WAYDTGKU: HIO, OPK, Prenatal, temp
R/R: Rant - Hubs had to fly out today for meeting and might not be able to fly in tonight because of Hurricane Jose. Of course this is when I'm fertile. Hopefully he's back to HIO tomorrow.
CS/Q: finally my CM started to align with the OPK last night. So perhaps this thing might be right. We will see.
GTKY: Do you have a quote or saying that has stuck with you for a while and/or has changed your life in some way? Please share!
I'm going to show my nerd colors here but this is my quote from Gandalf the Grey from lord of the Rings:
"So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
For my 16th birthday my best friend cross stitched it into a picture frame for me and it stuck with me. I still have it.
CD: 21
WAYDTGKU: P in V
R/R: rant - need. more. coffee. rave - TW
CS/Q: Temp inched up a little, but didn't wanna move much this morning so FX DH cooperates and we get to bump uglies again tonight. Unexciting chart in spoiler. (Hopefully it works today).
GTKY: Do you have a quote or saying that has stuck with you for a while and/or has changed your life in some way? Please share!
Hmm... I'm partial to "Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference." Which is attributed to Mark Twain (hasn't been confirmed though). Also, when I remember, the Serenity Prayer, but that's only during bad anxiety attacks/at wits end. And I don't always remember LMAO but it has helped occasionally.

WAYDTGKU: All the things
R/R: No rants...Rave- I ordered some lingerie for our anniversary and of course it didn't make it in time, but I just got a notification it's here! I'm so excited. I haven't dressed up for DH in a long time...So here goes nothing!
CS/Q: Getting some fertile CM/ CP signs...otherwise there's still nothing to see
GTKY: Do you have a quote or saying that has stuck with you for a while and/or has changed your life in some way? Please share!
Just a couple of classics..."This to shall pass" and "it is what it is" Simple, but have always helped me find peace in some way
@lurvleybunchococonuts Hope you get to HIO tonight to help with timing, and I seriously love your quote. It's so true! Oh, and I can't see your chart
@nimmle I hope your DH makes it back tonight. Your chart is definitely looking hopeful for O' soon
ETA: HOLY MASSIVE PHOTO BATMAN! Added spoiler...
@josie12367 thanks for the heads up chicky! Too bad your delivery didn't get there on time, but still yay for new lingerie
Happy belated anniversary!

WAYDTGKU: not looking promising
R/R: I had better sleep last night, but I have to teach again today and I seem to have done something to my neck. Magic bag here I come. Just keeping a really close eye on hurricane Maria as MH is down in Turks and Caicos right now.
CS/Q: nothing to see here.
GTKY: Do you have a quote or saying that has stuck with you for a while and/or has changed your life in some way? Please share!
"Not my monkey's, not my circus" My mother has been saying it for years and it is with me always. A good reminder to not take on other people's baggage.
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD: 31
WAYDTGKU: CM, EOD sex, OPKs, and started taking my temps today. Today was a pretty low temp today so I believe I haven't ovulated yet. but you never know
R/R: I tried the SMEP method, but my cycle post partum is less predictable and I have been having O pains for weeks... I am definitely going to temp next cycle. Also, I think breastfeeding is making my cycle longer. Last cycle I temped and ovulated on CD 29.
CS/Q: nothing right now.
GTKY: Do you have a quote or saying that has stuck with you for a while and/or has changed your life in some way? Please share! The quote below is from my favorite child's book from when I was young. It is the one thing I would ever tattoo on myself and has brought me much comfort as an adult looking back. And now that I have my daughter it brings on new meaning. Love it.
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: The usual and everything.
R/R: It is to early to tell yet...I think I am still half asleep.

