CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your best true (happened to you) story?

I don't know if this is the best, but I was one propositioned to be a foot model

R/R: hooray my migraine is just a dull headache today! haha. Getting excited for our first IUI, but also trying so hard not to get my hopes up. The success rate is still low and I am just trying to be all zen

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your best true (happened to you) story?

Umm....I had someone propose to me and I said no

best decision I ever made. DH jokes that he was so nervous to ask me because I really might have said no! haha

@kiwi2628 ahhhhh HOORAY for those great follies! They are great sizes too! I'll will be right behind you hopefully. FX'd this is our month and we can be SSs and be on a month board together haha

lurvleybunchococonuts · June 2017

Hai guys, I go here now. Aunt Flo's kid sister, Spotty McJerkface, showed up this morning, which means Auntie will be arriving shortly. Don't mind me while sit in the corner lurking and having a pity party. I'll join in on the fun when I get over myself. Side note: I'm looking forward to my first attempt at temping this cycle and DH was really supportive and sweet this morning so double yay?

@kiwi2628 I love a story that includes the word propositioned, please explain further. And FX for your follies

@GG620 glad your migraine is on the upswing

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM/CP, PNV, OPK, preseed, HIO…

R/R: Took my car to the dealership to get an estimate on the damage… $8,150 (based on what they can see, could be more if they get into the car and find unexpected broken parts) and will take at least a month to fix. So insurance is out at least $10K (with rental car) on a car that is worth $12K, not looking good on keeping this car. I should be hearing from the insurance today.

On a TTC note, EWCM started yesterday so time to get my freak on!

CS/Q:

GTKY: Oh gosh, I’m sure there is one but brain is still asleep. Okay I thought of one – in college one of my friends didn’t want a drink at a party that someone had given to her so my other guy friend took it and drank it. He comes back up to our dorm saying he’s not feeling good and then he starts banging his head against the brick walls and freaking out. Turns out the drink was roofied (sp?). We called the ambulance because we had no idea what to do, and because the cops didn’t believe he was drugged, he got in trouble. He was mad at us for a while after that but he was seriously banging his head on a concrete/brick wall and we had no idea what had happened.

@kiwi2628 – that is so awesome about your IUI! So many things crossed for you!

@GG620 – yay for your migraine going away.

R/R: I am trying to not get my hopes up, but pretty sure I ovulated yesterday, so just hanging out hoping FF gives me cross hairs.

CS/Q: not a question, but I have been temping at the same time each day, but I was getting open circles for half my days, because I was entering my temps later in the day. I changed me temp time and all my circles are closed.

GTKY: What is your best true (happened to you) story?

I can't think of anything really but my csection story, I am certain there are better ones. Anyway, long story short, I was numb when the surgery started.

WAYDTGKU: sex and different sorts of vitamins and different sorts of tracking and maybe some hoping stuff

R/R: Our friends got engaged a couple weekends ago, and when we saw them last week (and we were drinking le booze), they told us that they were going to throw themselves an engagement party inviting everyone they've ever met in this city. And I was like, "Oh, wow, I didn't know you were inviting that many people to the wedding!" (they're not getting married here because duh, who can afford an NYC wedding), and they were like, "Oh, we're not inviting those people to the wedding." So I sort of explained how that might be hurtful to some people, and at first they scoffed, but then they sent out their FB invite today, and it is not an engagement party anymore - just a get together. So, IDK. I sort of want to throw them an actual engagement party, but DH isn't sold.

CS/Q: what does ovulation pain feel like? I don't think I experience it... but I also don't really even know what I'm looking for.

GTKY: What is your best true (happened to you) story?

My best story in the spoiler below:

So, DH and I live in one of those luxury high rise buildings in NYC with like 6 elevators and a bunch of doormen always around. We started living here about seven years ago? This story takes place six years ago. We had broken up for about 6 months, I moved back to California, but then we got back together, and I came to visit. One of his friends from high school was having a birthday party at a bar, and we all got super drunk. I have some memories of being in the bar, but then I only have brief flashes of playing Words with Friends in the cab on the way home (reminder: I get suuuper motion sick under the best of circumstances) at around 2 or 3am. My next memory is vomiting in the elevator in our building, and DH sort of draaaaagging me down the hallway to our apt.

