@jess0211@lulu1180@BusinessWife thank you, sweet friends. Every time I think maybe I need a break from TB, I realize I'd miss you all too much and I need my TTC soul sisters for mutual support. I hope we all get the hell out of here this year...

R/R: Rant: I wish I had more time to do everything I need to do. I feel like I'm always stretched so thin and I don't have enough to give to everything. Also I'm trying to get the hang of temping still and its frustrating. My temps are all over the place (in my opinion but maybe I'm wrong). My temp on CD 9 started at 97.3, went up to 97.4 CD 11, dropped to 96.5 yesterday and today back up to 97.5.

GTKY: What is one thing about you that people always seem a little surprised when they first find out?
I'm a twin. For some reason people are always shocked by this.
R/R: Had a hard time sleeping last night because I knew I had to wake up early to be at the RE at 7am and I kept worrying I would oversleep and H wouldn't have time to get his SA together. But, it did all work out on time, so I had nothing to worry about except he and I felt like his sample was pathetically tiny. I said, well maybe that's all you're ever getting, it's not like we typically measure it. But he seems to think he typically deposits more than what we saw. I was oddly kind of glad it was a small amount because if that is happening more often than we think than maybe that is whats going on.

@canonmom413 H and I just did a large purge for Purple Heart this weekend. Goes on the porch for pick up this week! @lulu1180 I had mine done too. I got it when I was probably 17, and kept it until I met H. He hated it so I took it out probably 6 or so years ago. It took a really long time to get used to my belly without it. It looked so naked. I often wonder if I can jam it back in there, but a self-induced belly infection is not a reason I need another appointment at a doc right now! Also, love my prime too @zwink1 I have been "lucky" with my OPKs because several of my gfs have given me theirs after they easily got KU, so every time another one gets KU, they hand everything over. So I say "lucky" because it is mostly depressing. But cost effective anyhow. I also never use the hpts, because I just don't want to see anymore BFN, so I have an abundance of those too. @bluejeanbabi05 GL with the trigger tonight! Congrats on those great follies! @Pinky917 I also found out I didn't get a supervisory job recently, and it sucked more to find out the people in my department that did. It was all politics, basically they were there longer than I was. They certainly are not better at our jobs, and even my boss knows that. One of the two that got it, cried and quit during her temporary position and then cried to get it back. Then got the job....WHAT.... @TravelingCouple Honestly, it's okay to take a break. It really helped me when I took the month of December off and didn't do anything, just lived. I wasn't going through that terrible TWW and convincing myself that I was or was not pregnant. I also took a bump break and a break from Facebook. I came back in January ready to start again. I can tell you that you aren't alone in that feeling. I know that dark place as I am sure a lot of other girls here that have been TTC for 12+months also know well. We are here for you!

@TravelingCouple *creepy hugs* i'm sorry it's been so rough lately.

Not that it was bad for me, but definitely wasn't a model citizen. I'm going to guess that if no one believes you, you are in a much better place and that alone is wonderful. @jess0211 happy that you got your insurance check, that's good. If you do move on to the TWW, we'll see you on the other side! @BertieMeetsGertie aww what a trooper DH. It's very nice that he is fully on board. Hopefully there are some good vibes heading your way @lulu1180 I love Metallica! I'm not a super fan and don't know every song.. but the ones I do are great! @cdnrunning aren't truffles SO GOOD?! @zwink1 feel better soooooon @kiwi2628 yay! Glad you're feeling better. your H sounds so super sweet. That was very thoughtful of him! @JulesDP I'm an introvert too and hear the exact same things, ironically, forums are much easier to deal. @bluejeanbabi05 good luck with your trigger shot!

