@pretzel2plus1 As someone who just lip-syncs whenever I'm supposed to be part of a group singing "Happy Birthday", I feel you. But singing in the car just feels so good! @wineo929 We're DPO buddies! Your H is a really good person to do that. Please tell me he's hourly... Hope you have a great conference. FX for Saturday! @Daisy621 That is an excellent car song! @leekat14 What the heck do you do where summer is so crazy? It sucks to have a job where summer is the busy season. Mine isn't so many hours in a day but it's somewhat expected that we don't take vacation during most of it. But then again, I also firmly believe in only taking tropical vacations in winter. Why would I leave here just when it got nice? @mrsdaddario I would have classified them as disgusting just based on delivery method. Then you add the PMS effects. Here's to you and all that you're doing! @SongbirdintheCity Happy karaoke tomorrow! @LadyBrettAshley23 Glad to hear that you've been able to focus on other things and it's making you feel better. @sammajane19 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Enjoy the heck out of 29! And what @BusinessWife said. I was really bummed about my 30th but I was wrong. It really is okay. @Sugargirl1019 Sorry that you're feeling like you're out. I wouldn't let the lack of symptoms you had before make you feel cruddy today, though. For one thing, only 7 DPO and each one is different. FX to you and your friend! Sorry that TB ate your post. @SnobunnieMel All these songs that I forgot about! Good one! @TheJerilu That's terrible about the karaoke. They need better karaoke people that will make it more equitable. For one thing, the kind of people that show up hours early to fill the whole thing sound pretty insufferable. Ick. @MrsDramaK So many "wait, whut?"s! 19DPO to test? Haha. No. You're in the 96s post-O? Bodies are so different! 96s are rare for me and it's common for me to be over 98 during TWW. That's an excellent karaoke song. And that gif! It's perfect! @Schumerator Hooray for a lengthening LP! Fancy is an excellent song! Another that I forgot. @juliebeannn Hello DPO buddy! I had a big temp drop (half-degree) this morning, too, and my reaction was just to be incredulous and bummed out about it. I like the way you think much better!! @FrancesGrace630 I hope you can figure out why you're sleeping poorly and it gets better! @clover28 I can't speak for everyone but I'm not sick of hearing about boards. They're all-consuming and kind of a big deal. FX for tomorrow. Wear your favorite underpants that make you feel fancy and as my dad always says, "Don't look at the dogs, pick the lock." It's from a movie and means, don't focus on the threat, just focus on the task at hand. You've been studying your buns off for this. You've got this!! @RedBreast35 I'm with you on the case of the Mondays. I stayed in bed way too long this morning whining about being a Toys-R-Us kid, before kind of just rolling out and complaining all the way. @TPup Glad you started the OPKs and that your timing was good because of that! @LittleChick2 Hope your day goes smoothly or at least quickly. @Buthayna Don't worry about testing tomorrow. Just look at it as confirming that you're good to drink. 11 DPO is still pretty dang early to be accurate. @Wannabeamilf So many DPO buddies! @virginiaham Yay for the side effects being better! @stephy_p That's an excellent song. And now so ironic. @whiska Internet hugs to you. @Aurora1973 After you cockpunch that person, then he has to go about his daily life pretending that everything is a-okay and he doesn't feel awful. That's always the icing for me with cramps--having to go to work and try to act totally normal when I'm having a hard time concentrating on what someone is saying because I feel so awful. If you can talk your work into an adjustable desk, I do find that I enjoy adjusting it to be lower than normal sitting height so I can be in a sort of upright fetal position. @beary67 Yes! Friends in Low Places is an excellent one!

