R/R: I had my follicle check this morning. I was watching as the tech did the ultrasound and it looked like there were three on either side. My lining looked thin though so I'm wondering if they'll prescribe progesterone. They're going to call later to tell me when to trigger but it looks like the IUI will probably be tomorrow.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all? Shirts by sleeve length (tank tops, then short sleeves, then three quarter sleeves, then long sleeves), then pants by style (jeans then leggings then shorts) and then a separate area for fancy shirts/dresses.

@shortstack930 good luck with IUI tomorrow if it happens! I love your organization skills-is it hard to keep up with or habit?
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, BBT, OPK
R/R: Based on my apps, I should have O but OPKs are no. I'm usually 27-28 days/ cycle but,this is my first cycle TTC, not sure how reliable even though I've been tracking for a bit.
CS/Q:
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all? Try to organize tops by style (work vs non), then sleeve length, then color. Pants the same way then dresses and blazers. Usually by laundry day I just hang things wherever.
@shortstack930 Keep us posted on what they say - keeping my FX for you!!
@Stargazer1lily I'll be getting the same BW as soon as I get onto my next cycle - FX we both get some answers
@olive_lane O can get delayed for a lot of reasons, and you're only at CD15 - so just keep HIO . What apps do you use? FF is pretty good at adjusting FW based on history, but it still gets thrown off when things get too irregular
Month/Cycle: 7/6
CD: 51
WAYDTGKU: Waiting it out right now, although still taking all my supplements. Except EPO, my naturopath had me stop that, as she said it might be contributing to me not turning an OPK the past couple of cycles. Starting BW when I finally get AF.
R/R: Well, it's CD51. I'm headed home for my dad's surgery, and last night the naturopath said that this long cycle is normal in stressful situations. She'll still kick start my period if I don't get it (or O) in the next 10-14 days though, which is a bit of a relief.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all? Well - we're minimalists, so my wardrobe actually fits in a plastic tub. I keep my work pants/dresses together, tops together, and then socks/underwear/gym clothes together.
@Sailing_Mama thanks for the encouragement- FX for your BW and some answers! Sorry to hear about your dad and the stress from that- is he doing okay post-surgery? I just started using FF but have been tracking with Glow since January.
@shortstack930 So exciting, FX for you! Let us know how the call goes!
@olive_lane sailing_mama is right, O can be delayed for many reasons. for the last 7 months I've alternated from a 30+ day cycle to a 26 day cycle, always 26, well this cycle should've been a 26 day cycle and here I am at CD 21 still waiting on CH. all of that is to say, Don't give up just yet! Keeping Hio and using those opks. GL.
@Sailing_Mama I hope you get some answers soon. Sending well wishes your way. I hope your dad's surgery is uneventful.
Month/Cycle: 8
CD: 21 just waiting on those CH
WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt, cm, opks, hio-eod and i'm sure some other things I'm forgetting
R/R: it's raining and after 3 days off, I'm not feeling work. Had a nice weekend with the DH. Last one where we have no plans, every weekend in June is booked.
CS/Q: FX for high temp tomorrow. chart link in siggy if you have any thoughts or if you're bored.
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all? I have it split into sections, work attire, outside of work, and then shoved to the side- winter. I keep my pants and dresses on a different bar where they can hang without being folded. My jeans and shorts are in drawers in the closet.
TTC#1 10/2016 TTC/IF:included medicated cycles, IUIs and 2 rounds of IVF with 1 embryo each. BFP finally in 12/2018

"Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks, some doors are open, some roads are blocked"
@Stargazer1lily Do you have an appt for the bloodwork yet? I hope that you get some answers too. Hugs.
@Sailing_Mama I really hope that everything goes well with your dad's surgery. I hope that you'll keep us posted on everything as well. I'm so sorry that everything has you stressing so much and that's prolonging your cycle. Thinking of you and your family.
Month/Cycle: 3/3 (2AL)
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, CM, adding green tea for CM and B6 for LP this cycle, and obvs HIO
R/R: It's CD1 and I'm not too happy that my LP was only 9 days this past cycle.
CS/Q:
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all? Dresses hanging together, then long skirts, short dressy skirts, lighter long sleeved tops, heavier long sleeved tops, cardigans, sweaters, sweatshirts folded on a shelf, and jeans and dress pants on an adjacent rack.
@Stargazer1lily I hope the bloodwork will give you some answers! @olive_lane it's become habit by now but I'm a bit of a neat freak! @Sailing_Mama sorry you're having a rough cycle but I'm glad you have a plan moving forward. @Avrilmai glad you had a nice weekend! @kbamomma33 sorry for CD 1!

