    WAYDTGKU: charting, temping, pnvs, drinking lots of water & green tea

    R/R:   (Rave): Went to a great yoga class yesterday!  (Rant): I've been MIA this week!  My bump app has not been working at all and it's really been cramping in bumping this week.  :o   Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    CS/Q:

    GTKY: What is your favorite board game?  (Sorry it's not super creative, but it's all I've got this morning!  D)
    I loved Candy Land as a kid!  Now I enjoy card games.
  • Loading the player...
  • @dukestar5 I've been wondering where you were! Glad you enjoyed your yoga class. I try to go to yoga during my lunch hour everyday - will be going today too! I always feel SO good after. Is it hot yoga or just regular?

    @canucklehead123 enjoy possession day! Cheers to that!

    WAYDTGKU: BBT, HIO, OPKs, Pom juice, PNVs, Coq10, acupuncture 

    R/R: It's pre-Friday! Looking forward to this weekend and will probably go to the pumpkin patch. Also, I finally got a positive OPK this morning before MH goes out of town! Yay for good timing! 

    CS/Q: 

    GTKY: What is your favorite board game?  (Sorry it's not super creative, but it's all I've got this morning!  D) I like party games - Taboo, cards against humanity, etc. 
  • @therealbitts @elolin thanks!!!

    @elolin that trip sounds fabulous! Do you work for a nonprofit org?

  • @dukestar5 That yoga class sounds fun. I need to get back to doing some yoga!
    @canucklehead123 Congrats on house possession today! ...and ugh to men being stupid! When we cought our house, my husband had broken the front door lock within an hour of us living there. It was a super old lock and he was trying to replace it. Well, that resulted in us replacing the whole front door!
    @therealbitts Hooray for good timing! Travel makes good timing tough sometimes, so glad it's working out for you this cycle. 
    @elolin Your work trip to Vienna and Nothern Italy sounds amazing! I need to brainstorm my next trip with MH. He goes to the UK frequently for work so I want to plan some kind of Europe trip next year.

  • @canucklehead123 Yes I do. We assist individuals with disabilities and their families who want to do self-directed supports.

    @jaylii I hate that I both leave the house and come home in the dark some days, so depressing!

  • @elolin I do as well!  We are an Indigenous organization and work with youth and families to prevent or end systems involvement through culturally grounded programming and ceremony.

  • @elolin that trip sounds like an amazing opportunity! I feel ya on feeling frustrated waiting for a positive OPK. I've had a couple of wonky cycles lately and it's so annoying! I hope you get your positive soon.

    @jaylii how do you like mindhunter? We are in the tv doldrums, so I might check that out.
  • @therealbitts I'm on episode 3 of Mindhunter and am enjoying it! It's true crime type of show, so if you like that, you will probably like the show. MH and I didn't love episode 1 (felt rushed), but liked episode 2. 
  • @jaylii I am a big true crime fan so I'm going to check it out! I need something to fill the time in between episodes of Stranger Things... 
  • @dukestar5 I love a good yoga session!  I'm bummed because my usual Tuesday yoga class was canceled this week.  I enjoy it much more in a class than at home.
    @canucklehead123 at least he agreed to pay for delivery if it doesn't fit on the roof rack!  But OMG how frustrating!  
    @therealbitts yay for a positive OPK! 
    @elolin that trip sounds amazing!  
    @jaylii I'm the same way in the winter.  I hate the cold and hate when it gets dark earlier.  It's so depressing to leave for work when it's dark and then drive home in the dark.

    Month/Cycle: 4/3

    CD: 18

    WAYDTGKU: CM, OPKs, PNV

    R/R: Rant: I am so confused by my body.  Still spotting today but the ovary pain/discomfort is gone so my only guess is that I ovulated yesterday/last night and I'm still experiencing some O spotting.  If not, it's just random unexplained spotting.  I did have a potentially positive OPK on Tuesday but didn't test anymore that day when I should have.  So I could have had a shorter than normal LH surge which would line up with O yesterday.  CM was not my typical 2-days of EWCM prior to O but I guess that doesn't have to be consistent.  This has never happened to me before.  But I have also never ovulated on my own before these past three cycles so I don't have much to compare it to.  It's amazing how quickly your mood can change in this TTC process.  Two days ago I was excited and positive about TTC on our own and now I'm frustrated and confused and just ready to call the RE.  Rave: today is my "Friday" and DH are going to a wedding on Friday and I'm looking forward to dressing up and spending time with him.  We don't get too many date nights!

