@leekat14 I know, it's so stressful. Do you get o pain? I get a little on the right side, but my o pain on the left side is horribly painful. I'm nervous that ovary is affected by endo, which stresses me out even more. I feel fortunate that my gynecologist told me I can come in for testing after just six cycles of trying, given my endo, rather than a full year -- but it still feels so long.
@adirat Stupid mobile, stuck in the box. It's been getting worse as I go...this month was one of the more uncomfortable ones. We are almost at that year mark, but I wish it would just hapoen before that! At one of my 3 month checkups I got confirmation that my left side was good, but who knows about the right!
CD: uh whatever day @felix08 is. I'd just add one to the date, but I don't even know what the date is... It's Monday.
WAYDTGKU: I totally hit my step goal while HIO last night. I'm taking it as a good sign.
R/R: I've had family in town this weekend, so sex has been quiet and kinda boring. Doing just enough to get it done. Hopefully we can have more fun tonight now that we'll have the house to ourselves again.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week?
My parents, sister, and niece and nephews were here this past weekend. As much as I'm ready for an empty house again, I'm excited for my little brother and FSIL to come up on Thursday!! My brother and I are running a half marathon on Saturday and then Sunday we will eat ALL THE FOOD!

WAYDTGKU: Charting, PNV, B6, CoQ10, EPO, RRL and green tea, Mucinex, OPKs, extracting baby batter from OH whenever he and geography allow
R/R: First, I just dipped an OPK in the bathroomat work. I had the place to myself for most of the process, but when I was starting to gather everything up to leave, I managed to knock the pee stick right on the floor, under the partition between my stall and the next, and someone was in there!! I managed to pull it back over to my side with my foot, but I'm sure to someone who doesn't know, it looked like a HPT. Yay, that will be a fun rumor...
On the plus side, OH and I managed to FWP three days in a row this weekend! We haven't done that since we began TTC at the first of the year. I'm nervous that it is too early, though, and we'll have trouble keeping it up until I O. He's back out of town for work now, and he'll have tonight off from TTC duties. So hopefully he'll be ready to get back at it when I'm there Tuesday and Wednesday night. CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: I'm taking Wednesday off so I can spend two nights with OH. I always find a nice hike or something to do while he's at work. Oh, and I'll be getting my lady bits waxed because it is so time...

@BusinessWife - Girl, I've been around since the days of Greenland (before the newly newly formatted TB ) I get it though with the influx of newbs to the board. I learned all my stuff here actually and have three copies of TCOYF that I lend from time to time. Thanks for not kicking me off I wouldn't have left for good but would have sat out if it was necessary. I prefer the zero drama llama approach to life.
@ahrains Glad I’m not the only one annoyed at Bridget Jones
lol. Also, I love Chopped! I have a little bit of a girl crush on Alex
Guarnaschelli, she’s so badass.
@BusinessWife Hugs for CD 1. Good luck moving forward.
@delujm0 Sadly I can’t even blame it on HBC, just on wine
and chocolate.
@slam1110 I think there’s an episode of Friends where Monica
is mad at Chandler, but pretends not to be so he’ll participate in TTC
activities. Then he’s all confused and hurt when she starts yelling at him
after. Kind of the opposite of your problem lol!
@alysapuggles@SnobunnieMel Hugs to everyone dealing with
weight gain. Good to know I’m not alone, maybe I’ll start participating in the fitness
threads.
@Aurora1973 Oh no!!!!! I literally just came back from doing
my first OPK at work, I was really worried I would somehow drop the pee cup on
the floor or something… ugh.. the things we go through.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week? Honestly, this week just being over. We've got a lot going on this coming weekend. Despite knowing we'll have fun packed weekends give me anxiety because I get no downtime.
@Aurora1973 I loved that story and I can't believe I have never dropped an OPK stick at work. My time will come I'm sure. Over the wknd we were staying at a friend's house and I didn't want to bring the cups to dip so I just peed directly on the stick (this was a CBDA not wondfo). I need some practice, it was messy. Pee. Everywhere.

