georgiagirl3050

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 33/9

Timing: -3, -2, -1, O

Testing: tomorrow if no AF

R/R: temp went up just a little bit this morning, so I'm not out yet! Still not feeling optimistic but I guess we'll see

CS/Q: no

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)

Laser hair removal for practically my entire body. I've almost done it several times but can't get past the price!

flashley-2

Month/Cycle: 7/7 

CD/DPO: 28

Timing: Doesn't matter

Testing: Not

R/R: Well my spotting is very light off and on so I will stay here until it really hits me. Usually take a couple of days to get the full flow going - nothing like dragging on and on until it really slaps ya in the face. 

CS/Q:

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) I would pay someone ridiculous amounts of money to just help us get KU before the 12 month mark.

Happy Hump Day!

Month/Cycle: 10/12

CD/DPO: 26/12

Timing: -5, -2, O, +1

Testing: Friday if AF still hasn't arrived

R/R: temp is still high, but trying so hard not to get my hopes up. 

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)
I would plan a long vacation for me, MH and our extended families where we would travel to all the places I've always wanted to visit, but don't have the time or money!

@georgiagirl3050 I'm in the same boat as you, FX for both of us!
@flashley-2 Sorry the spotting is dragging on, that's the worst. 

darkrose88

Month/Cycle: 5/3, 3/2 AL

CD/DPO: 23/5

Timing: -2, -1, +1

Testing: April 28th

R/R: Im supposed to pick my mom up from the airport today (she is flying home from vacation and needs a ride home). But I found out yesterday we need to make some later afternoon updates at work (no earlier than 4pm), so I might not be done by the time her flight lands at 630... Thankfully DH has agreed to be my back up, but it would have been nice to see my mom.

CS/Q: Nope just waiting...

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) I'd go on a European vacation with DH to all the places we both want to visit - Ireland, Scotland, Italty, Spain, etc. We've talked about going into the past, but just never have the money to justify the trip. 

@flashley-2 sorry about the spotting.
@georgiagirl3050 I'd love to do laser hair removal as well! Why does it have to be so expensive?? 

flashley-2

@georgiagirl3050 I'm with you on laser hair removal. I hate hair. I shave my arms, legs, eerrrything that can be shaved. Be nice to not have to do it. 

@darkrose88 Boo for work getting in the way of your personal life!

EmilyLove25

georgiagirl3050 I hope the slight temp spike is a good sign!

flashley-2 Ugh. I’m sorry. I hate when that spotting starts. I’d much rather it just started already.

sjb2215 So hard not to get your hopes up. Really hope it is good for you!

PS I am 90% sure I am not tagging correctly. Super dumb here!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: O, -1, -3, -5

Testing: Grrrr… Not happening unless I magically get to 15 DPO.

R/R: Rave: **TW** My 19 month old daughter slept through the night alone for the first time ever. Part of my fertility issues relate, I hope, to BF, which she mostly does at night, so if this keeps going or anything close to this, it could be a big help for me. Plus, you know, sleep is awesome. End TW**

CS/Q: Not yet! Sadly, my chart is resembling last month’s… which I thought was great but obviously wasn’t!

GTKY: A brand new Subaru Outback or Forester with all the features! (I’m boring). 

kmalls

Month/Cycle: 4/5

CD/DPO: 17/3

Timing: -2, -1(x2), +1(x2)

Testing: not sure 

R/R: CH just showed up today and I'm a little bummed we didn't hit O day. I know the timing is ok without it, but still...

CS/Q: -- 

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) 
Buy a huge, newly constructed house in the town we've been trying to move to! And we'd buy a vacation home, which we are *so close* to doing right now, but if we won the lottery it would be like...SO MUCH BIGGER   

@georgiagirl3050 temp going up a bit is great! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. 
@flashley-2 I'm sorry about the spotting 
@sjb2215 travel would be #2 on my list for sure...though maybe not with extended family  
@darkrose88 ugh sorry work is potentially getting in the way of seeing your mom. 

Dilynne

Month/Cycle: 14

CD/DPO: 24/8

Timing: -3, -2

Testing: maybe...

R/R: I booked myself a massage for Friday because I desperately need one. Hoping it'll help me relax do I can sleep. This no sleeping thing is rough.  

