R/R: I texted my scheduler to make sure that I'm actually on the schedule to work today, because the manager at the office I'm filling in at tried to screw up my schedule last week. I have yet to hear back from her. I figure if I get there and find out the other per diem is scheduled, I'm calling dibs on going home.
CS/Q: Hah! I almost uploaded a picture of our 2015 W2s instead of the screenshot.
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) On the first of every month, and the first day of the year, I say "rabbits, rabbits, rabbits" for good luck! My choir teacher in high school was telling us about it, and it's stuck with me ever since. It's supposed to be the first thing you say that day, but that's usually not the case for me. But I still say it anyway, just in case!
WAYDTGKU: HIO/PNV/CM if I feel like it (that's how unmotivated I am)
R/R: Rant - all the rants, but not going there. Rave - The beef & noodle soup turned out really good last night. Made homemade egg noodles to put in it. Super easy recipe, and easy to do, it just makes my hands tired from kneading, thankfully I got DH to help me towards the end. He hates doing stuff like that, but he's so damn good at it. Also, I finally have a blossom on my spaghetti squash plant!
CS/Q: Nope, my chart is useless this month, but here are some pictures cause they make me laugh (the seagull is my personal favorite).
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) I always eat my disgusting fortune cookie before reading the fortune, aside from that nah.

@izza2 Here is hoping that you get to go home! I would totally be doing the same thing. And I have never heard of saying "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" before. Interesting......
WAYDTGKU: pnv, cm, bbt, epo, acupuncture, hio, pom juice (now that I finally found some)
R/R: Possible TW* I dragged my SS to the lake with me while I walked the dogs. He had no interest in going, but since it was a beautiful day, I was not going to let him stay and play video games. Then he got swimming and typical kid, he didn't want to leave. *TW. I woke up with wicked sinus pressure this morning. But I think I managed to sweat it out at the gym.
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) When an eyelash falls out, I still blow it away and make a wish. Leftover salt goes over the shoulder. And if a ladybug lands on me, they are allowed to stay until they are ready to leave.
WAYDTGKU: Well, currently on BC and hopefully in 10 days my cysts will be gone and I will have a faux-period and then I start the next cycle. But maybe not, and then I will have to have an ovidrel injection and wait 2 more weeks.
R/R: The above is very annoying. I just want to do the next few cycles and get to IVF
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) I wear pink scrubs on surgery days
@izza2 FX you get to go home! I have heard the rabbit, rabbit, rabbit before, too! @lurvleybunchococonuts I eat the fortune cookie that is closet to me in the table. Yay for a blossom! And that seagull & pigeon @nitnat007. Hope your sinus infection lets up soon!
Month/Cycle: 2/2 ( forgot to roll over month on the 27th)
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, FF, RRL & Matcha, etc
R/R: I had trouble sleeping last night because I had cold brew coffee too late in the day. However, I'm still caffeinated so I'm up & ready to go early today!
CS/Q: Nah
GTKY: I wish on fallen eyelashes, first stars, & shooting stars as well as the wish bone. I also do this little thing when see a cat with a dear headlight.
@izza2 I'm glad you didn't post your W-2s! That's totally something I would do. Just yesterday, I had an embarrassing "reply all" instead of "reply" incident. @lurvleybunchococonuts Sorry to hear that you have a bunch of rants. That dinner sounds amazing though! @nitnat007 Ugh, sinus problems are no fun! Hopefully it's nothing major. @kiwi2628 Fx the BC does the trick for you, and you don't have to wait an additional two weeks. @jrm_14 Sorry you didn't get a good night's sleep!
Month/Cycle: 5/2
CD: 19
WAYDTGKU: Waiting for CH's
R/R: I should get my CH's tomorrow, and I'm going to Disney trivia/karaoke with a group of friends tonight, so that'll be fun.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? Mostly I just try not to jinx myself and others by saying things like, "Oh, I'm sure that won't happen". But if I do, I always knock on wood.
WAYDTGKU: temping, OPK, CM, EOD, green tea, Pom juice
R/R: Rant- totally minor, but our boss usually takes us out to lunch the first day back and he didn't yesterday, and I didn't bring lunch because of it. Rave- I feel like I'm getting organized for this year and I'm happy I'm keeping a lot of my teachers for a second year.
CS/Q: chart in spoiler. I wish my temps weren't so erratic. [spoiler] [/spoiler]
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) Not in general, but the night before I run a race, I have the same ritual for the night before and the morning of and I don't ever deviate from it.
@izza2 hopefully you get a bonus day off! @lurvleybunchococonuts home made egg noodles sound so good. What recipe did you use? @nitnat007 aww! I'm glad he ended up having fun @kiwi2628 big hugs. The waiting game is the worst. @jrm_14 I can't have caffeine later in the day or the same thing happens to me!
R/R: Rant: I texted hubbie on the way home last night that I thought we should HIO. I came home, and when I got done with *TW* putting toddler to bed *end TW* and came downstairs, he was on the treadmill, then was too tired to HIO. Womp womp. Rave: Woke up this morning and he decided to take the day off to get some things done and HIO hopefully! Plus first blinky smilie ever on CBD.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) I knock on wood a lot, but usually just at work. If someone says, "slow" or "quiet" I will, quite frankly, lose my shit on them.

