CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: Stuff

R/R: Temp spike this morning! Allergies are all gone (for now) and I should have some projects to work on at work. It's been slow this week since so many people are on vacation.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? There's a lot, but at the moment I wish I knew how to do counter cross stitch. My grandma used to them, but she passed away a couple of months ago so now there's no one to do wedding samplers and such. I think I might try to teach myself.

Augusta108 · June 2017

@KariAnn323, a slow week at work sounds nice! I like to cross stitch a lot, it's very relaxing to do while watching TV. Unfortunately my cat doesn't often allow it!

Month/Cycle: 7/8

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT, waiting for AF to depart

R/R: I had a great time at my librarian conference over the weekend, though I missed checking in here more often! I got to hear both John Lewis and Hillary Clinton speak about the importance of the work that librarians do, which was pretty awesome. I also got a lot of free books and was able to drown my arrival-of-AF sorrows with a free mimosa from one of the big publishers!

CS/Q: Nope, AF arrived right on schedule. Sigh.

GTKY: There are so many instruments I'd like to be able to play! I think the fiddle would be my first choice, though maybe I should say mastering the mandolin since I own one and can already play a little...

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: cm/cp, bbt, pnv, attempting to hip eod

R/R: rant - feel kinda crappy today, I hope I'm not getting sick. rave - With 4th of July around the corner I'd like to note that my pnvs + daily med are oh so patriotic. One is red, one is white, and one is blue. Om nom nom, 'murica get in my belly!

Image: https://media.tenor.com/images/7e3fe3ec8b6da334d5902fe7689bc169/tenor.gif

CS/Q: Anyone else have lower than "normal" temps? Mine have been ranging from 96.7 to 97.7, could be the cheapy BBT I got (only one I could find at the local store and was too impatient to order one online)? It'd brand new so the battery should be fine. I'll keep temping, hopefully it'll show the shift. Maybe I'm just cold blooded?

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? I wish I could whistle! Or snap my fingers. Sometimes on rare occasions DH says I get a whistle like sound out, but I'm 30 years old and still can't figure out how to do it consistently

Also, I can't roll r's... I blame never completing speech therapy as a kid. DH says I talk from the back of my mouth instead of the front of my mouth (whatever that means??). Oh well, I'll just be in my whistle free/non-snapping/non-Spanish speaking corner eating breakfast lol
____________________________________________
@KariAnn323 Woohoo! I hope your temps stay up and your allergies stay away

@Augusta108 I'm jealous of your free books

I'm glad you had a good time at your conference! Free mimosas make everything better!

ETA spelling and things

becausescience · June 2017

@KariAnn323 Yay for temp spike!
@lurvleybunchococonuts My temps are low too. My last "real" three have been under 96.6. Everybody just runs at slightly different temps. I can't roll my r's either

And DH can't whistle either. But it is really funny/cute when he tries.
@Augusta108 Suuuppppperrrr jealous you got to see HRC.

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: clomid, pnvs, opks, temping

R/R: Rant: Getting impatient for O. My temp is way down though so hopefully it will be soon. *possible TW* We have really hard water so I need to strip our CDs today because of mineral buildup. *end TW* Also the BGs deleted that one post and now my first sarcastic reply to a drive-by is gone for ever. Edit: nm my response was on the other thread.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? I basically wish I was more artistic than I really am. I'd love to be a wedding photographer. Or a graphic designer to make invites etc. Or good at watercolor to sell prints. I keep practicing though.

nitnat007 · June 2017

@KariAnn323 Hope your allergies stay away!

@Augusta108 I agree with you on the instruments. I have played guitar and piano when I was younger. But lucky if I can remember a couple chords now. If you don't use it, you lose it!

@lurvleybunchococonuts My temps have been really low lately too. But I just started tracking mine, also new thermometer. Today mine dropped to 96.6? Was curious if it was maybe an AF thing?

Month/Cycle: 2/2

WAYDTGKU: charts, temp, PNV, sex

R/R: Its hump day, nothing to report. Although its looking like the weather isn't going to be great for the long weekend.....grrrrrrr

CS/Q:

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? I wish I had a knack for languages. To be fluent in French and Spanish would be amazing. Some people just seem to pick it up like nothing.

wisewitch222 · June 2017

@Augusta108 That librarian conference sounds awesome!

@lurvleybunchococonuts Sorry you're feeling crappy today

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: temp, CM, PNV, EOD sex

R/R: Got report back from home inspectors and it's really good! Just some shoddy electrical work we can probably get the sellers to help us pay to fix

CS/Q: No AF, so I guess mid-cycle spotting is a thing my body does now?