@ahrains for real! H was all proud thinking I was excited about something else. I was like oh not yet but I hit my step goal! It was dark and I couldn't see him but I'm pretty sure he rolled his eyes.

@magnolia131 Ah good to hear that sometimes, we are just the same ol' temp.
@BusinessWife I think H and I definitely fall into the camp of people who as soon as TTC became official, we start to feel pressured. We haven't had any performance issues or anything, but H told me today he feels "empty" haha. His words were "I can get it up but I'm not sure there's anything in there!"
Also, my cousin's wife who started TTC at the same time is 10 weeks along. I just found out. We plan on sharing daycare (a family member). On the outside, I am smiling. But on the inside.....
@laurad75 Aiming pee is definitely difficult! I struggle with the cup sometimes!
@Aurora1973 Just tell yourself that lady has been in your shoes TTC before! Imagine it was a fellow bumper... If I saw that, I'd be like "good luck, girl."
@swimsister OMG, I totally forgot that I also knocked the pee cup over (ETA it was empty!!), too...but no one was in there yet, and I totally thought I was in the clear. I should've known I wasn't, because I am this kind of clumsy:
(I also just HAD to share that gif when I ran across it).
@laurad75 I have just gotten to the point where I don't get pee everywhere using the cup. Most of the time, anyway. I can't imagine how I would do trying to go right on the stick.

R/R: i am SUCKING at temping this cycle. I don't know what's wrong with me. I guess I'm just extra tired with all my extra junk going on that i'm forgetting. Ugh. Annoyed with myself. I need to start my OPKs either today after work or tomorrow. I've been consistently ovulating at CD 17 but with no travel and everything being somewhat "normal" this month, who knows!
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week? Ummmm...I have 2 shipments coming for my other job which is always a lot of fun. Hoping the weekend will have good weather and I can sneak some pool time in. I have LOT going on at my real job which I'll probably talk more about once it shakes out. It's had me extremely stressed out and I'm so ready for all that drama to be done. I was thinking it was going to be this week since my boss is back from PTO tomorrow, but her boss/our VP is now on vacation so I don't think anything will happen until he's back. I could be wrong (and I hope I am) but man... I am stress eating all the things (ok not really...just eating things I don't normally aka all the bread) and I need to stop!
I am so late to the party today. Its definitely been a Monday. @swimsister that is literally me every time I eat... "oh its ok if I eat this cookie" 34589 cookies later.... @Westy99 I hope they find them soon! That's super scary!! @mrsdee15 good luck with the RE appointment and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! @Aurora1973 Have you noticed a difference in your CM after taking the Mucinex? I'm trying to decide if I am going to start taking it...
Month/Cycle: 4/4

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, CoQ10, green tea, about to start HIO EOD with preseed
R/R: So many pregnancy announcements on FB. And then yesterday I was subjected to listening to a family friend discuss how she just found out she's KU again (DD just turned 5 months old). She literally said the day she found out was the worst day. She and her H are not even remotely happy/excited. I wanted to punch her right in the throat.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week? Definitely going to say Friday. But not for everyone else's reason (I have continuing education conference all weekend). Its the first football game of the season for the team I work with and I'm excited to see all their hard work pay off!
R/R: I don't even care that it's Monday, because I know I only have two more Mondays left at this place before I start my awesome new job! So DH has super sensitive skin ever since he contracted mrsa years ago. Guess who is having a hives outbreak on his junk right before presumed upcoming FW (and no, it's not a weird SCD, I promise)? I feel bad for him but I'm also antsy because I'm afraid we won't be able to HIO when we need to. Selfish, I know.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week? Giving 2 weeks notice on Wednesday! Also on Wedsnesday, I get to go to a baby shower which I know a lot of people would not be as excited about but it's for a friend that had to PCS last year so I can't wait to see her! Besides, it gives me the opportunity to talk about baby stuff without people side-eyeing me.
@hartmich@Aurora1973 I learned its very important to point the stick down to avoid splash.