@izza2 I get so worried every time I try to upload something here.
I haven't posted in the WTO/TWW threads for a while, but since we are "trying on our own" for the next 3 cycles, I figured I'd jump back in.
M/C: Month 20/lost count of cycles
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: All the pills. Trying to get back in the habit of temping (I've remembered once..), cm and cp.
R/R:
CS/Q:
WAYDTGKU: I am not big on the luck stuff. But we have a rule that on vacation we are not allowed to eat at any chain restaurant or any restaurant that we have eaten at before. I guess that's tradition?
R/R: DH is already feeling better so I think it was food poisoning thank god
CS/Q: not yet
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) eyelash wishes. Holding my breath in the rainbow tunnel back home.
@nitnat007 sorry about the sinus pressure. I do the eyelash thing too @kiwi2628 hopefully your waiting game isn't too long Month/C ycle: 7+2 NTNP
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: I'm not going to chart this month because I'm tired of putting in work with no reward so just lots of sex.
R/R: woke up last night with my back hurting really bad and it took me an hour to get back to sleep.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) I make wishes on eyelashes, dandelions, star, etc.
@Cricket648 Disney trivia and karaoke sounds like a great time! I love Disney. @fishsticks-n-custard hope you get to HIO today. I haven't tried the CBD yet, but I have a box. I've been using Wondfos @Redpuma119 that's a good rule for vacation. @catlady1215 have fun tonight! @doxiemoxie212 I'm glad he's feeling better!
@lurvleybunchococonuts You are on a cooking spree, my friend! All sounds yummy, especially the homemade egg noodles. Do you have a family recipe for them?
@nitnat007 I hope that sinus infection stays away. Workouts always make me feel better too, except today I was too lazy to wake up early and now I am not sure if I will have time to fit one in.
@kiwi2628 I am sorry about the cysts! Are they painful at all. Also, love that you wear pink scrubs! So fun.
@jrm_14 I didn't sleep well either! FX we both get better sleep tonight.
@Cricket648 Yay for CHs! And the Disney trivia/karaoke sounds like fun with your friends. Are you a big Disney fan? Or more in it for the karaoke with friends or both?
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: charting, temping, pom juice, green tea
R/R: I slept terrible last night and I'm not sure why. Also, my face is breaking out like I'm a teenager again, so that's no fun. On the positive side, I have a facial scheduled later today.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) Wish on fallen eyelashes and shooting stars. Pray for any concerns, challenges, etc.
CD: 4 (lots of 4's is good luck or something right?)
WAYDTGKU: PNVs OPKs bbt cm tracking
R/R:
CS/Q: not much yet due to AF. How do you post something in a "spoiler" box?
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) I've got nothing. I guess I throw salt over my shoulder if I drop some, but I think I might stop because I always think about how silly it is that I'm creating MORE of a mess when I do it.
@mileswithmyles I'm glad you're keeping most of your teachers. Staff turnover is tough in schools. Were you able to go out and get lunch yesterday? That's definitely not an option where I work, and the few times I've forgotten my lunch it really sucked.
@dukestar5 I'm definitely a Disney fan, but I'm also glad to be spending time with friends before school starts back. Enjoy your facial!
@JennyColada I wish I could help you with the spoiler box, but the few times I've tried it I totally failed.
@izza2 re: the W-2s, that would have been a terrible mistake! @lurvleybunchococonuts OMG, love those birds with arms. @nitnat007 Love all your good luck rituals! @jrm_14 I still have not had a cold brew coffee - do you make it or buy it? @mileswithmyles Ah! I would hate to be lunch-less. What did you do? @Redpuma119 Good to see you here! Gl this cycle! @cricket648 Yay for CH and karaoke! @fishsticks-n-custard Sorry about the HIO last not but I hope it works out today. @catlady1215 Have a great time at the concert! @doxiemoxie212 Ugh, food poisoning sucks but I'm glad it wasn't something more serious for YH. @charlestonchew I hope the HIO works. Are you going to do EOD or every day? @dukestar5 I'm sorry about the breakouts. I get so annoyed when I get pimples, like, I have aging skin problems and pimples. Why? @JennyColada If you are on a computer you can hit the little Paragraph symbol and select "Spoiler" otherwise do what @mileswithmyles says!
Month/Cycle: 2/2 AL
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: Today I'm yelling at my ovary to hurry up already.
R/R: Acupuncture was good yesterday but somehow not as effective seeming as the first time - the first time I was wiped out tired but also was relaxed for almost a week afterwards, this time not so much. He did different points though so I guess that is to be expected. All my rants seem really petty at the moment - like, I'm tired of HIO because my cyst is acting up. But really I should just be thankful for MH and his can-do attitude as we wait for O.
CS/Q: Not really a question, but I have been getting positive OPKs since evening of CD12, and this morning was so positive the test line was much darker than the control so, still have not O'd. Chart in spoiler.
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) A lot of what others do - eyelashes and salt. On the eyelashes I read a short story once where the character just wished for "good" instead of wishing specific so that's what I do too.
@fishsticks-n-custard. All the feels for you with YH & him being too tired. I could have wrote pretty much the same thing. Womp. Good news is, though, as of yesterday I hadn't O'd yet, though should today. @mileswithmyles Oh, I'd be a grump without food. Hopefully your day today is better! And I am usually okay with caffeine up until about 1-2pm. I drank it was before that, but it had alllllll the caffeine in it, apparently. @catlady1215 I think I've been more sensitive to it, too, because I have cut down on my coffee consumption. I haven't even touched my morning dose yet today. @dukestar5 FX your facial is relaxing and you sleep well tonight!
@mileswithmyles this is the recipe I've been using, if you can call it a recipe lol https://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/homemade-pasta/It's essentially 1 cup flour to 2 eggs, knead until smooth not sticky/tacky, let sit, roll out thing, boil in well seasoned water. It's actually really easy
@doxiemoxie212 rainbow tunnel? Please explain further cause what I'm imagining sounds magical
@charlestonchew Ouch, I hope your back is better That sucks!
@dukestar5 not a family recipe, and to be fair MH made the soup last night (including the stock earlier last week). I just did the noodles for it last night But this is the "recipe" I've used https://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/homemade-pasta/ @JennyColada click the format drop down (funny backwards looking P) and the option for spoiler box is in there

