Testing Plans: I tested today like a noob. Stark white negative.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Now that this test came back negative, I feel out for the cycle. My temp was still up this morning, but I think all of my queasiness, twinges, pulling, etc. that I wanted to be related to pregnancy, is just my stress at work, the mexican food, and my unwillingness to workout. Not having a good week, I suppose. I wanted a silver lining. I may test again Monday if still no period.
GTKU: Which movie deserves a sequel and why? Maybe Cast Away or Serendipity.
papm951214 - this is a great GTKY question! And I totally agree with Castaway (with Tom Hanks, right?) what happened when he delivered the last, unopened Fed Ex package?? That was a great way to end the film, and a great modern metaphor for hope - but what happened?!?!?
Cycle/Month: 6/5
CD/DPO: 19/?
Timing: unknown
Testing Plans: Sunday night.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My temp took a dip today. If it dips again tomorrow, I'm most likely out. Last cycle, my temps plunged a la White Walker towards the end.
GTKU: Which movie deserves a sequel and why? I just saw Gone Girl, so there's a part of me that wants to know what happens next for those characters. Also, any sequel to a film where I loved spending time with those characters - maybe Baby Mama because I can't get enough of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler??
R/R/C: Nada. Everything looks peachy for me at this point.
GTKY: I really don't know honestly. Ask my H, he's a huge movie buff and would probably spew out quite the tangent on this topic. He has lits of movie opinions whereas I tend to be somewhat indifferent about them.
R/R/C: Not much going on. Waiting out this cycle. Since I haven't charted in so long I have no idea how long a LP to expect. I'm feeling cramps today (and pretty bitchy already) so I'm thinking AF will be here tomorrow.
GTKY: Hmmm Gone Girl would definitely be a good one. I remember reading the Hunger Games trilogy and at the end of the last one wanting to know more about the characters, and what happened after, so maybe that too.

Cycle/month: 4/5
Cd/dpo: 32/12
Timing: good -4,-2,0,1
Testing plans: if AF doesn't come by sat/sun so i can drink wines at the Super Bowl party.
R/r/c: I want to poooop. Weird constipation I've never had. And I am constantly hungry feeling. Whyyy? My temps are down to just over cover line again and I'm craving sour gummies. I think I'm out. ready to try again already!
Gtky: all of my fave movies/books are series! Umm.... I agree with gone girl. I'd love to see a sequel with those characters. Boney nick and Margo trying to take Amy down. What a good book.
Married DH 09/21/13 BCP 08/08-02/12, 01/13-08/14 Paragard 02/16-? TTC#1 August '14 1st BFP 3/9/15! EDD: 11/17/15 Emma Rose born 11/26/15 (Thanksgiving!)
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My chart is so pretty this cycle and has my hopes up. If nothing else at least it seems like my body is regulating itself after having my Mirena out. Each month I have ovulated earlier than the one before.
GTKU: Which movie deserves a sequel and why? Oh man, it's too early for me to think. I'm posting from bed lol I'll come back.
R/R/C: So today FF moved my CHs, timing is EOD either way, but I don't know which is right since by changing my temp by 0.01 it will change my day, and that's small enough that mouth breathing or being awake before my alarm could account for it, as could my thermometer favouring a temp.
edited - Advanced says cd 18, FAM says cd16 and Research has no CHs just to make it more fun
GTKY: I don't know, my favourite movies are ones that are standalones.
R/R/CS: I'm overriding FF. It seems to be confused by my excessive drinking over the weekend. Based on secondary signs and knowing how my body reacts to O, I'm going with 3dpo.
GTKY: this is a tough one. I don't know. I'll update if I can think of one.

Cycle/Month: 1
CD/DPO: 24/12
Timing: Good
Testing Plans: Sunday morning (15 dpo) IF we have super bowl plans. If not, the 5th cause FF says so and I wanna give AF a good chance before I pee on money.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalk: My temp stayed decently high this morning so that's cool I guess. I had a really rough day yesterday, which in turn has made me feeling pretty calm about all this today.
Also, I'm super proud of myself for not peeing on all the sticks already. I'm a horribly impatient person.
GTKY: I'm not a huge fan of sequels for the most part. Although I would love to see a Black Widow or maybe Hawk Eye movie made?
Or I'd like to rewrite the ending of Gone Girl to suit my neatly tied up ending needs.
Testing Plans: IF no CD1 or spotting by tomorrow I MAY test again.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I never have a 13 day long LP, but I got a BFN yesterday so I will wait to see if I make it till tomorrow. My temp was a little today again (above coverline), but I am still suspicious of my low temps all month.
GTKU: Which movie deserves a sequel and why?: More Harry Potter! Prequel/Sequel whatever!

