R/R/CS: had a huge dip today so was just being overly-dramatic yesterday. I hate how crazy this process makes me. On the non-dramatic bat shit crazy side of things, fertile cm today! Yay!!! Thanks everyone for the support yesterday. I needed it.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture. this is Velveeta (white) and feta (tortoise)
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, CP, OPKs, HIO almost ED after AF, PNV, Clomid, Mucinex, Progesterone
R/R/CS: So I think we're done HIO this cycle. 8 straight days and DH and I are both like
But at least I had a pretty good temp rise this morning. Since my OPK was almost positive the night of CD15, I'm guessing I probably ovulated late last night. Hoping for more high temps and some CH soon.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture.
This is my Siberian Husky, Koda. And my rescue cat, Gaz who mostly goes by Gatito.
WAYDTGKU: resting at the moment. Long stressful LP last time and super heavy flow has me like
R/R/CS: I've thought about skipping both opk's and temping this month and just relaxing and hio during when ff thinks my fertile window should be. I know it decreases my chances but like I said I'm tired. Stressed. I need to take my mind off some things temporarily. We'll see how I feel after AF is gone.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture.
These are my two bullys. Gunner is an English Bulldog and Daffodil is a pit. Both rescues. They hate each other, obviously.
Mama to two perfect little girls. Lucy 07-13-11 Violet 03-13-14 Conceived #3 since September 2015 11-25-15 twelve week loss 07-21-16 ten week loss 10-03-16 5 week loss TTC again soon!
R/R/CS: AF is gone woo hoo! Thanks for the hugs/support yesterday. Was just having an all around down day. I feel better today. I woke up on time to temp so all around good stuff.
GTKY: we have two kitties and a puppy. Oh and H has frogs. lets see if I can put a pic in here *newb alert. From several years ago at least this point. Excuse the mess we had just gotten back from a trip. Sorry if it's huge I'm on mobile
@sarah0985 yay for the temp dump and fertile cm! @nwegman7878 woah 8 days in a row! Nice going! Makes me sore just thinking about that haha. @jedially85 hope AF moves out quickly! I was totally thinking about all the pros of a Christmas baby the other day! @jenmlangtake2 cute pic! So sweet they're snuggling. I wish my cats would do that but they actually do hate each other haha.
@sarah0985 Yay for fertile CM! Also, LOVE your cat's names! @nwegman7878 I love that episode of Futurama! It's so funny! @JediAlly85 Fx AF gets her butt in gear and leaves. For you and me both lol. @Jenmlangtake2 If say if you need a mental healthy cycle, you should definitely take it. Listen to your body! *hugs* @sandwichlover Glad you're having a better day!
Month/cycle: 6/4
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, BBT. I finally tracked down Raspberry Leaf Tea at a tiny health and wellness store. DH is picking it up for me after work. Wooo!
R/R/CS: Not much to complain or rave about today. Just willing AF to go away. Also hoping to hear back from my OBGYN today about having missed the glucose test.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture.
This is my kitty Jezzy (Jezebel). But she only will respond too keycat because that's pretty much all I ever call her. She's a total diva. (Sorry about the big space at the end, no idea how to fix it!)
This is our rottie Charlie. She's a lova and also a fighter lol.
@sarah0985 yay for fertile CM. I am also shocked by how insane TTC has made me, but at least we get it out (mostly) on here. @nwegman7878 hope you and H enjoy your well-deserved break! FX for confirmed O soon. @jenmlangtake2 Take a break if you need to for your mental sanity! I gave up doing OPKs and now don't set an alarm to temp--just do it when I wake up. It's not perfect, but I still see a temp shift. @SandwichLover Sayonara AF!!!
Month/cycle: 7/7
CD: 19
WAYDTGKU: not a thing besides temping
R/R/CS: So I am feeling fairly confident that yesterday was O. Temp raise today and nonfertile CM. I usually have a slow rise, though, so I never know what day during the slow rise is actually O.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture. Like @jenmlangtake2 we also have two bullys that hate each other
Here is Otis and his daughter, Luna, doing their all-time favorite activity:
@sarah0985 Yay for the fertile CM. FX you get to move over to
TWW very soon! Love your kitties!
@JediAlly85 Yay for Christmas babies! F off AF! I love Murphy!
@jenmlangtake2 I was thinking of taking a break from it
too. I just couldn’t tear myself away
though. The wondering would kill
me. I wish I had your will power! My puppies name is Gunner too.
@Mrsdaddario Hoping AF goes away for you very soon and Yay for
Raspberry Leaf Tea. Let us know how you like
it.

