Rant/Rave: Rant: I feel like I'm forgetting something that's fairly important... Rave: Apple event today, looking forward to seeing the new iphone and apple watch!
CS/Q: Not temping
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? I have a phobia of stitches, I can't even look at them on the tv.
Rant/Rave: I like my purple hair! A few of our friends have all decided to take Friday off so we're going to go visit some Brooklyn winery/brewery places. Hoping DH can duck out to join us.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? I cannot tolerate cold soup. Gazpacho is fine; that's intended to be cold. But soup that is meant to be hot that is currently cold freaks me the eff out. I have to close my eyes as I remove it from the fridge and put it on the stove. It's v weird. I cannot explain it.
@doxiemoxie212 That pic of your goal color was gorgeous! I'm always impressed with people who can commit to coloring thier hair like that - I'm too uncertain and end up doing nothing. Yay wineries!

Rant/Rave: Last day of time off. Work tomorrow. Sigh. But it was relaxing, so that's something. H has been sick, and my throat is tickling. Hopefully it doesn't get worse.
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? No. I mostly don't even have normal ones. I do have a strange abhorance of odd numbers...
Rant/Rave: Work is so busy today I feel like I have not stopped all morning. I need a break so I can bump!
CS/Q: Didn't have the best nights sleep last night and I took my temp a few times at one point it was crazy high. Here is hoping that this one is accurate.
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? Not really. I don't like bugs or large groups of small bugs. Particularly ants. Snakes and big spiders are a hell no too! But I can handle most if I have to.
@ChloandCoco I hate that feeling of knowing you are forgetting something. hopefully it comes to you soon! @doxiemoxie212 I just want to agree with everyone else--your hair looks amazing. Your Friday plans sounds wonderful as well.
wow--that's odd, i was expecting lots more, i thought i was so late this morning. Edit for more tags! @nitnat007 sorry you didn't sleep well but your chart looks very pretty. i hope work slows down for you! @Mylitta glad you had some nice time off but sorry for work tomorrow.

Rant/Rave: I might get to see my sister on Friday. MH apparently heard from her last night on our alexa, but of course he couldn't tell me any details or any real information.
Also yesterday a coworker came up to me and said "what are you doing to lose weight, you look great". I'm not sure any weight loss is noticeable but it's so nice of her to say that.
@doxiemoxie212 Your Friday plans sound awesome! I really hope your DH can take the time off too. @Mylitta That's too bad you have to go back to work tomorrow. At least it will be a short work week. Also, I hope you don't catch that cold.
Edit to add more comments: @nitnat007 I was wondering where everyone was this morning. You should definitely take more bump breaks! @blackhottamales Moths are terrifying! Also, I hope you get to see your sister this weekend!
@ChloandCoco I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't get excited about apple's announcements. I'm even less excited since I heard that the iphone is $1000 (is that true?!)
@doxiemoxie212 at first your phobia made sense - - I mean, who wants to eat cold soup? But the closing the eyes thing makes it a bit strange ;-)
Rant/Rave: Rant: I'm not temping, so I understand that I can't predict O from apps, etc. But, all my signs pointed to O around 13-15 (CM / CP). Then, on 17-18, I had a crap ton of EWCM. And then more on CD20. If 13-15 were highly fertile, I had great timing. If it was 17-18, only HIO once. If it was CD20, timing was even worse. I typically have a relatively short cycle (25-27 days), so I can't imagine O waited until CD20.
CS/Q: Can you get EWCM after O?
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? Just the typical ones - - spiders being the top phobia.

CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? Vomit. Actually, stomach viruses. Drunk vomit isn't bad cause I can't catch it. But if someone even around me says their stomach hurts, I legitimately panick on the inside... can't focus. Cold sweats. Mind starts racing on how to get far away from them. This is a huge reason why I get sad over winter coming... more of this!!

