@emmasemm Sometimes I like to start a daily close to midnight where I am located. I don’t want you to feel like you always have to start it or not have anything to post on before the rest of the world is awake and you go to bed (Yes, I think about these things....!)
I just got home from drinks, @chopchop25 I'm a west coast best coaster too! @jrm_14 love the GTKY! I'm going to fill it out now so I can just reply in the morning. That works well for Friyay laziness!

WAYDTGKU: All
R/R: - I'm going to spare everyone the gory details but the gist of it is I got a medical bill written off today and offered free counseling by my Dr's office. I was pretty worked up having to relive and explain everything but the girl I talked to on the phone was so caring and sympathetic. I feel relieved to be done with that.
C/S:
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know? Yes he knows, I think it bothers him when I'm on my phone too much sometimes, but I told him how much support I got after my loss from all the ladies and I think he really likes that. He's not good with emotional stuff and feelings. He's an engineer in technology. He's basically part robot. I think he's relieved to not have to talk about ttc(al) all the time and that I have an outlet for it.
@jrm_14 haha thanks!!! It’s so weird when I wake up and the west coasters are still posting from the day before... @galactickates you have reminded me I should probably try to do more west coast Sunday evening, my time Monday morning with my friends in Cali... And well done with that bill! I read the thread you talked about that on a few weeks ago.
And although I’m not WTO anymore, I will answer the GTKY - yes DH knows, sometimes he raises his eyebrows how much time I spend on the weekend, but he doesn’t want to read or know as he knows I haven’t told anyone IRL, whereas he had three male colleagues “come out” about doing IVF with their wives, so they all do male bonding at lunch about it... in fact it even helped him get a good relationship with the CIO of the company and helped his career... oh how different it is for men!!!

@jrm_14 way to be ON THE BALL! @galactickates sending hugs to you on having to relive things that can be hard to think about again. But I’m such a pusher for counselling and it’s great that it’s free!

WAYDTGKU: PNVs. Charting. Going to start HIO if H gets his butt home tonight.
R/R: it’s friday. H is getting home. My moms dogs are being picked up tomorrow. Finally back to normal! And another chiro apt today! Rant: my boss is an asshat.
C/S:
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know? Yes. He doesn’t know I’m back on the TTGP board though *TW* I am still super close with about 15 of the girls from my N16 BMB. We send Christmas cards and have been really open with each other. He gets really mad because he thinks I’m being catfished. he would probably be more okay with TTGP as I keep everything more private here.
@jrm_14 You are so thoughtful! @galactickates Where do you live on the west coast? I can't remember! That's so wonderful that you got your bill written off! I'm sorry that you had to relive the pain of your experience, but I'm so excited for you that it worked out. Good for you for sticking up for yourself! And lol about your husband being part robot. @emmasemm That's cool that your husband has gotten to bond with some coworkers over IVF stuff. Have you gotten to meet any of their wives to talk about it? @kristah2 Hope your husband makes it home safely! I'm sorry about your boss. I've been having struggles at work too.

WAYDTGKU: Positive OPK yesterday, so I stayed up until midnight waiting for MH to finish playing video games so we could get it on. I'm so tired this morning!
R/R: Ehhhh. Woes at work. I feel like I'm working my butt off and my coworkers aren't pulling their weight, but no one cares. But I lined up a new job that starts in a couple of months, so I don't have to worry about it for too much longer! Rave: FRIDAY!
GTKY: He knows I'm on TB and he thinks it's kind of weird. He thinks it makes me more obsessed about TTC. In his mind, I just need to stop thinking about TTC and it'll be fine. I've tried to explain to him that I'm going to think about it no matter what and it helps to have an outlet on TB. He doesn't really say anything about it anymore though, and he usually spends a ton of time just browsing Twitter, so at least we both have something to do online.
Hope it's ok if I jump in here today. I intro'd a few weeks ago but have been hanging in TFAS because I was ntnp for a while.

