R/R/CS: AF left - see ya! Nothing much else happening ATM
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? He will not put his pj's away... He has compromised and tucks them under his pillow on the basis that he will wear them again the next night but this morning I found 3 sets of pj's and a pair of boxers under his pillow - the dirty begger
WAYDTGKU: The usual, temping, PNV, will start OPKs in a couple days, not sure how BD will play out depending on when I O because DH has his SA on Monday so has to abstain this weekend and I may O sometime between Tuesday-Thursday.
R/R/CS: Not TTC related, but today is my Friday! I'm going to DS's school tomorrow to read a book to his class, which will probably take all of 15 minutes, but I took the whole day off so I can do some Christmas shopping and wrapping while he's at school. Really looking forward to a three day weekend. Come on 4 o'clock!
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? When he does his laundry he never, ever puts the clothes away and just lives out of baskets. But I don't complain because at least he does his own laundry.

WAYDTGKU: I'll think about that when I stop cruising the crimson wave.
R/R/CS: I feel like I'm running in place with ttc, which I know is unfair because so many women have been trying so much longer than I have. But it seems as if I'm never going to be pg again and it's going by so slowly. I think I'm just going to hio eod through proliferative, FW, and LP so I don't accidentally miss a day. We'll see how well that works out.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on?
When he finishes showering, he ALWAYS throws his towel on the top of a door to dry and it drives me crazy. We have a towel rack for a reason. The doors are not for your 6'4 self to hang towels to where my 5'4 self can't reach them. Lol
R/R/CS: I'm not holding out hope for a very reliable chart this cycle, so HIO just in case.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? DH eats cereal in the morning and when he's eating it, he always, ALWAYS pats the cereal down into the milk with the back of his spoon before taking a bite for what seems like forever. Not just once or twice but (no joke) like 20 times, for each bite.
R/R/CS: Funny story! So last night DH and I were goofing
around and he all of the sudden says: “So what's the Kazoo thing on the
night stand?”I have no clue what he’s
talking about at first but then it dawns on me, it’s my BBT thermometer!Considering he called it a Kazoo, I laughingly
ask:“What do you think it is?”His response:“I know what it is.”Humoring him, I say: “Ok what it is?”DH says, totally proud of himself, “It’s a
pregnancy test!”I burst out
laugh-crying and then promptly told him what in actuality it was and what it
does.Finally, I asked: “If you were so
sure of your answer, why didn’t you just pick it up.”His response: “I thought it was a pregnancy
test and could only guess where it’s been, I’m not touching that!”Lol!!!First off: Why would I have a (used) pregnancy test on our night stand?!?Second off:After The reaction to the possible used PG test on the night stand, I
definitely know it’s going to take him some time to get used to the changing
diapers thing.Had to share this story
with you all – it was a great way to end an otherwise stressful night and a good
lead into some amazing hi-jinx. ;-)
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? His cleanliness. Seriously no matter how often he does it and I give him the stink eye he can't seem to catch on that his underwear goes in the hamper and not on the bedroom floor!
WAYDTGKU: Just taking PNVs at the moment. When I finally get AF I'll start temping again.
R/R/CS: I'm just dying to know what is going on with my body. My doctor put me on 10 day progesterone to try to kick start my cycles, and it didn't work. So, I have an appointment with an RE, but I have to wait until January for insurance reasons. This is killing me. =(
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? He ALWAYS leaves the plastic wrap on the counter after he makes his lunch. At first, it annoyed me. I tried to tell him to put it away. Then I just realized that its just a quirk and now I just smile to myself and put it away, realizing that I'm lucky his quirks aren't much worse.
@babymish lucky you having a 4-day af! I still have two more grueling days. and mine does the same thing. He has a designated spot on the floor for the clothes he intends to wear again and if I move them, he says I lost his clothes and won't look for them. Ugh!
@sldp123 yay! Happy Friday! I'm going to try and squeeze in some Christmas shopping today too.
@Tippy05 your gtky literally made me laugh, that would drive me nuts! It seems like an un-necessarily long method of eating breakfast! Lol
@LakeR2014 lol he thought he was so clever! He's going to have to warm up to the idea of someone else's urine sooner or later!
@NessMatthews mine refuses to clean out his lunchbox. He once forgot it in the car and let the leftover food spoil. I finally found it and cleaned it. After much nagging and my refusal to pack his lunch until he cleaned out his lunchbox, he's finally caught on.
WAYDTGKU: Acupuncture Temping PNV tracking CM OPKS and pre seed
R/R/CS: how do you know if your thermometer is broken? Mine is old and has been in use over 6 cycles so now I'm paranoid after I read about favoring temps etc? (Chart below)