Rant/Rave: Rave: Went for 2 runs the past 2 days and I feel great today! Rant: I keep training one of my coworkers but he's just not learning and it's driving me nuts. I don't know what else to do! He can't figure out how to use commas, so I just give up...
CS/Q: Question: I need to buy a box of internet cheapies (I've never bought them before and have spent way too much money on FRERs). What brand should I get, test@home or wondfos? Is there a difference, or are they the same thing? I could probably Google this question, but you guys give great advice and I'm curious to hear if either brand has more of a tendency for evaps/idents or whatever other reasons you might prefer one over the other.
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? My strangest phobia is that I can't stand the feel of cotton balls. It makes me cringe just thinking about it.
@offtoneverland I use wonfos, but I think I've heard they're the same. DH likes my hair but he's annoyed it doesn't go right up to my scalp. My colorist doesn't like harsh lines of demarcation so he does balayage for the bleach and then a dark purple/silver root shadow so it blends seamlessly. DH wants me to have like, fully pastel hair purely out of curiosity lol lol.
@ChloandCoco Oh I hate that feeling so much, and I get it often. I go to the gym in the mornings before work and have forgotten everything at one point or another. Bra, underwear and the worst day was pants. I only realized after my workout and had to go to work in my sweaty gym tights until the stores opened and could buy new ones. The grossest feeling 3 hours ever. I am excited for the new Apple watch too. I just had my stitches out of my finger, they were not pretty and I took them out myself. ugh....
@doxiemoxie212 Your hair is gorgeous. Really glad to hear you like it. Sounds like you guys have an awesome day planned on Friday. Jealous.
@Mylitta Enjoy your day off! FX you don't end up getting sick.
@blackhottamales Thanks! If only a pretty chart really held some weight though. Still hopeful for now. FX you get to see your sister. How has it been since you saw her? Way to go! Congrats on your progress.
@marcus7676 I have not personally had EWCM after O, but that is not to say it couldn't happen. One of the other ladies will be able to help more. Ew spiders.
@catlady1215 I think I will only be ok with fall when I have boots I love again, until then, give me my summer!
@offtoneverland Good work on going for those runs. Punctuation is so important. GL with the training. I believe the wondfo and easy@home are the same thing. Would also like to know the answer to this. I have only used the easy@home OPK's. I also only have the FRER at home and should possibly change that at some point.
@marcus7676 Ya, the rumors are saying that it will be $1000 for the iphone 8. @catlady1215 I'm really excited for the pumpkin patch too! @offtoneverland I'm going to get the new watch, but I just can't justify spending $1k on a phone when my iphone 6 is working just fine.
Testing: not yet, resisting the urge. I might be impatient and test tonight.
Typical LP Length: 13 days
Rant/Rave: Rant: we're trying to sell our house and my DH won't listen to the realtor and get a storage unit. Our house is to small so we have literally no room to put anything and have a car we keep in the garage. It's too nice to park in the driveway so we don't even have the space in the garage. He doesn't want to "move twice." We found a house and put an offer in which was accepted contigent on the sale of our house. Its been so hard knowing we have a Beautiful house that's only 10 minutes away from both our jobs while I'm driving 45 minutes each way. I wish he would get the storage unit!!! Trust me, there is no helpful advice I haven't already tried with him. I married the most stubborn man alive. He did however come around and say he'd give it one or 2 more weeks then we would cave. Rave: We are having tamale Tuesday with the neighbors tonight. I seriously have the best neighbors on the planet. It's making this move even more difficult.
CS/Q:not temping at the moment
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? Apparently dog throw up. I start gagging immediately. I don't know why. My DH makes fun of me but I can't do it. I can handle pretty much anything else that's gross though.
@galactickates we recently moved. One of the first things the professional stager (hired by our realtor) told us was to get a storage unit. It really helped. My H rented uhaul and brought a ton of crap to storage. When we moved, the truck went to the storage unit before going to the new house. I highly recommend.
Sorry @darkstar42 thanks for checking in on the rest of us in the wait!
DW flopped into the car for her lunch break moaning "I'm soooooooooo nauseous" - um... it's 9 DP IUI and she got a BFN when testing this morning. Methinks she's being a bit dramatic. Anyhoo... coming down to the wire now.
AHS is on tonight! Can't wait!!! I want to see "It" but I don't think I could handle watching it in the theater. I'd need to watch it at home so I can pause and compose myself through the really terrifying parts. In daylight, too. So it'll be a while.
GTKY: I'm terrified of large crowds because I've been in couple minor stampedes/situations where I couldn't get away. I was first in line to a game opening (I was in college and cared about sports for like, 5 minutes) and when the doors opened everyone stormed in and shoved me through. I kept my footing but if I lost it I would've been seriously injured. And I also went to a parade in Chicago and had to use the restroom. I got stuck in a thick crowd and couldn't get through. I was screaming and screaming and no one moved. It was horrible. Whenever I see large gatherings of people I have to stay on the periphery. If it the crowd is so tight I can't extend my arms then I leave.
@marcus7676 1000?! damn. I'm hitting 2 years this month with my phone so I know its only got so much longer. but I reeeeally think 1k is a bit much.
@offtoneverland I have only ever used wondfos. actually never heard of test@home till the past couple months. In all my time, I've never had an issue with wondfo giving me an indent/evap line.

