  • @littlebug2010 This is Us last night was sooooo good! I won't spoil anything, but squee. I am not a tv watcher by any stretch, and I seriously can't wait for next week! 

    @JulesDP and @TalesOfASocialIntrovert - thanks for not booting me out! Seriously though waiting is the hardest part!

    @spk112 I can see an argument for an O day one day later than FF predicted. You have some open circles too. Your chart does look good though so FX for you!

    ETA: @shstephenson Sorry for the negative test :(
  • @shstephenson I'm sorry. Creepy hugs to you.

  • @shstephenson so sorry for the negative
  • @lmc929 you're siggy gif is EVERYTHING!
  • @saralee797, Thank you! I'm a shift worker, so unfortunately it's impossible for me to get my temperature at the same time every day. I was on nights the week before I ovulated, hence the open circles. At that point, I was just trying to temp after I got a solid amount of sleep. 

    @lmc929, Hi, mall buddy ;). I'm tall, too (5'10"). I completely understand the struggle that comes with making sure that clothes fit properly, especially pants. My legs are super long. 
  • @spk112 No judgment! Temping is hard. I am just saying maybe you O'd later. How long is your LP usually if you know?
  • @Saralee797 no worries! My LPs are incredibly erratic. I began charting on FF before we started actively TTC,and my LPs have ranged from 5 days ( :s ) to over 20 days.  
  • @shstephenson so sorry!  Hugs!

    @jeg07 my experience with my pregnancy was that they get you in once pregnant around 8 weeks (if I'm remembering correctly). That's of course if you are considered a "normal/healthy" patient.  So you'd be around the end of November anyway. At my OBGYN office, we could see any doctors during our pregnancy and aren't guaranteed a certain doctor for delivery either.  But I always tried to get "my" Doctor.

  • @jeg07 agree with @bumpybump - my doctor doesn't have you come in until 8 weeks, unless you are high risk.  And even if you are high risk, a lot of times you just swing in for beta bloodwork twice and would only see a doctor if it's bad news, otherwise you talk to the nurse on the phone about the results.  They do hold appointments for emergencies (bleeding, etc), but you wouldn't necessarily get your own doctor.  My office also rotates you during pregnancy appointments - they have one doctor every day that is on office pre-natal appointment duty, so anyone with an appointment that day sees the doctor on duty.  They rotate enough that you usually see everyone while pregnant, and they do that on purpose - because when you go in to deliver, whoever is on hospital duty that day delivers your baby.  So if you've at least met them all, you feel more comfortable about that.  My office has 8 doctors, and I had seen all but 1 of them (not on purpose) while pregnant.  I actually met that one when she swung into my hospital room after DD was born, for daily rounds.
  • Month/Cycle: 4/4

    CD/DPO: 19/4

    Timing: -3, -1

    Testing: nope

    R/R: happy hump day! 

    CS/Q: nope

    GTKY: How would you describe your (clothing) style? Pretty simple... I don't like a lot of accessories, they annoy me... and I also like things to look flattering and be comfortable (so dresses, pants that fit right, shorts... anything really). I buy 99% of my clothes secondhand (except workout clothes) so I'm a little all over the place I guess. If I'm at home... 100% sweatpants and sweatshirt or leggings, which my DH loves. (Just kidding... he always comments whenever I'm wearing leggings. I think it makes him think i'm being trendy/college-girlish. But whatever. they are so comfy)

    @bumpybump sorry for the looming AF :(
    @tripledaggerWed95976 I love free people! But it always seems to look ridiculous on me. Jealous you can pull it off!
    @kiwi2628 glad you are feeling better! 
    @alysapuggles hey dpo buddy! Maybe we'll have to make our own pee party! haha
    @eggplantface my DH doesn't take a supplement... but he is a supplement/vitamin/protein king. Is this supplement OTC? I get nervous something happened to his sperm quality after having a serious trauma injury last year and then having a follow up surgery this past July. (not related to his goods... but anesthesia, many catheters, heavy narcotics among other things can't be good right?) We are far out from going to see someone about it (we're only on month 4)... but I guess I have some nerves about it and figure a supplement couldn't hurt? He's also in his 40s so there's taht too that I worry about. Sorry... not helpful to you at all but thought I'd ask
    @spk112 I loooove Urban Outfitters... and sorry for the bfn




  • Sorry for the negative @shstephenson

    I'm impressed with all the ladies holding out until 10/1. I usually don't test this early, but I just went with the BSC this month. 
  • Thank you everyone for all the sweet words. Yall are the best <3

    @BusinessWife Ughhhhh that's so frustrating! And I would hope there wouldn't be any added cost, that would just add insult to injury!

