GTKU: Do you have any superstitions?


Edit: Missed one!

[shadesofgold]

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 27/10 DPO

Timing: Good

Testing Plans: Friday (12 DPO)

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I am having pain this morning to the side, more in the ovary area than the uterus area. I was woken up by it, it has gotten a little better after peeing, but is still whining at me. I don't really get PMS cramps (but I know I'm only 2 months off BC and should expect changes) and the location of the pain is kind of confusing. Googling didn't help. I guess I just stamped my ticket to the crazy train.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? I knock on wood if I say something I don't want to come to pass. I will make other people do it, too. I also have an irrational fear of Bigfoot which isn't superstitious exactly, but it is crazy.

[ericalee2013]

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: 27/11

Timing: -1, 0

Testing Plans: only is AF isn't here by Saturday.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: FF has changed my crosshairs twice this month. Not sure what's up with that.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? I always scratch my palms toward me when they itch because that means I'm going to receive money. Never scratch away because that means I'll give money away.

[papm951214]

FX for you shadesofgold! Let us know how it goes.

Cycle/Month: 1/1    

CD/DPO: 27/9

Timing: High (-4, -3, -2, -1)

Testing Plans: Friday, 11 DPO

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I'm feeling some tightening/pulling/sometimes pinching on my left side right inside the pelvic bone, ,my temp is the highest its been, and I've also had what I think are some waves of slight nausea. I'm fighting really hard not to symptom spot, and considering this is my first cycle, I know better than to look at every twinge and put emphasis on it. Could be PMS symptoms, could be the Mexican food I had last night. I asked Dr. Google way too many things yesteday around the nausea and pain, and basically didn't get anything worthwhile. I'll just stay the course and test Friday.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? Nah, I'm not a superstitious person.

[wowcheezits]

Cycle/Month: 6

CD/DPO: 33/13

Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0

Testing Plans: none

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: two temps in a row below the cover line. Period's probably coming today or tomorrow.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions?
1) Palms itch in right hand means money coming. Palms itch in left hand means money going.
2) Ringing in the ear means someone's talking about you. Name off a few people and when your ear stops ringing that means they're the ones talking about you.
3) If a broom, knife, or any silverware drops on the floor means company's coming over.
4) An owl out in daylight is a sign of death.

[stoney1019]

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 30/16

Timing: -3, -2, O, +1

Testing Plans: Friday (18DPO) if no AF. I had BFN on 12DPO

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Temp dip this morning, not too low but it's worrisome (See siggy). This is my longest cycle ever.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? I don't really. I used to during NHL playoffs but I'm not really watching hockey these days.

[cnf2013]

Cycle/Month: 3/3

CD/DPO: 21/4

Timing: good, -3 & -1

Testing Plans: 10 or 11dpo, somwhere in that time frame

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: None really. My chart looks nice

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? Not really. I'm very much a creature of habit though and certain things I do not like changed, but I wouldn't call it superstious per say.

[teraiin]

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: 30/8

Timing: High

Testing Plans: Not until AF is 'late'. (Or so I tell myself)

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Nothing really. My temp has been a bit rocky post O, but the past couple of days has climbed steadily. I had a strange 'crampy' feeling that more felt like my pelvic area was being tightened or something (kind of like a seatbelt feeling???) but I know it's just my brain looking for absolutely anything to grasp at. FF changing up my CH sort of makes me question when I should test. Oh well. Overall I'm much more patient than the last couple of cycles. I feel much more relaxed about things. I don't feel like I've boarded the crazy train (yet).

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? I knock on wood... there's some other things I do that I can't think of off the top of my head.

[morwen]

Cycle/Month: 9

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: EOD

Testing Plans: nope

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: just passing the time hoping my egg is fertilized

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? Not really

[14joa31]

Cycle/Month: 6/5

CD/DPO: 20/?

Timing: unknown

Testing Plans: Sunday night, if no AF by then

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My temp went up today, but it's probably because I stayed up late last night, drank two glasses of sauvignon blanc and watched the movie Gone Girl. I had read the book - I am delighted that the movie stayed true to the book - what a thriller!!

