PrettyPalomino · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: -3, -1, O

Testing Plans: BFN again today, one more test tomorrow before surgery then nothing unless AF is M.I.A.

R/R/CS: I don't think this is our month, I feel so normal and my temps the last couple of CDs are identical to my two other charts... I planned a trip for DH and I over my next FW to a lovely getaway 4 hours away! So I'm not entirely torn up that I will probably get to drink on our mini getaway. C'est la vie!

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? I asked this because my laser eye surgery is tomorrow and they don't want me to have a hint of makeup left, so I'm at work today without makeup :S:S If I straighten my hair it takes maybe 15 minutes to blow dry and straighten. Makeup takes like 4 minutes. I'm a slow poke in the shower though

pretzel2plus1 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 38/8

Timing: -1, O

Testing Plans: Friday

R/R/CS: I will not pretend that is an implantation dip. I just will not do it. The crazy is alive and well this morning.

GTKY: Anywhere from 5 minutes to half an hour depending on where I'm going and how much time I actually have in the morning. With my job
it's no big deal if my hair is up and I only have on minimal makeup (or none at all!) Today is looking like a 5-minute day.

@PrettyPalomino I hope your surgery goes well!

Marley629 · January 2016

ETA: @PrettyPalomino sorry about your BFN! A getaway sounds like a perfect idea! Good luck with your surgery

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 25/10

Timing: -1

Testing Plans: BFN again this morning. No more testing unless AF doesn't show by Thursday.

R/R/CS: by removing the advanced monitor opk reading, FF changed my CH to 1/2 which I feel is more accurate based in other signs. I feel out this morning. My temp dropped a little, and I'm crampy like I normally am a day or two before AF. I know only time will tell but my hope is dwindling. We just started trying so I can't be too upset. I know it can take time. It just sucks as this months I will be away on a business trip 3 days potentially out of my next FW.. So I'm really bummed about that.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? Little to no time. Mostly under 5. If I'm going out somewhere or have an important meeting, it may take me under 10. I've always been a minimalist when it comes to makeup.

Kay6519 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 17/3

Timing: Great! ED from AF end to today

Testing Plans: future me will decide

R/R/CS: DH was so cute yesterday! My package of Wondfos came in the mail yesterday morning, and DHwas so excited he had to drive in to town to leave the package at my office. So now everyone at work is aware that we are having copious amounts of unprotected sex. Then as soon as I got off work, DH called me to ask if I had taken a test yet. Lol

We had a general education talk about the use of HPTs that night. It was cute to see him so excited though.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning?

I don't wear make-up.

Mythril · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 1

CD/DPO: 41

Timing: n/a

Testing Plans: n/a

R/R/CS: I'm moving back over to wto. Just came by to tell everyone. Ff confirmed my suspected o was not an o this morning because my Temps went below the coverline for several days.

GTKY: generally I don't wear make up. Sometimes when I'm feeling less lazy I'll put on eye liner and mascara. When I'm doing it up it takes about 20-30 minutes.

SLou24 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 19/ 3 or 4

Timing: -5, -2, 0 or -3,-1,+1

Testing Plans: none! Not testing early this month

R/R/CS: nada. I'm chill.

GTKY: 10-15 min on a normal work day. If I'm going out or do a full blowout, more like 30 min. I think I'm pretty low maintenance! Tons of makeup has never been my thing.

MRSCORKER · January 2016

@PrettyPalomino Sorry about the BFN but good luck on your surgery!

@pretzel2plus1 I'm 8 DPO and had a dip this morning as well, not to mention some pretty hard to ignore cramping last night and what I *thought* could have been some brownish tinted CM. The crazy is TAKING OVER.

@Marley629 I really feel good about O on 1/2 for you. Good call on taking out the wonky OPK reading.

@Kay6519 I'm exhausted just reading your timing. Good for you girl, get it.

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

CD/DPO: 24/8

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

Testing Plans: Maybe tomorrow, I'm gonna try to hold off until Thursday.

R/R/CS: After posting yesterday that my chart looked really good, I had a dip this morning that has me dancing on the line between going BSC and calling it an implantation dip and feeling pretty down/losing hope. I've been having minor cramping, more like twinges in the ute since like 2 DPO but last night, they were actual AF type cramps that had me wanting to curl up with a heating pad. I usually do start to get AF symptoms around this time but I had them when I got my BFP too so I might as well stop speculating and wait until I can start peeing on things.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning?
Between 20-40 minutes depending on how fancy I'm feeling.

