@nwegman7878 - The vet thought it was because he was a rescue and said it should go away. We have only had him for about 3 weeks. I'll try with the more bland food. If it doesn't get better withing a couple more weeks I'll take him back. Something seems to be okay, because he has gained a lot. Maybe he's just eating too much. Since he was accustomed to not eating much. Hmm. Thanks for the advice. We'll see how it works out.
That's very possible. My puppy still over-drinks all the time and makes himself sick, hence why we freeze his water bowl. It forces him to slow down.
Brilliant idea. I might have to try that too. He chokes on the water sometimes. It's kind of adorable, but poor thing.

<span>R/R/CS: Slight dip today, not a big deal, but yesterday I was famished and craving all the carbs... trying not to go crazy on all the foods today if I can help it. <b>If it's <u>Total Twat-Waffle Thursday</u>, then DH is the TW because he has been driving me crazy with the work stress/drama! lol Me no likey.</b>
GTKY: DH and I were living in the same town several years back, so as it happened, I started seeing him around and we had a handful of mutual friends. A musician friend of mine was having a show and asked me if I could get some people to come out and support, so </span><span> I went on another local guy-friend's FB page and there was DH's face as one of this other friends. I'm like, "Oh, I KNOW That Guy!" So I messaged him and asked if he and his buddies had anything to do that night already, or if they wanted to come out to this jazz club. Didn't think much more about it, went to the show, and close to the end of the night, in he walks with a buddy of his! We were sitting together and talking and omg I just had butterflies sitting beside him with. OUR KNEES. TOUCHING. I felt so silly, like does he feel this way too, or am I just being ridiculous? We all went home and whatever, but the next show, I was actually singing, and THIS TIME when he came out... he came. Alone. ;) We shared our first kiss that night in the cab when he dropped me off at home, and the rest is history. I remember teasing him, like, "Wow, I never would have guessed before I got to know you, that you like JAZZ!" and he's like, "Uh, I don't really." lol ;)

one adorable malti-poo fur-baby
***now with a brand-new addition, our second adorable fur-pup***</span></p>
@PennStateCait I'm excited you made an appointment! My acupuncturist said she wanted to see me at the minimum once a week, but twice a week if I wanted to be more aggressive with everything. I've been able to go twice a week this cycle and in turn I ovulated on CD 13 instead of CD 23! Even if I'm not pregnant this cycle, I will continue to go twice a week because I actually love how I feel after each appointment. To me, it's worth it!
@nwegman7878 sorry about the BFN. It's still early, though! Your puppy is soooo cute! I'm glad he's feeling better!
@canonmom413 my DH is a budgeting lunatic! He texted me yesterday to tell me he had calculated everything out and we can move into our next home (and hopefully forever home) in exactly 2 years because we will have enough money to put down the 10% down payment and calculated out the upgrades he wants to do for our current house. I will admit, I do enjoy saving more now that he has taught me some good skills!
@msirni0 OMG I would have had the same reaction if my dog killed a bunny!!! And soooo close to Easter?? How awful!
@leksil FX your temp goes back up. Mine did the same thing yesterday and went right back up today! Bodies are weird! Also, I am obsessed with watching your April siggy!! How cute is that?!
@TheJerilu your analogy for OKCupid made me laugh out loud!!
@slradske0626 my OBGYN recommended Vitamin E for breast tenderness. It helped last month, but right now my boobs are really sore, but still better than if I was not taking the Vitamin E. It might be worth a try!
@teamginger13 I hope your progesterone levels are up!!!
@MamaMunn I'm loving your siggy!! DH is flying to a basketball game this afternoon and will be back tonight. I'm totally taking advantage of his time away and plan to get takeout and binge watch TV until I fall asleep! Enjoy your day off!
@BecauseLove what a cute story!! It's great you knew he was the one from that first trip!
@housewifehobbyist I'm so sorry for your loss. We are here to support you and I hope AF arrives soon so you can move to the next cycle. I'm keeping you in my thoughts!
@BusinessWife as always, your post made me laugh! "OUR KNEES. TOUCHING." LOL!

