JamieK1882 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 27/13

Timing: -5, -2

Testing Plans: another BFN today, so I'm officially out. AF should be here today or tomorrow. This will prob be my last time posting in the TWW for now, so glad I got to start a thread.

R/R/CS: Not a R/R per say, but I have a question that is probably going to be viewed as UO. This was our first month really trying (other months NTNP), and obviously it didn't happen, which is fine (I know it can take up to a year). I'm 33 years old and DH is 37. We have one DD who was born Nov '14, and would love two more if it's in the cards for us. I know we're not "old," however, I would like some spacing between our next two and don't want to be pushing 40 and still trying. (I hope I said that right...please know I'm not trying to offend anyone!). Anyways, DH and I talked last night and I said that maybe we try one more month and if it doesn't happen, we wait again until May. My reasoning is that I don't necessarily want another Nov/Dec baby. I KNOW I KNOW that is extremely unpopular, and trust me I would take any baby that God would give me. My thinking behind that was primarily for work reasons. I COULD do another Nov/Dec baby, but with my job it's not the most ideal timing. DH thinks that we should continue trying either way, and when it happens it happens. He said we aren't getting younger, and doesn't want to delay the process should this take us some time. I think I'm leaning towards agreeing with him, and I really want another child and know it could take awhile, but just wondering if anyone had any type of situation like that or what their thoughts were? Again, truly hope this didn't offend anyone in any way and just trying to get some opinions.

GTKY: I would love the ability to not have to sleep. I sleep like crap anyways, so it would be nice to be productive during the night while everyone else is sleeping so I could enjoy my awake time!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 22/7

Timing: -3, -1, O

Testing Plans: probably 10DPO now. My boobs hurt today and the SS is making me feel speshul

R/R/CS: Anyone else notice FF's "Early Pregnancy Signs Estimator"? It's like a green bar that fills up as you get closer to AF with a percentage likelihood that you are KTFU... anyway it's the devil reincarnated. That is all.

DCHokiemom · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 2

CD/DPO: 34/10

Timing: good

Testing Plans: BFN this morning on cheapie. I convinced myself I saw something but DH told me I was crazy.

R/R/CS: I am pretty sure I am out. I just don't feel anything other than these cramps. The doctor told me it's most likely corpus luteal pain which apparently is common in people who have taken clomid and not a sign of implantation or anything. DH also told me this morning that my ovaries need to "work harder". He was totally joking and didn't mean anything by it, but it just shows how differently we feel about this TTC "journey". He is very laid back, like it will happen when it will happen....and doesn't understand how I feel knowing our issue is on my end.

GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be? (sorry if this was previously used, I'm kinda a newbie and haven't seen it used yet). To be able to eat all the food and drink all the wine, and have the body of a supermodel. Xray vision is for the birds.

*lurking from WTO*

@JamieK1882 We started trying last month so I wouldn't be due in the summer which would be bad for my job. If we aren't pregnant by september/october (which is quite a while from now) I don't thinK we will stop trying. I know I can't get fired or lose my job for having my baby in the summer lol but if there wasn't laws protecting me I would probably lose my job. I would rather be the team player and that is why we waited a few extra months, but now that we have started I'm not going to stop trying or take a break.

I would say unless it means you are going to lose your job or take a demotion or something, it's a silly reason. Although I am in a similar predicament... I just committed to a 3 year development program at work, essentially 3 years of moving around and "cross-training "to get the most exposure and become the ultimate operations SME. There was a lot of competition for this role and part of me feels like getting KTFU will come off as a little ungrateful

ETA: All you can do is hope that the culture/leadership at your workplace has a decent moral compass and supports family values. But you shouldn't change your values if they won't!

JamieK1882 · January 2016

Thanks @PrettyPalomino and @sugarpixxie2 . I think I knew that's what I wanted to do, but helps to hear it from someone other than DH. I teach at a university, and am course master for a huge fall course. There is a big group project due at the end of the semester, and final grades and everything. It sounds silly typing it, but it is always a big headache and I know no one else would want to take it on. However, I know that my (hopefully future) baby is more important than that.