Tippy05 · January 2016

@PrettyPalomino - good luck on your surgery today!

@Pretzel2plus1 - I looked at your chart before I read your full answer, and thought "oh good for her, that looks like an implation dip". I don't mean to feed the crazy, but FX for you!!

Month/Cycle:4 (2TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 23/7

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

Testing Plans: Friday or Saturday

R/R/CS: I'm thinking about cancelling my personal trainer. I've gained so much weight since my miscarriage and going to the gym isn't "fun" anymore. I'm embarrassed about how much weight I've gained and just get disappointed when I see myself in a mirror. It's bad. I need to get my eating under control before I can even thing about getting back with him. I feel guilty for quitting, but I'm just not in a good place right now and it's a waste of my money and his time. Ugh...

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? I give myself an hour to get ready, including shower time. I have curly hair, which I straighten just about everyday so that takes the majority of my time. Makeup takes about 5 minutes. If I go curly, I can be ready in about 30 minutes.

MRSCORKER · January 2016

@Tippy05 I so feel you on the trainer thing. I lost a ton of weight before my wedding and then fell off the wagon and gained about 15ish back in the few months after. I decided to get with a trainer to get the 15 back off but when I got in the gym and saw myself in the workout clothes that fit so beautifully a few months before, I just cried everytime I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Not to mention I was so discouraged because I couldn't do half of what I was doing in the gym prior to the weight gain. I really felt like I needed to lose weight before I could get back in the gym. It's completely crazy thinking but I get it. I'm sorry you're going through that, those are hard feelings to deal with.

stephaniebuzzella · January 2016

Month/Cycle:4/4

CD/DPO:24/8

Timing:-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1.....

Testing Plans: BFN's since I caved this weekend. I'll just keep taking them until AF shows up or I get a bfp.

R/R/CS: @Tippy05 I'm right there with you. I gained a fair amount after my mc and I'm still comforting myself with every bad food I can.
Today I'm in a crabass mood and I need a time out. I argued with my 5yo on the way to school about how many minutes are in an hour. Clearly I'm losing it.

GTKY: I spend about 30 minutes getting ready, I drop the kids at school, come home and clean the house and then I shower for about 10 minutes and spend the remainder blowing my hair dry and putting on mascara, blush and gloss. My days of going all out are few and far between haha

Edited because it didn't all post the first time.

[Deleted User] · January 2016

***CS Welcome***

@PrettyPalomino GL tomorrow! DH has wanted to get that too for some time, so one of these days we might break down and sign him up. FX it goes smoothly and hope to hear how your recovery from that goes, too!

Month/Cycle: 17th temping/ 2 ttc

CD/DPO: 25/9

Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,0,+1,+2

Testing Plans: Trying to hold out till Saturday, but of course, yesterday's thread about how soon you can get a reliable positive test had me thinking all the thoughts... I just have the same two storebrand or ept's or something that have been burning a hole in my closet for several months now, so I don't want to burn them up too soon if I don't have to. If AF shows though, I'm getting a 50/20 pack of wondfos, and maybe a few CBEA OPKs, too. Plus I have a box of blue Mucinex ready to go as well! Gahh I just kept reminding myself yesterday of all the work I need to get done this week, and projects to finish this month and that if I were to test earlier and get a BFP then I won't be able to concentrate on what I have to do anymore, so waiting a bit longer won't change the outcome...

R/R/CS: My chart is doing this crazy zig-zag thing so of course I'm flipping through my other charts to see when that ever happened before or what it means... which of course is NOTHING and time will tell. It could keep zig-zagging or it could peter out, or drop fast and AF will arrive. Still no PMS symptoms though, so I am holding onto that.
<img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/tg/yvygv2a4w70s.jpg" alt="" height="526" width="701">

GTKY: If I am just around the house, I mostly don't do makeup, but I may take a minute or two to do a little powder/bronzer, especially if I am expecting a delivery. The most I take on a regular day if I leave the house is maybe 5-10, but really never for hair. My hair is just ridiculously long, so I either wash it and let it air dry, or just brush it and tie it back in some kind of messy bun. My SiL is a hairdresser though, so I'm always a little jelly when I see how pretty her and her daughter's hair looks on the reg!

