CS/Q: Trying to get my FF chart to link in siggy, but it didn't work. Anyone have any tips?
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? Lots of travel! And someday I'd like to present at a PT conference.
R/R: my parents are coming in tonight & we're going to Epcot. This is the first time that my parents have ever stayed with me in my house (H's family has). They know it always stressed me out in our condo because we had so much clutter and I wasn't as good at cleaning so they'd stay in hotel. It sounds so silly but it's going to feel weird having my parents be the guests in my house.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? I want to skydive. I chicken out every time we try to plan it but I really just need to do it, esp before we get KU.

And I want to run a race in every state (I've done 8 states plus an island--Castaway Cay)
@sbj2215 Enjoy the relaxing weekend! As for your siggy, I just grab my url from the "sharing" tab on the FF website and hyperlink some text in my siggy. Where are you having trouble?
@purplg8r Epcot is on our "must" list for our June trip to Disney! Hosting your parents must be super weird though. It's a big change to family dynamic. FX it goes smoothly for you

WAYDTGKU: HIO, hoping for a temp shift, counting days until I start taking Provera and skip this cycle entirely.
R/R: So one of my aunts (my mother's sister) called me for the first time ever to pre-guilt trip me about the possibility that I might not see my mother for mother's day and that might hurt my mother's feelings. My family is the most passive aggressive. In other news, I'm taking my keeshond to get groomed this morning
CS/Q: Don't be fooled. I'm not actually going to O. The fertile CM is a lie.
GTKY: Leave the country. I've never left the country. Never been on a Caribbean cruise, never been to Canada, not to Mexico. Ideally, I'd like to visit family in Italy, but I'd take anything at this point lol
R/R: Easy day today. I only have 3 dogs. Big dogs. Bernese, Golden Retriever, and Springer spaniel but thankfully they are all well cared for and easy on the head. Then F and I are heading away for the night ! Woot !
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? Travelling. I have never travelled anywhere. I want to go to Africa, Ireland, Germany. I want to own a successful boarding kennel/grooming shop that someday someone else will run for me.
@LoveInDC Come to Canada for sure !!!! Nova Scotia to be specific !! As much as I hate our winters our summers are quite beautiful !!!
R/R: My cat couldn't decide where she wanted to sleep last night and kept rotating between on my chest, on fiance's chest, and in between us. I couldn't be bothered to lock her out of the bed room, so now I'm super tired. Let's hope I make it through work
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? I'm with everyone on traveling. There are so many places I haven't been, that I'd love to visit. I also want to own a beautiful house someday!

R/R: IT'S FRIDAY!! Been a long week. Our builder is being a jerk so that has been emotionally draining and work has just been crazy. But we have a nice weekend with dinner with friends and family time planned, so I am so excited for that.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? I want to see so many places (seattle, grand canyon, napa valley, Greece, Belgium, Spain, Australia, go back to Italy, so many more places, run a half marathon, have a party where I have one of the champagne glass tiers and pour the champagne over to fill them all up, and own a yellow diamond.
@sjb2215 Have fun tonight with your friends! @purplg8r wow, a race in every state sounds like so much fun! Great work on getting 8 down so far. Enjoy Epcot and seeing your parents. @loveindc Sorry for the passive aggressive family. I know confrontation is hard and i certainly don't like it, but it is healthy to just say what you mean sometimes. @kariann323 Hope you husbands pink eye clears soon. @flashley-2 Have a great night away. @stargazer1lily FX your cross hairs stay @soralk Sorry for AF.

