Re: TWW Tuesday
Month/Cycle: 8
CD/DPO: 26/9
Timing: high
Testing: Thursday if no AF
R/R: I am going to be a zombie today. I don't know what was wrong with DS. I have him Tylenol because I figured he was teething but he would not sleep. Today is an early release day for the kids today. I love having half the day without the kids hahhaha.
CS/Q: nothing. I took the month off from charting. I kind of expected AF this morning because my LP is so short but b6 has been helping a lot. Hopefully AF will hold off for a few days so I can have another 10+ day LP
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live?
I would move back to the northeast but have a house in Florida to go to when I'm sick of the snow.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 19/6
Timing: O, O+1
Testing: Saturday
R/R: I'm excited to get to work at the library to see if any more items from my fairy tale display got checked out last night! Doing displays is one of my favorite parts of my job.
CS/Q: Not today.
GTKY: I would love to move to the Pacific Northwest near Seattle. My brother lives out there and I love the culture, the mountains, and the huge variety of things to do. Unfortunately I am far from the only librarian with this thought and the job market is super tough out there! But if money were no object...
@brooklyngirl6 FX for no AF and longer LP
Off to WTO. No one follow me!
TTC #2 - August 2016
MFI
IUI #1-3 BFN
BFP 4/21/18 MMC 6/11/18
CD/DPO: 20/4 (based on OPK)
Timing: -5, -4, +2 (not that +2 counts...)
Testing: Probably won't need to, but will on the 3/29
R/R: I've got nothing today.
CS/Q: Nothing to look at since my new thermometer hasn't arrived yet.
GTKY: This is a tough one! I love where I am at now because I have so much family! But we would definitely have a house in Florida. I would also like a house in the Mountains. So I guess if money was no object I would just have houses in all our favorite places.
TTC December 2016
BFP 2/28/17 // CP 3/1/17
MFI Diagnosis: Aug 2017
BFP 11/1/17 // DS born 6/18
TTC January 2019
BFP 3/21/19 // D&C (MMC) 5/8/19
CD/DPO: 26/6
Timing: Meh with delayed O
Testing: Not sure yet
R/R: I'm going to going the sleepy train. My best friends Grandma isn't doing so well so I told her I'd leave my ringer on if she needed anything last night. Well wouldn't you know I got more texts, Facebook messages, snapchats and Instagram tags last night than I have all month and none of them were from her!
CS/Q:
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live? I'm going to say either Chicago because I love the rain or maybe my cottage.
Married: 04/05/15
TTC since: 02/16/16
CD/DPO: 22/6?
R/R: We had our inspection yesterday and everything went fairly well. We haven't seen the official report yet but from what we have been told there are only a few very small things that we will likely request the sellers fix. So all in all pretty good!
CS/Q: I'm really confused now more then ever about my O date after @EmilyLove25 brought up the possibility of a delayed temp shift. I did some reading in TCOYF and on google last night and I discovered that it is possible and actually not all that uncommon for women to O a few days before they see the temp rise. This makes so much sense for what my chart has been doing! Especially because of my slow rise pattern. So I'm actually thinking my O date is 1-2 days earlier then what FF is calculating which is great for my LP and yet annoying all at the same time. See explanation from TCOYF in spoiler.
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live?
Ideally DH and I would have houses in a few places. We would definitely have a house in England somewhere and in Michigan... maybe even more then one place in each. Idk if I can pick one place I would want to stay for an extended period of time because there are so many places I have never been!
@Brooklyngirl6 Sorry to hear you had such a sleepless night.
@Dilynne Sorry to hear you had a sleepless night as well but your friend is lucky to have someone so attentive and willing to help.
CD/DPO: 22/9
Timing: -5, -2, -1, 0
Testing: Nope
R/R: Today is my annoying day at work. I HATE Tuesdays. Most of my day is spent trapped in pointless meetings where I get to sit and listen to a bunch of people go on and on about how busy they are. Maybe if you are really that busy you shouldn't be wasting 2 hours in a meeting talking about how you are busy...just saying...
CS/Q: --
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live? I would love, love, love to have a lake house tucked off in the woods somewhere. But really, I would probably just like to be anywhere other than NJ