Cycle/month: 9
CD/DPO: 27/10
Timing: good
Testing plans: Saturday
R/R/C: And the symptom spotting is in full force. My breasts hurt, I'm nauseous, I've been dreaming too much. (is that even a thing?) every single month I convince myself that this is it. I'm over it.
GTKY: Lingle Women! The book has a sequel, and that was one of the few movie adaptations that I've liked, so I wish they'd done Little Men too.

Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: Good
Testing Plans: I'd been planning on tomorrow (12DPO) but you all have such excellent self control that now I'm trying to convince myself to wait another day or two.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Definitely symptom spotting yesterday - bloated, gassy, cramps in the morning, strange smelling pee... Also could have been a food baby. DH is so sweet trying to keep me from getting my hopes up.
GTKU: Which movie deserves a sequel and why? I really wanted Gone with the Wind to have a sequel (so I even read the fake sequel, but it was unsatisfying.)
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Question regarding the year ttc before talking to a dr- we were NTNP for about a year then 6 months ago decided to actively ttc, this is my first month charting, should I wait another 6 months before talking to a dr?

Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD/DPO: 25/12
Timing: eh, -3 and -1
Testing Plans: Yesterday, BFN. No more testing unless my period doesn't start.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Temps took a dive this morning so I'm just waiting on my period to start. Even after yesterdays BFN I was convincing myself that it could still happen but now with today's temp I am accepting that it's not happening this month.
GTKU: Which movie deserves a sequel and why? I was pretty invested in the characters in The Help so I would like to know what happens with them.
Testing Plans: Sunday morning (11 DPO) for drinking reasons.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I've felt a tightness in my ute yesterday and today. Pinching and tightness. Really odd. I'm not looking into it because I don't want to symptom spot, but it's unusual. I don't have high hopes this month but I'm really actually kind of calm about it today for some reason. I don't know. I do hope this longer cycle is not normal. If I have a 14 day LP, that would make this cycle almost 40 days and I am not all about that.
Not TWW Related rave: I recently launched my website and it's coming along great and I'm super excited and motivated about it. I would love to blog as a job. I don't see it happening but it would be awesome to be able to be a SAHM and blog for a living. Maybe that's a dream world but it would be awesome.
GTKU: Which movie deserves a sequel and why? I NEED there to be a sequel to The Dark Knight Rises. Where does Batman go? If we're just finding out that Joseph Gordon Levitt is Robin, how do him and Bruce Wayne team up? When does he come back from Italy? Did Bane actually really die?What happened to Gotham? I NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS.

Cycle/month: 10
Cd/dpo: CD20, 4dpo
Timing: good -3, -1, and 0
Testing plans: seeing how long I can wait
R/r/c: I am usually so good about temping, and this cycle forgot to temp Saturday which could have been O day. FF thinks Sunday/CD16 so either way my timing is good, just a little frustrating.
Gtky: I loved the concept of Inception so I'd love a sequel of that. And the humor in Elf or How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days - not sure if sequels could have been as funny though.

Hi I'm new here!
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD/DPO: 29/11
Timing: Good (-4,-2,O)
Testing Plans: I also tested today. My temp went up again today so I was hopeful, but it was negative.
Rants/Raves/Chart stalks: I feel pretty good about this cycle and hope that I am not out yet. Seeing a negative does hurt. I have an appointment to see the RE tomorrow to discuss plans for cycle number 6. I have PCOS and Hashimoto's, my daughter was conceived after a year of infertility treatments. I stopped birth control in September and my cycles have actually been pretty regular since then. Maybe my body is starting to work like it is supposed to?
GTKU: Which movie deserves a sequel and why? I always wanted to see a Grandma's Boy sequel. Not sure if it could compare to the original, but I would definitely watch it.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: ok I am seriously on the crazy train ALL ABOARD!!! My boobs hurts so bad and I have been nauseous since my feet hit the floor this morning so. I mean there is no way it could be that horrible take out wings that I ate last night. My temps keep getting lower so that is not supporting all my crazy irrational symptom spotting. I really need to dail myself back!
GTKU: Which movie deserves a sequel and why? Not really a huge movie person but, American sniper was a great movie.

