R/R/CS: I know I'm only at CD14, but I'm feeling like maybe I'm having an anovulatory cycle? IDK. My temps are doing nothing, and I spent the last hour googling CM pics and descriptions. Based on google, I really haven't noticed much of anything there, so thinking "dry." I'm not turning OPKs, and I'm honestly just getting very frustrated. Sorry, I didn't sleep well and I'm having a pity party today.
GTKY: I wish I was better at posting pics, but my wedding color was pink. We got married in Sept, so it was a darker, fall-looking pink. Honestly, I just love the color pink, and I picked that particular shade because that's what shade the bridesmaid dress I picked came in.
@JamieK1882 I never notice any CM either but am pretty sure I still O. From my reading, little or no CM makes timing more important but doesn't count us out. Hang in there!

WAYDTGKTFU: Temping, PNVs, green tea
R/R/CS: None today
GTKY: Blue and yellow. Excuse awkward cropping of personal info!
WAYDTGKU: pnvs, temping, CM, giving OPKs a go, sex
R/R/CS: nope, just patiently (for now) awaiting O
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!) Our colors were dark green and white. Dark green dresses, greenstone necklaces, white and green flowers - cymbidium, lotus seed pods, aeonium, other succulents, hosta, ferns (ETA: bridesmaid bouquets were green Cala lilies with ferns and chocolate fiddleheads). White frosting with green fiddlehead fern decoration on the cake. I loved it.
@JamieK1882 don't get too upset just yet. I regularly o around cd 20-24. Give it some time before getting ahead of yourself. The first few cycle I temped I was worrying too.
TTC1: May 2015
Primary IF May 2016; Failed HSG; Scheduled Lap Sept. 2016
R/R/CS: I like to stick to an EOD schedule until FW and yesterday DH picked up PreSeed and I was excited. Then it started to snow, the shower wouldn't heat up quick enough (seriously need to shave my legs before I make DH deal with that!). Stood there freezing forever until I just gave up. I don't like getting out of the routine, but ugh... In Atlanta we don't like cold.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!) Black and white with some touches of purple and blue. Also a bit off beat..
ETA it was also 7 years ago. I almost embarrassed looking at some pictures now! Man how quickly styles change!
I missed this one yesterday on the tww and totally want to play do gonna play here. Hope that's alright! Ours was black, bright pink, white, and hints of silver. My husband had a grey suit with pink tie and pocket square while the groomsmen had black suits with pink. My girls wore black dresses with pink shoes. I had a pink ribbon on my dress with pink sparkly shoes. Our venue was set with black table cloths and pink napkins. And pink and white rose petals were on the tables. n a

Waydtgku: errything starting today/tomorrow. (I forgot to temp this AM but that's ok since I was snowstorm drinking last night so my temp would be cray).
R/R/CS: usually I'm feeling positive by CD 2 or 3 but this cycle I took a pouting break for a few days. But now I'm pumped by cycle day 6! Here we go!
GTKY: I posted my pics yesterday too bc it looked like fun. But we did black and white with pink flowers. I loved my wedding and love looking at all of yours!
WAYDTGKU: made the final decision to not go to Puerto Rico last night, and DH is in agreement that he'll go without me, so the sex should probably start! Also PNVs, temping, OPKs, Mucinex.
R/R/CS: as predicted, CBAD was taken too early to start, so I've got "high" already. I imagine that'll stretch through the week, but I'm not annoyed since I was expecting it and I think the "peak" will still be accurate in the long run!
GTKY: light blue and yellow. Pic lazily cropped for bridesmaids' privacy!
Everyone's pics are so lovely...I'm glad that you brought this question over here @JamieK1882.
Month/Cycle: 6/6

