TWW Wednesday

I feel bad starting this 2x in a row, but I'm SS and I need to tell someone... because I'm INSANE.

Month/Cycle:

CD/DPO:

Timing:

Testing:

R/R/CS:

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?

wineo929 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/7

CD/DPO: 23/8

Timing: -2, -1

Testing: Sunday if no AF

R/R/CS: My AF cramps are gone this morning, so I have convinced myself they were implementation cramps. And then I have an abnormal (for me) amount of creamy CM. So clearly, I am KU. Come on, Sunday.

GTKY: I went right to a 4 year university, and while I don't regret it (I felt like I got a great education & met my H), I wish I had done 2 years at a community college first because STUDENT LOANS. Enough said.

sldp123 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 11

CD/DPO: 17/4

Timing: IUI

Testing: Next Saturday, which might as well be two years away.

R/R/CS: I'm grumpy today. DH stayed up late watching the hockey playoff game. (Note: "late" to me on a week night is anything past like, 10pm). Anyway, when he came to bed at like 11:30 he woke me up to tell me that the Penguins won, and he knows I don't even care about hockey. I was so irritated, then I couldn't fall back asleep.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path? I went to a 4-year college. Actually was supposed to be 6-year, I had pre-acceptance into the pharmacy program at the college I chose. But like halfway through freshman year, I decided it was going to be too hard I didn't want to apply myself, so I changed majors and did a 4-year program. If I could go back in time, yes I would have definitely stuck it out. When I was 18, 6 years sounded like a lifetime, and now I'm like, I could have totally handled it and been much better off financially a lot earlier.

kellybean1988 · May 2016

That's ok, @wineo929 ! I started it 2x in a row earlier this week too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to @Steelerfan78 and @lisswastaken , right? I hope you both have wonderful days!

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 24/7

Timing: --2, --1

Testing: holding out till 13dpo (next Tuesday) per agreement with @JediAlly85

R/R/CS: This isn't a rant even though it sounds like one--I am a short on cash this month due to unforeseen home repairs, SO I won't be renewing my FF VIP. This is great during the TWW for me because it is keeping the BSC at bay!!

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?

After high school, I went straight to a 4 year liberal arts school and got a bachelor's in music performance (viola). Then from there I went straight to grad school at a big conservatory to get a master's in the same thing. I work in university admissions now--if I had to do it over, I still think I'd go to the same type of schools (minus the conservatory) but would study something like communications--I am not cut out for the freelance music world!

Testing: no

R/R/CS: had a fabulous day shopping with a friend. Have myself a free pass on the eating a drinking

. Back to work, back to my cleanse and hoping to get out and enjoy the weather!

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?
College a million times, worked odd jobs throughout. I wish I never went back to school the last time. My ex told me I needed a career that should have been a red flag. I don't regret the degree, only the debt!

leekat14 · May 2016

@wineo929 The debt it the worst! I'm glad I have the degrees and education that I do but at this point I look back and wonder if it was worth the debt.

kellybean1988 · May 2016

Oh, yeah...to everyone talking about student loans...holla. They are the bane of my existence!

safire3 · May 2016

Will be back sometime later for replies!
Happy birthday to @Steelerfan78 and @lisswastaken
@Wino0920 I am right there with you with the BSC. Was feeling like I'm KU this month based on a dream! There is no higher level of crazy!

*****CS please**************

Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD/DPO: 22/6
Timing: -2
Testing: if late
R/R/CS: If anyone can help me with a CS I would really appreciate it. It's only my second month temping and last month my chart was exactly like I expected but this month it's all over the place. Had a temp dip past cover line today but AF isn't due to start for a week. Last month the temp dip came the day before AF. I had O pain from CD 13 to 15 and I have some of my usual TWW symptoms but not all. I'm wondering now if I O'ed at all since temps never got as high as last month?
My chart link - hope it workshttps://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/61329e
GTKY: So I am in medicine plus I migrated to the US after university and had to do a lot of things again over here so let me just say many years of school, mixed in with a few years working and a year and a half spent just taking exams. Only finished last year and I turned 33 this year. If I could go back I'd do something that takes less schooling and you still make more money and can maybe work from home like something IT related.