Hi everyone! I’ve gotten pretty overwhelmed by TTGP lately,
so I’ve been posting less. But I’m starting a medicated cycle and I’m actually
WTO for once, so I thought I’d try checking in here again.
Month/Cycle: 7/5
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: HIO EOD, Clomid, tracking BBT and CM, PNV, paleo,
daily yoga
R/R: The long weekend turned out great. We got to spend a
lot of time with friends we haven’t seen in a while. I’m in talks with a
potential new employer which feels promising. Right now is sort of the calm
before the (potential) storm, so we will see.
CS/Q:
GTKY: I hang my work clothing and fold my casual attire. Shirts
go by color, then sleeve length. Pants go by length/style, then by color.
@olive_lane Have you been monitoring BBT or OPKs before this
cycle? It’s possible the app you were using just stuck O on CD14/15 without the
temps or OPKs to confirm. I’m sure you’ve heard we prefer FF around here, and
you’re always welcome to request a CS if things aren’t making sense to you.
There are also people who don’t turn OPKs, so that’s a possibility. That’s why
it’s important to consider all your signs to really pinpoint O. Good luck!
@Sailing_Mama Hey lady! What the heck are you still doing
here!? Not cool. I’m glad the end is in sight for this cycle and BW is right
around the corner. Hugs and positive thoughts for your dad
@Avrilmai Hey girly! FX those CHs show ASAP and you can leave
here for good. Working after a long weekend is the worst, but I’m glad you got
to enjoy some time with YH.
@kbamomma33 Hugs for CD1 and double hugs for a short LP
Have all the wine today.
@Dilynne It sounds like you’re in for a crazy weekend! Can’t
wait to hear all about it

R/R: Two more days until my DH is home! Still hoping O holds off until CD15 but I never had hopes for this cycle anyway. Real weird though... my temp plummeted this morning. It was hovering around 97.5 and then this morning it went down to 97.20. Don't know what that is about but whateves.
CS/Q: Just waiting to see what my CM is going to do this week... started getting EWCM on CD9. Hopefully it doesn't dry up before O like it did last month.
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all? I organize shirts by sleeve length and then by style (fancy, casual, ect) and then by color. I organize dresses and skirts the same way... by style then by color. I also put all of my winter clothes (long sleeve shirts, sweaters, ect) on the bottom rack and all my other shirts on the top rack. My pants all go into my dresser and I have those divided by work pants or jeans/casual. Shorts have their own drawer. My closest never stays this way very long but I try to reorganize as much as possible or I lose/forget about things I have. lol Obviously I'm NOT a minimalist like @Sailing_Mama
@shortstack930 Yay for the IUI! Hope things move forward tomorrow!
@olive_lane Have you been tracking BBT for awhile? Like the previous posters mentioned, your I day can change month to month. Mine has moved up to CD14 from CD17 the first month I was tracking.
@Sailing_Mama Thinking of you and your dad. @Avrilmai I feel you! June and July are crazy busy months for us too.
@kbamomma33 Ugh, sorry about CD1 and the short LP. Maybe consider RRL tea?
@Dilynne Wow Your weekend sounds like a busy few days. Hope you have fun with the girls!
@Dilynne you are a saint for that camp trip-good luck!
@LoveInDC sorry to hear you are feeling overwhelmed but glad you decided to check in, it's lovely to meet you! It's my first cycle using BBT and OPKs but I have done CM and Cervical changs since January. CM is starting to dry up now- I think I just want to understand what I'm doing and I've either read too much or not enough lol. I appreciate your note.
@JJMNO1616 I hope your hubby gets home while you EWCM is still around! Good luck!
@Dilynne You are a saint to do that for thatmany girls that age! What kind of camp is it?
@LoveInDC Haaayyyy girl. Nice to see you in here! How are you feeling about starting a medicated cycle?
@JJMNO1616 If you are close to O, it could just be a pre-O temp dip. My temps did that like 4 days before O last cycle, then shot up for O. FX your O holds off for YH. Re: CM- I don't have a ton of it either, and almost never have EWCM. Pounding water really helped me to see more last cycle though. I'm adding more green tea this cycle too. Maybe that would help get you that fertile CM for longer? I'm going to look into RRL for LP too, as you suggested.
@olive_lane Nice to "meet" you too I hope your chart starts to make sense and your time here is short.
@kbamomma33 Hey girl! I'm riding the roller coaster of emotions these days. Yay that I'm actually WTO, but I'm super doubtful that I'll actually O let alone GKTFU (no reason why, other than bitterness). I'm obviously hopeful that everything will work out and this will be my last cycle. But at the same time, I'm trying to be realistic and not put too much stock in that hope. *shrug* I'm hoping that participating in WTO/TWW will help me feel more "in it" and invested in this cycle. But right now, I just feel detached.

