R/R: I caught my industrial earring on my hair brush this weekend and since it was still bothering me, I took it out yesterday to give my ear a rest. Well that backfired and I had to go in to get help putting it back in and now it hurts worse than it did yesterday.
CS/Q:My ovaries and I aren't on speaking terms right now.
GTKY: For me, I do all the recycling and fuss at DH about what is recyclable. He would just put everything in the landfill. He makes the bed (only on the weekends since we essentially hot bunk during the week) and that is something I never did when I lived by myself!

R/R: Rant- My CM entries in FF go like this: dry, dry, dry, dry, etc.
Rave- My dad's coming to visit this afternoon because the home inspection on his new house (that will be just 10 mins away from us!) is today.
CS/Q: Not right now.
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it?
DH is really good about helping with housework when he is home, so I really can't think of anything for the first question. DH does do all the yard work though, so I would probably have to pay someone to do it if he didn't. I loathe yard work and our yard is huge and a PIA to mow (at least for me).
@kbamomma33 yay for getting to see your dad & having him move so close!
@LadyMillil yay for the follies!!

WAYDTGKU: benched but temping & taking PNVs & CoQ10
R/R: sleeeepy! So H and I got married at the Wedding Pavillion at Disney. For the guests to sit on, there were these fancy benches with hearts cut out of the end. One of my fav wedding pictures is taken through the heart. Well recently, they completely renovated the Pavillion. And a friend found where they are selling the benches. They only have a few left & a lot of friends that got married there are trying to get them. H is going right at opening to try to buy us one! I would love to have that part of our wedding in our house!
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it? The towels & sheets would never get washed if I stopped & the lawn would never get done if H stopped
@purplg8r Oh wow, how neat about the bench! I really hope that YH is able to get one for you guys!
@LadyMillil - i'm with you on the cooking thing. H only knows how to heat up frozen food - pizza, chicken nuggets, fish sticks.
@pebbledam I'm with @kbamomma33, what is hot bunking? I'm tempted to google it... but I'm at work and it sounds super NSFW... LOL
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: vitamins, opks, bbt, cm sometimes
R/R: rant - feeling really burnt out between work and life. second guessing timing of ttc. rave - went for a run last night with my doggie and kiddo. ran farther than i EVER (literally ever) have. They both have so much energy that it keeps me motivated to push myself. May have found the magical combination to get my ass out the house.
CS/Q: thought i felt o-pain yesterday but it's awfully early... it's lefty's turn this month, and she's a trouble maker that like to cause lots of aches. i think i'll start opks tonight.
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it?
omg the list to answer the first question is way too freaking long (reasons for the rant). Even the tasks that H completes, I'm the one to manage and assign/remind.
To the second question - the dogs would stopped getting worked. He trains them for field competitions, which I have no interest in. They'd still get walks, runs, and games of fetch, but I have no use for them running double/triple blinds in real life.
edit - this is hard to admit...but knowing right from left is hard.

@kbamomma33 exciting! How far away is your dad now before the move??
@LadyMillil my husband would also only eat out if I weren't around!
@purplg8r I hope you guys can get a bench!! So cool
WAYDTGKU: EOD, temps, OPKs, prenatals
R/R: semi-annoyed at my body this morning. My temp skyrocketed. It went up over a degree. I was hoping for a slight increase to hopefully confirm O if I missed it with my OPKs and I got the complete opposite. Consider me frustrated
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it?
my husband wouldn't cook, or fold clothes, or do a lot of cleaning.
The poor cats litter would probably never get cleaned though if my husband wasn't around.
@purplg8r wow, that would be so cool! I hope your H is able to snag one!
Month/Cycle: 11/13

WAYDTGKU: same things I always do, but clearly that's not working.
R/R: welp, no Hawaii BFP for me. I was really sad on Friday last week. I'm not a very emotional person, but I ended up crying while doing laundry of all things. My DH was great and just held me for a while. I know this is really hard on him too, but he won't express it. I'm giving us two more cycles before we go in for testing. I might be less active on here, partially because I'm just so damn frustrated and over it. Anyway, sorry for the DD...
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it?
I do all the cooking, shopping, and a vast majority of the cleaning. He pays the bills, mows the lawn, etc.

