Q:

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?

purplg8r · December 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4?

CD: 20

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, temping, OPKs, CoQ10, cutting out alcohol

R/R: so apparently my mom opened a breast milk donation center at a hospital yesterday and it was a huge deal (she's a lactation consultant). I had no idea. We're close but don't talk all the time (my doing. I don't really talk to anyone a lot unless it's in person). Well apparently she had posted it on Facebook. I didn't see it. I got a long text message last night that literally said I sucked as a daughter. She always dreamed of having a little girl who she was close to and it never happened. And so on. This happens every few months. And I feel bad. But it's just not me. I don't talk to anyone unless I literally see them every day. So that's fun

Q:

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? Flavored coffee. Which I'm off of and miss

WAYDTGKU: HIO EOD, BBT

R/R: It's Fridaaaaayyyyy !!! This has been a long week so I am hoping all the dogs are all good today and I can end my week on a good note !!!!!

Q: Nope !

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?
Coffee but I do enjoy a hot cup of tea every now and then !!

ColoradoHiker · December 2016

@purplg8r I think it's possible to be close to people without actually talking to them all the time. My bff and I live 10min from each other. Sometimes we text daily, sometimes we don't see each other for a month. It doesn't mean we're terrible friends or people. And at this point, she should be aware that you're not just that kind of person to be all up in her business all the time. Do you live near each other? (Do you like each other?) If so, maybe you can try to do lunch or something a couple times a month to keep in touch better, since in person is something that works better for you?

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: HIO, OPKs, BBT, PNVs

R/R: TGIF. I don't think we have anything planned for this weekend, and it's glorious.

Q: Nope, nothing at the moment.

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? It depends on time of day/ how I'm feeling. Coffee is strictly for mornings, because if I have it after lunch, I'm wired until 2am. I love tea for relaxing in the evenings or when I'm not feeling well. Hot chocolate is something I used to share with close friends in my last lab during the winter, we would always have hot chocolate breaks in the afternoon! And it MUST have marshmallows, or else it's terrible hot chocolate. :-p

KariAnn323 · December 2016

@purplg8r I'm sorry about your mom.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 4

R/R: Little bit of both. ***TW*** My parents have decided that they REALLY need to come and see us tomorrow. We live a little over an hour from each other and it's one of those "we're too far away for them to visit but why don't we visit it them more it's not that far" situations. They haven't been out to our house in over a year, and I know the only reason they're coming is because of the M/C. DH and I have been processing everything really well. And we're generally okay discussing it with each other on our terms, but this is not on our terms. I'm worried that my parents are going to want to go over everything in detail and that that will cause us to back slide into the very not okay place that we were just a few days ago. I appreciate that they are coming I just don't think it's the best thing for us right now.

Q: ***TW*** Has anyone ever heard of a connection between light periods and increased chance of M/C? I just noticed this morning that AF is on her way out. Last month was also a short cycle, and I'm wondering if this is something I should talk to my OB about.

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?
If I need a morning pick me up, coffee. If I'm sick, then tea. I'll have hot chocolate if it's snowing or we were outside in the snow.

lulu1180 · December 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/9

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: still waiting for results

R/R: I was told I would hear back from my doctor in a day or two. I'm now on day three. I understand they may need time to read them but in the meantime I'm left sitting here thinking the worst.
Also...WTF This Is Us?? WTF!!!! (Caution, actual spoilers below)

How can you do that to us and leave it hanging with Toby's life in the balance!! I knew what was happening as soon as they started that scene, I could see it in his face. Ugh! I'm just going to hold on to their saying "Nothing bad happens on Christmas Eve."

Q:

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? A few months ago I would have said hot chocolate; now either green tea or a fun, flavored tea, like sugar cookie or peppermint.

lulu1180 · December 2016

@KariAnn323 I talked to my doctor last week about short AF and she said that as long as your total days of flow is around 5 or so, you're ok and the spotting after AF counts as a day of flow (according to her). You can always talk to your OB to see what she says but just wanted to give some insight that I got.

kiwi2628 · December 2016

Creeping from TWW

@lulu1180 That makes me concerned for myself! I only have 2-3 days of flow. The first day is REALLY heavy- like, 3-4 super tampons kind of heavy but still. Maybe I'll throw a email at my OB.

