justkeepswimming8 · May 2017

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 14/1

Timing: -5, -4, -2, -1

Testing: Probably not until AF is missed (expected AF on the 5th)

R/R: I mowed the lawn yesterday for DH so that I could get some extra time with him to watch The Leftovers and The Bachelorette. I didn’t tell him so that he would come home from work assuming he needed to squeeze in a mowing session. He was pleasantly surprised when he got home. But I’m so sore and my back is killing me. Mowing is hard and weed whacking is harder! Good work out though lol

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is something you have to do/have every day? There are these caffeine drink mixes from Kroger and I have to have one of those every day. I crave them as soon as I wake up. I prefer it with ice but technically you’re supposed to put it in a water bottle. I’ll have it both ways but more satisfying over ice.

petethecat · May 2017

@justkeepswimming8 You are a better wife than I- mowing for YH like that. That was sweet and awesome of you! I hate mowing. I'm excited to watch the Bachelorette tonight! We don't have cable because we've just been watching smart TV channels since we've moved. So, I have to catch it on Hulu.

Month/Cycle: 3/2 (1AL)

CD/DPO: 21/4

Timing: O

Testing: maybe

R/R: I didn't temp this morning because my mabis mysteriously disappeared from my nightstand and is nowhere to be found. I'll have to try a little harder to find it later today. Meh.
Rave- My dad is coming to town this afternoon to look at another house. It's new construction, so I'm hoping that will alleviate any of the hidden issues that he found on the last house's home inspection.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is something you have to do/have every day?
I'm not too picky about my daily routine. Getting a shower is my baseline these days.

Amphibious22 · May 2017

Month/Cycle: 17/17

CD/DPO: 25/5

Timing: -4,-2,O,+1

Testing: after AF is due

R/R: My life is not that exciting right now to have a rant or a rave. I guess I can rave about the fact that I killed it at boot camp yesterday and cooked dinner at home! So big win health wise.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is something you have to do/have every day? I'm with @kbamomma33 I don't really have a specific daily routine. The only thing I do every day is walk the dogs. But that's more of a I have to for them not for me. I used to need to eat something sweet after dinner, but I'm getting past that.

doxiemoxie212 · May 2017

Month/Cycle: 1/1 AL

CD/DPO: 22/5

Timing: all the days

Testing: no

R/R: nothing really to report

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is something you have to do/have every day? skincare routine

Pinky917 · May 2017

@justkeepswimming8 I never even touched a lawn mower until we moved to our current house and got a ride on. Now I just throw on some headphones and use that time as some time to myself to think and unwind. However, the last time I wanted to surprise DH by taking care of the mowing while he was gone he ended up getting home way sooner than I had expected and totally caught me rocking out to some nsync. I have yet to live that one down...

Month/Cycle: 12/13

CD/DPO: 26/13

Timing: -3, -2, 0

Testing: Nope, none of that...

R/R: I have been very bad at bumping lately. I just have been having a really hard time keeping up the motivation to keep posting in the dailies. However, I have my first RE appointment tomorrow, and so I am now starting to feel a little more hopeful about all of this than I have in a while now. While I am slightly terrified of what they may find/how much this all may cost (eek!!), I am really excited to finally feel like I am moving forward.

CS/Q: --

GTKY: What is something you have to do/have every day? I have to have my coffee in the morning. I am a miserable B without it. So much so that DH actually surprised me with this shirt a few months back

pebbledam · May 2017

@justkeepswimming8 - What flavor are these caffeine mixes? In my mind, they are coffee flavored.
@kbamomma33 - That happened to me on Sunday! I'm pretty sure one of the cats knocked the thermometer off the nightstand.
@Amphibious22 - Awesome job with boot camp eating healthy! I need to do more of that!

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD/DPO: 33/FF moved my CHs

Timing: either bad or not at all

Testing: no

R/R: I upgraded to VIP FF. I'm a little too excited about that. I only bought the 90-day upgrade because I'll totes be KTFU by then, right?

CS/Q: not right now, i'm playing around with FF and gearing up for cycle 5 since this one is a bust.

GTKY: Diet sunkist when I first get to work.....

looeeze · May 2017

@justkeepswimming8 I LOVE THE LEFTOVERS I could talk about it for hours
@kbamomma33 showers are overrated

@Amphibious22 I've been eating prunes in place of other sweets. They are sickly sweet!

