WAYDTGKU: Just chugging through this boring part of a cycle
R/R/CS: There really isn't a lot to say right now ... temps are currently steady....I am wondering when I might need to replace my mabis?
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember?
Oh we've had fun with this in the office this morning. Someone stuck a sign up near the door swipy card machine saying you need to say your name into it now. Hehehe
We also unplugged my colleagues mouse and handset receiver...while he was huffing that his mouse wasn't working we called him and he picked up the receiver more aggressively than usual and the unplugged end whipped him round the head....
R/R/CS: I have my acupuncture appt next Saturday and I'm wishing it was tomorrow. But I have a lunch get together with college friends so I'm super excited about that. Two of the friends had babies at the beginning of February so I get to meet the new squishes.
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? I worked retail for many years through college and afterwards. Every day they would have an online employees news section that contained relevant news or updates. They would always do these absolutely hilarious fake news articles on April Fools day. If you worked in one of the departments, you would get a leather jacket on your 5th anniversary. It was something people were always really excited about so it was a big deal. They had an April Fools article about how they were changing the leather jacket anniversary gift to leather pants based on employee feedback.

WAYDTGKU: Waiting for FW, temping, and trying out OPKs.
R/R/CS: I just wish my ovaries ovulated on a normal CD14 instead of somewhere around CD20. I hate waiting a whole extra week every month.
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? I frequently look up Youtube videos of pregnancy pranks gone wrong, where the girls prank their SO with a fake pee stick but then they take one themselves expecting it to be a BFN, and it's a BFP.
*TW for video about showing a BFP* Remove the space before the word "youtube" in order to view.
WAYDTGKU: Clomid round 3 + trigger + TI, decided I'm going to temp after all just because, so I started that back up this morning.
R/R/CS: Feeling pretty good about everything today. The worst of an awful AF seems to be over, it's Friday, BASEBALL OPENING DAY IS HAPPENING THIS WEEKEND, and I'm taking Monday off. No complaints!
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? Haha, this is a great question. I don't have a good answer, apparently I'm boring and so are all of my coworkers, but I can tell these are going to be fun to read just based on @babymish and @Megzb510 's stories so far.
DS: June 2008 Married: July 2015 BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
I'm back, guys! And I must say, I am super impressed with the new siggy theme you ladies picked this month. Let's move on from March 2016 and never look back!
Month/cycle: 6/6 (I hate that it's been half a year, even though I know it's not that bad compared to many others) CD: 9 I guess...I HARDLY had a period (based on my Q&A in the TWW last week, I would call it spotting, but because it never turned into a full AF, I'm calling it CD1 even though I didn't need a tampon...I feel like I reallly need to start temping so I stop with all this wishy washy subjectivity I've been starting) - also to follow up from yesterday's UO (I lurked everywhere to get caught up waiting for the Friday WTO to be posted!) I am apparently super weird because I hate pads with a passion (only wear them at night because I like sleep more than waking up to change a tampon after 6-8 hours) and I use a tampon with a pantiliner as backup (I've never leaked, but it gives me peace of mind) which are apparently the two most hated feminine products on this site! haha
WAYDTGKU: sex starts today (see RRCS for why we haven't started yet)- goal of EOD/max two days in a row...last month I think we overdid it (ED except for 3 AF days and 3 or 4 other days, none back to back, until CD20). It was fun and we got into it with each other, but: *TMI* DH was producing way less near the end *end of TMI*
R/R/CS: my bff left today and I got strep throat the day after she came....so I was actually quite thankful to not be KU last cycle because I went on antibiotics without worry and the antibiotics saved our week!

