GTKY: What is your favourite thing about yourself? (Physical and/or non-physical.)

P&G because I get to paint a friend's house today.


Month/Cycle: NTNP

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV

R/R: I just really would rather go back to bed right now, haha.

CS/Q: I just don't know what's going on with my chart this month. I'm just assuming I won't get CHs, and then I'll get to start fresh next cycle and temp vaginally for more accurate temps. I'm pretty sure my CPAP doesn't mesh well with BBT tracking.

GTKY: What is your favourite thing about yourself? (Physical and/or non-physical.) Physically, my favourite thing is my lips, or my eyes. Non-physically, my favourite thing would be my ability to be everyone's "shoulder" to cry on and bounce ideas off of. It's nice to know that my friends/family trust me and my advice enough to come to me when they need to.

Month/Cycle: 1/1 AL

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: Ubiquinol fat-soluble, so I get to gorge on almonds. Because that's how it works, right? 

Rave: I'm listening to the Positive Psychology Podcast and loving it so far. It's a bunch of academics and clinicians talking about the science behind it. There was an episode on optimism that really hit home, when the host explained that the pushback people experienced towards optimism filled a certain psychological need. 

Rant: I didn't get much sleep, but what I did get happened with my mouth wide open. I think it will be vaginal temping for me too next month. 

CS/Q: Still bouncing around with not much happening. 

GTKY: What is your favourite thing about yourself? (Physical and/or non-physical.)

I don't really know, but here's some stuff I like:

Physical: I have a nice figure. I'm tall and lean, and it suits me. My walk is floaty. 

Non-physical: I can be wrong. I can learn. I have a pretty deep capacity for kindness.

Month/Cycle: 5/3

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Folate, Ubiquinol, DHA, RRL, Pom Juice, CM, temping (via Ava), Preseed, HIO 

R/R: Rant: It was so hot here yesterday and today isn't looking any better. Rave: Going to meet some friends at one of the museums downtown this afternoon. Haven't seen them in month!

CS/Q: I'll see if I can figure out how to post a picture of my chart with the Ava temps. Tried to do @jrm_14 's idea and temp with a BBT to compare to Ava but didn't get a good block of sleep prior to waking up this morning so that went out the window. 

GTKY: What is your favourite thing about yourself? (Physical and/or non-physical.)
Physical: I have nice eyes and my natural hair color is beautiful (plus my hair is super thick and wavy) 
Nonphysical: I like that I'm fairly intelligent and I try to be kind and considerate of others.

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNVs, OPKs, Pom Juice

R/R: It's Sunday and H just announced he's making pancakes for breakfast! Y'all, We've been together for three years and this is the first thing he has learned to cook well. I'm pretty stoked. 

CS/Q: 

GTKY: What is your favourite thing about yourself? (Physical and/or non-physical.)
Physical: It's not natural but I'm loving my grey hair. It feels very "me" and brings out my blue eyes.
Non-Physical: I have a strong moral compass, as H puts it. I always try my hardest to do what is right. 

@izza2 You are up super early! When you're finished painting your friend's house, feel free to help me with mine! 

@_darth Those podcasts sound interesting! My degree is in psychology. That combined with my hippie, yoga loving nature has made the power of positive thinking particularly captivating to me. Have you found yourself implementing things you learned from it?

@fishsticks-n-custard  Hanging out with friends at a museum sounds like a lovely way to spend a Sunday! What kind of museum is it? 

darkstar42

@_darth That podcast sounds interesting! I'm in psychology, but I tend to research the negative stuff (prejudice, aggression, etc). Do you remember who the psychologist was who was studying optimism? I know someone who was looking at hope vs. optimism a couple years ago, so I'm curious if it was her!

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: temps, cm, opks

R/R: Earlier this week it sounded like a great idea to sign up to volunteer for three hours today, registering people to vote. Now I'm lazy and I don't want to go. Sigh.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your favourite thing about yourself? (Physical and/or non-physical.)
Physical - green eyes, height (I'm pretty tall)
Non-physical - intelligence, curiosity

WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, cp, pnv, hio 

R/R: rant - I'm at work and it's Sunday. rave - Don't have to stay at work long thankfully.  Got into an internet "argument" with an idiot on my dad's FB post last night, it was actually quite hilarious.  It kinda went downhill after the guy's argument was to make no logical sense and then refer to me as a hideous beast.  ROTFLMAO  Guess he didn't like my troll gif game Rawr!  Oh yeah, plus I got some AM booty, so I'm in a good mood

CS/Q: nah, not yet, finally stopped bleeding so gonna start temping for the cycle tomorrow morning 

GTKY: What is your favourite thing about yourself? (Physical and/or non-physical.)

