WAYDTGKU: OPKs, PNVs, checking CM and CP, temping, all the sex
R/R: Rave: There's some nice weather finally in the forecast!
CS/Q: My OPK was aaaalmost positive this morning and cervix is really soft. CM is still creamy though. It would be nice if I O'd a bit earlier this time. Sigh...

I'm not huge into makeup. I usually just wear some concealer, mascara, brow pencil, and eyeshadow. I got some face powder recently that I like. All Clinique products.

R/R: I'm glad it's the weekend. I'm hoping to make it a productive one. I've been trying to only post in the dailies when I know I'll have time to be engaged. I do lurk even when I'm not posting though.
CS/Q: My body seems to be doing the whole fake out O thing like it did during my last cycle when I O'd on CD30. All signs pointed to O on Wednesday-ish and now the CM is dried up, but no temp spike. Like @doxiemoxie212 so eloquently said, I'm WTMFO.
GTKY: I'm not big on make-up. There was a huge make-up thread that we had awhile back that I was not able to contribute anything to! I like the wash-off/waterproof mascara from Avon and the pink and green tube of Maybelline mascara.
Eta too many letters.

R/R: I have this one co-worker who comes to work with a horrible attitude everyday. No one will say anything to her because "that's just how she is." I've been on edge since AF got here because I, unfortunately, suffer from PMDD vs. PMS and it's taking all of my power and Gods grace for me not to completely go off on her right now! I keep telling myself only 3 more days and AF will be gone and I my tolerance level will go back to normal.
CS/Q: None today
GTKY: What are your top 5 favorite makeup products? Be as specific as possible. 1. Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation. 2. Two Faced Better Than Sex mascara. 3. MAC Ruby Woo lipstick. 4. Anastasia Brow Wiz. 5. Bath & Body Works Vanillamint lipshine.
@pebbledam ugh. I had a fakeout this past cycle and it's so annoying!!
@doxiemoxie212 yay for getting to see your puppy!

WAYDTGKU: benched but temping & taking PNVs and CoQ10
R/R: we saw the new fireworks called Happily Ever After at magic kingdom last night (and I went the night before to see the last show of the Wishes fireworks the night before). It was crazy both nights but last night was definitely worse. But the atmosphere was so fun!! Today I'm debating driving home to take my mom to lunch tomorrow. My dad is out of town so we were gonna do it at a later date but I still might drive up there.
CS/Q: only 11 more days until I can TTC again. I'm glad last cycle was so long because that means we can try on this cycle (if my cycles had been the same we would have just missed FW) but I'm hoping it's not as long this time. But now I'm in a predicament. If my cycle goes back to what it was, and I don't get KU, then AF will be during the beach week with H's family. If my cycle stays as long, then FW is during that beach week when we're sharing a house with his 15 family members. Ugh.
GTKY: What are your top 5 favorite makeup products? Be as specific as possible. I wear makeup every day but it's just natural looking. Either cover girl foundation & then an eyeliner. Or if it needs to be nicer, bare minerals concealer, foundation, bronzer, and the finishing powder

@ladybugsamom - Good luck getting through work today without murdering the terrible co-worker.
@starla - I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets behind on the dailies. It's nice that there's so much support and love going around, though. FX you O earlier this cycle (without any pesky fake outs)!
@doxiemoxie212 - Are you more excited to see your puppy or your mom?

