Rant/Rave: It's perfect weather for a lazy Sunday - cold and rainy. I might make muffins if I can find all ingredients. Today will probably consist of football and puppy snuggles. Hopefully I can motivate myself to also do a little yoga video.
CS/Q: not charting this month
GTKY: My first impression IRL (we met online) was that he was a gentleman. He insisted on picking me up and opened my car door. After that I could tell he was nervous, but we pretty much clicked right away.

Rant/Rave: dh got me a robotic vacuum for Christmas, and I got to open and use it yesterday instead of having to wait. Best Christmas ever!
CS/Q: nada
GTKY: What was your first impression of your SO? I loved him instantly. Met him at his brother's wedding, and he was in a tux, and had great dance moves, and made a great best man speech. Smart, funny, handsome. Aw... typing that out made me fall in love all over again.
@MrsMiller8588 I know it's too early. I can't have them in the house or I pee on them! Haha. Last time around I was really good about waiting until at least 12 dpo because I'd buy one that day. I can keep myself from going to the store, but if they're in the house, all bets are off. And yes! Dh found a good deal on ebay, and bought it. We needed to make sure it worked so we didn't miss the warranty window. And now there's no way I'm putting it back in the box for 3 months.
Testing - I am testing every day already as I triggered with HCG and so want to know when it is out, so then I will know if a test shows positive if it is "real" or not. My official beta with my RE is 6th October (which feels light years away!!!)
Typical LP length 14-16
Rant/Rave having a lazy day recovering from the last week - egg retrieval on Weds, embryo transfer on Friday and birthday party on Saturday!!! DH had his birthday Friday, mine was one week before, so we had a party at our house yesterday with around 25 people. Was good fun and a very good distraction from the TWW :-) Also DH is being amazing and totally over protective- I'm not allowed to carry anything or have any stress :-) Oh and everyone loved all the amazing food he cooked :-)
CS/Q ladies the symptoms from taking progesterone are very real! I have bloating and sore boobs, plus super tired. I will take it all the way to my beta so will not know if I have real symptoms to spot or not!
GTKY just like @mrsmiller8588 and @jennycolada I met my DH online! My first thought when I saw him in real life was "OMG, I'm in trouble!" as I got this totally electric feeling from around 50 meters away which I very rarely had before and which always meant I was going to get up to naughty things ;-) He also said as he saw me walking towards him he knew I was his :-)
@mrsmiller8588 I don't need to bake today because we have so many pieces of cake and desserts left over from last nights party I am going to put on at least half a stone this week lol! One of my guests was Italian and brought a selection of home made Italian desserts which were out of this world. And all we're gluten and lactose free so they were "safe" for me :-)
@br0co1ii ooooh is it a roomba??? I got mine before I met DH and it was like my little robotic pet. Sometimes I spent half an hour hunting the apartment for where it had gone during the day lol And wow to how you met your DH - that's a fab story!

Typical LP Length: 14 days
Rant/Rave: I'm absolutely exhausted so I'm looking forward to relaxing around the house with DH.
CS/Q: I've had an increased resting heart rate the last 4 days, higher than it has been since we started ttc
GTKY: What was your first impression of your SO? That he was really cute and super sweet and quiet. He seemed a little shy to my very extroverted personality.
@emmasemm homemade Italian desserts sound delicious! Fingers crossed for good results at your beta!
@br0co1ii I am very jealous of your getting a Christmas present early and that it is a robotic vacuum, I keep trying to rationalize buying one but always talk myself out of it.
Rant/Rave: Well either my body is messing with me or I messed up my O date. I have been cramping the last 2 days though, so I'm thinking af is coming. I start a huge testing process for a promotion tomorrow... I'm freaking out.
GTKY: What was your first impression of your SO? "He's never going to speak to me again - ah well." To be fair I was so exhausted at the time, its the kind where you almost act drunk. And I told him I didn't know him so he should come talk to me on break (worked overnight together- he was new.) He actually came. My next impression was "I could always have real conversations with him."
Popping in quickly to say that AF showed up today, so I'm off to WTO. Best of luck to everyone in your TWW! I hope y'all have better luck this cycle than I did.
