R/R/CS: Nothing directly TTC related. I'm just dreading leaving again for Asia tomorrow. I'm annoyed that I'm having to go back because of the circumstances, I'm annoyed that I feel like I just freaking got back, I'm annoyed that it's a 24 hour travel day, I'm annoyed that my flat iron won't work there when it's 1 million percent humidity, I'm annoyed I'm going to miss my husband's birthday (last trip was our anniversary), and I'm annoyed that it's going to jack with my timing for FW. So I'm just all kinds of annoyed and I have a terrible attitude today.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? I got totally addicted to Sons of Anarchy. I am not a huge TV watcher, more for just background noise, but there have been quite a few really great shows. I also really, really liked Justified and I want to go back and rewatch it.
Good morning! DD had me up at 5:20 this morning so I was just waiting around for the WTO thread. Cycle/Month: 12/11
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: nothing at the moment
R/R/CS: I just ordered 50 more wondfo opks. This is the third time i've ordered a set of 50. The first two times I thought, no possible way will I need all of these!
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? I don't watch too much tv so there's nothing I really love, but I'm in season 3 of Homeland, and dh has gotten me into Wayward Pines.
@Krys - That is a lot of things going on! It does seem like you DID just get back from your last trip. That is terrible turnaround. I surely hope it does not mess with you FW. And boo to not being able to be there for H bday. That all just sucks all the way around
Cycle/Month: 23 / 28
CD: Whats behind window 25, Johnny??? O maybe??
WAYDTGKU: \ O?? Please??
R/R/CS: It is Monday. Cant really complain about anything. Went to dinner with the family for Fathers Day last night. Had a great time. H did not go because he had a migraine. But not long before I was ready to come home he texted me asking when I was going to be home cause he wanted some. *Suprize!!!* I was shocked. I said my goodbyes and went home and got some It was nice to not have to initiate. I think today will be the day I start working out again. I am going to ease into it, and not beat myself up over what I cant do, but focus on what I can and progressing. I did take out all of my CM data off my chart and just notated it. For some reason it makes me feel a little less anxious. Still waiting to O. *lesigh
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? I always HATED Archer. I thought it was so dumb. H loves the show and I always thought "What a DUMB boy show". Until recently when H put it on in bed and I couldnt help but listen. So then I peeked and started watching from the side of my eye. Now I watch it every day to catch up. H is happy as pig in sh!t
@GrabberBlue2010 - I'm getting back on the workout wagon, too. Not today because I have too much crap to do, but Wednesday. I figure it will help me burn off some of my bad attitude when I'm traveling. I'm on that trip until the 2nd, so once the shift is over, I have nothing to do until bed...so might as well work out some.
@Daisy621 Funny how that works with the OPKs isn't it? hah
WAYDTGKU: Hoping AF keeps it to less than 7 days this time then temping and (finally!) OPKS
R/R/CS: First PP cycle is in the books and it was a doozy. On to the next!
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? I can watch hours of Law & Order:SVU and I'm always surprised when I catch an episode I haven't seen before!
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, PNVs, P in V if you know what I mean!
R/R/CS: Yesterday my OPK was really dark, almost to the control line which I thought was weird since it was CD 9. Today the line is barely there. I think I had a random LH surge because this is way earlier than I usually O and I have had zero of my typical O symptoms. Either way, DH and I are HIO every other day until AF. I'm already exhausted and over it.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? DH and I just bingewatched Wentworth not too long ago so its my current fave. I recommend it.
@Krys Are you going for work? Maybe I missed a post referencing it in another thread. That stinks though for so many reasons @GrabberBlue2010 I hope O shows its face soon for you! Late O is so frustrating.. @Daisy621 I did the same thing, I love the wondfos, so cheap and easy! @Belocin Sorry for AF!
Cycle/Month: 8
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: Finally starting to BD, hoping for a +OPK and O this week!
R/R/CS: Bah, it's Monday. We had such a nice weekend and it felt really long. Two birthday parties, more house hunting, time at the lake, hiking, out for lunch for Father's Day. It was really nice. Just sad it's over! ETA: My Mabis BBT has given me 3 flat temps this month..I'm thinking it's on the fritz. I haven't loved the Mabis but have been using it for years. I've read recommendations for the BD BBT but can't find it anywhere online, suggestions?
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? Friends ~ the only show I can watch over and over and over and not get sick of it!
@TravelingCouple - yes, for work. I was just got back not even 3 weeks ago. I had to go retrain our main account executive there because he wasn't doing well (it was sink or swim time for him because it was his 6 month mark). Well, about 3 days after I got back from my last trip, they let us know they were replacing him which means I have to go back and get someone else up to speed. It's doubly frustrating because this vendor is at risk of us pulling out entirely, and they bring in an external hire to replace him. I would think, if I were in their shoes, I would not be rolling the dice on someone they can't directly vouch for....but that's me and they've haven't proven to be very logical thus far (we started operations with them in November of last year). Anyway, I' totally #badittude
WAYDTGKU: Letrozole 7.5mg, trigger, IUI, PNV, Baby Aspirin, Vitamin D
R/R/CS: I had my baseline ultrasound this morning. There was an 8mm follicle on my left ovary. The nurse said it could be on of three things. A follicle that is developing, left over fluid from a follicle that ovulated last cycle, or a cyst. The only way to tell will be when the results from my blood work come back in. I'm a bit anxious over it. If it's truly a NEW follicle developing, then I'll be happier than a pig in shit that my body has already started the process on it's own. If it's a cyst or fluid, I know they'll have me hold off on starting the Letrozole tonight, but then I'm not sure what they'll have me do. So I'm just anxiously waiting to hear from them. Or not. She said if everything was fine and it was just a new follicle, they wouldn't reach out and I will start the meds like normal and go back for a follicle scan on Monday.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? I also was a big Sons of Anarchy fan @Krys. Jax .... YUM. I also love forever and always the Gilmore Girls. Will & Grace.
@TravelingCouple - Yes, late O is frustrating. After cancelling our RE appts and going at it the good ole fashioned way until we can get back to the RE, I told DH, my "average O time is between X & X days." Well that surely did not happen. Of course this is the month that wants to be the odd one out. LOL. Having any luck with the house hunting? I am glad you made mention to BBT suggestions. I am using the WalMart brand and have for a couple years. Looking to maybe switch.
