GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?

KirstinH88 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 9/8 (5/4 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 29/11

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, O, +1

Testing:

R/R: Testing tmrw so I've got to stop at the store after work and pick up a couple HPTs. You know, because I can't just take one.

Also, the bib that I bought to surprise DH with if we ever get a BFP should be here today. At least that's the estimated delivery date, but the last time it was tracked was leaving Philadelphia (opposite coast) Tuesday night, so who knows.

CS/Q: I've tried googling, but couldn't really find anything, but what does it mean if your temps have been stable during the TWW? My temps typically have peaks and valleys and looks like a mountain range. But this month, my TWW temps have been SUPER stable. Other than 2 temps, they have all been within .2 degrees of each other.

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?

Pet peeve: I'm not sure. We don't go on vacation often. Maybe when we go to Mexico to visit DH's family and we have to shower in cold water. It's the worst.

Favorite: Being away from the normal stress and monotony of everyday life. No work! New things to see, do, and eat. Spending time and having fun with DH and the kids.

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: -4, O

Testing: still holding out...

R/R: I've got to hand it to DH, he's really trying. I told him that AF is impending and he responded "but how do you know?? I've read that the symptoms are the same as being pregnant."

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?

This is going to sound strange, but I really hate drinking heavily on vacation. To some people (a lot of my friends), vacation is a time to let loose and party. That's just not relaxing to me. We go to St. Thomas every year and bring some friends. I'm the one wanting to curl up in bed while everyone else is passing around the rum. Favorite thing depends on the location...I do love just lying on the beach with a good book but also exploring new places.

GrabberBlue2010 · July 2016

Considering the way work has went this week, getting on here before the boss gets here is the only "me" time I am going to have. So.... sorry for posting then ghosting for a bit. All this work and no time to bump is really putting the stick in my mud...

Month/Cycle: 29 / 23

CD/DPO: 56 / 7

Timing: -4 & O

Testing: nope.. not even letting it enter my brain.

R/R: I am pretty ready to go home. I feel so bloated and I am very uncomfortable. I will begin interviews today to fill positions at my job, while also secretly looking for an amazing candidate to hopefully keep in my back pocket to hire if tomorrows second phone interview goes well, and I get hired. So FX on that one.
DH and I played xbox all evening until it was time for bed. It is such a relaxing hobby and I think I am slightly obsessed. It DOES take my mind off work and TTC. Is it bad that I am just counting the minutes till I can go home and play?? hehe

CS/Q: Nope.

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?
Biggest pet peeve is when people want to schedule things. No. Don't. This is not life. You are taking a break from life. Go with the flow. Now if you are doing a tour or an excursion or something that NEEDS to be scheduled, then yes, absolutely do it. But do we need to schedule the rest of the day and plan out an itinerary? No. Sorry. You go on with your planning selves

Favorite thing about vacation? Other than NOT BEING AT WORK? LOL. The food and the experiences new places, with my hubby who loves to experience it all with me

delujm0 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 7 (NTNP)

CD/DPO: 25/probably 2 (FF still says 6, but with one more high temp tomorrow it will switch to agree with me at 2)

Timing: O

Testing: Probably not unless I get to 14dpo without a temp drop

R/R: My current dotted CHs on CD 19 are super annoying to me for some reason...haha. nothing much to report here, just hoping to get back to my pre-baby 14 day LP these next few cycles. That would be sweet. Now that I'm back at the gym daily, I am sleeping like a baby, so I think my temps are going to probably be more consistent in the next cycle. Previously I was waking several times a night, so I wasn't always confident in my temps.

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation? When I'm on a real vacation, I don't know that I have a pet peeve...when I'm on "vacation" like staying with family, my pet peeve is that we sleep in a king bed at home but never have more than a queen anywhere else, so it's hard to get comfortable and also hard to get far enough away from DH to drown out his snoring. I'm spoiled. My favorite thing about vacation is pretending that I don't have a job and doing whatever I want all day, in a new fun environment. I love vacations. I can't wait until my current and future children are old enough to take places other than to visit family, the beach, and Disney World (I love Disney World, and have gone there multiple times as an adult, but I'd like to mix up the vacation options occasionally).

linzrunz · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 22/6

Timing: -3, 0

Testing: Starting 10 dpo

R/R: it's our anniversary!!! 9 years which is quite the feat because I wasn't sure we would make it to 8. Seriously. But we did so yay!! We are headed up to the lake to try out paddle boarding for the first time. Should be fun (and funny).