TTGP December Siggy Co-Winner: Favorite Moments from Holiday Movies/TV
@Redpuma119. We have that same rule! @doxiemoxie212 rainbow tunnel? On please elaborate! @charlestonchew feel better! @zamora_spin. I buy it. Starbucks is pretty good, but I usually get it at a local place. I tried making it once & it miserably failed. The flavor in cold brew vs iced coffee is really different. (at least I notice it)
@jrm_14@lurvleybunchococonuts oh it's just the tunnel you go through after the Golden Gate Bridge when you're going into Marin county. It's just a tunnel with a rainbow painted outside. It was renamed the Robin Williams tunnel recently after his death (he lived/died in Marin). You can google it, there are lots of pictures. I was told when I was little to hold my breath when we drive through and make a wish. I still do it.
@izza2 I've never heard of the "rabbits, rabbits, rabbits" thing, but I like it! @lurvleybunchococonuts I love those bird pics! @nitnat007 Sounds like a lovely time at the lake! I hope your sinus pressure is cleared up for good. @kiwi2628 Fx the bc does its job and gets rid of those cysts! I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. @jrm_14 The same thing happens to me if I have caffeine too late in the day. Hope you sleep better tonight! @Cricket648 Have fun at Disney trivia/karaoke! Sounds like a good time. @mileswithmyles Bummer on the missed lunch! That's no fun. @fishsticks-n-custard Fx for sexytimes today! @Redpuma119 That's a good vacation rule! It's always more fun to eat at local spots. @catlady1215 Have fun at your concert! @doxiemoxie212 So glad YH is feeling better and probably didn't spread anything to you! @charlestonchew Sorry about the cd 1. I hear you on the too much work for no payoff with charting, etc. Fx this cycle is the one for you. @dukestar5 Enjoy your facial! That sounds lovely and relaxing. @JennyColada Lots of 4s is totally good luck. Now I'm looking at my numbers going, "6s and a 13... that doesn't sound very good..." @zamora_spin Here's hoping your ovary listens to you and hurries up! -------------------------------
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: Temps, cm, opks
R/R: Rave - medical procedure is over and done with and everything went smoothly. I can eat real food again! Also, we're gearing up for vacation now (we leave on Sunday), so that will be fun. Rant - I have to get work done before we leave, and I don't wanna!
CS/Q: No specific question. It looks like I'm still alternating O days month to month, and this month will likely be between cds 14 and 16. As long at happens before we leave for vacation, any day is fine with me! We'll be staying with MHs parents, so hoping I'll be in the TWW by then.
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) Like others, I wish on eyelashes and wishbones. I also hold my breath through tunnels (especially the rainbow tunnel! @doxiemoxie212, are you from the bay area?).
Sorry for the P&G ladies, I suddenly had "things to do."
@izza2 FX maybe you get to go home? @lurvleybunchococonuts That seagull made me literally lol. @nitnat007 *TW* Yeah that sounds like kids to me. You could be describing my nephew *end TW* @kiwi2628 Sorry about the cysts. Hopefully they clear up on the BC! I'm always envious of people who can wear cute scrubs. I can't get away with it. @jrm_14 Boo for interrupted sleep but cold brew sounds delicious. And I agree, I can definitely tell the difference between cold brew and iced. @Cricket648@Cricket648 I totally feel you on the "For sure that will happen" thing. I never do that either. @mileswithmyles Yay for keeping your teachers. I usually don't do the CBD, because it wants fmu and I almost never have a chance to catch that. @Redpuma119@Redpuma119 Welcome back to the dailies! @catlady1215 Have fun at the concert! @doxiemoxie212 Glad hubbie is feeling better. GI stuff is the worst. Hopefully it's not contagious; I hope you don't get it! @charlestonchew Boo on CD1. @dukestar5 Ugh for breaking out. Hopefully the facial helps. @darkstar42 Glad everything went smoothly.
Me: 35, Hubbie: 33 Married DH: 2013 DD: Dec 2015 BFP 8/14/17 --> Due 4/27/2018
@kiwi2628 FX that the BC works for you and you get to that IVF cycle soon.
@jrm_14 Ugh, drinking coffee too late in the day does the same thing to me. But hey, you are still awake now, so score!
@Cricket648 Totally knock on wood for everything too! And Disney trivia/Karaoke sounds like fun. Enjoy!
@mileswithmyles Oh no, how dare he not be consistent and treat you guys to lunch. Ha! I hate being stuck at work without lunch. Glad that you have a good group of teachers with you too and that the year will run smoothly.
@doxiemoxie212 Glad that YH is feeling better now. And that there is less blood now!
@charlestonchew Sorry about your back. Heating pad and stretching. A sore back always reminds me of how much you use your back from everything. The worst. Feel better.
@dukestar5 I feel like my day has not started right if I don't workout before work starts (plus I get to skip out on morning traffic this way too). And, the end of the day is always just too busy. I hope that you find some time later to get one in. Enjoy that facial!
@zamora_spin Glad to hear that you are enjoying acupuncture so far. I enjoy it too. Although who knows if it is effective?! I tend to get a few days of positive OPK's before my temp spikes too. So I would think in the next couple days you will be off to the TWW. Sorry about the cyst, but its awesome to hear that YH is being a trooper and staying positive!
@zamora_spin since I know how to check for CM and when my typical fertile week is I think I'll just try for every other day from day 10 to 16 and pay attention to CM. O has always been between CD 13 and 17. (With my luck this month I'll O unusually late and fuck myself)
@darkstar42 If you alternate O days it could be your two ovaries taking turns and they O at different CDs. Or, at least that is what I have read. @nitnat007 My surge was shorter the first couple cycles we tried (not more than 16 hours), and has gotten longer these last two cycles. It probably means nothing. @kiwi2628 I hope the cysts clear up. I hate them!
R/R: I don't really have anything today, just been a pretty mundane last 24 hours. Just getting ready to hit fertility week, but no quite sure how long of a cycle I will have.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) I dont really have one thing that I do all the time. My DH brought one of my beanie babies from McDonalds (the giraffe one) to two different interviews and got the jobs, so I brought it with me to my last one, and I got the job. So we have that.

