Get my master's
Travel
Buy a bigger house

mamasaurus12415

Good morning everyone!

@kiwi2628 I'd love to see the Northern Lights too.

@thisnthat314 It's so hard to wait. Longest two weeks ever. I'd also LOVE to visit Ireland. We have some Irish heritage floating around this house. When you go to Disney, eat at Raglan Road in Disney Springs. The food is to die for and the entertainment is second to none.

@looeeze Olivia Benson as the bad guy would screw me up so much. 

@charlestonchew I always feel like that on Monday too. 

Month/cycle: 9/4

CD/DPO: 24/6

Timing: -1

Typical LP length: I don't know yet

Testing: FF actually says 7/9 but I feel like that's too late. I want to test at 14DPO on 7/4.

R/R: My DD still cosleeps with us and she has soaked through her diaper for the second night in a row, so I have to wash our sheets for the second day in a row. I usually like to wash them once a week. I am going to buy overnight dipes tonight because 

CS/Q: -

GTKY: What are 3 things on your bucket list?
- Visit Ireland & Scotland (I'm obsessed with Outlander)
- Ride in a hot air balloon
- Open my own shop on Etsy

hedgepig

@kiwi2628 I'm glad to hear the trigger is out of your system. I'm stealing your Northern Lights idea
@looeeze Did you go for it with your cup o' pee?
@Charlestonchew Being sleep deprived sucks!
@mamasaurus12415 What would you sell in your etsy shop?

---------------------------------
Month/cycle:  6/6 (2/2 AL)

CD/DPO: 25/11

Timing: -2, -1, O, 1

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: Holding out. Probably Wednesday.

Rant: I worked in the garden all day yesterday - moved most of a yard of compost, turned beds, filled and moved big 15 gal pots, planted - and today I'm totally beat up. I have a weird rash on my leg and my foot hurts for no reason... wtf body?
Rave: I got the garden planted (super late, but better late than never?)

CS/Q:

GTKY: What are 3 things on your bucket list?
1. See the Northern Lights  (shamelessly lifted from @kiwi2628 )
2. Go back to Ireland, this time with enough money to actually go anywhere/do anything.
3. Drive across the U.S.

Month/cycle:  2/2 after months on the bench post 2 losses

CD/DPO: 22/7

Timing: -2,-1

Typical LP length: 14 days

Testing: Saturday probably

R/R: I've hit the 'stare at my chart as if its going to tell me a secret' stage.  that's annoying.

CS/Q: Can anyone fill me in on the FF membership/vip side of it? what all can you do with it? trying to decide if I want to do it.

GTKY: What are 3 things on your bucket list? travel to beautiful beaches. learn cake decorating (just looks fun). move to a better school district.

catlady1215

@thisnthat314 I always start getting the itch on day 9. try to stop myself cause its like peeing on money lol.

@looeeze I mean, the cup is there. jussst do it. ::peerpressure::

@mamasaurus maybe put a few layers of towels under her? -TW- my son had issues with pee at night till we found just the right night time diaper -END TW-

doxiemoxie212

Month/cycle:  2/2 AL 

CD/DPO:  24/11

Timing: all

Typical LP length: 15-16

Testing: July 1, though my curiosity is getting the best of me 

R/R: our friend's engagement party is July 1, and DH just told me three of our other friends will be staying with us that weekend but he forgot it's a 4-day weekend and has no idea how long they're staying. 

CS/Q:

GTKY: What are 3 things on your bucket list?

1) renovate a house
2) visit French Polynesia or the Maldives (or both!)
3) ugh I really have a lot of places I want to go: Ireland/Scotland, Thailand, Japan... 

mamasaurus12415

@hedgepig I'd sell my knitting. I have like 25% of an inventory already made. I took a break for a while to knit for my family.

mamasaurus12415

@catlady1215 That's a good idea. I also suspect we need to go up a size and that's probably half of the problem right there.

hedgepig

@doxiemoxie212 I want to travel to all the places as well, which is funny because I'm a pretty terrible traveller.... I get homesick right away and juse want to be back home.
@mamasaurus12415 That's awesome! I'm a knitting failure, so I always admire people who can knit really well. Do you sell at crafts fairs or anything?
@catlady1215
"R/R: I've hit the 'stare at my chart as if its going to tell me a secret' stage.  that's annoying."
^ Yes. This.
(Ugh, TB won't let me quote properly, so I'll have to do it the old fashioned way.)