Baby Girl H - July 22 2018
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD/DPO: 30/11
Timing:
Testing: I swore I wasn’t going to test until I missed my period… but I had light cramping on my right side yesterday (period is supposed to come this Friday) and I jumped the gun. But now I won’t test until I miss my period! BFNs are rough.
R/R: We haven’t told anyone (family or friends) that we’re trying, because we didn’t want any added pressure during all of this. But family, and sometimes random acquaintances ask anyway! I try to smile and shrug and give some generic answer, but I think it is so rude. It really annoys me.
CS/Q: I’ve got nothing.
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live?
I think I would want to live in the Carolinas. I love the idea of living somewhere warm and southern.
Brooklyngirl6 9 times??!? Wow! Could it be an ear infections? Those have been the biggest culprits for us in terms of waking up bunches.
MrsMiller8588 If you are working exclusively with OPKs, I actually think +2 is smart. You surge before you ovulate and can get a positive 12-72 hours before you ovulate and then the egg lives 12-24 hours. I actually WISH I had enough BD energy left to do that!
Dilynne I bet you can set your phone to ONLY ring and turn off other sounds… just a thought! Hope it isn’t too brutal today!
JJMNO1616 I am SO confused right along with you… I don’t know what to trust since CM isn’t reliable for me… do I go with CBDA OPKs, cheap OPKs, or temperature and assume it is the day after when it might not be?!?!? It totally makes sense for me too that the temperature shift would be a couple of days later, both this month and last month! Once you get more charts under your belt (same for me!), you’ll start understanding your unique patterns (at least I hope lol).
Pinky917 Tuesdays are my pointless meeting days too! Hope you can zone out in some! I know that’s my plan!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 2 (I think), 4 (FF thinks)
Timing:-5, -3, -2, -1, 0 (and I wish I had the energy and patience etc to have done +1 since I’m very unsure of when I O’d… so many OPK positives etc, but my body—and mind—were shut down for business)
Testing: March 31st at the earliest (lol)
R/R: RANT: It is my wedding anniversary and I won’t even get to see DH because he works until 10:30—well, I might see him, but briefly. We did celebrate on Saturday with a date, but it would be nice to at least have dinner together today!
CS/Q: It all confuses me when you combine it with OPKs.
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live? I would live in the exact city I live in now (my parents live there and I grew up there and was finally able to move back and get a job nearby)… but I would live in a MUCH bigger house with a huge yard… and have a nicer car, a nicer wardrobe, new running shoes… you get the idea, lol.

BFP 4/21/18 MMC 6/11/18
CD/DPO: 19/4
Timing: O - DH had shoulder surgery 5 weeks ago, we tried once with the sling on and it was just terrible.
Testing: Trying to limit myself from being too eager with testing as we're just starting out, so 4/3 would be the soonest.
R/R: I took a personal day from work yesterday and it's just absurd how many emails I have waiting for me today.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live?
Could I just live in my current place but buy a sweet house in cash? I love my quirky town and it's a nice size (115k) for getting some city amenities without the traffic and travel time. Otherwise, sign me up for the pacific northwest train too!

CD/DPO: 29/14
Timing: -5,-2,-1,0
Testing: no point
R/R: temp dropped below cover line so just waiting for AF now. Trying to focus on other things, like our upcoming trip home to NY!
CS/Q: today is the first time in three months that my temp went below the cover line and I didn't wake up with AF. Now I get to spend all day waiting.
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live? Maybe back to NY but a different area. Or somewhere in the New England area. Or the Pacific Northwest. I've also really liked the Philadelphia main line area. Can you tell I'm indecisive?