Pinky917 · December 2016

Hi ladies, I go here now...

@purplg8r I am so sorry you got that message from your mom. I am the same way, and I really hate talking on the phone so I am pretty bad with keeping in regular contact with everyone. I am constantly getting shit from my family about it, and like you I feel sooooo bad, and no matter how hard I try to be better about it I always go back to the same habits.

Month/Cycle: 7/8

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: Trying to mentally prepare myself for cycle 8

R/R: Well, on the plus side it is Friday and I can potentially leave work early today since I stayed late every night this week. However, on the crappy side of things, even though I can leave early I have so much crap to do that I don't even know if I actually will be able to.

Q: --

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? I love, love, love coffee. Usually it's all the coffee, all day everyday. However, now that I am trying to limit caffeine I have been trying to move on decaf and herbal tea. The tea is yummy, but it's still not the same!

ChefRamsay · December 2016

@lulu1180 Whelp, now I'm concerned about the 3 day periods I have.

lulu1180 · December 2016

@kiwi2628 Do you spot after AF? If so, she counted that as days of flow. Without spotting my AF is usually 2-3 days but then I spot for a day or two after.

kiwi2628 · December 2016

@lulu1180 nope. For me it goes mayyyyybe a half day of spotting before before AF shows (although usually I wake up with no spotting the day prior and its like a friggin damn collapsed), CD1 is super, horrifyingly heavy, CD2 is medium heavy and then I have 1 day of spotting or 1 day of super light.

zwink1 · December 2016

@KariAnn323 I'm sorry you're going through this. Hopefully your parents are tactful about the situation.

Month/Cycle: 14/13

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: tea, temping, cm, vitamins, opks, etc.

R/R:

The trades of hope party was nice last night.... The conversation, not so much. *TW* My SIL's MIL was talking to me about our new house, and OF COURSE that had to turn to the, "when are you starting a family" convo... I brushed it off with a simple, "oh you know, we've started trying a bit" and obviously got the "just get drunk and relax" response. I resisted the urge to stay that we tried the "relax" method for about 7 months... Also, the presenter was pregnant and due in January, so there were standard conversations about that.*end TW* Whatever. I'm obviously just a negative person right now.

On the upside, H and I picked an RE and have an apt for 1/11, which is quicker than I thought we'd get one, so that's good!

Q: Nope.

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?
Hands down tea.

ColoradoHiker · December 2016

@KariAnn323 I would let your parents know that you appreciate their concern and support, but that if they're only coming to get details on your m/c, to just stay home. Your emotional and mental stability is more important than their need for information. It sounds rough, and I'm sure you can find a nicer way to say it, but there is zero need to put yourself through that. Be your own advocate here.

lulu1180 · December 2016

@kiwi2628 Yours actually sounds heavier than mine and my doctor didn't seem concerned about mine; you have 4 total days of flow which is about where I'm at now.

BertieMeetsGertie · December 2016

@purplg8r ugh. So sorry about your mom.

@Pinky917 aw, man. Sorry to see you over here.

@lulu1180 with my multiple days of spotting before AF, the past couple of months mine has been between 9-11 days. WTF?! Glad I have my ultrasound on Monday. I really hope you get your results before the weekend. And to your spoiler:

Month/Cycle: 6/7

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: all the things

R/R: Friday, baby!! We're having brunch with some friends tomorrow and will finally get to meet their now 6 month old munchkin. Tomorrow night we have my H's work holiday party, which is always really nice.

Q: nothing

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?
All of them!!

laurad75 · December 2016

@purplg8r Sorry about your mom, she sounds super needy. Was this all because you didn't know about her new donation center?

@zwink1 Ugh, 'relax' advice is the worst. I think we all need a way to manage the unsolicited advice over the holidays.

Month/Cycle: 8/9

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: temping, pnv, epo, FertiliTea; will start HIO tonight or tomorrow.