Also, I feel like I jinxed myself by even bringing this up. : /
Edit: typing

MRSCORKER · January 2016

@JamieK1882 I know what you mean about the timing but if it were me, I would keep trying. I struggled with whether to take a few months off because we're going on a cruise in February. I agonized over it and went back and forth. I was so worried about something going wrong while I was stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean. In the end, I decided to keep trying because there was no guarantee I would get KU anywway and if it was going to take a year, I would rather that year start ASAP. I think if it happens at the least ideal time, you would just find a way to make it work.

Month/Cycle: 5/4 (1 NTNP, 2 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: -5,-4,-2,-1, O

Testing Plans: Friday 1/15 (11 DPO) before we start to move. I don't want to wait until I miss AF and lift heavy boxes and furniture all weekend.

R/R/CS: Started having out of the ordinary PMS symptoms at 2 DPO. Bodies are annoying, especially the lady parts. Also, and sorry if TMI... Holy creamy CM. So much of it! Aren't you supposed to dry out right after O? Get it together ute!

GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be? (sorry if this was previously used, I'm kinda a newbie and haven't seen it used yet)
I think I might go for the Harry Potter ability to disapparate/apparate. No more rush hour or long flights, I could be in Paris in seconds! I'm also with @DCHokiemom, the ability to eat whatever I wanted and still be lean and fit, that would heavenly because, pizza.

pretzel2plus1 · January 2016

@PrettyPalomino I agree that the early signs estimator is awful! Especially since I had lots of points and when my CHs moved, I now have none.

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 34/4

Timing: -1, O

Testing Plans: not until next weekend, see rant

R/R/CS: A couple of days ago I was super happy that FF took an extra 3 days to identify my O date, making my TWW that much shorter. Then a higher temp yesterday moved my CHs to CD 30, so I'm starting all over! Oh well, I'm still just happy to be here!

Rave: It's Friday!

GTKY: To be in multiple places at once. I would get so much more done!

LizaKate1213 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 30/14

Timing: Not good enough apparently... -5, -4, -2, -1 0

Testing Plans: BFN this morning on FRER. I'm officially out.

R/R/CS: For a temp spike this morning, on the day that I usually drop to just above coverline. Naturally I went running for my most expensive HPT and end up with a glaring BFN. I'm really sick and tired of this process. It isn't fun anymore, I'm worn out and exhausted. I just want intimacy with my husband to be for fun again and not "with a purpose." This sucks. Sorry, I'm a downer today.

GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be? I've always wanted to know what other people were thinking, but I would want to be able to control it and not just hear everyone at the same time without being able to turn it off.

jhems776 · January 2016

***BU Presto study question about Trak

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 18/4ish

Timing: EOD

Testing Plans: future me will decide

R/R/CS: We are doing the BU Presto study and I know several others on here did this as well. H was shipped the Trak at home sperm count kit. He did it last night and I have a question about reading the results. For those that have done this after you spin it and all the sperm get forced to the end and you see how far up the "white" line goes. Well from 0-30 the line was very opaque and from 30-60 it was still white but a bit translucent. Normal is 60-75 and 15 and under is low. What did yours look like and what number would you say this is?

GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be? (sorry if this was previously used, I'm kinda a newbie and haven't seen it used yet)
I'm with the crowd, limitless food, no working out, but an amazing body. The thought of other people being able to read minds kind of scares me, have ever had a bad/extreme thought and then someone looked at your oddly and thought they know.

JRB3 · January 2016

Lurking from WTO...
@LizaKate1213 hugs! I'm sorry you are so down, TTC is stressful and all around crappy for a lot of women. Try to pamper yourself this weekend if you can and drink all the wine.

JamieK1882 · January 2016

@LizaKate1213 ugh I'm sorry. You've been at it longer than me, but I definitely feel your frustration. DH and I don't normally have sex very often, so for us this is a very stressful and trying process, and I just want it to be over. Let's both enjoy some wine tonight!!

H4aPartyof5 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 28/13

Timing: -5, -3, O

Testing Plans: Maybe tomorrow

R/R/CS: My temp went back up so if AF doesn't come by tomorrow morning and if my temp stays around where it was this morning, I may test. Otherwise, I'm starting to wonder if my other apps may have been right when they indicated CD 17 may have been O.