R/R/CS: **Long Rant** I am miserable today. This bleeding is pissing me off. I had the Provera AF for 8 days, then I was blood free for 5 days, then the hsg. Now I've been bleeding again since Tuesday. I feel like I'm just on one giant period. I googled "can an hsg cause a period?" too many times last night. (Apparently the answer is no.) Which is now really freaking me out because I'm bleeding like I have AF, not spotting like they kept saying would happen. I'm a paranoid person by nature, always assuming the worst, so right now I feel like I've lost TOO much blood. I'll probably die from blood loss, and with my luck it'll be on the toilet clutching a pad. And then I'll end up like Mama Cass and a huge rumor will spread about how I died. (If you don't know who Mama Cass is, look it up. Ham Sandwich.) Sorry if that sounds insensitive. I'm literally just so on edge because of this. And my SIL put a grocery bag of used baby clothes on my kitchen table yesterday, so I came home to that. To be honest though it didn't bother me, it was a really sweet gesture. But I'm starting to feel like....well I won't need those because it'll never happen for us. (Crazy, I know.) Can I just catch a break? My whole attitude would be so much better if I just STOPPED BLEEDING. End rant.
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? Every year our local pop radio station does an April Fool's "prank". It's always something ridiculous. This year their reporting that a grant has been issued in a neighboring town that will be used to build a casino with an attached daycare. Totally stupid, but people fall for it every time.
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT, CM & OPK. H is home in 2 days!
R/R/CS: Ok, now this is just getting creepy. My OPK listened again, another low today!! I need to buy it a present!
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? I am struggling to remember a good one. I pulled off many on my mom over the years as she is very gullible, but can't remember them! I know I pulled off the sink sprayer on her one year. I do remember being mad for falling for the typical crutches and cast prank when a friend did that in like 4th grade.
@mrsdaddario so sorry you're going through that! Hopefully the bleeding stops and you can ask your doctor about it to get some answers

R/R/CS: I got flashing smiley today! And yesterday and today I noticed ewcm. So glad we BD yesterday and today. If it is like last cycle then sometime this weekend I should get my peak opk. Love that it's falling on a weekend.
GTKY: Sits April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember?
I cant remember any good ones, but my friends at work played a pretty good prank on me once, I I had just started a promotion at work and a couple coworkers who were already in that department that were friends of mine decided the night before i came over they would switch around all the keys on my keyboard. And another guy in our dept had all his stuff glued to his desk one time. lol.
WAYDTGKU: BD when we can (see below), RL tea, PNV, CM, BBT
R/R/CS: Well, we didn't BD as scheduled last night. Hubby is a full time student and it's nearing the end of his semester, so he is stressed out with school stuff. Plus, he is currently taking a STUPID phys ed class (he was a new transfer student this spring and they are making him take it...he's 27 years old, people) and is currently in the running/jogging component. Um, hubby's not a runner, y'all. So he comes home sore and cranky as hell on MWF from his PE class, and is in no mood to BD. Last night I didn't even bother saying anything because he was going to be up till at least 3am with homework--oh well. I figure it's only CD13, so we still have time. He's gonna have to get over his PE class, crankiness, and soreness at some time to BD though; I refuse to be out this month because he is sore from a damn PE class!
Also, I'm going to dinner tonight with a bff from college--she's bringing her 4 month old. Baby shower tomorrow. ooooof, double whammy.
BUT IT'S FRIDAY, HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? Our university student newspaper does an "April Fools Day" edition each year around this time. It's hilarious to see prospective students and their parents read it when they have no clue it's a fake edition--especially because it is always pretty raunchy!!!
R/R/CS: HOOOOOWWWWWW am I still here? Typical O day for me has been 19-20. Last cycle was 24. I think o may have been yesterday or today based on other symptoms.
Moon a non-ttc note, my aunt and her friends left this morning after an 8 day trip. I am exhausted. I've done absolutely nothing al day. I played tour guide the whole trip which was fun but ready to be back in routine. I've missed you all. I wasn't even really able to lurk so I hope everyone is well!
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? Nothing really. I don't really like pranks. Some are alright.

R/R/CS: Today should be my last day of AF. I usually don't go more than 5 days unless I've been eating terribly and not really taking care of myself... Ready for this to be over so we can start trying again!
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? I really don't remember any that jump out to me. I lead a pretty boring life.

R/R/CS: DH is out of town which means I slept on the couch and with a lighter blanket so I was really cold when I woke up this morning, which was reflected in my temp I still think I o'd two days ago because I had what I think was mittelschmerz on the right. The timing lines up with the +opk anyway.