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, CP, OPKs, PNVs, and shooting for EOD
R/R/CS: So far. I've been able to pretty chill this cycle that I'm hoping I can maintain through the TWW. It's a welcome change after the last two cycles, which were kind of emotionally draining and stressful to me for various reasons.
GTKY: I'm going to dig to see if I can find any photos. The bridesmaid dresses were red and we built the color palette from there.
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Temping, starting OPKs soon, and trying to get over being sick so we can HIO soon
R/R/CS: Thank God for weekends... That's all
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? We did blue and gray with green and white flowers. *Sorry for the gigantic pictures!
R/R/CS: DH can't sit still or stay put ever but even with a jeep, he's not getting out in this storm. I have him held hostage! *evil laugh*
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!) Yay! I played over on TWW yesterday cause it was too fun. I'll olay again though! Our colors were ivory, chocolate and sparkly gold (inspired by my shoes). My girls wore chocolate, the guys wore charcoal suits with chocolate vests/ties. Kinda wish I had the girls in spary gold but oh well.
R/R//CS: positive OPK yesterday, so I'm pretty sure I'll be headed to TWW soon.
We are supposed to go to a co-Ed baby shower today, but I'm not sure we will make it due to ice/snow.
GTKY: this is the best ever! I played on TWW yesterday, but I'll add more details. My one bridesmaid wore plum color and guys ties were plum. The guys boutenirs were succulents. So the colors were plum, soft greens and blues (inspired by the colors on an antique map).

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, temping, CM, sex EOD, EPO, PNVs, DH is taking zinc and folate
R/R/CS: The snow just started but I can't get snowed in with DH because I have to work tonight, so we made sure to BD this morning. The earliest I've ever O'd is CD16 but I vary so much and the EPO has my CM watery already so I'm not taking any chances! We WILL have better timing this cycle!
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? Our wedding was super small and intimate, only 40 people in attendance total. No wedding party, just us! My dress was white and we had sunflowers everywhere. Super simple! My avatar photo is from the wedding but here's a better one!
@houseofsetters your cake is so much like what I wanted, but DH didn't want the "rustic" finish (whtvs) and then (I. Could. Scream.) The blessed florist totally screwed up the cake flowers. (I had to use two florists, one for the bouquets and another for the venue.) The color of the flowers is generally the *main thing* you want to have right that day, and they were not. Not Correct. On. The. Cake. By the time I walked into the room and saw it, it was too late, so... I'm thinking maybe if I can get it into black and white no one would know, or I am seriously considering having the photo people retouch them to make the colours as least LOOK right in the pictures!!! Gahh!
<b>Month/Cycle</b>: 18 temping / 6 ntnp / 3 ttc

<b>WAYDTGKU</b>: BBT, paper charting, starting OPK's this cycle, mucinex starting today or tomorrow, PNV's, Calcium, DHA, all the tea, no coffee... Maybe take advantage of the snowstorm to start HIO ;)
<b>R/R/CS</b>: I am not convinced that I am really 9 days away from ovulation. I mean, I COULD BE, but I have frequently ovulated on CD12 which means I'm just in the -5 range... but we have been doing this thing where we start way early and then lose steam right around -1, O last cycle being a perfect example, so I don't want to put too much pressure on ourselves to go crazy too soon. Last cycle it did start to turn into a chore, and I want it to still be fun!
<b>GTKY</b>: My palette was sage green with ivory/peach/blush/salmon/coral flowers and champagne/gold accents! The maids and jr maids were in sage green, the two 7-year old flower girls in ivory/champagne lace, and two 3-year old "flower babies" in ivory dupioni silk with coral sashes.

R/R/CS: DH and I are snowed in together all weekend and it's not even close to my O date. Why couldn't have the snow come about a week later? Ugh. Oh well....practice makes perfect, right?
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!) We had a fall wedding and used mostly pumpkins for decorations instead of flowers. We did burgundy, orange, and brown as our colors. It was absolutely beautiful.
R/R/CS: dh and I got drunk on supernatural (guilty netflix pleasure) last night and I woke up at 10 to realize I never temped, never even stirred at the alarm. I guess when you're snowed in, who needs to wake up early!
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!) I love this one! I'm mobile so when I get to my comp I'm posting pics. We got married the week before thanksgiving and it was fall themed. Deep reds, oranges, and golds.
R/R/CS: DH and I are going shopping for a new tv this morning! I'm pretty excited. It's been a long time since we purchased something nice just because we wanted to.