GTKY: I'm also with @DCHokiemom, though I also think that time travel would be a nice super power.

Marley629 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 21/8

Timing: -2. 1

Testing Plans: I gave in and tested with wondfo's today. Bfn as expected. I also stopped at Target on way to work to pick up FRER (the flat version) and will try to hold off until Tuesday to use those but who am I kidding. I'll be lucky i make it through the day without opening them

R/R/CS: my temp went up slightly again this morning. This is first month temping so I'll be honest and say I have no idea what I'm looking at temp wise

GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be? (sorry if this was previously used, I'm kinda a newbie and haven't seen it used yet)

I would like the power to teleport. I feel like I'm constantly in my car and/or stuck in NJ traffic. I could get so much more done in my life and be less stressed without the need to drive.

picklesplease · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 39/13

Timing: (according to FF) -5, -4, -3, -2, O

Testing Plans: Already got my BFN yesterday. I'm out this month. I think someone posted about needing an "in between TWW and WTO board" and I totally support that idea. I just want AF to show up so that I can move on.

R/R/CS: I had an excellent observation yesterday. I laughed because I was stressing out about it and one thing I thought was really silly was praised by my supervisor. She was impressed that I paid attention to detail so much to take care of that thing. I thought it was no big deal, but apparently not many other teachers in my building do that, so it is a big deal. I have at least one more observation from my supervisor, which I get to pick the day to have her come in, and then I'm done with my big evaluation this year. It hopefully means that I will be a tenured teacher in my district. It might not sound like much, but it's just a little bit of job security. And a little bit of help in what they pay for my health insurance, which is already amazing.

GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be? I would definitely agree with the superpower to eat and drink whatever I want and still be lean and fit. I would take it one step further and say the power to turn the energy I spend reading or at my desk writing lesson plans and convert it into burnt calories, which would also help me stay healthy, because I spend a shit ton of hours working...

Similar situation here! I'm 30 and hubby is 29, so we don't have the age issue...although back in the day I always said I wanted 3 kids before age 30. Ha...right!
My job has about 6 months of "busy" time (mid-August through mid-Feb) where I work about 55-60 hours/week and 6 months of more manageable work load. I don't think I'll have the patience to stop trying if we don't hit an "ideal" window of time, however a December/January baby would be great to return to work when it's smooth sailing!

shaami1986 · January 2016

@JamieK1882 I think that a lot of people have preferences about when they would or wouldn't like to be pregnant or have a baby. I had DS in August and let me just say that the third tri in the summer was horrible haha So, I would love for that not to be the case again, and it looks like it won't anyway, but it wasn't something I was actively trying to avoid.

@DCHokiemom Sorry for the BFN, I convince myself that I see all manners of lines in all different places on obviously white tests. I think DH was about to have me committed, so I stopped showing him since I probably did look crazy!

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 26/14

Timing: -4, -3, -1, 0

Testing Plans: Got another BFN on a wondfo last night, so no more plans....

R/R/CS: I would just like AF to start now. I was feeling mildly crampy all day yesterday and have come to terms with the fact that it just hasn't happened this cycle, so I would really like for it to just start and get it over with. But of course, my body wants to act like even more of an asshole when performing basic functions and is holding off. Other than feeling fat and bloated and cranky, I don't even feel like I'm about to start, so it is probably going to come out of nowhere, full force like a ninja.

GTKY: I would have to go with mind control. I could rule the world...muahaha!

world pinky and the brain pinky brain same thing take over

LizaKate1213 · January 2016

Thank you, @JRB3 and @JamieK1882! I know I have plenty more time, I just wish I had known it would be this long. We would have started trying about 6 months earlier when DH really wanted to but I was settling into a new job. Will be drinking all the wine tonight!

DaAliDShow · January 2016

*****TW: BFP*****

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 27/13 (estimate based on OPK, CM, and CP)

Timing: -1, O, +1

Testing plans: BFP on an FR Digi!!!!!

R/R/CS: I am still in shock! It's our day off, so DH and I tested together. We were standing in the bathroom and he was like, "Are you gonna save the extra pee in case it's a bad test?" I said, "Well, digitals are a little less sensitive so we could try an FRER too." And right at that moment it turned positive! I was like, "OR NOT!!!" and then we were hugging and crying.

