NYTino24 · November 2016

Month/Cycle:

CD/DPO:

Timing:

Testing:

R/R:

CS/Q:

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both?

NYTino24 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 27/9

Timing: -5, -3, -1, +1

Testing: no testing until Tuesday's Pee Pact. I didn't think it would be so easy to wait, so I'm glad for it.

R/R: Had a dream that I got in trouble for a simple typo in a thank you e-mail at work. I have been thinking about making changes as in transferring to another school or district, getting a supervisor certificate and trying to get a job closer to home, or staying home when we have kids. More school wouldn't be reimbursed or count towards a salary increase and I'm still in grad school / undergrad debt that DH doesn't want to pay off until we buy a new house. He wants to sell my house (which has a bad layout inside and out for kids / our big families) and buy one closer to my job. I have been telling him I'm not sure what we should do (but I have moved a decent amount and have only felt really at home in the county we are in now) and that I'd like to avoid the topic until we have a LO on the way to worry about. I guess those thoughts of feeling unappreciated and nitpicked ("but you're a great teacher!) at work are starting to invade my sleep.

Don't know if I'm grinding my teeth in my sleep or if I am getting a cavity because my teeth are sensitive. Sometimes my wisdom teeth bother me before AF, but these are molars. Luckily I already have an appointment on Friday.

CS/Q: Nope. Last two temps are the highest I've had since I started charting.

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both?

I have more female friends because of the way our country socializes kids. My education major was mostly females in college and most of the sports I played were team sports with girls. I do have a lot of guy friends from playing co-ed soccer when I was younger and co-ed softball now. I totally think that guys and girls can be friends without anything else going on.

KhRun17 · November 2016

@NYTino24 - yeah! We waited it out! Tomorrow is the pee pact.

CD/DPO: 23/9

Timing: EOD+

Testing: Tomorrow! Tuesday Pee Pact!

R/R: Last night I just flipped out on DH for not helping clean up around the house enough. I've mentioned this before on here, but DH was pretty baby'd by MIL, so he never really learned to help out around the house...she just always did everything. Yesterday, I just got so frustrated and I don't know what I have to do or say to get him to change! I'm always cleaning up the kitchen, sweeping floors, putting dishes in/out of dishwasher, taking out the trash, doing laundry. He literally has only helped with any of those chores once or twice since we got married. I almost want to make a chore chart or something... I know he's capable of them, because he lived on his own for 2 years of grad school, and I was only here part time for the first 8 months in our new town. AGH. If anyone has tips to get YH to help around the house, please share!!

CS/Q: Just the above in my rant.

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? Definitely girls! I have a group of friends that we've all known each other since 1st grade and they're my closest friends. Then, beyond that my closest friends from college are the girls I lived with.

hupp0013 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: -2,-1, and O

Testing: 11/9 to start I think

R/R: Time changes and kids do not mix. DD2 was up really early.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both?
It has changed throughout the years. When I was young it was more girls. After HS, I had more guy friends. I have more girl friends now.

Anna_1021 · November 2016

@NYTino24 Sorry for the bad dream and the dilemmas regarding work. It has a was to eat at you, hope soon you'll have much sweeter things to worry about

FX for the Pact!

@KhRun17 It can be difficult to share chores with DH sometimes. I know it's not a huge idea, but what worked for us is that we dedicated some chores to be his. There was a transformation period of course where I had to be patient but with time it stuck. Like taking out the trash, and (wierdly) doing laundry. For everything else I still have to ask for, if I need help, but it worked out well to slowly make a few taksk "HIS". Now he does them without me nugging him. Hope it helps a little, and GL with DH

And FX for tomorrow

Month/Cycle: 13/8 (that counts anyway)

CD/DPO: 28/9

Timing: great

Testing: Wednesday. I've decided. Hope I can resist the urge to join the Pee Pact tomorrow

(feels like it would be too early for me)

R/R: Rant: not really a rant but have to say I'm in sort of a rollercoaster this cycle. I was so optimistic and excited that "this might be it" for a while, and now, since yesterday evening I feel like I'm out. Like I'd have any way to know, LOL :P I can be so stupid with the TWW, sorry

So I'm just chillin' now, sitting here and waiting it to be decided in one way or the other what's gonna happen in this cycle. But if AF won't show, I'll definitely test on Wednesday!

Rave: I'm super excited for the Pee Pact ladies!

