Also, my in-laws have a tendency to talk to us about "when you have kids", so MH let them know that we are ttc and unsuccessful so far, so that they would stop. I'm glad they'll stop with the comments, but I tend to be a pretty private person, and it makes me uncomfortable to have them know.

@fishsticks-n-custard Get it with that EWCM lady! FX you get a + OPK soon and can get in some good HIO time!
@Augusta108 It sounds like you have an awesome day planned! Have a safe trip and enjoy it!
@nitnat007 It sounds like yesterday was awesome- ladies night drinks followers by dinner cooked by your man FTW!
@dragonette505 Oh boo. Sorry about the aggravated injury. I hope that you are feeling better soon.
@izza2 Yuck. Heavy AF days are the worst. Find some way to treat yo self today!
@Cricket648 I feel you hard on the wallpaper removal struggles. Our house was/is covered in wallpaper. We are slowly removing it, but it's in basically every room. We have had great luck using a steamer, but it might not be worth it if you only have a little bit to do. GL!
@ajsanders-2 Sorry to hear you missed the showing. That is so frustrating. I hope you are able ot get it rescheduled soon!
I hope things go well tonight @kbamomma33@pebbledam Not going to lie, but your R/R has me a little nervous...

Ugh! @AliW220 Bad AF! I hate the AF fakeout. Happened to me this time too (TMI of course i was wearing white undies ) @kbamomma33 Every room wallpapered is so extra! lol Im adding some accent (grasscloth) wallpaper for a bedroom project, but i would never do everywhere! lol @Stargazer1lily Those chickens have your number! They know whats up... or maybe they are like me and not doing so well in the egg laying department! lol @Pinky917 This enforced vaca thing is the pits.... unpaid i bet! How did you get a pic of my life as your gif??? lol