CS/Q: nope. BSC is starting. Usually I have a 6 dpo temp dip. But I didn't today. That means things!!

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?

pet peeve: not being home. I'm an introvert and a homebody. I like my routine. Vacation takes me out of that. Also packing sucks.

Favorite: crossing things off my bucket list. I love trying new things. But only if I've researched them and had time to plan. Nothing spontaneous.

hartmich · July 2016

@KirstinH88 I only have wondfos and a crappy blue dye! I'm worried it's not enough! Haha. But for real.

@momtoleo That's really cute about your DH reading up on things! Mine asked when AF was due and I said "oh like a week or so..." because I know he'll be disappointed with a BFN. But then again, so will I! I agree about the drinking a lot on vacation - especially if it's somewhere hot, it can be exhausting.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 30/11

Timing: -4,-1,+1

Testing: Tomorrow - I'm terrified. My hopes are way too high.

R/R: I'm struggling with the concept of not living like you're pregnant until you are. How do you do this?! I feel like every time we try to plan an event in the future, my brain automatically jumps to "if I'm pregnant, then..."

CS/Q: Not today.

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?

My biggest pet peeve is silly but it happens every time in my family... when it comes to deciding what to do for dinner, everyone says they don't care. Just pick something!

My favorite thing is relaxing on the beach all day (I'm a beach vacation only person) and then barely getting ready (letting hair air dry, little makeup etc) and heading out for seafood. Never. Gets. Old.

saralee797-2 · July 2016

CD1 ya'll... welp see ya later or really FX that I don't! Good luck!!

GrabberBlue2010 · July 2016

Ekzerr · July 2016

@linzrunz happy anniversary!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 24/9

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, O, +1, +2

Testing: If AF doesn't show up

R/R: Pokemon go came out in Canada the other day and it is SO fun! Love it

CS/Q: TMI...would red tinged CM be considered spotting?

GTKY: pet peeve about vacation - I agree about planning a daily itinerary! You're on vacation, definitely go with the flow!

favourite thing about vacation - exploring and seeing new places, relaxing, trying new food, everything!

saralee797-2 · July 2016

@GrabberBlue2010 Thanks girl. I knew it was coming so it made it a little less painful! I'm ready for a new cycle which is hopefully normal!!

berg · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 22/9

Timing: -2,+3

Testing: Only if I miss AF.

R/R: Have to go get drug tested for the new job. There is nothing to worry about, yet I'm nervous.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? I LOVE sun. However my body does not have the same feelings. So normally the first day or two of vacay on an island (or lets be honest a Saturday at the beach), I have to be really careful of how long I'm in the sun or else I'll get sick. It doesn't matter how much water I drink. My body just gets weird about it. It needs time to adjust. Growing up I threw up on EVERY vacation we took. Good times.
And then your favorite thing about vacation? Every. Single. Thing.

jackiemarie1989-2 · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 19/4. Probably. CH is dotted and my CM doesn't line up with that, but my temps have been consistently high for 4 days now, so.

Timing: No bueno. Newb with a learning curve ova here.

Testing: Only if late.

R/R: None today

CS/Q: Whilst lurking, I have seen several people reference alcohol affecting their Temps. Does it make your temp go up or down? And can one glass of wine affect it or does it have to be a lot?

GTKY: pet peeve: packing, unpacking, and dealing with extended family members that nitpick everything. We still do family vacations with all my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. It's a big crowd. I love them, but some of em I need in small doses
Best thing about vacation: Um, not working! Also not feeling guilty about eating whatever I want
@momtoleo, I always get excited about drinking on vacation and then after I'm there for one day I don't feel the need to anymore. Probably because day drinking+sun=migraine for me
@linzrunz Happy Anniversary! 9 years is something to celebrate

Lots of ladies testing tomorrow it seems, I have my fx for you

hezzer78 · July 2016

@kirstinh88 I googled it and apparently, the temps in the LP should be stable - within 0.2 degrees of one another. Not quite sure what it means if they're not.. but I got that off an acupuncture site so I imagine their answer would be 'get acupuncture!'