And I am so excited for Friday - looks like there will be some folks testing and *hopefully* this thread will be blowing up with BFPs!!

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? LMAO - I'm Catholic so I have a ton. If you die while wearing a scapular, you can get out of purgatory and go to heaven on the Saturday after you die (if you die on a Saturday, it's a direct flight), if you go to a church where you've never been before and say certain prayers, it releases a soul from purgatory, etc. It's a lot of get out of jail free card type stuff.

[14joa31]

powerofbacon - yes, I forgot about the Scottish play one! And never say "good luck" to a stage actor, only say "Break a Leg."

[mrsgbmack]

Cycle/Month: 6/6

CD/DPO: 30/19

Timing: -1,1

Testing Plans: Next week if AF doesn't shlw

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Can someone tell me how ro link my chart? I'd like some opinions/thoughts. This is my first month temping.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? Not really- I do knock on wood sometimes and sometimes hold my breath when driving by a cemetery

Edit to add my chart link (if I'm not tech dumb today)

[icequeen]

Cycle/Month: 6/5

CD/DPO: 26/8

Timing: -5 -3 -2 O +1

Testing Plans: Sunday (12 DPO)

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Meh, nothing really other than I'm sick I hope this illness isn't causing my temps to be falsely high.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? Nope.

[Deleted]

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 27/12

Timing: High

Testing Plans: Tested - on 10 dpo, and today I tested, and then got in the shower. When I got out, there was a hint of a line forming on both edges, and for a second I thought, but then I realized that it was either evap or steam from the shower from it. I'll test again tomorrow because I'm a crazy person, but I pretty much expect AF in a couple of days.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Just waiting it out, stalking charts on FF that got negatives on day 10 but positives later to make me feel better.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? I hold up the ceiling when going through a tunnel, and I knock on wood. Farmers are weird, I worked at a CO-OP at some point where all the farmers bring their grain, and I asked what the procedure is if there was a fire in one of the grain bins. She looked at me like I had just spat in her face.

Grain bins explode when they catch on fire, which I did not know. I had to asked DH who is a volunteer fire fighter, and he said they evacuate the town. Excusseee me for wanting a little bit of safety training, no it's fine when one catches aflame I'll just meander outside and watch it blow. Thanks boss, good to know this crucial information that could mean my life or death, because you're a little superstitious that we shouldn't talk about such things.

You can go to FF, and on one of the top right tabs there's a sharing with a little arrow pointing down. You can get the links and tickers and stuff there on that tab.

[catinatophat]

Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD/DPO: 24/11

Timing: eh, -3 and -1

Testing Plans: BFN today. Just waiting on my period to show so we can try this again.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Kind of down because of BFN this morning and then on the phone with my mom she out of the blue asks when we're going to have another and if I have anything to tell her. They were innocent questions but just bad timing.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? I knock on wood, if your palm itches then you'll get $ (lies), that's about it.

I'm no expert and I'm totally lurking, but your chart looks like you may have O'd on CD 18. if you change your settings to FAM do you get different crosshairs?

[becwheat]

Cycle/Month:

CD/DPO: 30/12

Timing: good

Testing Plans: Not anymore

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Temp dipped again and I am pretty sure I am out... though I am skeptical of having such low temps after O in general and part of me wonders if I really O'd? BUT I will trust FF and go with it!

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions?: I knock on wood.

Thanks! Apparently I needed to set up a homepage to get a link

Cycle/Month: 3 / 4

CD/DPO: 31 / 8

Timing: -5, -3, -1

Testing Plans: 12 DPO (I changed it because if I test on Sunday, DH will be at home with me)

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: So I have been cramping on and off again the past couple days. And today my back is really sore. Regardless of what caused my sore back (cause I am not ready for the crazy train yet), it is putting a damper on my day.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? Not really.

+1 on kellybenelly83's feedback. I think you O'd on CD 18 too.

Cycle/Month: 4ish, I think.

CD/DPO:9dpo

Timing:great

Testing Plans: If I make it to sunday

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: my 13mo old his immunizations, and cutting two front teeth, so no sleep to be had,so no temp.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? I try not to say things to jinx them!