R/R: My H is going out of town to meet some friends from med school so I'm on my own for the weekend. Today is supposed to be nice so will probably go down to the beach after barre class.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? Oh definitely a lot of traveling!
R/R: Sooo happy it's Friday! Heading to the new house right after work to continue painting over the weekend. Hopefully everything will be done by Sunday so we can just focus on packing up our apartment and moving in.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? I have mentioned this before but going to the Maldives is on my bucket list. I'd also love to do an African Safari someday.
R/R: It's Friday! It should be a light day at work, since we just had our AGM. DH and I have to work on the boat again this weekend, but it should be a light work weekend too.
CS/Q: It looks like I'm gearing up to O this weekend! Of course, that's already cueing the BSC, because the SS i me can't help but think it's fate that we get KU this weekend, since it's DH's birthday. Sigh.
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? So many things. A major sailing trip (doesn't have to be around the world or anything, but at least a year going down the coast and maybe over to Polynesia). Living off-grid and being self-sufficient. Getting my PMP certification.
WAYDTGKU: Just trying to get some meaningful BD in. My +opk was Wednesday morning, so we HIO Weds night, but I waited too long to initiate last night, so we were both too tired. But, we managed to sneak in a quickie before I left for work this morning
if my O history is anything to go by (thermometer broke), the latest I've O'd after a +opk is two days. So we should be covered for this cycle.
R/R: Random, but woke up with "King of Wishful Thinking" from Pretty Woman stuck in my head.
Anywho, I'm glad we were able to HIO enough to cover my probable O range because DH has now decided to go to his family's lake house for a couple days. He's gonna to help fix one of the docks and do some other work for his step dad. I COULD go, but since I likely no longer need his nut butter, I'm choosing to stay home and enjoy all the carbs, Rolex, and my guilty pleasure shows.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? Definitely lots of travel. My first choices would be Italy and Greece, but there are also lots of places in the US I'd like to see.
@purplg8r I can relate to it being weird having your parents stay with you! When we lived in CO, there was no need for my parents to stay with us because they lived about an hour away, and our house was so tiny that it wasn't ideal anyway. But, now that we're in ND and have a good sized house, we've been hosting lots of house guests and it's nerve wracking! And, definitely go sky diving! I went in Australia and it was really incredible. You only feel like you're falling until you hit terminal velocity, which takes about 2 seconds, so the rest of the time is really fun and not scary at all.
@LoveInDC big eyeroll to your aunt. Your mom is an adult and should be able to understand that you have a life and that you not seeing her on mother's day doesn't mean that you don't care about her.
I'm on mobile so I can't tag very well. Hopefully everyone has a great weekend!
M/C: 17/7 al

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CF, CP, Boning
R/R: it's been a crazy week. We scheduled an appointment with the RE. As some of you know, H didn't think it was time. Thank you to all of you who gave me the very basic IF definition to better explain this to myH. And of course @lund making a flow chart. This week the office called and they had a last minute cancelation and were able to get us in the next day. So we met with an RE about 2 months sooner than expected. He recommended the basics and they had an opening the next morning- so we are in the office getting ready for an HSG. The dr was amazing and H is on board all the way.
GTKU: I'm in the middle of licensing my business and I would love to see it be successful. And my next trip We are hoping to get over to Dubai
@Redpuma119 OMG I'm so glad YH is now on board, and that things are moving so quickly with the RE! I totally made that chart to be funny, but I'm incredibly glad it helped
@lund I asked for it to be funny as well. It's amazing though how simple of an explanation it was. I'd never thought to explain to him the exact definition.
R/R: DH comes home tomorrow! He'll be here bright and early since he's talking a red eye flight. I'm so freaking excited. It's been a loooong week!
CS/Q: so I've had faint test lines on my OPKs all week. I know for it to be considered positive the lines have to be equal but could it be a sign that maybe O is impending or am I just being too hopeful?
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? Buy a house, own a late 60's mustang convertible, travel to LOTS of places foreign and domestic.
@mschanandlerbong1214 glad YH is finally coming home! As for the opks, I almost always have at least SOME sort of test line show up, no matter where I am in my cycle. However, I am able to see a gradual darkening progression when I get close to O. I know that this doesn't happen for everyone, but it's possible that darkening lines could lead to O
WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, tracking CM, teas (green and RRL), pomegranate juice, starting progesterone after O, soon starts the HIO.
R/R: it's Friday! And I get to go with my lab to an escape room at 2 today! Everyone's wanting to be in my team this time because I rocked it the last time we went. Pressure's on! I tried to drop off my prescription for progesterone at Walgreens yesterday, but apparently you have to take it to a specialty pharmacy to get it compounded? Wasn't aware. But there's one a few blocks from where I work, so planning to take a nice walk today!
CS/Q: nothing other than to note that it looks like my temps are much more consistent than back when I started temping before TTC. Hoping that's my body getting it's crap together and maybe I'll see some more consistent cycle lengths? Who knows.
GTKY: unfortunately I'm not much of a bucket list kind of person. Most of my vacations and adventures have been the brainchild if someone else, and I'm happy to do it that way. I do really want to go to South Korea and Japan someday though.