Cycle/Month: 12/13
CD/DPO: 21/9
Timing: High (-2, -1, IUI on O)
Testing Plans: Beta on Feb. 3, planning on holding out until then
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: So my temp has been the same for four days in a row. Is this okay? I've checked my thermometer, taken my temp at other times, even just a half an hour later after being up and moving, and my temp changes, so it's not dying. Anyone know what's up? It's a Veridian BBT. Reviews show some people getting drastically different temps using it multiple times in a row, but this morning, I took my temp three times before getting up and they all read 97.90. And it's been that way four days in a row. I'm worried my chart is going to be all messed up now. Blah!
GTKY: Which movie deserves a sequel and why? I really don't know... Pitch Perfect is getting one, and that would've been my choice.
Testing Plans: Sunday morning (11 DPO) for drinking reasons.

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: My solid CH changed to dotted today because I noticed a ton of EWCM this morning. My temp also spiked this AM. I already wasn't really convinced of my O date before and now I'm less convinced. If anyone feels like doing a chart stalk: My Ovulation Chart if not, no worries. I will say CD10-17 I slept horribly due to my husbands work schedule and the dogs waking up extra early. MH is still convinced this is our cycle. I'm not sure.
GTKU: Which movie deserves a sequel and why? Great question.... I'd love a sequel for To Kill A Mockingbird (as long as Harper Lee wrote it) yes I know that's technically a book, but I really enjoyed the movie version too! Enchanted was a cute movie and I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to that.

teraiin - first of all, you and your hubs are sex machines! Dang girl, I'm impressed. I agree with FF that your crosshairs are when you ovulated, especially because of your positive opk. It's possible you ovulated three days later with a fallback rise, but I doubt it. FX for you!
Testing Plans: I tested today, cause I was being stupid. BFN. Gonna wait for 12 DPO for next test.
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Meh, just trying to keep my mind off it.
GTKU: Which movie deserves a sequel and why? Guardians of the Galaxy. It is getting a sequel according to marvel in the next couple years. Such a good movie. Reason = Chris Pratt.

LOL Thanks. It's definitely more him than me, I just am happy to oblige. he's always had a... healthy sex drive. Now it works in my favor.
Thanks for the input on the CH, I wasn't really sure because of the kinda zigzaggy temps! It's only my second month charting so I'm still trying to get better at reading the charts.
CD/DPO: 17/1 (Is it too early for me to be posting in the TWW?? Yes, I'm new!)
Timing: Good (-5,-3,-1,0)
Testing Plans: My PP cycles have been short (for me) so FF says to test on 11DPO. Sure why not?!
Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Nothing too much...I was supposed to completely wean my son because I think BFing is messing with my hormones but I decided to go until his 15 month appointment (next month). That will get us through the worst of cold and flu season.
GTKU: Which movie deserves a sequel and why? Hmmmm...I wouldn't mind a Mallrats sequel. Would love to see how they are doing in their 40s! Oooo...or a Willow sequel!!

*Stuck in box*
Normally FF waits 3 days of elevated temps before giving you crosshairs. Are you temping or just using FF as a guideline?

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: Now that this test came back negative, I feel out for the cycle. My temp was still up this morning, but I think all of my queasiness, twinges, pulling, etc. that I wanted to be related to pregnancy, is just my stress at work, the mexican food, and my unwillingness to workout. Not having a good week, I suppose. I wanted a silver lining. I may test again Monday if still no period.
You are 10 days post ovulation. The most common day of implantation is 9 days post ovulation, and you would not yet have a noticeable HCG surge if you implanted then. There is no reason to despair. Your chart looks promising, there is your silver lining.

mugster, that is so kind of you to say. Thank you for your internet pat on the back of encouragement - I mean it! No one knows we're trying so it's hard to find a compass with these things. To piggy back Mugster, I wanted to attach this link for all of us who tested today and got BFNs. I think a lot of us still have some statistical hope (i.e. not false hope).
