Re: TWW Thursday 3/30
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:25/7
Timing: -2, -1, O, +1
Testing: Hoping to hold out for another week but I'm already having fantasies about peeing on things...
Rant / Rave: Rant:I have to work day shift today, and I suck at getting up at 5:15, so I had a terrible sleep last night, despite getting to bed on time. I woke up probably every hour and completely soaked the bed in sweat... So gross. Rave: My temp went back up this AM, so that's reassuring, though I don't know how much I believe it see rant... I'm wearing a liner to work just in case...
CS / Q: nah
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history?
I'm nearly 50% Finnish, my great-grandparents immigrated from Finland and helped establish the community I grew up in and my grandfather was a fairly well-established business man in the area before he retired when I was a kid. I actually didn't realize just how many lives he touched until I went to his funeral a few years ago and there were HUNDREDS of people there, it was overwhelming!
CD / DPO: 19/9 I think...
Timing: pretty good
Testing: Next Tuesday if AF isn't already here. Since I ovulated so early, even with good timing, I am assuming I am out this cycle
Rant / Rave: My back still hurts today but I worked out and it felt so good! It is a short day today at work and my H is coming home from a business trip today!
CS / Q:
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history?
My moms dads side of the family is German and came over in 1826. My moms moms side came over 2 ships after the mayflower. I am actually related to one of the founders of Yale and the Pierpont family (The 'P' in JP Morgan) and a couple other cool people.
@kvacmak Getting up early sucks, but yay for the temp spike!
@kiwi2628 Sorry your back still hurts, but glad you were able to work out! That's awesome that your family came over so shortly after the mayflower and that you have some cool relatives.
Month/Cycle: 7/6, 5/4 AL
CD / DPO: 33/10
Timing: good, but it doesn't matter
Testing: most likely no need
Rant / Rave: Huge temp. drop this morning to barely above the cover line. Definitely feeling like I'm out. I'm hoping AF holds off until at least Saturday so my LP long enough
CS / Q: nope
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history?
I'm half Polish, half Russian. Nothing cool really. We did think we were half German and not at all Russian up until a few years ago when my grandmother's cousin did a family tree and found out we were wrong!
CD / DPO: 20/1
Timing: -1, -3, -5
Testing: holding out. So easy for me to say today, 1 dpo.
Rant / Rave: Is anyone else really over this April the pregnant giraffe thing? I'm so sick of seeing the video come up in FB feed. She's been "any day now" for over a month. The Today show was discussing this morning that it might be a hoax because April Fool's Day is coming and the giraffe is called April.
CS / Q:
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history? I love learning and knowing about my heritage. I'm approx 50 percent German, 25 percent Czech and 25 percent Irish.
On my paternal grandfather's side, we go all the way back to America's founding and actually have a member who signed the Declaration of Independence. My mother was first generation, my grandmother came from what is now Czech and my grandfather came from Germany. I really enjoy that I have such a great connection to both sides of the American story - the one who fought for American's independence and my grandmother who came over, alone, not knowing any English, without much education, and made a wonderful life and career for herself.

Good morning! I'll be back later to tag -- I'm currently bumping on a bus full of teenagers on our way to a 4-day field trip!
Month/Cycle: 4/2
CD / DPO: 27/10
Timing: pretty good!
Testing: I was so close to testing this morning but decided against it since I'll be gone all weekend and either way, I want to be at home. I left my tests at home, so we'll see if af is missed on Sunday.
Rant / Rave: Rave! My chart is looking good right now! I am cautiously hopeful. I did a chart overlay this morning with a pregnancy chart and they were sooooo similar!
CS / Q: So I'll be rooming with another teacher who I do not know. Should I warn her about my temping at 5:02am? I'd like to be considerate and temp quietly in the bathroom, but since you're not supposed to move much that won't work. What would you do? It doesn't wake my H, but that doesn't say much.
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history?