Good luck with your appointment @pinky917 eeep. Sorry about the stocking. I just had to throw out a pair. They did not survive long. The job thing is also a bummer. @GG620 You're an attorney? May I ask, how do you manage your stress? It's a pretty brutal environment sometimes. I am trying to find better stress management solutions while working in law (not attorney) @heatherdubrow Your PG friend has also made me a little antsy. Like, really? Who complains like that knowing it's not easy for others?! blahhh. @crazypuglady ohhh yay for EWCM!!! @love1229 i feel similarly... it's hard to keep up sometimes. @juneruby woot woot for CD7, hopefully the size of sample gives you some insight as to what's going on. It's hard to know if you don't see it... @esmegray aw man. That O is so dang tricky. Hopefully AF doesn't stop by. See you on the other side in TWW eventually!
Yes. I responded to like everyone. I wanted to motivate myself for the day, lol. Have a wonderful day ladies
@JuneRoseRuby Sorry to hear that you did not get the position, and I can totally understand your frustration. That sounds just like how things go down in my office. It has nothing to do with who is qualified, it is all about who knows who and who is the loudest. Hope all goes well with YH's SA.

CS/Q: nothing today
GTKY: What is one thing about you that people always seem a little surprised when they first find out? I'm not sure I'll have to ask DH
@canonmom413 - I'm super guilty of that as well! I have stuff I've hung on to for years because I don't want to get rid of it/throw it away and keep telling myself I'm going to sell it. I think I need to have a coming to Jesus with myself and deep purge the house. Between TTC and DH & I wanted to move to another state in 4 years DH & I both really need to condense our belongings to those we only actually use.
@lulu1180 - I love my Prime. Between Prime & Netflix and our local channels we get via a transmitter we ended up scrapping Cable/Satellite TV completely. 2-day shipping on almost everything I buy is amazing and I've had a chance to dabble with some of the Kindle & Audible freebies too. I'll have to make a point to check out Pantry, that's something a co-worker of mine uses that I haven't tried out yet.
@Pinky917 - Sometimes I've found I just have to take a break from it all and give myself a few days to not GAF. Daily focus on TTC between all the prep and tracking can be exhausting. You do you!
@TravelingCouple - So sorry you're having a rough day. I completely understand. Some days I wonder why we even keep trying. Going for this long without a BFP has been a huge emotional roller coaster. Just remember that we're here for you, whatever you decide.
R/R: Rant - I've had a meeting scheduled for at least 2-3 weeks for 7 AM this morning, which is an hour before my regular start time. I show up at 7 AM to find out that management didn't plan accordingly so the people who needed to attend could attend, so meeting had to be postponed until this afternoon. Already at work, no point in leaving, no overtime, no leaving early for showing up early. So I had to sit and twiddle my thumbs for an hour until my shift started.
Rave - I'm starting a class tonight for the first time in 7 years! I'm a little nervous but mostly excited. Bonus points that its 100 % free for me.
CS/Q: Nothing yet.
GTKY: What is one thing about you that people always seem a little surprised when they first find out? I used to work in a strip club. It was a thing my best friend and I when we were in college for a few months. I worked as a shopgirl and she was a waitress. NBD.
@JulesDP@jess0211 I imagine it takes some discreetness to make that happen! I'm trying to think about how I'm going to make this work. So potentially awkward!
@TravelingCouple I'm sorry you're having a crappy cycle. Sleep deprivation is the absolute worst and I'm sure isn't helping the situation.
@heatherdubrow I am both sad that you had a fight with your BFF and also wanna give you a major high five. Hopefully she takes everything ok the next few weeks
@cannonmom413@jess0211 Yes! The teen years are so funny to me now when I think about it. I was such a different person then I am today. I have some lovely reminders too, like my tramp stamp and scars from the various piercings I decided to get lol.
@lulu1180 I have so much stuff I would love to sell in a garage sale! I keep telling DH that as soon as we buy a house I am going to put together a sale but realistically Idk if I really have enough stuff either. It's mostly just old picture frames and cheap Bed, Bath, Beyond artwork that I want to get rid of.