@TheJerilu FX for you! Also props for having the balls to check your cervix. Vaginas scare me so checking CM is about my limit but I so wish I could check my CP.
@Pennstatecait NO! Sorry, you got me all sorts of feminist-bodypartlove concerned! Nothing is scary about your vagina! It's a happy pillow tunnel that just happens to get cranky roughly once a month. No different than doing a monthly breast self exam, just a bit of an awkward angle. It's just as weird looking as male genitals which are just as weird as any body part when you really look at them (have you seen noses?). I am super into giving body part peptalks. Me and Leslie Knope are in the same boat for this: what's cuterus than your uterus (and all of it's neighbors)?
@PennStateCait, TheJerilu is so right. It's a bit uncomfortable at first but there is nothing wrong and scary about understanding your body. Plus, I totally think if you can handle male genitals, you should be just fine with your own.
@ladystinson Love this GTKY question. I love reading about other peoples love stories. @nwegman7878 I have never heard of feeding dogs eggs to help with their stomachs? Your puppy is soo cute I just cannot stand it! @canonmom413 Yay for saving money! We need to get better with that for sure. @msirni0 OMG! That would be so disturbing. I would have definitely cried, I think your reaction was absolutely justified. @Marley629 Sorry you are feeling down today. This journey is definitely an emotional roller coaster. @AMGreely I love your story! That's awesome that you also choose it as your wedding date. So cute. He will never forget your anniversary. @Becauselove I love that you guys went on a road trip for your first date. You are definitely braver than me.
Month/ Cycle: 8/8
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: Doesn't matter now
Testing: Nope.
R/R/CS: I am feeling much better today, but I woke up to a little bit of spotting and a huge temp drop. Looking on the bright side, I can drink on my upcoming holiday and won't have to worry, but I would much rather have a different outcome. Must not cry. Looking forward to the weekend and enjoying this beautiful weather. We went on a late night walk last night and it felt amazing.
GTYK: We usually tell people that we met through friends, but I was actually dating one of his friends when we met. The guy I was seeing, we had only been hanging out for a couple months, forced me to go to the bar on a Tuesday night, I didn't really want to. He also forced my now husband to be the DD for the night. So they came to pick me up and DH said it was love at first sight lol. It took longer for me. The guy I was seeing was a total jerk, left me sitting at the table while he drank and danced with other girl. DH and I ended up talking and laughing all night and he even offered to drive me home, which I declined cause I was supposed to be with someone else. Long story short things didn't work out between me and the other guy, so DH asked for my number and the rest was history. For some reason no one thought we would last, everyone thought we were too young, but we are now stronger than ever.
@msirni0 oh no the bunny but they were probably so proud
@leksiL Fx for your home inspection! We just went into underwriting and thankfully we got the inspection and WDO. House was infested with live termites all throughout! So it's back the drawing board on that one...
@housewifehobbyist My DH makes fun of my past Spice Girls obsession, I still have all the CD's it's my house cleaning music
Gotta post and run on the rest....still catching up on work from taking off for the honeymoon
Month/cycle: 8/6
CD/DPO:35/21 (? possible late O)
Timing: 0, +2, +3
Testing: bfn 3/28 trying to hold off past CD 40 so AF doesnt sneak up on me
R/R/CS: These irregular cycles drive me insane....maybe someone can *chart stalk*? Last 2 cycles were 27 days and 37 days. So it's possible AF is waiting to surprise me. Having my normal pre-AF migraines and I'm sure the house falling through hasn't helped. Had some (tmi warning) light spotting 3/23 that only showed with a wipe but only showed up once or twice...some weird clear CM with bright red stringy stuff in it on 3/27.... Still trying to get myself on a stable sleep schedule, i feel like if I had temps recorded this would be so much easier to decode. I'm not getting my hopes up as I've had super long cycles before. Hoping I didn't skip AF altogether this month. I'll give it another week or 2 of testing and force myself back over to WTO
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet? We worked together at a country club. We didn't care for each other since I came in and took his bartending position. But started hanging out and once he hit friend zone he had it lol. We've been together 7 years now and somehow have ended up working 3 jobs together, including our current jobs!
*edited- to include honeymoon pic to lighten the mood, our view from Blue Ridge Mtn, GA.
@msirni0 im a Bunny momma, so this is super sad for me too! A friend of mine had a similar experience except, her dogs brought it inside as an "offering to their master" ::blech::
@PepperAT Im so sorry girl. Stay strong. Good for you for finding something to look foward to. Enjoy the nicer weather and breathe!
@BusinessWife Men just dont get it sometimes! Sorry DH is bringing stress home! Not cool. Not cool, at all.
R/R/CS: My CH's will probably get moved as I add more temperatures, but that might improve my timing. Either way I'm starting testing in the middle of next week, because I have wondfos for the first time! Might as well use them!
@beary67 thank You. We are actually just going to NY. Husband's family lives there. Goin to spend week in NYC and a wedding there next weekend. Should be a good time.
@beary67 We're going for 10 days. I actually used to live there, so super excited to show DH around. We're staying in a cottage with my parents for a few days (they go every year) and my mom was discussing sleeping arrangements. In the same call, she sheepishly asked whether we thinking of having children soon (we don't talk about TTC). I told her "we were working on it" and she replied "well then you guys DEFINITELY get your own room!" This is the first time I've ever been heading to Ireland and hoping I can't drink in the pubs...
R/R/CS: I had high hopes this month- I thought I O'd on CD15 (according to FF Advanced), had good timing, tried preseed, HIO when I had high/peak OPK, but then temp did not shift until after CD22. I had "low" OPK on CD 18 so I didn't bother to continue using the OPKs. My temp dipped but came back up today, but I've had 3 BFNs including today and I usually get sore breasts a few days before AF but I haven't had any soreness yet. So I'm thinking I'm only 8DPO. For now I've changed my detector from Advanced to FAM. I've only been charting 3 months but all 3 months O day has been different (CD 13, CD18, now possibly CD22). Normally my cycles are between 27-31 days. Thanks for reading my rant, I'm just frustrated with my body.
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet? We met at a bar lol. We had a few mutual friends then we became good friends for a couple years then eventually we started dating.
@housewifehobbyist I know I am still new around here, but just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss. FX you don't have to wait too long to jump back into things.
Also, love that you guys met at a spice girls concert!
@housewifehobbyist So sorry for your loss and to see you back here, but I'm glad you are ready to join back in and we will be here for you on the tough days.
@kirby1220 oh my gosh a cottage in Ireland sounds like a dream!!! YAY for getting your own room!