The next thing I know, I'm being violently shaken awake by DH. I look around - I'm face down on our bed with all my clothes on (even shoes), and it's like 7am. DH keeps saying, "WTF, why didn't you answer the door? WTF is wrong with you??" I'm still a little drunk, and he's clearly still drunk.

"Huh? Answer what door? I was sleeping?" I try to explain.

"I was out in the hallway for TWO HOURS trying to get back into the apartment! Why didn't you answer the door? I was banging on it as hard as I could!!"

This is confusing. First, I did not hear any banging because I was in a drunken stupor slumber. Second, there are always doormen on duty downstairs; why not just go get a key from them? DH has lived in NYC his whole life, he knows how doormen work, it's how he got back inside his parents apt in high school.

"Why didn't you just get a key from the doormen?" I ask him.

He pauses, and then shouts at me, "BECAUSE I WAS NAKED!!"

At this point I die laughing, which honestly isn't something a drunk angry person appreciates. There are like, 25 apartments on our floor? So, my husband (boyfriend at the time, but whatever) was out in the hallway at around 5am banging on our apartment door as loud as he could completely naked??

"How did you get back into the apartment then?" I ask him.

He pauses again. "The really old doorman came upstairs because one of our stupid neighbors called the front desk to complain," he tells me.

(Let's pause here for me to say that I can't even imagine what I would do if I heard super loud banging and shouting in the middle of the night, and then looked out the peep hole and saw a fully naked 20-something dude banging on a door.)

"Uhhh.... so he came upstairs, and you were... fully naked? What did he say to you?"

"He came up, and he said, sir, do you live here? and I said, YES!, and he said, sir, why are you naked? and I told him I didn't know. Then he went back downstairs, got the key, and let me into the apartment."

"Okay... wait, why were you out in the hallway?" I ask him.

"I must have been out there trying to clean up your vomit! This is your fault!"

I laugh, which he doesn't appreciate. I did vomit in the hallway... but... something doesn't seem to fit... "Did you have any cleaning supplies with you? Like a paper towel or anything?"

He thinks about this. "No," he admits.

I get up shakily and go to the front door to look out into the hallway. In front of our door there is a rather sizable wet spot in the carpet. The kind one might make if he were to mistake the front door for the bathroom door and shut it behind himself.

To this day this is my favorite story and my husband's least favorite.

@kiwi2628 That's great news about your US! I am jealous your RE does double IUIs. Does yours always do that or did you request it?

@GG620 I so feel you on the trying not tog get too excited about IUI thing. It's tough. But really glad to hear the Tylenol helped you!

@lurvleybunchococonuts Oh no, I hate SpottyMcJerkface! Sorry you're here.

@justkeepswimming8 Yay for EWCM! Your story is pretty messed up.

@holly321 I wasn't bothering to temp b/c of the Clomid--have your temps been different this time as opposed to non Clomid months or does the timing make it too hard to tell?

@doxiemoxie212 That was pretty great!

WAYDTGKU: right now, waiting

R/R: I called my ob yesterday to talk to her about my 2nd anovulatory cycle and she wants me to come in to do some blood work and figure out what's going on. So I'm going in later today.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your best true (happened to you) story?

I went to college in the Bronx and lived close enough that I could walk every day. A few times I got stopped by truancy officers and had to show my license and college ID to prove I wasn't escaping the charter high school right there. One time I got stopped and I figured that what it was for so I took my IDs out and the cop proceeded to shamelessly flirt with me and ask me out on a date. It was super awkward but I told him if he didn't hand my IDs back I was going to file a complaint with his CO. He laughed, said he was just kidding, handed back my IDs and let me go. Fast forward 6 years and we're at friends house for a BBQ. Said friend just happens to be an NYPD officer. So Officer Flirty shows up and just stares at me for a solid 20min before coming over and asking "do I know you from somewhere? You look so familiar to me." To which I reply "yeah, you stopped me by *college* and asked me out a few years ago." Everyone laughed but he kept his distance from me (and DH) for the rest of the party.

purplg8r · June 2017

@kiwi2628 yay! I'm glad you're u/s had such great results!!!

