@paleoprincess. Yesssss to sammich! YH's family all distortes words like that and drives me batty. "May-nerds" (Menard's). "Crab Racoons" (Crab rangoon). "Fwench Fwies" and on and on. Like, seriosuly, your children are grown up. No more child talk. It clearly irritates me. ETA: @fishsticks-n-custard. Sorry about the fight and likely lack of HIO tonight. And those student loans And mine.
Ladies, I'll be cheering you all on, but I'm benched for the rest of this cycle. I'm still not sure exactly what happened, but my neck and shoulders went into such painful muscle spasms I literally could not get out of bed without MH lifting my head for me. We spent the wee hours of Wednesday morning in the ER, and although the extreme pain is over, I'm still taking ibuprofen and a muscle relaxant, neither of which mix well with ttc. Hopefully all will be resolved soon and we can try again next month!
@fishsticks-n-custard I'm sorry you and YH are having it out, but it's kind of cute that it's over Dr. Who. @paleoprincess What App do you use for charting? I like the little hearts, is that BD? @jrm_14 Ugh, I'm sorry your body is being confusing. I hope you O soon. @nitnat007 What even is a "non-dog" person.

Sorry about the bench, hopefully you feel better soon! @zamora_spin yeah that temp jump looks good! GL in TWW!
@zamora_spin like you said, your timing is still great! It's hard not to feel superstitious about "o-day" though. I chart on Kindara, because I started charting a year ago as birth control, and it's popular in the TTA crowd. The hearts mean BD, and it shows heart outlines for protected, and full hearts for unprotected. I've thought about switching to FF, but Kindara has a years worth of data already.
@cards10 Thank you! yeah, I'm not sure what the watery cm placement is about - I never get it so I've never thought about it.

@mileswithmyles YES to the fidget spinners! What an awful invention. I am all for them being banned in schools. They are not helpful for kids. Sorry about the headache and hope that the run helped some.
@cards10 Oh fun. I remember you mentioning that before. Its sad that they would rather bow out than challenge themselves though. They will only regret it later in life.
@jrm_14 Sorry to see you back. But I would have done the same thing, I am a little superstitious too!
@paleoprincessWe took the dogs for a walk at a lake last night, one that also has a very small public swimming area as well. There was a woman there with her two kids and a couple friends. My dogs were off leash (but both extremely well behaved and not aggressive). I attempted to avoid the swimming area, but they were sitting very close to the path so my dog walked through them and dropped his ball. It was probably a 30 second interaction, but the language that she used in front of her own kids (and my SS who is 8yo) was extremely unnecessary. All I said to her that my dogs were very friendly and he just wanted his ball back. I went and grabbed his ball, threw it for him and we walked away. She carried on and then her son (probably 6yo) proceeded to tell me that I was very rude. Sigh. I just ignored it all, but you could tell that she was a little on the rough side and situations like that, especially in front of kids, rubs me the wrong way.
@fishsticks-n-custard Make up sex?? It is never fun when you are at odds. Hope that you guys work it out quickly.
@darkstar42 Oh that is really shitty. So sorry that you are feeling so awful. Take care of yourself though and feel better asap!
@zamora_spin RIGHT?! She was clearly just needing something to take her crappy day out on. But have to really worry about people who will allow a 30 second interaction ruin their day like that. It is here in Canada. Monday is Natal Day. IT issues drive me bonkers! GL is dealing with those. Yay for your family visit though. Where are they?
@paleoprincess If Kindara works for you and has all that data I wouldn't switch, personally. I'm definitely being a bit superstitious about O. @nitnat007 It's so alien to me when people don't like dogs - I want to pet all the dogs. My family lives up in New England, and I live down south. I was up there in June but it was a very short visit so I'm glad to go up for longer. @charlestonchew Yes, usually for me it's right before my period, but yeah, biologically it seems like a weird time for a body to want to get it on!
@nitnat007. Clearly she has passed on her negativity to her family members. @charlestonchew. Yes!!! Especially after the initial heavy flow lets up a bit.
@mileswithmyles. **possible TW** My young nephew HATES them in the classroom. He says they distract him and are just toys.**end possible TW** It irritates me they clearly can interefere with other student's learning experience.

