The science march this weekend was truly inspiring to me- all these people standing for science and facts and the process over pseudo-science, half-truths and bullshit- it was beautiful.

R/R: I think I may be taking a bump break since we will most likely be skipping a cycle since my RE office had to cancel my appt. I'm in such a bad place right now mentally, I had a mini meltdown at work last night I just started bawling and I couldn't stop so maybe skipping a cycle is for the best. We'll see

@kiwi2628 I'm glad you're getting to move forward with treatment, hope all goes well.
@starla glad you had a nice weekend with YH
@starla So happy you had a great weekend with YH!
@kaitlink33 I'm so sorry you're in such a bad place right now. You're allowed to be upset and feel all the feels; this is such a difficult process and really wears you down, mentally and emotionally. I hope you enjoy your break and that it's just what you need. We'll be here for you when you're ready to come back. Hugs girl!

@kiwi2628 I've never even heard of a saline sono! And totally agree about the science march!
@starla Yay for mutual testing day!
@kaitlink33 I'd be annoyed with an RE having to cancel... Ugh. I'm sorry about the BFNs. Those sting. I agree with lulu1180, I really hope the break--if you take one--helps you. You have every right to be a debbie downer.
@lulu1180 What's weird for me is that I SS MORE around 5-6 DPO than I do now at 10 DPO... of course I literally have no symptoms to spot. Nothing. Nada. Not a cramp or interesting discharge or even mood changes, darnit! I want to go BSC already!
Month/Cycle: 3/3

Testing: Lol. No.
R/R: Rave: My temps don’t suggest being KU, but I also don’t have PMS. I’ve been struggling with a short LP, so I am just excited that I am at double digit DPO. Really hoping I can make it to 12!
CS/Q: My chart is SO boring this cycle! Literally had the exact same temp yesterday and today. BORING.
GTKY: Tell or show me something inspiring that caught your eye recently.
My dad sent me this photo of earth taken from a NASA Space Craft on Saturn. The gray things at the top are Saturn's rings... sometimes it feels like my little life is so consuming nothing else exists, but umm... all of earth is just a bright dot! Pretty cool!

Testing: BFN this morning
R/R: I'm a bag of miserable today. Hate that I let myself get hopeful and excited and then get crushed each month. It's also Monday and it's cold and gross out. DH was also supposed to go for another sperm test today and then at 7am when getting ready he goes - you called right? They know I am coming? No I didn't DH. You can pick up the phone - I go for testing and blood work all the time. So now he is going to go Friday. Grr just mad and feeling like for whatever reason I am always doing the work/ caring more when it comes to this stuff and the RE. I know he wants this too but just got really angry this morning. Sorry I am such a negative nancy today.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: Tell or show me something inspiring that caught your eye recently.
Ehh sorry I don't have much here today.
@kiwi2628 I totally feel with you on your rant today. I am just ready for June and the IUI because I don't feel like May will magically be our month either - so I am right on the let's get this show on the road boat

Testing: Trying to hold out until a few days after when my cycle normally ends (CD26 - trying to hold until CD29)
R/R: My face is so insanely broken out and I'm so annoyed! I normally break out either when I PMS or at the end of my period but this breakout started smack dab in the middle of my cycle and has only gotten worse over the last few days. I don't even want to wear make up because I'm afraid it will make it worse so I rocking these giant red spots to work. Hopefully nobody comes in my office for the next couple of days.

@lulu1180 I love that saying. And the awesome photo that is with it. I hope the BSC calms down for you.
@EmilyLove25 Holy moly that photo is amazing. I love when something puts a new perspective on things. I have been trying lately not to get so consumed in my own little life and always look a the bigger picture. Oh, and yay for double digits.
@gg620 Sorry you having a rough day and that DH did that.
@gusgus14 Adult acne is the worst. I feel like one thing needs to end before another starts, I am now fighting both the start of wrinkles and acne. I hope it all calms down shortly.

Then to put the icing on the cake he had his brother face time us with their newborn daughter. Needless to say I broke down crying, as it was way too much for me. (He since apologized, and his brother was very understanding too) Then this morning I saw a poor kitty on the side of the road this morning, and cried on the way to work...I am done with today. *TW*

