    WAYDTGKU: the usual

    R/R/CS: so this weekend H was sick, I originally thought O was Friday but most likely was yesterday.  That makes our timing much worse.  I'm annoyed and there's nothing I can do. Blah

    GTKY: Have you ever had a paranormal/supernatural/other worldly experience? 

    Not that I know of!

    WAYDTGKU: Finally starting temping this morning.

    R/R/CS: Still have about a week until anything exciting happens as far as TTC goes. In other news, we are going to look at a house tonight so I'm looking forward to that!

    GTKY: Have you ever had a paranormal/supernatural/other worldly experience? Nope. We have visited a few supposedly haunted buildings/locations but nothing interesting has happened to me personally.

  • @sarah0985 Ouch, sorry you're hurting. I had some issues with my back last summer and had to go to a sports therapist as well. He basically beat me up twice a week for three weeks, but it totally worked. Hope you get some relief soon!

  • @AliciaGoose the reason you got the positive on cd 15 is you need to start those early on because it takes a baseline. If you start late you'll get a solid smiley right away/soon after. (At least that's my experience with the advanced ones with the flashy then solid smileys).  Lost a whole month that way in the beginning of TTC! Good luck!

    @leekat14 i hate months of missing window because of being sick - so infuriating! Hopefully you got a good chance in!

    @marley629 put an alarm in your phone now for right when you know you'll be ready to leave!!! Then you won't forget!!

    Good luck to all the ladies with ultrasounds and hubs with SA I wish good luck in them all
  • @lecool thanks for that reassurance it's worth it!!! It's so painful but hopefully the outcome is worth it. I'm glad it worked for you!!!

  • @sarah0985 It will be totally worth it! I couldn't even bend down to tie my own shoes for a month. I tried everything before going to the therapist. Massage, chiropractor, everything. My doctor wanted to put me on muscle relaxers. I was really against it because it wasn't really fixing the problem, just covering up the pain. After the first visit with the therapist, I started seeing improvement! Keep at it, and make sure that you do any of the exercises/stretches that he/she gives you for homework!

  • @1017Shannon Thanks! Hopefully that's the reason why then. I meant to start at CD 12 (I usually O around day 18) but forgot them at home when we went to visit the in laws so I couldn't start until CD14 and bam, positive right away.

    R/R/CS: Ready for my period to end

    GTKY: Have you ever had a paranormal/supernatural/other worldly experience? Yes I have!  I'm a very strong believer in ghosts, even though I didn't used to be.  I've had a few poltergeist-type experiences, but for me nothing was freakier than watching a latched door unlock, the doorknob turn, and the door open, even though I was the only person on the floor (literally - I was opening up the building for the school year as an RA).  Our last apartment was also haunted, and the damn sink would constantly turn on when we weren't in the kitchen.

    My partner is also at like an 85% success rate with tarot predictions for people, but I think that's just because he's good at cold readings.  It is weird, though, because certain cards do tend to show up at a much higher frequency for some people.

    I could ramble about this stuff for hours; I find it super interesting!

  • @thefarmerswife0411 Sorry about your friend! People are so rude, but they don't know they are being rude. Also, HOLY F BALLS. I read that and literally got the chills/watery eyes when reading it. Watery as in, not cryey, but totally freaked out. It's amazing and scary all in one! But I am SO GLAD you are here with us today. There is no doubt whomever she was had been looking out for you and your friend. Just wow!

    R/R/CS: Having a long cycle really makes this a tough wait. I mean, I know AF is about 5-6 days, and my LP is 14 days, but I don't have a "regular" O date. It varies so much and this waiting game is starting to make me BSC!! 
     /rant

    GTKY: I don't really believe in that sort of stuff. I did however do a ghost tour/pub crawl for my bachelorette party. It was interesting, but nothing happened aside from me drinking too much. Haha!

    WAYDTGKU: same old, same old 

    R/R/CS:  The further that I get into the journey of waiting to ovulate, makes me have more appreciation for the fact that my grandmother had 8 kids in 9.5 years. That's insane, but awesome!
    Not TTC related: Accidentally set my morning alarm for pm... So I woke up 40 mins after it and just happened to check my phone. Now my brain barely feels awake at work.

