@izza2 Such cute puppies! I just want to snuggle them!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: CD 18/ 1DPO
WTO - WAYDTGKU:
TWW - Timing: EOD (occasionally more) since CD7
TWW - Testing: Holding out until at least 12dpo. Would probably hold out until day AF is due but we are heading to Chicago on what I believe will be 12dpo
R/R: We were supposed to go to a baseball game friday night but my sitter bailed last minute! Ugh! 18 year olds should not have that kind of power over my life! But we found another sitter who came last night and we just went out to dinner. It was a fun date night.
CS/Q:
GTKY: AW Time! Share a picture of your pet! If you don't have a pet, is there any pet you'd like to get in the future? We don't have any pets as of now. We are planning to get a dog when our kids are old enough to lie about taking care of them, so maybe 3-5 years? Then we would get a rescue, hopefully something medium sized that doesn't shed too terribly much. I love beagles!

@lifesabeach85 - I'm sorry your first sitter cancelled but I am glad you were still able to go out to dinner.
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 24/10
TWW - Timing: all the days
TWW - Testing: Ugh BFN this morning. If temp is still up I will test again tomorrow.
R/R: If AF comes it will be right when school starts back up. I am really hoping she skips town
CS/Q:
GTKY: AW Time! Share a picture of your pet! If you don't have a pet, is there any pet you'd like to get in the future? No pictures sorry I have a rat terrier chihuahua mix who it tricolored, a chihuahua who is white with brown spots and a black cat.
@lifesabeach85 Have fun in Chicago! Have some pizza for me! That's where I'm from, lol. We moved to Florida two years ago because I couldn't deal with the winters anymore. I'm glad you didn't have to miss your date night!
@glitzandglitter Good luck! I hope AF gives you a miss! Your dog sounds like a cutie
GTKY: AW Time! Share a picture of your pet! If you don't have a pet, is there any pet you'd like to get in the future? We don't have any pets right now. We almost got a cat, but the one we fell in love with got adopted before we could get the money together for our apartment's pet fee. My old dog passed away the month after DH and I moved in together, which broke my heart, because she was basically my baby. She was a boxer/mastiff mutt. DH's parents have a puggle. We'd eventually like to get a cat and a dog, but they're both going to wait. We're waiting on the cat until after our trip to Arkansas, and the dog until we buy a house. We don't want to make a dog live in an apartment, especially since most complexes here have breed restrictions.

@izza2 Fingers crossed for O! And your dogs are freakin' adorable.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 21/11 if I use my guess for O. 21/5 if I use FF's guess.
WTO - WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV
TWW - Timing: -1, +1 or -3
TWW - Testing: BFN today. I'll probably test again Thursday if I don't see AF. But I've had some spotting today, so I may not have to wait that long.
R/R: I went into this cycle assuming things would be funky due to the IUD removal, and just hoping to ovulate in a reasonable amount of time and planning to ease into temping. It turned out to be much more eventful than I expected, and it's been a bit stressful. I'm actually looking forward to starting a new cycle that goes normally (fingers crossed, anyway) where I can use the new thermometer.
CS/Q: I think I'm going to start tracking CM for the next cycle. Any tips? I do plan on reading up on it, but I'm curious if anyone has learned anything they don't mention. Feel free to say "nope, it's just like it sounds."
GTKY: AW Time! Share a picture of your pet! If you don't have a pet, is there any pet you'd like to get in the future? No pets. I'm allergic to all animals with fur, and all of my childhood attempts at non-furry pets ended poorly. DH would like a dog, and I might consider it when we're done having kids and they're old enough to help with it. Assuming we can find one I'm not allergic to.
Another BFN for me again. Temp actually went up slightly from yesterday too so I was hopeful. I know you're not out until AF but I feel pretty out
@lifesabeach85 Have fun in Chicago! Glad you were still able get to a date night in last weekend!
@Secretstapler Sorry you cycle has been screwy! Hopefully next cycle will be "normal" (or better yet there is no next cycle)!
Month/Cycle: 8/8
CD/DPO: 22/7
WTO - WAYDTGKU: apparently not enough
TWW - Timing: -4, -3, -1, O
TWW - Testing: Wednesday at 9 dpo
R/R: I am testing Wednesday because I have an appointment with an OB to talk about next steps, my concerns, initial testing, etc. If I get a positive I will either cancel the appointment or ask for betas (since *TW* I've had a CP in the past /TW). I'm not expecting good news this cycle since I've had red spotting (borderline bleeding) the last two days accompanied by AF cramps - but it's SO early I don't know what to think.
My manager is out this week so I will hopefully be able to get a ton or work done. At least that's my goal.
CS/Q: I have forgotten to temp since Friday - oops!
GTKY: AW Time! Share a picture of your pet! If you don't have a pet, is there any pet you'd like to get in the future?
This was awhile ago because Maverick (golden retriever who is 10 months old now) is way bigger than Lilly (black lab/springer who is 4 years old). They were watching DH shovel during a blizzard last winter.

