WAYDTGKU: Currently abstaining until the US tomorrow. If given the go ahead we'll be HIO like drunk college kids. Coq10 for both, CM, BBT, OPKs.
R/R: Rant: It's my long work day and I am still bloated. None of my nice looking clothes fit and I really don't want to meet with a client wearing sweats so I'm super uncomfortable today. Rave: I booked a lot of new clients yesterday! It was a good day.
CS/Q: Any one else have sustained high temps after clomid? Is BBT pointless this cycle?
GTKY: Looking back, this is not the worst gift someone could be given. It is actually a nice gift. But, both of my brothers got cool tents and went "camping" in the backyard with them and I got a big dollhouse. I ended up playing with my dollhouse for months after they lost interest in their tents but on Christmas day I was devastated that my toy wasn't like theirs.
Month/Cycle: 5/3 CD: 20 WAYDTGKU: Waking my husband way before he needs to get out of bed based on a line on a piece of plastic I peed on. R/R: I'm on antibiotics (yay BV for the third time) and side effects are hitting me hard. The worst is this weird taste in my mouth. I'm eating old potato chips in hopes that the saltiness covers it up for a bit. But the salad place near my school finally started making soup, so yay soup for lunch. CS/Q: Got a positive OPK today! So I shook DH awake and we HIO before I had to run to work. But my whole abdomen feels bruised, and I don't know why. Any ladies have a similar feeling? GTKY: A tie between cash to buy lingerie or the ex who admitted to me that he had his mom buy my present, which is why it was the antithesis of anything I would wear.
@SkilledSailor I didn't do BBT during this cycle because a) I kept forgetting and b) my doctor pretty much prescribed us a range of days to HIO. I'm also so bloated (salty chips not withstanding). I felt like I was going to lose a button yesterday.
Me: 28 DH: 29 Married: 6/2016 TTC #1: 12/2016 Benched due to deployment- Off the bench 8/8/17!
@SkilledSailor Why have they not come up with business acceptable sweatpants yet? It really should be a thing. Sorry you are feeling bloated. Yay for new clients! I think I would have been a little sour about the tents too. Being left out is not cool.
@jsnakehole Ugh, medication after taste is not fun! Hope the stale chips help. What is the soup of the day? NO, he did not get his mom to buy your gift? That is just wrong!

WAYDTGKU: saving my tears to drown in later
R/R: It is only Wednesday and it feels like it really should be Friday. Those two days away were crazy busy, and I am far from done. Traveling for work bites. And getting AF on the plane home was extra special. This cycle hit me a little hard and I don't even think I processed it yet. And I missed you guys!
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? I am sure I have received worse, but one year my aunt gave me this gawd awful necklace. big beads, strange colours, offset abstract thing. It was made by some fancy artist, but just not at all my style. I contemplated taking it apart and trying to use some of the individual pieces and couldn't even come up with anything good. It sits in a box in my basement.
R/R: All the rants… This is probably TMI but its TTGP related so here we
go. DH and I got in a fight this morning about sex and it’s not the first time.
I’ve been having trouble getting and/or staying aroused during sex. When I was
on BCP I thought that was the culprit, but I’ve been off them for almost 3
months and it’s still sometimes a problem. It makes me feel like such a
failure. Which leads to my question…
CS/Q: Does anybody have a lube recommendation that’s good for TTGP and
just in general? DH has always been anti-lube but I’m hoping using it will take
some of the pressure off of me because I’m hyper aware of what my body is or
isn’t doing during sex.
GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? MIL gave DH and I passport
holders one year for Christmas. DH doesn’t even have a passport and neither of
us had talked about going anywhere that we would need one.
@skilledsailor I hope you get the go ahead tomorrow! Sorry
you’re feeling uncomfortable. There’s nothing like wearing clothes that don’t
make you feel good to really mess with your day.
@jsnakehole what kind of soup are you going to get?
@nitnat007 that necklace sounds awful, but I’m laughing that
you considered taking it apart and repurposing it. It must have been bad if it
couldn’t have even been salvaged that way.
@SkilledSailor I second needing professional sweat pants! I tend to wear leggings or tights and a flowy dress on my bloated days. Have fun tomorrow if given the go ahead!! @jsnakehole Yay for + opk! @nitnat007 Getting AF sucks but to get it on an airplane sucks even more, I'm sorry I read an article a while back that something about being in the air makes the flow/cramps worst while flying so I hope yours wasnt too bad. @melbel0824 Ive heard alot of great things about preseed lube. I have not tried yet but definitely thinking about purchasing soon as ive heard alot of women who conceive using it.

R/R: Today is my company Christmas party! Excited to get dressed up and drink with my coworkers lol I also have my performance review today, hoping for a pay raise. No rants today, hoping it stays that way.
CS/Q: None today, just waiting to turn opk positive soon!
GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? My godmother tends to give some pretty strange gifts. I dont want to name specific things but things that just werent my style at all.

