  • Just popping in to say AF showed her ugly face today so I'm off to WTO. 

    @Brooklyngirl6 Sorry for the BFN

    @kiwi262 I could totally get behind that trip
    Me: 38 DH:39
    TTC #2 - August 2016
    MFI
    IUI #1-3 BFN 

    Heart Mom - DS 3/15/13

  • Month/Cycle: 14

    CD/DPO: 22/5

    Timing: -3, -2

    Testing: We'll see. 

    R/R: I had a rough night Friday. It was 7:30 AM before I finally fell asleep but only slept til 9:30. I already need a nap

    GTKY: What is your perfect vacation?

    Honestly, just going to either of our family cabins is perfect for me.

  • @mispanda I'm not sure what the suppositories cost completely OOP, but my copay is only $10 so probably not too much I would assume? 
    NTNP since 2012
    Officially TTC #1 since January 2015
  • @flashley-2 "Sleep sun and not too much talking."  Yes, you summed it up much better than I did.

    BFP: 4/19/17 EDD: 12/31/17
  • @shortstack930 even though it is not a perfect vacation for me (because, beaches) I would really like to go on an Alaska cruise. 

    Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 27/10

    Timing: Good

    Testing: Will test Friday or Saturday as I have a big wine drinking party I am supposed to go to Saturday night. 

    R/R: We did our taxes last night and realized we finally have enough deductions to itemize meaning a slightly better tax outlook than we thought. 

    CS/Q: tl;dr - Just out of curiosity, what BBT thermometer do you have and do you ever question its accuracy? I started with a Babico and found it was giving inconsistent readings (sometimes my temp was below 95 degrees and then I would retake and it would be 97+) -- it also had no back light which made it very hard to read. I bought an iSnow-Med and am liking it much better and it seems more accurate. I did some experiments putting both thermometers in my mouth several times and they were quite different. Plus the Babico would vary by as much as .2 from reading to reading, whereas the iSnow stayed within .02 from reading to reading. 

    GTKY: What is your perfect vacation? Somewhere warm but not crazy hot and also near a beach. I like to mix up relaxing, great food, and the opportunity for fun activities. We went to Jamaica last spring and that was perfect. 
  • @breezybee I hear you on the bitter phase. I have been struggling with that myself lately. It's totally understandable. Hugs to you.

  • @zamora_spin I'm not thermometer expert (the one I used is a cheap one from amazon) but there are heat pockets under your tongue.  If the two thermometers are not in the same area, it is understandable that they would have a very small difference.  I would just suggest you take your temperature in the same spot under your tongue every morning.
  • @JJMNO1616 You must be so excited to start TTC next week! Were you waiting until after you bought a house to start trying or did you and YH just decide on end of April?
    @Augusta108 I love Moulin Rouge! When DH and I first started dating, I introduced it to him as well. Thankfully he liked it too. It might have been a deal breaker if he hadn't lol ;)
    @alysapuggles LOL to the comment about the baby clothes! Sorry you and YH have been struggling to get into a good TTC groove. 
    @Pinky917 FF chooses the weirdest temps for the CH. Mine is super low this cycle, which makes my pre-O temps look high. 

    Month/Cycle: 5/3, 3/2 AL

    CD/DPO: 21/3 or 4

    Timing: Good 

    Testing: April 27th, if AF doesn't come first

    R/R: Spent this past weekend cleaning, painting, and packing up the remaining items in the apartment. We have to be all moved out by Friday. I'm so ready to be doing moving, and to get all settled in the new home.  

    CS/Q: FF and I disagree on what day I ovulated. I think I'm only 3 DPO but FF thinks I'm 4 DPO - because the CH is a super low temp. The issue is, I only have 2 days of high temps, as I accidentally slept through my alarm Sunday so I don't know if FF is right or not.   

    GTKY: What is your perfect vacation? My perfect vacation is one where I can explore sights, i.e. go visit to famous landmarks, but also get to relax by a pool/the ocean. I'm thinking Italy, Spain, and Australia would be my top choices that meet those requirements. :)
  • @breezybee sorry you've hit the cynical staget of TTC, I got there about a year or so ago and have never left :( hugs to you, girl.
    @tamalahoops I've had no symptoms this cycle either when usually I'd be cramping by yesterday or day before with a gradual increase in the intensity. This month though, nothing. I start thinking I'm totally out then I think wait this is different so maybe I'm KU....I've been trying to keep the BSC down as I know at this point it's not what it means :/ FX your transfer worked and you have a snugly little bean in there, though!

