GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
Testing: Saturday or Sunday. I def. wont test super early on Friday. Definitely not. Nope. Nope, not at all. (Help me)
R/R: Oh, you know, just started SS on 4 DPO, cuz that seems legit. TMI***- Last night I had, what I KNOW are implantation cramps. I then had a nice poop, and that probably is zero percent related (OBVIOUSLY)...so yea! This is gonna be a fun week, guys. A fun week.
CS/Q: Nope. Just chuggin along.
GTKY:

yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't
love/wish you could change about yourself?
I love my sense of humor. 80% of people seriously dislike me when they first meet me, because my sense of humor is very dry and sarcastic, but after about a week when people realize that half of what comes out of my mouth isn't real, or I don't really mean that, most people end up loving me and finding me funny. On the flip side, it means some people don't give me a chance unless they are forced to, so thats also one thing I wish I could change. I try to reign it in when I first meet people, but it just comes out like a waterfall of bitch. Whatever. I think i'm funny.
Testing: well, I had said Monday. But the weekend means football and football means beer so I might only make it til Saturday (which would be super early but I'd rather see a negative and know it's ok to drink than get a positive later and wonder if it's a bad idea)
R/R: my big running group is having a Friendsgiving tonight. I so don't cook but I found a stuffing recipe where you dump 2 boxes of stovetop, a can of mushroom soup, and 3 cups chicken broth in a crockpot and set on high for 2-4 hours. That I can do! Here's hoping it tastes good!
CS/Q: so still had cramping all the way through last night. I'm hoping it's not another uti (though I have no other symptoms). Or I wonder if it's from eating pineapple core. Any ideas?
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself? I love that I always did well in school. It came easy to me. I hate that I can't say no. I've been trying to work on it but then I just feel guilty.
@purplg8r I'm glad to see you over here too! That stuffing recipe actually sounds pretty good, let us know how it turns out!
Month/Cycle: 6/5 (2AL)
CD/DPO: 30/5 ( @kiwi2628 we're DPO twins, and I don't plan on testing until at LEAST Sunday. You can hold out, I promise!)
Timing: -2, O
Testing: 12 dpo or longer
R/R: I'm just so relieved to finally go here. WTO is always hell for me so I don't mind the TWW. Also, because I'm beyond BSC at this point, I'm already walking around here like I'm pregnant. I've looked up my due date, calculated how far long I'd be for events, etc etc. On the flip side, my estimated AF for NEXT cycle is Christmas Eve. I mean REALLY that's just mean.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
I love my intelligence, I don't love my current weight.
Testing: BFN, duh. I know it's stupid early. I won't test again until Thursday.
R/R: RAWR. There's that dreaded temp drop this morning that I was hoping to avoid for a few more days. In the past it's been a drop at 7 dpo, and never a full recovery, then my period just 2-3 days later.
CS/Q: So FF has me at 8 DPO, but my OPK wasn't positive until late in the day and I really think I'm at 7 DPO. Any opinions? The only reason it matters is because I have my 7 DPO bloodwork today (couldn't do yesterday obviously) and I want to be as accurate as possible when I tell them what day I am.
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself? This answer would have been different a few years ago, but I really appreciate my empathy. I feel everyone's feelings, and I think it's a blessing. I wish I could be less anxious, I have real anxiety issues (general and panic attacks) that I haven't been able to get under control over the last few years.
R/R: Last time I bought laundry detergent, I somehow managed to pick up one bottle of HE and the other non-HE. I didn't realize it until yesterday when I opened the second bottle and put it in my HE washing machine. You should have seen the suds in the washing machine. It was BAD! I followed all the instructions for how to get the suds out but the cloth diapers I had in the load absorbed so much of it (I mean, that's what diapers are made to do). I had attempted a second wash without adding more detergent but it just suds up again. Had to run the machine through its "recovery" again and ended up hand rinsing all the cloth diapers. Companies need to make it way more obvious what is HE and what isn't. The only difference in the two bottles was a teeny, tiny sticker on the one bottle neck. Not how I wanted my Sunday to go!
(not quite this but yeah...)
CS/Q: None
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself? I love my hair. It's naturally curly/wavy and behaves really well. I try not to focus on negative things about myself.
@kiwi2628 sounds like you and I have similar personalities!

