R/R: yay Friday
CS/Q: temp a little higher today so I hope I get crosshairs tomorrow but this month has been rocky.
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you?
I got DH with the clear tape and rubber band on the sink sprayer.
Month/Cycle: 5/3
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Folate, Ubiquinol, DHA, RRL, Pom Juice, tracking CM and attempting CP this cycle, temping (via Ava), Preseed, HIO
R/R:
Rant: Stupid Ava still isn't working. I think it did collect data last night, but it's saying I don't have an internet connection (obviously I do! I'm talking to you ladies) and won't sync that data. Going to try again once I'm home and off the hospital Wifi.
Rave: I got 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep last night! The call room is awful, but I was so tired I didn't care.
CS/Q: Not at the moment.
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you? This is lame, but it's the only one I can think of.
The first day of medical school, when we showed up in our lecture hall, they announced "a surprise drug test." In all honesty, I'm a goody-two-shoes in that area so it didn't bother me, but there were more than a few of my classmates freaking out. When we walked in the bathroom, there was a sign saying it was a prank, fake pee to take out and instructions not to tell our classmates. It was pretty funny looking back.

CS/Q: FF gave me CHs today. Hahahaha. Go home FF, you're drunk. Because I took the night off on Monday, my temps were extra screwy. My opk was a little darker yesterday, so FX it'll be a real surge and not a fake out.
GTKY: One time when I was a teenager, my mom taped the kitchen sink sprayer handle down. She got me and then I watched my little brother get sprayed when he came in a few minutes later. This past April fool's day, I got MH in the same way! Bwahahaha!

I'm not really a pranky person. I tried to do an April Foola Day prank on my dad when I was 6 - I put a peanut butter and sandwich under his pillow while he was sleeping. He was mad because we got peanut butter and jam all over his bedding lol

@fishsticks-n-custard ugh about the Ava. Is there a chat or anything on the website where you can ask for help?
@pebbledam fx for a real surge!!
Month/Cycle: 12/8 (5/3 AL)
CD: 25
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, Ubiquinol, Pom juice
R/R: got in a good 8 mile run this morning. This afternoon we're headed to Hilton Head for a week with my family. We share a room with my brother & SIL so this EOD thing is about to get really not fun.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you? Not really a prankster. The only really pranks I've done or had done were at the ride I work at at Disney and wouldn't make sense to anyone if I tried to explain lol
Month/Cycle: 4

WAYDTGKU: pnv, WFAF2GTFO
R/R: Rant - this cold's got me all wonky. Took NyQuil for the first time ever and could NOT fall asleep last night. I was on edge and hearing every noise. Then this morning when my alarm went off I felt like I had been asleep for days and was so confused waking up. Rave - new bbt arrives today, woo!
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you? MH is suuuuper jumpy so I usually (like almost daily) just stand behind a corner until he walks around and jumps, squeals, and swears at me. It's lame but hilarious! Every time!
@pebbledam FX for a real surge yesterday and that FF will give you solid CH later so you can get some good BDing in FW!
@Dilynne don't forget that Babybel cheese
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, PNVs, BD (bang days)
R/R: Yay Friday! I'm checking lots of things off my to-do list today! Some have been on there for months. Another rave, I'm so glad I haven't been pulled over for expired registration because yes, that's been on my to-do list since March. Getting it done today.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you? I'm not very good at pranks. I giggle and give them away.
@charlestonchew That one sounds funny! And FX you get your crosshairs!
@fishsticks-n-custard Sorry Ava isn't working for you! Hopefully when you're home and rested you can figure it out.
@pebbledam I am right there with you! It's too hot.
@Dilynne Ew bus creeper. But your 6 year old prank made me laugh.
@purplg8r So jealous of your HH time! But not so jealous of EOD in a house filled with family.
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: pnv, bd, opt
R/R: Rave: It is FINALLY Friday!!! Wooooooot!
CS/Q: I've got nothin'
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you? It is not so much a prank as it is a joke I always play on my best friend. I always point and something and say "look a monkey!" and she looks. I laugh every time!!
DD: 07/19/18
EDD: 06/22/22
@Fishsticks-n-custard - Glad your 24 hour shift is almost over. Sorry the Ava is giving you such a hard time.
@pebbledam - it is so hot here too
@Dilynne - Is he touching you on purpose or accident? It would still annoy me but if it was on purpose it would increase his danger of getting his fingers broken by me
@Purplg8r - I hope you enjoy your vaction and are able to sneak in your EOD
@cards10 - I hate that feeling when you wake up. Hope you are back to feeling better soon!
Month/Cycle: 1/1

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM & PNV
R/R: I have a busy day today but I just want to chill and hang out on TB.
Chart in the spoiler box
@fishsticks-n-custard Hope your shift finishes up smoothly and you get some more rest!
@Dilynne I used to ride public transportation all the time and deal with stuff like that. There's no easy bus line to work now, and while I don't like driving daily, I don't miss issues like that!
@purplg8r I'm always so impressed with your running!
@SkilledSailor Great job with the to do list! Can you work on mine next?
@glitzandglitter Hope your busy day goes smoothly!