WAYDTGKU:
CM, BBT, OPK, BD ED in FW, Pre-seed
R/R/CS:
I'm surprisingly OK with CD 2. I have a family dinner tonight so I'm
going to get my drink on! Also, I'm going to get back into the gym this
month starting tomorrow. I've been out of the gym for a month and a half
and I can really notice and my self esteem is taking a hit and I just feel
blah! This will also give me something else to focus on.
GTKY: Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own,
post your favorite animal gif/picture.
These are my puppies!! I love them so much. The little one is
Layla, she is an 8lb, 6 year old Yorkie Pomeranian Mix. The bigger
(still wittle though) one is Gunner and he is a 25lb 1 year old Maltipoo.
All they do it cuddle. xoxoxo
R/R/CS: So i am still spotting, hmmmmmmm, interesting...I will just tell myself it's because I am ultra fertile this cycle! Nothing much else to say today! I am hoping for good timing this month. Will probably do my first OPK this weekend, just to get a baseline, then all engines go next week!!!! I hope I stay on this 31 day cycle thing from last month and O around CD 16. Stay slightly regular body, please!
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture.
I have posted them before, but FINE, twist my arm to do it again! My little angel babies. Both rescues....they keep life interesting! The one on the right ate a box of matches last week! I really do have to work to keep him alive..........
ok let me just start by saying today's GTKY is going to be a massive CUTE OVERLOAD!
Month/Cycle: 11/11
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: BBT, FF, PNV+DHA, BD ED/EOD
R/R/CS: I'm worried (devastated actually) that I might have developed a dairy sensitivity during my whole30. Let's just say I've been having a lot of the symptoms (TMI) the last few days UGH DOUBLE UGH UGH. I will never give up my beloved cheese! It seems like I'm having reactions mainly to actual MILK (in my coffee) so I went ahead & bought some SO Delicious French Vanilla Coconut Milk Creamer (Vegan, Gluten Free) to conduct an experiment. I shall keep y'all posted!
GTKY: This is Baby Rupert Around 6 weeks old He just turned 7 and is around 150+ pounds now TeeHee.
@JediAlly85 I feel you on the Christmas baby!!!! Maybe it will bring good luck to the whole board. Those dreaded holiday babies, right?!
@nwegman7878 oh man! I feel like I wish I could give you a high five across the internet! I could only dream of that timing! FX that you get those CHs!
@sarah0985 Don't feel bad, it makes us all overly dramatic! Happy for your dip! FX you can move on to TWW soon!

WAYDTGKU: PNV, diet, exercise. I still have some cramps and bloating from AF, so I've told DH to stay away.
R/R/CS: I made an appointment for my CD3 labs tomorrow. I'm not too unhappy right now because I am excited to have answers. I'm getting the blood work done with my old OBGYN and then will request the results be sent to a new OBGYN. Words cannot describe how pissed I am at the old doctor. No. Words.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture.
These two are Much (Schnauzer) and Bear (grey cat). They were huddled around our space heater after our heat went out.
And this angel is my baby, Brian. He's been living with my parents, because my mom loves to have him around when my dad is working late. Love this little guy.
@sarah0985 FX things are looking up! It makes me laugh whenever I get excited about fertile CM, its the little things in life really. haha @nwegman7878 The most we ever did was 7 days in a row, so I know how you feel. Good for you girl! Now enjoy your much deserved break. Also, I have a soft spot for huskies and yours is adorable! @JediAlly85 Glad to hear you are starting to feel better! Love your dogs name. @jenmlangtake2 I took a break one cycle and it felt amazing. @SandwichLover So glad you are feeling better today! That is so cool that your husband has frogs! You should post a pic of them too. @felix08 Your puppies are so cute! I love their little squishy faces. haha @kfair001 Working out always makes me feel better too, enjoy your drinks tonight! @thefarmerswife0411 ugh! That would be the worst. I hope it is just your body adjusting and you don't have to give up cheese. That sounds like a nightmare! lol
Hi y'all! Thanks to you lovely ladies, I blasted 90s music from my computer all day yesterday.
Sorry if I have to post and ghost again--work!
Month/cycle: 4