@LoveInDC - Welcome back! I am excited to see how the meds work out for you. Is it Clomid you just started? FX! p.s. Is that your cat in your profile pic?
Month/Cycle: 2/2

WAYDTGKU: waiting on O... just waiting....
R/R: Sitting in my empty classroom today just organizing is pretty much bliss.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all?
HA! Our closet (because we share) is soooooo small we really can't even organize. I mean. I try. I have dresses and formal wear in one area. Then long sleeve shirts in one spot and short sleeve in another along with a section for skirts and dress pants. I really want to move to a house with a bigger closet because i can't deal with this tiny one anymore
@LoveInDC I completely understand how you would feel that way. And the roller coaster of emotions- yes. It's hard to walk that line of wanting to be positive, but still guarding your heart at the same time. I hope that you'll find some way to make it through this cycle being kind to yourself and that hanging out in the dailies ends up being something that helps you feel in it, if that is helpful to you. I'm cheering you on!
@Sailing_Mama - Sorry for all of your stress. Sending positive vibes your way for you AND your dad! @Shortstack06 GL with your IUI!!!!
Month/Cycle: 39 / 31
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: Hopefully all of the things! Going to start back with temping. Checking CM (trying to). Drinking plenty of water, being more active, losing weight, yada yada yada... oh yeah and also HIO... if I can get hubby to do it.
R/R: Well it is finally CD 1. 54 day cycle. Yeesh. I don't feel so lost anymore trying to get back into the swing of things here at TB now that I know where I stand cycle wise. Also cramps are being a bbbbiiiisssshhhhh today!
CS/Q: Nope!
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all?
I have zero organization in my closet. I am an absolute HOT MESS
@garnetandgoldgrace Just adding Clomid this cycle. We'll see if it does the trick. And the pic is a painting I did of my dog (who arguably looks like a cat) lol Original picture in the spoiler:
@shortstack930 FX you get to trigger soon! How exciting!!
@olive_lane I see that this is cycle 1 for you, so (and sorry if you have mentioned this before) have you also recently come off BC? It can take some time for your body to regulate after coming off BC, which would mess with your cycles. You are still fairly early in your cycle, so try not to worry too much and just keep at it!
@Sailing_Mama Hope all goes well with your father's surgery, and that things settle down for you soon.
@Dilynne Sounds like you definitely have an exciting weekend coming up Good luck!

R/R: Waiting on my testing has helped me to confirm that I am NOT a patient person . I just want to get this all over with already!!! Currently waiting on the rest of my CD3 blood work results, then I have my HSG and DH's SA on Friday.
CS/Q: --
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all? I always try to keep my closet better organized but it never seems to last. Right now it is separated by work clothes vs casual clothes, with some bad attempt at organization in each category. I do have one area dedicated to cardigans that helped me to realize that I may have a sweater problem...
@kbamomma33 It could be a pre O dip! I did think about that and I have noticed it do that before it's just not usually this drastic. I'm also considering adding the Green Tea next cycle if my CM dries up on me again this week before O. I'll need to get on a tea schedule though because I already drink two haha.
@LoveInDC Hey girl, glad to see you. Sorry to hear things have been overwhelming but Yay for WTO and a medicated cycle! FX clomid does the trick.
@garnetandgoldgrace Glad to hear your having a peaceful day at work after the holiday! I'm super crazy busy today. Gah!
@GrabberBlue2010 Sorry about CD 1 and the cramps. Glad you don't feel so lost anymore though and know where you stand in your cycle.
@Sailing_mama many eHugs for you and your family during your dad's surgery/recovery!
@kbamomma33 sorry on the short LP and bummer on CD1. Wine and hugs!
@GrabberBlue2010 boo cramps! They say that exercise is good for that, and to that I say "shut up, pass the wine!"
@Pinky917 lol at your impatientness. I'm the same way!