@GG620 I'm glad your migraine has eased into a headache! Hopefully that goes away soon!

@lurvleybunchococonuts I'm so sorry you're back over here but your nickname for spotting cracked me up!

@justkeepswimming8 oh man. I hope they don't find anymore damage on your car

@holly321 FX you get crosshairs soon!

WAYDTGKU: temping, OPKS, PNVs & CoQ10

R/R:H, H's twin & his wife (who I love) went to a piano bar last night & had lots of drinks. I'm so glad I took a break from my drinking ban. I've missed it

CS/Q: still waiting on a temp rise. With the exception of 1 day, I've worked out every day this cycle. And when I run/do the videos, I push myself hard. But since I should be O'ing today, I'm afraid to continue today and during TWW. I know it's silly but it's in the back of my mind that it could prevent implantation or cause another EP. So I'm a loss at what to do.

GTKY: What is your best true (happened to you) story? I guess the one recently (so some of you might have already heard it). My bff & I were at the Garth Brooks concert. We had tickets way up high and kinda behind the stage. Traffic was horrible and I was hungry and the concert was about to start. We were in line for food way high up and this couple came and asked us if it was just two of us. We said that it was. They asked if we wanted front row tickets. We were very suspicious of why they were giving it to us or what we had to do but we took them since we still had our original tickets if anything went wrong. Turns out at every concert, he leaves his front couple of rows empty and has staff members go find people with high up seats to move down! It was amazing and so much fun!!

Avrilmai · June 2017

@doxiemoxie212 that's a great story. I see why it's your fav and your H's least fav. it was good for a laugh.
@kiwi2628 that is great news! FX for you! I will be thinking of you this weekend.
@GG620 glad to hear the migraine is dissipating.
@justkeepswimming8 sounds like a frustrating situation all around with the car. i hope you find a solution that works for you
@holly321 FX for your CH soon.
@vflux33 I was lurking yesterday and want to share that I understand you feeling bad, and maybe guilty?, for venting about your sister here and there. I want you to know that I think those feelings of guilt or feeling bad about it shows how much you do care about her. I know it is a difficult situation and when you're struggling and others seemingly "have it easy." Nothing you said or vented on TB or IRL caused this situation. You sound like you are being a supportive sister, despite your sister's faults, and that is what she needs right now. Just know that we are here to support you. I hope you're having a better day today. GL at the dentist.
@purplg8r what a nice surprise! that's really cool. Glad you got to enjoy a night out and have a few drinks.

R/R: yesterday was a weird, rough day. Just not in a good place with the ttc stuff. So many feelings, mostly of the negative variety. **TW-my SIL is pregnant, I am very happy for them, but also envious. It is a weird situation, bc in the time that we have been ttc, she has gotten pregnant twice. So, it is very mixed, I feel horrible that they had a loss, but also struggle with all of the milestones that they are sharing with us, and I want to share in their joy. This weekend they are having an impromptu gender reveal party, fortunately, I have to work, so I won't have to hold it together. end TW** Each cycle it gets harder for me to maintain even a neutral outlook. I guess I just didn't expect to be the woman that cries when AF shows up. Sorry if that got a little DD, I just needed to vent. 8 days until vacation...I can make it!

CS/Q: I think I've seen this question before, but don't remember the response. So I''ll ask, yesterday my temp was up, i got up did a few things and then took my temp again 30mins later just to see what it would be. It actually went down .10 from my initial waking temp. I entered the initial temp but was considering averaging the two. I don't think that it really matters as it was CD4 just curious what you ladies think.

