Congrats craftytype! I remember you mentioning you'd probably be putting TTC on hold after this cycle like MH and I might be and you mentioned that maybe this would be our lucky cycle. Hopefully I follow suit.
It looks like CD1 for me guys. This cycle I'm only going to lurk. I'm not going to temp or OPK since we will be on vacation through my FW. So we are going to just have fun this month an not stress out on trying to hit a time frame. Good Luck everyone and So happy there are BFPs today!!
RRCS: so, I caved this morning and decided to test on a grocery store cheapie. I was disappointed when I opened the package to see that it was a blue dye test. Anyways, I went ahead a used it and immediately a faint 2nd line appeared. I was in such disbelief because I didn't really think it was going to happen for us this month and then I couldn't accept it totally because it was blue dye. I used a FRER later this morning and BFP!
I'm so happy. Even though we had decided to pause TTC after this cycle (we learned mid-cycle that my DS surgery date will be in the summer so we had decided to postpone TTC for a few months) I was so concerned about pausing since I am already AMA.
Congrats to you too!
There have been a lot of BFPs in this thread this week.
Sorry about the CD1s, guys. FX you'll end up back here with BFPs soon!
Cycle/Month: 7s
CD/DPO: 28/6
Timing: 3x in FW and we didn't stress so either way I'd call it a win
Testing Plans: I'd expect AF next Wednesday so I'll try waiting till then.
RRCS: I was glad to see my temp head way up again after a .3F drop yesterday in what I believe was my Corpus Luteum dip. Knowing that's normal for me to have keeps me off the crazy train (5DPO is too early for anything). It's Friday, errybody!!
GTKY: What is your drink of choice? I love champagne, prosecco, strong mimosas, Cab and Malbec. And Rumchata and Bailey's. Also, dark craft beers ever since I started drinking black coffee. And sooo much water!

GTKY: What is your drink of choice? I only drink 3-4 times a year so usually cherry diet coke or cherry dr pepper. If I drink it's likely run in one of those, mic ultra, or moscato. We are going to a fancy fundraiser tomorrow with free booze so I have to pick wine or beer.
RRCS: feeling emotional and pessimistic today. I know we haven't been trying that long, but I'm starting to feel like something is wrong with me. My friends IRL don't understand bc they're either not trying yet, or if they have kids, they got pregnant in a month or two. My poor hubby has been stuck with trying to keep my spirits up while dealing with his own disappointments. I just wish it was easier. Oh, and I also feel like I got hit by a truck...that isn't helping me this morning.
GTKY: What is your drink of choice? In the winter red wine, in the summer it's gotta be a homemade orange crush (only at certain bars). I think orange crushes may be a local thing where I'm at though...I've been other places and they haven't heard of them.
Thanks for starting bradysalon - also, ask and you shall receive....
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 28/10
Timing: -2, O, +1
Testing Plans: Caved and tested last night (squinter!). Tested this morning and BFP!!!!!!!!!!!
What we did: sex EOD during FW with the help of BBT and OPKs. I also ate a ring of pineapple/core per day from 4dpo on. Could have been mere coincidence, but who knows.
EDD: October 24th my LMP.
Symptoms: from 4dpo through 6dpo, I had cramping. Not normal pre-AF cramping, felt more like pinches or pricks. From 6dpo, backache and bloated. From 8dpo, burning sensation in my boobs, tired, thirsty and frequent urination. From 9 dpo, nausea starting to kick in.
How I told H: nothing spectacular. He came in the bathroom with me to look. He didn't seem as excited as me because the 2nd line was lighter, but I told him a line is a line!
The mushy stuff: I couldn't thank you amazing girls enough for all the support, wisdom, and snark. I would not be in this position without you as I had no clue what I was doing when I started lurking on TD three months ago. You ladies are the best!! Good luck to each and every one of you and I hope to see you all on the other side soon!

I'm so glad to have spent the last three months learning from you all and sharing ups and downs with you. I wish you all the absolute best.
GTKY: What is your drink of choice? Wine. I guess I'm going to have to find something else.
GTKY Malibu rum with pineapple juice and splash of cranberry. I think its called sea breeze ...but when I'm feeling happy I'll go for a cactus cooler shot!
RRCS: hubby is gone for valentines and probably not back until midnight Monday, which is his birthday. I have been holed up in my house with a hurt ankle for a week now and am going a little crazy. Can't wait to get back to work next week, even though I just found out I've been cut to 2 days a week.... Brutal!
GTKY: What is your drink of choice? Ceasers without a doubt, a little bit of pickle juice in there just makes it perfect! Mmmm. 5'oclock yet?

Cycle/Month: 16
CD/DPO: 8
Timing: Excellent
Testing Plans: Depending on temps CD 12 maybe
RRCS: 1st month charting, and I'm obsessing too much. Depending on what we do for fertility treatments next month I might not continue. How stupid is it that I keep having to tell my self that charting does not make you pregnant. We've had sex pretty much the same amount as always, it's unlikely that we've missed my fertile window much over the past 16 months, and I still can't get it out of my head that seeing those cross hairs = better chances this month.
GTKY: What is your drink of choice? Beer. Brown ales
Edited because I'm a selfish B: Congrats @jmmckean12 and craftytype
Cycle/Month: N/A (we were TTA and had a condom break for the first time in 15 years)
CD/DPO: 20/3
Timing: -2
Testing Plans: 24th or 25th depending. I almost always have spotting first, so I'm hoping I don't have to bother.
RRCS: I'm still freaking out. I feel foolish thinking that one slip up is going to do it, but weirder things have happened. We are absolutely not in a place to get pregnant right now and all my meds will for sure be a problem and are not safe to take while TTC or pregnant. So that just makes me even more worried. I wish I could take hormonal BC, but I can't. So while I know I did what I could I feel like it obviously wasn't enough. Gah! I have already talked to my PCP about it (she's family practice) so she said if I am pregnant she will get me in right away and we can get the ball rolling with whatever needs to be done. So that's given me a little piece of mind. I'm just struggling with if we should let things happen and have such a just risk of limb malformations (because of meds) and miscarriage (because of history) or if we should go ahead with some sort of special treatment that may or may not work, will cost and arm and a leg, and take us from broke to completely in the red in a small hope to save the baby. I don't know. I mean, I want a baby so bad. I just wish it wasn't happening like this. And I still only have like a 20% chance of there even being a baby! ugh. So much to think about. I need to just calm down about it all and keep myself busy for the next few weeks.
tl;dr- I'm freaking out.
GTKY: What is your drink of choice? Whiskey and lemonade typically. But right now rumchata in my coffee is really good.
RRCS: feeling emotional and pessimistic today. I know we haven't been trying that long, but I'm starting to feel like something is wrong with me. My friends IRL don't understand bc they're either not trying yet, or if they have kids, they got pregnant in a month or two. My poor hubby has been stuck with trying to keep my spirits up while dealing with his own disappointments. I just wish it was easier. Oh, and I also feel like I got hit by a truck...that isn't helping me this morning.

This is me...do explain - they sound good! If its any consolation the first time I was on here talking about Caesars no one really knew what I was talking about. I didn't realize it was a Canadian thing lol.

I was actually wondering what Caesars are myself haha. So it's fresh squeezed oranges (usually like 4 halves squeezed with a citrus press) sprite and citrus vodka. Soooo yummy and refreshing they are my fav in the summertime! We have a bar nearby right on the water that makes the best ones! After a day out on the boat they are the best
