WAYDTGKU: might be faster to list what we aren't doing...
R/R: rant: maintaining optimism. Rave: holy guacamole batman! I got a peak opk with my cbad yesterday! First one ever! Looks like I might've missed true pos on my cheapies though. They were getting darker but then this AM was lighter again. Will keep em up for a few days to make sure. Also slight temp bump this AM. Trying not to get too exicted at the possibility of O and gonna keep getting naked eod.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What would be your spirit animal? Hmm... I'll have to think about that one.
@meladams10 I hope you get good SA results. When should you get results?

@lurvleybunchococonuts I agree...the list of what we're not doing is more applicable for WTO haha. Fx for an O this cycle! My DH had to drop them off at the lab and they contact my doctor.. so I'm hoping by next week! @meri-mac Thank you! A bear is a good spirit animal! Too bad we can't hibernate all winter! (:
R/R: Had a few mini melt downs today. Not the best start to the week sitting in my OBGYNs office surrounded by PG ladies. And struggling to get an appointment this century for the last test we need. But we had a gorgeous blue sky fresh snow day. It looked pretty from my couch-office at least.
CS/Q: Nothing to see
GTKY: What would be your spirit animal? Racoon. Because that’s what DH calls me (but in German - Waschbaer)
@lurvleybunchococonuts way to go getting a positive! That’s awesome! Fx for a nice regular cycle for you!
@meri-Mac hibernation sounds pretty good at the moment!

@emmasemm *hugs* thats the worst. Darned KU ladies. I'm instantly envious too. I hope the scheduling stuff is going better as well as the legal crap @meri-mac glad AF is lessening. Hibernation spunds glorious!

@meladams10 Fx for your SA! I hope it's normal. @meri-mac I really like the days in between AF and before the FW. I let loose a little more unlike the TWW.. I drink and relax and generally am cheerful. Enjoy this time! @lurvleybunchococonuts Glad to see that you have some indication about O! That is exciting. Small victories during this time mean so much! I remember the last time when I had a big fat positive OPK, I was so super excited... almost as if I had a BFP HPT. Then, I realized, it was just an OPK and had to calm down. But congratulations on finding out something about your body! The more information you have, the better!!
R/R: I loved reading something on here where people said something along the lines of being super annoyed at people who said "just relax and it will happen." I feel that way a lot. I haven't gotten where I am in life by "just relaxing." It probably won't happen now, either. So FU to those people
GTKY: What would be your spirit animal? A camel. I go for hours without drinking water (obviously not good for help in the FW but I am convinced my body is used to it by now), and I'm tall and dark skinned. Ha
WAYDTGKU: still benched for a month, but thought I would join back in the dailies since I am finally able to stop BCP and am temping. Otherwise, PNV and practicing.
R/R: I am so excited to fo finally feel like we are heading in any direction with TTC again. I am overly optimistic.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What would be your spirit animal? A cat, I am generally antisocial unless the mood strikes me, and I like napping in that sun.
@meladams10 , FX for good results for your husband's SA. How long should it take to get the results? @lurvleybunchococonuts, that's great about the positive OPK!
@blumoon18 I know what you mean! I have a cup of full caff coffee two days in a row! It is such a treat. I usually use 1/2 & 1/4 caff. I also know what you mean with the "Relax" people. One of my friends was talking about beginning her TTC journey in the next year or so. I told her gently that it may take a while, but I am here for any support she needs. I was so deceived about how easy it was because everyone was saying to me "Oh it will happen in no time!" and "You are young. Don't worry!" Not only is that untrue, it makes you feel like something is wrong with you when it doesn't happen in the first few months! I will never tell anyone to relax during this process. Sure you need to blow off steam and try not to get too wrapped up in CM and charting, but saying it will be easy just makes it that much harder!
@emmasemm I'm so sorry for your bad start to the week. I swear at the OBs office it would be nice to have a pregnant waiting room and a not pregnant waiting room. I had the same exact thing happen to me a couple weeks ago @Stargazer1lily I love otters! They are so cute! @blumoon18 Thank you! There's nothing worse than those "just relax and it will happen" people. SO ANNOYING. @holly321 Thank you! The lab said a few days, so I'm hoping early next week if not sooner. Then I have my HSG test in March... which is super scary!