WAYDTGKU: ugh just raspberry leaf tea and PNV right now
R/R/CS: Nothing much to report. We've got lots of office drama right now thanks to another person on campus taking over one of our office spaces and forcing us to undergo a major office renovation this summer to somehow add an office in our already limited space. Boo. I love the people I work with but sometimes people outside of our own office are a much different story.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture.
Here is my little fur baby Clara! She is 5 years old and is half beagle/half dachsund--she was a shelter dog. We call her our little bratwurst! Here she is with her bff manatee Ronald (I actually did not have to pose her like that, lol)
Also, my parents have 5 goats. I love them! Here are some of them in a pic from last spring when a couple were babies.
R/R/CS: Feeling down today and not sure why. I go for an ultrasound here in a few hours.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture.
This is Adara. She is a 12 YO Rhodesian Ridgeback but this pic was taken probably 6 years ago... she is much greyer now. She still acts like a puppy sometimes though

R/R/CS: Question--for some weird reason I decided to use both CBAD and CBD OPKs this cycle. I've always used CBD in the past, but thought I would spice things up and try the CBAD as well. Anyway, this morning I goet a positive CBD but only a high (flashing smiley) CBAD. Has anyone had two different types of test give different readings? I know that a high on a CBAD still means I'm fertile, but I was really hoping both would line up. Any thoughts? Either way, I'm super happy I got a + on the CBD because last cycle I never got a +!!!!

WAYDTGKU: sex, trying to keep stress level to a minimum, healthy eating/vitamins
R/R/CS: I think I am getting my hopes up too much this cycle. I've been looking at adorable Christmas baby photos.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture. It was hard to find a picture of them together because Sadie (short hair) is a pain in the butt and usually sits on Hunter or lies on him until he changes spots.
R/R/CS: I'm pretty sure I won't figure out I've ovulated until after it happens because it's my first cycle... so I might just hang out here for a bit.
Also I'm SO excited to see all ya'lls pets. @kellybean1988 I'm 100% jealous your parents have goats. I want goats.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture.
I've never posted a picture before so we'll see how this goes...
This is our baby, Rocky. He's a youngin and all he wants to do is cuddle and be cute. Note the paw under his chin. He posed for this one haha
Comet, our moody teenager. He doesn't like anyone but me. Also, his favourite hangout is plastic bags. (Don't worry, we put them away so he's not playing unsupervised)
Miss Minnie, our mama cat who makes sure everyone feels cuddled and loved and not sad all the time.
Bonus: When Minnie and Comet realized how awesome cuddling each other was.
WAYDTGKU: All the sex, none of the temping. Taking a mental break this month.
R/R/CS: This morning, DH woke me up to BD. I told him, "hey Im not even close to ovulating" and he said he didnt care and that he just wanted to be close to me today. Swoon.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture. My pitbull and terrier mix. They are both rescues and the best of friends. The little one is kind of a jerk, tbh.
BTW @nwegman7878 , you win for the best GTKY EVA!! Everyone loves sharing pics of their fur babies and I love to see them!! Thanks for this one!
@Dilynne goats are AWESOME. They are some of the sweetest animals on the planet--they are like little puppies, each with their own personalities. I love them!!! If you ever have the opportunity to get them--DO IT!
Y'alls furbabies are the cutest. For reals.
TTC January 2016 BFP May 17, 2016 DS born January 31st, 2017: Rory "Mac" MacKinnon
R/R/CS: I feel kind of defeated after not being pregnant last month. I know that trying for two months and still not being KU is totally normal and there's nothing wrong with us, I just really want to be pregnant. All I can think about is how I would be seven months pregnant now if we hadn't had a miscarriage. I shouldn't be having to temp or pee on sticks or have periods or any of that. It just seems so messed up. Blah.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture. I love this GTKY! So many precious fur babies. This is Milo. We rescued him in October of 2013. His previous owner hadn't even named him - just dropped him and an older female golden off at the shelter because he didn't want them anymore The female was apparently the perfect dog and immediately picked up by a golden retriever rescue, but Milo was shy and left at the shelter. I guess they were worried that no one would want him? Either way, we got him home and he immediately fell in love with us and we fell in love with him and he has been the best pet we could ever ask for! (Also, his previous owner can suck it - we got a full-blooded golden for $85 thanks to him!!)
@Dilynne Don't worry - none of us can know we ovulated until after the fact (well, unless you're getting ultrasounds). Usually people hang out here until about 3 days after ovulating when FF gives them CH
Month/cycle: 7/8
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, CP, BD casually until this weekend when we'll switch to ED/EOD
R/R/CS: Super excited for my 5 day weekend! Though I suppose Thursday I'll still be working at home because I have to grade tests before the drop deadline on Friday
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture. Our two cats. I think they were hiding from the vacuum when I took this pic lol
WAYDTGKU: blinky smiley yesterday and today so basically just HIO. I took my first mucinex today and still have two more left and a fresh pack coming. Feeling pretty low-key about the whole thing this cycle. Alternately feeling like whatever, we're just going through the motions and probably nothing will come of it and thinking the minute you "stop trying" is when they say it happens. So... :P
R/R/CS: Chart overlay is totally my favourite thing! <img title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/8i/ree2zmtaicig.jpg" alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/8i/ree2zmtaicig.jpg" height="263" width="369">