@sjb2215, craft night sounds like a lot of fun! Do you guys have a planned craft tonight? And if you are actually taking about craft beer, I could totally be in support of that too.
@purplg8r, I agree that it is a weird feeling hosting your own parents. And have fun at Epcot!
@LoveInDC, ugh, sorry about the guilt trip. I am totally not looking forward to mother's day, as my SIL and her daughter and my MIL will be in town. And ***TW*** honestly I'd just like to pretend that day doesn't exist because I've been pregnant twice with no take home baby yet***end TW
Hopefully will have time later to come back for more comments!

@labgrand2012 Enjoy your time with friends away from your
jerk builder. TGIF!
@heatherdubrow Hey pretty lady I’m totally jealous of
your (maybe) beach day! Enjoy some R&R time for yourself.
@JJMNO1616 Eeeep! Getting so close to the move! I’m excited
for you AFM, there were a lot of things that got in the way of Mother’s Day.
The irony is, I already talked to my mom about this and about rescheduling. My
aunt had no idea and decided to jump in with the guilt trip anyway.
@Sailing_Mama Pre-guilting is what my family does unfortunately.
I was able to talk her back down, but my family is just too crazy to ever
remember their place. I’ve had these conversations way too many times. You just
learn to accept that it’s going to happen. It sounds like you have an awesome
Friday in store Enjoy it!
@lund Yay for morning quickies! And you’re assuming my
mother is an adult and not a codependent child (which she totally is). In my
family’s mind, my mother’s over attachment is not the problem. The problem is
that my sister and I don’t pacify her by calling her enough or revolving our
lives around her. It’s a whole mess. They’ll never be happy.
@Redpuma119 Congrats on getting in to see the RE so early!
It’s sounds like you’re off to a great start
@Sailing_Mama Fx for a successful weekend of HIO! @lund Glad to hear you could make up for it this morning and have all the bases covered this cycle! @Redpuma119 Wow so glad to hear you got in that quickly to see the RE! Also really happy to hear that your H is on board now. @mschanandlerbong1214 Yay for your DH coming home!! @icecubeinthedesert Hope you have fun today!!
So nevermind on getting the prescription filled today. Seems there's only one pharmacy that will do compounding, and it's right by my OB's office, which is way out of my way. Good news is they will deliver it, but I still need to drop it off.
@flashley-2, I'm still so jealous you get to pet doggies all day. Though I bet you get some real pains in the butt too.
@heatherdubrow, glad to see you back posting here (though of course not that you're back in general). Enjoy the nice day! It's a rare crappy day here in AZ, so I'm jealous!
@JJMNO1616, that's so exciting! It's nice that you had some time to overlap and get the painting done before you have to move all your stuff. We had about 3 weeks, but it was about a 45 min drive between them, and with the dog it was difficult.
@JJMNO1616, what really got us was that our rental company required professional carpet cleaning to be done by us prior to moving out and we ended up having to do the walk through before our last rental day. Which seemed really stupid. Do you just have the painting to do, or are you planning on doing a lot of projects in the house?
Me: 30 | DH: 31 Met: August 2006 Married: July 2012 TTC #1 since June 2016
@icecubeinthedesert Oh that sucks with the carpet cleaning. We actually have to pay a $150 cleaning fee but that means we don't have to clean anything when we move out. At first I was kind of annoyed by the fee but now I'm actually happy we don't have to worry about it. We only have painting before we plan to move in. We are only painting the master and guest bedrrom so it's not too bad.
@sjb2215 another question of “what are you crafting?!” Sounds fun! @purplg8r I want to go skydiving too! DH has no interest. We should do a Bumpie dive! @KariAnn323 Ah quick recovery for your DH! @labgrand2012 Sorry that your builder is being a doofus. Hopefully you can relax and recover from that stress this weekend! @LoveInDC, I ditto @lund! Also sorry that your mom is a woman-child. I can certainly relate to immature mothers. UGH.

