What is something you like to do the old fashioned way?
Re: Saturday WTO
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, CM, RRL
R/R: Got most of our master bedroom painted last night just have to finish the trim and then move onto the guest bedroom. Feel pretty confident we will be done with all the painting this weekend.
CS/Q: Nothing today.
What is something you like to do the old fashioned way? Meh, I don't think I do too many things the old fashioned way except maybe my "life plan". It was always really important to me to get married before having kids but other then that I'm very non-traditional. I also really looked for chivalry in a realationship while dating. Which is why my DH totally won me over just by opening my car door!
CD: 37
WAYDTGKU: benched, PNVs, CoQ10
R/R: my parents decided it was too hot for Epcot so we went to dinner at Black Rick which is where they bring out steaks and you cook them on this black rock heated to 775 degrees to the temp you like. The appetizer and steaks were good but that's about it. The bartender before we got seated forgot to enter our appetizer so we didn't get it. There were big chips in all the salad plates. The Caesar salad was gross. And H was drinking his beer and spit out this string that had somehow ended up in his glass. Needless to say that we won't be going back there. We're headed to breakfast with my parents now & then H and I are headed to a birthday party at Epcot where we get to sit in a roped off viewing location for dinner, desserts, & fireworks!
CS/Q:
What is something you like to do the old fashioned way? Read. I have a Nook by I never use it. I'm a huge bookworm and love the feeling of holding a book in my hands.
CD: No clue
WAYDTGKU: Currently on BCP for my FET
R/R: Started BCPs yesterday so I'm excited to get everything going!
Planning on going to barre today which is always great!
CS/Q:
What is something you like to do the old fashioned way?
I can't even think of anything...
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: charting, BBT, HIO EOD during FW (starting today!), green tea/pomegranate juice before O, pineapple after O, cutting back on alcohol/caffeine for both me and MH
R/R: Had a good time at craft night last night! Here's a pic of the finished product for those that asked yesterday (sorry it's huge!):
CS/Q: Nope
What is something you like to do the old fashioned way?
I still really like to send cards in the mail for birthdays and anniversaries if I can remember.
@JJMNO1616 what color did you paint your bedroom?
@purplg8r Sorry you didn't have the best dinner experience.
@heatherdubrow Nice to have you back here, enjoy barre!
CD 13 or 14 idk
WAYDTGKU Waiting for some CM to show up and a +OPK then do the sex
R/R Looking forward to my friends fundraising spaghetti dinner tonight. Give me all the carbs IDGAF

GTKY Like @purplg8r I love reading books and going to the library and getting a whole bag of new ones to take home and devour. I also pay 90% of our bills by check

@purplg8r That's really disappointing about the restaurant. It sounds so cool! Have fun at Epcot tonight

@sjb2215 Those are adorable!
@RVAmom515 Mmmm carbs! (As I'm sitting here eating bread pudding for breakfast

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, BBT, CM, Progesterone after O, Per DH - The Teamwork Triangle (me, him, and the dog looking at us in disgust)
R/R: So many happy things today. EWCM last night and darkening OPKs. Realized this morning that the furnace wasn't working. Someone was able to come out right away and it was a relatively cheap fix ($111 to clean a sensor). The dog usually snuggles with DH but she's been attached to my hip all morning since I was curled up in blankets. Going and seeing my friend in her play tonight.
CS/Q:
What is something you like to do the old fashioned way?
Making brownies. I know there's the box mixes, but I always pick up baker's unsweetened chocolate and make their one bowl brownies recipe.

@sjb2215 We painted it a light silver grey. I would post a pic but the App still won't let me post pics/gifs!
@heatherdubrow Glad to hear things are moving forward!
@RVAmom315 Have fun at the fundraising event!
@KariAnn323 Yay for EWCM!
@purplg8r I agree with the Nook! I have a Kindle and I've used it maybe twice.
@sjb2215 That looks so cool! Great job!
M/C: 1/1

WAYDTGKU: Well we're not DTD, that's for sure. Insert big eye roll here. If DH doesn't get it in this weekend I'm going to actually be really annoyed with him. I got my PNVs in that I ordered yesterday, so took those for the first time last night, also ordered some RRL tea (I love tea anyway, so I'll be excited to drink this for my next cycle).
R/R: See WAYDTGKU.
CS/Q: None.
What is something you like to do the old fashioned way? I'm kind of with @KariAnn323 with the baking/cooking. DH is the same way, and we cook using a lot of classic French techniques. It's fine, and I enjoy doing it since you don't often see it much anymore.

@purplg8r That dinner sounds like a disaster! Hopefully today goes a lot better
@heatherdubrow Good for you for making it to barre on a Saturday morning!
@sjb2215 Wow - those turned out really great! They're so cute!
@RVAmom315 Love the idea of a spaghetti dinner fundraiser! Have fun!
@KariAnn323 Love 'the teamwork triangle' - our dog also has a thing for watching, but he likes to try to encroach on extra bed space and then looks at us like, 'what? I'm just trying to sleep here!'
@JennyColada Sorry your H isn't pulling his weight
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: PNV, herbal tincture, myo-inositol, teas (green and raspberry leaf), EPO, CoQ10, essential oils, acupuncture, BBT/CM/CP charting, OPKs
R/R: I totally didn't drink enough water after the steam room at the gym and let myself get dehydrated, so woke up with a bad headache this morning. But, that meant DH made the coffee and got me a hot water bottle, so just feeling pampered helps make it better!
CS/Q: I had a significant temp spike today, but yesterday my OPK was close but not quite positive and CM was watery but not EW. However, we didn't sleep well last night (dog was sick) and I'd had two glasses of wine which normally wouldn't affect my temps, but being dehydrated, maybe it would. Now I don't know if it was O or not, so just going to keep HIO, but was wondering if anyone else finds dehydration affects their temps? It was a jump of almost 0.6
What is something you like to do the old fashioned way? Making bread - I refuse to ever use a bread maker. I love all of the steps, from proofing the yeast, to kneading the dough, to the smell of it when I'm shaping the loaf.
@heatherdubrow do you have to be flexible & graceful for barre class? I've always wanted to try a class but I'm neither of those.
@sjb2215 your craft is pretty!
@RVAmom315 have fun tonight!!
@KariAnn323 what play is your friend ?