It helps me destress so much! @glitzandglitter fingers crossed for a temp rise @_darth thay sucks about your temps. Mine were really rocky last cycle and I didn't get CH until CD 21 with ovulating on CD 18 @fishsticks-n-custard yay for EWCM! @augusta108 have fun today @nitnat007 sounds like a really nice day for you yesterday @dragonette005 oh no! Feel better @izza2 my OB said that taking Motrin a few days before AF helps reduce heavy bleeding and cramps @cricket648 good luck with removing the border @labgrand2012 enjoy your long weekend @darkstar42 I totally feel you on the privacy thing. We haven't told either of our parents that we are TTC. @aliw220 ugh! AF needs to get it together!
@dragonette505 – Ouch, sounds sore. But barre….super cool!
@izza2 – The first cycle back is always the worst! I had the
same when I had my IUD removed.
@Cricket648 – He made bbq steak, mashed potatoes and a broccoli/edamame/black
bean side. Really good. And I get leftovers for lunch! Spoilt, I know! Enjoy
those last two days and good luck with that bathroom. It sounds awful.
Sometimes I don’t know what people are thinking. I had red carpet in the
basement when we bought. With tacky gold fixtures. It was like a bad 70’s porn
set.
@labgrand2012 - I hear you! I would hire a chef too. I love
to bake. Hate to cook. My diet falls apart when DH goes to sea. Enjoy your Bon
Jovi Friday!
@darkstar42 – Sounds like you might need a massage! I feel
the same about telling people we are ttc. I am very private too. I just want to
set the goals and smash them on our own, so to speak. Hugs!
@AliW220 – Sorry you are frustrated. But I just envisioned
you yelling at your lady parts and then getting a response. So bad….. but I had
to laugh. DH made bbq steak, mashed potatoes and a broccoli/edamame/black bean
side. I am going to keep him!
@kbamomma33 We actually tried a steamer. I think part of the problem is that it's on like a vinyl sheet thing, so the boarder itself comes right off, but adhesive won't budge. Eventually we'll remove the vinyl and replace it with tile or something, but for now I settle for removing the boarder and repainting.
@nitnat007 Mmmm sounds delicious! Oh man, that description for your basement sounds hilarious! We saw a good amount of terrible decorating while we were looking at houses.
R/R: Rant: I set up four interviews to hire new movers this week. Zero showed up! So it was just me and the head mover today. I'm exhausted. Rave: It's Thursday! Tomorrow is full of fun things and I'm done with major work for the day.
CS/Q: What are yall's thoughts on the digital OPKs? I've had three days of what looks like positive OPKs on the wondfos which seems unlikely to be actually happening.
GTKY: Post a gif, meme, or other visual that describes your mood today.
@ajsanders-2 Oh man! That's so frustrating about the apartment!
@kbamomma33 Hope everything goes well at your initial meeting tonight!
@dukestar5 Aw yoga with your bestie sounds like a great hump day activity! It's nice to be able to share activities with your bff.
@_darth Sorry about your wonky cycle. You seem to be handling it well.
@Augusta108 Ooh have fun on your adventure! It sounds like fun!
@dragonette505 Ouch! Sorry to hear about your old injury. And thank you for your thorough answer to my rentals question yesterday! I'm going to try and talk to my parents about it more. We have some time to decide.
@Cricket648 Ugh ugly wall paper. GL with that today!
@darkstar42 Sorry about your rough day. You gif made me laugh though.
@SkilledSailor I usually get 3 days of positive OPKs, but the timing is less than 48 hours. For instance: Monday: 8am -, noon -, 5pm + Tuesday: + all day Wednesday: 8am +, noon -, 5pm -
(and yes, sometimes I test a bazillion times a day because I love to waste OPKs lol)
Have yours been darker than the control or just the same color as?
*lurking* @SkilledSailor I usually get three days of positive OPKs, but the 2nd day is a lot darker than the control line whereas the 1st and 3rd day are equal to the control. I've heard that with wondfos you need to test a couple of times a day and compare them to the previous test to determine when the peak happened.
@doxiemoxie212@ChloandCoco Thank you ladies! I've been testing multiple times a day but yet to catch it darker than control line. They've all been about the same as the control, with the latest one being slightly lighter.
@dragonette505 Amazingly I will actually get paid for two weeks of it, and anything after that is either unpaid or I use my own leave. I just keep hoping that this ends up being cleared up by the two week mark since that would pretty much be an ultimate win! However, that is not looking too good, and it looks like I may be out for the majority of August.
@skilledsailor I always had some trouble getting a truly positive wondfo, so after a while I started using CB digitals as a confirmation.
@ajsanders-2 - I hope you can get in to see the apartment soon! @kbamomma33 - GL at your appointment tonight! FX that you and the therapist are able to mesh well! I bought cookies at the store when I bought tampons and stuff for dinner, haha. I may have eaten 4 of them already. @dukestar5 - Have fun at yoga! What type of muffins are they? @_darth - Keeping everything crossed that you'll O this cycle *hugs* @fishsticks-n-custard - EWCM FTW! @dragonette505 - Sorry for the re-injury! I hope you can heal up quick! @Cricket648 - GL with getting the border off! The lady who owned our house before we bought it had horrible taste, so we've had to fix her choices slowly but surely. The dining room is a horrible pink colour, the kitchen was purple, the den is a dull yellow, and the bathroom is bright green. Oh, and I think the outside of the house was purple, too? I don't remember. That was the first thing we painted. @AliW220 - I was definitely spoiled with the withdrawal bleeding from the patch and pill - it gradually got lighter the longer I used them, so now all I picture is my uterus pointing at me and laughing right now. Side note - I just fell down a rabbit hole of uterus memes trying to find a gif/meme of a uterus pointing and laughing. Woah. @Pinky917 - I'm sorry about the forced vacation. I'm glad you get paid, though! FX it's only for the two weeks! @mileswithmyles - Thank you! I used to start taking Pamprin/Midol the day before I expected my period to help with the cramping, and I may start going back to that. @SkilledSailor - Sorry about the movers!
@kbamomma33. GL at the therapist! @izza2@Cricket648. Another one here with previous owner's awful paint choices. 3 different colors of hot pink, neon green, neon teal, pale yellow, dusty blue, and contractor tan. @Stargazer1lily. Now I am so curious where you michevious chickens have been laying eggs! @darkstar42. YES to your GIF.
Month/cycle: 1/2 CD:7 WATDTGKU: PNV, matcha, RRL tea, CM, FF, OPKs & the sex soon. CS/Q: R/R: A friend sent me a code for a free box of Blue Apron. I'm totally stoked to try it! GTKY:
@fishsticks-n-custard --Might be a TMI type question, but do you attribute all of EWCM to anything specific or do you normally have a lot during your cycle? (My last few cycles have hardly had any EWCM and before that I did have it...so this cycle I'm trying green tea just to see if it helps).
@Augusta108 Enjoy the road trip to Hurricane Ridge. Is it a hiking spot?
@labgrand2012 Yay for an early start to your weekend. Hope you get to relax!
@darkstar42 That would make me somewhat uncomfortable for my ILs to know too. They are lovely people, but I am pretty private. Also, yes, I am trying the mint green tea...I think my dislike comes from the fact that I gave up putting stevia in coffee and tea...and now these drinks are not quite as enjoyable.
@SkilledSailor I was easily confused by wofondos, but I think the Clear Blue Digital OPKs (not the advanced, just the one with the open circle or smiley) work well. They are more expensive, but I usually just use them for the 2-3 days when I anticipate O.
@Stargazer1lily Chickens!! Awesome. Trying to convince DH we need a chicken coop.
@dukestar5 Honestly, I have had a lot in the past, just none since we started TTGP this time around. I did green tea this cycle too so I don't know if it helped or not or something going on with my hormones this cycle *TW* LO has cut down on nursing a lot*end TW*