R/R/CS: Just happy that DH comes home today after being away at work the last week. and that AF has come and gone!
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture
Well I couldn't possibly pass up this GTKY
This is Shelby. She just about 3. Her birthday is actually mine and DH's wedding anniversary. Her first birthday was our wedding.... this was a coincidence I swear. I am beyond the crazy dog lady so not many people believe this is a coincidence lol
This is Brooklyn. She is the rowdy little 1.5 year old in our family. She's a bratt and likes to destroy our house but we still love her
Here is a more recent picture of them since obviously the ones I previously posted are puppy pictures... but they were just the cutest puppies ever (in my opinion of course)
I have to post, because Raider is an attention whore and wants me to post pictures of him. He's a 2 and a half year old Mini Schnauzer/Shih-Tzu/Yorkie and is 18 lbs. He loves to eat and rip apart tennis balls strangely enough. And snuggling. He is always in your lap if you're sitting.
Yes, he rides in a booster seat in the truck. Gotta be safe.
R/R/CS: flashing smiley on adv OPK today... That was surprising..
The doc FINALLY called me back (well, one of the nurses did). Apparently I was supposed to have schedule a follow up appointment (would been nice if someone had told me that). So appointment is made for Thursday. They said they would call if there is no reason for DH to come... So I guess if they don't call then that means there is an issue with his SA . Ugh
i should schedule the appointment for Friday when we don't have work but I don't want to wait another freaking day.
GTKY - Show me your pets.
this is my Emmett. He is a 6 year old lab mix (about 60 lbs)
and this is my Ellie. She is an 11 month old corgi/ daschound mix (we think) (about 20 lbs)
@sarah0985 love your kitties' names! @nwegman7878 I don't know how you did it! @thefarmerswife0411 have you ever tried almond milk? Vanilla almond milk is great in coffee and cereal, and chocolate almond milk is great for drinking

R/R/CS: Rave: I genuinely thought this was going to be an anovulatory cycle, however I got (another) positive OPK last night and based on previous cycles the timing *might* make sense! Unfortunately we were both WAY too exhausted to HIO last night, so we opted for morning BD instead. Really hoping to see a temp shift soon. Rant: I ended up picking up CBD OPKs, and does anyone else think it's a waste to throw away the handle when you haven't used all the strips yet? I wish there was a way to reset the handle so you can finish out the box. These things aren't cheap, I hate to waste them!
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture. So many cute furkids out there! I've got my furkids all over facebook, so instead here's an homage to an old friend of mine
R/R/CS: This is how I feel about this cycle right now:
Negative OPK. Low temp.....blah blah blah. Still waiting for O or AF.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture.

