slaven · January 2017

Month/Cycle: 5 TTC/3TTA/1NTNP

CD/DPO: 18/5 ish based on EWCM

Timing: not sure, not really tracking O

Testing: not unless AF is late

R/R: Rave: I got a lot of work done today for the volunteering I do for DH's unit (it's currently Tuesday night here in Korea). DH came home and told me that his Commander said I'm doing a great job and that lot's of people were talking about it. It's nice to have hard work validated.

Also I found a potential rental for when we move to NY this spring. It's not exactly what I wanted but it's under budget. It doesn't have a fenced in yard for our dogs but has 3 acres and it has carpets in the living room. The current tenant responded to a post I made. They're leaving right before we get there and they love the house.

Rant: Our sheltie peed on the floor today but I can't be mad at her because she's on meds that make her drink and pee more.

CS/Q:
So far my SS are: craving Hershey kisses when I don't really like them, intense random hiccups, some light cramps (not like my sharp poop cramps, in case you saw my post in a different thread earlier haha), and watery cm. I know it's too early for SS. I thought NTNP would make me less stressed over it but since I don't know when I O'd my mind is like "but maybe you O'd earlier???"

GTKY: Describe your dream house (pictures obviously welcome)
Old colonial style but renovated. I like to keep the original features but modern. We were looking at buying when we move but it's not a smart choice since we don't know how long we'll be there. When I was looking I found this gem near Ft. Drum: https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sale/Town-of-Watertown-NY/house_type/60561614_zpid/399185_rid/3-_beds/250000-300000_price/943-1132_mp/pricea_sort/44.00436,-75.832701,43.940366,-75.97106_rect/12_zm/?

We aren't buying it so I don't mind sharing the link. I love the kitchen and the builtins. Obviously the basement needs updating but it's great that it's already finished. It would be easy to check for water damage to make sure the basement is sealed.

eta: cm tidbit

jess0211 · January 2017

P & G . today, will try to pop in later.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: good

Testing: Trying to hold out until 2/1 but the BSC is kicking in so we'll see.

R/R: I am mobile so I can't tag everyone, but thank you all for well wishes on DH surgery...it's scheduled for 2/14, Happy Valentine's Day to us. I am so blech today. I have convinced myself I am out this cycle for no other reason than my face os breaking out, boobs are sore and I am anxious which are all normal for this part of my cycle and yet I am SS like crazy with semi-stretchy CM this morning. Cue BSC. Please just stop me. Rave: eh, I might sneak in a run today at lunch....

CS/Q: nothing

GTKY: Describe your dream house (pictures obviously welcome) A big ol' rustic beauty in the woods. Sorry if pics are huge, mobile

swimsister · January 2017

Month/Cycle: 10/9

CD/DPO: 25/11

Timing: everyday

Testing:

R/R: Rapid updates: I haven't posted in about a month! First, new job, it's going great, however I now work in an open work environment. At any given moment probably 15 people can see my screen. Adios work bumping. Also, the mobile site is impossible. Second, DH agrees that if this isn't our cycle we're going to start trying to find out why this isn't happening for us. Other than that, know I'm still out here, I'm lurking and symptom spotting along with all of you and rooting for you all!

CS/Q:

GTKY: Describe your dream house (pictures obviously welcome)

Huge yard, library with ceilings so high that there are ladders on the bookshelves, a circular turret kind of thing with a window seat, and a widows walk. Basically a castle. Please and thank you.

BertieMeetsGertie · January 2017

@swimsister I wondered where you were!! Nice to hear from you and that your job is going well!

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD/DPO: 27/8

Timing: -1, 0

Testing: probably Saturday

R/R: ugh. Work was so damn busy yesterday! I got all this extra stuff dumped on my lap when I haven't even finished my work that needs to be done by the end of the week. Not cool! I'm working from home tomorrow so that I can catch up without distractions.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Describe your dream house (pictures obviously welcome)

large brick house with nice, open foyer with really high ceilings. Chefs kitchen with double wall ovens and a six burner gas range. Huge island without a sink (it drives me crazy when they put sinks in islands). At least 4 bedrooms, master bedroom with huge walk in closet and master bath with a claw foot tub, separate shower, double vanity, etc. nice deck and fenced in yard. I think that about covers it!

jess0211 · January 2017

@slaven you're moving to upstate NY, right? Watertown? Let me know if you have any questions about the area, I grew up just an hr north of there.

@swimsister hi!!!!!!!!! Glad to hear new job is going well!

