Cycle/month: 6/5AL
CD/DPO: 32/?
Timing: Good
Testing plans: I was going to wait until Wednesday but I caved and tested this AM and... BFP! Ahhhhh! It was a dollar store cheapie but I'm going to go buy a drugstore test later today.
RRCS: Nervous but excited!
GTKY: I have a younger brother. I think being the oldest definitely had an impact on my personality. I'm bossy and tend to want things done my way, and consider myself organized and responsible.
RRCS: I had my annual check up today and discussed TTC with my doc. I told her I was concerned bc my cycles are so short (24-26 days) but from my secondary signs I believe I just ovulate very early in my cycle after a short period. She assured me I shouldn't worry as long as my LP phase is long enough. Talking it out made me feel better.
GTKY: Do you have any siblings? And do you feel that your place in the birth order has influenced your personality? I have an older brother and we are definitely backwards on our personalities. I am an extreme type A and he flies by the seat of his pants through life.
So glad you felt better after talking it out! I actually have my annual tomorrow and am hoping to talk about my super LOOOOONNNNG cycles. Obvisouly I don't expect any answers but I think it will help to just get it off my chest to a person face to face.
Good luck gooselover2012, hopefully you get some usual information to help you make it through those long cycles. It's just nice hearing nothing is wrong with you its just not the norm and it can take a couple up to a year to concieve. Even though I've heard these things a million times one more time by my doc doesn't hurt.
CD/DPO:37/7 or 37/11 depending on what you believe
Timing: "good" overall i guess
Testing plans: not until this Saturday at 11dpo OR 16dpo
RRCS: so FF moved my CH from CD30 to CD26 this am. timing is alright either way but I am getting really tired of them bouncing around. Anyone feel like a chart stalk? Personally I feel like CD 30 or even 31 is more likely since I got +ve OPS after CD 26. who knows, time will tell.
GTKY: Do you have any siblings? And do you feel that your place in the birth order has influenced your personality? I am technically an only child which I think has influenced my personality. I'm very independent, I always have preferred the company of adults/people older than me, and I can sometimes be a little self-centered. I do however have 3 "siblings" who were the neighbours kids that I grew up extremely close to and still consider like brothers and a sister today. They all stood in my wedding. I go over for every Christmas, Easter dinner etc.
RRCS: slight temp dip yesterday and back up again. I read too much into FF and I am probably psyching myself out for nothing.
GTKY: Do you have any siblings? And do you feel that your place in the birth order has influenced your personality? I am the oldest sibling by 6 years and I always got the, "lead by example" when it came to my younger sister so I think yes it does reflect on my personality.

I haven't gotten my official crosshairs but I know I go here now.
Cycle/month: 7/7
CD/DPO: 19/2
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1, O
Testing plans: I'm going to try to wait until 13DPO.
RRCS: We had the best timing we've had in 7 months so I'm super optimistic but know that will probably burn me and make it harder when I'm not KU.
GTKY: Do you have any siblings? And do you feel that your place in the birth order has influenced your personality? I have an older brother. I definitely have some "baby" traits - I always want attention and rarely want to be alone.
RRCS: All signs point to post O now, but after a stomach bug circulated through my whole household, I think any certainty about exactly when that happened is pretty much shot (one missed temp, one day of fever, several straight days of very questionable sleep and odd wake-up times). Boo. I was hoping to be able to tell if my luteal phase was stabilizing at a predictable length.
GTKY: Do you have any siblings? And do you feel that your place in the birth order has influenced your personality? I'm the youngest of two, and I definitely think it shaped my personality, but not necessarily in the ways described in that article. Growing up, I was always pushing myself to be able to do the things my big brother could do. Meanwhile, my accomplishments never seemed to be big news the way his were, because he had done whatever it was before, even if I did the same thing younger. I don't mean this to sound bitter--I actually feel really lucky, because I never felt like there was a lot of pressure on me.
RRCS: I started temping earlier this cycle so me and DH could go to the gym before work. We haven't made it to the gym yet, and my temps are all over the place this month!
GTKY: Do you have any siblings? And do you feel that your place in the birth order has influenced your personality? I didn't get to read the article, but I'm the oldest. I definitely am a planner, independent and go getter. My younger sister is the opposite!
Testing plans: FF says 4/6, so we'll see. I'm expecting AF on 3/30, so if it doesn't come then, I'll probably test early.
RRCS: Should I be feeling guilty about drinking right now? I'm really not sure if I shouldn't be drinking until I find out I'm absolutely not pregnant. Or is it a non-issue until you're "pregnant" enough to get a BFP?
GTKY: Do you have any siblings? And do you feel that your place in the birth order has influenced your personality? I'm the oldest of two and I definitely felt more responsible than my sister. Did better in school, was always held up as an example, much to the detriment of our sister relationship. But thankfully that's resolved now.
Thanks kellybenelly83, I know 30 isn't "old" per se, I just never thought I would be 30 without biological children. It doesn't help that two of my best friends are currently pregnant. And my husband's ex-wife is on her 4th child apparently. And a concert I was looking forward to this week just got cancelled. And it's Monday, and since AF is probably getting ready to visit I'm hormonal and whiny, haha.

Congrats spaghettioh! And I think the general consensus is its ok to drink in the TWW. I wasn't trying when I got pregnant with DD and drank before I found out. She is a beautiful and healthy 5 year old. That being said, if it makes you feel better you can absolutely refrain from drinking until you are sure. To each their own.
Phew mistabinx. That definitely makes me feel better. I'm (hopefully) going to have 9 months of less fun, so I i definitely want to enjoy it while I still can.

There are a couple studies indicating drinking [even in moderation] may affect fertility:

Cycle/Month: 7/6
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: -3, -2, -1, O
Testing Date/Plans: Tuesday, 3/24 (12DPO)
Rants, Raves, Chart Stalks: At the beginning of TTC, I was secretly all "Ew, no December babies for me" and now I just don't give a shit. I think I may even be rooting for December now just to be done with this TTC game. Cmon sperm. Cmon egg. Do your thing.
GTKY: Two sisters, Im in the middle. It definitely affected my personality. My older sister dominated the family dynamic and I "failed to thrive" as she has said.
