CS/Q:

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to!

Month/Cycle: 8/7

CD/DPO: 23/3

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

Testing: Not anytime soon

R/R: So, if getting highly emotional at my chart is a PG symptom then I am totally KTFU. Legit almost cried this morning telling DH and had to walk away to get control. FF gave me CH this morning but my temp was only .01 above the cover line. I hope it is a fallback rise. I just have so much hope riding on this cycle because we are scheduled to see an RE at the end of the month. I really did not want it to come to that. I know I am preaching to the choir here and some of you have been trying much longer but ugh I just can't help these emotions today. Sorry guys I feel like I just busted into TWW like a bull in a china shop with all the feels.

We recently hired a cleaning lady and OMG it has been a life changer. I can't live without it now. I really struggled with the decision to hire someone because I feel like it is something I can and should do but it was sucking up all my free time and causing a lot of added stress. My other obsession is buying everything at Paper Source. They have the cutest stuff but it is so much more expensive than like Hallmark.

KhRun17 · August 2016

@saralee797 - girl, we all feel for ya here. FX for you!!

Month/Cycle: 5/3

CD/DPO: 19/4

Timing: definitely not our best... :-/

Testing: might just wait for AF, since timing wasn't great... Plus, I only have 1 test left at home... We'll see how I feel come the 22nd/23rd. That's about when I'd expect to see the ugly visitor.

R/R: Nothing today.

CS/Q: Nah.

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to!

Well, DH and I have only ever had 1 income (when we got married he had just finished grad school and was searching, then when he got a job, we moved for his work and now I'm searching...) so we don't have too many splurges. I guess the most I can say right now is the occasional coffee that I get from Starbucks (or for those local who will kno...Caribou!) Paying $4+ for a coffee drink I know I can make at home always feels weird.

wabash15 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 19/4

Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,0,+1

Testing: probably 10dpo

R/R: I skipped lunch yesterday to run home and clean the house since FIL was coming to visit and was supposed to be here in the early afternoon. he did not get here till late last night... so I could have had a relaxing lunch but at least the house is clean. Its friday!

CS/Q: not right now

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to! probably starbucks... not every day but probably more than i should. Or shoes... oh shoes... i just ordered a pair of wedge toms sandles on sale from amazon... I cant wait for them to arrive.

@Saralee797 congrats on crosshairs. we all have those crazy emotional days. DH was not looking forward to having to go to an RE but as we went through the process he realized sometimes people just need a little help. creepy internet hugs

krisnicole23 · August 2016

@wabash15 @KhRun17 I'm with you ladies on the Starbucks! Especially in the fall when it's cold out.

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: 0

Testing: Next week

R/R: Yay it's Friday!! And excited to start testing next week sometime.

Good coffee and hair products.

KirstinH88 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 10/9 (5/5 TTCAL)

CD/DPO: 21/7 (half way there and livin' on a prayer)

Timing: -5 (x2), -3, -2, -1, O

Testing: Sometime between 12-14DPO

R/R: The last two cycles I didn't O until CD 17 & 18, so of course I was expecting about the same for this cycle. When I O'd on CD 14, I was pretty happy about that because the WTO is a drag. But I just realized that because I O'd earlier, FF has my next CD 1 as next Friday... **TW loss** ...exactly 5 months since my loss. I don't think next Friday is going to be a very good day for me.

Second day in a row of 97.45, the day before this was 97.46...huh....

Also, just this morning DH and I were texting and he was saying that he's feeling really stressed out and then went on to list everything that was stressing him out. Say what?!? Can you believe it? Getting pregnant made it on his list. Now normally I would not be very happy that DH is stressed, but to know that TTC is on his mind felt good! Cuz ya know...

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to!

This is a tough one! DH and I have been trying to be super focused on paying down debt. So we have tried to be frugal. But honestly, anything for the kids. We did a bit of back to school shopping last weekend and spent over $300 on clothes and shoes and we aren't even done yet!

mrsdaddario · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 11/8

CD/DPO: 26/ 11dpt-10dpiui-9dpo

Timing: -4, IUI on -1, O

Testing: Sunday.....

R/R: Zero symptoms to spot today. Trying not to let that get to me!

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to!
We eat out at least once a week. Not usually like, out out. But we definitely do like...pizza/chinese/subs etc at least once a week. I cook ever other day, so I need that break!