@BertieMeetsGertie working from home is always nice, I get so much more accomplished

JulesDP · January 2017

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 23/7

Timing: -3,-1,+1

Testing: Not unless AF is late

R/R: All aboard the BSC express! This is the first cycle that I've religiously temped during the TWW since Cycle 2. I realized that not temping was mitigating SS and BSC. I had a huge temp drop this morning -- even though I know it's 100% because I slept like total crap, BSC brain has convinced me that it's totes implantation.

me @ me:

CS/Q: --

GTKY: A low country beach house near Charleston!

sending positive vibes to @adirat today! I hope the RE appointment goes well!
@slaven good for you! It's always nice to hear that your hard work is appreciated!
@jess0211 Sorry to hear about the V-day surgery

I hope that you're able to get your run in at lunch -- that usually helps with my blech moods.
@swimsister glad to see you back! I was wondering how you're doing!

edit - words are hard.

jess0211 · January 2017

Forgot to wish @adirat a good RE appt! Hope all goes well!

@julesdp hey CD buddy! Looks like we have both jumped on the BSC train! All aboard!!!

kmac09 · January 2017

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 30/11

Timing: decent but not good enough

Testing: BFFN this am

R/R: Frustrated, obviously. I don't know why I keep getting my hopes up. It's always the same result.

CS/Q: Nope.

GTKY: Describe your dream house (pictures obviously welcome)
Two story mix of craftsman and traditional southern with a wrap around porch and a porch swing

kmac09 · January 2017

@slaven When we first started TTC again, I tried to have the mindset of NTNP and just go with the flow, but like you, I started to stress more because I didn't really know anything for sure about where I was in my cycle. I became less stressed when I started temping again because I felt like I had at least a little more control.
@jess0211 that house is STUNNING!
@BertieMeetsGertie sorry about the work stress! Hopefully you get through it all this week!
@adirat good luck with the RE today!

kmac09 · January 2017

oh and @jess0211 yes I gave you the book rec! let me know what you think

GG620 · January 2017

Month/Cycle: 13

CD/DPO: 22/3

Timing: excellente

Testing: trying not to think about it yet

R/R: In a fantastic mood today! No real reason why, but it feels really nice. Jamming out at my desk and ready to tackle this mountain of work wooot

CS/Q: Too early for SS but ahh stupid mind. Last night I had some cramping in the uterine area and a feeling of fullness (and its way too early for AF) so of course I'm all obvi im KTFU - step back from the ledge self!

GTKY: Describe your dream house (pictures obviously welcome)
I want a huge, huge chef's kitchen and a modern home in the mountains with lots of light

https://www.houzz.com/photos/3833780/Mountain-Modern-contemporary-exterior-other

@slaven awesome work on the work and the commendation! And o0o I love the colonial style you posted, it is gorgeous!
@jess0211 omg that house is GORGEOUS!!!f I could totally live in some gorgeous woods with awesome hikes nearby. Good luck with DH's surgery, sorry its on V-day, but hopefully it goes well and he recovers quickly!
@bertiemeetsgertie yes yes yes to all the double wall overs and a huge gas range.
@julesDP your gif to yourself (hahahahah). I've always wanted to go to Charleston, I've heard it is gorgeous!!

jenotontx · January 2017

I think I go here now.

Month/Cycle: TTA until April

CD/DPO: 20/3

Timing: N/A

Testing: Hopefully not until April

R/R: I came to the conclusion yestersay that I actually did O this cycle and the spotting/bleeding was not AF. Not really sure what was going on with the spotting but it stopped so i'm just not going to read into it anymore.

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: Describe your dream house (pictures obviously welcome)

I love a lot of different style homes but I really have my heart set on a (at least) a 4 bedroom house with space for an office. It would be open concept with the kitchen overlooking the living room. Probably 2 1/2 bathrooms including a master ensuite. Husband wants a 3 car attached garage and an in ground pool. I prefer moden finishes with very neutral cozy/rustic chic look. If a girl was really to dream though....

wabash15 · January 2017

Month/Cycle: 8/9

CD/DPO: 24/12

Timing: good but not enough

Testing: BFN yesterday

R/R: DS has pneumonia, a double ear infection, pink eye and 2 respiratory viruses... I will be spending my afternoon at the doctors again. any good vibes his way would be much appreciated. THis kid loves his respiratory viruses, me not so much! So for the above reason I will have to P&G today but will try to love tit the hell out of you ladies. Oh and temp drop today... AF is on her way...

CS/Q: nope, i'm out this cycle

GTKY: Describe your dream house (pictures obviously welcome) So many options... a log cabin in the mountains, a victorian home, or @julesdp low country beach house! really anything with character and more than 1 bathroom

kmac09 · January 2017

@wabash15 so sorry for the BFN yesterday and for all the freaking viruses and infections your LO has! FX that your appt this afternoon goes well and they can help clear everything up for him!

jess0211 · January 2017

@kmac09 I will! I fell asleep last night so didnt start yet....