CS/Q:

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)

I would find the best looking cherry red 1967 Mustang Convertible, buy it and then buy a house with a big, heated garage to keep it in. 

labgrand2012

Month/Cycle: 7

CD/DPO: 24/5

Timing: +1, O, -1, -3, -4, -5

Testing: Will try to hold off until the 28th

R/R: Had a killer workout this morning, haven't sweat that much in awhile, so now I feel amazing but know the afternoon slump is going to hit hard as we have a potluck today. 

CS/Q:

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) Well after doing the responsible things I think there would be two things I would do, a long spa vacation where I get every service I have ever wanted to try no matter how ridiculous it sounds. I would also bring my whole family to this weekend, including my in-laws from England. Maybe even some theme park for the kids. And I would buy my husband his wedding band that he wants. He has a cheap one that we got when we got married and we always said we would replace but just never have gotten around to it. 

@georgiagirl3050 laser hair removal is also something that popped into my head. it would be glorious! Also fx for you!
@flashley-2 sorry the spotting it taking its sweet time
@sjb2215 fx for you!
@darkrose88 I hope your work updates don't take too long so you can see your mom. That is nice of your DH to be your backup though!
@EmilyLove25 **TW** oh a full nights sleep!! I love those! *I hope she keeps it up **TW**
@kmalls sorry you're bummed about not hitting O day, but the rest of the timing looks fantastic! 
@Dilynne Ohhh a massage! I hope it helps. 

LaurenEG14

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 32/8 or 9

Timing: Good

Testing: Friday

R/R: Had some suspicious cramps last night but I refuse to let the BSC get me. Still feeling out. It helps that I have been super busy planning this bridal shower. It's Harry Potter themed which will be a lot of fun! I'm making butterbeer! Yummm!

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) I would hop on a plane with the hubby and fly to Australia! Then we would fly out the best financial planner we could find. Then we would lay on a beach and have him tell us how to responsibly spend our money.

@georgiagirl3050- laser hair removal is a great idea! I would definitely be getting that if I was a millionaire! 

@flashley-2- Sorry about the spotting and that it's dragging out. That really is the worst. 

@darkrose88- Sorry to hear that you won't get to see your mom today. Work ruins everything!

@EmilyLove25- I also want a Subaru! Love them!

@kmalls- Your timing is still awesome!

@Dilynne- So jealous of your massage appointment! 

@labgrand2012- That timing is seriously impressive!

Pinky917

@flashley-2 Sorry about the spotting. @darkrose88 Sorry you may not be able to see your mom. Hopefully you can get out of work in time! @EmilyLove25 You need the "@" before the username in order for them to be notified that they were tagged. Also, woo-hoo to sleeping through the night! @Dilynne Hope your massage is just what you need to relax! @labgrand2012 Holy timing! I applaud you. Month/Cycle: 11/12

CD/DPO: 23/maybe 9

Timing: decent

Testing: only if AF is not here by my appt the 25th

R/R: Only two more work days this week, and the weekend cannot come soon enough.

CS/Q: nothing to see, chart is still ugly

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) I don't know exactly where I would want to go, but it would definitely be some crazy vacation to try to hit as many locations as we can.

jenotontx

Month/Cycle: TTA

CD/DPO: 22/8

R/R: Today is closing day!! So excited to finally be a homeowner! We also finally know exactly what our closing costs are and it came in under what we were expecting. So thankfully we aren't quite as poor as we were anticipating. OB appointment also went well yesterday which I mentioned in the randoms thread. 

CS/Q: No question but my temp took an unexpected dive this morning. Still above the CL but WAY too early for AF to be in the way. Hoping it goes back up a bit tomorrow. 

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)

I think I would take a year to travel the world. I would definitely go to the Maldives and do one of those tikis with my own personal pool in the ocean. I'd also fly first class.. go all out. 

@georgiagirl3050 YAY so happy your temp went back up a bit! 

@flashley-2 Ugh, so sorry that it's being drawn out like this. I hate spotting. 

@Dilynne Good for you! Glad to hear you are scheduling some self care.

@labgrand2012 Is your DH English?!

@LaurenEG14 Good call with the financial planner. I just went straight to spending mode haha. 

ETA- @georgiagirl3050 My friend is doing lazer on her bikini area right now and she paied $3,000 for all of her treatments (like 7-8 total?) but there is a lifetime guarantee that the hair will not grow back. She is only 3 treatments in but she said she is so happy she pulled the trigger to do it. I get brazillians every 3-4 weeks and I think I'm going to splurge for it eventually too.  

tamalahoops

@georgiagirl3050 your timing looks great! Hopefully your temp stays high!

@flashley-2 sorry for the spotting. Hang in there.

