R/R: eh, 8 I started cramping today but know it's nothing. But it's impossible to not think positively about any "symptom"

CS/Q: not much to see you

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you? When I was 4, I was a little asshole and popped my brothers "hippity hop" because mine broke. My dad made me DRAG a deflated Hippity hop around the rest of the day. To dinner and all.

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?
On my 13th birthday my parents picked me up from school with the car all painted and balloons tied all over it. I was late coming out of school because I was talking with my friends so everyone else saw it. Add in to that me being a sensitive and hormonal I was SO embarrassed.

tlunceford123116 · October 2016

@mrs35 I get embarrassed so easily and would have been mortified too!

WTF: Charting, vitamins, opk

R/r: I'm out in the field this week, and right now its 30 degrees. I packed for 60 degrees, not 30 degrees!!! I might be hitting up Walmart for a down coat first thing!

C/s: Still no darn CH!!!!! Must remember that CH are not the goal and I can't keep hio anyway so it is what it is. But grrrr.

Gtky: When I was in college, I went to one of those activity fairs and expressed interest in a Unitarian Universalist church. There is one near my parents house and I had gone a couple times for a school project.
Well my dad heard this and decided it was a cult, so he wrote a long disparaging email to the reverend about how he knows about you people and his daughter isnt getting sucked into a cult.
Never went!

NYTino24 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/2

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: PNV, CoQ10, magnesium, B complex, BBT, CM, OPKs, starting Preseed

R/R: This is the first time in a long time I can say I actually feel better having AF than not. I was so nauseous for the last week and a half and I somehow got bacne. I already feel less bloated too.

CS/Q: Nope. DH actually looked at my FF on Friday and said, "We need to do it way more often now." But then last night I told him around when we should start the EOD and he was like, "Don't tell me. I don't want to know." I know you ladies feel me.

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?
My uncle made a comment about me "growing" in front of family members when I was like 13. My dad replied with something about puberty and then my uncle (only 10 years older than me) teased me about having my period. It was more embarrassing that I had to deny it than if it was actually true. I was a late bloomer and didn't get AF until 14, while my twin got it 2 years before and younger sister got it 3 years before. Guys should just stay away from the topic! My mom made us get mullets when I was in second grade. I cried and it took over a year to grow out. I grew my hair to my butt after that!

motherhubbard19 · October 2016

Finally, I get to post again and it's early! The last several days I have been so busy that by the time I check in the threads are already 2 or 3 pages deep. And I hate being late to the party!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 24

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, HIO as much as possible although I've been slacking the last few days... I'm feeling AF is not too far away.

R/R: Only rant is that I have missed being on here the last week or so. Work has been killing me but thankfully it seems to be calming down.

CS/Q: I have no chart to stalk yet but soon!

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you? I honestly can't say that my parents ever really embarrassed me. My mom would always try but I would just laugh with her. I would try to embarrass her just as much. I still to this day will just start dancing or singing in the middle of a store. I don't care who is watching.

NYTino24 · October 2016

I am the same with Tuesdays because I have faculty meetings and bus duty. I have to stay an hour and 15 minutes late reply than usual and it's always a formality / waste of time.
@GlitterFish I think FF wants 6 solid preO temps before giving CH.

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?

In 8th grade while I was getting ready for a choir concert, my parents were in line to go into the auditorium. As always, they were arguing, and right there, surrounded by my classmates parents, my mom turns to my dad and says 'fuck it. I want a divorce. We're over'.

Awkwarddddd. In hindsight its actually kind of funny the way that all went down, and I am SO happy they got divorced, so its not some sad story, just one of those things that made school awkward for a few weeks.

WAYDTGKU:   Sex for the time being. Will start charting again after AF comes.

R/R:   I pulled up information re: cp's and sent it to DH. Hopefully he is more enlightened now. I also told him that all he had to do was apologize to me for hurting me and handling the situation with his sister poorly. Of course he said that he did apologize and I told him that he didnt. He full blow apologized and said that he hates hurting me. So I guess I should start forgiving him huh?

CS/Q:   None right now

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?

Wow...this is a tough one....I can't remember one specific event that my parents did. I mean they were protective but never outright embarrassing.

