Re: TWW Tuesday 8/8
CD/DPO: 21/5
Timing: -5 -2 0 +1
Typical LP Length: not sure
Testing: we'll see. Already feeling out this cycle.
R/R: Our two best friends are going through a separation and it's the most heartbreaking thing. Makes me hold DH a little tighter.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you already live in your dream home?No! We absolutely love our house and it's perfect for our first home but we have have big dreams of building or renovating our perfect house in the country some day. Like way in the future lol.
<p>Month/cycle: 27 / 17th cycle since starting testing
</p><p>CD/DPO: 19/3</p><p>Timing: N/A</p><p>Typical LP Length: 14 days</p><p>Testing: Nope! Just waiting for AF so I can order meds and start stimming for IVF!!!</p><p>R/R: This is really happening!!!! It's getting so close!</p><p>CS/Q: Nope.</p><span>GTKY: Nope. We rent an old farmhouse tho, with a big open backyard, and I love it.</span>
Decided I'ma go here for now. I was lazy this cycle and couldn't really deal with life for a few weeks and decided to say screw it, we gonna have a worthless cycle of doing nothing but hump and take PNVs. So... I'm not really sure if I'm still WTO or TWW or if I'm even gonna O this cycle. Based on previous cycles FF seems to think I should be here. So...
Month/cycle: 7/6
CD/DPO: 22/??
Timing: We been humpin'
Typical LP Length: Last month was 11 days
Testing: FF says I should be bleedin 8/19, so... 8/20?
R/R: rant - no booty last night. rave - early morning booty this morning! *brown chicken, brown cow*
CS/Q: Nope, not unless you wanna see our hide the pickle score board. Of course now I'm totally regretting not temping or even tracking CM/CP, but meh. Either I'll start bleeding sometime around 8/19, or I'll poas. If BFN + no blood, wait a while and repeat. FX dh will cooperate and we can keep HIO just in case of a late O.
GTKY: Do you already live in your dream home? HAHAHAHA! Sorry, I mean no. For now it's what we need, but definitely not the "dream"-------------------------------

@lee^2 Sorry to hear about your friends. It is never an easy decision to make, but hope they are doing the right thing for themselves in the long run.
@BusinessWife Yay!! Welcome to the TWW!! Your home sounds beautiful! I would love to be on some sort of farm one day.

Typical LP Length: 13 days
Testing: Nope
R/R: Its back to work today after a long weekend, so dragging my butt into the office. But, got to go to the gym this morning and starting the day out right!
CS/Q: Chart in spoiler.
No we definitely do not. It is cute and small and we have done some huge improvements to it over the years. But it is too small for us now and I wont say if, I will say when we are successful with ttc'ing, we will very cramped. The plan is to sell and find something more suitable in two years or so. With more yard space and not on a huge hill that is very troublesome during the winter months.
@BusinessWife FX TWW goes by quickly and you can get started
@nitnat007 jealous of your long weekend! Did you do anything in particular? Or just spend and extra day at home? Good job starting the day off with a workout