@grabberblue2010 FX for you and your second interview!! And yes, Xbox sounds amazing. I've got to find a game DH and I can play together. He loves Fifa - I don't. I also can't do FPS's bc they make me nauseous

I wish there was like a mario kart for xbox lol..

@linzrunz Congrats on 9 years!! That's great!!

@hartmich I do that all the time

We're trying to decide if we want to go on vacation over Thanksgiving holiday (I get a week off). We're torn between 'Last amazing vacation before baby!' and 'What if I'm already pregnant???' We're looking at Hong Kong right now (super crazy cheap deals from our city), but IDK - we may just go somewhere stateside instead

@Saralee797

@jackiemarie1989 Alcohol just jacks with my system period. Whenever I drink a lot (a lot to me is more than 2 drinks), I can't sleep well and wake up throughout the night. This throws my temps off, of course - typically higher than they should be at that point in my cycle. I tend to discard those temps. I don't see much of any difference if I drink 2 or less drinks - but that's my body and my metabolism. Your mileage may vary.

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 33/9

Timing: -3, -2, +1

Testing:Tomorrow - 10 DPO is prob too early but idgaf.

R/R: Got a huge temp spike today - not sure what it means if anything, probably nothing, but it was weird. No big temp drops, so I guess that's the important thing. Still having some AF like cramps, so we will see what happens.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?

Pet Peeve: Probably packing - and the plane flight. I realize both are necessary evils, but I tend to overpack bc I'm afraid of being without something I may need, and I just hate flying. Like, hate it. It gives me panic attacks

I guess that's not really a pet peeve... more just a dislike

Favorite Thing: Eating/drinking all I want with little to no guilt, experiencing different cultures and seeing unique sights!

LilyGracesMommy · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 7(NTNP)/1 (straight up trying)

CD/dpo: 21/5dpo

timing: shitty -3 only ( darn stomach bug!) ... But it was at like 1030p ( ... So closer to -2? Lol) the BSC is strong this cycle

Testing: well as I said the BSC has started so today at 5dpo, BFN ( obviously!! Not sure what else I was expecting) thinking I'll try to go at least to 8dpo and then start using up some ICs (can't believe I wasted a FRER today! Ugh so mad at myself)

R/R: I am a google whore. Everyday after I take my temp I have a new bbt pattern/shift to obsess on... I feel like a crazy person!!

CS/Q: not really, post O temps barely hovered above cover line 1dpo-3dpo with a 0.1 dip below on 4dpo and then up 0.5 today at 5dpo... Too early for implantation ( something about an estrogen dip before progesterone takes over)... As I said Google and me are bffs till AF shows.

GTKY: pet peeve is unpacking!! And second the heavy drinking @momtoleo we recently went to Disney and 1-2 drinks was plenty! Not sure how people can day drink all day, especially there!

also happy anniversary @linzrunz

GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS!?

CS/Q:

Tentatively coming over here. Second day of a temp rise if I discard my two freaky high temps from this weekend. Hoping I get cross hairs for Tuesday once they show up, because LOOK AT THAT TIMING.

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?
My biggest pet peeve is other people. Partner and I actually jive pretty well with what we picture for an "ideal vaction". In our books, that means DOING STUFF CONSTANTLY. We usually do four days of action with one day rest. Other people are totally content with going somewhere and just relaxing, but that's not our bag. It's fine if everybody is on the same page but sometimes we've butted heads over other people being upset that we go on without them or us being stressed that we're not including them enough (even if they don't want to be included).

Like everybody will probably say, my favorite thing is getting away from the grind.

PurpleRains · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 23/5

Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1, 1, 2

Testing: If/when AF is late

R/R: I’m pretty excited for all the ladies who are testing tomorrow! I hope the grad thread is FULL!

SO, on my way out the door this morning, DH asked what I did different with my makeup (I am a makeup addict). I didn’t do anything different and said such…he just said “Oh” so I asked if it was better or worse and he just said “It looks different, that’s all.” So cue the BSC because now I’m wondering if I look like a troll with lipstick. Stop, brain, just stop.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?
We walk everywhere when we vacation. We walked seven miles a day in Savannah. I love it but I have super sensitive feet so they hurt so bad every morning. I LOVE exploring new places, finding cool shops and wining and dining at places I’ve never experienced.

