GTKY: What holiday tradition are you looking forward to next month?
Re: TWW Sunday 11/26
CD/DPO: 22/11
Typical LP Length: 12
Timing: Decent
Testing: BFN yesterday and temp drop today. Most likely out but looking forward to the RE meeting on Tuesday.
R/R: Rave: We had a wonderful time hosting my family this year. My parents bought a piece of land about 45 minutes from us which we're excited about! They'll build their retirement house there. Rant: An old back injury has been flaring up the past couple of days. H says our new insurance probably covers PT though so I may finally be able to have it taken care of.
CS/Q: Naw
GTKY: We just did one of my favorites yesterday, which is to go out to a local tree farm to pick out our Christmas tree. H and I have gone four years now. I guess the next one I'm looking forward to is decorating gingerbread houses/cookies with my family.
CD/DPO: 20/7
Typical LP Length: Not sure
Timing: Lots
Testing: I'm trying my hardest to wait until 12/1. I almost tested this morning even though I knew it would be negative. Then once I start testing, I can't stop.
R/R: We finished decorating the outside of the house and it makes me so happy. I love Christmas time.
CS/Q: None
GTKY: What holiday tradition are you looking forward to next month? My husband grew up in Switzerland so we celebrate St. Nicholas Day on December 6th. Lots of yummy food and we do a Secret Santa.

@eleven_ @SkilledSailor share your decorations, I love seeing how people decorate!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD/DPO: 21/6
Typical LP Length:12-13
Timing: -5, -3, -2, O
Testing: Also trying to hold out until at least 12/1 but SS like crazy in the meantime
R/R: The four day weekend went by way too fast! Worked like 6 hours yesterday and realistically should work another 6ish today to be ready for tomorrow but I would much rather just watch football with DH all day. I did all our laundry yesterday though so at least that's done!
CS/Q: I can not for the life of my figure out how to share a non-thumb version of my chart, help? I am also confused by the dip yesterday at 5DPO, that is too early for an implantation dip right?
GTKY: What holiday tradition are you looking forward to next month? We are kind of skipping the holiday traditions this year since we are honeymooning from the 15th-25th but I am doing Secret Santa with my college friends which is always fun. Any suggestions for a professional (lawyer) 34 year old mother of three? I have my best friend from college this year so you would think it would be easy but I am struggling for ideas!

@eleven_ Oh do you go all out with your outside decorations? We put up a couple strings of lights and are still working on our collection. Switzerland must have been beautiful at Christmas time!
Month/Cycle: 6/6 (1 benched)
CD/DPO: 19/5
Typical LP Length:14
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing: Nope
R/R: DH is on duty again, so TW * I have DSS with me all day. I am pooped from his birthday yesterday. *TW So much laundry and cleaning. Pot roast in the slow cooker though.
CS/Q: I have decided to stop temping after O is confirmed. So nothing to see here.
GTKY: What holiday tradition are you looking forward to next month? Cutting down our tree! Which we will do next weekend. We take the dog and do the hot cocoa and everything. Last year the tree was enormous and took up half out living room. Our goal is to find one less invasive this year.
@eleven_ I want to put lights up on our porch, but there are no outlets to plug them in. Post pics of your decorations!
@legallykate I just take a screenshot of my chart and post that. I wouldn't read too much into a temp dip. I've had an "implantation dip" almost every month, and I've never been pregnant.
-------------------------
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD/DPO: 25/12dpiui
Typical LP Length: 13 days
Timing: IUI
Testing: beta tomorrow!
R/R: I actually got days off over this break! MH and I relaxed, ate good food, played games, watched movies, and generally goofed off. Now I have to get some work done today to be ready for tomorrow. I'm feeling really anxious about my beta tomorrow. MH and I have really gotten our hopes up, and we're going to be devastated if it's a BFN. Plus I'll probably get the results in the middle of the work day, and have to go on with teaching and meetings no matter what the result. Not looking forward to that!
CS/Q: Temps are high from progesterone, but I keep getting my hopes up anyway.
GTKY: What holiday tradition are you looking forward to next month?
Right now I'm just looking forward to getting our tree up! We have to figure out how to set it up in such a way that our cats can't destroy it. It'll be a challenge!