On my Mom's side, we're Scots/Irish and French; Dad's side is English and Slovak. In the 1750s my great great (insert a few more) grandfather was escaping Protestant persecution and came to the US after receiving a land grant in Pennsylvania from his friend, Benjamin Franklin!

@kiwi2628 That's a really awesome heritage!
@kvacmak When you think about POAS, check out this site and the chances of getting a false negative on each DPO
@TigerCakes Not to feed any BSC but it could be an implantation dip.....
@Tennis11785 I heard the same speculation about April but tbh I haven't been keeping up with any of it
@CandyApple2012 Have fun on the field trip! As for the temping, I would probably just not do it because it's not really needed since you're in the TWW. I only temp when not at home if I know O should be happening soon or I'm waiting for CHs, otherwise I leave the thermometer at home.
Month/Cycle: 10/14 (5 an-O)
CD/DPO: 14/5
Timing: -5, -2, O, +1
Testing: hahahahahahha not a chance!
Rant/Rave: My boss left the company and yesterday was his last day, he gave his notice on Monday but already had vacation time planned for the second half of this week and next week. I already know who my new supervisor in the company is and have met with her but there's still a lot of unknowns and that kind of freaks me out.
CS/Q: Nope, I already posted in the weekly thread and was helped by a couple of our friends
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history? I don't know percentages but I know on my mom's side, I'm German, French and Hungarian. On my dad's side, I know I'm English and found out after my grandmother passed away that I'm also Irish. The story is that my grandfather was adopted (which we had always known). But my aunt told my dad more after their mother passed a few years ago; friends of my grandfather's adopted parents had a nanny or other servant who was from Ireland that "got herself in a motherly way" (words my dad used when telling the story, it makes me giggle so I always use the same phrase when re-telling) and did not want to keep the baby so the friends (my great grandparents) adopted the baby. I don't know why but I kind of like the story!

Testing: BFN yesterday, waiting for AF any day now
Rant / Rave: My dad is retiring tomorrow! I'm so glad he'll be around more (my mom retired 2 years ago). He's decided to reinvent himself as a carpenter (lol) and I have a million projects for him to help me with
CS / Q: --
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history?
What a great question! My dad is 100% Eastern European (Polish/Lithuanian) and just did a DNA test to confirm it. My mom has alwayskbeen told she's 50% Italian, 50% Irish, but she's doing the DNA kit as well, so we'll see. That means I'm a serious mutt!
@CandyApple2012 you have some serious self control to hold off testing -- I hope it'll be good news!
@Tennis11785 ugh sooo over the damn giraffe.
@kiwi2628 interesting heritage!
DS2: Jan. 2016

Baby #4 on the way!
CD / DPO: 20/1
Timing: not great
Testing: Waiting for AF. Like @Tennis11758 said, it's easy to say when you're 1 DPO.
Rant / Rave: This is a bit of both - I have a lot of headache triggers and have figured out some of the biggest ones through trial and error. I had always suspected that I got headaches right around O and since I have started charting, I have pretty much confirmed that.
CS / Q: nope
GTKY: I am the product of the American melting pot. I know I have German, English, Irish, and Native American ancestry, but I don't know specifics!
@kvacmak - TTC creates some interesting fantasies! Lol!
@kiwi2628 - Yay for short work days and YH coming home!
@Tennis11785 - Whoa, looks like we are CD AND DPO buddies. I am so over April the "pregnant" giraffe.
@CandyApple78 - I feel like my thermometer is quiet enough that it wouldn't wake someone up in a different bed. Hopefully you can just temp like normal!
@lulu1180 - I love old family secrets/stories like that! My maternal grandmother was adopted and we don't know much about her heritage!

Rant / Rave: it's an uneventful day today. We usually meet friends on Thursdays at a local bar for trivia night so that's fun. I *think* my dryer is being replaced today so I'm working from outside the apartment again. Nothing really going on though.