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, BBT, HIO, CM, Progesterone after O
R/R: So my boss at the contracting company has a meeting with the program manager and chief engineer of the project I'm on at the aerospace firm today at 9am (central). There are five contractors that work on the program, and the meeting is to discuss who has an exception and who will still be on furlough. Right now I think it's 50/50 whether or not I have an exception. The furloughs usually have end dates, but this one doesn't so I have half a dozen jobs that I apply for already to go on my laptop. Wish me luck ladies!
CS/Q: For those of you in the US, how have you dealt with changing jobs in the middle of TTC since FMLA doesn't kick in until after you've worked somewhere for a year? I don't like the idea of TTA, but I also don't like the idea of having to go back to work as soon as my vacation/sick time run out.
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it?
The bathrooms would never get cleaned again if I stopped doing it. Dusting, mopping, vacuuming, and washing the sheets probably wouldn't happen either. I with @kbamomma33, without DH I would have to hire someone to take care of all of the lawn care.

WAYDTGKU: Tracking my cycle, cm sometimes, vitamins
R/R: Rave, It's CD1! Probably the one and only time I will ever be excited to get my period. For real though because Rant, without birth control my periods are excruciating. The doctors can't find a reason for it but I basically just live in bed/on the couch for a day or two curled up with a heating pad and the strongest pain meds I can get my hands on.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it?
I'm with @AliW220 on this one. SO many things wouldn't get done if I weren't around. If FI weren't around I probably never would have had my vision checked. Basically I would do the chores he does but I'm horrible about going to what I consider non-necessary medical appointments (dentist, eye doctor, etc.) and he makes sure I do those things.
@kbamomma33 - Have you tried EPO during your follicular phase? That might help with the dryness.
@purplg8r - OMG, I am keeping all my fingers crossed for you right now! That bench would be a magical addition to your home!! And I feel like it could be a symbol of the time you were benched coming to an end.

WAYDTGKU: OPK, PNV, checking CM and CP, yelling at my ovaries, sex
R/R: Rant: see below.
CS/Q: Two more high temps and I get CH on CD13, which is early for me. I've had two shorter cycles since tracking (27 and 29 days), but that was right after Mirena removal so I don't know if that had something to do with it. Hahahaha who am I kidding? It'll probably be 1-2 weeks before I O. Everything is fucky.
GTKY: Dishes and cat litter would never get done. A bunch of yard work would probably never get done if DH stopped doing it. I help him, but he inspires me. I wouldn't do as much on my own.
Edit: typo.

now I have an over abundance of squash plants to plant. I suppose I could give some away
or just plant them outside the greenhouse.
CS/Q:nope
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it?
Dishes wouldn`t get done if I stop doing them.
Anything mechanical wouldn`t work if H stop fixing it.
@pebbledam I had something similar happen, the ball on my tongue ring broke and I left it out over night
when I tried to put a new one in it hurt for a few days so I just took it out .
Aw, @BertieMeetsGertie I'm so sorry about the lack of BFP and the crying. Big hugs girl.

WAYDTGKU: all the things
R/R: my mom gets in tomorrow, so I need to do laundry like crazy today, but most importantly, I need to FOLD laundry like crazy, not just let it sit in a pile on the guest bed!
CS/Q: No, I mean, I posted in the chart stalk thread. FF gave me crosshairs, but I think they're fake, so I'm staying here a few days,
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it? Hm... well, now that I'm home every day, I do most of the cleaning. So, like, nearly everything. But I do not take out the trash, so if DH stopped doing that it would just pile up.
I just went through and added temps for a week and i didn't even get dotted CHs. Just nothing lining up for O at this point in my cycle...
Good luck @KariAnn323
@BertieMeetsGertie I'm sorry you didn't get your Hawaii BFP. We were all rooting for you. FX it happens even if it's in a boring, at home, doing it missionary style way.
@doxiemoxie212 OMG I hate folding laundry, too. It's the worst chore. I hope you get real CH soon!

@starla - I giggled when I saw that you've been yelling at your ovaries. I tried that and have moved on to the silent treatment.
@Stargazer1lily - I think it's safe to say your squash seeds were good!
@doxiemoxie212 - I agree with @BusinessWife's analysis of your chart.
@KariAnn323 - The pregnant women at the places I have worked were still able to take unpaid time off for maternity leave. It was just arranged with the department manager. I definitely think you should keep TTC especially since YH was so sweet about not wanting to take a break.