@legallykate I will happily share my decorations when I finish cleaning up a bit. All the decor bins are still spread throughout the living room, haha. I would think your secret Santa person is probably pretty tired. Maybe some sort of fancy bath stuff or a spa gift card?
@nitnat007 We don't cut it down but all the other things are still there! Hot cocoa, growing trees of different variations, hay rides, etc. It's cute. Cutting your own tree down seems so cool though! That should be fun. Hope you get to rest some this week.
@darkstar42 So glad you were able to take some time off this past week. You needed that! Crossing everything for you for your beta tomorrow!
@darkstar42, I’m rooting so hard for you and will be sending lots of good energy and thoughts your way tomorrow! FX!!!
@Augusta108 I've been wondering where you were! I've missed you so much but understand you needing a Bump break.
@darkstar42 I'm so impressed that you haven't tested yet. Good for you! I've got everything crossed for you for your beta tomorrow. I hope you can distract yourself today!

R/R: I mixed up the leftover sausage from making stuffing with the leftover taco meat and made a sausage taco. Unfortunately, it didn't taste that great.
CS/Q: nothing
GTKY: What holiday tradition are you looking forward to next month? We might actually get to decorate outside this year! we have to check our rental agreement for the neighborhood, but I think we can do it! Otherwise, totally looking forward to Christmas baking and sugar cookie decorating.
@SkilledSailor - yay for chopping down the christmas tree! that's so much fun to do. What kind did you get? Hope your back feels better soon (and that you can get some PT!)
@eleven_ - St. Nicholas Day!! how awesome that you guys do that.
@legallykate - Some people just share a link, and those who get charts bigger either take a screenshot from their home page. I know for images, etc. i can resize the image using html, but haven't tried it with FF code, so not sure if/how that would work. I agree with @SkilledSailor, maybe some spa stuff, mani/pedi, massage? Some girl time away from the kids.
@nitnat007 - LOLing at the "less invasive this year". Hope you can get a quieter day!
@darkstar42 - SO excited for you! FX! Also, the cats. We have two, one of who is a kitty tornado. We don't decorate the last third of our tree. Anything below that line is easy prey for getting knocked off the tree. We're debating where to put it, our current furniture layout works well but we'd have to move something to get it in a more kitty-safe zone. I want to move the couch so it is kitty-safe, DH wants to put the tree in front of our bookcases (essentially creating kitty launch zone).
also, only a few precious ornaments (the ones my grandma made, etc.) go on the tree at the top. anything i'm worried about getting broken (and irreplaceable) won't go on.

@darkstar42 You are motivating me to get my crochet stuff out too. I have been wanting to get some new yarn to make a hat. Need to get on that.
@SkilledSailor Cutting it down can be a challenge (especially when the saw isn't the sharpest lol). But we loved it and the pup loved being out there with us. It was a full on adventure!
@catlady2015 In theory those tacos sound awesome! Too bad they didn't turn out well. Oh and you just reminded me that I have my mom's ornament that I need to put on the tree this year. Extremely delicate, hand painted from the inside with a very intricate setting. Will be our first year having it here.
@darkstar42 - my fingers, toes and everything else is crossed for you!!!
Fx for tomorrow @darkstar42

@legallykate what’s your price target?
@nitnat007 you described your tree and I automatically thought about Christmas Vacation
@darkstar42 FX for good betas. Also your holiday vacation sounds perfect

@darkstar42 wishing you lots of luck today!!!
Cd/dpo : 37/5
Typical lp: 10days
Timing : not sure
Testing: trying to wait until Saturday at least but prob won't.
This is my first cycle ttc, not even sure I ovulated as I didn't get a positive Lh, and my temps where all over the place. Fertility friend said O occurred CD 32 so I'm going with that. This is way more stressful than I imagined.
Good luck everyone!