@sjb2215 I would also love to travel, maybe just not with my family 

@Dilynne enjoy your massage! I got some really good sleep at my last acupuncture appointment. 

@laureneg14 I wish someone had thrown me a Harry Potter bridal shower. That sounds awesome!

Happy Hump Day!

Month/Cycle: 24/18ish

CD/DPO: 7dp5dt

Timing: FET 4/12

Testing: beta 4/26

R/R: I'm starting to think it's a cruel joke that my RE scheduled my beta for 14dp5dt. Itso becoming next to impossible not to test. But I have that day off of work so I'm trying really hard to hold out. 

CS/Q:

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)

There is a beautiful new construction house that was built to look like an old farm house in a very cool neighborhood near us and that would definitely be my first purchase. I day dream all the time about holding the winning ticket and immediately calling our realtor.

kaitlink33

Month/Cycle: 6/4 after break

CD/DPO: 25/ 8 or 9?

Timing: ok,but not great

Testing: maybe this weekend 

R/R: I'm sick today, not full blown cols or flu just tired and sore throat and stuffy nose so I decided it's a good day to sit in bed and watch Netflix and crochet lol 

CS/Q:

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) Oh geez....either picking up and buying a new house with farm land or getting a tummy tuck....id love to be rid of all the extra skin from losing weight 

@flashley-2 sorry for spotting:/ 
@georgiagirl3050 and @sjb2215 f2f for both of you!
@Dilynne hope you enjoy your massage!

MJDsquared

Month/Cycle: 13/8

CD/DPO: 35/13

Timing: errday

Testing: AF is due Friday, so Saturday if necessary.

R/R: Raves: I feel nicely sore from Zumba last night. I'm super loving the new gym that's less than a mile from my house. So much more convenient than the gym by work!

CS/Q:

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)
I was all prepared for a responsible answer! I would say either a dream-ish home or a new car. (I purposely answered this before reading everyone else's answers so I wouldn't be tempted to steal other people's answers!)

Mythril

Month/Cycle: 16/12

CD/DPO: 22/4

Timing: -2, 1

Testing: I can't even wrap my head around this.

R/R: It's another day and no AF! 4 days is a new record!

CS/Q: None today. I've got everything crossed and I'm praying!

GTKY: If a house is a responsible answer, then the VR headset for steam. So expensive but I want it so bad!


@georgiagirl3050 Laser hair removal. That's smart, I think that would be my next next splurge. For my chine and upper lip.
@Flashley-2 That really bites and I'm sorry you have to wait.
@sjb2215 Vacation would be awesome. Where would you go first?
@darkrose88 I've always wanted to go to Spain, but so few people every consider it.
@EmilyLove25 Not lame. Because I want a new car, too. And it would probably be something just as practical. I hope your daughter keeps it up!
@kmalls O day or not, those are some respectable timings.
@Dilynne Sleep is for the weak! (No, it's not... I wish I could sleep! Lol)
@labgrand2012 I would like to do a spa day. Everyone is thinking of better splurges than me! This would be my third.
@LaurenEG14 Butterbeer! It sounds so good in the books.
@Pinky917 Woo weekend!

georgiagirl3050

Thanks for the positive thoughts everyone! I have a totally-getting-ahead-of-myself question. Last time I was TTC we were still announcing BFPs on the TWW thread, but I know now there's a separate grad thread. My question is related to how restrictive the grad thread is and the fact that I don't feel like I'm worthy of posting there since I'm only cycle 2. Do I just disappear if it's positive? Feels kinda rude since everyone is being so nice and wishing me luck...

MJDsquared

@georgiagirl3050 Laser hair removal would be amazing. I hate shaving with a passion.
@flashley-2 How did I not think of that GTKY answer? Sorry about impending AF.
@sjb2215 Again, another awesome GTKY answer I didn't think of!
@darkrose88 I hope you're able to finish and pick up your mom!
@EmilyLove25 Yay for more sleep!
@kmalls Ohhh yes a fancy vacation house would be great too!
@Dilynne Boo to not sleeping. I hope the massage helps!
@labgrand2012 Good workouts are the best!
@LaurenEG14 Well now I know that if I ever get KU I need a Harry Potter themed baby shower with butterbeer!
@Pinky917 Seriously, the weekend needs to hurry up.
@JJMNO1616 Every time I see pictures of one of those huts in the Maldives I desperately want to go!
@tamalahoops I imagine that wait must be agonizing. You can do it! And it's nice you'll have that day off!
@kaitlink33 I wish I was sitting in bed watching Netflix. But not the sickness, I'm sorry you're not feeling well!

