  • @felix08 mmmm mimosas!

    @mrsstuessy that's so sweet of your hubby! He sounds super supportive and awesome!
  • @FrancesGrace630 I love starting my Saturday with a good workout! Makes me feel great the rest of the day :) also do you want to share your baked oatmeal recipe?! That sounds amazing!

    @BusinessWife Awww congrats to your little pup! Mine is a year old and now and she is pretty good and sweet as can be but I really should get her training...

    @Kiki75 congrats on the savings! Such a good feeling! I love budgeting cuz I'm a big weirdo  :#

    @Scarlett830 FX for O! Not that it means anything but that temp also looks like my post O temps :)

    @felix08 what CD do you usually O around? I would love to O so early! But probably annoying if it catches you off guard lol. EOD is still good timing though!

    @mrsstuessy that is so sweet of your husband. It's nice when they say/do something that let you know they are just as invested as you are, love it!

    @PepperAT yes to the PNV question! It annoyed me so much and someone recommended taking them at night so it doesn't affect you so now any vitamins I take, I take after dinner/before bed and I feel nothing :) try it out!

    ETA: I used to just assume you had to take vitamins in the morning because that's what everyone does... Kinda funny! 
  • @FrancesGrace630 I had started a new workout class this week. I'm so sore in the best way. I hope your sweaty workout was awesome!

    @BusinessWife my dog got certificates from puppy class too. I have them all on the refrigerator. We also celebrated her birthday with puppy ice cream yesterday. Haha

    @kiki75 way to be positive and yay for another month of saving money. 

    @Felix08 I understand wanting to have a regular cycle so bad. I hope that this is your cycle, regular or not. 

    @mrsstuessy That's good that your husband is getting more involved. :smile:

    WAYDTGKU: all the things 

    R/R/CS: question! 

    I I woke up to use the restroom at 6 this morning (I had to get my toddler at 3:30, so this wasn't quite 3 hours of sleep), I'm suppose to temp at 7:30 but I went ahead and did it. Temp registered at 95.52 which is a huge dip. My OPKs were almost positive yesterday, but turned completely negative (like no test line at all) as of this morning. 

    When my my alarm when off at 7:30, I tested again. This time my temp was 97.89. That's A huge spike for me. 

    Which temp do I keep? They have such a big margin between them, I'm not sure. 

    GTKY:  What is your favourite breakfast/brunch food? It's a toss up between bacon and hash browns. I love breakfast food!

  • Great advice, @BusinessWife! I definitely intend to keep HIO and can hopefully seduce DH tonight and tomorrow (apparently my stamina > DH's).

    @delujm0 FX for O and a longer LP! My cycles are still wonky from BFing too, and while I wish they'd even out, I'm not ready to wean DS yet.

    That sucks about your BBT, @Schumerator!

    Glad you're feeling better today @RedBreast35. Wine definitely helps!

    @PepperAT I take the gummy PNVs so I don't get the stomach upset but it can be a common side effect from the regular ones. Minerals and iron can be very caustic to the stomach.

    @linzrunz here's to your upcoming FW and the fun part of TTC!
  • @PepperAT @Schumerator My DH gets such an upset tummy from his vitamins, he always has to eat ENOUGH to take his vitamins and not have them make him queasy and lightheaded.  I'm the same way kind of, I just broke my whole fistfull up into multiple portions, and I don't take too much until I've eaten plenty, even if it's like lunchtime before I get to it.  Also, I highly recommend the trainer we used, but I don't know how to find another one like her who comes to your house!  She was actually really reasonably priced, I thought, and so sweet, totally local neighbour pretty much, like would be happy to drop by and help us throughout the week if we ever needed a refresher.  I can't say enough good things!

    @linzrunz Pumpkin Pancakes!  That sounds great!  I need the butter though, too... mmmm... butter....

    @LadyMillil  OMG nutella crepes.  Bestill my heart.

    @MollyandD Aww, happy belated birthday to your furpup!  Puppy ice cream sounds delish!
  • edited June 2016
    @Skyjewell23 ***ETA IMHO*** 6AM is way too early to have a reliable temp.  I would keep it in your notes, but use the 7:30AM time, just note it "sleep deprived" because your being up and about 90 min prior could also artificially elevate it.  But FF will try to sort it out, so just do your best and see what else they do in the next few days.

    @RedBreast35 Oh I hear you on the mobile ap makin a girl SMASHY!  lol

    WAYDTGKU: Just letting it happen.

