Re: TWW Wed 5/23

  • Month/Cycle: 7/7

    CD/DPO: 26/14

    Timing: -3,-1,O,+1

    Typical LP length: 13-14

    Testing:  BFNs - just waiting for AF

    R/R:  Happy for the long LP, not happy that I know AF is looming.

    CS/Q: Typically my temp starts going down the day before AF so I was surprised to see it up today.  It gave me the tiniest glimmer of hope, so I tested to kill those hopes.

    1 year of paid maternity and paternity leave for errrrrrybody.

  • Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 19/4 (according to CTP)

    Timing: O, -1, -4

    Typical LP length: 9ish

    Testing: not any plans

     
    R/R: praying for the weather to stay what the forecast says right now.  It keeps changing back and forth between sunny all weekend and storms all weekend.  I need my lake time!

    CS/Q:  CTP says I ovulated on Saturday.  FF doesn’t agree.  I have to say my BBT and secondary signs are kind of confusing this month.  Any insight or thoughts?

    GTKY: (Stolen from WTO) If you were ruler of your own country what would be the first law you would introduce?  Free healthcare and education

  • Month/Cycle: 3/3

    CD/DPO: 19/7

    Timing: -2, -1

    Typical LP length: last one was 11

    Testing: Probably sometime over the weekend, whenever my will power gives out. The ridiculous side of me keeps thinking about how super sweet it would be to get a positive on Friday and have an entire long weekend with DH to revel in it. Cuz apparently my brain still thinks this whole thing will suddenly turn into a rom/com at any moment.

    R/R: My husband has decided to get on the working out train with me. This is both a rant and a rave. Rave: It's great because he wants to play tennis more often and that's always my preferred method for exercise. Rant: His big motivator is losing, like, 10 pounds or something. Which I'm sure he'll do....in like a day. While I struggle over here trying to shed a measly single pound here and there.

    CS/Q: There have been less jumps up and down this time around, and so far they're holding steady, but at only 7dpo that doesn't really mean much.

    I of course love the maternity/paternity leave idea. I don't know really, maybe something that would give everyone some amount of vacation time and a requirement that they use it. There are so many people who either don't have it at all, or, worse in my opinion, do have it but are so caught up in our work culture here that they don't use hardly any of it. Mental, emotional, and physical health all suffer from over-working all the time.


    @LJMoon6 -- That's a really cool family belief, but I can't imagine the pressure that must come with it too. I completely understand the desire to test early in that situation. My hopes for you that all goes well!

    @Sparty18 -- I'm sorry about the BFNs. As others say, you're not out until you're out and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

    @quidditchcapn1120 Lake time sounds so good right about now!!! I hope the weather cooperates for you. Do you have a cabin or favorite camping site? If it does storm hopefully it’s just at night. I love the sound of rain hitting your tent. We have some crazy weather forecasted for this weekend. 90s for almost a whole week. It’s crazy for Minnesota.

    @auburnvelvet86 MH and I used to play tennis together all the time (we’re both pretty bad at it, me more than him lol). I loved having someone to play with. I would much rather be playing a sport than hitting up the gym equipment. We just don’t have time for it on the week days any more. I’m thinking about switching back to 8 hour days. These 10s are killing me! My family is crazy! Everyone is convinced that we’ll be pregnant “soon.” It’s hard not to get hopeful too I guess.

  • @LJMoon6 -- Another Minnesotan! It's like the weather gods are trying to pay us back fro that April blizzard. If only they would understand that moderation in all things is preferred.
  • @Sparty18 so sorry for you ur BFNs but fx for the next few days!

    @LJMoon6 enjoy your newfound free time!  I’ve been there; restaurants can be so stressful.

    @auburnvelvet86 This winter was so hard! I hate winter to begin with, so not cool! I think we were spoiled the last couple of years with our early springs. That was so nice! Are you from MN originally? MH and I are from WI but very close to the border of MN. Our Wisconsin hometowns are actually considered suburbs of the Twin Cities. We bought our first house last year and made the leap across the border, so we're officially Minnesotans now.

    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD/DPO: 29/8dpo I ovulate on CD 21


    Timing: everyother day

    Typical LP length: not too sure. 10-11 days

    Testing: i have been testing since 6dpo because I'm a glutton for punishment

     
    R/R: I feel like garbage. I've been nauseous for 2 days. Vomitting. Cramping. I had thisnwith ds1 and ds2, but still BFN.  I don't care if AF rears her head just so long as k don't feel like shit.

    CS/Q:

    GTKY: I would make universal health care a standard across the board. 

  • Month/Cycle: 1/1

    CD/DPO: 26/10

    Timing: -2, -1, O

    Typical LP length: 12ish

    Testing: Saturday if AF doesn't show since that's when she's due according to FF, but I'm thinking she's going to, as I started spotting yesterday.

     
    R/R: Ugh, have to take the dog to the groomer tomorrow. It's always a battle because he's smart, so as soon as he figures out where we're headed he freaks out. I always tell the groomer she can call me as soon as she's done so I can pick him up straightaway (I'm not even 5 minutes away). I've tried positive reinforcement and anti-anxiety medicines, but still no luck. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

    CS/Q: None

    GTKY: (Stolen from WTO) If you were ruler of your own country what would be the first law you would introduce? I'm on the free healthcare bandwagon. And especially better/more readily available mental healthcare.


  • @sparty18 Stranger hugs.

    @ljmoon6 Yassss do it friend! I can't wait to hear about what recipes you are preparing soon. I love cooking so I would love to share recipes when you feel up to it. 

    @quidditchcapn1120 It looks like you might be about to O. I would keep hio, starting tonight. I would def love to know what in the hell went on in your bedroom Saturday night! :dizzy:

    @kaylaef Could you be a dear and put that trigger warning in a spoiler to protect the ladies here and keep it a safe space?

    @chellisam That's a tough one. Is he a rescue? Have you tried grooming him yourself for a little while?

    Month/Cycle: Yup

    CD/DPO: 22/8 according to ff with a missed temp

    Timing: -5, -3, -2, -1, +1

    Typical LP length: 13

    Testing: 5/31

    R/R: So busy ahhhhhhhhhh

    CS/Q: Glad my temps are holding steady. I really think these supps are balancing things.

    Hmmmmmmm. Probably to ban adoption agencies from making exorbitant profits off of orphans. 

    People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

    How I feel all of the time.

  • I'm currently in the lurking-to-get-familiar stage before I start trying to engage with the community. Lots of rules and I want to make sure I'm respectful of them.. Curious as to why you asked @kaylaef to put a TW in her post. Because she talked about getting sick? Insight would be helpful!
  • @nomangos23 *TW kids/pregnancy* Any mention of children is encouraged to be kept to the TFAS (trying for a sibling) threads unless completely necessary to the conversation. Also, mentioning of pregnancy or symptoms and asking the board, even in a round about way, or suggesting that you could be pregnant is against the TOU. Hope that helps, and Welcome!