@Augusta108 I've always wondered if it's fun being a librarian! The libraries in Seattle are pretty nice, I can imagine that's a sought after area
@JJMNO1616 Woohoo! Very exciting!
@EmilyLove25 Happy Anniversary! At least you've got a date night planned. My husband and I almost never do anything on the actual date - we always postpone until that weekend. Maybe you guys can make out later when he gets home.
@shortstack930 Sorry for the temp drop. Drink all the wines.
Month/Cycle: 9/8
Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0
Testing: Ugh I really want to but I'm going to try to hold out. I'm showing telltale PMS symptoms though, so I'm not holding out any hope.
R/R: RAIIIIIIIINNNNN. Just so much rain. I've got a light day at work today, though, and I welcome it with open arms!
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live?
I would stay right where I am, but I would buy a bigger house. And I would buy a second home by the river in the woods
Augusta108 I used to think I'd love working in a library, but I'd probably get fired for just reading too much!
Dilynne Ugh, sorry your friends gma is not doing well!
JJMNO1616 Yay for the house inspection! It looks like things are working out!
Pinky917 Hate pointless meetings!
Ashley1153 We need to agree as a society to stop asking couples when they are going to have kids
EmilyLove25 Aww man... I know how it is when DH works late
shortstack930 Sorry for the temp drop!
CD/DPO: 1dp trigger
Timing: well since this was a natural cycle we also hio so -3, -1, 0 (FET on 3/27)
Testing: 5dpt and till beta
R/R: nothing... just nervous nellying my way to transfer
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live? Where I am, maybe a little further south in Manhattan. I'd keep all that money for travel and savings

CS/Q: --
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live? I love my town now since it's where DH and I grew up, and our family is here too. Our house is cute but pretty small/no backyard/shared driveway. If money was truly no object, I would want to buy a way bigger house in our town.

BFP: 8/26/18
CD/DPO: 21/1
Timing: -3, -2, -1 (2x) hoping to get one more in today for good measure, but I'm 99.99% + that yesterday was O.
Testing: not until AF is "late" so maybe April 4th (seems like a lonnngggg way off at this point)
R/R: --
CS/Q: --
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live? I would stay right where we are, our small hometown within an hour/hour and a half of 3 major cities. We bought our "forever" home about a year ago, but it needs some updates, so I'd spend money on that and travel when we wanted.
CD/DPO: 25/10
Timing: -4, -2, 0, +1
Testing: BFN today w/ Wondfo, but I'll keep trying
R/R: --
CS/Q:--
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live? I live in Seattle, and I love it. I've lived here for 8+ years, and the housing market is insane now. I would love to just have a bunch of money to buy a house. But, I'd rather be a renter here (living in the center of the city) than own a house in small town or bigger city.
@Augusta108 I graduated with my MLIS in 2011. I was working part time jobs as an archivist, but I really wanted a full-time job with benefits, so I left the field in 2014. There just aren't that many jobs, and there are so many people with MLIS degrees that want to live here!

CD/DPO: 24/4(?)
Timing: If my O guess is right, we got -3,-1, and O
Testing: I don't have any tests in the house, and I'll try to keep it that way! I've been putting off ordering a value pak of tests & opks from the internet, cos I keep hoping it would be a waste of money, I guess...
R/R: Feeling GREAT today! Just got back from our mini vacation last night and this morning I cut my hair super short for the first time ever and I LOVE it!!!
I've been in a real funk for what feels like all of this year, so I'm just trying to focus on the good right now.
CS/Q: My chart really sucks this month. I didn't even get crosshairs, since I forgot to bring my thermometer on our drip. Just a vertical line, which I guess is based on the OPK and CM I entered just before I left. I took my temp this morning and it was below my usual coverline, so who the hell knows. I might just skip temping for the rest of the month, since our good timing was totally unexpected and maybe I'll manage to just hope for the best until I get my period or not.
GTKY: If money was no object, where would you live? @SingleGeneMe I love Seattle! I might buy a cute little house there if I had the chance. If not, I'd pick something beautiful and modern (but not huge) on a large and handsome piece of land. I'd want it to feel rural, but not be too far from, like, a good organic food co-op and a good school.
