[housecarder]

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: 23/9

Timing: -3,-1, 0, +1

Testing Plans: This weekend

Rants/raves/chartstalks: Nothing new

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.

[teraiin]

Cycle/Month:

CD/DPO: 36/14

Timing: High

Testing Plans: In a few days if AF doesn't show.

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...

CD/DPO:27cd ?dpo...see below

Timing:was high

Testing Plans:um see below

Rants/raves/chartstalks:http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5525ef/

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?

Gassy means pregnant. Or hiccups

[sb1114]

Hello... I'm new here

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: -4, -3, -2, 0 +2

Testing Plans: Not sure yet

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!

I think this is a link to my chart...

[expatmama11]

Cycle/Month: 9/9

CD/DPO: 22/11

Timing: -4, -2, 0, +1

Testing Plans: none

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

[purplehaze11]

Cycle: 7 (2A2L)

CD/DPO: 19/4

Timing: -2, O

Testing Plans: 11-12 DPO if my temps are up

Rants/raves/chartstalks: Nothing really. Pleased with our timing, as O-2 seems to be the best date for me historically for a BFP.

GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? Hmm... I developed a cat allergy when I was pregnant with DD?

[PugMum]

Cycle/Month: 4 AL (loss 13 months ago)

CD/DPO: 20/5

Timing: Good

Testing Plans: 13 DPO

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.

GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about?

Baby brain.

[morwen]

Cycle/Month: 9

CD/DPO: 26/8 or 10

Timing: EOD

Testing Plans: nada

Rants/raves/chartstalks: temp dropped almost to CL this am. Hoping it rebounds tomorrow, but I'm not entirely sure what dpo I am - FF has mixed ideas

GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? The having dreams about teeth means you're KU is still puzzling to me.

[mrsjene]

Cycle/Month: 4/3

CD/DPO: 16/5

Timing: good.

Testing Plans: none.

Rants/raves/chartstalks: I've got nuthin today.

GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? Huh. Haven't heard any. Of I have, I can't think of it.

[mynameiscarrie]

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.

[peaseblossom55]

Cycle/month: 2/3
Cd/dpo: 39/7
Testing plans:none
Rants/raves/chart stalks: none really
Gtky: none that I can really think of actually

[Deleted]

Cycle/Month: 3 / 4

CD/DPO: 37 / 14

Timing: -5, -3, -1

Testing Plans: Tomorrow if no AF today

Rants/raves/chartstalks: Another BFN this morning. Ugh...

GTKY: What is the weirdest "pregnancy symptom" someone has told you about? I don't know.

[cnf2013]

Cycle/Month: 3/4

CD/DPO: 27/10

Timing: -5, -3, -1

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/>

[gdaisy09]

Good morning TWW!

Cycle/month: 1/2

CD/DPO: 32/3

Timing: O

Testing Plans: 14DPO (valentines day)

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.

[jtizzay]

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.

[apunicorn]

Cycle: 3

CD/DPO: 21/8

Timing: very good

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!

[negirl824]

Thanks for starting housecarder

Cycle/Month: 6

CD/DPO: 17/3

Timing: -4, -3, O

Testing Plans: not sure yet

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

Edit: chart stalk needed... how do I link?

[housecarder]

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?

[scottiedogs4life]

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"

[kellybenelly83]

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.

[ironsexer]

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: good

Testing Plans: probably 13 dpo

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.

[sarah77361]

Cycle/Month: 3

CD/DPO: 11/24

Timing: -4,-3,+1

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....

[octavia65]

Good morning!

Cycle/Month: 3/3

CD/DPO: 22/6

Timing: Good, EOD during FW

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.

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.

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

[jennytwoshoes]

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.

[risscaboobs]

Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD/DPO: 16/4

Timing: -3, -2, -1, +1

Testing Plans: probably 12DPO (2/11)

Rants/raves/chartstalks: not much going on... woke up at 5 and took my temp and then couldn't fall back asleep. I'm tired.

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.

[longhornwino0907]

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.

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.

Cycle/Month: 2

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: good

Testing Plans: nope

Rants/raves/chartstalks: nah

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.

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!"
