[mrsjene]

Cycle/Month: 10/11

CD/DPO: 26/14

Timing: high

[14joa31]

Cycle/Month: 9

CD/DPO: 17/6

Timing: Low

Testing Plans: None

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: FF is pissed at me because I didn't do any secondary signs - oops!

GTKY: Do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? If so, how? I am going to enjoy a Mexican avocado with my lunch - and have a margarita with dinner this evening

[michelleca]

mrsjene, sorry about the bfn

butlerfan, that is one pretty chart! Fx!


Eta: my temps fell to about cover line today (12 dpo), and the three things I peed on yesterday all told me I'm not ktfu. DH and I aren't even sure if we're "trying" yet, so it's ok, but I kind of thought I might be. A smidge disappointing. All the symptoms I convinced myself I had have disappeared!

[notthedroids]

Cycle/Month: 7/8

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing:-4, -1, 1

Testing Plans: none?

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: temp is up still but I'm feeling crampy. Pretty sure AF is on the way.

GTKY: Do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? If so, how? Not really. We went out last night for mexican. I may drink a margaritta or two though.

[ironbaby]

My first TWW!

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 16/2 (based on averages)

Timing: good

Testing Plans: only if no AF by 5/20

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Feeling pretty good today.

GTKY: Do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? If so, how? My running group is hosting a big party with a 5k then food catered by a yummy restaurant. H is out of town, so it will be really nice to be surrounded by friends and fun.

[becwheat]

Cycle/Month:

CD/DPO: 30/11ish

Timing: fine

Testing Plans: I tested today and got a BFN.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Since my O date is unclear I have not given up hope, but I do not feel pregnant. I know that doesn't mean much. With DD I felt some symptoms before I tested (which is why I tested), so I keep expecting that if I were KU I would feel something.

GTKY: Do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? If so, how?: Going to bed early probably. I can't drink on the diet I am following.

[Deleted]

Cycle/Month: 6 / 8

CD/DPO: 20 / 3

Timing: Good (-2, 0)

Testing Plans: 14 DPO

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Happy I am now on the TWW! This is my shortest cycle yet. So much better than the 39 day cycles I was having when I first stopped BC.

GTKY: Do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? If so, how? Tonight we are going to our friend's house and we are eating tacos, chips, and salsa. Should be a fun, low-key night.

[ironbaby]

Also, I am camping out waiting for an update from icequeen. FX for you!

Cycle/Month: 8

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: Good.

Testing Plans: Not unless period doesn't show.

Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I'm over it. All of it.

GTKY: Do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? If so, how? H works till 8 but then tacos and beer.

[FrancesHouseman]

I'm really sorry for the BFNs mrsjene and michelleca
Those temps look pretty butlerfan - FX
I know what you mean about wanting to "feel pregnant" becwheat - FX this time is just different

Cycle/Month: 3/3

CD/DPO: 31/14

Timing: good

Testing Plans: none

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Temp dip today - even though a January due date would have been stressful with work, I'm still disappointed that this cycle is looking like a bust. I think I'm gonna try acupuncture next month.

GTKY: I'm going to make some tacos and probably a margarita tonight.

FX for you! Your chart looks really good so far!

[notthedroids]

Well ladies, I'm spotting so pretty sure I'm out. Good luck to you all!

This is also why I am lurking hardcore here today - FX for you icequeen!!!

[requiressnacks]

Sorry for all the BFN's... mrsjene, michelleca, becwheat.

And FX for butlerfan and icequeen!

Cycle/Month:6/8

CD/DPO: 28/11

Timing: Good

Testing Plans: None

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Temp is at coverline so I'm just waiting for AF to arrive. But on a more positive note, this was the first cycle that I made a concerted effort to exercise on a regular basis (feel free to chart stalk all those pink squares!) and I honestly believe (this is only my personal opinion and not based on science) that the exercise helped to regulate and/or shorten my cycle. I had a consultation with an RE scheduled for June to discuss my cycles and I'm actually moving it out to Sept or later because I'm trying to continue with the exercise and hope that my cycles stay this regular. Sorry for the novel of a post, I am just in a weird way excited to get to the next cycle.

GTKY: Do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? Well, it's taco Tuesday in our house so I will definitely be having some tacos! I was actually thinking that I might stop and get a little tequila to make a margarita too. I did work out this morning after all!

