Testing Plans: today..... Just took a dollar store cheapie test after getting back home from out of town and I think I see a second line..... Now I'm freaking out and need someone else to look tell me if they see it to!

GTKY: Let's be inspiring this Monday morning!! What's you're favourite inspirational quote/message?
"People will forget what you said, People will forget what you did, But People will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou.
I've also had a sign in my office for years and years and that says "Think Good Thoughts." Some days it becomes my mantra just to get through the day!!
Testing Plans: 10dpo if no AF before. Last LP was 9 days... Yuck.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I just wish I had a crystal ball. I'm trying to make trip plans that affect my whole family for late next spring. A large group trip to Europe, but my parents will only go if all siblings are going. They don't want to leave anybody out and have these memories without someone. Would be a great trip if it works out!! But I'd much rather be KU. It's just so hard to plan anything for the future! There are certainly worse problems than this to have, but it's just my little rant for the day.

@oandmplus1, FX for you. I've had a sinking feeling about my temps all day, and just noticed that my temps are following the exact same pattern they did last cycle. I know it could just be a coincidence, but what a hell of a coincidence. Hopefully we'll both get to stick around for at least a few more days!!
@AgGal2010 -- FX for you as well!! Can't wait to see an update!
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: My Chart My first cycle my LP was 9, last month it was 7. Both times I had spotting 2 days before AF. This cycle my CM stayed sticky until today with no spotting, no cramps yet, but I had a huge temp drop this morning, so I am afraid AF is on her way after a very short LP again. My question - I didn't sleep well, I was up from 1-2 with DD and then had DD come into bed with me at 3 and she kept tossing and turning, I temped at 3:45 (15 before usual time), because I needed to get up with her, but obviously I didn't get a good period of sleep before temping. Wouldn't that usually make your temp higher though, not lower? I'm clinging on to hope that todays temp was a fluke. I just want to make it past a 7 day LP.
My temps go down when I'm severely sleep deprived. Hope that's what caused your temp to drop.
@AgGal2010 Fx for you!! How exciting!!!

This might be me but I would go ahead and book the trip since you just don't know. (But if you figure out how to find a crystal ball, please let me know!)

@mrstmoose Yes, we are definitely planning everything as if we are going. Going to book it with trip cancellation insurance just incase. I'll be happy either way, I just hate that it could affect other people's plans! I would really want them all to go ahead without us if we can't. Still working on the crystal ball... I'll let you know!

Quick question that I didn't want to start a new thread for but if anyone has insight please let me know!
Anyone know how I can make it so that I get notifications on the app? It never updates me when someone has commented back to me and then I miss the responses and don't see them until later when I'm on a computer It's irritating! And I have it set in my settings to have the notifications on... so if you know how to fix this just let me know! Thanks in advance!

RANT/ I am frustrated with temping and I just started. Oral is not good as I think I sleep open mouth too often and vaginal, (I just can seem to want to every day). Lots of BD this month was good, but only because I had time to work from home. Otherwise it is hard for SO and I to get on the same page. I do not want to pressure as I head bad stories of guys getting stressed also and having ED issues.
Testing Plans: Trying as hard as I can to hold out until 12 DPO which would be Saturday. I like the idea of Saturday because if it's positive, DH and I will have the whole day together whereas Monday-Friday, I'd have to go to work and try to have a normal day!
