CS/Q:

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't?

TigerCakes · March 2017

Month/Cycle: 7/6, 4/4 AL

CD: 24

WAYDTGKU: bbt, pnv, cm, opk, hio eod

R/R: I had positive opks the past 2 days and got a temp spike today! I'll hang out here until I get cross hairs.

CS/Q:

GTKY: The first thing that came to mind is that I wish I was more musically inclined. I'm tone deaf and find it hard to even clap to a beat! It would be nice to be a decent signer/dancer.

cdnrunning · March 2017

@TigerCakes FX you have your ticket outta here!!! See you in the TWW

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: bbt, pnv, red raspberry leaf tea, cm

R/R: Ran my half marathon on Sunday. I felt pretty decent until about 9 miles then slowed quite a bit. I think I'm going to enter a few more in the next few months since the training is already done. All I would need to do is maintain.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't?
I've always wanted to be able to sing. I mean I "can" sing but I'd like to do it without offending anyone

RVAmom315 · March 2017

Month/Cycle 7/8

CD 1

WAYDTGKU Not enough apparently

R/R I knew I was out last cycle and was waiting on AF to show up but it still stings

CSQ --

GTKY. I wish I was crafty and creative.

@TigerCakes FX for CH

@cdnrunning Congrats on the half marathon!

kiwi2628 · March 2017

Month/Cycle: 7/8

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: nada this month!

R/R: I have been MIA here the past 2 weeks- I have been silently creepin, but not really posting very much and I have to say, its been a relaxing break.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't?

I would like to be able to stop and think prior to words flying out of my mouth

cdnrunning · March 2017

@RVAmom315 sorry about CD1. It definitely stings, no matter how prepared you are
@kiwi2628 welcome back from your break!

kiwi2628 · March 2017

@TigerCakes congrats on the possible O!
@cdnrunning kudos ont he half! I cant even run a 5k so people that do marathons impress the shit out of me
@RVAmom315 so sorry for the CD1

KariAnn323 · March 2017

@TigerCakes I can't keep a beat either! In high school a friend tried to teach me how to play the triangle and gave up
@cdnrunning Congrats on the half marathon!

Month/Cycle: 7/7 (4/4, 1/1 AL)

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, CM, PNVs, HIO

R/R: Rave: I finally slept through to the alarm and my BBT was at it's normal pre-O levels. I haven't been sleeping well so it was 0.2-0.4 degrees higher then normal before. Rant: We just have so much to do! DH and I help run a huge convention every year for a dork game that DH plays and it starts on Thursday. DH took tomorrow off work to help set up. Tonight we have to pack our clothes, do a load of laundry, clean the house, and pack up the cars. Between buying the new car Saturday and doing spring birthday celebration with our families on Sunday, we weren't able to prepare as much over the weekend as I would have liked.

CS/Q: Nothing today

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't? I wish I could speak several different languages. I took French in high school, but I don't remember a lot of it.

Cricket648 · March 2017

@TigerCakes Woo hoo! Fx for CH!
@cdnrunning Congrats on the half marathon! I'm a terrible singer, so I wish I could sing, too.
@RVAmom315 Sorry about CD 1
@kiwi2628 Your GTKY made me laugh. I can *usually* control the things I say, but I have a major problem with controlling my facial expressions.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 30

WAYDTGKU: PNV's, BBT, CM, OPK's, Vitex

R/R: Temps are still low, but meh. It's alright.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't?

I wish I could speak another language. I've taken Spanish and German classes before, but it was a struggle and I didn't retain any of it.

lulu1180 · March 2017

@TigerCakes Fx for CHs!

@RVAmom315 Sorry for CD1! Hugs!

@cdnrunning Congrats on finishing the half! I'm trying to motivate myself to start running again.

@kiwi2628 Welcome back! It's so nice to take a break like that once in a while, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Month/Cycle: 10/14 (5 an-O)

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, PNV, Mg, Vit D3

R/R: This is both a rant and a rave; I went to Marshall's last night to pick up a couple pairs of running pants because the ones I already have are straining at the seams a bit since I've gained quite a bit of weight in the past 9+ months. Rant because I've gained too much weight from telling myself that I'll be KTFU any month now so a couple extra pounds won't matter; rave because I'm trying hard to get back into running so get myself in better shape.

