GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning and what does your routine consist of? It takes me about a half hour. I shower at night so all I have to do is flat iron my hair and make-up. On days I work, I do a full face of make-up: foundation, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. I don’t wear make-up on my days off so my face can get a break.

ETA: Where all my TWWers at?

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD/DPO: 35/10

Timing: -3, -1

Typical LP length: Not sure yet.

Testing: Maybe tomorrow?

R/R: It's a cloudy day, I have the day off of work and it's making just want to sleep the day away.

CS/Q: Have any of you figured out a good way to deal with headaches during the TWW? And also, caffeine alternatives?

GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning and what does your routine consist of? Any more I've gotten so lax with my routine. It takes about half an hour. At this point I wash my face, put leave-in conditioner in my hair to make it more manageable, and do some kind of do and then do my makeup, which is just some lotion on the face, brows, liner and mascara.

lelkcot · May 2018

@eleven_ yay for a 3 day weekend ahead! Hope you have some relaxing plans. Also yes, tww has been quite this week.

@bdream0916 overcast days always make me extra sleepy too!

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 20/4

Timing: -4, -3

Typical LP length: 12-14 days

Testing: planning to wfaf

R/R: TTC and work have me feeling super anxious today. My company just got acquired and I have no clarity on what it means for me. And I’ve pretty much convinced myself our crappy timing this month means we’re out. Meh, just having an anxious day I guess.

GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning and what does your routine consist of? 45-1hr on my office days/getting fully ready: shower, makeup - concealer, powder, mascara, and hair. If I’m just running errands etc I can be ready in like 15 minutes!

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD/DPO: 26/11

Timing: -3, -1, +1

Typical LP length: Not sure yet.

Testing: I swore I would hold off until the weekend, but I've been having annoying cramps since about Saturday, which is weird since AF isn't due until Wednesday. Negative, so I guess either AF will be arriving early or my body's just decided to make this cycle extra uncomfortable. Fun.

R/R: I'm running on 6 hours of sleep in the past 2 nights combined due to craziness at work, and I still have so much to do. At least it's almost the weekend.

CS/Q:

GTKY: About 25-30 minutes, up to 40 if you include figuring out what I'm going to wear and getting dressed. Routine includes shower, put in contacts, lotion, brush teeth, dry hair, concealer, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick or gloss if I remember. I'm not a huge makeup person; just keep it to the basics, so that makes it easy to be in and out relatively fast. Actually, it takes me much less time to get ready than it does my husband, which makes me crazy.

hoodevil0611 · May 2018

@eleven_, So jealous of you 3-day weekend! Any fun plans?

@bdream0916 Is there a reason not to have caffeine during TWW? Didn't know that, though with the amount of sleep I've been getting lately, forgoing is not so much an option for me at the moment!

nitnat007 · May 2018

@eleven_ It has been so quiet in the TWW lately. I thought it was just me. Yay for good weather on a long weekend. Enjoy it!

@bdream0916 Jealous that you get to spend your rainy day at home. Take a nap for both of us lol. Do you drink any teas? Tylenol is better if that works for you too on the headache front.

@LElkCot Oh dear, I hope that everything works out for your position through this acquisition. It would make me very anxious too. FX

@hoodevil0611 Hope that things settle down for you soon and you are able to get some much needed sleep.

Month/Cycle: 11/12

CD/DPO: 17/5

Timing: -3, -1, 1

Typical LP length: 14

Testing: Nope

R/R: Just got back from teaching, legs are done! I did not think about my set list very well so mixed up a really heavy leg and chest day. Ouch! It is rainy out too so it would be nice to just get out of here and sit on the sofa.
Only three more hours to quitting time.

CS/Q:

GTKY: I get ready at the gym every day after my workout. The chatting with the other ladies tends to make things extend a little lol, but shower, wash, dry, and straighten hair, minimal make-up, lotions and potions, I am out in about 45 minutes. At home on the weekends when I don't wash my hair it is about 15 minutes.

thegirlwhowaited_ · May 2018

@eleven_ enjoy your long weekend! Hopefully the weather stays nice.
@bdream0916 are your headaches from hormones at the end of your cycle or from not having caffeine?
@LElkCot FX everything works out for your job/company and TTC!
@hoodevil0611 it takes my husband longer too! His showers are twice as long as mine.

Month/Cycle: 12/12

CD/DPO: 27 / 12

Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0

Typical LP length: 13 days

Testing: Tested yesterday morning, BFN. Probably will wait till Saturday or Sunday. AF should arrive some time on Saturday.

R/R: DH is stressing me out with his stress about his semen analysis coming up.

CS/Q:nope.

GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning and what does your routine consist of?
15-30 min depending on if I showered the night before or need to shower in the morning. I usually throw my hair up, get dressed, moisturizer on my face, maybe mascara if I'm feeling like it, eat breakfast, and then out the door. I'm not big on spending time doing my hair and make up to go sit at a cubicle. Most people I work with are in other States so no one sees me. Half the time I work from home and stay in my PJs. It's great!

lelkcot · May 2018

@nitnat007 and @thrgirlwhowaited thanks, I’m hopeful about the job stuff, but it’s still making me a bit nuts/anxious.

eleven_ · May 2018

@hoodevil0611 Running on < 7 hours of sleep a night is rough. Hopefully you have a coffee maker nearby. Yes! I’m also incredibly happy for the weekend. We will probably plant some veggies in our garden.

@nitnat007 I love arms day so much more than legs day. I hate hate HATE doing squats and burpies!

@thegirlwhowaited Sorry your DH is stressing you out about his SA. I hope you guys end up finding out that there was nothing to stress about.

thegirlwhowaited_ · May 2018

@eleven_ Thanks! I had my appointment with my OBGYN Monday. My labs came back normal. I had my ultrasound yesterday and I noticed the tech was making notes in a "Fibroids" folder on the screen, but she can't tell me anything. I'll have to wait for the doctor to call me about that next week if not tomorrow. I've never been told I've had fibroids, but my step-mom says they are fairly common.

eleven_ · May 2018

@thrgirlwhowaited I hate that the techs can't tell you what they see. I mean, I understand why they can't, but at the same time it's really frustrating that you just have to sit there and wonder what they are seeing. Maybe she was making a note about the lack of fibroids? Hopefully they call you tomorrow so that you don't have to wonder about it all weekend.

Month/Cycle: 16/8

CD/DPO: don't know

Timing: -1, O

Typical LP length: 15 fays

Testing: probably soon. The crampig. I have ever.single.month has me hopeful, lol

R/R: I have a conference to go to for work tomorrow and I don't want to! I am off on Fridays too, so it really sucks, and makes my weekend super short.

CS/Q:. None

GTKY: How long does it take you to get ready in the morning and what does your routine consist of?
It depends. I wear scrubs to work, so at least there is no thought for what I am wearing. I don't usually do my hair during the week either.

@hoodevil0611, I think some people may have personal reasons, or are extra vigilant, as to not having caffeine. IMO, which may be wrong, is if it is fine during pregnancy, it is fine during the TWW, so all the caffeine for me.

@eleven_ enjoy your 3 day weekend, I will try not to be bitterly jealous. How are the chicks?

*lurking from wto*

@holly321 There you are! I feel like I haven't seen you in awhile and maybe because you changed your avatar lol Hiiiii!

holly321 · May 2018

@suzycupcake, it's probably been a combo of new avatar and just not posting much lately. Hope things are well with you!

thegirlwhowaited_ · May 2018

@eleven_ Unfortunately no one called Friday, so hopefully I hear something today.