CS / Q:
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history? My mom's father is from Cuba and her mother from Spain. Her father truly came from nothing and has grown to prominent success- his story is the American Dream and a publisher approached him recently to write his biography which makes me proud. My father's side is pretty interesting. My grandmother's family on his side is almost exclusively from Norway however on his father's side we'be traced roots from England, Ireland, and on his grandmother's side we've been able to see that we had family here in America during the 1700s which is incredible. One of my ancestors was a mayor in Maryland during the Civil War so we have found some accounts of him. My great uncle fought in the Battle of the Bulge but sadly passed days before he was due to return home- I've been able to find photos of him online from when he was at training camp and accounts of his company's story. I love researching this stuff but it's been a long time since I've had time. I really want to dig into DH's genealogy next because he never even knew his grandparents.
@MrsMiller8588 sorry to see you go! Treat yourself today.
@kvacmak there's just something about being 7-8 DPO that makes a girl want to POAS. Sorry for the poor night's sleep.
@TigerCakes sorry for the temp drop- I hope your LP sticks it out a little longer.
@Tennis11785 If the April fools thing is true, then that would be pretty funny. Also, I thought the way you described your lineage representing different sides of American independence was really touching.
@lulu1180 Sorry for the stressful work situation. Unknowns in the workplace are the worst kind of uncertainties. I hope things don't change too much for you.
@kmalls Congratulations to your dad! I'm sorry for the BFN.
Ok you guys I'm going to be 100% honest but I didn't realize how annoying bumping mobile would be. I will try and be back for more replies later and I apologize in advance for typos.
@kvacmak that is a sweet story about your grandfather
@kiwi2628 glad you were able to get some of a workout in
@TigerCakes sorry about the temp drop
@Tennis11785 I have not been keeping up with April, enough already. Really cool about your family history
@CandyApple2012 have fun on the field trip, FX you have a reason to test when you return
@lulu1180 GL with the uncertainty around your new supervisor. I really liked your family story, "got in a motherly way" what a great expression
@kmalls congrats to your dad!
@morado23 it always amazes me what we can learn about our bodies through temping/charting. I'm pretty new to it, but I find it so cool
@elisek-2 sorry about the bfn
Month/Cycle: 5/6
CD / DPO: 17/8
Timing: it was in the window, but not great
Testing: not this time, those stark white tests are really depressing
Rant / Rave: it is raining and windy and there is hail in the forecast, I wish I was at home. On the bright side work is kind of mellow. So, more time for getting work done bumping.
CS / Q:
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history?
I, too, am a product of the American melting pot. One of my great grandfathers was Italian, came over on a boat in the 1800s. Other than that on my dad's side I've got German & English and on my mom's we've got Spanish, English and French, Italian possibly some Irish. My uncle is really into genealogy and apparently has followed some branch of the family tree back to Napoleon.

@MrsMiller8588 Sorry for CD 1 but hope you have fun on your trip!
@Tennis11785 Totally out of the loop on this April thing, but you did remind me one of the million reasons I'm glad I deactivated my FB!
@CandyApple2012 FX for you!
@lulu1180 Yeah, new bosses are scary--can totally change the whole vibe of a job.
@kmalls Sorry for the BFN but hopefully it was just too early!
@KatieEl Sorry for CD 1, but that's good you're going to get your LP looked into.
@morado23 Kind of TMI, but I've discovered the same kind of thing through charting but with constipation instead of headaches right around and after O. Not a fan.
@elisek-2 Sorry for the BFN
Month/Cycle: 12/11
CD / DPO:41/5
Timing: good
Testing: no
Rant / Rave: Had one of those awkward accidentally told someone I wasn't planning to that we had been TTC for awhile moments and now feel stupid about it and trying to convince myself it won't make everything weird.
