Cycle/Month: 10
CD/DPO: 38/13
Timing: Okay?
Testing plans: Friday
R/R/CS: Cramps and a thunderstorm kept me up all night. I'm attributing my temp rise to that. It's easier not to hope so much. Also, what can I do for these cramps? They're dull and achey but they hurt so bad. Last cycle I had them for one day before cd1, but now I'm on day 4 of them and it's getting hard to push through. I obviously can't take any pain pills, so what do I do? I'm not sure about heating pads on my uterus during the TWW, and anyways I can't sleep with a heating pad. These cramps are making me nauseous too. It's been a long time since I've had cramps this bad.
GTKY: What'd you do on your last "date night"? Went out to eat. I think we had sushi.
Pretty sure today is CD1. I'd be shocked if it didn't happen today.
I normally post on this thread the cycle and month since I started temping because I thought it would be easier for me personally, but I went back last night and realized that I'm really more like heading into cycle 9/month 8.
Anyway, I had a talk with gyn a month ago about my cycles and she suggested that I start testing with an RE, so it looks like I'm starting that testing this weekend and next week. I guess we'll see what happens.
R/R/CS: Two consistent-ish temps in a row? Craziness!
GTKY: What'd you do on your last "date night"? Last official date night we went to see Harry Connick Jr. in concert. Friday we plan to have a date night that includes a night at a hotel (we won it at a silent auction a few weeks ago).
Good luck with the testing mrsjene. squeakyduck, I don't have any suggestions for what to do about the cramps, but I hope you find relief soon!
Cycle/month: 8/7
CD/DPO: 26/13
Timing: -4,-2
Testing plans: I was trying to hold out till Saturday but caved this morning and got a BFP! I think I'm in shock about it.
I came out after taking two tests and gave H my motorcycle key and told him that it's his for a year, he was confused at first, but he got it. I hated to tell him then send him off to work, but I can't keep something like that from him.
I want to thank all the ladies in this community, I've learned so much from all of you over the last 7 months and I hope to see many of you over on first tri!
GTKY: What'd you do on your last "date night"? I'm not sure, probably dinner and a movie.
R/R/CS: My temps keep dropping below the coverline. I had temp dips last month too. I keep reminding myself that FF says that the cover line is an arbitrary line used for illustration purposes, and doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it bugs the crap out of me that they wont just stay up.
GTKY: What'd you do on your last "date night"? We don't really have "date night" because we don't have kids and/or any real grown up responsibilities, and we just go out when we want. The last time we went out we snowmobiled to a pizza place and had pizza and beer with friends for their little girl's birthday.

Testing plans: I wish I would've tested this morning, but I'll probably wait and see if AF comes in the next few days. Or maybe I'll hold my pee and try to test later today...
R/R/CS: I've been having weird gas cramps and acid reflux since shortly after o. It could mean pg, but it's so different from my first that I'm not sure if I should go to my GP or test.
GTKY: What'd you do on your last "date night"? We saw the movie Paddington.
squeakyduck, I'm sorry about those cramps. Can you not take Tylenol? That's my go-to during the TWW since it's been shown to be safe.
Cycle/month: 9/9
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: Good
Testing plans: None unless I hit 15 DPO without a temp drop (next Friday)
R/R/CS: Nothing exciting going on in my chart.
GTKY: What'd you do on your last "date night?" It was sort of an unintentional date night because we were both just having a bad day, but we went to a brewhouse on a random Tuesday night for dinner a few weeks ago. H got some fancy IPA or something that he loves and I had a delicious fruity cocktail, and fun was had by all.
R/R/CS: BFN this morning. Temp took a nose dive down to my coverline. Didn't cross it, but still was a huge dip. This is my first month temping. If anyone takes a look, what do you think? Should I just assume CD1 is coming, or is there any hope still? Having a pretty awful day. I just feel so broken that I am not pregnant. I know that statistics and everything, but all the women in my family (mom and sisters) got pregnant on their first or second cycle trying. They have been telling me for years how fertile we all are and that I will get pregnant so quickly. So now every time I see them (they know we are trying) they seem disappointed in me.
GTKY: What'd you do on your last "date night"? Sushi and wine. Yum, such a happy night!

Congrats abc531! What a wonderful way to start your day.
Cycle/month: 12/12
CD/DPO: 21/?
Timing: I'm thinking we did OK.
Testing plans: None right now.
R/R/CS: I've already started spotting after sex so that's usually a pretty good indicator that I'm out. I hate that I always know so early...it's like I don't even have the opportunity for a little hope. I have a baby shower coming up for a friend who started TTC around the same time as us. I guess the whole thing is just a little bittersweet.
GTKY: What'd you do on your last "date night"? We rode 67 miles on the snowmobiles and hit a few bars along the way. It was lots of fun.
@metalmoliver I'm sorry you're feeling so down, it sucks that statistics don't help much when it comes to emotions. I'm mobile so I can't see your chart but FX you get some good news soon.
mrssims8212, Hugs. I completely understand how you feel. I never get to the point where I could even consider testing. I'm already pretty sure this morning based on my temp drop that I'm going to start spotting any day now.

@metalmoliver do not let other peoples fertility discourage you. I was the same way, all my family /friends got pregnant within 1-2 cycles and I took 7 months. I was really discouraged but we got there. ((hugs)) your turn WILL come, and if they ask or react tell them you would appreciate if they didnt comment. Ultimately its none of their business how long it takes you.
Married 10/10/10! TTC Baby #1 since April 2014 BFP Oct 16 - EP terminated Nov 6 2014 Off the Bench January 2015! BFP #2 June 1 2015 - EDD Feb 12 2016! Baby Boy born 15th February 2016!

@metalmoliver, I can't see your chart either, but since it's your first cycle temping, it's hard to say. For me, I get a dip around 14 or 15 DPO and my period starts soon after. But sometimes I get a one off dip a little earlier and it goes back up. If you temp a few more cycles, you'll see a pattern, but hopefully you won't be temping much longer.
As for your mom and sisters, their fertility is not an indicator of your own. Can you explain that to them? And maybe just tell them that you don't really want to talk about it to them and you will tell them when there is something to tell? Or maybe see if they mind letting you br the one to bring up the topic when you want to talk about it?