CD/DPO: FF says its CD 24 and 13 dpo but I don't think its correct. My temps have been way wonky all month.
Timing: not sure...every few days around expected ovulation time, but can't be certain.
Testing: No testing this month. I just don't think its happening this month.
R/R/CS: I had a headache all morning and just realized that I forgot my coffee...doh! DH usually makes it in the morning but he had to leave for a work audit at like 4:30 am.
GTKY: How did you and DH/SO meet? A mutual friend introduced us. I brought her with me to Alaska one summer when I worked at a fishery, and she used to write everyone at home letters (this was pre iphone era, and there wasn't internet because we lived in tents for the summer). Every time she wrote him a letter she would say I had to meet him when we went back home. Eventually we met...and we stayed up all night going through his music albums. It was cute.

R/R/CS: I'm pretty sure I'm out this cycle so I'm going to stock up on the booze and chocolate
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet? Hah. He added me on myspace (back when this was still around and popular) and starting chatting me up. I thought he was his brother because I went to school with his brother. D admits later he added me thinking I was a different person. We hung out a few times and here we are seven years later

Testing: 12DPO but I'll probably cave around 9DPO. I bought Wondfo's for the first time and am ridiculously excited to use them.
R/R/CS: I have to have all of my data entered by 5pm for a federal review and so far, I've made coffee and have read through Bump. Off to a great start!
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet? I had just graduated high school and my boyfriend at the time brought DH to a party and we had a strong connection right away. My boyfriend and I had split up before I left for college and I ran in to DH my first day on campus. He wanted to get serious right away and I wanted to date cute hockey players and firefighters, but he never gave up and we're still going strong 13 years later.
Testing: AF did NOT arrive like clockwork Tuesday. Very unusual. Tested Tuesday, BFN, then had to go away overnight and all day yesterday. AF still hasn't arrived and I was going to test today, but I had an OB/GYN appt this morning to go over my CD21 results, and I did not ovulate. So I guess no need to test again, but odd that AF hasn't come yet - obviously not delayed by ovulation, so what's the deal?
R/R/CS: I'm frustrated but ultimately relieved to have my concerns validated. I've been charting BBT faithfully since the beginning of January and have had no clear temp shift, and feel like there's nothing to see with CM. So at least I know now that I'm not just wasting time. Doc prescribed Letrozole to start CD3 whenever AF finally shows so we'll see how that goes.
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet? So cliched, but online. I had just come out of a long-distance relationship and was SO READY to date someone who lived in the same goddamn country. I was chatting with 4-5 guys on a dating site, but there was slim pickings in my small town so I had expanded my search to the next bigger city. Problem with city guys? None of them had cars. And I refused to date someone 45 minutes away who couldn't drive to come see me. DH included. He was 'between cars' but I think I made it clear that the no car thing was a deal-breaker and he had a car within two weeks. Told me then that he had been planning on getting a new one anyway but has admitted since that I definitely swayed his decision.