    CS/Q:  I don't even know.  There are probably some questions wrapped up in my rant above.  

    GTKY: What is your favorite board game?  Clue is my absolute favorite!  And Yahtzee.  Although I don't know if that's considered a "board game".

  • @dukestar5 I love yoga. You go girl.

    @canucklehead123 Woohoo possession day and lazy mornings! Its there a chance he just wanted the roof rack and figured he could justify it this way?

    @therealbitts Yoga every lunch hour? I admire you. I would love that but can't make it work.

    @jaylii Yay opk and good timing.

    Ran out of time. I'll come back for more

    R/R: my week humpday 

    GTKY: What is your favorite board game? 
    Um sequence? Though settlers of catan is super fun

    WAYDTGKU: All the tings

    R/R: Rant - Ugh, work just got insane and that probably won't change for the next couple months. Rave - Hubby has been cooking dinner all week and I am all for this game Despite the fact that he has no idea what a normal human eats and is starving me. Who makes a thin sliced chicken breast and no sides?  :#

    CS/Q: Not much to see right now

    GTKY: What is your favorite board game?  (Sorry it's not super creative, but it's all I've got this morning!  D)

    I like battleship....it's been a long time
  • elolin  I LOVE Italy. So jealous! Have a great trip!

    @canucklehead123  Congrats on the new house! I've been reno-ing a house and I'm an architect, so if you have questions about the new place, lmk! 

    offtoneverland  We LOVE Ticket to Ride. So fun and so easy to get new people into. Also, I thought you wrote "poRN juice" instead of pom juice. And I was like, WTF, is that some baby making beverage??!!

    Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD: 1

    WAYDTGKU: charting, tracking CM, timed BD. First month trying out OPK and temping. 

    R/R: Rave:
    Rant: CD1 is like the Monday morning of cycles. Bleh. Plus AF was 6 days late, so I feel all the rage and confusion and highs and lows of TTC. 

    CS/Q: Will have some coming up because I'm all new to this

    GTKY: What is your favorite board game?  (Sorry it's not super creative, but it's all I've got this morning!  D)
    Scrabble! And Settlers of Catan. Codenames is the best party game for bigger groups (although more of a card game I guess)!
    Also like Ticket to Ride and Yahtzee.
  • @offtoneverland I really like having the FF VIP membership. Start following them on Twitter, they always have coupons on there whick give you great discounts. I just checked and they posted a mystery coupon a couple of days ago that you can use!
  • @dukestar5 the bump app has been totally broken for me as well. Won’t load anything and just gives up and closes. I’m using the browser bump on my phone and it seems to work fine.
    @canucklehead123 congrats on getting possession of your house today! Very exciting! I’m beginning to wonder if maybe YH just really wanted a roof rack and the couch is the excuse for it?
    @therealbitts yay for a +OPK before YH goes out of town! have fun at the pumpkin patch! I also love cards against humanity!
    @elolin that's exciting news about the work trip to Europe! I would love to be able to travel somewhere like that on the company's dime!
    @princesslockness that is annoying about being mistaken for a student, but also I would be flattered if that happened to me!
    @offtoneverland I'm also curious about FF VIP as I'm on the free version...interested in the responses you get on that. I also love Ticket to Ride, we have the Europe version!
    @nimmle nice of YH to take over dinner duty, but sorry he is starving you! Oh no! Hopefully he gets better with some practice and feedback
    @blackhottamales yay for YH being home! 
    @westphilly sorry for CD1 :(


    Month/Cycle: 5/5

    CD: 4

    WAYDTGKU: At the moment, PNV, Green Tea, RRL Tea, Temping (planning to add in CoQ10 to the mix when it arrives in the mail today)

    R/R: It's a really beautiful sunny fall day here today. I'll need to get out for a walk in it a bit later. Also, I made time to bring my lunch to work with me this morning, so feeling a bit proud of myself for that.