I really can't believe it happened when I wasn't temping, but I certainly am not complaining! I feel so lucky that it happened so soon after starting TTC. I am so grateful for all of your support and will be creepily lurking to see your BFP's!

GTKY: I wish I had uterus goggles.

MRSCORKER · January 2016

Congrats @alicedavid2013! H & H 9 to you!

shaami1986 · January 2016

@LizaKate1213 I know what you mean about thinking things would go differently. I started this process feeling like wow this is going to be so nice and sweet and fun and now it is just like frustration and bitterness and resentment. I hope you feel better and more hopeful about it soon but the process is a rough one and can become so much different than expected.

@BerkeBaby We are in the same spot, knowing nothing happened and just waiting to try again, it sucks! I also second the idea of having the inbetweeners thread, a place to wallow and try to pull out of the feelings of defeat lol The Ready To Reboot thread?

MrsDho11 · January 2016

@alicedavid2013 - Congrats! H&H 9 to you!

Just stopped by to wish everyone luck! Looks like today is going to be CD1 for me, and I hope to see none of you who don't already know you're out over on WTO. For those who are out or have BFNs, *hugs*.

Edit: grammar

@LizaKate1213 Sorry about that. :( I am starting to feel the same way, but I'm not testing for another week... I'm sure I would feel the same if it were another BFN at this point... <<hugs>>

@MRSCORKER We are pretty close to cycle twins this month! I literally said the Exact. Same. Thing to myself yesterday, like A. Holy creamy CM! and B. Shouldn't I be drying up? This is why I never bothered to track CM before because I never really get completely DRY so htf are you supposed to know what's going on@!? But I guess it gets easier the more we pay attention to our body's patterns and it's probably totes normal.

Month/Cycle: 17 temping / 2 ttc

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, +1, +2

Testing Plans: Saturday Jan 16th is what my TTC Ticker says, but the Mom/Dad mugs I ordered aren't scheduled to arrive till Monday! Hoping they come early enough that I don't have to think about changing the plan... After all, if AF hasn't arrived, I won't be any less KU by waiting a couple extra days but it's going to be harder and harder I know!

R/R/CS: I am having such a tough time holding back from buying all the baby things. My first two crib-sheets came in yesterday before DH got home from work and nearly brought me to tears. There's a pack of snappis coming from Amazon today, but that's it for now. Oh, and the wetbags. Gahh!!!!

GTKY: I would want to slow and speed up time so I could hold onto those special moments... and give myself extra time to get shh done! lol

I would say you're not completely out yet. Wrong O date aside, there's also the chance of late implantation (11 or 12 DPO) in which case you wouldn't get a positive until like 15DPO or something. I've seen some charts on FF with negative tests all the way up to 13 or 14DPO! You're not out until AF shows.

picklesplease · January 2016

@alicedavid2013 - CONGRATS! H&H9 to you! Please come back and keep us posted! Best of luck to you!

@shaami1986 - I would totally support a RTR (Ready to Reboot) thread! lol! Sounds like a great idea to me!

@MrsDho11 - So sorry to hear about CD1.

@PrettyPalomino - Thanks. I'm going to wait until Monday (when AF is supposed to show) and test if she doesn't show up. I can feel the cramps, so I think I may be back to WTO threads tomorrow. I also don't think late implantation is possible as we haven't BD since O. If I remember correctly, sperm only survives 5 days, right? I don't know. I'm just trying not to get my hopes up, only to get let down again. Your positive attitude is very much appreciated.

MonaLisaRalphio · January 2016

@JamieK1882 @DCHokiemom @LizaKate1213 @BerkeBaby I'm so sorry to see all the BFNs!

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 27/4

Timing: -2, -1, O

Testing Plans: Waiting for AF or 18DPO since my LP has not yet been identified. I'm super not stressing about it. I know it means exactly nothing, but I have the most incredibly strong feeling that I am NOT going to get a BFP this cycle. I have absolutely no hope and no anxiety about it. No urge to test. Nothing.