HEY ladies!! Sorry I was MIA yesterday...I had the craziest 12h shift ever and when I got home I just went to yoga and went to bed...didn't even check the boards! Also...haven't gotten the memo about the siggy yet....going to change it now!
Month/cycle: 2/3
CD/DPO: 23/7
Timing: -1
Testing: Who knows...I crazily took one yesterday...(6dpo? really??)...obviously a BFN. Not sure what I was expecting LOL
R/R/CS: Nothing really interesting to say. I've been more relaxed about TTC since O day...probably because I'm relieved that I actually DO O...and also the semester is coming to a close and I'm heading into my final practicums...and I'm really excited about my placements and future career goals. Also...can someone else please appreciate this perfect downward curve....
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet?
I love this!! Ok long story..when I was around 14 or so I was part of a youth group at the church. We had a concert night and a ministry group from the city was there...I officially met DH there....as I was running around being an obnoxious teenager...we hung out a few times. Lost contact...fast forward a few years when I was 17..and I actually met him on POF...(WHY in the Lords name I was on POF at 17 is beyond me...if only I knew what I know now...)...and after talking for awhile we realized we knew each other from the youth group. He lived about 10 hours north of me...ended up coming down and staying with me...started dating....had a long distance relationship for a year....he moved down here...engaged at 19 (me)...married at 20 (me)....soon to be celebrating our 5 year anniversary.
@nwegman7878 You made your dog eggs....that's the cutest thing lol. Whenever I feed my dog any people food lately he pukes all over the place...eek.
@msirni0 OK...once I thought my dog was playing with a toy...turns out he murdered an entire litter of baby rabbits and they were strewn around my backyard. It was traumatizing
@MommyForTheFirstTime I hear you on the budgeting. I made one but never stick to it. It's so bad....my DH also has a fast food addiction...I find fast food bags in the trunk all the time. But I can't complain....DH lets me spend $349498549849 per month on a hot yoga membership....

@msirni0 Oh noooooooo.... I would have reacted the same way as you did, hormones or not. One time I was driving through a long laneway and observed a baby bunny hopping across the lawn and was all 'yay, baby bunny!'... until I realized that it was running from the giant predatory bird that swooped down at it and (I'm assuming) murdered it. I was TRAUMATIZED.
Me: 32 DH: 33 Married: October 2015 TTC #1: October 2015 EDD #1: June/July 2017
@NurseMarie9 That is one crazy chart. It does look like CD22 is your best option though bc of the temp shift. Any other factors at play? Illness, waking at different times, anything? Sorry for the dotted lines.
@Sheshae Yes, please, bring all the booze and chocolate!!!
@MelissaM90 Good luck and fx for AF? I don't think I have ever said that before on this site, but maybe it is best to reset and start a new? Either way, GL!
Month/cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 21/9
Timing: -4, -2, -1, O, +1
Testing: BFN this morning (still early though??)
R/R/CS: Three things: 1. I can't for the life of me remember how to pin my chart in my siggy and it's annoying me that I haven't had 5 minutes to find the answer. Work is crazy today. 2. My FF membership expires in 2 more days. I don't want to pay for anymore time right now if I won't need it for awhile (fx). 3. **Prevoius BFP mentioned** 9dpo is when I got a clear bfp with DS and I was super bummed this morning starring at that stark white test strip. I know it's early and all, but ugh. I got my hopes up too high for a first time back at it moment.
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet?
We met a few times before, but I knew he was someone I wanted to be around for realz after this. We officially met during a hurricane. We were working at the same retail store and were stuck there during the storm. The power went out and everyone was freaked out trying to find batteries and flashlights. Well, about 15 minutes later the power came back on and blasting from nearly every speaker in the store was the hair band hit "Rock you like a Hurricane" by the Scorpions. I laughed so hard, and knew I had to find whoever set it up. The rest is history.
Testing: was going to test tomorrow but I think I'm going to try to wait until AF
R/R/CS: I was feeling optimistic this time but I'm sad today because I think I'm getting my reg PMS symptoms (sore boobs, monthly 1 pimple). I knew I was getting my hopes up too much this cycle.
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet? We met at the bar when we were 23. Not very romantic.