Month/Cycle: 7/5

CD/DPO: 27/12

Timing: -4, -2, -1, 0

Testing: no but I am def getting tempted even though I KNOW i'm not

R/R: Rave: The Leftovers is so good! Rant: Yesterday at a work meeting my credentials got completely erased by a male consultant. I am an expert in MYFIELD and had mentioned the need to include information from MYFIELD in a plan we were writing. The consultant (who should know my credentials-- maybe he tuned them out) looked right at me and said "you're right. We should get a MYFIELD person in here for the next meeting to talk about it." I almost punched him.

CS/Q: Any tips for using FF? I admit, I feel intimidated by it. I did the tutorial and still feel a little lost.

GTKY: What is something you have to do/have every day? I must must must do the NYTimes crossword puzzle every morning with my coffee/tea.

Pinky917 · May 2017

@looeeze Is there anything in particular you are unsure about? FF is good in that it really does the work for you, so all you have to do is input your information. Trying to interpret your chart can be a little tricky sometimes, but you will start to get the hang of things the more you do it. I am definitely not a FF expert, but I can try to answer any questions you may have, or at least try to direct to someone who knows more

Mythril · May 2017

Month/Cycle: 17/13

CD/DPO: 27/5

Timing: -1, 0

Testing: 30th

R/R: I have no symptoms. Last cycle (my first ovulatory at least with a decent luteal phase) I had ALL the symptoms. Bodies are so weird. Aside from a little bit of pain on my left side (side I ovulated from) and a little bit of bloating and central pelvic fullness/cramping. Which I don't consider symptoms at all.

I guess it's good, can't symptom spot if there aren't any symptoms to spot.

CS/Q: My temps are up. It was a relief. They're up HIGH.

GTKY: Temp. Guys. That was an easy answer. XD

mispanda · May 2017

@justkeepswimming8 good job on the lawn mowing! My DH will never let me do it. He thinks I'm going to break something lol.
@Pinky917 that shirt is funny but I'm not sure I would be happy with my DH if he got that for me.

Month/Cycle: 14/13

CD/DPO: 25/10

Timing: I don't think it matters anymore

Testing: Cramps and spotting tell me it's not needed but I'll test tomorrow.

R/R: If this cycle isn't successful then I have one more cycle before we start a medicated cycle. I'm not sure if I'm excited, sad, or nervous

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: What is something you have to do/have every day?
I have 6oz of coffee every morning. Yes I measure how much coffee I drink to limit caffeine.

vflux33 · May 2017

**lurking from WTO**

@justkeepswimming8 @looeezeFinally others here who watch Leftovers! I mentioned it in the randoms a few weeks ago and no one bit so I thought I was all alone. That episode was pretty intense (though I guess they all are). MH and I laughed our asses off when we heard Gravediggaz in the title sequence.

looeeze · May 2017

@Pinky917 nothing specifically, really. Maybe anything that took you a while to figure out? For example, I just entered in all my data from my Flo App for the next few months, and every time I entered in a new cycle, it would take me back to the non-data-enter page.

Pinky917 · May 2017

@looeeze I think I may be a little confused by what you were trying to enter. What exactly do you mean by all your data for the next few months? Usually FF will not let you enter future cycles, and all estimates are based off of what has already been entered.

looeeze · May 2017

@Pinky917 Oh dumb me. I said next few months, I meant last few months. Jan-April 2017.

Whoops.

Pinky917 · May 2017

@looeeze Ok, that makes more sense! I know that I ended up having to do that from an actually computer rather than just mobile. On the website I found an option that was "Mass Data Entry", and I used that to put in all of my past cycles before I started temping. I guess there could be an easier way to do it, but if there is I don't know it

kymirandar · May 2017

Month/Cycle: 4/3 I think I put that right

CD/DPO: 26/7

Timing: -4, -3,-1

Testing: by Monday if I can hod out that long.

R/R: Rant: I feel hugely bloated and just blah. Crampy, back hurts and stomach issues. Rave: although for unfortunate reasons we are taking an emergency trip to Destin this weekend as my GIL is very ill... positive we can go to the beach while there!

CS/Q: FF giving me a dip today with my temp fx its an implantation dip. Not getting my hopes up but these are my highest temps.

GTKY: What is something you have to do/have every day? Coffee, a phone call with my Momma and say prayer with my son each morning and night.

kymirandar · May 2017

Same here ladies. I'm still learning!

bswishe4 · May 2017

Month/Cycle: 16/14

CD/DPO: 23/11

Timing: 0

Testing: I keep looking at the test daily but haven't broke down yet. Trying to hold out unless I am late

R/R: We pretty much have one shot this cycle. It was one of our most active months but not around O time

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: What is something you have to do/have every day? Have some down time at night. When I am done for the day I need like 30 minutes at least to watch a show or read or just something top wind down.

justkeepswimming8 · May 2017

@kbamomma33 – there were selfish reasons behind my mowing as well lol we don’t have cable either but we do have an antenna that gets the main channels. They are super cheap on Amazon if you want to watch live T.V. (CBS, ABC, NBC, etc). FX that the house your dad is looking at today works for him!