NYTino24 · October 2016

@kiwi2628 That sucks, but I know what you mean. I was wishing my parents would divorce from the time I was like 9. They finally split when I was 19 and there was like a relief for everyone until we lost our house. That was 15 years ago and they are still too cheap / lazy to actually get a divorce. It's a model for how I will never be. (Sorry to be a Debbie Downer). I'm so jealous people had parents who would come to events to support them.

zwink1 · October 2016

@GlitterFish. Esh, that's no fun, stay warm!!

@NYTino24 I definitely feel you on the H situation, we just had this chat again last night! He's waffled back and forth but is now firmly in the "don't tell me" camp. Also, your gtky, I agree haha, guys should just avoid that topic entirely. However, if it makes you feel better, I don't think you were a late bloomer! I didn't get mine until I was 18.

Month/Cycle: 12/10

CD:21

WAYDTGKU: opks, temping, pnvs, omega 3s, checking cm, the obvious...

R/R: H and I had a good talk last night about what he's been feeling regarding ttc. I've been concerned about what we want to do given the sketchy nature of my job situation. He's not super vocal about his feelings, so until last night I didn't realize that he's been having much of the same feelings I have about some of the people we know who effortlessly or accidentally got pregnant. I was a little heartbroken when he said that he had been hoping to have our first child before he turned 32 (literally impossible now) and that he wants me (us?) to be pregnant in the next six months but that he's not feeling like it's going to happen. He's supposed to be the optimist; I'm the realist/pessimist. We can't both be negative about the situation! This is actually a rave because it was a good chat.

My rant is that I slept horribly, woke up multiple times, and now I'll be crabby today and my temp is totally jacked. This cycle's chart is a disaster.

CS/Q:

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?

My mother sometimes was super late picking me up or, from time to time, just completely forgot to. She had a lot on her plate as a single mother so I can't really blame her but it was embarrassing having to come up with some excuse for the concerned parents/teachers, or having to sneak off and avoid them before they could ask questions. Cell phones helped immensely (for like a year).

Edit: punctuation and clarification.

WAYDTGKU: nothing really yet

CS/Q: nope not yet

GTKY: hmmm... not sure. There's been a few

@NYTino24 I have an embarrassing first AF story with my father and "comments"... it was scarring haha, I wanted to bury myself in a hole right then and there!

@GlitterFish i would have been so embarrassed by your GTKY! My mom took the initiative without letting me know to email this woman that was in charge of this academic program that I got hired into... it had all of these typos and grammar errors and its content wasn't much better. Now to this day, i let her know when i got the job, and nothing sooner lol...

@MommytoM13 what is this hippity hop?!

zwink1 · October 2016

@kiwi2628 woohoo for progress! H caved last night and got cold enough to turn the heat on, so we're making progress over here too!

@mylove071407 I lurked on your post in Mon BF yesterday. *hugs* I'm sorry your H is being so insensitive regarding your CP and your SIL. I'm glad he apologized!

CS/Q: none right now

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you? My Mom was a teacher at my school from 7th-12th grade. She loves to talk, so all my teacher knew way too much about me. She chaperoned every dance and trip that I ever went on, so there was zero privacy. Plus she likes to dance, but has zero rhythm.

CS/Q: Not right now.

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?

I'm with you, @Cait32. My parents both have substance abuse and mental health problems, so there aren't a lot of happy memories to pull from. I'm sorry you had to go through that as well.

@kiwi2628 Ahh great to hear your house was a little warmer last night! I stalked the WTO thread yesterday though I didn't post. Loved your GTKY question too.

@NYTino24 I also didn't get my period until 14 and was really hung up on it when I was younger. Solidarity.

WAYDTGKU: temping, opks, pnvs

R/R: FF took away my crosshairs

CS/Q: Help! FF took away my crosshairs but I had peak opks from a clear blue advanced, ovulation pain, migraines, the whole bit. I even moved over to TWW, but now I'm back. I have a bit of an inconsistent waking time (within an hour). Chart stalk? What's going on? (sorry if huge)

GTKU: My dad called my college coaches when I was a Freshman to complain I wasn't getting enough opportunities on my D1 team. (It was because I was thoroughly outclassed, not because there was anything untoward going on). I could have died.

kiwi2628 · October 2016

@NYTino24 and @BrambleRose - also didn't get my period until 14! Late bloomer. I got mine the second day of summer camp -_-

JulesDP · October 2016

WAYDTGKU: CM/CP, Temping, Green Tea, HIO EoD, OPKs starting CD 10

R/R: Rave: I slept well last night for the first time in WEEKS. I almost feel like a proper human being today!
(Completely Irrational) Rant: My FW seems to always fall during a stressful/busy time at work while my TWW is during my slow times. I wish they would flip-flop and spare me from having the down time to google ridiculous things like "is nose itching an early pregnancy symptom?"

