Good morning! Didn't see this yet so I thought I'd get it going.
Cycle/Month:
CD/DPO:
Timing:
Testing Plans:
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks:
GTKY: Tell us about one of your particularly embarrassing or scandalous moments relating to sex. Does not have to be with or about your current partner/SO/DH.
Testing Plans: 10DPO if I make it that far (8 day LP last cycle)
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Chart stalk? Now that I have 3 high temps since Saturday (what I think was O day), if I take away the "peak" advanced OPK last Wednesday, I get solid CHs for CD22. I feel like that's the only thing making FF say CD20. I know it happened, but it seems to be confusing things. What say you, GKU?
GTKY: Okay, I was kind of slutty in college and always socially awkward, so there are a few stories I could share. Here's one both scandalous and embarrassing: When I was a freshman, I had 3 prospective students staying with me one weekend. My sorority was hosting an 80s party so I took them. I obviously got drunk and went home with the guy I'd been hooking up with. He had a twin brother. They were roommates. We ended up having sex on the top bunk, with his brother on the bottom. I told him to use a condom, but I'm pretty sure we were both too drunk to follow through on that and I was so paranoid for weeks that I might be pregnant or have an STD. (I wasn't and didn't.) I shared all details of this drunken escapade with my prospectives. All 3 ended up at our school. I like to think I helped.

Cycle/Month:
Cycle/Month: 7
CD/DPO: 21/4
Timing: Meh. -4,-2,0,+1
Testing Plans: none
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Probably won't do EOD next cycle. We're not that kind of people.
GTKY: Tell us about one of your particularly embarrassing or scandalous moments relating to sex. K not related to DH: I puked on someone's dick while trying to give head. Too much of a gag reflex back then.
Testing Plans: I was planning to hold out, but now I just want to test all the days. I'll probably start at 10 or 11 dpo. This is probably going to be my last chance to test, so I want the excitement/anticipation.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I'm feeling pretty down about this whole thing again. I've been drinking way too much trying to cope which is just making my meds not work very well and making everything that much worse. So I need to stop that. But it's just such a mind fuck, this whole thing. I want a baby so badly it hurts. I hate this.
GTKY: Tell us about one of your particularly embarrassing or scandalous moments relating to sex. Does not have to be with or about your current partner/SO/DH. Other than abuse related I don't really have any that I can think of.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Temp dipped again pretty low. I'm not losing optimism.
GTKY: Tell us about one of your particularly embarrassing or scandalous moments relating to sex. Does not have to be with or about your current partner/SO/DH. In college I made out with two guys in the same night. I was friends with one but he fell asleep so I went downstairs to wait for my roommate who was hooking up with the guy's roommate. I started to chat to with their super hot roommate and next thing you know I'm hooking up with him. Of course, this is when my roommate tries to leave. She doesn't realize it's me and sneaks out the door. I realize she has my keys, so I have to quickly grab my bra and bolt out the door after her. To add to it, the roommate she was with is walking her home. Not my finest moment.
Edit: Everywhere I typed "hooking" the word UP was supposed to come next. That's just great. Why does my autocorrect hate me so much?

..lurking... I think CD22 is most likely - all your temps before that look to be in pre-O range to me
Edit: stuck in text box
Edit 2: also wanted to give hugs to @led, I'm sorry this is being rough on you thinking about you and sending you positive non-asshole-body vibes your way

I have every single part of my body crossed for you!!!! keep us updated! (I'll be back on at recess to check back in!) ....back to lurking....

Thanks! I also tried discarding a couple of the super low temps (which were taken at weird times and after very little sleep because of my trip) and that moves CHs too. I definitely think it was CD22. All my secondary signs point to that day.
ETA: Apparently I had it set on Research to do that, Advanced moves it back to CD20.... whatever I know O was CD22. I'm leaving it.
Testing Plans: none yet. I have a bachelorette party on Saturday and it will be too early to test for drinking so that sucks!
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: nothing chart related today. I had some weird dreams last night though. One included getting a BFP way too early.

Cycle/Month: 2
CD/DPO:21/4
Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, O
Testing Plans: 10 dpo or so
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalk: meh. Waiting to find out if new job is posting. Anxious to get this going. Worried something will fall through. Also been having weird cramps/pains that I'm assuming relate to corpus luteum, which goes to illustrate why ov pain is not a reliable secondary sign. Finally, I'm worried I'm getting a yeast infection, which does not please me. Hope I'm wrong and/or yogurt does the trick.
GTKY: Tell us about one of your particularly embarrassing or scandalous moments relating to sex. Does not have to be with or about your current partner/SO/DH.
Don't have many scandalous moments, really. Or many embarrassing ones. The first time I gave a blow job, I went too deep, gagged and threw up on DH. That was embarrassing. I also remember making out with DH in the parking lot at our college, and we were really into it when a bus filled with middle school students pulled up and a chaperone popped out and came up to us and said, "Hey, I'm really sorry to interrupt your making out, but could you please tell us how to get to the basketball arena?" I remember being very embarrassed then.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Probably won't do EOD next cycle. We're not that kind of people.
GTKY: Tell us about one of your particularly embarrassing or scandalous moments relating to sex. K not related to DH: I puked on someone's dick while trying to give head. Too much of a gag reflex back then.
Hahahaha...that is an awful and great one all at the same time!