R/R/CS: Not much today, just wishing it was tuesday already come on! I have a love/hate relationship with TWW, I love when I get to "go here" but I hate it after like 30 seconds. Time just drags by...

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?

**TW pregnancy mentioned**
I went to a 4 year college but struggled a lot. I moved around majors a bunch and changed schools a few times. It was a rough time for me. My parents just split up and were really putting me in the middle of it which was not good for me emotionally. I dealt with it by goofing off with my friends a lot and not going to class. I had a ton of credits but nothing equalling a degree as different schools had different methods like trimesters, semesters, quarters. and varying degree paths. So when I was 22 and should have graduated I came home and found a job. I was actually really good at this job it was low level IT, in the helpdesk, but it made me realize that I did have potential and was very smart and capable. But that it was hard to make it on such low wage and no degree. So I started going to school online while working fulltime. I got both my associates and bachelors degrees while moving up internally with my company along the way.

While I was almost done with my bachelors I got pregnant with my DS. I gave birth to him right before my last quarter of school. I was on maternity leave with a newborn while finishing that last quarter of college. Completing that was one of my greatest accomplishments and I really feel like a big part of the motivation was for my son. So he could see when he grows up that you should never give up. No matter how much longer something may take you than everyone else.

I have always regretted not being able to complete school like most people. HS, then 4yrs of college and then degree. If I could go back I would probably start at community college. But the struggle and experience I went through made me who I am today so I am proud of that.

sldp123 · May 2016

@safire3 I think you definitely O'd, but I do wonder if it was CD13 instead. Either way, a single temp below the CL doesn't necessarily mean anything. You'll have to see what your temps do over the next few days, but I wouldn't worry at this point.

Liss_37 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 5

CD/DPO: 24 / 11

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

Testing: I had a very questionable test this morning. so I'm going to wait a couple days and try again.

R/R/CS: Today is my birthday! Trying to let that distract me from SS and HAPPY BIRTHDAY @Steelerfan78 !! Let this be our year!

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?

I worked for a year and then went to college. I wouldn't change what I did

kfair001 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 21/3

Timing: -4, -3, 0x2

Testing: Probably 8dpo (Monday). I waited until 12 DPO last cycle and I found that getting a BFN on 12 DPO was a way harder pill to swallow than getting them earlier. An early BFN takes me off the BSC train early at least.

R/R/CS: Got my CH this morning so I’m happy about that. This cycle is the first time we have ever done BD twice on O day so I’m pretty pumped about that!

GTKY: What did you do after high school? I went to college in the U.S., so after college I moved back to Canada and started working right away. I think I was home 2 weeks before I started getting really bored. I’ve never not gone to school or worked so I was incredible bored. Been working my way up the corporate ladder ever since. Boring I know but I wouldn't change one thing about it. I'm a firm believer that every decision I've made throughout my life has led me to where I am today and where I am today is a good place.

hanshotfirst77 · May 2016

@safire3 I agree with @sldp123 I think you may have O'd CD13. And I get a temp dip around 6-9 dpo every cycle. I dont think it means anything.

Liss_37 · May 2016

Thank you for the wishes ladies!!

mylove071407 · May 2016

Month/Cycle:   1/1

CD/DPO: 30/10

Timing: -2, -1, 0

Testing: Tomorrow

R/R/CS:   I still feel crappy. I can't wait to test tomorrow so I can call the doctor and figure out what's going on with me. I'm having a rough day as well. One of DH's friends just had a baby last night.   I am completely jealous, heart broken, envious, sad, etc. I know that's completely BSC because we just started TTC again but I can't help it. I have wanted another baby for so long and they just got married. It's not fair. (I know I sound like a 3 year old). I'll get over it.   I'm faking being excited for them right now but I'm trying to be legit excited.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?    I did the 4 year thing. My parents told me that if I lived at home, working part time and went to a state school they would pay for school. So that's what I did. I took some time off between getting my Bachelor's and my Master's though.

kfair001 · May 2016

@wineo929 Boo for student loans! FX that your SS turned out being something!