R/R: I'm a bundle of nerves today and I'm not sure why. We are definitely juggling a lot at once right now and this week is also the anniversary of something fairly traumatic that happened when I was in high school, so I think I'm just emotional. Hormones aren't helping. I also have a fairly high stakes exam to take tomorrow and while I can retake it in a worst case scenario, I don't feel ready and the perfectionist in me hates it. I have more than enough to stay busy/keep my mind off of the bad things but I'm just having trouble not letting myself get overwhelmed.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Tell or show me something inspiring that caught your eye recently. I saw this quote and I found it really helpful in regards to this whole process and the giant waiting game of TTC: "Trust the wait. Embrace the uncertainty. Enjoy the beauty of becoming. When nothing is certain, anything is possible."
@kaitlink33 I'm sorry that you're in such a bad place at the moment. I understand the need to take a cycle off if you think that mental break is what's best. If you change your mind, we will be here to support you. I'm happy your RE had a last minute opening though so that the decision is yours to make.
@lulu1180 I'm sorry the TWW crazy and SS is kicking in so early this cycle. I get it. I hope you're able to regroup if it gets to be too much. I loved your picture btw!
@EmilyLove25 That's great about your LP...I hope it keeps it up and FX it means even better things. That picture is so cool...I'm always amazed by that kind of thing. This universe is so much bigger than us or what we can imagine.
@50Wife Congratulations and Happy Anniversary! Eight years is a huge accomplishment and deserves to be celebrated. Enjoy that day off.
@GG620 I'm sorry for the BFN. All of the hugs. Let yourself process and feel all of the feels...getting frustrated with DH in the middle of all of this stuff can be the worst. Sometimes I hate that mine is so nonchalant while I'm driving myself crazy. I probably need to take a page from his book but it can be so hard to see it that way when you're having a challenging time.
@SoraLk It's the worst when triggers seem to be everywhere. I'm sorry you had such a bad day. I hope your week starts to improve.
Honestly, hugs all around today ladies. I'm sorry so many of us seem to be having a tough go.
@magnolia131 Thank you. Trying to stay positive - but I do hope this week will be a good week.
@50Wife Congrats on the anniversary! Hope you have many more

R/R: I freaked out a little this morning because my temp was low, but I took it on the other side and it was back to where it's supposed to be. Then I realized the first temp was in the cheek pointed at the fan and window, and was freezing cold.
I woke up this morning and I just feel not pregnant. Which is weird because up until yesterday I was hopefully optimistic that I was. So much so that I was wandering around the internet seeing how likely it was and trying not to POAS. Apparently that insanity has left me. Good.
We find out if we won the house we bid on a week and a half ago. I'm excited but I don't expect to win it. There were a lot of people interested and although we bid over asking price, I don't think it was enough.
CS/Q: Not today.
GTKY: My older sister just told me that she is in a size 12 and a m/l. I'm so proud of her. A little jealous, because if I had continued the downward trend I was experiencing in 2015 I'd be at my goal weight right now and she started this year and had way less to lose. But I'm trying to think of it as if she can do it I can too!

So I've recently been given new tasks at work, as my counterpart has been moving on to a different project. This has substantially increased my work load and I've been feeling the pressure to stay focused while at work. It has been a lot harder to find time to bump... I may need to switch up my routine a bit so I can still actively participate on this board.

This morning on the radio a line from the Help was quoted
I love this quote, because sometimes you just need to just remember that no matter what life throws at you, you are worth something.
@Mythril WOW, I'm actually really impressed your 18 DPO and you haven't tested yet! Idk if I could hold out that long.
@EmilyLove25 Not gonna lie, I assumed your name IRL was Emily. Where did you get the inspiration for your username then?
@SoraLk So sorry to hear about all the BFNs this weekend.
@GG620 Sorry about the BNF this morning.
Edited to fix grammar
@GG620 I totally relate to you re: DH. No matter how supportive a SO is, I don't think they quite "get" it... it's more personal and intimate for us. I feel the same way about being KU. I know DH wants this baby to come into our lives, but I don't always feel the support day in and day out. So I think you are totally entitled to feel the way you do!
@darkrose88 I absolutely love love that your main frustration with new tasks at work is not being able to bump and that you might switch your schedule to bump more regularly... a girl after my own heart and **TW** Emily was my grandmother's name who I lost when I was very young. I did not know her well but have long suspected a lot of who I am innately, comes from her (and my mom). Also, she is the namesake for DD. **End TW**
@Mythril I have been having SO many similar temp issues! And I literally don't get how moving it from one cheek to the next changes it, but it does! I know if I was asking advice, people would tell me to temp vaginally... but I can't bring myself to do that (yet...). Glad the crazy has subsided... it's the one great thing about "knowing/believing" you aren't KU.

@GG620 So sorry you’re also feeling down today. I wish I could reach through the screen and give some of you ladies big hugs today!
@gusgus14 My face has also broken out worse this cycle than it has any previous cycle. Fx it’s a good sign for both of us!
@labgrand2012 When you think about testing, refer to this site for the breakdown of chances of a false negative by DPO - https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/results-by-day-past-ovulation.php
@SoraLk I’m sorry you had such a bad day yesterday! Take some time for yourself and maybe sit down with you SO and let him know exactly how these things make you feel and why.
@kiwi2628 I know how you feel girl….how long is your normal LP? Also, loving that you used a LOTR meme!
@magnolia131 Sometimes I find that if I take a few minutes, close my eyes and take a couple deep breaths, things seem just a tiny bit better. I hope things get better for you today!
@Mythril That is awesome about your sister! Also, fx they accept your bid on the house!
@darkrose88 I’m with you on trying to find time to bump! And especially right now because I’m trying to give everyone the support that they need and deserve through all the rough times.

Oh - and I forgot to mention it in my original post. My weekend wasn't all bad. I toured the wedding venue on Saturday and it was the best. It's the perfect size for a small wedding and has a super cute view of the river, and as long as they don't have the outside tent/courtyard booked too we can use it in addition for photography. I'm just waiting on the estimate from the event coordinator!
