@KhRun17 I love the hat! Beautiful work!
@Anna_1021 I'll be testing Monday if my period hasn't come (I have a short LP). Happy to do a pact for Monday but I realize that 10dpo is too soon for many people's preference.
@Sugargirl1019 Oh no! Sorry for CD1 -- treat yourself today
@lmmtravels Anything is possible, but speaking from personal experience, if you get yourself excited about open-circle high temps, you could be especially disappointed later

R/R: I started reading It Starts with the Egg last night (@RedBreast35 I realize you are in WTO so you may not see this otherwise). I haven't gotten to the recommendations yet, but something in the introduction really struck me -- she writes that the reason you only have a 20% chance of conceiving each cycle is because the majority of eggs and the majority of sperm are faulty. It really has to be "just perfect" to make it happen. I knew the 20% number but I guess I never really thought about it this way before. I can be predicting O properly and we can be getting great timing and it isn't happening because the deck is stacked against humans, not because anything is wrong. So I really could be on cycle 7 and nothing is wrong -- just luck of the draw. I am thinking as I drink my tea this morning that sometimes we just need to read a fact we know framed in a slightly different way to make peace with it. This was it for me.
This probably sounds ridiculous but it really reassured me. Also, I think I'm going to throw out all my plastic tupperware!
CS/Q:
GTKY: I love this question! And I love going to see my parents for Christmas!
@nytino24 I would be so mad if my DH bought a bunch of electronics! Glad O was so easy to identify!
@KhRun17 wow! you made that hat? Looks amazing
@coloradohiker ahh i'm sorry about the mom guilt AND the BFN. Glad to see it's early especially since with YS you didn't get a BFN until 11dpo.
@Anna_1021 sorry you're feeling emotional, but like you I am just happy to have O'd this month. I am also super emotional the last two days
@Sugargirl1019 oh no! Sending you hugs. Hopefully you can treat yourself today!

@ColoradoHiker Boo to BFN and mom guilt. I already have it with my commute and I don't even have kids yet. I do hate all of the money spent on gifts. There's a gif for that!
@Anna_1021 I am with you on the post-O hormones! I guess that's the progesterone doing its job.

GTKY: How are you feeling about the holidays right now? Show me in a GIF!
@NYTino24 That is such a guy present to himself! I would be a bit annoyed, especially if you only have one tv. DH tends to go through phases of playing video games, but when he's in one, he's constantly playing. It drives me nuts sometimes.
@Lmmtravels I'm already taller than DH by about 1", without shoes. I've given up on worrying about it, unless the heels would make me significantly taller. Also, at the risk of SSing, my first and only early indication of pregnancy with DS was shooting pains in my boobs. FX for you!
@Flinstone After having dealt with women like that for most of my teens and 20s, I learned to just let it go and find people who will actually be good to you. I know it's hard, especially when you don't know anyone in the area, but find groups with similar interests, etc. I have a hard time putting myself out there, but it is doable!

@KhRun17 Amazing hat! You're so talanted.
@JulesDP twatwaffle body twins. We can commiserate together
@Lmmtravels DH is the same height as me, I don't wear really tall heels because I'm not that graceful but when we go out I do wear 1.5-2.5" heels. It seems like a lot of glamours French celebrity couples are made up of a taller woman and a short little guy, so that's how I like to picture us, ha. My coworker is a shorter guy and he claims only midwesterners are obsessed with the height thing. I think it just matters what makes you feel comfortable!

I have a call with the doctor on Monday to discuss what will happen next cycle. I know that they want to re run all my baseline bw to see if that has any answers. I don't know what else he will say or recommend. Maybe he will change my meds or maybe he will recommend we move straight to IVF. I need to do my research and I am going to post on the T-TTC and IF boards to get some suggestions on what I should be asking for. I know its important that I advocate for myself but I don't know what that means yet.

@Lmmtravels I start to SS the day after O which is obviously too early. I can't help it!!
@adirat I always assumed the 20% was based on human error, bad timing, etc. I never thought about it being faulty eggs or sperm. Very interesting.
