@MrsMiller8588 I think I did the same thing as you when I was a kid, changed almost every week, but I do remember that I stuck with one all the time. --------------------- Month/Cycle:5/5
CD/DPO: 18/4
Timing: -3, -2, 0
Testing: 10/4
Typical LP Length: 15
Rant/Rave: Rave I am on vacation! Rant: Apparently I have come down with a cold. Great way to start the vacation, right!?
CS/Q: Notta whole lot to show. I missed temping Sunday, was out until about 3 am with a bunch of friends.
GTKY: I wanted to be an oceanographer. Now I am an advanced medical support assistant.
Testing: BFN @7dpo (obviously, ugh) No plans to test until Saturday unless AF shows.
Typical LP Length: 14 days
Rant/Rave: I typed so many rants and deleted them because they're petty. I guess I can turn a rant into a rave: I have all the "symptoms" but since I've been tracking way longer than we've been trying, I know that they're completely normal for me, so I'm able to keep my cool. For now.
CS/Q: Nothing to see here. Even though I track everything thru FF, I don't do temps so my chart is pretty straight forward.
GTKY: When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now? I wanted to be a scientist. Or a millionaire. Or a ballerina. Right now I'm a SAHM and a full-time student (business management) and at 37 yo, I have no idea what I want to do with my life still.
Testing: maybe Saturday? We'll see how I feel. Gonna try to wait until AF.
Typical LP Length: ~15
Rant/Rave: nothing much going on but work. Laying on the couch bumping trying to avoid getting ready.
CS/Q:
GTKY: When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now? I wanted to be an artist (like my dad). I grew out of that quickly when I realized that I have NO artistic ability. Then I wanted to be an editor of a travel magazine. I think I decided against that because I figured you'd have to be a writer first and move up, and I'm not really interested in that. When I first started working "real" jobs (I was a retail manager for a long time) I wanted to be a trainer...and that's what I do now! That is...when I'm actually DOING my job and not just running the corporate store because they hired shittily.
Testing: this morning bfn...I just could not hold out, but going to see if af is late to test again
Typical LP Length: 14 days
Rant/Rave: we are changing our legal processes at work so I am having to listen to conference calls all day. Ready for the day to be over and it just started!
CS/Q:
GTKY: When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now? I wanted to be a dentist, now I am an account manager for a healthcare company.
@kiwi2628 I'm so sorry. I used to run the front office at an animal hospital, and generally had to do the paperwork and financial end of the euthanasia process. At the time, I wanted to be a vet, and quickly changed my mind. I couldn't do it. I'd be way too emotional about it.
@MrsMiller8588. @klj0228 Dentist is 1 thing I NEVER wanted to be! @ajsanders-2. Hope vacation is going well! Oceanographer sounds so cool! @kiwi2628. Awh, hugs. Sorry for your hard day. @JennyColada. You&me both lazy bumping to avoid getting ready! @br0co1ii. Way to keepp that BSC SS under control with knowing it is likely too early & they're past symptoms, too! FX for you
Month/Cycle: 3/4 CD/DPO: 19/6 or 7? Timing: -3, -1 Typica LP: R/R: BW today for progesterone level. Again. Let's hope it looks better today. First day back from vacation. I only work 1/2 day today. Woot! GTKY: A doctor, a nurse, anything in mental health. I did nursing, then dropped out. I am in mental health in a primary care setting, so the best of both worlds
@jrm_14 I am not sure why I wanted to be a dentist, when I think about it now I have no desire to be in people's mouths all day!
@br0co1ii you are so much better than me, I have been having symptoms so I tested, but now I am wondering if I am just making them up since I got a bfn. I'm also not getting some of the symptoms I normally get before af. Going to try to hold off testing again for a few more days though.
Testing: POAS obsessed. My goal is to wait until 10DPO
Typical LP Length: 13 days
CS/Q: So they say LH is produced in the early afternoon, yet I've gotten my positive OPK with FMU 2 months in a row even though I test the afternoon and night before. Don't get it. Just fearful of missing the peak of the surge.
GTKY: I wanted to be a teacher. Then I decided against it in college, ended up going back to get a credential 3 years after graduating, and now I'm a teacher.
@jrm_14 I actually almost went to dental school and my boyfriend at the time was like "do you really want to be a dentist? Or are you just doing it because you don't know what you want to do?" Now the paycheck would be nice, but I am happy doing what I do.
@jenben8888 It's only 10 days! You can do it! I use CBAD and they say to use FMU. I wouldn't worry about it. Most people that use cheapies test multiple times a day anyway.

I've been MIA for a while, I'm going to work on being a better bumper. I also remember that when I'm in my TWW there tend to be fewer people and I know we can all use the support.
@kiwi2628 I'm so sorry you had to do that today. I know I'll never forget the kindness and compassion of my vet's office after my car passed. It was nice to know that they cared as much as I did. Hugs to you. @jenben8888 FWIW, I usually get +opks mid-morning, it may just take some time of trial and error with the cheapies to find the time of day for your surge. Sometimes I can also catch it in the evening or with Fmu but Nit as consistently. GL to you @br0co1ii thanks again for the cs yesterday. Good for you for finding the positive in what could be a bunch of negatives @JennyColada editing a travel magazine sounds glorious. I hope you were able to find some motivation today @ajsanders-2 oh no! I hope you get to enjoy your vacation despite getting sick. @klj0228 sorry about the bfn. Conference calls can be mind numbing, I hope your day got better. @MrsMiller8588 I hope you get a reprieve from the work work work and get some time to relax! @jrm_14 was the progesterone level any better?
Month/Cycle: 12
CD/DPO: 22/6 well that's what I'm going with for now. Thanks to the ladies in the cs/q thread.
Timing: um...if we're going with FF O date then -3
Testing: nope.
Typical LP Length: 13-15
Rant/Rave: I have a new job and it is going really well. A lot less stress and I really feel like I'm helping people. Rant: this is the coldest office I have ever been in! Also, and this is not really a rant well maybe a little rant I got sick around cd1 and it lingered for quite sometime until I finally had to get meds so the temps on my chart aren't usual and I think my O date is off. Also timing in FW was just once since I was feeling so crappy. On the bright side I'm feeling better now.
CS/Q: linked in siggy if you want to take a gander and share your 2 cents!
GTKY: When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now? I wanted to be an attorney or a teacher. When I got a little older I wanted to be a reporter and actually started to major in communication in college. I then realized I didn't like pushing for information. So now I am a mental health professional/therapist. ( Hi @jrm_14 sounds like we're doing similar work)

@Avrilmai. I am leaving work early to get the labs drawn again. Sounds like we are in the same profession! I feel you on having a cold office. I had to break out sweaters in midsummer. Hope you are feeling better!!
@kiwi2628 I'm so sorry today is a hard day. Hugs and be kind to yourself.

CS/Q: Just the normal over anaylzing and SS.
GTKY: When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now? I wanted to be a pediatrician. When I realized I didn't like science, I figured that it probably wasn't going to work out. I'm now a social worker.