R/R: I am in such a crabby mood today. H has been mildly irritating but that's nothing new. We have a big dinner with a bunch of friends tonight and I should be looking forward to it but I'm just not.

Q:

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? Tea. I'm drinking tea right now.

JulesDP · December 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM/CP, PNV, Green Tea, CoQ10 (H and I), limited alcohol/caffeine and a partridge in a pear tree

R/R: Visiting my bff this weekend in Richmond! Tonight we're doing Harry Potter Christmas things (totally normal as we're both 31 years old) and tomorrow I'm going to be her date for her fancy schmancy work holiday party. I'm excited to have a reason to get all dressed up

Q: nope!

GTKY: All of the above, please! I have one cup of coffee every morning and at least one cup of decaf green tea every day!

@purplg8r sorry for the mama drama... unfortunately I know it all so well. hugs.
@KariAnn323 I'm sorry for your loss

. I'm hoping that the time you spent with your parents will turn out to be positive and healing for you and YH. Don't be afraid to tell them if you're not comfortable reliving every painstaking detail!
@lulu1180 @BertieMeetsGertie I can't even handle This is Us. I'm still in disbelief! How am I supposed to wait until January for a new episode?!?
@Pinky917 so sorry for CD1

Do something extra special for yourself today!

juliebeannn · December 2016

@purplg8r I'm sorry your mom sent such a hurtful message. My mom and I went through that after I got married. I'm the same way, I'm not a phone person. She eventually understood that I'm just not a phone person and we lives close enough where I make an effort to visit more often. I also set a reminder to call once a week, just to check in. The guilt trip sobbing phone calls have stopped and we're in a much better place. I hope you and your mom can come to an understanding!

@KariAnn323 Ugh. Sorry that your parents aren't giving you the space to grieve and process your M/C on your own terms. Can you ask that they give you a little more space and that you'll reach out to them when you're ready? Re your Q: My AF has been about 3 days long (only 2 days of real flow and a day or two of just spotting) for the last few years. I asked 2 OBGYNs and my RE about it and showed any concern about it affecting TTC in any way - getting pregnant or staying pregnant. If you're concerned, I would totally bring it up to your OB.

@lulu1180 I hope you get your results back soon!

@Pinky917 Sorry about CD1!

@zwink1 Yay for RE appointment!! 1/11 will be here in an eye-blink!

@laurad75 Sorry you're in a crabby mood today! At least it's Friday!..? I hope your mood gets better soon!!

Month/Cycle: 11/12

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: IUI #2 *Gonal-F and Ovidrel) -- pnv, CoQ10, vitamin D, selenium, levothyroxine

R/R: IUI #2 is happening this weekend! Our RE location isn't opened on the weekend so we have to go to their headquarters for the IUI this weekend which an hour away from us. Their standard practice is to schedule "collection" at 6am and IUI at 7:30, which means we need to leave the house at 5am for DH to go to their office and do his business into a cup.

Q:

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? OMG. All the coffee!

virginiaham · December 2016

@KariAnn323 yes exactly what @coloradohiker said!! Your only obligation right now is to yourself, and you absolutely have the right to say no, or change your answer to no. Do what you and YH need to do for yourselves right now. ETA I love what @juliebeannn suggested about asking for space and reaching out when you are ready. I hope you can work out something that works for you and YH.

Hey @KariAnn323 @lulu1180 @kiwi2628 @cheframsey to help address your fears, normal period duration is 2-8 days. I think the biggest concerns are for either super *light* periods (like, going through very few pads/tampons) or super heavy or long periods. CD4 and AF on her way out doesn't strike me as concerning unless your flow has been little more than spotting the entire 4 days.

From FF in case it's helpful to see the bell curve: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Menstrual-Period-Length-Stats-Study.html

What you ladies are describing sounds within the normal curve...try not to borrow trouble before you get some good info!! ETA but if you're concerned about it, there's no harm in asking your doctor.