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? Dancing. My mom let me quit dance class when I was 7 because I wasn't very good at it, but I think if I had stuck it out through eighth grade with all the other girls who were never going to become professional dancers, I would at least have a couple of moves to do at parties

millpe · June 2017

Good morning ladies! P&G for now because work. I will try to jump back on later to comment and reply.

Month/Cycle: 6/7

CD: 10

R/R: Feeling better today! Now I need to get my focus on and get a TON of work done today! Wish me luck.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Patience. Does that count as a skill? Other than that maybe any sort of creative talent. I am very left brain dominant.

SkilledSailor · June 2017

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, CM

R/R: It's a work from home day and I'm spending it shopping for a client. Woot woot! I hope to do some of that shopping by the pool.

Image: https://media.giphy.com/media/A6aHBCFqlE0Rq/giphy.gif

CS/Q:

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? I wish I had carpentry skills. It'd be cool to just build the wood work stuff I like and to put in new floors. Such a handy skill.

@KariAnn323 I've been wanting to take a cross stitch class. It's such a cute skill and I love that it has sentimental value for you.

@Augusta108 That sounds like an amazing conference!

@lurvleybunchococonuts My temps are around that range as well. I can't roll my r's either. Apparently speech therapy only helps you fix pronunciation for one language. We'd have to start all over for Spanish.

@becausescience Oh I wish I were more artistic too!

@nitnat007 Oooh a knack for languages would be amazing!

@wisewitch222 Yay for a good house report! Sorry your body is being wonky.

dukestar5 · June 2017

Good morning!

@MrsMiller8588 --what field of work are you in? So glad you are feeling better!
@nitnat007 --sorry about the weekend weather...I hope it gets nicer so you can enjoy the holiday weekend!
@lurvleybunchococonuts --your description of your pnvs made me lol!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: charting, etc

R/R: Rave: going to the beach this weekend is looking promising! Rant: My coffee is not nearly as delicious without the stevia to sweeten it...I think this is day 4 of giving it up.

CS/Q: *TW I used FF to chart with my last pregnancy about 1.5 years ago and it worked pretty well. I ended up getting a new phone in the fall; when I finally decided to start charting, one of the apps that popped up was Kindara. I don't have the kindara bbt, but the app was free and it had good reviews so I downloaded it. Now I am thinking I should switch back to FF...however, does FF allow you to go backward and enter data? I do not want to lose the data I've kept on my cycle the past few months. end TW*

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had?
I agree with @nitnat007 about being fluent in another language. I know Spanish well enough to get by, but I would love to speak it fluently. I also like @becausescience 's idea of a graphic design skill so that I could design my own invitations and other items.

JennyColada · June 2017

OMFG. For the THIRD time "A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded" and I lost my entire post. I give up. No tagging until I'm on desktop.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

WAYDTGKU: PNVs HIO bbt cm OPKs

R/R: stupid mobile browsing is stupid.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? Everything! Most often I wish I could sing well. I'm super tone deaf and am just so bad. But I love singing (in my car with the radio turned up super loud so that even I can't hear myself).

becausescience · June 2017

@dukestar5 With FF you can totally go back and enter old data. I did it from my desktop. Go to data and under cycle data entry there is a mass data entry option. Just choose your start date and go.

eliz2791 · June 2017

@Augusta108 I wish I was musically talented with instruments! My brother got that gene, but I was in choir back in jr high/high school.

@lurvleybunchococonuts those sound yummy! My SO can whistle really loudly and I'm a little envious. I can whistle very quietly along with a song and that's about it. It's quite useful having him around when we need to get someone's attention from far away or cheering at sporting events.

@becausescience We have really hard water, too. I've heard the worst in the country, but I don't know about that. Were looking into getting a water softener when we move in August. What do you use to strip them?

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM/CP, FF

R/R: I just got back from being out of town *TW* for my great grandmother's funeral *end TW* and my SO couldn't keep his hands off me when I got back. 5 day's was too long for him apparently, but it made me feel good that he missed me that much; especially since I though we'd miss my O window while I was gone.

CS/Q: The only days recently that I haven't temped were the day's I was traveling because I woke up super early to drive for 8.5 hours. Yet today I had a 1 degree spike in my temp and FF says ovulation not detected? I'm new to FF so I'm not really sure how fast it determines when O is since this is my first month recording in FF. I did have some intense cramping yesterday that lasted only about 5 min on my very low right side of my abdomen, so I was thinking O was yesterday.

