Testing: Have not decided, but I will certainly end up testing earlier than is reasonable and then regret it.
R/R: It is Friday!
CS/Q: If you have ever had an ovarian cyst, did you notice that it messed with your temps? I had one this cycle and my temp kept spiking up while I was WTO and I have been assuming it was the cyst. Usually I do have some rocky points during AF and immediately after, but this cycle has caused my cover line to be way higher than usual. It's nbd, but just curious. Chart in spoiler.
GTKY: Do you eat breakfast, and if so, what do you eat? Can you eat the same thing every day and not get bored? Yes, I have to eat breakfast every day, and I go through phases. For a while it was Avocado toast every morning, right now it is steel cut oats every morning.
R/R: No plans this weekend! It's gonna be glorious!!
CS/Q: no questions
GTKY: I do, but I've been working nights for so long that I don't really have a typical breakfast time, so anything goes. And I can't eat the same thing because I get bored!

Testing: I'd like to think that I'll be patient, and wait another few days, but realistically getting to the point where I'll be testing er'day.
R/R: I made someone cry at work. I manage someone who failed to complete an important assignment, and tried to hide it (like, a month late and it's not even half finished). I called her out, she cried, and now I have to apologize for hurting her feels. This doesn't feel like it's going to send the right message..?
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you eat breakfast, and if so, what do you eat? Can you eat the same thing every day and not get bored? I'll go through phases, months at a time, where I'll have the same thing. For a while it was liberte black cherry yogurt. These days I'm making a breakfast shake - banana, a shot of nespresso, peanut butter and milk. Yes, it's basically a milkshake.
@lizeybee well that seems dumb, she didn't do what she was supposed to do! Also your breakfast shake sounds amazing!

R/R: Had a great night last night celebrating my DH birthday! Tonight we are going to dinner with friends. Then this weekend I'll be MIA because we'll be at a memorial softball tournament.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you eat breakfast, and if so, what do you eat? Can you eat the same thing every day and not get bored? I love breakfast, I eat something different every day.
R/R: It's going to be a good day! Lunch date with a friend and hair appointment after
CS/Q: Temp came back up today
GTKY: Do you eat breakfast, and if so, what do you eat? Can you eat the same thing every day and not get bored? I do eat breakfast everyday. I usually get in the pattern of eating the same thing everyday until I get sick of it then I switch to something else. Currently I like English muffins with butter and blackberry jelly.
R/R: temp went up barely this am but TMI had a smidge of spotting last night and today I feel like AF is on her way for sure..... Unless my temp skyrockets tomorrow am I'm not testing and just waiting for AF
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you eat breakfast, and if so, what do you eat? Can you eat the same thing every day and not get bored? I try to take a banana with me to work every morning
@glitzandglitter have fun at your hair appt! Just doing maintenance or making a big chance?
@zamora_spinHow do you prepare your steel cut oats in the morning? I'm thinking I would like to start eating oatmeal. @pebbledamHave fun on your "no plans" weekend! @lizeybeeI'm sorry your employee failed you, hopefully you can make her feel better while making sure she understands the gravity of the situation @ajsanders-2Happy birthday to your DH and have fun at your softball tournament! @glitzandglitter Have fun on your lunch date and at your hair appointment! @thatcrazyauntieFX your temp goes up tomorrow!

Testing: Everyday until AF. BFN again.
R/R: Both: I finally had a better sleep last night, but I keep having BFP positive dreams that are clearly not true.
CS/Q: Not charting this month.
GTKY: Do you eat breakfast, and if so, what do you eat? Can you eat the same thing every day and not get bored? I usually have a decaf coffee and some sort of muffin or bagel. I wouldn't be able to eat the same thing every morning.
@glitzandglitter Not to get your hopes up but sometimes that type of dip is a good sign. Of course it could mean nothing. Isn't the TWW fun! @ChloandCoco I had dreams last cycle where MH told me I was ku with twins. It was very frustrating. We just started with the steel cut oats about a week ago. MH is supposed to be eating healthier and likes oatmeal, but doesn't have patience for it beyond the pre-mixed kind which actually add a lot of sugar. I make mine on the stove top - have made them twice and they came out really well both times. I followed the cooking directions from this site which also has some recipes: https://sweetpeasandsaffron.com/2017/05/healthy-steel-cut-oats-recipes.html I tried the blueberry lemon one and then also did a batch with peaches and cinnamon. I liked the blueberry lemon best of those two, but that might have been because I used canned peaches which weren't as good as fresh.
@lizeybee shouldnt she be getting fired or on probation, versus coddling? I may have a frozen heart, from my time as a youth coach and being in the military, but that's ridiculous.
@zamora_spin I love avocados, too! I visited family in Mexico 2 Christmases ago, and my 14yo cousin showed me a bunch of ways to make avocados into meals.
I now have them in salads, sandwiches, burgers, chicken sandwiches, tangy guac, spicy guac, quesadillas. She has been my favorite cousin ever since!