GTKY: What is your best true (happened to you) story?
I have no idea at the moment. I'll try to think of one and come back and share.

R/R: Still waiting for full flow but things are picking up pace. DH and I also made a decision last night about my new lease and I'm really excited! After some negotiations we were able to get them down on the price even more then expected so I'll be cruizing in a Cadillac XT5 soon!

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: What is your best true (happened to you) story?
Hmm I may think of a better one later but when I was 20yo I got caught drinking on the beach but because I had just started drinking I only blew a .001 The cop didn't feel like giving me a Minor in Posession charge because that meant he would have to take me in and book me (lots of paperwork for him). So instead he put me in "time out" on the beach for 45 minutes. I wasn't aloud to go anywhere or do anything until the time was up because he wanted to make sure I blew 0 before I could go. The worst part is one of my friends had a bench warrent out for his arrest due to an unpaid ticket. So he got taken in and we had to drive 2 hours back to get him out of jail the next day. Oh to be young again.

vflux33 · June 2017

@mschanandlerbong1214 GL at your appointment! Also my parents both went to college in the Bronx too

Thanks @Avrilmai, I appreciate that

As for your situation, as a fellow 34 year old, I'd say if you think this isn't happening on its own, taking that first step to figure out what your insurance covers for IF stuff and researching local REs may make you feel a little better. When and if you hit cycle 10 or 11, you could see how long it takes to get an appointment and schedule, or you could even get a couple tests earlier. Being so close to AMA I can say I do wish I had gone to see a RE earlier, especially since we ended up getting delayed from starting treatment for a few extra months b/c of genetic stuff. Even just mentally preparing for that step in itself can be helpful. If you ever need to vent or have questions about it, myself and the other way too many IF'ers here can try to help you work through the well of info out there on this.

kiwi2628 · June 2017

Ok, so, I was at an event in Columbus, Ohio (where I lived at the time going to school) and a man with a very large, professional camera comes up to me. He says he loves my shoes (they were these fabulous little manolos with a ridiculously high heel) and that I look great in them. I say thanks and we keep chatting (not flirting, he is clearly gay) and after like 10 minutes he says that he is a professional photographer and he thinks my feet are beautiful and would I ever pose for him...but just my feet. In shoes, out of shoes, in stockings...just feet. Clearly for foot fetish stuff. I politely declined, although in hind sight I should have asked how much it paid.

@GG620 hopefully this is it for us and @vflux33 . Also @vflux33 my insurance will pay for 2, so my RE does one at 24 hours and one at 36-48 hours if insurance allows him to, although the increase in success isn't actually much higher (16% compared to 14% for me specifically).

@doxiemoxie212 that story is fucking AMAZING

vflux33 · June 2017

@kiwi2628 Oooooh I see, yeah we are OOP for IUIs so that's probably less worth it for me/why my RE didn't suggest it. FX for you!

Avrilmai · June 2017

thanks so much @vflux33 . I've just started a bit of very preliminary research into REs in the area. There is only one clinic with 2 docs who are actually REs. there are a few "fertility" clinics with OBs who "specialize" and my OB's office says that they offer HSGs and ovulation induction which makes me a bit nervous because I've been reading all of the advice in the IF thread and in the dailies on doing meds, like clomid, with an OB. As for insurance, i haven't really looked into my current coverage, but I don't have high hopes. My employer doesn't cover any IF treatment and I got on my H's plan so I can keep my OB/deliver at the hospital where she has privileges, and he works for a Catholic institution so not much hope there, but I will research that tonight. It will give me a sense of some control at this point.

@kiwi2628 definitely sounds like a foot fetish photographer. When I was like 20 I was a production assistant and part of the job was to move an erotic bookstore from one building to another. There were several foot fetish books and I remember one was actually wrapped in a nylon stocking. It was an eye opening experience.

vflux33 · June 2017

@Avrilmai Yeah, I agree don't go with an OB. Many people don't have IF treatment covered but do have diagnostics covered, so still worth it to call and check. If nothing is covered (my situation too) it will give you time to cost things out and figure out how to pay for it. It definitely helped me feel more in control when I knew where I'd be going and then when it was time to make the appointment it was just one phone call b/c I had already done the research. I'm really hoping it'll all just be a waste of time for you and you'll get KU before going in, but yeah, it may relax you at this point a bit to know you have a plan in place.

