@swanbrooner Happy birthday and CONGRATS on completing your Masters! What a huge accomplishment!
@captainfoxtrot I hope you feel better soon. Punch that cold in the face.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 20/4
Timing: -2, O, +2
Testing: Nooooooo
R/R: Well, even if I discard that random low temps I got on CD16, FF gives me an O date of CD17, so I'm feeling that our Timing was good this cycle regardless if I O'd CD16 or CD17.
CS/Q: Not for now
GTKY: What's going on with you this weekend?
DH may go four wheeling or fishing tomorrow so I'm hanging out with some friends tomorrow and going to the mall to get some new jeans since all the ones I had have suffered crotch rot (it's a curse). Sunday, I don't think we have anything planned and it shall be glorious.
@lund we have a gigantic walk in shower too...fortunately we went with a lot of white and grey and we trusted our tile lady to just tell us which grout to get. my only condition was that it not be white because it is borderline impossible to keep white grout looking reasonable, so we have grey. Though our shower walls have white subway tiles and I think that grout is white? I have a cleaning lady, so I guess I never noticed whether it's hard to clean or not haha. as long as the grout is sealed, I am told that it doesn't stain as badly.
We use a LOT of Tilex Fresh Shower lol.
Yup, as long as you use a power grout or a separate sealant, it shouldn't stain. Jealous that you have a cleaning lady!
@lund as soon as we designed that shower I was like "I'm not cleaning that." It used to be a walk in closet. It has double shower heads and everything...I mean it is pretty ridiculous. Fortunately, when you're super pregnant and your renovation is running over (as they do) your husband will agree to a lot of things to keep you from either murdering or divorcing him.
Seriously though, we both work full time with 45 minute commutes each way...so even though we did our own cleaning before, once we had DD we were like "it's worth it to budget in a cleaning lady, I don't want to spend time cleaning the house when I could be hanging out with my kid." Half of the reason I still work is because if I stayed at home I'd have to clean the house. :-)
@delujm0 Oh I can relate. We totally reconfigured the master suite space - our shower has two shower heads and used to be the master walk-in closet too! We're TTC #1, so I'm hoping that it'll be easier to convince DH that a cleaning lady is worth the expense once we're KU or have kids. I agree that time spent with your LOs is far more valuable than the cost of a cleaning lady! Heck, I'd even be open to DH and I doing most of the general cleaning and having a cleaning lady deep clean every 4-6 weeks.
@swimsister What @adirat said. I've also read to not eat it when WTO since pineapple can make mucus too acidic for sperm. I have also read that bromelain should be avoided after conceiving since it may cause miscarriage. Not really sure how accurate this is.

@ahrains I'm so sorry for CD1. But glad you had that margarita you mentioned in FFFC. CD1 and Friday is a mixed bag, but both are very good reasons for booze with lunch. Hugs to you.
And hugs to all those with BFNs and tough TTC days.
Month/Cycle: 8/9 (3AL)

Testing: We'll see how long both AF and I hold out. So far the plan is Monday (so we're still peeing buddies, @adirat, and it sounds like @captainfoxtrot, too ETA and @antoto!!!), but I have soooo many Wondfos...
(I so wanted to find a pic of those raining down on some woman who revels in them gloriously...) R/R: It's CD23 and I'm still here, which I couldn't say at CD23 at this time last cycle. I'm also still totally freaking BSC. Gah. Apparently I have been very spoiled indeed by a fairly regular cycle, and am learning the lesson of "you're regular until you're not" very hard and slow.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: We don't have anything major planned, which works for me. It's my favorite plan. I leave Monday night to fly to my hometown and visit my family until Friday, then OH and I are taking DSS and meeting OH's sister and BIL for a weekend away over Labor Day. So I'll need to prep for that, too.

Monday! It'll be a big day! And I would love to have a gif with joyful cascading Wondfos like when you beat computer solitaire.

Testing: 9/4 is when I hope to hold out to, dont know if I can
R/R: I had a beer at lunch, and am choosing to bump instead of work. Probably not the best idea, as I need to have some new sketches of email templates out by the end of day, but I dont seem to care.
CS/Q: Is it common to drink until you get a positive test, or do most people stop during the tww? My parents are coming in to town on labor day weekend, and thats still before I test. They enjoy going out of many drinks during visits, and I dont know if I want to indulge. One beer (see r/r) seems okay, but drinking at more than one meal seems like it might be too much. What do people think?
GTKY: What's going on with you this weekend? Not a lot. My dog has a hair cut, so we are going to breakfast tomorrow morning, and maybe walking around the city some.