WAYDTGKU: BD, temping, OPKs, green tea R/R/CS: temp finally went up a little this morning. I just don't know what to think about not Oing until CD 21. At this point all I hope is that AF holds out for 10 days so I don't have to worry about a short LP because worry I will.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? I could watch 90210 every day for the rest of my life.
@Krys Ah that sucks that you have to go back so soon But good idea on using it as a chance to get some workouts in!
@travelingcouple I'm relatively new to temping - but 'flat-temps'? Does that mean the same temp 3 times in a row?
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD: 2 Sigh.
WAYDTGKU: Temping, charting, opks this month
R/R/CS: I bought these new nasal things for his nose, and DH didn't snore last night! OMG so glad. I still woke up at 4:45 to pee though, so i temped then. Fell back asleep and woke up 3 hours later and took my temp again and it was almost a full degree higher! So I'm going with the other temp. :P
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? Currently I love GoT and Outlander. Old shows wise, my all time favorite is X Files. I was so excited when they brought it back for 8 episodes earlier this year..
WAYDTGKU: Clomid + Ovidrel, HIO, Metformin R/R/CS: I have a quick ultrasound today to measure my follicle growth. My RE will tell me exactly what day to take the trigger shot as well. Should be sometime this week, if all goes well. I had like 3 or 4 hot flashes yesterday, and today I feel bloated, ugh. But, all good signs that Clomid is doing its job. It better be, anyway, because next Monday DH leaves for a business trip!
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? I love The Office. I've watched every single episode. Currently I'm watching Casual, on Hulu, and I really like that.
Cycle/Month: 5/5 CD: 14 WAYDTGKU: R/R/CS: FF is giving me crosshairs today (I don't temp because reasons, so it's going off OPK and CM), but gonna give it 'til tomorrow to switch threads just in case. Woke up with a fever and sore throat, so that's awesome. Taking the day off work. GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? Ummm... I can easily rewatch Twilight Zone whenever. Current TV show would probably be Jessica Jones or Daredevil.
R/R/CS: I'm have a really bad self esteem day. I feel ugly and awful and I can't shake it and H said something super crappy last night by accident that didn't help.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? One Tree Hill. Without a doubt. Let's Go Ravens.
WAYDTGKU: HIO every day starting today, cm/cp, OPK's, green tea, PNV's + B6
R/R/CS: Sooo I want to start HIO ED in case I O on CD 17 (average) but last month it wasn't until CD 21... I don't want DH to burn out too soon and then miss the really good days... hopefully the OPK's can give me some good insight, because my CM has been consistently uneventful, but better than usual I guess. DH and I were talking about how we are going to try to make this a really great cycle since we don't usually have awesome timing and driving back from his parents yesterday he goes "Well I don't want you to be upset if this isn't the month for us" and I said "Well I've tried being happy go lucky and saying it wasn't the right month each time, but pretty much from this cycle on I'm going to be upset if it doesn't happen, I can't keep up the optimism". I hate being a debbie downer because he is such a non worrier, but I can't help it.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)?
Game of Thrones. All day every day. I know some people say they can't get into it but it is literally the best show (IMO) of all time. So much emotion all the time!!! I'm going to be pretty upset when it ends in two seasons lol.
R/R/CS: It's going to be a long week. 45 hour work week and then we're out of state for the weekend. So glad we got out of going on a trip 4th of July weekend, traffic would've been bad and it's my FW, so happy H said he didn't want to go before I had to point that out.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? How I Met Your Mother, it's one of those shows you can somewhat just watch whatever episode is on and enjoy it without knowing all the details.
@belocin sorry for CD 1 But yay for OPK's! This is my first cycle using them and I'm really hoping they help me get my timing a little better this cycle!
@mrsdaddario Major FX for good news on your tests! Also may I ask what the baby aspirin is for? I've just never seen that listed in the WAYDTGKU
@mrsdee15 Game of Thrones! Game of Thrones! Did you watch last night?! I was biting my nails the whole time, like who are they gonna kill?! NOT JON! Not the red headed wildling Tormund! So intense lol
@TheJerilu What an adorable otter. What is going to be your daily gif theme for the TWW?!
GoT is my fave too. I was making a comment to DH last night that this season has been a little too...fan pleasing? I know a couple of good characters died, but I keep waiting for something on the order of the Red Wedding to happen. I'm afraid for next weeks finale lol.
@Schumerator The baby aspirin is supposed to help build a healthy uterine lining. The RE's nurse did say that it has never been scientifically proven to do so, but that it's something most RE's do recommend. Honestly it didn't help last cycle, as I ended up having to take Estrogen in pill form to thicken my lining. BUT, rules are rules and I'm a rule follower LOL.
R/R/CS: Got free tickets to a baseball game tonight! My friend's dad's company has seats and once a year we get to use the tickets. It's usually a weird day like a Monday, but you can't beat free.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? Right now? Orange is the New Black. I'm terrible about that show, whenever a new season comes out I binge watch the whole thing in about a week and then I'm sad that it's going to be a whole year before there's more.
@TheJerilu Feel better!! Hopefully you can relax all day and binge watch tv! @TravelingCouple Looks like we are in the same boat! FX for O soon!! @Dilynne Men sometimes have the worst timing don't they!? I know how you feel... in general I feel the most unattractive on a Monday. I will sometimes treat myself to a mask or bath on Monday nights for that reason. Feel better!! @clover28 Someone was just telling me about that show... I'm going to have to give it a shot! It's a crime show right? @Krys At least you are making the best of it! Some things are out of our control but it never makes it easier. @GrabberBlue2010 FX for O!! Cycle/Month: 6
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: HIO ED from here on out. Still BBT OPK and green tea.
R/R/CS: I had a moment this morning messing around with FF. I got up early to pee and temped then temped again at normal time about an hour and a half later. If I put in the later/higher temp I got CH which makes no sense considering my CM. I went with the earlier of the two. I'm just totally paranoid now.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? Currently GOT and whoa last night was intense!! Can't believe there is only one left @Schumerator@mrsdee15@hezzer78 I also loved how all the women were killing it in that episode!
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? Oh there so many. I'm a huge tv watcher, too @Krys. Right now, it's Orange is the new black, game of thrones, the bachelorette (yes, that's my indulgence) and Big Brother. @Saralee797@hezzer78@mrsdee15@Schumerator did anyone else have a Monica moment last night while watch GoT?