CS/Q: Nope!

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't? Ummmmmm.........

lulu1180 · March 2017

@KariAnn323 I also took French in high school. I remember some basics but not nearly enough.

@Cricket648 Fx O is somewhere in sight!

Cricket648 · March 2017

@lulu1180 Have you been in 2ndSole yet (it's the new running store that opened on Detroit)? I they have running groups, and I was thinking about joining.

lulu1180 · March 2017

@Cricket648 No, not yet. I will most likely go there when my shoes give out because I refuse to buy cheap shoes. Also, my pace will be so unbelievable slow right now that I'm not sure I want to showcase it in front of a bunch of other people that will probably easily outrun me lol

Tennis11785 · March 2017

Month/Cycle: 7

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: HIO, PNV, Vit D, Advanced OPKs, tracking CM, cutting back on booze and caffeine

R/R: I have a happy hour to go to after work and I really don't want to. It's far away and involves going into the city...but it's for a friend's birthday so I'm going to go.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't? I've always wanted to be able to do arts and crafts, and I just have no talent there. Once, when doing one of those paint and sip things (which I love despite my lack of talent), I called the "teacher" over to ask for advice and help; he took a look at my tree and tree branches and asked if I was trying to make such a terrible tree. ooooof.

@TigerCakes- WOO HOO! Good luck with your TWW!
@cdnrunning - Congrats on the half! I always say I'm going to keep maintaining after my halfs, and if I don't have a race already on the calendar, I NEVER do it. Get that race on your calendar!!
Welcome back @Kiwi2628! Sometimes a break is good, mentally.
@KariAnn323 - Good luck this weekend. I also wish I could speak another language.
@KariAnn323 and @Cricket648 I used to be able to speak some conversational French, took 4 years of Italian, and took a year of Spanish. Unfortunately, I remember almost none of it now.
Go, @lulu1180, Go! Getting started is always the hardest part.

starla · March 2017

@TigerCakes FX for CH tomorrow!
@cdnrunning Congrats on the half! I agree that once you've already trained, you might as well keep going. You lose the stamina very quickly. I can't wait to start running again as soon as the weather is a bit nicer.
@RVAmom315 Sorry for CD1.

@kiwi2628 I've been thinking of taking a Bump break as well. Maybe after I ovulate, whenever that is. I hope you're doing OK.
@KariAnn323 Good luck with the convention. How many people attend?
@Cricket648 I have a problem controlling my expressions as well. I totally wear my heart on my sleeve. FX for O soon! Have you had an-O cycles before?
@lulu1180 I'm in the same boat about tight pants and gaining a couple pounds. I can't wait to start running again. It's warming up, but all of next week is supposed to be rainy. Maybe we can motivate each other. I want to lose about 15 lbs to get down to my ideal weight.
@Tennis11785 I hope you end up enjoying the happy hour. Also, what a jerk art instructor! I would have said "have some more wine...."

haha seriously though, he should have helped you a bit instead of criticizing.

Month/Cycle: 7/5 (1/1 AL)

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: PNV, temping, OPKs, checking CM and CP, trying green tea this cycle, sexy time

R/R: Rave: It's going to be so nice today! It's going to be sunny and hit 50F. I was trying to convince DH to go for a run with me after work, but he'd rather go for a walk. Ugh I guess that will work.

CS/Q: Link in siggy if anyone wants to tell me what the hell is going on.

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't?
Probably be better at delivering jokes. Also, like many have said, music. I used to play guitar and I play violin, but I wish I was better at both. I'm just "meh" at it.

lulu1180 · March 2017

@Tennis11785 Enjoy happy hour!

@Starla I'm willing to try whatever will help get me going again and do so for more than a few weeks! I'm about 25 lbs or more from my ideal weight. I guess the bottle of wine and 2/3 of a package of oreos after a failed cycle weren't such a great idea in hindsight lol. Although I am running when I get home tonight.

kiwi2628 · March 2017

@lulu1180 Dude, I feel you on some weight gain. Mine has been fairly small (4 lbs over the past 8 months) but I can FEEL it. And I hate it.

@Starla I went MIA during the TWW for the most part last month and it was really good for me. I highly suggest it

beachbunnyxo123 · March 2017

@TigerCakes yay for almost CHs

@cdnrunning I need your fitness motivation! Half marathon that's great! Do you spend a lot of money on races year to year?

