GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy?

wineo929 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 28/13 (I think that's wrong)

Timing: who knows

Testing: tomorrow if no AF. BFN AF 11dpo

R/R/CS: Blahhhhh. I didn't temp this cycle and am regretting it so hard right now. The last 4 days I temped because I couldn't handle not knowing. I usually have an 11 day LP, so I'm thinking I guessed my O date wrong. I have all the AF symptoms I usually get (cramps, gas, acne), but no AF and a temp drop. I'm just over this. Patiently waiting for AF to move on to cycle 8...

GTKY: Today I think I'd spend it all on food, wine and the spa.

sldp123 · May 2016

Month/cycle: 11

CD/DPO: 21/9

Timing: IUI

Testing: Saturday

R/R/CS: The urge to test is suddenly strong, but for the first time I'm terrified to see a BFN, so I'm still holding out. I may end up testing toward the end of the week. But if I'm not KU, chances are I will start spotting by then, so there may be no need.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy? I would get a my hair cut and colored to cover up the whites, which I've been wanting to do for a while now but I'm too cheap. Then I'd like to buy an acupuncture package with the rest of the money, unless this is happening today, since maybe I'm already KTFU and don't even need it, haha. So in that case, I would spend the rest on bar stools and decor for our new house.

skiingstark · May 2016

Month/ Cycle:1/1

CD/DPO: 20/7

Timing:-3 and 0

Testing:hoping to hold out

R/R/CS: Less itching but still itching. Sorry this really is all I think about right now, it has replaced my baby obsession.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy? Well I can buy autographs of celebrities for Denver Comic Con right now, so I would buy one for everyone I wanted to see

They have soo many Dr Who people this year and Stan Lee which cost $100 alone... Then mulch, I have to re mulch my whole backyard garden which is huge. So one fun thing and one adult thing, I feel that is a good mix.

MrsM00re87 · May 2016

Cd 22/7dpo Timing: -4, -2, -1 Testing: holding out till 12dpo, or 2 days before expected AF. If I can hold out that long! I have some Hpts in the house! Do I have self control I dunno. R/R/CS: all that crapping I had earlier has subsided. Thank god! Feel good just tired, haven't had a good sleep in day for 10 days roughly between early appts with the FS, and work, and blood work appts like today - had my progesterone drawn, hoping for positive ovulation. Fingers crossed. GTKY: if I had $1,000 right now, I would put it towards my vacation I'm planning to visit family in Germany. So flight, spending money etc. I so far have $500 saved, but another $1,000 would be really helpful.

MollyandD · May 2016

Month/cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 19/8

Timing: Good

Testing: Toward the end of this week.

R/R/CS:
I know feeling anything during implantation is rare, but I'm really hoping I will. Unfortunately, today, if it were to happen, I doubt I'd notice it. I am sore from a workout in my abdomen already. In addition to that, I woke up with another pain in my abdomen that I'm fairly sure is gas-related. (Sorry for sharing that yucky info.) I guess I was hopeful, because I felt the ovulation pain so strongly. I know the two feelings aren't related, but it would have been cool. Now, even if there is any kind of feeling, I won't notice it over this other stuff. Oh well, maybe I'll be lucky and have a positive pregnancy test when this week ends.

sldp123 · May 2016

@wineo929 I'm regretting not temping, too. Even though I guess I know when I O'd because I triggered, I still would have preferred to actually see it work. I've been randomly temping during the TWW even though it's meaningless at this point.

MollyandD · May 2016

My getting to know you went away. I swear I typed it. Anyway, I'd spend the thousand on my car, or I'd buy a ton of clothes. It's been so long since I've bought new clothes. I really need to get more for work and for home.

kellybean1988 · May 2016

*Edit words*

Month/cycle: 6/5

CD/DPO: 29/12

Timing: --2, --1

Testing: tomorrow if AF doesn't show first, pact w/ @JediAlly85 almost complete!

R/R/CS: I am 99.999999% sure AF is going to show up very soon. My tell-tale AF headaches have shown up this morning and I'm cranky, bloated, gassy, sad, etc. (I cried at every episode of "Orphan Black" that I binge watched yesterday...you guys it is not even like a very cry-worthy show lol). In a cruel twist of fate, my temp went up quite a bit this morning. Last cycle, though, I got AF the day BEFORE my temp dropped, so I'm not letting my temp get my hopes up. Oh well, at least if AF shows up today I won't have to waste a test tomorrow. I'm feeling really bummed; sorry to be a downer. It doesn't help that it's a stupid Monday!