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? I don't think being taller id necessarily a skill, so I'll say more artistic. Pretty much everyone else in my family is a great artist in some way. My grandmother paints oil and water color paintings and sells them. My brother is great at drawing anything you could possibly imagine. While I'm over here drawing stick figures...

*edited to add chart*

eliz2791 · June 2017

@dukestar5 I started with Glow and then downloaded FF last week and went back in and added all my data for this cycle and it was pretty quick and painless to do.

wisewitch222 · June 2017

@eliz2791 You probably did O yesterday based on that chart, but FF needs to see a temp rise sustained over 3 days before it gives you crosshairs.

JennyColada · June 2017

@KariAnn323 yay temp spike! FX it means O soon!
@Augusta108 happy to hear you had a good time at the conference! What books did you get (anything good)?
@lurvleybunchococonuts I need to get some more colorful PNVs lol. FX you're not getting sick! Fluids! Rest! Also, my pre-o temps are generally <97.8. It's pretty rare to get 98.6
@becausescience CDs?
@nitnat007 not to brag, but the weather is supposed to be great here this weekend.

@wisewitch222 happy to hear that the home report came back good! Hopefully the sellers are quick to agree to help pay for repairs.
@mrsmiller8588 yay I'm happy that you're feeling better!
@dukestar5 are you using a sweetener at all? MH drinks coffee with just cream and no sugar. So not for me!
@eliz2791 FF needs 3 days of high temps to confirm O. So it will show up on 3DPO.

fishsticks-n-custard · June 2017

@KariAnn323 Glad your allergies are better!
@Augusta108 I love going to professional meetings and that sounds like an awesome one. Free alcohol is always fun. What books did you get? Recommend any of them?
@lurvleybunchococonuts Ha the "get in my belly" literally made me laugh out loud in a crowded restaurant.
@wisewitch222 That's awesome about the home inspectors. That part of the process is always so stressful.
@dukestar5 *TW* I used Kindara with my last pregnancy and definitely like FF better. I don't know if it will let you back enter data though*end TW*
Month/Cycle: 5/2

CD: 20

WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, HIO, preseed

R/R: Rant - I have no idea what my body is doing at this point. Ugh. I'm with @becausescience I'm so impatient for O at this point.

Rave: Needed to get out of the house so having a really yummy breakfast at a local french bakery.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? I'm with @nitnat007 Speaking more than one language. It would be nice to speak several. But I just don't have one of those brains that retains foreign languages.

eliz2791 · June 2017

@wisewitch222 and @JennyColada Thanks! I'm new to using FF so I'll wait and see what it says on Friday.

nitnat007 · June 2017

@JennyColada so not cool! *stink eye*

@fishsticks-n-custard Now all I want is french bread! Enjoy!

CS/Q:nope

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? I love to be able to draw or paint portraits.

lurvleybunchococonuts · June 2017

Phew, thanks ladies, glad I'm not the only one with cooler temps, had myself worried for a moment and even googled lower than normal body temp reasons

(stupid I know but I couldn't help myself)

Image: https://media.tenor.com/images/3a446c902d64f7d1c6031061da142e42/tenor.gif

@becausescience I hear ya, I'm impatient for O too! Good luck cleaning those bad boys! I'd like to CD at least part-time (really most the time with a few exceptions) if we ever get to that point

I'll have to pick your brain for tips, etc ( @JennyColada CD = Cloth Diaper)

@nitnat007 this is my first cycle temping so I'm new to it as well

@wisewitch222 Ha! I can't dance either although I try really hard and just make a fool of myself, but who cares lol. DH always gets a laugh when I tell him he's jealous of my sweet dance moves. Glad to hear about the inspection, I hope the sellers aren't D's about it

@MrsMiller8588 Have a great day and I hope it's super productive!

@SkilledSailor I'm jealous of your ability to work from home! Have fun shopping

Darn, I think another language is hopeless for me

@dukestar5 good luck with the coffee change and have fun at the beach this weekend!

@JennyColada bad car singing is so much fun! Who cares if you're tone deaf, rock on! And thanks, I hope I'm not getting sick too! Drinking as much water as I can and plan to be as lazy as possible tonight.

