WAYDTGKU: all the things
R/R/CS: FW started last night!! I'm ready to get the cycle done and over with. Obviously I want to be pregnant this cycle, but if that's not gonna happen then I wanna hurry up and start AF so I can start tx with the RE. I'm feeling very impatient.
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you? The worst way I've dumped someone was had my friend do it over the phone...I was also 13 at the time, so that really doesn't count. As an adult I've never dumped someone is a horrible way. When I was living with my ex, he came home out of the blue one day saying, "I'm not able to treat you the way you deserve to be treated. I have issues with myself I need to work on" which was CLEARLY a bullshit line. He also suggested that one of us move out and 'separate' for a little bit. I looked for an apartment the next day, moved out as soon as it was available, only to discover that he had started spending time with a girl he's known for years. I ended that relationship real quick. I started dating DH shortly after so it all worked out

GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you?
I dumped a guy before going out on a date with the new boyfriend. I was a teenager. I know that's pretty mean but I would never do something like that now lol.

WAYDTGKU: OPK, BBT, BD ED starting today
R/R/CS: Looks like my temp is back to normal this morning. I figured that yesterday was just a weird one off. DH and I were supposed to start BD ED last night but we both ended up working late and just weren't able to make it happen. Tonight it is! TMI - but we both need it!
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you? The worst way that I have dumped somebody was when I was 19 and it was over voicemail. I had just met my now DH and I just knew that I had to be with him. Didn't even want to wait to get a hold of the ex, I was too focused on moving on. Looking back it kind of sounds like a jerk move but we weren’t together very long (4 months tops) and I was a kid!! AND it looks like I made the right decision because it all worked out.

R/R/CS: I scheduled an appointment with a counselor tomorrow to talk about all the loss in my life. I hope it goes well.
GTKY: i was dating a guy senior year/summer after HS. His dad ran the ferry that goes between Wisconsin & Michigan. He really wanted to take me. So we went for the day with the stipulation of talking. We drove 45 minutes home and I dumped him when he dropped me at home. Part of the reason was I had seen an old flame the week before at the fireworks with friends and the feelings came back. That old flame is DH.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, HIO
R/R/CS: My temp looks like it's on the rise, and I've had EWCM, so looks like O day is near. I feel a little guilty about knowing this information from temping, because DH still isn't on board, and thinks I should "stop obsessing, it will happen when it happens". I ignore that advice - because it isn't my personality to be so passive about it and I know that isn't how this whole thing works. But knowing this info makes me feel like I'm tricking him into having sex with me or something. Not that he minds. Once I've completed a full cycle temping, I plan on showing him my chart and explaining the birds & the bees to him. He's a logical person, so I think seeing the science experiment that is TTC will make him more understanding.

WAYDTGKU: just HIO, kinda NTNP
R/R/CS: *TW-CP mentioned* I came down with a bad depressive episode after my cp earlier this month. I have a history with depression and I guess hormones + bad news = major depression for me. It's especially tough with the holidays and all the parties and things going on that I have to struggle through. I don't want to add extra stress and disappointment to this month so I'm taking it easy and not tracking fertility this time around and just having sex when we want to, if we get KU great, if not we can start fresh in January. I didn't want to make a whole new post about it, but any stories of how taking a break did you well would be appreciated!
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you? When I was 20 and in my first "adult" relationship I was dating this guy who was 25, handsome, well eduacted, and came from old east coast money. I was so impressed by him I missed so many warning signs. About six months into the relationship he starts saying horrible racist things very casually at dinner. I was so shocked and horrified I just excused myself to the restroom, left the restaurant through a back door, and broke up with him via text the next day.