  • Lurker coming out again I have posted a little bit here and there when I have some time.

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 23/9

    Timing: Everyday during fertile window

    Testing: started testing last night b/c I am entering the BSC stage.  Would love to join the Pee Party 2.0 if newbies are allowed :)

    R/R: rant: I have had major cramps for the past week now which is not normal for me.  I know it's super early but got a BFN this morning.  I am probably stopping at the dollar store on my way home to stock up on some cheapies to use on top of my wondfos.  I think I bought every type of pregnancy test there is this week.

    CS/Q: not right now

    GTKY: How would you describe your (clothing) style? casual jeans/tshirts/yoga pants/ Lularoe Leggings

  • @Nelbetron It's OTC, but only online. My RE recommended it to me, and I'm actually starting to think his practice developed the line of supplements because the company is based in the same town as his practice and it's only fertility-related supplements. He said the pill is just a bunch of antioxidants, which he could buy separately, but this pill has them all in one. I wouldn't say *any* supplement couldn't hurt, because I think some can, but I specifically asked my doc in this case if it would hurt him if he didn't need it and he said no. I also worried about trauma to H's scrotum in his youth (he played rugby plus many other sports, and was generally a wild child in his 20s so it's likely he took a few crotch shots). I know it sucks to wait it out those months until you qualify for an SA, but there could be nothing wrong too so try not to worry until you have to :)

    CD/DPO: 45/5

    Timing: -4, -2

    Testing: one more week until FF says I can.... lets see how long I can hold out, my guess is that I'll cave on Monday on my day off.

    R/R: We decorated for Fall/Halloween in my office this morning! I was telling a new co-worker that I LOVE decorating for holiday's and its best (for fall/Christmas) when the holiday throws up everywhere :) I feel like Linus waiting for the great pumpkin!


    CS/Q: nada

    GTKY: How would you describe your (clothing) style? I've been wearing a lot of a-line dresses, think Modcloth style, for a few years now. However for the past few months I've come to a realization that's not my style anymore. I'm slowly moving back toward how I was for most of my life. Less dresses, more pants. A little harder look, zippers, darker colors, still feminine just with a twist.

  • @kiwi2628 @delujm0 I'll RSVP yes to a pee party on Monday!

    @littlebug2010 Yaaay for decorating for Halloween!!! This is the first year I've had a home of my own, without roommates just DH and I, to decorate and I'm soooooo excited!

    @shstephenson I get that comment ALL the time at work. Dresses can be super comfy, you just have to get the right ones. Plus its so much easier to look put together in the morning!

    @bumpybump Sorry you're out :(

  • Month/Cycle: 14/12

    CD/DPO: 20/7dpIUI

    Timing: EOD & IUI on O

    Testing: Beta 10/8

    R/R:  Our IVF consult is Friday.  I'm really nervous and really excited.  

    CS/Q: Nope, I didn't temp this cycle because of the monitoring and meds, so no chart to stalk.  

    GTKY: How would you describe your (clothing) style?  Pretty casual, with some vintage influence.  I love ModCloth, if that gives any idea.  I also have a lot of quippy shirts from TV shows, Disney, and Harry Potter.

    because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!

  • @delujm0 I used to do Stitch Fix as well and I had the same criticisms. I wanted to get a higher quality product for the price they wanted to charge. That is a good idea about the accessories, I might just make sure they include a cute bracelet or earings so I have an "insurance policy" to not loose my deposit lol! 


  • @alysapuggles I was going to try to make it to next thurs... 12 dpo. It's not unreasonably early? I'm usually totally crazy and start at 8 dpo so 12 would be a dramatic improvement haha
  • @Nelbetron Would Wednesday be a good compromise? I usually have a 10-11 day LP, so I might already be totally out by Thurs and I really don't want to miss a good pee party if I can help it!

  • @Cait32 I've just collected them piece by piece over the years - some at a Nordstrom/Macy's type store, some at New York & Company. I hate the pants, too! I'm only 5'3", though, so they're never too long on me. I'm still searching for a great suit, though. Good luck!

  • *Lurking from the IF testing/check-in thread (or not I suppose since I'm technically in a beta wait)*

    I would like to nominate @delujm0 for the Oct Siggy Challenge win!  Does it matter that I haven't even waited until Oct??? Nahh.... Dwight stuck in pumpkin for the win ("I mean... eventually it will just rot off... right?").
  • @Cait32  The Limited makes their regular length and long length pants with an extra 2" in the cuff so that you can lengthen the pants if needed. Also, White House Black Market makes their suit pants in long length.
    I'm 5'10" with a 33" inseam. I feel your pain on finding suits that fit!
