R/R: Just trying to get through this week. With us closing on the house on Friday we have a lot of packing to do. I didn't get any done last night as we had a wake for my great aunt, so tonight after work is going to be all about packing.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What are your three best attributes? (does not have to be physical) Good listener, communication and loyalty.
R/R: Wahoo! Smiley face OPK! I guess
I get my O symptoms a couple of days before actual O. GTK! Also perfect timing
because DH is home from work today. Get to hang out with him and we are going
to see my nephew which I love seeing them together. DH is obsessed with him.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What are your three best
attributes? (does not have to be physical) Hmm good question. My SIL called me
the baby whisperer when my nephew was really little because I could calm him
down pretty quickly. I guess I’d also say loyal and committed.
@purplg8r – GL at your conference
today! I hope if feels like it goes really fast.
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, BBT, green tea, Preseed, going to try raspberry leaf tea this cycle as well
R/R: Took a little time away from the board on CDs 1 and 2, but ready to focus again now! Part of what was making me feel overwhelmed is that I learned my best friend won't be able to start to TTC this summer after all, and I had really been looking forward to being able to talk to her about it. (Not to make everything all about me. I know she's upset about the changed timeline as well, and her being upset also makes me upset.)
CS/Q: No, my three dots look pretty good so far!
GTKY: Im very loyal and am good at putting myself in someone else's shoes and treating them with compassion, even if they're acting like a jerk. I'm also pretty good at finding humor even in stressful situations!
@purplg8r GL with all of those conferences! @darkrose88 I'm so sorry about your great-aunt, but congratulations on the house!
Month/Cycle: 7/7 (4/4, 1/1 AL)

R/R: Sorry for the long absence, I just did not have time during the convention to post. I did do lots of lurking though. The convention went well, but I miss everyone already. No rants other than I really don't want to go to work today.
CS/Q: Nothing today
GTKY: What are your three best attributes? (does not have to be physical) Intelligence, loyalty, and kindness
@purplg8r I hope you get some rest tonight! That's a long day. @BertieMeetsGertie Haha glad it was successful! @darkrose88 I find music and alcohol make activities like cleaning and packing more fun. @justkeepswimming8 Yay for solid smiley!

R/R: Rant: Roof is fixed, but the guy told us we probably need a new roof sooner than we thought. We thought we had 5 years left on it but it might be more like 1-2. My kitty is getting surgery today and I'm worried about her. OPKs are still not getting darker but **TW** at least the HPT was stark white this morning. **END TW**
CS/Q: blahhh
GTKY: What are your three best attributes? (does not have to be physical) Like others have said, loyalty. I'm also empathetic and intelligent.

R/R: I'm probably the only one happy for CD1 today. I'm so excited this is my last cycle TTA though and coming off my longest luteal phase yet (13 days) I was starting to become impatient (even though I know a long LP is a good thing).
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What are your three best attributes? (does not have to be physical)
I'm very loyal, I'm a planner, I have good hair.
@darkrose88 So sorry to hear about your aunt. I'm already dreading packing.
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Extra folic acid, Monitoring CM, OPKs, Whole Pineapple post O
R/R: Thinking I will start using OPKs on saturday. I'm almost positive it's too early but since I am irregular I am afraid I'll miss it. Thankful for cheapies on Amazon since I might be using them for awhile!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What are your three best attributes? (does not have to be physical) I would have to say sense of humor, kindness, and selflessness.
@lulu1180 She has a big cyst on her face. It might be a tumor that's causing the liquid, but the vet thought that if that's the case then it feels small and that she can remove it. Hopefully it doesn't come back. FX for CH!!! It looks really promising. @JJMNO1616 Sorry for CD1, but that's great about the long LP and that you're getting back to TTC!

@Augusta108 I forgot to say Yay for RRL this cycle. I'm a big believer in it now!
@starla! I'm still TTA until next cycle this is my last cycle "on the bench" per say... I've been avoiding for employment reasons, which in the beginning I didn't think was going to last this long. I know I probably confuse a lot of people posting in the dalies, so I thought I would clarity.
@JJMNO1616 Yay for CD1 of your last benched cycle!
@LaurenEG14 I also err on the side of caution, since I use the cheap ones too... I've only been using them a few months and am not confident about not missing my surge
@Stargazer1lily I bet your chickens must be excited for it to be spring!