Edit: Missed one!

[longhornwino0907]

Cycle/Month: 12/13

CD/DPO: 20/8

Timing: High

Testing Plans: Holding out for my beta on Feb. 3

Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Had some tugging/pain in my lower abdomen yesterday. Hesitant to stay uterine twinges because it was more spread out. Trying not to read into it. Obvs I'm only in the middle of the implantation time-frame, so there's nothing to what I'm feeling. Also trying to get people around me to stop symptom spotting. Most of my co-workers (I work in an office of about 15 people) know that we did an IUI this month, so they're practically as excited as I am to know the results.

GTKY: Do you have any superstitions? I throw spilled salt over my left shoulder. Knock on wood sometimes. Usually hold my breath passing a cemetery.

[momomel]

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 33 / 15 dpo

Timing: meh

Testing Plans: Neg yesterday at 14dpo. I've used all of the tests in my general vicinity. I"m not allowed to use anymore so i guess i will never know if AF doesn't show up. 

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: i think i may have actually gotten off the crazy train if thats possible. 

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? No superstitions, but I have a number of irrational fears, like my pants will get ripped off on the escalator or that a pigeon will poop in my beverage while i am walking down the street and I won't know it and i will drink it. Hahahah.

[mynameiscarrie]

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 32/7

Timing: -4- super low

Testing Plans: I want to wait until Sunday morning (11 DPO), but I'll probably cave and test Saturday morning at 10 DPO.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My temp went up a little today. Not a huge jump, but it was still an increase. I have been RIDICULOUSLY bloated since I O'd. The whole week before AF bloat is very real for me, but I usually gain about 2-3 pounds of water weight. I have gained 6 POUNDS this week. And I LOOK it. I feel like a balloon. I drink over 100 oz of water a day, I exercise 5-6x per week, I eat well, I just am hanging onto water like a mother fucker. I thought it was because I quit taking Wellbutrin (I was on it to quit smoking-which I did) but I stopped taking it almost 3 weeks ago and it's just been this past week I gained weight? I'm not sure. No matter what the cause of it, it sucks.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions?
Not really. None that I can think of at least. I have routines I do before certain lifts at the gym, but I don't know if that's superstition or habit. I don't kiss the barbell or anything, but I have to set my feet until it feels "right"- things like that.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought I did too but I had a very clear shift from EWCM to Creamy for one day then dry on CD18 and also cervical position from high soft to medium then hard. So I'm kind of stumped between the 2.

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 27/5

Timing: good

Testing Plans: I guess 11DPO-- see rant

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I have a chiropractor appointment/deep tissue massage on 11DPO. Does anyone know if that is ok or if I should reschedule? I heard somewhere that it's bad to get massages during 1st tri (not positive why though), so I'm wondering if they should be avoided late in the TWW? I would really rather not move the appointment if I don't have to, but obviously I will if it could potentially cause problems.

GTKU: Do you have any superstitions? Not really, just knock on wood.

If you are worried about it, test at 10 DPO (knowing the accuracy probability is low) which would give you time to cancel if you get a BFP. (Most places have a 24 hour cancellation policy - you don't want to pay for something you don't get!) WebMD essentially says "maybe, but probably not" on massage in early pregnancy: www.webmd.com/baby/pregnancy-and-massage?page=2   You could also just call the therapist or studio and straight up ask what they think you should do.

[14joa31]

@usernamesarehard - I had a massage in my first tri and it was fine. I did a lot of research beforehand and I couldn't find anything linking massage to pregnancy risks. Based on my reading, women who have m/c's in the first tri have sometimes blamed their chiro or massage therapist, so these professionals might be nervous about treating you. When I had a massage in my first tri, I didn't tell the therapist I was pregnant so she didn't have to worry or freak out about me blaming her later.

[shadesofgold]

mynameiscarrie - Good for you for quitting smoking!

Www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2caa8b

Lurking from WTO... Do you temp orally? You may want to try switching to vaginally next cycle. I'm pretty sure your CH's are accurate due to the positive OPK, but more accurate temps might cut back on the huge temp swings on your chart and make things easier to interpret. Good luck!