@lee^2 Man that's rough about your friends. I'm so sorry.
@businesswife I never thought I'd be rooting for a period, but come on AF!
@lurvleybunchococonuts Boo for no booty, but happy to see you here!
@nitnat007 Good on you for getting to the gym this morning. I've never been able to do morning work-outs. Hopefully your work day goes quickly.
@ajsanders-2 I'm also curious if your sister lives in Texas! I'm in Texas!
@jrm_14 All the wondfos baby. Me too.
Month/cycle: 5/3
CD/DPO: 26/4 (based on new CH)
Timing: -3,-2
Typical LP Length: 11
Testing: Meh, probably next Monday or Tuesday
R/R: Rant - just found a cup of old milk hidden in a corner in our game room. It smelled like death when I was washing it. I thought about leaving it for my husband to deal with but then realized it would fossilize before he would clean it.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you already live in your dream home? I wouldn't call it our dream home, but close. We built it (through a builder) but living here there are definitely things we would change. But the neighborhood is amazing so I doubt we'll move anytime soon. (Pool about 4 blocks away, playground right next to our subdivision, tons of walk/run trails, splash pad about a 20 min walk away which is free, grocery store is a 10 min walk, restaurants about that far with an outdoor area where the neighborhood shows movies during the summer, elementary school 10 min walk, middle school 15 min walk, literally if we didn't need to go to work we would never need to leave our little township. And a walkable neighborhood is next to impossible to find in Texas)
Married DH: 2013
DD: Dec 2015
BFP 8/14/17 --> Due 4/27/2018
@ajsanders-2 That is an exciting week for you. FX that both interviews go well!
@jrm_14 Ha! DH has to mow it. Fortunately it is just the front that is bad. The street itself is treacherous though and as soon as the snow gets bad, I head home from work early. There have been a few cases of the car on ice skates which are pretty hectic.
That is great that you love your home. How long have you been in it for?
ETA comments.....
@fishsticks-n-custard Hey CB!! I am curious if FF will change my O date in a couple days too as I think we have some chart similarities. I dont think there is much worse than old milk. It is so vile! Good on your for cleaning it yourself.
DD: 07/19/18
EDD: 06/22/22
Month/cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 31/12
Timing: 0 and +1
Typical LP Length: 12??
Testing: Tomorrow!!! I am so impatient and anxious. I have that -TMI- "wet" feeling like my period is coming, so I'm not feeling so lucky.
R/R: none
CS/Q: I usually wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom (anywhere from 12-3am). Since I am testing tomorrow with FMU, should I just try to hold it or will it be ok with my alarm at 615?
GTKY: Do you already live in your dream home?No. We just bought our first place in Chicago about 1.5 yrs ago and while it is lovely, it is not everything I want. I would love a large house on a lake with a walk in closet, massive kitchen, lots of natural light, 4 bedrooms, pool--the works. I didn't grow up with money and always lived in small places or with another family member, so now that we have great jobs and do very well, I want to spread out and have a big house.
@lurvleybunchococonuts I only saw your responses earlier-not your first post. But still, hi
@nitnat007 We have a hill in our backyard MH complains about mowing. We have been in our home for slightly over 2 years now! Our neighborhood sounds a lot like @fishsticks-n-custard 's. Except we don't live in Texas!
@ajsanders-2 GL to both your sister & husband!
Month/cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 20(?)/7
Timing:O (IUI)
Typical LP Length: 13
Testing: I have the right defending me from self-incrimination
R/R: My brother lost his bloody mind yesterday over a simple, nbd mistake, and he and his wife have proceeded to disown myself and DF. It was also my mom's birthday, and when I called her to wish her a happy birthday, and found out 1. no one in the family had called/text and 2. no one had even attempted to make plans with her; DF and I took her out to her favorite German restaurant, where we had a great time, and got to eat outside (protected) during an amazing thunderstorm. We also had/have plans to do dinner with her when we get DSS back from his dad.
Bittersweet night
CS/Q: none
GTKY: Do you already live in your dream home?
No. I bought it knowing it would be my step-up home, but not realizing I would be getting engaged and starting a family anytime remotely soon. We have just over a year left on my residency requirements for my VA loan, before we can sell it and get our dream home (fortunately, we have a very similar idea on that)
TTC since May 2017, first cycle (medicated) with IUI August 2017 using SD
@lee^2 I hope they can find peace, no matter the outcome. It hurts to watch people you care about go through things like separations.
@lurvleybunchococonuts You just made my day! Hopefully a lazy cycle pays off! Its always cool to hear those success stories, when couples just say screw it, and get their BFP.