Month/Cycle: 1/1 CD:1 WAYDTGKU: PNV, cycle tracking R/R: My work is being a pain in my butt. I am slow right now but I have a pile of work piling up at another location that they haven't transferred to me yet which when I get will put me way behind. CS/Q: none GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? Basically everything my grandmother gives. Last year she gave me a teddy bear with 2017 on it. She was so excited to tell me she found this christmas bear at a yard sale and it even had the right year on it! Upon closer look.. this yard sale bear was acutally 2007 but she pulled half the thread out of the 0 to make it a 1...
@SkilledSailor - sorry you are uncomfortable today. I hate "dressing up" for work, so I know how that feels.
@jsnakehole - your "WAYD..." made me giggle. Fingers crossed for you!
@nitnat007 - I'm with you in the "feels like Friday" boat...
@melbel0824 - Passport holders and covers are a really poor gift choice, especially in your situation. However being a world traveller (only sometimes) I have seen so many security agents make people take their passports out of whatever holder they are in, so there really is not much point to using one.
@kobrien827 - Work party... on a Wednesday? Regardless, I hope you have fun and your review goes well!
WAYDTGKU: Nothing special. I did tell husband that the increased action this week wasn't only because of his birthday tomorrow. As expected, he doesn't mind!
R/R: Rant: Month-end closes today, but the payables department has yet to provide me with the information I need to finish things on my end. It makes me feel ragey, even though they CAN'T expect me to finish if they don't provide me enough time.
CS/Q: Awkward (but maybe not so awkward) question time - is nipple soreness a symptom of something? Boobs aren't sore, just the nips. For seemingly no reason. I've only been of BC for a few weeks, so I'm trying to figure out what my body's new normal is...
GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? Clothing from an ex's family. Not my size, not my style. I don't understand why people buy other people clothing unless they are SURE it's something they want, need, and verify style/size with someone?!?
@SkilledSailor good luck with the US and clomid @jsnakehole yay OPK! @nitnat007 sorry for CD1 @melbel0824 totally understand being hyper aware of what my body is doing especially TTC @kobrien827 hope you get your raise! @Stargazer1lily I hate when people do that with gifts.. my Gtny is similar, it has actually happened several times @kristah2 omg yard sale bear
Month/ cycle: 1/1 CD: 19 WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt etc R/R: think I Od finally, waiting for crosshairs. Just hoping AF is later than expected and I have a normal LP CS/Q GTKY: the worst gift I've ever gotten was my first Christmas with my then fiancé, a DVD of Zombieland. He just wanted to watch it and he actually defended his choice when I was like WTF. Not that I hate zombie movies but I had never expressed any interest and it seemed the least romantic present.
TTGP December Siggy Challenge: Favourite Holiday Movie Moment
Re: professional sweatpants- I think it's a great idea, both as a clothing item and as a potential band name (incase Bitter Hags of TTGP doesn't work out).
As for soup of the day, the choices were lentil and chicken noodle. I went with chicken noodle, because how can I pass up noodles?

GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? My sister gave me a used backpack (she was younger) for my HS graduation, which broke 3 months later.
@jsnakehole - mmm, soup for lunch! sounds delicious. Sorry about the bloaty and bruised feelings.
@nitnat007 - wow, what a crummy day. sorry about AF on the plane, how awful!
@melbel0824 - lots of ladies use pre-seed as a lube, but I hear it's super slippery and you don't need to use much. Helpful especially if you don't produce a lot of CM.
@kobrien827 - have fun at the christmas party tonight!
@Stargazer1lily - those are awful - why would someone buy someone a gift that they knew was more for themselves? lame....
@kristah2 - hope the work gets transferred over! i kind of like it being a little slow at work, but i know i'll pay for it later. and OMG about your grandma! i'm sure she thought she was being savvy by rearranging the numbers.
@kimberbeep - omg. pet peeve, don't buy someone clothing unless you know them really well. Maybe get away with a scarf/mittens, etc. but nothing else.
@SkilledSailor way to go on getting new clients! congrats!! also, i always where dresses when i'm bloated. Nice A-line dresses, that's the only thing i can get away without being SUPER uncomfortable. @jsnakehole oh my gosh your ex's gift. that is crazy. also yippe for + OPK @nitnat007 i'm so sorry for CD1 and for flying home whilst starting AF. i hope you don't have to travel for awhile. @melbel0824 I'm sorry for the fight. that's unfair of YH to put so much pressure on you. @kobrien827 GL, i hope you get a pay raise! enjoy the party @kristah2 oh know, fx things settle down at work for you soon @kimberbeep i agree--why would you buy clothes for someone if you aren't sure? socks, fine but clothing? odd @matryoshkadoll fx CHs come tomorrow! @darkstar42 i'm sorry to hear about your neck, i hope you are able to rest and recover quickly. what's your expected IUI date? i forget