DumbledoresArmy · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/5

CD/DPO: 23/2

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing Plans: No plans

R/R/CS: If I don't get pregnant this time, I think it's time to force DH to get tested. He's probably fine but this is my second clomid cycle and I only have so many of these.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? I'm pretty minimalistic when it comes to this stuff. 15 min maybe? Just because my hair takes a long time to dry.

DumbledoresArmy · January 2016

@PrettyPalomino Sorry about your bfn today!

Bottoms up! Have fun on your trip.

@pretzel2plus1 I'm sure my crazy will start in a few days. I get it.

@marley629 sorry about your bfn

@kay6519 That's adorable. Wish my DH would get excited like that. You are lucky!

@mythril that's crappy news, sorry about being out.

take care of yourself!

@slou24 Send some of those chill vibes my way!

Month/Cycle:2/2

CD/DPO:27/14 or 15

Timing:-3-2-1

Testing Plans:Friday

R/R/CS: I'm not sure anymore what my normal cycle is. Last month my cycle was longer and so far this month it is as well. I think AF was suppose to come yesterday but last month i tested two days after and got a BFN and I don't want to do that again. I still have this cold too it just wont seem to go away.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? For work probably less then 5 mins. I dont wear makeup to work lol but if I am going out could be up to an hour, My hair takes forever to blow out.

furbabymom2007 · January 2016

Question/ chart stalk? I don't know what is going on....

Month/Cycle: 5

CD/DPO: 22/4.... Maybe?

Timing: good if O is correct otherwise who knows

Testing Plans: who knows

R/R/CS:
Ok... So I am thouroghly confused and would appreciate a second look. Possible TMI and a little ranty.

My chart is attached... But here is a timeline of how this cycle has gone...

Cd11: open circle on adv OPK and discarded temp because probably still drunk from New Years Eve
Cd 12-13: violently ill with stomach bug, no temps due to fever
Cd 13: tested with OPK because I was feeling marginally better and got a solid smiley (wtf??)
Cd 14: slightly high temp but I discarded because I wasn't really back to 100% and hadn't eaten in 3 days
Cd 16-18: darkest wondfo OPKs I have ever had and ewcm but open smiley on adv OPK.
Cd 18: FF gives crosshairs and temps and cm seems to agree
CD 22 (today): somewhere between spotting and light af blood this morning and then nothing. I am cramping and it feels like AF. I keep going to the bathroom expecting more but there is nothing.

Sooooo I am not delusional and I doubt the blood this morning is IB. It must be AF. That would mean I actually ovulated around Cd 12-13 (assuming a 10ish day lp). That would coincide with the peak reading but the following temps are not Post O temps.

Seriously... Did I ovulate while hugging the toilet and sleeping on the bathroom floor?? Not cool body.

I know if I wait another day I'll have a clearer idea but I am frustrated that I can not seem to interpret what my body is doing. At this point my goal is to just work on hitting my FW, let alone actually conceive.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning?

Probably 15 minutes... But reality is like 45 because I get distracted, usually by puppy/dog requesting/demanding petting and snuggles.

Congrats @Tennis11785

Month/Cycle: 4/4 ( 9/10 after all is said an done)

CD/DPO: 22/10

Timing: -1,0,+1

Testing Plans: the 21st, but in thinking af may be showing early this month

R/R/CS: had some very very faint spotting Sunday evening, yesterday morning. My temp dipped, then up, but dipped again this morning. Boobs are swollen. I think I'm out and af is heading in early. My nips are sore, which was a symptom wih my last pregnancy so of course the spesull snoeflayk in me is out. But I have to be realistic, feels like af.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning?
I shower, dry and dress. However long it takes depends on how late I want to sleep. I catch a bus into town, so I can't miss it.

Edit to add congrats

Tennis11785 · January 2016

Sorry for all the BFNs
@PrettyPalomino - good luck with the surgery
@ItsMeHere1212 - Fingers crossed for you

** TW BFP **
Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 37/17

Timing: -3, -1, +2

Testing Plans: After my whining last night about not knowing what's going on, I got up this morning and tested...BFP!! I couldn't believe it. I took a second one to make sure it wasn't a faulty test or something.

R/R/CS:

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? It depends if I'm leaving my house or not. If not, I spend very little time doing hair/makeup. If I'm leaving, I have my makeup routine down to <10 minutes. If I'm doing curly hair that's an additional 5-10 minutes. If I'm straightening it, add an hour.

I just wanted to say thank you for all the support on this board and all you've taught me. I wish you all the best.