WAYDTGKU: so. many. things.
R/R: DH and I won fancy tickets to the NHL game last night... and it was SUCH a bad game. The other team scored twice in the first minute and a half. We ended up leaving at the end of the second period, which was kind nice since we weren't too tired to HIO when we got home!
CS/Q: For those of you who check CP - how many days do you find it is high? I'm having trouble distinguishing between medium and high but really want to track it better
GTKY: What are your three best attributes? (does not have to be physical) loyalty, kindness, intelligence

R/R: My alarm didn't go off this morning. Like, the screen showed the word alarm but it didn't make any sound. I woke up 20 minutes after I was supposed to be at work. On the rave side, I bought Chicken Soup for the Married Persons Soul and it's giving me something to think about.
CS/Q:

hmm. My honesty, caring nature and my ability to keep calm in any situation

But still, hugs to you and your family. @justkeepswimming8 Yay for nephew time! Omg, whenever I see DH with babies/kids my uterus yearns even harder than usual. Hahaha. @Augusta108 I'm sorry about your best friend. Both for her, and you. I don't have any real life friends at this stage, but I know if I thought I was going to have someone to talk to about it and then that didn't happen it would be hard! @KariAnn323 I'm glad the convention went well! @starla! Aww, hoping for a successful surgery and easy recovery for your kitty! @lulu1180 FX for another high temp! @JJMNO1616 Yaaay for last TTA cycle!!! @LaurenEG14 I start OPKs on CD 10 because my OB suggested it, but I always feel silly about it since the earliest I've ovulated is CD 21. @Stargazer1lily Glad things are thawing out! It's been rainy and gray here, but I want some sun! @Sailing_Mama Oh my gosh I hate going to sporting events during FW (or really any WTO time) because I never want to HIO when we get home! Glad you left early so you could! @wabash15 Hoping Friday comes fast for you!! @Dilynne Oh no about the alarm! I'm totally tempted to read that now. @Pinky917 I'm glad it's not just me who gets emotional over the tiniest little things sometimes.
@Sailing_Mama Mine is usually medium or high, but there's very little difference between the two. I've seen guidance that says 2nd knuckle is medium and 3rd knuckle is high, but my "medium" is between 2nd and 3rd knuckle. I don't know that it's a very good indicator for me because I also have a hard time distinguishing between firmness and openness. @wabash15 FX for big healthy follies! @Dilynne Maybe you can share some interesting stuff you learn from the book with us. That's crappy about your alarm. @Pinky917 Thanks, she just got out of surgery and is doing well. She has a cone of shame on. LOL. Sorry you're having an emotional day! @MJDsquared I hope your day gets better. @SoldiersMom GL in TWW!

CSQ
GTKY: 3 attributes: Funny, Dedicated, and I think I have pretty eyes
@Sailing_Mama I also agree with @starla that my "medium" is higher than my second knuckle. So when I first started charting CP, I had a lot of medium dats but no low days! My Low is at the second knuckle.
Me: 31 DH: 32 Dating since: 11/17/2001 Married: 9/26/2009 TTC: June 2016
@BertieMeetsGertie@starla! Hmm... I can definitely notice a big difference between low and medium, but find the medium to high is harder to distinguish. I'm going to keep trying though, and see if I start to pick it up better
Thanks for the advice though - I figured I wasn't the only one who finds it a bit of a challenge!
@purplg8r Omg that sounds exhausting talking to that many people so late. @BertieMeetsGertie lol "penis dancing time." That's a new one for me. @darkrose88 Hang in there, girl. You're doing great. @justkeepswimming8 Go on with your smiley face OPK! Woohoo! It's weird that I always feel so accomplished when I get those. @Augusta108 Bummer about your friend, but at least this way, you can be her Guinea pig @starla! Oh kitty kitty. I hope everything turns out ok with his surgery. @lulu1180 FX for CH! Woo! @JJMNO1616 This month will fly by now! That's a really exciting feeling to be able to start soon. Super happy for you! @Stargazer1lily Thats rad that you have chickens. I'd get some if I had a bigger backyard. Do you get a lot of fresh eggs? @Sailing_Mama Too bad about the hockey game, but hell yeah for the doin' it! @wabash15 Good luck on your follie test Friday! @Dilynne OMG I hate it when that happens! It always throws me off for the rest of the day, too. @Pinky917 Haha That happens to me all the time. I get emotional about the dumbest stuff when AF is happening. @MJDsquared I haven't read your finance rant, but hugs to you for being stressed about it. That's always tough. I'll head over there in a minute...
Wow! Mobile bumping and tagging is so hard. Have a wonderful, fantastic, and magical day everyone! We all deserve it!