I have to pick just one? We've been married 8 years lol.
I guess one thing is falling asleep with the tv blaring loud.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? I don't consider this a 'quirk', more like a habit...but he ALWAYS places empty pop cans/trash at the end of the kitchen counter instead of walking 5 extra feet to throw it away in the trashcan! I don't think he has any 'quirks' that are annoying...I'm the one with the annoying quirks lol.

R/R/CS: Still sick I think it's probably bronchitis or something similar. I'm just sick of feeling tired and not myself all the time! My doctor recommended mucinex, which at least is potentially good for TTC too. I have a few more days of recovery before we need to start BDing EOD and then ED. I don't want it to be a chore but it will if I still feel like this! Stupid winter is the WORST. Haven't started temping yet because I doubt it'll be accurate and because I'm sleeping inconsistently.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? Takes off his dirty socks and leaves them on the couch or living room floor. Put them in the hamper!

WAYDTGKU: All the stuffs!
R/R/CS: I think I had my first charted "false surge" (is that what it's called?) - I had EWCM all day on Tuesday and not a positive OPK but it was getting darker, and now I'm back to a stark white OPK and almost no CM. I mean, I guess I could have ovulated really early...but no temp rise, so I don't think so...so I guess we'll just keep on keepin' on!
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? WHISTLING. STOP IT.
WAYDTGKU: Hope O holds off until I get to DH but likely won't.
R/R/CS: Slight temp rise this morning. At least I didn't continue the downward trend. I was fully prepared to start checking for vitals signs. It's not like it's cold here! I still have my ac on for christ's sake.
I'm sure I've been saying it all over the place but it's just because I am excited but I am taking off for Sydney today . I am super excited about the trip but annoyed at the kink it is putting in my temp tracking and also that it is likely that the stress of it is pushing my O.
Chart attached
Oh well, vented a bit to DH about it (I usually try not to overhelem him but he is my husband so if there is anyone I can vent to it is him). After I was done venting I bitched about how I think my phone charging case is on the fritz, just to add to everything. His response made me smile ... He said "well that's obviously why it didnt happen this month, we'll get you a new case for the next month". It was just stupid enough to make me smile and also let me know that he wasn't just tuning me out.
Anyways, off to oz!! I'll be hit or miss for a week
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on?
Is it bad that I can't decide?
I guess one of them is that when he puts away dishes and isn't sure where something goes he sets it in the counter in the corner behind the dish rack. Eventually the counter is super cluttered and I am just like "is there a reason all this shit is out??". If you don't know where it goes just ask me! And the fact that you don't know where it goes is bull... Just open the cabinets and put it with something that looks similar. Our kitchen is not so organized that I would even notice it was in the wrong spot. I tend to open drawers and cabinets aimlessly when I cook anyways.
R/R/CS: It's almost Friday!! This week has gone by soooooo slowwwwwww. I can't wait for the weekend!
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? My DH will literally come home, take his clothes off, and throw them on the floor in a pile RIGHT NEXT TO THE DIRTY CLOTHES BIN!! I still love him, but come on! The extra step of placing your clothes in the bin is not difficult!

@AndiPandi127 - Just realized you and are on the same track! Start of TTC (started Sept 2015 too) and cycle times although you're one day ahead of me on 4th cycle. Just thought that was neat/interesting. Keep on Keepin' on!

