R/R: I used the progesterone last night. Interesting stuff. It did not come with an applicator so it was a little tricky (no instructions on how high it should go) and probably will be until I get use to it. I was so afraid that it would leak all over I slept like shit because I was afraid to move and get comfy.
CS/Q: nada
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ? It depends on who's trying to cheer me up. I don't mind being cheered up but when it's certain people Id rather be left alone.
@ mispanda I need
to read more about progesterone suppositories. Did you get it from your doctor?
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 21/4
Timing: 0, -1, -3, -5 (and -7, folks, because my cycle
was confusing and I need credit).
Testing: Not happening… I guess if I am 14 DPO (I won’t
be), I’d consider it… or if I had some really obvious symptom.
R/R: Rave: Easy breezy day at work today! So I’ll
probably be commenting on everyone’s post!
CS/Q: Nope! Just glad the temp has shifted!
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left
alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ?
Hmm… tough one. I like to be
left alone ostensibly (with food and tv), but if someone can genuinely cheer me
up, I’d prefer that. For me, my dog is the best cure for a bad mood… so left
alone with her is ideal!
Testing: We're celebrating our anniversary on Saturday so it would be nice to give him a nice present. But then again... CD 10 is a little early still kinda. (I say, as I'm trying to justify the impending BFN I know is coming)
R/R: we don't usually buy pop or keep it in the house but we went to get groceries on Saturday and a 24 case was on sale so we bought one. Well... we drank almost half of it already and now I remember why we don't buy it.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ?
I like to brood alone, surrounded by animals. Our first cat can always sense when I'm in a bad mood or sad and she comes up and demands to be held and cuddled.
Testing: not unless AF has not shown up by my appt on 4/25
R/R: It is Tuesday Meeting Day. I hate Tuesdays.
CS/Q: Nope, chart still a mess
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ?
Like the others have said, it kind of depends on why I am in a bad mood and who is doing the cheering up. The biggest thing is if my bad mood is anxiety induced it is best to just leave me alone. The next person who tries to tell me to "just relax" when my anxiety kicks in is getting a punch to the throat. That is not how that works!!!!!
R/R: I know its too soon to say but I already feel like this is not going to be my month. I had a dream last night that I took a test and it was a blaring BFP and I was so happy. And then I woke up...and I have never felt less KU than I do today.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up? Funny you should ask this because I am currently in a terrible mood and just want my co workers to leave me alone. So I guess there is your answer. Although, I'm sure the right type of person could still cheer me up.
Me: 29 DH:30 Dating 03/31/2011 Married 10/18/2014 DS Born 12/28/2017 TTC #2 06/2019
Testing: party this weekend so probs cheapies then on out
R/R: Today is gorgeous out and I am having a good TTC day. I am kind of feeling accepting that if it doesn't happen this cycle or next that we are moving to IUI. It sort of makes these 2 months feel a little less disappointing if it doesn't happen.
CS/Q: Nothing today
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ? I can go either way. I think it depends on what has happened. If its say a fight with DH that caused the bad mood, I want him to cheer me up. If its a bad mood caused by a ignorant/rude TTC comment I just want to be left alone
@emilylove25 yes! My dog always makes everything much better haha. Hooray for temp shift!
@kiwi2628 hooray for your own friday!! Also kudos on the good timing girl!
@laurenEG14 sorry you are feeling out today *hugs*
R/R: Today is my OB appointment and then I go sign the closing documents for our house! I'm oddly really looking forward to the Dr. appt just to get some of my anxieties out to a professional about TTC and to have a plan for when I do get my BFP. Interested to see how she responds to the fact I have been tracking too.
CS/Q: Everything looks as expected for now.
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ? I want to be left alone! It drives me nuts... my DH always has to try to fix things when I'm in a bad mood about something and that ends up making my mood worse. I've told him 100 times I just need a few minutes and I'll get over whatever it is that's bothering me but it eats him alive and he can't help himself.
@mispanda Sorry to hear you had a rough night. @EmilyLove25 Apparently I have a easy day today too. I only had one patient on my schedule today and they just cancelled! So I guess ill be here bumping until noon when I leave for my Dr. appointment. @kiwi2628 Happy Friday! @Dilynne Any plans for your anniversary? @Pinky917 Saying "just relax" never goes well. My H always tells me to "chill my beans" lol @LaurenEG14 When I read that you were testing 4/21 I was really confused because I was thinking CD/DPO and not the date FX your dream was a BFP premonition for you. @GG620 Glad to hear you are feeling good about your TTC plan.
@mispanda I feel you on the shitty sleep last night! Happy Friday @kiwi2628! @EmilyLove25 Yeah, sometimes the perfect cure for a bad mood is animal snuggles, tv and snacks @Dilynne Happy almost anniversary! We can't keep soda in the house at all. My husband will drink a 12 pack in like 2 days. Good thing he never goes to the store, so I can kind of control it! @Pinky917 Seriously, I hate it when people tell me to "just relax." No dude, I have anxiety. It's not that simple! Sorry @LaurenEG14. I'm having the same feelings lately and it's really hard. And those freaking baby/BFP dreams are the absolute worst. Hugs dude. @GG620 Good outlook! @JJMNO1616 Today is a very exciting day for you! Enjoy it! (Not the gyno part, because that's never really enjoyable, is it? Lol You get what I mean!
Month/Cycle: 10/9

