CD/DPO: 32/11 (Always have to check this too! I know the DPO almost always but never the CD)
Timing: -2,-1, O
Testing plans: Today, BFN
RRCS: I wanted to wait until tomorrow but I caved and tested today. I am still feeling crampy but no spotting at all yet so I will remain slightly hopeful until I see the spotting.
GTKY: What are your plans for the weekend? My sister's wedding is tomorrow!! I am excited for the wedding. I just am hoping that I don't start spotting tomorrow and let it get me upset. I want to be able to enjoy the day. We shall see...
Testing plans: Today, BFN. I'll test again in the morning if AF doesn't show up today. She's due in the next couple of days.
RRCS: Just hoping not to get AF today, like I did last cycle. I have a short LP to begin with, but 9 days is not cool. On a different note: My cold is almost completely gone and I'm feeling so much better than I have all week. Bring on the wine.
GTKY: What are your plans for the weekend? I won a 4-pack of tickets to a children's play at a theater in Hartford, so tomorrow morning we're taking the kids to see a theatrical version Goodnight Moon & The Runaway Bunny. My girls are so excited.

So sorry for the BFN, jense927. Hope the wedding is a nice distraction. Also sorry for the BFN, jwinct.
Cycle/Month: 8 AL
CD/DPO: 16/2
Timing: Good
Testing plans: 11 DPO
RRCS: NGKUR, but I bought a dark eggplant nail polish, and now I'm applying it. It's a lot less forgiving than lighter colors, which is all I have worn in the past. How do people do it? My nails look horrific.
GTKY: What are your plans for the weekend? I have a lot of school stuff. 4 weeks left in the semester! Besides that, I have a girls night thing tonight and I'm planning on going to yoga tomorrow.
jense927 and jwinct boo for bfns! Also jwinct runaway bunny is my favorite children's book!! Cycle/month: 14 CD/DPO: 25/7 Timing: -2, IUI on O, +1 Testing plans: Wednesday RRCS: MH and my dogs thought I should be done sleeping around 3:30am so I only got fitful sleep after that so of course it prob messed up my temp too. And I'm tired. GTKY: we have a fall dinner my friend puts on every year on Sat., just a fun time to hang with my nearest and dearest. Then I head out of town for work on Sunday. (Thank goodness bc it will help time fly by until testing!)
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
notagoddess I cannot do my own nails for the life of me. I have been getting manicures regularly recently (new thing for me) and did a similar color last time and when done well it looks soooo good but I can't imagine trying to do myself, I can't even do light colors myself!

I have seen that color all over the place on other ladies and it looks amazing. I guess they either get manicures or have super steady hands. I'm going to try to clean it up with polish remover, but I can pretty much guarantee I won't be trying it again.

jense927, sorry for bfn but have a blast at the wedding! jwinct, ugh same here, short LP. hoping yours doesn't come yet. notagoddess, wannabmama, I also suck real bad at doing my nails!! Mine stay unpolished and bitten 98% of the time.
Cycle/Month: 3
CD/DPO: 26/4
Timing: -3, -1 (twice), O
Testing plans: nope
RRCS: my boss smokes a frigen pack a day and I can hear him like coughing up a lung in his office it's so fucking gross
GTKY: What are your plans for the weekend? have a baby shower tomorrow, cleaning the house Sunday. Think I'm going to "work from home" Monday and H & I will go out to lunch and a movie haha
RRCS: NGKUR, but I bought a dark eggplant nail polish, and now I'm applying it. It's a lot less forgiving than lighter colors, which is all I have worn in the past. How do people do it? My nails look horrific.
Yeah, dark polish is much less forgiving - I usually steal the strategy I've seen in nail salons to clean up the edges: take a q-tip, pull off most of the cotton so it's really just the stick (paper stick, not plastic) and a bit of cotton, dip it in nail polish remover, and run it along the edges of your nails. Also, a good topcoat is critical!
RRCS: I'm really kind of liking the new FF update with the temperature button at the top corner - no worry of accidentally putting my temp in the wrong day!
GTKY: What are your plans for the weekend? DH gets back from a business trip tonight and we get SS tomorrow morning - not sure what our plans will be!
RRCS: Still waiting for FF to confirm O. I've had high temps for 3 straight days but still no CH. Maybe tomorrow.
GTKY: What are your plans for the weekend? Taking DD to a birthday party tomorrow and swim class Sunday morning. I do pet therapy with my dog on Sunday afternoons at a local nursing home. Also the usual weekend chores (gym, cooking, laundry) and gearing myself up for 3 all-day meetings next week. I can't wait for Thanksgiving!

My fingers are a mess after I paint my own nails and all I wear are dark colors. I usually try to just do my nails on a day I don't have to go anywhere then between doing the dishes and taking a shower that night the warm water usually makes the polish on my skin come right off.
I've tried to clean up with polish remover in the past and always seem to take some off my nails by accident. The warm water thing seems to work great for me.
I just have to make sure the polish on my nails is completely dry and hardened before doing dishes or showering.