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy?
Well considering how down I am today, I think I'd probably start at the spa with a massage and facial. Umm then I think I'd go blow a little of it at Target or something...I hardly ever indulge in retail therapy, but I could use it today! Also maybe then I'd hire a chef to make a fancy dinner for me tonight.

hanshotfirst77 · May 2016

Month/cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 28/11

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

Testing: tomorrow!! its so close @kellybean1988

R/R/CS: So yesterday I had these really intense waves of nausea. It was so weird, I've never felt that before in TWW. So of course I started googling nausea at 10dpo...hello rabbit hole!

Can't wait to test tomorrow but at the same time I know I will be crushed to see a bfn.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy?

Hmm probably video games. Ever since my DS I tend to spend all my extra money on him and DH and the house and rarely ever on me. So yeah I'd probably splurge on myself a little get some new games, maybe some new clothes, a really fancy dinner.

babymish · May 2016

Month/cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 24/11 or 24/9

Timing: good either way

Testing: BFN's every day. I was trying so hard to not test but my high temps got me hopeful. I'm out of tests now and want to buy more

R/R/CS: I got another high temp today - I woke up at 3.30am and temped and it was 98.54 which is ridiculously high for me - I'm not well and was really hot. Slept for 2 hours and woke at my normal time and it was a more reasonable (but still high for me) 98.32. I think this head cold is making my temps artificially high.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy?

Oh this would be too easy. I'd buy a french style rattan bed because I want one so badly.

housewifehobbyist · May 2016

Fingers crossed for you @sldp123! Is this your first IUI?

@skiingstark I know I'm missing something here. What is itching?!

Month/cycle: 10/2TTCAL

CD/DPO: 32/6

Timing:-3,-1,0

Testing: I have a big new bag o' Wondfos, so probably Friday.

R/R/CS: I woke up at 2:00 AM and could not fall back asleep, had to take a 6:30 AM train into the city because H was promoted and transferred here (yey!), and had an 8:00 AM meeting (boo!) and we carpool, and am trying to limit caffeine during the TWW so those two cups of coffee were it for me. This day is going to be brutal.

GTKY: Shopping spree at Sephora, I could easily drop a grand there

babymish · May 2016

Sorry you are feeling a bit lost @wineo929 - I think not temping the whole month would have me feeling the same. I hope you work out what's going on with your cycle soon.

@sldp123 good look with the testing later this week!

Liss_37 · May 2016

Month/cycle: 5

CD/DPO: 29 / 16

Timing: Good

Testing: BFN this morning

R/R/CS: Well I got a BFN today so I'm expecting the spotting to come anytime now. I'm having a really hard time this cycle and I'm in a miserable mood today. And I'm stuck at work which makes things harder (or maybe easier, who knows). just wish I was home wrapped up on my sofa eating doritos and drinking pepsi all day long.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy?

I would go to a spa, get a massage and a mani pedi, buy myself lunch, get my hair done and spend the rest on new clothes and shoes.

sldp123 · May 2016

Thanks @housewifehobbyist! Yes, this was my first IUI, so I have high hopes, but at the same time I've read that 2nd/3rd IUIs have better success rates, so who knows. Sorry you didn't sleep well. I woke up at 3am and couldn't fall back asleep for quite a while, and had to be up at 5:30 so I feel your pain. Hope the day goes fast for you!

stardust317 · May 2016

I woke up feeling confident at 18 DPO and there she was. AF is a fickle b sometimes. Hope to not see you ladies again.

FWIW, I would buy a Louis Vuitton bag or put it towards a girls weekend in Napa.

Lecool · May 2016

Month/cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 25/9

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing: BFN Today

R/R/CS: Wondering if I'm ever going to see a +HPT in real life. I know it's still technically early to feel out, but I have a 10 day LP, so I'm fully expecting a temp drop and AF tomorrow.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy? Fun question!
I would probably spend it on furniture/decor for our formal living room. We're working on slowly replacing all of our crappy cheap college furniture with nicer furniture and decorating our house.

Lecool · May 2016

@wineo929 I always wonder if I should take a month off from temping, but then I think about how it would drive me insane during the TWW. Sorry you're feeling lost.

@sldp123 I have FX for you this week!

@JediAlly85 and @kellybean1988 FX for you guys tomorrow!

