R/R/CS: I wouldn't mind a chart stalk. My chart looks a little crazy. Not sure if I really ovulated on CD 15.
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? DH's birthday is Thursday so we'll do something special for him that night.

Who's joining me on the crazy train today?
Cycle: 7 (4 AL)
CD/DPO: 29/10
Timing: -5, -1
Testing Plans: Well I wasn't planning on it. But my temp is higher than it usually is at this point in my cycle so I'm happy about that (not happy enough to test this early though). If it's still up tomorrow I might test on Wednesday? I don't know. I think I'm being crazy, because I know how much I hate seeing a BFN and I feel like I'm setting myself up for disappointment.
R/R/CS: See rant above.
GTKY: I find out on Wednesday if I got the job, so I'm looking forward to just knowing what the school year will look like and whether I'll be in a classroom like I'm hoping or stuck in an office in my support position.
Testing Plans: Today, BFN, but I was expecting it. I'm going to try and wait till Thursday now.
R/R/CS: not much going on. I've been having a hard time with my temps because I keep waking up at 5am, when I usually temp at 6:30, and I know I won't have 2 hours of sleep by then so I just temp. Then temp again when I get up at 6:30. I've been going with the earlier temp but it could be messing things up. At least the temps are just for my info now and don't really matter.
GTKY: I'm going to the beach on Friday for a week!! Cannot wait.
R/R/CS: I wouldn't mind a chart stalk. My chart looks a little crazy. Not sure if I really ovulated on CD 15.
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? DH's birthday is Thursday so we'll do something special for him that night.
Can you link your chart? I'm mobile so can't see siggys.
R/R/CS: SO was reading over my shoulder while I was on TCF and was highly amused at all the abbreviations we use on GKU.
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? Re-installed the MFP app on my phone. Lost weight last year using it, then slowly gained it right back. Am feeling unacceptably jiggly right now, so looking forward to tracking my calories again and seeing the numbers go down. Hopefully.

Testing Plans: Not sure. Saturday will be DPO 11. Tempting to do it then because we are going on a little overnight trip, and it would be fun to tell H. And you know, drinking. Otherwise, I will probably wait until not AF around the 31st.
R/R/CS:
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? I'm pretty sure that I have decided to call out on Friday. That is all that's getting me through this week!!!
Wow that is a hard chart to read! Its tougher than most in the FF charting game. If it wasn't for your CM I think 11 or 17 could be options, but it's really not clear. I wish I could help but I'd say just keep temping and hopefully it will become more clear.
Sorry about the BNF mill23. amparo1981, what is the MFP app? I'm always looking for ways to reign in my diet.
Cycle/Month: 4(2AL)
CD/DPO: 23/7
Timing: -2,-1,O
Testing Plans: 14DPO
R/R/CS: WTF, another low temp this morning. If this keeps up, this will be my shortest LP yet. Total bummer
GTKY: We are going to the MN State Fair on Thursday (big deal here in MN) and I can't wait to gorge myself with all the awesome food. We are also celebrating our 7 year anniversary with a nice dinner on Saturday.

kayladawn91, thanks for starting. Your chart looks promising. FX! nepatsgal, based on the previous month's chart and CM, I agree with FF. It's hard to tell for sure at this point. mill23, sorry for the BFN. I hope you get a better result on Thursday. amparo1981, MH laughs at some of the acronyms too. I tell him we have to HIO on a regular basis. He likes the term babydance the most. He says it makes it seem like a game.
Cycle/Month: 5 AL / 7 total
CD/DPO: 22/7
Timing: Good
Testing Plans: Saturday at 12 DPO.
R/R/CS: I'm still feeling optimistic.
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? I'm starting classes today! I'm so excited to go back to school and invest in my career that way.
R/R/CS: my temp was lower than I wanted to see but I still got CH, plus it was quite a bit cooler in the house last night...
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? The weekend my friend and I are going to grab lunch today so that will be fun.
Testing Plans: None yet. Trying to just wait out AF.
R/R/CS: I go between super hopeful and being sure I'm out. Trying to be more zen about approaching 10+dpo this cycle. Got my hopes up bad last time and trying to manage my expectations better. Also, still crampy. Boo to that.
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? Nothing really special going on this week for me. Maybe it's a sign that I should plan or come up with something to look forward to...
R/R/CS: Hooray for CH's today! I'll be on the crazy train soon I'm sure!
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? DD is starting a new preschool tomorrow. I'm so excited to get her back into the school routine.