WAYDTGKU: PNV, B6 (this actually just reminded me that i hadn't taken them yet today, they were still sitting in my lunch box...and now i feel like a 7 year old), BBT, HIO started last night surprisingly (and partially thanks to the libations during Sunday Funday)
R/R: Looks like I missed some drive-by annoyance this weekend. Too bad, I had some gifs ready and waiting. I have my own IRL drama today though. What causes a 30 year old woman to revert back to high school and choose to play the passive aggressive ignoring game when they're upset about something is beyond me.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week? Any time i get to spend with DH honestly. This past weekend was so full of stuff that i feel like i didn't really get to see him much.
@shstephenson I did notice a difference. I still don't always have super obvious CM, but it's more abundant now. I also take Evening Primrose Oil supplements and drink green tea up until O. **TW** I did have a CP in May, so I must have working CM, if that helps. It's just not always the most reliable sign for me...

R/R: I took a break from the bump for a while because I was getting stressed about how long my cycle was getting this month. I'm back, still waiting to O at CD 64. I am going to the doctor on the 22nd to see if she can figure out what's up. Also, I went on a vacation, attended my husband's family reunion halfway across the country, and my grandma died. All that might have something to do with my weird cycle...maybe???
CS/Q: Anyone have experience with a 64+ day cycle with no apparent O? How do you deal with this?
GTKY:What are you looking forward to this week? I get to go to this big crafting conference thingy on Friday and Saturday. I understand this makes me an uber nerd, but I am PUMPED! I can't wait!
@stephy_p Travel absolutely can mess with your cycle, but now that you passed the 60 day mark it's definitely best that you have an appointment to figure it out. Travel messes with my cycle, but only by a few days, 1 week max.
Wow, I'm super late to the game today! But, here goes...
@leekat14, I hope your endo
stays in check, but yay for longer LP!
@RVAmom315, not sure where
you live but we desperately need rain too! I swear it hasn’t rained for a month
and it’s been SUPER hot! Both Saturday and Sunday were new record highs. Sigh.
@Marley629, Sunflower maze?!
That sounds amazeballs!
@Nelbetron, FX your DH has a
quick, speedy recovery!
@hartmich, I don’t really
have any CS skills at this point, but wanted to let you know that sometimes my
temp goes up when I drink, sometimes it goes down. I haven’t really been able
to find a consistency.
@MollyandD, I hope you first
day back was great! I can’t really shed any light on the rash, but I am
intrigued!
@swimsister, hang in there!
I went to get a physical last week and was way less than thrilled about my
number of the scale. Of course as soon as I saw it, I thought “oh my god, if I get
pregnant now and gain 40lbs (just guessing), I’ll weigh XXX – I CAN’T weight
XXX!
@Westy99, How scary! I would
be paranoid too! Love the gif!
@ahrains@klstone25, Hey
there fellow Blue Apron-ers! We’ve been doing it for the past 6 weeks or so.
The recipes have been really interesting and tasty! I switched over the family
plan so that we have 2 nights of leftovers a week and then I only have to cook
twice during the weekdays! Score!
@hezzer78, Way to step it
up, Best Western! That is freakin hilarious! They must have had so much fun
getting that room ready!
@ktcakes87, welcome back! We’re
going on vacation next week and I think it will line up nicely with FW. I just
hope my SIL and BIL are not in the room right next to us!
@mrsdee15, GL with your
follie scan! And happy anniversary!
@hope_for_a_baby, Wow, that’s
crazy! People really surprise you, don’t they?
@Aurora1973, Lol, glad you
were able to pull OPK back over to your side. But yes, I’m sure the woman will
think it’s a HPT!
@swimsister@slam1110, the
Friends episode is when Chandler was smoking and Monica caught him. She hadn’t
ovulated yet so she made up with him for about 10 minutes and then was right
back yelling at him! Great episode!
@stephy_p, So sorry to hear
that your grandma passed away.

