Cycle/Month: 6 total/ 3 AL
CD/DPO: 53/12
Timing: -1
Testing Plans: No plans
R/R/CS: After lingering right around cover line for a few days, my temp took a nice big drop today. I'm expecting that AF will make her ugly appearance later today or tomorrow.
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? I listen to a lot of country and some pop. Those are my two favorite genres of music and always have been.
Testing Plans: Our 5th Anniversary is Friday, so I'll take a test that morning.
R/R/CS: My temp shot way down below the cover line today, I don't know how I feel about it.
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed? I listen to pop, R&B, hip hop, and rock. Back in high school I had similar tastes, but probably listened to a lot more emo punk rock music. I can still listen to that music, but I don't as often.

I'm pretty sure I go here now. Just waiting on my crosshairs from FF.
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 16/1, maybe 2
Timing: If 1DPO: -3,-1,O
Testing Plans: I will try to hold off until 13DPO but since I have a bunch of HPTs, I won't make any promises.
R/R/CS: I got +OPK on Sat morning and Sat evening and my temp shot up today so that's why I'm pretty sure I O'd. But I guess we'll continue to HIO until I get my crosshairs.
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed? I primarily listen to alt rock. My car radio is on Alt Nation 99% of the time. I do really like some pop music as well, but that is mainly singer/songwriters. I just can't get in to boy bands or the like. I can appreciate most genres of music but my primary taste has been pretty consistent since high school.
R/R/CS: Just hoping I actually O'd this month, my temps are staying up so that's a plus
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed? I generally listen to country and pop, but I love all kinds of music; oldies, R&B, Rap, classical. I listen to whatever fits my mood or activity at the time.
R/R/CS: Nothing TTC related. I somehow hurt my knee over the weekend, ouch!
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed?
I like a little bit of everything: country, pop, alternative, classic rock, some rap. Recently I've been crushing on the alternative radio station. They play a lot of new alt music but also throw back to stuff that was out when I was in high school. It's fun hearing it again on the radio. My taste has stayed roughly the same since high school, but with less of the emo stuff.

Cycle/Month: 11/15
CD/DPO: 24/4
Timing: -4, -1
Testing Plans: None
R/R/CS: I was so happy to get CHs yesterday and that I ovulated in decent time this month. I was getting a little worried I'd be on my period for vacation in three weeks but now I definitely won't be!
GTKY: My favorite is classic rock but I listen to a lot of different music. The only music I'm really not into is country.
Post by hydrangea1019 on Jul 27, 2015 7:46:38 GMT -5
I go here now. I tend to have a shorter LP so I jump over as soon as that temp spikes and all other signs point to O.
kayladawn91 sorry about the temp drop @nepatsgirl FX for a fantastic anniversary present!! summerdonna yay for a period free vacation!!
Cycle: 13 CD/DPO: 19/1 Timing: -4, -2, and O Testing plans: none. RRCS: temp spike this morning. I thought it spiked yesterday, but when I looked at my saved temp on the thermometer it definitely did not. DH got 1 more time last night and the temp went up today. GTKY: I like a big variety. Pop, country, contemporary Christian, hip hop... Just depends on the song. I grew up into pop and country music.
R/R/CS: Temp dip today. Been crampy for the last few days. Thinking we're out this cycle.
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed? I listen to a lot of different things. If I'm just hanging out and want to throw something on it'll usually be John Mayer pandora.