Cycle/Month: 7/4AL
CD/DPO: 24/12dpo
Timing: I think pretty good
Testing Plans: I took one at 10dpo with a bfn and now I'm scared to test again if no sign of AF by Friday then yes
R/R/CS: My grandmother super guilted me yesterday saying both that I'm getting fat (even though I'm 16 lbs down since my MC which she knows about) and that if I don't get pregnant and she dies I'll feel really bad about it---to which I wanted to reply that she really overestimates how much of a crap I give about her. I felt hurt and angry but also so much pressure because I can't force myself to get pregnant and as a woman she should understand especially when my aunt (her daughter) had unexplained infertility and my cousin was born only after multiple rounds of IF. My grandma is the queen of the bitches. Sorry, rant over.
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? Going to set up my classroom tomorrow!!! Yes it means vacay is almost over but it also means I can use all my borders and pretty stuff on the walls! Also I got a belated birthday gift card and I'm excited to spend it lol!

Cycle/Month: 6/6
CD/DPO: 3dpo
Timing: -4 -2 -1 0
Testing Plans: September 3rd, since we go out of town the next day.
R/R/CS: FF confirmed CH today.
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? I've got a friend coming out this week, should be able to get dinner with her one day.
Sorry for the BFN, mill23. nepatsgal - I could see either CD15 or CD17 being O day. CD15 looks a bit more likely due to CM. Hopefully your temps in the next few days will make your chart more clear.
Cycle/Month: 12/11
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing Plans: Yesterday was a BFN. I won't test again unless my period is "late"
R/R/CS: Still feeling all crampy like I usually do before AF. No spotting yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm out this month.
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? My sister and BIL are coming up to our house tomorrow for dinner! I always love getting together with them. And of course there's the possibility that we could get our first foster care placement this week... FX!
R/R/CS: I'm just discouraged and emotional. Yesterday I had a sharp (like almost doubling over in pain) localized pain in the exact place my appendix was all day. If I hadn't had my appendix out a few months ago, I would have thought it was that. I had a friend who also had her appendix out and said she still gets pain there from the scar tissue. I'm just worried about what could have caused that. My OB wants me to come in for an U/S. I'm not symptom spotting because I am full on spotting now (even on progesterone, it didn't take the several days of spotting away even though I haven't stopped the progesterone yet). I know it can take people's bodies a while to get back to normal after a loss, I guess I just assumed it would normalize three months later.
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? Gosh. I don't know. There are several things I'm dreading this week, I need some positivity! The weather is a little less miserable, not in the 100's, so I am excited about though and will hopefully start taking some walks.
Testing Plans: I took one at 10dpo with a bfn and now I'm scared to test again if no sign of AF by Friday then yes

My grandma is the queen of the bitches. Sorry, rant over.
Wow, I can't believe she would say that to you. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Hugs and hopefully you can put it out of your mind.
nepatsgal, I'd say CD17 at this point, but what is the reason for the open dot on CD18? Maybe that is throwing FF off? FWIW I usually have a day or two of non-fertile CM before O so I wouldn't read too much into the fact that you have creamy when your temp spiked.
I'm sorry that your grandmother is such a bitch, vancitygirl. Those are some pretty terrible things to say. Chalk it up to her old age and try to shake it off! FX for you, too!
txmommy14, sorry for your BFN. I understand being frustrated with your body after a loss - it seems like things should correct themselves, but obviously our bodies can defy reason and our own hopes.
Cycle/Month: Cycle 8 (6 AL)
CD/DPO: 25/3
Timing: High
Testing Plans: Tues, 9/1 (11 DPO)
R/R/CS: Glad to be here!
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week? I have fun plans with friends a few times this week!

walkek85, it's My Fitness Pal. A journal for what you eat and how much you work out. You enter your current weight and what you want to get down to. Last year it was really sobering to see that what I thought of as one serving was actually two. At least. Cutting down on that and the snacking (or, rather, seeing that if I snacked, no dinner) helped a lot.
shadesofgold, The open dot is because I woke up a little later than usual. I did notice that if I change my CM to watery, FF changes my CH's to CD17. I thought CD 17 looked better with the temp spike, but I just wasn't sure.
Fx kayladawn91! Sorry for the BFN mill23 and for CD 1 ellabee. That wasn't very nice of your grandmother vancitygirl. I'm sorry she said that to you.
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD/DPO: 24/5
Timing: -2, -1, O
Testing Plans: not sure.
R/R/CS: my temp took a huge nose dive well below cover line today. I know it can mean nothing but I still don't like it. It has me thinking I may not have O'd yet but I'm getting creamy CM which is typical post O for me. Plus, I took another OPK today and it is negative but maybe almost positive? I don't know. It's my first cycle using them so I started early and none of them have been stark white. Is that normal? Also, can I maybe get a chart stalk, please? I'm going to try to add it here but i don't know if it'll work...
GTKY: Let's keep this Monday positive! What is something you're looking forward to this week?
Getting back on track with healthier dinners at home. We've been eating out a lot lately.