WAYDTGKU: HIO, BBT, PNV
R/R: It's so cold here. I have a nice holiday business luncheon today, so i wore a dress and leggings. But i ride the bus and it felt like 0 out this morning, so i had yoga pants over my tights, snow boots, down coat and a large scarf tied around my face. MH kissed my nose very sweetly when i left since nothing else was available.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: either the nothing present or card from MH for our first wedding anniversary. OR an ugly "I love chocolate" sweatshirt from my uncle and aunt when i was young. First off, i don't love chocolate and second did you just get that because i was chubby? who would wear that? i'm usually pretty good regarding faking thankfulness, but i couldn't on that one--i actually almost cried and my aunt said i was being too sensitive. She and i still don't get along.
@jsnakehole Our RE prescribed us days to HIO as well. I was wanting to still use BBT to confirm O but I'll probably abandon that idea.
@nitnat007@kobrien827@catlady2015Right?! If I could find some good women's joggers that'd be fabulous. H has some that look nice but feel like sweats. Not fair.
@nitnat007 Sorry for AF and getting it on the plane! That is not fun.
@melbel0824 Sorry you're struggling with the TTC sex. Seconding what others said about preseed.
@kobrien827 Good luck with the raise! Sounds like a good day.
@darkstar42 Oh no! Can you get in to for an acupuncture/massage/chiropractic appointment today?
@blackhottamales I need to get some good winter dresses if we're going to keep up with medicated cycles. All of mine are cotton and sleeveless. I need to get on your layering level!
@SkilledSailor I also wanted to wear sweatpants to work today. @nitnat007@kobrien827 My friend swears by these "Dress Pant Yoga Pants" and I'm thinking about buying some: https://www.betabrand.com/womens/pants/dress-pant-yoga-pants-collection/high-waisted-dress-pant-yoga-leggings?r=4JqI. @jsnakehole I'm loving soup for lunch as the weather gets colder! Hooray for positive OPK! @nitnat007 So sorry for CD1 @melbel0824 One thing that seemed to help me last cycle was drinking tons of water and drinking a cup of green tea every day while WTO. It seems that preseed works well for a lot of people, but unfortunately my DH said it numbed him. After two times trying it, I Googled and saw a lot of other couples experienced the same thing. I hope it works for you if you do decide to try it! @kobrien827 Hope you have fun at the party and FX for a raise! @kristah2 Oh my gosh that is hysterical about your grandmother's gift! @kimberbeep FX that all goes well with your month end closing today! @matryoshkadoll FX for crosshairs tomorrow! @darkstar42 Hope your neck feels better soon! @catlady2015 Cookie dough sounds amazing... @blackhottamales That is a ridiculous gift!

GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? My DH's grandmother bought me a hideous blouse with neon orange, green and yellow triangles all over it for Christmas a few years ago. It looked like something a 90 year old woman would have worn in the last 80's. Thankfully, she sent a gift receipt so I returned it and bought something I would actually wear.

gtky: I’m pretty easy going regarding gifts, so I can’t really think of anything too terrible!
@SkilledSailor I totally wear black jeggings every day. They look like normal black pants and are so
comfortable! I got mine from Old
Navy. Stretchy waistband and all.
@jsnakehole Yay chicken noodle soup. I got a positive OPK
yesterday too. I wish I could wake DH up
early to BD but he wont have that lol.
@melbel0824 I am in a similar boat DH and awkward sex
fights. Except it’s the other way
around, he can’t stay aroused cause I put too much pressure on him. Last night was so awkward but we did get BD
in. Ugh TTGP is stressful
@Stargazer1lily I am in the same but with trying to get my
husband to eat healthy… any advice??
@kristah2 All my bad gifts have been from my grandma too
lol.
@kimberbeep Clothing is definitely the worst gift… unless it’s
sweatpants.
@matryoshkadoll I am also hoping my LP is a normal
length. This month is my first month
using OPKs so I have a better idea when O is.
@darkstar42 Sorry for your neck pain! I get neck pain all the time from my
scoliosis and chiari malformation. I have a rice bag that I warm up and drape
over my shoulders. It helps a
little. But the best is when DH gives me
a massage.
@carlady2015 Cookie dough is not the same without chocolate
chips!!!
@blackhottamales The temperatures drop where I am too this
week… it sucks! I also take the bus and I
think I should buy a long parka for the commute.

before. I’m hoping we can get one more
in today.
CS/Q: Not today
GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? My grandparents don’t have much money so they
always give us gifts from Walmart/Shopko/Dollar general… One year, when I was
in high school, I got a thin jean vest that had Noah’s ark and animals on it.
It was 3 sizes too big and was hideous. Thankfully
my mom was sitting next to me when I opened it and covered for me as I was trying
to suppress a giggle.