WAYDTGKU: I don't even know.
R/R/CS: I've been so consumed with end of the school year and also being over ttc that I've been reallyyyyy relaxed on temping and opks. I'm also really sad that my VIP FF subscription is ending in 13 days. I've been temping for a year... that's insane.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? Buffy the Vampire Slayer was my all-time favorite. I was obsessedddddd!

R/R/CS: I'm not quite sure what r/r/cs means so I'll use this as an opportunity to ask a question! Does anyone have any books that they would recommend reading? I have read "TCOYF", "Ina May's Guide to Child Birth" and am currently reading "Natural Hospital Birth: The Best of Both Worlds". I didn't realize how uniformed I am to the whole TTC process along with pregnancy and labor until I started lurking this board back in January. If anyone has any book recommendations for DH too I would certainly appreciate them. I want him to be informed and not a "deer in the headlights" during this process. I apologize if this is not the correct place to ask this question. All of you are so knowledgeable so I figured you would have some good recommendations!
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? The Bold and the Beautiful
@Krys Ugggghhhh that STINKS. I would be so annoyed too! It's not it's down the road or a drive away either. Ohhh FX big time for you @mrsdaddario that it's a new follicle! @GrabberBlue2010 Yeah, I hear you..it really makes planning sex even more annoying! We saw two houses over the weekend and neither one felt like a fit. I know we're just at the beginning of it still and we're not in any rush to move, so I'm trying to be patient. I suck at patience though. @hezzer78 Yeah it means getting the same temps multiple times. I got 96.84 twice and then 96.83, and some weird ass temp of 95.92 one day, which I discarded. It just seems ridiculously low. Sorry about CD2 @sammalama Good luck! @mrsdee15 Yeah I think today might be O day based on your OPKs @Dilynne OMG OTH...yessss, another fan! When I was on TB a few years ago when TTC DS, I had a OTH siggy gif and was known for that, haha. I was going to put OTH in my answer even, but haven't rewatched any of the seasons in forever! I took a few trips down to where they filmed though in Wilmington, NC while it was still airing and watched filming, met the cast, and just fell in love with the town. That show has such a special place in my heart!! @Schumerator Trying to balance timing sex and not 'burning out' is a very frustrating part of TTC, I agree! @swimsister DH and I are watching season 4 of OITNW now! @Saralee797 Yes hope you O soon too! @PennStateCait I binged all the Buffy DVDs in college bc my roommate loved it too, it's such cheesy goodness! @Basherbaby Seems like you have a good list there. Save the pregnancy/childbirth books for when you do get pregnant. TTC puts enough on your plate and you don't want to stress out thinking about everything you want/need to do when you get pregnant before you're even there. I read a lot of pregnancy books early on with my pregnancy of DS and found that I forgot most of the material by my third trimester so I was re-reading, haha. So there's that too. Just my two cents! Oh and R/R/CS stands for Rants/Raves/Concerns, unless it's changed over the years, but seems about right.
@Basherbaby R/R/CS means rants/raves/chart stalk but you can always ask questions too! All the abbreviations were really tough for me at first but there is a whole list under The Ultimate TTGP Guide in the discussion board section link here: https://www.thebump.com/community-glossary
Re: WTO Monday