CS/Q:
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week? My day off on Thursday! Much needed + sleeeeeep
@stephy_p There's a chart in TCOYF of a woman who never ovulated during a very long cycle due to multiple stressful events, so I don't think it's unheard of, but I echo the suggestions that any cycle longer than 60 days be checked out by a doctor. Good luck.
@BertiemeetsGertie Ooh, that sounds like a fun vacation! I hope it isn't too hot for you guys.
WAYDTGKU: The only thing that matters at this point is I have my infertility consultation next week.
R/R: I've almost got my room at school all ready. It's looking really cute! I have meet the teacher tonight from 4:30-6:30 and our principal let us leave at 2:30 so we have some time to relax and get ready.
CS/Q: No.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week? I don't really have much that isn't school-related going on this week. I was looking forward to going in today and getting the rest of my room set up. I bought this adorable sign at Hobby Lobby that says "Be a voice, not an echo" and I hung it by my desk. I thought it was kinda perfect for Speech Therapy.

@leekat14 sorry for the brutal period! Eat all the junk
& drink all the wine. It is never
too early to say Friday!
@Marley629 hope the biopsy went well today! Also, the sunflower maze looks amazingly
cool.
@nelbetron are you using c2k5? I am- but ended up with a
stress fracture in my shin & have to rest it. UGH!
@firebaby688 I attempted to convince my boss we needed
massage chairs. It failed.So spend an extra 15 in there for me!
@MollyandD hope you had a great first day back! I was reading through your post trying to
find the same item in each meal that could be the culprit.I have no idea.Do you shower in the morning?Maybe your soap?Or laundry soap?I’m grasping at straws here.FX that you figure it out.
@polarbear517 have a great vacation! I’d be lying if I said I
wasn’t jealous!
@alysapuggles it has been raining every day here too. I feel like I live in Seattle.Except it is blisteringly (is that a word???)
hot & humid when it isn’t raining.Gross.
@hezzer78 that is hilarious.
Next trip I am telling them I want the room decorated with Harry Potter
things.
@mrsdee15 happy anniversary! Hope your appointment went
well!
@jeg07 I’m looking forward to my couch after work too!!
@Aurora1973 I laughed at your story. I haven’t done an OPK at work yet, but that
is something that would happen to me! Also, I’ve never had my lady bits
waxed.It seems so scary! Is it
horrible?
@shstephenson that person deserves all the throat
punches. All of them. Wtf is wrong with
people?
@stephy_p sorry for the long cycle. My only advice would be to see a doctor – but
you’ve got that covered.GL!Hope she can help you!
@bertiemeetsgertie awesome news about DH! Maybe enjoy a
fancy dinner! And enjoy vaca!
I couldn't wait to tell you ladies my OPK story. I knew you'd get it and find the humor, too.
@Westy99 I'm not going to lie, it hurt, although not unbearably so.
Not quite like this, but you get the idea
I do feel like it's worth it to have everything clean for weeks and not have to shave. I always missed spots. This will only be my second time, and I've heard from multiple people that it's much easier. I'll let you guys know, LOL.

@stephy_p I've had several past 60 day cycles, but it's mostly been due to PCOS. I'm glad to hear you'll be going to the doctor to figure that out! As for how I dealt with it would be drinking... But for a more serious answer, I was given progesterone to jump start my period and then when I didn't ovulate again and didn't get a period, they did all my fertility testing and told me to lose 60 pounds and then they'd give me Femara. That being said, I know there are several women without PCOS (my mom being one of them) who are able to start ovulating again after that jump started period. Hope the doctor can help/you O soon!