WAYDTGKU: will be getting opk's, vaguely keeping an eye on cm, tracking my cycle and pre seed.
R/R: Just kind of nervous/excited to be trying for real.
C/S:
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know? He doesn't. He has a job that basically is pretty paranoia inducing so he wouldn't be thrilled with the idea of me talking about personal stuff on the internet even though it's "anonymous." Last time around he knew I lurked on some kind of baby board but he didn't know what. He thought it made me upset to read it, but really I would just always come on when I was already upset and it would make me feel better. So here I am again!
@galactickates - sorry about drs. office incident, glad its over with! @emmasemm - i'm jealous of how comfortable men are discussing stuff like this! I had a coworker randomly tell me all about him and his wife doing ivf. I would never be able to open up like that in person, it's admirable! @kristah2 - yay for your husband being home! @offtoneverland - sorry about the coworkers, that is a terrible feeling. Sounds like they are going to be lost without you in a couple months @rosebud332 - welcome!

WAYDTGKU: All the things + preseed + less coffee but maybe more than 1 cup?
R/R: So my cycle was shorter than usual last month, and as a result, we now have a shot, all be it a long one, during fertile week! -4 for the win! I'd like to thank my rapidly aging uterus for being a team player this month!
C/S:
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know? He doesn't, but just because i've never mentioned it. I will refer to talking to people online about ttc stuff, but have never referenced the bump specifically. I've never even thought about it!
R/R: My H hurt his shoulder and had to schedule all his PT appointments during his work day, meaning he has to work late those days to make up the hours. He already gets home close to 8 as it is, I hate when he's not here before I go to bed.
C/S: Not really, just anxious to see when/if I ovulate this cycle
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know?
*TW* I still talk to my July 2013 BMB on a daily basis and we've had several get togethers and he knows I met them on here. I haven't told him out right that I'm posting on TTGP, but he would be supportive. End TW*

R/R: So I got up in the middle of the night to let the dogs do their business and I guess I didn`t close the door tight after I let them in, because this morning I woke up to an angry H cursing that he fixed the door and that it had blown open in the night. I told I let the dogs out so there`s nothing wrong with the door that I must not have closed it tight. Good thing we live remote or some stranger could have walked in.

@galactickates OMG that this the BEST NEWS!! I’m
so happy you got that taken care of. @kristah2 Yay for you DH getting home and the
dogs leaving @offtoneverland Yay for the positive OPK! I was
hoping to get mine last night too because that’s when I got it last month. My
DH plays video games also. What is your DH into? That is the worst when you feel
like you are doing way more than your fair share at work. My last job was the same which caused me to switch companies. Congrats on the new job! Is
it the same line of work? Sorry your DH doesn’t really understand why you are
TB. Sometimes I wish I was a little less obsessed with TTC and DH was a little
more interested so we could balance each other out. @jengibre_zorro I’m glad you guys are getting
at least one good day during your fertile time. FX for you! @coco2787 I’m so sorry your DH hurt his
shoulder! I also hate when DH isn’t here when I go to bed. I have such a hard
time falling asleep. Do you think he will recover quickly? I feel you on being
nervous/anxious waiting to see if you O this cycle. I’m in the same boat ATM.

GTKY: Yes, my DH
knows I’m on TB. He likes that I can find support here. Sometimes it
annoys him if I am on it too much in the evening. But my DH plays this stupid
game a lot so we are basically on our phones the same amount of time.

I hope you guys can catch that FW still! @offtoneverland Haha, that's dedication! I would have kicked my H's butt off the games and made him go back to them after! And woohoo for a new job coming - do you have an official start date already? @rosebud332 Welcome to the dailies! The first month is always so exciting when TTC - I hope you don't have to be here long! @jengibre_zorro Your rapidly aging uterus being a team player made me lol. I'm glad you'll have a shot! I will be missing the first half of my FW this month so I am hoping mine cooperates with me and is a bit late this month! @coco2787 What time does he start his work days? Mine goes in at 5 and is home by 3:30/4 usually so we get the evenings together but I never see him in the mornings. Do you guys get time together in the mornings? @Stargazer1lily Our front door doesn't latch properly so we have to lock ours (although we also live in the city so would be stupid not to) to keep it closed. All I can think of its how much heat having an open door would let out! @eleven_ Have so much fun snowboarding! I broke my tailbone snowboarding as a teen and have never tried it again but I do love to ski!