looeeze

@hedgepig Way to plant! No, I decided I'd be too upset if I saw a BFN. **TW** I mc'ed at the end of May, now it feels different to POAS cause there's a whole other dimension to it. **END TW**

@catlady1215  When I joined FF, I got a month of VIP membership free as a trial, did you get that?

mamasaurus12415

@hedgepig I was a failure at first too! I couldn't even keep the loops on the needle. And no, I haven't ever sold at craft fairs, but I am considering a small one in November. 

hedgepig

@looeeze I hear ya.... this whole TTCAL is way different. I thought I'd be more anxious, but instead (so far) I feel less obsessive/anxious. Like, waiting to test is way easier than before. FX for you when you decide to test!

@mamasaurus12415 You should definitely do it! It's a great way to see how customers react to your work/prices, and usually really fun, although sometimes disappointing. Share a picture of something you've knitted that you're proud of?

catlady1215

@looeeze --TW-- I started this FF membership back in 2011. then just decided to use the same log in last year when we started again. I think I remember having vip back in 2011? But I can't remember what all it did.

beachbunnyxo123

@kiwi2628 fx so hard for you!!!

@looeeze omg stop it. I also had a weird dream last night about Olivia Benson. This has never happened to me before. Weird. 

Month/cycle:  18/18

CD/DPO:  24/11

Timing: -4,-2,-1

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: when AF is late 

R/R: spent 4 hours last night trying to fix my damn iPhone which had what the internet calls the "white screen of death". I had to restore it to factory settings and lost all my pictures and everything. It also kept me up till 3am: I'm grumpy and annoyed. And it's Monday, woof

CS/Q: none 

GTKY: What are 3 things on your bucket list?
vacationing more
opening a private practice 
getting my doctorate

doxiemoxie212

@catlady1215 I bought the VIP thing after the one month free trial, so I don't fully remember what the difference is, but I think you get a lot more analysis features, can upload photos (of OPKs, etc), and I just generally find it a lot easier and more helpful to use with the VIP features. 

looeeze

@beachbunnyxo123 Weeeird. Was she the bad guy in yours too? Mine was so vivid! 

justkeepswimming8

Month/cycle:  5/5

CD/DPO: 22/8

Timing: eh

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: Not feeling very positive about this cycle so going to wait until at least AF is late

R/R: I’ve been MIA this weekend because we had a family wedding and my parents and one of my sisters were in town. It was a fun but exhausting weekend. Now I need to try to be productive today after spending yesterday hungover. 

CS/Q:

GTKY: What are 3 things on your bucket list? Travel to Italy, run a marathon, and a specific career goal.

@kiwi2628 – yummy ice cream! Yay for the trigger being out of your system! GL waiting until Friday.

@thisnthat314 – you’ve run Boston? That’s awesome! I’d love to be able to do that one day but I’m so super slow! LOL

@JNCPro3130 – FX for high temps and a well DS.

@looeeze – I’ve been having super weird dreams since my nap yesterday as well.

@charlestonchew – ugh sorry about horrible sleep last night! I hope tonight is better.

@mamasaurus1245 – what would you sell on Etsy?

 @hedgepig – good job on getting your garden done. Hopefully you recover quickly!

@catlady1215 – the crazy googling started last night for me so I’m right there with you. I got VIP (Check their twitter because they will give discounts/promotions on VIP) and I love it. I like being able to see all my symptoms and all the analyzers they give that they don’t give on regular. Apparently you can pause it so you can use it for the next TTGP phase after you get KU - that's what sold me.

@doxiemoxie212 – hopefully the friends don’t stay the whole weekend so you can have some of your long weekend to yourself!

@beachbunnyxo123 – ugh sorry about your phone!

mamasaurus12415

@hedgepig All good points! I asked my mom a while ago if she'd sit at the table with me if I did the craft fair, and she said yes, so I already have moral support lined up. 