@starla I'm with you on the OPK this morning! I'll probably take another tonight to see. We were already going to start EOD today so it'd be good timing!
@pebbledam hopefully your body gets it together soon!
@doxiemoxie212 enjoy your time with your mom!
@ladybugsamom oh girl good luck!! I hope she survives lol
@purplg8r yay for getting back into it!!! I wouldn't normally wish this...but I'm hoping you have AF on vacation. Bc FW could make things awkward, but hey...do what you gotta do!! I know I'd be down for getting shit done but my husband wouldn't.
Month/Cycle: 11/12
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: EOD starting today until a positive which i thiiiiiink may be tonight or tomorrow. Green tea and going to be buying a pineapple on my shopping trip today. Temp, OPKs.
R/R: it is soooooo crappy out today!! But I treated myself and got a gel mani and Starbucks (green tea latte for the vag) and it is nice! I literally never do anything for myself so it felt good to get out and just have some me time!
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are your top 5 favorite makeup products? Be as specific as possible.
I don't even know I use 5 things.
I use revlon eye liner. Just the pencil you twist and whatever mascara (L'Oréal voluminous superstar is my current one) along with a lash curler most days.
If I'm going out I throw some urban decay eye shadow into the mix. I'm fancy
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD: 22
WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, BBT, OPKs, morosely drinking green tea and staring out the window
R/R: Thought I was on track to O earlier this week but my body had other plans. Temps are down, CM has dried up, and I guess the wait continues! This week has been such a roller coaster of TTC emotions, especially since DH is still working that dratted OT and can't be here to HIO every time it seems like it might be a good idea. At least I'm channeling my frustration into energy for cleaning the apartment and it's looking a lot better than it did on Monday!
CS/Q: I'm wondering if all my work stress this week delayed ovulation. Is that a thing? I mean, it's not like "trapped in a war-torn country" levels of stress but I was definitely on edge a lot of the time...probably just grasping for answers that aren't there, though.
GTKY: I'm also not a make-up girl. Sometimes I wear concealer and mascara. I honestly don't care what brand they are. *shrug*
@starla and @pebbledam, I agree about the dailies. It's great that the board is so active and I love reading everyone's posts even when I'm lurking, but it is tough to keep up as an active participant sometimes when I don't have time to post until late in the day.
@pebbledam, ugh, I'm sorry your body is also doing the O fakeout thing. I was so hopeful for both of us earlier this week!
@doxiemoxie212, I hope you have a great visit with your mom and your dog! Dachshunds are so cute! (Though I just learned that apparently I cannot spell "Dachshund" without help.)
@ladybugsamom, I have a coworker like that too, I'm sorry she's been stressing you out. It's rough when you're trapped at work and can't escape obnoxious people.
@purplg8r, I loved the fireworks at Disney when I went! Seeing them two nights in a row would be so much fun. And I've also been doing the "how will my vacations align with my cycles" calculations...we'll be sharing a small cabin with DH's family a week in August so HIO will definitely not be an option if FW falls during that time! (Though I keep teasing him that if his mom wants a grandchild as much as she says she does, she should be totally supportive of whatever we need to do...)
@50Wife, I'm glad you were able to treat yourself to the mani and Starbucks! Sometimes little things like that can make a big difference mood-wise.
@LadyMillil, I hope your cold gets better soon!
@pebbledam I'm with you on posting in the dailies. Some days are busier and I don't have time to bump as much and respond to everyone, do I just do all the lurking and love titing.
@doxiemoxie212 Yay for a mom visit! Enjoy it!
@ladybugsamom Ugh- I can't with chronic bad attitude-ers. Like, yes, everyone has bad days and sometimes it's not a choice. Sometimes it is though and you just have to suck it up. Especially in a professional setting.
@purplg8r I'm so jealous that you got to see both fireworks shows. We went to Disney on our honeymoon (my first and only time going there) and it was so magical! I cried like a baby during the fireworks!
@50Wife Yay for treating yourself to a gel manicure on a crappy weather day. Lol at green tea latte for the vag. Good thinking!
Sorry about your cold @LadyMillil. Rest up and feel better!

WAYDTGKU: TTA this first full cycle AL, BBT, CM, PNV
R/R: DH is home this weekend and I'm having the best day so far! We went to breakfast and then went and got some cool planters that I've had my eye on. Now I'm laying in bed getting my chill on. We'll probably finish up some more wallpaper removal around here. Dinner is going to be yummy sushi that we picked up when we were out earlier.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are your top 5 favorite makeup products? Be as specific as possible. I never really wear makeup. When I do for regular stuff, I like natural feeling products. Tarte gel cheek stain, bare minerals well rested under eye brightener, bare minerals mineral veil, maybelline great lash mascara, and duwop lip venom lip plumper.
@starla Hope you O soon! At least you have some nice weather in the meantime.
@ladybugsamom I so hate when people give someone a "pass" on being an a terrible person b/c that's "just the way he/she is". Like, maybe they should be less like that--why do we always accommodate the assholes in our lives!?
@purplg8r Sorry for CD 1
@kbamomma33 we're doing sushi today too!
Month/Cycle: 14/12

WAYDTGKU: Does any of it even matter anymore???
R/R: My internet is being an asshole so I'm mobile bumping now, which I hate doing. We are taking it easy this weekend, maybe a short hike. Just sitting around mostly though cursing my body for refusing to O.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are your top 5 favorite makeup products? Be as specific as possible. I'm sorta crunchy, and MH doesn't like makeup, so not a lot. A little eyeliner sometimes and unless I'm going to something fancy that's it. When I do wear make up 95% of it is organic, from Tarte. I check every make up product I buy against this database for carcinogens and other hazards --if you're interested in checking yours out: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/browse.php?category=foundation&impurity=726336
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: Ice cream, wallowing, and puppy snuggles oh and wine
R/R: Beware for a really sappy post. DH is so amazing. So we run a convention every March so we (mainly me) felt like we shouldn't try cycle 9 or 10 just because of EDD timing. After I told him that AF showed up we talked about our plan for this cycle. DH said that we want a baby so we should keep trying. Me being the obsessive planner that I am was like well how will we make it all work. DH said that he had no idea but we and what we want comes first. I'm so lucky to have him.

