***TWW Monday***

[WVaRN]

Cycle/Month: 9/7

CD/DPO: 25/12 DPO

Timing: -3, -2, -1

Testing Plans: None Temp stayed up yesterday but noticed a spot of pink this morning.  I don't know if I'm spotting or I caused some irritation testing my new lunette cup. lol  It is probably spotting since it is usually when I start. 

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: First cycle temping vaginally.  My chart looks less rocky, so I guess that is better. 

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? Monkeys because they are so dirty. lol  

[Deleted]

CD/DPO:23/6

Timing:-2

Testing Plans:23rd, depending on chart

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Hoping this next week goes quickly. I have a few appointments, so hopefully that helps time move a little faster. I need this chaos to be over already.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo?Nothing in particular.

[peanutmuse]

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 23/11

Timing: -3, -2, -1

Testing Plans: I tested this morning, neg. (Of course, I got an evap line that made me a bit crazy. Oh well.) If I start spotting, I won't test again till Thurs or Fri. Otherwise, maybe Wed.

ETA: I just wanted to acknowledge that I tested today. I test so that I can adjust meds if necessary, but BFNs don't upset me. Just wanted to mention that. My period pisses me off, though, for several reasons.

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I feel nothing. No symptoms either way.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? Otters

[peanutmuse]

Burp.

Need coffee.

[bradysalon]

Thanks for starting adelbert!

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 25/9

Timing: -3, -2, -1

Testing Plans: Wednesday but I am feeling rather pessimistic.

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I've been pretty crampy... mild cramps but I never get cramps before my period comes. I usually get no sign that my period is coming.. (except for sore boobs but that lasts my whole LP). I am just much more aware of my body now that we are TTC so every little twinge or itch I overanalyze. I guess I am expecting some big sign that will tell me I'm pregnant because my mom always said "Oh, I just knew I was pregnant every time. I always felt pregnant when it happened." and the one that gets me "We didn't even have to try." Thanks Mom. I know she doesn't mean any harm- but I just try to steer clear of the subject. I guess only time will tell- cmon body- get it together

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? Hmmm the zoo really bothers me but thats the animal activist in me. I haven't been to the zoo since I was kid so I am not really sure anymore. Zebras are my favorite animal- do they have Zebras at the zoo?

I'm not sure how old your mother is, but I know that my mother never took a home pregnancy test because they didn't really exist in stores -- or if they did, they were expensive and people didn't really "do" that. So she would find out at the doctor's office when she was already like 8-9 weeks pregnant. So yeah, if you were 5, 6, 7 or more weeks pregnant, you probably would know. In general, it's not the same now as it was for our mothers.

[teambrink]

Crosshairs this morning! I go here now.

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/DPO: 23/3

Timing: pretty damn good

Testing Plans: none yet. I haven't been charting long so FF says wait until March 4th.

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I'm just excited to have solid crosshairs and have FAM and Advanced agree this cycle. Last cycle I had two possible O dates according to the settings.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? I have two favorites; elephants and tigers.

She is 65 so you could be right.  Never thought of it that way... still annoying when she refers to herself at fertile myrtle thouh.

Thanks for starting adelbert!

Cycle/Month: 5/5

CD/DPO: 33/11

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

Testing Plans: tomorrow

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I'm pretty proud of myself that I didn't cave and test this morning, but it's because I had a big temp drop so I'm pretty much telling myself I'm out.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo?
I love watching the penguins!

[Ray]

Lurking... Sry for the BFN peanutmuse

[mtnmomma13]

peanutmuse I know you said you're not upset...just wanted to say that's a bummer.

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 22/9

Timing: good

Testing Plans: this weekend

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: nothing much. I'm worried my bbt may be on the way out. It's taking a lot longer to register and I got a repeat temp. Oh well.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo?
The elephants. While I'm not a huge zoo fan I do love the wild animal park in San Diego!

[Sparkly]

Thanks for starting adelbert!