@nwegman7878 My lab has a sensitive stomach and it took us
awhile to figure out how to handle it. Eventually, we settled on a potato and
fish kibble and we have a bowl that is designed to make him drink slower. I’m
glad eggs were able to help!
@msirni0 I would be traumatized as well! I think your
response is legit. A few years ago, my dog jumped and caught a bird, then swallowed
it whole. I’m still not over it.
@canonmom413 That’s definitely something to be proud of! My
husband created a budget last year which has been helpful- we haven’t really
saved a lot but it has helped us identify where all of our money goes (eating
out). His passion for budgeting is driving me crazy though- he has spreadsheets
and pivot tables and any time he says “pivot” I giggle and think about the
Friends episode. He doesn’t get it.
@ladystinson I love that your DH was feeding in to the BSC.
This was my first cycle using Wondfo’s OPK strips and I ended up texting
pictures of the strips and asking if he thought the second line was blue
enough.
@mrsdee15 Sorry about the expected BFN, but high five to
airport drinking.
@BuisnessWife The
butterflies were the best! I’d get them from the silliest things. I love that
he came to see you sing!
@PepperAT We also tell people we met through friends! It
just feels awkward to say “well, I was dating one of his best friends…” I’m
glad you were able to find a bright side and will have a chance to have a
alcohol, worry-free vacation.
@Winnie81 Did you love Alaska? Hopefully you were in
Southeast Alaska, which is beautiful.
@vintageandrea90 The end of the semester is always a relief.
I’m glad you were able to get placements you like! I had two practicum placements
and they were awful, but helped me get my position at work which made it worth
it in the end.

GTKY:
DH and I were living in the same town several years back, so as it
happened, I started seeing him around and we had a handful of mutual
friends. A musician friend
of mine was having a show and asked me if I could get some people to
come out and support, so </span><span> I went on another local guy-friend's FB page and there was DH's face as one of this other
friends. I'm like, "Oh, I KNOW That Guy!" So I messaged him and asked
if he and his buddies had anything to do that night already, or if they
wanted to come out to this jazz club. Didn't think much more about it,
went to the show, and close to the end of the night, in he walks with a
buddy of his! We were sitting together and talking and omg I just had
butterflies sitting beside him with. OUR KNEES. TOUCHING. I felt so
silly, like does he feel this way too, or am I just being ridiculous?
We all went home and whatever, but the next show, I was actually
singing, and THIS TIME when he came out... he came. Alone. ;) We shared
our first kiss that night in the cab when he dropped me off at home,
and the rest is history. I remember teasing him, like, "Wow, I never
would have guessed before I got to know you, that you like JAZZ!" and
he's like, "Uh, I don't really." lol ;)

April TTGP Siggies: Cute Baby Animals
@PennStateCait I'm excited you made an appointment! My acupuncturist said she wanted to see me at the minimum once a week, but twice a week if I wanted to be more aggressive with everything. I've been able to go twice a week this cycle and in turn I ovulated on CD 13 instead of CD 23! Even if I'm not pregnant this cycle, I will continue to go twice a week because I actually love how I feel after each appointment. To me, it's worth it!
@nwegman7878 sorry about the BFN. It's still early, though! Your puppy is soooo cute! I'm glad he's feeling better!
@canonmom413 my DH is a budgeting lunatic! He texted me yesterday to tell me he had calculated everything out and we can move into our next home (and hopefully forever home) in exactly 2 years because we will have enough money to put down the 10% down payment and calculated out the upgrades he wants to do for our current house. I will admit, I do enjoy saving more now that he has taught me some good skills!
@msirni0 OMG I would have had the same reaction if my dog killed a bunny!!! And soooo close to Easter?? How awful!
@leksil FX your temp goes back up. Mine did the same thing yesterday and went right back up today! Bodies are weird! Also, I am obsessed with watching your April siggy!! How cute is that?!
@TheJerilu your analogy for OKCupid made me laugh out loud!!
@MommyForTheFirstTime *hugs* I'm sorry you have so much going on right now!
@slradske0626 my OBGYN recommended Vitamin E for breast tenderness. It helped last month, but right now my boobs are really sore, but still better than if I was not taking the Vitamin E. It might be worth a try!
@teamginger13 I hope your progesterone levels are up!!!
@marley629 FX for testing tomorrow!
@mrsdee15 cute story!!!
@KarliQ88 I hope you get some answers before your vacation!! Hopefully you are going someplace warm/sunny??
@AMGreely how cute that you got married on St. Patty's Day!!!
@Kirby1220 soooo jealous you are going to Ireland! How long will you be there? Going to Ireland is totally on my bucket list!
@HurricaneAmelia so sorry. *hugs*
@MamaMunn I'm loving your siggy!! DH is flying to a basketball game this afternoon and will be back tonight. I'm totally taking advantage of his time away and plan to get takeout and binge watch TV until I fall asleep! Enjoy your day off!
@BecauseLove what a cute story!! It's great you knew he was the one from that first trip!
@housewifehobbyist I'm so sorry for your loss. We are here to support you and I hope AF arrives soon so you can move to the next cycle. I'm keeping you in my thoughts!

