3. R/R?
4. GTKY: What historical time period do you think you'd fit best in and why?

Re: TTCAL Week of 7/24
2. Status: 6dpo, but benched (whomp, whomp) until I see a totally normal cycle. Hopefully that'll be this cycle! We'll just have to see if I get the weird bleeding again at the end of AF in a couple weeks, and if not...it. is. on.
3. R/R? My garden (flowers, not food) is blooming beautifully! That's all I've got...boring week, lol.
4. I would have rocked the 1970's: the music, the fashion, the second wave feminism...
2. CD 9
3. Just trying to get a bit of BDing in before O. My RE wants me to start tracking again so I'm trying to get back into that routine. I gave up on trying all of the tips and tricks online on how to get KU asap. But someone shared to my endo group this theory of taking Benadryl for a few days during the implantation window. I guess there are some schools of thought that with endo, it tends to kill sperm and embryos and that this might have that immune response. Tons of people came forward saying that it worked for them and a doctor that contributes to the group agreed that there might be something to it. Since Benadryl is safe for pregnancy, I feel like I have nothing to lose.
4. Hmmm...that's a hard one. I love a lot of different eras. I always think it would be fun to live in the 60s so that I could be a housewife like Samantha from bewitched. Although I mostly just want magical powers. Lol. Then DH reminds me of all of the racism and sexism and how it wasn't that great of a time for women. He's such a spoil sport. Mostly I just don't want to have to work and I can use my magic for chores! Lol
ETA:
1. Not new. 1st MC in April at 7w5d. 2nd MC this past weekend at 5w2d.
2. In the trenches, currently mc'ing
3. Lots to rant about right now but I'll spare you all from my anger. Why me, what did I do to deserve this, this is so not fair, etc. Im sure you can all understand. I do also have a rave. Once a year I organize a huge event to bring about 300 women together to celebrate being strong healthy active women and fundraise for a teen mentoring program that focuses on healthy eating, active lifestyles and positive self image. It was a smashing success and a ton of fun. That was Saturday and thankfully I didn't start to MC until Sunday morning so I was able to enjoy the day.
4. Is it ok to just pick the 80's. I could listen to 80's love ballads all day long.
@MooFish2364 Ooh... hadn't heard about the Benadryl. Now I'm contemplating taking some tonight... because why the hell not? I'd heard about taking Mucinex around O to help make CM more hospitable. I really wish there was better research on this stuff.
@40momma I feel ya. My NMC last year was tough, but I kept telling myself it was a fluke and once I got KU again everything would be ok. So in a lot of ways my CP this month was more difficult emotionally. I just have to keep reminding myself that there's nothing I did wrong. There are lots of wonderful people who do everything they can and still struggle with fertility and lots of horrible people that proliferate no matter what they do. It's all just dumb luck. But man it sucks to be on the crappy side of the statistics.
AFM:
1. New poster within the past month. NMC 11/2016 at 7W, CP 7/2017 at 4W.
2. Who the hell knows?! Gave myself the month off from testing, but have been using CB OPKs. That smiley has been blinking for the past 8 days. I think it's just mocking me with its smug little face. I usually O around CD15, which was last week, so I'm going with that.
3. R/R Rant: see above. Never again will I "take a break" from temping. It has increased my BSC by 1000x. Rave: My MIL gave us some furniture last weekend and kept pressing DH to take her old toddler bed. He politely declined the first few times and then finally said "we don't have a toddler and I'm not bringing anything home that might remind my wife of that and make her cry." Love that man! He's always got my back.
4. After last week the only time periods I'd want to live in would have to have AC! Maybe the 60s so I could go see some of the awesome musicians I love that have since passed away. Also, I wouldn't have this massive student loan debt if I'd gone to college then!
2. Status? CD 1. Waiting for RE to call back in supposed to have an US on CD 1,2 and 3 before new rounds of meds and injections start
3. R/R?just mad that AF arrived and that I'm not KU
4. GTKY: What historical time period do you think you'd fit best in and why? 80s I'm with you @40momma
@rosemaryandthyme I hope this cycle is better for you
@MooFish2364 I haven't heard about Benadryl. I like your idea of not working and having magical powers
@leahcimmichael I hate student loan debt too!
@MooFish2364 I love Bewitched!!! I would love some magic for chores!!
@leahcimmichael AC is def a must!! Altho it's like 60* here today! Wouldn't even know it's summer!
1. Def not new. Been here on and off since Nov.
2. TWW
3. Two days of rain and I'm over it. I want the hot weather back!!
4. I think I would only go back to the 80s as well. I have a lot of good memories and wouldn't mind going back. I also do love visiting historical places and would love to see how people used to live.
@40momma I still am just so sorry that you are back here
@leahcimmichael Yes! Totally a nod to good ol' S&G (along with some other meanings)...I read it in the melody of the song, too. If I ever get banned, look for my return as parsleysage
@Mack2342 Ugh, CD1 blows. I hope your RE has some good input and you have success this next cycle.