BertieMeetsGertie · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 26/10 or 11

Timing: craptastic

Testing: I've said Sunday, but I don't think I will at all. Really no point unless I want to feel even worse

R/R: ugh. So I've had some very minor cramping this morning, no spotting yet but I expect to see some today. I'm hoping that CD1 waits until Sunday so I have a 12 day LP. If it comes before then, I could have between a 9-11 day LP. I swear I'll cry if it's 9-10 days. I know women get KU with shorter LP, but you like to imagine that you won't have any problems. I'm just a huge bitter Betty today. Sorry ladies.

CS/Q: 0.3 temp drop this morning, but still about 0.25 above cover line. Expecting AF any day, just hoping she holds out another day or two. I know there's a lot of talk about using B6 to possible extend LP. Should I talk to my dr. first? I might just ask DH since he's a PA. This is what I'd like to do if she shows up today!

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to!
Hmm, DH and I love food and we spend so much money on it. We love to splurge and treat ourselves to Michelin star restaurants. We've been to several 3 star, and other 1-2 star. Must eat all food!!!

edit: words are hard

berg · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 19/5

Timing: good

Testing: nah

R/R: Well today is my last day at my current job. I've been here ten years and man is this going to be rough. It was my first 'career' job outside of college and as much as I hated it at times, I'm so super bummed. My sister works across the street and we go for lunch a few times a month. But now I'm not just changing jobs, but moving 4+ hours away... it's a lot for us. So yesterday she took me out and when she dropped me off we both stood in the parking lot and cried. I have to say it's definitely more the people that I'm leaving than the job itself. Sure they are mostly weirdos, but they are my little land of misfit toys and I love the awkwardness. Can I also mention that PMS'ing at the same time as closing a chapter in your life, while being an emotional person to begin with, it's just the worst timing ever? I cried yesterday pulling out of the parking lot and I still have to get through today. They are doing a lunch and stuff for me and I just know I'm going to be a mess. I almost wish I could just kinda sneak out the side door and fade into oblivion. Today is going to involve a lot of tears and a lot of liquor.

Waxing. I tried to shave this summer to cut costs. I don't know how women can do that all summer. It's so much effort all the time and it never looks as good. I would rather endure the 15-30 minutes of slight discomfort (and trust me if you do it enough, it's really not that bad) once every 3-4 weeks than shave every other day.

berg · August 2016

@KirstinH88 Loving the JBJ gif.
@mrsdaddario I feel like having no symptoms makes me even crazier than if I have symptoms. It makes me more convinced I'm KTFU.

saralee797-2 · August 2016

@BertieMeetsGertie I recently started watching the Office from the very beginning (only saw random episodes before) and that episode made me laugh so so hard!! Love the gif today. FX AF holds out for you!!

PepperAT · August 2016

I go here now!!

Month/ Cycle 13/13

CD/DPO: 19/3

Timing: Decent.. -4 -2 -1

Testing: nowhere near that yet!

R/R: I am so happy that it is Friday! These last 2 weeks at work have been the worst and I just need a break.
TTC wise, I don't know how I still get my hopes up, but would love to get KU on lucky #13. Plus we agreed if we are still not KU by the end of summer, we would be calling out Drs to start looking into everything and we are getting really close to that now.

CS/Q: nope.

GTKY: We don't really splurge on a whole lot of things daily, we like to save as much as we can and then splurge on a nice vacation at least once a year.

Edit: grammar

Dilynne · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 5

CD/DPO: 31/11

Timing:-3, -2

Testing: No plans

R/R: **TW BFP not mine** I used to be best friends with this girl and things went south, whatever. Well she had a baby last year and baby turned one yesterday. How does she celebrate? By telling everyone she's pregnant again "totally by accident hahaha" Groan. I didn't think it would, but it hurt.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to! I enjoy pedicures way too much not to get them every couple months. Also I'm spoiled and have a dishwasher and couldn't go back to not having a dishwasher.

lulu1180 · August 2016

@Saralee797 Yay for CH and sorry you were such a ball of emotions this morning

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 16/4

Timing: -5, -3, -1, O

Testing: not any time soon

R/R: It's Friday and I'm heading to my in-laws for their annual summer party!

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to!

