R/R: Sad about CD1, but already feeling excited about a new cycle. I'm just happy AF finally made her appearance. I decided to restart Game of Thrones today while I fold mountains of laundry. Exciting Saturday for me. Is anyone else having problems with The Bump app? The community link keeps saying that it can't load community.

R/R: My race is it's Saturday and H is home and we're just hanging out. Love it.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Who is your favorite character in Game of Thrones?
Im obsessed with GoT so I will go with the person I'd be most devastated if they die. I think it's Tyrion. I love him a lot.
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: temping this month just hoping to see if I ovulate. Technically still benched.
R/R: rant, not feeling the greatest, headache and stuff rave, TW, I was reading my notes from my oncologist, and I found when my HCG level became negative, and it was a bit earlier than I think my OBgyn and I were thinking, so i will feel less guilty when I debench myself sooner than I am supposed to.
CS/Q: so my normal pre-o temps are significantly below 97.0. my temps last week were around 98.0 , but I was still on BCP, or just stopped. They dropped and AF arrived. Today, my temp was 98.1 (it was 97.1 yesterday) is that possibly from the BCP still?
GTKY: Who is your favorite character in Game of Thrones? That's a tough one, I feel like it changes all the time. And are we talking books or show? My most consistent favorite in the show is Tyrion. I really like Davos too.
@eleven_ the app is working fine for me. I too am spending my Saturday doing fun things like laundry. Sorry for CD1.
@Whitmore1027, I have no idea how many cycles to say. I was/am medically benched for 6 months, but I had one cycle during that, so I count it. . For you, my thoughts would be this is cycle four, but maybe I am wrong. I have been thinking of a LoTR marathon too, but DH isn't a fan, so I am not sure. I am sorry again for your loss.
@meri-mac, good luck with the car. I really want a new one because I hate mine, but I love not having a car payment.

@eleven_ were CD buddies! Sorry about that
Also I'm too lazy to fill out all the questions but my favorite GOT character is Jon Snow! I just love him!
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: Supplement List as long as your arm, acupuncture, OPKs, CBAD, CM, CP, BBT, Ava, and a fair amount of hocus pocus. Supposed to be starting sexy times today, but DH started at 6am talking about digging up our garden. This did not turn me on at all.
R/R: Already had breakfast and sitting in front of the fire having eaten our pancakes. I’m telling myself as soon as the squirrel has been for her nuts I will get on and do my normal Sunday morning jobs, then start on my thesis. Let’s see how that goes lol.
CS/Q: Nope. Though annoyed that I accidentally put the wrong CD1 into my CBAD and can’t change it, so this cycle will look forever wonky on there. Unless anyone knows how to hack them and change the CD1???
GTKY: Who is your favorite character in Game of Thrones? I would also say my opinion changes depending on the episode. I was most gutted that they were still following the books and killed off a Sean Bean (Ned Stark) in Season 1. But I just found a new series with him in, so I’m happy.
@eleven_ @whitmore1027 @galactickates sorry to see you back in WTO ladies
@rosebud332 sometimes those days just hanging out are really the best
@holly321 I’m also having wonky temps in FP for the last few cycles. They stay high right until 3-4 days before O, dip for 4-5 days, then shoot straight back up. I don’t know if it’s more weather, blanket, sleeping clothes related or just my body being weird, hope your body at least settles into a clear pattern for you so you will know when Yu O.
@meri-Mac hope the financing offer is a good one! DH bought a new car just before Xmas as his old one would not have passed its test in January (he’d had it 13 years and driven over 350,000km in it) and had put it off because having the monthly payments is of course another expense, but having peace of mind to get where you need to be without the risk of being stranded somewhere or having major unplanned expenses was worth it in the end

R/R: I've done pretty much nothing the last 2 days and it has been fabulous
CS/Q: I'm don't think I'm going to start temping again until I stop bleeding after d&c and just so I know when my hcg is back lower and af will come. I have to wait until af returns to ttc again. It took 5 weeks last time
GTKY: Who is your favorite character in Game of Thrones? I've never seen it, except for the first episode
@meri-mac What do you think of the corolla? I've had a mini for awhile now and need to get a new one. I miss the maintenance warranty and should've never listened to my previous financial guy to not renew it.
@holly321 It's probably from the bc. I read that it can alter sleep and elevate body temperature so maybe there is an adjustment period. Are you feeling better today?
@Whitmore1027 I'm thinking about abandoning GM for the next 30 days after his assholery last cycle. Are you with me?!

@Whitmore1027 Love, love, love Tyrion and Bronn together! So entertaining!
@meri-mac Good luck with the car financing! Hope you get good news Monday!
@rosebud332 I would definitely be devastated if Tyrion died! I heard that George RR Martin identifies with Tyrion the most, so hooooopefully that keeps him safe? But who knows!
@holly321 Davos is such a wonderful character. He's so good, in fact, I'm almost certain he will die! (I very much hope not.) Glad you're almost done being benched!
@galactickates So sorry about CD1.
@emmasemm I am legit still sad about Ned Stark. I loved him as a character. Good luck with working on your thesis!
@thisiskate I'm so sorry about your D and C. I hope your cycle returns to normal soon.
@suzycupcake I love Arya too! Re: last season did you call the Littlefinger twist or did you think that she and Sansa were actually out to get each other? I was getting worried there for a bit!

R/R: Rant: this weekend has been a bear. My mother and brother both struggle with alcoholism and they *both* relapsed this weekend. This has been going on for years but I just can never get used to the disappointment and pain. They're my only family (all my grandparents are gone and my father passed away when I was 18) so it's just hard to deal with. Rave: I played guitar and sang a bit today to work through some emotions and I haven't had time to do that in *months* so it felt good, even if I'm rusty! And I'm just about to start work on the second draft of a script I'm planning on entering in a contest soon!
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: Who is your favorite character in Game of Thrones? This is SO HARD. I basically love every character for very different reasons, but I'll go with Brienne of Tarth, just because no one has mentioned her yet and she's a bad ass. But I would seriously cry for a week if anything happened to Tyrion.
@maureenmce I'm so so sorry about your mom and brother. My mom is an alcoholic as well. We don't talk much anymore, but I remember really believing her when she promised she was done. It never stuck and it was really hard on me. Have your brother and mom been in rehab? I hope you are doing okay. I swear alcoholism is sometimes harder on family than it is on the alcoholic.

I had a and a fertility massage yesterday. It was blissful. Seriously one of the best massages I’ve ever had. This lady has skill! And it was relatively cheap ($90 for 90 minutes). I don’t know if having a doula rub hot stones over my lower abdomen will help me get pregnant or not but I can tell you it was very relaxing. She even offered to do it again the day before my IUI for half off! She’s a dream.
GTKY: Tyrion Lannister. I have a crush on Peter Dinklage. He is so talented.
Ooooh a doula massage! I wonder if they have that where I live? I like massage in general as long as it isn't deep tissue. MH is the only one who knows how to get in there without hurting me. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and felt relaxed. So important!
@maureenmce and @eleven_ Sorry to hear this ladies. Alcoholism is such an insidious thing. My Dad was one and I've dated a few men who were. Lots of hugs and message me any time if you want to talk about it.
@maureenmce I totally did not call it but after it happened, I realized oh yea! I should've known everything would be fine between Sansa and Arya because Sansa was already aware of how twisted he is. There's no way she betrays her family! She didn't even when she was with what's his face that everyone was happy when he finally died? *goes to google* oh yea Joffrey! She was trapped. All she wanted was to be a Queen some day. Can't blame her for that one.