CS/Q: Nothing to stalk yet. Just pleased that my temps are less erratic than this time last month.

GTKU: I'm so sensitive and easily embarrassed that my parents never deliberately tried to embarrass me. However, when I was 12 I walked in on them while they were having sex. If I wasn't already mortified, they made me sit down with them and "talk about what happened and how I felt about it." AH! I'm breaking out in hives just thinking about it almost 20 years later.

WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, OPK

R/R: I woke up under a warm cozy quilt with crisp fall temperatures in the air. This is one of my favorite times of year!

CS/Q: I almost always get AF in the morning, but she showed up last night before I went to bed. Do you all usually count that as CD 1?

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you? I embarrass easily, so they didn’t have to do much to make me turn bright red and mutter under my breath.

@NYTion24 I feel like my conversations with DH go the same way. Men.

@kiwi2628 Wow! That sure makes the concert more memorable!

@mylove071407 I’m sorry your DH wasn’t supportive, but glad he apologized.

@zwink1 My favorite “parent forgetting me” moment is when my mom, who taught at the school I attended, forgot about me after school and just drove home.

bumpybump · October 2016

@kiwi2628 yay for a warmer house! Hope the thread help him change his mind.

@NYTino24 normally I'd say sorry for CD1 but you sound happy to have it. Also, grr men!

@zwink1 I'm mobile right now so not sure if you have a siggy but, you must be a decent amount younger than me to have had cell phones when being picked up by parents. I didn't have a cell phone until my junior year of college. It made me feel a bit old reading that.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, temping, CM, charting, HIO

R/R: ***Possible TW*** Had dinner last night with our "normal" group of friends and then another friend who was visiting from out of town. We have DD (2), another friend has one child (7 mos), and the other has twins (6 mos). The friends with the twins left first and the out of town friend asked me how I'd feel about having twins. I said it gives me anxiety thinking of two the same age. Then he flat out asked if we would increase the size of our family. I responded that if it happens, it happens and if it doesn't, it doesn't. Obviously I'd rather it did happen but I'm not going to let them all know that! They all nodded. The. The ones with the 7 mo old said they have it all planned out and will have one next summer. Ok, glad it's magic for you guys (they had an unplanned pregnancy before being married). Pretty sure they expect a super easy road to getting KUd (eyeroll). ***End TW***

CS/Q: None

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?
My parents weren't all that embarrassing. At least I can't really think of anything that bad. The only thing that comes to mind is that I was young for my class so I wasn't 18 until I went to college and I came home after curfew once (my siblings happened to be home from college and told on me). So they moved my curfew up to 9:00 until my graduation date. It was embarrassing to tell my friends I couldn't stay out but it was my own fault so...

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, EOD BD, CP/CM, crossing my fingers...
R/R: Rant: thanks for all the FX yesterday ladies but the owner of the house we put an offer on turned down our offer and didn't even make a counter offer. DH and I are now considering waiting until after the first of the year to resume looking.
CS/Q: I would not mind a chart stalk (link below) I am curious if anyone thinks the big temperature dip may have been ovulation related. I know I will get cross hairs tomorrow if my temp is up again but just want expert opinions
GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you? I am lucky that mine really never did anything that bad other than tell bad jokes, and sing terribly in the car.

Sorry I have to post and ghost. I won't likely be able to come on and comment a whole lot today but I will try. I will at least Love-it!

zwink1 · October 2016

@kiwi2628, @NYTino24, @BrambleRose okay, now you all are making me feel like a really late bloomer!! I never really thought about how late I actually was... Great, now I'm going to jump down this Google hole!

@bumpybump about 6 years younger

I should probably clarify that I didn't get a cell phone until I was in high school, but I also wasn't able to get my driver's license until I was almost 17, so the cell phone only helped for about a year and by that time I was so used to waiting that it was no longer embarrassing.

swimsister · October 2016

@NYTino24 I feel you. I asked DH if we could discuss FW sex because it’s going to be tricky and require some planning this month. His response “As long as we, like, keep it sexy”.