@izza2 that 95.9 night must have been a fluke! @lurvleybunchococonuts we are growing yellow squash and the blooms are so cute Those pics are hilarious! the gladiator one makes me want to scream: ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!! lol @nitnat007 sounds like you had a lovely day (even if you ended up with wonky sinuses!) @kiwi2628 hoping that cyst goes quick! Super annoying! @jrm_14 Hopefully you dont get an afternoon crash. Sux when you cant sleep @Cricket648 fc for CH!! @mileswithmyles sux when temps wont behave, but hopefully you can still use CM

WAYDTGKU: WTO, estrogen priming, IVF
R/R: no rants... just a quiet day at work. Rave....lol same! Quiet day here and so nice. I have a very chill job so im always grateful.
CS/Q: nope! Im really hoping i O a wee bit early this cycle. It would just be nice to get things moving. I wasnt wrong that my CM seems to be changing earlier than i thought... (tmi) last night i got a bit of clear stretchy already so either a long FW or early O
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) not really. I dont really "believe" in luck, but when im feeling anxious or stressed i do like to wear jewelry that represents things that are calming to me. I have lots of tree and leaf pattern earrings because I've always loved the forest. Sort of like a meditation focus
R/R: I`m kinda happy the company that was planing on coming for the weekend had to cancel.
CS/Q:nope
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) Crossing fingers and knocking on wood for luck.
@Stargazer1lily lol sometimes im like that with cancelled guests/plans. You are happy to go or meet up but then when it cancels youre like WHOOPEEEE!! lol
@izza2 I say "white rabbit" three times when the smoke from a camp fire is blowing my way. It is supposed to turn it the other direction. @lurvleybunchococonuts I love making my own noodles, I have never made egg noodles before, are they easy? @nitnat007 That walk sounds so nice! Do you dogs play in the lake as well? @kiwi2628 I hope you cycle start when you want it to! @jrm_14 Will you have an energy crash once the caffeine wears off? @cricket648 I hope you get your cross hairs! @mileswithmyles That stinks when you plan on something for lunch and it doesnt work out! Did you get some lunch? @fishsticks-n-custard Yay for blinky smilie!! I use those as well, I like that I dont have to guess what the line means. @redpuma119 welcome back to the TWW/WTO @catlady1215 have fun at your concert!! @doxiemoxie212 Glad your DH is feeling better and that it looks like you will not be getting sick. @charlestonchew Sorry you couldn't fall back asleep right away! @dukestar5 Sorry you slept terrible as well. There must have been something in the air with all of you not sleeping so well. Have fun at your facial! @JennyColada - I like the number 4! I also love when numbers line up. @zamora_spin FX you O soon! @darkstar42 So glad to hear your procedure went well!

@dragonette505 I love your GTKY. I have a piece of jewelry that was once my dads that I hate taking off unless I have to. Very symbolic for me and have been wearing it for almost 15 years now.
@Stargazer1lily I feel the same way about guests sometimes. Great intentions, but really like the quiet too!
@labgrand2012 Yes, my chocolate lab LOVES to swim. I can not keep him out of the water for the life of me. It is to the point where he will even do his business in a puddle if he can find one lol.