Physical: I like my eyes (blue) also I have a LOT of forgiving hair, it's turning grey so that'll be fun
Non-physical: I have a pretty good sense of humor and I'm empathetic.  I can easily put myself in the other person's shoes and see their sides of things (might not always agree, but I can respect/understand it). Also, I'm smarter than I act/seem, sometimes life is just easier that way  

@izza2 Have fun painting today! I actually like painting

@_darth all the almonds! Jealous of your floaty walk DH refers to me as the bull in a china shop because I'm a klutz.  I trip on air occasionally

@fishsticks-n-custard I love museums! Have fun and learn something cool!

@SkilledSailor Enjoy your pancakes! I'm spoiled in the fact that MH cooks all the time, we "argue" over who's cooking and who's cleaning for the day

@darkstar42 I hope you end up having fun volunteering 

fishsticks-n-custard

@SkilledSailor *TW* We're going to the children's museum. It's hot as hell here and apparently there is a really cool toddler exhibit (inside, yay!) where they can run around plus sensory play areas. *end TW*

Month/Cycle: 1/1

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT and CM

R/R: Hoping I O this week. It's my first cycle of BC so I am not really sure when to expect O

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your favourite thing about yourself? (Physical and/or non-physical.)
Physical - My eyes (green)
Nonphysical - I'm very a very loyal and good friend

ETA: to add comments
@izza2 - That is awesome that you are helping your friend paint.
@_darth - That podcast seems inteteresting
@fishsticks-n-custard - Ugh! Its been so hot here too! I can't wait for cooler weather. I hope you have fun at the museum.
@SkilledSailor - Yum! I love pancakes
@darkstar42 - I hope your 3 hours passes quickly

WAYDTGKU: tracking cm and bbt, epo before O. 

R/R: Rant: My back is killing me and I don't know why.
Rave: I'm making huge construction paper dahlias for my classroom wall and they're looking nice.

CS/Q: None yet.

GTKY: I'm partial to my nose.

SkilledSailor

@darkstar42 Hope you have more fun volunteering than you expect!

@Stargazer1lily Good luck with your cleaning!

@lurvleybunchococonuts Your "arguments" with your H are what my dreams are made of, haha. 

@fishsticks-n-custard Oh fun! Children's museums are so cool. 

@glitzandglitter Good luck with O!

glitzandglitter

@stargazer1lily - Good luck with your cleaning/organization. I so need to do that too.
@lurvleybunchococonuts - Sorry you are at work Glad you don't have to be there long though
@paleoprincess - I love your dahlias! So pretty!

charlestonchew

Got cross hairs even though I disagree with them but off to TWW. Good luck everyone!

paleoprincess

@izza2 have fun painting! 

@_darth any reason to eat lots of almonds is a good reason. 

@fishsticks-n-custard have fun at the museum! What type is it? Art, history, etc?

@SkilledSailor I'm jealous of your pancakes! I love the grey hair trend, but I'm not brave enough to try it, I bet it looks amazing! What color did you start with? 

@darkstar42  Volunteering always feels like a great idea at the time, doesn't it. At least you're making a difference! Have you done political volunteering a lot? 

@Stargazer1lily Happy cleaning! Have you read "the life changing magic of tidying up?" It's a great read for organizing. 

@lurvleybunchococonuts never argue online!  I read a quote that it's like playing chess with a pigeon because your opponent will "knock over the pieces, poo on the board, the strut about as if he's won" or something like that. 

@glitzandglitter fingers crossed that it happens this week!

P&G for now

Month/Cycle: 12/8 (5/3 AL)

CD: 27

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, Ubiquinol, opks 

R/R: another day of relaxing by the pool. First world problems but rant-- on the island, dinner reservations at our fav restaurants book up fast.  One of the perks of our time share is that we let the concierge know where we want to eat and they make reservations.  Well they called today and said they made the reservation but called to confirm today and they can't find it and would book a new one.  And then for another restaurant, we found its relocating so it's closed til next year.  Womp womp.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your favourite thing about yourself? (Physical and/or non-physical.) 

this is is really hard for me
physical: my legs.  They're long and lean
non-physical: my ability to think the best of everyone until proven wrong 

paleoprincess

@glitzandglitter thank you! They're surprisingly easy. I'm going off the idea that is my classroom is bright and pretty, the kids will all listen to me. Its never worked before, but maybe this time. 

@purplg8r I love the not judging/thinking the best thing, the world needs more of that. 

babyboywish

@glitzandglitter, I'm in exactly the same boat as you, this is my first cycle off BCP, and I'm hoping that I O, but not sure when I will, or whether my cycle length will stay the same.