Rembrandt, 11 month old dauchshand mix.
We'd love to get all sorts of farm animals: goat, chickens, perhaps a pig. Also more dogs. All of our fish died and most of our shrimp, so our aquarium is down to just one lonely shrimp and 2 snails that will outlive us all.

@glitzandglitter I'm holding out hope for you! when is AF due?
@MrsMiller8588 How long is your usual LP? Have you ever had spotting this early before? 9DPO seems waaaay early for AF
@JennyColada That's annoying about YH, I hope his mood doesn't ruin staycation! Otherwise... angry sex?
@kimberbeep Nice! with all that moving around are you cubs or sox?

I'm sorry I've been MIA. The past 2 weeks have been crazy.
@mrsmiller8588, I'm glad you made an appointment! I'm hoping you end up not needing to go!
@jennycolada, here's hoping O holds out for vacation... or YH gets out of his grumpy mood!
@glitzandglitter, sorry for the BFN. It's still early!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: CD 15
WTO - WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, Tracking CM, HIO
R/R: DS is sick...again.
Today was the first day of school. I'm tired but it went well!
CS/Q: come on and O already! I'm usually CD 13 or 14. I'm beyond where FF predicted my FW. Our timing is starting to look bad.
GTKY: AW Time! Share a picture of your pet! If you don't have a pet, is there any pet you'd like to get in the future?
My Scottie and Westie are my profile picture.
But, that means I get to try tracking CM! (wooo...) So thanks for the advice @lalala2004 and @lifesabeach85! I expect I'll feel a lot less squeamish about it pretty soon.
@JNCPro3130 keep HIO! Hope you O soon! That's when I'm always glad I'm temping so I know to keep HIO until it's confirmed!
AFM - Spotting has turned to mostly brown/pink tinged CM and AF cramps still in full force. I'm gonna be pissed if I have cramps the week before AF and during... I am hoping that even if this isn't my month my LP will still be 12 days. Glad I have my appointment tomorrow!

@JNCPro3130 also ditto about our bodies needing to follow instructions. Maybe you can get in another BD before O?

@JNCPro3130 That's frustrating... just have to keep at it I guess... Why can't our ovaries just give us a schedule in advance?
@Secretstapler sorry AF showed up. I've never had an IUD but after I got off BCP my cycles were wonky for a few months, and from what I understand that can happen with any form of contraception. Doesn't mean it will last forever or that you won't O though.
@MrsMiller8588 thinking of you today! FX for a good appointment!
AFM: Watery CM yesterday and a "high" OPK today...Annnnnd MH is in a major mood. Two days of sucky sleep for him as well as a long day at work today for him and basically we won't be able to HIO until tomorrow at the earliest. FX that I can get good timing from a Thurs/Fri BD (and Sat if temps hold out...). Last time I had fetile CM at CD 12 I O'd on CD 15, which would give us -2, -1, 0, which would be pretty good. BODY PLEASE COOPERATE.

I hope your H rallies and is able to get the job done even if he doesn't feel like it! Maybe add new sexy outfit will do the trick? -2,-1,O would be great timing!! FX for you!!!

@MrsMiller8588 haha I did try on one of my sexy lacy too small bras the other day just to see if it's still worth keeping (versus tossing in the "donate" pile). Luckily I decided that it's not too-too-small to have to get rid of.
I did give MH a heads up this morning too ("no pressure because we don't need to do anything tonight if you're not up to it, but I got a 'high' this morning, so I'm thinking it'll happen on Friday, just FYI"), so hopefully he can get it together. I think the timing could end up being really good too!

@JennyColada that timing sounds pretty spot on. Sexy lingerie usually does the trick. If all else fails just hop on and do all the work? Who could complain about that...
I think I love you!

This might be TMI but I have a serious hankering for him just bending me over the couch and going to pound town.
As an aside: I went to Home Goods today on my lunch (I needed new soap and they have the fancy ones for $3.99 when they're $8.99 at the store) and they had some sock rattles that I wanted and have on my Amazon wishlist ($8 on Amazon, $4 in HG!) and bought them.

If I'm in the mood (or we haven't had sex in a couple of days and know I'm in FW) I'll text H some naughty stuff (no pictures because I never know where he's opening his texts!) and he usually comes home expecting bathroom sex. Which is our go-to when DSS is home and it's not even close to bed time.
I've had to "inspect a spot" on H and "look at the drain pipe" more times than I can remember.