@kiwi2628 Your GIFs made me LOL. TTC in a nutshell.
@purplg8r Saying no has always been so hard for me (probably because of the feeling other people's feelings thing), and recently I've been doing it more. It's still so hard, but it feels so good!
Testing:Tomorrow if I can get up the guts to test, definitely Wednesday. H's appointment with his endo is Thursday and if it is BFN, then I am going with him to start talking to his endo about testing for him.
R/R: Sewed a ton over the weekend for a customer, but I have a craft show this weekend and I didn't get any sewing done for that so I am really behind.
CS/Q: I HATE temp drops, even .1. I HATE them. They make me BSC in a bad way. They make me spiral downwards. That being said, I had a .1 today, even though it is above my CL. Feel free to stalk in my siggy if you want

I need to work on keeping some of my honesty to myself sometimes...
@kiwi2628 Ha! I am super opposite as you! I am terrified to test, I hate to test, so I run to the bathroom and pee immediately so I can be like, nope, already lost FMU, maybe tomorrow. I usually don't test unless I am really BSC. @hartmich CD1, I calculate my due date. Every cycle. Although your cycles are long, so do you calculate based on O date? @bumpybump that washing machine story sounds terrible!! Straight out of a movie.

@juneroseruby Haha yeah I have to wait til O date so I can calculate my "due date". Because my cycles are so long, I actually never had a possible due date in July! Crazy. Also, with your temp drop, I wouldn't worry, that's such a slight drop it could be caused by anything. When I have temp drops, they are like a full degree.
*lurking from WTO* @nikkiandchris Without the CM information after CD 15 it's difficult to say if CD 16 could have been O. I know plenty of ladies on here have the O date correspond to the same day they get a + OPK

R/R: not looking forward to this week. We're hosting thanksgiving so this whole week will consist of cleaning and prepping. Also being BSC and testing everyday isn't making me a happy gal.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
hmmmm. I wish I could change how much I worry about things and stop stressing myself out about things I can't control. I love that I'm pretty adventurous and would try most things once.

@hartmich I feel you on the BSC, I'm 4dpo and my brain is already all
@nikkiandchris my temp dropped this morning too (4dpo)....hopefully your temps rise again, FX for you!
@bumpybump I always wanted to know what would happen if you put non-HE detergent in a HE washer...the more you know.....sorry that happened but glad you were able to fix it
@JuneRoseRuby it seems like my temps are rocky mountain/erratic in a predictable manner- my temps have dropped on 4dpo twice now, and it always throws me for a loop.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 17/4
Timing: -5, -3, -1
Testing: 12dpo on 11/22
R/R: I never thought I would be the one to SS, but wow has the BSC started. I feel like I need a crash helmet.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
I love how much of a perfectionist I am, but I don't like how I can be such a perfectionist that I irritate people while trying to help them.
I make a lot of first bday outfits, newborn picture outfits, birthday teeshirts, lots of baby items. I am pretty good at making something as long as I have a picture of what you want. The diaper cover is backwards in the picture. The ruffles go on her little baby bottom.
@bumpybump I put it in a spoiler just in case people do not want to see it if you're having a hard TTC day. Its baby clothes.
@lulu1180 Thank you so much, that made me tear up at work! Trying to remain hopeful!