Major FX for you girls, I'm gonna be here (and on appropriate threads of course

) waiting for the news

Might even learn how to GIF to celebrate the Pact.
Yup, I did:

Image: https://media.giphy.com/media/1uD9kI1bgf3Y4/giphy.gif

CS/Q: Nope.

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? Mostly girls now that I'm really close to. There was a time though when it was egual a few years back, but it is more difficult to keep up friendships with the guys from our firend group now that we are all married. It's always a couples meeting, since now the girls are part of the group too. Sometimes I miss the one-to-ones with the guys, but asking only THEM out for a "drink" or sg just would feel wierd a bit.

(edited: learnt how to gif

lulu1180 · November 2016

@NYTino24 Fx for you and the rest of the pee pact ladies tomorrow!

@KhRun17 I wish I had some advice. DH is probably better than I am at keeping the house clean

Month/Cycle: 5/7

CD/DPO: 12/5

Timing: -4, -2, -1

Testing: waiting for AF

R/R: 1. I’m not too ashamed to say that after church I rubbed a little bit of holy water on my lower abdomen. If you’re confused by this, here’s my original post - https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/comment/89369981/#Comment_89369981

2. I had my first bfp dream since we started TTC. I dreamed that I had an expired hpt and I just wanted to get rid of it so I peed on it (makes total sense, right??) and there was a faint line, but it was way too early for a test to turn. Like only 5 DPO. I was so confused in the dream

3. *TW* Pregnancy mentioned

Yesterday, MIL told me that one of DH’s good friends wife is expecting. I wasn’t upset at all by this because I know that they had been trying for about 2 years. This actually gives me a little hope.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? More girls I guess. I’ve never really stopped to think about it or count.

Month/Cycle: 19/23

CD/DPO: 21/6

Timing: -5, -2

Testing: no point

R/R: DH is working early shifts this week so he has to be up an hour before me, which is not typical. The cats get all riled up when he gets up and start chasing each other around so I end up waking up too

CS/Q:

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? Girls

NYTino24 · November 2016

@KhRun17 Would discussing hiring a cleaning service scare him into helping? DH and I have split chores and most of the time we do what the other doesn't like doing. If we both hate it, I am doing it now and he will do it when we have kids. He works 24 hour shifts, so chores are a little tipped towards my side.

starla · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 39/14

Timing: -4, -2, 0

Testing: BFN

R/R: Rant: It's Monday, I woke up with awful cramps this morning, and the time change didn't help me get up this morning.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both?
I used to have more guy friends now it's even I think because a lot of our friends are couples.

ColoradoHiker · November 2016

I'm out ladies, AF showed up a few days early yesterday. I'm not surprised, (although I was hoping) we only decided to actively start TTC right at my ovulation time, so I knew our chances were pretty low this month. Heading over to WTO! GL with the Pee Pact tomorrow, I'll be lurking to see how it all goes.

ETA-
@KhRun17 , I totally hear you. My MIL coddled DH too. He would finish a glass and literally two minutes later she would have it cleaned up already. It took a lot to 'train' him to pick up after himself, and it's started all over again now that my in-laws watch DS almost full time. It's so frustrating.

krys-2 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 25/10 (insert shocked face here)

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

Testing: If nothing in the next day or so, yes

R/R: This is officially my longest LP - I hadn't made it past 9. Last month was a whopping 5 days. So if nothing else, I'm freaking PUMPED that this is getting better.

CS/Q: I didn't temp this month, so #nothingtoseehere

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? I'd say both, maybe a little bit more on the girl side.

NYTino24 - work stuff is the worst. I feel like I can finally talk about my shit a little bit...my past 3 months were me starting a MAJOR coup because I was about to quit. It wasn't so much of an ultimatum as it was "we need to fix this shit". It's finally all played out (well, almost), and I got my boss, our VP, and our COO fired along with getting our other director demoted. Suffice it to say, people finally listened. I feel like a major weight has been lifted because it was all this play out just as it did, or starting over somewhere else after 10 years, which I just wasn't ready to do. andplusalso - FX wicked hard for you and can I get in on pee day?!

