I wish I had studied abroad in college. Its really hard for science majors to do since we have labs and most of those labs arent available abroad (at least not for credit in the US), so it wasn't possible for me, but I really wish I had done it.

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Vitamin D, Coq10, cutting back on drinking. Ok, maybe I'll go back to that one after this weekend. I've got plans to hang out with a big ol' bottle of wine this weekend. Now to just pick out which bottle(s).
R/R: I thought H had the day off and I was looking forward to hanging out with him. But when I woke up this morning, he was all dressed for work. Turns out he needed to go in. Boooo.
CS/Q: Rawr.
GTKY: What is one regret in your life (beyond the realm of TTC) I don't have a whole lot of regrets in life.
Like @Kiwi2628, I really really wish I had studied abroad in college. A lot of my friends who were my age all went to London together, and it was never really the same when they came back. And while that would have been a great experience, those friends all leaving me forced me to become friends with another group of people. Turns out, those people I became friends with are amazing people and I'm still super close to them a decade later. We take trips together annually, we text together almost daily, they are closer to me than my own sister. I can't imagine not having these women in my life at this point.
Oh and it was also the semester I met and started dating my H. He was a year ahead of me in college, so he would have been gone when I came back from abroad and we probably would have never gotten to know each other. I guess that's kinda a big deal too ;-)

CS/Q: just a general question for you ladies who experience pain during O. I typically don't, maybe very minor cramping but most months I don't even notice. Any correlation between when you experience the pain and when you ovulate? Days before? Same day?
I woke up today with pretty bad cramps which is totally out of the norm for me but a negative OPK. Wondering if it's totally unrelated to O
GTKY: What is one regret in your life (beyond the realm of TTC)
Not to sound like all oh everything works out the way it should, but I don't think I'd change anything. I have been through my fair share of shit (both with and without my hubs) and it's made me stronger and appreciate what I have more. I feel like if my path would have changed in any way I either wouldn't have met him or I'd have a crappy job, or something along those lines. I absolutely wasn't always happy with life but here we are. All things considered, I've got it pretty good right now.
Omg that was too corny. Fuck

R/R: I was really excited about joining the TTGP community here because I have only told one person that we are TTC and I wanted a place to be able to learn and talk with others on this same journey, but because I work nights I feel like by the time I can reply to posts and comment on things, it doesn't really contribute to the overall community. I'm considering going back to just lurking. On the plus side, it's going to be 72* F today.
CS/Q: nada
GTKY: What is one regret in your life (beyond the realm of TTC) I wish I had gone to a public university instead of a private one. Then maybe I would have been able to change my major without racking up a ton more in student loans.

Not to just copy everyone else but I also wish I had the opportunity to study abroad while in school. I worked throughout undergrad so I couldn't really afford to leave my job to go abroad for a semester. I also wish that I would have considered the Peace Core after undergrad instead of immediately entering Grad school. Although I have had some amazing career opportunities because of the path I did take, traveling and exploring the world is something I feel like I haven't done nearly enough of.
Happy Friday everyone!!

Like a few of you other ladies, my regret also has to do with college, but not studying abroad. I transferred schools in my junior year and I wish that I had made a different choice. I went with the safe choice and now, 10 years later, I wonder if I would have ended up on a better career path if I had gone with my first choice. I would have been in a better program with much more opportunity and may actually be doing something I enjoy today.

Prioritizing education/career over family. I put everything on hold when I was getting all of my licensing to become a therapist and while I'm happy with my career choice I do have regrets about working too hard and putting other things on hold. TW** when my father in law had cancer I spent a lot of nights working late and not making it over there as often as I could, he passed away a year ago and I still have guilt about that end TW** atleast I know now that work is not my life and I need to prioritize myself and family first.

@morado23 i hope you do decide to stick around, but understand that it can be difficult if you're on opposite schedules.
@beachbunnyxo123 I'm a therapist too and I get the struggle to with putting career first. getting licensed is a process. I went back to grad school a little later, so I too sometimes feel like I put off starting a family.

R/R: Rave: I'm really happy it is Friday and I had some flavored coffee this morning, so a nice treat. Also, and this is a little silly, but I got my head to my knees in a forward bend in yoga yesterday. It was a big accomplishment for me. I was able to hold it the whole time. I've been doing yoga 2-3 times a week for about 10 months now and it is exciting to see how far i've come. Rant: well the air in my building is broken, and it is continuously blowing cold air, and it is so cold inside. I was wearing gloves earlier and to top it off I think I'm getting a cold because of it. Ready to go home, only 6 hours to go!