CS / Q:
GTKY: OK so this one will be a downer... **TW** I'm 1/4 Russian, 1/4 Belarussian, 1/4 Polish, 1/4 Romanian, and all Jew. My mom's side came over pre-Holocaust, and dad's side came over during and some were killed. My father's father was accepted to medical school in Germany when it all started and had to give up his dream of becoming a doctor because he'd obviously be killed there. Both sides came here with no paperwork or records, so we have basically no information from "the old country". In fact, part of our family fled to South America and we don't even know their names.
@kvackam Night sweats are super annoying. I get them too and always have to restraighten my hair because it goes curly!
@kiwi2628 Glad your back didn't stop your workout! Sounds like you are on track for a good day!
@TigerCakes Sorry for temp drop
@Tennis11785 I don't have FB anymore but my co-workers have been talking about the giraffe for weeks ::eye roll:: so I asked my sister about it and she filled me in. She sent me a screenshot yesterday of the webcam so I could see what it was about. I could totally see it being a hoax! I'm no zoologist and it could have been a bad angle, but that giraffe looked very svelte to be just about to give birth. It would reflect pretty bad on our society if so many people we sucked in by a hoax like that.
@CandyApple2012 FX your pretty chart is a good sign!
@lulu1180 The story about your grandfather is so interest. Things work out exactly how they should. Your whole family line comes from that one decision to adopt him from the nanny.
@kmalls Congrats to your dad on his retirement! Though it sounds like you'll keep him busy LOL! Which DNA kit did your parents use?
@KatieEl sorry for CD 1
@morado23 I've been getting headaches lately too. I feel for you. It's rough.
@elisek-2 Sounds like you had a lovely morning with DH!
@magnolia131 Wow! Your family story is so varied. It sounds like you have a lot of interesting folks in you family tree!
@Avrilmai Sorry about the rough weather! Stay safe (and dry!)
@vflux33 Sorry for the awkward run it. It's tough trying to tap dance around words.
Month/Cycle: 4/5 (Edited: because somewhere along the line my month count got away from me)
CD / DPO: 19/4
Timing: Ok...
Testing: A long ways away if necessary
Rant / Rave: Rant: Some of you ladies may remember my rant last week in WTO about the co-worker would assumed I was KU based on my bathroom habits and then started telling people. Well in the week since, I feel like so many people have either asked me when I'm going to get KU or if I'm planning on it. It's gotten pretty annoying. I guess since I'm now passed the 6 months married benchmark people think its ok to start asking that question. However, since getting married, I've put on some noticeable newlywed weight and the self-conscious part of me thinks that everyone is now just assuming that I am because of my weight gain and just waiting for me to confirm. So as if its not frustrating enough that I'm staring down another month roll over and have to field these questions as nicely as possible, but now I have the added insecurity that people are making assumptions based on my waistline. Whatever happened to boundaries?
Rave (but also a semi-rant): Because of aforementioned weight gain, I need to go shopping this weekend. Yay for new clothes, ugh for trying them on
CS / Q: My coverline is super high this cycle. I'm thinking it because I marked CD 1 before my temp had dropped below last cycles coverline. Will make things difficult to track?
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history?
I know we have some German and some Irish on my dad's side and some Irish and Welsh on my mom's but don't know percentages. My grandfather on my dad's side started showing signs on Alzheimer's when I was a pre-teen, before the age where I really wanted to ask questions and know things. He fought in WWII and was involved in some pretty important battles, even had some photos of battles but I was not allowed to see those and he didn't talk much about that part of the war. My great-grandfather on that side was in WWI and I vaguely remember my grandfather mentioning one of his relatives being in the Civil War. I also don't know much about my paternal grandmother's family other than they lived in Center City Philadelphia during the depression. Her father died very young in some kind of an accident and her mother raised all the kids (4 I think) as a single mom. We aren't close to my mom's side of the family, so I barely know the living over there, let alone the past. I've tried researching on Ancestry.com but really couldn't find anything. I want to do one of the DNA study kits. Hopefully that would help because I would love to be able to find out more!

