Re: TWW 9/6
CD/DPO: 23/6
Timing: Meh, ok
Typical LP Length: 12ish
Rant/Rave: Rave: Work from home day! Rant: H is super stressed over financials. I get that we're in a tight spot due to the business being a wee little one right now and the wedding this year but while I see a light at the end of the tunnel because business is really picking up, H just sees doom and gloom. He's pessimistic while I'm optimistic. It usually balances us out but last night it was a bit too much for me. FX he's in a better mood tonight.
CS/Q: My chart is not very pretty this month.
GTKY: I love NFL games! I'm a big Panthers fan. We're actually going to a game in a couple of weeks for my bday! I loved going to the games in college, my school had a great fan base and the vibe was a lot of fun. Then in high school I was a cheerleader and loved those games as well. Basically, I love football a lot.
CD/DPO: 18/6
Timing: -2, -1, O
Testing: Nope
Typical LP Length: 14 days
Rant/Rave: MH's boat is coming back into port today. But he is on duty, so I wont be seeing him. They are just in to pickup provisions and then heading to Bermuda for Humanitarian Relief. So proud.
GTKY: Do you watch football? If so, who's your favorite team? College, professional or other? Other fall sports you're excited for? Nope, I don't really do sports and neither does MH. TV shows though, yes. Definitely a few that I am happy to see come back again.
CD/DPO: 23/9
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Testing: I almost did it this morning but then I told myself I only have 5 cheapies and I don't want to waste them
LP length: ?
R/R: Rant - morning traffic was a b this morning. Its like school starts and no one knows how to drive anymore!?! Rave - I was taking a bath last night and I couldn't get the whole tub to fill up and have it hot enough so DH was heating water up on the stove and adding it to my bath. He did this for a solid 45 mins so I got to enjoy a nice long hot bath while I read The Magnolia Story.
CS/Q: NA
GTKY: I started this while I was waiting for tickets to go on sale for our college rivalry game (MN Gophers's Vs. WI Badgers) I went to MN so I'm a fan of the Gophers but I'm from Madison so all of my family are Badger fans. Its a good time. I'm also a WI Packer fan.

@nitnat007 What does your DH do? It's cool he's getting to do so much relief for those that need it right now.
@krashke YEA! You got your bath! Your DH sounds so sweet to do that! How was your book? I haven't heard of that one...
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 52/14
Timing: -3
Testing: Friday
Typical LP Length: ??
Rant/Rave: Ladies, I am tired of being here...lol. I feel so stuck. I thought my temp was going down which I was excited for cause that would suggest AF on the way, but nope, back up this morning. Hopefully i'll be one of those that gets her period, and then the temp lowers during? I don't know what to think anymore. I'm just hoping that I O'd, and that I will in fact get my period soon, because otherwise that means this is an anovulatory cycle...which I really don't want to go down that road again.
CS/Q: Link in siggy
GTKY: Do you watch football? If so, who's your favorite team? College, professional or other? Other fall sports you're excited for?
I'm from Texas, but nope, I don't do sports. The only sports I actually watch are equestrian sports, and sometimes horse racing.
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 34/14
Timing: solid
Testing: Welp I can't pee on any more sticks (lest I go completely insane) so I'm waiting until Friday - if AF doesn't show then I will test again.
Typical LP Length: Honestly it's never been this long so feeling cautiously hopeful...and of course ALL of the SS is going on (save me).
Rant/Rave: I had to get to the office super early this morning - rant because of waking up earlier but rave because feeling productive!
CS/Q: Wonky
GTKY: Do you watch football? If so, who's your favorite team? College, professional or other? Other fall sports you're excited for?
I don't watch football...getting excited for hockey season though!
@nitnat007 I'm with you on the no sports. What shows are you most excited for?
@krashke Thanks for getting this thread started today! And I agree, traffic always gets terrible when school starts up. Bleh.

Typical LP Length: 13 days
Rant/Rave: School officially starts today! I don't start teaching until Friday, but we have a fancy opening ceremony where we all wear regalia today. Always fun times. No real rant today.
CS/Q: I really, really appreciated hearing from those of you yesterday who shared your experiences about first IF testing appointments with the ob/gyn. I have my appointment tomorrow morning, and I'd welcome more info if anyone else wants to share! Chart below.
GTKY: Do you watch football? If so, who's your favorite team? College, professional or other? Other fall sports you're excited for?
Football? You mean this, right?
@nitnat007It's too bad you won't get to see YH today, but what he is doing is awesome!
@krashkeThat was so nice of your husband to do that for you.
@canucklehead123FX AF stays away!
@nitnat007 sorry you wont be able to see YH but it's awesome that he is doing so much to help
@josie12367 yes! I decided why wait. I needed the distraction more now. The Magnolia Story is the memoir by Chip and Joanna Gaines from Fixer Upper. It's cute to read their story but not earth shattering literature. ETA: sorry you feel stuck! I have never wished AF on anyone but I hope you get some closure in your cycle one way or the other.