I truly cannot think of anything that I splurge on regularly that I could consider an extravagance.

KirstinH88 · August 2016

@Saralee797 Sorry for the emotional day. Your chart looks fine. Mine does crazy things like that every once in awhile too. Don't stress. But I also know how you feel about going to see the RE. I'm still a few months out from that, but SOOO stressed about it.

@krisnicole23 Carlton!! How could anyone have a bad day when you see that dance?! Instantly puts a smile on my face.

@mrsdaddario That really should have been my GTKY you, but lately we've been going way more than once a week. Try 7 days a week. Yikes. Time to get back on our routine!

@berg It can be so hard to leave a place that you have been at. The people there are your family. Hope you enjoy your last day and let the tears fly! And, as soon as I wrote "halfway there," I knew the JBJ gif had to come out.

@Dilynne Almost the same thing happened to me, but I'm actually still close friends with this girl. She had a baby last August (he just turned 1 on Monday) and 3 months later she was pregnant again...on accident. So she has another baby due later this month. Like WTF... Also, I never get how people live without a dishwasher. Its horrible.

lulu1180 · August 2016

@Dilynne @KirstinH88 I've had a dishwasher almost my entire life. The only time I've ever been without one was when I first moved in with DH about 2 1/2 years ago. One of my requirements when we were looking for a house last year was that it MUST have a dishwasher. Now I just have to deal with the frustration of him not loading it to my standards or starting it before it's truly full.

saralee797-2 · August 2016

@KhRun17 @wabash15 @KirstinH88 @lulu1180 you're the best!! Now I'm probably going to cry because you are all so nice and supportive lol

mamashan12 · August 2016

Month/Cycle:1/1

CD/DPO: 27/11

Timing: High

Testing: I caved and tested this morning. BFN.

R/R: I'm annoyed with myself for testing this early. I wanted to wait a few more days. And that BFN stung.

CS/Q: Nope.

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to! My haircuts. They aren't cheap, but I only get them about 3 -4 times a year. My hairdresser is expensive, but she's really the only one that knows how to cut my curly hair and she's the one who got it really healthy.

This made me LOL. We have a dishwasher, but since it's just the two of us, I end up doing 90% of the dishes by hand. And I also do 99% of the dishes. Oh the fights we have had over the dishes. Why is that the worst chore?! I would rather scrub our toilet 7 days a week than do a sink full of dishes lol.

sevenn · August 2016

Month/Cycle:

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: -1, O

Testing: hopefully >10

R/R: I work this weekend so that's a bummer. I'm also really emotional today... Going from laughing to tired to on the verge of tears. Who knows!

CS/Q: holding steady

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to! I drive a hybrid- to me this is a luxury! I also agree with eyebrow waxing... I'm sure I could do a better job of plucking but waxing is just so easy.

KhRun17 · August 2016

@pepperAT - looks like our cycles are pretty close... hopefully you don't need to be calling Drs. FX for you!

@dilynne - I feel for ya on that friend situation. I've got babies galore in my family right now, and had a cousin have the same thing happen!

@mrsdaddario - during one of my bridal showers they did this game where they asked DH questions on video, then I had to guess his answers (think The Newlywed Game sort of). One of the questions was "who will do more of the cleaning?" His answer was "We've talked about this, she'll do dishes and I'll do everything else." He does NOT do everything else...but I have that on video...probably should bring that up again. LOL.

rainbowturtles · August 2016

@KirstinH88 haha no doubt...I'd be a little happy if DH was at all concerned about getting KU, too, if it was for a reason other than $$ lol The sheer volume of stuff we do and think about....
@BertieMeetsGertie fx for a longer LP and creepy internet hugs if wanted

@Dilynne groaning with you on that one UGH!

Month/Cycle: 2/2 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 22/10

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

Testing: BFN this morning

I know it's *technically* early but...

I dunno, not sure when to test again. DH's brother is coming for the weekend and they love to drink so I'll probably test every morning *just in case*

R/R: in my excitement to test this morning, I forgot to temp. Dammit.

CS/Q: nah.

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to!

I'm pretty frugal. For instance, I need new underwear and another bra and I feel like THAT'S a luxury

But probably David's Tea. I've been a little tea obsessed lately...
My hair is definitely expensive but I only get it done twice a year because of that, and I only get my brows waxed once a month at $12 incl tip, so meh!

