It was 60 degrees last Sunday - rare for my area this time of year. Instead of enjoying the weather, I binge-watched the entire series of Fuller House.

I've been guilty of doing this and I'm always mad at myself once the sun goes down. Sometimes the couch and vegging in front of the tv just sounds better!
My FFFC - I began lurking other boards on TB the last few weeks and man I wish I hadn't. This place is a black hole!
I haven't been able to find gummy PNVs in stores here so I'm stuck with 2 giant pills each day. Some days I just don't want to swallow huge pills so I take DH's gummy multivitamins instead.
I forgot the restock the plastic disposable pee cups in my bathroom so I tried to use the wondfo wrapper... I made a mess.
The next day I still forgot to stock the cups, so I used the cap to a hairspray bottle. Which I then promptly threw away.
I've had to test at work this week since the RE told me to test 11-1. First 2 days I used the Wondfo wrapper like a pro. The next day pee went everywhere but in the wrapper. Yesterday and today I wore bulky sweaters so I could hide a pee cup in it

Yeah it was a disaster when I tried it. At least I was at home. I have managed to get enough drops from a "pee on the stick" OPK test to also use a wondfo. It was entertaining but probably a little gross. Glad DH didn't walk into the bathroom to see me soaking up every tiny little drop of pee on CB OPK with a wondfo strip.
@furbabymom2007 join the revolution and pee directly on the stick!
No offense to @furbabymom2007 here because there's no way I could pee in the packet either, but I feel like if you can't pull that off, you probably can't pee on that tiny stick without going above the max line!

@MrsDho11 Nuh uh. It is way easier for me to pee on the stick without going over the line than for me to pee in a cup (although I have gotten better - I do pee in a cup for HPTs) let alone a tiny little packet. The key is to get a good steady stream going first then dip the stick into the stream.

Same here, just this morning. It's going to be a messy road TTC...
I got my eyebrows waxed for the first time yesterday (which is embarrassing in itself) and now I'm at work in touque pulled down super low to cover the redness/puffiness/soreness.
I have never waxed anything in my life and I don't intend to. Well, maybe if I started growing serious facial hair but I would probably opt for laser hair removal or something instead. I guess I have a low voluntary pain threshold.
I haven't even O'ed yet, and I'm allowing myself to get my hopes up for this cycle and being able to tell my mom when I visit in a few weeks. WHY?!
Also, I am totally icing right due to sex-related injury. Like an old person.
I hear ya, lady! my bff comes in 3 weeks and if timing works out like it has in the past (big if) i will be testing the day she comes so that if its a bfn i will still be happy...but im majorly fighting the urge to plan how to tell her!

I started my business Facebook page last week. Mostly just friends have liked it so far. But, there have been a couple of strangers who liked my page yesterday and today. I totally hardcore Facebook stalk all of them. I literally just spent 45 minutes creeping on a couple random people's Facebook pages.

@mrsstuessy I totally do the same thing with my new-ish business page! Have like 5 likes that are from strangers...and I get a little upset when their profile is mostly hidden.
@MrsDho11@furbabymom2007@SchumeratorOne time, I peed so violently with my FMU I broke the pregnancy test. I didn't know that was possible until I did it, but it is.
@MrsDho11@furbabymom2007@SchumeratorOne time, I peed so violently with my FMU I broke the pregnancy test. I didn't know that was possible until I did it, but it is.
@mrstuessy I had a business page that I've tried to delete and can't. I've posted on there that it's no longer a running business and people keep liking it. I posted basically asking "why do you like this page? I'm not training anymore?" no response, still get a random like about once a week. Like, what. I never even really got it off the ground so it's not like I made a name for myself and now people are looking for me. Are there people out there that just go around liking random business pages?
Pee mess discussion: I've tried peeing on the stick and it didn't work for some reason. Can't remember why. I think I got an invalid test. Must've gone above the max line. Also, I've discovered I pee crooked to the left, and my cervix is off to the left as well.
At work, I almost always fart in the med room and pray no one walks in on me
ETA: forgot my gif
This totally reminds me of me in a way. I teach preschool age and with my high protein diet can get pretty bad "silent but deadly" gas. I will just let it go and blame it on the kids.

I kind of side-eye the decision to not temp or use OPKs because your SO doesn't want you to. This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but it seems like this comes up a lot. I can understand that some guys would just prefer to have lots of fun having sex and not worry about anything...I mean, who wouldn't? So I can understand maybe not wanting to know the details. But to tell someone not to take their own temperature? Just... why?

On the subject of business pages: How did you go about getting friends to like your page? I know there is an initial invite that you can bulk send to them, but I have read online that it does not always send an invite to them, even though it says it has. I always feel weird asking them personally to like my page, because maybe they did receive the invite but just don't want to like it.

I think the exact same thing. It's not a mutual decision. One of my biggest fears (although a bit irrationally big) when I went off bc was not knowing when I'd get my period. I was ridiculously self conscious about it as a teenager pre-bc and it was definitely still there. Temping was also a way for me to be calm about that. I fully intend to temp even when not ttc. Such a useful tool to just know your body. To me it's just not the decision of the husband. I wouldn't lie about it or hide it. But it's just not a discussion to really have for me

@Winnie81 you can invite specific friends to like your page but there is no way to tell if you have already invited them or not. At least not that I can find. Sometimes I share out my business page posts and that gets a few more friends to notice and like.

I can track who I invited on my page. It shows the status whether they have liked it or been invited, but you can't reinvite them after the initial invite was given. I'm currently working on getting more engagement on my posts so that they are more visible. FB has some strange algorithms when it comes to you business page.

@mtvkv5 also, if you go to your business page, go to the top right tab that says 'promote' in blue and scroll down to where it says 'invite your friends'. That will show you who you have invited and whether they accepted or not.

I just invited a whole bunch of my friends to like my page. Lots of them did like it. And then I posted on my personal page the link to my page and have posted a couple other things about my business on my personal page. I try not to go crazy though, because that can be annoying. But, if the invite didn't go through at least they have a chance to see it on my page. And then I just hope for the best. I'm not going to be sending individual messages or anything to people to get them to like my page. I put it up last Thursday night and I have 42 likes. So, I am ok with that for now.

Confession: I'm going on a family trip tomorrow with parents and aunt/uncle, and months ago DH and I said we would be fine sleeping on the pull out couch in the living room to save money. I didn't think we'd be trying at this time, but we are, and now I'm distressed and regret it because zero privacy and I'm waiting to O but I also confess to be getting it on with the parents and aunt/uncle in their respective bedrooms a few feet away. They should be happy, right?

Totally 100% agree with this. I actually just ranted to DH about it. Like, I didn't ask him if I could take my temperature every morning. That is not something he has any say about. I can understand some partners not wanting to hear about it all the time because maybe that would be to much stress for them. But, for a man to demand his partner not to is just bizarre. And we would have some major issues if DH even thought for a second that he could do that. I mean, do you also ask permission to take vitamins or buy pregnancy tests? It is just weird.

Good idea, I'm only doing 2-3 so I should bump it up. Yeah I don't want to be spammy with my friends/family, I just know its beneficial for visibility when they like it because it will show their friends that as well. A lot of my clients for photography have come from word of mouth.