@cards10 Ugh I'm so sorry about the cold. I hope it GTFO soon.
@SkilledSailor Yay for productive days!
@darkstar42 A massage sounds amazing! I hope date night is fun.
@purplg8@cards10@skilledsailor @glitzandglitter Guys I made Ava work! I just had to pair and unpair several times and it finally worked!

@fishsticks-n-custard i don't think that prank is lame--it's hilarious.
@pebbledam yes--it's not too hot here but SO humid, i was waiting for the bus to work and was already dripping sweat.
@Dilynne Yes--bus people don't touch me. I would have moved if there was another spot. i can't handle people in the morning.
@purplg8r nice run and good luck with EOD...sounds like a challenge
@cards10 I hate summer colds--hopefully this weekend you can rest up.
@SkilledSailor what?? i was late on my registration by 1 week and got a ticket when i parked in a city lot one day. you must have great luck.
@glitzandglitter why is work so demanding? lurking around TB is so much more fun.
@darkstar42 what movie?
Month/Cycle: 13

WAYDTGKU: PNV, metformin, going to the gym tonight and a swim class tomorrow
R/R: finally Friday
CS/Q:n/a
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you? As a camp counselor, us girls went into the guy counselor cabin and filled the common area up with dixie cups with 1" of water. It took us forever! but was totally worth it.
@purplg8r - Oh man, what's your game plan for hio?
@cards10 - If MH was that jumpy, I'd hid around corners all the time, too! And just to clarify, I didn't get a +OPK yesterday; the test line was just darker than the day before. My body likes to fake me out a sometimes before a real surge comes along. I definitely haven't ovulated, yet.
@Steph5454 - I got into work at 2230 and then leave at 0630 and I'm sweating during that short walk. Like, the sun isn't even out or overhead. How can it be this hot when it's dark??

R/R: I know everyone says it, but I really am quite happy that it is Friday. I have a short shift tomorrow and then going to visit the ILs to celebrate DH's bday (late). Rant: how can people have no common sense? our doc is out next friday and our nurse scheduled a bunch of patients to be seen by the doc next Friday. When I questioned this she said, "well she didn't tell me not to schedule anyone." Um, she told you she will be out. How is this confusing?"
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you?
I am quite lame and don't really pull pranks, I can never think of anything. I don't know that I've ever been "pranked" either. I think I would be like Winston at pranks, either too big or too small, so I don't even try...
------------------------------------------------------------------
@charlestonchew FX for those CH soon
@fishsticks-n-custard I am really fascinated by the Ava bracelet, glad to hear you finally got it to sync. congrats on the 5 hrs of sleep in an on-call room!
@pebbledam I hope this is the real thing for you!
@purplg8r enjoy your week! sounds like some interesting HIO is in your future
@cards10 hope you kick this cold soon!
@SkilledSailor since March!?!?! I'm way too anxious for that. Glad you're getting things done today.
@glitzandglitter maybe you can reward yourself with some bump time after you complete a task? make it a win-win
@darkstar42 sounds like you have a pretty nice Friday planned, despite CD2

@pebbledamFX for a real surge!
@DilynneI hope eating only food with baby in the name works! I love your WAYDTGKUs.
@purplg8rHave fun on your vacation!
@cards10 Everytime my DH takes NyQuil he can't sleep either. But yay for your new BBT!
@SkilledSailorGood luck with your to-do list!
@glitzandglitter I feel the same way, I have a decent amount to do, but I have no motivation today.
@darkstar42 I hope you have a wonderful massage and date night!
@Steph5454 Have fun at the gym and swim class!
@AvrilmaiYay for a short shift tomorrow! And I've found that common sense isn't all that common.

R/R: Rant - WORK! They're driving me insane. Don't get pissy at me when they decide to produce and ship on the same damned day. Lab testing takes time and if we get an out of spec results no you cannot still have it anyway. I'm surrounded by idiots. Rave - Fri-YAY!!!
CS/Q: nah
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you? I'm not good at pulling off pranks, and I'm jumpy, so DH is always lurking around corners, hiding, and popping out to make me squeak.