R/R/CS: I'm really thankful this month that AF has been so kind. It's been one of the lightest AFs I've ever had. I was really nervous during the last TWW because I was having cramps that I was in for a world of endo pain (never been DXed but it apparently runs in my family and when I had genetic testing done a couple of years ago it said I was 11x at higher risk for it than most women). But nope. AF is being super gentle, so I'll take it!
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember?
I generally don't AF jokes funny but my favorite is one I did with a friend. I used to be one of the lead engineers for the giant online art community, DeviantArt. I think it was 2011... anyway, the front page of DA is just a giant set of thumbnails of art that users have uploaded. So we changed it so whenever you visited, it was just dozens of the same photo of Rebecca Black (of "It's Friday" fame) spinning around in circles. The background of the page was also her. And there was a video of her song too somewhere on the page. It was pretty awful. Oh, and we made this something that ONLY staff saw, so naturally all 100-something employees who visited the site that morning freaked the hell out because they thought it was an unplanned AF prank that was hitting millions of users. Head of marketing almost had a heart attack.
R/R/CS: Well it's CD 1 for me! Hurry up and leave, AF!
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? A few years ago, the IT guy at my office changed the screen on our printer / copy machine to say "BOSS NAME feed me some cheese." It was hilarious. Boss was so freaked out.

@babymish we are CD twins, and I’m right there with you in
this boring part of the cycle. In a way, I like it because I usually have the
most hope at this point. Then I start getting nervous about timing and O’ing
and all that fun stuff.
@Megzb510 that leather pants thing is still cracking me up!
@PaulMeKiande I watched that video and I felt so bad for the
husband! He was so excited when he thought she was pregnant. I guess it all worked
out since she turned out to be anyway, but what a cruel joke.
@Buthayna welcome back! I agree that maybe you should give
temping a try if you’re thinking about it, in the beginning it can be a little
nerve wracking, but I couldn’t imagine not doing it now.
@mrsdaddario so sorry about the bleeding. Has your doc said
that it’s still considered normal? I hope it stops for you soon and you feel
better.
@houseofsetters I agree this first week is just so boring,
but like I said above, I’m just trying to enjoy this time when I still have
hope and I’m not a nervous wreck about everything, haha.
@kellybean1988 hope your husband can suck it up for some BD.
I would not be happy if I had to take a PE class at this point, haha.
@sarah0985 hey girl! I was wondering where you had been,
forgot you were having visitors. Welcome back! I am going to check out that
podcast for sure. We’ve been watching a lot of MLB network and Intentional Talk
is on there, too, so I’m guessing it must be the same guys. I can listen to the
podcast at work though so that’s perfect.
@viabug now I’m looking around my gmail page to see what
they’ve done. I don’t see anything… yet. But I’ll have to keep my eye on it
today, haha.
@aliciabhen I love shopping for baby showers! Hope you have
fun!
@thj101 Yay for AF being done! I didn’t realize that diet
and habits could make AF longer. Mine has been terrible this month, and last
month it wasn’t terrible but it was LONG. I wonder if it’s because I 100% fell
off the healthy lifestyle wagon.
@whiska Fx you can confirm O soon! That kitten ad is so
cute!

R/R/CS: Yesterday, I received invites to a 1st birthday party and a baby shower. Ugh. I'm really excited for the first birthday party b/c it's for the son of one of my best friends and he's the cutest little thing alive...but, this baby shower was a happy surprise baby a month before they were planning on TTC, so that's just so annoying. /end rant. In other news, I still have t-rex arms today.

@SLDP123 I'm not sure if that really has been proven to have an effect on it, but I have read a couple of articles that says that it does, and I usually experience longer, worse periods, if I've been eating junk and not being active and stuff like that.