@nitnat007 are juicy sweatpants still a thing? i was all over that like 10 years ago... figured the trend would die by now... @darkstar42 OH NO!! I had something similar happen with my lower back. Excruciating spasms out of nowhere that sent me unconscious to the floor. Be kind to yourself. Lots of chiro visits and heat got me through it. I hope you feel better soon!! @lurvleybunchococonuts - YES to mosquitoes. @zamora_spin - I hear you on running out of steam. By the end of FW, I don't want anyone to touch me. @fishsticks-n-custard - sorry about the spat you and hubby got into. I agree with nitnat007 on make up sex... i usually sulk for a bit, then HIO in the spare bedroom. change of scenery can be fun! @jrm_14 - i'm sorry your cycle is wonky. come on out egg! it's still nice and warm on the other side @mileswithmyles - yay for the run! please keep posting about your runs and eventualy it will guilt me into also exercising LOL.

@nitnat007 I don't understand people who are antidog. It just doesn't compute in my brain. @mileswithmyles Sorry about the headache, I hope you start feeling better. @jrm_14 Sorry about the US. Hopefully soon! @darkstar42 Ugh, that sucks so much. I hope you get to feeling better soon. @zamora_spin Ooo nice little temp jump there. Yeah I would suspect you'll be heading over to TWW tomorrow. @cards10 I think he was pissed about something else and just chose to take it out on me for whatever reason. @charlestonchew I get really horny right after my cycle for some reason. @nitnat007@AliW220 I picked up a shift tonight so no make up sex. A partner offered it up and I jumped on it. I really don't want to be around him right now. I might regret it in the TWW but I'm still pretty angry at the pettiness of last night that I can't deal. @lurvleybunchococonuts *big hugs*