R/R: Nothing besides I need to HIO and DH is not being useful in that regard.
CS/Q: None.
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? Travel, which I think is chiche. But specifically I want to do an African safari and an Alaskan cruise.
@icecubeinthedesert lol yeah I get some real asshole dogs and even more asshole people who own them. I usually get bit or nearly bit a minimum of once per day.
@Sailing_Mama we are heading to Sydney. It's about a 3.5 hr drive !
@JJMNO1616 Thats exciting !!! Good luck with all the painting !!
@lund Is it sad the reason I made excited to go away tonight is for the food ??? I may totally on an all carb, high fat diet this past week.
Me 27 DF 44 TTC post VR Sept 21/16 SA 6 weeks post op 50.7 mil count 40% motility
@LoveInDC ah yes, I think we may have commiserated over our moms' douchery in the past. Mine is less petty regarding things like holidays, but otherwise has the emotional intelligence of a 12 year old. Oh and she's a lying alcoholic. So there's that...
@flashley-2 ... food is the reason for my excitement towards anything about 99% of the time
@sjb2215 hope you have a great night and a relaxing weekend! @purplg8r hope everything goes well with your parents! I'm super jealous that you're going to Epcot, have a great time! @LoveInDC ugh that sucks that your aunt was being passive aggressive. I'm sure your mom will appreciate a phone call and hopefully understand if you can't see her. @KariAnn323 that sucks about the pink eye! Hope you don't get it also, that stuff is so contagious. @flashley-2 a night away sounds great, where are you going? Hope you have a great time! @SoraLk sorry about AF and the lack of sleep. @labgrand2012 I can't imagine how much work goes into building/designing your own house and having a jerk of a builder must make it so much more stressful. I hope everything works out! @heatherdubrow so nice to see you back in the dailies! Very excited for your FET! @JJMNO1616 ooh an African safari sounds amazing! @lund yay for a morning quickie! And lol at nut butter. @icecubeinthedesert I've always wanted to try one of those escape rooms! Hope you have a good time!

@icecubeinthedesert usually the husband's also get together and joke that we're having a craft night and then they do a craft beer night, but we'll enjoy a couple drinks too
Also I thought of another r/r: I was SUPPOSED to go to a Beer and Burger fest with my bff tomorrow. I bought my ticket voucher on Groupon, and I THOUGHT that like "reserved" a ticket for me. Nope. I go to to redeem the voucher for a ticket on their online system and SOLD OUT. ARG. I'm SO upset with myself. Why did I wait until the day before to redeem?! Why didn't I do it 4 days ago when I bought the stinking Groupon. UGH.
But I guess in a silver lining that gives me more time to HIO with DH.
R/R: we had a fabulous time in Hawaii!! Unfortunately, today we have to leave. Really not looking forward to 12 hours in the air.
CS/Q: of course I have EWCM on our last day on vacation. I'm hoping O holds out another day or two so that we can get another BD in. Timing us not going to be very good otherwise.