@KhRun17 - no tips. Well maybe one. Try crying. LOL. My husband worked my last the other day at lunch and I flat out started crying at our table (we were out). ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the apologies and help the rest of the weekend. I'm NOT a crier, at least in front of him...but I had had it...and now I'm going to try that more hahahahhahahahahaha

@Anna_1021 - not putting that you're out into the universe, missy! STAHP!

starla · November 2016

@NYTino24 that sounds reasonable to me. FX!

@KhRun17 What others have said about giving DH his own chores that he's responsible for. Also my DH says he's more likely to help if we do th chores together. I like to put on music and have a beer when I clean to make it more fun. LOL Also I've found that getting mad is only going to stress yourself out. My DH hates doing dishes and although I don't love it either, I just do it sometimes because it stresses me out way more to see the sink full of dishes!

starla · November 2016

@lulu1180 I had a dream over ge weekend that I gave birth! My dreams this LP have been insane. Let's hope these are good omens!

lulu1180 · November 2016

@Starla Fx for you. But just so you know, vivid dreams are very common during the LP.

Anna_1021 · November 2016

@Krys Ok, I won't do it again!!

I start thinking only positive thoughts now

(you're right)

starla · November 2016

@lulu1180 Yes I did know that.

CallaLily25 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD/DPO: 24/ 8 DPO

Timing: -3,-1,O, +1

Testing: Maybe at 10 DPO, trying to hold out until 11 DPO

R/R: Our first wedding anniversary is in a week! It would be the best gift to get a BFP, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen. Definitely having PMS symptoms.

CS/Q: This may sound crazy, but on 6 DPO, I slipped down the stairs and got a bit bruised up (I'm dumb lol). After that, I was just emotionally spent and kind of had a bit of a crying break down. Could all of that affect implantation? Dr. Google simultaneously made me feel crazy and made me paranoid (reading about women who say things like don't take hot baths or exercise around implantation time lol). I'm fully aware that this probably sounds insane, but I just was kicking myself for doing anything that could jeopardize our chances.

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? I'd say a mix of both.

adirat · November 2016

@Krys Yayyyy! I'm so glad it's lengthening!

@LadyMillil I'm not sure if you saw my post yesterday, but I was wondering if the RE you're waiting to see has a gynecologist they can recommend (in their practice or someone they work with) who would be sensitive to IF issues? My fingers are crossed for you.

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: CD20/5dpo

Timing: 0, -5 (lol @ deciding to TTC on O day)

Testing: Probably Thursday/8dpo in case I need to start progesterone

R/R: Back home, yay!

And I have another acupuncture appointment today, yay! I spent the weekend in DC walking about 8 miles per day with my cousin, so I can use some rest and lay around time.

CS/Q: Temp drop to coverline today at 5dpo. That's too soon for an "implantation dip," right? Boo.

GTKY: In my life it has been a mix. Like @NYTino24 points out, a lot of it is socialization related. My best friends from college are both men.

NYTino24 · November 2016

@Krys Yes, you can totally join!!! Every time I start a thread, I think of you and @BusinessWife because you always had it ready when I woke up. Glad work is settling down. I thought you were just super busy with LLR. I think about you guys a lot and have my Fx for you.

krys-2 · November 2016

@NYTino24 - I KNOW! I feel like, if I can get on at all, it's like...8PM and by then I'm all "what's the point now?". Work has just been batshit nuts and my mornings are now a circus compared to at least having a few minutes to jump in first thing. Oy. Hopefully it'll all start unwinding soon - I'm about to reorg our team and hopefully take some of what I've been juggling OFF of my plate. I'm going to try to be better. ha

spiderlover25 · November 2016

@KhRun17 I agree with the other ladies to outline specific chores so he knows what to look for.

@hupp0013 ugh sorry you were up so early. My DD got up at 2:30 and I thought it was morning so I almost brought her downstairs. Luckily DH stopped me and told me what time it was so I got her back in bed.

@CallaLily25 Your ute is pretty protected so I don't think a fall will hurt your chances.

@adirat How do you like acupuncture? I've been thinking about trying it.

Month/Cycle: 17/7

CD/DPO: 25/10 (I counted wrong yesterday)

Timing: ED

Testing: Tuesday pee pact!

R/R: It's Monday and I started a fitness accountability group today but I don't feel like working out. I guess I better get to the gym before I find excuses.

CS/Q: none

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? A mix of both. My best friend for a long time was a guy. We are still super close but we live far apart and we both have significant others/busy lives so we don't talk as much as we used to. He is getting ready to propose and I'm super excited for him!

