Well it's my birthday so we are going out to dinner...
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: lots of things
R/R: I made cupcakes to take to work today and I'm not super happy with how they came out. They're almond cupcakes with a maraschino cherry and it was supposed to be cherry frosting but now it's vanilla. I got cherry flavoring but it tastes like cough drops. Yuck!
CS/Q: Nothing today.
GTKY: What are your Valentines plans? We're going to a dinner in our town for dinner. We're not super big on Valentine's day. *TW* We both went to Northern Illinois University and our first Valentine's Day together was the shooting there. *End TW*

R/R: I'm a sucker for holidays so I'm happy for Valentine's Day today. My son is having pajama day at school (aka daycare) and they're having a party and exchanging Valentine's Day cards/gifts. I'm like stupid excited-this is the stuff I've been waitinf for!
CS/Q: nada
GTKY: What are your Valentines plans? Nothing much. My husband is actually offso we're just making dinner. A big dish of cheat meal pasta and I cannot wait!!!
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt
R/R: Not only is this CD2 after a six day luteal phase, it's the heaviest AF I've had in years, plus cramps. ugh
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What are your Valentines plans? H is out of town so it's me, the three dogs and DD and I'm still sick so this should be fun.
@leekat14 Happy birthday!! Do you have a favorite restaurant for your birthday?
@KariAnn323 Your cupcakes sound delicious. I have no doubt I'd eat half the tray
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPKs, I may get some acupuncture this cycle
R/R: High school health teachers are liars. That is all.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are your Valentines plans?
I am gonna cook a nice dinner, but thats it. We booked a trip to Croatia in a few months so we considered that our Valentines gift to each other.
Edited bc bump ate my post
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: bd eod, preseed when needed
R/R: DH had a Valentine's Day party for work that I planned. The person who was supposed to send out an email last week to tell people didn't. We had a bake sale fundraiser that went well but snacks were supposed to be potluck style and without the email, no one else brought anything. I had 2 dozen mini French onion dip sandwiches for over 2 dozen people. Kind of mad about that.
Real sex talk: total tmi warning
DH and I BD'd even though I totally didn't feel like it and it's Valentine's Day. So romantic but that's ttc life haha. My cervix is in a different position today and he kept hitting it and it hurt so we had to switch it up to a less stimulating position. I haven't checked it recently but considering it's usually low and doesn't hurt I'm assuming it's higher but idk how that would make it uncomfortable. Could also be from it being softer. Felt like a bruise getting whacked over and over again.
Oh oh I get my acupuncture tomorrow and a consult for acne scar removal treatment.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are your Valentines plans?
DH had that party at his work but he had to work through it. I waited at Starbucks for him to finish and then we got Taco Bell for dinner, DTD, and now I'm in bed. He's leaving in the am for a 2 day work trip so no BD tomorrow.
TTC since August 2018
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: CM/CP, doing a horrible job of temping, green tea, pnv, CoQ10, OPKs, acupuncture starting next Monday.
R/R: Slept like crap for what feels like the 100th night in a row. I'm able to fall asleep ok, but I wake up every hour, on the hour.
CS/Q: I'm worried that I'm going to break FF as it tries to analyze my fugly chart.
GTKY: Meh, nothing really. My OPKs are starting to darken, so I told my husband that he should consider today ValenBONER Day. I'm both mature and a lady.
@leekat14 Happy Birthday!
@kiwi2628 I hate that you're back here

CS/Q:
GTKY: What are your Valentines plans? DH and I are going to a restaurant in this cute little square near our home. That's about it but I'm excited because we've been really good about not ordering or eating out so it actually feels like a treat to go to dinner! My work is also having a bake sale and I made some red velvet truffle bars for it - I'm excited to eat one!
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: CM, BBT, PNV
R/R: Had a really busy day yesterday at work and also had to prep for today's festivities. We are having a potluck and secret cupid exchange at work today which should be fun. Otherwise just waiting for my temp spike! Last month O was CD16 so I'm hoping things are somewhat consistent this month.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are your Valentines plans?
Just having a nice homemade dinner with DH tonight.
@leekat14 Happy Birthday!
@cdnrunning Sorry about your rough CD2.
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: temping, fighting with OPKs, CM, PNVs, Vit D, blah, blah, blah...
R/R: So, O may have been yesterday, or maybe today, or maybe none of the above since my body will not get its shit together this month. Ugh...
CS/Q: No yet, but I may request assistance depending on how the next few days go...
GTKY: What are your Valentines plans? Sex, that is all...