    CS/Q:

    GTKY: What is your favorite board game? Hard to pick a favorite...Favorite party games are The Game of Things and Cards Against Humanity, for smaller groups I like Exploding Kittens and Boggle.

    GTKY: What is your favorite board game?  (Sorry it's not super creative, but it's all I've got this morning!  D)
    I LOVE BOARD GAMES. My favs include Settlers of Catan, House on haunted hill, just played Scythe and that was fun, I love them all! 

    @dukestar5 I love card games too! Whats your fav?
    @canucklehead123 Scrabble is my sister's favorite. I usually suck at that game!!
    @therealbitts yay positive OPK!
    @elolin Um that sounds amazing!!!
    @Sarafuss I LOVE clue! That game is a classic. 
    @offtoneverland I'm sorry you're benched :( 
    @nimmle I completely forgot about Battleship. Thanks for that blast from the past :)

  • @dukestar5 my bump as was funky for awhile. And they had the whole issue that I couldn't get on my desktop either.

    @canucklehead123 Yaaaasssss to cards against humanity. Another good one of those "board games" is the "We didn't test this at all" card game which is alot of fun.

    @therealbitts Yes...love to refer to today as friday-eve

    @elolin Trip to vienna and northern italy? what a horrible proposition  ;)

    @jaylii I'm glad it's a quiet week for you

    @princesslockness lol to your pad. Seriously some of those things are pretty huge and it's a whole balance/equilibrium thing. Would drive me crazy too.

    @Sarafuss oooo I forgot about clue. That's a good one :)

    @offtoneverland sorry you are benched :(

    @mrsinterweb nice job bringing your own lunch. I've been horrible about that. I can never get the motivation to meal prep.
  • Thanks everyone for the feedback on FF VIP! I went for it and just now purchased it. Can't wait to play around with it tonight with a glass of wine. :)
    @nimmle Thanks! I'm actually not feeling too bad about being benched though. I think it will be good for me to have a break from TTC so I can reduce my OCD and feel refreshed. :) That is hysterical about YH's idea of dinner. No sides?! My DH can't live without sides. He wants a side of carbs with everything, even if we're eating pasta for dinner! lol
    @SmashJam omg can we get together for a themed monopoly night?! I'll play HP monopoly with you!!!!! 
    @blackhottamales That's so sweet that you and YH had a great time talking last night. That's great that his sleep cycle isn't too thrown off with such a huge time difference. Hopefully he gets back to normal soon! Do you guys have anything fun planned (date night?) now that's back home?

  • Long day!!  Coming back for tags  B)

    @canucklehead123 I do love Cards Against Humanity.  How is the no alcohol going?  What convinced you to give it up?  I am debating...but I do really love the occasional glass of red wine or yummy cocktail.
    @therealbitts Yay for good timing!  Have fun!  ;);)  It is regular yoga.  What about the one you go to?  
    @elolin  Thanks for the reassurance...it's been such a bummer not to have the app working.  And wow, what an amazing honor/trip!  Are you technically in line (or being seriously considered) for the ED position?
    @jaylii  Yes to apples to apples! What is Mind Hunter?  Movie or show?
    @princesslockness How cool re: the life sized candy land game!  What a creative mama you have!  
    @Sarafuss Yay for your date night tomorrow.  I love dressing up and going to weddings.  Is it for a close friend or family member?  Sorry for the charting/cycle frustrations.  Do you like your RE?  Since you've been to an RE previously, at what point after trying on your own can you go back to him/her?
    @Mylitta Do you think you did not O this cycle? Or are you just at the end of TWW?
    @offtoneverland Thank you for the tip!  Also, I may have missed an update, but are you benched due to travel or to your doctor's recommendations to wait a cycle?
    @nimmle  Yay for YH cooking dinner, but the description made me lol.   :D   I would not be satisfied with just chicken breasts and no sides! Haha
    @blackhottamales  Have you played Canasta?  It's fun.  Yay for YH being home!  I've missed so much while I've been gone...was he on a trip for work or fun?
    @westphilly  Sorry for CD1.  Hope you can do something for yourself this week. <3
    @mrsinterweb  Yes to beautiful weather!  We spent some time outside this afternoon and it was lovely.  Also, yes I may just try using the browser on my phone because I miss TB. :)
    @mygoodlucycat  Have you tried Canasta?  That's the latest one I've learned/been playing.  Any fun weekend plans?
    @SmashJam  Yay for kids napping or for being consistent with workouts!  I do love me some HGTV...tell me more about desert flippers.