R/R: My allergies are killing me even though it's cold and raining.
CS/Q: nope.
GTKY: This question is hard! Umm... I'm stealong @sjb2215 's answer. I do really love sending out birthday and Christmas cards in the mail!
@JJMNO1616 - Yay for getting your painting done! I feel like I don't do many things the old-fashioned way, either!
@purplg8r - Wow, that sucks about the restaurant! But yay for fireworks at Epcot! I wanna go back sooo bad! I, too, really love holding an actual book, but I hate clutter more, so I made the switch to e-reading.
@heatherdubrow - I'm so excited that your getting started on a new cycle!
@sjb2215 - Those are adorable! Have fun HIO today! ;-)
@RVAmom515 - Eat the carbs and do the sex!
@KariAnn323 - Our dogs also do not approve of our HIO sessions! We have one cat that will jump on the bed sometimes, so we usually shut the door because I think he does it intentionally.
@JennyColada - I would only move over to TWW if you are really sure you ovulated, otherwise you'll be in TWW for longer than two weeks and it gets awkward. I've been there. Oops.
@Sailing_mama - I hope that your temps start making sense soon! I hate it when it goes wonky after drinking/dehydration/poor sleep.

@heatherdubrow I'll have to check it out!
@purplg8r sorry your dinner was kind of crappy. I hate when that happens. Hopefully you had a good breakfast!
@heatherdubrow I'm so excited for you!
@KariAnn323 glad you were able to get your furnace fixed!
@Sailing_Mama I hate dehydrated morning headaches. I hope it got better!

CD: F'in 1
WAYDTGKU: Not a damn thing
R/R: The progesterone I was taking extended my LP by 2 days so I went BSC and thought I was a SS. Um no. But I got a lot of yard work done today and I have a half pint of ice cream in the freezer calling my name.
CS/Q: I have a cold so I'll start temping again after I can breath better.
What is something you like to do the old fashioned way?
I'm not sure it's old fashioned but I don't like using my phone calendar so I have a book. I have the Happy Planner and I love just writing everything down. It really does make me happy.
Oh I also like to mail out hand written thank you notes.
@Sailing_Mama I can be so bad at remembering to drink water. I know it helps with CM as well. Aren't steam rooms the best. It was why I chose one gym over the other.
@KariAnn323 anytime our dog chooses me over the husband I cherish it. She really favors him even though I raised her from 2 weeks old.. One or two times SHE got jealous while we were HIO, and pooped.. total mood killer, but we can't stay mad at her. Other than those two incidences, she's wonderful, and will a be a wonderful 'big sister' if we ever do get pregnant. She is a gentle soul.
M/C: 7/6?
CD: 15?
WAYDTGKU: Well, probably hio the next few days (I totally didn't temp like I said I was going too.)PNV, and CM - it's getting EWCM-y.
R/R: I saw the most horrible version of Jesus Christ superstar. It was community theater The music and Ensemble were great.. Judas was terrible (cannot sing whatsoever) and Jesus had the onstage chemistry of a dead fish, and no fire or passion.
CS/Q:
What is something you like to do the old fashioned way? Lose weight.. I am losing now doing Calories in vs Calories out. It's simple, you don't have to give anything up, and if you want extra indulgences, you just need to go for a good walk or to the gym. I am on a water aerobics kick at the moment. No trends or fads.. just good old fashioned monitoring.

What is something you like to do the old fashioned way?
Baking from scratch. I have a few items on my want to conquer list (Angel Food cake, macaroons)
@mispanda sorry about cd1 and the fake out. Progesterone is the horrible trickster.
@pebbledam Hope your allergies get better!
@Sailing_Mama FX for O and I agree baking bread is amazing!
@JennyColada have you tried making macaroons? It is on my list to accomplish, and you mentioned French and baking so it is the first thing that came to mind. Sorry YH isn't quite on board with all this yet. I think TTC is more complicated than 5th grade health class taught us and sometimes the guys are in the dark longer about it all. There is a good flow chart from lund going around that helps explain things to your SO in a funny simple way
@sjb2215 Way to go with the crafts! Looks like so much fun!
@KariAnn323 I am making brownies next week, I will give that recipe a try!
@purplg8r ugh, bad dining experiences are no fun. Hope tonights was much better!
@RVAmom315 Spaghetti dinner sounds awesome!
@JJMNO1616 Happy to hear the painting is going so well! Good luck with the move to@mispanda
@heatherdubrow You mentioned barre earlier this week too, is that your go to workout? Do you pair it with anything else?

@BoshnJonnie I can't believe you mention your dog getting jealous! We literally just had a jealous dog yesterday during our DTD time. Luckily no poop. We'd be kissing and the dog would stick his little doggy face right in the middle of us. It was cute, so we took a puppy break before shoo-ing him off and getting back to business.