WAYDTGKU: temps, cm, opks
R/R: Owie. My neck and shoulders are still killing me. Also, my in-laws have a tendency to talk to us about "when you have kids", so MH let them know that we are ttc and unsuccessful so far, so that they would stop. I'm glad they'll stop with the comments, but I tend to be a pretty private person, and it makes me uncomfortable to have them know.
CS/Q: Nope. Temps have been a bit lower than usual and much more consistent than usual this cycle. That could just be that I'm doing a better job temping at the same time each morning.
GTKY: Post a gif, meme, or other visual that describes your mood today.
CD: actually day 1 this time guys.
WAYDTGKU: not enough...
R/R: rant - this last week has been super stupid. Thought AF was starting, but ended up only being spotting. Then nothing. Until this morning at work, of course. This past cycle has me screaming profanities at my lady parts... you're regular until you're not.

@pebbledam Hugs for the rough night at work last night.
@dukestar5 Oh haaiii CD friend! Yoga with a bestie sounds so fun! I hope that you enjoyed it! I love your gif! If you want to post it so that it shows the actual gif, instead of the link, you would just post that same link in the image box here:
Then, hit the space bar and the image should show up in your text box before you hit post.
@glitzandglitter FX you see that temp spike soon!
@_darth Enjoy your outdoor time today! We are doing the same. Being outside on a nice day is such a mood booster.
@fishsticks-n-custard Get it with that EWCM lady! FX you get a + OPK soon and can get in some good HIO time!
@Augusta108 It sounds like you have an awesome day planned! Have a safe trip and enjoy it!
@nitnat007 It sounds like yesterday was awesome- ladies night drinks followers by dinner cooked by your man FTW!
@dragonette505 Oh boo. Sorry about the aggravated injury. I hope that you are feeling better soon.
@izza2 Yuck. Heavy AF days are the worst. Find some way to treat yo self today!
@Cricket648 I feel you hard on the wallpaper removal struggles. Our house was/is covered in wallpaper. We are slowly removing it, but it's in basically every room. We have had great luck using a steamer, but it might not be worth it if you only have a little bit to do. GL!