R/R/CS: This morning, DH was all gropey and cuddly and sweet, and I could tell he was trying to start something, but I really didn't have time. He told me that he had been hoping to get it on last night, too, but I was absolutely exhausted and I passed right out when we got in bed. I'm annoyed, because he is so rarely the one to initiate things, and I wish I could have stayed in bed with him. It's a drizzly, gross morning, and it would have been perfect to just lay around and enjoy each other a bit.

GTKY: I'm so bad at stuff like this, so I don't have a good answer, but this question reminds me of a poster that one of my colleagues has on her door. It says, "I TEACH. What's your superpower?" It's cute but in a way where it sort of makes me want to punch her a little.

ETA Congrats, @alicedavid2013 !!!!!

PrettyPalomino · January 2016

@Berkebaby The whole "sperm lives 5 days" thing is relative to how long they live before you O. Afterward, the work is done. You should watch The Great Sperm Race if you haven't already! I don't think I can explain :S

There's a fine balance between getting your hopes up too early and writing off a cycle too early. Oh the joys of the TWW!

picklesplease · January 2016

@PrettyPalomino - I have watched TGSR. I guess I didn't realize that about the 5 days. It's good to know. I'll just wait until Monday, though. I don't want to waste a stick if I don't have to. lol! Thank you!

whiska · January 2016

Seeing that @MrsDho11 is leaving the tww board

Seriously though, you've been so kind and supportive! Sorry for your CD1.

Month/Cycle: 10/9

CD/DPO: 25/8

Timing: -2, 0

Testing Plans: one week!

R/R/CS: I've seen a lot of people say that they're out and they wish that af would just show so they can get on with it. How are you guys so sure? Temp dips? I saw one person mention cramps? I guess I'm just so hopeful by 13 or 14 dpo that I don't want to count myself out!

GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
Healing. I'm trying to get into med school so I would love to have the power to heal for real. Plus I wouldn't be as afraid of being assaulted because I could heal my own stab wounds or whatever. Oooh, and I could finally eat a ton of chocolate and caffeine and just tell my stomach to calm tf down!

Congrats @alicedavid2013 ! H&H 9 months!

Paturkey · January 2016

@alicedavid2013 Congratulations!

Sorry to all the BFNs today

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 31/11

Timing: All the days

Testing Plans: debating... Maybe tomorrow or maybe wait until Sunday? AF was due yesterday and was a no-show and nothing today yet either. I have a consistent 9-day LP so I'm approaching two days late. For normal LPs I'd think that was a reasonable time to test but since it's still only 12 or 13 DPO for me I'm gun-shy. FF suggests waiting until the 16th at 19 DPO which is bsc.

R/R/CS: See above. I'm still here, which is awesome! But I'm nervous to test. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I'll attach my chart- I'm fairly confident of O date despite the chaos of constant travel- we slept in ten different places during this cycle including four during the FW. The open circles are from travel, time changes and sharing a room with a toddler (missing temp was a ten-hour flight). It's been a bananas 31 days.

I don't have any symptoms at all, including for AF. I did have a bizarre dream this morning though that involved me eating a salad that was made up of bits of fabric and a pair of baby socks. With salad dressing. And I think I was eating it with chopsticks...

GTKY: I'm stealing @MRSCORKER 's apparition idea! Especially this last month it would have been so epic to arrive instantly!

*******TW- CP mentioned in R/R/CS*********************

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 32/11

Timing: -2,-1,0

Testing Plans: waiting for AF

R/R/CS: Today is the worst. My temp dropped .40 degrees, I'm still feeling nauseous and *TMI* but I had loose stools all morning. I also had cramping and this pressure in my vagina that usually comes before AF (does anyone else get that? I'm guessing it's a cervix thing) so I threw some tampons in my purse even though I'm not expecting her until Tuesday. Lo and behold, when I was checking CM just a few minutes ago there was a single dark red clot, so I think I'm getting my period early this cycle. It stinks, but my temperature pattern has been almost identical to last month's pregnancy/cp chart and I could not have handled another one of those so soon, so maybe it's for the best.

GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Teleporation! Traveling the world on my day off, shortening my hour long commute... popping to the grocery store for last minute cookies. All of those would be awesome.