@sldp123 When I initially talked to the nurse through their online portal, explaining what was happening, she responded with "spotting is normal after an hsg." Which irritated me because I didn't say I was spotting, I said I had AF like F/clots. Which was exactly what the nurse at the imaging center had told me to report if I experienced. So I replied again telling her what was happening, then she called and said the doctor was giving me an antibiotic to prevent an infection. She said nothing about how long it should last/when to seek more help from the doctor. I wish I had thought to ask that before I hung up with her. From what I can collect from Dr Google, I'm assuming a blood vessel was nicked, and therefore is the source of the bleeding, because I don't have any pain that would indicate a more severe problem. I think I just have to wait it out. I'm just impatient to get the show back on the road. As is DH, because 20 days no BD is apparently the end of the world for him. Thanks for the concern!
@viabug Oooh yeah, I
will have to check gmail too! Good reminder!
@aliciabhen Looks
like we’re both going to a baby shower tomorrow! I actually had fun purchasing
things for this too. Hoping we’ll both be able to throw our own baby showers
soon!
@thj101 I also eat
all the things when on AF. I just feel ravenous! Glad it’s leaving soon though!
CD: 2... yesterday quickly turned from spotting to CD 1 unexpectedly while working the late shift.
WAYDTGKU: nothing right now.
R/R/CS: TGIF. This morning when my alarm went off I thought it was Saturday, so I turned it off and rolled over. Thank goodness DH asked me when I planned on getting out of bed and knocked some sense into me. I want this day to be over and then I am drinking all the wine tonight! Also, my next FW lands during our vacation, so I am pretty excited about that.
Have to jet off to work now, hope everyone has a great Friday!
GTKY: I can't think of any good April Fools jokes that happened, but I love reading all yours. Our families funny April Fools happened this time last year. My SIL was told she would have to deliver her baby that day, a month earlier than her expected due date and as she called around to let people know it was happening no one believed her so she ended up sitting in her car crying until someone took her seriously. It makes for a good story now.
@babymish Your office sounds like more fun than mine!
@megzb510 I've been feeling so much jealousy / sadness lately over all my friends' "new squishes". I think it's wonderful that you are able to stay positive. Kudos to you!
@PaulMeKiande Thanks for the TW! All the April Fools pregnancy pranks kind of piss me off, haha. Maybe that's an UO? Not sure...
R/R/CS: Had a positive OPK yesterday! Woop woop. In other news, this means that the dreaded two week wait will be starting soon and I'm not excited about that. I've already had DH hide my wondfos in the anticipation of the coming "MUST PEE ON EVERYTHING" stage of my cycle
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? When I was in college, we loved pulling pranks on each other. My favorite was when we moved all of the furniture out of my good friend's apartment while she was in class haha. We worked with her roommate to get her exact schedule and she let us in while our friend was gone - we moved every single piece of furniture out of her bedroom and put it in another friend's house! She got home and immediately knew who did it and we got a pretty angry group text. By the time we got back to her she thought it was hilarious and of course we put it all back...I think she actually took that as an opportunity to rearrange, so it worked out
I also second @Lecool- everything that happens between Jim and Dwight!

GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? I've seen some good ones on different websites but none I can remember right now. I'm avoiding FB right now because I don't want to see any fake pregnancy announcements
@Buthayna I also dislike pads because they are not comfortable at all, though that’s what I always used because tampons are even worse lol. I recently switched to cloth pads and OMG they are so much better! I definitely recommend trying it, even for just overnight use. And it’s not like they’re gross to clean or anything - you just put them in the washer.
@sara0985 FX that you O’d and can move on to the TWW!
@wineo929 I actually think that’s a great April Fool’s prank lol
@LadyMillil Oh I didn’t even think about the possible fake pregnancy announcements! I’ll have to brace myself for that now..