I thoroughly second this -- always great to see you! You are on my short list of people whose BFPs would excite me even more than my own!

adirat · November 2016

@spiderlover25
Acupuncture is a tricky topic but here's my two cents. I first went about three or four years ago when I developed terrible jaw pain (TMJ) and my doctor basically told me there was nothing to be done about it except avoid chewy foods (wtf) and hope it goes away. "Hope it goes away" is a ludicrous suggestion and I was desperate -- I was in pain and could barely eat. My mom suggested I try acupuncture, but I was super skeptical because I thought it was dumb and could never work, plus at the time I couldn't find any research evidence about it. But like I said, I was desperate and acupuncture was covered by my insurance at the time so eventually I said what the hell and went to a place near my house. I went one time and my jaw felt SO much better. I went a second time and my jaw pain was completely gone. I went literally twice and that was it. I couldn't believe it. I am not a believer in things like that but I couldn't deny that my pain was gone. Maybe it was the placebo effect but it was gone! (fwiw my dentist told me that TMJ that goes away with acupuncture is stress-related so my experience may not be typical. Mine was definitely stress-related)

Since then some medical trials have shown small but statistically significant impacts for acupuncture on things like pain and chronic illness -- typically things that western medicine isn't great at treating. I have horrible pain from endometriosis so I started going again when I went off BCP in order to TTC. I find that it really alleviates my severe menstrual cramps. I've also been going a few days before I ovulate because my acupuncturist suggested it to help fertility -- though it's been six cycles without a positive, so it certainly isn't a smoking gun. That said, I find acupuncture incredibly relaxing. I stay destressed for hours. If it has no "real" effect except that it helps me destress enough to get pregnant, that is worth it to me.

I live in NY, which is an expensive part of the country, and pay $70 per session. It's just $50 per session where my parents live in Arizona. Sometimes it is covered by insurance. If you are interested, I recommend you look for a practitioner with a Masters in Acupuncture/Chinese Medicine specifically. Don't go to a chiropractor or somebody who "also" does acupuncture. You should also check whether your state requires licensure for acupuncture, as this will ensure that the practice is following public health standards.

Happy to chat more about it if you have questions!

Also, hi! I'm not sure we have talked before. Welcome to TTGP.

haylsbayls-2 · November 2016

Argh. Bump ate my post. I totally understand what other posters are talking about now!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: EOD

Testing: Have a bunch of wondfos so will start 8DPO

R/R: Bummed about the Broncos loss. Also I've been feeling very unmotivated at work lately so I'm staying in bed as long as possible.

GYKY: I would say even mix since most of our friends are couples

FX for the pee pact ladies tomorrow! I'm SO excited to login tomorrow morning.

@CallaLily25 I think you should be fine! I understand the crazy though, I wanted to take a hot bath last night but made the mistake of consulting google.

@KhRun17 I second everyone else saying you should make a list. Find out what chores he hates the most and designate those to him.

Eta: bump ate my post

AngelaPlus3 · November 2016

I hate not knowing where I belong...
*TW* I had a loss and was told we could start trying as soon as bleeding stopped. We did that, and I had all my typical signs of ovulation but no temping. So this is where I'm posting for now. I might be here for a long time waiting for my next cycle to start, or it might be a short stay. Who knows... hopefully that's okay? *end TW*

Month/Cycle: 5/5 (1 post loss)

CD/DPO: 15/2 ?

Timing: -3,-1,O

Testing: Not for a long, long time. Like if I make it 3 weeks from now.

R/R: I kinda posted it as my preface, just hate being in this inbetween limbo.

CS/Q: Nope, nothing this cycle.

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? A majority of the friends in my life are couple/family friends so it's pretty even. Maybe a couple more female, but not many.

spiderlover25 · November 2016

@adirat Thanks for all the info. I am also in NY but way upstate and the challenge here would be to find someone certified. I would probably have to travel a bit. Thanks for the welcome too! I've been lurking for a while but decided to jump in this week. I intro'ed under my other name (purpleroseinNJ) but the bump wouldn't let me sign back into that name so I made a new one. Since I'm not in NJ anymore, I think I'll stick with this name.

laurad75 · November 2016

My fingers are crossed so hard for everyone in the pee pact.
@krys WTG on the longer LP. I know this has been a concern for you. FX for you too!!