R/R: We have some people over on Fridays to play board games and I never get to bed at a decent hour. This is the second Saturday in a row that I haven't taken my temperature! I'm hoping for some follicles next Wednesday and although I'm not expecting much because of my temps I'm trying my hardest not to be pessimistic.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Everything that I wear is from Julep. I really like their stuff. In no particular order:
1. "Don't leave you brows at home" in cool brown
2. High Impact Mascara
3. Eye Shadow 101 in many colors. The stick makes it so convenient.
4. Their whipped mousse lipsticks. Love them so much.
5. Skip the Brush blush in Desert Rose
They just announced their foundation for sale and I've been waiting since they took a survey about it. Unfortunately it won't be in the maven boxes until August and I'm not willing to drop 30$ on it.

@KariAnn323 I'm sorry about CD 1. I know you've been worried about that con and that is so sweet of YH, and he's totally right! You can figure it out!
I posted this in TWW too but no, it's ok **TW** because of the ectopic & Methotexate in February, we're not allowed to try again until May 24th. It would have been bad if we had gotten KU. There can be birth defects if I got pregnant less than 3 months after the shot so we had to use condoms. I was just hoping for a longer LP (I bled for 80 days so this was my first cycle after the loss. I spent over a hundred days in WTO so when I finally O'd again I moved over to TWW ) **end TW**
@50Wife H doesn't care, but I'm like your hubby!! And yay for treating yourself--you totally deserve it!!
@LadyMillil I hope you feel better!!
@Augusta108 I could be wrong but I think Amy stress can affect you. FX O cones soon!!
@doxiemoxie212 I always love to see puppy pics! And your puppy is so cute!!!
@kbamomma33 yay for H being home & having a great day!!
@vflux33 ugh! I'm sorry your ovaries aren't cooperating! FX you O soon!
@KariAnn323 hey there cd buddy. Im happy about mine but I'm so sorry you got cd1 today. And I'm glad H is being so sweet & supportive.
@Mythril what board games do you guys play?
@Augusta108 I missed your question when I was on mobile before. The answer is YES, definitely. You don't need to be trapped in a war-torn country to have stress-delayed O. Some people are resilient when it comes to stress and Oing, but others are not. I'm in the "not" category as well and I get EWCM patches all the time. I have way longer cycles when I am stressed about anything, and in the grand scheme of things my life is pretty cushy. It's annoying as hell and it makes me feel guilty that I'm "making it worse" by my attitude, but other than that I've been told it's not uncommon.
1. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (the best, and I mix two colors for the bags under my eyes).
2. Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Eye Shadow Palette. I switch up my makeup fairly often but that is one that i just can't quit.
3.Diorshow Maximizer 3D Triple volume plumping lash primer - Put that on your lashes before applying mascara. Its not fibrous like other mascaras out there because fibers fall in my eyes and then I rub my eyes all day.
4.Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Mother is a really pretty Rosey Mauve color. Its matte so I feel like those are best worn in the fall/winter time but this color could be worn year round.
**edited because spelling is hard.

It is is kind of funny that if it is indeed stress from this week's crazy work drama that disrupted my cycle, the coworker causing all the drama is also the one who constantly hounds me about when I'm going to get pregnant!

@Augusta108 that is pretty funny, yeah. Overall, been definitely struggling with that myself and trying to let more "roll off" or whatever. I don't know if you have sleep issues along with stress or wake up replaying conversations in your head at night like I do, but one thing that's helped me to naturally stress less is practicing sleep hygiene. MH and I both turn off our phones and computers by 8PM, we don't talk about stressful things after 8, stuff like that. Don't know if that helps, but maybe?
@KariAnn323 I need to start making cold teas to continue this like I was saying yesterday, but before it started warming up I was having RRLT before O, and decaf Green Tea (sometimes caf) throughout my cycle. Other people seem to have more "advanced" tea schedules though.
@KariAnn323 Sorry about CD1.
@purplg8r Sorry I didn't know is that either!