I'm going to put my picture in a spoiler because I want to give others the chance not to see it. *Possible TW*

This is the first sweater I ever knit and I did it to work through some feelings.

kiki75

There's no shame in peeing on some Wondfos! Unless negatives when it's really too early to turn a test get you down, go for it! Personally I've always preferred the slow let down of starting with negatives when there was still a chance it was too early over the slap of AF, a huge temp drop, or a BFN on the last day of my LP. 

@mamasaurus12415 I looked up that restaurant you suggested. I ate there once on a work trip! I just remember that it was fun, but we were wiped out, so were all the kids--there were kids either passed out or crying all over the place, and the host stand misunderstood the relationship between my dining companion, my boss, and me my boss. They gave us this nice little cozy romantic table for two. 

@catlady1215 It's like if I look at my chart enough, I can solve the puzzle and will be pregnant. I drive myself crazy. I don't remember what all VIP has over the regular. I've had it for so long.

@hedgepig For me I think travel is a great idea until a few day out. Then I just want to forget it and stay home and I don't want to go. Then I get up the day of and get rolling or get to the airport and I start to perk up. Then I get where we're going and I love it. 

@beachbunnyxo123 Oh no! I'm sorry about losing all of your pictures. That sucks. 



Month/Cycle: 16/16

CD/DPO: 22/9

TLPL: 11 days, but I'm on progesterone now so Saturday is the official date

Timing: -5, -3, IUI on O, +1

Testing: Wednesday 

R/R: Nothing yet besides a general case of the Mondays. Yesterday was beautiful and I could use a few more days like that. 

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Travel to every continent (Antarctica and Australia are the last two), see the Northern Lights (we almost went to Fairbanks for the last vacation but went warm instead), restore an old car with H.

mamasaurus12415

@kiki75 Yikes! I'm sorry to hear about that seating arrangement. That must have been so awkward. But yeah we ate there on our honeymoon and got a table right next to the stage, which was awesome. Then last year we went on our anniversary and one other time and got put right in front. I love it there so much. I'm hoping to find a cookbook in their little store this year.

hedgepig

Ah, @kiki75 it's like you're reading my mind. My thoughts today were along the lines of "I've got all these Wonfos, and they're so cheap, I might as well start testing!" My resolve is eroding.

KSMcClary

@catlady1215 Cake decorating is a lot of fun, but it is time consuming!

Month/cycle:  1/1

CD/DPO:26/12

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

Typical LP length: 14ish

Testing: Well I POAS last night even though the one in the morning was a BFN.  This one was a little more unclear.  I started to bleed a little, but its a few days too soon for AF, so implantation bleeding??  The timing makes sense, but sticking it out to see what happens.

R/R:

CS/Q:

GTKY: What are 3 things on your bucket list?
Visit Scotland, Ireland, Germany. (counting that as one thing)
Build my dream house
Get me masters degree

muggle621

Month/cycle:  6/7

CD/DPO: 16/2

Timing: -1, O - please refer to rant 

Typical LP length: 13-14 days

Testing: I probably won't test until 10 dpo 

R/R: I ovulated early!!! I usually ovulated on CD 17-18 and I know these things can change every month but life happened.  I am so upset. We had a busy week and didn't BD at all. I got a positive OPK and started having ovulation pains Friday night but by that time my H had accidentally drank too much wine and was dehydrated from his side job. It was still positive Sat morning and I was still having O pains so we BD'ed that morning & Sunday (will today as well) but I would feel better had we done it throughout the week. I chart and I had a huge temp drop Sat morning. 

CS/Q: I have yet to get a definitive answer from Google. I am going to ask my doctor next time I see him but does anyone know if ovulation pains mean you are ABOUT to ovulate or are ovulating at that moment in time? 