Month/Cycle: 5/6

WAYDTGKU: Temping vaginally and I swear I'm going to follow through with it this time and not chicken out because I'm scared of finding out something bad. Going to start BD EOD beginning after AF and probably go to ED when I am closer to expected O.
R/R/CS: I love my mother and I believe her intentions are good, but she needs to learn boundaries. Example, if she doesn't like or approve of something she will make passive aggressive comments to make me feel embarrassed, guilty or wrong for liking or choosing it. She doesn't know we are TTC #2 now but she always makes comments about how she doesn't think that we should, it would take away from what we can do for and give to DS. Her most recent comment "Children aren't trophies you know". How am I almost 30 years old and still worried about my mother being upset with me for not doing everything in my life how she wants me to?
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you?
When I was 16 I was good friends with a guy who asked me to go to prom. In my mind that was us going as friends, in his mind, I had just confirmed that we were in a relationship. This became clear when he basically attacked my face with his mouth on the dance floor...I was really uncomfortable and weirded out, so I bolted and left with other friends. The guy was so mad at me for "dumping" him at prom that he stole my shoes (you know how girls take them off to dance in flip flops) and refused to give them back.
Before I met DH I had been dating a guy for about 6 months. We went to dinner for my birthday and he told me that he had been talking to a guy at work who lived "an alternative lifestyle" and he wanted to have a relationship in which I was his "main relationship" but he saw other women as well. To answer your next question, no, it didn't go both ways, I was supposed to just be with him. I said no thank you and he said that this was very important to him, so we broke up...before our entrees even came....at my birthday dinner. I met DH a few months later so I dodged a bullet and it all worked out haha

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK, PNV, but still missing the major piece, haha
R/R/CS: I think today might be O day, I'm not sure though. I think I missed my surge. I was out of Wondos so I bought some $ store OPKs over the weekend. Well the Wondfos came yesterday, so when I got home for whatever reason I felt like I needed to test with both. The $ store looked almost positive, but the Wondfo was super light. But when I tested this morning with both again, they were both even lighter than yesterday. I don't typically get an obvious positive on OPKs, so I always count my darkest as positive and it lines up with my temps, so now I'm thinking that was yesterday's $ store test. But now I'm just questioning my whole life because if I hadn't ever bought the $ store tests, I would have never known. Meanwhile, all of that is just to say that we haven't had sex lately because of DH's SA and us both being sick, so it probably doesn't matter anyway. I just want to know if I O'd so I can know when to expect AF so I can hurry up and get my CD3 testing done.
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you? I don't really have a good story. There was one time in middle school when I was grounded and not allowed to talk on the phone. I had my BFF break up with my boyfriend for me, she was going to do it over the weekend, but I had no way to contact her to find out if she had actually done it. I remember thinking if I ran into him at the grocery store or something over the weekend, I wouldn't even know if we were still a couple, lol.

WAYDTGKU: You know. Peeing on things.
R/R/CS: I ordered a colour sensor yesterday for an arduino based OP strip reader. Will post the layout and code when I am done, if anyone is interested.
GTKY: I... was dating this guy for a couple of months, without much enthusiasm before deciding that I should probably sleep with him, mostly out of boredom. Okay, please understand that I haven't seen that many penises at the time, and his was just so... weird looking - like a small handful of peanuts in a flesh sock. And he was just so irrationally proud of it. So, I maybe laughed for longer than social norms dictate, and maybe I then said "Okay, we're done here. Put your pants back on." and maybe I stopped taking his phone calls. Yes, I am a bitch. But it was *really* weird looking.
Edit for clarity: Did not sleep with guy. Laughed at penis, then left forever.

Month/Cycle: 7/2 (IUD out in April, cycle started last month after extended breastfeeding)
CD: 24
WAYDTGKU: all of it and BD ED after +OPK
R/R/CS: I've always had a temp rise on the day of or the day after my +OPK. I'm a big tester and start testing two to three times a day when I start getting EWCM because I feel like my surge is kind of short. I had my first positive OPK yesterday morning and yesterday from around 4-8pm I had (what I thought was) aching O pain on one side. I really thought I'd have a temp rise and this morning, no rise and another positive OPK. Does this seem like maybe just a fake-out surge?
I know, I know, just wait and see and HIO! Lol With this long cycle I'm just so looking forward to being in the TWW and in that period where there is nothing I can do vs. feeling maybe there's something more I can and should do.
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you?
I ended an engagement after being together for years. It just wasn't right and in the end the best thing for both of us. I tried to be very kind about it but I'm sure he didn't see it that way at first.
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD: 36
WAYDTGKU: All of it, using my last OPK on the day I was supposed to test for my TWW.
R/R/CS: No sign of AF so I can move...back to WTO. Ugh my heart goes out to all of you who are spending an inordinate amount of time here in WTO. H keeps asking me if he is watering the desert. He is ready for me to see a doc like, now.
GTKY: I guess over voicemail. We were long-distance and had just had a huge fight right before he was about to deploy to Iraq, ending in him hanging up on me. For the next few days he didn't call, he wouldn't answer and he would hang up if he accidentally answered. I thought that was his way of breaking up with me and there was no way I was going to spend a year+ deployment hanging around for that and no way I was going to go silently in the night. It sounds awful but it turns out he was quite an asshole and it was a huge favor to both of us.