nitnat007 Sorry about that crazy lady. I definitely agree that I don't understand why people let something like that ruin their day. As an aside, I totally never considered tracking PNV on my chart. Genius!
@lurvleybunchococonuts. I seriously lol'd at cats with hard. IT likely thinks I'm BSC due to many searches of 'kittens wearing mittens' and 'sloths in pajamas.' @Stargazer1lily. Mosquitoes don't usually bite me. However, of course they bit like crazy when we went to a Zika infested area.
@lurvleybunchococonuts lolling so hard at the cats with hats @AliW220 whoa you passed out from back pain? Glad you figured out how to treat it! @Stargazer1lily I'll help you eat some tomatoes @Steph5454 enjoy vaca!! I probably missed it, where are you? @JennyColada congrats on your dream job!!
R/R: DH got me a really cute, sort of large travel makeup tote from Kate Spade with all these interior pockets and storage things. It arrived yesterday, and I think he did a really good job. lol
CS/Q: nah
GTKY: What is something you wished would cease to exist? I mean, if we're not going to get super political.... I guess my student loans or... ZIKA! Mother effing zika because I want to go to the effing Caribbean!
@Stargazer1lily I have a tomato plant that is almost at the ceiling now (we live in an apt so no green house lol). It won't give me any tomatoes, though, so I think at some point I'm going to have to toss him.... :-\
@zamora_spin how have you been liking the acupuncture? have you gone again since the first time, i can't remember?
@charlestonchew I think that's pretty common. It doesn't happen for me, but that might be partially because I know DH is sooooo grossed out by blood that he just would never agree to come near me. I think I might've had a stronger sex drive during my period though before that? I can't really remember. It's been 10 years. lol
@zamora_spin I am with you. I also want to pet all the dogs. I can drive DH nutty because I will literally go out of my way to go and pet the all the dogs. Hope you can get confirmation on O and head on over to the TWW stat.
@charlestonchew Yes. Totally has happened to me before. Odd timing, but what can you do?
@AliW220 I saw a girl wearing them a couple days ago. Granted it was in Walmart on a Sunday morning, but really?! Maybe it is because I am not 18 anymore? Sorry you are having a rough week. Really hope that you feel better soon.
@fishstick-n-custard I don't get them either. It is even worse when they own a dog and act like that. Sad, but there are many of them out there. That really bites that you won't be able to hio tonight, but more so that you don't want to be around him right now. I hope that he realizes how petty the argument was soon and gives you a serious apology! *creepy internet hugs*
@Steph5454 Get it! Hope that its a successful jumping!!
@jennyColada WOOHOO!!! That is amazing!!! Huge congrats to you!
@Doxiemoxie212 Well done to YH! Sounds like he did good! And agree on the Zika front. I have not even put that on my radar, but I will not be able to visit my parents until that is resolved, or ttc is. Sigh.
@doxiemoxie212 This got super long! The tl;dr is I have long been curious about acupuncture and while I don't know if it will help with my fertility, I am liking it so far.
I have been twice - the acupuncturist said to come every other week. The first time I was really tired afterwards but I also noticed a really big difference in how relaxed I was for about a week afterwards. When difficult emotions came up TW related to my loss, I was able to acknowledge them and let them go in a way I had not been able to do before end TW. That time I was on my stomach and he said he worked on things like kidney function because my "kidney pulse" was weak. I went to my second appointment this past Monday and this time I lay on my back and I'm not exactly sure what he was pinpointing (there were needles in my head, on, foot, one hand, in my abdomen, and in my legs) but I did tell him where I was in my cycle, ie, about to ovulate. I felt some relaxation but it was not as extreme of a difference as the first time, I would assume because of the different pressure points this time around.
It will be hard to pinpoint (other than general feelings of well being and relaxation) whether the acupuncture is doing anything for my fertility. There have been studies that show that, for example, the use of acupuncture makes a big difference in IVF success rates (famously there is a German study that showed that about 42% of the acupuncture group got ku, whereas only 26% of the control got ku), and then I believe there are also studies that have shown there isn't much difference at all. I have read that acupuncture can help women who have issues with their cycle - like an-O, short or irregular periods, etc., so for women who try acupuncture to try to correct an observable issue it will be easier to observe whether there is any change. In my case my cycle appears regular so if I do get ku with a sticky bean I will never know if the acupuncture helped at all.
@zamora_spin yeah, I'd be in the same boat. I'm actually curious about it for DH - his job is so stressful, and he doesn't handle stress well at all. I think I would have to go too to be able to get him to go, but I figure it probably can't do any harm to try it, and I think our insurance covers some providers. Hmmmm
@nitnat007 was someone mean to your dog? @jrm_14 I hate sand too. It makes my skin crawl. @paleoprincess I always feel the same way about going back to work. It is bittersweet. @fishsticks-n-custard aww. I'm sorry you had a fight. OMG yes about the student loans. I am going to be paying them FOREVER @darkstar42 Oh no! Big hugs! @zamora_spin the combo of Advil and caffeine made it go away. I hate IT issues! My wifi has been acting up. @charlestonchew I usually feel like death during AF @lurvleybunchococonuts and @stargazer1lily I hate mosquitos too. I got eaten alive durning camping this year. @AliW220 I love bananas LOL. I get sore from the chiro too. Try to drink extra water to flush it out. @Steph5454 get it, girl! @JennyColada congrats! @doxiemoxie212 I almost got political and then thought twice, haha! That is sweet that YH got you a make up bag!
@doxiemoxie212 I have been thinking about having MH try going as well because like YH, he gets very stressed. If your insurance covers some or all of it that is awesome. My provider doesn't cover it at all - but according to the guidelines in my HSA, my HSA can be used to pay for acupuncture if it is for medical reasons. Now, should I have a doctor's note? Mmm... the guidelines on my HSA's website don't state that and list it under "qualified expense" so I'm just using my HSA to pay for it. I also bought a bundle of sessions this last time (6 for the price of 5).
R/R: Rave: It's DH birthday today!! I can't wait to go out to dinner with and give him his birthday present! I got him a new Green Bay Packers jersey. I think he'll be uber surprised.
CS/Q: Does anyone else have this happen, every other day I have been seeing EWCM since I got a good pos OPT, but then the next day on CM at all. Maybe this is something normal. Took another OPT this morning which as negative, but going to test again after work.
GTKY: What is something you wished would cease to exist? Mosquitos!!! I'd also have to hop on the student loans train. We'll be pay off ours for what feels like forever!!
@cards10 - Yes it was horrible. I completely blacked out. I bent over to pick up a laundry basket, it locked up, I cussed, and then I woke up on the floor all cold and sweaty. Great times. Best part? I didn't have any pants on. I was trying to find them in the laundry basket. LOL.