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, CP, BD ED (well, that was the plan anyway..)
R/R/CS: My chart did an April Fool's prank on me. I had a temp spike and thought I might have O'd but it went down this morning. And now we have missed two days in a row of BD because H didn't want to one day and we didn't see each other at all the next day. This was the first time he got tired of all the BD. I'm glad I know from you all that it's perfectly normal for him to feel that way, though.
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? I don't really like pranks all that much. Once in college we saran wrapped the doorway of one of my roommates while she was sleeping, but it wasn't that exciting.
R/R/CS: The kids at my school are all going crazy this week! We've had six fights this week! Three of them yesterday alone! I don't want to be sexist or anything, but the fights have all been girls. Prom is next weekend, so I'm assuming that it's all due to boy issues. Someone's ex-boyfriend is going to the prom with someone else. Boo-freaking-hoo. We also only have 34 school days left, so I think everyone is freaking out about the end of the semester. We have a lot of low-income families we work with and I think a lot of the kids are worried about being home all summer. Is that weird? I had a student yesterday ask if he could fail my class so that he could take summer school because he didn't want to be home all summer break. I've been working with a lot of my ESL kids to get them into summer school for June and July school (July School is only for ESL kids) so that they can graduate on time. I don't even know what to do for the kids who have difficult home lives. The counseling department and I are working together, though, to get something in place to help them continue their English acquisition.
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? I used to work at a home for troubled teens. I worked in a house that had a rotation of 8 girls at a time. One or two girls would graduate, then a couple more would come in to take their place. I worked with a couple (Scott and Theresa) who were the head of the house and would be in charge of everything. Every April Fools' Day, Scott would get up at 5am in order to put a rubber band around the faucet. The girls who had been their longer would pick a newer girl to ask to start the water for oatmeal or coffee. New Girl would turn the faucet on and get water everywhere. Scott would pretend to get "angry" and she would have to clean up the water and then change to go to school. If she handled it well, New Girl would get a donut and get walked to school by school so that she wouldn't get in trouble. Scott would take the blame. When New Girl got home from school, she would get a a treat and some other kind of extra privilege. If New Girl freaked out and didn't handle it well, she usually ended up being grounded and having to do chores when she got home. Most of the time they would laugh and try to get Scott and the other girls wet, so we usually had to have lots of donuts for everyone. I miss that job sometimes, especially on days like today.

Also, if I have to see one more "I'm Pregnant!" pranks Facebook post, I may scream. I saw 5 women who posted a picture of a positive HPT, then wrote, "April Fools!" in the comments after a bunch of people responded. That cuts deep. Pregnancy is not a joke to me. There's so many of them, a different friend started a game of bingo for it...FML. I'm staying off Facebook the rest of the day...
@sldp123 yes! That's the one! I love Millar and Rose!!! Sorry @PepperAT always hard to find ourselves back here.

I should have thought about it - my sister did one a few years ago. Though she did make it so only a few people could see it because she was trying to prank one friend in particular.

GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember? I worked retail for many years through college and afterwards. Every day they would have an online employees news section that contained relevant news or updates. They would always do these absolutely hilarious fake news articles on April Fools day. If you worked in one of the departments, you would get a leather jacket on your 5th anniversary. It was something people were always really excited about so it was a big deal. They had an April Fools article about how they were changing the leather jacket anniversary gift to leather pants based on employee feedback.

Month/cycle: 6/6 (I hate that it's been half a year, even though I know it's not that bad compared to many others)
CD: 9 I guess...I HARDLY had a period (based on my Q&A in the TWW last week, I would call it spotting, but because it never turned into a full AF, I'm calling it CD1 even though I didn't need a tampon...I feel like I reallly need to start temping so I stop with all this wishy washy subjectivity I've been starting)
- also to follow up from yesterday's UO (I lurked everywhere to get caught up waiting for the Friday WTO to be posted!) I am apparently super weird because I hate pads with a passion (only wear them at night because I like sleep more than waking up to change a tampon after 6-8 hours) and I use a tampon with a pantiliner as backup (I've never leaked, but it gives me peace of mind) which are apparently the two most hated feminine products on this site! haha
WAYDTGKU: sex starts today (see RRCS for why we haven't started yet)- goal of EOD/max two days in a row...last month I think we overdid it (ED except for 3 AF days and 3 or 4 other days, none back to back, until CD20). It was fun and we got into it with each other, but:
*TMI* DH was producing way less near the end *end of TMI*
R/R/CS: my bff left today and I got strep throat the day after she came....so I was actually quite thankful to not be KU last cycle because I went on antibiotics without worry and the antibiotics saved our week!