@zwink1 Glad you had a good chat with your DH!

@theweevee It’s probably a combination of your open circles and the big temp drop you saw today. Right now your chart is a little unclear. I wish I could give you more than that, but right now it’s not totally obvious that you ovulated on CD15. Keep HIO and maybe start taking OPKs again. See what your chart does in a few days.

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, CP, PNV, Vitamins for DH, Preseed

R/R: I’m going at little BSC trying to plan FW sex. I think that we’re going to get 3 days in a row at best: Saturday, Sunday and either Friday or Monday. So I keep waffling as to whether Friday or Monday would be better. I feel a little nuts.

CS/Q:

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?

Well this is just causing me to sift through my embarrassing memories through life and I feel like most of them were self-inflicted. I should go hug my parents.

TravelingCouple · October 2016

@GlitterFish I just noticed your pic is from Pout Pout Fish! That is one of DS' favorite books, it's cute

@osucma we are also looking for a house an it's an exhausting process! The number of new houses has definitely dropped off since summer ended.

Month/Cycle: 11/12

R/R: I woke up and my house was 61 degrees! Brrrr, summer where are you?

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?
My Dad loved to embarrass me... When I was on a date with my boyfriend in 8th grade, he showed up in the middle and yelled "excuse me! Get your hands off my daughter!" When he saw my bf with his arm around me. I think he was half joking, but my bf didn't get that, obviously, and turned crimson. I was so embarrassed that I broke up with him the next day so I wouldn't have to bring him around my Dad again.

Month/Cycle: 10/9 or 10/8 I'm not even sure anymore.

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: Vitamins, Synthroid (upped my dose after f/u bloodwork last week) TSH still high whomp

R/R: Sorry for not posting as frequently. I needed a bump break for my own sanity. Tbh I am not sure anymore what helps and what doesn't.

HSG tomorrow. I am both nervous and excited. This is the last piece of our "puzzle" so I am really hoping my tubes are all clear. If they are, the RE may recommend that we continue to try naturally for a couple more months. I guess I would be okay with that. Going through all the testing so far has really lessened my anxiety about TTC.

CS/Q: My house has been cold the last two nights and my thermometer was freezing! I'm wondering if it will have any impact on my temps. Anyone else notice a difference?

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you? In high school, my mom dropped off a bag of clothes to the snack shack I worked at in a swim club so I could sleep out. I met all these new people and was feeling pretty awesome that summer. Well she thought it would be funny to put the clothes in my childhood She Ra bag that was hot pink and bring it up to the window in front of all the customers and my new friends. I was mortified. Looking back it is really nbd but I was super sensitive. She still talks about it.

NYTino24 · October 2016

@theweevee I agree with @swimsister. Set an alarm to take your temp at the same time each day and do OPKs. You have too many open circle temps and that big drop without an OPK makes it hard to tell.

Month/Cycle: 6/6

WAYDTGKU: All the normal things

R/R: I'm going to try the Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test this month. I starting to feel like I could be doing something wrong. My regular ovulation tests never actually give me a true dark positive line.I pretty sure that my temps confirm O, but I wanna make sure I'm not misreading anything.

CS/Q: None

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?

They never really embarrassed me.

manillabar · October 2016

@JulesDP I'm dying, that's hilarious!
@abjm0325 i would count that as CD 1
sorry about the house, @osucma fx you guys find something better!

i feel like everyone has an embarrassing period story lol. I first got mine on my 11th birthday (such a wonderful present lol) except it started with brown spotting for a couple days so I didn't know what it was and thought something was wrong with me. Instead of telling my mom (which would make sense) I kept throwing out my underwear and eventually she figured it out when taking out the trash from the bathroom.

month/cycle: 4/4

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: tracking cm, opks, temps, etc

R/R: I'm with you all on Tuesdays, I'm tired and I want the weekend already

CS/Q: none. I'm pretty sure yesterday was O so I'm a little bummed that we didn't get O timing. And if today happens to be O, then I missed the chance to have -1... I may be a little whiny today, lol

GTKY: we moved to a new neighborhood right before I started 6th grade (my sister was starting 8th grade). On our first day of school, my parents walked us to the bus stop (which was embarrassing enough considering it was right around the corner and they continued to do so until I was in high school). Even worse though, is that my mom then went back to her car and followed the bus all the way to achool... And everyone knew it was our mom because we were the only two black kids on the bus. In retrospect it wasn't the worst thing but everyone was laughing and we were the new kids so of course we wanted to die

pepper16-2 · October 2016

@GlitterFish I owe you a reply from yesterday, I'm so sorry for the delay! Not sure I can add much more at this point, but I totally get how frustrating it is not to see those CH (yet)

@kiwi2628 YAY for heat!!