@darkstar42 OH NO!! I had something similar happen with my lower back. Excruciating spasms out of nowhere that sent me unconscious to the floor. Be kind to yourself. Lots of chiro visits and heat got me through it. I hope you feel better soon!!
@lurvleybunchococonuts - YES to mosquitoes.
@zamora_spin - I hear you on running out of steam. By the end of FW, I don't want anyone to touch me.
@fishsticks-n-custard - sorry about the spat you and hubby got into. I agree with nitnat007 on make up sex... i usually sulk for a bit, then HIO in the spare bedroom. change of scenery can be fun!
@jrm_14 - i'm sorry your cycle is wonky. come on out egg! it's still nice and warm on the other side
@mileswithmyles - yay for the run! please keep posting about your runs and eventualy it will guilt me into also exercising LOL. I shuddered when I read black widow. All those big creepy spiders can die. The little guys that eat bugs in my garden are OK though. I've learned to coexist.

The guy who gave it to us told us it would be a small plant, lol ya right.
CS/Q:nope
GTKY: What is something you wished would cease to exist? Team Mosquitoes I hate them nasty bugs.
@mileswithmyles Sorry about the headache, I hope you start feeling better.
@jrm_14 Sorry about the US. Hopefully soon!
@darkstar42 Ugh, that sucks so much. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
@zamora_spin Ooo nice little temp jump there. Yeah I would suspect you'll be heading over to TWW tomorrow.
@cards10 I think he was pissed about something else and just chose to take it out on me for whatever reason.
@charlestonchew I get really horny right after my cycle for some reason.
@nitnat007 @AliW220 I picked up a shift tonight so no make up sex. A partner offered it up and I jumped on it. I really don't want to be around him right now. I might regret it in the TWW but I'm still pretty angry at the pettiness of last night that I can't deal.

R/R: I think MH is feeling better--I'll jump him soon and we'll find out.
CS/Q: n/a (but might have to start temping if this cycle isn't it--it just stressed me out so much before)
GTKY: What is something you wished would cease to exist? I'm on team student loans and mosquitos
cards10 yay for HIO and hopefully O before your trip!
nitnat007 Sorry about that crazy lady. I definitely agree that I don't understand why people let something like that ruin their day. As an aside, I totally never considered tracking PNV on my chart. Genius!
mileswithmyles cheers for your run!
jrm_14 sorry that O isn't lining up.
paleoprincess ah I totally agree with you on the annoyance of using mispronunciations.
fishsticks-n-custard aw sorry about the fight with YH. I feel like stuff like that always comes up during FW for us.
zamora_spin Looks like you had great timing! Hopefully we don't see you back here again. Go away and stay gone. :P

GTKY: What is something you wished would cease to exist?lurvleybunchococonuts! I'm ALWAYS getting bit by mosquitos and it sucks (literally, lmao).

@Stargazer1lily. Mosquitoes don't usually bite me. However, of course they bit like crazy when we went to a Zika infested area.
@AliW220 whoa you passed out from back pain? Glad you figured out how to treat it!
@Stargazer1lily I'll help you eat some tomatoes
@Steph5454 enjoy vaca!! I probably missed it, where are you?
@JennyColada congrats on your dream job!!