    @dukestar5 yah - the no alocohol is not going that great lol, I needed a drink after a full day of moving! It's More of an aspiration! 
    @elolin yes I am Canadian!  I am from the lower mainland but am now living in Alberta!  I come from a very die hard Canuck family and married into a more die-hard Canuck/hockey family lol!!

  • @dukestar5 I came in towards the end and then it went to Flip or Flop, so I don't have much. Not sure it would really be my jam though, as I tend to not like the houses they show in the southwest. Less character, i think? Maybe its just the shows. And the house they flipped was like, $480k! I dunno where they were because I came in at the end but I really thought houses out in the Southwest weren't that expensive!
  • @dukestar5 The doctor benched me for a cycle. She said it wasn't a huge deal but that it would make things easier if I had a real, regular period before trying again. 
    @SmashJam Regarding your question earlier about TWs, from what I understand any mention of one's kids should have TWs. But ideally, I think the best place for kid talk is in the TFAS thread, just to be respectful to everyone else and to give them a safe space, especially on hard TTC days. But I could be wrong about that. I tend to play it extra safe.

  • @offtoneverland good call. I get confused on what thread everyone has commented in but that does make it safe to keep it in TFAS. 
  • @therealbitts Exploding Kittens is a card game that's really fun and has random funny cartoons on the cards. You basically keep drawing until you draw an exploding kitten card and then you're out. But there are ways to keep the card from detonating (so to speak) so there is some strategy to it. It's family friendly too, but I think they do make an "adults only" version.

  • @dukestar5 I am in line to be the next ED. I have been with the organization for 9 years and everyone else I work with is 50+ so when our board started thinking about successors I was a logical choice as it’s a fairly niche position that really requires on the job training to understand the work so between my experience and age (and I recently learned personality played into it as well as I am really good at being diplomatic) they felt I would be a good fit. I’ve been training and taking on pieces of the ED role now for 2 years but still have a ton to learn so am thankful it will be a slow and gradual process!

    @canucklehead123 That makes sense! My first boyfriend was an Oilers fan so I’ve always adopted them my as ‘my’ team when I have to pick someone to root for!

    @SmashJam **TW kids - thank you for asking! Yes, DD is well on the mend already thankfully! I’ll be glad when the middle of the night antibiotic doses are over though - 8 night to go - end TW**

    @offtoneverland Keeping mention of kids in the TFAS makes totally sense

  • @elolin Congrats on being in line to be the next ED. A good succession plan and clear communication about your future are invaluable at work! I haven't been to Austria, but I studied for a year in Italy, so if you have questions as you start to plan for that part of your trip, happy to help. Venice is one of my favorite cities in the whole world!!

    @mrsinterweb I have to check out exploding Kittens!

  • @dukestar5 sorry for the super late reply.  But I wanted to answer your question anyway!  I love my RE, he's awesome.  And after having our first baby we just called him up and made an appt for a consult and he was fine with doing Femara+TI right away.  I wasn't having a cycle on my own at all then so it made sense to go back.  But I think with most RE's, once you are a patient or have a diagnosed fertility issue you don't have to wait a certain amount of time before you go back.  I could have called him a few months ago but I wanted to try this the "free" way instead of spending the money cycling if we could help it lol.
