Laser hair removal for practically my entire body. I've almost done it several times but can't get past the price!

CD/DPO: 28
Timing: Doesn't matter
Testing: Not
R/R: Well my spotting is very light off and on so I will stay here until it really hits me. Usually take a couple of days to get the full flow going - nothing like dragging on and on until it really slaps ya in the face.
CS/Q:
GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) I would pay someone ridiculous amounts of money to just help us get KU before the 12 month mark.

CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)
I would plan a long vacation for me, MH and our extended families where we would travel to all the places I've always wanted to visit, but don't have the time or money!
@georgiagirl3050 I'm in the same boat as you, FX for both of us!
@flashley-2 Sorry the spotting is dragging on, that's the worst.
CD/DPO: 23/5
Timing: -2, -1, +1
Testing: April 28th
R/R: Im supposed to pick my mom up from the airport today (she is flying home from vacation and needs a ride home). But I found out yesterday we need to make some later afternoon updates at work (no earlier than 4pm), so I might not be done by the time her flight lands at 630... Thankfully DH has agreed to be my back up, but it would have been nice to see my mom.
CS/Q: Nope just waiting...
GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) I'd go on a European vacation with DH to all the places we both want to visit - Ireland, Scotland, Italty, Spain, etc. We've talked about going into the past, but just never have the money to justify the trip.
@flashley-2 sorry about the spotting.
@georgiagirl3050 I'd love to do laser hair removal as well! Why does it have to be so expensive??

georgiagirl3050 I hope the slight temp spike is a good sign!
flashley-2 Ugh. I’m sorry. I hate when that spotting starts. I’d much rather it just started already.

R/R: Rave: **TW** My 19 month old daughter slept through the night alone for the first time ever. Part of my fertility issues relate, I hope, to BF, which she mostly does at night, so if this keeps going or anything close to this, it could be a big help for me. Plus, you know, sleep is awesome. End TW**
CS/Q: Not yet! Sadly, my chart is resembling last month’s… which I thought was great but obviously wasn’t!
GTKY: A brand new Subaru Outback or Forester with all the features! (I’m boring).

R/R: CH just showed up today and I'm a little bummed we didn't hit O day. I know the timing is ok without it, but still...
CS/Q: --
GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)
Buy a huge, newly constructed house in the town we've been trying to move to! And we'd buy a vacation home, which we are *so close* to doing right now, but if we won the lottery it would be like...SO MUCH BIGGER
@georgiagirl3050 temp going up a bit is great! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
@flashley-2 I'm sorry about the spotting
@sjb2215 travel would be #2 on my list for sure...though maybe not with extended family
@darkrose88 ugh sorry work is potentially getting in the way of seeing your mom.
CD/DPO: 24/8
Timing: -3, -2
Testing: maybe...
R/R: I booked myself a massage for Friday because I desperately need one. Hoping it'll help me relax do I can sleep. This no sleeping thing is rough.
CS/Q:
GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)
I would find the best looking cherry red 1967 Mustang Convertible, buy it and then buy a house with a big, heated garage to keep it in.

R/R: Had a killer workout this morning, haven't sweat that much in awhile, so now I feel amazing but know the afternoon slump is going to hit hard as we have a potluck today.
CS/Q:
GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) Well after doing the responsible things I think there would be two things I would do, a long spa vacation where I get every service I have ever wanted to try no matter how ridiculous it sounds. I would also bring my whole family to this weekend, including my in-laws from England. Maybe even some theme park for the kids. And I would buy my husband his wedding band that he wants. He has a cheap one that we got when we got married and we always said we would replace but just never have gotten around to it.
@georgiagirl3050 laser hair removal is also something that popped into my head. it would be glorious! Also fx for you!
@flashley-2 sorry the spotting it taking its sweet time
@sjb2215 fx for you!
@darkrose88 I hope your work updates don't take too long so you can see your mom. That is nice of your DH to be your backup though!
@EmilyLove25 **TW** oh a full nights sleep!! I love those! *I hope she keeps it up **TW**
@kmalls sorry you're bummed about not hitting O day, but the rest of the timing looks fantastic!
@Dilynne Ohhh a massage! I hope it helps.

