I have lots of leftover cake from dinner last night, so it was on my mind.
I've never made cake from scratch, only from a box. But I have flour, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder at home. Maybe I should try to find a recipe and get to work?

Do it.
I was really intimidated at first, but it's so easy if you just follow a recipe. Go for it! The hard part is icing it and making it pretty, but as long as it tastes good, no one cares what it looks like.

britta, I haven't temped since getting my CH as the plan was to skip it all together during the TWW. However, I was so tempted to do so this morning for some stupid reason - not like it would have meant much. I didn't but I totally get why you did this morning!
Cycle/Month: 5/5
CD/DPO: 19/7
Timing: High
Testing plans: Nothing now
RRCS: My parents are visiting next week (15 dpo), and I have this dream of testing that morning and getting a BFP. It would be so awesome to be able to tell them in person when picking them up from the airport because I wasn't able to tell them in person when I found out I was pregnant with DS. But that's just my dream - will see what actually happens.
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of cake? I actually don't like cake. Give me all the cookies and candy instead!
Testing plans: Given my historically long-ish cycles, I'm trying to wait until at least 14 DPO but preferably Halloween weekend (when FF is telling me to test).
RRCS: After 5 days of elevated temps following O, my temp dropped just below coverline this morning. It's super early for AF to be coming, so I'm trying to stay hopeful that it's just an aberration and will be back up tomorrow.
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of cake? I love pretty much any kind of cake except carrot cake, red velvet cake, and cheesecake.

Cycle/Month: 16/13
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: once or twice, I think FF may have my O date off a day.
Testing plans: I was going to test this Friday at what would be 10 or 11 DPO but I don't have any more cheapies and I refuse to use one of my FRERs. Sooo only if I'm 'late' which would be Monday the 26th.
RRCS: I have my annual gyn appt on Thurs so it'll be interesting to see what she says as far as pursuing testing if this cycle is a bust. Our insurance doesn't cover anything IF related but maybe they have different coding they can use or something depending on what she thinks... ::sigh::
GTKY: What's your favorite kind of cake? Gimmie ALL of the cake. I love deserts. Homemade FTW always, box cake ::blech::

Just got a BFN. This was my first time ever taking one so that's definitely disappointing but since it's so early in the trying game my spirits are still high! Thanks for all the fx's!
Sorry spicysalmonroll I think you and I are in the same weird boat this cycle.
In an update to my RRCS: A coworker just saw me in the hallway, then stepped in to my office and said, "Stand up! Oh, I didn't know - congratulations!" Nope, that's just the Five Guys belly, but thanks for that. Sigh.

I'm sorry. I just looked at your chart and am thinking maybe it has your O date wrong and you're not as many DPO as it says. Good luck!
daisy818 - what did that douchebag say when you told them that you aren't pregnant?! I hope they felt sufficiently asshole-ish for saying such a thing!

Ugh, I'm sorry. I'm in no way an expert on interpreting charts, but if you O'd on CD22 (as PP suggested), you would have still had really great timing. FX you get some clarity soon.

Yea that's what I was thinking, that FF showing O about 4-5 days early because of the OPK. It was the only one I took, I didn't know you were supposed to keep doing them for a few days. I figured even on the later O I'm still a few days late. Oh well, will only get better at pinpointing next month thanks everyone!

Um....that person is a giant asshole. That's insane!
That happened to me once as well. A coworker literally touched my stomach and said "what's this? You're pregnant aren't you?" I said "no". She said "sure sure, keeping it hush hush still?". I was like "no actually I'm not pregnant, just gaining weight, but thanks so much for pointing it out and making me feel self conscious" and walked away.

Yeah, what was unexpected is that she's normally one of the nicest people in the office - so really more stupid than mean, but man it still took a lot of willpower to not start crying at my desk.

I used to think you were pretty cool...
Haha I know. Not liking cake and bacon are my 2 biggest downsides according to my husband. He thinks I'm a freak of nature. But more for him - he should be happy!