Sorry for the BFN peanutmuse (I know you said it doesn't bother you, but still).

limetintsmyworld, sorry for the temp drop but you're not out till you're out!


Cycle/Month: 2/4

CD/DPO: 24/4 (or 2)

Timing: High

Testing Plans: 10DPO for later O date, so Tuesday 2/24, if I make it that far

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Nothing to do but wait right now!

Separate rant: DD's sleep super sucks again lately and I'm having a really hard time with it.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? Hmm. I can't remember the last time I went to the zoo. We went to the aquarium in Bermuda this summer and really enjoyed watching the seals.

I hear ya. My mother used to tell me how much she hated being pregnant... after she knew I had been trying for over a year and had a miscarriage. Nice, mom. Real nice.

Interesting story. My mother had the first pregnancy-related ultrasound in my city when she was pregnant for me. She volunteered for a study and had all sorts of OBs, med students, and nursing students watching it. I was talking about it with the NP at my OB's office, and we did some quick calculations of timing and discovered that she (the NP) had actually been there watching it. Kind of neat!

ETA: I shared that story because it was so different from my experience with my first pregnancy. 19 ultrasounds! (I was high risk, FYI.)

[peanutmuse]

Thanks, ladies.

[mainewifey]

Cycle/Month: 16

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: Good

Testing Plans: No plans, pretty sure I'm out for this month.

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: FF took away my crosshairs with my temp this morning, but I didn't sleep well, so I discarded it. Plus, I had a little spotting Saturday, and today it's pretty close to being more than spotting. So it looks like that's it for this month, on to number 17. Unless I'm a person that has period-like bleeding with out ovulation, I'm pretty sure discarding the temp was a good choice.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? I love the small mammals like lemurs. I got bit by a wombat at a zoo once, but I still thought he was adorable.

[anonymouseliza]

Cycle/Month: 2 tfas

CD/DPO: 20/3

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, O

Testing Plans: around 10 dpo, probably

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I'm having a normal cycle! Last cycle was super long, probably b/c I'd let my health slide. Most cycles were abnormally long when we try before, which I think caused most of our troubles. I've been working hard to change things for the better and I'm so happy to see things working as they ought to do. I'm hopeful it means better hormone responses and hopefully better odds of healthy conception. We have so many things working against us post-conception that I would love this part to go easily.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo?
Elephants, obvs.

[onyx]

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/DPO: 18/5

Timing: good

Testing Plans: only if no AF

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: So far this morning had been good so non. I can't guarantee some ass hat or my body won't piss me off later though.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? Penguins. If they don't have penguins, it's not a worthy zoo.

[Deleted]

Cycle/Month: 7/7

CD/DPO:21/10

Timing: O day

Testing Plans: Tomorrow at gyn exam

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Temp spiked back up. My boobs hurt like hell and I don't want to get out of bed. I was asked to be a union rep at an HR meeting today.They expected the meeting to take an hour. FX the issue can be easily resolved.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? The butterflies.


Edit: I can't spell today.

[rlpointer86]

Cycle/Month: 9/11 (3/5 AL)

CD/DPO: 31/10

Timing: -3, -2, O +1

Testing Plans: tomorrow maybe?

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: My boobs hurt and I have some cramps. It snowed here and it's making me cranky.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? Tigers. Sometimes they are just sleeping but when they are moving around I think they are interesting creatures.

[Shellsncheese]

Cycle/Month:7

CD/DPO: 4 or 5

Timing: -3,O or -4, -1

Testing Plans: nada

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: first of all, school got canceled today because of the weather! Looking to see if it was canceled early this morning caused me to get an unreliable temp. Now my chart moves my dotted ch on CD13 to solid ch on CD14. Not sure what to think about that.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? I rarely get to see the Lions and Tigers because they're always hiding, so it's nice to get to see them. I also love the elephants.

How cool!!