@fishsticks-n-custard Yay for 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep! Hopefully you can get your bracelet figured out soon. I'm interested to hear more about how you like it and if it makes tracking temps, given your schedule, any easier.
@pebbledam FX the surge is real and you O a little earlier this cycle!
@Dilynne A hard nope to stranger touching on the bus.
@purplg8r Enjoy Hilton Head! That sounds so fun! Hopefully you can steal some alone time somehow and still get some timing in.
@cards10 Sorry about your cold, but yay for a new BBT! Get all the data!
@SkilledSailor It feels so good to check stuff off your list, right? Good for you for getting your registration taken care of! Yikes!
@darkstar42 Yaaaasssss a massage! Way to treat yo self.

WAYDTGKU: Well, tonight I'm not doing anything but drinking wine...
Once AF GTFO, it will be BBT, CM, PNV, B6, green tea, and I just ordered some preseed to try this cycle. Oh, and we are going for EOD timing this whole cycle. MH says that he is committed! FX that goes well.
R/R: Rant- The six month rollover happening next week, plus 2 BFNs this week has had me feeling sad. *TW It brought back a lot of feelings about my loss that I thought I had worked through, but I haven't. *TW* CD1 today was actually kind of a relief. I'm just happy not to be hoping for a BFN to turn into a BFP and to be able to focus on this next cycle.
Rave- I have a hair appointment tomorrow morning with a really great stylist! I haven't had a haircut in a year guys! I'm so excited. Plus, I finally made an appointment for a dental cleaning since I haven't had one of those since we moved last year. I'm also researching therapists this afternoon so that I can start getting help with some things that I have been struggling with. Feeling positive about that.
CS/Q: No
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you?
I don't prank and I've never been pranked. Lame, I know!
And @kbamomma33 Sorry for CD1 though
*TW* I too felt that each CD1 brought up more pain from my losses but I promise it gets easier, just not quickly */TW* Good for you to look into therapy! That will help. And cheers to EOD sex!!
@Dilynne personal space, people!!
@ajsanders-2 inside jokes are always fun!!
@glitzandglitter TB is the place to be!
@darkstar42 soooo jealous about your massage!!
@fishsticks-n-custard I'm glad you got it to work!!
@Steph5454 what kind of swim class are you taking?
@Avrilmai have fun celebrating your H!
@ChloandCoco I hope the rest of work goes by quickly!!
@lurvleybunchococonuts I hope work gets better!
@kbamomma33 so sorry about cd1! But yay about getting a haircut!
AFM:: the EOD is out the freaking window. H can't handle it. This is only the 3rd time and we went to switch positions and couldn't get started again. I'm so frustrated. I have self esteem issues so I can't help but feel that if he were more attracted to me, this wouldn't be an issue. I know in the back of my head that it's prob not the case but I can't help it. And then I haven't been using opks this cycle. I'll have to start tonight but I'm freaking out that if I was to O today or tomorrow, tonight's opks would be negative and I wouldn't know it. And I could temp but I don't want the thermometer beeping at 6am with my brother & SIL in the room. I've just got to think that my body is still like the previous 2 cycles and that I haven't O'd late yet.
@fishsticks-n-custard I'm glad you got your Ava to work! it seems like it would be really handy for folks like you who don't have a regular sleep schedule. I look forward to your review.
@SkilledSailor Yay for getting stuff done! It seems the only reason I am ever pulled over is an expired registration. Which reminds me that mine is expiring at the end of July...
@cards10 Sorry for the cold! Yay for new BBT. I have grown weirdly attached to my BBT.
@pebbledam Fx you O soon.
@lurvleybunchococonuts and @chloandcoco MH is very sneaky too and is always sneaking up on me around the house, usually even by accident because he walks like an f-ing ninja.
@darkstar42 Nice, a massage and movie sounds great.
@Avrilmai That is not a smart assistant...
@purplg8r Wow, you are going to like, the sneaky sex olympics on that vacay.
@Dilynne Your WAYDTGKU made me lol really hard. I feel like that may be as good as anything. Certainly better than baking soda finger.
@ajsanders-2 Does your friend have a thing for monkeys?
@Steph5454 That is a very dedicated prank.
@kbamomma33 I'm sorry about CD1 but I also understand the idea of it being a fresh cycle. I'm glad you're looking at getting help. Grief is not a linear progression. We can feel better and then have it come back at us without warning.
Edit because I missed someone - sorry to anyone else I missed!
Month/Cycle: 2/2 AL
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, CM, HIO, Ubiquinol, acupuncture, pre-seed...
R/R: It is Friday! This is a rave about myself: TW I have had to avoid babies since my loss when people bring babies to work, but today I actually held a visiting baby and even held it together when someone said "He's going to make you want one of your own!" I did give the baby back soon after that but I was pretty impressed with myself End TW
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you? I'm not great at pranks. The closest I come is that there are certain things (mostly funny pictures) that make MH laugh SO HARD and sometimes I send them to him just to make him burst out laughing, even when he is around groups of people. One such picture in spoiler (it is a poorly taxidermied otter):