@adirat I have acupuncture tonight too. I think I'm going to be super drowsy when I get home and will want to go right to bed.

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD/DPO: 20/6 DPO/ 7 DPIUI

Timing:-4, -3, -2, -1= IUI, O

Testing: 11/14

R/R: the wknd was too quick.

CS/Q: not today

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? Girls for sure.

kiki75 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 9 months, 2/2 TTCAL

CD/DPO: 19/4

Timing: -5, -2, O, +1

R/R: Can it be Friday again?

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Probably guys. I have my own female friends but once you add in H's friends and brothers, I like their wives but I much prefer to hang out with the guys. It just seems to flow better with them whereas with the ladies I'm always really having to work at it.

@AngelaPlus3 I am so very sorry for your loss. As for where you're supposed to be, just be wherever you're most comfortable.

@Krys Glad things are getting better at work! Sounds like a major shakeup around there.

adirat · November 2016

@spiderlover25 So if I recall correctly, there are acupuncture schools in both Albany and Seneca Falls, so there may be more options than you'd think. FX!

@laurad75 Oh yeah, if I go to acupuncture in the evening, I basically come home and put on pajamas and that's it for me.

lund · November 2016

@NYTino24 yikes, those are big decisions! FX LO is on his/her way and you have to breech those topics sooner than later! Yay for high temps!!!

@KhRun17 oh man, that's a tough one! I can't stand men who don't pitch in around the house. Maybe only wash your own clothes and your own dishes for a while to show him how much you do? Of course you'd have to be ok with the house getting really gross for a while.....(just read through responses and I like @NYTino24 's idea of threatening to hire a cleaning person!)

@Anna_1021 LOL love the gif!!! And, I'm impressed with your willpower to not POAS

@lulu1180 FX that your dream is a good omen and that the holy water worked

@Starla sorry for the BFN

@ColoradoHiker ugh, so sorry for CD1 lady. FX that you're heading back to WTO for the last time!

@Krys whoop whoop!!! Yay lengthening LP! And you can absolutely join tomorrow's Pee Pact!

@haylsbayls ugh, I know. I stopped watching the game last night because it was depressing.

@AngelaPlus3 so, so sorry for your loss. You can absolutely hang out here or wherever you feel most connected. We're here for you! *creepy internet hugs*

__________________________

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 24/8 or 9

Timing: Good. Either -4, -2, -1, +1 or -5, -3, -2, 0, +2

Testing: tomorrow's Pee Pact!

R/R: Trying (and failing miserably) to not get my hopes up for tomorrow. I keep trying to tell myself that, if this isn't my cycle, I get to spend the weekend cuddling with my wine glass and watching all of my favorite shows because DH will be gone hunting. This is his first time deer hunting, and I really hope he bags a deer because it would fill our freezer with highly nutritious, organic meat. Organic, grass-fed beef/chicken/pork is REALLY expensive around here and makes DH flip out about how much money I spend on food.

Also, for those of you interested in alternative/natural deodorant - I just got some Piper Wai natural deodorant and I really like it so far! It doesn't contain any baking soda, so it doesn't irritate the skin.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? I'm the type of person who generally has a lot of acquaintances, but only a couple close friends at any given time. I'd say that I usually have more girl friends, but since moving here I definitely have more guy friends. Which, I'm sure is fun fuel for the small town rumor mill lol.

*ETA things don't make sense unless I spell them correctly...

wabash15 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 24/10

Timing: excellent, but not good enough

Testing: BFN today, I was weirdly nervous prior to testing this morning, I don't know why since I have no reason to believe a non-medicated cycle would be successful.

R/R: we are 98% done with raking leaves...60, yes 60 yard bags worth!! its monday and I'm just waiting to see how long my LP will be this cycle. Oh I do have one more rant. I have a fairly specialized job and am on call 24/7/365. so if I want to go more than an hour away from my house I have to find someone to cover for me at this point there is only one other person in town that can cover for me... well that person had some medical stuff come up and has no idea when they might be available to be my back up again.... so that means I can't go anywhere for the foreseeable future. UGGG it just feels so restrictive.... there are things I want to do and can't.... Ok pitty party over!

CS/Q: nope, temp up, hopes down

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? we have made more couples friends especially after the kiddos but my closest friends are girls

@NYTino24 sorry work is invading your dreams and isn't the happiest place.