CS/Q:
GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? I can't think of anything specific at the moment, but I know there have been a few things that I've gotten and then donated right away. One time my aunt re-gifted a wind chime to me. Don't get me wrong I like wind chimes it was just really awkward when I opened the box and there was a little note in it reminding her who had given it to her...if you're going to re-gift be sure to fully inspect the item.
@melbel0824 replying from yesterday, but congrats on successfully peeing in a wrapper...it's the little things. lol others have recommended pre-seed, I've not used it personally but it seems to be favored around these parts. @eleven_ also replying from yesterday re: opks. my advice use them a couple of times a day and maybe start a little earlier in your cycle so you can really see the progression of the line. This will give you a chance to get the hang of using them and will help you to really see the change in the line. FWIW, my first cycle using them I started on CD9 and got a surprise positive opk. I may try some different times too depending on your schedule/flexibility @SkilledSailor ugh sorry to hear you're still dealing with the side effects Clomid is one of those drugs with a long half life so it may take a while for them to subside. @nitnat007 CD1 is the worst. sorry you find yourself here again. Friday will be here soon. @blackhottamales wow you're aunt sounds like a peach. good luck staying warm! @darkstar42 that sounds miserable. were you able to get more work done in the coffee shop?
edit: clarification

"Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks, some doors are open, some roads are blocked"
re: pre-seed - I just bought some two days ago. First... holy expensive batman!!! Second, (TMI?) it's not as watery as the silicone stuff we usually use. The silicone stuff is like water and drips everywhere, which is annoying, but nice cause you don't have to re-apply. Pre-seed is definitely more like a gel, which I am not used to, and we almost needed to re-apply.
@kimberbeep I read in quite a few threads that it can increase CM during your FW. Also, before we started TTC I was drinking two cups of coffee in the mornings, and now I'm down to one cup of coffee and one cup of green tea. I stop drinking it once I've confirmed O.
Me: 32 DH: 32 BFP #1: 1/23/2012 DD: Born 9/20/2012 BFP #2: 12/30/2017 DS: Due 9/10/2018
@melbel0824 As others have suggested, give preseed a go. It is very watery though. But does the trick. What an odd gift, passport holders.
@kobrien827 The cramps were not pleasant at all. I was extremely cranky when I got off the plane. FX for the raise and enjoy the party.
@kimberbeep Agreed, stay away from buying clothes for someone unless you know exactly what you are doing, or give a gift receipt and expect it to be exchanged.
@blackhottamales Home for along while thankfully. Awww I can just picture that. Super cute! Your aunt sounds like a treat. Ugh.... But how can you not like chocolate!!
@Avrilmai Haha wow! That is priceless. One really should inspect the gift before passing it along.

CS/Q: Nothing yet to see
GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? A necklace with the wrong birthstone....from someone who I knew well enough that they should've gotten it right
@nitnat007 I'm right there with ya girl. How'd we get to 6&7 months? I've been having the sads recently. @melbel0824 We've been using preseed. Hubby says he likes it more than the reg stuff we used to use lol. Oh and is your birthday 08/24? That's mine!
Thanks for the suggestion of pre-seed. I’ll have to check
that out.
I’ve actually heard good things about the betabrand yoga
work pants. I don’t own any, but friends do and love them. I have a pair of
ponte knit pants I got at BJ’s (of all places) and they’re basically like
wearing sweatpants to work because of the elastic waistband.
@kobrien827 Have so much fun tonight! I love parties,
although having one on a Wednesday is a little odd.
@stargazer1lily Ugh, brothers can be so dense sometimes.
Mine would totally have done something like that growing up too.
@kristah2 I’m dying at your grandmother’s craftiness.
@kimberpeep Thanks for the review of pre-seed lol. Maybe a
little awkward, but I appreciate it.
@melbel0824 There is also a TTC- friendly lube called Conceive Plus. Still expensive, though I found it cheaper than Preseed. *TMI* I actually put it straight into me, which helps a lot.
@SkilledSailor Yay for booking some new clients! (I'm sorry about the bloat. Did you end up finding something that fits and is comfortable for your meeting?) @jsnakehole I've been known to wake up my hubby for that reason too. I know you are happy to finally get the positive opk! @nitnat007 Sorry for CD1, friend. Glad you are back from the work trip. We missed you too! @melbel0824 I'm sorry! I definitely recommend lube, especially to make it more enjoyable for you. We've enjoyed pre-seed. I also found Good Clean Love: Natural Lubricant (on amazon and in Target). @kobrien827 How was your company Christmas party? Was it a very formal event? @Stargazer1lily Good for you for encouraging healthy habits! @kristah2 I'm sorry about work stress! Also, your story about your grandma's gift giving made me laugh. @kimberbeep I hope you were able to get everything done that you needed to for work! It's a pain when someone does not do their part when your work depends upon it. @matryoshkadoll Yay for O! FX that your LP is not too short. @darkstar42 So sorry to hear about your neck. Do you think it is from sleeping on it in a funny way? Or just from being tense at work or from some type of exercise? @catlady2015 Agreed! Chocolate chips are a very important part of cookies/cookie dough. @blackhottamales How did the business luncheon go? It's always fun to dress up. @southernlady07 Welcome! Thank goodness for gift receipts, right?! That sweater sounded very special. @LJMoon6 Yay for the positive OPK and getting in some timing. @Avrilmai So sorry about your headache! I hope you get some relief. @josie12367 Missed you. Glad you are back with us.
*lurking @SkilledSailor, I temped on clomid, my temps were high for longer than expected, and I thought I was bot going to get CH, but both cycles FF was able to show when I ovulated. Hope you start feeling better soon from the side effects.
@skilledsailor So sorry for all the side effects you've been having. Have they decided what they're going to switch you to next cycle if need be? Hopefully the correct ovary is ovulating for you. Good luck on your ultrasound today! @jsnakehole Clomid made me super bloated and tender. I almost felt like I had the flu like aches everywhere. FX for this to be the only time you'll have to take it! @nitnat007 So sorry about CD1. I was so hopeful for you last cycle! ((hugs)) Eat and drink all the things... @melbel0824 I also used Preseed, and it was okay. I'm not a lube fan myself, but it got the job done. FX that HIO gets easier. I struggle with it myself. @kobrien827 FX that you got that pay raise, and had a blast at your xmas party! @Stargazer1lily Trying to get parents to do anything is a struggle. I think most just have a hard time taking advice from their kids...I get it, but then again, I do wish they would listen @Kristah2 Hope your work doesn't get to crazy once your transferred. My mother sounds like the same kind of gift giver that your grandmother is...haha...I try to roll with it, but some of the stuff she gets us is soooo random! @kimberbeep So the nip soreness could be due to getting close to ovulating? Are you doing OPKs? @matryoshkadoll FX for those CHs to appear and soon! @darkstar42 So sorry about your neck! That was me last week. I think staying up for hours on end doing my final project for school really did a number on my tension issues in my neck. Does acupuncture help with it? Maybe you can go in for a session? @catlady2015 Oh cookie dough! YUM. I need some of that in my life. Do you make a homemade egg free kind? I need one I can stock pile in my freezer and eat raw. @blackhottamales I lol'd at the thought of your DH kissing your nose...it's sweet though. Oh your aunt makes me mad. I hate when people are like that. @Southernlady07 Sorry about the heavy load at work...Hopefully your load isn't too heavy over the holidays @dukestar5 Oh geez! That sucks about the grocery store! How are things going with the clomid? Any side effects? @LJMoon6 YES for a positive OPK! Once you know what you're looking for it makes OPKs a lot less stressful! @Avrilmai I had headaches on clomid too ((Hugs)) Hope it goes away for you soon!
@jaylii I know right?! I know there are so many of us that have passed that milestone and feel like we shouldn't be here anymore, because of that whole "average". But alas, here we are. It is a tough one to swallow. Positive thoughts though!! And LOTS of ice cream!!