@amphibious22 – good job at boot camp and cooking dinner! If you’ve read in the healthy habits, I crave ice cream after salad because of childhood habits, it’s a struggle for me as well. GL!

@pinky917 – oh man a ride on sounds so good. We just don’t have a large enough yard to warrant one. I had my Ipod blasting the whole time too! That’s so funny that your DH caught you rocking out to Nsync! GL tomorrow at your RE appointment. Keep us updated! FX for good things!

@pebbledam – haha it’s wildberry. It’s a really good refreshing flavor for the morning. I like iced coffee as an alternative if I am out though. Do you think VIP FF is worth it? I was thinking of getting it if this cycle is a bust. I miss FF showing all my specifics (like cramps, exercise, etc).

@looeeze and @vflux33 – loving this season of The Leftovers!

POSSIBLE SPOILER

*I’m really excited about next week because it looks like he’s going back to the hotel which I loved those episodes last season.*

Also Justin Theroux? Sexy! Please show me more of his butt! LOL

@vflux33, I must have missed that mention in the weekly! I def will talk about it with you and @looeeze. The title sequence was pretty accurate for this episode. Do you listen to the podcast called Post Show Recaps? They do a Leftovers recap show and they talk a lot about the music.

@mythril – ugh why do our bodies do this type of stuff to us! I feel like things are different every month for me and then I get excited and nothing.

@mispanda – so sorry about the cramping and spotting. FX it’s not actually AF!

@miranda&MichaelR – FX the dip is a good reason!

@bswishe4 – stay strong!

vflux33 · May 2017

@justkeepswimming8 I have been watching the post show character profile thingies on HBOGO, but haven't heard of the podcast. Will have to check it out!

Have you seen Preacher yet? Very different vibe, but definitely has this weird religious undertone good/evil thing going on. Season 1 is on Hulu.

looeeze · May 2017

@justkeepswimming8 @vflux33 I don't know what the appropriate thread/msg platform is to talk about The Leftovers but I have been dying to have a deep discussion about it with someone besides my husband! I can't figure out how to do the spoiler thing or I'd just give you my theory on last week's episode.

vflux33 · May 2017

@looeeze I want to hear your theory! You could either start a PM with both me and @justkeepswimming8 OR to do a spoiler box you highlight what you want in the box, click the paragraph button, and scroll down to "spoiler". It will look like it's in gray in the typing field but once you "post reply" it will be in a spoiler

justkeepswimming8 · May 2017

@vflux33 - I haven't heard of Preacher but I'm always looking for good new series to watch. I'll give that a go tomorrow! Thanks for the recommendation!

pebbledam · May 2017

@looeeze - Honestly, I use both Ovia and FF at the same time and I'm glad that's how I started out. Ovia is user-friendly, but not as advanced. For FF, I would just start by putting in data and keep doing it. It will make more sense the more you use it.
@Pinky917 - I love that YH got you that shirt.
@mispanda - I'm sure you are all three: excited, sad, AND nervous.
@Miranda&MichaelR - The ampersand in your name will make it hard to tag you. TB is dumb like that.
@bswishe4 - I always tell myself that one shot is better than none. MH and I have a hard time during FW.
@justkeepswimming8 - FF offered the 90 day VIP for $16 today, so I decided to go for it since I was already thinking about it. Now that I have a few cycles in there, I'm hoping I'll be able to narrow down FW a little better. I really liked some of the VIP features in the trial phase.

hedgepig · May 2017

@vflux33 Is the Hulu series Preacher based on the comic series of the same name? I loved the comics, but don't watch much TV, so I hadn't heard of a show...

doxiemoxie212 · May 2017

@hedgepig I'll jump in on that - yes, yes it is. I know this because DH is obsessed with the comics and also with the TV show and will not shut up about it.

vflux33 · May 2017

@hedgepig Yes it is based on the comic. I'm not a big comics person so I haven't read them, but I heard they were good. It'll probably be even more enjoyable for you if you were into the comic. I honestly wasn't sure how much I liked it at first, but I was hooked by about mid season. And season 2 starts I think in June.

hedgepig · May 2017

@doxiemoxie212 @vflux33 I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the recommendation

kymirandar · May 2017

I love those mixes and have them in all flavors!

kymirandar · May 2017

I changed it on the knot, let me know if you can tag me now. It's even causing me problems posting