Month/Cycle: 12/8 (16/12 total since TTC, 8/6 total AL)

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: acupuncture, Femara/Letrozole+trigger+TI

R/R: 2 of 5 Letrozole down! It snowed here last night and my H was released from work and all we have to do today is hang out and nap for my night shift this afternoon.

Q:

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? Coffee first thing in the morning, tea on cold afternoons/evenings, hot chocolate overflowing with whipped cream and chocolate sauce as a treat with brunch when we actually make it out to brunch.

Breath_Easy92 · December 2016

@purplg8r I'm sorry to hear that, I definitely understand. It is frustrating, or at least it frustrates me when I am (very frequently) in that situation.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 12 (I had been miss calculating I didn't know spotting the first day counted)

WAYDTGKU: same preseed, prenatals, thinking about opk but don't know if I wanna spend the money.

R/R: I work this weekend then have a funeral to go to so nothing too exciting this weekend but I do like my job (just not always the place I work haha). Last night though I we went to play pool and have a few drinks with my best friend and her boy friend. Her other friend (not mutual, she just met her) showed up and started hitting on her boyfriend (DH noticed too). Since we've been friends for 18 years I told her what I noticed. She was just like "oh I didn't see that, that's weird." And I think I would be a little more concerned than that and she normally a very jealous girlfriend for better or worse. Anyway I just had to get that off my Brain lol

Q: nada

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?

i like tea in the morning, hot chocolate at night and coffee when I work nights.

RedBreast35 · December 2016

@purplg8r so sorry about the crappy situation with your mom. I'm totally the same way about how I keep in touch with people. Did she make a point to tell you about the opening or did she just expect that you'd know about it?
@lulu1180 can you call the office today? It would be so annoying to have to go the whole weekend without hearing from them!
@Pinky917 I'm sorry for cd1

@juliebeann GL at your IUI this weekend! That stinks to have to get up so early, but hopefully this is the last one

@adirat are you around? Didn't see you much over the last few days, and just thinking about you! Is your MRI this weekend?

Month/Cycle: 16/1AL

CD: *checks ff every time* 16

WAYDTGKU: Hopefully enough.

R/R: Not too much going on. My H has a different work schedule this weekend, so he'll be around on Saturday night for the first time in forever. We're looking for a fun new restaurant to try and I'm excited!

Q: -

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? Coffee first thing in the morning, then, if it's cold out, decaf or herbal tea for the rest of the day. In the hotter months, it's coffee but not really tea. I don't like hot chocolate- it makes my teeth feel fuzzy!

sparklepony · December 2016

@kiwi2628 yes to "horrifyingly heavy!" even though it's been happening for 18 years day 1 is always a horror movie.
@Pinky917 sorry about CD1
@juliebeannn yes! I love Tyrone Biggums! Did you see Chappelle do it on SNL recently??

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK

R/R: It is SO COLD here. But it's supposed to warm up a little this weekend. I ate like crap last night so trying to clean up my act today.

Q: Starting OPKs for real this cycle, any best practices? This hotel has plenty of tiny plastic cups for me to use!

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?

sagegrove · December 2016

@purplg8r I am not super close with my mom. I find it hard to believe that the communication problem in your relationship is all on you- unless she is calling you all the time and your actively ignoring her. Either way I am sorry you feel bad!

@KariAnn323 I'm so sorry for you loss. No advice to give but I hope you can find a way to do whatever brings you comfort and worry about yourself first.

@laurad75 I felt this way yesterday- everything was terrible. I actually bought sparkling wine to trick myself into being happy haha. It sort of worked.

Month/Cycle: 7/3

CD: 56

WAYDTGKU: PNV, looking for CM, HIO

R/R: I have an appointment with my new midwife 12/21. I was hoping to have a cycle before then so I could do a couple blood tests she ordered but it is not looking good. She is going to do an ultrasound though- so that feels like movement towards an answer. Also- I am reading The Art Of Waiting and posted a snap of me reading on the couch and one of my friends texted me that she is reading it too. It opened a whole conversation and we realized we are going through the same thing. Between that and joining this board I am feeling a lot better about my support system lately!