@cdnrunning Ugh - sorry AF is being so nasty
@SoraLk The soup competition is a great idea - so jealous!
@jess0211 Aww - I can totally get why that would get you down. FX you are KTFU and not benched - it's up to you about the OPKs. I'd keep doing them, personally, so that I would know when O was - both for testing and for AF. Also - GL to your DH with his surgery!

sorry for the awful AF @cdnrunning. Hope it gets better soon
@kiwi2628 I hear you. Wish I could sue someone for all the time and money I spent stressing about accidental pregnancy, being so careful, 10 years on birth control etc, etc.
@slaven Sorry your party didn't go as planned. I hate when others don't do their part.
@DuchessOfCambridge I always get in at least one coffee during AF, and lots of wine
@Pinky917 I'm sending you virtual positive O energy lol. Maybe we will O together and be real CD twins!
@jess0211 Hugs to you! Hope everything goes well with the surgery. I would still do the OPKs even if you can't HIO anymore so you can have an idea of when you O and timing. Unless you think it'll stress you out with everything else going on. FX for you!

R/R:Off day! But so much work from yesterday to finish, ugh. Positive OPK last night so hoping O is today.
Question for anyone who has done P4 bloodwork - is it supposed to be 7-10 dpo or 7-10 days after positive OPK? I have to schedule mine today.
CS/Q:Nope
GTKY: What are your Valentines plans? HIO lol. We are not big on VDay.
*edited because I do know how to spell simple words.
@JulesDP I cackled when I read ValenBONER day. Like, hardcore cackled.

R/R: I am so mad at my body. Typically my AF is heavy and painful. This time it has been super light. I did JUST go off my IUD so I am chalking it up to that but my NP said AF should come on time and like normal. Maybe it is just too close? I don't know but this is the one time in my life I wanted a real period. Either it's still coming or she is psyching me out. Sorry rant over.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What are your Valentines plans? We really don't have any. We just started back on our diet and exercise routine so just another day for us.

@jess0211 I ended up with some cramps throughout the night/early this morning so I think I may have O'd. DH is gone for work for the night so we'll BD on Thursday-Sunday to round off FW just in case. Being at cycle 6 I'm now getting impatient and all the what if questions and questioning our timing. Also, I hate the feeling when it seems like everyone else has kids. I had a FB pregnancy announcement pop up the other day and made me feel shitty. Actually sometimes we just stop when it feels like that or don't even DTD because I'm not really into it. If that's my pre O then I've probably been missing O this whole time. No biggie, just 6 cycles.
@safire3 DH is military so I can't exactly go nag his chain of command over a party. The person I work with to plan these things is higher ranking and not my husband so I can't nag him to see if he does what he says he'll do. Of course they have their job to do plus they have to oversee their Family Readiness Group on the side. Normally it would be his spouses that does what I do but he's not married. I sent him a message though that I want to improve our communication for events like that but said it in a way that didn't necessarily blame anyone specific for it.
@morado23 sharing is caring!!
@MTgirlCOworld When I had my IUD out I think the first AF was lighter. I did have AF while I had my IUD in. It's gotten heavier but still a regular flow. I think the post IUD AF was because I didn't go through a full cycle so I didn't have a full cycle of uterine lining to shed.
@ktcakes87 I'm not sure if they're all the same or if we're from the same area (is it a chain?) but I loved the Melting Pot!
Oh I guess one of DH's superiors heard that I was doing the Family Group and literally asked DH "But does she actually do anything?". I didn't know he had said that and during the party (which had the room packed) I was talking to this guy about how I have plans for a baseball game trip in the spring and a pancake breakfast. Do I do anything??
TTC since August 2018
@slaven I feel you on the pregnancy announcements. Derek Jeter's wife got KU on the first try and they announced today. Made me so jealous.

His parents had to come get him and carry him out kicking and screaming. Not a good start to the day. Rave: I came home to 2 dozen red roses on the counter & a dozen white roses on my dresser. I think that's as close to an apology as I'm going to get
CS/Q:*tw*. How long after a CP or mc did you bleed for? It's been 23 days now. The last 7 have been spotting but yesterday it was heavier spotting and today it's red. And I'm slightly crampy. I'm over this! H has an SA on Friday & I was hoping we could DTD to help clear the pipes but he's gonna have to take care of that on his own. I have to go in to the dr tomorrow for another hcg test & the said I have to get an rh shot & they want to test my antibodies. I guess I'll ask about the bleeding then*