@kiwi2628 You can hold out!!! Embrace the BSC... @purplg8r let me know how that stuffing comes out. That's my kind of recipe. @hartmich I already know how I'll tell my family if I'm pregnant this cycle. And EDD would be the day after my late father's birthday. So I'm all, yeah, totally KTFU. @nikkiandchris sorry for the BFN and temp drop I'm in the same boat as you as far as O-day ambiguity. Do you usually O the day after a positive OPK? How far off was your open circle 1dpo temp? I totally get why FF has you that day.... But if your 1dpo temp should be different, that might lend some clarity. Maybe try adjusting it for time and see what happens? I do that if my temp time is off for some reason. Like this morning >.< @bumpybump ugh, that sounds miserable. At least you know everything (including your washer) is very VERY clean, lol
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: -2, O
Testing: Wednesday at 10dpo
R/R: I would have had a temp spike this morning, I think, except that I temped an hour early because DD2 woke at 4. And I had a huge spike on 8dpo last month that was for naught, so I'm feeling pessimistic. But at the same time, I usually would have had some cramps or something in mid-LP, but I've had nothing, so that's different. Any sane person would take all this and say it's all meaningless and stop over-analyzing. And then there's me.
CS/Q: nada
GTKY: I am very passionate about things I believe in, which I like. I actually have been pretty apathetic about politics in recent years, and my passion has returned some. But I'm hyper-emotional and overly sensitive. I cry easily (even/especially in anger) and I'm hurt easily and I wish I could change that.
Testing: If I don't get my brown tinged creamy CM tomorrow then Wednesday. If I do get it as expected then idk if I will even bother testing.
R/R: Its Monday.
CS/Q: Nope. Trying not to read into my chart or SS.
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
@nikkiandchris we are basically the same person!! That's definitely my answer to the GTKY. I used to hate how deeply other people's emotions affect me. But now I fully embrace it. God made me this way for a reason so I try to use my empathy to help others as much as I can. If I could change my anxiety however, I would do it in a heartbeat. GAD sucks a fat one.
R/R: Still have ten more days til testing, but I'm not feeling too crazy yet. It's helpful to not be temping at this point because it forces me to chill out.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself? Love - I love that I consciously work towards becoming wiser. Work on - Sometimes I still make assumptions about things or people and it blocks me from gaining knowledge.
Testing: I could test tomorrow but I feel like that's setting myself up for disappointment. Hopefully I can hold off.
R/R: The saga of my car - the guy at the dealership told me my car was safe to drive and would not damage it further. Well, he was wrong and my gas tank collapsed and now I have to find $3,000 to fix what would have only been $300.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself? This is a hard one for me today. I have been told I have nice eyes, but I would like to change my physical shape.
@hqinmd- I do usually O the day after the positive. Once it was the day of, but the positive was early morning versus late afternoon. I have to play around with that temp. Damn you Daylight Savings.
@sheknows6- Sorry for the temp drop. I hate temping in the TWW even though I know it's important. It's such a mind you know what.
@lulu1180- CM has been pretty much non existent since I marked it last.
@kiwi2628 Sounds like you have the same sense of humor as my husband. Definitely something that I had to get used to but it's one of the things I love about him now.
@purplg8r I hope your stuffing turns out yummy! Hope you have fun tonight.
@hartmich I hate WTO also. I'm sure I'll be there any day now.
@antoto I try to remind myself to always work towards leaning new things.

Testing: BFN on Thursday. Just going to wait for AF to show up.
R/R:
We bought a new couch last week. Did some rearranging in the living room yesterday and I have so much more room than I had before. Just in time for the holidays.
@Dilynne What a punch to the wallet! That sucks! Did you get any paperwork stating what they said?

