I had to check to make sure today was actually Tuesday. OOF.
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 23/9
Timing: fine
Test plans: 5/20 (CD 31) if no AF
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I oscillate between really impatient and excited to just feeling "meh" and nervous. H's job is wreaking havoc on my nerves and a small part of me wants to wait it all out until I know that I will have a partner who is home at night. Other times, I want this to happen SO badly.
GTKY: I am a runner/triathlete, no usually when I want to feel good or blow off steam, I go for a run. Lately that hasn't been working for me, so I need to get to a yoga class.

Confirmed O this morning so I'm hopping over here
ironbaby I hope H's job calms down soon so your nerves can relax. Is this a particular stressful time for his job or is this the norm?
Cycle: 10/1AL CD/DPO: 19/3 Timing: -1 and O Test plans: none GTKY: I love spin class, but I haven't been in years. Now I've been trying to get my butt back into shape and I've been doing videos at home. I've got 30 Day Shred and Biggest Loser Bootcamp I alternate between.
hydrangea1019, He has a relatively new job. Neither of us knew it would involve travel. He's been out of town 5 weeks out of 9. He was home yesterday, but didn't actually get home from the job til 8pm. I don't know if this is normal, but if it is, I will not put up with it.
Timing: -6, -4, -2, O, +2 (I'm not 100% sure of O day. 98%, but not 100%, so I'm including all the days in the general vicinity.)
Test plans: None. Absolutely none. I'm so over it.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I am in a complete funk. Last month, I was *obsessed* with getting pregnant again as soon as possible. This month, I don't know. I'm realizing that TTC has decreased my quality of life, and I'm not keen on continuing with that trend.
GTKY: What's your favorite form of exercise? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Eating.
ironbaby that's terrible, I hate when company's are not up front about what a job is like, it only hurts them in the end because it causes more turnover. I hope it works out or DH finds something better!
Cycle/Month: 1/1 CD/DPO: 30/15 Timing: medium Test plans: Tomorrow if no CD1, but I am pretty sure I'm out.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I am pretty certain that AF will be here before tomorrow AM, but we'll see, first cycle off BC so everything is a little wonky. GTKY: What's your favorite form of exercise? I love spin and also barre classes, I really love classes.
Thanks for starting, ironbaby - I hope that your DH's job settles down soon - that is so stressful!
Cycle/Month: 9 CD/DPO: 24/13 Timing: -3 Test plans: Caved last night ... BFP on the Wondfo! Chugged water like crazy to test again an hour later and got a squinter on a FRER!
What we did: Temping, Vitamin B-Complex, Acupuncture (my acupuncturist told me that good circulation and staying warm is important for blood flow to the ute when trying to conceive - so I've been drinking hot drinks and eating hot foods)
EDD: January 20, 2016 according to my O date. I know for a fact that we conceived this baby on my birthday. Someday this kid will count backwards and think "ewwww...."
Symptoms: I've had some light spotting and my boobs are a tad sore.
How I told him: DH is on a work trip so I told him over Skype - it was funny to wave the stick around in front of the web cam - he was so excited!! (I had to translate the Wondfo for him).
Mushy-mush: I think I would have lost my mind over these past few months without all of you. This TTC journey has been way crazier and more trying than with DS. You are a gorgeous, kind, warm and funny group of ladies. I am better for having known all of you. I will be lurking, FXing and love-titting - and waiting for you all in J'16!! xoxoxoxo!
Favorite Exercise: Riding my bike, spin, body pump and yoga.
Test plans: if I don't start spotting this weekend then next Wednesday (5/20)
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: nope
GTKY: What's your favorite form of exercise? Running or riding my bike. We have some sweet paved bike trails in my town and I'm ready to get back on them. We have had so much flooding this spring that they have been underwater.
Congrats 14joa31!!!!!! FX for you tomorrow mrss44! mlgnumbers, sorry you are having a hard time. For me, those hard days come unexpectedly and it makes it all the harder to cope with. (Hugs)
Cycle/Month: 6 / 8
CD/DPO: 27 / 10
Timing: -2, 0
Test plans: 12 DPO (Thursday)
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I am on the crazy train. Sore boobs, cramping, feeling a little bloated. I am feeling very hopeful for this cycle.
GTKY: What's your favorite form of exercise? Hiking or walking. I don't like jogging or running, but I love to walk. I put hiking in there, but really its glorified walking outside (or at least the hiking that I do).
Test plans: Saturday if my temp hasn't started to drop. AF is due on Sunday (happy anniversary from my ute)
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: I keep doing the "Oh, look temp dip at 7 dpo! Temp is going back up! This is it!" and then I do the Chart Overlay on FF and remember that my temps do this every month.
GTKY: What's your favorite form of exercise? Golf is as close to exercise as I get. Unless you count yardwork.
Congratulations, 14joa31!!! So happy for you! FX for those testing soon - mrss44 and @metalmoliver!
ironbaby - some cycles I test "early" and sometimes I don't. It kind of depends on what type of mood and TTC attitude I am in at that time in my cycle. Sometimes I feel like I could handle another BFN, and sometimes I'd rather just wait it out. I usually wait until at least 11 or 12 DPO to test at all, since anything before then is not very reliable.
Cycle/Month: 8/8
CD/DPO: 27/13
Timing: -3, -1, O
Test plans: BFN on 11DPO. No more testing.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: HUGE temp drop this morning which means I'm most likely out and AF should be starting today (or possibly tomorrow).
GTKY: What's your favorite form of exercise? I love to run!
Congrats 14joa31, Hope you have a wonderful 9! You are always hilarious W, I love your line about being finished being your favorite part!
ironbaby, I've never gotten a positive prior to 12dpo so I know if I test before then I'm probably peeing on $, but sometimes the crazy thoughts occur (and it is possible to get as the chart pp shows) and it's sometimes I just give in to the temptation to get it over with also bc it is "early" I can let myself down easily with a negative. My lp is 14-15days
cycle 11/13 I think dang you would think I could keep up but not so easy actually, I haven't used contraception for so long but 2 months of the last year we moved to ntnp so I'm confused how to count it CD/DPO: 9dpo
Timing: -3, 0
Test plans: only if no red
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks:
GTKY: What's your favorite form of exercise? My favorite form of exercise is trail running, but as I am horribly out of shape for that I'll say a hike.
