  • @zamora_spin - I love my half brother with my whole heart. <3 Sorry for CD1 and the cramps.
    @leahcimmichael - I haven't talked to my biological father in 15 years, but trust me when I say they were not meant to be together.
    @lurvleybunchococonuts - That gif sums up how my period was this cycle.
    @SkilledSailor - This stupid headache gets better with excedrin, but won't completely go away. Hopefully some major hydration and decent sleep today will help.

  • @zamora_spin aww that sounds like a lot of fun!  RE blended families, I hear ya, growing up in one is super hard as a kid, but I wouldn't want to trade my half brother.  He's a good kid :)  And my step mom is pretty awesome too.  *tw* growing up in a blended family I think definitely helps with DSD too *end tw*

    @leahcimmichael Aww wow 39 years!  Congrats to them :)

    @SkilledSailor YES, this week is going super slow for me.  Apparently it's only Wednesday, I thought it was Thursday :(

  • @pebbledam Sorry about your headache! Hopefully it goes away soon!

    @zamora_spin Sorry about CD1! My H paints models as a hobby, too. In fact, most Saturdays there's a group of grown men painting miniatures at my dinning room table well into the night. What kind of models does he paint?

    @leahcimmichael Yay for flashing smiley! FX it's the real deal!

    @lurvleybunchococonuts Sorry about AF, but all that food sounds delicious. Was your chart clear, or is it possible that FF got you O date wrong?

    @SkilledSailor Your story/gif made me laugh


    Month/Cycle: 4/2

    CD: 6

    WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT, tracking CM & CP, Pom Juice, Clomid

    R/R: No clomid side effects so far, so hopefully it stays that way! Other than that, I really need to find some motivation to get things done today, becasue I'm just not felling it. 

    CS/Q: Nope

    GTKY: Were your parents ever married? If so, are they still married? 
    My parents are still married. They have a strong marriage, but they're very religious, so I don't think they'd get divorced even if they didn't.

  • @cards10 - For the sake of science, wait for your new bbt. I actually don't start temping until CD6 or so because temps during AF can be rather erratic. 
    @Cricket648 - I'm glad to hear that you aren't haven't any side effects, yet. FX they stay away!

  • @cards10 I'd hold off until the new one comes. Missing a few day won't hurt, and I don't think you're supposed to swtich thermometers mid-cycle.

    Married: 10/2013

  • @pebbledam @Cricket648 Thanks! I'll for sure hold off then
  • @cards10 I think you can wait to start temping since AF, unless you have a like a super short cycle.  I started temping on day 7 I think last cycle (1st cycle temping). :( sorry about the roommate parents.  My in-laws seem that way most days too.  They both say, if only we had enough $ to get divorced, or if only they had made different decisions in life.  Makes me sad.

    @Cricket648 I think it was pretty clear cut (see spoiler) 7/4 I woke up/temped late 6:30 , and 7/5 was sleep deprived/drinking the previous night which is why they're open circles.  Good luck getting motivated today!

  • @cards10 and @ajsanders-2 sorry CD1 came for you guys too. 
    @Cricket648 MH paints models for 40K aka Warhammer. He has sooo many models and he gets them sometimes in rough shape so he also spends time gluing them back together. Grown adult men are frequently at our house painting models or gaming (both 40K and D&D). What does YH paint? 
    @elisek Thanks! The watercolors I have are very basic but I really liked using them. Gl!

  • @zamora_spin Mostly 40K, but also Flames of War. He also got into making model boats (not for a game, just for the hell of it) for a short time.

    @zamora_spin, @Cricket648Hi my friends and wives of nerdy husbands!  :p MH also paints minatures for 40K. He spends more time painting and putting them together than he does playing with the damn things!

  • @lurvleybunchococonuts first of all that combo of your blood-flood gif and then comment about making cherry jam and pie is slightly... disturbing lol :D And yeah my parents acting as roommates has been kind of hard to see. They get along fine when we're all together but they just seem annoyed by each other. And they never communicate with each other (I have to text or call both of them instead of relying on them to talk to each other). I think it started when my sister and I moved out and they didn't know how to be together without kids anymore. It's sad that your ILs are talking about divorce. I guess whatever is best but man I'm surprised they're so open about it, and how openly disappointed they are that they can't do it. That is sad, and must be awkward. 

    @ajsanders-2 sorry to see you here as well :( this wasn't a great week for our TWW crew so far. Glad you have such great support though!

    @elisek yeah I've noticed AF temps are typically high so I'll wait, thanks. I too love when my chart looks nice ;) And I absolutely LOVE temping and charting *TW* I did it previously TTC *end TW* I also think it gives me something to understand and trust instead of just hoping and wishing. It was MH who wasn't a fan; feeling like I was too regimented and obsessed and taking the fun out of HIO. So I was trying to resist and not temp for a while. But I'm totally jumping back on that bandwagon in a hurry this cycle! I think I just won't bring it up to him and hope he'll sleep through the bbt and won't even notice ;)
  • @pebbledam @Cricket648 Yes, MH totally spends more time on painting and gluing than actually playing. We recently went through and re-organized the main floor of our house and our garage, which is now very neatly filled with shelves and shelves of 40K stuff. MH has gotten pretty good at the painting - he has even started using an airbrush sometimes. It's a great hobby for him because he finds it very relaxing. 
  • @pebbledam I hope you headache goes away! 
    @zamora_spin & @cards10 Sorry about CD1. :( Cramps are the worst for me right now!
    @leahcimmichael Yay! Woot, woot! GL!
    @lurvleybunchococonuts Homemade jam!
    @SkilledSailor This week is going by super slow! A lot of them feel like that lately!
    @elisek Hmm...maybe I need to invest in the pixi glow as well!
    @fishsticks-n-custard Might be a dumb question, but what is an Ava bracelet?

