GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? Edit: Or those annoying: "Oh you're having heartburn? You must be KU!" comments.
GTKY: DD was playing and pretending to be pregnant (we have lots of pregnant family members) and told me that I had two babies in my belly too. So many people have sworn that kids "just know" about these kinds of things so I probably am pregnant. ::eye roll:: Yes the 5 year old is totally the best pregnancy test out there. The fact that she is convinced that she is having triplets kind of ruins the legitimacy of her test abilities.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Temp rose again today. Last month (first month charting) my temp plummeted the day I got AF which makes me inclined to think I won't get it today. But that really doesn't prove anything I guess, lol.
GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? Someone told me that they knew they were pregnant when they would get a random allergic reaction to something. She said this when I said I had been getting a rash from the soap I was using and needed to switch. Sometimes an allergic reaction is just an allergic reaction. Probably not the weirdest symptom ever, but it struck me. I mean if I was pregnant every time something made me break out...
FF took away my solid crosshairs today. I've would be at 13dpo before this happened. Open circles are due to me having a new schedule and taking temp 1.5 hours early and I haven't changed default time. GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about?

Rants/raves/chartstalks: I'm not sure about FF and the date I got for ovulation... My bbt initially went up a little but today it went up much more. I'm new to this so I would love some input on my chart. I'm unsure how to link it from the mobile app.
GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? Nothing too strange, but I don't know that many pregnant people!
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Just like clockwork I started spotting on 8dpo. It isn't a lot and only shows up once or twice a day but enough for me to know that I am out again. At least I don't waste pregnancy tests each month because I know way before a normal testing date. Just ready for my period to start on Saturday so I can move onto cycle 10. Seriously sucks ass knowing I'm about to move onto double digits!
GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? I can't think of anything
Rants/raves/chartstalks: FF friend moved my crosshairs, doesn't change our timing - it still says we were "good". My only rant is I have to repeat 5DPO again. I think it is looking at secondary signs instead of temp rise. Meh. I'm not as excited this cycle. First 3 months AL I was so motivated and hoping it wouldn't take us as long as the first. Now I just feel like I'm getting used to the motions of TTC again.

Cycle/Month: 2/3
CD/DPO: 38/13
Timing: low
Testing Plans: none
Rants/raves/ Chartstalks: temperature dropped today so CD1 should be here soon. After this crazy month (o date changing by 5 days and a false positive hpt) I'm really kind of relieved that I know AF is on the way. Ready to get things moving along for next month!
GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? I don't really know. I don't really pay attention when people talk about symptoms other than the usual nausea, heartburn, etc. I've always thought cravings were really interesting. My mom hates anything coconut- always has. But when she was pregnant with me she ate a ridiculous amount of Almond Joys.
Testing Plans: tested today and got a BFN. Will try again either Thursday or Friday.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I'm not really disappointed with my BFN today because it came with a significant temperature rise. One high enough that it could potentially be the start of a triphasic thermal pattern, so I'm still feeling hopeful for this cycle. I'll be really curious to see what the next couple of days bring.
GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? Nothing too off the wall I can think of. I was trying to find info on triphasic chart patterns this morning and came across a thread of women freaking out over their temperatures that they kept retaking every 30 minutes. Can't even make that kind of crazy up.<br/>
R/R/C: our timing was "good" but I think if I hadn't been sick we would have at least hit two days in my FW.
GTKY: I think this was a in retrospect observation, but my friend conceived her twins while camping, she claims the morning after was the most beautiful sunny day she's ever seen.
Cycle/ month 1/1 Cd/dpo 21/2 Timing -4, -2, -1, 0 Testing plans. I am not sure. It's month one and I don't want to get so obsessed. On the other hand we will be on vacation when af is due. So I am just not sure. I am thinking Sunday but that would only be 8 dpo so not sure. Rants/raves etc. This is our first month and I forgot how emotionally obsessed I get. Sigh Gtky: ha. A lot. The heartburn brings babies with hair which now has actual legs. I died with hb and my lo had a full head of hair.
Testing plans: will try to wait till this weekend as long as temp stays up
Rants: still spotting and have not been taking my temp every day because I've been drinking. I'll start it back up tomorrow morning.
GTKY: a coworker told me that "if you can't suck it in you're pregnant" in reference to sucking in a bloated belly. Uh, my stomach looks like a 6 month pregnant woman after eating a burrito and there is no way I can "suck it in" but I definitely have yet to be pregnant!
Rants/raves/chartstalks: How do I link my chart? I tried seating for the instructions but had no luck. FF says O was CD 14 but I'm not 100% sure, I would like some input.
GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? Drooling... I guess it is true though I read that you can produce a lot more saliva
My DH is the worst with the symptom spotting. You have gas? Maybe you're pregnant! Can't sleep? Maybe you're pregnant! Your back hurts? Totes KU! Last night I had to tell him to just stop. My BF told me on Sunday that because SHE had heartburn she thought I was pregnant. Wtf?

