R/R: Yesterday very much ended in a rant kinda way. We are having issues with DH ex and are possibly going to need to go back to court......again. But looking at the bright side here, we are going to face this head on, and together! It is just tough to see him depressed about the potential outcome.

ETA more tags!

@jrm_14 yummmm, pita chips are good, I feel your pain, I ate ALL the popcorn last night, DH got like two kernels.

@nitnat007 Ugh... I am so sorry to hear that about YH's ex. That can be so frustrating, if you ever need to vent feel free to PM me. Blended families can be tough and court can be so stressful. I hope it can get resolved as painlessly as possible! And FX YH has a fair court commissioner!

@businesswife aww, that's sweet of YH FX AF gets over and done with so you can start the "fun"

fishsticks-n-custard · August 2017

@jrm_14 Yeah that equation about sums up my life too.

@nitnat007 That's frustrating. Court is very fun. is mediation a possibility?

@BusinessWife That joke sounds like something I would say in real life.

@lurvleybunchococconuts What's cuke salad?

GTKY: I remember seeing this GTKY back when I was in bump jail/as a lurker, but it was fun. Tell me a joke

Ha, I think I remember that GTKY too, can't remember if this is the joke I used or not:

You know the bad thing about a Nickelback song? If you play it backwards, you hear a satanic message. But even worse, if you play it forward you hear a Nickelback song.

lurvleybunchococonuts · August 2017

@AC93639 Ouch, hope your back feels better! Also, sorry to hear about your mom! I hope it's nothing serious and she comes home quickly

@fishsticks-n-custard cuke salad = cucumber salad. My aunt used to make it all the time when I was a kid. It's equal parts water, white vinegar, and sugar, then toss in thinly sliced cucumbers and onion (I usually don't eat the onion cause I don't like it raw), dump it all into a dish (I prefer using a gallon ziplock bag) and refrigerate overnight. Every few hours or so I turn the bag over to make sure it gets mixed up. Then nom! My sister has made it and added tomato wedges to it and she said it was great (I don't like raw tomato either so... I stick to the cucumber parts lol). Also

your joke. Hope you feel better soon! Stupid men spreading germs

[Deleted User] · August 2017

@AC93639. Sorry to hear your mom went into the hospital... (((hugs))) fx she comes home soon! ❤

I had to go to google, becasue I could not think of one for the life of me!
What time did the man go to the dentist? Tooth hurt-y.

@jrm_14 I hear you on the self control thing. Due to anovulatory cycles wherein I was using OPKs, but not pregnancy tests, I currently have 37 pregnancy tests in my house. That's my excuse for my lack of self control anyway

@nitnat007 I hope you guys can figure something out without having to go to court. That's really rough.

@BusinessWife Awwww that's so sweet! And I love your joke!

@AC93639 Oh man, I hope your mom is okay, and gets to come home soon.

@fishsticks-n-custard Boo! Being sick is never fun.

nitnat007 · August 2017

@jrm_14 Its the thought that counts right? I would have been the same with though. Maybe next week? Sorry about the stress.

@BusinessWife Aw that is so nice to hear about YH. He is really staying involved with the process. It really helps when you feel like you are not on your own. Super sweet!

@lurvelybunchofcoconuts Thank you! Appreciate that a lot. We had more than a few trying times along the way. and I believe that as long as she feels that there is more to take, she will not stop. Sounds like you will have a fun weekend. What have you got on the agenda so far?

@AC93639 Sorry to hear about your back. And really hope that everything is ok with your mom and nothing too serious.

@fishsticks-n-custard Hey CB! Unfortunately I do not believe that mediation will be an option. We tried to go that route first, but she is after as much money as possible and since she in with a legal aid lawyer, and we pay out of pocket, we lose. The frustrating part is that we just settled on something not even six months ago and it cost us thousands and she walked away with an additional $100 a month. So to have to go through this again so soon is quite the hit. FX YH did not really get you sick and that is it just short lived. Feel better!

dukestar5 · August 2017

@jrm_14 We are CD buddies! Whoohoo!

@nitnat007 What a pain! I am sorry for the drama with YH's ex. Does he usually have a pretty good relationship with her? Is it regarding financial compensation?

@BusinessWife So sweet to see YH getting prepared too! And I laughed at that joke. It's awesome! ha.

@lurvleybunchococonuts I need your recipe for cuke salad. What else do you put in it? (ETA: I just saw your above post...yum). I make a really good quinoa tabouli with cucumbers & tomatoes and it is a yummy summer dish!

@AC93639 So sorry to hear your mom is in the hospital? Has she been sick for awhile or is this a recent development? Praying for a speedy recovering. And also FX your lower back pain is a good sign!