I ended up playing with my dollhouse for months after they lost interest in their tents but on Christmas day I was devastated that my toy wasn't like theirs.
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: Waking my husband way before he needs to get out of bed based on a line on a piece of plastic I peed on.
R/R: I'm on antibiotics (yay BV for the third time) and side effects are hitting me hard. The worst is this weird taste in my mouth. I'm eating old potato chips in hopes that the saltiness covers it up for a bit. But the salad place near my school finally started making soup, so yay soup for lunch.
CS/Q: Got a positive OPK today! So I shook DH awake and we HIO before I had to run to work. But my whole abdomen feels bruised, and I don't know why. Any ladies have a similar feeling?
GTKY: A tie between cash to buy lingerie or the ex who admitted to me that he had his mom buy my present, which is why it was the antithesis of anything I would wear.
@SkilledSailor I didn't do BBT during this cycle because a) I kept forgetting and b) my doctor pretty much prescribed us a range of days to HIO. I'm also so bloated (salty chips not withstanding). I felt like I was going to lose a button yesterday.

WAYDTGKU: saving my tears to drown in later
R/R: It is only Wednesday and it feels like it really should be Friday. Those two days away were crazy busy, and I am far from done. Traveling for work bites. And getting AF on the plane home was extra special. This cycle hit me a little hard and I don't even think I processed it yet. And I missed you guys!
CS/Q:
GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? I am sure I have received worse, but one year my aunt gave me this gawd awful necklace. big beads, strange colours, offset abstract thing. It was made by some fancy artist, but just not at all my style. I contemplated taking it apart and trying to use some of the individual pieces and couldn't even come up with anything good. It sits in a box in my basement.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: HIO, OPKs, CM, PNVs
R/R: All the rants… This is probably TMI but its TTGP related so here we go. DH and I got in a fight this morning about sex and it’s not the first time. I’ve been having trouble getting and/or staying aroused during sex. When I was on BCP I thought that was the culprit, but I’ve been off them for almost 3 months and it’s still sometimes a problem. It makes me feel like such a failure. Which leads to my question…
CS/Q: Does anybody have a lube recommendation that’s good for TTGP and just in general? DH has always been anti-lube but I’m hoping using it will take some of the pressure off of me because I’m hyper aware of what my body is or isn’t doing during sex.
GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? MIL gave DH and I passport holders one year for Christmas. DH doesn’t even have a passport and neither of us had talked about going anywhere that we would need one.
@skilledsailor I hope you get the go ahead tomorrow! Sorry you’re feeling uncomfortable. There’s nothing like wearing clothes that don’t make you feel good to really mess with your day.
@jsnakehole what kind of soup are you going to get?
@nitnat007 that necklace sounds awful, but I’m laughing that you considered taking it apart and repurposing it. It must have been bad if it couldn’t have even been salvaged that way.
@jsnakehole Yay for + opk!
@nitnat007 Getting AF sucks but to get it on an airplane sucks even more, I'm sorry I read an article a while back that something about being in the air makes the flow/cramps worst while flying so I hope yours wasnt too bad.
@melbel0824 Ive heard alot of great things about preseed lube. I have not tried yet but definitely thinking about purchasing soon as ive heard alot of women who conceive using it.