Rant/Rave: I Got pulled over because "I rolled a stop sign" and there were no cars to be seen anywhere.... why do I live in the burbs where cops literally have nothing better to do
CS/Q: just started temping cycle day 14
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? I crashed my car into a telephone poll because a spider was hanging/swinging from my rear view mirror. I need therapy for it but I know what the desensitization entails so I refuse to do it. TW my goal is to teach DD to kill the spiders so I don't have to end TW
@doxiemoxie212 -DH doesn't want to physically lift anything out of the house. I tried. We have huge wood cabinets and he's trying to save his back along with a lot of other large objects. He doesn't want to have to move any of that stuff. It's annoying. It's not like he isn't in good shape.. he's being stubborn. We've even had our friends offer to help, and our neighbors have even offered their garages to us as free storage.
@marcus7676 I didn't think about having the movers go to the storage unit first! I just assumed they wouldn't do that. Thanks!
@doxiemoxie212 you had me with the cold soup until not being able to look at it... I would says that clinical but I hate food that's supposed to be hot when it's cold. DH likes his food warm/cold so he can eat it in two seconds.... if mine is not piping hot all the way through I get I pissed. Coffee is the only exception
@galactickates so frustrating with your house. We just sold ours and we had to optimize all our space to make the house look bigger. I felt like we were living in a hotel but the offers started rolling in. I hope you get a fast sale!!!
Traveling home today so not really able to do a regular check-in but stalking y'all and hoping for the best. @offtoneverland I have not heard of test@home but easy@home and Wondfo are the same product with different packaging. I have had good luck with both sets. Very sensitive for cheap HPTs and useful for cheap OPKs when you need to use a bunch.
Testing: sometime next week depending on how I feel
Typical LP Length: 12
Rant/Rave: Rant: I'm on day 2 of switching to decaf and I am having trouble staying focused. It's better than day 1 though, which had me yawning all day long and headachy as well. Rave: The decaf Pumpkin Spice Latte I treated myself to this morning was delish! I'm officially excited for fall.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? Can't think of anything that really qualifies as a phobia, but I get really nervous and freaked out around wasps and yellow jackets.
Aren't easy@home the tests a recent grad used that kept giving her indent lines? Or am I not remembering the tests clearly?
AFM: Haven't really had time to get online for more than a minute or two, so late check-in. Nothing awesome happening over here. Had some weird CM yesterday, and went BSC on Google of course, but sticking to my guns of not testing until Saturday. Just riding the next few days out for now!
TW: had a chemical last month and I decided I would rather wait and never know, then test early and have to go through that sadness again. End TW