@littlebug2010 I think most ladies on here do "drink til it's pink". To each their own - whatever makes you comfortable. I drink until 6dpo because that's when implantation could potentially begin. I think the general idea is that baby doesn't even share bloodflow with you yet, so it's just not going to be an impact.
@littlebug2010 I'm with @antoto. I understand that there is no risk associated with drinking during TWW so I don't worry about it, though I have not gotten really drunk or anything just in case. Also, this may be just me, but I would much rather have a beer during TWW than have people ask why I'm not drinking and have to get into a whole thing when we aren't telling many friends or anyone in his family that we are TTC.
Month/Cycle: 11/10? 11/11? I'm not sure I'd have to go count
CD/DPO: 24/11
Timing: -1, O
Testing: BFNs everyday since 8DPO.
R/R: I have decided that I really hate PMS on Clomid. I'm so freaking crampy. I guess the Clomid wasn't great for Endometriosis? My face is breaking out like I'm a freaking teenager again. I'm super cranky. I don't like it. And, for whatever reason, my heart rate has been about 110 resting and about 140 with light activity (like walking up the stairs). Considering my heart rate is usually about 60 resting and about 65 or 70 with light activity I don't know what is going on but I've clearly done something wrong.
CS/Q: Nothing
GTKY: What's going on with you this weekend? My husband and I are probably going to try to finally finish painting the kitchen. We've been halfway done for 2 weeks now but we couldn't get anything done while my mother was visiting and then my husband had to be gone a full week (including the weekend) for work and didn't want me painting without him. Clearly I'll do a horrible job alone even though it goes fine with him there, right? He's my painting muse or something.

@antoto and @adirat, Thanks for your input. Before my loss, I had stopped all together, and it made it super hard to hide it around family. They now know we are trying becuase of the loss, and so I would expect that they might not say anything, but I would rather not get into it. Im glad to know that many of you "drink until pink!", makes me feel a lot better about it all! I love bumping!

@marybpoppins The earliest I've seen BFPs in the chart gallery on FF or on here is 8DPO. Sure you'll occassionally see a chart on FF with a 7DPO BFP but it's usually "7DPO" where they weren't temping or they had a weird slow rise and fallback so it's hard to say if they're 7DPO or 11DPO or whatever. I've never seen a chart with a clear rise showing no other possible interpretation except 7DPO with a BFP, if that makes sense.
@ahrains I'm sorry. All the wine! And hugs. Lots of hugs too.
@swimsister I hear you girl. I started TTC not too long after my SIL gave birth to her daughter. She is now pregnant again and having her second baby in January and I'm still TTC#1. It's hard. I cried for 2 full days after she announces baby#2 to me. I felt bad for being so upset by her good news but it just really really hurt. None of us are going to judge you for being sad for yourself when you hear about someone else's pregnancy or birth of a child. We all get it. Or, ya know, at least those of us who have been TTC for awhile.

@NamelessAria I'm so sorry for BFN. I want it to be your month so badly! Is clomid contraindicated for endometriosis? It definitely sounds like you are having a hormone reaction to it. Creepy internet hugs. I hope your weekend manages to be OK.
@littlebug2010 That's so tough. Are your family generally conscientious people? If so then they may not say anything and it'll be OK. Good luck. Also... I will be having a beer in nine minutes, so you know, priorities
my husband had to be gone a full week (including the weekend) for work and didn't want me painting without him. Clearly I'll do a horrible job alone even though it goes fine with him there, right? He's my painting muse or something.
I laughed out loud when I read this. My DH does the SAME DAMN THING. We just finished painting our kitchen (after 3 years...) and the whole time I offered to keep it going while he was gone/not feeling up to it and he was all "No, nope, that's fine. I can do it".
Well it's Saturday morning here in Korea and I'm going to buy a HPT today since I used my last one on Thursday at 12 or 11 dpo. Hopefully I can hold out until tomorrow morning but that probably won't happen. AF should come tomorrow but I have no cramps and I was horribly nauseous last night but no other sickness signs. It could have been something I ate but who knows, FX.