WAYDTGKU: pnv, cm, temp, OPKs and progesterone support once I ovulate
R/R/CS: Had my first RE appointment this week and it gave me a lot of great information. They suggested progesterone supplements after ovulation because I suspected a progesterone deficiency. Hopefully that will be the trick and we won't have to take any further steps! If I get my period, we are doing the SA, HSG and all that good stuff to figure out what's going on.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!) I love this one! Mine were gold, pink, ivory and green, very "classic wedding." Sorry if this pic is huge!
WAYDTGKU: Monday, I need to call in for my 3rd round of clomid. Not sure if she's going to want to do 100 mg again or 150 mg this time. My cycle was 34 days long, which is actually my shortest ever.
R/R/CS: Not a lot, I actually just *knew* I wasn't pregnant from 7 dpo on, so I'm not shocked or anything today. Feeling OK right now.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!)
I answered this yesterday, but I'll include pics today!
R/R/CS: My am temp is still high (4th day in a row) so I'm still playing the "am I post-O or just sick?" game. I kindof have my FX for the post-O scenario, but I am not itching to test at all. I'll hang out here until I have more reason to suspect I don't belong here. ETA rewording
GTKY (stolen from TWW): Love this!!! Navy blue and orange!! H wore a navy and orange striped bow tie with dinner mess dress. We had a destination wedding with only our parents so the paper goods were really important to me. (Pics are on my computer, in a box, with all of our other stuff, somewhere.) We sent out gorgeous navy/orange wedding announcements that I got from a girl on Etsy, and H discovered that you can send one to POTUS/former POTUS and you'll get a reply back. We just got our reply framed (I'm so not meaning anything political by this but go ahead and flame me) and I love how it turned out!
R/R/CS:PISSED OFF!!! My GP will not refer me to a medical endocrinologist, and wants me to go straight to RE. My only hope is that my OB/GYN refer me, guess we'll find out next week.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!) Black and White. My husband is color blind so I figured why not pic colors he can actually fully see and appreciate.

GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!) Mostly Red, some peach, and blues... A mix of colors. We loved how it turned out
*edited to crop photo , and then fix where I just accidentally said "edited to crap photo" LOL!
WAYDTGKU: We're still just HIO... plus all of the things.
R/R/CS: I still don't have a temp rise and I've had 7 days of fertile CM when I usually only have 4. I'm so incredibly frustrated with this cycle. I'm beginning to think it might turn out to be delayed ovulation or straight up anovulatory. We've had sex every day for a week. I am real tired of it already. If anyone wants to *CS* here's my chart.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!) What a fun question! Do sparkles count as a color? Lol, that was one of the main elements of my wedding. Not sparkles per se, but definitely rhinestones/gems. My main colors were white, taupe, silver, and raspberry accents. The boys all wore black tuxes with bow ties. I loved how it turned out.
@babymish Aw, thanks! That's so sweet! I actually was flipping through wedding stuff and saw it in a magazine and was like, OMG! That's my dress! It was actually my second dress because I lost weight while the wedding date just kept getting pushed back, soo... I felt pretty lucky.

I super love seeing everyone's wedding photos! They're all so beautiful!
@BusinessWife I usually O CD16-19, so this isn't crazy late for me, but like I mentioned I usually only ever get 3-4 days of fertile CM, and this month i'm at day 7. I temped when I woke up early at 5:40 (usual temping time is 6:15), and it was that low 97.04, and I temped again when I got up at 8:25 and it was 97.76. I feel like I trust the 5:40 temp more so I used it for my chart. I'm just hoping I O soon because DH is leaving for a business trip on Tuesday for the rest of the week! gah.
@mchrisgarcia your Corpse Bride cake topper is awesome!! @strickland8052 our colors were pretty similar! Also, I initially wanted to use a lot of succulents, but I basically gave up on wedding planning as it went on and didn't really do anything I had originally planned. xD @DumbledoresArmy I'm sorry about CD1!
Month/Cycle: 4/4