@momtoleo Good work, DH!
@GrabberBlue2010 I was really hoping your work situation would be better today…sorry, boo. BEST of all the lucks in your interview tomorrow! FX for you!
@linzrunz Happy anniversary, love bird!
Aw, @Saralee797 …I am so very sorry!
@Ekzerr Welcome to the work of Go…it’s downhill from here!
@TheJerilu That timing though!

AngelaPlus3 · July 2016

I think I go here now... I don't know...

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 14/questionable (see R/R)

Timing: umm... I think -4,-2 (yuck)

Testing: not for a long, long while

R/R: So I didn't temp this cycle. I'm ridiculously regretting that. But I am back to negative OPKs, had some terrible (what I'm assuming) O pain, and lots of EWCM, so I'm assuming that I O'd yesterday-ish. I'm just going to go with that I think and reserve the right to change my mind if something crazy happens. Obviously not my best cycle...

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?
My biggest pet peeve is over-schedulers. I understand some things require plans and having a semi idea of what we are doing is fine, but if I have to fit relaxation into the "schedule"... No thanks!
My favorite thing (if my kids are on vacation with me) is watching them having so many new experiences and making family memories.
My favorite thing (if I'm kid free) is having time to nap and read a book!

GrabberBlue2010 · July 2016

Happy anniversary @linzrunz!!!

LOL @hezzer78 I totally wish they would bring Mario related stuff to xbox. I loved when they brought all of the classic Sonic games to the first edition xbox. Those were the good ole days!!!

PepperAT · July 2016

@linzrunz Happy Anniversary!!

I love that you guys are going paddle boarding! Have lots of fun.
@Saralee797 Sorry about CD1. Go out and buy yourself something pretty!
@Ekzerr Yes, if CM has red in it, I do generally mark that as spotting. Spotting can happen for any reason during your cycle. Do you normally spot during your LP? I generally start seeing that a couple days before AF starts.
@berg There is something about a drug test that sounds so unnerving. I don't do drugs, but that would definitely make me a little nervous too. Good luck and I am sure everything will be just fine!
@JackieMarie1989 In regards to alcohol effecting your temps, everyone is different. When I have a glass of wine at night, my temps are not generally effected the next day. I have noticed some people temps will be higher than normal after a night of drinking.
@TheJerilu Eat all the pineapple!! I forgot that this cycle.

Month/ Cycle: 12/12

CD/DPO: 24/9

Testing: Never!

Timing: -3 -2 -1 +1

R/R: It's Thursday, that is both a rant and a rave. It is pay day, so that is good, but I have to work late. I am really trying to focus on my health and fitness, but DH is not helping.

GTKY:
Pet Peeve: When DH ends up wanting to sleep in every day. I am the type of person that wants to get up and go. If we are at the beach, I want to get out there early and enjoy my day.

Favourite thing about vacation: Not working and doing whatever I want, whenever I want.

catem07 · July 2016

@KirstinH88 I stopped by CVS last night. HPTs are expensive! I bought a generic "compare to first response" early test (but it's blue dye). I also have wondfos and a regular timed first response and a regular timed clear blue (Amazon sent the wrong one). I'll start with the wondfo and the generic.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 29/11

Timing: -5, -4, -3, 0

Testing: Tomorrow

R/R: I wish I knew how long my LP is, but since I just came off Mirena I don't. Trying to sort out "symptoms." Also, I never got full CH this month, just dotted line, which is interesting.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?
Pet Peeve: DH worrying about what time we are going to eat. He needs his three meals, and I hate having to plan shit around it.

Also coming back from vacation stinks too. Too many emails, etc.

Favorite: Sleeping in? Being able to change plans if I want.

AngelaPlus3 · July 2016

@KirstinH88 I would say cold water showers definitely qualify (unless it is unbearably hot out, maybe) and FX for tomorrow!!

@momtoleo I don't think that sounds strange at all. I can understand having a drink or a couple, but I want to enjoy vacation and not feel horrible every morning the whole trip. (ask me about it 5 years ago though and I might have had a different answer)

@GrabberBlue2010 Lots of FX for your phone interview! And that you get to interview fun, interesting people today so it isn't a completely horrible day. Also, I wish DH wanted to play Xbox with me. He plays every night but I haven't gotten the invite yet. Pretty sure he thinks I'm just terrible and wouldn't have a clue what I'm doing (semi-true, but I'm a fast learner).