@jrm_14 if I were to be honest, I would admit that there are a few empty pee stick boxes laying around.... but shhhhhh. DF made me do it, with about 75% of them....
@fishsticks-n-custard You didn't just throw the cup away? Is it sentimental? Unless its my glass pyrex, most gross containers don't survive in my house. Also, your location sounds amazingly perfect! I'm a bit jealous.
@jnmiller324 hopefully AF doesn't show up? Also I totally understand the big house thing. DF had a 3200sqft house (rented) with her ex, and fortunately decided it was a bit *too* big. We really want a ranch (which go between 1800-2600sqft here) with a big yard, which in our area means about .20-.30 acre lot.
All I want is a darn yard and a garage....and maybe an island in my kitchen..... (I currently have none of those...my yard is about 12ft x 30ft, only big enough for the dog)
TTC since May 2017, first cycle (medicated) with IUI August 2017 using SD
@fishsticks-n-custard. I have a Prime delivery of another brand coming tomorrow. They seemed just as cheap as Wondofo. Link in spoiler. (Hopefully it doesn't take you to my personal Amazon page. Ha)
Edit: words.
@lee^2 5 DPO is early! You're not out yet!
@BusinessWife Yay!!! we are still kinda in sync! I am so excited for you! It is so so close!
@lurvleybunchococonuts Love your gif!! lolol So great you are having a free form cycle.
@nitnat007 heres hoping you soon have a reason to start looking for a bigger dream house
@ajsanders-2 Yay for your job hunters! fingers crossed for them
@jrm_14 lol... i love wondfos... you can just poas as much as you want!
@fishsticks-n-custard Your neighborhood sounds awesome!
@jnmiller324 I dont think you *have* to hold it, but i know i probably would! lol since it would be so early i would want the highest concentration.
CD/DPO: 19/3 DPO
Timing: n/a
Typical LP Length: 12
Testing: n/a
R/R: no rants.... rave: finally O'ed (its been months since I have been able to post in TWW)
CS/Q: I dunno.... I thought I O'ed on Sunday based on O pain and other stuff....but FF and I guess my doc feels like im already well past O. My temps def line up with that, but my monitor and CM and CP and OPK (in my mind) point to Sunday. I know, youre normal till youre not, but since my estrogen priming is based on O date it just makes me wonder
GTKY: Do you already live in your dream home? I think so... I mean there are tons of castles and mansions that would be "dream homes" (like the disney castle! lol) But for the style of life i live and where i want to be (and what i can afford) then yes, we are in our dream home. We love our little townhouse even though it has its challenges (we rent two 2 BR apartments and live in the garden level duplex) we really love our little place@futbol0401 oh that's so hard for your mom. Thank goodness you remembered and were able to save her day. Families are always a bit complicated. I hope your brother takes a time out and realizes how important family is.
@jnmiller324 Oh I LOVE Chicago. But I hear you on wanting the space, especially to be on a lake, those are so peaceful and beautiful.
@fishsticks-n-custard laughing about the milk....
also your neighborhood sounds like an absolute dream. To be able to walk to everything, oh lovely!
@jrm_14 it sounds like you have a lovely spot. thank you for the other brand... like I need more amazon prime enablement!!!
@lurvleybunchococonuts oh my gosh, your post is my spirit animal. I need more of that attitude I think in this whole process. I am really keeping my FX for you that the more spontaneous spirit leads to a BFP!
@lee^2 I am so sorry about your friends. It is really hard to watch that and know how to best support.
@BusinessWife oh my goodness, I am so jealous of your farmhouse. Fingers crossed AF comes and you can get going asap!
@nitnat007 Commiserating with you on getting back to work after a break. I sort of look at everyone befuddled the first day back after vacation like, how on earth did you guys convince me to come back? Good for you for working out, that's such a good strategy to at least get some happy chemicals going before you hit work.
@ajsanders-2 keeping fingers way crossed that the interview goes well today for DH and S. I'm very intrigued by Dallas, I've loved it every time I've visited. I just love how friendly Texans are compared to folks in LA. Ok, I'm making sweeping generalizations here and probably going to get in trouble!!
Month/cycle: 7/5
CD/DPO: 26/10
Timing: -1,0
Typical LP Length: not sure yet, finding out
Testing: holding off for now
R/R: rave: got back from a super fun horse competition in Sonoma. I had an absolute blast minus <rant> getting tossed by my horse at one of the jumps. I said "yes", he said "no thanks"... and I somehow ended up landing in a pile of manure. In my new coat and belt... Like out of a movie. Here's the view:
I'm fine, so it's really mostly funny!
CS/Q: [spoiler]
[/spoiler]
GTKY: Do you already live in your dream home? We live in a really lovely house in a very nice neighborhood, but honestly, I dream of living someplace much more low key, with land and space. Hopefully soon!*TW*
Just one of her favorite sippies so I think there would have been epic tears if it went in the trash.