@SkilledSailor Sailor Really hope that YH is in a better mood soon. Totally understand being on opposite sides of those things, sometimes the other person just needs to have their completely down in the dumps, negative moment. Then can bounce back again. Hope that is the case. And look at you go, being a cheerleader! That is amazing!
@krashke YH is winning big time! Definitely a keeper. Don't even get me started on the back to school traffic. It took me over an hour to get home yesterday, for a drive that takes me 10 minutes in the morning. Accidents, construction, people....major road ragey! And thank you!
@josie12367 MH is in the Navy. He was just supposed to be out until Friday, but now they are not sure how long they will be gone for. Could be a week up to a month. FX that your cycle gets figured out soon and you are no longer in limbo.
@canucklehead123 Glad that you are having a productive day!
@darkstar42 YES! Someone is with me on this no sports thing lol. Shows, probably Grey's. I have been a lifer on that show and just can't seem to kick it. But I also really enjoy all the Chicago shows as well. PD, Fire, etc. You? Glad you are having a good day at work today, sounds like fun.
@ChloandCoco Thank you! I am rather proud. Sorry about that smoke, hope it starts clearing up soon. Go Canada!!!
@canucklehead123 Fx that this cycle is the one!
@ChloandCoco We were getting smoke here (MN) over the weekend as well, and there aren't even any fires in the state! This fire season is really scary.
@nitnat007 I actually don't have a TV, so I never got hooked on Grey's. Maybe it wasn't available on any of my streaming platforms? I'm not sure. I'm really looking forward to Stranger Things, and I like the Netflix Marvel series, so once MH is less stressed we'll catch up on Defenders. I tend towards the sci fi/nerdy shows.
Haha and that is exactly my feelings on NFL too. Love it!
I hate sports. I hate watching them and I hate playing them even more. ESPN came to my town last Thursday (I live in a college town) to do the kick-off to the college football season. I was talking with a student I work with and said "Yeah, well, you know, basketball is such a big deal here." She corrected me to say it was a football game. I have no idea what's even going on or what season it is.
DS is only 2 but I have a feeling he's going to be a jock. People mistake him for a 4 year old all the time because of his size and motor skills. I probably sound like a humble-bragging asshole and I apologize for that. But I just think it's ironic because I'm fat and lazy and can't think of any logical reason to chase a ball around thus my hatred of sports.
I'm sure one day I will be sitting in one of those mom tents on the sidelines of some field. I just hope he takes to basketball so I can sit indoors.
@krashke Your H is the real MVP. Seriously, that's love. That's a good idea with the budget. I might prepare that for him today.
@josie12367 Exactly! I took a huge pay cut to start this business but it's a choice we continually made together. Meh. Sorry you're having such a frustrating cycle.
@canucklehead123 Yay for a productive day!
@darkstar42 I love that you're so happy to be back at work! What soccer team do you follow?
@ChloandCoco Thank you! The business celebrates the 1 year mark this week and it's definitely churning a profit at this point. I'm tempted to print the sales reports and hang them on the fridge for him, haha. Are you near the forest fires or is the wind just super strong?
CD/DPO: 15/3
Timing: -5-4-3-2 +1
Testing: forcing myself not too. I thought it had surely been a week since 0 day yesterday. Looked at my Calender and it had been 2 days. Why does time move so slow!!
Typical LP Length: 12 days
Rant/Rave: rant: right now there is a huge fire burning in the Gorge and there is smoke everywhere. Which is so sad and upsetting. Rave: happy it's wed and only a handful more days to go before the weekend.
CS/Q: not temping
GTKY: Do you watch football? If so, who's your favorite team? College, professional or other? Other fall sports you're excited for?
Huge seahawks fan!
@SkilledSailor I typically only watch the world cup, and the U.S. team is pretty bad, so I'm usually rooting for Spain.
@chloandcoco I was in Glacier this past weekend, the smoke is so horrible. I hope for cooler days, low winds and sadly snow because that's the only thing that'll stop this now.
PS: Do we currently have any east coast TWW's in danger of meeting Irma?
@chloandcoco @blackhottamales Would rain not put it out?
@josie12367 We're watching the storm. We're inland NC enough that it probably won't be a major issue other than some flash flooding but we grew up here and remember Floyd and Fran so we know it's possible. I just spent the afternoon re-building our emergency grab-and-go bag. We're also already offering our place to my parents because they do live in a flood zone on the coast and are pretty stubborn about staying during storms.
The other issue is with rain, often comes lightening and the whole state is so dry we'd probably get another fire.
Hey hey. The past few days/week have kind of sucked, so I haven't really been around except to lurk. My apologies. I'm going through a bit of a rough patch ATM, and with classes starting up last week, TB has fallen back a bit. I'm here, I'm lurking, I'm love-titting, I just may not be actually posting for a bit.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 16/6
Timing: -5, -4
Testing: 15 DPO
Typical LP Length: 14 days
Rant: H keeps making comments that I won't get KU until I've graduated, and if we keep up the rate we're going, it's probably when our timing will give us any real chance of getting KU. OPKs were all negative. The most positive one was CD 10, and it was still very negative. I was testing twice a day, so if I want any hope of getting a + OPK, it seems I'll have to test 3x a day. Yay.
Rave: I passed my med math test in nursing... that's about all that's gone right lately.
CS/Q: Temps were great for a bit, and then CD 11 on has sucked. Either way, I'm not testing until 14 DPO. Our timing has sucked. I was sick, H was bone tired, we were both stressed.
GTKY: Not in to sports.

