drivebys. You both participated as much as you could in the time you had. We always hope you don't have to stay here too long!

My husband thinks I should wait until next Monday to retest. AYFKM, dude?

Honestly you even waiting a day is exhibiting self control I can't even begin to imagine. Lol.

It's not even really self-control! I agreed to wait this morning. Now he's trying to flip the script, and he's sorely confused.
