Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: My temp increased again today and I'm just so happy I made it to 10DPO without any signs of impending AF in sight. I officially got my solid CHs back today, so I'm really hoping those are accurate.
GTKY: What was the first thing you learned how to cook? Grilled cheese when I was 9 years old... Because I'm fancy like that.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I still think that I ovulated later. Anyone willing to chart stalk?
GTKY: What was the first thing you learned how to cook? Probably cookies, but I remember that the first "meal" I used to make was rice baked with cream of mushroom soup and and chicken. I was so proud.
I see why you might think this with your temps (I had a similar thing this cycle), but with the secondary signs, I agree with FF.
momomel Hmm...I thought it was just me and my weird body. I couldn't understand how my reproductive cycle would affect my back, but it's interesting you have the same problem. I think I'll ask my OB next month at my yearly. Maybe he'll even give me a refill on the pain meds.

Does anyone think my cover line looks weird though?
CD/DPO: 21/1 (I think, I may have jacked up my chart this month, still trying to figure it out)
Timing: -1, -3, probably tonight.
Testing Date/Plans: I am terrible at waiting to test so who knows, next week some time?
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I am super nauseous today and haven't been sleeping worth a crap all week which is strange, so hoping this is our month. I have a good feeling and have high hopes. So I guess another one boarding the train!
GTKY: What was the first thing you learned how to cook? I have no idea, I didn't cook until I moved out when I was 18 and cooked out of boxes for a long time. I have come a long way though!
Am I correct in reading that you're only 1 DPO? You would not be experiencing pregnancy symptoms at this point. So any nausea and restlessness is unrelated to pregnancy. If you were pregnant enough for symptoms, you'd be able to turn a positive HPT. Keep in mind that implantation doesn't occur until around 7-10DPO and it is impossible to feel anything related to pregnancy before then. I don't mean to kick you off your high hopes, but I want you to keep a realistic and level head here.
Testing Date/Plans: caved and tested today. No idea why I couldn't wait another day, but BFN. There was a girl on my BMB with a squinter today at 7DPO. I think that's what made me test. Now I'm sorry I did.

Cycle/Month: 10
CD/DPO: 31/
Timing: Good or terrible
Testing Date/Plans: BFN yesterday, but I will test again Saturday if no period or temp drop.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: Yes please! This is my oddest cycle ever. I really, really want FF to be right about my O date, and the only way to make it wrong is by discarding my temp on CD 16. If I raise it, FF bumps O to CD 15. If I discard it, I get CD 28. If I O'd on CD 28, the timing does not work at all and I'm out. But if FF is right, this is my longest LP and it's starting to look triphasic. I got an almost positive OPK on CD15, and I quit tracking CM after FF confirmed O, since I usually get random patches of fertile CM after O and that confuses FF. I'm pretty sure this chart just sucks and I have to wait it out, but I am starting to feel crazy.
GTKY: What was the first thing you learned how to cook? Not sure. Toast? Real food? Pepperoni cheese loaf.

FF gave you CH on CD 17 because of those OPKs. I agree with it. Didn't someone just post a big research thing about the temp shift being off by a day or so in some cases? Either way, your timing looks okay.
If it will make you sane, move the CH up a few days. I (usually- just not this month) like to err on the side of O'ing later, because then I don't try to test so early.
Testing Date: Tested this morning due to RE's instructions. BFP on FRER, but only a 4.7 in the quantitative HCG at the office. My RE considers not pregnant <2 and pregnant >10. I'm in limbo until we repeat on Monday.
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: I'm a mess. This whole cycle has been so emotional and uncertain. The worst part about today was actually not hearing my results but having the nurse tell me "I talked to Dr D and he said that he is unsure of these numbers and if this is going to be a good pregnancy for you. Come back on Monday to repeat." I called him immediately after I left and needless to say he was furious that she thought it was ok to insert her own fucking opinion into my appointment. I better not see her face there ever again. Anyway, I'm pretty sure this is the beginning of another CP.
GTKY: What was the first thing you learned how to cook? Scrambled eggs.

FX icequeen for your appointment on Monday... sending T&P's your way!
squeakyduck - I don't think I agree with you current CH on CD16. I would say CD28 or even CD23 would be more likely. It's hard to know for sure without secondary signs but there isn't really a clear shift after CD16 to indicate O.

One of the REs at my center (not my regular doctor) said something similar to me when I went for my viability ultrasound in May 2013. She told me that it was unlikely that it would be viable. You're looking at that baby in my siggy right now.

((hug)) All the hugs, thoughts, and prayers for your icequeen! I hope your Monday re-check is awesome. Sorry about the nurse, sometimes people just suck. It's too bad you had to hear/deal with that.
icequeen, I am so hoping everything goes okay at your appt on Monday and this is a sticky baby!! I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with the nurse. Everything crossed for you lady!!

I am not sure I had my O date correct... I am not temping at this point and thought that I may have missed it over the weekend, but I am not for sure. Reading TCOYF and trying to figure out how to do my chart correctly and make sure that I am paying attention to things other than the OPK. I appreciate the honesty!