WAYDTGKU: Nothing right now other than PNVs.
R/R: Its Friday so I have nothing to rant about, especially since we have an entire weekend with zero plans. I am hoping to pop down to the States one of the days to grab a few things (you Americans get all the good food!) but other than that I think the plan is to relax and maybe start a few small house projects. I also need to hunt down a good work/carry on/travel bag that I can use for a few upcoming work trips that can fit my computer and act as a purse - any recommendations are welcome!
C/S: Nothing to see, still resisting the urge to temp.
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know? He definitely knows because I talk about it all the time and update him when something big happens. He's never really offered an opinion but I've always had fairly strong online communities (**TW - Kids - I've been on IG since the birth of my daughter 7 years ago with a group of ladies from TB back then that all had kids around the same time and have met a number of them in person End TW**) so this isn't new for me. I also met DH online so he knows there is value in virtual relationships.
@galactickates Congrats on being done with the bill and a happy resolution! In which part of the left coast do you reside? I'm in OR (or, as I have to explain to wayyyy too many people, the state NORTH OF CALIFORNIA) @emmasemm That's so neat that he's been able to bond with guys over IVF. What a great outlet for him! @offtoneverland Congrats on the pos OPK and new job!

CD: CD5ish. AF is over so getting ready to start tracking all the things again.
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK
R/R: Just irrationally rationally cranky this morning bc I forgot to take my BBT. I was on a roll and stormed out of the house before DH this morning because he was giving me answers in Spanish before letting me even attempt (this after throwing the dogs on the bed to wake me up-which is adorable but also the reason I forgot to take my temp.) And now my mom is asking me questions for recommendations that I answered for her November. It grinds my gears when people aren't paying attention and don't stop to reflect that that means someone else has to do something twice. If you aren't ready to focus and pay attention, then hold off. I'm an asshat, but at least I'm mildly amused by my antics and own ridiculousness after... (except this second annoyance with my mother right now, that's a for real pet peeve.) I think more coffee this morning will make me a pleasant morning. I'm very thankful DH puts up with my ridiculousness and rant-y days. Okay. The End. Sorry about that one.
C/S: going to be over the top on daily OPKs soon since AF was a little early
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know? Yup, he's happy I'm here because all of my local friends basically got pregnant as soon as they decided to start trying.
@chopchop25 I forgot to take mine today too and ugh it is frustrating when that happens. @elothair your weekend sounds like mine. I am so excited to have nothing planned and no obligations. I would actually look at diaper bags weirdly. I travel a lot for work and they are the most practical way to organize all your crap and still function properly. @eleven_ K for real. I swear you are from my state too. Maybe I'll see ya on the slopes this weekend . @offtoneverland lol your hubby sounds like mine. I'm like for real, you are picking video games over HIO right now?? And I feel like that too at work right now. It is getting to me and has made me irrationally emotional this week. @galactickates I'm glad your bill got taken care of. What a relief.

He acts like 14 months isn't very long to be trying and that I'm crazy for being so upset and concerned about it. It feels so good to have found a place to talk and relate to people though, so I'll tell him soon.
Thanks ladies for all the cheers about my bill. I was really struggling with that. Not because of the money but the principal of it. I actually feel like a huge weight is off me. Also @offtoneverland-yay for the +opk! And @chopchop25 I'm in OR too! I'm on the west side of the river. You probably know exactly what I mean by that and isn't that the most ridiculous thing.... there are literally only 3 states on the west coast. 3!!!!!!! Everyone knows cali, most people know WA. How do you not know what's in the middle??? It's 1 state. Like a state sandwich. Oregon is the cheese! Which works even better because Tillamook!
@galactickates hahaha your OR rant made me so happy. Also on the west side, but a little further out in that town un-officially run/taken over by a giant company
Also, does this mean OR is the cream of an Oreo cookie? Because I never thought of it like that, but I love Oreos and that would make me super happy.
@krissy2241 I have been on here awhile and no one is ever from my state. I was so excited when you talked about the inversion @galactickates@chopchop25 I love Oregon so much!