KirstinH88 · August 2016

@rainbowturtles I also need new bras. I don't have big boobs, so my bras aren't super expensive and I buy them cheap from Target, but ugh...I have such a hard time justifying it. But the damn underwire is poking me!!!

rainbowturtles · August 2016

@KirstinH88 ugh that's the worst!!! I have one black one that I wear with everything, unless I'm wearing a sports bra or something like that. I have a couple other ones that you can't wear with most things. DH made fun of me until I told him how much they cost lol I swear he wishes I'd wear a different matching bra and panty set every day of the week and all I can think is:
1. You buy 'em, I'll wear 'em!
2. Pfffft! You wear the same thing every day and your undies are nothing to get excited about lol

wabash15 · August 2016

@rainbowturtles sorry about the BFN and the having to test every day due to guests.

@sevenn I drive a Prius and I love it!

rainbowturtles · August 2016

@wabash15 thank you

bummer you skipped lunch yesterday to clean but yay for clean house and Friday

Hope the FIL visit goes well! I plan on doing the rest of the cleaning tomorrow morning before BIL gets here. I just made cookies and it's 86F out (says "feels like 97F") so I'm kinda done until I have to go pick up DH from work lol Reading my book and relaxing!

MandyBeeSLP · August 2016

@lulu1180 @Dilynne @KirstinH88 To add to the dishwasher discussion we didn't have one the first 4 years we were married. We bought a portable off Craig's List the last year we lived in an apartment and at the time is was one of the Top 5 happiest moments in my adult life. It probably still makes the top 10 or 20.

Month/Cycle: 15/16

CD/DPO: 22/9

Timing: -3, -1, +1

Testing: No.

R/R: Part of me is kinda like, why are you even bothering posting? You know you aren't KU. Seriously, I have zero hope for this cycle, and I don't know if I will again until I've seen some more doctors. But I wouldn't have much to do on TTGP if I didn't post here so...

CS/Q: Temp dropped today. I don't think I'll start AF tomorrow though because I have had no spotting and I usually spot for a couple days before.

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to!
I can live without a lot of the luxuries I enjoy, but I have to second espresso drinks (although I don't like Starbucks). Even when we were really poor we still went to coffee shops. When we were engaged and the first few months we were married DH worked at a local coffee shop and we were spoiled by excellent espresso and I couldn't give it up. Even if I get pregnant I will still be able to have one two shot latte or cappuccino a day and I will take advantage of that.

kyersten · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 15/15

CD/DPO: 28/7

Timing: We did great this month (-5, -4, -2, -1, 0, +1). We used preseed for the first time and loved it!

Testing: Should wait until AF is due, but may do it Monday

R/R: I have been really hopeful about this cycle, but am now doubting it and becoming discouraged. I've been hopeful many times the previous 15 cycles and it just came to lots of BFNs. However, I am feeling hopeful about finally getting some testing in one month to see if there are reasons why it has been this many months with no BFP.

CS/Q: no thank you

GTKY: I buy too much Lularoe! Those leggings are amazing though.

(edited because put a wrong number)

krisnicole23 · August 2016

@kyersten you guys did great timing! Mine was not so great (just O day) but it was our first month with preseed and we loved it too! Fingers crossed!

Thank you for the encouragement @krisnicole23, fingers crossed for you as well!

rainbowturtles · August 2016

Oh no!!! @wabash15 I got reversed screwed to what happened to you!!! DH called early to get picked up so I didn't rest long and when I got there he tells me that BIL is already basically at the house and passed me on the thru road!!??!!! So not only did I not get to finish cleaning, he could have saved me the hour long drive (plus hour back) by picking up DH on his way....sighhhhhh

NurseMarie9 · August 2016

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 22/9

Timing: -2, 0

Testing: Possibly tomorrow?

R/R: SO's SA went fine, he said it was awkward, but it's done! Results in a week, is what they said.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is one luxury you have to have in life? Something that maybe you know you shouldn't get/do on a regular basis due to cost/extravagance but you have to! I love good coffee or espresso drinks. I also love getting manicures/pedicures and waxing.

wabash15 · August 2016

@rainbowturtles oh no! That sucks you had to drive an extra two hours, that would have made me cranky. I hope the weekend goes better, and if anyone should forgive a messy house it's family.
