Re: TWW WED 2/14
Cycle Day/DPO: 20/8
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 15-16
Testing: I caved and did this morning knowing full well that nothing would show. MH was asking about testing dates the other morning and somehow thought I said that today was the test date. He then proceeded to tell me that he was sad when I said it wasn't. So hopefully I can hold out until at least Monday to test again.
R/R: Rant: I had to tell MH last night that him asking about testing was not making the TWW any easier. I know he just wants to know but it's hard enough with everything going through my head. Rave: I was craving sour patch kids yesterday and my coworker ran out to the store so I asked her to grab me a package. They didn't have the regular ones so she grabbed me a Valentines day bag that's filled with a ton of mini bags. I now have Sour Patch Kids for days!!
CS/Q:
GTKY: Tell me about your worst Valentine's Day ever.... I don't have a bad one that I can think of. A few years ago I told MH that we didn't have to get anything for each other and he took it literally and didn't even get a card. I was upset because I meant no gifts but thought I'd still get a card. He proceeded to run out and get a card and candy and said sorry lol.

Month/Cycle: 1/1
Cycle Day/DPO: 17/ maybe 2-3? Not 100% positive.
Timing: 3x in estimated window with CM
Typical LP length: Not sure.
Testing: I plan to on the 24th. That would be 2 days before my expected period. My periods have been pretty regular due to metformin (that's what my Dr. says).
R/R: Nausea. I am so nauseous today, I pray I am not getting sick. The flu is rampant in this school and I have been trying so hard to avoid it.
CS/Q: Anybody else get watery/eggwhite cm for like a full week??? It seems much more pronounced than any other month I have ever had this month.
GTKY: Tell me about your worst Valentine's Day ever.... I cannot stand Valentine's Day. Nothing bad happened, I just don't like it. My husband and I don't really do it. It seems that eating out has lost its appeal because so many people eat out all the time these days. So, we just kind of hang out
TTC#2: 2/2018; BFP: 2/26/18; MC 4/4/18.
TTC#2: 4/2018; BFP: 5/12/18; EDD: 1/19/19 (boy)

R/R: Rant: going through hundreds of documents at work today. Rave. DH surprised me with chocolate covered strawberries this morning with my coffee.
CS/Q: temps are still up
GTKY: Tell me about your worst Valentine's Day ever.... I'm going with my worst as an adult because as a child I had a number of bad ones TW in spoiler
Cycle Day/DPO:27/9
Timing: Pretty good
Typical LP length: 15-17 days
Testing: Not til Monday but not sure even if it was magically to be positive that it would even register on that day. My plan of having only one test in the house is about to unravel and I am going to cave and buy a multi pack from the supermarket.
R/R: The sun is out and I walked to work this morning so feeling super virtuous, not even letting my stuffy nose get in the way of my positive thinking. Also booked a car for our holiday on the 26th, and going to book at least one thing to do in Queenstown today so getting pretty excited.
CS/Q: Temps still up which is encouraging
GTKY: Tell me about your worst Valentine's Day ever.... Eek I really don't do it so I have a pretty shaky memory of any previous valentines days. Possibly when I was an awkward teenager and I would have killed for a Valentine but *shrugs*
Cycle Day/DPO: 29/13
Timing: -3, -2, +1
Typical LP length: Don't know
Testing: See rant below
R/R: Rant: I'm having a really tough TTC week. *TW Loss in Spoiler*
CS/Q:
GTKY: Tell me about your worst Valentine's Day ever....
In college I flew home to visit my boyfriend. We had been together almost a year and he was my high school sweetheart. Then he proceeded to break up with me. Turns out he knew he was going to break up with me before I booked a $350 flight home to see him. He wanted to do it in person, but that was a very expensive break up and a really crappy Valentine's Day.
Cycle Day/DPO: 18/2
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: varies with treatment
Testing: wfaf
R/R: I think MH procrastinated on V day again. Itsok really because he’s a great husband but sometimes I secretly wish some flowers would arrive at work. He’s a very private romantic though and I’ve come to respect him for it.
CS/Q: No
GTKY: Tell me about your worst Valentine's Day ever....
Years ago, a guy I was dating went skiing with some friends that he went to HS with. He claimed he didn’t come home for V day or our 2 year anni (within a day of each other) because they were snowed in and couldn’t leave the mountain. I found out later it was because he was cheating on me. He came home and gave me a necklace which he later asked to give back when I broke up with him.

@brookepdavis I'm so sorry about your week, a nice relaxing weekend of nothing sounds just the ticket.
@tessiesmom26 YH is like the complete opposite of mine. He wants me to wait as long as possible to test and I can't stand it! I always have to hide my early tests from him...but I'm pretty sure he discovered my hiding spot.
@oaklandava Yes, I get EWCM for 5-7 days (or more) each cycle. It gets a little annoying as it feels so messy sometimes.
@lokibear89 Good for you for walking to work! Glad you're feeling better today; hope you continue to heal.

Testing: I was just looking up the earliest some people found out. I need to wait till next week I think. Except that the little stick ones are so cheap, it's no big deal.... right???
R/R: No rant today. Rave: My boss's new kitten is the best little thing ever, and I loves it. And I take care of it for them, so it's almost mine!
CS/Q:
GTKY: Tell me about your worst Valentine's Day ever....
Ummmm... I don't know that I've had a bad one. One year my husband got me a pillow as a gift, which was interesting...
Cycle Day/DPO: 34
Timing: Great
Typical LP length: 14-15
Testing: Tuesday
R/R: I went down a googling rabbit hole yesterday, and then was just so bummed out, I didn't post my own update. DH was also very frustrating yesterday, but now all is well again in that department. So here is yesterday's post (for me it's yesterday's update already). I'm having some pretty bad cramping, and back pains. I'm not sure if they're normal though because...I'm not used to ovulating. I'm sure they are. I'm just not used to it. One website said that cramping this early is statistically a sign of not being pregnant....Ugh. Must stay off Google!
CS/Q:
GTKY: I had the biggest crush on a drummer in marching band (total geek here), and decided to tell him on Valentines Day. Well I dressed up, did my hair and makeup. I looked great considering most days I didn't even try. Well, he dressed up nice that day too. He even complimented me on my appearance. We had flirted back and fourth so I took this as a promising sign, but right as I was about to talk to him after school, I saw him sitting with a cheerleader. Turns out he was asking her to prom, and telling her that he had the biggest crush on her. I was bummed out to say the least. Whomp Whomp! Oh the days of high school....