R/R: I realized that I will probably be in FW during our trip to SB. I'm unsure if that is a good thing (holiday sex!) or a bad thing (too busy/drunk for sex)
CS/Q:
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all? I keep like things together (dresses, shirts: short sleeved, t-shirt, dress shirts, etc). I'm not overly organized with it, but there is a method to my madness overall.
@kbamomma33 sorry you find yourself back here so soon with that short LP. I hope the B6 works for you. I just want to add that I think you give really great, positive feedback and while I'm sorry that you're here in TTGP at all at this point, I am glad that you are here and sharing with us. (does that make sense?)
@Dilynne wow, I don't know if I could deal with that many tweens at one time. Will you have some other adult help?
@LoveInDC I hope checking in helps with the feeling more "in it." I completely understand the battle between being hopeful and realistic. This whole process can be so overwhelming and as much as we try to rationalize there is still that glimmer of hope. Though, I think hope is a powerful thing and is an important thing to have. Good luck with the potential new employer. Would you still be able to work from home?
@JJMNO1616 FX that the temp drop means that O will hold off a little longer and YH will be back in town.
@GrabberBlue2010 glad to hear you can find the sliver lining in the CD1, if nothing else direction is always nice Do you typically have long/irregular cycles?
@Pinky917 I may have to join you in a sweater/cardigans anonymous group...I have a cardigan section too. FX you get some results soon!

@JennyColada hells to the yes!!! I want some wine SO bad. But my drive to stick to my diet and be good is winning. Sadly. Lol. And I for the love of Pete cannot figure out where SB is??
@Avrilmai thank you!! Yes unfortunately. PCOSer here. I had it under control for the most part with 32-35 dayish cycles. Not really sure what went wrong (cough-weight gain-cough). So now I'm starting over from scratch. Now averaging 54-59ish day cycles. Booo.
@LoveInDC -- LOL. From your tiny tiny tiny pic it looks like a cat. The large picture ... it's obviously a dog. haha Nice painting, btw. @Avrilmai-- our last post-planning day is tomorrow. Then it's Bye, FELICIA.
@Pinky917 No doubt that waiting on testing appointments and results is nerve wracking. I hope that Friday comes quickly for you and that you get some good information that will put you on a clear path moving forward. Keep us posted on results and stuff! Thinking of you this week!
@JennyColada haaayyyy slightly drunk slutty hotel room vacation sex haaayyyyyyyyy
@Avrilmai Aw, thanks girl! That is very sweet of you to say and means a lot to hear, especially on sucky CD1. I really appreciate it and I enjoy being here and sharing with you all as well.
CS/Q: (not sure what this is--I'm fairly new here)
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all? Just moved a few months ago. For my tops, I organize by sleeve length. Everything else pretty much by style--dresses, dress pants, cardigans, blazers, jeans etc.
Really tired today so I'm just going to say I hope everyone is having a good day and good luck to the people I saw doing treatment/testing.

On the bottom i have school shirts, holiday shirts (I teach first grade!), race/running shirts (not workout ones), and Disney shirts. On the tiny back wall I have dresses. On the other wall on the top I have shirts, skirts, Lilly Pulitzer I haven't worn yet, and winter shirts. On the bottom I have pants and the rest of my winter shirts. All my running clothes are in a separate closet. Yeah. I have a problem.