[bradysalon]

Because everyone seems to be in a funk today.. PUPPIES

ETA: I give up

[juliayadda]

bradysalon, My mom never used them either 1977 - 1985 She once told me she didn't understand them, and thought people were just impatient... Oki doki mom. Love her! but seriously.

So FF is on crack... gave me cross hairs today. I will bet money I get my period on Wednesday.

CD: 27

DPO: 4 YEAH RIGHT!!!

TESTING PLANS: none, I do not know when I ovulated but it has been 2 weeks since successful insemination attempt.

RRCS: Do you agree with FF? I dont. I dont think there is enough of a shift. Maybe next month I will starts peeing on things to test for LH surges.

GTKY: I have never been to the zoo. I went to African Lion Safari which is like a zoo, but with huge cages you drive through. My favourite animal was the Emu. It was hilarious and got all up in our grill.

[mrss44]

Cycle/Month: 5

CD/DPO: 24/10

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

Testing Plans: Wednesday.

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I was feeling really optimistic about this cycle but I've had some bad cramps this morning.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? I love watching the giraffes

[singingsea]

Cycle/Month: 4

CD/DPO: CD22

Timing: Didn't chart or temp so no idea.

Testing Plans: March 1st.

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I got nothing.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? Penguins (even though they're stinky) and elephants.

[Ray]

FX so hard for you @wallflwr926 I will be lurking !!!

juliayadda - I don't really see a temp shift other than the one FF is possibly pointing out. I know my temp shifts aren't very big so it's possible - why the open circle this am?

[cateyes]

Cycle/Month: 16

CD/DPO: 30/6

Timing: -2

Testing Plans: Friday I think

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I feel like my O date may be off my one day. I will see how the numbers look, but based off previous 2WW patterns, this is my thought. But who knows, my body hates me….lol.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? I love watching the gorillas play!!! Favorite animal though is the penguins!

bradysalon-I agree with peanutmuse, times have changed. Our mothers knew they were pregnant because by the time they thought about it they were almost done with first tri! Most people on here know before the average person would so signs and symptoms are few. Sorry for the BFN.

mainewifey-Sorry for impending CD 1. I have had to discard a temp in the past for the same reason, FF is only a computer so it is wrong sometimes!


Shellsncheese-I wouldn’t worry too much about the one day adjustment. Looks like you have fine timing ether way.

juliayadda-I could agree with FF if the temps stay above your current one. I will be stalking you (even more) to see how this turns out!!!!

[rooskie]

Cycle/Month: 6/6

CD/DPO: 20/6

Timing: -4,-2,O

Testing Plans: I'm going to try not to this cycle

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: We're suppose to get 6-10 inches of snow today. I emailed my boss at 7 to see what the plan is and haven't heard back yet. I've been working from home since 6:30....I really don't want to go in...and we still haven't touched our driveway (and its 8 now)

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? The Cincinnatti zoo has a hippo that loves to swim and it is so much fun to watch him!

[cavewmninbrit]

Cycle/Month: 12

CD/DPO: 20/28

Timing: Who knows

Testing Plans: Feb 26th if nothing happens before

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I have been a bad bad girl... stopped temping, stopped charting, stopped taking OPK... I think I just had a case of frustration this month and now am paying the price because I don't have all the information I like. Will start again next month as we have now been put in the waiting line to be seen by an RE on the NHS.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? Red Pandas... Love those things!

[anustart]

Cycle/Month: 7/7

CD/DPO: 31/9

Timing: 3x

Testing Plans: None.

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I'm really upset. I always get high hopes and Sunday was really tough when I started spotting, after my huge dip Saturday (it has since rebounded). MH and I came up with a plan for what we will do if it doesn't happen within the year for us, which was everything. It's just nice to know he's all in, no matter what. However, he takes "20% chance" into account better than I do.

GTKY: What is your favorite animal to watch at the zoo? I went to this safari place in FL where we got to meet and hang out with different animals. My favorite was the lemurs - they jumped in our laps and cuddled up like they didn't want to leave! That, and their cute piggy snorting was adorable.