R/R: Today is closing day!! So excited to finally be a homeowner! We also finally know exactly what our closing costs are and it came in under what we were expecting. So thankfully we aren't quite as poor as we were anticipating. OB appointment also went well yesterday which I mentioned in the randoms thread.
CS/Q: No question but my temp took an unexpected dive this morning. Still above the CL but WAY too early for AF to be in the way. Hoping it goes back up a bit tomorrow.
GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)
I think I would take a year to travel the world. I would definitely go to the Maldives and do one of those tikis with my own personal pool in the ocean. I'd also fly first class.. go all out.
@georgiagirl3050 YAY so happy your temp went back up a bit!
@flashley-2 Ugh, so sorry that it's being drawn out like this. I hate spotting.
@Dilynne Good for you! Glad to hear you are scheduling some self care.
@labgrand2012 Is your DH English?!
@LaurenEG14 Good call with the financial planner. I just went straight to spending mode haha.
ETA- @georgiagirl3050 My friend is doing lazer on her bikini area right now and she paied $3,000 for all of her treatments (like 7-8 total?) but there is a lifetime guarantee that the hair will not grow back. She is only 3 treatments in but she said she is so happy she pulled the trigger to do it. I get brazillians every 3-4 weeks and I think I'm going to splurge for it eventually too.
@flashley-2 sorry for the spotting. Hang in there.
@sjb2215 I would also love to travel, maybe just not with my family
@Dilynne enjoy your massage! I got some really good sleep at my last acupuncture appointment.
@laureneg14 I wish someone had thrown me a Harry Potter bridal shower. That sounds awesome!

GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!)
There is a beautiful new construction house that was built to look like an old farm house in a very cool neighborhood near us and that would definitely be my first purchase. I day dream all the time about holding the winning ticket and immediately calling our realtor.

R/R: I'm sick today, not full blown cols or flu just tired and sore throat and stuffy nose so I decided it's a good day to sit in bed and watch Netflix and crochet lol
CS/Q:
GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) Oh geez....either picking up and buying a new house with farm land or getting a tummy tuck....id love to be rid of all the extra skin from losing weight

I was all prepared for a responsible answer! I would say either a dream-ish home or a new car. (I purposely answered this before reading everyone else's answers so I wouldn't be tempted to steal other people's answers!)

CS/Q: None today. I've got everything crossed and I'm praying!
GTKY: If a house is a responsible answer, then the VR headset for steam. So expensive but I want it so bad!
@georgiagirl3050 Laser hair removal. That's smart, I think that would be my next next splurge. For my chine and upper lip.
@Flashley-2 That really bites and I'm sorry you have to wait.
@sjb2215 Vacation would be awesome. Where would you go first?
@darkrose88 I've always wanted to go to Spain, but so few people every consider it.
@EmilyLove25 Not lame. Because I want a new car, too. And it would probably be something just as practical. I hope your daughter keeps it up!
@kmalls O day or not, those are some respectable timings.
@Dilynne Sleep is for the weak! (No, it's not... I wish I could sleep! Lol)
@labgrand2012 I would like to do a spa day. Everyone is thinking of better splurges than me! This would be my third.
@LaurenEG14 Butterbeer! It sounds so good in the books.

@darkrose88 I hope you're able to finish and pick up your mom!
@EmilyLove25 Yay for more sleep!
@kmalls Ohhh yes a fancy vacation house would be great too!
@Dilynne Boo to not sleeping. I hope the massage helps!
@labgrand2012 Good workouts are the best!
@LaurenEG14 Well now I know that if I ever get KU I need a Harry Potter themed baby shower with butterbeer!
@Pinky917 Seriously, the weekend needs to hurry up.
@JJMNO1616 Every time I see pictures of one of those huts in the Maldives I desperately want to go!
@tamalahoops I imagine that wait must be agonizing. You can do it! And it's nice you'll have that day off!

R/R: I'm just having a rough couple of days. My temp dropped today so I know AF is coming. I just don't know how much longer I can deal with this. I feel like I'm getting depressed and I feel like I'm not being a good mother to the child I already have because I'm always so down in the dumps. Part of me just wants to throw in the towel and just be one and done, as hard as that will be, but the other part of me is just telling myself to hang on until our RE appointment next month. Sigh.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: if you won the lottery, what would your first splurge be (before you donate to charity and invest and pay off debts and all the other responsible answers!) a new car--we only have one right now so a getting a second car would be amazing.

@JJMNO1616 We found out the week of closing our closing costs, and they were pretty much what we were expecting. Funnily enough though, about a week after the closing, we got a check in the mail for $8 that we overpaid. Goes to show you never really know what your final costs will be!
