GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? 4. Misspelling of simple words. "Alot" and using the wrong your or you're drive me bananas.
Testing Plans: BFNs so far, but still hopeful. Will test again 2/26 or 2/27.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: My temp usually drops by 12DPO, but this morning it went up which is slightly unusual for me this far into my LP. Its just one temp, I know, but I'm starting to feel a little hopeful. I'd like one ticket for crazy town please.
GTKY: 4. Punctuation outside quotes is especially irksome.
Testing Date/Plans: this morning, will again tomorrow just to be sure.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: looks like it wasn't an evap yesterday on the wondfo, there is a faint line on a frer. It isn't very dark and my temp went down a tad so I will be testing tomorrow morning hoping for a truly big fat positive. I don't think I quite believe it yet.
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? I'm going to say 4.5. One of the mistakes that drives me nuts is when people say conversation instead of converse.
Eta: Darn auto correct. It should be I do not like the use of conversate.

Cycle/Month: 4
CD/DPO: 10 dpo
Timing: -2, -1
Testing Date/Plans: my squinter yesterday turned into a BFP on a FRER this morning, so I'm heading over to first-tri!
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: raves: thank god I found you ladies and was able to learn so much! I had no idea about my cycle before being encouraged to temp and chart- DH and I would still be thinking my FW was around CD14 no matter what!
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? Your, you're
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: temp is slowly declining, I'm out for this month. Decided I'm taking a month off from temping, etc just to give myself a break from the stress.
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? I'm like a 3. No one is perfect but I hate when people can't use their, there and they're correctly. Or ask is pronounced aks. Those two grind my gears
Testing Date/Plans: Negative on a Dollar Store test this morning.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: My temp took a serious nose dive this morning. It gave me an open circle and I can't figure out why. It's not the time and I don't have any special signs marked. Any ideas? In other news, I've still not started my period but my temps are so low there is no way this is a viable cycle. So I guess that's that.
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? 4 and it's too early to think of what bothers me the most. Bad grammar bothers me the most.

Cycle/Month: 8/8
CD/DPO: 28/14
Timing: -4, -2,O
Testing plans: none
R/R/Cs: massive temp drop today. No spotting but with that temp I think AF is on her way. Here we go cycle 9 :-( this cycle I may start researching RE's since it's very hard to get appointments around here. Super depressing :-(
GTKY: 4.5. My boss just used the word irregardless. That's not a word people! It's a double negative. It's like saying not regardless STOP SAYING IT!!!
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: slow temp decline, so I'm just waiting for AF. I'm hoping she comes this weekend, otherwise my lp will be a little shorter than usual. Though not necessarily too short, I just want to be back to my pre-cp regularity
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? 4. Mostly the common, easy mistakes drive me crazytown. Their/there/they're, no/know, then/than, etc. Some of the local flavor is rage inducing as well- yous guys, them instead of those/these-"well yous guys know them cheese curds are the best dontchaknow"
Testing Date/Plans: I still haven't decided. Just hoping for a longer LP this cycle as my body gets back to normal after BC.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Nope.
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? I would say I'm a 4 on the rage scale. The one that bothers me the most is mistaking affect and effect, since I see it over and over again when reading things for my job. I also get really annoyed when people try to sound smarter by using "fancy" words, but then they use them incorrectly.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Big temp drop this am, so no testing for me The silver lining is that now DH and I can order a bottle of wine on our date-a-versary night out this weekend.
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? 0 - as a French major who studied abroad, I really appreciate everyone who was nice to me when I butchered their language. So I am trying to pay it forward. Now chewing loudly or with your mouth open? That's a whole different story ....
Testing Date/Plans: My plan was to wait until Sunday (10dpo) at the earliest. We might go to a hockey game Saturday though, so I might test in case I want a beer at the game. We'll see.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Nothing really. The closer I get to the implantation window of time the crazier my mind starts to become.
GTKY: 2-3ish. I don't mind so much if kids have grammar mistakes, but adults speaking/writing their first language I feel should know the basics. Your/you're and there/their/they're get me twitchy.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Nothing, just glad to be in TWW.
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? 4. To, Too, Two. Three very different meanings and words!!!!