@PrettyPalomino I'm cd 14 today and after my BFN yesterday, I started on that train of thought that you mentioned. For a few hours, I kept thinking, well, even if I implanted at a normal date, it takes 36-48 hours for HCG levels to double and if mine are at like, 1, then it would take a long time to turn a test! But then I stopped myself because I felt like I was sounding like a speshful snowflake and felt ridiculous hah You're right about that fine line!

Happy to hear about another BFP

and sending positive vibes for those with BFNs.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 20/5

Timing: -4, -1

Testing Plans: Doing my best to stick to 1/16.

R/R/CS: So my confusion continues. This morning I had a super slight tinge of pink in my CM which I have no idea what that could mean, if anything. I'm trying to stick with my CD15 O date which would mean a 27-day cycle, but if I go with O on CD13 and a 25-day cycle, that would be more consistent with last month. I've also had spotting 2-3 days before CD1 for the last 3 cycles so if I start spotting in the next day or two, I will most likely count myself out. This 2WW can't go by fast enough.

GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be? Gotta go with teleportation on this one.

Month/Cycle: 2nd after treatment. We started trying last December.

CD/DPO:. Cd22, 7dpo (my best guess based off of OPKS and cm, my temping wasn't great bc of vaca/traveling.

Timing: eod 8-22 + o

Testing Plans: 12day DPO is af isn't here...

R/R/CS: just enjoying the snow here in the mountains, gearing up for some snowshoeing when hubby finishes up his work.

GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be? (sorry if this was previously used, I'm kinda a newbie and haven't seen it used yet) uhhh... Can Getting pregnant be my super power?! How bout Cure cancer. Or be able to eat anything I want without gaining weight.

Eta congrats @alicedavid2013

Sorry @MrsDho11 about CD1

H4aPartyof5 · January 2016

Congrats @alicedavid2013! Hope you have a H&H 9 months.

@whiska...I personally was pretty sure that I was out yesterday because of the temp drop so close to my longest LP according to FF (I've seen similar patterns in previous months charting). That plus the negative test the day before was pretty convincing. Technically, per FF, AF should have arrived today, but so far she's a no show. I'm kind of in limbo at the moment and won't test until tomorrow, or even Sunday, if no AF.

@MrsDho11 so sorry for CD1.

ReesaAnne16 · January 2016

@LizaKate1213 - I know how you're feeling, and I'm sorry it's hitting you hard today. I hope you are able to take some time for yourself and do something you love.

Month/Cycle:8/8

CD/DPO: 23/10

Timing: -5,-3,-1,+1

Testing Plans: BFN today

R/R/CS: The last 2 nights I had dreams where I got a BFP... it sucks... it sucks to have those dreams, wake up and have the opposite be true, night after night.

GTKY: If you could have one superpower, what would it be? I've always said to be able to turn into any animal, that way I could also fly. Now that we're living so far from family, I might choose teleportation.

vampirina · January 2016

@JamieK1882 - I completly understand your concerns about timing and ultimately on you and your husband can decide whether it is best to wait or not. I feel like kids are never going to be convienient, including their arrival, and for me building my family is my number 1 priority. If I get KTFU now, it'd actually be super inconvienient, since I typically need to do a lot of summer and fall travel (and I don't think I'd want to if I were further along), and then fall is ridiculously busy. But I'm going to keep trying.

Congrats @alicedavid2013!

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 33/?

Timing: ED to EOD

Testing Plans: 1/15, well trying to, but there is a chance I'll cave and test on Sunday.

R/R/CS: I have a few more cramps today. I was so certain AF would arrive in the middle of the night, but nada. It's a good thing, but it's making it harder for me to hold out and not test. Still trying to not test till next weekend, though, since I'd like both DH and I to be home, and I really don't want to drop the money on a test when AF if AF is just going to show up anyway.

GTKY. I'm with @MRSCORKER! I'd go for the ability to teleport or apparate (if you're magical

) Life would be so much better if I could travel nearly anywhere instantly.

picklesplease · January 2016

@ReesaAnne16- That was me over NYE. I kept dreaming that I was spechul and got my BFP on NYE and surprised DH at midnight with the news. Ugh...when I woke up, I started sobbing. Those dreams are the friggin' worst. I'm sorry you had to deal with that...
