R/R: my conference was so much fun!! I really enjoyed catching up with my music teacher friends from all over the state! I went to some amazing workshops and have a zillion ideas I'm bursting to incorporate into my classroom. Saturday's workshops were by far my favorite. I got a lot of freebies from the vendors and did some serious networking with the representatives from the colleges there to start recruiting music teachers when the three jobs in my district open up. One of the colleges nearby asked if I was interested in taking on a student teacher at some point too which I was open to. The conference was filled with lots of laughter, a few drinks, and I left feeling happy, inspired, and reinvigorated by my profession which is exactly what I wanted out of it.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Are you a coffee or tea person? Coffee all the way. Keep your icky hot leaf water away from me.
Morning!!
@gingermama29 That's awesome that the conference went well and you found some new ideas to incorporate and are reinvigorated by your profession, so important! Also great you were able to network to hopefully help fill the open positions next year. Your chart is looking nice.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 19/4
Timing: Pretty good
Typical LP length: 12ish
Testing: Likely Saturday at 9 DPO
R/R: Great weekend just vegging and catching up on home stuff. Did some meal prepping yesterday so I'm set with breakfast (overnight oats), snack (green smoothie) and lunch (lentil soup) for the next 2/3 days, yay!! Also, bowling Friday night I bowled a turkey (three stikes in a row)!!! It was the last frame and I found my stride... which I promptly lost for the next game
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: stolen from WTO cause I'm not creative enough today. Are you a coffee or tea person? Mostly a coffee person. Need some caffeine in the morning and will have a decaf in the afternoon and sometimes swap it out for a tea. After dinner I'll sometimes have a tea if I'm in the mood. My favorite is a latte though... white chocolate mocha from Starbucks, easy on the flavor syrup to make it less sweet.

@ziggymama06 Well done with the meal prepping! I love the idea of focusing on the first few meals/snacks of the day -- I generally do a better job with dinner when I feel "on track" for the day, so I bet that would spill over into the full day's eating.
Month/Cycle: 6
CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: -2, O
Typical LP length: unknown
Testing: No/WFAF
R/R: We had a great uneventful weekend, and I splurged yesterday on donuts, coffee, and prosecco at brunch (I'm technically avoiding sugar/caffeine/alcohol so...) It's Monday again, but this is the last full work week of the year!
CS/Q: None currently. I lost my BBT and I'm waiting to reorder until AF juuuuuuust in case we don't need to.
GTKY: Are you a coffee or tea person? Coffee, definitely. I've been having just a few sips every morning for the last couple weeks (it's always there tempting me, because DH needs his cup before anything) and I can't wait to have it back in my life!
@ziggymama06 - your meal prep sounds amazing!! That is my kind of food and it should make you feel great 🙂
@emiliadkay - brunch is my Favorite meal on the weekends- sounds so yummy. And a definite cheers to ramping down on 2019!
Month/Cycle: 6
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: -4, -2, 0
Typical LP length: 14-16 days
Testing: I want to test next weekend, but even then will still be early 😁😂
R/R: DH and I got to take my friend's 3yo daughter to the Children's Museum on Sunday so she and her hubby could catch up on housework and XMas shopping. It was a fun and relaxing afternoon! Also got about 100 Christmas cards sent out, probably the earliest I've ever been... Thank God for Shutterfly, lol
CS/Q: Used OPKs around ovulation and currently charting temps, but nothing exciting to report
GTKY: Are you a coffee or tea person? Def with the coffee cohort! There is nothing like that first, fresh hot cup of coffee in the morning 😍 I try to cut back on caffeine while ttc and don't mind tea either. I cannot do decaf coffee though, it tastes gross to me!
@gingermama29 glad your conference was so awesome! The student teacher opportunity sounds awesome.
@ziggymama06 I’m with you on the lattes. I’m a Starbucks addict 100% and pretty much a basic b**** who loves pumpkin spice!
@emiliadkay crossing my fingers for you that you’ll have no need to replace that BBT thermometer!
@ruby0902 how nice that you were able to give your friend and her husband some time off and take their daughter somewhere fun!
Month/Cycle: 1
CD/DPO: 27/6
Timing: -1
Typical LP length: No clue yet since this is first cycle I’ve tracked since IUD removal
Testing: Probably none, I’ve been PMS-y so I’m thinking by this weekend I’ll see AF.
R/R: Mentioned in TFAS too but hubby gave me a Ninja Foodi as an early Christmas gift and I was not expecting it at all because it was outside our budget (he wound up getting a decent deal on it). Anyone else have one and have any good ideas/recipes?
CS/Q: I’m convinced I’m doing something wrong with temps as they look insane. Probably going to try vaginal temping next cycle.
GTKY: stolen from WTO cause I'm not creative enough today. Are you a coffee or tea person? Coffee every day all day!
@ruby0902 Thanks! Your weekend sounds wonderful! And go you getting your Christmas cards out already!! I was planning on doing that too, but instead they are still sitting on my dining room table waiting...
@krystrist2014 Yay for Starbucks! I'm really wanting one this afternoon... but it's raining out and I don't really feel like leaving the office... but the rain is making me want a nice hot treat even moreeee... Your present sounds awesome! Is that like a fancy blender? Hoping your PMS-y symptoms are a good sign and non-AF related!!

BFP 12/13/2019!
EDD 8/27/2020 Baby Girl
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: CD27/9DPO
Timing: -2, +1
Typical LP length: Not sure...
Testing: A few times when I thought I had ovulated earlier, but then my temp shifted the calculated ovulation date.. So now I have to force myself to wait until Friday.
R/R: I am waiting on a call for a new job! I had an interview on Friday that went super duper well, so I hope I get it! I was one of only two people they interviewed, so I feel like I have a really good chance.
CS/Q:
I feel like I might be there this month! I see a temp spike like I have never seen before and I just... feel it. Ya know? I hope this is it!!
GTKY: stolen from WTO cause I'm not creative enough today. Are you a coffee or tea person? I am a coffee person by FAR

@emiliadkay thanks! It was definitely what I needed at this time of the school year! Glad you had a nice quiet weekend with a nice little splurge.
@ruby0902 go you for getting Christmas cards out! I'm always too lazy to even bother.
@krystrist2014 I hope switching to vaginal temping helps your chart look more consistent.
@jtdamm2018 good luck!! I hope you get the job!!
@krystrist2014 Sounds like YH did good! I've actually never heard of a Ninja Foodi but am going to have to look it up now.
@ziggymama06 Grocery delivery/pickup has been life-changing for us and meal planning! To be fair, it's my last full week before the break -- I do have to go in M-Th next week, though DH is done-done after this week (lucky duck). I'm a corporate attorney.
@jtdamm2018 Great that you're feeling hopeful on several fronts. FYI, your chart doesn't appear for me - it just says invalid link.
