GTKY: What is your favorite outside night-time activity?
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*

GTKY: What is your favorite outside night-time activity?
I love stargazing, which is hard to do in NJ because of light pollution. That's one thing about going to my sister's house or mom's house that rocks besides the sunsets. Fire pits are also nice and I'm sure a lot of others will say that, too.

GTKY: What is your favorite outside night-time activity? My husband and I play Yahtzee a lot. And on cool evenings I like to sit out side and play. To second @NYTino24, I also enjoy looking at stars when I can see them. We went to a really remote island for our honeymoon and it was the first time in years I could see the Big and Little Dipper. It was really cool.
@BertieMeetsGertie I hope your headache goes away soon!
@NYTino24 and @LadyMillil fire pits are also my favorite outside night time activity.

GTKY: What is your favorite outside night-time activity? As an adult? Fires are also my favorite outside night time activity. Growing up, it was chasing lightning bugs (fireflies) and playing outdoor games like ghost in the graveyard with the neighborhood kids.

@BertieMeetsGertie I have had a headache for a week! I feel your pain, literally. I finally took a tylenol PM last night I couldn't take it anymore. I hate feeling my heartbeat in my face. Not sure if it's migraine/tension or just hormones.
@berg kudos on the full size bed. We got a king as soon as we moved and now even a queen feels tiny and cramped!

GTKY: What is your favorite outside night-time activity? I do like stargazing too. When I was younger I would sit out on our roof and watch the sky. We still live in the burbs now and have plenty to gaze at.

DH is obsessed with having fires, like loves them. Me, I'm so eh about them. I hate that I smell like smoke afterwards. Watching fireworks is my favorite night time outdoor activity.

I had a nice conversation with my RE yesterday since we missed the surge/ IUI. There was a decent size follicle on my u/s and since our timing was good we have a shot this cycle. If I'm not KU they are going to monitor me much better next cycle and I will do the trigger. Unfortunately, I'm traveling (without H) until what I predict will be CD 13 so its going to be tricky.

Take a look at my blog
@Flinstone If you're positive that you O'ed 14 days ago, then chances are if your first test was N, others will be too. Maybe you O'ed later than you thought? I'm noticing this is your first cycle TTC. I've learned that Walmart cheapies and Wondfo's are so much more sensitive than more expensive tests. I would stick with those, I definitely feel they are trust worthy.
@leekat14 I know you have been here with us for quite a while. I am sorry you haven't gotten your BFP yet. I know you are very close to the year mark, would you feel comfortable making an appointment with your OB to get some testing done? They can do the simple tests like blood work, and write a script for your H to get an SA. I am in no way insinuating that I think you have fertility issues. I'm just wondering if you would be open to starting the process of finding that out?
GTKY: What is your favorite outside night-time activity?
Hmmm...obviously fires are sweet! Other than that I don't really like to be outside at night because I'm a scardey cat!
GTKY: What is your favorite outside night-time activity? I love star gazing. it is also on my bucket list to see the aurora some time.
@NYTino24 I was amazed by the steadiness of your chart! mine never looks anything like that!
@BertieMeetsGertie I hope your headache improves
@berg we used to be in a full sized bed... poor DH is 6'4"... the mattress salesmen gave me serious side-eye for making him squish in a full, when we went matress shopping. we ended up with a cal-king and it is amazing!
@hupp0013 I love watching fireflies too
@flinstone no a more $$ test is not likely to be more accurate (generally speaking though you could check and see how sensitive the test is.
@leekat14 its still early yet to count yourself out
@alysapuggles sorry for the impending CD1
@pinky917 we have all been there with the BSC waffle! hang in there
@marybpoppins I hope the remodel stays on track
@callalily25 have you been recording your OPK in FF? the more information you give it the more accurate it can be. Take a deep breath girl! I know that one wonky +OPK is confusing but your temps do show a clear shift. You could be cramping for so many different reasons. I know its frustating and I would try to HIO just in case, but from what you have in your chart I would say your in the right place being in the TWW.
@khrun17 hey nearly cycle buddy! I hear you on the early BSC. I was talking to what is hopefully an embryo about making sure it implants last night. (hangs head in shame)
@pretzel2plus1 happy workaversarry.

Sorry for CD1 @alysapuggles! I'll likely follow soon.
@CallaLily25 What is your CM like? Is it usually a reliable sign? I don't know what the deal is with an LH surge after O, but your chart certainly looks like you O'd. Did you change your temp time, or method (oral to vaginal)?
@mrsdaddario What trigger were you using? My doc gave me Ovidrel. Just wondering if I need to test out the trigger.