Q: Does anyone have any experience with Vitex?

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? Coffee! I am a nurse so coffee is one of my main food groups. Which brings another question- how do you guys feel about caffeine intake while TTC?

juliebeannn · December 2016

@vegetalienne YES! So good!!!

jess0211 · December 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: all the things

R/R: It's Friday!!!!! Have my annual gyn today at a new practice. Hoping to ask some of my ttc questions.

Q: nothing today

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? Coffee all day please!

sagegrove · December 2016

@lulu1180 I just finished the season finale. WHY?! They can't do this to us.

daisymae6215 · December 2016

@pinky917 sorry for CD1

@lulu1180 Sorry it's taking so long to get your results. That's super frustrating. Hope you get them soon!

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: still waiting for AF to leave

R/R: I was having a rough morning and so DH and I made plans to drive around and look at Christmas lights tonight. But then we found out that my MIL's cousin passed away on Wednesday and the visitation is tonight. So now we are going to that. I was looking forward to our night and now this day is just sucky.

Q: still nothing to see

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? I'm not a big coffee drinker, but every so often I'll get a fancy coffee drink. I love hot cocoa and of course it HAS to have marshmallows. And lately I've been drinking fruit flavored teas, like raspberry and blueberry.

AlohaKumu · December 2016

@purplg8r @KariAnn323 @zwink1 -- Internet empathy to all of you with overbearing/meddling parents. (My parents don't even know I'm remarried or TTC because we've had such a toxic relationship over this stuff in the past.)

Month/Cycle: 4/4?

CD: TWW + some

WAYDTGKU: I'm already late and having some symptoms, but every test I've taken is a BFN.

R/R: DH has been so sick over the past few days that even the military is allowing him to stay home from work. (I'm hoping he's feeling better tonight because we have a very expensive event that we've already pre-paid for!) I'm super-thankful to the lab tech who called all over the place yesterday since my PCP put in an order for me to PIAC instead of get BW. (If my FMU is a BFN, then why would you test for it in the middle of the day?!) I was able to get my BW done before they closed the lab because of that great tech! FMU today is still a BFN. Meanwhile, still no AF and very sore BBs. Why are you messing with me, body?

Q: --

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? I usually love tea every morning, but I've been trying to cut out caffeine while TTC. I could have matcha in everything I eat! I've been thinking of getting a Starbucks peppermint hot chocolate, but I've already been indulging in too many holiday treats!

ChefRamsay · December 2016

@virginiaham Thanks for the chart. I didn't realize I should be concerned about my light periods. I usually only have 3 days of flow, no spotting before or after AF and it's so light I could probably get away with only using 1 pad my whole period.

BertieMeetsGertie · December 2016

@Breath_Easy92 first day of full red flow should be CD1 (not first day of spotting, unless you also get full red flow later the same day). At least that's what I was told many moons ago

dragonfly87-2 · December 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3 TTCAL

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: PNV, nothing at the moment

R/R: Woke up with an incredibly sour feeling stomach and shoulder pain, also, only 5 hours of sleep. Surprisingly though, I am determined to not have a bad day...so trying to just shake it off and be positive.

Q: ETA: Have any of you considered or actually taken a social media break during the TTC process?
I am thinking about avoiding it for a month or two until things start to feel more normal, but it's usually just part of my internet habit in the evenings it's almost second nature to just browse.

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?

Black tea usually. Occasionally hibiscus tea...until I read about what it can do to you for fertility...now I am terrified to drink another cup of it again. Probably an over reaction, but I can live without hibiscus tea.

laurad75 · December 2016

@juliebeannn GL this weekend!!!

@Breath_Easy92 I think this thread may have confused you. CD 1 is full flow not spotting so if you start spotting on Monday but don't really have flow until Tuesday, CD 1 is Tuesday.

