GTKY: what's the farthest road trip you've taken?
Re: TWW Monday 5/8
CD/DPO: 46/6
Timing: nothing
Testing: nope
R/R: I woke up around 5 and was struggling to get back to sleep. Then at 6 H sneezed a few times and went into the bathroom. He was in there for a while so our dog started whining at the door. I finally got up at 6:15, 30 mins before my alarm. Grr
CS/Q: I took my temp at 6:15 and its dropped to the coverline. I really hope it's only either because I took it earlier than normal or that I had been awake a while. I hope it's not AF & I'm not going to start spitting because 1) that would make this LP way too short and 2) I'm wearing white pants
GTKY: what's the farthest road trip you've taken? I've driven from FL to VA a bunch with my family when I was younger but once I drove from Long Island to Orlando when my then bf was moving down so about 17 hours
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: not bad
Testing: saturday
R/R: I feel horrible today. I had some GI issues last night and still feeling bad this morning. On a good note, I finally organized my closet yesterday. Its has been driving me insane! I filled 2 trash bags full of clothes to donate, 1 to toss, and 5 tubes of clothes that i dont wear/cant fit into but dont want to toss, seasonal clothes and race shirts. Its so nice to be able to walk in my closet and actually open the drawers to my dresser.
CS/Q: nah
GTKY: i have, on multiple occasions, made the 18hr trip from Texas to Ohio (and vice versa). We als did a trip to montreal (not that long from Ohio) and a trip when we were living in Colorado to Santa Fe and the Grand Canyon. I prefer to fly though.
@purplg8r - sorry about the temp drop. FX its becaus of the sleeping issue

My DH and I went on a northeastern road trip about 5 years ago. We drove from D.C. to Maine, which was about 13 hours I think. When I was younger, we used to drive from Wisconsin to South Dakota and Colorado for vacation.

CD/DPO: 24/9
Timing: -2,-1
Testing: I have my beta on the 11th, the wait got to me so I bought a few to test at home. Nothing for this mornings..
R/R: This morning I decided to try testing at home and was disappointed by a BFN, then *TW* go onto Facebook to find out my cousin is in labor and the baby will be here by lunch... My other cousin is just as far along so now so she can go into labor any day now too. I'm happy for them both, but at the same time I'm hurt. I've been trying for 3 1/2 years and one of them gets it first try and the other on accident. They are both my age as well and it just seems unfair. I'll be moving back home next month so I'll get to see both their babies (one is a boy and the other is a girl) and I'm not sure if I'm ready for that. Especially if this isn't my month either..
CS/Q: none
GTKY: what's the farthest road trip you've taken? I drove from Arkansas to Washington. Such a long drive. It took three days because of all the stops and site seeing.
@justkeepswimming8 So jealous of your purge and organization. I need to do that so bad
@beachbunnyxo123 Sorry for CD 1. All the wine for you
@BertieMeetsGertie I can only imagine how sore you are today! Wow!
@flashley-2 Hope your headache GTFO soon! And the rain stops
@WillRunForWine21 FX you don't catch that strep
@blackrose-3 I am so sorry for the BFN and all the *TW babies being born TW* around you. You have every right to feel all the emotions now. Hugs

@WillRunForWine21 yikes, I hope it isn't Strep! If it is, please, please the antibiotics that are prescribed. If it goes untreated for too long, it can lead to other complications. Take care, friend!
@blackrose-3 sorry about the impending influx of babies in your family. I know it's very difficult.
@beachbunnyxo123 shit. Sorry lady.