Timing: -3, 0
Testing: no
R/R: My husband was snoring ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL EFFING NIGHT and woke me up every 20 minutes and I wanted to commit actual murder. I finally gave up and went to my couch, where I am currently cruising the bump. BUT, I do have a super easy day at work and then I'm going to see my favorite band tonight, so it'll be fine. I still want to murder him though, so it's best I stay downstairs
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ?
Well, judging from my rant above, I'd say it's best to just leave me alone!
@mispanda glad the progesterone is not too bad. @kiwi2628 & @Pinky917 good luck at your RE appts! @EmilyLove25 progesterone is prescribed by a doctor. It's usually prescribed because your progesterone is low. @JJMNO1616 exciting day today! Closing day is so exciting! @LaurenEG14 those bfp dreams are the worst.
Month/Cycle: 24/18ish

Timing: FET on 4/12
Testing: beta on 4/26
R/R: I'm feeling a lot less negative than I did yesterday which is good. And I have a bunch of work to keep me busy and not googling.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ?
I always prefer to be left alone. People trying to cheer me up always makes it worse. I can usually pull myself out of a funk if I just have 30 minutes of quiet contemplation.

R/R: Many rants. 1. I have woken up (is that even right?) before my alarm the past 6 work days. Last week it was only 20ish minutes before, but both days this week I've been up 45 minutes early. Yay for open circle temps... 2. I just feel out this cycle. Probably because of my lack of BSC. My rave would be that we bought a bunch of half price Easter candy yesterday.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up? Alone, for sure.
@mispanda Oh no, sorry you didn't sleep well! I imagine I would probably do that too. @EmilyLove25 Yay for an easy work day! @kiwi2628 Woohoo for your Friday! @Dilynne I don't drink pop much either, and I know if we bought it I'd drink it a lot! Also, high five to you for saying "pop." DH says "soda" and used to make fun of me. @Pinky917 Just relax are the worst words EVER! UGH. @LaurenEG14 A few days ago I had a dream I took an OPK (at the same point in my cycle) and it was positive and I was like, "That can mean you're KU!" I don't feel pregnant at all either. I call BS on all these people saying they had a dream like that and then they were KU. @GG620 Yay for a good TTC day! Those are rare, but I love them. @JJMNO1616 Ahh so exciting you're signing all your papers! @breezybee Who is your favorite band? Have fun seeing them tonight! @tamalahoops I'm glad you're feeling less negative. FX so hard for you!
R/R: Fiance wanted me to take today off so we could spend the day together. Unfortunately for him I have a Evaluation today that I can't miss. =/
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ?
Most times I'll prefer being left alone, as usually when I get mad it's out of frustration. Generally I like to figure things out on my own, so if someone tries to cheer me up/help me figure something out too quickly it'll prolong my grumpiness.

