R/R: Rave - It's hump day!! The weekend will be here before we know it. Rant - I'm only two weeks into my course and I'm already started to fell the pressure. Trying to stay on top of things so that I don't allow myself to get stressed. We all know stress is not conducive to baby making!

GTKY: What shows are you watching right now? DH and I are watching Suits (Season 2) and American Horror Story (Season 7). I, myself, am watching One Tree Hill (Season 1) and can't wait for my faves Grey's, Scandal, How to get Away with Murder and This is Us to come back on!!

WAYDTGKU: HIO, OPK, PNV, Temp
R/R: I feel like I'm not ranty or ravy about anything right now. *TW* Learned yesterday that my father has bladder cancer (long time smoker) but we won't know anything about the extent or staging until Friday. I don't want to let myself get crazy about it until we know more. *end TW*
CS/Q: eh...third day of blinking smiley. So still not yet I guess. HIO tonight (hump day!). On the bright side my temps have been suuuuper consistent the past few days.
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now?
I am binge watching Nashville which is crazy because there are like 100 episodes and each of them are an hour. But I love the music biz so it's ok.
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: All those things
R/R: Rave- DH booked us for some kind of family communication thing this weekend. We have to each attend an hour long class but that's it. The cool part is that it's at an all inclusive resort...with four meals a day, a spa, and right on the beach...Rant- I haven't O'd yet and I'm worried this spur of the moment trip with delay me again. Ugh...but my biggest rant is that DH is leaving for the seven week training that had been delayed here like really, really soon...So my ovaries need to get on it...because I'm already set to be benched next cycle now with him leaving, so I don't want this cycle to be a flop too.
CS/Q: Five consecutive days of EWCM...I have no idea what my ovaries are waiting for...Lol
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now? Documentaries like always, you me her (though I'm losing interest in the storyline),Poldark, and Gypsy
@lurvleybunchococonuts I'm with you on the praying for a temp spike...except it's me that I hope I can keep motivated to continue our HIO streak. And I loved the "hiding the pickle"...I definitely snorted
Month/Cycle: 10/11
CD: 1 *sobs*
WAYDTGKU: AF is here! Going to call the OBGYN on Friday to try to get an appointment to go check in and possibly start some testing.
R/R: I have a 11 hour workday today immediately followed by a fun social thing. Hoping the distractions help with the extreme sadness I am feeling about CD1.
CS/Q: One lonely dot.
GTKY: This is Us, The Good Place, Master of None, and, always, Jeopardy.
@lurvleybunchococonuts - this is when ute goggles would come in useful on FF!
@nimmie - thinking of you and your family. Hope it's "good" news.
@josie12367 - hoping HIO and O coordinates this weekend!
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: Bunch o' stuff. Probably start HIO soon just in case I O early.
R/R: Long couple of work days ahead. whomp whomp. Yay for coffee!
CS/Q:
GTKY: I'm re-watching Entourage while I wait for all my fall shows to come back on (This is Us, Grey's, etc.)
@josteele91 Hey, we have the same wedding date! I'm a little biased but I think that's a great day to get married.
@lurvleybunchococonuts Sorry your temps are not cooperating! Super frustrating. TW* Will you go visit your friend and the new LO soon?*END TW
@nimmle *hugs* Sorry to hear about your father. FX it's in the early, very treatable stages. Also, love Nashville. That's a guilty pleasure of mine as well.
@josie12367 Sorry to hear your H will be leaving soon. FX your body gets it together! The retreat sounds pretty nice! Is it a resort nearby or will it be like a little getaway?
@augusta108 Sorry to hear about AF. Hope you hear back from your doctor about scheduling testing. I hope more that you get KTFU this cycle and don't even need it! What's the fun social activity this evening?
Month/Cycle: 9/6
CD: 46
WAYDTGKU: the usual + acupuncture
R/R: It's day 46 FFS.
CS/Q: I wouldn't want to depress you.
GTKY: nothing until the second season of Stranger Things!
@nimmle - *TW* Mentions of cancer should definitely come with a TW. Feel free to PM if you need to talk as I've been in your position *TW*
@josie12367 - If you figure out how to convince your ovaries to, you know, ovulate, let me know!
@Augusta108 - I'm so sorry that you're back in WTO. *hugs*