@eliz2791 I'm sorry to hear about your great grandma, but yay for welcome home humping

FX your temps stay up

@fishsticks-n-custard glad to make your laugh, I'm here to entertain (and I hope at least one or two people looked at you like a crazy person, if so than my job here is done)

I'm jealous of your breakfast! I just had cold cereal

BTW, how do you like the new hair cut?

purplepelican · June 2017

**lurking from the IF thread**

@lurvleybunchococonuts My temps have always been close to the range you mentioned. Granted, I have PCOS and don't ovulate, so idk what my temps would look like if I ovulated. But I do know that pre-O (which is all the time for me) my temps are in that range. Not sure how helpful that is.... Oh, and I definitely also googled lower than normal temperatures back when I first started temping.

ETA - Maybe I do kind of fit into this daily thread since I'm always WTO? But then again, I don't ovulate....so I can't really be waiting for something that won't occur without medication (and I'm not on a medicated cycle yet). And there are definitely no TWWs for me. Obviously I'm over-thinking this.

Image: https://media.giphy.com/media/K6VhXtbgCXqQU/giphy.gif

fishsticks-n-custard · June 2017

@lurvleybunchococonuts I really like it! A little shorter than I was expecting but much cooler than my super long hair. (Before I cut it it was just below my shoulder blades and now it's just above my collar bones).

And yes, I was looked at like a crazy person!

lurvleybunchococonuts · June 2017

@beanship thanks, and that is quite the conundrum lol, I say post here or post in IF, whichever floats your fancy

@fishsticks-n-custard My hair is pretty darn long too, I'm just too lazy to do anything length wise with it. Although the bottom layer is currently teal-ish/green. I'm glad you like it, the last few hair cuts I've gotten I haven't liked so now it's just doing it's own thang. Yessss, I'm so glad I'm not the only person that gets the crazy looks for randomly bursting out laughing

The worst is when something is particularly funny and I snort or squeak. Then you REALLY look like a wacko.

LazyCrane · June 2017

Month/Cycle: 13/11

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: started OPKs today

R/R: it feels ridiculous to be doing OPKs this early since I have never ovulated before CD19, but my doctor said that clomid will occasionally change the timing of ovulation so it's better to be safe than sorry. Thank goodness for wondfos!

CS/Q:

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? I might Iike to be able to hit a golf ball. MH plays so much golf and sometimes I'd like to go with him. Not too often though.

holli0801 · June 2017

@Augusta108 that sounds like an amazing conference! I heart HRC!

@becausescience glad I'm not the only HRC fan! I am quite lucky to have met her several times... pros of growing up in Iowa!

@KariAnn323 yay for temp spike!

@lurvleybunchococonuts haha I love the nod to 'merica

@JennyColada I wish I could sing too! I like to sing, but no one likes to listen haha

R/R: just counting down to vacay... 2.5 days!

CS/Q:

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had?

i wish I was bilingual. I have tried but really suck at learning other languages. Spanish would be must helpful for my current location and career. But I'd love to be fluent in any!

dragonette505 · June 2017

@KariAnn323 That's so cool if you continue the family cross stitch tradition!
@Augusta108 Free books swag!! awesome. That sounds like my kind of conference!
@lurvleybunchococonuts I cant whistle either!
@becausescience I was sad that all those posts got deleted! It was a thing of beauty!

@nitnat007 Languages would be fun too!
@wisewitch222 some people get ovulation spotting. You don't hear about it much but I know its a thing. It really depends on where it shows up.. later in the LP it can indicate an issue with hormones. When do you normally O?
@MrsMiller8588 I am having a busy work week too! YOU CAN DO IT!

@SkilledSailor SO jelly of your work from home day!!
@dukestar5 I tried kindara but tbh, ff is easier and seems to work better. also its a platform more people use so its easier to share. I kept the kindara app and just went back to ff (this was a couple years ago). I dunno if you can back fill... I didn't even bother.
@JennyColada I have a love/hate with mobile bumping too... I wish it was easier because its usually when I'm on my phone that I have the most time to bump
@eliz2791So sorry about your gmother! FF usually take several days beyond your temp spike to give you an O. Three consecutive or if you have fall back, after the 4th usually.
@fishsticks-n-custard Hmm how many cycles have you taken notes/charted. It looks like you are just starting to get FQCM so it could be anytime soon. It may be harder to tell with the sparse temps, though with your last cycle being 32 days it makes sense that O should be around now
@beanship I'm totally lolling! I think since you don't O here is fine (love to chat with you anywhere, of course!) But you probably also fit a bunch of other places... I'm also in Infertility (since you don't O that would probably also be good) I'm also in TTCAL and who know what all else! Come join wherever you like!