GTKY: What are 3 things on your bucket list?
1) Take MULTIPLE trips to Europe, especially the U.K.! 
2) Make Director sometime in my career 
3) Go to the Harry Potter attraction at Disney World

@kiwi2628 I am so jealous! I love TJs Cookie Butter!!! And I am with you on the Northern Lights! 
@thisnthat314 I am a chronic tester too; you are not alone! 
@JNCPro3130  I hope your DS feels better!
@charlestonchew I hope you sleep better tonight. I've been having sleep issues too, maybe it's the moon.  
@looeeze Mochu Picchu? I have never heard of it but sounds intriguing 
@mamasaurus12415 I have read the first Outlander book but I have been wanting to watch the show. I heard it's good! Do you watch it? 
@hedgepig I'm sorry you have a rash,could it be poison ivy since you were gardening? 
@catlady1215  If you upgrade FF let me know if you find it helpful. I am sort of debating the same thing. 
@doxiemoxie212 Make sure you don't live in the house while you renovate it TRUST ME. My H and I just went through that and it was not fun. 
@beachbunnyxo123 I'm sorry about your phone. Iphones are sort of sucking lately
@justkeepswimming8 Glad you had some beautiful days! We are still waiting to have some in Louisiana. It does nothing but rain

mamasaurus12415

@muggle621 I'm on the third book, Voyager. And YES! The show is amazing. They just finished filming season 3, which will air in September. So you have all summer to catch up on 1 & 2! Doooo it!

doxiemoxie212

@muggle621 I want all the drama that comes with renovating a house! I want to feel like I'm living in an HGTV show. I doubt DH would ever agree to renovate a house, though, especially not while living in it. He's a bit fussy. My parents renovated a house while living in it when they were in their 20s, though, and my mom said the only way it worked at all was that they moved all the rooms around. So, they built the new kitchen in an entirely different room and used the old kitchen while it was being built, etc. Don't feel bad about your timing - I think -1 and O are the most important anyway! And ovulation pain can mean three things: you are about to ovulate, you are currently ovulating, or you already ovulated. I don't know that there's anyway to differentiate other than an ultrasound or a temp shift (though some people have slow temp rises, etc., which could impact exact date, etc.). 

purplg8r

@kiwi2628 wait--there's cookie butter ice cream???????

@thisnthat314 you BQ'd???  What was your time?  I'm so jealous!!  I've done a bunch of marathons but will never be fast enough

@JNCPro3130 yes!  Run a half marathon!  You'll get hooked!

@looeeze I'm no help here in stopping you!  I'm a POAS addict!

@charlestonchew I hope you sleep better tonight!

@mamasaurus12415 I can never wait to test for as long as FF tells me to!

@hedgepig nice work on your garden!!

@catlady1215 oh I so do that to my chart!!

@doxiemoxie212 ugh. I hate when I don't know the plans for guests!!

@beachbunnyxo123 oh no about your phone!  I would be crushed if I lost all my pictures. So that reminds me that I need to go back it up!

@justkeepswimming8 you should totally run a full! It takes lots of dedication but so totally worth it!

@kiki75 we have the same gtky but I'm a continent behind!

Month/cycle:  11/7 (5/2 AL)

CD/DPO: 45/11

Timing: -3, -1

Typical LP length: **TW** 9 before my ectopic but it was 10 last cycle (the first after EP) and we're at 10 now ** end TW**

Testing: bfn 

R/R: I'm still here for now.  For some reason I woke up at 4am again!! This one was totally in me--the dog wasn't in the room and H didn't move or make a sound. And I couldn't fall back asleep again so after laying really still for a few mins I temped. Temp is still hanging in there but I fully expect AF at any time. Ran 3 miles this morning with my group & then 3 more with just my bff 

CS/Q:

GTKY: What are 3 things on your bucket list?
 1) Run a race in any state. I have done 9 (California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia & Washington D.C.)
2) Travel to every continent (I need Australia, Africa, and Antarctica)
3) ride in a hot air balloon

vflux33

@JNCPro3130 I hope YS feels better!

@looeeze I'm glad you stayed strong since it sounds like that's what is best for you today 

@charlestonchew Sorry about your bad sleep. I am a wreck when I don't sleep. 

@hedgepig I admire your test resistance/strength!

@beachbunnyxo123 That SUCKS about your phone and pics. Mine is basically on hospice at this point, but since I know it's coming I've moved the pics to dropbox.   

@justkeepswimming8 Glad you had fun at the wedding!

@kiki75 MH is obsessed with restoring old 1970s broncos or land cruisers. We are just waiting to find a shell of one cheap enough. What kind are you guys into? 

@muggle621 I think O pains can happen before or during or after. Sorry that's not a clear answer for you! FWIW your timing actually sounds pretty good to me so I wouldn't freak out on it too much. 