@fishsticks-n-custard - Isn't Ava expensive? That shit better work for the price. Do they have a warranty? Is it tracking temps and heart rate at night? Sorry... so curious now.
@purplg8r -- (((HUG))) It sounds like what a lot of us go through. We often think it's because we aren't attractive enough. But I am sure it's not that at all. TTC is a freaking chore sometimes, sadly. And it can put a lot of stress on both partners. But, keep on keeping on and we will be here to bitch with you when shit hits the fan.
Month/Cycle: 3/3

WAYDTGKU: CoQ10, PNV, Metformin, Sex EOD, green tea, more water consumption and low carb, CM, Cervix checks
R/R: Today has been hard. My husband got released from his job a few weeks ago because his brother was part owner and left the company. The other owner basically was like "he's your brother. you have to go too." Illegal? Yes. So then we were like... "just pay our commissions and we are outta here..." Commissions were due this morning. Nothing. So now we have to get an attorney and file a law suit.
Meanwhile I am just a middle school teacher. I have never had to deal with the type of stuff and I am freaking out and upset.
CS/Q: No
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you?
In college all my friends pulled a prank on me because I was the queen of pranks. They flipped my dorm. Everything that was on the floor they put up on desks and beds and all my stuff that was hanging up (curtains, bed sheets, etc) were hidden. All my clothes were gone.
My voice mail was changed to basically include a ransom letter and everyone had different items which I had to seek out during the day.
All this was done while one of my friends "took me for a jog." I HATE RUNNING but she conned me into it and then just kept running me around campus and I was miserable.
ha. They did good.

@garnetandgoldgrace That job situation sounds so stressful! Fx it gets resolved without too much trouble.
@cards10 I hope you get some better sleep tonight too!
@Dilynne Your posts always put a smile on my face. And I laughed out loud about the PBJ sandwich in bed. Classic! I bet your dad was really amused by that one.
@darkstar42 Enjoy your massage and date night!
@Steph5454 The swim class sounds neat. Is it water aerobics or something else?
@kbamomma33 Yes to drinking wine! And yes to a hair appt tomorrow...that always makes me feel better. And creepy internet hugs. I am sorry.
@garnetandgoldgrace So sorry about all of the drama with YH leaving that position. What a pain for you all! So frustrating.
@ChloandCoco Enjoy dinner out with your friend!

Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: waiting right now, and sulking a little because I really had high hopes about the last cycle (but I've had some white wine, so I'm feeling a little better now)
R/R: (Rant): What can I say? It's cycle day 1. Temp drop this morning. AF later today. It's been an emotional past few days with PMS symptoms. And on top of it, this cycle is the shortest one I've ever had--only 29 days...also I just realized that DH will be out of town during FW in September, so I am putting my hopes in this next month!!!
(Rave): Spent some time baking today and I am enjoying some white wine now
CS/Q: Can someone tell me more about pom juice? It is intended to build up the uterine lining? And do you just buy the Pom Wonderful brand? Also, I am curious is there is a brand of green tea that people enjoy (for increasing CM).
GTKY: What is the funniest prank you've ever pulled on someone or has been pulled on you?
I am awful at pulling pranks, but my DH is the prank master!
@zamora_spin That otter made me burst out laughing too.
@garnetandgoldgrace I got it for $180. Yeah, it better work. It does temperature and heart rate monitoring. I'm hoping its a solution to my weird temping situation. I play on selling it on ebay should I every find myself in a situation that I don't need it anymore.
@lurvleybunchococonuts Heck yeah, vodka lemonade. I am enjoying a homemade mojito.
@dukestar5 Sorry for CD1. Emergency medicine. Helpful in the zombie apocalypse. Not so much in the making babies department.

@garnetandgoldgrace I'm so sorry about your H's job! That's totally shitty on them!
@dukestar5 so sorry about cd1. And I don't know exactly how it does it but yup, I drink Pom wonderful.
@pebbledam @kbamomma33 @garnetandgoldgrace @Avrilmai @Steph5454 @fishsticks-n-custard thanks for all your kind words. TTC is such a mind fuck. I did an OPK tonight and not even close to darkish so pretty sure I haven't O'd yet. And I do feel better when POAS since I hate not knowing if I O'd or not. I decided to compromise. I'll do opks and then temp if/when I get a positive