CS/Q: nah

GTKY: What is your best true (happened to you) story?

See spoiler for story about my 20th birthday drinking in Africa...

So I spent two months in a rural Tanzanian village after sophomore year of college. We were building a school and we only had accommodations there during the week, so we'd go in to the nearest "city" each weekend and stay at hostels. I was turning 20 one weekend and I went out with three guys who were volunteering with me (who I'd actually only just met a week earlier now that I think about it). We went to a local bar to have a drink and did some tequila shots. Then we decided to head out to a dance club that was out of walking distance. We got in a taxi and were on a roundabout when our driver started shouting at the car in front of him that was driving erratically and starting/stopping on the roundabout. So our driver passes the other car and that makes the other car mad, so it rams in to the back of our taxi. Then all of a sudden there is a motorbike with a couple guys on it that's come up and is screaming at our driver and it's all getting very intense, but we've just arrived at the club. So we throw some money at the driver and run towards the club entrance then turn back to see our driver getting into a fight with the other driver and the other driver has a club and is beating the taxi driver with it. We did not stick around and quickly paid our cover charge to get inside and proceeded to drink copious amounts of Konyagi, a smooth local hard alcohol, then dancing our nerves away. I ended the night throwing up on the street. ...It was a pretty rag tag service organization, so I have a ton of great stories from it. But I never want to sound like I'm bragging about traveling there, so I mostly keep them to myself!

@kiwi2628 - yay for the great US! FX everything goes smoothly tomorrow and the weekend

@GG620 - glad your clomid migraines are getting better!

@justkeepswimming8 - sorry about the car news, I hope they at least give you a huge check for a replacement car so that you have some good options. GL with the BD!

@holly321 - FX for CHs!

@doxiemoxie212 - back when I used to get O pain, it was just a strong throbbing feeling on one side for about a day. love your crazy story!

@vflux33 - hope the dentist time isn't too bad! and I'm so sorry for your sister's sad news. I've grown fond of her through your stories, she sounds like someone who is very in your corner (in her own way!) and I hope you can help her have somewhere to grieve and vent. I hope it doesn't make her more prone to the hypochondria panic too.

@mschanandlerbong1214 - I hope this leads to some clarity for you from the OB! that story is fantastic, he must have been so embarrassed!

@purplg8r - that is so fun about the concert, what a fun surprise! and huge huge props for the working out, that is amazing! I think some people do recommend more gentle working out starting a few days after O. Maybe you can transition to walking or swimming if it will make you feel less stressed?

@avrilmai - I'm so sorry you are struggling *hugs* I hope the vacation ends up being a great break from the struggle. I would probably just keep the first temp, but it is odd.

@JJMNO1616 - that is a fantastic story!

vflux33 · June 2017

@elisek Yay for HIO! *TW also thank you. I'm trying to encourage her to find a therapist and it isn't going well. Right now, she is talking about how she is jealous of people who "get to" do IVF b/c they can be sure they won't have chromosomal problems before transfer. I'm gently trying to tell her IVF is not something to be jealous of, but it's not really working. So I think it's safe to say this loss is not going to improve her hypochondria.

GTKY: What is your best true (happened to you) story? I was once involved in a police sting. Long story short - someone stole my friend's and my phones and wallets at an outdoor event. We filed a police report and were headed home. As we were walking to our car those dipshits called my friend's boyfriend from her phone and offered to sell our stuff back to us. It just so happened that a police officer was walking by while we were on the phone. My friend stopped him and told him what was going on. The police officer told us to agree to the deal so they could arrest them. We met the thief in the most sketch gas station parking lot in town for the exchange. When the thief came up to the car I gave the "signal" to the police and the place was flooded with squad cars - lights and sirens blaring. Guns were drawn, people were arrested, it was intense. I did not get any of my stuff back but my friend did.

