GTKY: What’s the best thing that’s happen to you this week? Fostering a senior dog of course! I am In love with him. When i was texting with the Rescue yesterday they told me they have a couple people interested in him, my heart sank a lil Bc I’ve grown so attached(though i think the man of the house is a little more attached than I am), shoot I was Attached before I picked Him up lol and as much as we would LOVE to adopt him, we are going through IVF and it’s just not the right time. I will Obviously foster him as long as need be, but the medical expenses will be too much for us to handle at the moment. As for now i will spoil him and love him as if he were my own. Now if we can all send him positive doggie Health vibes he still pretty sick and I think he’s been sent to me to prepare me for sleepless night, as he’s up coughing all night long. We have a strong opiate cough med for him at night but today I think We’ll stick with the robitussin as I do not want him to develop a dependency on them... yes dogs can just like people.
What are you thankful for this week? Thankful that I am Able to open my home to this sweet senior dog! I am Also thankful to my mother once again for taking my dog as what the foster has is VERY Contagious.

Questions for the group:
GTKY: What’s the best thing that’s happen to you this week? Yesterday we did our annual Peddlers village trip went out to eat walked around and did some shopping. I bought this delish goda smoked cheese and olives stuffed with feta from this Italian shop so yummy. That's how they get you with samples. I also got my mom these two shirts she saw she liked without her seeing me.
What are you thankful for this week? That I have a 3 day weekend coming up!!!!
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): CD37, 15 DPO. I've been spotting in the am and pm daily since 10DPO, which is not normal for me. But I'm not pregnant (tested and first response should have surely shown by now, also progesterone related PMS symptoms seem to have peaked Saturday and now are gone.) Now I wonder if I just didn't ovulate this cycle.
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): PNV, Ubiquinol.
Rants/Raves: Rant - this first cycle tracking has been a bit crazy-making! Rave - Holiday season is coming and I'll be visiting my parents & siblings in less than 1 week. Yes!
Questions for the group: If my period doesn't show up for real, does this warrant visit to the doctor? Or should I relax, count the spotting as a period, and move on to next cycle?
GTKY: What’s the best thing that’s happen to you this week? Got an extra dog this weekend (dog sitting for a friend) and got in a couple great hikes in nice weather
What are you thankful for this week? Time off starting on Wednesday! I'm taking some vacation days (staycation) to extend the holiday because I've been so burned out lately.
@Labluver2 He’s really really sick. Doc called with the blood work and he has pneumonia for an older dog you know how bad that is here is what we have to do tonight . 2 different shots, IV fluids and oral medication. Looks like I wont Be the only getting shots tonight
All my googling basically says "you are pregnant, or it means something bad." I really don't think I'm pregnant. But, Google tends to underrepresent the "weird, but no big deal" situations. This is why I need to talk to a doctor...
@ndz2018 congrats on starting the IVF cycle and good luck!
@ndz2018 I was scared at first to give myself the shots my husband did it for me but one night he had to work and I had to give it to myself it took me 25 mins to finally poke myself lol. I'm now a pro at it and it only takes me a second. Hoping the pup is feeling better and on the mend. Poor thing.
@Labluver2 He’s doing ehhh ok. Coughing A LOT! I mean He’s on hydromet but he hates the syringe so I have To sneak attack him when he’s not looking. When the meds wear off it’s sounds so much worse!! Hoping in the next few days he starts feeling better. Going to grab saline drops today as it may be the dry heat bothering him along with the pneumonia he’s got crusties on his nose, which I’m sure he’ll love. I also sit in steam showers with him that seems to help a bit too.
CD, CD/DPO (if applicable): CD 8
What are you doing this cycle? (Testing? Treatment? Vitamins/supplements?): Temping and timing.
Rants/Raves: Rant: My DD has been sick the past week and a half and as a result she's been a complete and total nightmare. She goes to her dad's for a week starting Friday and I'm almost ashamed to admit I'm counting down the days.
Questions for the group: Has anyone heard of/had success with softcups for TTC? We're contemplating giving that a go this month.
GTKY: What’s the best thing that’s happened to you this week? It's really been a crap week so far. DD's sick, I'm sick, she's been doing nothing but argue with me and I haven't slept well so I'm cranky. I guess the best thing about this week is that it's half over now.
What are you thankful for this week? MH has been doing such a great job at helping me keep it together. I've been riding my last nerve every day so far.
Status (WTO/TWW/Benched/in process of testing or treatment): Benched sort of- but NTNP in reality... RE said she didn't want me pregnant for 6-8 weeks post ectopic

@harleyquinn0621 Welcome back! How are you feeling?
So 1 of our parakeets passed away suddenly last night - we have 2. This one was only 4 and the other one is 8. His name was Rainbow and DD picked him out and named him when she was 3. We haven't told her yet but plan on it in the morning and then doing a burial in the backyard. I'm sure she will be upset. It made me kinda sad this morning - he was a good bird.
When we had to talk to our niece about our sweet sweet golden , Odin passing there happen to be a thunderstorm that day and I told her that Odin was called back to his rightful home in the heavens and that everytime you hear thunder not to be afraid, it’s just Odin barking saying hello.