WAYDTGKU: Temping and PNV right now
R/R/CS: Nothing directly TTC related. I'm just dreading leaving again for Asia tomorrow. I'm annoyed that I'm having to go back because of the circumstances, I'm annoyed that I feel like I just freaking got back, I'm annoyed that it's a 24 hour travel day, I'm annoyed that my flat iron won't work there when it's 1 million percent humidity, I'm annoyed I'm going to miss my husband's birthday (last trip was our anniversary), and I'm annoyed that it's going to jack with my timing for FW. So I'm just all kinds of annoyed and I have a terrible attitude today.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? I got totally addicted to Sons of Anarchy. I am not a huge TV watcher, more for just background noise, but there have been quite a few really great shows. I also really, really liked Justified and I want to go back and rewatch it.

I'm already exhausted and over it.

WAYDTGKU: Finally starting to BD, hoping for a +OPK and O this week!
R/R/CS: Bah, it's Monday. We had such a nice weekend and it felt really long. Two birthday parties, more house hunting, time at the lake, hiking, out for lunch for Father's Day. It was really nice. Just sad it's over! ETA: My Mabis BBT has given me 3 flat temps this month..I'm thinking it's on the fritz. I haven't loved the Mabis but have been using it for years. I've read recommendations for the BD BBT but can't find it anywhere online, suggestions?

WAYDTGKU: Letrozole 7.5mg, trigger, IUI, PNV, Baby Aspirin, Vitamin D
R/R/CS: I had my baseline ultrasound this morning. There was an 8mm follicle on my left ovary. The nurse said it could be on of three things. A follicle that is developing, left over fluid from a follicle that ovulated last cycle, or a cyst. The only way to tell will be when the results from my blood work come back in. I'm a bit anxious over it. If it's truly a NEW follicle developing, then I'll be happier than a pig in shit that my body has already started the process on it's own. If it's a cyst or fluid, I know they'll have me hold off on starting the Letrozole tonight, but then I'm not sure what they'll have me do. So I'm just anxiously waiting to hear from them. Or not. She said if everything was fine and it was just a new follicle, they wouldn't reach out and I will start the meds like normal and go back for a follicle scan on Monday.