@khrun17 we actually do have a chore chart. We have listed all of the chores that need to be done on a weekly basis. I had him help me come up with what chores should be on the weekly list. I still have to ask him to do some of them but I think DH likes to cross things off the list. GL I know its super frustrating... when DH and I were living in 2 separate cities for a while his apartment was a disaster...

@hupp0013 I so feel you on the time change thing.... what a cruel joke

@starla sorry for the BFN
@ColoradoHiker sorry CD1, be good to yourself

@krys Hooray for a longer LP!!!

@AngelaPlus3 I am so sorry for your loss and hope your stay back here is short.

doula-mama · November 2016

@AngelaPlus3 Sorry for your loss - you've got a great group supporting you here though!

@lulu1180 FX that the holy water helps! I think like acupuncture (which I haven't done for TTC but do for migraines), it doesn't always matter why it works (if it just gives you the extra confidence, or if it makes a tangible difference), any help is good

@ColoradoHiker Sorry for AF - hopefully you were able to wrap up the weekend with a nice bottle of wine!

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD/DPO: 32/10

Timing: 0, 1

Testing: maybe tomorrow with the pee pact? depends what my temps do (see R/R below)

R/R: I woke up early again (thanks to the time change) - it was only an hour and a bit before I usually temp, but my temperature had dropped big time. I'm pretty sure that means AF will show up on Wednesday, right on schedule (so if it's still low tomorrow, I will save the FRER for next cycle). I know it's ridiculous (and I definitely don't expect any sympathy), nothing about me (PCOS) and the timing (DH out of town until day of O) makes me think that we would be one of those annoying couples who gets KU on the first cycle - but that doesn't mean that I didn't still let myself go a bit BSC and get my hopes up, especially when my temp spiked yesterday.

CS/Q: Nope, just waiting to see what happens tomorrow, but pretty sure AF is almost here

GTKY: Definitely more women, but still a mix of both

dragonfly87-2 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 13 or 14DPO

Timing: -1 or -2

Testing: Tested this morning, BFN. No AF yet, but moving over to the WTO thread because I am pretty certain I am out. Best of luck to all of you and I will return to this thread at the end of this month!

ETA: Experienced some spotting today, so pretty sure it's AF.

R/R: I just want AF to arrive!!! (never thought I would say that)

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both?

Honestly, I don't have a ton of friends that are nearby. I had quite a few in college, but then we moved away from each other. Now, I have one really good friend (girl) and then mostly hang out with DH's friends (a mix of both).

@NYTino24 @KhRun17 this pee pact really helped me to not test yesterday or today!

@KhRun17 I have had similar problems with my DH. Just by seeing my inlaws home I know he was raised with a different standard of cleanliness. It can be pretty filthy over there. He is a lot better now, but usually if he sees me cleaning and I ask him to help he will. We also have a deal that if he cooks I do kitchen clean up and visa versa. He also takes out trash and does most yard work, so I try to remind myself of that when I'm folding his laundry.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 27/12

Timing: -3, -2, O, +1

Testing: Will test tomorrow for the Tuesday pee pact if I'm still in it.

R/R: I had some cramping start last night and a little this morning. I'm pretty sure I'm out. I think I'm taking it better this month than last, but AF still hasn't officially started so I'm sure when it hits and I don't have that glimmer of hope I will be on the couch with ice cream and tissues.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? I think slightly more guy friends. More of my long time friends are guys.

@KhRun17 I agree with having a conversation and kind of laying out who would be responsible for what chores. There is no reason for you to try to take it all on on your own. @lulu1180 Yes, you did it!!!!! FX it works! @ColoradoHiker Sorry for AF!! @AngelaPlus3 So sorry for your loss. @wabash15 Sorry for the BFN

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 25/11

Timing: -5,-3,-1

Testing: Still holding out for the Pee Pact tomorrow!! FX everyone!!!

R/R: Eh, nothing really. Pretty tired today, but other than that it has been a pretty typical Monday so far.

CS/Q: No thanks!

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? When I was younger it was definitely more guys than girls, but at this point I feel like it has kind of evened out. However, I think that is likely a result of my guy friends being in long term relationships/getting married.

@CallaLily I fell yesterday, but on my side. Don't go down the Google hole - everything you find is someone asking if they are okay. You wouldn't even be able to blame a fall on not implanting and even then the cells are like a tiny speck at this point and very well cushioned inside you!
@AngelaPlus3 Sorry for your loss, but welcome back!