@lurvleybunchococonuts oh my gosh, you are inspiring me to be more ambitious in the kitchen. That is impressive. I am also DYING over the seagull thanks for posting, it made my morning! @Cricket648 I LOVE karaoke. FX you get your cross hairs tomorrow as expected @Stargazer1lily@dragonette505 We have a saying here that no one cries over a cancelled meeting! I share in that relief that comes when plans are cancelled. It doesn't mean we don't love the people or enjoy them when we're there, but an opening of a calendar sure is nice too! @dragonette505 I'm with you on the jewelry for luck and focus and calm. I think talismans that travel with us can be really powerful @labgrand2012 remind me to borrow those beanie babies next time I have a job interview, that is really neat! @darkstar42 Keeping my FX that ovulation is happening when it works for you and you can enjoy a peaceful vacation with family. I hate that work cramming before the vacation, I feel like it makes it that much harder to unwind when you're actually on vacation! @zamora_spin I think your rants are totally reasonable, especially if the HIO is causing discomfort. The important thing is you recognize your super DH. So that's excellent. @izza2 Did you get to go home early? Laughing over the rabbits rabbits, who couldn't use a little extra good luck! @nitnat007 oh what do you do for exercise. I'm amazed how much better I can make myself feel if I'm coming down with something by exercising @kiwi2628 that all sounds very exhausting and frankly a little disorienting. I hope the cyst passes asap, who needs that! @jrm_14 oh man, I really try to watch the caffeine in the PM, but sometimes, you just need a little boost. Hopefully you get luscious sleep tonight to make up for it. @fishsticks-n-custard I had the same thing happen with my husband last night. And Sunday. He's just been a little depleted and I'm trying not to pressure. Hoping tonight is outstanding! @mileswithmyles how long have you been a runner? I remember when I did little half's, my girlfriends and I had a whole routine and so help any girl who tried to deviate! It's funny how a big race can really get inside your brain! @doxiemoxie212 really glad DH is feeling better. Funny how guys can be about illness, some of them so stoic, others are babies. Mine is a bit the latter!

WAYDTGKU: BBT,CM,OPK,HIO
R/R: rant: I have no idea what is going on with my chart. This is the first cycle I'm actually doing things properly, temping and noting CM. The only issue is I'm taking temps with variability of about 90 minutes. I need to set a time and stick to it. rave: this board brings me so much comfort. thank you everyone for your patience with a newbie!
CS/Q: My OPK's say the surge is gone (first positive on Friday) and now I'm getting a tiny bit of EW after no evidence all weekend. BODY what are you trying to tell me!!!
[spoiler][/spoiler] GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) Whenever I compete in a horse competition, I say "merde" before I go in the ring. And then pet my horse profusely and pray we are safe and not embarrassed.
@stalkinghorse I switch between doing spin and bodypump in the mornings. I also teach bodypump twice a week at lunch times. It really helps to sweat things out when you are feeling a little under the weather. Generally that is how I know I am really sick, when a workout makes me feel worse, I know that I need to just go home! Very cute "tradition" I like it! I completely have to second the help and support of these amazing ladies, they really are the bomb! PS I think you may have attached my chart by accident lol. Or we are definitely in sync
@labgrand2012 they're SUPER easy to make. Seriously... flour, egg, salt. Knead, rest, roll out, cut, and boil.
@cards10 I don't look at the chive, but I've heard of it. I know there are tumblr pages dedicated to birds with arms too LMAO