@sprkls8506 I'm getting better with plants each season. I'd say I have an army green thumb...half-way between brown and green
@leahcimmichael the article said to take 25mg. (one pill) 3x a day. She started on 4DPO and continued to take it for 6 days. There were a lot of success stories on the site.
@Mack2342 sorry for af. Hoping that everything goes smoothly and this upcoming round of treatment works for you!
@sprkls8506 I love history and visiting historical places. I so wish i was a timelord like Doctor Who and could simiply visits wherever I wanted whenever I wanted.
@rosemary&thyme I wish I could find the link to the article. I will have to look through fb again to see if I can find the original post. I would love me some fab 70s hair! Bring on the aqua net! Lol
3. R/R? I'm getting very bored of this Summer thing. I wish the weather would chill out and I would have something to do every day. I can help but keep thinking that it would be the perfect time to be a SAHM with my EDD back in May, but instead I'm twiddling my thumbs.
4. GTKY: What historical time period do you think you'd fit best in and why?
I'm on board with the time traveler thing. I don't think I'd want to go back somewhere with less equality and understanding on a permanent basis.
2. CD4.
3.rave: it finally cooled down in KY so the past two days I got to run farther and in the afternoon instead of morning.
4. Not sure, this was the theme of my bachelorette party. I was the 90s for it.
@40momma so sorry to see you back. Try not to feel guilty, I took a human development class and basically the book said before 6 or 7 weeks, as long as you aren't doing hardcore drugs or binge drinking every night, there is very little effect on the baby.
@rosemaryandthyme I had a beautiful flower garden at the beginning of the summer but the heat has really killed it the last two weeks. I planted these annuals 3 years ago and they have come back and grown over 4 feet tall thanks to rabbit poop fertilizer.
@Mack2342 sorry about a.f.
@allowachick where do you live? I love the summer but hate the middle of the summer where it's too hot to go outside. Sunday at 5 a.m. our heat index was 95. WTF?
@leahcimmichael I grew up in the late 80s. We had no a/c. I didn't have central air until 2012. I don't remember this bothering me as a child.
Glad you got to run farther!
@rosemaryandthyme I find gardening very therapeutic, but I wouldn't say I have a green thumb. We are currently playing chicken with some weed covered areas in our yard. Hoping to have some landscaping work done, but thinking about waiting until next year finance wise. I just don't want to go through all the trouble dealing with it myself if we are going to have it torn out soon.
@MooFish2364 the Benadryl thing sounds super interesting. If you wanted to post the article if you see it again, many of us might want to take a look.
@leahmichael I am with you on the 60's except for the inequality factor. But I am totally fine sweating out the summer.
1. Sorta new still. Term loss April 2017 to placental abruption.
2. Status - Technically still benched. I am waiting out my "cycles" for something to look normal. This last one is getting closer for sure. I think I just O'd yesterday or the day before. Not tracking anything necessarily, just guessing right now and judging by CM. But, after our vacation in late August we are thinking we will be trying again. Sigh.
3. R/R Rant- my job is just destroying me right now. I am swamped and starting to notice the stress taking its toll on my anxiety levels. I need to get back to an acupuncture schedule again or at least find a way to deal with this a little better. Rave - Date night tonight and tomorrow night with hubby. DD is with grandparents for a couple days.
4. I think I have always been a hippy at heart, so I am going with late 60's....Specifically attending Woodstock in 1969 would have been so fun.
@Mack2342 - sorry about your timing, that really sucks. Is there a chance DH can go with you to the event? The timing of all of this TTC is really frustrating. We planned a trip for late fall then found out I was pg, EDD Dec 5 so we cancelled, then I mc, then we started talking about another trip in the winter then I got pg again but mc. I feel like I can't plan what I'm going to do next weekend 'cause I have no idea what my darn body will be doing.
@Mack2342 I hope this is your lucky month!
i just saw yet another pregnancy announcement on FB. I'm happy of course but still bummed. The friend has a DD same age as mine she's due with #2 in March. Thants ok we will get another dog this fall I tell myself.
he didn't say no... but I know it won't happen for a while. THis CD1 hit me hard this time. It would have been an edd of early April just before my 35th birthday. I know it dosent matter that much but I've had a hard date of having my first by the time I'm 35. I hate it but I know DH is right when he says, things will happen the way they should when they are supposed to happen....
Below is our Gabby when I got her 9 years ago. I was going thru a transition in my life. I had been married before and it did not work out. I moved into my parents house and picked up the pieces so to speak and was about ready to move out of their house when my mom convinced me to look at dogs. We found a litter 2 hours away and I was just going to please my mom. Well there were 5 puppies left. I sat down on the floor and this one just came up to me and sat in my lap and looked up at me with those eyes. I could not say no. we've been going strong ever since. It use to be just me and her before I met DH.