WAYDTGKU: sexin' it up, hoping for a temp spike soon
R/R: Today was my first day back to school. I am having a hard time coming to terms with having to wake up in the morning. Oh, and having to do something rather than bump all morning, hence why this post is coming so late.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week? Hopefully surviving my first week back to work. H's aunt is coming in from out of state this weekend and I can't wait to see her.
Bumping at work feels like I'm doing something bad
@Marley629 I hope your RE appointment went well! A sunflower maze sound amazing!
@hartmich If you get another few of the same temp, I'd start to worry that the thermometer battery is dying. Do you have a normal O range? You may have geared up to O but not actually Oed, it happened to me a few cycles ago. Unfortunately I think at this point you just need to see what your temps do, sorry that's not a great answer.
@MollyandD Sorry about the rash, I hope you get that answered! I had a friend get something similar from a food allergy but hers took a long time to go away.
@bornmommy Congrats on the CHs! That's always a good feeling.
@BusinessWife Good luck with getting your HSG scheduled! I hope your appointment goes well.
@PolarBear517 A cruise sounds awesome! Seattle is a great city too, I hope you have a good time!
@swimsister Sorry about the weight gain and feeling bad, I totally hear you on those feelings! Mine are more "I won't be able to eat that when I'm pregnant so I should now!" That's also not a great approach. Hugs to you, I know those feelings suck.
@tripledaggerWed95976 These drive-bys have been so, so bad. I just can't. I came on here after only being on briefly this morning and the board was like
@laurad75 I'm glad you get your furbaby back! That must have been hard to have them gone.
@Westy99 That's terrifying! I hope they find the rest of the guys soon. I think no matter where you live, hearing that kind of thing is unsettling.
@ahrains Fx for O confirmation! Agreed on the drive-bys.
@klstone25 Have fun in NO! I haven't been but my best friend loves it there. I've heard the food is awesome.
@ktcakes87 Have a great trip! It sounds like your cycle was rough last time around, I hope this one gets better.
@hope for a baby Sorry about the SIL post ((hugs))
@jeg07 Any way you can squeeze HIO in the morning?
@magnolia131 Glad to hear you liked the movie! We ended up seeing Suicide Squad, and had an extended discussion about it afterwards. I wanted to love it so badly. It was entertaining though.
@linzrunz You've been busy! I hope you enjoy a few nights of your house to yourself.
@Aurora1973 I'm about to embark on OPKs at work and am just not sure how to navigate the pee cup/strip situation, especially because it takes a while for the line to show or not show. I'll just awkwardly hang out in our bathroom for like 5 minutes.
@shstephenson I would have gone nuts listening to that family friend! Ugh.
@Sirius37 Awesome on the notice! That sucks with your DH, I hope it clears up!
@stephy_p Oof, I had a 57-day cycle once. Of course that was the cycle that I took a temping break, but it seemed like my body tried to O a few times and didn't for whatever reason. My RE said sometimes it just happens, and my cycles went back to normal (for me) after that. That's brutal, I hope yours ends soon in one way or the other! I hope your MD is able to help you out with that.
@BertieMeetsGertie Congratulations to your DH! That's great! Have fun on your vacation!
@felix08 Fx for your O soon! Thanks for asking about the RE appointment. I have two follies, which is great, at 16 and 11mm. My lining is thin, which they expected from the Clomid, so today they started me on Estrace and I'll go in for a follow-up on Wednesday. I made the mistake of consulting Dr. Google before my nurse with my questions so I was freaking out over the thin lining for a little while.
Re: WTO Monday
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD: uh whatever day @felix08 is. I'd just add one to the date, but I don't even know what the date is... It's Monday.
WAYDTGKU: I totally hit my step goal while HIO last night. I'm taking it as a good sign.
R/R: I've had family in town this weekend, so sex has been quiet and kinda boring. Doing just enough to get it done. Hopefully we can have more fun tonight now that we'll have the house to ourselves again.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week?
My parents, sister, and niece and nephews were here this past weekend. As much as I'm ready for an empty house again, I'm excited for my little brother and FSIL to come up on Thursday!! My brother and I are running a half marathon on Saturday and then Sunday we will eat ALL THE FOOD!

R/R: First, I just dipped an OPK in the bathroom at work. I had the place to myself for most of the process, but when I was starting to gather everything up to leave, I managed to knock the pee stick right on the floor, under the partition between my stall and the next, and someone was in there!! I managed to pull it back over to my side with my foot, but I'm sure to someone who doesn't know, it looked like a HPT. Yay, that will be a fun rumor...
On the plus side, OH and I managed to FWP three days in a row this weekend! We haven't done that since we began TTC at the first of the year. I'm nervous that it is too early, though, and we'll have trouble keeping it up until I O. He's back out of town for work now, and he'll have tonight off from TTC duties. So hopefully he'll be ready to get back at it when I'm there Tuesday and Wednesday night.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: I'm taking Wednesday off so I can spend two nights with OH. I always find a nice hike or something to do while he's at work. Oh, and I'll be getting my lady bits waxed because it is so time...

