@SkilledSailor I love the barstools! (and clearly kitty does too, so cute!) Leather is clutch with furballs.
@BusinessWife Sorry, I wasn't trying to be a rebel, I didn't know it was SOP to wait for CHs to move over and didn't see that in the guide #newbmistake

Me: 37, MH: 38; Married August 2017
TTC #1 October 2017: BFP on 12/1/2017, DD born 7/24/2018 @ 37+1 after induction due to preeclampsia
TTC #2 January 2020: AMA, dx with DOR in May 2020
IVF July 2020: 16 eggs retrieved, 14 mature, 12 fertilized, 3 blasts, 2 PGT-A normal
FET 10/7/20: BFP on 10/12/20!!! (EDD 6/25/21); First beta 10/16/20 (9dpt): 148; Second beta 10/19/20 (12dpt): 621; Third beta 10/26/20 (19dpt): 4732; Fourth (and final!) beta 11/2/20 (26 dpt): 22,000+
@legallykate. Aw, no worries. Not sure why it wouldn't be in there, but nbd. Thanks for not getting too awfully butthurt over it, either. ;) you're all right. ❤
R/R: FriYaY!! And I have a massage this afternoon! (Total massage newb, so it is going to be interesting). Then off home to go start making that cake. I may start drinking early today lol.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's your ideal hairstyle? (Pic or GIF if possible) If only my hair would do this..... but enter cowlicks and dead ends.
@nitnat007 I'm hanging in there! MH and I are both anxious for my beta Monday, but we had a lovely day yesterday. Today we're doing a little work this morning (can't you tell I'm hard at work right now?) and then goofing off for the rest of the day. Might go to a movie. How was your holiday?
@nitnat007 You will LOVE the massage, enjoy! I always have to force myself to try to zone out and not think about a million work/home things to really make the most of it, so that is my advice, just to be in the moment and enjoy.
@blackhottamales Sorry about moving to WTO. Internet stranger hugs to you.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 19/4 Typical LP Length: 12-13 days
Timing: -5, -3, -2, O
Testing: Trying to hold off until 12/2 but already kind of laughing at myself for believing I will wait that long.
R/R: Going to my dad's for Thanksgiving Part II today, luckily my stepmom is just doing heavy apps in recognition that everyone gorged yesterday. I did not drink at all yesterday and am going to try to abstain today, so here's hoping my dad avoids talking politics
CS/Q: Does anyone else notice a not-insignificant change in temps if you sleep an hour less or an extra hour? I have made myself be good about temping at the same time every morning lately, but it seems like my temps fluctuate based on what time I go to sleep and whether I get 6 versus 8 hours of sleep. I guess it makes sense but it is somewhat annoying.

@darkstar42 I am rooting for you guys! I really hope you get good results Monday. Going for a movie and keeping distracted sounds like a good idea. What will you go and see? I am in Canada, so no holiday for me. But I will be going straight home after my massage today. So almost like a mini holiday
@legallykate I think that will be my biggest struggle with a massage. I will feel like I have SO much to get done that that is all I will be thinking about the whole time. But, my trainer has said it will do my body a world of good. So off I go lol. Good for you for not drinking yesterday! FX that politics stays out of out today's festivities too. I must admit that is one of my trigger topics too. When it comes up I leave the room. MH loves a debate, so he will get stuck no matter what.
@blackhottamales - so sorry about heading to WTO. creepy internet stranger hugs to you. @nitnat007 - FriYAY indeed! Enjoy the massage! I love getting them. I feel so much better - it releases tension i had no idea I was holding onto. Don't be afraid to ask the therapist for more or less pressure, or let them know if a certain area's really bugging you. They'll structure the massage appropriately. @darkstar42 - yay for beta on Monday! I can tell you're so hard at work today. @legallykate - I know I have a test date in my head, but the SS is REAL right now! Going to fight super hard to not let the crazy win and start poas at 8dpo. I can't answer your question about the temps, i see it some when I have insomnia and don't get as much sleep (temp is elevated), but everybody's body is different. Maybe ask in the chart stalk thread?
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD/DPO: 19/6 Typical LP Length: 12
Timing: O, +1
Testing: 11/30 (the day before AF is due). will test if temp is still high - usually get a temp dip the day before AF arrives. I just don't want to be this:
R/R: Technically off for a long weekend. Unfortunately, we have a contract due towards the end of next week I have to wrap up and I won't get it done if I don't work. Taking today off and will do work tomorrow and sunday. Plan to ask for next Fri as comp time.
@legallykate Oh lord, no thanks. I'm firmly in camp "drink till it's pink". Especially when in-laws are involved.
@catlady2015 Sorry you're working a bit today. I only do black Friday deals if it's online. We went to some antique shops in a nearby town but sadly, they did not have any sales going on. What about you?
@SkilledSailor - went to tj maxx and dunham’s Sports just to pick up a couple things. All my family lives far away so I’ll be doing almost all my shopping online and sending directly to them. Fortunately, it was not crazy, just busy.
@SkilledSailor@catlady2015@legallykate Masage was great! I would say that she does more of a sports based massage which was good for me as my quads really need the work. She didn’t over do it today knowing that I am a massage virgin. She had a good chuckle out of that when I told her. She thought I was going to tell her something bad lol. I’m booked to go back in a couple weeks. I’m sure I’ll be tender tomorrow though.
Guys, I'm starting to really stress out about my beta on Monday! I haven't tested and won't before then, but I'm so anxious. I keep watching my temps even though I know the progesterone will probably keep them high regardless. I need suggestions for how to stay distracted tomorrow!
@darkstar42 Shopping, home DIY project that you know will take focus, hit up your local touristy spots for a staycation, yoga class, movies, puzzles. Any of those sound good?
@SkilledSailor Thanks, friend. I've been doing movies and puzzles, but a DIY project is a good idea! Maybe I'll do some baking and crochet tomorrow. How are you doing?
We've been doing movies and puzzles too I've been doing ok. We had family in town up until this morning so that's been a great distraction. We're now anxiously awaiting our RE appt on Tuesday. What about you? What will you be crocheting tomorrow?
@SkilledSailor I hope your RE appointment goes well! Is this your first appointment after getting all your test results? I was working on crocheting a blanket, but I'm not happy with how it's looking, so I might unravel it and start over. I do also have some work to do tomorrow. I'm giving an exam Monday, so I should probably finish writing it! @BusinessWife I have my fx so hard for you for Monday too!
@darkstar42 Thank you! Yes it is. H won't be able to go with me so I'll be taking lots of notes. Sorry you'll be working a bit today! I guess it being a distraction is the silver lining.
