Cycle Day/DPO: 18/6

Timing: 0, or -0, 1

Typical LP length:  15ish

Testing:  I have a large amount of tests in this house, which is bad.  So, here's to hoping I hold out until 9dpos.

R/R: rave- unexpected day off of work.  It won't be a rave tomorrow when I have a ton of work to catch up on, and my BFF only worked today this week, so I won't see her any this week.  Rant- I haven't slept well in days.

CS/Q:  none

GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush?
Joe Perry from Aerosmith

Month/Cycle: 9/9

Cycle Day/DPO: 17/5

Timing: -3, O or -4, -1. FF has my O date the same day as my +OPK and I’m not sure if it’s correct.

Typical LP length: 12

Testing: 3/24

R/R: I’m halfway through a book called Beartown and it’s so good! If anyone is looking for a good read, I highly recommend it. Also, The Greatest Showman comes out on DVD tomorrow and I’m super excited to buy it and watch it on repeat.

CS/Q: 

GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? I was absolutely obsessed with Zac Hanson and Jonathon Taylor Thomas. I tortured my parents with Mmm Bop and The Lion King soundtrack.

ETA: DPO

fantasyflyte

Month/Cycle: 1/1

Cycle Day/DPO: 27/6

Timing: -1, O

Typical LP length: unsure

Testing: trying to wait until Friday or Saturday if I can make myself

R/R: Rant - woke up several times last night after vivid dreams again. Strange dreams aren't unusual for me, but it feels like they've been more intense recently.
Rave - dress shopping yesterday was fun and we got all the dresses picked out. Plus mine is super comfy and would still work if I get pregnant beforehand.

CS/Q: temp was low when I first took it this morning, but then higher than yesterday when I tried a second time immediately after. I went with the higher one since I think I might have had air in my mouth when taking the first one.

GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Justin Long

Month/Cycle: 14/11

Cycle Day/DPO: 26/10

Timing: -5, -2, -1

Typical LP length: 14/15 dAYS

Testing: Waiting for AF

R/R: Rant: I feel slightly out of sorts today, but I don't know why. I'm angry yet subdued. I still feel funny at work since my boss was let go. Maybe it is the Monday Blues. Tomorrow I have to go to the dentist again as she discovered the beginnings of two cavities last week I haven't had one since I was 4, so maybe I should be grateful? Rave: Trying to focus on something positive, but I don't know that I can. I have been able to make my one cup of coffee last for 5 hours. I'm pretty proud 

CS/Q: -

GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? No judgement, but Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys. I was young and impressionable and he was dreamy. 

@eleven_ I totally understand the Zac Hanson crush. He was my second after Nick Carter. In fourth grade, we were allowed to bring in a tape to listen to at lunchtime. I brought in Hanson and all of my classmates left the room. I got to belt it out all by myself

@holly321 I know what you mean. It is a double-edged sword with vacation/snow days. Hopefully, you get to enjoy today even with tomorrow looming.

@fantasyflyte I apologize if you have already answered this, but what is your dress for?

eleven_

@meri-mac Yes! I love that you liked Zac too and not Taylor. I follow him on Instagram! FFFC?  I still find him pretty attractive. I think he is the reason why I love men with long hair! Sorry your feeling out of sorts today. Mondays get to me too. 

fantasyflyte

@meri-mac I'm a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding in about 6 months.

@eleven_ have you already seen the Greatest Showman? I haven't seen it yet but thought it looked good and was waiting for it to hit Redbox.

@holly321 same here on the tests, I have three different brands in my bathroom right now lol!

eleven_

@fantasyflyte Yes, I've seen it and it's fantastic!

Month/Cycle: 7/7

Cycle Day/DPO: 17/1

Timing: -2,-1,0 going to try tonight for good measure. 

Typical LP length: 14 

Testing: I can't even think about that right now. Not for awhile

R/R: spent ALL day yesterday building a stupid shed.  We came in at 10:30, it was freezing cold. 40 degrees and raining.  H and I we're both miserable and pissed off and didn't even get to the roof. I literally had no idea how complicated it would be.  I thought it would be a hour job max. NOPE!!!!!! if you're thinking about buying a shed do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on one that's easy to assemble. F that f-ing shed right in the face. Rave - I had a great time at our friend's house for St Patrick's day

CS/Q: when you get multiple +opks do you enter each one and let FF tell you which is O day.   I was going to temp but didn't start early enough. I ovulated 4 days earlier then normal so I thought it would be useless. Based on my first +opk. But I've had 3 days of +. 

GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush?
Great question @holly321! 
I had two major crushes!  Devon Sawa and Josh Hartnett. Devon was probably first because I saw him in Now and then.  