I really don't have "regrets," but I would've like to have lived somewhere else for a while. I did move to a different city, but still live in my home state. I think it would've been a great experience to live in a different part of the country for a while.

@KariAnn323 Sounds like a great weekend!
@cdnrunning Glad you're feeling better!
@Tennis11785 Sorry your H has to work - hopefully you'll find something indulgent for the day - you definitely deserve it
@50Wife Yay for a long weekend! Most of Canada has Monday off for Family Day - but the province I live in does it a week early, so we just had our long weekend and only get two days now
@morado23 I know how that feels - even being on the West coast, if I don't have time in the morning I feel completely out of the loop. You can try posting in more of the weekly threads (weekly randoms, etc.) if you feel like you missed the daily conversation - but still don't feel bad jumping in even if it's not as active.

GTKY: What is one regret in your life (beyond the realm of TTC)
Like a few other people here, I personally don't have many regrets. I feel like most things work out exactly the way they should. For instance, when I went to college, I regretted going so far from home, and was miserable, but ended up meeting my best friend, and later my husband, by going to that college. So I really can't regret that.
@morado23 I totally understand you hating having so much student loans! I went to undergrad and grad school to a private university and walked away with WAY too many student loans. Also, I hope you stick around, but totally understand, if you feel like you can't contribute in the way you want.
@Avrilmai Wow, that is awesome about the forward bend! I don't even think I could get my legs half way up to my head. I do yoga at home occasionally, and have been thinking about trying to find a studio to join.
@Avrilmai huge fist bump about the yoga accomplishment! It feels so good to see progress like that!

GTKY: What is one regret in your life (beyond the realm of TTC)
I don't really have any major regrets. I tried thinking of things, but I really like who I've turned out to be because of the decisions I've made (good or bad!) and I wouldn't change anything. Studying abroad would have been cool though!
ETA words
@50Wife: I usually get a sharp (side specific) pain day before that fades into a dull general (non side specific) ache into O day which is all gone day after.

R/R: I cant believe I'm still WTO.... insane
CS/Q: none.... either I will O today or I wont.... that's that
GTKY: What is one regret in your life (beyond the realm of TTC) No real regrets... like most everyone else here,I think ive learned that even mistakes can be good learning experiences and they make us more human and empathetic. But because I do want yall to GTK me, I'll dig a lil deeper. I cant say theres one big life mistake I regret, but I do have a bad temper and when I was younger (even into my early 20's) I could say mean things both to strangers and to people I love so much it hurts... and I hurt those people. I made a boy cry in high school and I will never forget how bad I felt after. He was saying mean things to me, but I just went from zero to 5000 and made him cry. He hated me from then on and I don't blame him... I have also said mean things to my siblings, mom and husband (in the early days before we were married) that I regret. Because words can never come back or be washed away, ive taken my regret and used it to control my words better.
I was totally looking for another GIF, and stumbled upon this one. I feel like its summing up today's GTKY question for many of us:

*Potential TW* Last year DH's father was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer just as my school year was starting (I'm a teacher). While I immediately encouraged my husband to go home and stay there for as long as possible (we live many states away), I felt it was SO IMPORTANT to be at open house and booked my flight for the morning after. As important as it really is to me to meet my students' parents, I arrived home on the same day that he passed away. He was too sedated to have a conversation with, and it breaks my heart that I missed the opportunity to really be there for my in-laws and husband. Important lesson to learn about work/family priorities, I guess. But it still makes me sad.

@beachbunnyxo123 so sorry to see you back here! Hugs! I am also in the same boat, I put my career first and for a long time I regretted it and made myseld feel awful about it. But someone here actually put it into perspective for me reminding me that I made the best decisions for myself and DH at the time and am in a more stable position with employment and finances than I was earlier on in my marriage. Not sure if that helps, but at the time it was what I needed to hear. And as time has gone on I have shifted my priorities and because of how hard I worked early on I am able to do that.

Like PP have mentioned I have some regrets about putting career before family, this includes having moved away from family. I wish I had tried harder to stay connected I guess...I tend to get easily annoyed with my family and distance myself and then regret it later.
EWCM is definitely stretchy. They say it should stretch to at least 1 inch like, well, egg whites. Watery CM is also considered fertile, but in my experience you'll know EWCM when you see it.