Last chance on Clomid then it's on to injects. Trying to keep busy after work with baking and binging on Showtime. It helps.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? DH can't seem to catch on that it drives me nuts when he "does the laundry" and then leaves the clean stuff in the living room for me to fold, but what bugs me even more is that he always leaves the dryer sheet on the floor or coffee table, just throw it away!!!
R/R/CS: I read a quote last night on a friend's FB page that said "No expectations= less disappointments" I think I'm going to adopt this motto. I honestly just don't even feel like TTC anymore. My DH has been working extended hours and its starting to show. He's got no energy for just about anything when he comes home and he's usually frustrated as well. That makes for a great combination for TTC. Also, he thinks he may be getting a cold.....If your men are anything like my man, a cold is by far the worst thing to ever happen to them and will shut them down for ALL things for days. Its like he's dying. So add that on top of my yeast infection, I just feel like we are looking month 9 right in the face at this point. I don't care. I don't want to try anymore. I don't want to be disappointed anymore. And I don't even take HPTs, I wait for AF to show.....I'm in a super funk for sure. I heavily debated not coming in to work today but that wouldn't have solved anything.....if i could afford it i would take tomorrow off but I don't have any PTO to use and I'm not really sure what I would do with myself anyways if I were off all day......
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? He is the loudest eater ever.....part of it is because he had jaw surgery when he was 16.....but its so loud and annoying sometimes......
@sldp123- While I’m all for getting SA done and for doing it
sooner than later, can you reschedule SA for later on? Like maybe when you are
expecting AF? That’s when we had my DH
do his so that it wasn’t like he was missing out on anything anyways. We don’t have sex during AF so while he could still take care of his
business if he needed/wanted too but it didn’t affect the FW too much either. Just a thought. Enjoy your day off tomorrow!!
@Kjcalloway- I’m right there with you!! So there today.
@Tippy05- we are in the same boat girl……TTC sucks big hairy
monkey balls. I have an annoying eater
too.
@NessMatthews- I’m so sorry!!! This makes me feel like my complaints are so
petty….FX the next few weeks fly by for you.
I hope your apt with the RE is the first day in January!!
@iceandsnowflakes29- I think the most common BBT’s known for
“favoring” temps are the target brand ones.
I’m not sure the Mabis really do that so much. I am going to order a new Mabis today, I was
debating on doing that but in the grand scheme of things, It was $6 and I’ve
been using it for the last 5 months straight.
I’m sure they can all “defect” at some point though.
R/R/CS: Had a very small amount of EWCM yesterday, so it looks like I'm gearing up to O
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on?
On days that I leave for work before he wakes up, he never makes the bed when he gets up even though I have asked him to about a million times. When he lived with his parents (which was his whole life until we got married) his mom always made his bed for him, so I blame her
ETA: @AndiPandi27 Your body was probably just gearing up to O and then something happened and it put ovulation on hold. So just keep HIO and hopefully you O soon
@furbabymom2007 Have so much fun and travel safe! FX O holds off until you're with your H! Also, my DH does the same thing with the clean dishes except now, he has started putting things in the completely wrong place so when I go to use it, I can't find anywhere. He's even worse with packing the dishwasher. He rinses nothing and puts them in a completely non sensical way so nothing is clean and I have to do them over anyway. Part of me thinks he does it on purpose so I'll stop asking him to do them. lol!
@beary67 (and everyone else who's DHs can't find the hamper) My H drapes his dirty clothes on the side of the hamper because he thinks they aren't dirty and he will wear them again except they are dirty and he isn't going to wear them again so I end up with a hamper that is falling over from the weight of a weeks worth of clothes draped over the side. PUT THEM IN!

R/R/CS: FF gave me dotted crosshairs today but I know they're not accurate. There was hardly a temp rise and an open circle because I tested just outside my testing time window. Also no CM, -OPK, etc. but still-- FF has me all, "but what if I just couldn't turn an OPK test, and what IF it's a low test rise, and what IF I just had no CM this cycle?!?" FF stop playing with my emotions!! I've learned if I have to say "what if" more than once, it's never "what if".
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? He's always cleaning or putting stuff away (that part is not annoying) but I'll be drinking something and put it on the counter before I'm done and I look back and he has washed it and it's in the dishwasher. This probably happens daily!

R/R/CS: got a big temp spike this morning. Happy dance. Just need to get a couple more high temps and I should get CHs for yesterday. Gonna stick around here until then so I can hold off on BSC mode (aka TWW). I am actually excited to be out of FW because DH and I are all humped out.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems catch on? Other than being typically laundry impaired, he coughs and hacks SO FREAKING LOUD when he has a man cold. In the mornings he will clear out his sinuses and cough at a volume that is just unheard of. I feel like it makes the whole house shake, and he is completely unaware of it. He has woken DD up numerous times while getting ready for work. Sound carries everywhere in our house and he will stomp around like an elephant and talk up the stairs at full volume while she's asleep too. It makes me so irrationally furious.
R/R/CS: I'm in a bad mood today and I'm not sure why. It's making me angry even thinking about ttc. I know I've only been at this a couple month, but it's just one of those days where you feel like the universe is against you during this journey.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? He puts all his empty cans and beer bottles in the sink instead of the trash!! Ugh.

