GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory?

[abc531]

Cycle/Month: 7/6

CD/DPO: 24/10

Timing: Good

Testing Plans: Saturday if not before

RRCS: Temp went back up this morning, but I'm feeling all my typical PMS/cd1 symptoms so I'm not sure what to think.

GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory? I think my favorite isn't just one time, but something that happened on a regular basis. Singing with my mom, and it's still one of my favorite things to do. We sit down with a guitar and have a pretty big repertoire to pull from.

Also, not a memory but a story about my kindergarten interview. I was apparently asked "what does your daddy do?" to which I replied "the dishes".

Eta: Thanks for getting us started Ray!

Cycle/Month: 5/5

CD/DPO: 35/9 DPO but could be more DPO

Timing: Good

Testing Plans: I think I will test tomorrow morning and get it over with. I am really anxious because I am really hopeful this cycle.

RRCS: My boobies are massive right now, or at least they feel that way. My temp went up today so I am excited about that. My previous cycles have ended on CD 35/36 so I am getting nervous.

GTKY: what is your favorite/most special childhood memory? Cooking with my Mom. She taught me how to prepare a meal and I still use these skills today,

[negirl824]

Cycle/Month: 6

CD/DPO: 26/12

Timing: -4, -3, O

Testing Plans: Saturday

RRCS: DD slept better last night which means I did too! On another note DH is still working crazy hours so I only see him for about 5 mins in the morning before I go to work . He is also working straight through the weekend. The only day he has had off in the last 3 weeks was super bowl sunday.

GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory? playing ball in the yard with my brothers! We loved playing outside when we were kids. I think that is a huge difference with our generation and the current children, outside time is a foreign concept to some children.

[Deleted]

Cycle/Month: NA
CD/DPO: CD19/2DPO
Timing: -2

Testing Plans: Hopefully none

RRCS:I'm really freaking out. We're in no position to be getting pregnant financially or emotionally. I"m not sure what we'll do. I know I'm putting the cart before the horse here, but I"m freaking out nonetheless. However, no matter the circumstances, I can't help be excited that maybe I'll be pregnant and this one will stick.

GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory? My most special childhood memory...That's a tough one. Probably one of the times I got my brothers to do something incredibly stupid for my enjoyment. They were like pawns in my evil schemes. It was lovely.

[mustloveerica]

@led I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you and if you are pregnant that this will be your sticky.

[physiomeg]

Cycle/Month: 6/9

CD/DPO: 34/9 or 34/3 (FF is being weird)

Timing: eh or awful depending on O

Testing Plans: none

RRCS: ok I'm confused and could use a chartstalk...FF originally said I ovulated on CD 25 which is early for me, but the temps made sense and I had some O symptoms (sore breasts, cramping) right around that time. I've been spotting more and more since 6dpo which is very typical for me before my period. Based on my spotting today I'll likely be getting cd1 any day now. After this mornings temp, FF changed my ovulation day to CD 31. Why would I be spotting so much if it's only 3dpo??

GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory?
There's way too many to choose one. I had a very happy childhood with lots of fun and traveling.

[mustloveerica]

I'm gonna go here now even tho I don't have CH yet. After 8 cycles I'm pretty good at knowing when I O.

Cycle/Month: 8/8

CD/DPO: 16/1

Timing: we switched to EOD this cycle. It was so much more relaxing and we still managed to hit O, -2 and -4. Which statistically are like the best days right?

Testing plans: none currently. I don't test unless I'm late and I've never been late.

R/R/Cs: I'm just super grumpy and over my job right now. We need to have a baby so I can quit.

GTKY: when I was a kid my mom switched to "part time" she worked 6am to 2pm so she could be home when we got home from school. She would make huge batches of cookie dough and freeze it and make 6 cookies every day. Just enough for an after school snack for all of us. Walking into the house to the smell of fresh cookies is a huge memory for me. I want to do something like that for my kids some day :-)

[daisy818]

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 25/10

Timing: -1, +1

Testing Plans: Tomorrow night

RRCS: Last night my little sister called and told me I am going to be an aunt!!! She's just shy of 12 weeks along and aside from horrendous morning sickness (thank god they brought back the old bendectin) things are going well! EDD for her of Aug. 28. She told me they'd been trying for 5 months (she doesn't know I'm TTC so I had to be sneaky and vague in my questions).

GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory? When I was little (like 4 or 5) my dad and I would have "bedtime stories" - we'd sit on these little steps in our house (it was a tri-level, so lots of small steps) and he would teach me about all sorts of cool science stuff - absolute zero, light years, space, molecular motion, etc. When I was 6 our class went on a field trip to a chemical plant, and the engineers did a little presentation. One of them asked if anyone knew the definition of "cold" and I eagerly raised my hand. Instead of saying something like "Ice cream!" or "Snow!" like they typically hear, I said, "Cold is the absence of heat." I got to smash a tennis ball dipped in dry ice for getting the answer right!

[craftytype]

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: good

Testing Plans: Friday

RRCS: my temp went up a little bit this morning so still holding on to hope. My cycle was only 25 days last month and I'm starting to feel what could definitely be pre-AF cramping so just trying to just stay positive.

GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory? One of my favourite memories was being outside with my mom. She would tie a long skipping rope to the fence and stand there forever turning the rope so I could skip.

[Deleted]

Cycle/Month: 2
CD/DPO: 30/14
Timing: good

Testing Plans: if AF doesn't show today (i'm starting to feel like it will) then I'll test tomorrow AM. Got a BFN on Tuesday

RRCS: I got nothin'

GTKY: what is your favorite/most special childhood memory? When I was little my grandfather used to tell me stories about how Peter Pan would come to his window and take him and his brothers and sisters to Neverland. He was an amazing story teller and I was always captivated, and completely believed him! He passed away in November and I'm grateful to have those memories and many others.

Congrats on being an aunt soon daisy818! Being an auntie is so much fun!

[lilsneezy]

Cycle/Month: 18/19

CD/DPO: 28/7

Timing: Good

Testing Plans: None

RRCS: I had a decent temp drop this morning and I almost feel like I'm going to get my period. My normal LP is usually 14-16 days so not sure what to think. Hoping my temp goes back up tomorrow.

GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory? Every Christmas Eve, my brother and I would wait until my parents went to bed then we'd sneak around the house and look at our presents under the tree. Our house was a little creaky so we had this crazy way of getting out of our rooms and down the stairs without being heard. It was like Mission Impossible.

[peanutmuse]

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 19/7

Timing: -3, -2, -1

Testing Plans: Sunday

RRCS: I feel awful today. I am really nauseous, but sometimes my PNV does that, so...

GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory? I can't think of anything in particular. I have groups of memories, not just one specific time, but things that happened more than once. Like looking through couch cushions and laundry with my next door neighbor to find loose change -- we'd search for enough to order a pizza on our own for delivery. We'd find a coupon too. We were like 9 and 10.

[mrss44]

Cycle/Month: 5

CD/DPO: 20/6

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

Testing Plans: 2/18. 12dpo.

RRCS: Finally got a decent jump in temp this morning. But I was half awake/half asleep for 5 minutes before I took it. Hope that isn't why.

GTKY: what is your favorite/most special childhood memory? I remember going to Busch Gardens with my papa when I was young. I was too scared to ride the rides alone so he rode with me. He passed in 2004, still miss him everyday.

CD/DPO: 34/9 or 34/3 (FF is being weird)

There's way too many to choose one. I had a very happy childhood with lots of fun and traveling.

I agree that FF is being weird.  Looks to me like this is just a second rise in temps, which is common around 7-10dpo and known as a triphasic chart pattern (see FF Q&A for explanation).

Thanks for looking. I agree, I was expecting it to tell me that my chart was triphasic with today's temp. The thought of having almost completely missed my fertile window if the new O date is true has me so friggin emotional!

I'm at work attempting not to burst into tears and of course I have an intern who is literally my shadow all day so it's very difficult to get alone to compose myself.

I have no reason to be upset...I hate being irrationally emotional!

[anustart]

daisy818 Congrats on being an aunt!! It is an incredible thing.

Ever since my SIL got pregnant the first time, I've basically drilled her with baby and pregnancy questions. She's been an awesome source of information and insight. By now I think it's pretty obvious we are TTC but if she knows you want to be a mom someday she may not think anything of it.

[Deleted]

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 27/9

Timing: -2, O, +1

Testing Plans: V-Day.

RRCS: Temp stayed up today. Not really having any pre-AF symptoms yet, but we shall see. Just worried that I'll be stuck in TWW purgatory waiting for AF since this is only month 2 off BC.

GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory? This is a hard one. In general, I just loved hanging out with my older sister. We did everything together... ride bikes, play barbies, bake cookies with our mom.