ETA the coverline is just a tool to help visualize the temp shift better. While most people have one that stays within a range, others have one that may vary widely between cycles

@SoldiersMom Wow that is so rude of your coworker! As if life isn't hard enough without the rumor mill...
Also - for those who have mentioned the DNA kit, I've done it and for what it's worth, I was really disappointed. It's likely because I know so much and nothing new came up. But like I was interested to see what came back for my grandmother because we only know what she's told us, but there is no real documentation. But (and I get why) they can't really break it down beyond "eastern Europe" and "western Europe", and there is a lot of overlap for the countries that could fall in those two regions. Like they said both Czech and Germany could come up as eastern OR western Europe. So it could be good if you don't really know, but I was just underwhelmed with my results.

kiwi2628 Nice if you got some of that Pierpont money! JK
TigerCakes Sorry about the temp drop! Your heritage sounds cool to me! But then I feel like anyone who can trace their family tree like that is super lucky!
Tennis11785 I haven't been on facebook for months so glad to be missing the pregnant giraffe
CandyApple2012 Hmmm.. I usually just use my hand to sort of drown out some of the beeping. Not sure if it helps much....maybe she wont wake up. Or maybe just tell her: oh that was an alarm on my phone I forgot to disable?
lulu1180 Fingers frossed your new supervisor is cool... unknowns are always nerve wracking!
kmalls Congrats to your dad! Glad he has a plan to keep busy! My dad opened up a fish shop after he retired. Hes just recently retired from that to after about 8 years:)
KatieEl Good luck with your dr's apt! Hopefully they can figure out whats been going on with your lp!
morado23 my heritage is also very..."only could happen in America"
elisek-2 Sorry for the bfn!
magnolia131 omg... that dryer is still lingering on? Did all the stuff you washed and hung up survive?
Avrilmai where do you live that its going to hail!?!? Ugh
vflux33 my cousin accidentally found out about my ttc and I'm super unhappy about it. Just try not to think about it. And don't talk about it to them anymore if you aren't comfortable with it. Hopefully they will only talk about it if you bring it up first
SoldiersMom I never understand why people think they can ask about stuff like this!
CD / DPO: 28/3DP5DT
Timing: FET on 3/27
Testing: still testing out the trigger and until beta (4/5)
Rant / Rave: got nothin here... just coasting ...lol
CS / Q: nope...temps back up.
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history? I truly have the could only be made in America genetics. I'm the descendant of American slaves, so of course, we were robbed of all the beautiful stories other people have... for the longest, we could only guess at things. Now with dna, I can at least find out about my genetic heritage.... I did 23 and me and found out that of the 6 major human groups they look at, I am 5!!! Cray! I basically have DNA from everywhere in the world somehow all bundled up in me!
CD / DPO: 33/13
Timing: I think it's -3, -1, O
Testing: I'm late, it seems! So I optimistically bought some tests last night on the way home from work. Buuuuut... BFN this morning.
Rant / Rave: I went to work by accident this morning (copied the schedule wrong), so that kinda sucked. But they came up with a reason to need me for 4 h, so at least I'll get a little overtime. (I'm an ER nurse).
It's pretty nice out, so I have big plans to (belatedly) plant some seed garlic.
CS / Q: My chart was the big suck this month, so I have no REAL confirmation of ovulation. I got a positive OPK on CD 19 and then went away without my thermometer for 5 days, so I'm assuming it was CD20. My cycles range from 28 to 32 days normally. I'm going nuts...
Is there some shortcut I'm missing to tag people? I'm just typing "@___", but scrolling up and down and remembering the numbers and whatnot challenges my old brain.
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history?
On my mom's side, 100% Slovak. My dad is 50% Lithuanian, 25% Czech, 25% Austrian... I believe! My mom's grandparents all moved here during a famine around the time of WWI (and during oppressive Austrian rule). Don't know much about my Dad's side.