@purplg8r Sorry for the BFN, but yay for the longer LP! That is so huge!

Month/cycle:  15/13

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: -3, IUI, O IUI, IUI + 1

Typical LP length: 14-16 days but RE said it will be 14 on a Clomid cycle

Testing: trigger still barely in my system

R/R: MH's coworker and possible future business partner is staying at our place tonight. She imposes on us a lot to avoid her insane commute and it gets annoying. Like, it's not our fault you live so far away and are too cheap to find your own way of dealing with that. I'm just hoping it's only for the one night and that it doesn't interfere with my bumping and email time too much!

CS/Q:

GTKY: What are 3 things on your bucket list? 
1. Visit ALL US national parks and monuments
2. Go to Europe again, but this time all around and with more money/luxury
3. Build a perfect house (well, for us anyway), which MH and I talk about all the time and call "The House of Broken Dreams"

@doxiemoxie212 I hope you do get to experience a renovation because it is nice having that satisfaction after putting in all that hard work!!! Maybe you can get on House Hunters Renovation one day hehe! We lived in the living room for about 2 weeks while we put in new floors and scraped the popcorn ceilings in all the bedrooms. We have a cat and a dog so i know it could have been worse but it was still kind of stressful, especially because our pets were so confused! 
I just called my doctor to get my progesterone tested at 7dpo so based on past info I gave them and this months info we feel that I did ovulate Saturday. I'm now thinking my O pains mean I'm about to ovulate and it continues into ovulation.

Month/cycle:  17/15 (1/1 AL)

CD/DPO: 25/13ish

Timing: all.the.days

Typical LP length: 14-18 days

Testing: Friday. I want to actually be late. 

R/R: It's Monday. Ha. 

CS/Q: 

GTKY: What are 3 things on your bucket list?

I want to spend a month touring Italy. I want to become fluent in a foreign language. I want to retire to a beach. 

@kiwi2628 DH and I have almost gone to Morocco a few times, but then something comes up to cancel our plans. Congrats on more trigger in your system. 

@thisnthat314 I love Disney! It is so much fun. 

@looeeze nahhh. Just test.

@beachbunnyxo123 nooo! That's a nightmare. It wasn't backed up in the cloud?

@mamasaurus12415 that is absolutely beautiful. 

@KSMcClary Scotland is one of my favorite countries to visit! We love the Highlands and the Isle of Skye. 

thisnthat314

@justkeepswimming8 yes- in 2011! It was great but rather than run it and soak it all in I tried to beat my personal best. Dummy. It was awesome though!!

looeeze

@justkeepswimming8 I'm glad you had a fun weekend! You certainly deserved one.
@muggle621 Machu Picchu is in Peru! It's an Incan site on top of a mountain, basically. Sorry about the early O. O pain can come before, during, or after, depending on the person.
@purplg8r I admire your commitment to running. I've tried to get into it. I just can't seem to.
@vflux33 Thanks for talking me down (eventually ) yesterday.

purplg8r

@vflux33 that's so annoying about your H's co-worker.  I'd be so annoyed!! Have you said anything to H?

@muggle621 I don't think your timing is bad!  And heads up-Harry Potter is at Universal not Disney World

@mdfarmchick touring Italy for a month would be amazing!!

holli0801

@kiwi2628 I now have to make a TJs run for the best. Ice cream. Ever. 

I deserve the icecream. AF showed early today... off to WTO. No one follow!!! 

Ps- everyone interested in visiting Ireland, DO IT. So beautiful. Amazing people. If you love quiet, beautiful country sides I highly suggest Kinsale in Co Cork. If you like a great time out on the town or love live music, Galway City! 

charlestonchew

@muggle621 with a mixture of Google knowledge and personal experience, O pain can happen before, during, and after O. I feel it day before and day of usually.

Also...I definitely recommend outlander show and can say it stays very true to the books. I love both and am on the 6th book

vflux33

@purplg8r Oh H is even more pissed about it than I am b/c he works with her every day and gets really sick of her. If they weren't thinking of doing a joint venture together we would have just said "no".  He told me this morning he is thinking of having a "talk" with her about it and I'm actually worried he will be too harsh and piss her off thus jeopardizing their professional relationship.