@chopchop25! Me too! Ha! We just sold our house but building in same area! That's so funny! I like your oreo reference better! I can totally go on forever about people not knowing. It happens all the time. I lived in AZ for a bit and you wouldn't believe the conversations I would have with people. "Oh Oregon.... that's the place that has steep Roofs" "uuuuuuuuh *blank face* I mean... they look like roofs???" That actually happened. @Eleven_ what beach? I love the Oregon Coast. That's where H proposed. I could retire there. Swoon
@chopchop25@galactickates I honestly can't believe people don't know where OR is. We were looking at houses all over the coast. We went to Seaside and LOVED it but there were NO jobs. DH got a job offer in Coos Bay but I read really terrible things about the city so we were unsure. We even considered Eugene and Salem because there were way more jobs, but then my best friend who lived in Portland decided to move back to Utah. She really freaked me out about the giant earthquake and the tsunami. Even though Utah is due for one too

@Eleven_ we were a little freaked about the earth quake too but honestly were all toast if Yellowstone blows, it's not really avoidable. I feel pretty safe being in the valley. But I don't really want any more transplants (just you and DH are welcome lol)- for everyone else - Oregon is awful! No one should ever move here. Waaaaay to many earth quakes. Just gross.
@eleven_ Happy to see you confirm you are also from Utah . @galactickates and your conversation is cracking me up. People really don't know Oregon? That is crazy.
R/R: it’s 65 degrees and cloudy out (yay warm!) after businesses closed early 2 days this week due to the cold temps and winter weather warning. We live on a cattle farm, so internet depends on the weather, sigh. Needless to say I’m on mobile app and will be back for tags later when the internet decides to work!

I hope the coffee improved things for you! @kiwi2628 How exciting!!! Everything crossed for you that Monday goes well!! @krissy2241 That thought totally crossed my mind - and then I'd be ready with the diaper bag if we did get pregnant! They have the awesome number of pockets which is appealing...I will definitely keep them on the radar, thanks! @galactickates Also OR has the best coast of the 3 states (IMO) - me and DH did our honeymoon up and down the coast there! @eleven_ I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada! @mommy_myers It's crazy to think of internet being weather-dependant!
R/R: It's Friday! Rave: I was just assigned a huge new project at work so it was a really exciting, but good week at work. But I am happy it is Friday because I am exhausted from all of it! Friday usually means date night with DH, and it is usually the only night during the week he comes home from work before 7pm.