R/R: Based on my apps, I should have O but OPKs are no. I'm usually 27-28 days/ cycle but,this is my first cycle TTC, not sure how reliable even though I've been tracking for a bit.
CS/Q:
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all?
Try to organize tops by style (work vs non), then sleeve length, then color. Pants the same way then dresses and blazers. Usually by laundry day I just hang things wherever.
@Stargazer1lily I'll be getting the same BW as soon as I get onto my next cycle - FX we both get some answers
@olive_lane O can get delayed for a lot of reasons, and you're only at CD15 - so just keep HIO
Month/Cycle: 7/6
CD: 51
WAYDTGKU: Waiting it out right now, although still taking all my supplements. Except EPO, my naturopath had me stop that, as she said it might be contributing to me not turning an OPK the past couple of cycles. Starting BW when I finally get AF.
R/R: Well, it's CD51. I'm headed home for my dad's surgery, and last night the naturopath said that this long cycle is normal in stressful situations. She'll still kick start my period if I don't get it (or O) in the next 10-14 days though, which is a bit of a relief.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all? Well - we're minimalists, so my wardrobe actually fits in a plastic tub. I keep my work pants/dresses together, tops together, and then socks/underwear/gym clothes together.
@olive_lane sailing_mama is right, O can be delayed for many reasons. for the last 7 months I've alternated from a 30+ day cycle to a 26 day cycle, always 26, well this cycle should've been a 26 day cycle and here I am at CD 21 still waiting on CH. all of that is to say, Don't give up just yet! Keeping Hio and using those opks. GL.
@Sailing_Mama I hope you get some answers soon. Sending well wishes your way. I hope your dad's surgery is uneventful.
Month/Cycle: 8
CD: 21 just waiting on those CH
WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt, cm, opks, hio-eod and i'm sure some other things I'm forgetting
R/R: it's raining and after 3 days off, I'm not feeling work. Had a nice weekend with the DH. Last one where we have no plans, every weekend in June is booked.
CS/Q: FX for high temp tomorrow. chart link in siggy if you have any thoughts or if you're bored.
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all?
I have it split into sections, work attire, outside of work, and then shoved to the side- winter. I keep my pants and dresses on a different bar where they can hang without being folded. My jeans and shorts are in drawers in the closet.

@Stargazer1lily Do you have an appt for the bloodwork yet? I hope that you get some answers too. Hugs.
@Sailing_Mama I really hope that everything goes well with your dad's surgery. I hope that you'll keep us posted on everything as well. I'm so sorry that everything has you stressing so much and that's prolonging your cycle. Thinking of you and your family.
Month/Cycle: 3/3 (2AL)
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, CM, adding green tea for CM and B6 for LP this cycle, and obvs HIO
R/R: It's CD1 and I'm not too happy that my LP was only 9 days this past cycle.
CS/Q:
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all?
Dresses hanging together, then long skirts, short dressy skirts, lighter long sleeved tops, heavier long sleeved tops, cardigans, sweaters, sweatshirts folded on a shelf, and jeans and dress pants on an adjacent rack.
@olive_lane it's become habit by now but I'm a bit of a neat freak!
@Sailing_Mama sorry you're having a rough cycle but I'm glad you have a plan moving forward.
@Avrilmai glad you had a nice weekend!

Hi everyone! I’ve gotten pretty overwhelmed by TTGP lately, so I’ve been posting less. But I’m starting a medicated cycle and I’m actually WTO for once, so I thought I’d try checking in here again.
Month/Cycle: 7/5
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: HIO EOD, Clomid, tracking BBT and CM, PNV, paleo, daily yoga
R/R: The long weekend turned out great. We got to spend a lot of time with friends we haven’t seen in a while. I’m in talks with a potential new employer which feels promising. Right now is sort of the calm before the (potential) storm, so we will see.
CS/Q:
GTKY: I hang my work clothing and fold my casual attire. Shirts go by color, then sleeve length. Pants go by length/style, then by color.
@shortstack930 FX for your IUI this cycle!
@olive_lane Have you been monitoring BBT or OPKs before this cycle? It’s possible the app you were using just stuck O on CD14/15 without the temps or OPKs to confirm. I’m sure you’ve heard we prefer FF around here, and you’re always welcome to request a CS if things aren’t making sense to you. There are also people who don’t turn OPKs, so that’s a possibility. That’s why it’s important to consider all your signs to really pinpoint O. Good luck!
@Sailing_Mama Hey lady! What the heck are you still doing here!? Not cool. I’m glad the end is in sight for this cycle and BW is right around the corner. Hugs and positive thoughts for your dad
@Avrilmai Hey girly! FX those CHs show ASAP and you can leave here for good. Working after a long weekend is the worst, but I’m glad you got to enjoy some time with YH.
@kbamomma33 Hugs for CD1 and double hugs for a short LP
Have all the wine today.
@Dilynne It sounds like you’re in for a crazy weekend! Can’t wait to hear all about it
TTC #1 November 2016