@RVAmom315 so sorry for cd 1

@kiwi2628 I'm glad you've been feeling more relaxed! Sometimes taking some space is a good thing although I'm glad your back!

@kariann323 sounds like a super busy week! Hope you have time to do everything you need to and that all goes smoothly

@lulu1180 girl I can totally relate! I just went out and bought more yoga pants for the same reason!!

@Tennis11785 I hope tonight winds up being fun even though it sounds like a hassle to go all the way into the city and on a week night!

@starla I laughed when reading "sexy time". Maybe if you start running on your walk YH will follow!

Month/Cycle: 15/15 4AL

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: testing, OPKs, sex eod

R/R: I had my hsg this morning. I was so nervous about it but in my opinion it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and it was over quickly. RE said everything looks good, my uterus is tilted but he said that's not a concern. I'm still waiting for some blood test results and DH SA results hoping to have those back today. I was concerned about the hsg being so close to my FW but RE said we can have sex wasn't concerned about waitin actually encouraged it

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't? I wish I was more creative with ideas and decorating I'm not that crafty

LaurenEG14 · March 2017

@TigerCakes- Yay! for +OPKs and temp spike! Fx for CH.

@cdnrunning- Very impressive that you can run a half marathon and go 9 miles before you slow down. I have trouble keeping my stamina up for one mile.

@RVAmom315- Sorry for CD 1. Treat yourself today.

@KariAnn323- GL with the convention! Hope you can get everything done without too much stress.

@Tennis11785- Hope you enjoy happy hour. I also hate going into the city for stuff like that. Hope you have a fun time regardless.

Month/Cycle: 2/2 (after 6 months an-o)

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: Opks, PNVs, extra folic acid, HIO ED during fertile week. Looking into adding more.

R/R: Waiting for AF to leave and wishing for Friday already. No motivation.

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't?

I would love to be able to draw. I think it is so impressive and looks like something I would really enjoy. Unfortunately I have no artistic talent at all. I find stick people hard to draw.

lulu1180 · March 2017

@beachbunnyxo123 I'm glad the HSG went well! Hopefully you can get some of that HSG BFP magic that our friend @adirat got!

@LaurenEG14 I feel you on wanting Friday to be here already.

Avrilmai · March 2017

@TigerCakes FX for you!
@cdnrunning running a half marathon is so impressive!
@RVAmom315 Sorry about CD1. As much as we tell ourselves that we're out we still hold out that little bit of hope and it hurts.
@kiwi2628 glad your break was relaxing, selfishly I miss your humor
@KariAnn323 yay on finally getting some sleep! I know this convention is a mixed bag for you since you were hoping you would get to share news with your friends. Sending you all the positive vibes and hoping you can have a great time.
@lulu1180 getting new running pants is the first step right? I mean how am I supposed to exercise if I don't have the appropriate clothes.
@Starla 50F and a walk with the DH sounds lovely!

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU:

R/R: this is a bit of both, I'm currently at home waiting for the cable company to come replace my box. Every 1.5 years it seems we need a new DVR bc they keep giving us a refurbished one. Well this time we're getting a new, new box. I think they must have in the notes that I'm a b!tch bc the customer service rep was basically using deescalating talk the whole time. I'm usually really nice to customer service because I did it for a long time, but once they start lying or being rude I lose my nice. Anyway, I'm chilling at home for a few hours snuggling with my dogs and loving it.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't?

gosh, so many. I'm the one that has no discernible "talent" unless sarcasm and eye rolls count. I would love to be able to play an instrument and like @Tennis11785 @KariAnn323 @Cricket648 i'd love to speak another language. I took 6.5 years of French and I can barely count to 10 now. But it did help me read the menus in France. I also took 2 years of Latin and tried to learn German with an app. I did okay but didn't stick to it.

LaurenEG14 · March 2017

beachbunnyxo123- Glad the hsg went well! GL on getting the rest of the test results back!

starla · March 2017

@beachbunnyxo123 I'm glad that the HSG went well. FX!
@Avrilmai UGH waiting for the cable company (and dealing with them, in general) is the worst. A couple of weeks ago we had a GTKY about what company people wanted to see go out of business and a bunch of people said the cable company. LOL

Cricket648 · March 2017

@Starla I definitely wear my heart on my sleeve, too. My last cycle was an-O. It was 94 days of torture. I won't let it go that long this cycle though.