TheJerilu is so right. It's a bit uncomfortable at first but there is nothing wrong and scary about understanding your body. Plus, I totally think if you can handle male genitals, you should be just fine with your own.
Previously nweg...7878
@nwegman7878 I have never heard of feeding dogs eggs to help with their stomachs? Your puppy is soo cute I just cannot stand it!
@canonmom413 Yay for saving money! We need to get better with that for sure.
@msirni0 OMG! That would be so disturbing. I would have definitely cried, I think your reaction was absolutely justified.
@Marley629 Sorry you are feeling down today. This journey is definitely an emotional roller coaster.
@AMGreely I love your story! That's awesome that you also choose it as your wedding date. So cute. He will never forget your anniversary.
@Becauselove I love that you guys went on a road trip for your first date. You are definitely braver than me.
Month/ Cycle: 8/8
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: Doesn't matter now
Testing: Nope.
R/R/CS: I am feeling much better today, but I woke up to a little bit of spotting and a huge temp drop. Looking on the bright side, I can drink on my upcoming holiday and won't have to worry, but I would much rather have a different outcome. Must not cry.
Looking forward to the weekend and enjoying this beautiful weather. We went on a late night walk last night and it felt amazing.
GTYK: We usually tell people that we met through friends, but I was actually dating one of his friends when we met. The guy I was seeing, we had only been hanging out for a couple months, forced me to go to the bar on a Tuesday night, I didn't really want to. He also forced my now husband to be the DD for the night. So they came to pick me up and DH said it was love at first sight lol. It took longer for me. The guy I was seeing was a total jerk, left me sitting at the table while he drank and danced with other girl. DH and I ended up talking and laughing all night and he even offered to drive me home, which I declined cause I was supposed to be with someone else. Long story short things didn't work out between me and the other guy, so DH asked for my number and the rest was history. For some reason no one thought we would last, everyone thought we were too young, but we are now stronger than ever.

@leksiL Fx for your home inspection! We just went into underwriting and thankfully we got the inspection and WDO. House was infested with live termites all throughout! So it's back the drawing board on that one...
@housewifehobbyist My DH makes fun of my past Spice Girls obsession, I still have all the CD's it's my house cleaning music
Gotta post and run on the rest....still catching up on work from taking off for the honeymoon
Month/cycle: 8/6
CD/DPO:35/21 (? possible late O)
Timing: 0, +2, +3
Testing: bfn 3/28
trying to hold off past CD 40 so AF doesnt sneak up on me
R/R/CS: These irregular cycles drive me insane....maybe someone can *chart stalk*?
Last 2 cycles were 27 days and 37 days. So it's possible AF is waiting to surprise me. Having my normal pre-AF migraines and I'm sure the house falling through hasn't helped. Had some (tmi warning) light spotting 3/23 that only showed with a wipe but only showed up once or twice...some weird clear CM with bright red stringy stuff in it on 3/27....
Still trying to get myself on a stable sleep schedule, i feel like if I had temps recorded this would be so much easier to decode.
I'm not getting my hopes up as I've had super long cycles before. Hoping I didn't skip AF altogether this month. I'll give it another week or 2 of testing and force myself back over to WTO
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet?
We worked together at a country club. We didn't care for each other since I came in and took his bartending position. But started hanging out and once he hit friend zone he had it lol. We've been together 7 years now and somehow have ended up working 3 jobs together, including our current jobs!
*edited- to include honeymoon pic to lighten the mood, our view from Blue Ridge Mtn, GA.

@PepperAT Im so sorry girl. Stay strong. Good for you for finding something to look foward to. Enjoy the nicer weather and breathe!

