  • Month/Cycle: 4/4

    CD/DPO: 22/2

    Timing: -4, -2, O

    Typical LP length: 9-11 days

    Testing: 10/1

    R/R: Well, our last minute staff meeting ended up being a scold fest of all the things we aren’t doing well enough at with digital learning. FANTASTIC. And, the verdict is in, we go full virtual on Monday. It’s only for a week (for now) as we reevaluate every Wednesday. Wish me luck.

    CS/Q: HUGE temp spike today! ❤️

  • @chindimples04 That sucks about your meeting. I get so annoyed when administrators are scolding the people actually doing the work for not completely adjusting to every new thing immediately during a pandemic. Ugh. You may guess that we have similar struggles in healthcare. I hope your week gets better! 

    Month/Cycle: 9/2 AL

    CD/DPO: 27/10

    Timing: TTA

    Typical LP length: 13 based on the one time I actually could measure an LP, but I had some cramping yesterday so who knows. Might have O date wrong due to thermometer shenanigans. 

    Testing: nothing HPT related, just WFAF so we can actually get this thing on the move

    R/R: I’m going to hobby lobby today! I love craft supplies to an unreasonable degree, so any chance to go to a craft store makes me happy. I always feel conflicted about hobby lobby specifically because their views on birth control are abhorrent to me, but they have a far better selection than anything else near me. In the past I have made donations to planned parenthood when I spend too much at hobby lobby, and I think I may need to do this again today haha

    CS/Q: I’m still annoyed that my thermometer was malfunctioning right around the time of O, but my new one arrived yesterday so I am all set for next month!

    Typical LP length: 10-11 days 

    Testing: Nope

    R/R: Well ladies, today is LEEP surgery day. Im getting anxious and nervous 😬 It's in the afternoon and I just want it over with asap! I hope all goes well with it. Im off work untill mid next week. Hoping to relax and heal all week/weekend long. Here goes nothing!! 😟

    CS/Q: Nothing. 

    @fitzfizz Yay for the new thermometer. Im hoping this one works great. Woo hoo! Craft stores. I LOVE craft stores. I could spend forever in them lol im like a kid in a candy store in there 😆 

    @chindimples04 Good luck on going full virtual on Monday. Hope it all works out. Sorry your staff meeting was a scold fest on what you guys arnt doing right.

  • @mindyb2019 Good luck on your surgery today!! I'm sure everything will go well. Sending positive vibes your way!
    @fitzfizz Lol I feel the exact same way and always feel guilty shopping at Hobby Lobby, but they have such cute stuff! I'd never thought about donating to PP as a way to offset a shopping spree there :D might have to do that next time!

    @chindimples04 ugh I'm sorry your staff meeting didn't go well. Good luck with virtual learning for the next week!

    Month/Cycle: 4/4

    CD/DPO: 24/5

    Timing: -4,-2,-1

    Typical LP length: 13

    Testing: Not unless AF is late

    R/R: DH went and got me a pumpkin spice latte today, but he forgot to ask for a non-dairy milk in it and I'm lactose free :# I started feeling bad about half way through it and asked him about it and he said he totally forgot. Feeling pretty crappy right now but not letting it ruin my day because today is my Friday! I'm so excited to have tomorrow and Monday off and have a little "staycation". We have lots of fun things planned - going to an outdoor museum, brunch, cider mill, shopping, etc. I will probably just be lurking and not posting as much in the next few days.

    CS/Q: None

  • @mindyb2019 Good luck with the procedure today! I hope it all goes well and the healing is quick! 

    @lauren0620 Your fall themed staycation sounds amazing! I will be quietly jealous of you from work haha
  • *Lurking from WTO*

    @fitzfizz I don't shop at Hobby Lobby (for the reasons you mentioned but also because I just don't craft much) but on the rare occasion that I get Chick-Fil-A I will make a donation to Human Rights Campaign of exactly the amount I spent. 

    @mindyb2019 good luck today. We'll be thinking of you!

  • @krash_ I spent $112 dollars, so I guess PP is getting a good donation today...
  • Month/Cycle: 4/4

    CD/DPO: 18/4

    Timing: -3, -1

    Typical LP length: 14d

    Testing: I figured I’d wait until next Tuesday 

    R/R: I love hobby lobby, even though I’m not crafty  I have dreams of being crafty though! I like the home decor at HL and Big Lots though.

    I’ve been a total grump at work lately, but today was better. I felt like a coworker steam-rolled me so I’ve been stewing on it, even after talking to her via email and in person  I was busy enough today with work and school that it’s gotten a bit out of my head though  

    CS/Q: just hanging out and lurking in all the threads. Even though I’m a nurse, everyone is such a treasure trove of info!