Marley629 · January 2016

@Tennis11785 congratulations! Wishing you a H&H 9 months!

jhems776 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 22/8

Timing: EOD

Testing Plans: Going to try to hold out till Saturday (12 DPO)

R/R/CS: Meh, kinda low key right now. I am not more optimistic or more pessimistic, just a mix of calm and whatever.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? Depends on the mood lol. If I do the max I for work like 20-30m and the min is like 2m for me to put my hair in a pony tail. I'm minimal with makeup but the big thing I do is darken my eyebrows almost every day. I was blonde till 8-9th grade and then slowly darker till light brown, but my eyebrows never got the memo and are very blonde. In pictures and certain lights I look like I don't have any. They are not thin or sparse, just light.

mamadomino · January 2016

@furbabymom2007 There seems to be a lot of missing info from your chart, as well as lots of open circles for temps. Overall your temps now aren't higher than earlier in your cycle, but again it's really hard to tell based on the information.

@Tennis11785 congrats!

whiska · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/9

CD/DPO: 28/12

Timing: -2, 0

Testing Plans: Stark white bfn this morning. Thanks for the answers to my questions yesterday about when to test! I went back through my notes and found my LP is usually around 13 days (I thought it was 15), so I didn't feel so bad about testing today. Plus, last cycle I got so antsy about it I drove home in the middle of the workday to test! I didn't want to go through that again today just so I could say I waited on af. So now I know.

R/R/CS: Have you ever used clove oil for tooth pain or chewed on a whole clove? It's a natural anesthetic so your gums go kind of numb and tingly, but it's different from novocaine. That's how I feel about ttc anymore. Just numb. If I got a bfp at this point I don't know if I would be capable of actual excitement. I might be happy and grateful, but not excited.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning?
15 seconds to brush my hair. My goal is to get from my bed to work as fast as possible in the mornings. If I do wash it I have to wait for it to air dry a bit and then blow it out because it's naturally wavy (urgh, and not the pretty kind!)

furbabymom2007 · January 2016

@mamadomino
Yeah, the early temps were all over the holidays when I just figured that since AF was here it didn't really matter. But then the stomach bug ruined my temps for a few days after that. I've tried to get decent temps since then though. Ugh, what a pain. Thanks for taking a look!

mamadomino · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 5, 1 after cp

CD/DPO: 22/4

Timing: -4, -1. I'm pretty upset about this.

Testing Plans: probably 10 DPO if not before.

R/R/CS: I'm tired and I don't want to be at work. I suspected I ovulated over the weekend but didn't temp because reasons, and my temp was high this morning so yay!

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? My morning routine typically involves a crabby toddler, so everything takes at least twice as long as it should.

R/R/CS: Waiting to go in for DHs semen analysis this morning. I'll update on how it goes! They said we might get results today, maybe tomorrow.
I'm being impatient, and that's not fair because it's a big day for him and he is nervous. But he is just sitting around this morning, and in no rush. Come onnnnn.... Let's get this over with!!!! (We just have to drop off the sample at any time, and it takes 2 hours for them to read it.)

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning?
30ish minutes. I've had to learn how to cover acne again since my face is still freaking out after birth control.

@Tippy05 I was able to lose a lot of weight, mostly by getting my eating under control with logging my food on myfitnesspal. I don't know if you ever thought about trying it, but I lost 70 lbs in a year and was maybe up 5 for the wedding. Now I'm up another 15, but with the move and the wedding pressure off and the holidays, I've been trying not to stress. I told myself I never wanted to be over 150 again unless I was pregnant, and now that we are post-holiday/TTC I've been hovering around 145-150. I know I'd feel much better in my clothes down another 10-15 again because who knows how long we'll be TTC anyway. But regardless in almost two years I've maintained a 50+lb loss, so it definitely worked for me, and I didn't have to exercise like a maniac, either. Just an idea...

Sending more positive internet vibes to those with BFNs. I, too, hate seeing the stark white spot where a line should be.

Congrats @Tennis11785

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: -4, -1

Testing Plans: Goal was 1/16, but who am I kidding? At this point I will find any excuse to run to Walgreens and pick up a digital HPT.