R/R: I got so much done yesterday because I had jury duty but was dismissed at 10:30, so I got the Halloween decorations from Michael's I've been trying to get for a while, and the WD-40 to finally oil the door hinges in my house because I hate squeaky doors, and sewed buttons on a coat I couldn't wear all last year for want of a button. And Michael's is the devil because I also walked out with an oversized clock, a picture frame, and a mirror with gold old-timey writing on it that I super didn't need but it's about to be CD1 and it's either shop or eat to feel better, and at least when I shop my pants will fit tomorrow.

GTKY: What is your favorite outside night-time activity? I am all about mindful walks right now. As a person with GAD, I find mindful evening walks to be calming. I also don't feel as guilty about dessert afterwards.
@NYTino24 I saw Tim and Faith live when I was 17, it was awesome!
@Berg I can totally relate to the bed being too small for all of the furballs and humans. Although you guys being in a full size bed is NUTS. Our 90 lb dog has always adamantly insisted on sleeping on our bed, and one of our cats usually does too... so some nights are better than others. We already have a king size bed, so unless we get super creative, we're doomed to struggle. Also, high-five fellow Yatzee player!
@CallaLily25 not to contribute to the BSC, but have you taken a HPT? Yes, I know it's super early for that. Just curious.
@pretzel2plus1 congrats on the 2 year anniversary at your job! And, I wish I had a beach nearby to walk on at night!
@wabash15 yay cake day! It's never a bad day to have cake.

@BertieMeetsGertie I hope your headache gets better.
@berg I don’t know how you sleep in a full sized bed! We upgraded to a king, and now, if we stay in a hotel with two queens instead of a king, we will sleep in different beds because of the space! That being said, when DH and I first started dating, I had a twin bed and we somehow made that work for a few months.
@hupp0013 Catching lightening bugs was the first thing I thought of when I saw the GTKY question, too! Are you Southern? Haha!
@Flinstone Sorry about your BFN! It depends on the level of hCG the test tests for. So, the ones that are “5 days sooner” may test for lower amounts of hCG then other tests, but you’ll just need to look at the boxes.
@lulu1180 Yay for jeans at work!
@alysapuggles and @beachbunnyxo123 Sorry about CD1!
@pretzel2plus1 I love the beach at night, too! When we lived about 30 miles from the beach, we would go all the time, and we would go night fishing.
@laurad75 I’m glad you had a good conversation with your RE, yesterday. If you don’t ovulate without Clomid and/or a trigger, maybe you can start the Clomid a few days later, which would push ovulation later, so you will be with your DH at ovulation time. Since I don’t ovulate on my own, I have worked with my RE to take Clomid earlier or later in the cycle to kind of manipulate my O date.
@mrsdaddario Some cycles negative tests are harder to see than AF for me, too.
@wabash15 Cake day sounds awesome!!
@Nelbetron Good luck on your exam Monday!
@eggplantface My doctor’s office warned me that Ovidrel can turn a test early when I used it. Also, last year when I had jury duty, I went to Michaels afterwards and went home with a Christmas tree! DH was not impressed. Haha!

@MrsN092714 - I hate the TWW too! I much prefer WTO, because then at least I feel like I can do something... TWW is just SS and impatience.
@laurad75 - as far as time zones go, it depends a little on how far of a time difference it is. But we live in Eastern, and family is in Central, and whenever I go home to visit I just keep the times the same. If you go to bed at 11 normally and get up at 6, if you can keep something somewhat similar for bed time you can keep a similar temping time. GL and enjoy your trip!!
@wabash15 - YAY! You got CH's! So happy to have you here. We're both breaking out of the WTO/TWW cycle this month! I hear ya on the emotional mess...I get much crabbier with poor DH during TWW. Also, my breasts are more sensitive, and he's a typical boy and always wants to grab at them when we lay down in bed at night or something and I just snap at the poor man.

@mrsdaddario last time around I was the same way, I hated seeing those negs so I would only test if AF went longer than 14dpo. Fx for you this cycle
@Nelbetron Sorry things are stressful right now. good luck studying and with the test
@beachbunnyxo123 sorry for CD1
@lund welcome! I feel you on needing a break from BD. you will typically ovulate 12-48hrs post + OPK. There are several ladies here who ovulate on the same day as a +OPK so that's probably why FF gave you cross hairs where it did.
@Dinosaur sorry for the BFN
@mrlight ugg, sorry getting a treat backfired on you