@nimmle So sorry to hear about your father. Sending good vibes your way that things go well and that good news is to follow! ((hugs)) I also love Nashville. Great music and a few are easy on the eyes.
@josie12367 Sounds like a great way to spend the weekend! FX that your ovaries get in the game and you O before YH heads out.
@Augusta108 So sorry about CD1! Hope that your day improves. Be kind to yourself.

WAYDTGKU: holding my breath.
R/R: Going to have sushi with the ladies tonight after work, looking forward to that!
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now? Suits and running through far too many, far too quickly on Netflix. I need something to sink my teeth into.
@lurvleybunchococonuts What the heck is happening with your temps? It's no fun when they don't behave like they're supposed to. Also, Defenders was a lot of fun. I think you'll like it.
@nimmle I'm sorry to hear about your father. Fx for a good prognosis!
@josie12367 Enjoy the trip this weekend, and I hope your ovaries behave themselves!
@Augusta108 I'm so sorry about cd 1. *hugs* I'm glad you have a fun social event to look forward to. Hopefully that will help.

WAYDTGKU: all the things!
R/R: Rave - I survived my HSG yesterday, and it was good news - tubes are clear and everything looks normal. Now I wait a couple weeks for an u/s and follow up appointment. Rant - Kind of restless sleep last night. There was an intense thunderstorm in the middle of the night and one of the kitties kept attacking my feet.
CS/Q: Not much to see here, but (unless it's some weird HSG side effect), I think ewcm has started. This is pretty early, but we'll see what happens.
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now? Old episodes of various British shows and costume dramas. MH and I already finished Defenders, so there's nothing else new that I'm excited about right now.
@pebbledam So sorry about that. I edited to put in the TW. I didn't think about it because it wasn't pregnancy related.
CD: 19
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPK
R/R: Woke up with a migraine at 2:45. So that's fun. I would assume I O yesterday. Per previous charts, I usually get a migraine on or the day after O.
CS/Q: Still slow rising.
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now? DH and I are catching up on Madam Secretary
@pebbledam Sorry about having such a long cycle! That's stressful. Also, I'm with you on waiting for Stranger Things. So excited for that!
@nitnat007 Sushi sounds so good! Maybe I need to talk MH into going this weekend.
@pebbledam Hey, how've you been? Sorry you're still in WTO limbo.
@nitnat007 That sounds like a great way to spend hump day! Are these the other wives or coworkers?
@mrstmoose That sounds like an awful O symptom! Sorry you're not feeling well today.
@Augusta108 So sorry about CD1...be gentle to yourself today, and I hope you have fun tonight at your social gig
@skilledsailor I feel like you barely got any time off! Mad props for doing your thing, your level of motivation, and persistence! The retreat is about an hour and half away...our last vacation was only two hours away and delayed O' though...so i'm hoping for it not to do it this time. It is a nice little resort though, so I'm counting myself very fortunate considering this is a fully paid for by the military.
@pebbledam So sorry you're having such a long cycle...those are so frustrating! I hope your body gets its act together soon! How are you liking acupuncture? I've been considering it for some sciatica issues I have, but the thought of all those needles still freaks me out
@nitnat007 Sushi sounds wonderful! Enjoy!
@darkstar42 Again, so glad that your HSG went well, and that you have future steps planned out. FX that you won't need them...
@mrstmoose Hope your migraine goes away soon, and that you did in fact O'!
@nitnat007 sushi is my favorite!
@pebbledam sorry about everything you are dealing with. DH and I plan to bige watch Stranger Things for his BDay. I have been instructed to order icecream cake with the crunchies.
*******TW********* loss mentioned
Month/Cycle:3/2
CD:32
WAYDTGKU: temping, cm, HIO
R/R: My midwife called me back about some questions I had about future testing in Lieu of my CP last cycle. She said I could take vitex but she said I should try not changing anything for now, since this cycle is my second post partum and that we conceived last cycle. She also noted that since I breastfeed my cycles could be longer but its not indication of an issue. DH and I have a vacation in November to cruise to the bahamas and I was worried about conceiving next cycle and being around 6 weeks and sick. I had asked about the mini pill but she advised against it and said use condoms if we want to avoid for just once cycle. I talked to DH and we decided we don't want to avoid and that we would be overjoyed and deal with the sickness (our last vacation I had morning sickness). So I am feeling good about this cycle and this year of TTC. I am trying to go with the flow and hold out on testing until 11 or 12 dpo next time.
CS/Q: Any advice on holding out on testing? Testing makes me obsessive and crazy
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now? Hubby and I are watching Sense 8 on netflix right now and loving it.