@Pinky917 I'm with you--people telling you to relax when you're upset/have anxiety is so not the right thing to say.
@LaurenEG14 I had a dream like that the other night and was super bummed when I woke up and realized it wasn't real. I'm sorry you're having a bad day!
R/R: got a great night's sleep! But I have like four or five loads of laundry to fold today
CS/Q: I'm gonna have to post in the CS/Q from desktop because the app is being a B.
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ? Definitely alone. I tend to snap at people when they're trying to cheer me up.

@LaurenEG14 Sorry you are feeling down. Those dreams are truly evil.
@GG620 I really love your outlook right now. Glad you are feeling good about your path forward!
@JJMNO1616 Hope all goes smoothly today!
@tamalahoops Thanks, but not getting to the RE just yet. The appt next week is just with my OB/GYN to hopefully either get a referral or start some preliminary testing. Making steps forward though! Happy to hear you are feeling better today!
@MJDsquared Half price Easter candy for the win!!!!
Testing: April 28th as I'm supposed to drink that Friday night.
R/R: I am swamped at work lately which is a good thing (because I'm staying busy) and a bad thing (because I have no time to bump ). Hopefully all will calm down soon so I can start posting in the mornings again.
CS/Q: FF and I are on the same page as I date today, so nope!
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up? I prefer to be left alone to brood. MH and I used to get into fights in the past over my bad moods because he didn't understand I need to be left alone. He would feel like I was ignoring him and he did something wrong, when really it usually wasn't him. Thankfully I think he has gotten the message (after several discussions) that I just need to be ignored when I'm grumpy. I won't be upset and I usually recover from bad moods faster when I'm allowed to brood lol.
@shortstack930 Ugh folding laundry is the worst! @SoraLk Hope the evaluation goes well! @tamalahoops Glad you're feeling less negative today. Hopefully the work will keep you busy. @breezybee UGH sorry for the snoring husband. Thankfully mine doesn't snore often, but when he does... it keeps me up all night. @JJMNO1616 Good luck at the closing today! Hope it goes smoothly for you!
Testing: maybe this weekend, not feeling hopeful though so no urge to test yet
R/R: I have absolutely 0 motivation today and my ears/ nose are all stuffy...Is it possible to not have allergies then develop them later in life?
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ? Like other ladies it depends on why I'm mad
@mispanda you will inevitably get the suppositories everywhere no matter how you sleep unfortunately..... when I got my first batch I was using the applicators from my preseed since I never use them and then I ran out which sucked cuz they worked really well haha
@MJDsquared Radiohead! I see them every time they come to my state. Although I am proving how much I love them tonight - the show is at an outdoor venue and it's supposed to rain
@Dilynne happy almost anniversary @breezybee Have fun at the concert, hope the rain holds out @kaitlink33 unfortunately it is very very possible to develop allergies later in life I hope you get through the season as easily as possib;e @JJMNO1616 I hope the closing goes smoothly! What an exciting couple of weeks for you! @shortstack930 I hope you have a great show to put on or a podcast to get through all the laundry, that is the worst @MJDsquared I am jealous of the half price easter cant. I went to Target today and it was only 30% off. What gives? @SoraLk Sorry that you weren't able to take off with your fiancé, i hate when schedules are opposite like that! Happens to DH and me all the time @LaurenEG14 sorry for mean dreams, they are the worst.
Month/Cycle:10/10

Testing: Friday if no temp drop
R/R: Last day of spring break BOOOOOOOOOOO, but I go back to a 3 day week and DH comes home either Thursday or Friday from an almost 2 week long business trip. Plus, the break was actually very restful and I got a ton of cleaning done and gave away so many bags of clothes and just feel good about the state of the apartment. Just 9 1/2 months until summer!!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ? If someone is cheering me up I prefer it in the form of distraction as opposed to helping me work through the issue. The issue I need to work out on my own but a distraction of a movie, a happy hour, etc is often appreciated.

@kaitlink33 I am so sorry to give you the bad news My DH has a lot of immune issues and between all that testing and then allergy testing, every doctor is like "o yes, it is completely possible for these things to pop up with age/change in hormones/location/exposure... blah, blah, blah. I hope whatever you are allergic to is quick to leave your area!