@babymish I hate when being sick messes with your temps! I hope you feel better soon.

varimama · May 2016

Month/cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 34/not sure

Timing: not sure

Testing: 1 per week until AF or CD60 when I call the doc

R/R/CS: So I decided to start temping, not that I think it'll help this cycle but I'm an engineer and figure more data is better! Well I've woken up needing to pee at 4 the last 2 nights when my alarm was set at 5 so I got up and forgot about temping. Ugh idk if this is going to work for me but I hate being blind as to what is going on with my cycle.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy?

I'd get my hair done, get a mani pedi, and prob buy clothes with what is left. Besides the jeans I just bought (bc my ass ripped my old jeans and I had to get new ones) I haven't bought clothes in forever.

beary67 · May 2016

Month/cycle: 8/7

CD/DPO: 36/8

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Testing: Thursday at 11 DPO

R/R/CS: I'm trying to stay as level-headed as possible with this cycle...but...of course my temps are the highest they have been so that has me thinking I'm pregnant (duh!). I can't help but hope that I get KU this cycle before needing to start fertility meds and the IUI next cycle. My fingers are crossed for a BFP!

GTKY: I would buy another Longchamp purse in a summer color (I'm obsessed) and get my monogram on it. I would also get my hair done, get a massage. Then, i would spend the remaining money at my favorite store, Anthropologie!

sldp123 · May 2016

Lecool said:

R/R/CS: Wondering if I'm ever going to see a +HPT in real life.

@Lecool that is the entire reason I tested out my trigger last month. I was so excited to see a Wondfo actually work. I have fx for you this week, too. Your chart looks so pretty, I really, really hope it pans out for you.

Zoey1019 · May 2016

Month/cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 29/3

Timing: -2 x2

Testing: Starting this weekend, I can never resist.

R/R/CS: FINALLY!

Thank god I temp, because I would have been going crazy wondering why AF was so late. At least we are in the home stretch of the cycle now! 12 days to go, either on to cycle 5 or hopefully a different outcome. I finally kind of talked with my mom about this whole process this weekend. It took a margarita or two. I really wanted to know what her experience was, found out she got pregnant with me in "3 months" and with my brother the first month off BCP. She wasn't doing all of this stuff I am, but glad to know there were no serious issues there! I also just wanted her to know where I was at with all this stuff. It gets weird when everyone keeps commenting, but nobody knows that you are trying, or not trying, or just not getting pregnant immediately.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy?

I would go online and refresh my work wardrobe! I know it sounds silly, but I always need new work clothes!

LadyBrettAshley23 · May 2016

Good morning, ladies! I didn't check in over the weekend, but today is CD2 for me! On to cycle 5...

Image: https://media1.giphy.com/media/3Z5VZTCrQKCgo/200.gif

I'll be rooting for all of you!

Lecool · May 2016

@Zoey1019 Yay! Glad you're finally over here! And it's cool you talked to your mom about TTC. I keep wanting to talk to mine, but I haven't gotten the chance to yet, or the courage, honestly. I really hope this is your cycle!

@LadyBrettAshley23 Ugh, sorry about AF

wineo929 · May 2016

Thanks for the love everyone. It's my first day of summer with my DS, so I'll be back during nap time for replies!

Zoey1019 · May 2016

@babymish I am sorry you are feeling crappy

and that your temps are leading you down a rabbit hole. Hoping that it's just too early and you get better news soon.

@kellybean1988 @JediAlly85 Good luck with your testing pact!

@sldp123 I hope you have good results this weekend! I really really do!

@Lecool I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you too!!! It did feel good to finally talk a little about it, but it was awkward! I don't know why, because we are so close. I feel the same way about HPTs, hopefully one day....

kfair001 · May 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/6

CD/DPO: 26/8

Timing: -4, -3, 0x2

Testing: 9 dpo(Tuesday)

R/R/CS: Nothing really to rant about. All just positives stuff today! It’s Friday. We have our first summer half day so I’m off at 1:00. It looks like the weather may clear up by then too! FX! I’m finally getting my hair done today. I’ve put it off way too long and I can’t wait to be blonde again! Other than that … nothing. My boobs weren’t hurting after O which was concerning but they have officially entered the full-blown hurt mode this morning!