@fishsticks-n-custard I am sorry you are sick! Colds in the summer are the worst!

So I guess I go here now!

Month/cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: according to FF: -2, 0, +1

Typical LP Length: 11-13ish?

Testing: not for now

R/R: I have plans to go visit a good friend tonight and bring her dinner. It will be nice to catch up!

CS/Q: I think my cycle is really wonky. I usually have a longer cycle (32-34) and O around CD19/20. Last month my cycle was only 29 days...you're normal until you're not, right? And this cycle it looks as though I might have O'd on CD16, which is earlier than I anticipated. My chart is not as pretty and my temps are not as high as I thought, so we will see if CHs change. I thought everything looked great last cycle and no such luck, so I don't have too much hope for this one.

Have you all had your O date vary that much?

GTKY: I remember seeing this GTKY back when I was in bump jail/as a lurker, but it was fun. Tell me a joke

I bought some shoes from a drug dealer. I don't know what he laced them with, but I've been tripping all day.

[Deleted User] · August 2017

@dukestar5. Yeah I used to be pretty steady 14/15, then I took Ovaboost for a while and it shifted to more like 11/12, even after I stopped taking it. This cycle was randomly CD16, but I also had the SHG, so maybe that threw my hormones for a loop. A certain amount of variation is normal, I think. ;)

lurvleybunchococonuts · August 2017

@cricket648 I hope tonight goes well! Too bad on the BFN, hopefully it was just too early!

@nitnat007 so far the plan is run around like a crazy person after work Friday. Then go home and be lazy/work on crafts. Clean Saturday morning and then hang out with friend & her St Bernard puppy. Sunday church & (TW) weekly drive to pick up DSD (end TW).

@dukestar5 yum, I love quinoa! Also your joke made me LOL so my boss thinks I'm crazy now

stalkinghorse · August 2017

@BusinessWife I actually snorted out my coffee on your joke, gosh, haven't we all been there!!! Your DH sounds lovely, I know it's hard for a lot of the guys to relate, so any and all effort has got to feel great!
@dukestar5 This is the first cycle I've actually been tracking properly as opposed to just guessing on another cycle app. I'm realizing though that the O-date has probably been moving around a bit. You're normal till you're not isn't a super satisfying answer, but I think it's true. Gah!
@nitnat007 kudos to you for remaining level-headed for DH while he is going through this mess. That sucks. I would have such a hard time keeping my cool with this woman's behavior. I bet your DH really appreciates your support while he has to deal with this.
@AC93639 oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I hope this hospital visit is short-lived and that she bounces back.
@Cricket648 sorry for the BFN, but still early and look at your fabulous timing. FX for a better result soon!
@fishsticks-n-custard I will NEVER get tired of Nickelback jokes. NEVER

@lurvleybunchococonuts best chart I've seen in weeks!!! I love a good cuke salad, my mom adds in avocado, so delicious.
@jrm_14 Glad I'm not the only one stress eating. Why couldn't I be the kind of girl who can't eat when she's stressed! Me? I can't stop shoveling the food!

Month/cycle: 7/5

CD/DPO: 27/11

Timing: -1, 0

Typical LP Length: mysterious...

Testing: forgot my testers in my desk at the office so have to wait until tomorrow

R/R: rave: we're going to my inlaws beach house this weekend. rant: not so much a rant as just concern. My kid brother wanted my former therapist's number to get a prescription for his depression. On the one hand, I'm so glad he is finally getting help. On the other, I know how resistant he is to the idea of getting a prescription, so things must be hard for him. He is one of the kindest, gentlest beings, I hate to see him unhappy.

CS/Q: not today....

GTKY: Did you hear about the restaurant on the moon? Great food, no atmosphere.

fishsticks-n-custard · August 2017

@AC93639 Sorry I missed your post before. I'm sorry about your mom. I hope she heals quickly.

@lurvleybunchococonuts That sounds good! I think my mom made a variation on that when I was little.

@Cricket648 Sorry for the BFN, but it's still early! That's great timing.
@nitnat007 Ugh that stinks. She sounds really vindictive. That's so frustrating.
@dukestar5 Welcome to TWW!
@stalkinghorse That's both good and concerning about your brother. But good that he's reaching out for help, that's the first step. Big hugs to you both.

wishiwaspreggo · August 2017

Greetings - I apologize for being inactive but wanted to post an update for anyone who remembers my intro a while back.

My wife agreed to do the IUI!!!! I'm happy dancing all over the place in my head but I'm keeping it cool IRL because wife isn't super excited to get pregnant. However, she realizes that this is the only way we'll have a bio baby from her so she's gearing up to get 'er done.