@kvacmak Probably my forthcoming period, but I teared up a little thinking about your grandpa's funeral
@kiwi2628 hope your back feels better soon!
@TigerCakes thinking long thoughts for your LP
@CandyApple2012 Ben Franklin!?!
@lulu1180 I love that story! My grandma kept her heritage a secret til after my grandfather died, but wouldn't explain why.
@kmalls My dad helps me build all the things. So convenient.
@elisek-2 I just got a BFN on 13 dpo too
@magnolia131 hope you dominate at trivia!
@vflux33 I'm an ER nurse and during my first TWW ever I was like "Charge Nurse, I simply can't do X (a procedure dangerous for pregnant women) because I MIGHT be pregnant!" I was so convinced I was magically instantly pregnant, haha. Embarrassing now.
@SoldiersMom I have weird/bad posture, esp when I get tired, and also belly-breathe, so I feel like once a week one of patients is asking me if I'm pregnant :P I'm sure it's more nosiness than an assessment of your body that's driving your coworkers' comments.
@orbmaker Sorry for the BFN. I too am annoyed with the scrolling up and down to remember the numbers in the usernames so if you find a shortcut I'm interested. And the avoiding things "just in case" gets so old. I realized the other day that I've been avoiding things "just in case I might be KU" a full trimester length longer than an actual pregnancy would last.

@CandyApple2012 Have fun on the field trip! I don't think the beep from the thermometer should bother someone in a different bed.
@lulu1180 I could get behind the idea that it was an implantation dip, but I also had a fairly significant dip 3 days ago too. If AF hasn't showed by tomorrow, I may test then just to put myself out of my misery. Wow, that's crazy that your boss left so quickly! Hopefully, it's a smooth transition for you.
@Kmalls My dad retired last year and it has been great! Congrats to your dad!
@KatieEl Sorry about CD1. FX your appointment will help figure out your LP.
@elisek-2 Sorry about the BFN
@magnolia131 Thanks! Hopefully you got your new dryer!
@Avrilmai Yay for a mellow work day! I'm on a pointless call right now which is why I have time to bump.
@SoldiersMom So sorry about people being all up in your business. It's amazing what people have the balls to say to other people when it comes to their personal life choices.
@dragonette505 Thanks! That's so cool that you ran your DNA and that your have such a mixed heritage.
@orbmaker Sorry about the BFN
@MrsMiller8588 sorry for the CD1. Get some wine!
@kvacmak Thats so cool about your grandpa!
@lulu1180 that is a sweet story about the adoption.
@KatieEl so sorry about the CD1. Same for above, get some wine!
@SoldiersMom the boundaries thing annoys the shit out of me. My H and I have been married for coming up on 4 years now so people are constantly asking. I usually tell people snarky responses like 'well, I actually am enjoying time with my husband before a screaming baby destroys it' or 'vacations are 10000 times better than a poop covered baby'...especially when its to people who already have kids.
@dragonette505 if only we could get some of that money! Sadly I am like 4 times removed from the actual lineage. Womp womp.
@tigercakes I felt like that yesterday about my temp, but it was right back up this morning! Fx same for you!
@Tennis11785 Oh man I was obsessed with April the Giraffe a few weeks ago, I still check on youtube now and again, but I agree, I'm starting to think it's some sort of hoax.
@CandyApple2012 good for you not testing! I agree, it will be better when you're home with YH!
@lulu1180 oh don't worry about me, I found that site LOOOONNNGG ago and was checking it obsessively last cycle when I was going BSC in the TWW, had me convinced I was forsure KU and I was the SS that had symptoms before she could turn a test *facepalm*
@kmalls sorry about BFN
@elisek-2 my bed was so stinky this morning
@magnolia131 I know, right? Its right in the middle of TWW (for most) so test day seems SOOOO far but then the hospital grade tests I have say they may detect HCG 6dpo... so that makes it extra tempting! So far I've held out though lol
@Avrilmai glad you had a mellow day at work!