@osucma I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't get the house, that must have been so disappointing. We went through such a stressful process for buying our house with many ups and downs, but I'm so happy with the house we finally got and now I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Don't lose hope for whenever you decide to start looking again! Your amazing home is still out there

@swimsister "As long as we, like, keep is sexy" might be my new catch phrase. Just amazing. LOL

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, CP (maybe starting to recognize it??), PNVs, waiting to use OPKs and HIO ED/EOD during FW

R/R: Rant: this morning H woke up an hour before the alarm (when I take my BBT) and starting fidgeting and tossing and turning and brought the dog up on the bed and I finally snapped and said, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" (while trying to stay as still and asleep as possible... ). He sheepishly replied, "sorry" and tried to stay still for the next hour. I explained to him later about the process of charting BBT so he could understand. Men just really don't have to do much in this process of TTC do they?? Rave: Last night H had a water polo scrimmage and the ILs were at a jazz concert so I had a couple hours to myself! Watched a romcom and drank champagne. Heaven.

CS/Q: none today

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you? My mom visited me my Freshman year at college and sat with all my gfs in the cafeteria talking SO loudly and telling embarrassing stories about me while the guy I had just started dating sat two tables away with all his friends listening. My gfs LOVED her and thought it was HILARIOUS, but I was humiliated and still cringe thinking about it.

theweevee · October 2016

@swimsister and @NYTino24 thanks for the input. I guess I'm confused about the opks - I thought you were supposed to stop after you got a peak reading? I'm going to have to set an alarm going forward for sure. Aargh. I feel like this month is a mess. It's so frustrating to have all these data points and end up with an inconsistent picture because I've been skewing the results unintentionally. More days of BD and waiting here I come.

realgoodthing · October 2016

@zwink1 I'm so glad you guys had a good chat! It's always so comforting to feel like you're on the same page (even when it's one you maybe don't want to be on).

@JulesDP Your GTKY made me hide my face in secondhand embarrassment!

@osucma Ugh, sorry about the house!

Month/Cycle: 6/4 (3 TTCAL)

WAYDTGKU: BD EOD, CBFM, checking CM, RRL and green tea, PNV (plus Vitamin D, magnesium, fish oil, and a probiotic), less booze and more water

R/R: Saw the Dixie Chicks last night! SO good!

CS/Q: Ummmm....I can't find my cervix. I got my middle finger in as far as it would go and...nothing. The cervix would stop my finger from moving further, yes? Is it possible it's just too high or my fingers are too short?

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you? I got lice when I was 10 and my mom insisted on cutting it out of my hair and I had a FULL MULLET for all of fifth grade.

BertieMeetsGertie · October 2016

@kiwi2628, Yikes! That is so embarrassing!
@NYTino24, sorry to see you here, friend!
@JulesDP,

@osucma, oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't even get a counter offer. Starting a home search is so fun, but it's super stressful when it doesn't turn out the way you would like.
@swimsister, ugh, men. How many times do us ladies have to "fake" bring in the mood for sex during FW?!? I'm going out on a limb and say OFTEN. Yeah yeah, the first one or two times I might be ready to go because I'm excited FW is finally here, but I'm not always looking forward to doing it, but know that we HAVE to. Thankfully we haven't really fought about this (yet).

Month/Cycle: 4/5

WAYDTGKU: temping and pnv right now. Checking cm/cp, preseed, opk, etc. later

R/R: meh. I'm doing ok today. Not great, not bad.

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?
hmm, I don't really recall anything super embarrassing. At the time, my parents were older (35 and 36 when I was born) so I guess that was embarrassing sometimes. But that's completely normal now!