@GG620 I love your positivity and motivation today!!

@JJMNO1616 welcome to the tww!

@wabash15 sorry for BFN and all the illnesses in your house! Hope everyone is feeling better soon!

bluejeanbabi05 · January 2017

I don't have time to post or comment right now but dropping in real quick to say GL to @adirat at RE today!

dragonfly87-2 · January 2017

@wabash15 sorry for the BFN and temp drop

Hoping your DS feels better, having pneumonia sounds miserable.

GG620 yay for a good mood, wish I could say the same!

kmac09: sorry for the BFN

@BertieMeetsGertie: that's lame you got extra work dumped on you. Hopefully you can catch up soon. I am envious you can work from home! Even if I could though...I would be incredibly unproductive.

@JulesDP: being a passenger on the BSC express can be a roller coaster ride, lol. I have definitely been on it for the past two weeks.

@slaven: Yay for finding a good rental option, boo for your dog peeing on the floor.

Month/Cycle: 4/4 2 TTCAL

CD/DPO: CD 26 / 13 DPO

Timing: EOD during FW

Testing: NOPE (had BFN at 11 DPO)

R/R:
Rant: I am in a crappy mood today and started having AF cramping (she is due in two days). So, my Tuesday sucks.

CS/Q: Didn't take my temp today because I woke up an hour earlier than normal and figured there was no point.

GTKY: Describe your dream house (pictures obviously welcome)

I really love craftsman style homes. So my dream home would look like one of these:

kmac09 · January 2017

@dragonfly87 sorry about the crappy tuesday and signs of AF. I totally feel you on all of it. BUT those houses are AMAZING!!

BertieMeetsGertie · January 2017

@dragonfly87 I wouldn't like to work from home frequently but when I have to get a bunch of writing done, the office environment is not conducive to being productive.

@wabash15 oh my goodness!! Your poor DS must be so miserable. I hope you are able to catch a break soon, sheesh.

@adirat best of luck today, buddy!!!!

kmornelas29 · January 2017

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: -2, -1 (2x), O, 1

Testing: 10dpo if I have the will power. Constantly think I will get magical 7-8 dpo bfps! *sigh*

R/R: I always feel like I'm in a crappy mood. I have so much to be thankful for, and compared to many I live a totally blessed life. I emotionally went through some pretty heavy stuff this past year, and sometimes I wonder if I have slight depression. I miss being happy like I use to be. I can fee myself turning into an angry person and I'm still so young to be this angry at the world. Sorry probably TMI. I guess I have turned this into a dear diary.

CS/Q: can it be testing day yet? TWW is sometimes more taxing than WTO.

GTKY: Describe your dream house (pictures obviously welcome)

currently live in it. Custom built from the ground up. It's pretty amazing. I guess if I could put my house on some ranch and move from Cali it would be the total package for me.

lund · January 2017

Heading back to WTO. FX none of you follow me!

kmac09 · January 2017

ugh so sorry for AF @LuND

jess0211 · January 2017

@lund Sorry for CD1 hugs!!

kmornelas29 · January 2017

@slaven we're right about the same cycle days! @jess0211 beautiful house pics! @LuND sorry for your WTO switch over. At least you get another cycle of optimism!

jenotontx · January 2017

@slaven Finding a rental when you don't live anywhere near where you are moving is so tricky! My DH and I have moved states twice and I found that difficult. Can't imagine what you and your husband have to go through!

@swimsister Welcome back! Glad to hear the new job is going well but boo about no work Bumping. I use the App on my phone while at work and it's ok.

@kmac09 Sorry about the BFN

@wabash15 I'm so sorry to hear about your DS!! That sounds horrible... for the both of you.

@dragonfly87 Sorry to hear that AF is likely on the horizon. I also love the moden craftsman style homes.

@kmornelas29 It's hard not to feel angery at the world sometimes when there is so much negitivity being thrown around! Then add personal life stress to it and it becomes increasingly more difficult to stay mindful of all the positive you know you have going for you. Hopefully things will get easier soon.

lund · January 2017

@kmornelas29 thanks for the encouragement, but 8 cycles of "optimism" can kiss my ass.

JulesDP · January 2017

@LuND I'm so sorry friend

So many hugs to you!

alysapuggles · January 2017

@LuND Ugh, so sorry for CD1, cycle-count buddy. I think I'll be joining you for cycle 8 in about 2 days.

dragonfly87-2 · January 2017

@BertieMeetsGertie : That makes sense. I could probably tackle some of my reports at home, but couldn't do it consistently. My biggest weakness is Netflix. And if I am honest, I have no will power when it comes to being productive at home or binge watching Netflix....