@ahrains Glad I’m not the only one annoyed at Bridget Jones lol. Also, I love Chopped! I have a little bit of a girl crush on Alex Guarnaschelli, she’s so badass.
@BusinessWife Hugs for CD 1. Good luck moving forward.
@delujm0 Sadly I can’t even blame it on HBC, just on wine and chocolate.
@slam1110 I think there’s an episode of Friends where Monica is mad at Chandler, but pretends not to be so he’ll participate in TTC activities. Then he’s all confused and hurt when she starts yelling at him after. Kind of the opposite of your problem lol!
@alysapuggles @SnobunnieMel Hugs to everyone dealing with weight gain. Good to know I’m not alone, maybe I’ll start participating in the fitness threads.
@Aurora1973 Oh no!!!!! I literally just came back from doing my first OPK at work, I was really worried I would somehow drop the pee cup on the floor or something… ugh.. the things we go through.

GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week?
I'm sort of always looking forward to yoga, even though it requires work and prep.
@BusinessWife I think H and I definitely fall into the camp of people who as soon as TTC became official, we start to feel pressured. We haven't had any performance issues or anything, but H told me today he feels "empty" haha. His words were "I can get it up but I'm not sure there's anything in there!"
Also, my cousin's wife who started TTC at the same time is 10 weeks along. I just found out. We plan on sharing daycare (a family member). On the outside, I am smiling. But on the inside.....
@Aurora1973 Just tell yourself that lady has been in your shoes TTC before! Imagine it was a fellow bumper... If I saw that, I'd be like "good luck, girl."
(I also just HAD to share that gif when I ran across it).
@laurad75 I have just gotten to the point where I don't get pee everywhere using the cup. Most of the time, anyway. I can't imagine how I would do trying to go right on the stick.

I need to start my OPKs either today after work or tomorrow. I've been consistently ovulating at CD 17 but with no travel and everything being somewhat "normal" this month, who knows!
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week? Ummmm...I have 2 shipments coming for my other job which is always a lot of fun. Hoping the weekend will have good weather and I can sneak some pool time in. I have LOT going on at my real job which I'll probably talk more about once it shakes out. It's had me extremely stressed out and I'm so ready for all that drama to be done. I was thinking it was going to be this week since my boss is back from PTO tomorrow, but her boss/our VP is now on vacation so I don't think anything will happen until he's back. I could be wrong (and I hope I am) but man... I am stress eating all the things (ok not really...just eating things I don't normally aka all the bread) and I need to stop!

R/R: So many pregnancy announcements on FB. And then yesterday I was subjected to listening to a family friend discuss how she just found out she's KU again (DD just turned 5 months old). She literally said the day she found out was the worst day. She and her H are not even remotely happy/excited. I wanted to punch her right in the throat.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week?

So DH has super sensitive skin ever since he contracted mrsa years ago. Guess who is having a hives outbreak on his junk right before presumed upcoming FW (and no, it's not a weird SCD, I promise)? I feel bad for him but I'm also antsy because I'm afraid we won't be able to HIO when we need to. Selfish, I know.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week?
Giving 2 weeks notice on Wednesday! Also on Wedsnesday, I get to go to a baby shower which I know a lot of people would not be as excited about but it's for a friend that had to PCS last year so I can't wait to see her! Besides, it gives me the opportunity to talk about baby stuff without people side-eyeing me.

R/R: Looks like I missed some drive-by annoyance this weekend. Too bad, I had some gifs ready and waiting. I have my own IRL drama today though.

I am going to the doctor on the 22nd to see if she can figure out what's up. Also, I went on a vacation, attended my husband's family reunion halfway across the country, and my grandma died. All that might have something to do with my weird cycle...maybe???