kaitlink33

Who has the flow chart for @georgiagirl3050?? I forget who made it and I'm too lazy to go digging right now. Was it @LoveInDC?

kaitlink33

@pink917 and @MJDsquared y'all can stop wishing for the weekend to get here soon since I work 12s every day of it. Lol

georgiagirl3050

@kaitlink33 I saw the flow chart and I'm pretty sure I fit in the category of not been around long enough for the grad thread. So then I just disappear to my BMB without saying goodbye? Still feels rude but I'll do it if that's least likely to upset people.

labgrand2012

@JJMNO1616 yes he is.
@MJDsquared I love when gyms are close, making going so much easier! Glad you are enjoying it!

Pinky917

@JJMNO1616 I wouldn't worry to much about the drop. It is totally normal for your temps to fluctuate a bit. I will normally get a random drop or two like that. @tamalahoops Sorry they have you waiting so long for your beta. I'll be rooting for you next week!!! @kaitlink33 Hope you are feeling better soon. And boo to your work schedule!! @Mythril Sorry to still see you here, but happy to see you on the TWW side!

LoveInDC

*lurking* @kaitlink33 That was me!

@georgiagirl3050 We root on everyone who actively participates in the WTO/TWW threads, no matter how long they've been here. Rest assured, if you disappear, the people invested in your story will lurk the BMB and LT your intro. But given that many of us haven't really gotten the chance to know you, there really isn't a need for a long goodbye. FX your pretty chart is right and we see less of you in the future Wishing you the best.

jenotontx

@georgiagirl3050 I can understand why it feels a little rude. I have been hanging out here since Dec TTA because of unemployment reasons and I'm obviously hoping that next month (1/1) will be my month. Even through I have been hanging out here for awhile I know posting a 1/1 or even 2/2 in the grad thread would be hurtful to some ladies so I fully intend to just move onto my BMB (bc I'm tots going to be a SS and get KU right away ya know). A lot of ladies here lurk the BMB as well so they will probably see you and know where you went  I don't think anyone will be offended if you disappear but that's not to say you won't be missed! 

@labgrand2012 So is my DH!

EmilyLove25

@georgiagirl3050 I think it is nice that you asked! I know I would not post on the Grad thread. And just so you know, a lot of people (or am I the only crazy one?) check the Bump Month Clubs to check on who has gotten the BFP if we don't think it would (yet or at that moment) be too personally upsetting (like I don't check on CD1 lol). So I'd still be cheering you along and seeing your results over there if you get it! 

SoraLk

@georgiagirl3050 FX the slight temp rise is a good sign, and this is your cycle!

@flashley-2  Sorry about the spotting =(

@sjb2215 FX your temp stays high!

@darkrose88 Oh no! I hate when things come up at work unannounced that require me to stay late. At least your Husband is sweet enough to pick up your mum. 

@Dilynne Hope the massage helps!

@JJMNO1616 Yay for closing day! Congrats!

Month/Cycle: 13 cycles, 8 TTCAL

CD/DPO:  22 CD, 7 DPO

Timing:  -1, -3, -4

Testing: Maybe this weekend. Otherwise I'll test around Wednesday.

R/R:  My work evaluation went well - yay! 

CS/Q:

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)

If I won the lottery I'd splurge on buying my first house! After that I'd fund my wedding.  

mispanda

@flashley-2 sorry about the spotting, It's the worst!

@darkrose88 that's exactly what I would do with a lottery win.  That vacation sounds amazing!

@EmilyLove25 it's amazing when they sleep through the night!

@Dilynne enjoy your massage Friday!

@labgrand2012 your timing is amazing!

@JJMNO1616 yay for closing day, that's exciting!

@tamalahoops  that is a long wait and I don't know if I could wait that long but you can do it!


Month/Cycle: 13/12 (2/2, 1/1 AL)

CD/DPO: 20/5

Timing: -4,-3,-1, O

Testing: Most likely the 26th

R/R:  I think I was clenching my jaw while I slept last night because I have a few sensitive teeth this morning.  Hopefully it goes away soon because I do not want to have to go see my dentist.  Also weird cramps today and I'm trying not to think about it too much.

CS/Q: nada, no chart this cycle.

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)
I would go on a nice lengthy vacation that included a lot of travel.

shortstack930

P&G because I'm having a rough TTC day...