@MNturnsVA Sorry you are in a funk, I think we all get there at some point during this process, especially when everything seems to be working against us at once. Will your DH eventually get back to more normal hours, is this just a busy season? Hopefully your infection clears up and he is feeling less stressed with work soon!
As far as the SA, DH was originally going to have it done after Christmas when he has a week off work, and I wasn't happy about that either because I wanted the results yesterday, like everything else. But then it turned out he had to take a half day off on Monday anyway for something else, so he went ahead and scheduled it. I was glad he took the initiative because I know he is not looking forward to doing it in the first place, so I didn't want to complain even once I realized the timing was not going to be great. They strongly suggested he do it in the office because he has to do a urinalysis right after because of the possible retrograde ejaculation that they are checking for. Plus we live almost an hour from the office, so it just makes more sense, although I don't blame him for not being excited about it.

GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? He never washes the windows when he puts gas in my car. With the amount of rain we get in the fal/winter the windows get really dirty and need to be washed at least every other week
Edited cause I don't know what day it is...
Part of me thinks he does it on purpose so I'll stop asking him to do them. loL
I have actually had discussions about this with a lot of the guys I work with (I am the only female engineer on my team) and this is 100% accurate. My poor DH is so screwed because I have learned all the men's tricks!
R/R/CS: okay. I am not temping, but me and DH have LITERALLY been going at it since CD 6 (and plan to continue til cd 22). Not multiple times a day obviously, but ED. We will see where this puts us at the end of our first month. I guess I'll just migrate to TWW after CD 22? AF is due dec 31 according to my app (which I keep pretty up to date so it should be accurate with a day of wiggle room). So without temping, does that make sense for TWW migration? The biggest thing I've seen that pisses bumpies off (I lurked like a good newbie) is when someone who doesn't temp says "I o'd on CD..." Lol.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on?
I make all my grievances with DH extremely well known. LOL. His obsession with Marie kondo is the one that drives me batty, he tries to throw everything away and regrets it later!

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, PNV, Banging it oooouuuutttttt (yayuhhHhh)
R/R/CS: I remembered last night that I have the second sitting for my half sleeve tattoo in mid-January. With the timing, it would be right around the FW for cycle 4. So, if we get pregnant this cycle, I'll be pretty excited and will move my tattoo out about a year. If we don't get pregnant, I'll also be pretty excited that I get to do more work on my piece. I have a bunch of tattoos and they make me feel so good and so sexy. So I'm framing it as a type of period present if cycle 3 doesn't work, because getting more work on my sleeve makes me so giddy. And so does the idea of being pregnant. Because of my tattoo I feel completely okay if this cycle isn't the one for us.
I was scared of typing that last sentence because I was worried I would send that thought into the universe and the universe would make a point of not allowing me to get pregnant this cycle. But that's ridiculous. It's okay for me to be realistic and honest about this experience. And if I've learned anything from my marriage and my career it's that everything happens when it's supposed to happen. It's so stupid and so cliche but so many things in my life didn't come when I wanted them to, they came when I needed them to, and I have to believe the same will happen for Baby TimeLord. I don't know where in the universe you are right now Baby, but when you're ready to get here, it will be amazing.
GTKY: This is a hard one. I'm pretty open about stuff that annoys me and he's open about ignoring me. Although I've been trying to make progress on the nighttime peeing on the seat situation. I told him if he can't open his eyes when he's peeing at night then he should pee sitting down so I don't have to sit in his pee at 3AM.
After reading all the laundry-related complaints, I have to make sure I thank my husband for his laundry efforts today. I typically do anyway, but he needs some extra love today. If he didn't live with me, I have no idea when my laundry would get done. He does the laundry every other day, washes the delicates the right way (I have a special hamper for them), folds all the laundry, and puts away the laundry of mine that he can. He matches my socks, puts all my underwear away, etc. My closet has a specific (see:obsessive) organization set up so he doesn't put away anything that gets hung but he'll fold them for me to put away when I'm ready. I hate doing laundry and he's happily over here just washing and drying and folding and hanging.
WAYDTGKU: Nothing yet.... I think AF is finally gone... but DH is out of town until Friday night, so I'm just waiting for things to start now.
R/R/CS: Still hoping O day sticks to its usual CD 18 or 19 so we can have a full shot at FW this month.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? He sings a LOT. He claims he doesn't sing when I'm not home, and only talks to the dogs - that the singing is just for my benefit. But I don't believe him - I think he must sing ALL the time. Oh, and he's not a good singer. He sings nonsense words usually to the tune of a "real" song because he doesn't know the lyrics to anything! Lol, he's a goofball. His mom said he's always been like this - he always had a theme song and special sound effects when he'd play with his toys when he was little lol.