@sldp123 I totally know what you mean about 6 years feeling so long when your 18. I hated being forced to make such huge decisions about my life when I was 18. I was still a kid or at least I felt like it. I changed my major twice. Lots of kids just don’t know what they want to do at that age. Sometimes I still don’t know!

@kellybean1988 That’s so cool that you’re musically inclined, I wish I was. I was just a jock! Lol

@leekat14 I’m hoping the weather starts to really warm up!

@lisswastaken Happy Birthday, Lady! I hope you have the best day!

wineo929 · May 2016

@safire3 I definitely think you O'd. My guess would be your temp will come up tomorrow. Good luck!

@sldp123, ugh I hear that. I did a 5 year program and at 18 I was dreading it!

wineo929 · May 2016

Happy Birthday, @lisswastaken and @steelerfan78!!

mrsdaddario · May 2016

*Lurking*

Happy Birthday @lisswastaken and @Steelerfan78 !!

mylove071407 · May 2016

@wineo929: I will have my fx for you Sunday!
@sldp123: I hate when DH wakes me up when he comes to bed late. I can never fall asleep after either.

@kellybean1988: I hate FF VIP for that reason. I'm always staring at my chart.

@leekat14: I love shopping with friends. I love cheat days as well!

@safire3: I'm going to agree with the O'ing around CD 13.

@JediAlly85: This TWW is going by at a snails pace. I wish it was tomorrow. TW: I was pregnant with DD while I was finishing my Master's. It was crazy. I feel like I missed the first two years
of her life because either I was at work or school.

@lisswastaken: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

@kfair001: Yey for CH's!!!

beary67 · May 2016

Happy Birthday @lisswastaken and @SteelersFan!!!

Month/Cycle: 8/7

CD/DPO: 31/3

Timing: -3, -1, O

Testing: Thursday, 5/19 at 11 DPO

R/R/CS: I think I ovulated on CD 28. I got solid cross hairs but my temp rise is not huge, but the look of my chart follows previous cycles in which I have ovulated. This is my second time in the TWW this cycle because my body likes to play games with me. Hopefully I am here to stay this time!

GTKY: After high school, I went to a pretty large University to study neuroscience and then went directly to an even larger University for my Master's to study Higher Education Administration. I'm not sure how I went from neuroscience to higher education administration, but I would not change my path for a million bucks. I love what I do!

britters314 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD/DPO: 27/13? (I said 13 yesterday, but I must have guessed my O date incorrectly)

Timing: Wasn't keeping track (NTNP)

Testing: First of all, thanks to everyone who crossed their fingers for me yesterday! Today I got a BFN, but the test was weird again. I had one vertical line but the dye was also streaked horizontally. It still looked like a clear BFN, though, so I didn't go crazy and take more tests. I'll just wait until the weekend now if my period doesn't come before that.

R/R/CS: Oh, I suppose see above.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?
4 year college. I picked an inexpensive public school that also gave me quite a bit in scholarships, so I was able to graduate without debt. So I don't regret it. I then did an accelerated one-year Master's program and had loans from that, but it's been about 10.5 months since I graduated and I have it almost all paid off! For those of you trying to pay off student loans - you can do it! Neither H nor I have full-time jobs and we hardly make any money, but we're still doing it! (I realize this makes it seem a little irresponsible for us to be trying for a baby lol - H does start his first full-time job next month.)

leekat14 · May 2016

WTF bump mobile. It updated on my Android and just sent me a notification saying "your baby is the size of a..." I stopped right there. I big F you TB.

skiingstark · May 2016

**warning tmi***

Month/ Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 15/ 2

Timing: -3 and 0

Testing: we will see if I can wait for my period or not, last time I used up alot of tests....

R/R/CS: Sooo this is probably way to much tmi, so stop reading now if you do not like that kind of stuff but I have to talk to somebody about this. I think i have jock itch, I first thought it was chafing, so put lotion on the red spots but now it is spreading all on long my underwear line and I freaked out. I looked up online and it looks like what I have is what I have is jock itch, which is a type of fungus. I am putting medicine on it now,but now I feel soo dirty and a itchy. It is soo not my fault though, my school has no airconditioning!!! and we live in a semi arid desert it gets hot!!, But god for bid we raise the taxes so we can put airconditiong in our school when it gets above 100 all the time here. So there is only so much I can do. And I read people are like you should wear skirts and dresses, well I need to wear shorts under them or I get chaffing soo there goes that whole keeping the goods having airflow. I already wear only cotton underwear. I feel soo nasty and apparently I should not have sex. Bah... so there is my disgusting rant for the day.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path? 4 year college, I think I might have not chosen teaching, teaching is horrible now with the focus on testing and blaming everything on teachers. Still love the kids it is everything else I hate.

