Testing: I feel very PMS-ish today so not unless missed AF. I can't deal with any disappointment this week.
R/R: First, I truly apologize for not coming back to respond last night...it was a chaotic evening. Left work late, sat in traffic for almost 2 hrs, update on brother wasn't great and then my Mom called to tell me my grandma (who I lived with on and off growing up) was being transferred to a larger hospital for emergency heart surgery today. I hate not being near family during times like this. I am checking out flights right now debating if I should go. My Mom says it will stress them out more worrying about me traveling,but that's just my family...they don't handle stress well. And then DHs Mom calls and tells us she "heard" that DHs brother's wife left him and the kidsand since no one else in the family talks to DH's brother she wants ME to check on him. Oh and work is really busy. Sorry, I am a pile of complaints and worry today. Here's a cute kitty.
@jess0211 I hope this is your month!! Good luck, sounds like you could use some good news. So sorry about everything going on with your family. Maybe just make the plans on your own and "surprise" everyone so they're not worried. And good luck if you end up having to talk to your BIL

CD/DPO: 25/8
Timing: good!

R/R: nothinf major either way. Just trying to get through today and make it one day closer to the weekend. Until then I'm just going to drink all the coffee today. All. Of. It.

@jess0211 I'm sorry you have so much on your plate right now, that's definitely a LOT. Try to take care of yourself too - you can't be any support to your family if you're losing it, too. So come here to vent and complain and cry as much as you may need to!
@heatherdubrow It's still early, it's still early, it's still early!
@50wife I have my fingers crossed for you! And that's what I am thinking with my family, looking at flights right now. @heatherdubrow thanks and hugs to you as well! Hopefully it's just too early, FX. Enjoy your mini vaca! @JulesDP sorry for temp drop! Hugs! Have all the wine. @hartmich thank you so much! I needed to hear that. @kiwi2628 your positivity made me smile also one of my favorite quotes...I may have used it in emails before...
@jess0211 I'm so sorry with everything you're dealing with today, that's a lot all at once. Thinking of you and your family. Still have my FX you get some great news soon. @50wife FX no spotting is a good sign and this is your month! @heatherdubrow So so sorry for BFN, I was especially excited to read your post today. Praying so hard for you that it's just early and you get a BFFP soon @JulesDP Ugh sorry for the temp drop @kiwi2628 Love the positivity! That quote is pure gold
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 18/6 (Guessing, not temping this cycle)
Timing: So much.
Testing: Probably won't at least until AF is due (3/9), last month's disappointment is helping me hold out. We'll see how long that lasts.
R/R: So not really a rant, but just some feelings. *TW* Yesterday I went bridesmaid dress shopping for my BFF's wedding and her MOH is pregnant, which is really wonderful. The MOH is a super super sweet girl and I was so excited when I found out (in Oct) that she was pregnant, DH and I weren't ready to TTC at the time so there are not even any feelings of jealousy or any kind of negative towards her. I'm so so excited for her and cannot wait to meet her little baby. Naturally yesterday we talked about a ton of baby things and another woman in the bridal party has a few kids. I loved hearing about it all, it just also made me so so anxious to have one of my own, especially when we walked into some kids stores after looking at dresses. I just melted and it reminded me how badly I want this, right now!
Sorry for all my feelings, here's a baby deer who thinks it's a dog.

@jess0211 i'm so sorry you have so much going on. sending you big hugs. I hope your grandmother does well in surgery.
@heatherdubrow big hugs! it is still early from what I remember from lurking on the IF board a lot of the FET ladies don't get a BFP until 7-8dpt. I hope you have fun on the trip, are you taking tests with you?

Testing: Not unless AF doesn't show on Saturday. I tested yesterday at 10 DPO and it pretty much ruined my mood for the day.
R/R: Rant: My temperature is just plummeting since yesterday and I think I'm out this month. Also, standardized testing season starts today. Boo. Rave: I guess I can have (many) guilt-free glasses (or maybe carafes!) of wine this weekend.
CS/Q: Nope. Watching my temp drop makes me hate this chart and feel ready to start a new one.

@jess0211 Sorry your family is causing so much stress -- I am frequently in the same boat and live far away from many of them myself. Unsolicited advice: if you can make it home without major expense and grief from work, you should go. I've regretted twice now not heading back home sooner and would do things differently if I had the chance.
@JulesDP LOVE me some HP. Especially Hagrid! I'm with you on the big temp drop -- completely sucks.
@heatherdubrow Hopefully it's just too early -- I just upgraded my FF account and my detailed interpretation for the last few days (7-10) have said that implantation may occur on these days, so it would still be too soon -- You probably already know this, but just in case. FX for you.

@dragonette505 there is nothing regular about my cycle so I don't even know my LP length...but I'm on hormones so wouldn't get a period until I stop them anyway.
@jess0211 so sorry everything is hitting you right now. Times like this make it so stressful to not be with family. Hope everything turns out ok. @50Wife and @heatherdubrow FX for you! @JulesDP@CandyApple2012 sorry for temp drop. @ag90 I am the most impatient person in the world so I am most definitely in the I want it now boat. But I guess we wouldn't be here if we weren't.

@CandyApple2012 I love that quote! @dragonette505 sorry for BFN FX it's still too early @GG620 honestly, I love when I'm feeling optimistic. A part of me thinks positivity helps my body relax and in turn make a baby. But then there's that other part of me that is mad when I've been positive and nothing has happened. Still! It's a nice feeling to have. @MTgirlCOworld so impatient! Want it NOW! (as do we all haha) @SoraLk sorry for temp drops, FX it's still your month
Speaking of being optimistic, I just realized that last month the days after O my boobs were really sore and sensitive. This month - nothing. Granted I'm only going off last month's O day since i'm not temping this cycle but idc, I will take those positive feelings.

Thank all you ladies for well wishes for my grandma. They are delaying surgery until tomorrow due to uncontrolled BP... so FX all goes well tomorrow. @dragonette505 sorry for BFN! Fx it's just too early. @candyapple2012 sorry about the BFN! And thanks for the advice, that's what I normally do ... I am still thinking about doing that but I wonder if it's better if I go up after the surgery to help care for her during her recovery. @GG620 whoooo hooo for upcoming vacation! Jealous!