Rant/Rave: My office is crazy cold
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias?
I have an irrational fear of zombies. Sometimes at night I get scared and think of what my escape plan would be if there was a zombie apocalypse. A couple years ago I legit sat my husband down and told him I thought I needed therapy for it. Actually admitting it helped, but they still freak me the heck out. I hate scary movies. He wants to go se It and I'm like you're on your own!
@doxiemoxie212 I hate cold soup too & cold pizza! It's just not right to eat something other than the way it was intended.
@marcus7676 yes I've read you can get ewcm after O
@ChloandCocowhen I first read "apple event" I thought of an "apple tasting event" - yum! But new gadgets are fun too. $1,000 sounds so high though!
@doxiemoxie212 have fun with your friends at your winery/brewery visits. Sounds like a bast.
@Mylitta sorry you are starting to feel sick and have to get back to work. Hopefully it doesn't turn into anything.
@nitnat007 hope work slows down soon and you get better sleep tonight!
@blackhottamalesnice compliment from your coworker! and I hope you get to see your sister soon.
@catlady1215I love the pumpkin patch. We usually go with our friend for her birthday every year and I'm hoping we'll get to this year too.
@offtoneverland Yay for the running two days straight! I need to get back into running, but it's been such a long time it scares me. I use wondfos and like them (haven't noticed any evap or indent lines yet), but haven't tried any others for comparison.
@galactickates sorry about your household storage wars, but yay for a new house! Hope you can sell yours soon so it all works out. Also, Tamale Tuesday sounds amazing!
@wishiwaspreggo I'm with you on the scary movies. I'm curious about "It", but not sure I could handle it in a theater.
@Saratiff sorry you got pulled over. That sucks! And the telephone pole crash due to spider sounds horrific! Hopefully everything was ok in the end on that one!
Aren't easy@home the tests a recent grad used that kept giving her indent lines? Or am I not remembering the tests clearly?
Yes, that's the thread I was thinking of. Someone on that thread said not to buy a certain colored box because they were knock-offs. I couldn't remember the specifics through. But anyways, sounds like no one has had problems with either. @catlady1215 Thanks for your response! Thanks to everyone else too! ETA: and as @doxiemoxie212 said, they weren't indents anyway, so it's a 'moo point,' as Joey would say!

Apparently dog throw up. I start gagging immediately. I don't know why. My DH makes fun of me but I can't do it. I can handle pretty much anything else that's gross though.
I'm going to try my first gif! FX!

One more time with feeling? FX again lol I might need a little newbie help!
DW flopped into the car for her lunch break moaning "I'm soooooooooo nauseous" - um... it's 9 DP IUI and she got a BFN when testing this morning. Methinks she's being a bit dramatic. Anyhoo... coming down to the wire now.
AHS is on tonight! Can't wait!!! I want to see "It" but I don't think I could handle watching it in the theater. I'd need to watch it at home so I can pause and compose myself through the really terrifying parts. In daylight, too. So it'll be a while.
GTKY: I'm terrified of large crowds because I've been in couple minor stampedes/situations where I couldn't get away. I was first in line to a game opening (I was in college and cared about sports for like, 5 minutes) and when the doors opened everyone stormed in and shoved me through. I kept my footing but if I lost it I would've been seriously injured. And I also went to a parade in Chicago and had to use the restroom. I got stuck in a thick crowd and couldn't get through. I was screaming and screaming and no one moved. It was horrible. Whenever I see large gatherings of people I have to stay on the periphery. If it the crowd is so tight I can't extend my arms then I leave.
@offtoneverland I have only ever used wondfos. actually never heard of test@home till the past couple months. In all my time, I've never had an issue with wondfo giving me an indent/evap line.