It's so ridiculous. The guy I deal with is a complete idiot and I have told them on multiple occasions that I would no longer deal with him. The dealership is doing the work, but what I'm hoping is that that they'll buy it back from me in cash for what it is worth without being broken because it wouldn't be broken if that guy hadn't screwed up. I don't have any paperwork stating it was safe, only the idiot's word. We'll have to see but this girl is furious and might let the rage flow free.
ETA: @cmorris07 Car problems are the worst. And they've got me in this awful minivan that sounds like the wheel bearing is about to go, the heat doesn't work, the brakes are iffy and the cruise control doesn't work.
@kiwi2628 stay strong! You don't want to test too early and see that (possible) bfn simply because it's too early! I am 100% with you on SS. It's so hard not to. @purplg8r I would be the same thing about testing before drinking. I would feel guilty if there was a chance I could have seen a line and still drank @hartmich fx you don't get the torture of AF on Christmas Eve and that this is your cycle! Everything crossed for you, lady! @nikkiandchris sorry for the BFN! It hurts even at 8dpo! And fx your temp goes back up and AF stays away! @bumpybump sorry for all the suds! I've done that once, but luckily, I didn't have to deal with CDs since we use disposables. @JuneRoseRuby you are still way above your CL! Try not to worry! Your chart is beautiful! @haylsbayls sorry for the BFN, hugs! I constantly go back to check, tilting and twisting and squinting, looking for any sign of a line. @JuneRoseRuby GORGEOUS! So stinking cute! @hqinmd again, are we the same person?! I keep over analyzing my lack of symptoms as well. HOW CAN I SS IF I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SS?! @shstephenson fx for no tinged CM! @Dilynne I would be LIVID! And I would be taking it back to the dealership and seriously discussing them helping with the cost. Try to hold out another couple of days before testing! Stay strong! @cmorris07 sorry for the BFN! Hugs to you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 27/8
Timing: -5, -4, -1, O
Testing: Trying to be strong, but who am i kidding... I will be testing tomorrow.
R/R: Today is H's bday and he is working out of town. I am debating sending an edible arrangement to where he's staying, but they are SO expensive! Also, I've worked my hopes up insanely high for this cycle. I know it's only my second one trying this time around but I have myself convinced this is it. And I have zero reasons why. I'm just setting myself up for disappointment I'm sure but I can't help it. I have this perfect plan to tell H when he comes in from out of town tomorrow since today is his birthday. UGH! I can't tame the BSC!
CS/Q: Nope... had a .2 degree temp rise this morning which is surely not helping the BSC
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself? Mentally: I love that I am a smart girl, both books and common sense, and school always came so easily for me. Physically, I love my eyes. I don't like that I have a "I have to be right" attitude way too often when 99% of the time it's not that big of a deal. I am also super unhappy with how far I've let myself go weight wise. Ugh.

R/R: I tested this morning to be prepared for my beta at the RE and it was a very clear BFN so I was prepared. It stil made me a little weepy when I got the call. I'm currently drinking a very caffeinated latte and planning for a margarita tonight.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
What I love: I'm genuinely a very nice and patient person. H tells me all the time that what he loves most about me is that I am the kindest person he's ever known and I really love hearing that. I'm weepy again just typing that.
What I don't love: Is that there are too many things I could write here - I'm too sensitive, I cry too much, I suck at math, I can be very insecure, I can't chug beer, I can't get KU, etc...