WAYDTGKU: All sorts of things
R/R: Rave: Today is kind of like my Saturday. Taking the cat to the vet, then just groceries and cleaning. Woot woot.
CS/Q:
GTKY: "Smooth seas never made a skilled sailor." I was going through a really hard time the first time I read that. And since then it has been so applicable to other challenges I've faced. It inspired this SN and I have a pretty large side tat of it.
@nimmle Sorry your H is stuck away! FX he gets back soon.
@lurvleybunchococonuts Man that quote is so true. Wish I'd learned that one sooner.
@josie12367 Aw yay! Happy anniversary!
@nitnat007 Um that quote is hilarious. I love it! Sorry your neck is hurt! You're having a rough start to the week. Hope it gets better!
@nimmle FX YH makes it home to HIO during FW.
@lurvleybunchococonuts Your posts always make me smile.
@josie12367 Oooooh, new lingerie sounds fun! I actually have a good stash from when we got married that I don't use very often, so it is fun to pull it out every once in awhile.
@nitnat007 Friend
@Katm89 Welcome! I love that book--great quote!
@ajsanders-2 I think you need to join me and @lurvleybunchococonuts for a coffee date!
@SkilledSailor Yay for it being your "Saturday." It sounds like it will be a productive day. You mentioned you are going grocery shopping...that's on my list too...any fun meals planned for the week? I need some menu inspiration!
Month/Cycle: 6/6

@josie12367 Hooray for some lingerie. I don't remember the last time I dressed up, if ever.
@nitnat007 Yikes! I hope YH stays safe.
@Katm89 Welcome back!
@ajsanders-2 love the HP quote.
@SkilledSailor Glad it's your weekend
@Katm89 Welcome! And what a lovely quote.
@ajsanders-2 I like that quote. So many good ones! And yes, it is too early.
@SkilledSailor Thanks! Looking on the positive side, things will get better! Enjoy your Saturday. Hope your cat is ok and it is just a checkup? Really good quote and something worthy of a tattoo for sure. Is that your only tat or do you have more?
@dukestar5 Yay for a new cycle!!! That is awesome. So glad that you get to start again. I definitely don't want to be down in T&C with MH right now. I have seen a few pics and it is really so sad.

R/R: rave - yesterday I was fairly productive at work and my classes went well, so that's good. MH and I also made it to the gym in the evening. rant - HSG is this afternoon, and I'm feeling a bit anxious about it.
CS/Q: Chart in spoiler for your stalking pleasure. Not much to see yet.
GTKY: Do you have a quote or saying that has stuck with you for a while and/or has changed your life in some way? Please share! I love quotes, but I'll refrain from making you all read tons of my favorites! One that I read that stuck with me is:
"Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new." - Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
Month/Cycle: 1/1

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, HIO, OPK
R/R: I've had 2 cups of coffee this morning. Yay!
CS/Q: I think I O yesterday but I'm still having EWCM today. I also had a small temp rise this morning. I'm going to keep hanging out here for another couple days to watch my temp.
GTKY: Do you have a quote or saying that has stuck with you for a while and/or has changed your life in some way? Please share! Not really. I guess treat others the way you want to be treated. I think kindness is important at all times.
@nimmle I hope YH gets back quickly and safely! Also, I love that Gandalf quote. Such a lovely sentiment.
@lurvleybunchococonuts Fx you get more good timing in, but your timing looks great regardless!
@josie12367 Awesome that you got some new lingerie! That’s always fun. And congrats on a ten year anniversary! So impressive.
@nitnat007 Hope YH stays safe! Sorry your neck is hurting. I may have recommended this before, but if not, check out the book “How to treat your own neck” by Robin McKenzie. The exercises are very simple, but they really work. There is a TON of medical literature supporting it. And I love that saying too.
@Katm89 Welcome, and I’m sorry for your loss. I love that book as well!
@ajsanders-2
that Dumbledore quote.
@skilledsailor I wondered about your screenname! That’s a lovely saying.
@dukestar5 Cd 1 after a month of being benched is exciting! Fx for this cycle.
@krashke Yay for all the things! I love that meme and the blog/comic it comes from. I actually have a wall calendar of her comics in my office right now.
@lurvleybunchococonuts my dad always used to say that to us I never knew it actually came from someone!
@josie12367 new lingerie is fun! Do you have a favorite place you like to shop for it? (I may be in the market)
@nitnat007 glad you slept better last night but boo for neck issues! Hope you feel better soon
@Katm89 welcome! What book is your quote from?
@ajsanders-2 your wedding anniversary is coming up! Do you and YH have any plans?
@SkilledSailor is your cat ok? She was a little older, right? also love that your SN is from something meaningful.
@dukestar5 yay for being off the bench! FX this is your cycle!
@darkstar42 GL at your appointment today! Take it easy today! Also love Hyperbole and a Half!
@mrstmoose awesome timing for your O!