@kaitlink33 yes, it is totally possible to develop allergies later in life and it happened to me. My allergy symptoms are only partly congestion and generally also include fatigue and headaches. I recommend OTC allergy meds and a Neti Pot. BTW, most allergy medicine dries up your CF so you'll probably want to skip it in the days leading up to O, but fingers crossed this is your cycle and you won't have to worry about it.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: Good
Testing: I broke down and tested on a Wondfo this morning, BFN, not surprising. Will test again Friday or Saturday if AF has not shown up because of wine drinking plans.
R/R: My stomach is making the most ridiculous gurgles after I had a salad for lunch, which could be due to my Metformin, but is more likely due to impending AF as I usually get stomach upset along with AF. Also feeling a roller coaster of emotions for no apparent reason. I am generally loving being off of BC but sometimes I have all the feelings.
CS/Q: Not today... for a change
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ? I prefer to be left alone but DH always wants to cheer me up. This is partly because he assumes if I am upset I am angry with him, which is not usually the case, more likely I am just upset with or mad at the whole world. We have come to a compromise where he leaves me alone at least for a little while and then comes and bothers me until I cheer up.
@zamora_spin ooohhh maybe that's why I've all of a sudden started getting chronic headaches the last few weeks.....interesting. Thanks for the tip on CM, btw
Testing: That is a dream too big to dream right now!
R/R: I am back. I don't know if anyone remembers me. I tend to fall in and out of these boards as the hope ebbs and flows.
I had a sharp pain in my left side on Saturday night and a few times Sunday. So I took an opk on Sunday, and it was very dark. I don't think it was positive. Or at least, only the edge of it seemed positive. Monday I took another and the line is barely there, so whatever happened it happened over the weekend. My temps have been higher the last three days and I have dotted cross hairs. I'm so excited. The only other time I recorded a temperature shift my luteal phase was only 3 days. So here's to hoping it's longer this time!
CS/Q: Nothing, just excited and wanted to share with someone.
GTKY: It really depends. If the person is trying to cheer me up, that's fine. If they're not going to help try to cheer me up they need to leave me alone until I cool off.

Like the others have said, it kind of depends on why I am in a bad mood and who is doing the cheering up. The biggest thing is if my bad mood is anxiety induced it is best to just leave me alone. The next person who tries to tell me to "just relax" when my anxiety kicks in is getting a punch to the throat. That is not how that works!!!!!

Testing: party this weekend so probs cheapies then on out
R/R: Today is gorgeous out and I am having a good TTC day. I am kind of feeling accepting that if it doesn't happen this cycle or next that we are moving to IUI. It sort of makes these 2 months feel a little less disappointing if it doesn't happen.
CS/Q: Nothing today
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ? I can go either way. I think it depends on what has happened. If its say a fight with DH that caused the bad mood, I want him to cheer me up. If its a bad mood caused by a ignorant/rude TTC comment I just want to be left alone
@emilylove25 yes! My dog always makes everything much better haha. Hooray for temp shift!
@kiwi2628 hooray for your own friday!! Also kudos on the good timing girl!

R/R: Today is my OB appointment and then I go sign the closing documents for our house! I'm oddly really looking forward to the Dr. appt just to get some of my anxieties out to a professional about TTC and to have a plan for when I do get my BFP. Interested to see how she responds to the fact I have been tracking too.
CS/Q: Everything looks as expected for now.
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ?
I want to be left alone! It drives me nuts... my DH always has to try to fix things when I'm in a bad mood about something and that ends up making my mood worse. I've told him 100 times I just need a few minutes and I'll get over whatever it is that's bothering me but it eats him alive and he can't help himself.
@mispanda Sorry to hear you had a rough night.
@EmilyLove25 Apparently I have a easy day today too. I only had one patient on my schedule today and they just cancelled! So I guess ill be here bumping until noon when I leave for my Dr. appointment.
@kiwi2628 Happy Friday!
@Dilynne Any plans for your anniversary?
@Pinky917 Saying "just relax" never goes well. My H always tells me to "chill my beans" lol
@LaurenEG14 When I read that you were testing 4/21 I was really confused because I was thinking CD/DPO and not the date FX your dream was a BFP premonition for you.
@GG620 Glad to hear you are feeling good about your TTC plan.
Happy Friday @kiwi2628!
@EmilyLove25 Yeah, sometimes the perfect cure for a bad mood is animal snuggles, tv and snacks
@Dilynne Happy almost anniversary! We can't keep soda in the house at all. My husband will drink a 12 pack in like 2 days. Good thing he never goes to the store, so I can kind of control it!
@Pinky917 Seriously, I hate it when people tell me to "just relax." No dude, I have anxiety. It's not that simple!
Sorry @LaurenEG14. I'm having the same feelings lately and it's really hard. And those freaking baby/BFP dreams are the absolute worst. Hugs dude.
@GG620 Good outlook!
@JJMNO1616 Today is a very exciting day for you! Enjoy it! (Not the gyno part, because that's never really enjoyable, is it? Lol You get what I mean!