WAYDTGKU: BD, temping, OPKs, green tea
R/R/CS: temp finally went up a little this morning. I just don't know what to think about not Oing until CD 21. At this point all I hope is that AF holds out for 10 days so I don't have to worry about a short LP because worry I will.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? I could watch 90210 every day for the rest of my life.
@travelingcouple I'm relatively new to temping - but 'flat-temps'? Does that mean the same temp 3 times in a row?
Cycle/Month: 4/4
CD: 2 Sigh.
WAYDTGKU: Temping, charting, opks this month
R/R/CS: I bought these new nasal things for his nose, and DH didn't snore last night! OMG so glad. I still woke up at 4:45 to pee though, so i temped then. Fell back asleep and woke up 3 hours later and took my temp again and it was almost a full degree higher! So I'm going with the other temp. :P
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? Currently I love GoT and Outlander. Old shows wise, my all time favorite is X Files. I was so excited when they brought it back for 8 episodes earlier this year..

WAYDTGKU: Clomid + Ovidrel, HIO, Metformin
R/R/CS: I have a quick ultrasound today to measure my follicle growth. My RE will tell me exactly what day to take the trigger shot as well. Should be sometime this week, if all goes well. I had like 3 or 4 hot flashes yesterday, and today I feel bloated, ugh. But, all good signs that Clomid is doing its job. It better be, anyway, because next Monday DH leaves for a business trip!
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? I love The Office. I've watched every single episode. Currently I'm watching Casual, on Hulu, and I really like that.

R/R/CS:
FF is giving me crosshairs today (I don't temp because reasons, so it's going off OPK and CM), but gonna give it 'til tomorrow to switch threads just in case. Woke up with a fever and sore throat, so that's awesome. Taking the day off work.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)?
Ummm... I can easily rewatch Twilight Zone whenever. Current TV show would probably be Jessica Jones or Daredevil.

WAYDTGKU: HIO every day starting today, cm/cp, OPK's, green tea, PNV's + B6
R/R/CS: Sooo I want to start HIO ED in case I O on CD 17 (average) but last month it wasn't until CD 21... I don't want DH to burn out too soon and then miss the really good days... hopefully the OPK's can give me some good insight, because my CM has been consistently uneventful, but better than usual I guess. DH and I were talking about how we are going to try to make this a really great cycle since we don't usually have awesome timing and driving back from his parents yesterday he goes "Well I don't want you to be upset if this isn't the month for us" and I said "Well I've tried being happy go lucky and saying it wasn't the right month each time, but pretty much from this cycle on I'm going to be upset if it doesn't happen, I can't keep up the optimism". I hate being a debbie downer because he is such a non worrier, but I can't help it.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)?
Game of Thrones. All day every day. I know some people say they can't get into it but it is literally the best show (IMO) of all time. So much emotion all the time!!! I'm going to be pretty upset when it ends in two seasons lol.

R/R/CS: It's going to be a long week. 45 hour work week and then we're out of state for the weekend. So glad we got out of going on a trip 4th of July weekend, traffic would've been bad and it's my FW, so happy H said he didn't want to go before I had to point that out.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? How I Met Your Mother, it's one of those shows you can somewhat just watch whatever episode is on and enjoy it without knowing all the details.
@GrabberBlue2010 FX for O very soon!
@belocin sorry for CD 1
@TravelingCouple Friends lover for life here too!
@mrsdaddario Major FX for good news on your tests! Also may I ask what the baby aspirin is for? I've just never seen that listed in the WAYDTGKU
@mrsdee15 Game of Thrones! Game of Thrones! Did you watch last night?! I was biting my nails the whole time, like who are they gonna kill?! NOT JON! Not the red headed wildling Tormund! So intense lol
@TheJerilu What an adorable otter. What is going to be your daily gif theme for the TWW?!
edited: posted before I was done answering
@mrsdee15
GoT is my fave too. I was making a comment to DH last night that this season has been a little too...fan pleasing? I know a couple of good characters died, but I keep waiting for something on the order of the Red Wedding to happen. I'm afraid for next weeks finale lol.