@pinky917 Sorry to hear about the job! FX there is something better right around the corner.
@GC620 I wish I could get my DH on board to eat organic! He always rolls his eyes at me when we are grocery shopping and I say I want to buy something in organic (or go down the organic aisle). Also, super jealous you got to go skiing.. I was hoping to take a trip out to CO this season to go but it didn't end up working out.
@heatherdubrow I'm the same way... I'm also not a particularly private person about my "personal" life which really drives my husband crazy. I know I have to get better about it for his sake but I just don't really care what people know about me most of the time.
@juneroseruby I took ASL in college and I really loved it. I wish I could remember everything I learned but I never really used it after taking the classes. I'd love to go back and take classes for fun to get better at it again.
@kmornelas29 I can't believe people would say something like that to you... it's a very back handed compliment loll
R/R: Things are really picking up at work for me so I haven't had any time to keep up with the thread until now. Glad to be busy though because it makes the day go by SO much faster!
CS/Q: Ok ladies so I have a major TMI*** question so this is a warning to ignore if you don't like the know about internet stranger's CM. Sooo.. I have been tracking my CM since going off BC and I haven't noticed much of a change and I don't really know how to even categorize what I am experiencing. It looks almost like EW consistency (kind of stretchy) but it had a yellow tint to it instead of white? I have read online (yes I googled this to try to spare you all) that some people say this is fertile but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me because it's the only CM I have seen all cycle so far. Just wasn't sure if I should be marking it as sticky or creamy or what? Has anyone had this before?
GTKY: What is one thing about you that people always seem a little surprised when they first find out?
I think people are most surprised to hear about my upbringing and my teen years more then anything. I am in a MUCH different place in many ways then who I was and where I was while growing up.
@JJMNO1616 & @KariAnn323 Thanks! So far I've finished new student orientation, cursed at my printer drivers which stopped working, and have been watching the trainwreck of reply-all emails that someone started to ask tech questions in to all new students that somehow has turned itself into a meme thread which is sort of awful but kind of entertaining in its own right. Real bonus of course is 6 free months of Amazon Prime and free Microsoft Office suite for having a student e-mail again!
@JJMNO1616 if it's clear, stretchy OR lubricative when you wipe, or any combination of those, mark E in FF. If it stretches 1"+ that is true EWCM, but if it stretches less than that you can call that "sticky." If it really doesn't stretch at all, then call it creamy. If it's shiny on the tissue but not lubricative-feeling, nothing stretches or is really there on your finger when you touch, you can call that dry, along with other true "dry" days when there's nothing present when you wipe. GL! I know there's a lot of nuance to it, but try not to get overwhelmed. Better to try and log Something that seems right to you, than nothing. Also W for watery is fertile, but honestly ff treats E and W the same (fertile) and C and S the same (nonfertile), near as I can make out. So even if all you marked were Dry, C, E, that would totally work!
Thanks for all the support ladies! DHs appointment went much better than the first, I think. I am too tired to get into details right now, but your well wishes mean a lot, and I will try to fill you guys in a little more, the more it sinks in. ;)
@businesswife Yay I'm so glad it was a better appointment! Please let us know if there is anything we can to do support you, besides the constant cheering we're doing now!
@adirat. Thank you so much! ❤ I'm glad this new doctor is maybe a better fit, but he said some things that were a bit of a shock, so I am definitely still processing...
@BusinessWife Thanks so much for your explanation. I spent over an hour looking at CM pictures online trying to figure this all out. Glad to hear the appointment went better!!
@BusinessWife I'm so happy to hear that the appointment went better! After you're done processing and want to talk about it, you know we're all here to listen and support you. And know that we're all here cheering you on and keeping our fx you get your BFP soon!