WAYDTGKU: I'll think about that when I stop cruising the crimson wave.
R/R/CS: I feel like I'm running in place with ttc, which I know is unfair because so many women have been trying so much longer than I have. But it seems as if I'm never going to be pg again and it's going by so slowly. I think I'm just going to hio eod through proliferative, FW, and LP so I don't accidentally miss a day. We'll see how well that works out.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on?
When he finishes showering, he ALWAYS throws his towel on the top of a door to dry and it drives me crazy. We have a towel rack for a reason. The doors are not for your 6'4 self to hang towels to where my 5'4 self can't reach them. Lol

WAYDTGKU: sex EUO, temping, charting CP/CM
R/R/CS: I'm not holding out hope for a very reliable chart this cycle, so HIO just in case.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? DH eats cereal in the morning and when he's eating it, he always, ALWAYS pats the cereal down into the milk with the back of his spoon before taking a bite for what seems like forever. Not just once or twice but (no joke) like 20 times, for each bite.

WAYDTGKU: temp, cm, bd, ff
R/R/CS: Funny story! So last night DH and I were goofing around and he all of the sudden says: “So what's the Kazoo thing on the night stand?” I have no clue what he’s talking about at first but then it dawns on me, it’s my BBT thermometer! Considering he called it a Kazoo, I laughingly ask: “What do you think it is?” His response: “I know what it is.” Humoring him, I say: “Ok what it is?” DH says, totally proud of himself, “It’s a pregnancy test!” I burst out laugh-crying and then promptly told him what in actuality it was and what it does. Finally, I asked: “If you were so sure of your answer, why didn’t you just pick it up.” His response: “I thought it was a pregnancy test and could only guess where it’s been, I’m not touching that!” Lol!!! First off: Why would I have a (used) pregnancy test on our night stand?!? Second off: After The reaction to the possible used PG test on the night stand, I definitely know it’s going to take him some time to get used to the changing diapers thing. Had to share this story with you all – it was a great way to end an otherwise stressful night and a good lead into some amazing hi-jinx. ;-)
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? His cleanliness. Seriously no matter how often he does it and I give him the stink eye he can't seem to catch on that his underwear goes in the hamper and not on the bedroom floor!
CD: 93 days since IUD removal. Still no AF.
WAYDTGKU: Just taking PNVs at the moment. When I finally get AF I'll start temping again.
R/R/CS: I'm just dying to know what is going on with my body. My doctor put me on 10 day progesterone to try to kick start my cycles, and it didn't work. So, I have an appointment with an RE, but I have to wait until January for insurance reasons. This is killing me. =(
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? He ALWAYS leaves the plastic wrap on the counter after he makes his lunch. At first, it annoyed me. I tried to tell him to put it away. Then I just realized that its just a quirk and now I just smile to myself and put it away, realizing that I'm lucky his quirks aren't much worse.
@sldp123 yay! Happy Friday! I'm going to try and squeeze in some Christmas shopping today too.
@Tippy05 your gtky literally made me laugh, that would drive me nuts! It seems like an un-necessarily long method of eating breakfast! Lol
@LakeR2014 lol he thought he was so clever! He's going to have to warm up to the idea of someone else's urine sooner or later!
@NessMatthews mine refuses to clean out his lunchbox. He once forgot it in the car and let the leftover food spoil. I finally found it and cleaned it. After much nagging and my refusal to pack his lunch until he cleaned out his lunchbox, he's finally caught on.

WAYDTGKU: Acupuncture Temping PNV tracking CM OPKS and pre seed
R/R/CS: how do you know if your thermometer is broken? Mine is old and has been in use over 6 cycles so now I'm paranoid after I read about favoring temps etc? (Chart below)

GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? I don't consider this a 'quirk', more like a habit...but he ALWAYS places empty pop cans/trash at the end of the kitchen counter instead of walking 5 extra feet to throw it away in the trashcan! I don't think he has any 'quirks' that are annoying...I'm the one with the annoying quirks lol.