WAYDTGKU: Doin' it.+ temping, CM
R/R/CS: Got free tickets to a baseball game tonight! My friend's dad's company has seats and once a year we get to use the tickets. It's usually a weird day like a Monday, but you can't beat free.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? Right now? Orange is the New Black. I'm terrible about that show, whenever a new season comes out I binge watch the whole thing in about a week and then I'm sad that it's going to be a whole year before there's more.
@TravelingCouple Looks like we are in the same boat! FX for O soon!!
@Dilynne Men sometimes have the worst timing don't they!? I know how you feel... in general I feel the most unattractive on a Monday. I will sometimes treat myself to a mask or bath on Monday nights for that reason. Feel better!!
@clover28 Someone was just telling me about that show... I'm going to have to give it a shot! It's a crime show right?
@Krys At least you are making the best of it! Some things are out of our control but it never makes it easier.
@GrabberBlue2010 FX for O!!

WAYDTGKU: HIO ED from here on out. Still BBT OPK and green tea.
R/R/CS: I had a moment this morning messing around with FF. I got up early to pee and temped then temped again at normal time about an hour and a half later. If I put in the later/higher temp I got CH which makes no sense considering my CM. I went with the earlier of the two. I'm just totally paranoid now.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? Currently GOT and whoa last night was intense!! Can't believe there is only one left @Schumerator @mrsdee15 @hezzer78 I also loved how all the women were killing it in that episode!

R/R/CS: Still waiting on O. Nothing to report.
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? Oh there so many. I'm a huge tv watcher, too @Krys. Right now, it's Orange is the new black, game of thrones, the bachelorette (yes, that's my indulgence) and Big Brother. @Saralee797 @hezzer78 @mrsdee15 @Schumerator did anyone else have a Monica moment last night while watch GoT?

R/R/CS: I'm not quite sure what r/r/cs means so I'll use this as an opportunity to ask a question! Does anyone have any books that they would recommend reading? I have read "TCOYF", "Ina May's Guide to Child Birth" and am currently reading "Natural Hospital Birth: The Best of Both Worlds". I didn't realize how uniformed I am to the whole TTC process along with pregnancy and labor until I started lurking this board back in January. If anyone has any book recommendations for DH too I would certainly appreciate them. I want him to be informed and not a "deer in the headlights" during this process. I apologize if this is not the correct place to ask this question. All of you are so knowledgeable so I figured you would have some good recommendations!
GTKY: What is your favorite TV show (current or old)? The Bold and the Beautiful
Ohhh FX big time for you @mrsdaddario that it's a new follicle!
@GrabberBlue2010 Yeah, I hear you..it really makes planning sex even more annoying! We saw two houses over the weekend and neither one felt like a fit. I know we're just at the beginning of it still and we're not in any rush to move, so I'm trying to be patient. I suck at patience though.
@hezzer78 Yeah it means getting the same temps multiple times. I got 96.84 twice and then 96.83, and some weird ass temp of 95.92 one day, which I discarded. It just seems ridiculously low. Sorry about CD2
@sammalama Good luck!
@mrsdee15 Yeah I think today might be O day based on your OPKs
@Dilynne OMG OTH...yessss, another fan! When I was on TB a few years ago when TTC DS, I had a OTH siggy gif and was known for that, haha. I was going to put OTH in my answer even, but haven't rewatched any of the seasons in forever! I took a few trips down to where they filmed though in Wilmington, NC while it was still airing and watched filming, met the cast, and just fell in love with the town. That show has such a special place in my heart!!
@Schumerator Trying to balance timing sex and not 'burning out' is a very frustrating part of TTC, I agree!
@swimsister DH and I are watching season 4 of OITNW now!
@Saralee797 Yes hope you O soon too!
@PennStateCait I binged all the Buffy DVDs in college bc my roommate loved it too, it's such cheesy goodness!
@Basherbaby Seems like you have a good list there. Save the pregnancy/childbirth books for when you do get pregnant. TTC puts enough on your plate and you don't want to stress out thinking about everything you want/need to do when you get pregnant before you're even there. I read a lot of pregnancy books early on with my pregnancy of DS and found that I forgot most of the material by my third trimester so I was re-reading, haha. So there's that too. Just my two cents! Oh and R/R/CS stands for Rants/Raves/Concerns, unless it's changed over the years, but seems about right.
R/R/CS means rants/raves/chart stalk but you can always ask questions too! All the abbreviations were really tough for me at first but there is a whole list under The Ultimate TTGP Guide in the discussion board section link here: https://www.thebump.com/community-glossary
