Cycle Day/DPO: 20/3

Testing: Daily - still getting a strong positive from my trigger but that's to be expected.
R/R: We had a snow storm the first day of spring, and we're expecting another storm on Saturday. WTAF, come on, spring
CS/Q: Eh, not really. Prometrium is being a bitch and giving me every pregnancy symptom on the books aside from nausea. Boobs so achy the pressure from my coat hurts, swollen-feeling uterus, bloating, falling asleep on the couch while watching TV, foul temper, and out of control cravings. But, I'm 3 DP IUI so there's literally no possible way I am pregnant now.
GTKY: Saved by the Bell! I still love watching reruns
@holly321 Oh that sucks! I hope you have a great weekend to make up for it! **TW**The spike would make me exited too. Fx for you!**End TW**

R/R: We got zero snow last night. I was hoping for a day off. I feel this week is trying to destroy me and a day off would have helped. Hopefully today and tomorrow will go quickly.
CS/Q: -
GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid? I remember watching a lot of Sailor Moon and wanted so much to be Sailor Jupiter. She was the most bad a**
@wishiwaspreggo - oh, SBTB! you went to the pop-up The Max? I always wanted to hang out in a place like that. Sorry about the prometrium symptoms.
@meri-mac - going back to see my family next week for a few days. I haven't been back for about a year and a half, so it's pretty exciting! Sorry about your crappy week. Hope it goes quickly for you and you can have a good weekend! any plans?

GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid?
Depends on how young you mean "as a kid". I loved Rugrats! As I got a little older I enjoyed Nick at Night shows like The Nanny, Fresh Prince, then got into I Love Lucy around middle school.
DS2 due 12/12/18
@CecilB93 I totally forgot about Rugrats! I loved that show! I didn't even mind All Grown Up either. **TW** Sorry about the BFN. Hopefully it just means your O date was off. Fx for you! **End TW**
@catlady2015 - Yes, they had a Saved by the Bell pop-up restaurant in Chicago that was an exact replica of The Max! It was amazing. They were even playing music from the 80's and 90's. I was in nostalgia heaven.
@CecilB93 - sorry about the BFN

R/R: Rave: One of my friends who lives in another state and I haven’t seen in years reached out to me to hang out online. I’m so looking forward to it- DH and I have had to move a lot, and I’ve been down lately about people not trying to maintain friendships. It feels good to have someone say ‘hi, want to catch up?’
CS/Q:
GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid? Echoing Sailor Moon and Power Rangers. I used to watch Mystery Science Theater 3000 on Saturdays with my dad and that was always a treat, even if I didn’t get most of the jokes.
@meri-mac Sailor Jupiter was the best!
@holly321 Good luck on your work day
@wishiwaspreggo I’ve never actually seen an episode of SBTB. I’m confused how that happened, too, considering how popular it was!
@lin0442 I've never seen SBTB either, you're not alone!
DS2 due 12/12/18

R/R: I am listening to a really creepy audio book at my desk right called Bird Box. When anyone comes to talk to me, I completely jump out of my skin. Everyone thinks it’s hilarious now and keeps trying to scare me
CS/Q: I'm so tired of buying the First Response tests. What is that brand of cheap Walmart tests everyone likes again?
GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid? Rugrats, Full House, The Secret World of Alex Mack, All That

R/R: The shed is done! It only took all day Sun, and all night after work Mon and Wed. H said "add building a shed to the list of things I'll never do again." It was pure hell. We've also gotten all of our art hung. My Doxie pic I got framed for H's birthday is hung and turned out amazing. I'm super happy with it.

R/R: Rave; It's raining and has been raining on and off here. I love the rain. Other people hate it, but to me, it's a cleansing and feels so beautiful to me. Rants; Me dog keeps stretching out her legs on the couch and trying to kick me off. I did my lab work this morning to test other thyroid functioning things and waiting on the nurse to send the prescription for levothyroxine to the pharmacy. Meh.
CS/Q: Nah.
GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid? Tom&Jerry is still my favorite tv show.

I hope I'm allowed 2 rants in one day. My week keeps getting worse and worse. I'm 99% that AF is coming. TMI Warning: I went to the bathroom had some dark brown discharge. End TMI. I think my ovulation tracker app is off by a couple days and so I have been doing this wrong for almost a year. I just want to punch something. I don't want to have to come in to work tomorrow.

@holly 321 - I would def be excited if that was my chart
@galactickates - Congrats on finally finishing the shed, it sounds like a horrible affair. The moxie pic is super cute, do you have one, or just liked that print for DH?
@meri-mac - How frustrating. I have never even really charted because the whole thing is mystifying to me, like I might as well be interpreting tea leaves. I hope you can correct for the slow tracker and FX have better timing next cycle.
Month/Cycle: 6/3
Cycle Day/DPO: I *think* I'm 8 DPO **TW loss in spoiler**
Timing: -3, -1
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: trying to hold out until Apr 1 for any testing we'll see if I can make it that long
R/R: Rant - Roof got damaged in wind storm a few weeks ago, and then we had about 4 inches of snow yesterday, which is apparently the worst thing for a roof that needs to be replaced anyway. Crossing my fingers for no leeks as the snow melts today/tomorrow. Rave - Had to work from home during our snow day, but I set up the spare table in the living room and had a hygge AF day with the dog and my tea. It was great.
CS/Q: Haha, like I know how to chart.
GTKY: What was your favorite TV show as a kid? As a child, probably Ghostbusters. But as a preteen/young teen, I have very fond memories of watching Buffy with my dad.

@wishiwaspreggo, I used to always run cooler, my new thermometer has me higher. It seems consistent with itself, but all my previous charts are about a degree lower, and they were at least 2 different ones. Anyway, if I am 99.0, I am generally sick, and I am sick, but haven't really had a fever since Tuesday. Hope the prometrium side effects ease up on you soon.
@meri-mac, sorry for the lack of snow. I was hoping for wind to make our snow give us another day off and it didn't.
@suzycupcake, I love rainy days too. Until I have to deal with the mud. It drives me nuts when people always assume you like/dislike the same weather as they feel you should. Like, literally everyone around here is complaining about the snow. I love it.
@holly321 I know what you mean. People always give me a funny look when I tell them how much I love the rain. It honestly makes me really happy in my heart. I love snow but I don't like to drive in it. There you have it.