Cycle/Month: 1/2
CD/DPO: 41/10
Timing: not good
Testing Plans: none
Rants/raves/chartstalks: glad to be getting all this data this cycle so I know what to look for as far a temp rise. Hopefully won't miss the window next time.
GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? The most annoying to me is any time a woman uses the word "craving" with respect to food they "must be pregnant"

Cycle/Month: 8/1AL
CD/DPO: 34/5
Timing: -4, -3, +1
Testing Plans: none for now
Rants/raves/chartstalks: nothing doing. boobs are really sore now.
GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? I had the flu once (legitimately) at my parents house and went to lie down and my sister asked if I was pregnant. Yes, fever, aches, pains, nausea all = pregnant. fuck off.
Married 10/10/10! TTC Baby #1 since April 2014 BFP Oct 16 - EP terminated Nov 6 2014 Off the Bench January 2015! BFP #2 June 1 2015 - EDD Feb 12 2016! Baby Boy born 15th February 2016!
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Still feeling miserably bloated from this weekend.
GTKY: I have heard them all fever, cravings, bloated, glowing skin, even a cold (coughing and running nose) has been a sign I must be pregnant according to my family. Families with babies on the brain are so irrational!
morwen - I just read about the teeth thing! I had a dream a couple nights ago that my front teeth had fallen out and it was so horrific and terrifying I had to look up the meaning. Although, it can also mean any number of other things.
Testing Plans: this morning BFN, not testing again until Friday if no AF
Rants/raves/chartstalks: I'm not sure what is going on with my temps they are staying right above cover line. IDK I'm kind of new to temping. FF says CD 1 should be here today but, I think that is based off my short cycle last month. So yay for at least a 11 day LP this time!
GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? I can't really think of one....
Testing Plans: As of now I'm waiting until Sunday.
Rants/raves/chartstalks: Nothing new really...other than feeling crampy and like my period is on its way. But I am so hyper sensitive to anything and everything during the TWW so it's nothing abnormal.

When Lorelai Gilmore said she knew she was pregnant because she was craving fruit.

Cycle/Month: 4
CD/DPO: 25/6 dpo
Timing: -2, -1
Testing Plans: None yet
Rants/raves/chartstalks: This is the first cycle that I feel kind of optimistic. I am alternating between thinking it's good to have hope and worrying that I'm getting my hopes up.
GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? Edit: Or those annoying: "Oh you're having heartburn? You must be KU!" comments. I pretty much side eye anytime someone tells me they had symptoms like the week before their missed period.

Cycle/Month: 12/13
CD/DPO: 25/14
Timing: High
Testing Plans: Tested last night with a FRER, BFFN. Went in this morning for my blood work, though, for my RE because our clinical nurse wanted me to go in anyway.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Stupid, twatwaffle of a body. Yesterday around lunchtime, I was checking my CF, which that morning had been clear and watery. Suddenly, it's almost egg-white texture and brown. Awesome, here comes my period, right? Well, the spotting tapered off quickly (in fact, I doubt I would have had noticeable spotting at all if I hadn't checked my CF). It was totally gone by the time I left work. CF is back to perfectly clear and watery this morning. I have basically no hope for the blood work today, but I did it to appease my RE and the nurse.
GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? I always think it's funny when my parents tell the story about how they realized my mom was pregnant with my brother. They went to get a hamburger and she asked for no pickles, which was only something she'd done when she was pregnant with me. So my dad told her she was pregnant, she took a test to prove him wrong, but didn't quite manage that since she was KU. Now she's just waiting for the day that I don't want to eat pickles because she's convinced that's what'll happen to me, too.
GTKY: MH drives me crazy. He takes my every complaint or statement as a symptom.
Me: I have a headache. MH: YOU'RE PREGNANT!
Me: I really want some Jimmy John's. MH: Because you're pregnant?!
I could keep going. I won't bore you.
My H is the same way. Me: Ugh, I'm tired. Him: You're totes pregnant! Me: I'm starving. Him: Knocked up, I know it! Me: Babe, I think we're out this month, I started spotting. Him: No way, babe, it's definitely implantation bleeding, you'll see!

Add me to the list. Me: *sneeze* I don't know why I'm sneezing so much today. MH: because you're pregnant and your immune system is weak now Me: or you know.. .I've been lazy and haven't dusted...
He's still convinced that this is 'THE' cycle. The one where I gku.

When I was KU w/ DD sometime in a my 1st tri I got this stuffy nose and thought "shit, I'm getting a cold!" I never go the cold, but was stuffed up until I delivered. Turns out, stuffy nose is a pregnancy symptom.
Also, just annoying is when I tell my mom anything out of the ordinary (I'm tired, I'm in a bad mood, etc.) she'll ask if I'm pregnant. Once I was actually sipping a glass of wine when she asked..."um, no!"