Cycle/Month: 2
CD/DPO: 29/12
Timing: everyday in the fertile window
Testing Date/Plans: um. Yeah. See below
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: So, temp drop 9 dpo, recovery but lots of cramping + spotting + disappearing possible pregnancy symptoms 10 dpo, more spotting and temp drop below coverline 11 dpo. It equals I'm out, right? And that was a bummer which turned into "holy shit, thank God I'm not pregnant, dodged a bullet there," yesterday afternoon when I got some really shattering news at work. (Related to my boss, not me directly, but will affect me - possibly greatly)
Except the spotting stopped instead of increasing and I may have a faint positive test. It could be a dark evap. At this point I am just trying not to freak out and wait until something happens; either my period or a clearly positive test. Theoretically, my period should start today or tomorrow, normal l.p. is 12 dpo, but it's rare for me to have more than two days of spotting.
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most?
Repeated mistakes, rather than a clear autocorrect incident, make me about a 3/4.
Testing Date/Plans: Trying to hold out until this weekend. I only have one HPT in the house and it's digital, so that helps. I held off the temptation to go to CVS last night.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I've decided I have no idea-- even if I try to symptom spot, which I easily could because I have been feeling very off, I have no idea. Between exciting work things, then fight with DH this weekend, and now my FIL went into the hospital last night, my emotions have been on such a roller coaster, the stomach pains and cramps could totally be stress. So, I'm just hoping my timing was good enough and trying to wait it out. I will say if this is not the month, having cramps pretty much my entire LP is not cool.
GTKY: 4.5/5. I was a copyeditor. I am bothered by all the things. I'll share my two biggest pet peeves, though. One is when people are so excited they forget to use punctuation and capitalization because omfg i just need help and i wanted to tell this story and share every little detail about it but the excitement was too great i couldn't contain myself enough when typing it to be bothered to show that a thought actually ended and another began but i want you to read this in its entirety and comment on it and help me so can you help me out yousguys?
My other pet peeve is people making grammatical mistakes when trying to tell people how to use proper grammar. One was last week. She posted a contraction chart on FB and said, "ITS 2015 PEOPLE. LEARN YOUR GRAMMAR." I facepalmed. Then corrected her in the comments because I'm THAT guy.
Met 06/27/2004. Fell in love 09/30/2005. Adopted our pups 7/08 & 2/10. Bought a house 12/29/10. Married 10/8/11. TTC Baby #1 December 2014. BFP 4/16/2015 EDD 12/25/2015 DD Born 12/28/2015
meerkatmillie, thank you for remembering me testing today, I still have my fingers crossed for you.
Cycle/Month: 6/6
CD/DPO: 36/10
Timing: -2,-4
Testing Date/Plans: BFN this morning
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: temp drop this morning so assuming I'm going to be out.
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? I'd say a 3. I definitely notice bad grammar, but hardly ever call people out on it. I hate when people misuse their/there/they're
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: can I get a chartstalk? Got dotted CH this AM. Saying I O'ed before my positive OPK. Although I only have CD 18 marked as positve, I caught the surge and saw it steadily getting darker on CD 17 and declining on CD 19. I have never O'ed before a positive OPK- usually the day of or after. I know it's possible, but I am just confused because I never get more than one LH surge per cycle. The other thing throwing me off is that I have been sleeping horribly and open mouthed due to sinus issues. (I plan on vag temping next cycle but I didn't want to switch in the middle of a cycle)--So do I go by my temps, and FF's O date, even though they could be skewed? My timing is decent either way, but I would just like to know one way or the other. Thanks in advance: fertilityfriend.com/home/itsmeally
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? 4. They're, their, there drives me bananas.
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? 5. I will yell at the t.v. when there are grammar mistakes, which seems to occur at a higher rate lately. your/you're, have got (NO YOU DON'T!), who/whom, thru/through/threw, there/their/they're, irregardless (does not exist!)
Testing Date/Plans: BFN yesterday. Waiting for AF.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I got nothing.
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? 3.5ish Biggest peeves: when people use your, you're, there, their, they're incorrectly.
Testing Date/Plans: No idea. FF recommends March 10th.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I'm happy to get solid CH. I'm really hoping they stick and don't move around. Even if this isn't our cycle, I'm pretty happy. If these CH stay it'll be the earliest I've O'd since charting and I'm hoping it means my cycles will start getting a bit shorter than the 40+ they have been more often than not.
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? 3ish. I really dislike the misuse of 'could care less vs couldn't care less'. Mispronunciation doesn't bother me unless I think the person is just lazy. (MH has a slight speech impediment which makes pronouncing things difficult for him so I'm fairly sympathetic when people have issues) The wrong their/there/they're bothers me. I admit I stink at apostrophes with its, it's, etc.

I think FF looks right. Your chart is really rocky. Do you temp orally? If so, you might consider switching to vaginal temping.
Congrats ashleymarie26 and teambrink. A line is a line! I'm hoping you get the answer you want over the next couple days anonymouseliza. Hugs to those who are out.
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 23/7
Timing: -3 -1
Testing Date/Plans: ~CD29. The more I think about it the more I know I'll cave and test sooner.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: temps still high so we will see how everything looks the next few days.
GTKY: Depends on the context. The one thing that always bothers me is people using the wrong word. There, their, they're, are, our, to, too, where, were. I want to correct everyone when I see that.
meerkatmillie, I think your chart is pretty My fingers are crossed for you!
Cycle/Month: 5/5
CD/DPO: 27/6
Timing: not good, -3 and +1
Testing Date/Plans: Monday 11 DPO
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Last week I saw someone say that symptoms and temps don't really mean much until 7DPO so I keep telling myself that and it is making me more relaxed (plus our timing sucked so there's that).
GTKY: On a scale of 1-5, how much does bad grammar make you rage? What grammar mistake bothers you the most? I'm at a 1 or 2. I notice it but it doesn't really bother me. Except that my employee always used to type 'gotta' instead of 'gotcha' and for some reason that drove me crazy.

@led Yes in my post I wrote that I temp orally and have been mouth breathing due to sinus issues, plan on vag temping next cycle . Thank you for looking.