Wow, I'm super late to the game today! But, here goes...
@leekat14, I hope your endo stays in check, but yay for longer LP!
@RVAmom315, not sure where you live but we desperately need rain too! I swear it hasn’t rained for a month and it’s been SUPER hot! Both Saturday and Sunday were new record highs. Sigh.
@Marley629, Sunflower maze?! That sounds amazeballs!
@Nelbetron, FX your DH has a quick, speedy recovery!
@hartmich, I don’t really have any CS skills at this point, but wanted to let you know that sometimes my temp goes up when I drink, sometimes it goes down. I haven’t really been able to find a consistency.
@MollyandD, I hope you first day back was great! I can’t really shed any light on the rash, but I am intrigued!
@BusinessWife, GL at the Dr.!
@swimsister, hang in there! I went to get a physical last week and was way less than thrilled about my number of the scale. Of course as soon as I saw it, I thought “oh my god, if I get pregnant now and gain 40lbs (just guessing), I’ll weigh XXX – I CAN’T weight XXX!
@Westy99, How scary! I would be paranoid too! Love the gif!
@ahrains @klstone25, Hey there fellow Blue Apron-ers! We’ve been doing it for the past 6 weeks or so. The recipes have been really interesting and tasty! I switched over the family plan so that we have 2 nights of leftovers a week and then I only have to cook twice during the weekdays! Score!
@hezzer78, Way to step it up, Best Western! That is freakin hilarious! They must have had so much fun getting that room ready!
@ktcakes87, welcome back! We’re going on vacation next week and I think it will line up nicely with FW. I just hope my SIL and BIL are not in the room right next to us!
@mrsdee15, GL with your follie scan! And happy anniversary!
@hope_for_a_baby, Wow, that’s crazy! People really surprise you, don’t they?
@Aurora1973, Lol, glad you were able to pull OPK back over to your side. But yes, I’m sure the woman will think it’s a HPT!
@swimsister @slam1110, the Friends episode is when Chandler was smoking and Monica caught him. She hadn’t ovulated yet so she made up with him for about 10 minutes and then was right back yelling at him! Great episode!
@Sirius37, Oh no! Poor DH (and you).

@stephy_p There's a chart in TCOYF of a woman who never ovulated during a very long cycle due to multiple stressful events, so I don't think it's unheard of, but I echo the suggestions that any cycle longer than 60 days be checked out by a doctor. Good luck.

CS/Q: No.
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week?
I don't really have much that isn't school-related going on this week. I was looking forward to going in today and getting the rest of my room set up. I bought this adorable sign at Hobby Lobby that says "Be a voice, not an echo" and I hung it by my desk. I thought it was kinda perfect for Speech Therapy.

Finally made it back for comments…
@leekat14 sorry for the brutal period! Eat all the junk & drink all the wine. It is never too early to say Friday!
@Marley629 hope the biopsy went well today! Also, the sunflower maze looks amazingly cool.
@nelbetron are you using c2k5? I am- but ended up with a stress fracture in my shin & have to rest it. UGH!
@firebaby688 I attempted to convince my boss we needed massage chairs. It failed. So spend an extra 15 in there for me!
@MollyandD hope you had a great first day back! I was reading through your post trying to find the same item in each meal that could be the culprit. I have no idea. Do you shower in the morning? Maybe your soap? Or laundry soap? I’m grasping at straws here. FX that you figure it out.
@businesswife GL tomorrow!
@polarbear517 have a great vacation! I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous!
@alysapuggles it has been raining every day here too. I feel like I live in Seattle. Except it is blisteringly (is that a word???) hot & humid when it isn’t raining. Gross.
@hezzer78 that is hilarious. Next trip I am telling them I want the room decorated with Harry Potter things.
@mrsdee15 happy anniversary! Hope your appointment went well!
@jeg07 I’m looking forward to my couch after work too!!
@Aurora1973 I laughed at your story. I haven’t done an OPK at work yet, but that is something that would happen to me! Also, I’ve never had my lady bits waxed. It seems so scary! Is it horrible?
@shstephenson that person deserves all the throat punches. All of them. Wtf is wrong with people?
@stephy_p sorry for the long cycle. My only advice would be to see a doctor – but you’ve got that covered. GL! Hope she can help you!
@bertiemeetsgertie awesome news about DH! Maybe enjoy a fancy dinner! And enjoy vaca!
@Westy99 I'm not going to lie, it hurt, although not unbearably so.
Not quite like this, but you get the idea
I do feel like it's worth it to have everything clean for weeks and not have to shave. I always missed spots. This will only be my second time, and I've heard from multiple people that it's much easier. I'll let you guys know, LOL.