@nitnat007 That gif! lol
@labgrand2012 yay for today being your Friday!
@darkstar42 I hate that you even had to tell them anything to make them stop. Ugh!
@AliW220 Bad AF! I hate the AF fakeout. Happened to me this time too (TMI of course i was wearing white undies )
@kbamomma33 Every room wallpapered is so extra! lol Im adding some accent (grasscloth) wallpaper for a bedroom project, but i would never do everywhere! lol
@Stargazer1lily Those chickens have your number! They know whats up... or maybe they are like me and not doing so well in the egg laying department! lol
@Pinky917 This enforced vaca thing is the pits.... unpaid i bet! How did you get a pic of my life as your gif??? lol

@ajsanders-2 ugh! That sucks!
@kbamomma33 good luck tonight
@pebbledam did you see someone do that this morning? That's crazy!
@dukestar5 I started doing yoga at home the beginning of this year. It helps me destress so much!
@glitzandglitter fingers crossed for a temp rise
@_darth thay sucks about your temps. Mine were really rocky last cycle and I didn't get CH until CD 21 with ovulating on CD 18
@fishsticks-n-custard yay for EWCM!
@augusta108 have fun today
@nitnat007 sounds like a really nice day for you yesterday
@dragonette005 oh no! Feel better
@izza2 my OB said that taking Motrin a few days before AF helps reduce heavy bleeding and cramps
@cricket648 good luck with removing the border
@labgrand2012 enjoy your long weekend
@darkstar42 I totally feel you on the privacy thing. We haven't told either of our parents that we are TTC.
@aliw220 ugh! AF needs to get it together!
@dragonette505 – Ouch, sounds sore. But barre….super cool!
@izza2 – The first cycle back is always the worst! I had the same when I had my IUD removed.
@Cricket648 – He made bbq steak, mashed potatoes and a broccoli/edamame/black bean side. Really good. And I get leftovers for lunch! Spoilt, I know! Enjoy those last two days and good luck with that bathroom. It sounds awful. Sometimes I don’t know what people are thinking. I had red carpet in the basement when we bought. With tacky gold fixtures. It was like a bad 70’s porn set.
@labgrand2012 - I hear you! I would hire a chef too. I love to bake. Hate to cook. My diet falls apart when DH goes to sea. Enjoy your Bon Jovi Friday!
@darkstar42 – Sounds like you might need a massage! I feel the same about telling people we are ttc. I am very private too. I just want to set the goals and smash them on our own, so to speak. Hugs!
@AliW220 – Sorry you are frustrated. But I just envisioned you yelling at your lady parts and then getting a response. So bad….. but I had to laugh. DH made bbq steak, mashed potatoes and a broccoli/edamame/black bean side. I am going to keep him!
@Stargazer1lily – Wait, you have chickens? Did I miss that?
@Pinky917 – Sorry about the work situation. FX for tomorrow!
@mileswithmyles – boo for vacation ending. But it sounds like you had a great time!
@Stargazer1lily I can relate super hard to your gif.
@mileswithmyles Enjoy your last day of vacation!
@nitnat007 Mmmm sounds delicious! Oh man, that description for your basement sounds hilarious! We saw a good amount of terrible decorating while we were looking at houses.