that I have a masters degree and doctorate degree. I'm 27 years old. Apparently, getting it done that fast is insane to people. Plus, I've been told that it's unusual because of how pretty I am. Apparently, beauty and brains can't be mixed??? Wth people! "

then I realize everyone is up already
its my day off today and I'm taking a lazy day btw.
@jess0211 - GL & FX!
@lulu1180 - I love my Prime. Between Prime & Netflix and our local channels we get via a transmitter we ended up scrapping Cable/Satellite TV completely. 2-day shipping on almost everything I buy is amazing and I've had a chance to dabble with some of the Kindle & Audible freebies too. I'll have to make a point to check out Pantry, that's something a co-worker of mine uses that I haven't tried out yet.
@Pinky917 - Sometimes I've found I just have to take a break from it all and give myself a few days to not GAF. Daily focus on TTC between all the prep and tracking can be exhausting. You do you!
@TravelingCouple - So sorry you're having a rough day. I completely understand. Some days I wonder why we even keep trying. Going for this long without a BFP has been a huge emotional roller coaster. Just remember that we're here for you, whatever you decide.
@alysapuggles - GL & FX!
Month/Cycle: 19/18

WAYDTGKU: OPK, BBT, DTD, PNVs
R/R: Rant - I've had a meeting scheduled for at least 2-3 weeks for 7 AM this morning, which is an hour before my regular start time. I show up at 7 AM to find out that management didn't plan accordingly so the people who needed to attend could attend, so meeting had to be postponed until this afternoon. Already at work, no point in leaving, no overtime, no leaving early for showing up early. So I had to sit and twiddle my thumbs for an hour until my shift started.
Rave - I'm starting a class tonight for the first time in 7 years! I'm a little nervous but mostly excited. Bonus points that its 100 % free for me.
CS/Q: Nothing yet.
GTKY: What is one thing about you that people always seem a little surprised when they first find out? I used to work in a strip club. It was a thing my best friend and I when we were in college for a few months. I worked as a shopgirl and she was a waitress. NBD.

*Trigger Warning*
@TravelingCouple I'm sorry you're having a crappy cycle. Sleep deprivation is the absolute worst and I'm sure isn't helping the situation.
@bluejeanbabi05 good luck with your IUI!!!!
@heatherdubrow I am both sad that you had a fight with your BFF and also wanna give you a major high five. Hopefully she takes everything ok the next few weeks
@TravelingCouple big hugs to you
@JuneRoseRuby hope your appt went well!
@lulu1180 I have so much stuff I would love to sell in a garage sale! I keep telling DH that as soon as we buy a house I am going to put together a sale but realistically Idk if I really have enough stuff either. It's mostly just old picture frames and cheap Bed, Bath, Beyond artwork that I want to get rid of.
@pinky917 Sorry to hear about the job! FX there is something better right around the corner.
@GC620 I wish I could get my DH on board to eat organic! He always rolls his eyes at me when we are grocery shopping and I say I want to buy something in organic (or go down the organic aisle). Also, super jealous you got to go skiing.. I was hoping to take a trip out to CO this season to go but it didn't end up working out.
@heatherdubrow I'm the same way... I'm also not a particularly private person about my "personal" life which really drives my husband crazy. I know I have to get better about it for his sake but I just don't really care what people know about me most of the time.
@juneroseruby I took ASL in college and I really loved it. I wish I could remember everything I learned but I never really used it after taking the classes. I'd love to go back and take classes for fun to get better at it again.
@kmornelas29 I can't believe people would say something like that to you... it's a very back handed compliment loll
@VlillyV Glad to hear your co-worker apologized!
@Wildmagelet GL with your class!!
Month/Cycle: TTA
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Temping, CM
R/R: Things are really picking up at work for me so I haven't had any time to keep up with the thread until now. Glad to be busy though because it makes the day go by SO much faster!
CS/Q: Ok ladies so I have a major TMI*** question so this is a warning to ignore if you don't like the know about internet stranger's CM. Sooo.. I have been tracking my CM since going off BC and I haven't noticed much of a change and I don't really know how to even categorize what I am experiencing. It looks almost like EW consistency (kind of stretchy) but it had a yellow tint to it instead of white? I have read online (yes I googled this to try to spare you all) that some people say this is fertile but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me because it's the only CM I have seen all cycle so far. Just wasn't sure if I should be marking it as sticky or creamy or what? Has anyone had this before?
GTKY: What is one thing about you that people always seem a little surprised when they first find out?
I think people are most surprised to hear about my upbringing and my teen years more then anything. I am in a MUCH different place in many ways then who I was and where I was while growing up.

Thanks for all the support ladies! DHs appointment went much better than the first, I think. I am too tired to get into details right now, but your well wishes mean a lot, and I will try to fill you guys in a little more, the more it sinks in. ;)

Can I just say, like a lot of us here, I never imagined when I joined the bump how long we'd be ttc, or just how tough this journey was going to get before it was through. Believe me when I say, your encouragement means so much!