    R/R/CS: My period is now 5 days late. Aside from my first pregnancy I've not been late since I was a teenager. Taken a test every morning since Wednesday. All negatives. No early symptoms. My 3 year old came into the bathroom as I was getting out of the shower this morning and I told him that Mommy might have a baby in her belly. He said "Awww, I love the baby. Can it be a girl baby?" And then he came and hugged and kissed my belly. 
    So I really hope there is a sweet little baby in there for him.

    GTKY: Spanish Omelette. With salsa and sour cream on top. Tall glass of OJ.

    WAYDTGKU:  Temping, vitamins, CM/CP, OPKs.... The usual.  

    R/R/CS:  Just kinda feeling down.  But I'm trying to cheer up, it's Saturday!

    GTKY:  What is your favourite breakfast/brunch food?  Do mimosas count as a food?  I love a good crab/lobster Benedict.  There's a place here on the beach with the BEST (and most amazingly-priced) Benedicts, and $10 bottles of champagne for mimosas.  Mmmmm.

    CD: 1  :-(

    WAYDTGKU:  Well, nothing right now.

    R/R/CS:  My original plan was to wait and test tomorrow, but I tested yesterday morning on a cheapie.  BFN, then I started spotting.  I told my husband when he got home that I wasn't pregnant and started spotting and that I had it all planned out to give him an early Father's Day card and tell him he was going to be a daddy again and I was going to dress DS up in a shirt that said big brother on the front...so of course I started bawling during all of this.  He was really sweet about it and ended up taking me out on a great date.  We saw Warcraft in IMAX 3D and I'm still in awe.  Now I'm sitting here eating chocolate chips out of the bag and thinking about the beer I'm going to drink tonight.

    GTKY:  What is your favourite breakfast/brunch food?  ALL OF IT.  But I do love me a fancy omelette.
  • @mrsdee15 No problem!  I love waking up Saturdays and deciding, hmmm what do I want to make for BREAKFASSSSSST!!!  nom nom nom  Also, I started it on mobile, so that's probably why the thought of bolding didn't even cross my mind. lol

    @PennStateCait Aww, I'm so sorry you're feeling over it this cycle.  It has already been a journey, and I'm sure most of us thought we'd be KU by now.  Some people really enjoy taking a break from temping, others it makes them more batty.  What if you just waited till you confirmed O and then waited out AF/your test date?  (((hugs)))

    @clover28 Oh dear, so sorry about CD1, meltdown and all ((hugs))  Your DH sounds like he was super sweet about it though.  Now pass the chocolate chips, please!!!! :D

    @delujm0 I have long been curious how being post-baby/breastfeeding affects cycles.  Like I've heard of women intentionally tapering off the BF in order to TTGP?
  • @FrancesGrace630 Do tell me about this baked oatmeal.  Can you make it in little muffin tins for portions to eat throughout the week?

    @BusinessWife Aww, congrats to your puppy!  You better frame that certificate ;-)

    @Kiki75 Enjoy that latte!  Get an extra shot of espresso!

    @Scarlett830 -3 and O is still pretty dang good.  Can you try and get +1 in as well?

    @felix08 Your mimosa picture made me laugh.  It's so true though.  Like, I don't want OJ, I want to day drink. 

    @mrsstuessy That is so sweet that your DH did research on BBT!! It helps so much to have a supportive partner that is completely on board.  Enjoy the birthday party today and stay cool.

    @delujm0 I still don't understand how people tandem breastfeed.  I can't manage to get KU even while just BFing once a day.  I don't even feel a let down but sometimes I hand express after to see if I'm even making milk anymore, which I am.  My LPs are also super short since I've had DS.

    @Schumerator Amen on the post-biscuit and gravy naps.  Is there anything more glorious?

    @RedBreast35 I hear you on the mobile Bump hulk smashes.  I'm computer bumping today.

    @PepperAT My old brand of PNVs made me super nauseated.  Now I take the gummy ones and they seem easier on the belly.

    @linzrunz Breakfast for dinner is my favorite!!! Mostly because it's super easy and quick, usually.

    @MollyandD Tell me about this Barre class.  Is it all ballet type stuff?  Is there any cardio?

    @Skyjewell23 That is so hard since there is such a large margin between them....You may just have to see what happens with tomorrow's temp.  Hopefully you O'd and can take the higher one!

