R/R: I have to give a guest lecture this morning at a University that’s about 45-50 minutes away but because it’s across two bridges and in rush hour the commute could be anywhere from 45 minutes to 2+ hours which means I am up at 4:30 and hoping to leave by 6/6:30 because the class starts at 8:30. Who does that?! No one can learn that early in the morning! My DH went to the university back in the day and they had the same schedule they do now - I feel like starting classes any earlier than 9 is cruel. My brain does not start firing off all cylinders that early so my presentation should be interesting!
C/S: Nothing to see - I am toying with the idea of not temping this cycle since it doesn’t actually seem to be making much of a difference and I have a pretty good idea when I O during my cycle at this point. I would still use OPKs to confirm but the idea of not waking up in the middle of the night to temp is appealing. But not having the data and the control that comes with it might freak me out too much to not. I’m going to not temp during AF and then see how it goes. I also have some work travel this month and last months holiday travel messed with my temps so it could be a mess of a chart again which I don’t love.
GTKY: So much travel - I haven’t been off our continent and I have so many destinations I hope to see during my lifetime. I have a work trip next month that will check off 3 or 4 big ones (Vienna, London, Paris and possibly somewhere in Scotland as a quick day trip - Edinburgh maybe) but that will only scratch the surface! I’d also really like to learn to ballroom dance - I was a competitive dancer as a child/teen and have always wanted to learn the ballroom dances. Now to convince DH....
@elothair Good luck on your lecture! Is it on anything interesting? Maybe not temping would give you a little bit of a breather? I definitely understand wanting to be in control though. Keep us updated! Again, I'm so jealous of your work trip!! All of the places you're going to visit are definitely on my bucket list!

I have a couple friends in OT and it seems like it would be almost fun just watching how people progress and how much you're able to help them!
@elothair So sorry you are back here Are you going
to see if you can get an early referral or are you just going to wait? I agree
with you so much about classes earlier than 9 being way too early. My brain just can’t
process information at that hour. Good luck though! That’s so cool

@eleven_ - I saw the Northern Lights on a fluke once while driving in northern Minnesota at night. It was amazing, though it only lasted a minute or less. It was before the age of always having a cell phone with camera/video so I have no proof. I'd love to see them again when I have a nice camera at the ready!!
@elothair hope your lecture goes well! Waking up at 4:30 sounds like hell though. thank you @meladams10. I'm excited to start, everyone I know in OT loves it so I'm eager to get out there @eleven_ I'm done with classes, fieldwork is two 8 week placements and then I graduate in May. I like your Iceland idea, all the pictures I've seen from there are absolutely gorgeous.

C/S: TMI alert - brown discharge with CM around CD 9 / CD 10.. any idea why?
GTKY: What’s on your bucket list? More travel.. specifically girl trip to NYC for thanksgiving weekend / black Friday. and to spend an anniversary in Turks and Caicos (it's where we got married, even our marriage certificate is from there but we never got to see it because we were on a cruise). Career wise.. start a business with H in about 5 years
@eleven_ - Nope, I live near Chicago. But I went to college in the UP of Michigan and my dad lives in the very northwest corner of MN - I was driving to visit him in Oct/Nov I think. I have no idea how often they happen up there. I think I was just really lucky!! I hope you get lucky when you visit Iceland!!
@elothair - i used to teach a 7:30 am class on FRIDAY. It was like a 2 hour walk of shame every week for those kids. Sorry it wasn't your month, and i fully agree not temping - if it doesn't help, why stress? @kiwi2628 - Chile is on my bucket list too! @meladams10 - NYC during Christmas is so beautiful, hope you can experience it!! @coco2787 - fieldwork sounds like it would be the fun part! @Stargazer1lily - same here, just a few yucky gray snow mountains left right now @eleven_ - Iceland is amazing! We went during the spring, so no northern lights for us, but we want to go back, as flights there are super reasonable!

@kristah2 I wouldn't test either if I were you. That would just be so frustrating! I can't give much help on the discharge situation. I've had that before though, a bit after AF ended and during ovulation (I think) after HIO. Why do our bodies do the things they do?!? @jengibre_zorro I have also been limiting my caffeine to 1x a day, it's terrible! I don't think I've ever had pho!