@linzrunz Happy Anniversary!! Hope you have a great time paddle boarding. It's on my to-do list in the near future.

@hartmich FX for tomorrow!! Also, I get the struggle of living like you aren't pregnant until you are. Any plans we make for next summer (or anytime between now and then) I can't help but think about it.

@hezzer78 I'm also a 10dpo tester. I know it's crazy, but at least we aren't alone in our crazy. And I feel you on the packing and plane/travel part. I wish there was a way to make vacation happen while skipping that part.

hartmich · July 2016

@yaeger07 I have no idea how long mine is either. This is my 3rd cycle off the pill but first temping. It seems like from tracking CM last month it's about 14 days but that cycle was (likely) longer than this one will be. So who knows.

@ahrains When will men learn you just don't make those comments? My husband does that too and it drives me nuts. If you aren't complimenting me, keep your mouth shut!

@hezzer78 That's a perfect example. To me, it seems irresponsible to book something expensive like a vacation that for various reasons you may not end up wanting to take, or even being able to take, and risk not getting a refund. I guess there's travel insurance etc but still.

themrs · July 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 28/11

Timing: it was okay

Testing: Today, BFN

R/R: I wasn't going to post today cause I was sad about the negative. Temps also plummeting. Shortly after I tested, I started spotting so I'm just not very happy. I don't know how some of you ladies make it several months and years sometimes. It's only our second month and I feel sad.

CS/Q: none

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?
I haven't been on enough vacations to have pet peeves about them; I do hate flying though. Best thing about vacation is just having time together to do whatever we want. Stress-free.

CS/Q: dear body:

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?

I am not a fan of over drinking on vacays either. I love having a few drinks and over indulging maybe one day out of the vacation but that's it.

I love being disconnected from work. I make it a point to not check emails like I obsessively do 24 hrs a day when not on vacation.

Zoey1019 · July 2016

@KyCade3013 Hey just a heads up, they changed the rules about posting BFP on TWW board...perhaps you could edit and say..please see Weekly Grad thread

KirstinH88 · July 2016

@GrabberBlue2010 Good luck on all the interviews. Those to hire new staff. And the one for you to leave! Fx for you!

@linzrunz Happy anniversary! Wow 9 years! Congrats! Have fun paddle boarding. I've always wanted to try that.

@hartmich I'll probably only buy 2 or 3. One for FMU tmrw morning. If positive, I'd like to see the line darkening, so I'll probably test the next few days. If negative, then I will just test FMU every morning until AF shows. I agree with the concept of not living like you are pregnant. My family wants to plan a big trip to Disneyland for Spring Break and I keep telling them to postpone it another year because I will (Fx) be pregnant. And I don't really care if its selfish, but I'm not paying over $100 for me to enter into Disneyland and not be able to ride the rides.

@Ekzerr @jackiemarie1988 @ahrains @AngelaPlus3 Thanks for all the Fx on testing tmrw!

@jackiemarie1988 If I only have a beer or two and still go to bed at a decent time, I do not see a change in my temp the next morning. But if I get a little crazy, then I see a huge spike in temperatures. Last cycle, I had one crazy night and one somewhat crazy night, and the temps showed. I didn't like that it messed up my chart either by having high temps in the chart or by discarding them and not having a temp, so for this current cycle, I have stayed away from drinking. I will have a sip or two of DH's beer, but that is it.

@hezzer78 Hmm...interesting about the stable temps. So its supposed to be this way normally. This is only my 2nd cycle temping, so I'm fairly new and don't have a ton of charts to compare to, but last cycle my temps were up and down like mountains. I was hoping this would be a good sign. BSC here!

@thejerilu great timing! Fx for you!

@yaeger07 I feel like the HPT companies jack up the prices because they feel like people who are TTGP can't control their BSC and will pay the price for them. I go to the dollar store because I'm cheap. haha! I already need to go to Walmart today to pick up a few things, so I may stroll through their HPT aisle and see if I can grab a few cheap ones from there so I don't have to make a second stop. And I know that my experiences have no bearing on yours, but I got my mirena removed at the end of October and my cycles were wonky. 30, 29, 36 for the first 3 cycles. And I also never got solid CH this cycle. Sigh...