CD/DPO: 20/5
Timing: -4,-2,-1,0,+1
Testing: Sunday or Monday.... maybe Monday I need to get through this wedding
Typical LP Length: 28
Rant/Rave: I Got pulled over because "I rolled a stop sign" and there were no cars to be seen anywhere.... why do I live in the burbs where cops literally have nothing better to do
CS/Q: just started temping cycle day 14
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? I crashed my car into a telephone poll because a spider was hanging/swinging from my rear view mirror. I need therapy for it but I know what the desensitization entails so I refuse to do it. TW my goal is to teach DD to kill the spiders so I don't have to end TW
@marcus7676 I didn't think about having the movers go to the storage unit first! I just assumed they wouldn't do that. Thanks!
@galactickates so frustrating with your house. We just sold ours and we had to optimize all our space to make the house look bigger. I felt like we were living in a hotel but the offers started rolling in. I hope you get a fast sale!!!
@ChloandCoco good luck tomorrow!!!!
@offtoneverland I have not heard of test@home but easy@home and Wondfo are the same product with different packaging. I have had good luck with both sets. Very sensitive for cheap HPTs and useful for cheap OPKs when you need to use a bunch.

Rant/Rave: Rant: I'm on day 2 of switching to decaf and I am having trouble staying focused. It's better than day 1 though, which had me yawning all day long and headachy as well. Rave: The decaf Pumpkin Spice Latte I treated myself to this morning was delish! I'm officially excited for fall.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? Can't think of anything that really qualifies as a phobia, but I get really nervous and freaked out around wasps and yellow jackets.

Or am I not remembering the tests clearly?
AFM: Haven't really had time to get online for more than a minute or two, so late check-in.
Nothing awesome happening over here. Had some weird CM yesterday, and went BSC on Google of course, but sticking to my guns of not testing until Saturday.
Just riding the next few days out for now!

Rant/Rave: My office is crazy cold
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias?
I have an irrational fear of zombies. Sometimes at night I get scared and think of what my escape plan would be if there was a zombie apocalypse. A couple years ago I legit sat my husband down and told him I thought I needed therapy for it. Actually admitting it helped, but they still freak me the heck out. I hate scary movies. He wants to go se It and I'm like you're on your own!
@doxiemoxie212 I hate cold soup too & cold pizza! It's just not right to eat something other than the way it was intended.
@marcus7676 yes I've read you can get ewcm after O
@ChloandCoco when I first read "apple event" I thought of an "apple tasting event" - yum! But new gadgets are fun too. $1,000 sounds so high though!
@doxiemoxie212 have fun with your friends at your winery/brewery visits. Sounds like a bast.
@Mylitta sorry you are starting to feel sick and have to get back to work. Hopefully it doesn't turn into anything.
@nitnat007 hope work slows down soon and you get better sleep tonight!
@blackhottamales nice compliment from your coworker! and I hope you get to see your sister soon.
@catlady1215 I love the pumpkin patch. We usually go with our friend for her birthday every year and I'm hoping we'll get to this year too.
@offtoneverland Yay for the running two days straight! I need to get back into running, but it's been such a long time it scares me. I use wondfos and like them (haven't noticed any evap or indent lines yet), but haven't tried any others for comparison.
@darkstar42 Sorry you are off to WTO
@galactickates sorry about your household storage wars, but yay for a new house! Hope you can sell yours soon so it all works out. Also, Tamale Tuesday sounds amazing!
@wishiwaspreggo I'm with you on the scary movies. I'm curious about "It", but not sure I could handle it in a theater.
@Saratiff sorry you got pulled over. That sucks! And the telephone pole crash due to spider sounds horrific! Hopefully everything was ok in the end on that one!

CD/DPO: CD 32/DPO 1 [I don't think my cycle is usually this long, but I'm a little messed up having just come off the pill about 4 weeks ago]
Timing: -2, -1, 0
Testing: I think the earliest I will be able to test is ~ October 26. Loooong way to go yet.
Typical LP Length: I'm not really sure. I only came off BC last month, so I don't know what my natural LP length is yet.
Rant/Rave: Not much to r/r about today actually! Things are going pretty well. I recently started a new position at work, and I'm loving it. I start a course tonight - so that's been taking up a lot of time. We have a work function tomorrow that I'm really looking forward to. I also love to read, but lately I've only had time to read my text book and TCOYF (which is an excellent resource!!).
CS/Q: I've had some spotting today that I'm kind of nervous about.
GTKY: Do you have any strange phobias? I HATE the thought of getting a paper cut under my nails!! It makes me cringe just thinking about it!!!