That's a good idea. The shower thing always helps. It's just that the excess is so obvious with the dark colors! I should have done them yesterday because I want to look cute for tonight.

Cycle/Month: 12/2AL
CD/DPO: CD24
Timing: No clue. Lots of sex.
Testing plans: When AF is late.
RRCS: You'd think after one year and a loss I'd stop symptom spotting. STOP IT SEA.
GTKY: What are your plans for the weekend? DS is going to his first slumber party tonight (are they still called that?) We'll be on standby for pick up. Saturday we're visiting the in laws.

I'm the worst with putting on polish -.- It looks so awful. It's why I decided to try out Jamberry wraps at my friends party. Thank god for those wraps because my nails look so much nicer after I do them and they don't get grips like the wraps I tried at Walgreens.

Cycle/Month: 18
CD/DPO: 15/ positive Opk yesterday suspect O today.
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Testing plans: two weeks from today
RRCS: Well this is an important TWW. I need it to be "the one" because next month we are moving on to IUIs. This means hormones, triggers, and money. All things that I would like to avoid. So I guess this is our Hail Mary cycle. More sports metaphors? Okay, the bases are loaded there are 2 out and 2 strikes and we need a hit to win the series! One second on the clock, the ball is in the air from the three point line and we are down by two.
GTKY: What are your plans for the weekend? Think of better metaphors? Seriously, going out to dinner tonight with my boys, a "me" day tomorrow, and something fun for the boys on Saturday.
notagoddess, I do my own gel polish manicures and feel like they are much easier to deal with. I've seen tips of putting school glue (Elmers?) or Vaseline around the skin and cuticle to help with clean up, but feel like getting that on accurately would be just as difficult. There is also a product now that works the same way as the glue, but looks more like normal polish applicator...
So, pretty much that doesn't help much. Other than suggesting doing your own gel. Hah.
RRCS: Well, I was originally going to test today at the request of MH. He never asks when i'm testing ever, but thought Friday the 13th might be lucky. However, FF changed my cross hairs so I decided it wasn't worth it just yet.
GTKY: What are your plans for the weekend? Nothing, as of right now. MH starts his new job this weekend.
RRCS: I'm considering stopping temping the rest of this TWW. My cover line is crazy high (97.7, I'm usually around 97.3-ish), and the fluctuations are driving me crazy. I don't know if not temping would help though.
GTKY: What are your plans for the weekend? Reinforcing the hooks on 1200 ornaments w/ hot glue. I am making 49 feet of garland using only ornaments to go on my tree for Festival of Trees. I started this week and my house is already COVERED in glitter.

CD/DPO : 24/5
Timing: Hit 2 days
Testing plans: None
RRCS: We found out that the bumps all over DS's butt that he always scratches are ant bites I have no idea why there are ants in our apartment let alone his room but that's being dealt with tonight.
GTKY: We are helping my parents get a ton of cleaning and painting done in their house. They just got news that my grandparents are coming in two weeks early so we are on a serious time crunch to get things done.

TGIF!

Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing plans: 11/22
RRCS: Got CH today! But I am confused about why my cover line is so high, anyone care to weigh in? I was lazy and tired of sex so we didn't hit O but I'm thinking since we had sex the night before that all will be good. Hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot by being lazy.
GTKY: What are your plans for the weekend? I have to build a cake stand for my niece's wedding cake so I'll be shopping for that stuff and we have a friend's 2 year old birthday party on Sunday at a zoo

It looks like your coverline is high due to some high temps early in your cycle - they usually put the coverline as close as possible to being above all prior temps and below post-O temps. However, it's good to remember that the coverline doesn't really have any intrisic value - it's just a visual aid.
Post by ameliabird on Nov 13, 2015 12:27:53 GMT -5
OK thanks daisy818! I'm trying to squash the crazy of being worried about my last 3 post-O temps being somewhat low but this is my first offically TWW so that will be tough!

jense927 and jwinct,, Hope it was still too early for you notagoddess, I have not even attempted to do my own nails in a decade or more. Props to you for trying! juliayadda, FX this is your cycle! lgraceh, 1200 ornaments?!? ameliabird, Your coverline looks the same as your previous month's chart

RRCS: DH's SA came back and it's a bit low. Haven't heard back from the RE yet to know if it will change our plan moving forward if this cycle doesn't work.
GTKY: What are your plans for the weekend? Going to a murder mystery dinner with DH! We've never done one and it seems fun.
Post by notagoddess on Nov 13, 2015 19:10:03 GMT -5
teachermomtobe, that's too bad about the low results. I hope the RE is helpful in figuring out a plan should this cycle not work.
LadyNymeria, I did the shower thing. Barely anything came off! So I drew a bath and lay there until my hands were wrinkly, then went at it. It worked, but it was a lot of effort!
