Test plans: BFN yesterday. I won't test again unless AF is definitely late (like at 16 DPO), but I'm pretty sure I'm out and it won't be necessary to test anymore.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I'm still mad at myself for testing yesterday and making Mother's day even more sad and depressing. I know that a BFN at 11 DPO is still early, but I've also been having my typical PMS symptoms (overly emotional, cramps, etc.), so it seems likely that AF will start in the next couple days.
GTKY: Have you planted anything this year? If so, what? I planted 3 tomato plants and 2 pepper plants! This is my first real vegetable garden at our house, so hopefully I can keep these plants alive and get some yummy veggies from them!
mellochello I know a lot of ladies here use the Mabis BBT
+1 for Mabis!! It's best to get a true BBT that goes to the hundredths decimal place. Do not get a Target brand BBT... they are known for repeating temps.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: My temp dropped some today, so I'm expecting today to turn into CD1
GTKY: Have you planted anything this year? If so, what? We have peppers, tomatoes, squash, peas, spinach, and green (and purple) beans in the garden and in pots. I still need to do work to extend our garden and add more tomato plants, cucumbers, okra, and whatever else looks good when I get to the store this afternoon.
The details: When we decided to try this cycle I wasn't very optimistic, a 20% chance or likely less because of BFing DS, but I was happy to daydream about "what if" and happy this wasn't going to be a month "that got away". Well, am I ever glad we tried! I tested at 4am and left my Wondfo on the counter and went back to sleep. I laughed at myself when I woke up to two lines way outside of the testing time. I tested with another Wondfo and got a positive. After dropping DS off at daycare I got a FRER and another BFP. Yay!!! I'm a worrier. And so it begins. Last time I thought the worry would go away after hearing a heartbeat, or feeling flutters, the A/S, V-Day, getting to term, once he was out, once he could roll, etc. Nope. Still worry about his well being all the time. So, it's a personal goal of mine to not worry so much this time, to enjoy and be thankful for every day. I have so much to be thankful for today!
What we did: We charted temps, CM, CP, etc. and hit O-4 and O-3 before DH travelled for training. Basically, we had sex.
EDD: January 22nd 2016 according to my O date.
Symptoms: I feel good. I'm not as crampy or sore as usual in my LP. I've been more sensitive to DS BFing, but that might just be him soothing himself while tooth #8 is cutting. I've been more thirsty, but it's hot. Yesterday I stuck my gut out and told DH I look KU after eating so much over the weekend. He agreed.
How I told him: I told DH that I had a birthday surprise for him and stuck the test in his face. His first reaction was that he needs to ask for a raise. Everybody's been calling to wish him a happy birthday and he's telling them it's the best birthday ever!
Mushy-mush: Thank you ladies so much for letting me join back in (and rescuing me from TD!) GL everybody! I hope to see you in the grad check in soon!

Cycle/Month: 10/9
CD/DPO: 17/3
Timing: Just O
Test plans: Not unless I'm 'late' which would be the 22nd. So I guess sometime Memorial Day weekend since we're going to be drinking a bunch anyway.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Dotted CH 3rd month in a row woohoo! I pretty much never get CH so...there's that. I also had a 'darker' OPK on what FF says is O so that's something too; they're usually all just squinters. Just wish we could have gotten a little more sex in in my FW. H seems to always be majorly out of the mood in our FW every month.
GTKY: Have you planted anything this year? If so, what? I have radishes coming up in the garden, and various tomatoe and pepper seeds started in our seed thing in our window. Also have ummm...green beans I think? And oregano and basil.
