@LuND. So very sorry. Good that you were finally able to give her to a bit of comfort... <3 I know your house will feel a whole lot quieter for a while... maybe try to focus on the happy memories if you can, of which I'm sure there are lots! ((Hugs)) It does get better... :(
@ahrains hardwood and tile are my favorite. More like I have a disdain/phobia of carpet. We haven't really looked at buying a house yet cuz Army life and we move a lot, but I've looked around at some potential duty stations and was like "Is laminate flooring worth 80k more for a condo/house, or should we get the carpet one and put in laminate ourself". I grew up with hardwood and we have weird korean laminate type floors but they're easy to clean.
@littlebug2010 My dog hate baths too and she also gives us the stink eye.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: -2,-1, O, +1
Testing: Friday morning before DH goes to work
R/R: I made chocolate chip cookies last night. Even though the recipe says it makes 5 dozen I never get more than 3 1/2 of fairly small (in my opinion) cookies. I use a tablespoon to scoop and everything. DH got home late because work is hectic. He has this thing against going to bed right after he eats but I was tired so he sat next to me in bed and we just chatted until I was falling asleep.
Funny story, DH thought that if you have sex while KU that you can get sperm on the baby.....
I told DH I was planning on testing Friday morning. That way I can't test early because I only have one test left and he's excited. But now I'm nervous because test anxiety and the whole "what if I can't make you a child" thing which I'm sure everyone here understands. I told my SIL all this and she was like "well I'm sure he'd be happy for the chance to try again next month" and I think we crossed that line of TTC talk and sex talk. I don't talk to my SIL about sex with her brother, that's a no for me lol.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what household chore do you dislike the most?
Daisy hates her baths and she hates when I sweep or mop. If we had a vacuum she would be petrified of it. I hate cleaning her indoor potty. We live in a city with no grassy areas and puppy pads are expensive and make a lot of trash so we got an indoor dog potty. It works great and the enzyme mixes for it really stop any smell but I have to clean it every one to two weeks.
@shstephenson Sorry to hear about your kidney infection – hope you
get to 100% soon!
@jackiemarie1989 I think if you got at least three hours before
you temped at 4, you chose the better option. I wake up early all the time – my
chart is full of open circles but it hasn’t seemed to affect much that I know
of. (Unless it’s RIDICULOUSLY early – like, 3 – 4 hours)
@ahrains@aurora1973 Hey ladies – I think we’re all testing within
the next week. FX for all us AMA’ers!
@luND sorry to hear about your loss L We had to put our 15 yr old down this year
and it was so hard.
Month/Cycle: 6/5
CD/DPO: 28/7
Timing: -5, -1, O
Testing: I was going to wait til Labor Day, but FF says to do it
next Wednesday – I imagine I’ll test first next tuesday
R/R: So very tired from work. And so very tired from messing with my
computer all night – I got a new iphone and I’m trying to set it up but it won’t
talk to itunes and it’s been a frustrating nightmare. GRRR.
TTC wise, DH is getting a SA this Friday – so I’m really happy
that is getting taken care of. One more box checked.
CS/Q: NADA
GTKY: If you have a pet, is there a specific household chore
they don't seem to like you doing? If you don't have a pet, what
household chore do you dislike the most?
The dog I used to have hated the vacuum – he would attack it
and try to bite it all the time. Our other dog doesn’t care about much = and my
cat only hates chores if it means she has to move.
R/R: I'm so confused. This is the longest cycle I've ever had! I've taken 4 tests and all are negative. Spotting for 5 days in the am but definitely not AF. Minor cramping too but not severe. Never had this with DD.
CS/Q: insight on the craziness of spotting and cramping? Could there be something more going on that I don't know about?
@Sbruins20. Pre-menstrual spotting can be a sign of low progesterone. 5 days of spotting is something you'll want to mention to your doctor if/when AF does show. I can't see if you have your chart in your siggy, if you were temping and are sure of your O-date? If you're really 15 dpo, and pregnant, you should be turning a test. I think it's pretty rare not to get a postive till 16 or 18dpo. Either way, if you are not turning a test, you are not pregnant at this time. If you have also been spotting/cramping for 5 days, AF is probably on her way. :/ But I could be wrong, and no one in the internet can see inside your ute and know what's going on. I'm so sorry you're going through this right now... (((hugs)))