@TheMrs I'm sorry for the BFN, plummeting temps, and the spotting. I understand your sadness.

@tamalahoop Sorry for the BFN.

@KyCade3013 Congrats on the BFP. But we keep those announcements off this thread to be considerate of those having rough TTC days. Especially those that may have recently gotten a BFN. I am super happy for you and would encourage you to post in the TTGP Grad thread for this week. I'm sure everyone would love to hear you got a BFP and read your responses to the questions.

TheJerilu · July 2016

@KyCade3013
Please do not post those results in TWW. We have a specific thread for that, so people who aren't having good TTC days don't have to see BFPs and ensuing congrats.

jackiemarie1989-2 · July 2016

@KirstinH88, @hezzer78, @PepperAT thanks! I typically only have 1 or 2 these days (body can't handle much more anymore) so I guess it's probably not having a huge effect on my temps. I think my bigger problem is not having consistent timing.

Testing: nope nope nope.

R/R: Rave: We HIO 2 days in a row. You guys....this never happens for us, so I'm so proud of us. DH wanted to skip last night because he was super tired yesterday after a full day of manual labor and a tough workout. But, I told him it was my last day of FW and he stepped up his game!! In previous cycles, this sort of pressure caused some performance anxiety, but no issues last night! A part of me thinks this post is totally ridiculous, but hey! I'm excited!!
Rant: All signs point to O yesterday but silly me forgot to temp before I got up to pee, so I immediately ran back into bed and temped. Of all days to forget to temp, the day after suspected O!! Probably not accurate, but oh well.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation?
Pet peeve: I hate the pressure and usual timeshare spiel you get when you go to an all-inclusive resort. I also hate having to go through customs if we're traveling internationally. Always such a pain.
Love: I just love being on vacation. I love no alarms, no obligations...just lots of relaxation time.

DH doesn't feed me often enough! He normally skips breakfast, but if he has breakfast then he's not usually hungry at lunch time and so on, whereas I usually have 4-6 small meals during the day. Visiting new places

Answers to Q

red tinged cm should be marked as spotting

Alcohol can increase your temp, even 1 glass but This depends on the person. I don't notice an elevated temp after 1-2 drinks, but some women have a huge temp spike

GTKY: What is your biggest pet peeve while on vacation? And then your favorite thing about vacation? Not sure this counts as a pet peeve, but I never sleep well my first night in a new bed, so I'm always exhausted on the first full day of vacation. My favorite thing is having more time to read

Uh oh guys. I may be out and not even testing tmrw. I'm spotting. And I didn't bring any supplies to work because it's too early! If my LP is the same as last month, AF shouldn't be here til Sunday. 3 days early is no good!

ETA: I O'd one day later this month, but it look like my LP is being shortened from 13 days to 11. What the crap.

@KirstinH88

When I get spotting before AF, I usually spot for one day, then no more spotting the next day, then AF the following day, so if you follow that pattern, then LP will be 13 days. Crossing my fingers for you!

KirstinH88 · July 2016

@Squiddly Thanks. I was one of those horrible people who never really paid attention to anything relating to my body or cycle before a few months ago. So I only started temping and paying more attention to the signs last month. Last month I spotted and AF came the next day. Assuming it will happen that way again, but you never know...

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 28/10

Timing: Good! Excellent!

Testing: I want to test tomorrow, but I'm having second thought. Typically, I get AF around CD 28/29 (but I don't have a average luteal phase length...I've had my LP anywhere between 7-12 days). Tomorrow is CD 29 and DPO 11. Our timing was excellent this month and I keep trying to tell myself that it might actually be possible I'm KU, but then part of me doesn't want to go through the disappointment of a BFN. I'd rather just anticipate AF and not think about testing unless I'm really late (like 12+ DPO).

R/R: Nothing......

CS/Q: Nope.....

I guess my biggest pet peeve on vacation is getting stuck around other vacationers! I'm talking about the annoying ones that hog all the chairs at the pool/beach or they act own the resort or something. When I go on vacation, I don't want to be annoyed by random strangers and their obnoxious attitudes.

My favorite thing! I don't have to worry about cleaning the house/making the bed (thank you hotel staff) or cooking dinner. No work or serious responsibilities for a couple of days. Just fun and relaxation.
