Cycle/Month: 6/8 AL
CD/DPO: 36/7
Timing: -4, -2, O
Testing Plans: Only if no AF and temp is still high at 13DPO
RRCS: I feel "out" already this cycle. My chart is looking the same as other cycles, which I know doesn't necessarily mean anything this early, but I just don't feel confident that this is it.
GTKY: Growing up, we always had a fake tree. Since H and I have been married, we've always gotten a real one though. We usually cut one down at the tree farm, but this year I think we'll just buy a real one at Lowes.
RRCS: happy to get a goodnight sleep. Also tip: don't take your costco brand pnv on an empty stomach. You will regret it.
GTKY: If you celebrate Christmas/put up a tree, do you get a real or fake Christmas tree? Always real. Usually we get it from local sellers who come from Nova Scotia. This year we plan to go to a farm and cut down our own. We live in a small "urban" (aka tiny) town home so DH and I always disagree on the size. He is always right and ends up having to cut the tree by alot to make it fit. Can't wait! Haha
Sorry you're feeling down kayladawn91. It's hard not to over analyze our charts, I have the same issue. Hope you get a temp spike soon!
mikaela20, I haven't tried the Costco brand but I've had such a hard time settling on a PNV since they ruin my stomach. Argh.
Cycle/Month: 7/8
CD/DPO: 18/3
Timing: -1, -3
Testing Plans: Dec 1
RRCS: FF changed my CHs today, which I sort of expected, but now I'm kicking myself for not hitting +1 since we gave up on EOD. Actually, if I'm being honest, I gave up on EOD. H was all gung ho. I was just not feeling it. Anyway, I know it only takes one but now I'm regretting it.
GTKY: We get a real tree! We go to a local farm and cut it down every year. It's become one of my favourite traditions of the holiday.

Cycle/Month: 6
CD/DPO:18/2
Timing: -2,-1,O
Testing Plans: 12DPO if my temps are up
RRCS: Crosshairs should show up tomorrow. Now I just sit and wait and hope.
GTKY: If you celebrate Christmas/put up a tree, do you get a real or fake Christmas tree? We have a fake one. We have had a lot of trouble with real ones drying out and looking awful by Christmas (not sure if it's related to living in a warm climate) so we just switched to a pre-lit fake tree a few years ago. I miss the smell of a real tree but I do not miss the pine needles everywhere or paying $60+ for something we just throw away in less than a month.

Cycle/Month: 3
CD/DPO: 30/9
Timing: good
Testing Plans: nope
RRCS: nope, stopped temping like 5 days after O
GTKY: If you celebrate Christmas/put up a tree, do you get a real or fake Christmas tree? this is going to be a sin to the Christmas lovers but I've never once had a real tree in my life.
RRCS: big temp drop today. I almost didn't get the beta but figured better to know for sure sooner rather than later and can decide what next boo.
GTKY: If you celebrate Christmas/put up a tree, do you get a real or fake Christmas tree? Real tree...and I prefer to cut our own though we only manage that about 50% of the time. MH also always chooses one that's way too big but I don't care even if we have to move furniture to fit it in ha! Love Christmas tree cheer!
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!
RRCS: Not much going on here. Yesterday I met with some friends that both just had a baby. They talked baby stuff forever, then finally asked how I was doing with IF.
GTKY: If you celebrate Christmas/put up a tree, do you get a real or fake Christmas tree? We have a fake, pre-lit tree. I think it looks great once it's decorated and I'm always burning a pine-scented candle during the Christmas season.