CS/Q: None today, just waiting to turn opk positive soon!
GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? My godmother tends to give some pretty strange gifts. I dont want to name specific things but things that just werent my style at all.

GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? Basically everything my grandmother gives. Last year she gave me a teddy bear with 2017 on it. She was so excited to tell me she found this christmas bear at a yard sale and it even had the right year on it! Upon closer look.. this yard sale bear was acutally 2007 but she pulled half the thread out of the 0 to make it a 1...
@jsnakehole yay OPK!
@nitnat007 sorry for CD1
@melbel0824 totally understand being hyper aware of what my body is doing especially TTC

As for soup of the day, the choices were lentil and chicken noodle. I went with chicken noodle, because how can I pass up noodles?

@SkilledSailor - hope the US goes well tomorrow! FX! PS - this is the best thing i could find for business sweatpants - wish it still wasn't a button/zipper, but fleecy inside at least! https://www.betabrand.com/think-tank/funded/womens-dress-pant-sweatpants
@jsnakehole - mmm, soup for lunch! sounds delicious. Sorry about the bloaty and bruised feelings.
@nitnat007 - wow, what a crummy day. sorry about AF on the plane, how awful!
@melbel0824 - lots of ladies use pre-seed as a lube, but I hear it's super slippery and you don't need to use much. Helpful especially if you don't produce a lot of CM.
@kobrien827 - have fun at the christmas party tonight!
@Stargazer1lily - those are awful - why would someone buy someone a gift that they knew was more for themselves? lame....
@kristah2 - hope the work gets transferred over! i kind of like it being a little slow at work, but i know i'll pay for it later. and OMG about your grandma! i'm sure she thought she was being savvy by rearranging the numbers.
@kimberbeep - omg. pet peeve, don't buy someone clothing unless you know them really well. Maybe get away with a scarf/mittens, etc. but nothing else.
@matryoshkadoll - a zombieland dvd? wow.

@jsnakehole oh my gosh your ex's gift. that is crazy. also yippe for + OPK
@nitnat007 i'm so sorry for CD1 and for flying home whilst starting AF. i hope you don't have to travel for awhile.
@melbel0824 I'm sorry for the fight. that's unfair of YH to put so much pressure on you.
@kobrien827 GL, i hope you get a pay raise! enjoy the party
@kristah2 oh know, fx things settle down at work for you soon
@kimberbeep i agree--why would you buy clothes for someone if you aren't sure? socks, fine but clothing? odd
@matryoshkadoll fx CHs come tomorrow!
@darkstar42 i'm sorry to hear about your neck, i hope you are able to rest and recover quickly. what's your expected IUI date? i forget

R/R: It's so cold here. I have a nice holiday business luncheon today, so i wore a dress and leggings. But i ride the bus and it felt like 0 out this morning, so i had yoga pants over my tights, snow boots, down coat and a large scarf tied around my face. MH kissed my nose very sweetly when i left since nothing else was available.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: either the nothing present or card from MH for our first wedding anniversary. OR an ugly "I love chocolate" sweatshirt from my uncle and aunt when i was young. First off, i don't love chocolate and second did you just get that because i was chubby? who would wear that? i'm usually pretty good regarding faking thankfulness, but i couldn't on that one--i actually almost cried and my aunt said i was being too sensitive. She and i still don't get along.
@nitnat007 @kobrien827 @catlady2015Right?! If I could find some good women's joggers that'd be fabulous. H has some that look nice but feel like sweats. Not fair.
@nitnat007 Sorry for AF and getting it on the plane! That is not fun.
@melbel0824 Sorry you're struggling with the TTC sex. Seconding what others said about preseed.
@kobrien827 Good luck with the raise! Sounds like a good day.
@matryoshkadoll FX your LP is normal! Great timing though
@darkstar42 Oh no! Can you get in to for an acupuncture/massage/chiropractic appointment today?
@blackhottamales I need to get some good winter dresses if we're going to keep up with medicated cycles. All of mine are cotton and sleeveless. I need to get on your layering level!
@SkilledSailor I also wanted to wear sweatpants to work today. @nitnat007 @kobrien827 My friend swears by these "Dress Pant Yoga Pants" and I'm thinking about buying some: https://www.betabrand.com/womens/pants/dress-pant-yoga-pants-collection/high-waisted-dress-pant-yoga-leggings?r=4JqI.
@jsnakehole I'm loving soup for lunch as the weather gets colder! Hooray for positive OPK!
@nitnat007 So sorry for CD1
@melbel0824 One thing that seemed to help me last cycle was drinking tons of water and drinking a cup of green tea every day while WTO. It seems that preseed works well for a lot of people, but unfortunately my DH said it numbed him. After two times trying it, I Googled and saw a lot of other couples experienced the same thing. I hope it works for you if you do decide to try it!
@kobrien827 Hope you have fun at the party and FX for a raise!
@kristah2 Oh my gosh that is hysterical about your grandmother's gift!
@kimberbeep FX that all goes well with your month end closing today!

GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? My DH's grandmother bought me a hideous blouse with neon orange, green and yellow triangles all over it for Christmas a few years ago. It looked like something a 90 year old woman would have worn in the last 80's. Thankfully, she sent a gift receipt so I returned it and bought something I would actually wear.

@SkilledSailor I totally wear black jeggings every day. They look like normal black pants and are so comfortable! I got mine from Old Navy. Stretchy waistband and all.
@jsnakehole Yay chicken noodle soup. I got a positive OPK yesterday too. I wish I could wake DH up early to BD but he wont have that lol.
@nitnat007 Sorry about CD 1.
@melbel0824 I am in a similar boat DH and awkward sex fights. Except it’s the other way around, he can’t stay aroused cause I put too much pressure on him. Last night was so awkward but we did get BD in. Ugh TTGP is stressful
@kobrien827 FX for a raise!
@Stargazer1lily I am in the same but with trying to get my husband to eat healthy… any advice??
@kristah2 All my bad gifts have been from my grandma too lol.
@kimberbeep Clothing is definitely the worst gift… unless it’s sweatpants.
@matryoshkadoll I am also hoping my LP is a normal length. This month is my first month using OPKs so I have a better idea when O is.
@darkstar42 Sorry for your neck pain! I get neck pain all the time from my scoliosis and chiari malformation. I have a rice bag that I warm up and drape over my shoulders. It helps a little. But the best is when DH gives me a massage.
@carlady2015 Cookie dough is not the same without chocolate chips!!!

CS/Q: Not today
GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? My grandparents don’t have much money so they always give us gifts from Walmart/Shopko/Dollar general… One year, when I was in high school, I got a thin jean vest that had Noah’s ark and animals on it. It was 3 sizes too big and was hideous. Thankfully my mom was sitting next to me when I opened it and covered for me as I was trying to suppress a giggle.

CS/Q:
GTKY: What's the worst gift you've ever received? I can't think of anything specific at the moment, but I know there have been a few things that I've gotten and then donated right away. One time my aunt re-gifted a wind chime to me. Don't get me wrong I like wind chimes it was just really awkward when I opened the box and there was a little note in it reminding her who had given it to her...if you're going to re-gift be sure to fully inspect the item.
@melbel0824 replying from yesterday, but congrats on successfully peeing in a wrapper...it's the little things. lol others have recommended pre-seed, I've not used it personally but it seems to be favored around these parts.
@eleven_ also replying from yesterday re: opks. my advice use them a couple of times a day and maybe start a little earlier in your cycle so you can really see the progression of the line. This will give you a chance to get the hang of using them and will help you to really see the change in the line. FWIW, my first cycle using them I started on CD9 and got a surprise positive opk. I may try some different times too depending on your schedule/flexibility
@SkilledSailor ugh sorry to hear you're still dealing with the side effects Clomid is one of those drugs with a long half life so it may take a while for them to subside.
@nitnat007 CD1 is the worst. sorry you find yourself here again. Friday will be here soon.

@melbel0824 As others have suggested, give preseed a go. It is very watery though. But does the trick. What an odd gift, passport holders.
@kobrien827 The cramps were not pleasant at all. I was extremely cranky when I got off the plane. FX for the raise and enjoy the party.
@kimberbeep Agreed, stay away from buying clothes for someone unless you know exactly what you are doing, or give a gift receipt and expect it to be exchanged.
@matryoshkadoll GL for CH's tomorrow.
@darkstar42 Sorry about your neck. Hope it gets better soon.
@catlady2015 NEED the chips! Me too.
@blackhottamales Home for along while thankfully. Awww I can just picture that. Super cute! Your aunt sounds like a treat. Ugh.... But how can you not like chocolate!!