@jjmno1616 Good luck with the painting and moving! Sounds like work but so exciting!
@Sailing_Mama I can relate to the BSC, it is crazy that every month I can come up with a BSC reason that month would be perfect. But hope you enjoy YH birthday and the weekend!
@lund way to go getting in a quickie! It always feels like a win when you slide one extra BD under the wire.
@Redpuma119 Hope the HSG went smoothly! We met with our RE this week too, and I always feel like it is a whirlwind for a few days following with all the tests and appointments. And Dubai is fun! Hope you make it there soon!
@icecubeinthedesert That is interesting regarding the progesterone, I just picked mine up from CVS, must be a different kind. My company did an escape room last week, hope you had fun with your team!
@sjb2215 Have fun at craft night! Can't wait to see pictures @purplg8r FX your parents' visit goes well and isn't too stressful @LoveInDC My fingers are crossed so hard for you this cycle. I keep thinking positive for you and that you'll get your temp rise. Also all I can think about with DH putting on an eye patch is:
@flashley-2 Have fun at your night away! @SoraLk Sorry for AF @labgrand2012 A champagne tower sounds amazing! @heatherdubrow I'm so glad that you're back in the dailies.

R/R: IT'S FRIDAY!! Been a long week. Our builder is being a jerk so that has been emotionally draining and work has just been crazy. But we have a nice weekend with dinner with friends and family time planned, so I am so excited for that.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? I want to see so many places (seattle, grand canyon, napa valley, Greece, Belgium, Spain, Australia, go back to Italy, so many more places, run a half marathon, have a party where I have one of the champagne glass tiers and pour the champagne over to fill them all up, and own a yellow diamond.
@sjb2215 Have fun tonight with your friends!
@purplg8r wow, a race in every state sounds like so much fun! Great work on getting 8 down so far. Enjoy Epcot and seeing your parents.
@loveindc Sorry for the passive aggressive family. I know confrontation is hard and i certainly don't like it, but it is healthy to just say what you mean sometimes.
@kariann323 Hope you husbands pink eye clears soon.
@flashley-2 Have a great night away.
@stargazer1lily FX your cross hairs stay
@soralk Sorry for AF. Hope work isn't too bad today.

@LoveInDC I hope you O and don't need the provera, crossing my fingers for you!
@KariAnn323 sorry about the pink eye, that's the worst!
@flashley-2 have fun on your night away!!
Month/Cycle: 1/1 TTCAL
CD: Not a clue
WAYDTGKU: Another FET cycle
R/R: My H is going out of town to meet some friends from med school so I'm on my own for the weekend. Today is supposed to be nice so will probably go down to the beach after barre class.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? Oh definitely a lot of traveling!
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, PNV, RRL
R/R: Sooo happy it's Friday! Heading to the new house right after work to continue painting over the weekend. Hopefully everything will be done by Sunday so we can just focus on packing up our apartment and moving in.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? I have mentioned this before but going to the Maldives is on my bucket list. I'd also love to do an African Safari someday.
@sjb2215 Craft night sounds like so much fun!
@purplg8r Hope you have a great time at Epcot!
@LoveInDC Do you have other plans on Mothers day?
@KariAnn323 Oh no! Pink eye is the worst... don't touch him until you need to hio lol
@flashley-2 Have a fun get away tonight!
@Stargazer1lily Yay for CH! FX they stay!
@SoraLk Sorry to hear your cat kept you awake last night.
@labgrand2012 Ooo I'm totally with you on owning a yellow diamond. Give me all the diamonds.
@heatherdubrow So happy to see you back on the dallies.
@purplg8r Have fun with your parents - and I know what you mean, it can feel weird having them as guests!
@LoveInDC What? Who calls to pre-guilt someone??? Sorry you have to deal with that - were you able to politely but firmly put her in her place?
@flashley-2 Sounds like a nice Friday! Where are you guys going for the night?
@Stargazer1lily FX your CH stick this time!
@SoraLk Sorry for AF and the crummy night's sleep - hopefully you can rest this weekend!
@labgrand2012 That sounds rather stressful, glad you have a good weekend planned
@heatherdubrow The beach after barre class? I'm so jealous of you right now! Remind me where you are again?
@JJMNO1616 That's exciting that you're so close to moving! Have fun painting and packing!