WAYDTGKU: FET
R/R: my last bcp is tomorrow, which means I'll have AF while I'm on my girls trip this weekend. So that's a bummer, but atleast it means the FET will be that much closer!
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it?
Laundry, or making the beds
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, CM, will start POAS around CD13
R/R: Rant: current mood
Rave: Since I've been having a rough week, I finally decided to contact some fellow horse people in my area to see if I can find a horse to ride. It's a really long story, but I'm an avid equestrian, and had to sell my horse after moving to ND. I'm a much happier person when I have horses in my life, but buying another isn't an option right now, so I started messaging some area barns and it looks like I might finally be back in the saddle soon. This will be great for my well-being AND for my fitness! @flashley-2 will be able to appreciate this
CS/Q: nope, new thermometer should get here today
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it? Bathrooms would never get cleaned, healthy food wouldn't get made, and the dog wouldn't go on nearly as many walks. And, like @purplg8r, the sheets and towels would never get washed, which is gross. If my SO stopped doing it, I'd probably never clean the garage, and the yard work would definitely suffer.
_____________________________
@pebbledam ... I have no idea what an industrial earring is lol.
@kbamomma33 hydration definitely helps with CM production. Try to drink tons of water! And, I loathe yard work too.
@LadyMillil yay! Grow follies grow!!!
@AliW220 way to go with the running! I've started back with run/walk intervals, and at the moment I can't fathom running for more than 2 minutes at a time without walk breaks lol.
@50Wife sorry for the confusing temp situation! Hopefully you get clarity within the next couple of days.
@BertieMeetsGertie ugh, so sorry friend. I'm glad YH was there for you when you needed him. I'm only one cycle behind you, so we might be going in for testing around the same time!
@kariann323 FX for your job situation!
@starla FX you actually O early!
@doxiemoxie212 folding laundry is the worst! This is me:
@heatherdubrow I hope your girls weekend is fun even with AF! And, one more step closer to the FET is exciting!
@kbamomma33 Sorry YH's work keeps taking him away, but that is great about your dad.
@LadyMillil Yay for follies!
@purplg8r That would be so cool to own a piece of your wedding like that!
@AliW220 Do ovaries alternate? I thought that wasn't true now I'm confused!
@50Wife Sorry for the temp frustrations.
@BertieMeetsGertie I'm so sorry. I felt similar to you right before I got testing done--I had been so good about not losing my shit and being emotional about it and then one night I couldn't sleep and just cried all night. Hope nothing is wrong and that you guys just need more time
@KariAnn323 I'm sorry to hear about the job situation. GL with your applications and/or not getting slapped with furlough!
@SkilledSailor I get horrible AF cramps too and also never found a cause for them, though mine have improved a bit over the last few years I used to actually throw up from the pain. People who don't get cramps just don't get it! Hope you feel better soon. I found exercise right before I get AF helps me (don't know if that means it will help you but may be worth a shot).
@starla Yes, fucky indeed!
@heatherdubrow Yay for stopping BCP!
Month/Cycle: 14/12

WAYDTGKU: who the fuck cares.
R/R: I've been getting a little bit of EWCM here and there mostly EOD for weeks. But this morning I got a lot. Could it be?? Could I be Oing soon?? AGH! Still got that table at Señor Nopo's tonight, but will keep peeing on OPKs twice a day until the end of time.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it? Cooking on weeknights wouldn't happen without me. We'd eat out pretty much every night or have tasteless food. If he didn't do it, garbage would never ever be taken out, ever.
@vflux33 Is your doc offering you Provera given that you're headed into a medicated cycle? I have authorization to take Provera CD35 (Wednesday) if I didn't O (which, surprise surprise, I didn't). Either way, FX your body figures itself out and you can move on ASAP!
@vflux33 - My nose piercing closed up when I had the nose ring out for a day! Grr! And please will you ovulate already!!!?? Señor Nopo has got to be tired of you by now!

CS/Q:
GTKY: What is something that would never get done at home if you stopped doing it? What would never get done if your SO stopped doing it? I actually think that I’m the issue when it comes to cleaning so probably grocery shopping. DH would eat out of cans or from frozen meals if I wasn’t around but I also don’t cook that much either. I feel like DH would do so much better without me actually lol I wouldn’t mow the lawn or clean the toilets if he wasn’t around.

@50wife – ugh sorry about your body being frustrating. FX everything works itself out.
@bertiemeetsgertie – sorry about feeling emotional about this last cycle. So nice of YH to comfort you like that. FX you don’t need to seek help.
@kariann323 – GL today!
@skilledsailor – that so sux about AF, hopefully you won’t have to deal with her long.
@starla – sorry about the funkiness. Hopefully everything works itself out soon.
@doxiemoxie212 – it’s a cold day in hell if I fold clothes and it’s a blizzard if they get put away. Usually I just fish things out of the laundry basket until I need to do laundry again.
@heatherdubrow – yay for last BCP tomorrow!
@lund – Getting drunk during AF and WTO is a must. FX you can find somewhere to ride horses. I grew up in Texas and I loved to ride horses. My sister rode competitively and I just rode for fun through Girl Scouts.
@vflux33 – ugh get it together ovaries! FX that you O soon!