Sorry for the BFNs today, ladies!

JuneRoseRuby · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 11/9

CD/DPO: 21/5

Timing:-3, -2, -1, +1

Testing: Not until AF is late if my will power is strong enough. Too many BFN disappointments in the past, that I generally don't get the urge to test unless I have gone down the rabbit hole with symptoms

R/R:Rave-I had such a great weekend with my BFF and her family visiting me. Her 2 year old kept calling my H and I "the kids" which was making us laugh. It was really encouraging to see my H playing so well with the 2 year old. It reassured me that he will be great with our babies once I get KFTU! My BFF also has PCOS and she gave me a bunch of her herbs and oils that she got from her herbologist and she got KU without medical intervention this time. So onto the oils! If anyone is interested in what they are, I can share some of the links she sent.

CS/Q: Nothing really. 5 temps above my cover line, but weird that I have had majorly sore boobs since I O's. Typically I get soreness exactly 6 days before AF. Not sure whats going on in my body.

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? I always was friends with more boys. I couldn't take the girl drama and emotions! As I have gotten older and girls matured, I have a really good close group of girls that I love, but definitely relate to boys when out having fun on the town. Good thing my H is confident in our relationship and he has never questioned me or doubted me.

@KhRun17 I can completely relate to the H baby'd by MIL. He has no idea how to do chores and doesn't notice mess or dirty unless I specifically say...clean your pee off the toilet before guests come. I have also found a system that works. If I write things I need done down on our white board in the kitchen, he will do it, but if I write it down on a piece of paper, it doesn't ever get done.
@ColoradoHiker Sorry for CD 1. Be nice to yourself today
@AngelaPlus3 So sorry for your struggles.
@lund I switched to natural deodorant a few years ago because to be honest, I never needed deodorant until I got off BCP! However, I only use natural, and I have found that I only need to use it during certain parts of my cycle. Definitely during AF... FU body, as if I am not already broken, you make me stink too..

@LuND I know! I don't understand how we go from winning the superbowl to having someone like Siemian being our QB?! Bring back Manning!!!! haha or at least give Sanchez a shot. I'm going to the New Years day game against the Raiders and they better get their shit together by then!

MrsN092714 · November 2016

@nytino24 I hope those high temps have good reason!
@hupp0013 The time changes has not gone over well at my house either...
@angelaplus3 my first cycle after our loss was weird too. It was a long cycle, I had 5 days of positive OPKs and wasn't temping and the whole thing made my brain hurt. I am so sorry for your loss. I know how it creeps up out of nowhere and slaps you in the face. Hugs.
@starla @wabash15 sorry for the bfn today.
@coloradohiker sorry about cd1. Fx this is your last time in WTO

Month/Cycle: 4/ 2AL

CD/DPO: 27/ 10

Timing: was good

Testing: peek pact tomorrow

R/R: it's Monday... my son has swimming lessons and I need to grocery shopping and all of it falls right within nap time. we live half an hour from town so I have to keep him awake on the drive home which is awful but I really need him to nap at home so I can catch up on paperwork.

CS/Q: highest temp I've seen this cycle today! I don't know why but I feel good about this cycle... guses we will find out tomorrow.

GTKY: Do you have more friends that are guys, girls, or an even mix of both? I definitely have more close girlfriends. I worked in an industry with very few girls and have a lot of man friends as well but as for who I hang out with, my girls win.

@khrun17 DH and I end up having major discussions regarding housework every few months because he starts slipping. It's frustrating! Last time I threatened hiring someone and it's been fine since...

@wabash15 That's crazy about your job! Can they find an additional person so it's not just 2 of you?

@angelaplus3 I'm sorry for your loss. My first cycle post loss was definitely a weird one but I hope you figure out things soon.

Guys I am pretty sure I don't belong here. My chart is a total mess - so much for traveling and DST not making a huge difference. But I spend like three weeks out of each cycle in WTO so I'm not going back yet

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 23/5 according to FF

Timing:

Testing:

R/R: FF took away CH yesterday and then gave tJen back today?! WTF. I'm hoping I can get some solid temps in the next few days and make sense of this madness.

CS/Q: let me just leave this here:

GTKY: I have more female friends. We do have some couple friends and male friends from college, but I'm a girl's girl for sure.