________________________________
@purplg8r ugh, I also had a poor night of sleep thanks to our dog and DH. And, FX you don't ruin your white pants!
@justkeepswimming8 way to go organizing your closet! That always feels so great.
@BertieMeetsGertie hey at least you got plenty of exercise!
@flashley-2 sorry for the headache
@WillRunForWine21 at least we get to be cycle buddies for a day! Sorry you're feeling crummy, though.
@beachbunnyxo123 ugh, sorry girl. I'll be following you shortly.
@blackrose-3 It's awful how unfair and painful TTC can be, and I can totally related to how you're feeling. So. Many. Random. BFPs around me lately. But, FX so hard for you!
@RVAmom315 I usually squeeze in a little bump time too, even when I desperately need to get stuff done.
@WillRunForWine21 Strep is like a flashback for me - I used to get strep more than once a year as a kid and once as an adult which was the worst case I ever had (mostly because I thought it was a cold for days on end until my throat closed up). I hope you don't have it
@justkeepswimming8 I am so impressed that you organized your closet! My clothes are everywhere right now and I really need to do that.
@flashley-2 I'm sorry for the headache
@blackrose-3 I'm sorry, it really sucks that you are surrounded by fertility unicorns. TTC is so incredibly unfair.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 18/5
Timing: -4, -3, -2, -1, O
Testing: Haven't thought about it yet but will try to hold out as long as I can...
R/R: I am feeling a little overwhelmed by work and responsibilities at the moment - so much so I feel a little paralyzed but I need to get over it.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: what's the farthest road trip you've taken? Road trip implies fun, the longest driving trip I've taken was from Gainesville, FL to northern RI but it wasn't for fun. For fun I have been on many road trips but I'll go ahead and say our honeymoon road trip. We traveled from SE Tennessee to Charleston, SC, Myrtle Beach, and then Asheville, NC.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 26/12
Timing: -4, -3, -1, +1
Testing: Daily...but still getting those lovely BFNs. AF is due Thursday.
R/R: It's Monday... LOL
CS/Q: My temp hit the CL and is a hair above it now. I'm sure AF will be here soon.
GTKY: what's the farthest road trip you've taken? My parents were afraid of flying, so we used to drive EVERYWHERE! Every year we would take a roadtrip (or AmTrack) from San Diego to Chicago. Then from there, we would go visit other relatives in other Midwestern states. It was fun then, but I don't know if I have the patience for it now.
purplg8r – sorry about the temp drop. I’m right there with you…it stinks. But I’m hoping yours is because of the timing. FX that’s all it is.
@justkeepswimming8 – sorry you’re not feeling well…but YAY for purging your closet. Doesn’t it feel good to get organized?? I love it!
@BertieMeetsGertie – Wow! You really did a lot of physical labor… be sure to be kind to yourself today for recovery.
@flashley-2 – sorry for the headache! I think next to toothaches and stomachaches, they’re the worst! Try drinking some alkaline water – that always helps with my headaches. Feel better soon!
@WillRunForWine21 – Ugh… strep is the worst! I’m prone to it for some reason. FX it’s not too serious, but be sure to get it checked out!
@beachbunnyxo123 – I may be joining you over at WTO in the next couple of days. AF is due Thursday and I’m getting BFN’s so far….
blackrose-3 – so sorry for your BFN… I know it’s hard {{hugs}}
RVAmom315 – I would gladly come help you! I’m sitting here at work wanting to cry because I have NOTHING to do and I’m so incredibly bored (which I hate with a passion).
@lund – Sorry for the BFN
zamora_spin - I know the feeling… It’s like when you have so much to do but can’t get anything done. Super frustrating.
@lund Sorry for the BFN. Hopefully just too early.
@justkeepswimming8 I have visions of me cleaning out my closet. I came close to doing it this weekend. Good for you for getting it done.
@BertieMeetsGertie 150 2x4s AND yard work, wow! I would say you got your workout in for the week!
@Stargazer1lily glad your trip is coming together
@flashley-2 hoping that headache goes away soon. that sounds miserable.
@WillRunForWine21 FX it is NOT strep. that is the worst.
@blackrose-3 so many hugs to you from an internet stranger. I hope your day gets a little better
@RVAmom315 & @zamora_spin sometimes the best way to deal with being overwhelmed is to take a step back...and bump! Hope you make it though the day and get done what you need to.
@KariAnn323 I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs friend.
@lund sorry for the bfn
@ladybugsamom sorry about the temp drop and the bfn
Month/Cycle: 7
CD/DPO: 30/13
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing: nope
R/R: well I'm still hanging here with you ladies, but the spotting has been going on for 5 days now, so I expect AF any day, I'm at that point where I'm like can we just get this over with so I can start another cycle. I completely forgot to make something for breakfast and we were out of granola bars. Not a good way to start the week.
CS/Q: my temp dipped yesterday (.20), but went back up today. It may have to do with the fact that DH got up 2 hours earlier and my sleep was a bit disturbed when I temped at my "regular" time.
GTKY: what's the farthest road trip you've taken? My family didn't fly when I was a kid, so we did several long road trips. Most of them were 3 days driving (stopping at night) and then we would spend a week or 2 at our destination and then turn around and head home, but in the summer we would make stops on the way home and spend a few days. My DH and I have done 14 hour trips a few times. We really want to do PCH but he wants to start in Seattle and drive all the way to San Diego, that would probably require more time than we can take off, so we may split it into 2 different trips.