@nwegman7878 your picture made me laugh out loud at my desk. YAY for a temp rise!
@JediAlly85 I love how Murphy is practically smiling in his picture. Sooo cute!
@jenmlangtake2 You have to do what's best for you. For what it's worth, FF predicted my fertile week to be CD18-CD22. However, my fertile CM began on CD 9 and I'm on CD 13 and have a positive OPK. If I would have listened to FF, I would have missed my fertile week. The other option would be to HIO every other day the entire cycle, which might be less stressful!
@sandwichlover I'm so happy to hear you are feeling better today!!!
@mrsdaddario I hope you get good news from the OBGYN about not being able to do the glucose test yesterday. I don't see how that could mess up your other testing--I would think that could be done at any time.
@felix08 YAY for the temp rise! I hope you get a few more to confirm O and can move to the TWW!
@kfair001 OMG I just want to squeeze your puppies!! So cute!!
@Zoey1019 I hope you stay on your 31 day cycle too! I have a good feeling about this cycle for you since you're ultra fertile
@mokay19 Jasmine is so cute! I hope your body starts to do something soon so you can move out of WTO!
@thefarmerswife0411 I'm so sorry about the dairy intolerance. Hopefully your body gets used to dairy again and you can enjoy all the cheese!
@pepperAT We have two havanese as well!! I just love the breed!!
@Berkebaby I'm so happy you are finally getting your testing done and will get some answers. I'm also excited you are switching doctors!!!! It was definitely time for a change!
@kellybean1988 does your raspberry leaf tea taste good? I got some on amazon a few months back and I feel like it had no flavor. Maybe it's supposed to taste that way!
@teamginger13 cheer up! I hope your ultrasound goes well!
@kiwielopingbride sometimes when I'm a little stressed and need to take a break, I open the app called Calm and do a little meditation. It seems to help me a lot!
@Dilynne you're not alone in determining ovulation. Most of us don't know it's happened until after the fact with a temp rise. Feel free to hang out here as long as you need to!
@clover28 I love how your puppies are laying together! Too cute!
@beff12 *hugs* I can't even handle how cute Milo is in that picture!!!
@britters314 I hope you enjoy your time off!! Our College is open the entire week but I am taking Friday off!
@Businesswife I have missed seeing you and your puppies!! FX this is your month! It looks like we may finally be in the TWW together!
@Marley629 we are cycle buddies! I got a + OPK today, too!
@MrsRoss89 I am obsessed with Shelby and Brooklyn!!
@LadyMillil I'm so sorry you are back over here. I was keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you!! I hope you get some answers from your RE.
@furbabymom2007 OMG the costumes are adorable! I hope you get good news at the doctor on Thursday. For what it's worth, I wouldn't have waited until Friday, either!
@RatsPJ I don't throw away the handle. Are you supposed to once you ovulate?? I keep them and just grab one when I needed it. Now I'm worried!

But at least I had a pretty good temp rise this morning. Since my OPK was almost positive the night of CD15, I'm guessing I probably ovulated late last night. Hoping for more high temps and some CH soon.

R/R/CS: I've thought about skipping both opk's and temping this month and just relaxing and hio during when ff thinks my fertile window should be. I know it decreases my chances but like I said I'm tired. Stressed. I need to take my mind off some things temporarily. We'll see how I feel after AF is gone.

R/R/CS: AF is gone woo hoo! Thanks for the hugs/support yesterday. Was just having an all around down day. I feel better today. I woke up on time to temp so all around good stuff.
GTKY: we have two kitties and a puppy. Oh and H has frogs. lets see if I can put a pic in here *newb alert. From several years ago at least this point. Excuse the mess we had just gotten back from a trip. Sorry if it's huge I'm on mobile
@nwegman7878 woah 8 days in a row! Nice going! Makes me sore just thinking about that haha.
@jedially85 hope AF moves out quickly! I was totally thinking about all the pros of a Christmas baby the other day!
@jenmlangtake2 cute pic! So sweet they're snuggling. I wish my cats would do that but they actually do hate each other haha.
@nwegman7878 I love that episode of Futurama! It's so funny!
@JediAlly85 Fx AF gets her butt in gear and leaves. For you and me both lol.

WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, BBT. I finally tracked down Raspberry Leaf Tea at a tiny health and wellness store. DH is picking it up for me after work. Wooo!

GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture.
This is my kitty Jezzy (Jezebel). But she only will respond too keycat because that's pretty much all I ever call her. She's a total diva. (Sorry about the big space at the end, no idea how to fix it!)
This is our rottie Charlie. She's a lova and also a fighter lol.
@nwegman7878 hope you and H enjoy your well-deserved break! FX for confirmed O soon.
@jenmlangtake2 Take a break if you need to for your mental sanity! I gave up doing OPKs and now don't set an alarm to temp--just do it when I wake up. It's not perfect, but I still see a temp shift.
@SandwichLover Sayonara AF!!!

@JediAlly85 Yay for Christmas babies! F off AF! I love Murphy!
@jenmlangtake2 I was thinking of taking a break from it too. I just couldn’t tear myself away though. The wondering would kill me. I wish I had your will power! My puppies name is Gunner too.