R/R/CS: So this morning I thought, I need to test now because if I don't and I get AF, I will be super disappointed. At least seeing a BFN will help me prepare. Tonight we're supposed to take DD to a kids' event at Chick-fil-A. I'm thinking I may try to spin this as a girls thing so I can go to Walgreens which is conveniently located on the way home. The only reason I would do this is because I really wanted to do a BFP reveal to DH. Uh, that is, if I get one. BCS y'all. It's a real thing.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? None! I work at home so I basically wake up, put my contacts on, brush my teeth and go to work. If I have to do video meetings, I run to the restroom to check my hair a few mins before.

MonaLisaRalphio · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 31/8

Timing: -2, -1, O

Testing Plans: Maybe Friday if I make it that far. But I won't lie to you. I like. REALLY thought about it this morning.

R/R/CS: I'm in a great mood today, but I'm sure my 6th period students will take care of that for me. Pretty pleased that my temp went back up a little this morning and that AF hasn't shown yet. Still getting the totally-scientific Gut Feeling that I'm not KU this cycle, but I'll be happy to see my LP reach a normal length.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? I am really lucky to have great hair and skin. I spend more time on my hair (between 10 and 20 minutes) because I feel like it makes me look the most put-together, but I don't wear much makeup. I brush on a little bronzer, some eyebrow gel, and mascara in the morning, and that's it. I added a morning moisturizer routine last year because 30s. I actually LOVE a more dramatic look (eyeliner for days!), but I also don't feel super compelled to look hot for a bunch of 14-year-olds.

LizaKate1213 · January 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 34/15 (after adjusting the O date)

Timing: -3, 0

Testing Plans: Tomorrow morning if no AF by then. BFNs on 11, 12 and 13 DPO (except for one faulty FRER that gave a squinter on 12dpo, followed by a clear BFN on a clear blue the next morning)

R/R/CS: This cycle is dragging. I hate not participating in the daily threads and since the limbo thread went haywire I figured I'd suck it up and jump back here until AF arrives. Thanks for having me back! Also, I would have tested again this morning if my temp hadn't finally taken a dip to just above the CL.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? Mostly 10 minutes blowdrying hair. I gave up makeup a few months ago except for a dab of under eye concealer for my dark circles. I used to go all out but DH says he prefers me not to and I actually feel less self conscious now than I did before!

Kay6519 · January 2016

@Tennis11785 Congrats! I hope you and your SO have an awesome H&H9!

MonaLisaRalphio · January 2016

@PrettyPalomino sorry for the BFN. And I hope your surgery goes smoothly!

@pretzel2plus1 omg that was me yesterday with the crazy and the implantation dip SS.

@Marley629 sorry for the BFN. 1/2 looks accurate to me, too. Do you ever record CM? Might help make the distinction. Sometimes FF takes CM more seriously than BBT for me.

@kay6519 that's so cute - it sounds like something my husband would do.

@Mythril ugh I've been there. Hope to see you back here soon.

@MRSCORKER I was just reading up the other day (because of the crazy) and I read that FF only considers it to be an implantation dip if the change is more than .3 degrees. Your dip looks pretty normal, especially considering how far above the CL it is. I don't want to give you false hope, but I did think it was an interesting tidbit that might interest you.

@stephaniebuzzella and @whiska sorry for the BFNs.

@BusinessWife your chart looks a lot like mine and I have NO idea what to make of it. I'm holding out until AF or Friday! You're one DPO ahead of me, though.

@DumbledoresArmy I don't blame you. You've been patient enough.

@furbabymom2007 it's so hard to tell because of the missed/discarded temps, but based on what's there, I'd agree with CD18 because of CM and OPK. You probably already know that 4DPO is too early for IB, but you can spot any time during your cycle, especially when you've been quite ill. What happens if you don't discard that temp on CD14?

@tennis11785 congratulations!!! HH9!

**TW: Loss mentioned**

Yes, I actually read that as well and then got out the calculator to see how much of a dip it was. It's .18 so really nothing to worry about or get hopeful over. I don't know why but I'm feeling all the feelings today. I kinda just want to cry because our timing was great and I irrationally feel like if we don't get a BFP with this kind of timing, all hope is lost. BSC on a whole other level, I know. I got a BFP the first time we tried which ended in a CP. I think after that loss, I naively thought we would get KU again within the next few cycles. We're only 2 cycles TTCAL so there is no reason to be worried or impatient. But, you know, this is what the TWW does to the mind. All the crazy comes out.

Sorry for the second rant, it's slow at work today so I have too much time to think.

Also, congrats @Tennis11785!! H& H 9!

@LINDSEYRVA yeah, full disclosure...totally googled 4 dpo implantation before I came to my senses.