kayladawn91, thanks for starting. Sorry about the temp drop.
Cycle/Month: 4 AL
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: Good
Testing Plans: Sunday at 12 DPO
R/R/CS: I had light but noticeable cramps all day yesterday. They were not localized to one area but rather throughout. It was in the back of my mind all day -- what does it mean?? I'm on the crazy train sooner than I hoped to board this cycle.
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed? I mostly listened to alternative in HS. I do too now, but I prefer lighter stuff like pop. DNW depressing emo music playing all day. I also feel music much less deeply than I did when I was younger. Anyone else experience that?
R/R/CS: Temp was down a bit today, although it's about what it typically is at this DPO for me. It could be a sign it'll continue dropping and AF will come in a few days. Or it could be that I left the AC on last night. Or it could be neither. Not over thinking it.
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed?
TBH I like a little bit of everything. I like some country, some alternative rock, some classic rock, some Christian, musicals, foreign music. I don't tend to universally like one genre but rather specific artists/songs from different genres.
notagoddess, I'm the same way with music not feeling as deep to me anymore. In high school, music was my life. I played music, downloaded a TON of music, and listened to it constantly. I always connected so deeply. But now, I listen to the radio in the car and that's pretty much it. I haven't downloaded music or bought a CD in a few years.
Post by sleepymonkey on Jul 27, 2015 8:22:46 GMT -5
notagoddess, I don't feel music as much either. In high school and college, I had music on all the time. And there were often times I would just listen to a song over and over because I loved it so much. I had an extensive CD collection (no downloads, it was the 90s) and couldn't imagine not having music playing most of the time. Now, I basically just listen to the radio in the car, I haven't updated music on my ipod in a few years, and it is very rare that I hear a song that gives me chills (the last one was at least 2 years ago).
Cycle/Month: 4/3 CD/DPO: CD18 / No idea Timing: Good...or crappy Testing Plans: None. R/R/CS: Would someone better at this than I am mind chart stalking me, please? I'm confused. If I switch to FAM analysis, I have solid CHs on CD13, on Advanced I have dotted CHs on CD15. All physical signs clearly pointed to the night of CD12 into CD13, but I realize those don't correlate perfectly with actual O day. Though, after the dip this morning it's all probably moot anyway...
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed? Everything, but mostly hip hop & rock. I was a hard core Nirvana fan in HS...used plaid shirts and Doc Martens for LYFE.
Also, there was a GTKY last week that I wanted to answer but forgot to sneak in...I have BOTH skydived (in college) and bungee jumped (on the bridge over Victoria Falls in Zambia). I will NEVER do either again.
notagoddess totally agree that music is not a "thing" for me like it used to be. I could seriously sit with my friends and listen to Miseducation of Lauryn Hill like 5x in a row and really FEEL that shit.
It also doesn't help that songs I loved so much are now being played on the 90s / "classics" channel. What the what?
steveo, what were the circumstances behind the 3 excluded temps?
I think CD 13 is more likely based on secondary signs.
Sorry, should have explained that -- we had a heatwave in NYC that weekend, and our AC was broken. So the house was literally 90+ degrees those three days -- I was sweaty and nasty and not sleeping those days, and it showed in my temps...
Testing Plans: Wednesday if I'm not out by then and if I can have some self control!
R/R/CS: I'm just really confused and have officially boarded the crazy train. I started spotting yesterday at 9dpo, very light, and it was only there a couple of times. Same thing today but my temp went up. Usually, I spot the day before AF but I know things can be different after a loss. Bleh, here's my chart:
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed? I like everything except country! Same as high school/college!
Testing Plans: Wednesday. Husband is leaving town for three days for business. I will not have his self control keeping me in check when he is gone, so we agreed to get it out of the way so I can stay sane.
R/R/CS: My temps post-o are starting to resemble a cat.
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed? I am still stuck in 2001-2005 indie music.

pbandj714, sleepymonkey, yep I used to listen to music all day and it was a major part of my identity. It was also the basis of many of my friendships and at least one HS relationship. We would sit together and listen to music for hours and make mixed tapes for each other and bond over how we related to the music. We were snobs and laughed that other people listened to manufactured pop music.
Now I enjoy the manufactured pop music while driving on a regular basis. And I have no idea what music many of my friends listen to these days...

txmommy14, could be just random spotting, could be something else. Fx for you! And you're absolutely correct, things can be wonky after a loss. Hugs.
steveo, I agree with notagoddess, CD13 seems spot on. I always get a fall back rise just like that after I O. Could be that.
Cycle/Month: 10/11
CD/DPO: 22/8
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing Plans: 11 or 12 dpo most likely
R/R/CS: It's Monday. Boo. This weekend went by way too quickly.
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed? I'm a fan of Top 40 and popular Country primarily.
My taste hasn't changed from the Top 40, but I hated Country in high school. I also listened to a lot of Christian Rock which I definitely don't listen to anymore.