R/R: So I went to work at the crazy boss's house this morning, ready for an annoying conversation, but she was fine! Crisis over. After work, I came home, made coffee, got back in bed to read all of your posts...and promptly fell asleep again. Haha oops. I'm planning on having a mellow day and thing not to stress myself out so much. I feel like I've been really on edge all week for some reason.
CS/Q: Not today!
GTKY: What are your three best attributes? (does not have to be physical) Loyalty, compassion, humor. And my boobs. Lol.
@Stargazer1lily do you only let your chickens out when its nice out? My chickens are so bad and let themselves out of their run and just roam everywhere. They were even trudging around in the giant snowstorm we had. I thought the wind was gonna take them away.
@BreezyBee Glad everything was fine with your boss! Also holy crap I am so impressed you did all that on mobile! I take forever to do a reply like that on the computer.
@MJDsquared Haha yeah. I'm always mobile bumping. My freaking cat likes to chew on everything and ate through my apple charging cord, so my computer is dead. I should probably get a new one, but I just hate going to the Apple Store so much.
I hope no one minds if I post quickly. Long day at work but I am also in tears... and I figure here is the only place where anyone would understand. AF showed today a week early... so obvi no BFP and also a really short cycle and LP. I don't know what is going on. This is only my third period since no period for 2 years but still. My timing was great this cycle so it's upsetting/confusing. Also no temp drop so what the heck... but here is my real problem: my friend who has two kids and does not want a third has been texting me for two weeks about how her DH came a bit in her and OMG she would "DIE" if she was pregnant with her third and "but what are the chances? It was one time and he barely came!" and "it is so unlikely it would have to be God's wish." Well, guess what? She got a positive test today... many actually... and keeps texting me pictures of them like, "are you sure this is a positive? It is so faint." "OMG, I am crying and shaking, I can't handle this." The pictures are the MOST POSITIVE tests I've ever seen... and how many is she going to send me knowing I'm TTC? And to complain about it to me on unexpected early CD1? Y'all she had given me her maternity clothes and literally asked if I can give them back... I JUST CANNOT. Ugh. I hate this.
@starla! Sorry to hear about your roof, and praying for swift recovery for your kitty's surgery.

@EmilyLove25 I am so sorry. How insensitive of your friend. On CD 1 of all days too. After you've had some to time to think and breathe I would definitely let her know this made you feel and although you are happy for her, you are going through some emotions that made her news and texts more difficult to handle. All the hugs. @breezybee So glad you there was no big issue at work today - I was thinking about you!
@EmilyLove25 So sorry your friend is being so insensitive - hopefully you can talk to her about it when things have settled a bit. For today, can you 'have an appointment' or 'someone stopped by' that you forgot about? And just put some distance between you for a few hours?
@EmilyLove25 Ughhh I'm so sorry. I agree with the previous posters that you should say something to her once you have both had a moment. Without knowing anything about your friends situation, it seems like she is in shock and needs a friend right now but at the same time, it's OK that you may not be the best fit for that role given the circumstances. You are both entitled to your own feelings based on your current personal situations. So hopefully she can understand where you are coming from and find the support she needs from a different friend or family member. I hope you are also able to take care of yourself today.
@EmilyLove25 Sorry for the CD1 and the hard TTC day. I forget are you BF? if so that can really mess with your LP. Your friend is being insensitive... and I think you may just need to text her and tell her you need a break for a minute with all of her BFP stuff. hugs

@EmilyLove25 So sorry for CD1 and for the whole situation with your friend. I agree with the others. Take a moment to distance yourself and once you have had a chance to breath and settle a little bit let her know how you feel. Hugs, and take care of yourself today.
Just poking my head in... @EmilyLove25 I am so incredibly sorry that your day has been so hard. I totally agree with PP, distance yourself for a while if you have to. Take care of yourself today. Don't feel bad if you just need to cry into a glass of wine. Feel free to PM me if you need to rant.