WAYDTGKU: All the stuffs!
R/R/CS: I think I had my first charted "false surge" (is that what it's called?) - I had EWCM all day on Tuesday and not a positive OPK but it was getting darker, and now I'm back to a stark white OPK and almost no CM. I mean, I guess I could have ovulated really early...but no temp rise, so I don't think so...so I guess we'll just keep on keepin' on!
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? WHISTLING. STOP IT.

WAYDTGKU: Hope O holds off until I get to DH but likely won't.
R/R/CS:
Slight temp rise this morning. At least I didn't continue the downward trend. I was fully prepared to start checking for vitals signs. It's not like it's cold here! I still have my ac on for christ's sake.
I'm sure I've been saying it all over the place but it's just because I am excited but I am taking off for Sydney today
Chart attached
Oh well, vented a bit to DH about it (I usually try not to overhelem him but he is my husband so if there is anyone I can vent to it is him). After I was done venting I bitched about how I think my phone charging case is on the fritz, just to add to everything. His response made me smile ... He said "well that's obviously why it didnt happen this month, we'll get you a new case for the next month". It was just stupid enough to make me smile and also let me know that he wasn't just tuning me out.
Anyways, off to oz!! I'll be hit or miss for a week
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on?
Is it bad that I can't decide?
I guess one of them is that when he puts away dishes and isn't sure where something goes he sets it in the counter in the corner behind the dish rack. Eventually the counter is super cluttered and I am just like "is there a reason all this shit is out??". If you don't know where it goes just ask me! And the fact that you don't know where it goes is bull... Just open the cabinets and put it with something that looks similar. Our kitchen is not so organized that I would even notice it was in the wrong spot. I tend to open drawers and cabinets aimlessly when I cook anyways.

GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? My DH will literally come home, take his clothes off, and throw them on the floor in a pile RIGHT NEXT TO THE DIRTY CLOTHES BIN!! I still love him, but come on! The extra step of placing your clothes in the bin is not difficult!

WAYDTGKU: Clomid, Dexamethasone, Ovidrel, Preseed
R/R/CS: On TB way too much, driving myself crazy (ok crazier thank you Clomid) wondering if this will finally be our cycle. Last chance on Clomid then it's on to injects. Trying to keep busy after work with baking and binging on Showtime. It helps.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? DH can't seem to catch on that it drives me nuts when he "does the laundry" and then leaves the clean stuff in the living room for me to fold, but what bugs me even more is that he always leaves the dryer sheet on the floor or coffee table, just throw it away!!!
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: PNV, maybe starting OPK tomorrow.....
R/R/CS: I read a quote last night on a friend's FB page that said "No expectations= less disappointments" I think I'm going to adopt this motto. I honestly just don't even feel like TTC anymore. My DH has been working extended hours and its starting to show. He's got no energy for just about anything when he comes home and he's usually frustrated as well. That makes for a great combination for TTC. Also, he thinks he may be getting a cold.....If your men are anything like my man, a cold is by far the worst thing to ever happen to them and will shut them down for ALL things for days. Its like he's dying. So add that on top of my yeast infection, I just feel like we are looking month 9 right in the face at this point. I don't care. I don't want to try anymore. I don't want to be disappointed anymore. And I don't even take HPTs, I wait for AF to show.....I'm in a super funk for sure. I heavily debated not coming in to work today but that wouldn't have solved anything.....if i could afford it i would take tomorrow off but I don't have any PTO to use and I'm not really sure what I would do with myself anyways if I were off all day......
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? He is the loudest eater ever.....part of it is because he had jaw surgery when he was 16.....but its so loud and annoying sometimes......
@sldp123- While I’m all for getting SA done and for doing it sooner than later, can you reschedule SA for later on? Like maybe when you are expecting AF? That’s when we had my DH do his so that it wasn’t like he was missing out on anything anyways. We don’t have sex during AF so while he could still take care of his business if he needed/wanted too but it didn’t affect the FW too much either. Just a thought. Enjoy your day off tomorrow!!
@Kjcalloway- I’m right there with you!! So there today.
@Tippy05- we are in the same boat girl……TTC sucks big hairy monkey balls. I have an annoying eater too.
@NessMatthews- I’m so sorry!!! This makes me feel like my complaints are so petty….FX the next few weeks fly by for you. I hope your apt with the RE is the first day in January!!
@iceandsnowflakes29- I think the most common BBT’s known for “favoring” temps are the target brand ones. I’m not sure the Mabis really do that so much. I am going to order a new Mabis today, I was debating on doing that but in the grand scheme of things, It was $6 and I’ve been using it for the last 5 months straight. I’m sure they can all “defect” at some point though.