Temp spiked yesterday and stayed up today so I figured I'd mosey on over. CHs expected tomorrow.
Cycle/Month: Cycle 4 (3 AL)
CD/DPO: 19/2
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing Plans: Even though it's early (10 DPO), I'll probably test Thanksgiving morning for Holiday drinking purposes.
RRCS: Just being impatient all day every day. TWW is easier on me than WTO is, but I'm still pretty impatient.
GTKY: If you celebrate Christmas/put up a tree, do you get a real or fake Christmas tree? Definitely a real tree. MH and I (and our dog) usually go pick one up 2 weekends before Christmas.
RRCS: My temp is still up, but that might be due to a rough night's sleep. I have some mild cramping and it just feels like my period is going to start any minute.
GTKY: If you celebrate Christmas/put up a tree, do you get a real or fake Christmas tree? We have a small ceramic tree that my mom made years ago. It reminds me of her and is relatively cat proof.
RRCS: Not very hopeful this cycle but my mind is already playing tricks on me.
GTKY: If you celebrate Christmas/put up a tree, do you get a real or fake Christmas tree? We'll get a new fake pre-lit tree this year. We did a real one years ago and I swore we'd never do that again. I found pine needles everywhere until July I think!
Testing Plans: Temp was still high this morning so I figured I might as well take my 1 test that I've had forever before it expires and it was a BFP!
RRCS: I've loved being a part of this community over the past few months - I just wish I had joined earlier. It's made the WTO/TWW days go by quickly, and I've really enjoyed "meeting" you ladies. I'll be lurking for more BFPs. Good luck everyone!
GTKY: If you celebrate Christmas/put up a tree, do you get a real or fake Christmas tree? Growing up, we always did a fake one. Now that I'm an adult, we've gotten a few real ones over the years - I love how they smell. But since we generally travel for Christmas, getting a tree can be more of a pain than it's worth. A little mini real tree has been a good compromise.
Congratulations, rungirlrun,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So exciting!!!!
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing Plans: None.
RRCS: Still no CH from FF, and I have mild cramping/tightness today, which usually signals AF is on her way.
GTKY: If you celebrate Christmas/put up a tree, do you get a real or fake Christmas tree? We get a real tree from Home Depot for convenience (5 minutes away vs. at least 45 minutes to the nearest tree farm. I love the smell of the real thing.

LadyNymeria, I'm toying with the idea of testing on Thanksgiving as well because we're going to my in-laws' house and I will want all the alcohol. I'm just trying to figure out whether it will upset me to see a BFN (even though I know 10DPO is pretty early) enough to put a damper on the holiday.
RRCS: I told H that while I was at Dollar Tree yesterday I picked up some pregnancy tests. He was so excited and asked if I was pregnant. I told him it was too soon. I told him I'd test Sunday, but it might be even be too soon then because I didn't temp this cycle. He thinks maybe I should wait. We'll see. I just don't want to worry about testing while we're camping with his parents and the next day I'd be able to test is Thanksgiving. If I attempted testing while camping with his parents I'd have to be all super sneaky like about it.
GTKY: We always had a fake tree when I was little. The one year we had a real tree my mom was so allergic to it it ended up outside on the porch. H and I had a real tree our first Christmas together and it died really fast. I got a fake tree that year and we've been using it ever since.
Testing Plans: holding on best I can for 14 dpo, Nov 25
RRCS: One of my closest coworkers/friend wants to me to test at 10dpo. We share an office so she knows pretty much everything going on. I will be at the beach this weekend so I don't want a BFN to ruin my trip. We will also be in a house with my inlaws. I keep telling myself I've waited at least 15 months, surely I can wait a few extra days.
GTKY: If you celebrate Christmas/put up a tree, do you get a real or fake Christmas tree? Growing up, my parents took us to a tree farm every year to pick out a real one. Now, MH and I just put up a fake pre-lit because its easy. When/if we have children, I would like to start the tree farm tradition with them.
Just FYI - REAL TREE ALL DAY!!! Confession: I absolutely love vacuuming up the needles after. It's so satisfying seeing the floor totally covered, then whoosh, all clean. I am strange.
penguin129, I would wait til Thanksgiving. What's your normal cycle length? I would wait until one day after your normal.
LadyNymeria, I'm toying with the idea of testing on Thanksgiving as well because we're going to my in-laws' house and I will want all the alcohol. I'm just trying to figure out whether it will upset me to see a BFN (even though I know 10DPO is pretty early) enough to put a damper on the holiday.
I'm going into it expecting a BFN since it is early to test. I lost my resolve and tested at 10 DPO last month and while obviously it was a negative I just told myself it was too early so it didn't bother me that much. I'll apply the same thoughts to this month and in this case if it's negative I get to drink all the wine at dinner.
You just need to decide if you can shrug off a potential BFN enough to still enjoy the Holiday.
I don't usually drink that much so I would probably be fine not testing and drinking a bit anyway, but I find myself a bit paranoid after the loss. So while I'm very much a "drink 'til it's pink" person, I'd rather check and make sure it's not pink before I drink.
If it was going to be any earlier than 10 DPO I probably wouldn't even be thinking of testing. Just something about hitting 10 DPO on Thanksgiving makes me feel like I want to test before drinking.
RRCS: Still no CH from FF, and I have mild cramping/tightness today, which usually signals AF is on her way.
Sorry if you already tried this before I came over, but did you try removing the +OPK and seeing if that affects anything? Are you on the Advanced detector or something else?
Just looking at your chart I can't understand why you don't have CHs after the past 8 days of higher temps.