I want to see the real deal above my head. The pictures and time lapse we made of what we had seen turned out really good but I am addicted now. I also really want to go to Yellowstone.
@eleven_ there were so many posts I scrolled to the bottom to reply and started reading through. I think we might be the same person. Lol FX we get to be on a future bmb together! Iceland would be so cool. When you go, I'll need a full report and lots of pictures!
@chopchop25 I just can't handle the disappointment of getting a + and know its wasted because there's nothing I can do about it. Hopefully timing will work out in my favor and my body is just on it's way to working! Also - tornado chasing?! You're nuts. I watched the movie Twister when I was a kid and I seriously STILL have nightmares about it.
@Kristah2 So I've been getting random brown CM like that every once in a while since AF as well but no positive OPK yet. I think it is just leftover blood from AF (which ended almost a week ago). I'm at CD12 now and I had the brown CM yesterday but a negative OPK and definitely no signs of ovulation. @jengibre_zorro I'm so jealous! I love pho but I never get to have it unless my in-laws take me out to lunch.

DH is out of town for the night so I am planning to watch all the movies he hates and eat all the food he hates without having to hear him complain about it.
GTKY: What’s on your bucket list? I really want to go to Europe. I've been to Mexico a couple times and I got to spend a couple weeks in Indonesia, but that's it for traveling. I also would love to see more of Singapore. I got to spend less than 24 hours there, but most of that time was spent sleeping or traveling. I also really want to see the Grand Canyon ever since watching that episode of Parks & Rec when Andy and April drive there.
@galactickates Yes, FX we are both in October!! P.S. I tried the nails again and this time they are sticking much better and I love them! @chopchop25 Hell yes to tornado chasing!

Haha, of course the day I'm super busy everyone is on! Sorry if I miss anyone!
@meladams10 It was on what my organization does which is assist individuals with disabilities and their families who want to do self-directed supports. It went well but presentations are the worst! Good luck with yours! I also was't expecting to see your name on the WTO board so was wondering what happened, lol - almost Friday! @eleven_ I'm really on the fence with whether or not I'll try and get an early referral mostly because the next two months I'm travelling for work almost as much as I'm home and scheduling something would be a nightmare. And then in March we are away half the month for vacation. But I may try and get in to see my family doctor in the next few weeks and at least see what she says. I also know she's going to lecture me about my weight as I've gained weight since I saw her last (I was finally down to a healthy weight after losing over 100lbs when I last saw her) and I'm not ready to hear it this soon after the holidays! Iceland would be amazing and such a great anniversary trip! When is your anniversary fall - a good time to visit there? @coco2787 It wasn't ideal but I figure maybe it's good baby prep on the off chance I get pregnant? I was thisclose to going into OT when I was in school - are you enjoying it? @kristah2 I hope DH gets home in time for your FW - I am travelling during the beginning of mine this month and assuming my cycle doesn't go wonky I will likely miss next months entirely being away - it's so frustrating! What kind of business are you guys hoping to start? @jengibre_zorro 7:30 on a Friday seems cruel for a class time! I'm also down to one cup of coffee per day and trying to work into one cup every other day - it sucks! @flyingmombula It was on what my organization does which is assist individuals with disabilities and their families who want to do self-directed supports - and it was for a group of students who are working towards becoming behaviour consultants working with individuals with autism. I question the animal kingdom's choices sometimes - who wants to nest at this time of year?! @chopchop25 I am also a quick speaker when I present, definitely something I need to work on. @galactickates The whole buying/selling/moving process sucks! I keep saying we should sell and move somewhere but then I think about the amount of work involved and shut it down. @acciocoffee Hooray for a snow day! Also a night alone sounds amazing! @nmbrcrnchr1 Woohoo for sleep! @leafyarch Boo for CD1 - at least we can be cycle buddies this time and commiserate over stupid AF.
@elothair the worst part for us was all the showings. Having to get the house perfect in the morning before we left work. We have two dogs too and having to reschedule or let them see the house while the dogs were there was beyond stressful for me. Our house was on the market for 125 days! And we had multiple showings a week. I never ever want to go through that again.
@elothair yes, I'm really enjoying OT, my undergrad degree is in psychology so there's some overlap. I'm doing the associates degree, so I'll be an Occupational Therapy Assistant (basically the same job except I can't do evaluations or write treatment plans).