I love my sense of humor. 80% of people seriously dislike me when they first meet me, because my sense of humor is very dry and sarcastic, but after about a week when people realize that half of what comes out of my mouth isn't real, or I don't really mean that, most people end up loving me and finding me funny. On the flip side, it means some people don't give me a chance unless they are forced to, so thats also one thing I wish I could change. I try to reign it in when I first meet people, but it just comes out like a waterfall of bitch. Whatever. I think i'm funny.
CD/DPO: 32/4
Timing: -2, -1, +1
Testing: well, I had said Monday. But the weekend means football and football means beer so I might only make it til Saturday (which would be super early but I'd rather see a negative and know it's ok to drink than get a positive later and wonder if it's a bad idea)
R/R: my big running group is having a Friendsgiving tonight. I so don't cook but I found a stuffing recipe where you dump 2 boxes of stovetop, a can of mushroom soup, and 3 cups chicken broth in a crockpot and set on high for 2-4 hours. That I can do! Here's hoping it tastes good!
CS/Q: so still had cramping all the way through last night. I'm hoping it's not another uti (though I have no other symptoms). Or I wonder if it's from eating pineapple core. Any ideas?
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself? I love that I always did well in school. It came easy to me. I hate that I can't say no. I've been trying to work on it but then I just feel guilty.
Month/Cycle: 6/5 (2AL)
CD/DPO: 30/5 ( @kiwi2628 we're DPO twins, and I don't plan on testing until at LEAST Sunday. You can hold out, I promise!)
Timing: -2, O
Testing: 12 dpo or longer
R/R: I'm just so relieved to finally go here. WTO is always hell for me so I don't mind the TWW. Also, because I'm beyond BSC at this point, I'm already walking around here like I'm pregnant. I've looked up my due date, calculated how far long I'd be for events, etc etc. On the flip side, my estimated AF for NEXT cycle is Christmas Eve. I mean REALLY that's just mean.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
I love my intelligence, I don't love my current weight.
CD/DPO: 23/8
Timing: O, O-1
Testing: BFN, duh. I know it's stupid early. I won't test again until Thursday.
R/R: RAWR. There's that dreaded temp drop this morning that I was hoping to avoid for a few more days. In the past it's been a drop at 7 dpo, and never a full recovery, then my period just 2-3 days later.
CS/Q: So FF has me at 8 DPO, but my OPK wasn't positive until late in the day and I really think I'm at 7 DPO. Any opinions? The only reason it matters is because I have my 7 DPO bloodwork today (couldn't do yesterday obviously) and I want to be as accurate as possible when I tell them what day I am.
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself? This answer would have been different a few years ago, but I really appreciate my empathy. I feel everyone's feelings, and I think it's a blessing. I wish I could be less anxious, I have real anxiety issues (general and panic attacks) that I haven't been able to get under control over the last few years.
CD/DPO: 19/4
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing: holding out for AF
R/R: Last time I bought laundry detergent, I somehow managed to pick up one bottle of HE and the other non-HE. I didn't realize it until yesterday when I opened the second bottle and put it in my HE washing machine. You should have seen the suds in the washing machine. It was BAD! I followed all the instructions for how to get the suds out but the cloth diapers I had in the load absorbed so much of it (I mean, that's what diapers are made to do). I had attempted a second wash without adding more detergent but it just suds up again. Had to run the machine through its "recovery" again and ended up hand rinsing all the cloth diapers. Companies need to make it way more obvious what is HE and what isn't. The only difference in the two bottles was a teeny, tiny sticker on the one bottle neck. Not how I wanted my Sunday to go!
(not quite this but yeah...)
CS/Q: None
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
I love my hair. It's naturally curly/wavy and behaves really well. I try not to focus on negative things about myself.

@purplg8r Saying no has always been so hard for me (probably because of the feeling other people's feelings thing), and recently I've been doing it more. It's still so hard, but it feels so good!
CD/DPO:28/12
Timing:-3, -2, -1, +1
Testing:Tomorrow if I can get up the guts to test, definitely Wednesday. H's appointment with his endo is Thursday and if it is BFN, then I am going with him to start talking to his endo about testing for him.
R/R: Sewed a ton over the weekend for a customer, but I have a craft show this weekend and I didn't get any sewing done for that so I am really behind.
CS/Q: I HATE temp drops, even .1. I HATE them. They make me BSC in a bad way. They make me spiral downwards. That being said, I had a .1 today, even though it is above my CL. Feel free to stalk in my siggy if you want

@kiwi2628 Ha! I am super opposite as you! I am terrified to test, I hate to test, so I run to the bathroom and pee immediately so I can be like, nope, already lost FMU, maybe tomorrow. I usually don't test unless I am really BSC.
@hartmich CD1, I calculate my due date. Every cycle. Although your cycles are long, so do you calculate based on O date?
@bumpybump that washing machine story sounds terrible!! Straight out of a movie.