R/R/CS: **Long Rant** I am miserable today. This bleeding is pissing me off. I had the Provera AF for 8 days, then I was blood free for 5 days, then the hsg. Now I've been bleeding again since Tuesday. I feel like I'm just on one giant period. I googled "can an hsg cause a period?" too many times last night. (Apparently the answer is no.) Which is now really freaking me out because I'm bleeding like I have AF, not spotting like they kept saying would happen. I'm a paranoid person by nature, always assuming the worst, so right now I feel like I've lost TOO much blood. I'll probably die from blood loss, and with my luck it'll be on the toilet clutching a pad. And then I'll end up like Mama Cass and a huge rumor will spread about how I died. (If you don't know who Mama Cass is, look it up. Ham Sandwich.) Sorry if that sounds insensitive. I'm literally just so on edge because of this. And my SIL put a grocery bag of used baby clothes on my kitchen table yesterday, so I came home to that. To be honest though it didn't bother me, it was a really sweet gesture. But I'm starting to feel like....well I won't need those because it'll never happen for us. (Crazy, I know.) Can I just catch a break? My whole attitude would be so much better if I just STOPPED BLEEDING. End rant.

Every year our local pop radio station does an April Fool's "prank". It's always something ridiculous. This year their reporting that a grant has been issued in a neighboring town that will be used to build a casino with an attached daycare. Totally stupid, but people fall for it every time.

WAYDTGKU: BD when we can (see below), RL tea, PNV, CM, BBT
R/R/CS: Well, we didn't BD as scheduled last night. Hubby is a full time student and it's nearing the end of his semester, so he is stressed out with school stuff. Plus, he is currently taking a STUPID phys ed class (he was a new transfer student this spring and they are making him take it...he's 27 years old, people) and is currently in the running/jogging component. Um, hubby's not a runner, y'all. So he comes home sore and cranky as hell on MWF from his PE class, and is in no mood to BD. Last night I didn't even bother saying anything because he was going to be up till at least 3am with homework--oh well. I figure it's only CD13, so we still have time. He's gonna have to get over his PE class, crankiness, and soreness at some time to BD though; I refuse to be out this month because he is sore from a damn PE class!
Also, I'm going to dinner tonight with a bff from college--she's bringing her 4 month old. Baby shower tomorrow. ooooof, double whammy.
BUT IT'S FRIDAY, HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

R/R/CS: I'm really thankful this month that AF has been so kind. It's been one of the lightest AFs I've ever had. I was really nervous during the last TWW because I was having cramps that I was in for a world of endo pain (never been DXed but it apparently runs in my family and when I had genetic testing done a couple of years ago it said I was 11x at higher risk for it than most women). But nope. AF is being super gentle, so I'll take it!
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember?
I generally don't AF jokes funny but my favorite is one I did with a friend. I used to be one of the lead engineers for the giant online art community, DeviantArt. I think it was 2011... anyway, the front page of DA is just a giant set of thumbnails of art that users have uploaded. So we changed it so whenever you visited, it was just dozens of the same photo of Rebecca Black (of "It's Friday" fame) spinning around in circles. The background of the page was also her. And there was a video of her song too somewhere on the page. It was pretty awful. Oh, and we made this something that ONLY staff saw, so naturally all 100-something employees who visited the site that morning freaked the hell out because they thought it was an unplanned AF prank that was hitting millions of users. Head of marketing almost had a heart attack.