@eleven_ YGPM to answer your question! @elothair Oof, I'm sorry about AF. Treat yourself nicely tonight! Agree that it might be nice to take a break from temping. I'm a pretty controlling person and I've found it really helpful to take breaks from temping every couple months. I'm currently on a break from it and it's so freeing! @kristah2 could it be ovulation spotting? Some people get that every once in a while. @jengibre_zorro Just saying, and it's none of my business, but I really don't think you need to limit your coffee intake! I don't think there's any harm in 2 or so cups a day. Around FW it may dry up your CM a little but I think that's only if you drink it excessively. Of course everyone is different, and I know sometimes it feels good to just try cutting something out in case it helps. Sorry to everyone else...on mobile today so love tits all around!

A girl I know posted about how her husband only wants 3 kids and that she wants more than that. I don't know why I did it but, I literally read through all the comments (there were like 70!) about how many kids all these people have and how many they want. It was like I knew it would upset me, but I just couldn't stop. And then I cried myself to sleep. I know it shouldn't have made me feel so bad, but it just did. And then I cried again today for no reason really. It's just one of those weeks for me I guess.

Now I am obsessed with planning a trip dedicated around really seeing them.

I’ve had brown spotting around O before, not every month though. @flyingmombula a bald eagle nesting party? So many questions...I’ve never heard of such a thing.

@eleven_ - I saw the Northern Lights on a fluke once while driving in northern Minnesota at night. It was amazing, though it only lasted a minute or less. It was before the age of always having a cell phone with camera/video so I have no proof. I'd love to see them again when I have a nice camera at the ready!!
thank you @meladams10. I'm excited to start, everyone I know in OT loves it so I'm eager to get out there
@eleven_ I'm done with classes, fieldwork is two 8 week placements and then I graduate in May. I like your Iceland idea, all the pictures I've seen from there are absolutely gorgeous.

@meladams10 I also want to see NYC for Christmas !
@coco2787 I LOVE Italy! OT is pretty cool - I debated going to school for it after undergrad. H's OT's really made a huge difference after his life-changing injury.
@eleven_ I would also love to see the Northern Lights!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: PNV's / charting
R/R: Pretty sure I'm gearing up for O / may be happening but I refuse to take OPK as H is still away and if I've completely missed FW I'm going to be so sad. I think when he gets home we'll start HIO and maybe I'll test later.
C/S: TMI alert - brown discharge with CM around CD 9 / CD 10.. any idea why?
GTKY: What’s on your bucket list?
More travel.. specifically girl trip to NYC for thanksgiving weekend / black Friday. and to spend an anniversary in Turks and Caicos (it's where we got married, even our marriage certificate is from there but we never got to see it because we were on a cruise).
Career wise.. start a business with H in about 5 years
@kiwi2628 - Chile is on my bucket list too!
@meladams10 - NYC during Christmas is so beautiful, hope you can experience it!!
@coco2787 - fieldwork sounds like it would be the fun part!
@Stargazer1lily - same here, just a few yucky gray snow mountains left right now
@eleven_ - Iceland is amazing! We went during the spring, so no northern lights for us, but we want to go back, as flights there are super reasonable!
Month/Cycle: 3/4
CD: 2 (i think?)
WAYDTGKU: All the previous things, and now adding preseed and limiting to one cup of coffee/day
R/R: I feel like all i ever do is rant. So something positive is, i get to eat pho tonight, and that is my whole reason for making it through today.
C/S: If AF started yesterday afternoon, that makes this day two, right?
GTKY: What’s on your bucket list? I agree with all the travel (Spain and Scotland are my next goals) but i want to add riding on a jet ski. I've never done it, and i think i should.
@kristah2 what kind of business do you want to start?