R/R: not looking forward to this week. We're hosting thanksgiving so this whole week will consist of cleaning and prepping. Also being BSC and testing everyday isn't making me a happy gal.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
hmmmm. I wish I could change how much I worry about things and stop stressing myself out about things I can't control. I love that I'm pretty adventurous and would try most things once.
EDD: March 24, 2018 - angel baby at 21 weeks
@purplg8r stuffing is amazing, it's my favorite part of thanksgiving
@hartmich I feel you on the BSC, I'm 4dpo and my brain is already all
@nikkiandchris my temp dropped this morning too (4dpo)....hopefully your temps rise again, FX for you!
@bumpybump I always wanted to know what would happen if you put non-HE detergent in a HE washer...the more you know.....sorry that happened but glad you were able to fix it
@JuneRoseRuby it seems like my temps are rocky mountain/erratic in a predictable manner- my temps have dropped on 4dpo twice now, and it always throws me for a loop.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 17/4
Timing: -5, -3, -1
Testing: 12dpo on 11/22
R/R: I never thought I would be the one to SS, but wow has the BSC started. I feel like I need a crash helmet.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
I love how much of a perfectionist I am, but I don't like how I can be such a perfectionist that I irritate people while trying to help them.
DD born: 3/31/19
I make a lot of first bday outfits, newborn picture outfits, birthday teeshirts, lots of baby items. I am pretty good at making something as long as I have a picture of what you want. The diaper cover is backwards in the picture. The ruffles go on her little baby bottom.
@bumpybump I put it in a spoiler just in case people do not want to see it if you're having a hard TTC day. Its baby clothes.
@lulu1180 Thank you so much, that made me tear up at work! Trying to remain hopeful!

@purplg8r let me know how that stuffing comes out. That's my kind of recipe.
@hartmich I already know how I'll tell my family if I'm pregnant this cycle. And EDD would be the day after my late father's birthday. So I'm all, yeah, totally KTFU.
@nikkiandchris sorry for the BFN and temp drop I'm in the same boat as you as far as O-day ambiguity. Do you usually O the day after a positive OPK? How far off was your open circle 1dpo temp? I totally get why FF has you that day.... But if your 1dpo temp should be different, that might lend some clarity. Maybe try adjusting it for time and see what happens? I do that if my temp time is off for some reason. Like this morning >.<
@bumpybump ugh, that sounds miserable. At least you know everything (including your washer) is very VERY clean, lol
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: -2, O
Testing: Wednesday at 10dpo
R/R: I would have had a temp spike this morning, I think, except that I temped an hour early because DD2 woke at 4. And I had a huge spike on 8dpo last month that was for naught, so I'm feeling pessimistic. But at the same time, I usually would have had some cramps or something in mid-LP, but I've had nothing, so that's different. Any sane person would take all this and say it's all meaningless and stop over-analyzing. And then there's me.
CS/Q: nada
GTKY: I am very passionate about things I believe in, which I like. I actually have been pretty apathetic about politics in recent years, and my passion has returned some. But I'm hyper-emotional and overly sensitive. I cry easily (even/especially in anger) and I'm hurt easily and I wish I could change that.
CD/DPO: 20/8
Timing: -4,-2,-1,O
Testing: If I don't get my brown tinged creamy CM tomorrow then Wednesday. If I do get it as expected then idk if I will even bother testing.
R/R: Its Monday.
CS/Q: Nope. Trying not to read into my chart or SS.
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
@nikkiandchris we are basically the same person!! That's definitely my answer to the GTKY. I used to hate how deeply other people's emotions affect me. But now I fully embrace it. God made me this way for a reason so I try to use my empathy to help others as much as I can. If I could change my anxiety however, I would do it in a heartbeat. GAD sucks a fat one.