@LazyCrane I'm also opk-ing now and its super early for me, but i'm using a fertility monitor and since its my first cycle with it it starts early to learn a pattern. I'm also side hustling with the wandfos... I love those little things!
@holieeileen yay for vaca! I'm off to vaca on sat! Where are you going? (I'm headed to LA)

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: benched

R/R: nope

CS/Q: nooope

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had I dunno... maybe martial arts?

holli0801 · June 2017

@dragonette505 enjoy LA!! We hope to get there or San Diego this summer. Love Cali

We are heading to North Carolina for a week on a lake with family! Super excited to relax and escape the ridiculous AZ heat.

petethecat · June 2017

Hello everyone!

@KariAnn323 Yay for a temp spike and no allergies! I hope that you have a good day at work today!

@Augusta108 I'm so glad that you enjoyed the librarian conference! It sounds like it was really awesome!

@lurvleybunchococonuts Sorry that you are feeling sick. FX that you don't end up with the plague!

@becausescience GL stripping your CDs. That does not sound like a fun job.

@nitnat007 I'm on mobile, so I can't see a big pic of your profile image. Is that a pitbull?

or some other kind of dog in your pic?

@wisewitch222 GL with getting the sellers to pay for repairs! We had the hardest time getting our sellers to agree to fix even major stuff (eventually they did) when we bought our house last year. Hopefully yours are more chill and agreeable!

@MrsMiller8588 Glad you are feeling good today! I hope that your work day is a productive one!

@SkilledSailor Um, working from home by shopping for a client by the pool?? I'll take your job please! Sounds like fun! Enjoy your day!

@dukestar5 Are you drinking your coffee black now? I used to use stevia and milk or creamer, but now I just do a little almond milk, if I want a latte, or black. It was an adjustment at first for sure, but now I don't even miss the sweet.

@JennyColada real talk girl mobile bumping is so dumb, like, really really dumb for real

@eliz2791 Haha get that sex girl! It feels good to be missed, right? FX you get a few more high temps and FF gives you those crosshairs. Also, so sorry about your grandma. Hugs.

@fishsticks-n-custard FX you O soon! Breakfast at a French bakery sounds amazeeeee...

@LazyCrane GL peeing on all the things!

@hollieileen Yeah girl, vacay! Exciting! Hope it comes quickly for you.

@dragonette505 What are you doing in LA? Have any fun things planned for your trip?

WAYDTGKU: BBT CM PNV B6 HIO

R/R: Rave- MH will be getting home later than expected today from his business trip, BUT he is driving past one of my favorite sushi places and bringing home a sushi takeout birthday dinner for me tonight! I'm looking forward to some birthday romance at home. Hopefully involving wine. And maybe watching a good movie. Also, my dad is visiting today and just went to get sandwiches for us from my favorite place. Give me all the foods please!
Rant in spoiler because *basically all the TWs* and me having way too many feels.

So, I went for my annual today at my new OB's office. Pap smear on my birthday what what!

I had to wait in the exam room forever to see the doctor. While I was waiting, I could hear the conversation from the exam going on in the next room. It was a pregnancy check up and they were using a fetal Doppler to listen to the baby's heartbeat. Y'all, I could hear that baby's heartbeat through the wall and I just lost it. It's been a few months since my loss and I've been feeling more positive and at peace with everything recently. Well, hearing that heartbeat just ripped me wide open and I just sat there and cried and cried by myself. I wasn't expecting all those emotions to come through so fast. Plus, I had to sit and tell the new OB all about my medical history and mc. Whomp whomp whomp. It has been a heavy start to my birthday to say the least and I'm so ready to have some fun and get some drinks and good food in me later.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: I wish I was more flexible and better at yoga.

JennyColada · June 2017

@dragonette505 I'm in LA! What are you going to do here?

@kbamomma33 Happy Birthday! And all the creepy internet hugs for that whopper of a spoiler.

becausescience · June 2017

@kbamomma33 *Hugs* Sorry you had a rough start to your bday.

@eliz2791 *possible TW?* I'm using Grovia Mighty Bubbles. Directions here. I need to fix my wash routine to help avoid the buildup OR just get a water softener, which would probably be easier.

lurvleybunchococonuts · June 2017

@kbamomma33 You made me tear up reading that.. all the creepy internet hugs, I'm so sorry you had to go through that and for the rough start to your day, and on your birthday no less

I hope the rest of your birthday is extra amazing!

purplg8r · June 2017

@KariAnn323 fx you get CH soon!