R/R: My husband was snoring ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL EFFING NIGHT and woke me up every 20 minutes and I wanted to commit actual murder. I finally gave up and went to my couch, where I am currently cruising the bump.
BUT, I do have a super easy day at work and then I'm going to see my favorite band tonight, so it'll be fine.
I still want to murder him though, so it's best I stay downstairs
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ?
Well, judging from my rant above, I'd say it's best to just leave me alone!
edited for words
@kiwi2628 & @Pinky917 good luck at your RE appts!
@EmilyLove25 progesterone is prescribed by a doctor. It's usually prescribed because your progesterone is low.
@JJMNO1616 exciting day today! Closing day is so exciting!

GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ?
I always prefer to be left alone. People trying to cheer me up always makes it worse. I can usually pull myself out of a funk if I just have 30 minutes of quiet contemplation.

CD/DPO: 34/12
Timing: erry day
Testing: Only if AF doesn't come around Friday.
R/R: Many rants. 1. I have woken up (is that even right?) before my alarm the past 6 work days. Last week it was only 20ish minutes before, but both days this week I've been up 45 minutes early. Yay for open circle temps... 2. I just feel out this cycle. Probably because of my lack of BSC. My rave would be that we bought a bunch of half price Easter candy yesterday.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up?
Alone, for sure.

@kiwi2628 Woohoo for your Friday!
@Dilynne I don't drink pop much either, and I know if we bought it I'd drink it a lot! Also, high five to you for saying "pop." DH says "soda" and used to make fun of me.
@Pinky917 Just relax are the worst words EVER! UGH.
@LaurenEG14 A few days ago I had a dream I took an OPK (at the same point in my cycle) and it was positive and I was like, "That can mean you're KU!" I don't feel pregnant at all either. I call BS on all these people saying they had a dream like that and then they were KU.
@GG620 Yay for a good TTC day! Those are rare, but I love them.
@JJMNO1616 Ahh so exciting you're signing all your papers!
@breezybee Who is your favorite band? Have fun seeing them tonight!

CS/Q:
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ?
Most times I'll prefer being left alone, as usually when I get mad it's out of frustration. Generally I like to figure things out on my own, so if someone tries to cheer me up/help me figure something out too quickly it'll prolong my grumpiness.

@Pinky917 I'm with you--people telling you to relax when you're upset/have anxiety is so not the right thing to say.
@LaurenEG14 I had a dream like that the other night and was super bummed when I woke up and realized it wasn't real. I'm sorry you're having a bad day!
@GG620 glad you are thinking positively!