WAYDTGKU: acronyms acronyms acronyms (titles titles titles)
R/R: DH got me a really cute, sort of large travel makeup tote from Kate Spade with all these interior pockets and storage things. It arrived yesterday, and I think he did a really good job. lol
CS/Q: nah
GTKY: What is something you wished would cease to exist? I mean, if we're not going to get super political.... I guess my student loans or... ZIKA! Mother effing zika because I want to go to the effing Caribbean!
@Stargazer1lily I have a tomato plant that is almost at the ceiling now (we live in an apt so no green house lol). It won't give me any tomatoes, though, so I think at some point I'm going to have to toss him.... :-\
@lurvleybunchococonuts I am enjoying the cat photo series
@zamora_spin how have you been liking the acupuncture? have you gone again since the first time, i can't remember?
@charlestonchew I think that's pretty common. It doesn't happen for me, but that might be partially because I know DH is sooooo grossed out by blood that he just would never agree to come near me. I think I might've had a stronger sex drive during my period though before that? I can't really remember. It's been 10 years. lol
@zamora_spin I am with you. I also want to pet all the dogs. I can drive DH nutty because I will literally go out of my way to go and pet the all the dogs. Hope you can get confirmation on O and head on over to the TWW stat.
@charlestonchew Yes. Totally has happened to me before. Odd timing, but what can you do?
@lurvelybunchofcoconuts Loving that cat in the lettuce hat. Ded!
@AliW220 I saw a girl wearing them a couple days ago. Granted it was in Walmart on a Sunday morning, but really?! Maybe it is because I am not 18 anymore? Sorry you are having a rough week. Really hope that you feel better soon.
@fishstick-n-custard I don't get them either. It is even worse when they own a dog and act like that. Sad, but there are many of them out there. That really bites that you won't be able to hio tonight, but more so that you don't want to be around him right now. I hope that he realizes how petty the argument was soon and gives you a serious apology! *creepy internet hugs*
@Steph5454 Get it! Hope that its a successful jumping!!
@jennyColada WOOHOO!!! That is amazing!!! Huge congrats to you!
@Doxiemoxie212 Well done to YH! Sounds like he did good! And agree on the Zika front. I have not even put that on my radar, but I will not be able to visit my parents until that is resolved, or ttc is. Sigh.
I have been twice - the acupuncturist said to come every other week. The first time I was really tired afterwards but I also noticed a really big difference in how relaxed I was for about a week afterwards. When difficult emotions came up TW related to my loss, I was able to acknowledge them and let them go in a way I had not been able to do before end TW. That time I was on my stomach and he said he worked on things like kidney function because my "kidney pulse" was weak. I went to my second appointment this past Monday and this time I lay on my back and I'm not exactly sure what he was pinpointing (there were needles in my head, on, foot, one hand, in my abdomen, and in my legs) but I did tell him where I was in my cycle, ie, about to ovulate. I felt some relaxation but it was not as extreme of a difference as the first time, I would assume because of the different pressure points this time around.
It will be hard to pinpoint (other than general feelings of well being and relaxation) whether the acupuncture is doing anything for my fertility. There have been studies that show that, for example, the use of acupuncture makes a big difference in IVF success rates (famously there is a German study that showed that about 42% of the acupuncture group got ku, whereas only 26% of the control got ku), and then I believe there are also studies that have shown there isn't much difference at all. I have read that acupuncture can help women who have issues with their cycle - like an-O, short or irregular periods, etc., so for women who try acupuncture to try to correct an observable issue it will be easier to observe whether there is any change. In my case my cycle appears regular so if I do get ku with a sticky bean I will never know if the acupuncture helped at all.
@jrm_14 I hate sand too. It makes my skin crawl.
@paleoprincess I always feel the same way about going back to work. It is bittersweet.
@fishsticks-n-custard aww. I'm sorry you had a fight. OMG yes about the student loans. I am going to be paying them FOREVER
@darkstar42 Oh no! Big hugs!
@zamora_spin the combo of Advil and caffeine made it go away. I hate IT issues! My wifi has been acting up.
@charlestonchew I usually feel like death during AF
@lurvleybunchococonuts and @stargazer1lily I hate mosquitos too. I got eaten alive durning camping this year.
@AliW220 I love bananas LOL. I get sore from the chiro too. Try to drink extra water to flush it out.
@Steph5454 get it, girl!
@JennyColada congrats!
@doxiemoxie212 I almost got political and then thought twice, haha! That is sweet that YH got you a make up bag!

WAYDTGKU: pnv, bd, opt, btt
R/R: Rave: It's DH birthday today!! I can't wait to go out to dinner with and give him his birthday present! I got him a new Green Bay Packers jersey. I think he'll be uber surprised.
CS/Q: Does anyone else have this happen, every other day I have been seeing EWCM since I got a good pos OPT, but then the next day on CM at all. Maybe this is something normal. Took another OPT this morning which as negative, but going to test again after work.
GTKY: What is something you wished would cease to exist? Mosquitos!!! I'd also have to hop on the student loans train. We'll be pay off ours for what feels like forever!!

CS/Q: I haven't noticed a big impact on CM from drinking green tea. I am only having one cup a day, so maybe I need to up my intake. Anyone else?
GTKY: also on team mosquito...and bad drivers!