@Augusta108 I'm so jealous of all the books you got! We're a lot of them YA?

@lurvleybunchococonuts my temps were low last cycle and looking like it this cycle (today's was 97.02)

@becausescience what does strip you CDs mean? (I keep thinking strip your cycle days but that doesn't make sense)

@nitnat007 boo for bad weather this weekend!!

@wisewitch222 I'm glad the home inspection went well!

@MrsMiller8588 fx you get a lot of work done today!

@SkilledSailor shopping by the pool sounds amazing!

@dukestar5 have fun at the beach this weekend!

@JennyColada i am so tone deaf too!

@eliz2791 I'm so sorry about your great grandmother. Also, try adding some future fake high temps to see what FF does.

@fishsticks-n-custard yum! What did you get for breakfast?

@Stargazer1lily yay for not having to water your garden

@LazyCrane I always start opks way too early (my earliest O day is cd22) but I'm so afraid of missing it. I'd rather waste my windy on cheapies just to be safe!

@hollieileen so close to vacation!!

@dragonette505 so jealous you're going to LA! One if my fav cities!!

WAYDTGKU: PNVs & Ubiquinol

R/R: was gonna get up and run on my own today to run a little farther. My alarm went off & I had no motivation to get up so I went back to sleep. When I got up around 10:30, I went to the gym & did 3 on the treadmill.

CS/Q: my obgyn finally called back with the RE referral info. I called and made an appt for Monday (surprised I could get in so fast). I just realized the dr is male. I am suuuuuuuuuper modest and have made sure to only go to obgyns that are female. Should I call back to see if there are any appts with a female dr or am I being ridiculous?

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? Being more domestic. I wish I was good at cooking and loved cleaning. Unfortunately I suck at both.

@kbamomma33 Happy Birthday! Also, all the hugs too. Eat all the sushi and hopefully some cake or something too. Treat yourself! Sorry that it was a rough day. Hugs!
Its a pic of our chocolate lab when we first got him. He was 9 weeks old. He is passed out cold, belly up. He is nowhere near that tiny anymore at 95lbs.

@kbamomma33 happy birthday!! I'm so sorry you had a rough start! They had to be so hard. Sending you lots of hugs!

@kbamomma33 That's a rough start to your birthday. **creepy internet hugs** I hope it gets better.

@dragonette505 This is only my 2nd cycle. *TW* I have an 18 month old and had lactational amenorrhea until recently. I didn't chart before I got pregnant with her. *end TW* But I know that I always had significant amounts of EWCM, but I didn't know what it was at the time. I figure it will probably take a few more cycles before I have this better figured out.

Month/Cycle: 3/3 AL

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: bleeding

R/R: well, CD1 came 3 days early, so that's fun. Honestly better than CD1 coming tomorrow or the next day since hopefully it will be lighter by Saturday. All our friends are in town for our other friends' engagement party, folks are staying with us, etc. So it should be a fun weekend, and I'm happy I'll be able to drink.

CS/Q: nah

GTKY: What's a skill that you wish you had? Many! I wish I could dance. I wish I knew how to do more home repair stuff (but we're not even allowed to do them ourselves in our condo building). I'm jealous of all you ladies that knit/crochet. My friend IRL tried to teach me, but my fingers just don't do that. I wish I spoke another language fluently...

@purplg8r *possible TW?* Stripping CDs - cloth diapers. Getting out mineral buildup. *end*

So if anybody knows anything about water softeners HELP! So on my town's light and water utility website it says "The hardness in [my town's] water supply is approximately 21-24 grains." In my limited research anything over 10.5 grains is "very hard." So my water is twice as much as "very hard" water??!?? No wonder we are having issues.

@doxiemoxie212 Sorry to see you here

@purplg8r For your doctor, it's super important to feel comfortable with your provider. If having a male doctor is a hard issue for you, you could always call back and see if they have a female that can see you. However, if/when you do get KU, you may end up having to see a male doctor since a lot of practices and hospitals rotate providers for delivery or when you get to the point of weekly appointments in your care. It may be worth it to bite the bullet and go ahead and get comfortable with the notion of a male doc now. GL at your appt!

@nitnat007 A chocolate lab! Love!!! 95 lbs tho- what a big boy!

@doxiemoxie212 Aw man, sorry for CD1 girl. That does sound like a fun weekend to look forward to though. Enjoy all the drinks!