CS/Q: -

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you? Oh god. Well, when I was at secondary school (so aged 11-17), my mum decided that she should tell each of my male teachers that I had a crush on them. In no way was this true! Even if it was, what on earth did she think this would accomplish? She was a teacher herself and in some weird way, I think she thought it would mean they'd give me better treatment / attention. I almost died when she told me what she'd done.

@abjm0325 I read that REs count CD1 when you have "full flow before 5pm", so if I start in the evening, I don't count it.

@theweevee CBAD does say to stop taking OPKs if you get a peak reading but some people have multiple LH surges in a cycle. You may have started testing too soon. OPKs dont equal O so you should look to see whether it lines up with other signs like CM and CP. What is interesting is that FF seems to be predicting your O date on CD 25.. when did you O last month? I would agree with everyone that you should set a temp alarm and temp at the same time everyday to avoid those open circles. Good luck!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BD ED.

R/R: We had a horrible rain storm last night that tore our garage door off, snapped a huge tree off and landed on our horses fence. Ugh !

CS/Q: I have no idea what I am doing with CM or CP. I have been using OPKs but thinking I am coming up with a false postive at CD 10 ?

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?

I had a very short term boyfriend I really liked in high school. He was the polite but cool dude type. I made my parents promise to leave him alone when he came to pick me up for our first date. They agreed. When he came to the door they invited him in. We ended up spending our entire night in my living room while my parents drilled him. You could tell he was annoying, embarrassed, and pissed all at the same time but kept his polite attitude. He said good bye as my Mother followed him to the porch and that was our last date.

Hello ladies!! Just wanted to say that I have to mobile bump while at work, so it's basically impossible to tag and respond to everyone. But I definitely read and love-tit, I'll try to respond when I can, and hopefully have time to hop on the computer later. I love this community!

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: PNV, temping and charting with FF, BD, possibly OPK next cycle..

R/R: Tuesdays are so dull!! The more I've been temping and charting, the more interested DH has become (since this is my first cycle temping and keeping track of everything). It's adorable how he really seems interested to know how everything works with timing and ovulation and how the temps factor in. Yesterday he goes, "did you take your temperature this morning?", and I replied yes and he says, "and? Do you think there's a baby in there?" HA...he has a lot to learn but I appreciate him caring and asking.

CS/Q: Nope!

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?
Oh gosh, I can't think of one specific thing right off the bat. BUT my dad was a professional clown when my sister and I were younger, so I'm sure there was some embarrassment that went along with that, to some degree.

ETA: fixed wording...I think I said "really" like 8 times...

Been so busy! Ah! Make it stop!

Will post replies later today when work slows down!

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: Using OPK's...no positives yet...

R/R: ***TW*** Sister had her baby boy yesterday so I got all the cuddles, he is perfect

If anyone read my other post about it, she decided just to have DH in the room with her and we came the next day! She had her easiest and best labour yet so she didn't need the extra support with her in the room. Made me even more excited that we are closer to our own little one (but also very envious, I asked if we could keep him but she seemed pretty smitten

)

CS/Q: Not much up...just hoping to get a + OPK so I can figure out when this crazy body of mine O's

GTKU: What is the most embarrassing thing your parents ever did to you?
Ummmmm....okay so it would have to be my dad. He has this tendency to speak in whatever accent the person he is talking to is speaking. British/Ausie/Asian you name it he becomes full on accent mode. So needless to say, it gets very embarrassing and I try not to shop in public with him lol.

@osucma I'm sorry about the house

It sucks when they don't even counter. Keep your head up, you guys will find "the one."

@swimsister Thanks! It was nice to hear how he's been feeling. Makes me feel a little less alone. Also, lol at "As long as we, like, keep it sexy!" I think our hubands might be related!

@Saralee797 I'm sorry you've been down. Good luck with the RE, and I'm glad testing has lessened your anxiety. It's good to hear someone else's perspective on that before we start down that road next week. H and I both agree that we need to start testing but are simultaneously terrified of bad news.

@leilac Thank you! I'm actually feeling much better about everything even though it wasn't the most positive conversation. We're on the same page with what we want regardless of what is going on in my work life right now, so that's helping a lot!

@theweevee I understand the frustration. From what I understand about OPKs you can get false surges before you actually ovulate, that may be what happened to you. I get the opposite problem, last month I never got a positive OPK at all, but my temps indicated ovulation. Give it a couple days and see what your chart does, I know it’s hard… **hugs**