@SoldiersMom oh man restraightening hair sucks... luckily I wear my hair up for work so it doesn't really matter. Sorry that your coworkers are being dicks about your current situation, that makes it so much harder.
@dragonette that map of your heritage is SO cool!
@orbmaker There's always work for an emerg nurse! I feel like emerg hands out OT like candy! Also, it's the cutest thing ever you teared up about my story!! Thanks!
Month/Cycle: NTNP
CD / DPO: 24/9
Timing: -3, +1
Testing: My LP is consistently 12 days. I've got cheapies at home I COULD take on Saturday or Sunday (11/12 DPO). I COULD just temp (I'm on vacation and chose not to bring the BBT) when I get home but I think the time difference will have me all messed up. We'll see how the willpower holds out.
Rant / Rave: I have to go back to woooooooork on Monday and suffer through some cold temps. Currently 80 and sunny on vacation. I offered to host Mother's Day brunch and am looking forward to planning out the menu (type A in the house)
CS / Q: As someone who is currently producing zero EWCM, am I a moron for taking an allegra today in my TWW? Do I want to avoid it all together, or just while I'm in my TWW?
GTKY: What is your heritage? Do you know anything cool about your family history? My mom just got her DNA analysis back and she's pretty much a European mutt. My dad hasn't had his done, but we suspect the same. She did have 1% Polynesian so we had fun making stories up as to how in the world that showed up!
Sorry to see you go @MrsMiller8588. I suspect I will be not far behind you.
@kvacmak Seeing the community support for your grandfather must have been a really humbling, bittersweet experience. What a cool story.
@kiwi2628 Have fun with the hubbs! Enjoy your time together
@TigerCakes Sorry about your temp drop. Thinking good thoughts for Sunday holdout!
@Tennis11785 I agree; you've got the best of both worlds in your heritage story. So much to be proud of.
@CandyApple2012 Ughhhhhh I feel your pain. I have to spend 3 days camping with my students in the fall and it is 100% the worst part of my job. If I'm still TTCing this fall, I'm totally not going. Whether O is at that time or not, I should just pretend it is. I hope it all goes well and you should totally keep temping! Your roommate will survive (if she even hears it)
@lulu1180 I get stressed out too about the unknowns with a new boss. Hopefully things will be better!
@kmalls The things you could do with a carpenter in the family... jealous! Hope your parents enjoy some R&R time. Mine certainly do now that they're both retired.
@morado23 I'm glad you found a connection between your headaches and O. Not that it makes them any better, but at least you know. I was getting headaches EVERY Monday afternoon and thought there was mold in my building or something, but then I realized it was blood sugar related because I snack so regularly on the weekends and not at all during the week.
@elisek-2 Holding out until Day 13 is awesome willpower! Sorry for the BFN
@magnolia131 I love the mayor during the Civil War story! Super cool connection!
@Avrilmai I completely agree with the white tests. I've squinted and shifted and done everything to see a faint line and nothing
@vflux33 I'm so sorry for what your family endured.
@SoldiersMom Oooooh I would be so fired up if I were you! That's not fair. People at work like to assume "I'm next" and it's frustrating, but that's really crappy the way you're being treated. Have some fantasies about flipping out on them.
@dragonette505 Holy cow that's a graph! So cool. Sorry you don't have the history behind it all
@orbmaker Sorry to hear about your cycle. I have no idea what it means. I hope it means good things!

Re: heritage, recently, in the setting of the "we are a country of immigrants" sentiment/outrage around the first muslim ban, it hit home for me (as a white woman) that no: America was not a choice for all of our ancestors. I hope we can stop sweeping our country's less-told histories under the rug.
@SoldiersMom I'm with you – I'd feel the same way (and definitely feel bad about myself when strangers assume I am pregnant).