  • @Brooklyngirl6 Sorry for the BFN. =(

    @kiwi2628 That would be the dream! 2 years of all expense paid travel! I'd do it.

    @RVAmom315 Sorry for AF. *hugs*

    @Augusta108 That sounds absolutely lovely! I'd love to go to England and Scotland sometime.

    @Dilynne Sorry about your rough night, hopefully today doesn't drag for you.

    @flashley-2 I believe you asked me on Friday, but I had P&G. We are planning May 19th, 2018 for our wedding. Also sorry for the rough day, I've got my FX that it's not AF being sneaky. 

    @MJDsquared FX that you won't need to reschedule!

    Month/Cycle: 13 cycles, 8 TTCAL

    CD/DPO: 20 CD/ 5 DPO

    Timing: -1, -3, -4

    Testing: Maybe this weekend. It's likely too early, but I'll probably do it anyway.

    R/R: Had the best day trip with my nephews on Saturday. We took them to a big toy store. They were fussy at first because they just wanted to play with the train table, but once we got them moving through the store there wasn't a single thing they didn't want. LOL

    CS/Q:

    GTKY: What is your perfect vacation? Ever since I was little my dad would tell us stories about his time in the Air Force and all the countries he got to visit. Through his stories I became enthralled in Japan, so going their would be my perfect vacation.

  • @labgrand2012 TB has been doing some really weird things with people's names lately! 

    @flashley-2 I commonly spot after sex so FX that's all it was! 

    @darkrose88 I started a new job in Dec so my inital plan was to start TTC in Feb/March because I have to hit one year before I qualify for FML.  I also didn't want my boss knowing I was KU before I was past my probation phase which is this June. However, I found out shortly after I started that there is also a 30 day "notice" required before I go on FML and no one (who I felt comfortable talking to) could tell me if I could provide the 30 days before my 1yr mark and still qualify. So I'm trying to time TTC to allow for at least 1 year and 1 month just to be safe. I'm not worried about them firing me but if I don't get the FML coverage I will have to pay out of pocket for my medical coverage while out on maternity which is over $600 a month just for me. I also have the better coverage so having the baby and birth under my insurance instead of DH would be ideal.

    @brooklyngirl6 sorry you think AF is coming, but glad you are ready for IF testing and to get some answers

    @kiwi2628 we are going to Vietnam in 2019 with DH's family and I am so darn excited!!! 

    @RVAmom315 sorry for AF *to the wine*

    @augusta108 DH and I love Moulin Rouge! It was actually one of his faves before we even met! hahah

    @JJMNO1616 hooray for new OB - good luck!

    @breezybee im so sorry that you are having a hard cycle. Have definitely been where you are and it is not fun. We all do the best that we can every day. Feel how you feel and do you *hugs*

    @soraLK this weekend is definitely too early for me but I can never hold out so if you want to be masochists together? lol

  • @JJMNO1616 That makes perfect sense to me! I don't think they could legally fire you for getting pregnant, but FMLA is tricky. **TW** A friend of mine actually started at a new company about a year before she had her first baby. I think she started working at the beginning of June, and ended up having the baby, mid-June the next year. She did not have any issues with getting FMLA, but each company is different. So better to be on the safe side! **End TW**  
  • @darkrose88 I know I am probably being way overly cautious but there was also this fear of "what happens if the baby comes early" or "what if I need to go on bedrest" and a bunch of other catastrophic thinking that made me decide to wait. I'm full steem ahead, GDTPT now though! 
  • @JuliaGoolia719 Welcome! Cs/Q is chart stalk/questions. I highly reccomend reading the newbie guide and doing a quick intro on the newbie thread for this week too! Things are structured a little differently here than on the if board but I actually like this one a bit more.  :)

  • @breezybee It's ok to feel like that.  I've been feeling that way for months.  I swear wherever I go there are pregnant ladies everywhere and they feel like complaining about everything.  I totally want to tp them most of the time because I would do anything for those symptoms.  Being jealous makes me a bitch.

  • @JJMNO1616 I hope that's all it was. I have never in my life spotted after sex but who knows !!

  • Thanks @mispanda. I went to my therapist today and just UNLOADED my frustration and anger about the whole thing. It's fucking tough and not fun at all.