@lurvleybunchococonuts id grab some cheap opk's because its hard to tell whats going on. Creamy cf is still "fertile" so its possible you are still waiting to O
@nimmle ugh so sorry about your dad...so hoping they've caught it early!!
@josie12367 hoping your egg pops in time! Also...I am a huge doc watcher!
@Augusta108 so sorry for CD1
@SkilledSailor Ugh...sorry its a busy week.. I'm so jelly of all you coffee girls! lol
@pebbledam ugh...long cycles are the worst!
@nitnat007 yay sushi!!
@mrstmoose ugh! its been a while since I had a migraine, but they are awful
@katm89 hmmm with testing I say go with your gut (at this moment). I find depending on the day, NOT testing can make me feel like I have no control over my life. I'm a tester for the most part
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: prep for ivf
R/R: still killer cramps!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now? re-watching The Expanse
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: lots of HIO! Also I need to POAS! I have OPK's so I need to use them but I just keep forgetting and just going to the bathroom and then when I do think of it I don't have to pee!
R/R: I have an interview at work today for a senior role internally so that's a rave but they announced a merger yesterday that could potentially move this role to OH so that's kind of my rant.
CS/Q: question...if you chug water in order to pee on an OPK will that dilute it?
Looks like CP is getting closer to O but still no EWCM possible O tomorrow or next day
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now?
On Netflix I am watching Scandal (on season 2), GBBO and DH and I watch Frasier together. On live TV I usually stick to HGTV or Food Network whatever is on, This Is Us and Grey's (although I have fallen out with Grey's and really just watch it out of obligation because I have dedicated like the last 12 years of my life to it)