LadyBrettAshley23 · May 2016

Happy birthday @lisswastaken and @steelerfan78!!! I hope you both have a great day!

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 23/12

Timing: Great

Testing: BFN this morning

Image: https://media4.giphy.com/media/rVE098PWxwyoo/200.gif

R/R/CS: I feel out this cycle. Mild pre-AF cramps started this morning. AF is due on Saturday. I still can't believe how difficult this whole process is mentally.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path? I went to 4-year college then directly to grad school. I would probably do the same thing except I would try to do study abroad or travel more during the summers.

MollyandD · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 14/3

Timing: Good

Testing: I was going to wait until Sunday the 22, but I might try on Friday and Saturday. I am supposed to give blood Saturday and if I'm pregnant, that's probably a bad game plan. I may cancel the appointment anyway to be safe.

R/R/CS: FF confirmed ovulation for Sunday, since I got my 3 raised temps, but I already knew I had ovulated. I felt it when it was happening and then got some ovulation bleeding after. If I'm lucky, I may have a tiny little zygote moving down my Fallopian tube as we speak.

I like to imagine it and try to think positive thoughts. Even if I get my period, there's no harm in letting myself feel happy right now. I used to be the type to think negative thoughts in order to keep my hopes from getting too high. Now, I try to think positively, but still be realistic. I'm a happier person all around this way.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?
Immediately after high school, I did nothing. I always knew I wanted to go to the university close to my house and be a teacher, but no one told me how to apply or what to do from there. Then, the summer after I graduated, I decided I should check into college. I signed up for the ACT on the campus for the next week. I got my scores that day, went to the admissions office for an application, and the lady there told me to fill it out right there. She said it was walk-in enrollment day, and as long as my scores were high enough on my ACT, I could get in. I left that day with my student ID and class schedule. It all happened so fast, once I stopped wasting time.

I did a similar thing with grad school. I decided on a whim to apply, and I started the next semester. I graduated with my master's in December of 2014. I plan to get one more master's before I get my Ph.D.

Liss_37 · May 2016

@Britters85 sorry for the BFN. I have been waiting for your update. FX for good things for the weekend tho!

varimama · May 2016

Happy Birthday @lisswastaken & @Steelerfan78

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 29/15 if I trust FF estimate

Timing: honestly I've fooled myself into believing FF estimate so I'm probably way off

Testing: another BFN today.

R/R/CS: I really wish I'd started temping this cycle because I have no clue what's going on. However I hadn't heard of temping when DH and I started as we initially planned on starting in August but after a good talk decided to jump in staring in April.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?

I did a 5 year bachelors degree which included a year of co-op. I wouldn't change that part since I met DH bc of it but I should have stuck out 1 more year to do my masters. At the time I was done with school and wanted to work. Now I wish I was in school again!

EDT bc mobile bump cut off my bottom half of post. Ya know the one where I did all the typing

KristoKekerooni · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 20

CD/DPO: 34/19ish (tomorrow will be one full week late, I have a normal 28 day cycle)

Timing: every third day since CD9

Testing: Negative HPT, negative blood test Monday.

R/R/CS: I guess just waiting on my period since the blood test confirmed I'm not pregnant. I still am slightly holding out that I just ovulated late and it couldn't be picked up yet.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?
I went right into college. I probably would have done the same, but I would have chosen a different school. Private school is very expensive and I am paying for it now!

Dilynne · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 61/6

Timing: +3

Testing: I probably won't test.

R/R/CS: Nothing ruins your Friday more than realizing it's Wednesday.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path? I went to University for be a high school choir teacher, but the school went on strike and pissed me off so I left. Then I took a college course for my job now. I would probably do it again and hope that the University didn't go on strike.