She took Femara (2.5 mg) over 5 days and we did Ovidrel last night at 2:15 am so it was fun setting an alarm and getting out of bed to stick her with a needle. IUI is scheduled for tomorrow at 2:15 pm. As of Tuesday she had 2 follicles at 17 mm and (happily) 3 others that fizzled out so we can move forward with not too great of a fear of multiples. Fun fact: I had hoped for twins the first time around. After raising one baby from birth to 2.5 years I am very, very glad I didn't have twins and am very, very scared of having twins this time around so... fingers crossed for a singleton.

Anyway, if we could get some positive thoughts for fertilizing ONE egg tomorrow at 2:15 pm I would appreciate it.

And now for a joke which earned me a $20 gift card from my favorite brewpub on Facebook in the "best dad joke contest":

Dad: Does your face hurt?

Me: No. Why?

Dad: Because it's killing me!

Hahahaha

stalkinghorse · August 2017

@wishiwaspreggo I'm keeping everything x-ed for a successful single-egg day tomorrow. I am also terrified of twins and I've never even had children, so I have no idea what I'm talking about (typical).

nitnat007 · August 2017

@Cricket648 Sorry about the BFN. FX its still early. Haha I have so told that joke before. Never gets old.

@dukestar5 Hi friend! Ya for CH's. I O'ed a few days earlier than expected this cycle too. I am not convinced that FF wont move my O day either. Wait and see I guess.

@lurvleybunchococonuts PUPPY!!!!! I have such a huge softness for the big slobbery dogs. Sounds like a great weekend.

@stalkinghorse DH definitely does appreciate it. And we will get through it. Beach house sounds like fun! Sounds like a good thing that your brother is reaching out. I hope that he gets the help that he needs. The first step is always the hardest, they say.

lurvleybunchococonuts · August 2017

@nitnat007 Yup! she's the sweetest pup! Gonna be a horse once full grown. She's a dry mouth though, so not much slobber much to my friends joy

(TW this friend is due in October so not having to clean up dog spit from her walls is a big plus)

@wishiwaspreggo GL tomorrow! All the things crossed that everything goes well

@stalkinghorse GL with your brother. That's good that he's reaching out for help. Hopefully things will start to look up for him. Adding avacado sounds interesting, I bet it'd give it a creamier taste/texture

dukestar5 · August 2017

@wishiwaspreggo GL tomorrow! I missed your intro from awhile back...if you do not mind sharing, did you have your first baby or did your wife?

@Cricket648 Hope back to school night goes well for you! Do you have to plan anything special or just welcome kiddos/parents?

@fishsticks-n-custard Thanks, friend! Was missing y'all when you moved over here.

@nitnat007 Glad to see I'm not the only one with earlier O than I thought. Also, I am going to send you a PM.

@stalkinghorse Enjoy the beach this weekend...are your ILs coming too?

jrm_14 · August 2017

@nitnat007. Ugh, sorry about all the extra stress with your husband. Hopefully it settles down without too much cost and headache.
@BusinessWife. Awwwwh! Your H seems so invested and supportive. I laughed at the Reader's Digest joke. I actually have a subscription. In large print. Yes, I promise I'm not 80years old.
@lurvleybunchococonuts I love popcorn. We make it at least 3 times a week. And cuke salad is a thing where I grew up, too! I told MH the other day I wanted to make some! We also put fresh mushrooms in it.
@AC93639. Hope your mom is on the mend & home soon.
@fishsticks-n-custard. Lame men giving germs. Feel better soon! Good thing it isn't WTO & you're too sick to DTD.
@Cricket648. Sperry about BFN. FX it is too early.
@dukestar5 heyyyy CD buddy! I hear you about a wonky cycle. I typically have 23 day cycles and I didn't O until CD 16 this month. Hope it all straightens out for you. ETA: the last several months I had went between 9-11 days LP. Last month was 12. However, I've consistently had about 23 day cycles. So, this cycle will either be my longest or my LP will be the shortest,
@stalkinghorse. You have self control to not go buy more for FMU or holding until work. FX! Also, all the warm thoughts for your brother.

lurvleybunchococonuts · August 2017

@jrm_14 ooo... I bet mushrooms would be good in it too! Damn all these suggestions on what to add, totally gonna have to make some more *oh noes!*

AC93639 · August 2017

Thank you everyone for your kind words! They found she has Pneumonia and have been giving her a lot of antibiotics. She is recovering well and should be out tomorrow. She's been dealing with a lot of medical problems in the last few years but we are hoping this is the right direction to becoming healthier.

Cricket648 · August 2017

@stalkinghorse Oooo beach house sounds fun! Fx for your testing tomorrow!