@babymish we are CD twins, and I’m right there with you in this boring part of the cycle. In a way, I like it because I usually have the most hope at this point. Then I start getting nervous about timing and O’ing and all that fun stuff.
@Megzb510 that leather pants thing is still cracking me up!
@PaulMeKiande I watched that video and I felt so bad for the husband! He was so excited when he thought she was pregnant. I guess it all worked out since she turned out to be anyway, but what a cruel joke.
@Buthayna welcome back! I agree that maybe you should give temping a try if you’re thinking about it, in the beginning it can be a little nerve wracking, but I couldn’t imagine not doing it now.
@mrsdaddario so sorry about the bleeding. Has your doc said that it’s still considered normal? I hope it stops for you soon and you feel better.
@Sparty18 glad your OPK is still listening!
@houseofsetters I agree this first week is just so boring, but like I said above, I’m just trying to enjoy this time when I still have hope and I’m not a nervous wreck about everything, haha.
@JediAlly85 fx for O soon and good timing!
@kellybean1988 hope your husband can suck it up for some BD. I would not be happy if I had to take a PE class at this point, haha.
@sarah0985 hey girl! I was wondering where you had been, forgot you were having visitors. Welcome back! I am going to check out that podcast for sure. We’ve been watching a lot of MLB network and Intentional Talk is on there, too, so I’m guessing it must be the same guys. I can listen to the podcast at work though so that’s perfect.
@viabug now I’m looking around my gmail page to see what they’ve done. I don’t see anything… yet. But I’ll have to keep my eye on it today, haha.
@aliciabhen I love shopping for baby showers! Hope you have fun!
@thj101 Yay for AF being done! I didn’t realize that diet and habits could make AF longer. Mine has been terrible this month, and last month it wasn’t terrible but it was LONG. I wonder if it’s because I 100% fell off the healthy lifestyle wagon.

WAYDTGKU: nothing right now.
R/R/CS: TGIF. This morning when my alarm went off I thought it was Saturday, so I turned it off and rolled over. Thank goodness DH asked me when I planned on getting out of bed and knocked some sense into me.
I want this day to be over and then I am drinking all the wine tonight!
Also, my next FW lands during our vacation, so I am pretty excited about that.
Have to jet off to work now, hope everyone has a great Friday!
GTKY: I can't think of any good April Fools jokes that happened, but I love reading all yours. Our families funny April Fools happened this time last year. My SIL was told she would have to deliver her baby that day, a month earlier than her expected due date and as she called around to let people know it was happening no one believed her so she ended up sitting in her car crying until someone took her seriously. It makes for a good story now.

@megzb510 I've been feeling so much jealousy / sadness lately over all my friends' "new squishes". I think it's wonderful that you are able to stay positive. Kudos to you!
@PaulMeKiande Thanks for the TW! All the April Fools pregnancy pranks kind of piss me off, haha. Maybe that's an UO? Not sure...
@sldp123 Yay for opening day!
@Buthayna Fingers crossed temping helps with your AF uncertainty!
@mrsdaddario I'm so sorry you are dealing with all that bleeding. On a positive note, your Mama Cass comment made me snort coffee out of my nose
@sparty18 You have super awesome OPK powers. Use them carefully!
@houseofsetters It's Friiiiiday! (See Rebecca Black / @canavara 's GTKY hehe)
@JediAlly85 Fingers crossed for you this weekend!
@kellybean1988 Love that gif!
@sarah0985 Hope you get some R&R. Being a tour guide is no joke!
@aliciabhen I love the idea of "for practice". Gonna use that one!
@whiska That REI Kitten is so cute!! Uch, I can't take it!
@Zoey1019 That wine club sounds fun!
@Lecool Jim & Dwight are the best. I love the one where they dress up and act like each other.
@juliebeannn I'm sorry about the baby shower. I totally understand how you feel.
Month/cycle: 3/3

WAYDTGKU: all of the sex (ouch), charting, OPKs
R/R/CS: Had a positive OPK yesterday! Woop woop. In other news, this means that the dreaded two week wait will be starting soon and I'm not excited about that. I've already had DH hide my wondfos in the anticipation of the coming "MUST PEE ON EVERYTHING" stage of my cycle
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember?
When I was in college, we loved pulling pranks on each other. My favorite was when we moved all of the furniture out of my good friend's apartment while she was in class haha. We worked with her roommate to get her exact schedule and she let us in while our friend was gone - we moved every single piece of furniture out of her bedroom and put it in another friend's house! She got home and immediately knew who did it and we got a pretty angry group text. By the time we got back to her she thought it was hilarious and of course we put it all back...I think she actually took that as an opportunity to rearrange, so it worked out
I also second @Lecool - everything that happens between Jim and Dwight!