CD/DPO: 30/?? 15 or 8
Timing: -4, -3, -2, 0, +1 or just -3
Testing: Done testing, waiting for AF to show
R/R/CS: I had high hopes this month- I thought I O'd on CD15 (according to FF Advanced), had good timing, tried preseed, HIO when I had high/peak OPK, but then temp did not shift until after CD22. I had "low" OPK on CD 18 so I didn't bother to continue using the OPKs. My temp dipped but came back up today, but I've had 3 BFNs including today and I usually get sore breasts a few days before AF but I haven't had any soreness yet. So I'm thinking I'm only 8DPO. For now I've changed my detector from Advanced to FAM. I've only been charting 3 months but all 3 months O day has been different (CD 13, CD18, now possibly CD22). Normally my cycles are between 27-31 days. Thanks for reading my rant, I'm just frustrated with my body.
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet? We met at a bar lol. We had a few mutual friends then we became good friends for a couple years then eventually we started dating.
Also, love that you guys met at a spice girls concert!

CD/DPO: FF says its CD 24 and 13 dpo but I don't think its correct. My temps have been way wonky all month.
Timing: not sure...every few days around expected ovulation time, but can't be certain.
Testing: No testing this month. I just don't think its happening this month.
R/R/CS: I had a headache all morning and just realized that I forgot my coffee...doh! DH usually makes it in the morning but he had to leave for a work audit at like 4:30 am.
GTKY: How did you and DH/SO meet? A mutual friend introduced us. I brought her with me to Alaska one summer when I worked at a fishery, and she used to write everyone at home letters (this was pre iphone era, and there wasn't internet because we lived in tents for the summer). Every time she wrote him a letter she would say I had to meet him when we went back home. Eventually we met...and we stayed up all night going through his music albums. It was cute.

Hah. He added me on myspace (back when this was still around and popular) and starting chatting me up. I thought he was his brother because I went to school with his brother. D admits later he added me thinking I was a different person. We hung out a few times and here we are seven years later

R/R/CS: I have to have all of my data entered by 5pm for a federal review and so far, I've made coffee and have read through Bump. Off to a great start!
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet? I had just graduated high school and my boyfriend at the time brought DH to a party and we had a strong connection right away. My boyfriend and I had split up before I left for college and I ran in to DH my first day on campus. He wanted to get serious right away and I wanted to date cute hockey players and firefighters, but he never gave up and we're still going strong 13 years later.
Oh no, @housewifehobbyist! I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Creepy internet hugs to you!
Please be kind to yourself.
CD/DPO: CD31
Timing: CD12, CD13, CD15
Testing: AF did NOT arrive like clockwork Tuesday. Very unusual. Tested Tuesday, BFN, then had to go away overnight and all day yesterday. AF still hasn't arrived and I was going to test today, but I had an OB/GYN appt this morning to go over my CD21 results, and I did not ovulate. So I guess no need to test again, but odd that AF hasn't come yet - obviously not delayed by ovulation, so what's the deal?
R/R/CS: I'm frustrated but ultimately relieved to have my concerns validated. I've been charting BBT faithfully since the beginning of January and have had no clear temp shift, and feel like there's nothing to see with CM. So at least I know now that I'm not just wasting time. Doc prescribed Letrozole to start CD3 whenever AF finally shows so we'll see how that goes.
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet? So cliched, but online. I had just come out of a long-distance relationship and was SO READY to date someone who lived in the same goddamn country. I was chatting with 4-5 guys on a dating site, but there was slim pickings in my small town so I had expanded my search to the next bigger city. Problem with city guys? None of them had cars. And I refused to date someone 45 minutes away who couldn't drive to come see me. DH included. He was 'between cars' but I think I made it clear that the no car thing was a deal-breaker and he had a car within two weeks. Told me then that he had been planning on getting a new one anyway but has admitted since that I definitely swayed his decision.

R/R/CS: Nothing really interesting to say. I've been more relaxed about TTC since O day...probably because I'm relieved that I actually DO O...and also the semester is coming to a close and I'm heading into my final practicums...and I'm really excited about my placements and future career goals.

GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet?
I love this!! Ok long story..when I was around 14 or so I was part of a youth group at the church. We had a concert night and a ministry group from the city was there...I officially met DH there....as I was running around being an obnoxious teenager...we hung out a few times. Lost contact...fast forward a few years when I was 17..and I actually met him on POF...(WHY in the Lords name I was on POF at 17 is beyond me...if only I knew what I know now...)...and after talking for awhile we realized we knew each other from the youth group. He lived about 10 hours north of me...ended up coming down and staying with me...started dating....had a long distance relationship for a year....he moved down here...engaged at 19 (me)...married at 20 (me)....soon to be celebrating our 5 year anniversary.
@PennStateCait Sorry for the BFN
@nwegman7878 You made your dog eggs....that's the cutest thing lol. Whenever I feed my dog any people food lately he pukes all over the place...eek.
@msirni0 OK...once I thought my dog was playing with a toy...turns out he murdered an entire litter of baby rabbits and they were strewn around my backyard. It was traumatizing
@MommyForTheFirstTime I hear you on the budgeting. I made one but never stick to it. It's so bad....my DH also has a fast food addiction...I find fast food bags in the trunk all the time. But I can't complain....DH lets me spend $349498549849 per month on a hot yoga membership....
@slradske0626 I get really really bad stabbing ovulation pains..to the point where i need to take an advil and lie down

@PennStateCait All of my fingers are crossed for you!
@Jerilu I love your "how we met" story!!!
@NurseMarie9 That is one crazy chart. It does look like CD22 is your best option though bc of the temp shift. Any other factors at play? Illness, waking at different times, anything? Sorry for the dotted lines.
@Sheshae Yes, please, bring all the booze and chocolate!!!
@housewifehobbyist so sorry for your loss.
@MelissaM90 Good luck and fx for AF? I don't think I have ever said that before on this site, but maybe it is best to reset and start a new? Either way, GL!

Testing: BFN this morning (still early though??)
R/R/CS: Three things: 1. I can't for the life of me remember how to pin my chart in my siggy and it's annoying me that I haven't had 5 minutes to find the answer. Work is crazy today. 2. My FF membership expires in 2 more days. I don't want to pay for anymore time right now if I won't need it for awhile (fx). 3. **Prevoius BFP mentioned** 9dpo is when I got a clear bfp with DS and I was super bummed this morning starring at that stark white test strip. I know it's early and all, but ugh. I got my hopes up too high for a first time back at it moment.
GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet?
We met a few times before, but I knew he was someone I wanted to be around for realz after this. We officially met during a hurricane. We were working at the same retail store and were stuck there during the storm. The power went out and everyone was freaked out trying to find batteries and flashlights. Well, about 15 minutes later the power came back on and blasting from nearly every speaker in the store was the hair band hit "Rock you like a Hurricane" by the Scorpions. I laughed so hard, and knew I had to find whoever set it up. The rest is history.

GTKY: (Stolen from WTO, unless someone can help me come up with a better one before we get rolling) How did you and DH/SO meet? We met at the bar when we were 23. Not very romantic.

@housewifehobbyist I’m so sorry for your loss. FX for ovulation soon.
Sorry to all with BFN’s
@nwegman7878 My lab has a sensitive stomach and it took us awhile to figure out how to handle it. Eventually, we settled on a potato and fish kibble and we have a bowl that is designed to make him drink slower. I’m glad eggs were able to help!
@msirni0 I would be traumatized as well! I think your response is legit. A few years ago, my dog jumped and caught a bird, then swallowed it whole. I’m still not over it.
@canonmom413 That’s definitely something to be proud of! My husband created a budget last year which has been helpful- we haven’t really saved a lot but it has helped us identify where all of our money goes (eating out). His passion for budgeting is driving me crazy though- he has spreadsheets and pivot tables and any time he says “pivot” I giggle and think about the Friends episode. He doesn’t get it.
@ladystinson I love that your DH was feeding in to the BSC. This was my first cycle using Wondfo’s OPK strips and I ended up texting pictures of the strips and asking if he thought the second line was blue enough.
@mrsdee15 Sorry about the expected BFN, but high five to airport drinking.
@BuisnessWife The butterflies were the best! I’d get them from the silliest things. I love that he came to see you sing!
@PepperAT We also tell people we met through friends! It just feels awkward to say “well, I was dating one of his best friends…” I’m glad you were able to find a bright side and will have a chance to have a alcohol, worry-free vacation.
@Winnie81 Did you love Alaska? Hopefully you were in Southeast Alaska, which is beautiful.
@vintageandrea90 The end of the semester is always a relief. I’m glad you were able to get placements you like! I had two practicum placements and they were awful, but helped me get my position at work which made it worth it in the end.
@Megs7911 Love your GTKY!