R/R: Going to a hockey game tonight!! I'm also committed to cleaning my desk this morning and getting myself organized, I've been so all over the place at work it is hard to get anything done for real.
CS/Q: ugh had such a restless sleep last night that temping was not even worth it this morning.
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now?
I need a new show...preferably a British murder mystery!
@mrstmoose Sorry about the migraine, that sounds awful!
@skilledsailor The ultrasound will be to take a closer look at my ovaries. Some of my bw numbers are close to pcos levels, but I have zero symptoms of pcos, so we’ll see what if my ovaries look normal or show pcos symptoms. Good for you for taking a proper relaxation day! I think the hardest thing is giving ourselves permission to relax, especially for those of us whose jobs follow us around.
@josie12367 Thank you! I hope I won’t need the next steps either, but I’m glad to have a plan in place. You said your weekend trip was a communication workshop? Is that focused on communication in relationships or more generally?
@katm89 I’m glad you had a chance to talk to your doctor and get her input! It sounds like you have a good plan moving forward. Also, I love Sense8, and I’m super upset that they canceled it.
@lurvleybunchococonuts My temp sometimes drops on O day or the day before and then shoots up. Fx that’s what yours is doing! MH was so eager to watch Defenders he didn’t let me finish Luke Cage first. I was grumpy at the spoilers. And I only watched part of Iron Fist – enough to get the basics of his plot line. That character seriously annoys me.
@dragonette505 What stage of IVF prep are you at? Forgive my ignorance, but have you started meds yet, or does that happen after AF leaves? I think MH watched The Expanse and liked it, but I haven’t seen it yet. I was going to ask if you’d recommend it, but given that you’re re-watching, I’d guess that’s a yes!
@krashke Good luck with your interview today, and here’s hoping you don’t have to move! If taking the position meant a move to OH, would you take it?
@stargazer1lily Glad you’re feeling better today!
@canucklehead123 Yes! Love British murder mysteries! I’ve been watching old episodes of Miss Marple lately. If you haven’t seen Luther or Broadchurch, I highly recommend both.
Yep, it's a workshop on family communication, so spouse to spouse, and parent to child. The military commonly sponsors workshops like this to help families that face lots of deployments and separations. DH wanted us to do it, so I'm trying to keep an open mind. I think our communication is good, but maybe we can learn something. I'm cautiously excited...
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: Temping, charting, OPKs, Sex once when OPKs start fading in from surge, pnv
R/R: Based on OPKs and CM and past history, combined with my huge temp spike this morning, I would say yesterday was ovulation - but I'm going to hang out here until I get cross hairs if that's ok.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: Just finished the original Gilmore Girls (finally!) so I'm currently watching the "new" Gilmore Girls. Also watching Big Brother, Grace & Frankie, and Fuller House.
CD:2
WAYDTGKU: prenatals. I'm going to start temping tomorrow. Charting.
R/R: Rant:Tired. I hate being back at work. I wish I was in Montana still. Rave: We got some stairs for our Doxies since our bed is so tall. Lucy always barks to get let up on the bed a CD wakes DH up. She figured them out really fast and DH got to sleep through the night! I never hear her lol.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now?
We just started Rick and Morty. Waiting for Mr. Robot, this is us, stranger things, and walking dead to come back on.
@SkilledSailor Drink all the coffee! GL with the long work days. Going to sushi with two of the wives again. It has become a great support system for us and it is nice to break up the week with something fun. We are also collecting our things from Clay Cafe that we painted over the weekend.
@darkstar42 So glad that your HSG went well yesterday! Sorry you didn't get great sleep. Hope tonight is better. Funny kitties though lol
@Katm89 You have a great positive attitude moving forward. FX that this is your cycle.
@lurvleybunchofcoconuts The sushi place we are going to is tiny, but they always give us free stuff when we go. It is really popular and so good! You should absolutely go to sushi this weekend.
@krashke GL with your interview. I hope that it goes well and you get the position!
@canucklehead123 Enjoy the game tonight!
@josie12367 We have a few similar workshops here as well, but ours seem to be more geared towards coping with the kids and not so much how would cope with each other and our communication. I am interested to see what you think when you get back.
@burlapandlace FX for those CH's.
@chloandcoco FX that you get that new job. When do you hear? I am glad to see you are still here and continuing TTC!
@josie12367 - FX you O soon!!

R/R: nothing
CS/Q: CM consistency: do you base this off of what is in your underwear or what you feel inside?
GTKY: What shows are you watching right now?
We just started American Vandal on Netflix and the first episode is hilarious. We were in tears. I also like the Crown, so I am excited for that to come back. I just watched This is Us over the summer so we'll see how season 2 goes.
@lurvleybunchococonuts I chortled a bit at your WAYDTGKU.
@nimmle I'm so sorry to hear about your dad.
@josie12367 I hope your ovaries get with the plan!
@skilledsailor FX the next couple of days go by quickly for you!
@nitnat007 Have fun tonight!
@darkstar42 That's great that your HSG showed that everything was normal!
@mrstmoose Sorry your are having a migraine, but yay for O!
@krashke I think chugging water would dilute it too much. You can take them multiple times a day if you have the cheapies.
@canucklehead123 Have fun at the hockey game tonight!
@galactickates I love that you bought stairs for your doxies. Maybe I should get some for my corgi.
@izza2 I LOVE HALLMARK TOO! I so miss being in the States for all the good TV!