R/R/CS: nada for today!
GTKY: Guys, I am so so uncreative. The worst thing I've done was stick a piece of chalk into an eraser and ask of of my students to erase the board...
@Buthayna I also dislike pads because they are not comfortable at all, though that’s what I always used because tampons are even worse lol. I recently switched to cloth pads and OMG they are so much better! I definitely recommend trying it, even for just overnight use. And it’s not like they’re gross to clean or anything - you just put them in the washer.
@sara0985 FX that you O’d and can move on to the TWW!
@wineo929 I actually think that’s a great April Fool’s prank lol
@LadyMillil Oh I didn’t even think about the possible fake pregnancy announcements! I’ll have to brace myself for that now..Month/cycle: 7/8
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, CP, BD ED (well, that was the plan anyway..)
R/R/CS: My chart did an April Fool's prank on me. I had a temp spike and thought I might have O'd but it went down this morning. And now we have missed two days in a row of BD because H didn't want to one day and we didn't see each other at all the next day. This was the first time he got tired of all the BD. I'm glad I know from you all that it's perfectly normal for him to feel that way, though.
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember?
I don't really like pranks all that much. Once in college we saran wrapped the doorway of one of my roommates while she was sleeping, but it wasn't that exciting.
Month/cycle: 8/7

WAYDTGKU: PNV, diet, exercise, and BD EOD
R/R/CS: The kids at my school are all going crazy this week! We've had six fights this week! Three of them yesterday alone! I don't want to be sexist or anything, but the fights have all been girls. Prom is next weekend, so I'm assuming that it's all due to boy issues. Someone's ex-boyfriend is going to the prom with someone else. Boo-freaking-hoo. We also only have 34 school days left, so I think everyone is freaking out about the end of the semester. We have a lot of low-income families we work with and I think a lot of the kids are worried about being home all summer. Is that weird? I had a student yesterday ask if he could fail my class so that he could take summer school because he didn't want to be home all summer break. I've been working with a lot of my ESL kids to get them into summer school for June and July school (July School is only for ESL kids) so that they can graduate on time. I don't even know what to do for the kids who have difficult home lives. The counseling department and I are working together, though, to get something in place to help them continue their English acquisition.
GTKY: Since its April Fools day, what was the best prank or funniest fake news story that you remember?
I used to work at a home for troubled teens. I worked in a house that had a rotation of 8 girls at a time. One or two girls would graduate, then a couple more would come in to take their place. I worked with a couple (Scott and Theresa) who were the head of the house and would be in charge of everything. Every April Fools' Day, Scott would get up at 5am in order to put a rubber band around the faucet. The girls who had been their longer would pick a newer girl to ask to start the water for oatmeal or coffee. New Girl would turn the faucet on and get water everywhere. Scott would pretend to get "angry" and she would have to clean up the water and then change to go to school. If she handled it well, New Girl would get a donut and get walked to school by school so that she wouldn't get in trouble. Scott would take the blame. When New Girl got home from school, she would get a a treat and some other kind of extra privilege. If New Girl freaked out and didn't handle it well, she usually ended up being grounded and having to do chores when she got home. Most of the time they would laugh and try to get Scott and the other girls wet, so we usually had to have lots of donuts for everyone. I miss that job sometimes, especially on days like today.

Also, if I have to see one more "I'm Pregnant!" pranks Facebook post, I may scream. I saw 5 women who posted a picture of a positive HPT, then wrote, "April Fools!" in the comments after a bunch of people responded. That cuts deep. Pregnancy is not a joke to me. There's so many of them, a different friend started a game of bingo for it...FML. I'm staying off Facebook the rest of the day...
Sorry @PepperAT always hard to find ourselves back here.
@berkebaby this time of the year is hard! So ready for the end!!!
and yes about the fb posts. I never understood them before all this ttc crap anyway. I never found them funny.
You are obviously my soul mate. A supernatural gif AND the Doctor Who coloring book? I just.
Also, why in the hell are fake pregnancy announcements an April Fools thing?? I'm with @britters314 , I didn't even think about that!!! So not funny.