@nitnat007 I'm right there with ya girl. How'd we get to 6&7 months? I've been having the sads recently.
@melbel0824 We've been using preseed. Hubby says he likes it more than the reg stuff we used to use lol. Oh and is your birthday 08/24? That's mine!
Thanks for the suggestion of pre-seed. I’ll have to check that out.
I’ve actually heard good things about the betabrand yoga work pants. I don’t own any, but friends do and love them. I have a pair of ponte knit pants I got at BJ’s (of all places) and they’re basically like wearing sweatpants to work because of the elastic waistband.
@kobrien827 Have so much fun tonight! I love parties, although having one on a Wednesday is a little odd.
@stargazer1lily Ugh, brothers can be so dense sometimes. Mine would totally have done something like that growing up too.
@kristah2 I’m dying at your grandmother’s craftiness.
@kimberpeep Thanks for the review of pre-seed lol. Maybe a little awkward, but I appreciate it.
@matryoshkadoll Yeah, zombies aren’t really romantic.
@catlady2015 what’s the point of cookie dough without chocolate chips?
@blackhottamales You sound like me in the winter. I don’t want any part of my body coming in contact with the frigid air.
@southernlady07 Interesting tip about the green tea. I think I have some at home so I’ll give that a shot.
@LJMoon6 Great job on getting busy last night and the positive OPK! That vest sounds awful/awesomely hilarious.
@Avrilmai Re-gifting is the worst. Like if you’re going to do it, at least make sure you remove any incriminating evidence.
@josie12367 I’m sorry for all your down feelings. I get how hard this whole thing can be at times.
@SkilledSailor Yay for booking some new clients! (I'm sorry about the bloat. Did you end up finding something that fits and is comfortable for your meeting?)
@jsnakehole I've been known to wake up my hubby for that reason too. I know you are happy to finally get the positive opk!
@nitnat007 Sorry for CD1, friend. Glad you are back from the work trip. We missed you too!
@melbel0824 I'm sorry! I definitely recommend lube, especially to make it more enjoyable for you. We've enjoyed pre-seed. I also found Good Clean Love: Natural Lubricant (on amazon and in Target).
@kobrien827 How was your company Christmas party? Was it a very formal event?
@Stargazer1lily Good for you for encouraging healthy habits!
@kristah2 I'm sorry about work stress! Also, your story about your grandma's gift giving made me laugh.
@kimberbeep I hope you were able to get everything done that you needed to for work! It's a pain when someone does not do their part when your work depends upon it.
@matryoshkadoll Yay for O! FX that your LP is not too short.
@darkstar42 So sorry to hear about your neck. Do you think it is from sleeping on it in a funny way? Or just from being tense at work or from some type of exercise?
@catlady2015 Agreed! Chocolate chips are a very important part of cookies/cookie dough.
@blackhottamales How did the business luncheon go? It's always fun to dress up.
@southernlady07 Welcome! Thank goodness for gift receipts, right?! That sweater sounded very special.
@LJMoon6 Yay for the positive OPK and getting in some timing.
@Avrilmai So sorry about your headache! I hope you get some relief.
@josie12367 Missed you. Glad you are back with us.
Whew! That was quite the tag party.
@SkilledSailor, I temped on clomid, my temps were high for longer than expected, and I thought I was bot going to get CH, but both cycles FF was able to show when I ovulated. Hope you start feeling better soon from the side effects.
@skilledsailor So sorry for all the side effects you've been having. Have they decided what they're going to switch you to next cycle if need be? Hopefully the correct ovary is ovulating for you. Good luck on your ultrasound today!
@jsnakehole Clomid made me super bloated and tender. I almost felt like I had the flu like aches everywhere. FX for this to be the only time you'll have to take it!
@nitnat007 So sorry about CD1. I was so hopeful for you last cycle! ((hugs)) Eat and drink all the things...
@melbel0824 I also used Preseed, and it was okay. I'm not a lube fan myself, but it got the job done. FX that HIO gets easier. I struggle with it myself.
@kobrien827 FX that you got that pay raise, and had a blast at your xmas party!
@Stargazer1lily Trying to get parents to do anything is a struggle. I think most just have a hard time taking advice from their kids...I get it, but then again, I do wish they would listen
@Kristah2 Hope your work doesn't get to crazy once your transferred. My mother sounds like the same kind of gift giver that your grandmother is...haha...I try to roll with it, but some of the stuff she gets us is soooo random!
@kimberbeep So the nip soreness could be due to getting close to ovulating? Are you doing OPKs?
@matryoshkadoll FX for those CHs to appear and soon!
@darkstar42 So sorry about your neck! That was me last week. I think staying up for hours on end doing my final project for school really did a number on my tension issues in my neck. Does acupuncture help with it? Maybe you can go in for a session?
@catlady2015 Oh cookie dough! YUM. I need some of that in my life. Do you make a homemade egg free kind? I need one I can stock pile in my freezer and eat raw.
@blackhottamales I lol'd at the thought of your DH kissing your nose...it's sweet though. Oh your aunt makes me mad. I hate when people are like that.
@Southernlady07 Sorry about the heavy load at work...Hopefully your load isn't too heavy over the holidays
@dukestar5 Oh geez! That sucks about the grocery store! How are things going with the clomid? Any side effects?
@LJMoon6 YES for a positive OPK! Once you know what you're looking for it makes OPKs a lot less stressful!
@Avrilmai I had headaches on clomid too ((Hugs)) Hope it goes away for you soon!
@dukestar5 Thank you friend! No...shopping fail. Did you have to go back?
@josie12367 Thank you! How have you been? Have been thinking of you.
@melbel0824 another vote for PreSeed!
@mrs_drc_rn and @dukestar5 I've got both preseed and