BFP June, 21 2017 | EDD March 4, 2018
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: PNV BBT CM RRL HIO
R/R: Two more days until my DH is home! Still hoping O holds off until CD15 but I never had hopes for this cycle anyway. Real weird though... my temp plummeted this morning. It was hovering around 97.5 and then this morning it went down to 97.20. Don't know what that is about but whateves.
CS/Q: Just waiting to see what my CM is going to do this week... started getting EWCM on CD9. Hopefully it doesn't dry up before O like it did last month.
GTKY: How do you organize your closet? By color? Style? No organization at all?
I organize shirts by sleeve length and then by style (fancy, casual, ect) and then by color. I organize dresses and skirts the same way... by style then by color. I also put all of my winter clothes (long sleeve shirts, sweaters, ect) on the bottom rack and all my other shirts on the top rack. My pants all go into my dresser and I have those divided by work pants or jeans/casual. Shorts have their own drawer. My closest never stays this way very long but I try to reorganize as much as possible or I lose/forget about things I have. lol Obviously I'm NOT a minimalist like @Sailing_Mama
@shortstack930 Yay for the IUI! Hope things move forward tomorrow!
@olive_lane Have you been tracking BBT for awhile? Like the previous posters mentioned, your I day can change month to month. Mine has moved up to CD14 from CD17 the first month I was tracking.
@Sailing_Mama Thinking of you and your dad.
@Avrilmai I feel you! June and July are crazy busy months for us too.
@kbamomma33 Ugh, sorry about CD1 and the short LP. Maybe consider RRL tea?
@Dilynne Wow
@kbamomma33 sorry to hear about CD.
@Dilynne you are a saint for that camp trip-good luck!
@LoveInDC sorry to hear you are feeling overwhelmed but glad you decided to check in, it's lovely to meet you! It's my first cycle using BBT and OPKs but I have done CM and Cervical changs since January. CM is starting to dry up now- I think I just want to understand what I'm doing and I've either read too much or not enough lol. I appreciate your note.
@JJMNO1616 I hope your hubby gets home while you EWCM is still around! Good luck!
@LoveInDC Haaayyyy girl. Nice to see you in here! How are you feeling about starting a medicated cycle?
@JJMNO1616 If you are close to O, it could just be a pre-O temp dip. My temps did that like 4 days before O last cycle, then shot up for O. FX your O holds off for YH. Re: CM- I don't have a ton of it either, and almost never have EWCM. Pounding water really helped me to see more last cycle though. I'm adding more green tea this cycle too. Maybe that would help get you that fertile CM for longer? I'm going to look into RRL for LP too, as you suggested.
@Avrilmai @LoveInDC @kbamomma33 @shortstack930 @JJMNO1616 Thanks for all the positive vibes!
@olive_lane Nice to "meet" you too
@kbamomma33 Hey girl! I'm riding the roller coaster of emotions these days. Yay that I'm actually WTO, but I'm super doubtful that I'll actually O let alone GKTFU (no reason why, other than bitterness). I'm obviously hopeful that everything will work out and this will be my last cycle. But at the same time, I'm trying to be realistic and not put too much stock in that hope. *shrug* I'm hoping that participating in WTO/TWW will help me feel more "in it" and invested in this cycle. But right now, I just feel detached.

HA! Our closet (because we share) is soooooo small we really can't even organize. I mean. I try. I have dresses and formal wear in one area. Then long sleeve shirts in one spot and short sleeve in another along with a section for skirts and dress pants. I really want to move to a house with a bigger closet because i can't deal with this tiny one anymore

@Dilynne wow, I don't know if I could deal with that many tweens at one time. Will you have some other adult help?

@JJMNO1616 FX that the temp drop means that O will hold off a little longer and YH will be back in town.