@mschanandlerbong1214: Good luck with the blood draw today! I hope you get good results.
@purplg8r: Ugh, I was so close to having an amazing Garth Brooks story. I know one of his very close friends and had them pull some strings to have Garth recognize a friend of mine at one of his shows. She had a horrific car accident on the way to one of his shows years before. He actually later flew her out to a different show not long after the wreck and gave her the VIP treatment. Anyway, she mentioned in passing one day that she wished she could meet him again and tell him how much that meant. So I was being sneaky and tried to set it up. He agreed and everything was in place. The problem was that I told the Garth people the wrong show! She went to the early concert and he was planning on the late concert. So... nothing happened. It made me sick to my stomach.
@Avrilmai: I'm sorry you're having a rough day.
@JJMNO1616: Congrats on the new car! That sounds fancy and amazing!

@GG620 Glad to hear your headache is subsiding a bit. I had a aura yesterday indicating I had a migraine coming but luckily I caught it in time to take some meds so the headache never actually set in.

@lurvleybunchococonuts UGH! I'm still dealing with spotty Mcjerkface.... Auntie can hurry her butt up already. Also sorry that Mcjerkface arrived in the first place.

@justkeepswimming8 Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about your car... I must have missed what happened. Hope everyone is ok! And OMG your story is so scary... I had to call 911 on a friend who just drank wayyy too much at a party and blacked out. They ended up getting a minor in possession charge while in the hospital. It's so shitty when that happens because it just discourages people from reaching out for help.

@holly321 FX for CH!

@doxiemoxie212 Your story seriously made my day! I love that he was yelling at you like you did something wrong for not waking up. lmaooo. This also may be an UO but I don't really get engagement parties. I think there is already so much money spent and celebration that goes into weddings... no offense against anyone who has one or wants to throw one for a friend but I think they are a bit overkill.

@mschanandlerbong1214 I'm sorry to hear you had another anovulatory cycle but I am glad you reached out and your doctor is being receptive.

@purplg8r Great job with your workouts! I understand why you would be a little concerned. Maybe you could do some lighter exercise the next two weeks? Oh and that totally happened to one of my best friend's at the Garth Concert! I couldn't believe it when she told me... isn't it so cool he does that?!

@Avrilmai I'm sorry to hear you are having a tough time right now. I know I would feel the same way... you want to be happy for your sister and share in her joy but you also feel really sad for yourself. That's a confusing and difficult space to be in. I hope you enjoy your vacation and get your mind off life a bit.

@notthefather Your story is awesome! I would LOVE to be in a police sting... just not get my stuff stolen or be the person getting arrested.

@Avrilmai I completely understand about your SIL. My brother and his wife start trying in October and according to her, her family is extremely fertile. Sigh. Also, I've heard you should always keep your first temp.

@JJMNO1616 yay for deciding on the new car!

@elisek I have severe scoliosis. It's no fun.

@notthefather I should eat the silent alarm on the Fitbit. Oh and that's such a cool Garth story! I love him!

@Stargazer1lily I hope you feel better soon!

hedgepig · June 2017

@kiwi2628 Yay for the good follies!

@GG620 I'm so glad to hear that your headache is letting up. Multiple day headaches are one of my least favorite things of all time.

@justkeepswimming8 Sorry about your car - that sucks!

@doxiemoxie212 I laughed so good at your story that I had to read it to MH. Good times

@vflux33 Ugh, I hatehatehate the dentist. Sorry...

@mschanandlerbong1214 Wow, that story is good!

@purplg8r Sweet score on the tickets!

@Avrilmai Agreed on what you said to @vflux33 . *TW* I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling down about your SIL's pregnancy. I haven't even been TTC for very long, but I think I'm beginning to know what you mean. We saw our good friends this past weekend in the evening after their baby shower and it was hard to not really feel as happy as I should about everything going on with them. */TW* I hope you can give yourself the love you deserve and that you feel better about it soon. AND, if you can't vent here, then where can you?

