Happy Tuesday!
Cycle/Month: 8
CD/DPO: 34/18
Timing: -2
Testing Date/Plans: where the fuck is my period? I got another bfn two days ago. I'm on 18 dpo. 18! Wtf. I'm mad now that I stopped temping because I was expecting AF.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: see testing plans lol. But come on- let's get this show on the road.
GTKY: What was your first job? Part time retail at a big box. I helped people with finding sizes and checking prices, put away returns and fitting room crap, and generally developed a hatred of people.
Seriously though- I still hate it when I see piles of clothing on the floor of a fitting room.

Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 21/4 (I think)
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing Date/Plans: probably Sunday bc I don't have to work. I'll be either 9 or 10DPO which is early but with my last pregnancy I did get a BFP at 9DPO so I'm gonna try again.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I'm kicking myself for not using OPK twice a day. First positive I got was the morning of CD16.... Surged until afternoon of CD17. Only problem is I don't really know when the surge started. Morning of CD15 was a negative, but now I'm reading that LH surges don't start until later in the day so for all I know it did start on CD15. So I guess it's possible I could have actually O'd on CD 16? I guess my timing is good either way. If anyone has insight I'd love to hear it.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Temp dropped this morning. Still above cover line, but I don't usually really have a tank in temperature until after my period actually starts. I'm crampy, I'm totally out. Just waiting to start over. Great timing too. I'm teaching the menstrual cycle to my eighth graders today. Figures.
GTKY: What was your first job? Age 14, answering phones and food prep at a local pizza joint. Got paid under the table. It was a good first job. I was there pretty much until my junior year of high school when I needec something that paid more

Thanks for starting, @metalmoliver!
Cycle/Month: 13/14
CD/DPIUI: 25/12
Timing: Good
Testing Plans: In 48 hours... Not that I'm counting. And not that I'll know results until Friday anyway.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Still not sure how I'm feeling this cycle. Kind of blah. Not out, not hopeful. Some minor twinges (I guess, definitely not cramps), and I'm bloated. Excessive amounts of watery CM (excessive for me for this time of my cycle). Really hoping I didn't gear up to O but never did. Waste of an IUI and lots of $$ if that's the case. But my temps are consistent with my normal post-O temps, so... Who knows what's going!
GTKY: What was your first job? I worked the jewelry counter part-time at Kohl's for the Christmas season my senior year in high school

GTKY: What was your first job? A camp counselor
Also, the start of your surge does not guarantee when you o. This was my first cycle temping. My surge started on 23 cd and I didn't o until 26. If I had not been temping, I would have assumed I o'ed earlier.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: So I've been calling this my positive cycle. As much as possible, I've been thinking and speaking as if I have no doubts that it will work. Today my temp went up instead of down, and I realized that for all of my positivity, I wasn't really letting myself hope. Well, my hopes are so high now. (although, I'm getting some cramping. Don't love it. This hope is fragile.)
GTKY: What was your first job? Working at my grandfather's law office.
Testing Date/Plans: Maybe Sat. I might be going out with DH so drinks might happen.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: My boobs hurt and I know it is too early for any pregnancy symptoms. I need to put my wallet away and not buy a ticket for the crazy train!
GTKY: What was your first job? Babysitting was my first job, My first "real" job was store associate at American Eagle Outfitters.
I'm sorry you ladies feel out this cycle cnf2013 and roastytoasty. ((HUGS)) Good luck tomorrow dke2010! Good for you for having a positive attitude squeakyduck, I need more of that!
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Crampy, headache, and tired. So basically PMS. I wish my period would just start so we can start over. This cycle was a complete mess.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: New dog means I'm getting up at a different time than previously, so my temps may be inaccurate. Oh well, whatever.
GTKY: What was your first job? Every summer, from 13-15 yrs old, I filed stuff in the office of dad's factory. He paid me less than minimum wage! It was pretty boring and I had to go to work with my dad at 5:30 am, thus I learned how to drink coffee in that place.
Testing Date/Plans: where the fuck is my period? I got another bfn two days ago. I'm on 18 dpo. 18! Wtf. I'm mad now that I stopped temping because I was expecting AF.

I haven't read the thread so I hope this hasn't been covered, but looking at your chart, I'd say that CD22 looks more likely for O, based on temps (and it appears that you stopped taking OPKs before then so maybe you missed a second surge). With that said, you'd only be 12DPO right now. Just my two cents.
Testing Date/Plans: I was going to test yesterday morning, but I'd had a stomach flu since Saturday. Felt better this morning and tested - BFP! Checked on both a FRER and a Clearblue Digital with the weeks estimator.
No symptoms whatsoever, which is pretty consistent with when I was pregnant with my daughter.
I know that I haven't been here for very long, but I love this community and how helpful and funny everyone has been. Hopefully it's okay for me to keep lurking from the N15 board!
GTKY: What was your first job? I was a "crew trainer" at McDonald's. Basically that just meant I was the only teenager at our store who reliably showed up for 6am shifts on Saturdays and Sundays. Nerd alert!
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Have some spotting today. Odd post-O, pre-period spotting began last cycle and I guess it's here again.
GTKY: What was your first job? First under the table job was babysitting, first "real", complete with W4 form was a collection agency in college that sucked exactly as you imagine it to.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I really don't believe it is ever going to be my month. I feel like I'm just biding my time till I can see an RE. My Ovulation Chart
GTKY: What was your first job? I worked in a bagel bakery. I made it about a month.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Spotted all day yesterday, had cramps, and was HIGHLY emotional. Today, temp went up a bit but I'm still cramping. Same thing happened two cycles ago. Just waiting it out until CD1.
GTKY: What was your first job? Counter help at Dunkin Donuts.
I have to say, I was about to be an AW and bitch and moan about not feeling anything. I don't feel PMS-y, but I have no symptoms to even symptom spot with. I've seriously been squeezing my boobs at every opportunity hoping they'll be sore, checking my CM to see if it's increased, trying to decide if the stomach grumblings are nausea or hunger (hunger, they're definitely hunger). But seeing that, especially you, oddbird, haven't had any symptoms and didn't with your DD, it makes me feel a little better. Not hopeful that I'm one of those people with no early signs, but just not so down in the dumps about feeling neither positive or negative this cycle.

Now I want donuts. Powdered sugar, preferably. I know, I know, DD doesn't make the donuts fresh in the store, but damn those powdered sugar ones are so good!
Also, I'm very sorry for the spotting and cramps. ((hugs))