BertieMeetsGertie · March 2017

@beachbunnyxo123 sooooo glad that your HSG went well!!

@lulu1180 if we lived closer, we could start our own slow runners group!

Rejufsovelem · March 2017

Month/Cycle:2

CD: 1 woohoo.....

WAYDTGKU: PNV EOD

R/R: CD1, that's it.

CS/Q: No

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't? I wish I could talk in front of a bunch of people, not stutter and not get bothered by it.

Avrilmai · March 2017

@beachbunnyxo123 so glad the HSG went well and you and H can still have "sexy time"

pebbledam · March 2017

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: the same old stuff

R/R: I'm upset that my FW will arrive right after the Mass Effect game was just released. Hopefully I can get my DH to put down the Xbox contoller long enough to HIO a few times.

CS/Q: My OPKs say to test urine at room temp. Does anyone actually do that?

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't? I definitely agree with a lot of ladies on the bilinualness, but I'm going to go with figure skating. Or gymnastics. Something graceful. Being a clutz gets old!

hartmich · March 2017

@kiwi2628 Girl I'll trade you your 4lb gain to my 20lb gain!

RVAmom315 · March 2017

Thanks for all the love today ladies!

@Rejufsovelem Sorry for CD 1. I feel your pain

@beachbunnyxo123 So glad the HSG went well *TW I had one the cycle before I got pregnant with DS* I like to believe that had something to do with it

@Avrilmai I used to work in customer service too so I always give the benefit of the doubt (ie don't shoot the messenger) but sometimes you have to! Sorry you had to deal with that

@kiwi2628 Glad you're back and that you had some relaxing times

Tennis11785 · March 2017

@hartmich @lulu1180 - I've come to lovingly call the weight I've put on my "pre-baby bump". Ugh. Where are my running shoes........

lulu1180 · March 2017

I love that @Tennis11785......."pre-baby bump"!!

beachbunnyxo123 · March 2017

@lulu1180 @RVAmom315 my RE mentioned the same thing about the hsg and pregnancy. Praying this is our month!

@Avrilmai enjoy cuddle time with the pups! Put your foot down with the cable company if you need to girl!

Thanks

@starla @BertieMeetsGertie @LaurenEG14

@morado23 hopefully DH won't be too preoccupied with the game during your FW! And I have never seen that actually with OPKs what brand are you using?

LoveInDC · March 2017

Poking my head in... hugs for everyone on CD1

@Cricket648 I'm in an-O hell with you right now and I don't have the chance to see an OBGYN until next Friday. If you need someone to talk to/rant with, feel free to PM me. FX we both get out of this soon.

dragonette505 · March 2017

Hey all.... Triggered last night, so I'm off to tww. I'll be lurking here

doula-mama · March 2017

@TigerCakes Yay for the temp spike - FX you get CH soon

@cdnrunning You never cease to impress me! That's amazing that you can run like that!

@RVAmom315 Sorry for CD 1

@kiwi2628 Glad to see you back! Also glad that it was a relaxing break for you

@KariAnn323 That sounds like a busy weekend! Hope you have a blast though!

@Cricket648 I hope your body starts to do something for you soon - I know how crazy the waiting can make you

@lulu1180 Ugh, I feel you - I've also noticed the extra weight. But huge kudos to you for getting back into running!

@Tennis11785 Hopefully you'll have a great time at happy hour - sometimes the hardest part is getting up the motivation to go

@Starla The walk together still sounds nice! By the time we both get home, we're exhausted and don't do much in the evenings...

@beachbunnyxo123 Glad your test went well today! Did you get any indication of next steps after the BW/SA?

@LaurenEG14 FX AF leaves soon!

@Avrilmai I am the same way - I try to have a lot of patience, until someone starts lying, etc. Glad you're getting a new box, and that you get some time to chill at home!

@Rejufsovelem Sorry for CD 1

@morado23 At least with the game distracting him, he may not realize that it's your FW so won't feel any pressure?

@dragonette505 GL in the TWW!!!