I forgot to comment on This Is Us. I love that show and knew that something was going to happen based on internet chatter but didn't see that coming. I can't believe we have to wait until mid-January.

dragonfly87-2 · December 2016

@laurad75: I love watching This Is Us as well. I saw a FB friend post something about "all the feels" and knew something would happen, but didn't see that coming. I am so curious what ends up happening in January!

vegetalienne I would suggest using second morning urine and also testing between 10am and 6pm. I usually start using them around 2-3 days before expected O. Also, not sure what kind you bought, but the wondfos are super cheap. They aren't always as clear or easy as the smiley face kind, but I bought 100 opks and 20 hpts for $22 on amazon.

Breath_Easy92: See above about cheap OPKs if you still want to consider them

Breath_Easy92 · December 2016

@laurad75 @BertieMeetsGertie oh okay I always spot the night before it really comes on full fledged and mine is never very heavy anyway (but lasts like 6/7 days) so I wasn't sure. Thanks!

swimsister · December 2016

@purplg8r I’m sorry you and your mom are having some hard times. I’m awful over the phone too, I find myself tallying up things I have to talk about before I call my mom. It’s not that I don’t love her; it’s just hard to talk on the phone. Maybe if you sent a small gift to congratulate her on her success you’d both feel better.

@KariAnn323 I’m sorry about your parents, if you want some advice on a way to handle them keep reading. If you’re just venting then I’m sorry, that really sucks and I hope it goes better than you think it will.

I am absolutely not trying to say this situation is the same at all, but when we were wedding planning my mom started asking questions about how much my in-laws were contributing to the wedding. I found that really inappropriate and had to decide right then that this was a boundary we weren’t going to cross and I had to repeatedly say “I don’t think we should talk about that” before she got it. Decide between you and your DH what you will and won’t talk about. Beyond that, come up with a statement like “I don’t want to talk about that” and just stick to it. Repeat as many times as necessary.

@zwink1 That’s awesome that you got into the RE so quickly!

@JulesDP totes jealous of your HP Christmas. Can I come?

@sagegrove What kind of support to midwives provide during TTC? Can they do any testing?

Month/Cycle: 9/8 TTC, 1 TTA

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: Nada see R/R

R/R: DH and I sat down last night to talk about this month and decided that we would TTA this month. With me starting a new job in January, figuring out leave, and our FW falls during a difficult (long hours) work week for DH this month. We decided that it would be extremely stressful to try this month and a BFP would probably be met with more stress than anything else. I’m sad, but I know this is the right decision. I’m trying to look forward to having sex because I want to and not because I have to. I also plan to drink all the caffeine and alcohol I desire.

On a slightly amusing note: I’m out of PNV and tampons. I’m contemplating buying them both together and seeing if I can make some high school check out boy’s head explode.

Q:

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? Coffee always and forever.

lund · December 2016

@purplg8r um, what the actual fuck? It's a two way street, and it sounds like your mom hasn't reach out to you either. It's not your job to keep tabs on her life nor constantly check FB. I'm the same way as you, I don't keep constant contact with anyone unless they're a part of my daily life in person. Who the hell has time for that?

@KariAnn323 ugh, I'm sorry that is so tough. Have you tried explaining that you and DH are doing really well, but don't want to speak about it with them?

@lulu1180 waiting for test results is THE WORST. FX you get answers soon.

@kiwi2628 @Cheframsay same here.... I have a 3-4 day period with maybe 1 day of heavy flow (this includes any spotting). My ob/gyn didn't seem concerned when I mentioned it to him, but now I'm worried.

@Pinky917 sorry for CD1 *hugs*

@zwink1 I'm glad you got a RE appointment so quickly! Sorry you had to endure yet another "just relax" convo.

@virginiaham thanks for the info regarding period duration!

@Breath_Easy92 CD1 is the first day of full flow, you shouldn't count spotting beforehand.

@daisymae6215 ugh, sorry that really is a crappy day. FX tomorrow is better.