WAYDTGKU: Pnv, preseed, bd ed, temping, checking cm, waiting wishing
R/R/CS: Still crossing my fingers on O yesterday or two days ago. Also, looking at my past chart it's amazing how wack my cycle was last month after my chemical! I'm happy my body seems to be adjusting now. Emphasis on "seems."
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you?
My first real break up was terrible. Basically he said he "wanted to be free" and slept with another girl. Cool beans.
@iceandsnowflakes29 it's still so early in your cycle, don't stress just yet. I have heard breastfeeding changes things so that could be it. (No experience with that though)
@m6agua good luck. Talking things out can do wonders. I hope it helps you in the ways you need.
@Lecool noticing your cm certainly isn't tricking your husband. I've noticed it for years. It'd be odd if you didn't notice it IMO.
@housewifehobbyist I don't have any stories of breaks although we did consider it at one point and then opted against it. I hope it helps you though.
@smmatt08 ugh! Just ugh. I'm sorry about that. I hate those.
@shaami1986 what are you afraid will be wrong? Is it irrational fear or do you have a history of something? As I read on here, don't borrow trouble unless there's a cause.
@DarthFuriosa oh my! I laughed at your dump story! Haha
@PJpeppercorn you may just o tomorrow. You already stated the advice I'd give. Hio and wait. Haha
@virginiaham I've o'd late in the 30's of one cycle. Don't throw in the towel yet!
ETA: Not as bad as some of yours but really all that I have. Any of my others were generic break-ups.
CD: 29
WAYDTGKU: Well we've moved more into NTNP this cycles. We've just been traveling so much and have been so busy that there hasn't been many chances to HIO. My chart looks like a mess because of this and I don't think I've ovulated yet, so we'll see
R/R/CS: I've come to the conclusion that I'm totally okay with this not being our cycle. There is just too much going on this month and I'm moving the day after Christmas. I feel like I'm already being pulled in 12 different directions!
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you? In high school I had a boyfriend who said he loved me after only dating for 2 weeks. That really freaked me out so I just stopped answering his calls. After like a week he just decided to show up at my house...awkward.

The next week, he got a concussion during a game and then the following week got another concussion during a game and was not able to play for the rest of the season. Karma?? In all seriousness--I know concussions are a big deal and have long term effects, so I hope he is ok!

GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you?
@sarah0985 No I don't have any history or "reason" to worry, I am just a natural worst case scenario control freak worrier, so in my mind, if I start temping I will find out that I am not actually ovulating. I know, it is irrational, its just me haha