R/R: I am swamped at work lately which is a good thing (because I'm staying busy) and a bad thing (because I have no time to bump ). Hopefully all will calm down soon so I can start posting in the mornings again.
CS/Q: FF and I are on the same page as I date today, so nope!
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up?
I prefer to be left alone to brood. MH and I used to get into fights in the past over my bad moods because he didn't understand I need to be left alone. He would feel like I was ignoring him and he did something wrong, when really it usually wasn't him. Thankfully I think he has gotten the message (after several discussions) that I just need to be ignored when I'm grumpy. I won't be upset and I usually recover from bad moods faster when I'm allowed to brood lol.
@shortstack930 Ugh folding laundry is the worst!
@SoraLk Hope the evaluation goes well!
@tamalahoops Glad you're feeling less negative today. Hopefully the work will keep you busy.
@breezybee UGH sorry for the snoring husband. Thankfully mine doesn't snore often, but when he does... it keeps me up all night.
@JJMNO1616 Good luck at the closing today! Hope it goes smoothly for you!
CD/DPO: 24/ 7 or 8
Timing: ok I guess
Testing: maybe this weekend, not feeling hopeful though so no urge to test yet
R/R: I have absolutely 0 motivation today and my ears/ nose are all stuffy...Is it possible to not have allergies then develop them later in life?
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ? Like other ladies it depends on why I'm mad
@mispanda you will inevitably get the suppositories everywhere no matter how you sleep unfortunately..... when I got my first batch I was using the applicators from my preseed since I never use them and then I ran out which sucked cuz they worked really well haha
@MJDsquared I also bough half off Easter candy yesterday. It was great.
@breezybee Have fun at the concert, hope the rain holds out
@kaitlink33 unfortunately it is very very possible to develop allergies later in life I hope you get through the season as easily as possib;e
@JJMNO1616 I hope the closing goes smoothly! What an exciting couple of weeks for you!
@shortstack930 I hope you have a great show to put on or a podcast to get through all the laundry, that is the worst
@MJDsquared I am jealous of the half price easter cant. I went to Target today and it was only 30% off. What gives?
@SoraLk Sorry that you weren't able to take off with your fiancé, i hate when schedules are opposite like that! Happens to DH and me all the time
@LaurenEG14 sorry for mean dreams, they are the worst.

R/R: Last day of spring break BOOOOOOOOOOO, but I go back to a 3 day week and DH comes home either Thursday or Friday from an almost 2 week long business trip. Plus, the break was actually very restful and I got a ton of cleaning done and gave away so many bags of clothes and just feel good about the state of the apartment. Just 9 1/2 months until summer!!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ?
If someone is cheering me up I prefer it in the form of distraction as opposed to helping me work through the issue. The issue I need to work out on my own but a distraction of a movie, a happy hour, etc is often appreciated.

I definitely like to be left alone. I need time to come around.

TTC post VR Sept 21/16
SA 6 weeks post op 50.7 mil count 40% motility
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 28/11
Timing: Good
Testing: I broke down and tested on a Wondfo this morning, BFN, not surprising. Will test again Friday or Saturday if AF has not shown up because of wine drinking plans.
R/R: My stomach is making the most ridiculous gurgles after I had a salad for lunch, which could be due to my Metformin, but is more likely due to impending AF as I usually get stomach upset along with AF. Also feeling a roller coaster of emotions for no apparent reason. I am generally loving being off of BC but sometimes I have all the feelings.
CS/Q: Not today... for a change
GTKY: If you are in a bad mood, do you prefer to be left alone or does it help to have someone cheer you up ? I prefer to be left alone but DH always wants to cheer me up. This is partly because he assumes if I am upset I am angry with him, which is not usually the case, more likely I am just upset with or mad at the whole world. We have come to a compromise where he leaves me alone at least for a little while and then comes and bothers me until I cheer up.
CD/DPO: 21/3
Timing: -2,1
Testing: That is a dream too big to dream right now!
R/R: I am back. I don't know if anyone remembers me. I tend to fall in and out of these boards as the hope ebbs and flows.
I had a sharp pain in my left side on Saturday night and a few times Sunday. So I took an opk on Sunday, and it was very dark. I don't think it was positive. Or at least, only the edge of it seemed positive. Monday I took another and the line is barely there, so whatever happened it happened over the weekend. My temps have been higher the last three days and I have dotted cross hairs. I'm so excited. The only other time I recorded a temperature shift my luteal phase was only 3 days. So here's to hoping it's longer this time!
CS/Q: Nothing, just excited and wanted to share with someone.
GTKY: It really depends. If the person is trying to cheer me up, that's fine. If they're not going to help try to cheer me up they need to leave me alone until I cool off.

definitely left alone, I tend to snap at people when I'm having a bad day