WAYDTGKU: all the regular stuff, plus DH is going in for a SA on Monday

R/R: *Dear Diary Rant* Feel free to skip.
So, (as some may recall from yesterday) my MIL may or may not come stay for the night. It depends on the roads. Anywho, I had told my DH that because he has this week off and I'm busy with work, the Dickens Festival, and the play, it's up to him to make sure the house is clean. He's done SOME cleaning, but it's certainly not "ready for company" clean. I know his mom is laid back, but I'm still not OK with the house not being clean.
This morning I mentioned what still needed to be done in the house, and he said "well, I need to clean the garage." Um, YOUR MOM ISN'T GOING TO HANG OUT IN THE FRIGGIN' GARAGE. So, this morning before work I cleaned the toilets, took trash out, and cleaned the cat litter box in an effort to help.
When he saw what I did he said "you didn't have to do that, I could've done it." and I reminded him of what was still left to be done, to which he said "well, I might not have time to do that." THAT'S WHY I HELPED. Also why the garage doesn't need to be a priority, and also why I reminded you days ago that it was mostly up to you to make sure the house is clean...
*rant over*

Q: nope

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? Usually coffee, but tea occasionally. I love me some black current tea, but I haven't been able to find any that's not artificially flavored...

@JulesDP Harry Potter Christmas sounds awesome!! How fun!
@purplg8r Sorry about your mom

It's so hard when someone has different expectations about what your relationship should be like.
@pink917 Sorry for CD1

Treat yourself today.
@AlohaKumu It sounds like you ovulated late! It's so frustrating. How are you confirming O, again? Sore boobs are my ovulation sign! How long ago did they start?

Month/Cycle: 10 months / 3 cycles TTCAL

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: temping, cm, opks, praying I O at a decent time this month

R/R: Mm, not much. I had a bad day at work yesterday and it's still really bothering me. I even spoke to my supervisor about the situation.
Tuesday was my first EDD, so.. that's past. I survived!
Tonight DH and I are going to a Christmas show! Orchestra, choir, musical, theatrics and lights! I'm so excited. Except my in laws decided to purchase tickets right next to us without asking. Guess we're hanging out with the in laws on our date night!

Q: Nope! Just having tons of creamy cm this time. I'm symptom spotting an early O. haha

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate?
I love caramel macchiatos, but caffeine gives me heart palpitations and I feel sick afterward. I like certain kinds of tea.. but only when I'm in the mood. Hot chocolate is nice! But I don't like whipped cream or marshmallows

Can I have warm Winter Jack instead? yuum.

Also, This Is Us!!! Omgsh yes! I can't believe everything. And the wait til January is going to kill me! We'll need a thread to discuss the show I think!

@LuND I feel you! We're having a Christmas party on Saturday. DH is taking a half day today to clean the house and I just know I'm going to have to go around behind him and ACTUALLY clean out the fridge and ACTUALLY scrub the toilets. Ugh.

WAYDTGKU: AF should be leaving today so hopefully on to all things tomorrow

R/R: It is F** cold here today and i have to be outside for a fair portion of it...

Q: nope

GTKY: Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? I love them all. I typically drink tea in the mornings but will occasionally have a 1/2caf coffee, in the winter hot chocolate is my jam at night!

@purplg8r hugs I am also bad at keeping up with people. I'm sorry your mom sent you such a rough text.

@kariann323 I'm with the other ladies, I would tell them that you are not ready to talk about it. You need to do what is best for you.

@lulu1180 @sagegrove @laurad75 and all the other this is us ladies, I finally got caught up last night and I am also in the WTF camp!! I hate this long winter break....

@pinky917 sorry for CD1, hugs lady. It looks like we are both in the 7/8 ship. fx for us

@zwink1 sorry you got the "just relax" convo. I wish people would just get the hint. Hooray for picking an RE, which one did you end up going with?

@juliebeannn GL with the IUI this weekend, sorry you have to be up so early, but hopefully you can get a nice breakfast afterwards

@dragonfly87 last time we were trying I had to step away from social media for a long time. TW** a grad school class mate posted her 4th pregnancy announcement in 5 years and I lost it... I could not handle it any more*** I was off face book for close to a year. Do what you need to for your mental health

@dragonfly87 100 for 22$ isn't bad at all. Your suppose to test in the afternoon right? I think I read that's when LH levels are highest. Correct me if I'm wrong