MonaLisaRalphio · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 30/12

Timing: -6 through +1

Testing: BFNs everywhere.

R/R/CS: Early temp drop yesterday had me all pissy, and although it went up a bit this morning, I'm still anticipating AF tomorrow.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path? I went right to college at a school I didn't like, so I transferred home and went to community college for a year. After that, I went to a good school close to home and finished on time. So it started out bumpy, but I did really well after that. Then I took about a year and a half to figure out what I wanted to do before going to grad school, which took three semesters. I had a couple of great jobs over the next several years, but I wasn't terribly fulfilled, so about four years ago I took an accelerated teacher certification program, and I've now been teaching high school English for three years. I would probably do a lot of things differently if I had it all to do over again, but ultimately, it led me to a wonderful place in life, so I'm happy. I think I would have benefited enormously from a gap year right after high school, though. I went away to school quite young, and I could have done with some maturing.

MamaMunn · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 12/9

CD/DPO: 35/ FF says 3 but I say 4

Timing: either -2, -3 or -1, -2

Testing: Only if for some unexpected reason AF didn't show

R/R/CS: So glad to finally be in the tww!! I'm waiting for CD 1 make my ultrasound appt with the RE so we can start clomid next cycle. It's so hard to be patients!

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?
Right after high school I went to school to be a hair stylist. Once I started working I realized I hated it and definitely needed a new career path. I got my AAS and right now I'm working on getting my bachelors online. I do wish after high school I would have gone the 4 year college route right away, but I didn't really know what I wanted to do. Maybe even taking a year off would have been good. I hate that they push you to decide what you want to do right after high school! At 18 I had no idea.

mylove071407 · May 2016

I'm sorry for the BFN's I'm seeing.

Zoey1019 · May 2016

@MonaLisaRalphio I hate temp drops

I am sorry, I hope your temp goes up more tomorrow!
@MamaMunn glad to see you are in TWW! Must feel good to be moving on now!

Lecool · May 2016

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing: 9DPO

R/R/CS: I have my annual appointment with my Ob/Gyn tomorrow, so I'm getting together a list of questions to ask her about TTC, and trying to see if we can get my H in for an SA.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?
I went to community college for two years and chipped away at my general ed classes, because I couldn't afford to go to the expensive, private art school that I eventually attended. I worked two jobs so that I could afford to pay for classes in cash so that I wouldn't have to take out any loans. Once I got as far as I could there, I transferred to art school and completed my Bachelor's and took out loans like it was my job.

LittleChick2 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 30/8

Timing: -3 -2 +1

Testing: 10 DPO, the day FF says AF is due

R/R/CS: The week is almost over, the week is almost over... I'm so ready for the weekend.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?
I went straight to working and going to a community college, technically I started both before I even finished high school. I wasn't very focused when it came to my course schedule and took several classes for enjoyment rather than necessity. If I could do it again I would have stuck to only what was required for my associates degree and then gone to nursing school like I had planned. However, I do wonder if I would have still met H and been able to spend as much time as I did with my grandpa before he passed away had I changed my path. As it is now, I have my associates degree but haven't done anything with it as I've had the same job for 10 years (need a new job!!).

teamginger13 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 18/21

CD/DPO: 1dpiui

Timing: -2, O (2x -- IUI and BD)

Testing: nope

R/R/CS: I am just glad the IUI is over and that DH and I could still BD last night just to get a few more swimmers up in there! My RE suggested that we set up an IVF consult for a couple days after when I should get AF (if I am not pregnant) so we agreed. Fingers crossed we don't have to go that route because I REALLY don't want to spend all that money!

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path? I went away to college right after high school but only stayed at that particular school for a year and half and then moved and finished my degree at a different university. If I could go back in time I probably would have done the same thing. Even though I left the first school I still learned a lot and became very independent during my time there. No regrets!

loveinak · May 2016

Happy Birthday, @lisswastaken and @Steelerfan78
@MonaLisaRalphio I hope your temp drop was a fluke and it continues to rise
@MamaMunn It's great you were able to get to the TWW!
@Lecool I hope tomorrow's appointment is productive and you get some answers

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 31/12

Timing: -6, -3, -1, +1

Testing: Every day until Friday

R/R/CS: My DH leave tomorrow for a four day trip. I've found two shows I plan to binge through and there's a good chance I won't leave my house.