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: PNV, herbs, inositol, green and raspberry leaf teas, CoQ10 (for both), evening primrose oil, BBT/CM/CP charting, acupuncture

R/R: This sort of builds off my rant from last week... I had a couple of friends who very passionately and aggressively gave me the 'just relax' and 'it'll happen when it's supposed to happen' lecture, just after I had talked about the most devastating AF yet. They kept going to the point where I had to get up and leave the restaurant in tears. I kinda expected at least one of them to reach out over the weekend or something, and make sure I was okay, or apologize, or even agree to disagree. I haven't heard a peep though, and it's already Tuesday. We have standing Thursday plans, and I'm not sure if I go or not. I wanted to explain my side, but the lack of dialogue makes me think it may not go over well - are we all sitting here thinking that we are right and the other should apologize? My logic is it doesn't matter if you think are you right, if you make someone cry, you apologize for that! So - do I go and pretend it didn't happen? Do I make a point of saying I won't be there? Or do I just not show up?

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't? Like a few others, I wish I was musically inclined. I can't play instruments or sing, but always wished I could

lulu1180 · March 2017

@Sailing_Mama I'm so sorry you had to deal with that! It's kind of a tough situation. I think I would reach out to at least one of them and talk to them; explain what you are so upset and how insensitive they were being when then told you to "just relax." If they still don't understand then let them know that you won't be there on Thursday possibly for the foreseeable future and then nicely say goodbye and hang up. Hugs friend!

beachbunnyxo123 · March 2017

@dragonette505 GL over in the TWW! Fx for you!

@Sailing_Mama I'm going to call this afternoon after my next client session. They called DH with the results but of course he didn't remember what "M" lettered word it was. Sounded like his results were great though. I'm gonna follow up about my BW today too. I agree with @lulu1180 advice. Regardless of how good their intentions are they have to realize how invalidating their feedback was!

Avrilmai · March 2017

@Sailing_Mama I would go and tell them in person how you were/are feeling. Not to get all "therapist" on you, but I always talk with my clients about using "I statements" instead of saying "you made me feel xyz." It gives you the power and lets them know how you were feeling. it can also help to keep others from getting defensive bc once that happens they tend to stop listening to what you're really saying. So, maybe something along the lines of "I really debated coming tonight. after last week I was feeling really angry, sad, disappointed, etc." and then you can share why those feelings came up for you. That article that was linked the other day had some great lines in it as well. Whatever you decide to do know that you have support here.

starla · March 2017

@LoveInDC Oh no... I'm sorry you're still stuck in WTO. It looks like your temp is going down some. Hopefully that means O or at least you'll get AF soon.

@dragonette505 GL in TWW!

@Sailing_Mama We usually shove a few triscuits in our faces then leave right way. Once I sit on the couch, I'm in for the night. In terms of your friend dilemma, I agree with @lulu1180 to call one or both of them individually ahead of time. If you go and bring it up, then it will probably ruin the evening so you might as well not go (unless you want to go and talk about what happened and not worry about having a good time after).

@beachbunnyxo123 Ugh to your H for not remembering the word. Will the doctor tell you DH's results or only directly to the patient?

50Wife · March 2017

@TigerCakes yay for CH being on their way

@cdnrunning congrats on the half marathon! That's awesome!

@RVAmom315 sorry about CD 1

@KariAnn323 good luck with the convention!

@lulu1180 I tell myself each month that I can pig our right be AF is due, because I'll be pregnant anyway so a pound or two isn't that big of a deal

@Tennis11785 I hope you enjoy happy hour!

@Starla it's supposed to be in the 50s here today and I am so excited to try and get outside after work!! It's cloudy now, hoping it doesn't rain.

@beachbunnyxo123 glad your testing is going well!

Month/Cycle: 9/10

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: all the thangs

R/R: so I had my meeting with my OB today. I think it went really well. She has me scheduled for CD 21-23 blood work and then if I get my period, CD 3-5 blood work and then an ultrasound after AF. She coded everything as just a messed up period so I won't be charged for fertility testing.
I'm happy with how it went, I'm glad to just get the ball rolling on testing and make sure everything looks good.

CS/Q: my OPK was lighter today than yesterday, but I don't seem to have ovulated yet. Is this the norm for anyone else?

GTKY: What talent do you wish you had, but don't?
I'd like to be a runner. I'm working on it lol