steveo, I'd guess CD15 based on your temps, but CD13 based on sticky CM. Good timing, even if it was the later date - you hit -2, which is statistically the best day for conception. See chart here.
txmommy14, I don't want to get your hopes up, but your chart is looking mighty fine. Unfortunately spotting, tender breasts and cramps are also tell-tale signs of AF, so there's that. Since you're 1 AL, it is really hard to read anything into anything. My first cycle AL was a short LP and a lot of peaks and valleys. FX for you though!
Cycle/Month: Cycle 7 (5 AL)
CD/DPO: 28/7
Timing: Good
Testing Plans: OB appointment to test progesterone (I assume they'll run a pregnancy test). Since I don't put weight in a test on 8 DPO, I'm planning to test Friday.
R/R/CS: Is there room for one more on your crazy train, notagoddess? Last night I felt a mild cramp (like a flutter) on the right side of lower abdomen followed by prolonged feeling of pressure or clenching around my cervix for like 30 minutes. I also had sharp boob pain. (You know, the kind that feels like someone is pulling a threaded needle through your tit?) I know 6 DPO is early for this kind of symptom spotting, but here we are. I also had a temp bump today, but I slept like shit last night, so I'm not counting that for much. GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed? I like indie, folk, alternative and pop. Pretty much the same genres since high school. I used to listen to a bit of country (in the era of the Dixie Chicks) but don't anymore.
steveo - I agree with the others that CD13 seems the most likely for O, but CD15 could be a possibility too. Hopefully your temps in the coming days will make your chart more clear. Andrea - I want to see the cat chart too!
Good luck to everyone testing soon! Seems like a lot of us are around 10-11 DPO...
Cycle/Month: 11/10
CD/DPO: 23/11
Timing: -2, +1
Testing Plans: Only if I make it past 14 DPO
R/R/CS: My chart looks really great right now. But I often get a spike around 10-12 DPO, followed by a big dip to signal AF is coming. So my charts always look great until they don't... haha. Also, I had a ton of weird dreams last night, so that totally means I'm KU, right?!
GTKY: What genre of music do you like? Is it the same as what you listened to in high school/college/etc. or has your taste in music changed? I listen to whatever is on the radio and/or my Pandora stations, so I guess my favorite genres are pop and alternative. Like many others, I used to be much more invested in the music I listened to and what it said about me and my personality and my feelings. Now I just listen to whatever is convenient. I do like music, but now it's usually more background noise. In high school, I was into punk rock.
R/R/CS: Even though I know we probably have no chance, I'm starting to see the crazy train come into the station. I need to test tomorrow so I can stop wondering. I was away for work all weekend and not temping so I have no idea what my body is doing. Either way tomorrow I'll be 17 or 10 DPO so I'm just going for it. My boobs are sore, I'm peeing ALL the time and I'm exhausted/just feel off. I know that is most likely just jet lag + travel + alcohol + late nights but it's making me crazy.
GTKY: I still listen to the same style of music, generally indie rock or folk, and a lot of the same bands I liked in high school are still on rotation in my ipod (I'm looking at you Third Eye Blind)
Related to the music discussion notagoddess, sleepymonkey, pbandj714: I recently read a really interesting blog post about how generally people stop listening to new music at age 33, and earlier if you're a parent: Link here

Cycle/Month:10
CD/DPO:30/9
Timing:-3
Testing Plans:none
R/R/CS: I switched FF to FAM and it changed my solid CHs from cd16 to dotted CHs on CD21. My temps seem to align with that, but now we have terrible timing.
GTKY: I love all music, and always have. I agree with other PPs that it felt more intense when I was younger. I listen to a lot of indie/classic rock on a day to day basis and am was into folk/bluegrass too. There is perfect music for every occasion:)