R/R: I texted my scheduler to make sure that I'm actually on the schedule to work today, because the manager at the office I'm filling in at tried to screw up my schedule last week. I have yet to hear back from her. I figure if I get there and find out the other per diem is scheduled, I'm calling dibs on going home.
CS/Q: Hah! I almost uploaded a picture of our 2015 W2s instead of the screenshot.
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting)
On the first of every month, and the first day of the year, I say "rabbits, rabbits, rabbits" for good luck! My choir teacher in high school was telling us about it, and it's stuck with me ever since. It's supposed to be the first thing you say that day, but that's usually not the case for me. But I still say it anyway, just in case!

R/R: Rant - all the rants, but not going there. Rave - The beef & noodle soup turned out really good last night. Made homemade egg noodles to put in it. Super easy recipe, and easy to do, it just makes my hands tired from kneading, thankfully I got DH to help me towards the end. He hates doing stuff like that, but he's so damn good at it. Also, I finally have a blossom on my spaghetti squash plant!
CS/Q: Nope, my chart is useless this month, but here are some pictures cause they make me laugh (the seagull is my personal favorite).
I always eat my disgusting fortune cookie before reading the fortune, aside from that nah.

R/R: Possible TW* I dragged my SS to the lake with me while I walked the dogs. He had no interest in going, but since it was a beautiful day, I was not going to let him stay and play video games. Then he got swimming and typical kid, he didn't want to leave. *TW. I woke up with wicked sinus pressure this morning. But I think I managed to sweat it out at the gym.
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting)
When an eyelash falls out, I still blow it away and make a wish. Leftover salt goes over the shoulder. And if a ladybug lands on me, they are allowed to stay until they are ready to leave.

WAYDTGKU: Well, currently on BC and hopefully in 10 days my cysts will be gone and I will have a faux-period and then I start the next cycle. But maybe not, and then I will have to have an ovidrel injection and wait 2 more weeks.

@lurvleybunchococonuts Sorry to hear that you have a bunch of rants. That dinner sounds amazing though!
@nitnat007 Ugh, sinus problems are no fun! Hopefully it's nothing major.

@izza2 hopefully you get a bonus day off!
@lurvleybunchococonuts home made egg noodles sound so good. What recipe did you use?

@Redpuma119 that's a good rule for vacation.
@catlady1215 have fun tonight!
@doxiemoxie212 I'm glad he's feeling better!
@lurvleybunchococonuts You are on a cooking spree, my friend! All sounds yummy, especially the homemade egg noodles. Do you have a family recipe for them?
@nitnat007 I hope that sinus infection stays away. Workouts always make me feel better too, except today I was too lazy to wake up early and now I am not sure if I will have time to fit one in.
@kiwi2628 I am sorry about the cysts! Are they painful at all. Also, love that you wear pink scrubs! So fun.
@jrm_14 I didn't sleep well either! FX we both get better sleep tonight.

@charlestonchew I hope the HIO works. Are you going to do EOD or every day?
@dukestar5 I'm sorry about the breakouts. I get so annoyed when I get pimples, like, I have aging skin problems and pimples. Why?

Month/Cycle: 2/2 AL
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: Today I'm yelling at my ovary to hurry up already.
R/R: Acupuncture was good yesterday but somehow not as effective seeming as the first time - the first time I was wiped out tired but also was relaxed for almost a week afterwards, this time not so much. He did different points though so I guess that is to be expected. All my rants seem really petty at the moment - like, I'm tired of HIO because my cyst is acting up. But really I should just be thankful for MH and his can-do attitude as we wait for O.
CS/Q: Not really a question, but I have been getting positive OPKs since evening of CD12, and this morning was so positive the test line was much darker than the control so, still have not O'd. Chart in spoiler.
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) A lot of what others do - eyelashes and salt. On the eyelashes I read a short story once where the character just wished for "good" instead of wishing specific so that's what I do too.
@fishsticks-n-custard. All the feels for you with YH & him being too tired. I could have wrote pretty much the same thing. Womp. Good news is, though, as of yesterday I hadn't O'd yet, though should today.
@mileswithmyles Oh, I'd be a grump without food. Hopefully your day today is better! And I am usually okay with caffeine up until about 1-2pm. I drank it was before that, but it had alllllll the caffeine in it, apparently.
@catlady1215 I think I've been more sensitive to it, too, because I have cut down on my coffee consumption. I haven't even touched my morning dose yet today.
@dukestar5 FX your facial is relaxing and you sleep well tonight!
@nitnat007 I somehow forgot about the eyelash wish, I totally do that too! Glad you had fun at the lake, I hope you're feeling better!
@kiwi625 that sounds super frustrating! I hope it goes by quickly for you!
@jrm_14 MH does the fortune cookie closest thing too, so inevitably I end up with the one closest to me as well lol
@Cricket648 have fun tonight! Sounds like a blast
@mileswithmyles this is the recipe I've been using, if you can call it a recipe lol https://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/homemade-pasta/ It's essentially 1 cup flour to 2 eggs, knead until smooth not sticky/tacky, let sit, roll out thing, boil in well seasoned water. It's actually really easy
@fishsticks-n-custard ugh, men can be so frustrating can't they?
@Redpuma119 I like your vacay rule
@catlady1215 have fun tonight!
@doxiemoxie212 rainbow tunnel? Please explain further cause what I'm imagining sounds magical
@charlestonchew Ouch, I hope your back is better That sucks!
@dukestar5 not a family recipe, and to be fair MH made the soup last night (including the stock earlier last week). I just did the noodles for it last night But this is the "recipe" I've used https://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/homemade-pasta/