bumping (or) why does your SO not know? DH does know I am on TB and he doesn't really have an opinion (yet) about it.
@galactickates MH isn't very good at the emotional stuff either, but he has been trying to be more understanding now that we are TTGP. It is kind of cute how hard he is trying! @chopchop25 and @galactickates I have never been to Oregon (but do know where it is ). What is the one thing you would recommend for visitors? @rosebud332 I am nervous to be trying for real too! But also very excited. What are you most nervous about? This is our first time so I think I am most nervous about how my body will react to any of the new changes.
(This is my first attempt at these tags so I hope I am doing them correctly...sorry if I didn't!)
@spartan4life TW--pregnancy &loss mentioned--This would be my third pregnancy (first was an early loss) so right now I'm most nervous about body changes too. My DD is 10 months so I am hoping my body can keep up with another pregnancy so soon! --End TW
Also @elothair I just have to say...Americans really don't know where the whole country of Canada is?? That's kinda scary! I have to admit I don't really know where the provinces are (is that the right word?) but I definitely know it's on top of us haha
@coco2787 Oh no! I'm so sorry YH hurt his shoulder and will have to work late because of his appointments. I hope you won't be too lonely! Do you have something to keep you occupied? A good TV show or book maybe? @stargazer1lily Oh my goodness! So glad you didn't get any strangers or wild creatures wandering in your house. Was your house freezing when you woke up because of the cold temperatures where you live? @eleven_ MH plays tons of different video games. Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, uhm, I'm having trouble thinking of them all right now. He used to play Destiny a lot with a group of friends online but he doesn't like it much anymore. What does YH play? My new job is in the same line of work, so hopefully the transition goes smoothly. I haven't told anyone in my current office about it yet. They won't be happy when they find out, but oh well. I definitely need a change for my stress levels. I've been wondering if my stress is contributing to my recent issues with TTC. Also, you live in Utah? I visited Utah for a short work trip over the summer and I LOVED it. @elothair lol, I totally forgot about FW when I told him he could go play video games. It wasn't until I was going to bed that I was like "dammit! It's FW!" I didn't mind staying up late though because I got to finish my book! My start date for my new job will be either the end of June or July. Work is kind of weird right now; I started a temporary 6-month position in another office, but I'm still supporting my old office for a few hours per week. So once the temporary position is done, I'll be able to switch right over to the new one. As for your question, DH got this Swiss Gear backpack from Target several months ago for a work trip and it's FANTASTIC. We love it and now we fight over who gets to use it. (In case the link doesn't work, it's the "6067 Getaway 2.0 Big Backpack." Kind of pricey, but worth it! We've both used it for international trips and were able to fit in our carry on items plus one or two changes of clothes just in case luggage gets lost. @kiwi2628 Good luck on Monday!! @krissy2241 I'm sorry you've been dealing with a similar situation at work. It's so awful! I started doing acupuncture last week and so far I really like it for the stress relief. Hopefully it helps with the fertility things too! @spartan4life What are your date night plans for tonight? Hope you enjoy!
@elothair he works 11-7:30, we don't really get time in the morning either because of my schedule and because he likes to sleep in a little bit. Yay for a weekend with no plans! @chopchop25 sorry about the crazy morning and forgetting to temp @kiwi2628 yay! Good luck on Monday! @spartan4life glad you had a good work week, good luck on the project and enjoy your date night! @offtoneverland yeah, I usually watch a show or something, I just have a hard time going to sleep if he isn't home yet. I'm a worrier @emmasemm that's great your H has guys at work he can talk to. I've sort of always assumed guys don't talk to each other about stuff like that.

@rosebud332 Yes! We have shows here were people ask Americans trivia about Canada and it's ridiculous how ignorant some people are. There are lots that can't point out Canada on a map, and another group that is pretty certain we all live in igloos. I'm sure (hopefully) it's not the majority of Americans but it's still pretty impressive they are able to find so many bad answers. And to be fair I couldn't tell you with exact precision where are all states are so not knowing where our provinces and territories are makes sense - although I think we learn a lot more about American stuff in school than American schools teach about Canada! @offtoneverland That backpack looks awesome - thanks!!
@coco2787 I also assumed the same... but apparently it started when one guy mentioned he was having twins, another said oh do they run in your family, he said no it’s from transferring two embryos doing IVF, and then several more of them said they had either done it or were doing it. The weirdest thing (for me) is most of them did IVF due to issues with sperm quality and now in this small group they talk about it very openly!!! What it does mean is that when we have ER day he has less explaining to do than me - he just says “oh taking my wife in for retrieval” and they all go “oh sure, hope it goes well and what can we cover for you...” And the CIO approached him and said “oh I hear you’re going through IVF too, let’s have lunch and I can hear about your work and share my experience of IVF”. Men are strange creatures sometimes

@spartan4life ALL.THE.THINGS. A trip to the vineyards, eating your way through the city, hiking in the gorge, seeing the mountains, and driving the coast. There's so much to do here over a week, and if you can add a second week then you can get down to Bend, Sisters, Crater Lake, Painted Hills, and more!
@offtoneverland We went for sushi and then to our favorite place for wine and dessert. They had two different types of cheesecake, so of course we ate both!
@chopchop25 That sounds awesome! We love food, wine, and hiking...I have never thought of Oregon as a vacation destination, but may have to look in to it for a vacation some day!