    @KirstinH88 Have fun at the swap meet!

    @CourtneyJo92609 Hey girlie, I think you may be wanting to post on the TWW! 






  • @BusinessWife a lot of people find they have to fully wean to get pregnant again but I'm hoping I won't have to...I mean my cycles came back when DD had just turned 6 months and was still taking in about 32oz of breastmilk a day.  It would be so mean for them to come back for no reason!  I'm with @clover28 though. No clue how tandem breastfeeding is even a thing.  If I got pregnant I'd probably force DD to fully wean before third tri just to give my poor nipples a short break before destroying them again...but I'm hoping she'll do that on her own over the next 3-6 months anyway.  We'll see.  I work full time so other than night time I pump and bottle feed all day which I hate.  I just want to hold on to the actual nursing past 1 year if at all possible.

    If I get mastitis one more time though, all bets are off.  I've had it 3 times in the past 3 months.
  • So sorry for CD1 @clover28

    @Schumerator here is the recipe for the baked oatmeal!
    ETA @clover28 I don't know if it would work in a muffin tin, but I have stored it for the week and just heated up a portion every morning and that has worked well. 

    2 cups rolled oats

    1/3 cup brown sugar + 1 tablespoon for top

    1 teaspoon baking powder

    1 teaspoon cinnamon

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1 cup raspberries

    1/3 cup blueberries

    2 cups milk 

    1 large egg

    3 tablespoons butter, melted

    2 tablespoons vanilla extract

    1 ripe banana, peeled, 1/2-inch slices

    Method

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F and generously spray the inside of a 10-1/2 by 7 inch baking dish with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet. If you do not have that size-baking dish, a 9 by 13 pan is fine, will be a bit thinner, but just as yummy.

    2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and half the berries.(Save the other half of berries for the top of the oatmeal). In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, butter, and vanilla extract.

    3. Add the oat mixture to prepared baking dish. Arrange the remaining berries on top. Add the banana slices to the top then pour the milk mixture over everything. Gently shake the baking dish to help the milk mixture go throughout the oats.

    4. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is nicely golden brown and the milk mixture has set. For an extra tasty top, sprinkle a tablespoon or so of extra brown sugar. You can place brown sugar on top before baking or add when casserole is finished baking and broil for a couple of minutes.

  • @delujm0 Ughh sorry about the mastitis, I really hope you don't get it again! Idk how women tandem BF either, but a few of my mom friends do. I wouldn't be against trying it if I end up getting KTFU while still BF DS and he continues throughout my pregnancy. We shall see!

    CD: 8

    WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK, acupuncture

    R/R/CS: Finally remembered to temp this morning and ugh, it's so low. Idk why my low temps bum me out so much. My acupuncturist said she'd rather see them higher but that it's the temp shift that matters more.

    GTKY:  What is your favourite breakfast/brunch food? Omg anything..that's my favorite meal of the day! Pancakes, oatmeal, waffles, cereal, yogurt..yup, I could have breakfast for every meal.

    @Clover28 it uses a ballet bar. It's a lot of strength and endurance stuff, but man my heart was racing. Each time I've been, there's been a different instructor, since I've gone three different days. I used the ballet bar for certain types of squats where you go really low with your butt out, among other things. The majority of the time, though, I didn't use the bar. The ball and weights were used much more.

    Lookup barre3 and you can find videos online. It's a lot of small movements that seem easy at first. Then, 500 reps later, you want to rip off your legs.

    This video uses a chair instead of a ballet bar, but it's the same stuff, other than that.

    @FrancesGrace630 good for you for working out on a Saturday morning! Wish I had that ambition!

    @BusinessWife Puppy certificate?! How cute. What breed is your puppy? 

    @PepperAT I switched to the vita fusion gummies bc other pnv were making me nauseous. I have a super weak stomach.

    @TheMrs  thanks for asking!  The puppy is a white german shepherd! :)  I would post a pic if I weren't mobile bumping right now, but hes not quite 6 months old yet.  Do you have dogs, too?

    @Sugargirl1019 oh, woman... I am so very sorry for your loss, and I think it's totally understandable to feel conflicted, given the circumstances.  (((Hugs)))  how long did you stay benched?  One way or another, I do think it's important to take all the time you need, and vent all you need, too!

    *Edited bc TB chopped my post.*
  • @Sugargirl1019 so sorry for your loss. I understand your anxiety about ttcal, it's very mixed feelings.