If I don't discard cd 14 then CH go away completely. So naturally I am inclined to discard and I keep talking myself into reasons I can discard it.

As to the spotting... Yeah I know you can spot at any point. It's just not my norm. Yes yes.... You are normal until you aren't and all that jazz. I am just frustrated that we can't seem to even hit the FW.

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 43/17 (according to FF, but I'm not sure anymore)

Timing: Thanks to FF for changing my O day several times, it went from excellent to -5,-4,-3,-1

Testing Plans: Yet another BFN.

R/R/CS: I'm really sad that the Limbo thread went crazy. If anyone saw it, I'm sorry for getting defensive. I hope I can join you all back here until AF shows up. I have no idea what's going on. I had some people suggest that CD30 might have been my O date, which kicks me out for the month. I guess we'll just have to BD EOD and then ED for a while. We were both kind of burnt out after the initial FW that FF gave us.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? I usually shower and do my hair the night before. I am not a morning person at all, so I just wake up, brush my hair, wash my face, brush my teeth, throw on some moisturizer and then that's it. I don't usually wear makeup, because there's no reason to try to impress my students. I'll throw on makeup if I have an important meeting or parent-teacher conferences. That's about it. It can take anywhere from 10-30 minutes. Most days it's just 10 minutes, though.

Month/Cycle: 9 months plus 2 cycles after tx

CD/DPO: 25/10 (or 11) .. Relying on opks and cm (yikes) BC of all the traveling and holiday shenanigans.

Timing: EOD plus o

Testing Plans: waiting on af

R/R/CS: we spent two weeks at the in laws. Since then mil has called my dh every day and moped about 'we didn't have time to do anything fun'. Two. Weeks. We had time... But the grandkids had RSV, not to mention said grandkids parents (bil and sil) wont commit to anything bc they have issues with mil and fil and only do bare minimum visits. and mil and fil pouted the whole time about how if the grandkids couldn't go, we weren't going to whatever activity we had been discussing. Arboretum Lights, ice sculptures ect. And my personal favorite: "Oh well we will go to grannys when the girls can go... Grannyn just really wants to just see the girls"... Wtf... 'The girls' live two hours west of granny... We live thirty two hours west of granny, we are going to see granny with or without all of you. And then ee sat and oistened to granny go on and on about 'the girls' the whole time. Great. We drove thirty hours to get there... And we aren't enough BC we don't have a child...? Great way to ensure we don't come back. I'm still mad about the two weeks there and we aren't even there anymore. Let it go. Sigh. End rant.

GTKY: How much time do you spend on hair/makeup in the morning? I have natural "beach waves" that my husband loves, so all I do is comb my hair and I'm done. No product. Nothing. I generally spend about five to ten minutes on my makeup. I'm infamous for keeping my pearls on with any outfit. I feel like they go with anything and I like to keep it simple. If I'm feeling fancy, to my husbands dismay, I straiten or curl my hair bc I need a change of pace.

Eta congrats @Tennis11785

RatsPJ · January 2016

@Tennis11785 congrats!

***question in r/r/cs***

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 33/12

Timing: Pretty good, assuming the OPKs were accurate

Testing Plans: BFN this morning. Going to test again Thursday unless AF comes before then.

R/R/CS: Had a temp dip this morning, but it's hard to say what that means since I've only been temping for two days with a bbt that actually works. Next cycle I will temp for real, but for the last few days I've realized that the beeping of the bbt freaks out my dog and she spends the whole morning shaking as a result. Anyone know of a bbt that doesn't beep?

GTKY: I've got a pixie so it takes 4 min to do my hair (I've timed it). If I'm not dressing up fancy, it takes maybe 2 min to do makeup. It takes maybe 5 min if I'm trying to be fancy

@LINDSEYRVA Thanks, well that will be cool to see what happens! I know, I think you and me and @superscarf and @MRSCORKER all have super-close cycle timing, so FX for BFP's all around!!! Of course I saw that big dip the other day and was like, "Ah! Now THAT'S an implantation dip!" lol and then I'm like, ya, on the New Moon, too so it's probably just that. I don't know what is more BSC, the actual rainbow unicorn ID?? ...or attributing a temp to the moon? Either way, time will tell if temps stay up or not.... FX

@MRSCORKER it's totally normal to think it to death. It sounds like maybe you've been a little stressed for a couple of days? The second half of the TWW makes me a little batty, so I totally understand.

Want a personalized experience?