I was hoping to see more pictures of everyone's crushes!  We need some eye candy!  

eleven_

@galactickates I enter all of the positive OPKs in FF and let it decide. I have no idea what it will choose for you since you aren't temping, but I would put all of them in there so you have the info when you look back. OMG I loved Devon Sawa especially in Casper. I thought he was sooooo dreamy. 

galactickates

That's right!  Don't even get me started on Casper! I would watch the whole movie over and over again just to see him.  And why was christina Ricci always kissing him? She got two movies with him!  I was always jealous of her lol and I didn't think she was that pretty.  Also WTH has she been?  I just remembered she was even an actress.

maureenmce

@holly321 Yay for an unexpected day off! Hopefully you can catch up on some of that sleep you've been missing. I also have a bunch of leftover tests lying around and it's really going to be a test of my resolve to wait.

@eleven_ I've never heard of Beartown, I'll have to look it up! I'm on the hunt for a good book to read. Also, I don't know if we talked about this before, but my best friend from college was OBSESSED with Hanson to the point that she dragged me along to a bunch of their shows, so I have probably seen them live, like a dozen times! She was WAY into Taylor, haha.

@fantasyflyte You're so close to being able to test! Woo! Also, glad your dress shopping went well and that your dress would work if you got pregnant.

@meri-mac I'm sorry you're feeling out of sorts and sorry about the beginnings of cavities. Though, thank you for posting about that because it reminded me that I had a cavity in January that I didn't have time to fill and I forgot to call my dentist back and schedule the filling! Ack!

@galactickates Ugh, so sorry about the shed trouble! Though I find it super impressive that you're building a shed in the first place Is it for storage or is it kind of a backyard office/work space? (I've seen people do that and it's awesome!)

Month/Cycle: 2/2 ***TW after 2 losses end TW***

Cycle Day/DPO: CD18/4DPO (if I'm right, I may be 1 day off)

Timing: -3, -2, -1, O, +1 (again, I may be one day off)

Typical LP length: unsure

Testing: Gave myself a pep talk about waiting until the appropriate time to test this morning. Gonna try really hard to hold out until the day before my period is expected to arrive. Maaaaybe two days before, if I just can't help myself.

R/R: I started a new, stricter diet today! This is both a rant and a rave, lol. It's basically four small, preplanned meals a day and NO snacks. (Snacks are the thing that always trip me up and my office has a bajillion readily available snacks, so it's gonna be tough but I really need to lose about 10-15 pounds to get back to my happy weight, so I'm sticking to it.)

CS/Q: Nope!

GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block (lol) followed by a very intense, years long crush on Fox Mulder from the X Files.

galactickates

I completely forgot about this,  TTC has completely taken over my brain.  I had a dream that I bought a box of OPKs and it came with a travel size ferning microscope.  I got on TB and told @dragonette505 and she was like "ya I don't know why people don't buy that brand more!  I love mine" 

So goofy. 

holly321

@eleven_ FF has my O date the same as my positive OPK too.  Which, I really hope is wrong because it gives me better timing.

@maureenmce, good luck with the diet.  I need to get back to eating better, as I finish my cinnamon roll.  That's the problem with not working, lol.

Month/Cycle: 4th iui

Cycle Day/DPO: 2piui

Timing: -2, 0, +1

Typical LP length: 14/16

Testing: 3/31; this clinic told me to do an at home test. They don't do beta unless to confirm. I didn't expect this, but I cried because it was my plan to never do an at home test again. I wanted to do only betas and not be told anything unless something good was happening. 

R/R: I miss @Whitmore1027

GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush? Leo Di'Caprio  

maureenmce

@suzycupcake I'm so sorry they're making you do an at home test.  

CecilB93

Month/Cycle: 2/1

Cycle Day/DPO: 35/11 if I'm right on O day 

Timing: I think -4, +1

Typical LP length: 12-13 days

Testing: Thursday morning if AF doesn't arrive!! I get home late Wednesday from visiting my mom or else I'd have tested already!

R/R: Rave - it's my bday and my mom is taking me for a mani/pedi in half an hour!! It's been so long since I've had either done!

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Who was your first celebrity crush?
Hmm...I'm not sure honestly. Maybe Zac Efron? That'd be a pretty logical guess for me, lol.

@eleven_ glad to hear you enjoyed The Greatest Showman!! I heard from a couple people that they hated it. I haven't seen it yet but I can't wait!

@suzycupcake ugh so sorry they won't do betas for you.

@maureenmce good luck with the diet!! I think snacking is my big problem, too. DH and I have been eating out a lot though (meaning fast food) due to traveling, so that's not really helping either if it goes well for you I may have to try that!

eleven_

@CecilB93 Happy Birthday!!! Have fun getting your mani/pedi.

maureenmce

@CecilB93 Happy happy birthday!

suzycupcake

@CecilB93

meri-mac

@CecilB93 I can't top @suzycupcake, but Happy Birthday!

CecilB93

Hahaha @suzycupcake omg that's perfect. Thanks guys!! The mani/pedi was great!!

I loved Josh Hartnett too @galactickates, none of my friends thought he was as dreamy as I did.  I fell in love after seeing him in Pearl Harbor- that white tank top and the military uniform