WAYDTGKU: sexin' it up, hoping for a temp spike soon
R/R: Today was my first day back to school. I am having a hard time coming to terms with having to wake up in the morning. Oh, and having to do something rather than bump all morning, hence why this post is coming so late.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are you looking forward to this week?
Hopefully surviving my first week back to work. H's aunt is coming in from out of state this weekend and I can't wait to see her.
@Marley629 I hope your RE appointment went well! A sunflower maze sound amazing!
@hartmich If you get another few of the same temp, I'd start to worry that the thermometer battery is dying. Do you have a normal O range? You may have geared up to O but not actually Oed, it happened to me a few cycles ago. Unfortunately I think at this point you just need to see what your temps do, sorry that's not a great answer.
@MollyandD Sorry about the rash, I hope you get that answered! I had a friend get something similar from a food allergy but hers took a long time to go away.
@bornmommy Congrats on the CHs! That's always a good feeling.
@BusinessWife Good luck with getting your HSG scheduled! I hope your appointment goes well.
@PolarBear517 A cruise sounds awesome! Seattle is a great city too, I hope you have a good time!
@swimsister Sorry about the weight gain and feeling bad, I totally hear you on those feelings! Mine are more "I won't be able to eat that when I'm pregnant so I should now!" That's also not a great approach. Hugs to you, I know those feelings suck.
@tripledaggerWed95976 These drive-bys have been so, so bad. I just can't. I came on here after only being on briefly this morning and the board was like
@laurad75 I'm glad you get your furbaby back! That must have been hard to have them gone.
@Westy99 That's terrifying! I hope they find the rest of the guys soon. I think no matter where you live, hearing that kind of thing is unsettling.
@ahrains Fx for O confirmation! Agreed on the drive-bys.
@hezzer78 That story is amazing!
@klstone25 Have fun in NO! I haven't been but my best friend loves it there. I've heard the food is awesome.
@ktcakes87 Have a great trip! It sounds like your cycle was rough last time around, I hope this one gets better.
@hope for a baby Sorry about the SIL post ((hugs))
@jeg07 Any way you can squeeze HIO in the morning?
@magnolia131 Glad to hear you liked the movie! We ended up seeing Suicide Squad, and had an extended discussion about it afterwards. I wanted to love it so badly. It was entertaining though.
@linzrunz You've been busy! I hope you enjoy a few nights of your house to yourself.
@Aurora1973 I'm about to embark on OPKs at work and am just not sure how to navigate the pee cup/strip situation, especially because it takes a while for the line to show or not show. I'll just awkwardly hang out in our bathroom for like 5 minutes.
@shstephenson I would have gone nuts listening to that family friend! Ugh.
@Sirius37 Awesome on the notice! That sucks with your DH, I hope it clears up!
@stephy_p Oof, I had a 57-day cycle once. Of course that was the cycle that I took a temping break, but it seemed like my body tried to O a few times and didn't for whatever reason. My RE said sometimes it just happens, and my cycles went back to normal (for me) after that. That's brutal, I hope yours ends soon in one way or the other! I hope your MD is able to help you out with that.
@BertieMeetsGertie Congratulations to your DH! That's great! Have fun on your vacation!
@felix08 Fx for your O soon! Thanks for asking about the RE appointment. I have two follies, which is great, at 16 and 11mm. My lining is thin, which they expected from the Clomid, so today they started me on Estrace and I'll go in for a follow-up on Wednesday. I made the mistake of consulting Dr. Google before my nurse with my questions so I was freaking out over the thin lining for a little while.
@slam1110@magnolia131 @businesswife @ahrains @AliciaGoose @shstephenson @BertieMeetsGertie @Westy99 @felix08 Thank you all for the kind anniversary wishes!
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,
because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