I'm only on CD2, so you are a few days ahead of me. Sending you positive thoughts and good luck for this cycle

cards10

love titting today... super busy doing things around the house and tagging mobile is always tough

Month/Cycle: 4

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt-ish (see R/R). AF is pretty much gone so I'll be able to try CM and CP again soon

R/R: rave - super productive today and my chart has two dots on it  
rant - they are with my old bbt bc I can't find a stupid tiny battery to replace my new mabis battery. I think I'm gonna call Amazon and complain. But even if they send another one, it'll be 2-3 more days until I can temp with it. So I'll prob just use my old one. I was able to see a clear shift last time I used it. 

CS/Q: hopefully soon. Right now it's boring. 

GTKY: What is your favourite thing about yourself? (Physical and/or non-physical.)
hmm this is kinda tough for me...
physical - eyes I guess. They're brown which is common but everyone tells me they're huge so they stand out. And I have a disproportionately big butt. That's good and bad, it depends. 
Non-physical - I can "hang" with the guys, which is great in a male-dominated industry. 

darkstar42

@lurvleybunchococonuts @glitzandglitter @SkilledSailor @paleoprincess The volunteering wasn't bad at all! Signed some people up to vote, ate some good food, and wandered around a street festival. I haven't done much political volunteering, other than some phone banking before the presidential election. The current political state makes me feel like I need to get out there and do something, even though it can be uncomfortable.

pebbledam

@_darth - I'm totes a mouth breather, but that's every single time I sleep. I tried vaginal temping one cycle and it didn't work well for me. I hope you have better luck (or you won't need it)!
@fishsticks-n-custard - What is your natural hair color??
@darkstar42 - Is your SN a reference to Hitchhiker's guide?
@glitzandglitter - Can we both O this week and be DPO buddies?
@paleoprincess - Your paper dahlias are pretty!

Month/Cycle: 7/5

CD: 21

WAYDTGKU: If I stare at my OPKs hard enough the test line will get darker, right?

R/R: 2 hours until my work week starts. 

CS/Q: today FF moved my CHs from CD13 to CD18, but I'm confident that I haven't O'd yet. This is what happens when your proliferate phase ranges from 16 to 60 days. 

GTKY: Physical - my legs, Non-physical - Compassion

SkilledSailor

@paleoprincess It started off as a really dark grey and has faded throughout the month. It's currently a really cool ashy blonde/silver combination. I go in on Friday to start back at the beginning, with the dark shade. Oh, and your dahlias?! Stunning! How are you doing those?

@purplg8r Yes, that's a first world problem but I'd be annoyed by that too. How's your trip going, otherwise?

@cards10 That is super annoying about your thermometer! Maybe Amazon can overnight one to you? 

@darkstar42 Yay! Glad to hear it was fun! 

@pebbledam Yes, the lines will get darker. OPKs usually succumb to peer pressure. Sorry FF isn't cooperating with you. 

paleoprincess

@darkstar42 I'm glad the registering wasn't too bad, it seems like the "gearing up to do something" is frequently harder than actually doing it. 

@SkilledSailor Thank you! I got the idea from some wall art at a Trader Joe's, weirdly, and then I found a tutorial on Pinterest (https://www.mamasgonecrafty.com/2017/03/diy-giant-dahlia-paper-flowers-how-to.html?m=1) They're really easy! I spent too much on pretty construction paper, but I spend like half my life in my classroom, so it might as well be pretty. 

@pebbledam Thank you! Good luck on the opks. I was never good at working nights, what do you do? 

glitzandglitter

@pebbledam - yes! Sounds like a plan to me!

pebbledam

@paleoprincess - I work for the railroad and I've been on nights for over 4 years now. I'm trying to get onto a 2nd shift job, but it's going to be a few months at least. 

paleoprincess

@pebbledam Oh my gosh! That's a lot of night-shifting. My fingers are crossed for you getting the 2nd shift. 

purplg8r

@SkilledSailor so far my trip has been great & relaxing 

darkstar42

@pebbledam It's not, but I do love the hitchhiker books! My SN actually references this song, by my favorite 90s britpop group.

ETA: Clearly I'm tired this morning. I forgot about the 42. Yes, that does reference the hitchhiker books! Haha.

fishsticks-n-custard

@pebbledam it's a very dark brown but has a red sheen to it when I'm in the sun. 

_darth

Sorry to revive yesterday's thread at 5:30 pm, but I kinda posted and ran yesterday. I won't lie to you ladies. I got into Outlander for the first time, there were hot people, and then it was somehow past midnight and I was still stuck to the TV.

@darkstar42 I'm horrible with names, but here's the podcast I was talking about: https://strengthsphoenix.com/listen/

@SkilledSailor Definitely implementing the things I learn in small steps - it's a good/natural addition to CBT and kinda balances me out, I guess. Right now, I'm keeping a gratitude/achievement journal that has been really beneficial in breaking some toxic thought patters I've been taught or picked up.
