TGIFriday TWW

[notagoddess]

Cycle: 4 AL

CD/DPO: 26/10

Timing: Good.

Testing Plans: I gave in and tested today at 10 DPO. BFN.

R/R/CS: HOW do you ladies prevent yourselves from testing too early? I know WHY you shouldn't, both from those HPT accuracy tables and from personal experience. My first BFP was a squinter at 12 or 13 DPO. I knew today's test would be a BFN, but somehow I convinced myself to "just see what happens." Now I feel sad, though I don't think I'm out, or that I really got any new information at all.

I just want to stop testing early. I'm angry at myself for obsessing and having no willpower and introducing needless emotional baggage into my day. Does anyone have any practical advice for dealing with these type of thoughts?

GTKY: Definitely a fantasy world where I have superpowers of some sort and where I'm called to fight evil. HP sounds like a great choice.

notagoddess, sorry about the BFN, and FX it was just too early.

That is what I've heard. I remember people freaking out on FB after the finale.

MH and I are some of the few who really didn't mind the last season. :/ I mean it's not my favorite season...but I think it's worth watching... maybe that should be my FFFC.

Yeah I might feel that if I came that far I need to go all the way. I freaking hated how Roseanne ended but I'm glad I watched it. It wouldn't have felt complete.

[summerdonna]

notagoddess, I used to test early in the beginning but after seeing so many BFNs I just can't handle seeing anymore. Hopefully it's just too early!

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: 24/9dpo

Timing: -1, O

Testing Plans: I will NOT test tomorrow! Sunday at the earliest...I'm going to try really hard to wait till Monday. We'll see if I start spotting this weekend.

R/R/CS: Some dull cramps for several days is just messing with my head.

GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be? Hmmm this is tough. I'll go with Sex in the City as well because I'd just want to experience that lifestyle...but only for a little bit!

[hydrangea1019]

mill23 Parenthood is a great show to live in!
FX for you steveo
Good to see you over here requiressnacks!!
Nooooooo shadesofgold! I'm sorry
powerofbacon I think I'm joining you in putting down the therm. I keep telling myself not to temp, but I feel the need to continue. But I think I'm done for this cycle.
FX for you mrsjene
Hugs for you nepatsgal. That's hard to sort through emotions so different.
notagoddess I simply refuse to. In the beginning I tested early so often, but getting those stark white bfns was worse on my psyche than my period showing up a few days later. Now I'll test at 10-11 days (if I make it that far) so if it's positive I'll get my progesterone tested quickly (as suggested by my obgyn since our loss)

Cycle: 13
CD/DPO: 23/5
Timing: good
Testing plans: none
RRCS: I'm going to be in training all next week. So either I'll get a bfp and not really tell anyone or be bummed that my period started. At least, hopefully, it'll keep me busy so I won't get sad about my period.
NGKUR: we are officially under contract on a house!!!!!
GTKY: oooooo this is a good one!! I think I'd live in Big Bang Theory!

notagoddess - I tested early (10/11DPO) the last times and this time am holding out because of this really sophisticated method: I locked the HPTs away. SO knows about it and will not give me the pee stick until 14DPO.


Cycle/Month:4

CD/DPO:25/10

Timing:HIO

Testing Plans:Tues if no AF

R/R/CS:intermittent cramping and sore boobs. aaargh.

GTKY: Harry Potter! (after the 7th book). I also love the Tortall books(by Tamora Pierce) Magic! Talking to animals! Flying!

Seriously, I'm going to try this next cycle.

[walkek85]

amparo1981, that is a great idea! - as long as DH can keep his resolve I think that if I let him in on my symptom spotting he would board the crazy train with me and whip those pee sticks right out!

[penguin129]

**Lurking for GTKY**

Sorry for the BFN's.
nepatsgal Happy Anniversary!

hydrangea1019 I feel like I already live in the Big Bang Theory with how smart DH is. He is always talking about science and comics. 
I'd love to live in Parenthood or HIMYM.

SPOILER: Click to show

{HIMYM Spoiler}
I actually liked the finale of HIMYM. I wish the last season would've had more time with Ted and the mom instead of the season long wedding weekend.

OMG I'm not alone in my love of these! I actually met the author back when I was in high school. She was at a local scifi convention and we got to have a small intimate sit down with her. She's super cool and gave us a lot of insight on the books.

Temp drop this morning. Got up to test anyway. As soon as I set the 3 minute timer, CD1 appeared. Needless to say, FRER was a BFN. Not a great 5 minutes. Better luck to you all!

I'm sorry  The last time I tried to test I wiped and it was CD1. It sucks. Hugs for you!

((hugs shadesofgold)) This is honestly why I hardly ever test. Every single time I've tested, my period starts very shortly after. Now I'm all superstitious about it.

[pismoduo]

Cycle/Month: 11/10
CD/DPO: 25/5
Timing: Ok
Test Plans: 1 week from today (12dpo) if no AF. We're going to an open bar wedding on that Saturday and leaving for vacation Sunday.

R/R/CS: This cycle is making me paranoid. I've had virtually none of my usual post-O symptoms (except a temp spike, negative OPKs and non-fertile CM), and usually by 5dpo my boobs are killing me, I'm exhausted and starving all the time.

Part of my brain is like "Maybe I didn't O?"

So weird.

GTKY: I'm with teraiin - I wanna live in a Gilmore Girls world!

Yeah I probably shouldn't have even bothered with the test once I saw my temp drop, but my thermometer has been crazy before. And I was just so sure there was something different about this cycle. Learned my lesson.

I'm so jealous that you got to meet her!! I would definitely choose the Tortall books, too.

Another green-eyed monster over here. She is one of my faves!

Cycle/Month: 13/11

CD/DPO: 23/ maybe 6 or 7 DPO

Timing: Possibly -3 or -2 and +1

Testing Plans: Nada until I'm 'late' - August 4; although maybe a day before...may last two cycles were 24 and 25 days....yea yea yea. I have a whole bag of wondfo pregnancy tests so, meh.

R/R/CS: Just missing soooo much data this cycle. I'm so fucking sick of DS waking up in th eMOTN.

GTKY: If you could live in a book, TV show or movie, what would it be? I love the Parenthood idea! They make me want a big family