@dukestar5 No, I didn't have to plan anything. I just had to be there to greet the families.

blackhottamales · August 2017

@dukestar5 you are too funny.

MrsBunz · August 2017

Month/cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: 30/10

Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, O, +1, +2

Typical LP Length: 14-16

Testing: bfn so far, pretty sure I'm out this cycle

R/R: driving 7 hours from Wi to Sd, so fun! ***TW*** my DS drives great, but my niece and nephew scream the whole time and it's now tuned into a 10 hour drive. Plus I'm feeling crampy so I think AF is coming on time, even though I O'd late this month.

CS/Q: anyone else had a randomly short LP, when they are typically regular?

GTKY: I remember seeing this GTKY back when I was in bump jail/as a lurker, but it was fun. Tell me a joke

my favortie joke from childhood:
what did the ranch say to the refrigerator?
close the door, I'm dressing!

***Fun fact I just realized I've been flipping my +/- in the timing section because I apparently can't read. So if you e read my timing section on previous posts, I lied to you...oops

zamoraspin · August 2017

I've been kind of mia this week and haven't really been able to keep up and am on mobile now so just love-tits. LOVE all the jokes.

Month/cycle: 2/2 AL

CD/DPO: 22/8

Timing: Good

Typical LP Length: 13

Testing: 11 dpo

R/R: Just been so busy but mostly good busy. Got in a quick round of yoga tonight and I'm just chilling.

CS/Q: Nope. Feeling out for no logical reason. My chart is at the top because that happens to me on mobile more often than I'd like...

GTKY:

What does a vegan zombie say?

Graaaaaaaiiiiiins

dukestar5 · August 2017

@zamora_spin. Glad to see you back! Yay for yoga. I am resolving to do it more often this fall.

@zamora_spin just have to say your chart looks so good even though I know that means next to nothing but I've been drinking and I'm so hopeful for you!!!

emmasemm · August 2017

Sorry on the app and a house full of visitors so going to love it and run I'm afraid

Month/cycle: 27

CD/DPO: 30/14

Timing: -5 -3 -1 O +1

Typical LP: 14-16

Testing: today BFN :-(

R/R: BFN was somehow harder this month as it's (hopefully if no delays) the last before we start IVF. DH was convinced we would manage this time so he's gutted too. Now it's back to waiting for AF, and actually if she could hold off another 4 days would be perfect... now I've said that I'm sure she'll come straight away... should have kept quiet!
Sorry... but if a longer rant... can deal with my disappointment but not when I see DH sad...

CS/Q: still can't link the chart in here, but pretty much text book stuff according to FF

GTKY: oh god I'm rubbish at jokes!
"I know a man with a wooden leg named Fred"
"What's the name of his other leg?"

Keeping fingers crossed for all others testing.
I will lurk until AF and then move to WTO...

pebbledam · August 2017

*lurking from WTO*

@dukestar5 - Since coming off BC in January, I have O'd between CD16 and CD60. You would not believe the amount of OPKs I go through.

dukestar5 · August 2017

@emmasemm So sorry about the BFN. ((Creepy internet hugs)). I pray that there are no delays for you moving into IVF.

@pebbledam Yes! What is your favorite brand of OPKs? Some that I've tried just seem to confuse me more...I cannot always tell if the line is darker.

pebbledam · August 2017

@dukestar5 - I have used wondfo's, easy@home's, and the walgreen's cheapie brand. If you ever need a second opinion, feel free to PM me.

ETA I have also used CBAD, but my estrogen surge is too long to make it work properly.

zamoraspin · August 2017

Thanks, @doxiemoxie212, my chart may just be tricksy. We'll see.

@dukestar5 Like @pebbledam I use cheapies (Wondfo or easy@home, same thing). I would recommend experimenting with them - use them several times a day and see if you can catch your surge that way. My biggest issue is dilution - I have to try to pull back my water intake a bit during the day if I plan to test in the afternoon or evening. Every month I think they'll never turn and then, boom, they do.

wishiwaspreggo · August 2017

@dukestar5 - I carried baby number 1 but I had a hard time getting pregnant. Took me 6 cycles. Tried 1 natural, 3 with Clomid, 1 with Femara + Follistim, and the last one was just Follistim. Then I had a hard pregnancy towards the end (gestational diabetes and preeclampsia) and I'm a little older than my wife so all those factors combined with us wanting a bio baby from nudged her into trying to get pregnant herself. I would've done it again if she absolutely did not want to try.

In any case... really hoping she's more of a Fertile Myrtle than me. She very well may be since she responded very well to such a small dosage of Femara but we shall see. Shoot, it took 600 iu of Follistim to get me pregnant :P lol