WAYDTGKU: PNV, herbal tincture, myo-inositol, teas (green and raspberry leaf), EPO, CoQ10, essential oils, acupuncture, BBT/CM/CP charting, OPKs
R/R: It's Friday! It should be a light day at work, since we just had our AGM. DH and I have to work on the boat again this weekend, but it should be a light work weekend too.
CS/Q: It looks like I'm gearing up to O this weekend! Of course, that's already cueing the BSC, because the SS i me can't help but think it's fate that we get KU this weekend, since it's DH's birthday. Sigh.
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? So many things. A major sailing trip (doesn't have to be around the world or anything, but at least a year going down the coast and maybe over to Polynesia). Living off-grid and being self-sufficient. Getting my PMP certification.
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: Just trying to get some meaningful BD in. My +opk was Wednesday morning, so we HIO Weds night, but I waited too long to initiate last night, so we were both too tired. But, we managed to sneak in a quickie before I left for work this morning
if my O history is anything to go by (thermometer broke), the latest I've O'd after a +opk is two days. So we should be covered for this cycle.
R/R: Random, but woke up with "King of Wishful Thinking" from Pretty Woman stuck in my head.
Anywho, I'm glad we were able to HIO enough to cover my probable O range because DH has now decided to go to his family's lake house for a couple days. He's gonna to help fix one of the docks and do some other work for his step dad. I COULD go, but since I likely no longer need his nut butter, I'm choosing to stay home and enjoy all the carbs, Rolex, and my guilty pleasure shows.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? Definitely lots of travel. My first choices would be Italy and Greece, but there are also lots of places in the US I'd like to see.
__________________________________________________
@sjb2215 relaxing weekends are the best!
@purplg8r I can relate to it being weird having your parents stay with you! When we lived in CO, there was no need for my parents to stay with us because they lived about an hour away, and our house was so tiny that it wasn't ideal anyway. But, now that we're in ND and have a good sized house, we've been hosting lots of house guests and it's nerve wracking! And, definitely go sky diving! I went in Australia and it was really incredible. You only feel like you're falling until you hit terminal velocity, which takes about 2 seconds, so the rest of the time is really fun and not scary at all.
@LoveInDC big eyeroll to your aunt. Your mom is an adult and should be able to understand that you have a life and that you not seeing her on mother's day doesn't mean that you don't care about her.
@KariAnn323 ick! Sorry about the pink eye!
@flashley-2 enjoy your night away!
@SoraLk so sorry about CD1-2
@labgrand2012 sorry that your builder and work are being TWs, but I'm glad you have a great weekend planned! Enjoy!
@heatherdubrow hey girl! Too bad we don't live near each other - we could enjoy our DH-less weekends together! FX so hard for this FET
@JJMNO1616 I hope you have a productive weekend! Painting is the worst, but hopefully it'll be all be done soon!