@dragonette505 YAY for having O'd
@stalkinghorse lol, glad I could be some inspiration. That's the feeling of it all today, it might be a WTF was I thinking in a week or so :P Not much I do about it now though so might as well just try to relax and not get all bonkers stressing about it. Glad you had fun at your competition aside from the being tossed off and landing in poo part. Glad you're okay. Horses creep me out, but good for you with it! I'll just watch (maybe) from far far away

@BusinessWife. The old farmhouse seems like a very peaceful place to live. I would love to live on more land!
@lurvleybunchococonuts. Your posts always crack me up. You have the best sense of humor...I'm thinking maybe you need a blog!
@stalkinghorse. Glad the Sonoma trip went well, but I'm sorry about the whole getting thrown off into a pile of manure part!
@fishsticks-n-custard Yucky!! Leftover milk sippy cups are the worst...honestly, I toss them if it's been more than a day or so.
@lizeybee I'm sorry. ((Creepy internet hugs)). Hoping you can enjoy the visit with your ILs.

@fishsticks-n-custard I mean........she didn't even realize it was missing, did she??? 0:)
Sidenote: I'm a bit of a jerk.....but I coach 12yo boys (since they were 8yo boys), and like to call kids out on the flaws in their logic. DSS is learning that one the hard way after claiming he vacuumed our room (he did upstairs, I did downstairs, because he wanted to trade)..... problem being: we had 4 laundry baskets that were blocking vacuum-access to 90% of our room. They were unmoved....
@stalkinghorse my DF is PISSED, to say the least (it was a group chat with the 3 of us, where all this went down). I'm more worried about the fact that this is COMPLETELY out of character for him (almost "in character" for SIL, but she has never hit this low), so enlisted my oldest brother and my sister to see if they can find out what is going on with him. We have a family hx of addiction issues, and he had an issue with alcohol in the past, but straightened up..... hoping it is not anything along those lines...

@lizeybee oh gosh, I'm so sorry and keeping everything crossed that everything is actually ok and your body is being a little weird. Never thought I would pray for a weird body, but either way creepy internet hugs...
@dragonette505 glad you O-ed and get to be on this board after a month, that's a long time to linger. It looks like Sunday to me as well on your chart, especially if you felt the ovulation pain...but then again, I am no doctor and do not play one on the internet. FX you get stronger confirmation signals asap!
@lizeybee I suppose I never really thought about a dude being on here... I suppose there's no real reason why they couldn't be, but I've never seen one... I feel like it'd be similar to spotting a mythical creature, men? on TB? That's just silliness
@jrm_14 ooo! I'm in WI too, where in the state are you going? I'm sure we would have lots of suggestions

@futbol0401 I feel you on the family politics. Had some of my own over the weekend and its tough to handle when people are seeming to be over dramatic about simple issues. FX that it gets sorted out quickly. Really glad to hear that you got to spend time with your mom. I am sure that it meant a great deal to her that you guys made the effort.
@dragonette505 Yay for O!! Glad to see you over here now. I also felt like I got O pain the day after FF told me I O'ed, as well as a +OPK the following day as well. Must be something in the air. FX that the timing is right for your priming etc. Your places sounds lovely!
@stalkinghorse Glad that you had a great weekend with the show. Except for the poop! I used to work with a show jumping barn many moons ago and did the circuit with them (although I do not really ride myself) love working with horses, and animals in general. And again your spoiler is showing my chart, I do not know what is going on with that. I see a 4dpo chart and I know that you are 10dpo? Sigh.....sometimes IT stuff makes my head hurt.
@lizeybee Really FX that it is just a weird glitch and that you get your BFP. (hugs)
ETA comment
@lurvleybunchococonuts Full disclosure, the motivation only lasted for about 2 hours and then the remainder of the afternoon was spent on the sofa watching Netflix and bumping, so don't give me too much credit.
@lurvleybunchococnuts I'll move my WI discussion over to randoms so I don't clog this thread
@fishsticks-n-custard my husband would never have cleaned that cup either...lol
@lizeybee I'd say keep testing, keep your hopes up you're not put till you're out!
@futbol0401 families are tricky, I always thought when me and my sisters grew up we'd get along...like in movies. So not like the movies!
@BusinessWife been lurking and following your IVF story and wanna say good luck!! Go get em babies in ya!
[spoiler] https://fertilityfriend.com/home/6baf03 [/spoiler]
I'm really sorry about that!!! So cool that you worked with a barn, that is super rad!!!
Month/cycle:2/2
CD/DPO: 27/9
Timing: -4,-1 (thought I would O on day 14 but it was late on day 18)
Typical LP Length: 11-12
Testing: already did in case all my OPKs were wrong and I did O on day 14... my temps were all over the place this month. BFN
R/R: rant: this site reloads all the time on my iPad, I wanna post more but get sooo frustrated so I mostly lurk!
Rave: going to get my antidepressants refilled tomorrow, I did 2 full months without and my depression is back, bad! This was such a hard decision for me to make but I know for me, taking clonazepam/ sedatives regularly is muuuch worse than antidepressants. Also I reaaally would like to sleep. Insomnia sucks.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: Do you already live in your dream home? We bought our condo about 4 years ago and we thought prices were insane then. Buying has gone up about 25%. So, we thought we'd have this as our starter and in a few years move again, not at these prices! Haha we could sell high, but we'd also be buying high. Concentrating now on staying put, decorating and making this home cozy and lovely. My dream house Pinterest board is where it's at tho! Haha