These two are Much (Schnauzer) and Bear (grey cat). They were huddled around our space heater after our heat went out.
And this angel is my baby, Brian. He's been living with my parents, because my mom loves to have him around when my dad is working late. Love this little guy.
@nwegman7878 The most we ever did was 7 days in a row, so I know how you feel. Good for you girl! Now enjoy your much deserved break. Also, I have a soft spot for huskies and yours is adorable!
@JediAlly85 Glad to hear you are starting to feel better! Love your dogs name.
@jenmlangtake2 I took a break one cycle and it felt amazing.
@SandwichLover So glad you are feeling better today! That is so cool that your husband has frogs! You should post a pic of them too.
@felix08 Your puppies are so cute! I love their little squishy faces. haha
@kfair001 Working out always makes me feel better too, enjoy your drinks tonight!

R/R/CS: Question--for some weird reason I decided to use both CBAD and CBD OPKs this cycle. I've always used CBD in the past, but thought I would spice things up and try the CBAD as well. Anyway, this morning I goet a positive CBD but only a high (flashing smiley) CBAD. Has anyone had two different types of test give different readings? I know that a high on a CBAD still means I'm fertile, but I was really hoping both would line up. Any thoughts? Either way, I'm super happy I got a + on the CBD because last cycle I never got a +!!!!

Comet, our moody teenager. He doesn't like anyone but me. Also, his favourite hangout is plastic bags. (Don't worry, we put them away so he's not playing unsupervised)
Miss Minnie, our mama cat who makes sure everyone feels cuddled and loved and not sad all the time.

R/R/CS: I feel kind of defeated after not being pregnant last month. I know that trying for two months and still not being KU is totally normal and there's nothing wrong with us, I just really want to be pregnant. All I can think about is how I would be seven months pregnant now if we hadn't had a miscarriage. I shouldn't be having to temp or pee on sticks or have periods or any of that. It just seems so messed up. Blah.
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture. I love this GTKY! So many precious fur babies. This is Milo. We rescued him in October of 2013. His previous owner hadn't even named him - just dropped him and an older female golden off at the shelter because he didn't want them anymore The female was apparently the perfect dog and immediately picked up by a golden retriever rescue, but Milo was shy and left at the shelter. I guess they were worried that no one would want him? Either way, we got him home and he immediately fell in love with us and we fell in love with him and he has been the best pet we could ever ask for! (Also, his previous owner can suck it - we got a full-blooded golden for $85 thanks to him!!)

This is Brooklyn. She is the rowdy little 1.5 year old in our family. She's a bratt and likes to destroy our house but we still love her
Here is a more recent picture of them since obviously the ones I previously posted are puppy pictures... but they were just the cutest puppies ever (in my opinion of course)
BFP #1 April 12, 2017 EDD December 19, 2017
OMG ALL THE FURBABIES!!!!!!!! So cute!!!!!
I have to post, because Raider is an attention whore and wants me to post pictures of him. He's a 2 and a half year old Mini Schnauzer/Shih-Tzu/Yorkie and is 18 lbs. He loves to eat and rip apart tennis balls strangely enough. And snuggling. He is always in your lap if you're sitting.
Yes, he rides in a booster seat in the truck. Gotta be safe.

R/R/CS:
flashing smiley on adv OPK today... That was surprising..
The doc FINALLY called me back (well, one of the nurses did). Apparently I was supposed to have schedule a follow up appointment (would been nice if someone had told me that). So appointment is made for Thursday. They said they would call if there is no reason for DH to come... So I guess if they don't call then that means there is an issue with his SA . Ugh
i should schedule the appointment for Friday when we don't have work but I don't want to wait another freaking day.
GTKY - Show me your pets.
this is my Emmett. He is a 6 year old lab mix (about 60 lbs)
and this is my Ellie. She is an 11 month old corgi/ daschound mix (we think) (about 20 lbs)
@nwegman7878 I don't know how you did it!
@thefarmerswife0411 have you ever tried almond milk? Vanilla almond milk is great in coffee and cereal, and chocolate almond milk is great for drinking
Month/cycle: 4/3
CD: 28
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, OPK, CM, HIO EOD/ED
R/R/CS:
Rave: I genuinely thought this was going to be an anovulatory cycle, however I got (another) positive OPK last night and based on previous cycles the timing *might* make sense! Unfortunately we were both WAY too exhausted to HIO last night, so we opted for morning BD instead. Really hoping to see a temp shift soon.
Rant: I ended up picking up CBD OPKs, and does anyone else think it's a waste to throw away the handle when you haven't used all the strips yet? I wish there was a way to reset the handle so you can finish out the box. These things aren't cheap, I hate to waste them!
GTKY - Show me your pets. If you don't have any of your own, post your favorite animal gif/picture.
So many cute furkids out there! I've got my furkids all over facebook, so instead here's an homage to an old friend of mine
Month/cycle: 2/3
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: everything. all of it.
R/R/CS:
This is how I feel about this cycle right now:
Negative OPK. Low temp.....blah blah blah. Still waiting for O or AF.