WAYDTGKU: Temping, messing up my temps with alcohol, CM/CP, PNV, HIO
R/R/CS: I went out with my two bestfriends last night (they have five kids between the two of them, so it's not often we can all go have drinks), and tonight DH is having some of our friends over to drink and play our dorky card and board games. So I'm going to have two temps in a row messed up from drinking, oops!
GTKY: We really didn't do much with our colors because we got married at a glass chapel in the middle of the woods, so I refused to put any decorations up and ruin the whole nature aspect. But we had plum and teal/blues in what we wore and our flowers. Also, I wore teal chucks: Then a little over a week later we had a reception back where we live, which was super not fancy and felt more like a big party with a DJ and photo booth. I didn't even want a reception because I hated wedding planning, and I REALLY hate having that many people looking at me. Anyways, I wore a flower crown that night and I loved it so much, I seriously should have been alive in the 60s/70s. So here's a photobooth picture to show off my flower crown and the fact that I got to marry the Docotor (haha): Apparently this was towards the end of the night, because that's definitely my drunk face and my hair is a mess.
<span class="vanilla-mention-@">@MissAmeliaPond </span>FX you O between now and Monday then, and you'll be all set! That is tough though because of course it would look totally different with the later temp! Arghh! Where are those darn O-pains when you need 'em?
WAYDTGKU: EOD starting today and cm. I cannot find my bbt anywhere and I'm afraid I left it In my nightstand at the in laws. Oh god.
R/R/CS: Nada.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!). We eloped to Jamaica, and then returned home and then few to DFW where our families threw a huge party... So we kinda had two. The colors were Navy, orange and green which SOUNDS awful lol... But...
Originally I chose navy and coral, but when picking the flowers I fell in love with this bouquet and it went remarkably well with Hubby's suit/tie with the ocean as a back drop. The ribbon that wrapped it was navy.
When we got home, the party was done in all Navy and coral... I don't have any pictures of that on this device It was more "trendy" with lots of coral prints and seashells. I wish I had a pic of my party cake on this device.... It had cascading seashells down the side ... My friend is a cake baker and did that as our gift. homebrewing friends made two different kegs of homebrew . we called them "groomscake chocolate stout" and "Michaels Amber" (my name is amber... Clearly a type of beer. Tee hee! Love a play on words. Such a nerd)
Just realizes I went way beyond colors .... I still get so giddy about it

R/R/CS: I feel bad putting this on blast but there were some *ahem* (performance) issues last night. I was pissed. I know that's not very supportive wifey of me, but WTF?! I told H that we needed to bone all weekend. I'm quite sure it was a vodka consumption issue, which is even more annoying. I couldn't have been more clear about what the plans were this weekend.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!). We got married in a very fancy ballroom. I wanted to combine a little nature (or nature colors) with the glitz to tone it down a bit since I'm not super glitzy (more of a tomboy type). We did Latte colored dresses, green hydrangea for my bridal party, centerpieces with branches and a brown cake. To me, it was just the right mix of grounded and flashy.

Based on google, I really haven't noticed much of anything there, so thinking "dry." I'm not turning OPKs, and I'm honestly just getting very frustrated. Sorry, I didn't sleep well and I'm having a pity party today.
GTKY: I wish I was better at posting pics, but my wedding color was pink. We got married in Sept, so it was a darker, fall-looking pink. Honestly, I just love the color pink, and I picked that particular shade because that's what shade the bridesmaid dress I picked came in.

GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!) We were married in the fall so we had plum and burnt orange as our colors.
ETA: added picture

Month/cycle: 7/8
CD: 6
Waydtgku: errything starting today/tomorrow. (I forgot to temp this AM but that's ok since I was snowstorm drinking last night so my temp would be cray).
R/R/CS: usually I'm feeling positive by CD 2 or 3 but this cycle I took a pouting break for a few days. But now I'm pumped by cycle day 6! Here we go!
GTKY: I posted my pics yesterday too bc it looked like fun. But we did black and white with pink flowers. I loved my wedding and love looking at all of yours!
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: made the final decision to not go to Puerto Rico last night, and DH is in agreement that he'll go without me, so the sex should probably start! Also PNVs, temping, OPKs, Mucinex.
R/R/CS: as predicted, CBAD was taken too early to start, so I've got "high" already. I imagine that'll stretch through the week, but I'm not annoyed since I was expecting it and I think the "peak" will still be accurate in the long run!
GTKY: light blue and yellow. Pic lazily cropped for bridesmaids' privacy!
TTC #2: April 2018 ~~ BFP: May 2018 ~~ EDD: January 2019
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, CP, OPKs, PNVs, and shooting for EOD
R/R/CS: So far. I've been able to pretty chill this cycle that I'm hoping I can maintain through the TWW. It's a welcome change after the last two cycles, which were kind of emotionally draining and stressful to me for various reasons.
GTKY: I'm going to dig to see if I can find any photos. The bridesmaid dresses were red and we built the color palette from there.
DH: 36⎹ Me: 36
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Temping, starting OPKs soon, and trying to get over being sick so we can HIO soon
R/R/CS: Thank God for weekends... That's all
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? We did blue and gray with green and white flowers.
*Sorry for the gigantic pictures!

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, waiting for AF to leave!
R/R/CS: I've got nothing.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!)
Our colors were ivory and blush with some gold.
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: TTA this cycle
R/R/CS: DH can't sit still or stay put ever but even with a jeep, he's not getting out in this storm. I have him held hostage! *evil laugh*
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!)
Yay! I played over on TWW yesterday cause it was too fun. I'll olay again though! Our colors were ivory, chocolate and sparkly gold (inspired by my shoes). My girls wore chocolate, the guys wore charcoal suits with chocolate vests/ties. Kinda wish I had the girls in spary gold but oh well.
Me: 32 & DH: 37

R/R//CS: positive OPK yesterday, so I'm pretty sure I'll be headed to TWW soon.
We are supposed to go to a co-Ed baby shower today, but I'm not sure we will make it due to ice/snow.
GTKY: this is the best ever! I played on TWW yesterday, but I'll add more details. My one bridesmaid wore plum color and guys ties were plum. The guys boutenirs were succulents. So the colors were plum, soft greens and blues (inspired by the colors on an antique map).
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: Now that AF is officially gone, temping, CM, CP, OPKs (I might try again this cycle. I have no patience with them and my long cycles.)
R/R/CS: I'm still laying in bed as I type this, and I have no desire to get up anytime soon. Maybe that should go in FFSaturdayC?
GTKY: Purple! It's my favorite color! And we used pearls and antique broaches for accents.