R/R/CS: DH is coming home from his work trip! So our house is going to be all ^^^^
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you?
I've never really been dumped or dumped another! I was kind of dating a guy who kept trying to dump me, but I was like "WE WERE NEVER TOGETHER!" He thought I was in love with him or something, but we only went out like twice. It was very, very weird. Otherwise, DH is my one and only serious relationship!
@mom2adoodle I'm typically a late O but also irregular so no real norm for me. It's already late in the day for me where I live and haven't had any other discharge of any kind. I even wore colored underwear today so I could check. I think I'll leave the watery cm as I'll just assume that it was cm. thank you ladies!
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: all the things
R/R/CS: DH told me last night right before we were about to HIO that he might have to fly out of state tomorrow or Friday, or possibly Monday. I was so mad! He KNOWS this is FW... I felt so betrayed. My body is being really unpredictable this month with fertile CM 3 days earlier than expected, and I kind of suspect I might O tomorrow or Friday, so I was pushing him to push for his trip to be Monday, but everything is still up in the air. As of this morning it sounds like he won't have to fly tomorrow, at least, but Friday is still a possibility. I really hope the other people involved agree on Monday because then we'd be able to definitely cover all of FW. I'm just sad at the prospect of not having great timing this month, and it's already month 4. I know it's not that long into the grand scheme of trying, but it's still a struggle. I don't know how people keep doing this - I'm almost ready to give up. My emotions can't take it!
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you? I mean... most of my serious relationships prior to DH have ended in blow out fights (that I would so rather not discuss). However, I was casually dating this one guy in college who was super duper cute and sweet, but one day he sent me a text with the word phenomenal spelled something like "fenominal", and I kind of stopped responding to his texts after that... I'm a bad person. He didn't deserve that, but I was 21, so how much can you expect?
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: Currently benched. Counting the days until AF, so we can try again.
R/R/CS: I'm pretty sure I o'ed yesterday. I probably should head to the TWW, but I don't wanna. Since I am benched, it feels more like WTO for next month's O (even though I know I got to wait for AF first. Can I just stay here for another month?
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you?
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, PNV, HIO
R/R/CS: Just starting to get antsy about the big O day and starting to HIO. I usually ovulate around CD 15-17 (never really temped before, but according to my OPKs, assuming I O 24 hours later).
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you? I think the worst times have been when you are with someone, he's calling you, you're calling him, you see each other a lot. And then crickets. Without explanation. I would rather someone tell me straight to my face, "hey I'm just not interested in you." The times when a guy has told me that was (while initially awkward) fantastic because then I wouldn't have to obsess. Of course I was really lucky because I started dating future DH when I was 22 and then married at 24, so maybe if I was older and had that sort of thing happen to me, I would have gotten the picture more clearly & quickly.
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.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: We're doing all of the things. Temping, CM, Pre-seed, OPKs, BD ED now that I've started my FW.
R/R/CS: Nothing too much right now. The English department had a gift exchange this morning and my gift came from a good friend of mine. She gave me a bottle of wine and a hangover kit, since she doesn't know I'm TTC and figured I'd be "hammered by 4:30 on Friday afternoon." I guess I will hang on to the bottle (it's a good wine) and get hammered when AF decides to show her face.
I'm also a little worried. My OPKs have been negative since CD10, but I've had EWCM three times since then. My temps haven't spiked, so I'm not sure. FF and OvaGraph have given me the "green light" and this is supposed to be FW, but I'm not sure. Maybe I missed my LH surge and didn't realize it? I guess we'll just have to see what happens. The TWW is going to be tense...Merry Christmas to me.
GTKY: Hump day dump day. What's the worst way you have dumped someone, or someone has dumped you?
Oh Lord. When I was 25 years old, I had started dating a guy that I had known since high school. We reconnected the August before and were an "official" couple by December. In July, about two weeks after my birthday, which only HIS friends attended, mine were "too busy." (Some friends they were...) Well, two weeks went by and I had just finished hell week at a job I had just started in April. I was worn out, unhappy, and just in a shitty mood anyway. As I was leaving work for the night, he texted me to meet up with him and his friends for a beer. When I met up with them, he wouldn't acknowledge me and continued to make plans with his friends for the end of August to go floating down a river and drink. When I asked when they would be doing this, and if I was invited, he told me, "You wouldn't want to come anyway."
I said fine and told him I needed to go home. He offered to walk me out to my car (which he never did - looking back on it, he was a total asshole). He opened my car door and told me that he was going back to grad school and "wouldn't have time for a relationship." When I reacted with surprise, he said that he had wanted to break up with me since May, but didn't want to ruin my birthday. He then asked me to give him back the iPod Touch he had given me for my birthday present because he had bought it for himself since he knew he was going to break up with me anyway. I told him to f*ck off, got back in my car, and drove away. I'm incensed just thinking about it. I found out about a week later that he had started seeing some chick from his grad school classes.
