Testing Plans: 11 or 12 DPO, that's the PLAN anyway...reality is a different story
R/R/CS: I was right about O date, FF changed it this morning to CD17. Progesterone started last night.
GTKY: Are you going to eat those eggs? (What are you doing today?) DS did his egg hunt and played with everything in his Easter basket. Other than that, plans are just to do some house projects.

Congratulations, anonymouseliza. That is wonderful news and I wish the best for you and your family. We'll miss your kindness and TTC knowledge for sure. Take care.
Testing Plans: Tuesday if temp rises again/spotting stops.
R/R/CS: So I really need some chart stalks this morning. The last few days I have spotted a small amount- less then a light period, and it lasts about 30min then it stops. I have no cramps at all, so I am confused. I did spot with my last pregnancy, but I just am not 100% confident with my chart/timing. If someone could please stalk and give me some advice I would love to hear some outsiders perspectives. Thanks ladies!
GTKY: Are you going to eat those eggs? (What are you doing today?) Dinner at my parents and eating every piece of chocolate that stands in my way!
Hi Erin, Have you tried switching the setting to base your O off of OPKs? Also out of curiousity are you only spotting once a day or for only minutes at a time. I often have spotting that occurs once or twice a day about 2-3days before my period starts. Just breathe and see what happens.
Timing: -4, -3, -2 according to when FF assigned O
Testing Plans: So, about that. . . Kids and future lurkers, don't test early. Wait it out! But I got a BFP last night. (if you want the story, it's in the spoilers)
{Spoiler}Yesterday was 9 dpo. And my birthday. And I really cannot begin to tell you what rebellious spirit possessed me to do it, but I kind of tested yesterday and the Wondo kinda had a faint, color line within the testing timeframe. Granted, Wondfo's have given me some pretty serious evap lines before, so I did what any normal human would do - I broke out my last FRER. A something popped up within the testing timeframe, and I thought it was maybe pale pink, but it was definitely a squinter (which one expects at 9 dpo). I showed it to my DH and his response was "I don't see anything." So I assumed it was me just being a line spotter, and I went and bought more tests and had a nice meal with my mama and came back home. It happened - through no effort or planning - that about 5 hours lapsed between trips to the bathroom, so I decided to try testing again, expecting that it was still early, etc. but a line popped up right away on FRER, and it was not a pale line, it was a very clearly positive test.
How I told DH: I walked out and handed him the test. He said "I think there may be a line." Then we proceeded to have a mini-freakout and wonder if we are ruining our DD's life and upsetting the apple cart and what were we thinking? But it passed pretty quickly and we ended up with a hug and a kiss. It's going to take some time to settle in, presuming everything is ok.
EDD: 12/17/15
Symptoms: Ok, very few? Look, this cycle was such a mess, I was sure it wasn't going to work. Between busted ankle, work, and certainty about the failure of this cycle, any symptoms have been attributed to normal hormonal stuff (nausea and sore boobs) or work or injury stress (fatigue). I did no symptoms spotting and/or had no symptoms to speak of. I am very tired, I have had nausea for the last two days, as well as increased appetite, and sore boobs, and I'm very crampy, fwiw.
Mushy: I came here when we were first ttc and TB exploded. I have enjoyed it so much - the snark, the support. I'm astonished it happened this cycle and I'm astonished it happened so quickly when it took 4 years from starting ttc to living child. Obviously, my obstetric history is not favorable, so everything is very much one step at a time right now. For the moment, I'm very calm - everything is in motion and there isn't much I can do to affect the outcome right now. I hope so very much that ttc is a short and painless journey for everyone. You all deserve so many good things.

Sorry for CD1 ****** and kaliRN. Hugs Daikoku... sorry for the temp drop and impending CD1 and cycle 25. FX kcones88! Your chart looks promising!
@erin2021, what question do you have about your chart? You don't have CH because it looks like you don't have enough pre-O temps prior to your temp spike. But I do think you O'd (based on the temp spike and secondary signs) and your timing looks pretty good to me! Spotting can happen prior to AF or pregnancy so it's hard to read much into that.
Big congrats anonymouseliza!!! What a great birthday present!
Cycle/Month: 7/7
CD/DPO: 18/4
Timing: -5, -3, -1
Testing Plans: None
R/R/CS: My post-O temps are a little lower than normal. Not sure if that means anything. I usually have a slow rise after O but then I level out around 98 by 4 DPO. I'll be curious to see what my temps are this week. I keep worrying that maybe I didn't actually O yet but my secondary signs and the temp spike are pretty clear.
GTKY: Are you going to eat those eggs? (What are you doing today?) Church this morning and then we went to my sister's house for brunch - she hosted but we made most of the food. It was a nice day with my family all together.
anonymouseliza congrats! What a fantastic birthday present.
Thanks for the positive vibes, ceejay. I had another BFN this morning, so I'm kinda down about it. Think I'll wait to see what my temps do between now and Tuesday morning before testing again.
Lurking from WTO to say congratulations anonymouseliza! I have really appreciated your perspective on TTC and other issues that pop up here. I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy.