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, temping, CM, sex EOD, EPO, PNVs, DH is taking zinc and folate
R/R/CS: The snow just started but I can't get snowed in with DH because I have to work tonight, so we made sure to BD this morning. The earliest I've ever O'd is CD16 but I vary so much and the EPO has my CM watery already so I'm not taking any chances! We WILL have better timing this cycle!
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? Our wedding was super small and intimate, only 40 people in attendance total. No wedding party, just us! My dress was white and we had sunflowers everywhere. Super simple! My avatar photo is from the wedding but here's a better one!
@houseofsetters your cake is so much like what I wanted, but DH didn't want the "rustic" finish (whtvs) and then (I. Could. Scream.) The blessed florist totally screwed up the cake flowers. (I had to use two florists, one for the bouquets and another for the venue.) The color of the flowers is generally the *main thing* you want to have right that day, and they were not. Not Correct. On. The. Cake. By the time I walked into the room and saw it, it was too late, so... I'm thinking maybe if I can get it into black and white no one would know, or I am seriously considering having the photo people retouch them to make the colours as least LOOK right in the pictures!!! Gahh!
<b>Month/Cycle</b>: 18 temping / 6 ntnp / 3 ttc
<b>CD</b>: 7
<b>WAYDTGKU</b>: BBT, paper charting, starting OPK's this cycle, mucinex starting today or tomorrow, PNV's, Calcium, DHA, all the tea, no coffee... Maybe take advantage of the snowstorm to start HIO ;)
<b>R/R/CS</b>: I am not convinced that I am really 9 days away from ovulation. I mean, I COULD BE, but I have frequently ovulated on CD12 which means I'm just in the -5 range... but we have been doing this thing where we start way early and then lose steam right around -1, O last cycle being a perfect example, so I don't want to put too much pressure on ourselves to go crazy too soon. Last cycle it did start to turn into a chore, and I want it to still be fun!
<b>GTKY</b>: My palette was sage green with ivory/peach/blush/salmon/coral flowers and champagne/gold accents! The maids and jr maids were in sage green, the two 7-year old flower girls in ivory/champagne lace, and two 3-year old "flower babies" in ivory dupioni silk with coral sashes. The men wore charcoal tuxes with sage green ties and peachy boutonnieres.

WAYDTGKU: BD EOD, temping, OPKs
R/R/CS: DH and I are snowed in together all weekend and it's not even close to my O date. Why couldn't have the snow come about a week later? Ugh. Oh well....practice makes perfect, right?
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!) We had a fall wedding and used mostly pumpkins for decorations instead of flowers. We did burgundy, orange, and brown as our colors. It was absolutely beautiful.
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: pnv, cm, temp, finally back to hio
R/R/CS: dh and I got drunk on supernatural (guilty netflix pleasure) last night and I woke up at 10 to realize I never temped, never even stirred at the alarm. I guess when you're snowed in, who needs to wake up early!
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!)
I love this one! I'm mobile so when I get to my comp I'm posting pics. We got married the week before thanksgiving and it was fall themed. Deep reds, oranges, and golds.
eta: photos, hopefully they worked
CD: 21
WAYDTGKU: bbt, hio, checking cm when I remember
R/R/CS: DH and I are going shopping for a new tv this morning! I'm pretty excited. It's been a long time since we purchased something nice just because we wanted to.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!)
I played over in ttw yesterday because I loved this question so much! I will share again today. Who doesn't like to talk about their own wedding! Our colors were purple, grey and white

WAYDTGKU: pnv, cm, temp, OPKs and progesterone support once I ovulate
R/R/CS: Had my first RE appointment this week and it gave me a lot of great information. They suggested progesterone supplements after ovulation because I suspected a progesterone deficiency. Hopefully that will be the trick and we won't have to take any further steps! If I get my period, we are doing the SA, HSG and all that good stuff to figure out what's going on.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!)
I love this one! Mine were gold, pink, ivory and green, very "classic wedding." Sorry if this pic is huge!
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: Monday, I need to call in for my 3rd round of clomid. Not sure if she's going to want to do 100 mg again or 150 mg this time. My cycle was 34 days long, which is actually my shortest ever.
R/R/CS: Not a lot, I actually just *knew* I wasn't pregnant from 7 dpo on, so I'm not shocked or anything today. Feeling OK right now.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!)
I answered this yesterday, but I'll include pics today!
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: all of it
R/R/CS: My am temp is still high (4th day in a row) so I'm still playing the "am I post-O or just sick?" game. I kindof have my FX for the post-O scenario, but I am not itching to test at all. I'll hang out here until I have more reason to suspect I don't belong here. ETA rewording
GTKY (stolen from TWW): Love this!!! Navy blue and orange!! H wore a navy and orange striped bow tie with dinner mess dress. We had a destination wedding with only our parents so the paper goods were really important to me. (Pics are on my computer, in a box, with all of our other stuff, somewhere.) We sent out gorgeous navy/orange wedding announcements that I got from a girl on Etsy, and H discovered that you can send one to POTUS/former POTUS and you'll get a reply back. We just got our reply framed (I'm so not meaning anything political by this but go ahead and flame me) and I love how it turned out!