@jengibre_zorro I have also been limiting my caffeine to 1x a day, it's terrible! I don't think I've ever had pho!
@meladams10 a Christmas train ride to nyc sounds super romantic!
@jengibre_zorro pho sounds delicious, & yes to your cd q!
Month/Cycle: 1/1

WAYDTGKU: just started Bbt
R/R: DH and I were going to go to this bald eagle nesting watch party thing with food trucks but the high for Saturday is 23. Yick.
C/S: Nada
GTKY: What’s on your bucket list? I’d like to publish a book one day. As far as travel, I’ve always wanted to see Europe. Also never been on a cruise.
@kiwi2628 good luck on Monday!
@meladams10 good luck on your presentation!
@kristah2 Hope you do not miss the window...you've got much more willpower than I would not to take the OPK - way to stay strong!
kimberbeep ohhhh I definitely want to see the Northern Lights, that sounds amazing!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK
R/R: I spoke WAY too fast during my presentation yesterday but my former boss said it went well otherwise, so I am riding in on good waves today. Also starting Spanish classes tonight - something I've always wanted to learn, so pushing myself one step forward and out of the comfort zone, which is exciting. And counting down for AF to end today or tomorrow so we can start really cycle stalking the next two weeks! AND IT'S THURSDAYYYYY wohoo!
C/S: none
GTKY: What’s on your bucket list? Skydiving, tornado chasing, traveling to a few countries in Africa, going back to Asia, shark cage diving (without bait) and now adding the Northern Lights!
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: HIO, opks, pnv, charting
R/R: Rant=the never ending things that come with selling and buying a house
Rave - it's Thursday, which is almost Friday!
C/S:
GTKY: What’s on your bucket list?
Seeing the full color northern lights. We saw them in Idaho this year but they looked like a neon greenish grey to the naked eye. I want to see the real deal above my head. The pictures and time lapse we made of what we had seen turned out really good but I am addicted now. I also really want to go to Yellowstone.
Also - tornado chasing?! You're nuts. I watched the movie Twister when I was a kid and I seriously STILL have nightmares about it.
@jengibre_zorro I'm so jealous! I love pho but I never get to have it unless my in-laws take me out to lunch.
Month/Cycle: 7/5 (1 loss 1 benched)
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: OPKs & CM tracking
R/R: We have some crazy weather here today and it started out raining this morning and now it everything is starting to get icy. The next step is snow apparently. I went into work this morning and my boss sent me home because of the weather, so now I am working from home which is always great. DH is out of town for the night so I am planning to watch all the movies he hates and eat all the food he hates without having to hear him complain about it.
GTKY: What’s on your bucket list? I really want to go to Europe. I've been to Mexico a couple times and I got to spend a couple weeks in Indonesia, but that's it for traveling. I also would love to see more of Singapore. I got to spend less than 24 hours there, but most of that time was spent sleeping or traveling. I also really want to see the Grand Canyon ever since watching that episode of Parks & Rec when Andy and April drive there.
@chopchop25 Hell yes to tornado chasing! I'm so fascinated by them. And I speak waaay too fast in presentations too. I have to remind myself over and over to slow down.
@jengibre_zorro I love pho! Are you making it or going out?

