Cycle/month: 2
CD/DPO: 19/5
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1, +1
Testing Plans: Trying to wait until the weekend.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I woke up today so nauseous, dry heaving hardcore, and just feeling like absolute shit. I know it's too early for symptoms so if I get the stomach flu I am going to be pissed.
QOTW: What's your favorite fast food establishment? Chocolate Factory Subs
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Is it worth it to pay for FF? My free trial ends soon. Also, today FF changed the date it thinks I O'ed, but I woke up yesterday sick. So I'm not sure if it's because I O'ed later than it thought, or if it's because of the bug I caught.

Cycle/month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 18/5
Timing: Pretty okay... I started the cycle trying the SMEP, but DH was tired one day, I think I misread an OPK as negative when it was positive, and I O'ed a few days early, so it wasn't as good as I'd hoped but we still hit -3,O, +1.
Testing Plans: I try not to test until AF is late, but if there are any obvious symptoms, I won't test until 4/16 (11 DPO).
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I just had an awesome birthday weekend so it's hard to come back to reality. The festivities did help keep my mind off the mindfuck that is the TWW. I also enjoyed birthday cocktails a bit more knowing that I could be giving them up for a while. On a sadder note, I lost my 'adopted' grandfather on Friday--he's not blood related, but served in the role of grandfather since my bio ones died when I was young. He was 103 and lost his wife 3 years ago, so he was ready to go. But here's the crazy thing, he passed on my birthday, and I've been planning to name a boy after him. So, part of me hopes, albeit crazily, that perhaps we'll GKU as a karmic re-balancing of the world without him. Totally irrational, but that's what I've got today.
QOTW: What's your favorite fast food establishment? While I hate their politics--I do love Chic Fil A's waffle fries.

leekpartyof2, I am so sorry for your loss. That would be a beautiful tribute and I will sit on your bench with 100% getting on board with karmic re-balancing the world. I am keeping everything crossed that this is your month.
CD/DPO: CD18 I think, my brain is foggy from a cold.
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1
Testing Plans: Who knows. I'll probably get antsy around 10DPO.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I'm still waiting on cross hairs, but looks like I O'd on Saturday. At my monitoring appointment I had 5 follicles and my RE said 2-3 would probably be mature at ovulation. I had two temp spikes and today's was huge. I'm wondering how much is due to multiple follicles (which I've had before without such a dramatic spike) and how much is my body fighting off this cold.
QOTW: What's your favorite fast food establishment? Chipotle for sure!
Testing Plans: I tested this morning because my temp is still up, got a BFN! Booo looks like no 2017 babe for me. Af should arrive promptly on schedule tomorrow.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: See above. FF also changed my af date until Thursday bc I o'd later than normal. doubt that's going to happen I already feel period crampy.
QOTW: What's your favorite fast food establishment? Taco cabana, yum if I only I still lived in Texas! I would def go there today and get me a margarita!

Lurker....
@auri I never paid for FF and didn't find it necessary. I don't think the paid version would help distinguish illness with your temps. You can just overlay charts and it will tell you when to test.

Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I know 10 DPO is early, but there isn't even a possible hint of a squinter. I'm feeling out and trying not to get upset about it. I know 2 cycles isn't long at all, but going from not trying to thinking we were going to have 2U2, to the total mindfuck that is TTC again, it's just weighing on my a lot right now. It's always hard to watch that age gap stretch. Sorry, pity party over.
QOTW: What's your favorite fast food establishment? Chipotle or Panera is about as fast food as I get. I do like drinks from sonic.
ajetter don't be to hard on yourself! TTC is def a mind fuck. I get you completely on the age gap, when I first started it was 2.5 year gap, now it's over 3 and it's sad but unfortunately not much I can do about it. Just gotta have hope you'll get pregnant soon.
ajetter Sorry you're feeling down. I can't imagine how it would feel to go through all of that. Hopefully you’ll be off to a BMB soon! And if it makes you feel any better I've read a lot of posts where people have complete negatives at 10 DPO and go on to get a positive a few days later. You're not out until you're out;)
I got faint lines on two wondfos in a row this morning. But then I took a walmart cheapie, and it had been like 20 minutes and my urine was cold so I don't know if that affects it, but it was stark white. Are walmart cheapies less sensitive than wondfos? I really don't want a second month of false positives, especially two in a row.

Wonfo hpts are notorious for false positives. Letting the urine sit for 20 minutes won't change anything. I'm not sure where the wondfos test at, but the Walmart cheapies are at 50. The dollar store ones are at 25, so if you have the option you might try those. Good luck!

If the wondfos do it to me again, I'm never going to use them again. I'm glad you said the walmart ones are at 50 so that gives me hope. Today would be 8 dpo if I'm actually pulling a positive.
@cacophony, are you going to get a FRER?! I would. FX!!
I have a test and confirm one I bought last month and never used. I'm going to hold my pee til this afternoon and try another wondfo. Wondfo burned me last month so I don't want to waste a FRER if its false positives. I'm nervous. If there's still another line at lunch I'll take the FRER tomorrow morning probably.

Any TFAS ladies have insight on possible implantation cramping? Since last night I've been having periodic pinching/stabbing cramps. Mostly in my left side, although they do seem to radiate just a little above my belly button. They're pretty mild and sort of just come and go. No spotting and my temp rose today, so I'm assuming it's nothing. Just thought I'd check since they're very different than regular AF cramps.

The only way to know is hindsight. And even then it may be total coincidence. Take a step back and just wait a few days.
I took another wondfo this afternoon on a 5 hour hold and it was definitely negative. And I peeked back at the two this morning and they had faded and were harder to see than this morning. So two false positives in a row? Jeez. I'll just wait a fee days and see.
I wanted to respond more yesterday, but I'm terrible at mobile tagging. Sorry about my emotional word vomit yesterday. Apparently I get on here and let it all out.
@cacophony, sorry about the false positives. Those wondfos are definitely being a jerk to you. Hopefully in a few days you wind up with a true positive.

Didn't you have the same problem last cycle? I'd throw that batch out if I were you...