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CF, CP, Boning
R/R: it's been a crazy week. We scheduled an appointment with the RE. As some of you know, H didn't think it was time. Thank you to all of you who gave me the very basic IF definition to better explain this to myH. And of course @lund making a flow chart. This week the office called and they had a last minute cancelation and were able to get us in the next day. So we met with an RE about 2 months sooner than expected. He recommended the basics and they had an opening the next morning- so we are in the office getting ready for an HSG. The dr was amazing and H is on board all the way.
GTKU: I'm in the middle of licensing my business and I would love to see it be successful. And my next trip We are hoping to get over to Dubai
@lund I can't even tell you how much I would love that!!
CD: 32
WAYDTGKU: PNV OPK BBT CM
R/R: DH comes home tomorrow! He'll be here bright and early since he's talking a red eye flight. I'm so freaking excited. It's been a loooong week!
CS/Q: so I've had faint test lines on my OPKs all week. I know for it to be considered positive the lines have to be equal but could it be a sign that maybe O is impending or am I just being too hopeful?
GTKY: What are some things you have on your bucket list ??? Buy a house, own a late 60's mustang convertible, travel to LOTS of places foreign and domestic.
-----------------------------------------------------
@sjb2215 a relaxing weekend sounds like heaven! What are you crafting tonight?
@purplg8r I remember the first time I hosted one of my parents when I got my own place (with DH). It was awkward. Talk about a role reversal! Lol!
@LoveInDC oy to the passive aggressive family. DH deals with it from his family alllll theeeeee tiiiiiiime. It's super annoying.
@KariAnn323 boo on the pink eye but hopefully he's still up for some humpty dance time!
@flashley-2 an easy day and a night away sound wonderful! Enjoy!
@Stargazer1lily fx those CH stay this time!!
@SoraLk boo for CD 1/2
@labgrand2012 yay for a nice dinner with family and friends!
@heatherdubrow a trip to the beach sounds lovely. Enjoy your weekend!
@JJMNO1616 I'm a weirdo and I love painting. Hopefully it's painless and you guys can get it done quick!
@Sailing_Mama fx for this weekend!
@lund fx for timing! And enjoy your lazy weekend alone!

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, tracking CM, teas (green and RRL), pomegranate juice, starting progesterone after O, soon starts the HIO.
R/R: it's Friday! And I get to go with my lab to an escape room at 2 today! Everyone's wanting to be in my team this time because I rocked it the last time we went. Pressure's on! I tried to drop off my prescription for progesterone at Walgreens yesterday, but apparently you have to take it to a specialty pharmacy to get it compounded? Wasn't aware. But there's one a few blocks from where I work, so planning to take a nice walk today!
CS/Q: nothing other than to note that it looks like my temps are much more consistent than back when I started temping before TTC. Hoping that's my body getting it's crap together and maybe I'll see some more consistent cycle lengths? Who knows.
GTKY: unfortunately I'm not much of a bucket list kind of person. Most of my vacations and adventures have been the brainchild if someone else, and I'm happy to do it that way. I do really want to go to South Korea and Japan someday though.

@KariAnn323 Not pink eye! Throw on an eye patch and get down to business lol
@flashley-2 I’d love to come up there! I think I’d really enjoy Canada. I just have to do it! Enjoy your night away with YF
@SoraLK Hugs for AF and sleepy Fridays
@labgrand2012 Enjoy your time with friends away from your jerk builder. TGIF!
@heatherdubrow Hey pretty lady I’m totally jealous of your (maybe) beach day! Enjoy some R&R time for yourself.
@JJMNO1616 Eeeep! Getting so close to the move! I’m excited for you AFM, there were a lot of things that got in the way of Mother’s Day. The irony is, I already talked to my mom about this and about rescheduling. My aunt had no idea and decided to jump in with the guilt trip anyway.
@Sailing_Mama Pre-guilting is what my family does unfortunately. I was able to talk her back down, but my family is just too crazy to ever remember their place. I’ve had these conversations way too many times. You just learn to accept that it’s going to happen. It sounds like you have an awesome Friday in store Enjoy it!
@lund Yay for morning quickies! And you’re assuming my mother is an adult and not a codependent child (which she totally is). In my family’s mind, my mother’s over attachment is not the problem. The problem is that my sister and I don’t pacify her by calling her enough or revolving our lives around her. It’s a whole mess. They’ll never be happy.
@Redpuma119 Congrats on getting in to see the RE so early! It’s sounds like you’re off to a great start
@mschanadlerbong1214 Yay for YH coming home! Enjoy that time together
@icecubeinthedesert I love escape rooms! Kill it Hugs for the upcoming holiday. Some days just inherently suck.
@lund Glad to hear you could make up for it this morning and have all the bases covered this cycle!
@Redpuma119 Wow so glad to hear you got in that quickly to see the RE! Also really happy to hear that your H is on board now.
@mschanandlerbong1214 Yay for your DH coming home!!
@icecubeinthedesert Hope you have fun today!!
@flashley-2, I'm still so jealous you get to pet doggies all day. Though I bet you get some real pains in the butt too.
@soralk, sorry about CD1.
@labgrand2012, lol, love your champagne goal!
@heatherdubrow, glad to see you back posting here (though of course not that you're back in general). Enjoy the nice day! It's a rare crappy day here in AZ, so I'm jealous!
@JJMNO1616, that's so exciting! It's nice that you had some time to overlap and get the painting done before you have to move all your stuff. We had about 3 weeks, but it was about a 45 min drive between them, and with the dog it was difficult.
@lund, omg nut butter!
@Redpuma119, glad you're getting in soon to the RE! Hope that's the help you need.
@mschanandlerbong1214, fwiw, I see the same thing as @lund.