This was my experience as well! The cycles where I've worked out/focused on hard on diet and exercise have been shorter cycles. No real science for me either, just personal experience.

Awesome! That makes two of us in this focus group. I'm just hoping I can keep it up.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! I'm jumping in here, I've been a dirty lurker. This cycle has gotten me really down so I need to jump in and hopefully participating will be an outlet for me. I'm about to close out cycle 6 of TFAS. I waited a bit for DH to be ready to try, so I feel like it's been much longer.

Cycle/Month: 6

CD/DPO: 25/10

Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1

Testing Plans: BFN this morning, not again unless I hit 15 DPO. So basically no.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: None

GTKY: Do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? If so, how? No, it's just another day for me.

[kellybenelly83]

Cycle/Month: 11/4al

CD/DPO: 23/11

Timing: -5, -1

Testing Plans: tested this am, BFN.

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I still have sore boobs, I now am just annoyed that my brain ran away with this 1 symptom and thought I was totes KTFU. Its very disapointing. I know I'm now out yet, but I'm not overly optimistic anymore.

GTKY: Do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? If so, how. We dont celebrate it. theres nothing special going on for us.

LOL I know. Every time I'm tempted to be lazy I try to remind myself how much nicer those shorter cycles are...

Welcome, chocolate. Best of luck to you.

I was the same way with DS. I knew I was KU before getting a positive test. I compare every cycle to that and always know I'm not KU, even though I hold out false hope. Although I do often wonder if when I do get KU if it'll "feel" the same.

I'm jumping into TWW today because I need to vent a little. Also, I've missed these threads!

Cycle/Month: 7/7

CD/DPO: 32/??

Timing: ??

Testing Plans: BFN today

R/R/CS: I took a break from temping the last two months as we prepared for our wedding. It was a nice break but now I'm kicking myself because I have no idea what is going on with my body. We had sex several times right around what is typically my O day (CD19), but without temping that really means nothing. Now I'm on CD32, and I have never had longer than a 29 day cycle, so of course I'm confused and freaking out a little bit. I tested this morning and got a BFN. I guess I'm going to ride it out for another week or so, but this is totally throwing off my plans and I'm going to be super sad if I'm on my period for my wedding.

GTKY: Unfortunately no Cinco de Mayo plans for me tonight. It's work, work, work, and wedding planning for the next 10 days. Powering through!!

[achromia]

I, too, am anxiously awaiting an update from icequeen!

Cycle/Month: 11/10

CD/DPO: 25/8

Timing: Good

Testing Plans: Next Monday unless AF shows up first

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: This is the part of the cycle that drives me nuts... already been waiting a week, still way too early to know anything... at least my chart is pretty this time around.

GTKY: Do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? If so, how? Nah, probably not. Maybe I could talk DH into getting Mexican food for dinner, but I know the restaurants will be packed.

ETA: Phone ate part of my post!

[walkek85]

FX for a BFP butlerfan, chart looks good
mrsjene, becwheat, chocolate, kellybenelly83 & michelleca sorry for the BFNs

Cycle/Month: 1

CD/DPO: 25/8

Timing: -2,O,1

Testing Plans: Thursday, if I make it that far

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Was totally optimistic yesterday morning, but started having period-like cramps shortly after my post that lasted all day. Temp is still high but I'm not feeling as excited about this cycle anymore. I will be excited if I have a LP longer than 9 days.

GTKY: Do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? If so, how? Prob not. DH has duty crew for firefighting tonight and then leaves on a work trip until Friday.

Cycle/Month: 6

CD/DPO: 18/

Timing: I think we're ok, for now.

Testing Plans: none

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Ugh. FF moved my CH. I told it to ignore yesterday's temp because I drank too much wine Sunday night. Now my CH are gone and I'm wondering if I've even ovulated yet. To make things worse, DH and I have been having problems with sex. I'm feeling a wealth of feels today. I'm hitting myself for not using OPKs this cycle. Here's my chart if you're feeling up to a chart stalk.

GTKY: I'm making tacos for dinner tonight!

Edit: Dang, I'm having a hard time linking my chart!! Technical difficulties this morning!! Maybe this one will work...
