Happy Friday Ladies!
It's that time again. This is our bi-weekly check in, condensed version. Feel free to let us know how life is; you can b!tch, you can moan, you can brag, you can cry, whatever you want. I keep forgetting to read the post about adding PIPs and since I'm at work and can't really spend oodles of time on the bump, it's BYOB again. Right now I'm dreaming of a very large glass of wine and some cheese curds (nothing beats fried cheese!).
ETA: Wow. I'm just all sorts of SS this morning. I guess I was so excited to do the bi-weekly party that I posted it twice! Oops!

@mattsgirl2004 - big (((hugs))) and many T&Ps being sent your way that everything comes back clear on the LEEP and that your MIL has a smooth surgery and recovery. I'm glad you took this past month to reconnect with YH and that the both of you are in a really strong place moving into the next few weeks.
@HelloSweetie1 - (((hugs))) and I hope everything is well for you.
@jenek0213 - much love to you ((((hugs))))
@lindsayhilleary - (((hugs))) and I'm glad you are feeling better. I hope the testing gives you some answers and that you enjoy you trip to CA.
My update - not much going on. I'm 8dpo and not feeling overly optimistic about this cycle but also feeling like this is really my last chance. After doing the medicated cycle and discovering that my DH cannot handle the stress of knowing about a medicated cycle, this non-medicated cycle went much better as far as timing - even with my Oing 10 days later than normal.
I did one of those silly Cheri22 readings last month which told me I would either conceive, find out, or give birth in August. I know that it is completely silly but I will be really disappointed (and maybe why this is playing into the feeling that this is my last chance) if I end up with a BFP.
NTTCAL - DH was in Nashville for the week and I used that time to push through and finish painting the kitchen cabinets. We should be putting the hardware on this weekend and hanging the doors. I'm looking forward to having this project done. AND in two weeks we will be on the road for our drive. EEK! So much packing and minor little things to take care of.
Here's some wine and cheese for everyone:

@HelloSweetie1 - I think going close to the truth is the best. People typically do not want to talk about utes so blaming it on endo sounds like a good plan.

Apparently I posted in the dupe thread. Here's my C&P from there
Hey Sammer,
How are you doing? I've never had fried cheese, unless you count cheese sticks...but it sounds like something I'd love.
I'm doing alright. 7ish DPO (my temps are a clusterfuck this cycle, but I think OPKs were accurate). If this cycle is a bust, I have a hysteroscopy scheduled for Sept 5th. Not happy to be taking a cycle off before DH deploys, but I'm telling myself it is worth it to have the 'playing field' cleared and ready to go.
DH is in VA now and found us a place to move to. About a month from now I get on a plane and move out of CA! Excited about the change overall. We'll get some good visits with friends and family in, and will be settling into a new (rental) home in an area we know well. I'm moving into the place sight unseen, well, aside from pictures...but DH has done well with other places in the past. He'll be at sea for a chunk of time once we get to VA, so this week of being solo is like a test run.
Hope everyone is doing well

@MsAmandaPants The best part about doing a military move is that the only things we have to do for prep is to separate out what we don't want them to pack (easy since I'll be flying the coop prior to pack out) and then set aside any liquids and flammables since they won't pack those. We also need to note serial numbers and photograph condition of some stuff. They pack out everything, and quickly. Even better, any furniture they disassemble on this end, they reassemble on the other end (so our bed gets put together...awesome after an exhausting delivery day)...and there is a pretty good results with claims if we have issues. I was really nervous for my first military move, but now I'm all "meh, whatever...I can always sort out what I don't get to on that end"
Thank you all for your warm wishes. I have a pre-op appt on Weds. The timing of the hysteroscopy works out well with this cycle. I should have a conclusive answer about how this cycle turned out in time to call off the procedure if need be. Not that I'm counting on any of that...for sure know better by now...but it was fortuitous how the timing lined up.

Hello all! Looks like I'm a bit late to the party...
@sammer818- I'm so sorry that your surrogate backed out. I find that really cruel that she would go and get KU while in the process of being a potential surrogate for someone else.
@mattsgirl2004-I hope everything goes well with your MIL's surgery!
@MsAmandapants- GL getting through the TWW. I know it can be so hard!
@lindseyhilleary- Have a good time with your family! Hopefully it will distract you from the upcoming testing.
@buggirl72- I hope that this is your cycle and that Cheri22 thing was correct!
@wickedsugar- Hello and ((hugs))
@HelloSweetie1- I'm sorry about your cycle..mine has been crazy as well. Have fun on your trip!
@uneek1323- I am sorry you weren't able to get your testing done this cycle. FX that everything works out for next cycle. ((Hugs))
@Junebug060609- I hope you like your new house and your pre-opt appointment goes well.
I think I am missing someone, so if I missed you I apologize!
Update on me: CD 29 and no CHs yet....I just got a +OPK yesterday so we HIO and will do so today. It sucks because I woke up late today, so I jumped out of bed and didn't get to temp, which angered me since I still haven't O'd and would like to have the most accurate chart I can. I figure if I O today or tomorrow, I will be 14 or 15 DPO at my appt. So that could mean, CD 1 at my check-up. Not ideal.

Well crap. I replied to everyone & was about to hit post when TB ate my response. I'm sorry but I refuse to re-type all of that so just know that I've read everyone's updates & huge hugs to you all
I seriously did this when that happened:
Well anyway, I don't have any new updates. No job yet so everything is on hold until I get one. This sucks.

EK - are you on LinkedIn? My school's career development dept was really big on having a well done LinkedIn profile. The job search feature on there is pretty good and I've had a head hunter reach out to me through it.