R/R: - I'm going to spare everyone the gory details but the gist of it is I got a medical bill written off today and offered free counseling by my Dr's office. I was pretty worked up having to relive and explain everything but the girl I talked to on the phone was so caring and sympathetic. I feel relieved to be done with that.
C/S:
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know?
Yes he knows, I think it bothers him when I'm on my phone too much sometimes, but I told him how much support I got after my loss from all the ladies and I think he really likes that. He's not good with emotional stuff and feelings. He's an engineer in technology. He's basically part robot. I think he's relieved to not have to talk about ttc(al) all the time and that I have an outlet for it.
@galactickates you have reminded me I should probably try to do more west coast Sunday evening, my time Monday morning with my friends in Cali...
And well done with that bill! I read the thread you talked about that on a few weeks ago.
And although I’m not WTO anymore, I will answer the GTKY - yes DH knows, sometimes he raises his eyebrows how much time I spend on the weekend, but he doesn’t want to read or know as he knows I haven’t told anyone IRL, whereas he had three male colleagues “come out” about doing IVF with their wives, so they all do male bonding at lunch about it... in fact it even helped him get a good relationship with the CIO of the company and helped his career... oh how different it is for men!!!

Yes. He doesn’t know I’m back on the TTGP board though
*TW* I am still super close with about 15 of the girls from my N16 BMB. We send Christmas cards and have been really open with each other. He gets really mad because he thinks I’m being catfished.
he would probably be more okay with TTGP as I keep everything more private here.
@galactickates Where do you live on the west coast? I can't remember! That's so wonderful that you got your bill written off! I'm sorry that you had to relive the pain of your experience, but I'm so excited for you that it worked out. Good for you for sticking up for yourself! And lol about your husband being part robot.
@emmasemm That's cool that your husband has gotten to bond with some coworkers over IVF stuff. Have you gotten to meet any of their wives to talk about it?

GTKY: He knows I'm on TB and he thinks it's kind of weird. He thinks it makes me more obsessed about TTC. In his mind, I just need to stop thinking about TTC and it'll be fine. I've tried to explain to him that I'm going to think about it no matter what and it helps to have an outlet on TB. He doesn't really say anything about it anymore though, and he usually spends a ton of time just browsing Twitter, so at least we both have something to do online.

C/S:
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know?
He doesn't. He has a job that basically is pretty paranoia inducing so he wouldn't be thrilled with the idea of me talking about personal stuff on the internet even though it's "anonymous." Last time around he knew I lurked on some kind of baby board but he didn't know what. He thought it made me upset to read it, but really I would just always come on when I was already upset and it would make me feel better. So here I am again!
@emmasemm - i'm jealous of how comfortable men are discussing stuff like this! I had a coworker randomly tell me all about him and his wife doing ivf. I would never be able to open up like that in person, it's admirable!
@kristah2 - yay for your husband being home!

GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know? He doesn't, but just because i've never mentioned it.

@kristah2 Yay for you DH getting home and the dogs leaving
@offtoneverland Yay for the positive OPK! I was hoping to get mine last night too because that’s when I got it last month. My DH plays video games also. What is your DH into? That is the worst when you feel like you are doing way more than your fair share at work. My last job was the same which caused me to switch companies. Congrats on the new job! Is it the same line of work? Sorry your DH doesn’t really understand why you are TB. Sometimes I wish I was a little less obsessed with TTC and DH was a little more interested so we could balance each other out.
@jengibre_zorro I’m glad you guys are getting at least one good day during your fertile time. FX for you!