WAYDTGKU: We're still just HIO... plus all of the things.
R/R/CS: I still don't have a temp rise and I've had 7 days of fertile CM when I usually only have 4. I'm so incredibly frustrated with this cycle. I'm beginning to think it might turn out to be delayed ovulation or straight up anovulatory. We've had sex every day for a week. I am real tired of it already.
If anyone wants to *CS* here's my chart.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!) What a fun question! Do sparkles count as a color? Lol, that was one of the main elements of my wedding. Not sparkles per se, but definitely rhinestones/gems. My main colors were white, taupe, silver, and raspberry accents. The boys all wore black tuxes with bow ties. I loved how it turned out.

OMG I could seriously kill the photographer. Empty Starbucks cup? Really? lol I guess that is what cropping is for! *Edit for photo sizing*
@BusinessWife I usually O CD16-19, so this isn't crazy late for me, but like I mentioned I usually only ever get 3-4 days of fertile CM, and this month i'm at day 7. I temped when I woke up early at 5:40 (usual temping time is 6:15), and it was that low 97.04, and I temped again when I got up at 8:25 and it was 97.76. I feel like I trust the 5:40 temp more so I used it for my chart. I'm just hoping I O soon because DH is leaving for a business trip on Tuesday for the rest of the week! gah.
@strickland8052 our colors were pretty similar! Also, I initially wanted to use a lot of succulents, but I basically gave up on wedding planning as it went on and didn't really do anything I had originally planned. xD
@DumbledoresArmy I'm sorry about CD1!
Month/Cycle: 4/4

WAYDTGKU: Temping, messing up my temps with alcohol, CM/CP, PNV, HIO
R/R/CS: I went out with my two bestfriends last night (they have five kids between the two of them, so it's not often we can all go have drinks), and tonight DH is having some of our friends over to drink and play our dorky card and board games. So I'm going to have two temps in a row messed up from drinking, oops!
GTKY: We really didn't do much with our colors because we got married at a glass chapel in the middle of the woods, so I refused to put any decorations up and ruin the whole nature aspect. But we had plum and teal/blues in what we wore and our flowers.
Also, I wore teal chucks:
Then a little over a week later we had a reception back where we live, which was super not fancy and felt more like a big party with a DJ and photo booth. I didn't even want a reception because I hated wedding planning, and I REALLY hate having that many people looking at me. Anyways, I wore a flower crown that night and I loved it so much, I seriously should have been alive in the 60s/70s. So here's a photobooth picture to show off my flower crown and the fact that I got to marry the Docotor (haha):
Apparently this was towards the end of the night, because that's definitely my drunk face and my hair is a mess.

GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!). We eloped to Jamaica, and then returned home and then few to DFW where our families threw a huge party... So we kinda had two. The colors were Navy, orange and green which SOUNDS awful lol... But...
Originally I chose navy and coral, but when picking the flowers I fell in love with this bouquet and it went remarkably well with Hubby's suit/tie with the ocean as a back drop. The ribbon that wrapped it was navy.
When we got home, the party was done in all Navy and coral... I don't have any pictures of that on this device
Just realizes I went way beyond colors .... I still get so giddy about it

WAYDTGKU: see fail below
R/R/CS: I feel bad putting this on blast but there were some *ahem* (performance) issues last night. I was pissed. I know that's not very supportive wifey of me, but WTF?! I told H that we needed to bone all weekend. I'm quite sure it was a vodka consumption issue, which is even more annoying. I couldn't have been more clear about what the plans were this weekend.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): If you are/were married,what were your wedding colors? (bonus points for pics!). We got married in a very fancy ballroom. I wanted to combine a little nature (or nature colors) with the glitz to tone it down a bit since I'm not super glitzy (more of a tomboy type). We did Latte colored dresses, green hydrangea for my bridal party, centerpieces with branches and a brown cake. To me, it was just the right mix of grounded and flashy.