CS/Q: none
GTKY: Do you eat breakfast, and if so, what do you eat? Can you eat the same thing every day and not get bored?
I go through phases as to what I eat, but I do try to eat breakfast every day. During the work week, I am at work by 6:15/6:30, so I eat at work. Currently having Belvita blueberry bars, OJ, and my meds.
If I eat at home, its usually toast, blueberry waffles, cereal (raisin bran crunch, or crunch berries), or really random.
I did notice that most of us eat something until we are bored of it. My family and coworkers think its weird that I do that, lol

R/R: We seriously need some rain (I can't believe I am saying this) but we have had high temps for over a month and barely a drop of rain. Our fire ban is on and it wouldn't take a lot to have a lot of forest go up in flames !
DH is working late tonight so I am going to try and clean up my house which looks like it has been inhabited by frat boys !
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you eat breakfast, and if so, what do you eat? Can you eat the same thing every day and not get bored? I usually have a slice of toast or a protein shake. I could totally eat poached eggs every morning on a slice of toast but time rarely allows for that kinda jazz.
@pebbledam GL testing !! Fingers are crossed for you !!
@lizeybee You are right ! Not a good message to send. You wouldn't have to apologize had they have not lied....

@zamora_spin - I don't think I've ever had an ovarian cysts. How do you confirm them? Did you have an u/s? That blueberry lemon recipe looks delish! @lizeybee - I am not jealous of you today! I can't stand people like that! @ajsanders-2 - Have fun at dinner and softball! @glitzandglitter - Yay for your temp going back up! @thatcrazyauntie - Your temp is still above the CL; don't count yourself out@lizettsky @flashley-2 - Wildfires are scary shit!

@lizeybee - those look good @thatcrazyauntie - I'm sorry your temp didn't go back up as much as you'd like FX for a temp rise tomorrow. I am growing my hair back out from a pixie cut. It is slightly below my chin now and I'd like it to be at least shoulder length so I will only be getting a trim. I am bored of my hair color though so I might change that up - we shall see. @chloandcoco - I am still pulling for you! FX that it is still just too early. @zamora_spin - A dip at that point with a rise has me hopeful and spending way too much time with google lol @flashley-2 - I hope you get rain soon!
@pebbledam I have a history of cysts and the only way to deal with them is to go on bc - and I have been on bc much of my life. It was so long ago that they were diagnosed that I don't know much about the type or anything, just that sometimes I get them, only ever on my right side, at least going by the pain and the old u/s's. This cycle I had pain on the right that never went away from last cycle (worst pre and post-O pain ever last cycle) and even at times that area was a bit swollen feeling. That said, I did not have a u/s so I could be wrong. The pain I have is unpleasant but nuisance level so I don't bother calling the doctor about it because all they can do is put you back on bc, or, if you are emergent, then surgery.
Testing: Tomorrow morning unless AF shows up soon. A little bit of spotting today, but it's definitely not CD1 yet.
R/R: Got a great review from my boss at work! And went to the gym with DH after work although I was dead tired.
CS/Q: None.
GTKY: Do you eat breakfast, and if so, what do you eat? Can you eat the same thing every day and not get bored? I do eat breakfast, but always at work (except on the weekends). I tend to switch it around a little, and soon after starting TTC I cut out some of the not-so-healthy items. Right now my breakfast consists of plain yogurt with organic mango or peach puree, 2 cups of water and a couple of handfuls of fresh berries.