@nitnat007 thanks, I will check that thread out.
@nitnat007 @krashke It was just a check-up for the fluff ball. Thank you for asking!
@nitnat007 I have two more small tattoos on my wrists that I love too. I've been wanting one more for awhile but can't decide where to put it. Do you have any?
@lurvleybunchococonuts It's my birthday weekend so we have lots of fun stuff planned! I'm excited for it all but it definitely won't be a quiet weekend.
@darkstar42 I understand feeling anxious about the testing. FX your results are good. Update us later?
CD:12
WAYDTGKU: all the things
R/R: I'm in the office this morning but then heading home to work from the couch for rest of day! I had a terrible day at work yesterday so I'm really looking forward to this little bit of respite!
CS/Q: for stalking - I'm only getting negative OPKs so maybe that rando spotting wasn't the start of my FW afterall, although a slight temp dip this morning... ah I just don't know, bodies are weird and difficult
GTKY: Do you have a quote or saying that has stuck with you for a while and/or has changed your life in some way? Please share!
My mum always says "it is what it is" as her mantra. I also love this mantra "I am a non-profit unicorn"...just when non-profit work gets me down (taken from Vu Lee, the author of the Nonprofit AF blog).
@josie12367 We don't have "you me her" on US Netflix! MH and i started watching it when we were in Europe and it was cold and raining so we stayed one night. when we got back i tried to start it again and I couldn't find it!! so @nitnat007 i'm not sure you can find it.
also welcome @dukestar5 glad you're off the bench!
hi everyone else--"see" you soon.
CD:16
WAYDTGKU: BBT,CM,OPK,HIO
R/R: Called the Dr`s office yesterday to ask about my results from the ultrasound I did last month, all she told me was it was a normal routine exam. I think I`m more confused now then before.
CS/Q:nope
GTKY: Do you have a quote or saying that has stuck with you for a while and/or has changed your life in some way? Please share! I can`t think of one.
@dukestar5. Glad you will be off the bench SOON & back over here! Sad we likely won't overlap. However, I haven't been in TWW since 8/12, so look I'm excited to break outta WTO!!

@lurvleybunchococonuts lol 'bump uglies' -- that's a good one! My LP was 15 days last cycle...before that it was shorter (more like 11 days) so it seems as though my cycle is going through some changes -- perhaps it's the seeds!!
@katm89 welcome!
@darkstar42 good luck this afternoon!! I will be sending good thoughts your way.
@krashke that is the best saying!!!! I want to get a t-shirt made so I can wear it to work... and tell people off without actually telling them off, lol
@lurvleybunchofcoconuts It is essentially a hot/cold pack. But it is filled with oat grains. I just throw it in the microwave and use it on my neck. Best thing, especially in winter. I toss it under the covers a few minutes before I climb in and no cold sheets!
@darkstar42 Thank you for that recommendation. I will have to check it out. Neck pain can really be the worst. It tends to affect so much. GL for your HSG this afternoon. Let us know how it goes.
@skilledSailor I dont have any myself. But I have toyed with the idea for years. I just struggle to settle on something that would be meaningful to me in years to come. I have a few thoughts though. Glad the fluff ball is ok.
@blackhottamales Sigh....if it isnt on US Netflix, it likely wont be on the Canadian one either. Thanks for the heads up. Back to the drawing board.
@lurvelybunchococonuts - thanks girl! Not going to lie, I could use a day off soon!
Thank you all for your support, it really means a lot!

@lurvleybunchococnuts That's so great about your friend!
@josie12367 yay for the new sexy duds!!!
@nitnat007 love that saying! Hope your DH is safe down there! This hurricane season is bonkers
@katm89 so glad you are here with us this cycle, and (tw) so sorry about your chemical... so devastating. Just a little fyi... we usually add TW (trigger warning) when talking about losses and other stuff just so people can be aware when reading a post. I love your quote! I feel like ive heard it before but not sure where!
@ajsanders-2 Any Dumbledore quote works for me!
@Skilledsailor I always wondered about your SN!!! Love this story!
@dukestar5 yay CD1 buddy!!!
@krashke lucky you! At my job, someone elses poor work is always my business
@darkstar-42 Hope your HSG went well!
@mrstmoose could be today is o day for you... its tough with that extra EWCM....
@canucklehead123 the creamy quality CM is the start of your FW... the spotting can be from something unrelated, though... leftover from AF maybe. You can usually tell (tmi) by color (brown for old red for new)
@stargazer1lily SO GLAD I'm not the only one who didn't have a quote! lol