This is my pup...his name is Wilson. He's a jack russel/shar pei/pug cross. H'es really smart and very strange....and he is the worst shedding dog I have ever seen.

@PepperAT my childood dog growing up was a mini schnauzer...I love them! such sweet dogs
@beff12 I feel the same. Why do I have to do all this temping and POAS and shit and everyone else I know just has sex and gets pregnant whenever they want? Sorry for your loss. Also, your furbaby is super sweet

WAYDTGKU: pnvs, temping
R/R/CS: I had another slight temp raise this morning... one more and I get crosshairs. My temps seem low to be post-o (but still CH eligible) is this indicative of a problem?

@nwegman7878 your picture made me laugh out loud at my desk. YAY for a temp rise!
@JediAlly85 I love how Murphy is practically smiling in his picture. Sooo cute!
@jenmlangtake2 You have to do what's best for you. For what it's worth, FF predicted my fertile week to be CD18-CD22. However, my fertile CM began on CD 9 and I'm on CD 13 and have a positive OPK. If I would have listened to FF, I would have missed my fertile week. The other option would be to HIO every other day the entire cycle, which might be less stressful!
@sandwichlover I'm so happy to hear you are feeling better today!!!
@mrsdaddario I hope you get good news from the OBGYN about not being able to do the glucose test yesterday. I don't see how that could mess up your other testing--I would think that could be done at any time.
@felix08 YAY for the temp rise! I hope you get a few more to confirm O and can move to the TWW!
@kfair001 OMG I just want to squeeze your puppies!! So cute!!
@Zoey1019 I hope you stay on your 31 day cycle too! I have a good feeling about this cycle for you since you're ultra fertile
@mokay19 Jasmine is so cute! I hope your body starts to do something soon so you can move out of WTO!
@thefarmerswife0411 I'm so sorry about the dairy intolerance. Hopefully your body gets used to dairy again and you can enjoy all the cheese!
@pepperAT We have two havanese as well!! I just love the breed!!
@Berkebaby I'm so happy you are finally getting your testing done and will get some answers. I'm also excited you are switching doctors!!!! It was definitely time for a change!
@kellybean1988 does your raspberry leaf tea taste good? I got some on amazon a few months back and I feel like it had no flavor. Maybe it's supposed to taste that way!
@teamginger13 cheer up! I hope your ultrasound goes well!
@whiska I LOVE that video!!!
@kiwielopingbride sometimes when I'm a little stressed and need to take a break, I open the app called Calm and do a little meditation. It seems to help me a lot!
@2OT your puppy is smiling and it's soooo cute!
@Dilynne you're not alone in determining ovulation. Most of us don't know it's happened until after the fact with a temp rise. Feel free to hang out here as long as you need to!
@clover28 I love how your puppies are laying together! Too cute!
@beff12 *hugs* I can't even handle how cute Milo is in that picture!!!
@britters314 I hope you enjoy your time off!! Our College is open the entire week but I am taking Friday off!
@Businesswife I have missed seeing you and your puppies!! FX this is your month! It looks like we may finally be in the TWW together!
@Marley629 we are cycle buddies! I got a + OPK today, too!
@MrsRoss89 I am obsessed with Shelby and Brooklyn!!
@LadyMillil I'm so sorry you are back over here. I was keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you!! I hope you get some answers from your RE.
@furbabymom2007 OMG the costumes are adorable! I hope you get good news at the doctor on Thursday. For what it's worth, I wouldn't have waited until Friday, either!
@RatsPJ I don't throw away the handle. Are you supposed to once you ovulate?? I keep them and just grab one when I needed it. Now I'm worried!
@vintageandrea90 I hope something happens with your cycle soon to make it a little more exciting!