@Stargazer1lily Our front door doesn't latch properly so we have to lock ours (although we also live in the city so would be stupid not to) to keep it closed. All I can think of its how much heat having an open door would let out!

I am hoping to pop down to the States one of the days to grab a few things (you Americans get all the good food!) but other than that I think the plan is to relax and maybe start a few small house projects. I also need to hunt down a good work/carry on/travel bag that I can use for a few upcoming work trips that can fit my computer and act as a purse - any recommendations are welcome!
C/S: Nothing to see, still resisting the urge to temp.
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know? He definitely knows because I talk about it all the time and update him when something big happens. He's never really offered an opinion but I've always had fairly strong online communities (**TW - Kids - I've been on IG since the birth of my daughter 7 years ago with a group of ladies from TB back then that all had kids around the same time and have met a number of them in person End TW**) so this isn't new for me. I also met DH online so he knows there is value in virtual relationships.

CD: CD5ish. AF is over so getting ready to start tracking all the things again.
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK
R/R: Just irrationally rationally cranky this morning bc I forgot to take my BBT. I was on a roll and stormed out of the house before DH this morning because he was giving me answers in Spanish before letting me even attempt (this after throwing the dogs on the bed to wake me up-which is adorable but also the reason I forgot to take my temp.) And now my mom is asking me questions for recommendations that I answered for her November. It grinds my gears when people aren't paying attention and don't stop to reflect that that means someone else has to do something twice. If you aren't ready to focus and pay attention, then hold off.
I'm an asshat, but at least I'm mildly amused by my antics and own ridiculousness after... (except this second annoyance with my mother right now, that's a for real pet peeve.)
I think more coffee this morning will make me a pleasant morning. I'm very thankful DH puts up with my ridiculousness and rant-y days.
Okay. The End. Sorry about that one.

GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know? Yup, he's happy I'm here because all of my local friends basically got pregnant as soon as they decided to start trying.

R/R: Monday is the day! I have 8 mature and 5 that may or mat not be mature by ER day! Yay!

GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know?
Yes, he does. He thinks its good for me for an outlet and for gathering knowledge about this whole process
@elothair your weekend sounds like mine. I am so excited to have nothing planned and no obligations. I would actually look at diaper bags weirdly. I travel a lot for work and they are the most practical way to organize all your crap and still function properly.
@eleven_ K for real. I swear you are from my state too. Maybe I'll see ya on the slopes this weekend .
@offtoneverland lol your hubby sounds like mine. I'm like for real, you are picking video games over HIO right now?? And I feel like that too at work right now. It is getting to me and has made me irrationally emotional this week.
@galactickates I'm glad your bill got taken care of. What a relief.
Month/Cycle: 14/12

WAYDTGKU: BBT/CM, diet right now.
R/R: Nothing today!
C/S: Nope
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know? LOL NO. He would think it was weird. He acts like 14 months isn't very long to be trying and that I'm crazy for being so upset and concerned about it. It feels so good to have found a place to talk and relate to people though, so I'll tell him soon.
Also, does this mean OR is the cream of an Oreo cookie? Because I never thought of it like that, but I love Oreos and that would make me super happy.
@galactickates @chopchop25 I love Oregon so much! We almost moved to the OR coast last year. You guys are so lucky.
@kiwi2628 Everything crossed for you!!!

R/R: it’s 65 degrees and cloudy out (yay warm!) after businesses closed early 2 days this week due to the cold temps and winter weather warning. We live on a cattle farm, so internet depends on the weather, sigh. Needless to say I’m on mobile app and will be back for tags later when the internet decides to work!
C/S: nada
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know?
Nope. My DH is a totally left brained civil engineer and I’m his right brained, emotional, extroverted, free spirited other half. I just don’t think he would get it, or care. Or he would just say, “I think thats great baby” and move on to something else bahahhaha!
ok - like I said - back for tags when the internet gods are back in my favor! Happy Friday ladies!
mama. epicurean. plant lover. wine enthusiast.
@kiwi2628 How exciting!!! Everything crossed for you that Monday goes well!!
@krissy2241 That thought totally crossed my mind - and then I'd be ready with the diaper bag if we did get pregnant! They have the awesome number of pockets which is appealing...I will definitely keep them on the radar, thanks!
@galactickates Also OR has the best coast of the 3 states (IMO) - me and DH did our honeymoon up and down the coast there!
@eleven_ I'm from Vancouver, BC, Canada!
@mommy_myers It's crazy to think of internet being weather-dependant!