Image: https://i.giphy.com/26BRsMORsLfckuBTa.gif

@LuND: Sorry for CD 1

adirat · January 2017

Thank you for your well wishes, friends

I'll let you know how it goes. I'm nervous but happy nervous.

@LuND Ughhhh so sorry for CD1

kmac09 · January 2017

@dragonfly87 same. That "are you still watching _____?" comes up and every time I'm like shit, have I really already watched 3 episodes? WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE???

adirat · January 2017

JJMNO1616 said:

I think I go here now.

Month/Cycle: TTA until April

CD/DPO: 20/3

Timing: N/A

Testing: Hopefully not until April

Hi. If you're going to post in TWW when you are TTA, can you please be more sensitive to what others are going through? The bolded really hurt me today, like you are gleeful about not testing and not wanting to get pregnant? Not great on a rough TTC day.

adirat · January 2017

@swimsister Happy to see you back! I'm glad the new job is what you hoped (minus bumping time). Open office floor plans would stress me out like crazy...

@JulesDP That gif is my LIFE in tww.

dragonfly87-2 · January 2017

@adirat: I understand where you are coming from...but I guess I interpreted JJMNO1616's comment more as..."hopefully I don't start peeing on sticks before April since I clearly won't be pregnant." But I could be completely wrong. I am not always great at interpreting intent on the interwebs...regardless, could have better wording.

Also, best of luck at your appointment!

VLillyV · January 2017

@slaven that dog gif though! Hilarious! Totally saw the "poo" cramps post, pretty clever. Those are some pretty spiffy symps. I'd be all up on that too.
@jess0211 aww mannn on valentines day? Sorry love

*hugs* those houses are straight gorgeous though. They almost look the same, if they aren't
@swimsister congratulations on the new job! I am also in an open area, but I've lost all bashfulness. Hoping this is your cycle

@JulesDP baahh take me with you on the wild ride of the BSC train. I've got nada. jingles for you

@kmac09 sorry for the bfn *big hugs* hang in there, I know it's so hard and devastatingly sad but I have hope for you and will be sending you good vibes
@GG620 step awayyyy! I'm on CD3 too and i'm all kinds of cray cray!
@wabash15 sorry for the bfn

I hope that DS feels much better and that next cycle is kinder
@dragonfly *hugs* sorry lady. I hope your day gets better. Those houses are very cute. I love them!
@kmornelas29 I agree. TWW is really tough. Much easier to be in WTO.
@LuND Sorry

Wishing you wellness in WTO!

Month/Cycle: 4

CD/DPO: CD 14 DPO 3

Timing: Missed 1 day during FW.. decent?

Testing: Not until AF is late, due 2/5. Trying not to get too excited.

R/R: I'm only 3dpo but i'm starting to ss. It's really truly all in vain, i'm sure. I gave in and had like 4 oz of coffee and i am really guilting myself over it. I'm not even going to finish it. It's been super crazy busy today at work and i've not gotten anything done that I need to. My coworker is preggy and showing. She's super cute but I'm super duper jealous. Wasn't planned so that's even more exciting.

CS/Q: Do you guys think my 4oz of coffee could screw everything up? I haven't had caffeine for about 1 week now and honestly, I am just worried it'll ruin my chances this month.

GTKY: Describe your dream house (pictures obviously welcome) I can't get pictures in but I totally second the woodsy cabin homes that @jess0211 posted. GORGEOUS!

I'm popping off until much later, have a wonderful day ladies!

jenotontx · January 2017

@adirat I'm sorry that my comments once again had an impact on you that I did not intend. Apparently the way I am precieved on the internet is much different then real life because I've never had to think this hard about my word choices before. I understand where you are coming from though and I will keep working on it. I am TTA right now (as you know) so there is some obvious truth to not wanting to be pregnant at the moment otherwise I wouldn't be TTA in the first place. However, I wish more then anything I wasn't in this situation so it's not particularly gleeful. I would LOVE to be peeing on a stick but only when the time in my life is right. Sorry again I keep messing up and I hope your appointment went well.

heatherdubrow · January 2017

Lurking... @VLillyV why would 4 ounces of coffee ruin your chances? Genuinely curious, not being snarky

lund · January 2017

Yeah @VLillyV I'm curious along with @heatherdubrow why 4 oz of coffee would ruin your chances?

VLillyV · January 2017

@heatherdubrow no problem! I'm probably super paranoid but I have lightly heard that caffeine can negatively affect fertility. Given, it's about 3x the amount I had this morning. I can easily say that I am being overly cautious! Silly noob me