Edit: Noob problems.  Thanks peanutmuse for the insight!

[mtnmomma13]

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 18/5

Timing: -3, -2, O

Testing Plans: next weekend if nothing

RRCS: nada

GTKY: what is your favorite/most special childhood memory?
It's not one in particular but every summer we'd vacation with my maternal grandparents. It was the only time we saw them because we lived across the country from them. For awhile when I was little I thought my grandparents had houses all over the country and EVERY ONE had a pool!

ETA: congrats daisy818, being an aunt is awesome!

It seems weird FF would change it since it doesn't appear you have any secondary signs (CM, OPK) to back it up. I wonder if it's considering the temps in your November charting.  If you go under charts management, cycle statistics, you can uncheck the box for FF to not include a chart in your stats.  I have no idea if this will work or is the right way to go since I'm new at this myself, but I guess it's worth a try to see what it does.

Hang in there!

Yeah, she knows that it's in the plan, so hoping to not set off too many alarms   I might have tipped my hand when I knew about MMR titers already though...

Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 27/13
Timing: -4, -3, -2, 0

Testing Plans: none

RRCS: pretty sure cd 1 is here. I'm spotting and that usually happens. Is spotting at the beginning of a period considered cd 1? I'm confused about because sometimes I spot 2 days before then 1 day without anything then I start my period.

GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory? I have so many it's hard to say. we have a ton of home videos and I love watching them.

I tried the above and no change...however when I switch from advanced to FAM it goes back to putting O at CD 25. Is that ok to do since I only have temps to go on?

Eta I'm mobile and can't easily fix my quote box fail

[mrsh82414]

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/DPO: 25/13

Timing: -3, -2, 0

Testing Plans: 6pm yesterday, inconclusive on dollar store cheapie
3am today, inconclusive on dollar store cheapie
7am with FRER, BFP!!

RRCS: ahh! I'm so happy : D I am trying not to get crazy with excitement bc the Line on FRER was light, but a line is a line. I will confirm with digital tonight bc I don't know if DH will believe a light line means positive. I honestly can't believe this happened in our first month of trying, but I believe it did bc of you amazing ladies. Had I never met you I never would have started temping, using fertility friend, tracking cm, or read TCOYF. It's so crazy to think there is a little baby growing inside me. I think it will become more real once I see it on the digital. If you'll have me I would still like to lurk and hang out with you ladies from time to time.

GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory?
Prob when my allstat cheerleading team went to nationals in Dallas for the first time ever. We got second place and we're stoked bc we didn't even know if we were good enough to make it to day 2 of the competition

[limetintsmyworld]

Cycle/Month:5/5

CD/DPO: 29/7

Timing: high

Testing Plans: 12dpo- Tuesday

RRCS: I need advice- I was invited to speak at a national convention which I feel is a huge honor and a great opportunity. However, the convention is at the end of Sept and would require a 2.5 hour flight and overnight stay. If I do get pregnant in the near future I could be pretty far along by that time. I know women travel while pregnant, but not knowing what situation I would be in at that time makes be nervous (for example, what if my doctor would recommend me not travel for some reason). They need my answer in the next few days. What would you do?

GTKY: what is your favourite/most special childhood memory? Playing with the kids down the street in the summertime! We would play kickball, go swimming, walk to the movies, play flashlight tag- it was amazing.

Lurking from WTDS and continuing the quote box fail - I think the missing temps from 21-24 are messing it up. If those temps were similar (and it seems likely they were) I think FF would've kept your crosshairs on CD25. According to FAM (3 over the last 5 or 6) you O'd on CD25. I think when you added extra data and had another point of 3 over the last 5, it moved them since it cannot be sure that the temps from 21-24 were low. I don't know if that makes sense. But FF is imagining the "what if" of you having a short spike in the missing temp window and going with the sure thing in the advanced mode. I think CD25 is right, though.

Rants/raves: I'm not happy. I have to work late today.

If I were you, I would go ahead and accept the invitation. If you do get a BFP soon and are worried about travel in third tri, then you can always let them know this and they can find another speaker (if it's something you'll fear regardless of complications or such, then tell them as soon as you can that you will need to cancel; if you want to give it a go and hope that you can still travel in third tri, still give them a heads up that you are expecting so they can maybe have a backup in their pocket).  Health/medical/family issues come up all the time that force a change in the speaker for an event, but saying no at this point guarantees that you miss the opportunity.