Month/Cycle: 16/16

CD/DPO: 29/15 (me) 29/14 (FF)

Timing: -5,-2,+1 (me) -3,0FF)

Testing: nope

R/R: I'm just having a rough couple of days. My temp dropped today so I know AF is coming. I just don't know how much longer I can deal with this. I feel like I'm getting depressed and I feel like I'm not being a good mother to the child I already have because I'm always so down in the dumps. Part of me just wants to throw in the towel and just be one and done, as hard as that will be, but the other part of me is just telling myself to hang on until our RE appointment next month. Sigh. 

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) a new car--we only have one right now so a getting a second car would be amazing. 

I'll try to come back later and reply to everyone else's comments. 

labgrand2012

@JJMNO1616 My DH and his family are from Oxford. Where is yours from? 

jenotontx

@labgrand2012 Nottingham, so quite a trek from your H hometown. My BILs are in London now though. 

darkrose88

Good news ladies! I just found out we should by upgrading 6pm, so as the airport it only 25 minutes away, I should be able to pick up my mom after all!  

@JJMNO1616 We found out the week of closing our closing costs, and they were pretty much what we were expecting. Funnily enough though, about a week after the closing, we got a check in the mail for $8 that we overpaid. Goes to show you never really know what your final costs will be!
@shortstack930 Sorry you're having such a rough day!
@labgrand2012 Hey there DPO buddy! like @mispanda said, you're timing was awesome! 
@SoraLk Glad to hear your work eval went well! 

sjb2215

Haha @kmalls and @tamalahoops maybe I should clarify family for parts of the trip, but then also time alone for me and MH! 

@Mythril Australia, southeast Asia (thinking Thailand, Indonesia, Phillippines), Italy, back to Austria/Germany, Ireland, Hawaii. Do I have to pick just one? I've got the travel bug for sure!

@SoraLk glad your evaluation went well!

EmilyLove25

@shortstack930 I am so sorry you are feeling that way. It’s awful. I really do think and hope the RE appointment would help. It’s next month and you might learn a lot and get a better understanding. I think it’s hard when you have no idea why nothing’s happening especially. I’m with you on feeling like a bad mom. I’m that way too when I know AF is coming and definitely on CD1. 

shortstack930

@EmilyLove25 thank you, I've been super emotional today and then big surprise, AF shows up a few minutes ago. You're right that the appointment next month might help me feel better. 

I'll be back in WTO tomorrow ladies, don't follow me!

Augusta108

@georgiagirl3050, hello, 9 DPO buddy! My temps were up a little bit too this morning, fx it's a good sign for both of us!

@flashley-2, sorry about AF sneaking in gradually and dragging things out, that sucks.

@shortstack930, I'm sorry you're having a rough time right now and about CD1's appearance. 

@darkrose88, fingers crossed that by some miracle you get finished at work in time to see your mother! 

@EmilyLove25, I'd love to get a Subaru for my next car. They took over our Saturn dealership when Saturn went out of business (*sob*, still traumatized) and the cars always look so nice! My mother has one and loves it. 

@LaurenEG14, ooh, a Harry Potter themed shower sounds really fun! I've never tried any of the butter beer recipes that are floating around but I really want to at some point.

@JJMNO1616, congratulations on the closing and officially being a homeowner!

@Mythril, the VR headset for Steam is a good thought! That would definitely be a fun splurge!

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: -4, -2

Testing: 12 DPO (Saturday)

R/R: Had a bad migraine yesterday and spent the day sleeping, so very happy to be back on my feet today and once again being a productive member of society. (If only because I need the distractions from obsessing over the TWW!)

CS/Q: Nope, just hoping that I at least have an 11-12 day LP if this isn't the cycle for me.

GTKY: I would love to have LASIK surgery on my eyes, though I get really squeamish about it if I think about it too much...so it would depend on how brave I was feeling! I'd also love to own a vacation home in Scotland or Ireland. (Never mind that we don't own an actual home yet!)

georgiagirl3050

@Augusta108 I had LASIK in 2011 and it is the best money I've ever spent on myself. Definitely do it if you have the opportunity. 

Mythril

@sjb2215 You most certainly don't have to pick just one! I asked because if someone asked me where I wanted to go, I would have no clue! It's interesting to hear where other people want to go.

Seeing as how I'm a little bit into cartoons such as Shin Chan, Mainichi Kaa-San and a few animes, as well as video games from Japan, I think that's where I'd like to go. I want to see the sakura trees blooming and maybe go visit a festival or a shrine.