@kiki75 thanks for the encouragement I have been trying to convince myself of that too...hearing someone else say it's still early is helpful too though
TTGP history (*TW*):
Started TTC Oct 2015 BFP #1 June 2016: EDD 16 March 2017, MC July 2016 Re-started TTC Aug 2016 Started IF testing Nov 2016 Spontaneous BFP #2 January 2017: Rainbow Baby Boy September 2017 BFP #3 November 2018: Baby #2 expected August 2019
@Kiki75 I just want to jump through my computer and give you a hug. Thank you so much for the encouragement and positive thinking!! Also thank you for not being sick of me talking about my upcoming boards every damn day!
Month/cycle: 7/6 and just sooooo excited to turn the corner on month 8 tomorrow.
CD/DPO: 26/5 (possibly but not likely 26/8)
Timing: -4 through O (or -4, -1, O, +1 if I'm 26/8)
Testing: Tomorrow because I have a well-woman visit with a new OB/GYN and then I'd love to say I'll hold out for AF but realistically I'll pee on things every day after that because IDGAF.
R/R/CS: Still not 100% clear on my CH due to some conflicting information. CM says I'm 5DPO, chart overlay suggests 8DPO, and the difference in my CH depends on whether I enter a positive OPK for CD18:
<-- +OPK at CD18
<-- -OPK at CD18
I'm currently calling myself 5DPO in an attempt to keep the BSC at bay for as long as possible. I'm not stressing that much about it... I figure I'll eventually find out which is right, no matter how things go. Timing was pretty good either way, but I'm also feeling pretty confident that this is not my month for a BFP. There's no reason why I should think that. It's just a feeling I have.
GTKY: What is your go to karaoke song? If you are not into karaoke, what's the one song you MUST sing to if you hear on the radio? I love attention and I love to sing, so I LOVE karaoke. I haven't done it in quite a while, though. My go-to is "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News. It's just recognizable enough that people will sing along, and it's random enough that no one else ever picks it.
So I haven't responded to everyone in a while. Work is so busy! But I came home early because of this stage five clinger of a head cold, and after a really ace nap I wanted to take some time to respond to everyone!
@pretzel2plus1 The will power you have to wait to test until AF is late. Mad props lol. @wineo929 Congrats on DH's new job!! @Daisy621 As a fellow TWW with an IUI this cycle, I am keeping my FX so hard for oyu! @leekat14 FX this is THE cycle, especially because everyone needs a excuse to rest during 15 hour shifts. (Which is craziness) @SongbirdintheCity FX this is your cycle!! RE's next cycle if not, correct?? Hopefully it doesn't come to that! @LadyBrettAshley23 Yay for obsessing less! I'd be dying at 11dpo lol. @Sugargirl1019 Fx!! Also for you BFF lol @SnobunnieMel I love me some Whitney Houston. I don't know all the words to her songs, but I act like I do if she comes on lol. @TheJerilu Sorry for the stark whiteness Cramps can go suck it @MrsDramaK FX so hard!! Also, amazing gif! My username on giphy.com is LeelaLovesFry LOL @Schumerator FX for a longer LP, if no BFP this cycle @juliebeann I'm feeling you on the googling today. So far I've held off! @FrancesGrace630 You're holding out is very commendable lol. I would have the testing itch by now if I were you!! @clover28 GOOD LUCK TOMORROW!!!!!!!! @RedBreast35 I can never read the overlays. Too many lines for me to follow lol. Fx for you! @TPup Seems to me like you got great timing! Fx! @LittleChick2 Hoep today went quickly for you! 10 days off sounds amazing! @Buthayna I'm team test again tomorrow lol @wannabeamilf Your username is so funny!! Love it! @virginiaham Hopefully AF comes rather soon after you finish off the Provera. I always took it for 5 days and AF followed three to four days later. Are you on a ten day rip?? @stephy_p Tiiming looks great! Fx! @whiska I'm also headed in tomorrow for 7dpo labs! Good luck!! @Kiki75 I know every word to Baby Got Back! Holla for a good throwback lol @Aurora1973 We also call AF week BJ week LOL Too funny. Though I only hold up my end of the bargin like 50% of the time. #lazy @beary67 I'd keep testing at this point, since you have the entirety of the rest of the cycle done. You never know what you may see! It's the forest, not a single tree lol. That's stuck in my head from my first few weeks on TB! @MonaLisaRalphio Pee away, no shame in the POAS game.
Testing: attempting to hold out til Friday at 12 dpo.
R/R/CS: self pride moment: I finally got myself up and out of bed this morning to run before work. I am trying to go 4 days this week! Hope I can keep it up.
GTKY: What is your go to karaoke song? If you are not into karaoke, what's the one song you MUST sing to if you hear on the radio? I refuse to sing karaoke! Trust me you don't want me to.
@MrsDramaK Ha! That makes more sense now. @TPup Clearly you don't know me IRL. I try. Sometimes I hit it and other days it just doesn't happen. @clover28 We're all rooting for you!! @MonaLisaRalphio I hope you really like your new doctor! It's so awesome to find one that is a good match for you. @angeltennis3 Congrats on getting up to run! (Warning, maybe TMA ahead... if you haven't been running regularly, remember to ramp up slowly and/or crosstrain. It's way worse to get an overuse injury and derail your good habits than to 'miss out' by ramping up slowly.)

Testing: Thursday if no AF (only bc I'm having a girls weekend; DH has Fridays off in the summer so I won't see him til Sunday. Also for drinking purposes)
R/R/CS: Another 10.5 hour day. So sick of these long days:(
Car shopping is stressing me out. I really want to test drive a Rogue but my coworker said she doesn't like hers. I'll still give it my opinion but I'm less excited now.
GTKY: What is your go to karaoke song? If you are not into karaoke, what's the one song you MUST sing to if you hear on the radio? I've never done karaoke. I'm not really into music but if a song is placed a bunch and I learn it I'll sing along.
@kiki75 thanks! The last time I got "into" running I used the couch to 5k app. It is a really good combo of walking/running so I think it helps ease me into it!

@SongbirdintheCity Happy karaoke tomorrow!
@LadyBrettAshley23 Glad to hear that you've been able to focus on other things and it's making you feel better.
@sammajane19 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Enjoy the heck out of 29! And what @BusinessWife said. I was really bummed about my 30th but I was wrong. It really is okay.

@MrsDramaK So many "wait, whut?"s! 19DPO to test? Haha. No. You're in the 96s post-O? Bodies are so different! 96s are rare for me and it's common for me to be over 98 during TWW. That's an excellent karaoke song. And that gif! It's perfect!
@Schumerator Hooray for a lengthening LP! Fancy is an excellent song! Another that I forgot.

@LittleChick2 Hope your day goes smoothly or at least quickly.
@Buthayna Don't worry about testing tomorrow. Just look at it as confirming that you're good to drink. 11 DPO is still pretty dang early to be accurate.
@Wannabeamilf So many DPO buddies!
@virginiaham Yay for the side effects being better!
@stephy_p That's an excellent song. And now so ironic.
@whiska Internet hugs to you.