  • @elisek thanks, I have to go get PNV's today anyhow, so maybe I'll take a look for Vit B complex & red raspberry leaf tea while I'm there.  Glad to hear that it's not "uneheard of" to have LPs vary like that.  Everything I read was like it'll always be +/- 1 day.  

    @SkilledSailor I <3 Moana too :D  Hei Hei (the chicken) made me bust our laughing so hard when I first saw it.

    @cards LMAO, I didn't intend for those two topics to be side-by-side, but now I'm kinda glad it happened that way :D  Yeah, my In-Laws baffle me.  My FIL says we need to move and get a place with another bedroom so he can get away from MIL.  But one day they act happy, or at least content together.  And then the next they can't stand each other.  It's like their happy making each other miserable?  It makes no sense to me.  They just celebrated their 40th anniversary a few months ago, but they both (individually) have told me more than once how they'd do xyz over again, or how they wish they had made different decisions in the past. It's really sad.  Some of it comes off as "joking" but there's an underlying discontent. I think they both have been together for so long they wouldn't know what to do without one another at this point.

  • I've been so busy with work, I've had a hard time getting back on in the afternoon to check back in on the thread.


    @SkilledSailor I think our mom's had just about the same story lol

    @elisek Congrats for your parents! That's such a cute story.

    Month/Cycle: 3/3

    WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, FF

    R/R: still reluctantly debating between washer and dryers... I'm starting to think I may just go back to a front load vs top load  :/  who knows.

    CS/Q:none

    GTKY: Were your parents ever married? If so, are they still married?
    My parents were married when my mom was 7 months with my brother. They were engaged when she got pregnant. They divorced when I was 2 and are both very happily remarried. Both remarried when I was in high school. My grandparents were all divorced and re married, except for my dad's parents. They stayed single after divorce. Needless to say my brother and I are hoping to break that cycle with our generation. So far so good, but he's also not married yet! lol

  • @ajsanders-2 not a stupid question! It's a wearable basal body thermometer. Temping wasn't working for me for a variety of reasons so I'm hoping this will be a solution. https://www.avawomen.com/

    @pebbledam sorry youre having a headache!
    @zamora_spin I'd love to see the results of the painting. Ive been thinking about taking a watercolor class with my mom
    @leahcimmichael yay for the pos opk!
    @lurvleybunchococonuts that gif!
    @SkilledSailor LOL I guess your mom and dad didn't want to make it sound like you were the reason for the wedding? Id be suspicious too! :)
    @Cricket648 So glad youre not having any side effects, I hear they can be rough!
    @fishsticks-n-custard night shift temping must be a beast :(
    @elisek so cute your parents were HS sweethearts!


    CD: 32 I guess :/

    WAYDTGKU:


    R/R: so FF gave me crosshairs (retroactively) even though my doc said she didn't think I O'd so what the hell!?!?


    CS/Q: I'll throw my chart in down below (if I can spoiler it) and I dunno... maybe it makes some sense?

    GTKY: Were your parents ever married? If so, are they still married? Yup... my parents were married till I was a teenager though they separated when I was 10 so my dad could go live with his secretary and raise her kids....nice. Love them both but obviously I'm much closer to my mom :)

    chart below for any stalkers
    ETA... could not get the spoiler to work for just this image (only know how to do it on mobile!!! waaaaaaa)

  • @zamora_spin @pebbledam Yep, put MH in the "spends more time painting than playing" club. I'm not sure I can remember when the last time he actually played was, but it's been a while. He also finds it really relaxing, and occasionally pretty infuriating (like when he paints and strips a model 5 times, because it's just not "right").  

    @dragonette505 I'm sorry your chart is so confusing! It could really go either way. FX that your temps stay high!

  • @dragonette505 hmm that shift isn't as clear, that's tough. I can see why FF chose CD25 given the temp rise with fertile CM. The temp dip after that is making me consider CD29 as well. What is the MON being tracked? That shows a few fertile days after FF O date. 
  • @lurvleybunchococonuts I have no idea why, but that gif with the talk of homemade cherry jam right after just made me giggle. @cards10 Missing those first few days won't be a big deal, and it would definitely be better to use the same thermometer throughout your cycle, so I would just wait until you get the new one. @elisek Oooooooh I have been contemplating getting the Pixi Glow Tonic so please let me know if you think it helps!! @dragonette505 I guess I can see why FF would have given you CHs, but I wouldn't trust it.

    GTKY: Were your parents ever married? If so, are they still married? Yes, and they were married till my dad passed when I was 15. My mom has since remarried, and I assume they're happy. She and I haven't spoken or seen each  other for about 4 years.