Cycle/Month: 8/8
CD/DPO: 21/6
Timing: o, -2, -4
Testing plans: none
R/R/Cs: eh. I don't have high hopes for this cycle. I know I'm only 6dpo but I don't know. I guess I'm just pessimistic about TTC now. Moving to cycle 9 is going to be heart breaking if im not KU this cycle.
GTKY: I can't really think of anything. I guess I'm pretty vanilla lol.
CD/DPO: 24/12 (or maybe 24/11 -- doesn't matter much either way)
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing Plans: IF I don't have spotting and IF my temp goes back up, I will test tomorrow. Otherwise, no.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Nope.
GTKY: During my first time, my then-boyfriend's brother walked in on us. I have had this happen a few times over the years, but none were worse than the very first time. It's comical now, though, since it was *gulp* 21 years ago.
I'm still here... why can't CD1 just get here already?!
Cycle/Month: 16
CD/DPO: 27/12
Timing: great
Testing Plans: Absolutely none
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Still just spotting... I showed H my chart last night and he said it looks bad. LOL. He's never seen a BBT chart before in his life. I mean, yeah, it's not pretty but sheesh!
GTKY: Tell us about one of your particularly embarrassing or scandalous moments relating to sex. Does not have to be with or about your current partner/SO/DH When he was in college I went to visit him. We were going to get it on in his dorm and I turned around for some doggy style, and I had a square of toilet paper stuck in my butt crack. It was sticking out and waving around like a freaking white flag. Yep, that was embarrassing.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I am so upset today. On top of DH getting into an accident and having to pay our deductible and getting a huge plowing bill, I just got a bill for my CD3 BW from the RE - $1,400 due. The total amount billed was $8,200 which makes zero sense to me. I called and left a message for the RE asking how BW could cost $8,200. When we first went in, we thought insurance would cover nothing, they gave us a list of cost for every procedure possible and nothing was even close to that amount. I am anxious to get a call back today.
GTKY: Tell us about one of your particularly embarrassing or scandalous moments relating to sex. Does not have to be with or about your current partner/SO/DH. I can't think of anything right now. I am not a very scandalous person when it comes to sex so maybe that is why, or maybe my brain is just fried from stress
Me: 28, all tests normal DH: 34, very low count, motility, morphology DX - MFI 11/14/09 - Married 01/01/14 - TTC #1 01/06/15 - Started working with RE 04/06/15 - Recommendation - straight to IVF w/ICSI 09/04/15 - Started working with new RE Nov/Dec 15 - IVF w/ ICSI #1 - 11R/8F - 1 transferred, 3 frozen
rufus426 -- if they gave you a list of cost for procedures, I am guessing that it didn't include all of the peripherals (bloodwork, ultrasounds, etc.). But that's still pretty shitty if they knew you were paying out of pocket to not disclose all of the info with you. GL!

It did actually list everything and even if I add up every bloodwork test they could run, it is around $2,500, not $8,200. I am hoping there was a mistake when they billed, but who knows. We have savings to pay for it, I just wasn't expecting it, so I am frustrated

Cycle/Month: 7, going on 8
CD/DPO: 32/10
Timing: -5,-2, O
Testing Plans: Nope
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Spotting for the 4th day in a row. If CD1 comes (it will), I hope it holds off till tomorrow so I can keep a decent LP. I plan to drown my sorrows in any kind of alcoholic beverage.
GTKY: Tell us about one of your particularly embarrassing or scandalous moments relating to sex. Does not have to be with or about your current partner/SO. Most embarrassing was probably when my FB lost the condom inside of me and then had to go deep sea diving to fish it out.

If they listed everything, you should be able to match it up and figure out where the discrepancy is, right? That's what I would do, go line by line for each piece of the blood work.
Because we have 20% co-insurance, I go through every single requisition for blood work with a fine toothed comb. While I was pregnant, they tried to blood type me on 6 different occasions. Hello, my blood type does not change. There is no need to do this more than once, unless I have a bone marrow transplant or something. I would see it on the requisition and demand that it be removed and informed them that my blood type could be found in my chart.

Gotcha. I am spoiled by being able to access my medical records through my online chart. Good luck with your chat with the RE! Hopefully it will be cleared up for you.

Testing Plans: waiting for AF
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Nothing really. My boobs hurt, my back hurt, I have cramps. I'm a little on the cranky side.
GTKY: Tell us about one of your particularly embarrassing or scandalous moments relating to sex. Does not have to be with or about your current partner/SO. Nothing. Apparently my sex life hasn't been very exciting.

Hugs @led and FX @wallflwr926 !
Cycle/Month: 5/5
CD/DPO: 34/12
Timing: high
Testing Plans: I broke down and tested yesterday after work on a wondfo and think I got the faintest line, so I retested this morning and got the same thing. These lines were painfully light but definitely under the 5 minute time frame. I think I remember reading somewhere that wondfo pregnancy tests aren't the best so I'm trying not to drive myself crazy. Also debating in whether to use a FRER tonight or wait another day or two...
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: see above
GTKY: Tell us about one of your particularly embarrassing or scandalous moments relating to sex. Does not have to be with or about your current partner/SO/DH. I can't really think of anything!