    GTKY:  I have to say that I don't believe in this stuff and have never experienced it to change my mind.

    R/R/CS: Rant: allergies! Ugh, I've already had one bout with them this season and last night started feeling cruddy again and worse this morning. I don't have time for you, allergies, just go away!

    Rave: the new house is coming together!! Saturday I got my kitchen put together so my in-laws could come over for lunch Sunday (first big meal in the new house!). My FIL put my barstools together while waiting for lunch to be ready. Then after lunch everybody helped put the living room together (just moved some furniture around). Still need to finish painting a little bit and unpack a LOT but it's coming along.

    WAYDTGKU: pnv bbt opk just started acupuncture 

    R/R/CS: so I had my first acupuncture appt on Saturday. It was pretty relaxing and fertility is 75% of this company's business, and when I talked to him he seemed to ask so many more questions than I've ever been asked by a dr and have so much more familiarity with people who had my exact same issue. He wants to see me every week for the next 6 weeks and twice a month after that. The way he explained it is acupuncture takes time to affect the eggs that are in the pipeline to being selected to being ovulated. 

    GTKY: Have you ever had a paranormal/supernatural/other worldly experience? No personal experiences. I had an ex-BF who saw a UFO though. And my mother had a reading with a psychic friend who made a totally true prediction.

    WAYDTGKU: Waiting for AF to stop. 

    R/R/CS: DH is sick. He thinks he's dying. I think it's a cold. Man-flu. Ugh. 

    GTKY: Have you ever had a paranormal/supernatural/other worldly experience? I typically don't believe in that stuff, but crazy story. When I was in highschool we lived in a house with crazy stuff all the time. The lights would switch on and off, the cabinets would be all open when we woke up, scariest of all, the oven and sometimes even the burners would turn on. We had to unplug it every night because it was gas. One night my little sister and brother and I decided to have a movie marathon and sleep in the living room so we drug out our mattresses and made a huge bed in the floor. My mothers door to her bedroom was directly to the right of the tv and the hall to the bathrooms and our bedrooms were directly to the left. Well we finally turned off the tv and fell asleep. At some point I woke up because I heard the floor creaking, I didn't have my glasses/contacts, so I just saw the shadow of my mother walking down the hall toward our bedrooms/bathroom. I saw her then walk back to her bedroom. I fell back asleep and woke up when I heard a huge bang. But I assumed it was in my dream because no one else woke up. So when mom woke us up in the morning, I saw my hair straightener laying in front of her door and a huge part of the door was broken like someone had thrown the straightener (or a sledge hammer!) at it. Mom said she didn't, but it explained the big bang I heard.

    ETA ***NBR question*** Does anyone (or your significant other) do hot yoga while you are TTC?  My H wants to start doing yoga together, but start with hot yoga, and I'm hesitant.  I am leaning toward if we do it, I will stop in the TWW and only start again after CD1.

    R/R/CS:  My FW doesn't usually start until at least cd17, but my CM is already starting to thin.  FX this keeps up so we can hit a FW before my H leaves this weekend.

    GTKY: Have you ever had a paranormal/supernatural/other worldly experience?  I'm convinced a woman who showed up randomly at my church (with very relevant professional history and spot-on timing) was an angel who was in my life to help me do something specific and important, and when it was done she was gone.  She said her job got transferred to Oklahoma and I got a letter from her once awhile later but I haven't heard from her or been able to find her on social media since.

    R/R/CS: That moment where you're in the bathroom first thing in the morning and realize you're just peeing straight into the toilet and completely forgot about OPK... aghhhh. Then forgot again with SMU. TMU (that's not a thing!) looked really negative. Stupid me.

    GTKY: Have you ever had a paranormal/supernatural/other worldly experience? When I was a kid, I swear our laundry room was haunted because every day at around 4PM, I would hear a single strike of cymbals from there. It eventually stopped when I was like 10 or so, but it happened daily for about 5 years and I never figured it out. I don't know if that's truly "paranormal" but we did not have cymbals in our house or anything that made a sound like cymbals so it was really confusing and scary to me.