R/R: It's Friday! Rave: I was just assigned a huge new project at work so it was a really exciting, but good week at work. But I am happy it is Friday because I am exhausted from all of it! Friday usually means date night with DH, and it is usually the only night during the week he comes home from work before 7pm.
C/S:
GTKY: Does your SO know you are on TB? What are your SO’s thoughts on you bumping (or) why does your SO not know? DH does know I am on TB and he doesn't really have an opinion (yet) about it.
@galactickates MH isn't very good at the emotional stuff either, but he has been trying to be more understanding now that we are TTGP. It is kind of cute how hard he is trying!
@chopchop25 and @galactickates I have never been to Oregon (but do know where it is ). What is the one thing you would recommend for visitors?
@rosebud332 I am nervous to be trying for real too! But also very excited. What are you most nervous about? This is our first time so I think I am most nervous about how my body will react to any of the new changes.
(This is my first attempt at these tags so I hope I am doing them correctly...sorry if I didn't!)
Also @elothair I just have to say...Americans really don't know where the whole country of Canada is?? That's kinda scary! I have to admit I don't really know where the provinces are (is that the right word?) but I definitely know it's on top of us haha
eta typos
@stargazer1lily Oh my goodness! So glad you didn't get any strangers or wild creatures wandering in your house. Was your house freezing when you woke up because of the cold temperatures where you live?
@eleven_ MH plays tons of different video games. Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, uhm, I'm having trouble thinking of them all right now. He used to play Destiny a lot with a group of friends online but he doesn't like it much anymore. What does YH play? My new job is in the same line of work, so hopefully the transition goes smoothly. I haven't told anyone in my current office about it yet. They won't be happy when they find out, but oh well. I definitely need a change for my stress levels. I've been wondering if my stress is contributing to my recent issues with TTC. Also, you live in Utah? I visited Utah for a short work trip over the summer and I LOVED it.
@elothair lol, I totally forgot about FW when I told him he could go play video games. It wasn't until I was going to bed that I was like "dammit! It's FW!" I didn't mind staying up late though because I got to finish my book! My start date for my new job will be either the end of June or July. Work is kind of weird right now; I started a temporary 6-month position in another office, but I'm still supporting my old office for a few hours per week. So once the temporary position is done, I'll be able to switch right over to the new one. As for your question, DH got this Swiss Gear backpack from Target several months ago for a work trip and it's FANTASTIC. We love it and now we fight over who gets to use it. (In case the link doesn't work, it's the "6067 Getaway 2.0 Big Backpack." Kind of pricey, but worth it! We've both used it for international trips and were able to fit in our carry on items plus one or two changes of clothes just in case luggage gets lost.
@kiwi2628 Good luck on Monday!!
@krissy2241 I'm sorry you've been dealing with a similar situation at work. It's so awful! I started doing acupuncture last week and so far I really like it for the stress relief. Hopefully it helps with the fertility things too!
@spartan4life What are your date night plans for tonight? Hope you enjoy!

@offtoneverland yeah, I usually watch a show or something, I just have a hard time going to sleep if he isn't home yet. I'm a worrier
@emmasemm that's great your H has guys at work he can talk to. I've sort of always assumed guys don't talk to each other about stuff like that.

@chopchop25 That sounds awesome! We love food, wine, and hiking...I have never thought of Oregon as a vacation destination, but may have to look in to it for a vacation some day!