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You’re given $1,000 with the stipulations that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy? This is a fun one!!! I’m thinking I would just go crazy and spend my entire day on Amazon.ca! lol. I would probably buy a shit ton of new clothes. I’m serious in need of some new items for work. I’ve been putting it off and putting it off. I’d also probably pay a landscaper to do some work in my backyard. That’s all I can think of right now!

kfair001 · May 2016

@wineo929 Yay I’m testing tomorrow too! FX for both of us!

@sldp123 FX for you this cycle!

@skiingstark FX that you can hold out!

@MollyandD When I first started out TTC I was convinced that I was feeling implantation cramps but it ended up being gas every time.

@kellybean1988 No! I really hope that AF is not on her way!

@JediAlly85 Testing tomorrow too! Statistically one of us HAS to get a BFP. Or at least that’s what I’m going to tell myself. Lol. Good luck to you lady!

@babymish Sorry about the BFN. :sad: Possibly still early though!

@housewifehobbyist Sephora! Good answer. That would be really easy way to spend a grand!

@lisswastaken sorry about the BFN. :sad:

@Lecool Sorry about BFN today. Still early though!

@beary67 My fingers are crossed for you too!

@zoey1019 Hoping for a different outcome for you this time! FX!

@LadyBrettAshley23 Sorry about CD 2. Hope to see you back over here very soon!

1017Shannon · May 2016

Month/cycle: 10/5 after loss but 4 technically with good timing (see how a lady can justify moving the 10 to 4?? Haha that helped with my anxiety last month

CD/DPO: 4dpo

Timing: -4, -2, -1, +1 OR -3, -2, O I had to discard a temp so I'm not sure but either way timing doesn't suck too bad

Testing: I wanted to start testing at 9dpo but we have a day planned for the boys and I don't want to be depressed from a negative. So I'll be testing Sunday 10 DPO!

R/R/CS: I'm happy our timing was decent this month! this is the time of the month in a bit more relaxed and can put ttc out of my mind. I always let myself get hopeful so that makes me less anxious. It's terrible that I dread the wto period every month as depression and anxiety are usually much much worse those two weeks

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy? Clothes, hair, nails, and decorations for the room we just finished!

teamginger13 · May 2016

Month/cycle: 18

CD/DPO: 6dpiui

Timing: -2, 0 x 2 (IUI and BD)

Testing: next Sunday at 12dpiui

R/R/CS: Just waiting. And waiting.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy? I would probably buy airline tickets (or miles) to be used at a future date. I have the travel bug right now but am saving all the money for IVF.

krisnicole23 · May 2016

@kfair001 I love shopping on Amazon too! I get clothes super cheap all the time on there.

@housewifehobbyist Sephora is the best! I could easily spend $1000 like no problem!
@ladybrettashley23 I'm sorry about CD 2. I will be joining you over there at wto any time now.

Month/cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 30/ 15 dpo

Timing: Horrible. I believe -6 and +2. Didn't temp or chart though so not absolutely sure. Just basing it off my normal O day everything month.

Testing: AF is a day late but still all bfn's on cheapies and FRER. So frustrating.

R/R/CS: I'm normally always right on time getting AF. So it's super annoying to be late and get all bfn's. Annoyed with my body right now.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy?

I would go get my hair and nails done. Then I would go to have dinner at the most expensive restaurant in town an book an overnight stay in a nice hotel I have always wanted to stay at.

picklesplease · May 2016

It's the last Monday of the school year! WOOHOO! (I'm apologizing ahead of time. I will have happy gifs all week.)

Image: https://media.giphy.com/media/Y5fnH9N1jnafu/giphy.gif

Month/cycle: 9/8

CD/DPO: 25/7

Timing: -2, -1, +1

Testing: Waiting until Friday.

R/R/CS: Had a temp drop this morning, as per usual on CD7/8. I'm still trying to be hopeful, but I can't help feel down right now. I ended up having a really crappy day yesterday, which involved my family telling me that I'm lazy because I get summers off. I told them I have workshops to go to over the summer (which I get paid for), but they just continued to put me down about being a teacher. They literally have no idea what I do at my job and don't realize that I make more than my husband. I'm the breadwinner. I'm the one helping us get out of debt. I'm the decision-maker when it comes to our finances. I have a job that I'm really good at. My co-workers respect me and look up to me. I worked my butt off to get a masters degree and am being asked to go through an educational leadership program to potentially become an administrator. All of that doesn't matter because I get 8 weeks off to recover and get caught up before the start of the next school year.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy?
I would start off with a massage and facial. Then I'd go get a mani/pedi. Then I'd go to get sushi and wine. Then I'd drop a couple hundred on some of my favorite wines at my favorite little store. Oh man. Then I'd go buy new shoes, purses, and clothes at the mall. I usually turn down certain outfits or items because they are too expensive. I'd just want a day to spoil myself for once.