GTKY: I went to a college six hours away from my hometown after graduation and wouldn't change the timing; however, I wish I had been more educated in the consequences of student loans. I feel like they're never going to go away. My DH works for the university and I had the opportunity to go back to school without having to pay tuition. Four years after my undergrad, I enrolled in grad school and received my masters in social work.

@wineo929 Definetely have my FX for you girl!

@sldp123 My H does stuff like that. He works graveyard - so he's awake all night - and I work very early in the mornings, and he'll come in at 2 in the morning (only an hour and a half before I have to get up for work) and starts talking to me about something he just thought of. I'm just like, I love you, but GO AWAY.

@safire3 It looks like you O'd to me. A single dip below CL isn't too much to worry about. Wondering if maybe you O'd on CD13 instead though? If you did - then that would lower your CL and today's temp would still be above it. It's hard to tell without CM/OPKs sometimes!

@lisswastaken and @Steelerfan78Happy birthday!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 14/3

Timing: Good

Testing: I was going to wait until Sunday the 22, but I might try on Friday and Saturday. I am supposed to give blood Saturday and if I'm pregnant, that's probably a bad game plan. I may cancel the appointment anyway to be safe.

R/R/CS: FF confirmed ovulation for Sunday, since I got my 3 raised temps, but I already knew I had ovulated. I felt it when it was happening and then got some ovulation bleeding after. If I'm lucky, I may have a tiny little zygote moving down my Fallopian tube as we speak.

I like to imagine it and try to think positive thoughts. Even if I get my period, there's no harm in letting myself feel happy right now. I used to be the type to think negative thoughts in order to keep my hopes from getting too high. Now, I try to think positively, but still be realistic. I'm a happier person all around this way.

GTKY: What did you do after high school? Community college, 4 year, right to work, certificate program, Peace Corps? If you could go back in time, would you take the same path?
Immediately after high school, I did nothing. I always knew I wanted to go to the university close to my house and be a teacher, but no one told me how to apply or what to do from there. Then, the summer after I graduated, I decided I should check into college. I signed up for the ACT on the campus for the next week. I got my scores that day, went to the admissions office for an application, and the lady there told me to fill it out right there. She said it was walk-in enrollment day, and as long as my scores were high enough on my ACT, I could get in. I left that day with my student ID and class schedule. It all happened so fast, once I stopped wasting time.

I did a similar thing with grad school. I decided on a whim to apply, and I started the next semester. I graduated with my master's in December of 2014. I plan to get one more master's before I get my Ph.D.

@MollyandD I love this outlook. I do the same thinking if I'm not positive and optimistic it will somehow protect me when I get that bfn. I'm really trying to enjoy life and find things to keep me busy instead of dwelling on this ONE BIG THING.

@beary67 hopefully you’re here to stay this time!

@britters314 FX for the wknd!

@skiingstark This whole process (7 months) I’ve never once been able to hold off on testing until getting my period lol. FX that you have better willpower than I do.

@steelerfan78 Happy Birthday!

@LadyBrettAshley23 Sorry about the BFN

@MollyandD 3 DPO, me too!!

@marriedhamstermom & @KristoWillo Sorry about the BFNs

@Dilynne I wish I had your willpower and could just not test! Teach me!

@MonaLisaRalphio Sorry about the BFN

@MamaMunn I totally agree with the whole pushing you to decide what you want to do with the entire rest of your life when you’re still a kid! I even took a year off and didn’t go to my 4-year college until I was 19. Even at 19 I didn’t know what I wanted to do! Luckily everything worked out and I have a career I love but it’s so much pressure to make those decisions at such a young age.

@Lecool Oh yay for your appointment. Let us know (if you feel comfortable) how it goes and if ya learn anything new! Good luck!

@LittleChick2 Hump day! Whoop whoop!!!

@teamginger13 FX that you don’t have to go the IVF route! I hope this is your month!

@loveinak Gotta love a good TV binge when the DH leaves for a couple of days! Enjoy!
