Thanks, @oandmplus1! I also thought of you this morning-- I woke up like 30 minutes earlier I was so anxious to temp. I'm trying to stay positive that we'll both see longer LPs (or BFPs!!) this month.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I'm feeling pretty down about my temp drops the last few days, I know it's still early so it can go back up.
GTKY: what is your living situation- house, condo, apt etc and do you plan on staying there long-term? We've been in our house for about 4 years. We go back and forth between staying here long term or moving to a bigger house later. We'll probably be here for another 5 years at least. We do love our house, but we hope to do some updates to it eventually.
Testing Plans: I took a test yesterday and look at it past the time limit (yes, I am a dumb ass). It was a colored line. I freaked..took about billion more tests. They had something... maybe.... even my 'the glass is not enenough half full, we will die of dehydration' DH saw something. Maybe. Tested again this am BFN. I could not even pretend I saw something.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: and then my temp dropped some this am. Not a huge dip, just enough to be sad.
GTKY: what is your living situation- house, condo, apt etc and do you plan on staying there long-term?
House. It is a started home. We have been here almost 6 years and plan on being here for another 2. Then we will build.
Testing Plans: I just got my digital BFP today. I am in complete shock and disbelief. Patiently waiting for hubby to get home so I can tell him. Wish I would have planned how I was going to!
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Just complete shock and excitement over here!
Just wanted to say thank you to all of you ladies for the continued support and advice. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each of you and I wish you all the absolute best on your journey!

GTKY question.... This may be better for a baby board but I know there are a few moms in here. We are in a 2 bed apt (~1000 sq ft) and the second bedroom is only 10x10. Do you think this is big enough for at least the first year? The area is sooo expensive and we want two save 2-3 years before buying.

I am not a mom yet, but we are also in a 2/2 and we only have 1100 sq ft and plan on making it work if we get get KU before our lease is up next November. I think you can make anything work if you want it to. You will just have to be creative.

We lived in a 900 sq. ft. 2bd/1ba house for the first year and it was totally fine. They have mini cribs and a dresser can double as a changing table. You don't need a ton of space to raise a baby!

@jhems776 We lived in a 2 bedroom apartment about that size when we had our second baby. He slept in our room the first 6 months anyway and DD had the other room. A 10 x 10 is plenty big for a baby, they really don't need much, most of the stuff people buy is convenience. As long as they have a safe place to sleep, clothes, diapers and a way to get nutrition, they are set.
@AgGal2010 Congratulations!!! Your BFP made my day! H&H9M!
@jhems776 10x10 is plenty big for the first year and beyond. DS is 9mo and his room is 9x11. It's more than enough space and will be his room until we move which may be 5-6 years. He spends most of his time in the living room with us anyway. Good luck!
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: Husband leaves today for 14 days to help with recent mudslides in a town 6 hours away. I was all excited to take the tests together this weekend but surprise not gonna happen. bummer
GTKY: what is your living situation- house, condo, apt etc and do you plan on staying there long-term? We have a great house and we plan on staying here forever.
Testing Plans: Still planning to wait until AF is late
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: ** Trigger baby mentioned** My ds has not been sleeping much (teething I think), so I'm exhausted!! I'm one of those really bad moms that can't get my 1 year old out of my bed because I can't get myself to let him cry it out. And now I feel anxious because I don't know how that's ever going to happen!! And I'm pretty sure all of my mom friends are starting to judge me!! And it's a rainy day, so I just want to go home and go to bed (by myself)!!
GTKY: what is your living situation- house, condo, apt etc and do you plan on staying there long-term?
We live in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house. I love our house but the schools aren't great, so we'll probably move in about 4 or 5 years.
edit: Not sure why I'm in a quote box. This is how my day is going ....
CD/DPO: 27/13 (dpo guestimation from charting no temps/opk)
Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, +1
Testing Plans: BFN's since 9 dpo
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: So I found old period date data in a calendar I had and placed it into my kindara app, and so my guestimated (no temp or opk this month) dpo and AF days have changed, ergo all the numbers up there have changed.
I was cramping all night last night and woke up several times to check to see if I was spotting and I wasn't which is bizarre bc I don't usually get menstrual cramps until I see start bleeding. Who knows what's going on at this point with my body. This most likely is just changes in my PMS symptoms. I just want to either get my BFP or get AF and move on with this cycle. My new AF date is tomorrow now, so we'll see. If AF arrives I'm going to start charting appropriately from what I've learned on here, opk, temp, cm etc so I have a better idea of what is going on with my body.
GTKY: what is your living situation- house, condo, apt etc and do you plan on staying there long-term? Apt looking to buy forever home in the near future.
Testing Plans: Tested super early this morning - BFN. No idea if I even ovulated this month.
Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: So I was taking this tea last month, off and on.... Supposed to improve chances of conception or something. Lots of herbs. Works great for most people. However I think I majorly messed up my cycle. You're also supposed to take it from CD1-ovulation day. I didn't realize that. So now I wait. I'm at day 40 and no clue if/when AF will show. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
GTKY: what is your living situation- house, condo, apt etc and do you plan on staying there long-term? Ugh one bedroom apartment. Absolutely NOT staying here. Moving hopefully somewhere bigger/nicer soon as our lease is up.
R/R/CS: I have a lot to do this week so I'm hoping it will help keep me distracted during this TWW!
GTKY: MH and I bought our house four years ago (I can't believe it's been that long!). It's a rehabbed bungalow; it's nice and pretty spacious but I don't know that it will be our forever home. Chicago public schools are frustrating, to say the least. We'll have to re-evaluate down the line, but definitely will stay here for the next several years.

Rant/Rave/Chart Stalk: I just am over it!! This is either teaching me patience, or just teaching me that I will never have any!
GTKY: what is your living situation- house, condo, apt etc and do you plan on staying there long-term?
we own our home! it has 3/2.5 baths so we can definitely stay for a while, but it's not our forever home. it's lacking in storage space and I think we could only have 1 child there before needing to do some work or buying something a little bigger!