Marley629 · May 2016

@sldp123 i have everything crossed for you this week!!

@JediAlly85 & @kellybean1988 FX for testing tomorrow! So much willpower to wait!!

Month/cycle: 6/6 +2 months NTNP

CD/DPO: 16/5

Timing: -2, 0

Testing: starting at 12 DPO until BFP or AF

R/R/CS: happy Monday!!

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy?

this is a good one. I have such a hard time buying stuff for myself - I would buy a new wardrobe as mine is a bit outdated. I would also get my hair done and I would prob have a nice lunch in quiet by myself

20T · May 2016

Sorry for all of the BFNs

@DoctorDonna, happy last Monday! I saw a meme the other day that reminded me of you and all of our other TTGP teachers:

Month/cycle: 7

CD/DPO: 13/1 OR 13/3

Timing: high if 1 DPO, ok if 3 DPO

Testing: no clue, probably 5/27 for Memorial Day weekend.

R/R/CS: Who knows what my body is doing at this point...

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy? Ohhhh I wish this really happened! I'd probably get an amazing massage and mani/pedi and then go shopping!

Lecool · May 2016

@DoctorDonna I'm so sorry your family was treating you that way. Don't let anyone make you feel like what you do is valuable, or that you're not working hard enough. Even not knowing you personally, and just from your posts here, I can see how much effort you put in for your students, and how much you impact them. Keep doing you and try and ignore that negativity!

skiingstark · May 2016

@housewifehobbyist I got jock itch, it is as horrible as it sounds

beary67 · May 2016

@DoctorDonna I'm so sorry your family was so rude to you! If it weren't for teachers like you, none of us would be where we are today! I know it's hard, but brush off the hateful comments. You deserve your break!

mrsstuessy · May 2016

Rough Monday morning with all the BFNs. I'm sorry everyone. Be gentle to yourselves today.

Month/cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 24/4

Timing: -1, -3, -4

Testing: Sunday, at 10dpo for DH's graduation and partying.

R/R/CS: I am definitely in packing mode. 12 days until the move! I got a few more boxes done yesterday and want to just keep going. Unfortunately I need to sleep and take care of DD and make people food and stuff. And also I am starting to feel really sad about leaving the only home DD has every known in 12 days. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by how much everything is about to change. I just need to take deep breaths.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): You're given $1000 with the stipulation that you must spend it on yourself and it has to be spent by the end of the day. What do you buy?
This is a hard one, because everything that pops into my head is for other people. I would either go online and buy a whole bunch of cool books and tools for my doula business. Or, I would just go to the mall and shop around all day. I would definitely buy a Fossil purse if I went to the mall.

picklesplease · May 2016

Thanks @20T, @Lecool, and @beary67. It wasn't easy to take at the moment, but it just makes me more determined to do my job to the best of my abilities. I really do love my students and I don't think I could leave this career. I've worked too hard to get here.

kfair001 · May 2016

@teamginger nice timing!

@krisnicole23 sorry about the BFNs.

@DoctorDonna You go girl! Screw them. They obviously don’t know what they’re talking about! I’m sorry you have had a rough couple of days. *hugs!

@Marley629 I second the wardrobe response. I’ve been putting it off and putting it off because I assumed I’d be KU by now and thinking about maternity clothes but nope! Boo!

@20T You just reminded me that this weekend is a long weekend. That just made me feel so much better! Can’t wait!

@mrsstuessy Aww change is good though! It’s definitely tough to leave something that you’re so used to and has so many memories but I’m sure you’ll make even more in this new place!

daisy62103 · May 2016

Hi! I'm new and just posted an intro on the newbie thread. Jumping in!

Month/cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 25/10

Timing: -4 -2 -1

Testing: Friday if af hasn't shown. Tired of seeing bfns...

R/R/CS: Temps are still high-ish, but they've been weird since I started progesterone capsules. I'm really hoping this is the month so I don't have to start clomid and do iui next month. But, it hasn't happened the last 9 months, so I'm not optimistic.

GTKY (stolen from WTO): I don't typically spend much on myself. We're doing lots of home improvements on our house so I'd probably want to put it towards that- new lighting fixtures for starters.

Want a personalized experience?

TWW Monday