@darkstar42 Now that you mention it we tried Iton Fist a while back and were not impressed. Will give the others a go. Thanks!
I just read through yesterday's TWW thread, and just want to give hugs to anyone who was hurt by what was said by the TW. *hugs*

@izza2 lol I just read that thread too except my reaction was more, damn and to think I almost didn't read this thread and nearly missed the drama!
clearly you are a kinder person than I am
@blackhottamales Ugh, I used to live in Idaho and always thought it was so word that a rain storm could start a fire! Just doesn't seem right. When will it start to snow there?
But then again I'm also in a bitch mood this evening, so, that's nothing surprising.
But I'm always more concerned with how everyone is affected by crap like that because I like you guys.
ETA: words

@izza2 GL with classes! Hopefully you and YH can find some time to relax and destress. How did you feel about him saying you weren't going to get KU until you graduate?
I was was really confused at first by seeing yesterday's TWW with so many updates. I was like is did anyone else just read what I read!?!

Typical LP Length: 12-15 (maybe 8 this month? See rant).
Rant/Rave: Seriosuly every month my body does something weird and I feel like a newb who knows nothing about my cycle. This might get to be TMI- I've had light spotting (red) when I wipe for a couple days. This is completely normal for me. Then today I had a BM and went to wipe and blood, kinda like a period with clots. Now I'm not sure if I should consider this AF or not? It doesn't appear to be "here" yet. It was just once, but it's more than I would consider normal spotting, but it also didn't fill a pad or tampon. Should I wait to see what tomorrow is like? I don't want my LP to go from 12 days to 15 last cycle to now 8. WTF body??
In other news - I think I stay at a hotel too often when I walk in and the manager recognizes me, knows my name, and says welcome back...
CS/Q: see rant section.
GTKY: Do you watch football? If so, who's your favorite team? College, professional or other? Other fall sports you're excited for?
I love football. I grew up watching with my dad. I'm a Vikings fan! This year will be weird since I switched jobs I don't have access to season tickets so we are only planning to go to one game. Last year we went to four.... and it's 400+ miles away! @krashke I'm sorry we can't be friends anymore...

@izza2 Hey lady! So glad to see you...been thinking about you. Yay for passing your med math test. Keep up the good work. (Sorry about all of the negative opks...I have a hard time with the cheapies, but have better luck with the CB digital. I think it is because I have a short surge and it can usually catch it).
@MrsMiller8588 I am sorry about the bleeding. That is frustrating. Do you have another appointment coming up? I would see how things are tomorrow and then maybe call your ob/gyn office.
@SkilledSailor Yay for a work from home day. Is YH very active in your business?
@josie12367 I am sorry for the never-ending cycle. I am sure that is frustrating just wanting to know one way or the other. FX that it is not an anovulatory cycle.
@darkstar42 Keep us posted on your appointment tomorrow. Is it with your regular ob/gyn to discuss next steps or is it with an RE?
@ChloandCoco Yum--pumpkin scone--I love all things pumpkin!
@nitnat007 Friend!!
@darkstar42 I know I've given you a little of my experience for what to expect tomorrow but if you have any specific questions about testing or what to expect or need to vent/rant about it feel free to PM me

Good luck on your appointment this morning! (It's morning here in my part of the world). Just breathe, today will most likely be a get to know your story and background kind of appointment. They'll most likely order labs, and maybe an ultrasound. I found it helpful to ask about what they are looking for specifically to rule out...Like after hearing about you, do they have any suspicions? I also asked about timeframe of when I should follow up....Like, do we discuss findings by phone, or do you expect me to come back in? It steam lined the process a little. Those kinds of questions helped me.
Hope this helped you bit to prepare. Good luck!
@dukestar5 - How often do you use the CB digital for it to catch your surge?