@notthefather Crazy story!

WAYDTGKU: Just got a positive OPK this morning and EWCM, so mostly just banging at this point

R/R: Today was the first time that I have successfully gotten a positive OPK, which was probably more exciting for me than it should have been...

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is your best true (happened to you) story?
Ok, here's one: When I was a freshman in college I went to a dorm event and this guy starts talking to me. He seemed pretty weird, but I was flattered because no one EVER flirted with me. After a while I started getting a little uncomfortable because I had a BF (my now H) and didn't want to lead him on, so I start mentioning my BF very pointedly. Not long after that, I start looking around for the friend who I went to the event with, but she was busy. THEN, basically out of the blue, he says to me "I'd like to take your home and lick champagne off of every surface of your body." I'd never been so surprised in my life. Needless to say I split and spent the rest of my college career avoiding him.

I guess I wasn't expecting this because I just spit water all over myself.
ETA: What a freaking waste of champagne.

@hedgepig WHO SAYS THAT

and i'd love to know if it has actually ever worked for him?

vflux33 · June 2017

@hedgepig Yay for + OPK! And that dude sounds super gross.

Ooooh @notthefather reminded me of a true story (I don't know about "best" but I'm using it because it's 100% true).

So before we were married MH and I used to live in southern AZ. We moved into a little rental house in a very not fancy part of the city. Our landlord said that some stuff had happened with former tenants and that there were like 30 - 50 people living there illegally, but didn't go into a lot of detail. One day the local news showed up outside our house, didn't knock or ask us anything, and just started filming live with a reporter. We were like WTF and turned on the local news and they were talking about how our house was a "coyote" house that was busted 6 months before in a big immigration sting and that the guy who was on the previous lease was starting trial that day. A few weeks later, a guy showed up to our house with a suitcase. I guess he hadn't heard it wasn't a coyote house anymore. We felt SO bad. In broken Spanish we politely explained we weren't the people he was looking for. He seemed like a really nice guy and was horrified he couldnt live with us. We did NOT call the police/ICE on him, of course, but we didn't invite him to come live with us either because he was a total stranger and, not being in close contact with the underground people smuggling world, we couldn't help him.

hedgepig · June 2017

@JJMNO1616 I was going to say that I didn't think it ever worked for him, as he was legit creepy, but then I remembered that he did get a GF at some point, so..... maybe?

jenotontx · June 2017

@vflux33 Oh noo that's so heartbreaking. That poor guy, I can only imagine what he had to go through to get to the house in the first place. Not that I would let him live with me either but it's just sad what people go through to have a better life. He is lucky you and your DH didn't call the police though... there are so many people who would.

Yeah, especially in Arizona

If we had thought of anything else to do for him, we would have, but we were just stumped and taken by surprise at the time. I think if it happened now I would have contacted an immigration nonprofit or something but that didn't occur to me in the moment.

doxiemoxie212 · June 2017

@vflux33 @JJMNO1616 Can we take a second to talk about how it seems like Arizona is really off the rails these days? DH keeps making jokes that we have to go visit the Grand Canyon before they get the uranium mines up and running. lol

vflux33 · June 2017

@doxiemoxie212

Tucson is really progressive --I lived there on and off for 7 years and MH grew up there. Phoenix republicans have a "supermajority" and control all the politics in the state. Sorry, as a former Tucsonan I have to point that out. I was living in AZ when the SB 1070 debacle (which the citizens of AZ never voted on btw) happened and most of the politicians in Tucson spoke out against it. But yeah AZ has terrifying politics and I ran away to CA so I can't disagree with that!

ETA put politics in spoiler above.

holly321 · June 2017

@vflux33, I haven't temped in 5 years, so I don't have much to compare . This month started really up and down, I am not sure if it is due to my high hormone levels, or if it is because of my sinus infection. The days on clomid, my temp was higher. The days after, it dropped and stayed lower. Up until this morning. It has risen. I think (or hope) I O'ed because of cervical position, o pain and CM.