@starla! I'm still TTA until next cycle this is my last cycle "on the bench" per say... I've been avoiding for employment reasons, which in the beginning I didn't think was going to last this long. I know I probably confuse a lot of people posting in the dalies, so I thought I would clarity.

R/R: My alarm didn't go off this morning. Like, the screen showed the word alarm but it didn't make any sound. I woke up 20 minutes after I was supposed to be at work. On the rave side, I bought Chicken Soup for the Married Persons Soul and it's giving me something to think about.

@BertieMeetsGertie Woohoo for that!
@darkrose88 So exciting about your house! But still, hugs to you and your family.
@justkeepswimming8 Yay for nephew time! Omg, whenever I see DH with babies/kids my uterus yearns even harder than usual. Hahaha.
@Augusta108 I'm sorry about your best friend. Both for her, and you. I don't have any real life friends at this stage, but I know if I thought I was going to have someone to talk to about it and then that didn't happen it would be hard!
@KariAnn323 I'm glad the convention went well!
@starla! Aww, hoping for a successful surgery and easy recovery for your kitty!
@lulu1180 FX for another high temp!
@JJMNO1616 Yaaay for last TTA cycle!!!
@LaurenEG14 I start OPKs on CD 10 because my OB suggested it, but I always feel silly about it since the earliest I've ovulated is CD 21.
@Stargazer1lily Glad things are thawing out! It's been rainy and gray here, but I want some sun!
@Sailing_Mama Oh my gosh I hate going to sporting events during FW (or really any WTO time) because I never want to HIO when we get home! Glad you left early so you could!
@wabash15 Hoping Friday comes fast for you!!
@Dilynne Oh no about the alarm! I'm totally tempted to read that now.
@Pinky917 I'm glad it's not just me who gets emotional over the tiniest little things sometimes.

Thanks for the advice though - I figured I wasn't the only one who finds it a bit of a challenge!
@purplg8r Omg that sounds exhausting talking to that many people so late.
@BertieMeetsGertie lol "penis dancing time." That's a new one for me.
@darkrose88 Hang in there, girl. You're doing great.
@justkeepswimming8 Go on with your smiley face OPK! Woohoo! It's weird that I always feel so accomplished when I get those.
@Augusta108 Bummer about your friend, but at least this way, you can be her Guinea pig
@starla! Oh kitty kitty. I hope everything turns out ok with his surgery.
@lulu1180 FX for CH! Woo!
@JJMNO1616 This month will fly by now! That's a really exciting feeling to be able to start soon. Super happy for you!
@Stargazer1lily Thats rad that you have chickens. I'd get some if I had a bigger backyard. Do you get a lot of fresh eggs?
@Sailing_Mama Too bad about the hockey game, but hell yeah for the doin' it!
@wabash15 Good luck on your follie test Friday!
@Dilynne OMG I hate it when that happens! It always throws me off for the rest of the day, too.
@Pinky917 Haha That happens to me all the time. I get emotional about the dumbest stuff when AF is happening.
@MJDsquared I haven't read your finance rant, but hugs to you for being stressed about it. That's always tough. I'll head over there in a minute...
Wow! Mobile bumping and tagging is so hard. Have a wonderful, fantastic, and magical day everyone! We all deserve it!

R/R: So I went to work at the crazy boss's house this morning, ready for an annoying conversation, but she was fine! Crisis over. After work, I came home, made coffee, got back in bed to read all of your posts...and promptly fell asleep again. Haha oops. I'm planning on having a mellow day and thing not to stress myself out so much. I feel like I've been really on edge all week for some reason.
CS/Q: Not today!