@charlestonchew feel better!
@zamora_spin. I buy it. Starbucks is pretty good, but I usually get it at a local place. I tried making it once & it miserably failed. The flavor in cold brew vs iced coffee is really different. (at least I notice it)
@lurvleybunchococonuts I love those bird pics!
@nitnat007 Sounds like a lovely time at the lake! I hope your sinus pressure is cleared up for good.
@kiwi2628 Fx the bc does its job and gets rid of those cysts! I'm sorry you're having to deal with that.
@jrm_14 The same thing happens to me if I have caffeine too late in the day. Hope you sleep better tonight!
@Cricket648 Have fun at Disney trivia/karaoke! Sounds like a good time.
@mileswithmyles Bummer on the missed lunch! That's no fun.

@charlestonchew Sorry about the cd 1. I hear you on the too much work for no payoff with charting, etc. Fx this cycle is the one for you.

CS/Q: No specific question. It looks like I'm still alternating O days month to month, and this month will likely be between cds 14 and 16. As long at happens before we leave for vacation, any day is fine with me! We'll be staying with MHs parents, so hoping I'll be in the TWW by then.
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) Like others, I wish on eyelashes and wishbones. I also hold my breath through tunnels (especially the rainbow tunnel! @doxiemoxie212, are you from the bay area?).
@izza2 FX maybe you get to go home?
@lurvleybunchococonuts That seagull made me literally lol.
@nitnat007 *TW* Yeah that sounds like kids to me. You could be describing my nephew *end TW*
@kiwi2628 Sorry about the cysts. Hopefully they clear up on the BC! I'm always envious of people who can wear cute scrubs. I can't get away with it.
@jrm_14 Boo for interrupted sleep but cold brew sounds delicious. And I agree, I can definitely tell the difference between cold brew and iced.
@Cricket648 @Cricket648 I totally feel you on the "For sure that will happen" thing. I never do that either.
@mileswithmyles Yay for keeping your teachers. I usually don't do the CBD, because it wants fmu and I almost never have a chance to catch that.
@Redpuma119 @Redpuma119 Welcome back to the dailies!
@catlady1215 Have fun at the concert!
@doxiemoxie212 Glad hubbie is feeling better. GI stuff is the worst. Hopefully it's not contagious; I hope you don't get it!

@Cricket648 Totally knock on wood for everything too! And Disney trivia/Karaoke sounds like fun. Enjoy!
@mileswithmyles Oh no, how dare he not be consistent and treat you guys to lunch. Ha! I hate being stuck at work without lunch. Glad that you have a good group of teachers with you too and that the year will run smoothly.
@fishsticks-n-custard Woohoo for the smiley blinky face! Hope you get to HIO later!
@redpuma119 Welcome back! I would definitely count that as a tradition. And one that I love! I am all about doing new things while on vacation.
@catlady1215 Have fun at that concert tonight!
@doxiemoxie212 Glad that YH is feeling better now. And that there is less blood now!
@charlestonchew Sorry about your back. Heating pad and stretching. A sore back always reminds me of how much you use your back from everything. The worst. Feel better.
@dukestar5 I feel like my day has not started right if I don't workout before work starts (plus I get to skip out on morning traffic this way too). And, the end of the day is always just too busy. I hope that you find some time later to get one in. Enjoy that facial!
@zamora_spin Glad to hear that you are enjoying acupuncture so far. I enjoy it too. Although who knows if it is effective?! I tend to get a few days of positive OPK's before my temp spikes too. So I would think in the next couple days you will be off to the TWW. Sorry about the cyst, but its awesome to hear that YH is being a trooper and staying positive!
@zamora_spin I like wishing for good!
@darkstar42 yay for real food!
@nitnat007 My surge was shorter the first couple cycles we tried (not more than 16 hours), and has gotten longer these last two cycles. It probably means nothing.