@doxiemoxie212, TW,. When I was 39 weeks with DD, I was 4.5 cm dilated and almost fully effaced. OB asked if I wanted induced, I agreed, we scheduled it for 2 days later. The next morning, I have crazy amounts of CM, so I called, his receptionist brushes me off and says that is it because I am 39 weeks. Immediately after getting off the phone, I have a VM from her telling me that my OB over heard the conversation and asked who she was talking to. When he heard it was me, wanted me to immediately get to labor and delivery, I was probably more dilated. I get there , my water bag is bulging, and I am almost 6 CM now, but not in labor. OB is clearly not comfortable sending me home, so he is going to break my water, with the hopes that immediately puts me in labor. At this point, my nurse starts to argue with him that my water is broken, I have said so. Which I didn't. He has his hand up my vagina and is telling her, he can tell it isn't broke.

In the process of breaking my water, he feels DDS but, she is Frank breech. She was heads down at my appointment. The day before discomfort now makes sense, my little stinker did a summersault. So, due to her tiny size, we can not attempt breach birth, I have to have a C-section. I don't really care, seems easier to me (boy was I naive). Since my water is broken, I am now in labor.

So, they prep me for surgery. As I am getting a spinal, I get a contraction and tense. My stupid nurse I dont like keeps rubbing my back telling the anestesiolgist that I "am so nervous". I literally am not nervous at all. Surgery is interesting to me, and in my mind, I now don't have to do any of the work. As the needle goes in, I feel a sharp pain down my right side. Left side feels numbish, but I can feel every thing on the right side. I tell the anesthesiologist, she keeps saying it is in my head, I am just scared. The do the pinch test, I say I feel the right side. She tells me, again, I am scared and a spinal allows you to feel, it just doesn't hurt. OBgyn comes in, goes to start surgery. He cuts on the left, it hurts, not bad enough to complain, it makes me worry how I am going to handle the next 30 minutes of surgery. He gets to the right side. I feel every thing. I start to scream. My OBgyn practically jumped out of his chair looks very bewildered. He tells the anestesiolgist to fix it. She yells at him that it is in my head. They kick my husband out of the OR, and continue to have a bit of a fight. I get knocked out, and wake up a few hours later.

WAYDTGKU: Temping & charting with FF, PNVs, 2000mg/day Metformin, 100mg Clomid, Preseed, OPKs

R/R: This is my second cycle on Clomid, but my first cycle combining it with Metformin. My first Clomid cycle was in February, I was on 50mg, and I didn't O. Circumstances are different this cycle, but I'm still so nervous that the Clomid will be ineffective this time as well. I feel like I can't talk to anyone about how I feel, so here I am. I'm thankful for this board.

CS/Q: I feel like my chart is so ugly this cycle!

My Ovulation Chart[/url]

GTKY: What is your best true (happened to you) story?
Last year, I was on my way home in the morning from dropping DH at the train station for work. I let a girl in a car pull out of a side street in front of me, since she was already 90% in the road and there was no way I could have continued driving anyway. She takes off and is out of my sight pretty quickly. About two miles from where I let her pull out, I came across her SMASHED into a tree, the car completely turned in the opposite direction she was going in. I pulled over to help. The car was on fire and I didn't know if the girl would be alive or dead when I got to the window. Thankfully, she was alive and seemed okay. I told her she had to get out of the car, quickly, because it was on fire. The door was stuck and I ended up having to pull her out of the window. I was terrified we were going to get blown up the whole time. Luckily, everyone was safe and when the police arrived, the fire was quickly put out. I gave a statement to an officer and went home, and never heard anything else about the accident. The strangest thing about the whole experience was that the girl was completely butt naked except for a bathrobe without a belt to tie it closed.

Edited because it turns out I don't know how to share my FF chart