R/R: it is supposed to be freezing rain during my commute home, I want to leave right now to avoid it...Rave - I slept more than 4 hours last night! Lol
C/S: nope
GTKY: What’s on your bucket list? I would love to backpack through Europe. I should’ve done it when I was in college bc now I feel like I’ll never do it.
CD: 1
WAYDTKU: charting all the stuff, preseed, PNVs + just added DHA and going to try Pregnitude this cycle
R/R: I’m late to the game today because I already did a TWW post this morning but AF showed so I’m doing a CD1 post here to keep myself accountable and stop obsessing. Will try and get around to tags later. Much love.
Finally TTC#1 as of 11/2017!
Thryoidectomy 2007, PCOS, disordered proliferative endometrium.
@eleven_ - my husband is bringing it home (from a town 20 minutes away!) I should learn to make it, but the broth is tricky!
@meladams10 It was on what my organization does which is assist individuals with disabilities and their families who want to do self-directed supports. It went well but presentations are the worst! Good luck with yours! I also was't expecting to see your name on the WTO board so was wondering what happened, lol - almost Friday!
@eleven_ I'm really on the fence with whether or not I'll try and get an early referral mostly because the next two months I'm travelling for work almost as much as I'm home and scheduling something would be a nightmare. And then in March we are away half the month for vacation. But I may try and get in to see my family doctor in the next few weeks and at least see what she says. I also know she's going to lecture me about my weight as I've gained weight since I saw her last (I was finally down to a healthy weight after losing over 100lbs when I last saw her) and I'm not ready to hear it this soon after the holidays! Iceland would be amazing and such a great anniversary trip! When is your anniversary fall - a good time to visit there?
@coco2787 It wasn't ideal but I figure maybe it's good baby prep on the off chance I get pregnant? I was thisclose to going into OT when I was in school - are you enjoying it?
@kristah2 I hope DH gets home in time for your FW - I am travelling during the beginning of mine this month and assuming my cycle doesn't go wonky I will likely miss next months entirely being away - it's so frustrating! What kind of business are you guys hoping to start?
@jengibre_zorro 7:30 on a Friday seems cruel for a class time! I'm also down to one cup of coffee per day and trying to work into one cup every other day - it sucks!
@flyingmombula It was on what my organization does which is assist individuals with disabilities and their families who want to do self-directed supports - and it was for a group of students who are working towards becoming behaviour consultants working with individuals with autism. I question the animal kingdom's choices sometimes - who wants to nest at this time of year?!
@chopchop25 I am also a quick speaker when I present, definitely something I need to work on.
@galactickates The whole buying/selling/moving process sucks! I keep saying we should sell and move somewhere but then I think about the amount of work involved and shut it down.
@acciocoffee Hooray for a snow day! Also a night alone sounds amazing!
@nmbrcrnchr1 Woohoo for sleep!
@leafyarch Boo for CD1 - at least we can be cycle buddies this time and commiserate over stupid AF.

@elothair we hope to open a law firm when he’s ready to go out on his own and have my run the business side of it!
Finally TTC#1 as of 11/2017!

@elothair Oof, I'm sorry about AF. Treat yourself nicely tonight! Agree that it might be nice to take a break from temping. I'm a pretty controlling person and I've found it really helpful to take breaks from temping every couple months. I'm currently on a break from it and it's so freeing!
@kristah2 could it be ovulation spotting? Some people get that every once in a while.
@jengibre_zorro Just saying, and it's none of my business, but I really don't think you need to limit your coffee intake! I don't think there's any harm in 2 or so cups a day. Around FW it may dry up your CM a little but I think that's only if you drink it excessively. Of course everyone is different, and I know sometimes it feels good to just try cutting something out in case it helps.
Sorry to everyone else...on mobile today so love tits all around!

R/R: Potential TW*** Ugh. I feel like I could write a novel about my frustrations right now. Sometimes I wonder if I should delete instagram. I had a long and stressful day at work and was kind of emotion from it yesterday. Well, I got home late and decided to veg out and scroll through Instagram. Bad idea. A girl I know posted about how her husband only wants 3 kids and that she wants more than that. I don't know why I did it but, I literally read through all the comments (there were like 70!) about how many kids all these people have and how many they want. It was like I knew it would upset me, but I just couldn't stop. And then I cried myself to sleep. I know it shouldn't have made me feel so bad, but it just did. And then I cried again today for no reason really. It's just one of those weeks for me I guess.
C/S:
GTKY: What’s on your bucket list? Mine is also seeing the northern lights @galactickates and @eleven_! We actually saw them for a hot minute when we visited Norway, but I was dumb and thought we needed to drive to find a better spot, and then we lost them. Now I am obsessed with planning a trip dedicated around really seeing them.
I want to respond to the other posts from today, but my computer is acting crazy, so I'm sorry to just post my rant and not be very support today.
@elothair sorry for CD1 and for an early and long commute
@leafyarch I’m so sorry you are here. I’ve been stalking you in TWW bc I feel like we had a lot of the same SS and I was really hoping this was your cycle.
@meladams10 NYC at Christmas sounds amazing, I went for thanksgiving a few years ago for the Macy’s parade and it was so much fun!
@eleven_ I agree about January, although I’d be ok skipping February too, bring on spring!
@kristah2 i agree with @offtoneverland.. I’ve had brown spotting around O before, not every month though.
@flyingmombula a bald eagle nesting party? So many questions...I’ve never heard of such a thing. But I love food trucks lol
@chopchop25 are you just taking classes at a college? I’ve always wanted to learn a second language, I should put that on my bucket list
@acciocoffee your night sounds wonderful. I love doing the same when DH is gone