He thinks he is doing something helpful by unloading the dishwasher, except half of the stuff doesn't get put away. He will leave things on the counter for me to put away because he "doesn't remember where they go."

WAYDTGKU: temping, OPK, cm, BD EOD
R/R/CS: FF gave me dotted crosshairs today but I know they're not accurate. There was hardly a temp rise and an open circle because I tested just outside my testing time window. Also no CM, -OPK, etc. but still-- FF has me all, "but what if I just couldn't turn an OPK test, and what IF it's a low test rise, and what IF I just had no CM this cycle?!?" FF stop playing with my emotions!! I've learned if I have to say "what if" more than once, it's never "what if".
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on?
He's always cleaning or putting stuff away (that part is not annoying) but I'll be drinking something and put it on the counter before I'm done and I look back and he has washed it and it's in the dishwasher. This probably happens daily!

WAYDTGKU: You know, stuff.

WAYDTGKU: BBT
R/R/CS: got a big temp spike this morning. Happy dance. Just need to get a couple more high temps and I should get CHs for yesterday. Gonna stick around here until then so I can hold off on BSC mode (aka TWW). I am actually excited to be out of FW because DH and I are all humped out.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems catch on? Other than being typically laundry impaired, he coughs and hacks SO FREAKING LOUD when he has a man cold. In the mornings he will clear out his sinuses and cough at a volume that is just unheard of. I feel like it makes the whole house shake, and he is completely unaware of it. He has woken DD up numerous times while getting ready for work. Sound carries everywhere in our house and he will stomp around like an elephant and talk up the stairs at full volume while she's asleep too. It makes me so irrationally furious.
CD: 23
WAYDTGKU: Being frustrated
R/R/CS: I'm in a bad mood today and I'm not sure why. It's making me angry even thinking about ttc. I know I've only been at this a couple month, but it's just one of those days where you feel like the universe is against you during this journey.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? He puts all his empty cans and beer bottles in the sink instead of the trash!! Ugh.

WORF: I did not come here to admire the scenery.
DAX: If you say so. I guess we should just go home.
WORF: Well maybe. I would not be so hasty.
DAX: I take it the scenery has improved?
WORF: A few months ago, when I was commanding the Defiant on a scouting mission in the Gamma Quadrant, we encountered a protostar cluster, a swirling mass of colour set against a background of glowing clouds and burning sky. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, until now.
DAX: I've got to take you on vacation more often.
Qbf
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 14
R/R/CS: okay. I am not temping, but me and DH have LITERALLY been going at it since CD 6 (and plan to continue til cd 22). Not multiple times a day obviously, but ED. We will see where this puts us at the end of our first month. I guess I'll just migrate to TWW after CD 22? AF is due dec 31 according to my app (which I keep pretty up to date so it should be accurate with a day of wiggle room). So without temping, does that make sense for TWW migration? The biggest thing I've seen that pisses bumpies off (I lurked like a good newbie) is when someone who doesn't temp says "I o'd on CD..." Lol.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on?
I make all my grievances with DH extremely well known. LOL. His obsession with Marie kondo is the one that drives me batty, he tries to throw everything away and regrets it later!
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: Nothing yet.... I think AF is finally gone... but DH is out of town until Friday night, so I'm just waiting for things to start now.
R/R/CS: Still hoping O day sticks to its usual CD 18 or 19 so we can have a full shot at FW this month.
GTKY: what's a quirk your SO always does that annoys you but he/she never seems to catch on? He sings a LOT. He claims he doesn't sing when I'm not home, and only talks to the dogs - that the singing is just for my benefit. But I don't believe him - I think he must sing ALL the time. Oh, and he's not a good singer. He sings nonsense words usually to the tune of a "real" song because he doesn't know the lyrics to anything! Lol, he's a goofball. His mom said he's always been like this - he always had a theme song and special sound effects when he'd play with his toys when he was little lol.