Testing: Thanksgiving.
R/R: Still have ten more days til testing, but I'm not feeling too crazy yet. It's helpful to not be temping at this point because it forces me to chill out.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
Love - I love that I consciously work towards becoming wiser.
Work on - Sometimes I still make assumptions about things or people and it blocks me from gaining knowledge.
CD/DPO: 27/7
Timing: -2, +2
Testing: I could test tomorrow but I feel like that's setting myself up for disappointment. Hopefully I can hold off.
R/R: The saga of my car - the guy at the dealership told me my car was safe to drive and would not damage it further. Well, he was wrong and my gas tank collapsed and now I have to find $3,000 to fix what would have only been $300.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself? This is a hard one for me today. I have been told I have nice eyes, but I would like to change my physical shape.

@nikkiandchris Good luck Thursday!
@bumpybump Oh man! I can just imagine all the bubbles! I never look anymore when I get my soap.
@JuneRoseRuby I wish I could sew. I would have pinterest projects lined up for days! That outfit is adorable! You definitely have talent!
@haylsbayls So sorry about your BFN. I hope this week going smooth for you.
@sheknows6 I wish I was more of a perfectionist some days.
@hqinmd I hate crying in front of people. It happens when I'm mad also. Can't ever stop it from happening.

It's so ridiculous. The guy I deal with is a complete idiot and I have told them on multiple occasions that I would no longer deal with him. The dealership is doing the work, but what I'm hoping is that that they'll buy it back from me in cash for what it is worth without being broken because it wouldn't be broken if that guy hadn't screwed up. I don't have any paperwork stating it was safe, only the idiot's word. We'll have to see but this girl is furious and might let the rage flow free.

@purplg8r I would be the same thing about testing before drinking. I would feel guilty if there was a chance I could have seen a line and still drank
@hartmich fx you don't get the torture of AF on Christmas Eve and that this is your cycle! Everything crossed for you, lady!
@nikkiandchris sorry for the BFN! It hurts even at 8dpo! And fx your temp goes back up and AF stays away!
@bumpybump sorry for all the suds! I've done that once, but luckily, I didn't have to deal with CDs since we use disposables.
@JuneRoseRuby you are still way above your CL! Try not to worry! Your chart is beautiful!
@haylsbayls sorry for the BFN, hugs! I constantly go back to check, tilting and twisting and squinting, looking for any sign of a line.
@JuneRoseRuby GORGEOUS! So stinking cute!
@hqinmd again, are we the same person?! I keep over analyzing my lack of symptoms as well. HOW CAN I SS IF I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SS?!
@shstephenson fx for no tinged CM!
@Dilynne I would be LIVID! And I would be taking it back to the dealership and seriously discussing them helping with the cost. Try to hold out another couple of days before testing! Stay strong!
@cmorris07 sorry for the BFN! Hugs to you!

R/R: Today is H's bday and he is working out of town. I am debating sending an edible arrangement to where he's staying, but they are SO expensive! Also, I've worked my hopes up insanely high for this cycle. I know it's only my second one trying this time around but I have myself convinced this is it. And I have zero reasons why. I'm just setting myself up for disappointment I'm sure but I can't help it. I have this perfect plan to tell H when he comes in from out of town tomorrow since today is his birthday. UGH! I can't tame the BSC!
CS/Q: Nope... had a .2 degree temp rise this morning which is surely not helping the BSC
GTKY: What is one thing (mental, physical...anything) you love about yourself? What is one thing (mental, physical etc...) that you don't love/wish you could change about yourself?
Mentally: I love that I am a smart girl, both books and common sense, and school always came so easily for me. Physically, I love my eyes. I don't like that I have a "I have to be right" attitude way too often when 99% of the time it's not that big of a deal. I am also super unhappy with how far I've let myself go weight wise. Ugh.

R/R: I tested this morning to be prepared for my beta at the RE and it was a very clear BFN so I was prepared. It stil made me a little weepy when I got the call. I'm currently drinking a very caffeinated latte and planning for a margarita tonight.
CS/Q:
