Met 06/27/2004. Fell in love 09/30/2005. Adopted our pups 7/08 & 2/10. Bought a house 12/29/10. Married 10/8/11. TTC Baby #1 December 2014. BFP 4/16/2015 EDD 12/25/2015 DD Born 12/28/2015
Testing Plans: Friday morning before the wedding unless AF comes
R/R/CS: Well, I packed both tampons and FRERs. We shall see what the trip brings. Either way, it should be a good time.
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist?: So, DH and I enjoy good food and alcohol. We like to research each city's best restaurants and indulge. New Orleans has a walking culinary tour and we are super stoked about it. Learning and back door entrance to some of the best restaurants in NOLA? DONE. Even when we went to Disney World, we got into Be Our Guest and had one of the best culinary experiences we've ever had. We joke that we would be really fabulous rich people, but would probably get really fat.

Have fun in NOLA, tromeo! I have never been there but it's on my short list of places to visit!
Cycle/Month: 8
CD/DPO: 23/12
Timing: Good
Testing Plans: None
R/R/CS: My temps have dropped the past two days. It takes three days to establish a pattern, right? I will see what tomorrow brings.
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist? I am generally content to do one city tour that includes history, etc. and maybe one museum. But I agree that vacations are primarily for eating/drinking, especially the local cuisine. When we took our babymoon to Charleston, SC, we tried a different local cuisine each night: seafood, BBQ, low country and Gullah. Priorities!
Testing Plans: None. I'll wait and see if AF shows.
R/R/CS: Temp slowly climbing. Based on previous cycles, it usually starts dropping around 10 DPO so I guess I'll see what tomorrow's temp does.
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist? We like to do some sightseeing and go to some restaurants. Usually we research the places we want to go and then do some exploring. As far as food we usually wait until we get there and see what strikes our interest or ask some locals for some recommendations. So nothing too crazy as far as being a tourist.
R/R/CS: I'm still here. I had some blood tinged CM yesterday I thought that meant AF was here but still nothing. I guess I'll test if I'm still here Friday when FF suggests. I can't handle anymore BFNs.
GTKY: We usually will go to a museum or park. We normally go to the beach for vacation so we are mainly just beach bums.
Have fun in NOLA, tromeo! I was there in January and it was a blast!
Cycle/Month: 3/5
CD/DPO: 62/10
Timing: O
Testing Plans: Friday if no AF
R/R/CS: None. Just excited that my temp is staying up!
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist? DH and I love to try the local food, and find local shops to peruse. We're also big into adventure tours (ziplining, horseback riding, 4-wheeling, hiking, biking, etc.)
Testing Plans: None. I've just got my FX I don't start spotting way early again (5 DPO last month). I mean, I also hope for a reason to test, but there hasn't been one since I started temping.
R/R/CS: Just a general question: Is spotting so early in the LP a bad sign? Does it mean anything? I know you can spot at any time for any reason, but should I be concerned?
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist? DH and I are huge foodies and don't go anywhere without his checking yelp first. We also love hiking, breweries, and activities like concerts or games. It's my favorite way to travel! Last trip, we found a place that allowed us to pet and hang out with animals like lemurs, sloths, kangaroos, and wolves!
Testing Plans: Tomorrow (or tonight if I just can't wait till tomorrow evening)
R/R/CS: I'm both more and less tempted to test tonight since my temp rose today. Could mean nothing, so waiting till 13dpo would seem prudent and I could have tomorrow's temp to give myself a more realistic expectation (since today I got really excited when I saw my temp - if it drops tomorrow I'll be better prepared for a BFN).
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist? Really depends on where I am! In a city I like to go see things - museums, monuments, etc., but if I'm at the beach I like to do nothing except relax.
tromeo - it sounds like we are going to have similar packing this week! Good luck and have fun!
Cycle/Month: 8/8
CD/DPO: 21/8 - I was wrong yesterday.
Timing: -1,+1
Testing Plans: maybe Sunday before we leave for Vegas if no spotting. If not my luggage will probably contain tests and femenine supplies.
R/R/CS: I'm super tired and unmotivated to be at work. I think it's just knowing we will be gone next week.
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist? I live in the middle of 4 big cities that we can easily drive to so DH and I take a lot of day trips for horse racing or sports. For big vacations I am a planner and like to have an idea of what we are doing each day. I also love eating local and I cleared my cameras memory card last night to make room for Vegas pictures!
Testing Plans: 10 DPO-4/20- since my trigger is gone out
R/R/CS: My temps are super weird this cycle so I am just waiting for Friday for my 7 DPO blood draw to prove to myself I O'd. Whether day 13 or 14 I will never know but at least I can have some confirmation!
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist? I love spending half my time on tours and learning about the culture and half exploring random ally on my own what locals suggest! Taxi cab drivers have the best info ever!!!
R/R/CS: I’m getting really excited for our trip to Mexico!! Trying to keep my FRERs stashed until Monday the 20th.
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist? I love traveling. I enjoy being your quintessential tourist; however, I’m also a huge fan of exploring off the beaten path. I love being the only tourist in a restaurant full of locals!
Have a blast in NOLA, tromeo!! FX you won’t need tampons or adult beverages
R/R/CS: Temp drop this morning, plus cramps and a little spotting. I know my period is on its way. I honestly didn't think I was very invested in this cycle either way, but for some reason I'm having a really rough time this morning. Trying to pull it together enough to leave for work in less than an hour. For some reason, it's just hitting me right now that we got pregnant, had the loss, and are back at square one. I feel hopeless and out of control. I'm sure hormones aren't helping. I feel so bad that I'm wondering if TTA for a while might be a good idea.
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist? I don't travel often, and when I do it's usually to our favorite spot up north on the lake (where we had our honeymoon). So "being a tourist" there is mostly taking in the beautiful scenery and being in nature. I wish I were there now.

anustart, I may be mistaken, but I feel like I remember reading somewhere on FF that if you have several cycles where you spot early and for several days in your LP, without any successful pregnancies, that it may be worth mentioning to a doctor.
Cycle/Month: 5
CD/DPO: 24/5
Timing: very high
Testing Plans: nothing yet!
R/R/CS: I didn't temp this morning because sleep last night was HORRIBLE. I woke up around 3 in the morning and H was rolling around restlessly and fidgeting, so I knew he was awake. I think his awakeness woke me up. Then, of course, he fell asleep in about 20 minutes and then started snoring. That's my cue -- off to the guest room!
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist? I love architecture and taking pictures, and seeing the big monuments and things that the place is known for. But I'm stealthy about it when I can be, because I like blending in somewhat and eating/drinking off the beaten track and not being tooooo terribly touristy.
I always buy a souvenir Starbucks mug from the places I travel to and add them to my tiny collection!

TTCAL is a mind fuck. You're hopeful but your emotions are still raw. It's important to be not only physically ready for a new pregnancy, but emotionally ready as well. If that means TTA for however long, then trust your gut. Being benched for 8 months after my last loss sucked, and I would have preferred to start trying sooner, but I'm thankful for the time it gave me to prepare myself emotionally.
Number One: Born 06.16.2009 BFP: 01.17.2014 / MC 02.05.2014 BFP: 03.08.2014 / MMC: 05.07.2014 Dx: Partial Molar/GTD. Benched until 01.2015 Number Two: Born 07.22.2016

You're so right about needing to be ready. Obviously I'm not, but the idea of TTA is really upsetting, too. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be this hard. I was so happy when my period finally came after the D&C, because it felt like a new beginning and like I could begin to move on. Instead I was just inexplicably anxious most of the cycle, and now that it's at its end, I'm a wreck. Not even because I'm disappointed I didn't get KU right away, just because of all the uncertainty and because of what I know now is my total lack of control over TTC outcomes. In retrospect it was dumb not to expect it to be hard.
So I know I posted a BFP yesterday, but I am now unsure of what is going on. So here I am.
Cycle/Month: 5 / 7
CD/DPO: 34 / 14
Timing: -4, -2, 0
Testing Plans: None for now
R/R/CS: Here is the scoop. I can see a line, but it has remained barely visible for 3 days now. Its not getting any darker. Today, my temp dipped down to the coverline. I worry this is a CP. I guess all I can do is wait and see if temps go back up or if CD1 shows up. I am just so emotionally drained from the ups and downs of the past few days.
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist? I like to explore as much as possible. See different places to eat, shop, and relax.

Cycle/month 4/6 Cd/dpo: 20/3 Timing -4, -2,-1, O Testing plans not sure may be late next week RRCS: ff moved o date from cd 15 to cd 17 not sure which is right but oh well I guess we will see. I go in for bloodwork with my Re tomorrow. Gtky: it depends on the vacation I love just relaxing on the beach an snorkeling if it's a beach trip or museums if it's not beachy
R/R/CS: Still not that sure I really O'd on CD 10. I was thinking this morning's temp would bring some clarity, but it's right at my cover line. Mystery keeps life exciting, right?
GTKY: I love to visit friends who live in exciting places and have them show me how the locals live. Also how they eat.

cabgirl, I'm going through a lot of similar emotions. I expected the first cycle to be a bit harder than normal, but I truly wasn't prepared for the roller coaster I've been on. Many, many hugs to you. I hope that you're able to figure out what you need and that you find peace and comfort in that very soon.
@metalmoliver, I'm so sorry for the uncertainty you're experiencing. I have got my fingers crossed so hard that things start to look up. If they don't, however, we'll all be here for you.
Cycle/Month: 5/6 (1AL)
CD/DPO: 22/8
Timing: -3, -2, 0
Testing Plans: Hoping to hold out to Saturday.
R/R/CS: My temp is still up after a dip on CD6, but I feel like my LP temps this cycle have been relatively erratic. With all the inconsistency of my temps (despite consistency of my sleeping patterns and conditions), I'm not feeling very hopeful about this cycle.
GTKY: When you travel, what is your favorite way to be a tourist? Meeting the people and experiencing the culture of a new place. I love finding restaurants with communal tables and utilizing public transport, if it's available. I also really enjoy taking pictures of things that I find interesting (mostly architecture), even though I'm not very good at it.
So I know I posted a BFP yesterday, but I am now unsure of what is going on. So here I am.

I'm sorry girl. I know how you feel. Limbo land sucks. Fx for you that the line gets darker and temps shoot back up. If not, know that you are in good company. There have unfortunately been a few of us with CPs the past few weeks.