R/R: Rant: I set up four interviews to hire new movers this week. Zero showed up! So it was just me and the head mover today. I'm exhausted. Rave: It's Thursday! Tomorrow is full of fun things and I'm done with major work for the day.
CS/Q: What are yall's thoughts on the digital OPKs? I've had three days of what looks like positive OPKs on the wondfos which seems unlikely to be actually happening.
GTKY: Post a gif, meme, or other visual that describes your mood today.
@ajsanders-2 Oh man! That's so frustrating about the apartment!
@kbamomma33 Hope everything goes well at your initial meeting tonight!
@dukestar5 Aw yoga with your bestie sounds like a great hump day activity! It's nice to be able to share activities with your bff.
@_darth Sorry about your wonky cycle. You seem to be handling it well.
@fishsticks-n-custard Hope the EWCM is a good sign for you and this cycle!
@Augusta108 Ooh have fun on your adventure! It sounds like fun!
@dragonette505 Ouch! Sorry to hear about your old injury. And thank you for your thorough answer to my rentals question yesterday! I'm going to try and talk to my parents about it more. We have some time to decide.
@Cricket648 Ugh ugly wall paper. GL with that today!
@darkstar42 Sorry about your rough day. You gif made me laugh though.
@AliW220 Sorry for the frustrating cycle!
@Pinky917 Oh no! Sorry about your job! Can you maybe make the best of it and have a staycation?
@SkilledSailor I usually get 3 days of positive OPKs, but the timing is less than 48 hours. For instance:
Monday: 8am -, noon -, 5pm +
Tuesday: + all day
Wednesday: 8am +, noon -, 5pm -
(and yes, sometimes I test a bazillion times a day because I love to waste OPKs lol)
Have yours been darker than the control or just the same color as?
@SkilledSailor I usually get three days of positive OPKs, but the 2nd day is a lot darker than the control line whereas the 1st and 3rd day are equal to the control. I've heard that with wondfos you need to test a couple of times a day and compare them to the previous test to determine when the peak happened.
@dragonette505 Amazingly I will actually get paid for two weeks of it, and anything after that is either unpaid or I use my own leave. I just keep hoping that this ends up being cleared up by the two week mark since that would pretty much be an ultimate win! However, that is not looking too good, and it looks like I may be out for the majority of August.
@skilledsailor I always had some trouble getting a truly positive wondfo, so after a while I started using CB digitals as a confirmation.

@kbamomma33 - GL at your appointment tonight! FX that you and the therapist are able to mesh well! I bought cookies at the store when I bought tampons and stuff for dinner, haha. I may have eaten 4 of them already.
@dukestar5 - Have fun at yoga! What type of muffins are they?
@_darth - Keeping everything crossed that you'll O this cycle *hugs*
@fishsticks-n-custard - EWCM FTW!
@dragonette505 - Sorry for the re-injury! I hope you can heal up quick!
@Cricket648 - GL with getting the border off! The lady who owned our house before we bought it had horrible taste, so we've had to fix her choices slowly but surely. The dining room is a horrible pink colour, the kitchen was purple, the den is a dull yellow, and the bathroom is bright green. Oh, and I think the outside of the house was purple, too? I don't remember. That was the first thing we painted.
@AliW220 - I was definitely spoiled with the withdrawal bleeding from the patch and pill - it gradually got lighter the longer I used them, so now all I picture is my uterus pointing at me and laughing right now.
Side note - I just fell down a rabbit hole of uterus memes trying to find a gif/meme of a uterus pointing and laughing. Woah.
@Pinky917 - I'm sorry about the forced vacation. I'm glad you get paid, though! FX it's only for the two weeks!
@mileswithmyles - Thank you! I used to start taking Pamprin/Midol the day before I expected my period to help with the cramping, and I may start going back to that.
@SkilledSailor - Sorry about the movers!

R/R: A friend sent me a code for a free box of Blue Apron. I'm totally stoked to try it!
GTKY:
@Augusta108 Enjoy the road trip to Hurricane Ridge. Is it a hiking spot?
@nitnat007 @labgrand2012 @izza2 Bran muffins with some dried fruit and nuts mixed in!
@labgrand2012 Yay for an early start to your weekend. Hope you get to relax!
@darkstar42 That would make me somewhat uncomfortable for my ILs to know too. They are lovely people, but I am pretty private. Also, yes, I am trying the mint green tea...I think my dislike comes from the fact that I gave up putting stevia in coffee and tea...and now these drinks are not quite as enjoyable.
@mileswithmyles Enjoy your last day of vacation!
@SkilledSailor I was easily confused by wofondos, but I think the Clear Blue Digital OPKs (not the advanced, just the one with the open circle or smiley) work well. They are more expensive, but I usually just use them for the 2-3 days when I anticipate O.
@Stargazer1lily Chickens!! Awesome. Trying to convince DH we need a chicken coop.