CS/Q: nope.
GTKY: what's the farthest road trip you've taken?
Oh man. I used to do USA tours with drum and bugle corps so I don't even know if I know the answer to this but I have done Florida to Michigan before.
@ladybugsamom -- That was my dad. He was afraid of flying even though he flew helicopters in the Navy. So we frequently drove to NY and NC to see family.
@lund (hugs)
@beachbunnyxo123 sorry, friend
@WillRunForWine21-- YES. THIS. My throat hurt a lot last week and then got better but now I have everything else like sneezing, nasty boogers, cough, etc. WTF. You're a teacher too?
DH: 30
TTC #2 Since April 2017
CD/DPO: 25/8
Timing: TI so great!
Testing: every day to see the trigger shot fade and come back FX
R/R: people who don't struggle to get pregnant don't understand that I can't just make vacation plans bc I need to be near my clinic for monitoring...ughhhh
CS/Q: what are your 7dpo progesterone levels like? A newb asked it in the main page and I happened to get mine today and it was +50, last time was 28. I wanted to compare a bit. I'm surprised at the big jump but I guess it varies between different cycles. Honestly, I needed to hear that bc I needed some positivity that o was good this cycle
GTKY: what's the farthest road trip you've taken?
Ontario to Florida... I could go for some Florida right now
----------------------------------------
@purplg8r - omg, I hate mornings! MH wakes up at 4:30 for work and I love when he kisses me goodbye but I hate being woken up before my alarm! I hope it's an early rise that caused the lower temp, FX.
@justkeepswimming8 - Montreal? How awesome. I was there once when we were 18 because the legal drinking age is lower there then in Ontario.
@BertieMeetsGertie - it soreness will all be worth it when u have a finished basement, that's what it was for right?
@Stargazer1lily - which city did you go to in Ontario? Niagara Falls or Toronto by chance?
@flashley-2 - I'm sorry you have a headache, probably due to the weather. Rain sucks!!!!
@willrunforwine21 - I hope you aren't getting sick, especially in May when the weather is *supposed* to be nicer
@beachbunnyxo123 - sorry to hear
*tw*
@blackrose-3 - we're in the same boat, 3rd medicated cycle with an RE and my BFF is prego
*tw* end
@RVAmom315 - I also have so much to do and found out more is coming but MH's family is coming near a deadline and I don't give a $hit!!! Screw work!
@KariAnn323 - Look at all those amazing Canadian cities you visited! Woohoo. Canadian pride here
@lund - That image was slightly terrifying lol
@zamora_spin - how do you jot think about testing? I swear in a poas addict!
@ladybugsamom - FX the temp was a fluke and AF doesn't show up
@Avrilmai - FX the spotting ends without AF
@garnetandgoldgrace - sorry you're not feeling so good. Hopefully it goes away quickly
came back through New York state to Niagara falls we stopped in Toronto for a hockey game before coming back to Sudbury. I would love to go on another long trip like that.
Month/Cycle: 19/19
CD/DPO: 22/8
Timing: is everything!
Testing: 4 more sleeps
R/R: Ultrasound today for my thyroid. Another test box marked. Waiting results again. You would think by the time you get KU, this process would make you an expert at waiting.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: what's the farthest road trip you've taken? from Tyler, TX to Seattle, Washington with a side trip to Arkansas. It was almost 50 hours driving straight through.
@purpleg8r Hope you get to go to bed early tonight to make up for the lost sleep this morning!
@justkeepswimming8 Hope you feel better! Way to organize!
@BertieMeetsBertie Dang I still can’t believe how many 2x4s you guys carried!
@flashley-2 Hope the headache goes away!
@WillRunForWine21 I hope it isn’t strep! I have been doing research on fertility friendly antibiotics, so I know there are some but I haven’t taken them.
@blackrose-3 Sorry for the BFN! It is hard to be surrounded by babies being born. Hope when you move back they are supportive of where you are at with TTC. FX for the beta!
@RVAmom315 Ugh work! Hope your workday was productive. I am back home now after work, but procrastinating on my workload for tonight.
@KariAnn323 I think we are testing buddies this month! Hope the preps for the service go well today!
@lund Sorry for the BFN! What is your plan for next cycle, if that is where you end up? (I ask because you mentioned SS, was wondering if you have a new plan)
@zamora_spin hope you get the motivation to tackle the workload instead of it tackling you!
@ladybugsamom Sorry for the continued BFNs!
@Avrilmai Sorry that your cycle is not behaving!
@garnetandgoldgrace My family used to do the drum and bugle corps too!
@tryingfor1st FX for the testing! Is it hard to see the positives for the trigger, or how do you handle? I have been waiting for one for so long, and next cycle will be doing trigger again, so I debating doing the test it out.
@ramzlau - I find testing every day much better then holding out and waiting. The line keeps getting lighter but it is very frustrating seeing the vvvvvvvvf line for the last few days and I feel like I can relax once it's gone so I can go back to hoping for one.
ETA: (from the trigger)
eta wrong cycle number
I use the easy@home ones
@lund Your RE appointment is so close (yet still so far away), still plenty of time to be a SS
@tryingfor1st I will keep thinking about it
@BertieMeetsGertie try taking a hot Epsom salt bath!
@flashley-2 I get killer headaches too. I hope by now it's gone and you're feeling better!
@WillRunForWine21 noo! Strep is the worst! FX you don't have it!
@Stargazer1lily sometimes things work out
@beachbunnyxo123 so sorry for cd1! Hugs!
@blackrose-3 hope it's just too early for a BFP.
@RVAmom315 I'm sorry you're overwhelmed
@KariAnn323 I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.
@lund so sorry about Bfn. I wish we were all SS here.
@zamora_spin are you from Gainesville?
@ladybugsamom ugh. Sorry about your temp drop.
@Avrilmai ugh. Spotting sucks
@garnetandgoldgrace I hope you feel better!
@tryingfor1st people who don't struggle to TTC don't understand a lot unfortunately
@ramzlau waiting is the worst!