@lurvleybunchococonuts we are growing yellow squash and the blooms are so cute Those pics are hilarious! the gladiator one makes me want to scream: ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!! lol

CS/Q: nope! Im really hoping i O a wee bit early this cycle. It would just be nice to get things moving. I wasnt wrong that my CM seems to be changing earlier than i thought... (tmi) last night i got a bit of clear stretchy already so either a long FW or early O
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) not really. I dont really "believe" in luck, but when im feeling anxious or stressed i do like to wear jewelry that represents things that are calming to me.

@doxiemoxie212 Glad your DH is feeling better and that it looks like you will not be getting sick.
@charlestonchew Sorry you couldn't fall back asleep right away!
@dukestar5 Sorry you slept terrible as well. There must have been something in the air with all of you not sleeping so well. Have fun at your facial!
@JennyColada - I like the number 4! I also love when numbers line up.
@zamora_spin FX you O soon!
@darkstar42 So glad to hear your procedure went well!

@cards10 Yay EWCM!! HIO!!
@dragonette505 I love your GTKY. I have a piece of jewelry that was once my dads that I hate taking off unless I have to. Very symbolic for me and have been wearing it for almost 15 years now.
@Stargazer1lily I feel the same way about guests sometimes. Great intentions, but really like the quiet too!
@labgrand2012 Yes, my chocolate lab LOVES to swim. I can not keep him out of the water for the life of me. It is to the point where he will even do his business in a puddle if he can find one lol.
@Cricket648 I LOVE karaoke. FX you get your cross hairs tomorrow as expected
@Stargazer1lily @dragonette505 We have a saying here that no one cries over a cancelled meeting! I share in that relief that comes when plans are cancelled. It doesn't mean we don't love the people or enjoy them when we're there, but an opening of a calendar sure is nice too!
@dragonette505 I'm with you on the jewelry for luck and focus and calm. I think talismans that travel with us can be really powerful
@labgrand2012 remind me to borrow those beanie babies next time I have a job interview, that is really neat!
@darkstar42 Keeping my FX that ovulation is happening when it works for you and you can enjoy a peaceful vacation with family. I hate that work cramming before the vacation, I feel like it makes it that much harder to unwind when you're actually on vacation!
@zamora_spin I think your rants are totally reasonable, especially if the HIO is causing discomfort. The important thing is you recognize your super DH. So that's excellent.
@izza2 Did you get to go home early? Laughing over the rabbits rabbits, who couldn't use a little extra good luck!
@nitnat007 oh what do you do for exercise. I'm amazed how much better I can make myself feel if I'm coming down with something by exercising
@kiwi2628 that all sounds very exhausting and frankly a little disorienting. I hope the cyst passes asap, who needs that!
@jrm_14 oh man, I really try to watch the caffeine in the PM, but sometimes, you just need a little boost. Hopefully you get luscious sleep tonight to make up for it.
@fishsticks-n-custard I had the same thing happen with my husband last night. And Sunday. He's just been a little depleted and I'm trying not to pressure. Hoping tonight is outstanding!
@mileswithmyles how long have you been a runner? I remember when I did little half's, my girlfriends and I had a whole routine and so help any girl who tried to deviate! It's funny how a big race can really get inside your brain!
@doxiemoxie212 really glad DH is feeling better. Funny how guys can be about illness, some of them so stoic, others are babies. Mine is a bit the latter!
Month/Cycle: 7/5
CD:19
WAYDTGKU: BBT,CM,OPK,HIO
R/R: rant: I have no idea what is going on with my chart. This is the first cycle I'm actually doing things properly, temping and noting CM. The only issue is I'm taking temps with variability of about 90 minutes. I need to set a time and stick to it. rave: this board brings me so much comfort. thank you everyone for your patience with a newbie!
CS/Q: My OPK's say the surge is gone (first positive on Friday) and now I'm getting a tiny bit of EW after no evidence all weekend. BODY what are you trying to tell me!!!
[spoiler][/spoiler]
GTKY: Do you have any habits or traditions for luck/fortune/etc. that you do? (i.e.: rubbing a rabbits foot before a meeting) Whenever I compete in a horse competition, I say "merde" before I go in the ring. And then pet my horse profusely and pray we are safe and not embarrassed.
I completely have to second the help and support of these amazing ladies, they really are the bomb!
PS I think you may have attached my chart by accident lol. Or we are definitely in sync
@cards10 I don't look at the chive, but I've heard of it. I know there are tumblr pages dedicated to birds with arms too LMAO