@LoveInDC ugh that sucks that your aunt was being passive aggressive. I'm sure your mom will appreciate a phone call and hopefully understand if you can't see her.
@KariAnn323 that sucks about the pink eye! Hope you don't get it also, that stuff is so contagious.
@flashley-2 a night away sounds great, where are you going? Hope you have a great time!
@SoraLk sorry about AF and the lack of sleep.
@labgrand2012 I can't imagine how much work goes into building/designing your own house and having a jerk of a builder must make it so much more stressful. I hope everything works out!
@heatherdubrow so nice to see you back in the dailies! Very excited for your FET!
@JJMNO1616 ooh an African safari sounds amazing!
@lund yay for a morning quickie! And lol at nut butter.

@KariAnn323 hope the pink eye doesn't interfere! Really liking all the travel for bucket list so far
@JJMNO1616 hope the painting goes well!
@Sailing_Mama @mschanandlerbong1214 @jennycolada we are doing a nail/string art thing with flowers. I'll try to post a pic later if I remember!
@icecubeinthedesert usually the husband's also get together and joke that we're having a craft night and then they do a craft beer night, but we'll enjoy a couple drinks too
Also I thought of another r/r: I was SUPPOSED to go to a Beer and Burger fest with my bff tomorrow. I bought my ticket voucher on Groupon, and I THOUGHT that like "reserved" a ticket for me. Nope. I go to to redeem the voucher for a ticket on their online system and SOLD OUT. ARG. I'm SO upset with myself. Why did I wait until the day before to redeem?! Why didn't I do it 4 days ago when I bought the stinking Groupon. UGH.
But I guess in a silver lining that gives me more time to HIO with DH.

@heatherdubrow Hope you enjoyed the beach! It has been so windy here being outside has been miserable even with the perfect temps.
@jjmno1616 Good luck with the painting and moving! Sounds like work but so exciting!
@Sailing_Mama I can relate to the BSC, it is crazy that every month I can come up with a BSC reason that month would be perfect. But hope you enjoy YH birthday and the weekend!
@lund way to go getting in a quickie! It always feels like a win when you slide one extra BD under the wire.
@Redpuma119 Hope the HSG went smoothly! We met with our RE this week too, and I always feel like it is a whirlwind for a few days following with all the tests and appointments. And Dubai is fun! Hope you make it there soon!
@mschanandlerbong1214 Yay for YH’s homecoming!
@icecubeinthedesert That is interesting regarding the progesterone, I just picked mine up from CVS, must be a different kind. My company did an escape room last week, hope you had fun with your team!
@purplg8r FX your parents' visit goes well and isn't too stressful
@LoveInDC My fingers are crossed so hard for you this cycle. I keep thinking positive for you and that you'll get your temp rise. Also all I can think about with DH putting on an eye patch is:
