GTKY: Who is the most inspirational person to you?

Erinm278 · June 2018

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: ?/9 because I don't know how to count...

Timing: good!

Typical LP length: 13 ish

Testing: I didn't test today which is a huge accomplishment for me. I can't help myself from peeing on sticks. I will probably test tomorrow at 10 dpo.

R/R: I wish I would just get out of my own head. I think it's because it's my first cycle and my body is adjusting that I'm allowing myself to believe in phantom symptoms.

CS/Q: Guys, I'm an idiot. All this time I was counting O day in my dpo counts. Do you all count O day? Without O day I'm actually 9 dpo today!

GTKY: Who is the most inspirational person to you? Not one articular person. I'm inspired by people who are fearless and relentless in their pursuit of the things they believe in.

Swiftlet · June 2018

@Erinm278 yay for not testing today! As for DPO, I would not count O day in that- maybe others are different though:)

Sparty18 · June 2018

@Erinm278 No, I do not count O day in DPO.

Month/Cycle: 7/8

CD/DPO: 13/1 (I'm being a rebel and making the call)

Timing: -2,-1,O (probably add a +1 tonight)

Typical LP length: 13-14

Testing: 11dpo-ish unless the RE appt changes things next week

R/R: Rave: Yay for O! Rant: I feel like there is soooo much pressure on this TWW and I don't look forward to the crazies starting next week.

CS/Q: I'm pretty confident O was yesterday based on OPKs (blazers have corresponded with O day for me lately) and the O pains this morning which are typical the day after O for me. The temp increase wasn't huge, but FF will still recognize it if I put in two more high temps.

GTKY: Who is the most inspirational person to you? I always struggle with this question. I'm just going with my Grandma; never has a kinder soul graced this planet. Not at all biased.

nitnat007 · June 2018

@Erinm278 I do not count O day in that either. FF doesn't so I would keep it out. Good job on not testing!

@sparty18 Yay for O day!!

Month/Cycle: 14/13 (4 benched)

CD/DPO: 18/5

Timing: -3, -1

Typical LP length: 13

Testing: Nope

R/R: Woke up to garbage and compost on our back deck and yard. DH (love him!) forgot to put the green bin top down so we had a visit from the friendly neighborhood raccoons. So I was clearing trash and chickens bones in the rain at 5:30am. Work is also super busy.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Who is the most inspirational person to you? Hmmm....I don't think I have just one person. My parents for sure. My brain is blank today.

meri-mac · June 2018

@Erinm278 I do not count O day. As for symptom spotting, we all do it. Try not to give in as best you can. It will drive you mad. I speak from experience.

@Sparty18 We will be here for when the crazies start. Your timing looks great! Fx crossed for you.

Month/Cycle: 17/14

CD/DPO: 18/4

Timing: -3, 0, +1

Typical LP length: 14-15 days

Testing: No.

R/R: I am angry at the world today. Have talked to my brother and my bridesmaids to get it out, but it hasn't worked. I've asked my fiance to take on some wedding things to help keep me from going supernova. The finances, the TTC, the wedding and work, I may explode. I am a pretty responsible person when it comes to finances. I only allow myself to eat out one a week and no more than $15, but I just can't seem to get ahead. Not to mention that I have applied for several government jobs and haven't heard back from one. I think the rain has spurred on this foul mood because all I want to do is crawl into bed and read with some hot chocolate. I'm getting married in 25 days and I wish I could be excited rather than annoyed with everything and everyone, including myself. I feel like this happens every few months and I just want to break the cycle. Hope all you ladies are having good days.

CS/Q: -

GTKY: Who is the most inspirational person to you? In my current mood, Evil Willow from Buffy.

Erinm278 · June 2018

@meri-mac I'm sorry you're having hard time right now. I wish I could help but I hope things get better for you!

meggyme · June 2018

@meri-mac I believe you're Canadian, but I know in the US the gov't takes aaaaaages to get an answer back about anything. There's lots of red tape to get through, so hopefully that's all it is.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD/DPO: 19/4

Timing: -1, +1

Typical LP length: 10

Testing: before DH leaves for a trip next week

R/R: Guys, We just bought a classic truck! A 1947 Hudson Pickup that we will finish restoring/customizing. I keep alternating between "omg, how cool!" and "wtf did we just do?" Rant- I have a dentist appt today.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Who is the most inspirational person to you? For lack of a better answer, my mom.

meri-mac · June 2018

@meggyme That is what MF says...stupid government. I love the dentist! Have you taken some 'Before' pictures of the truck to compare once the work is done?

meggyme · June 2018

The paint is meant to look faded and patina-ed. I'm unsure if/how we'll want to paint it.

hoodevil0611 · June 2018

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD/DPO: 24/5

Timing: -3, -1, 0

Typical LP length: 13 last month. We'll see.

Testing: Next week. Or maybe Friday. I have no chill and can never wait.

R/R: I've been MIA lately both because I was making myself nuts thinking about TTC too much and because I was traveling to collect a new puppy! She's super cute. We road tripped with both her and a sister we were transporting for someone else; sadly handed over the sister this afternoon.

In terms of rant, I still don't have enough billable work at the moment, which is super frustrating as all signs to point to me not making my billable hour minimum this year despite having pulled a number of allnighters, including some just last month. But at least it give me more time to play with the puppy.

CS/Q:

GTKY: Who is the most inspirational person to you? Many mentors and friends along the way.

@meggyme, congrats on the truck! Sounds awesome.
@meri-mac, I went through that wedding stress last year. I thought I'd be totally cool about it, too, since I didn't have a lot of ideas about how it needed to go, but eventually it's inevitable for almost everyone, I think. The good news is, you're soooo close, and you're going to have an amazing day even if every last detail isn't as envisioned.
@nitnat007, uggh, I can relate to the trash situation. Our trash has to be closed and locked, or our older dog will get into it, and H only remembers about 90% of the time. I've accepted that he's never going to be better about that sort of thing, but it can be annoying
@erinm278, so with you on the phantom symptoms. Every little twinge (real or imagined) during TWW gets over-analyzed and obsessed over.

nitnat007 · June 2018

@meri-mac So sorry that you are having a frustrating day! I hope that they get back to you on the jobs soon though and also with good news. FX for you! But don't stress, we all go through our moments where we are just grumpy about it, we get it! *hugs*
@meggyme Love-love that truck! I think it such a great project. Look forward to hearing all about it and seeing pictures.
@hoodevil0611 She is ADORABLE!!!! She is so fluffy and looks super sweet too. I bet she is bringing you many hours of joy and laughter

How is the older pup doing with the introduction?
And yes, I have all but given up on MH and things like the trash. I just need to do it myself. Sigh....

meri-mac · June 2018

@hoodevil0611 AH the puppy is so CUTE! I wanna squeeze her! I spent a good long while google puppy pictures to help my rage this afternoon. Hope your hours pick up. For now, enjoy the puppy snuggles!

@nitnat007 Thank you!

general_organa · June 2018

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD/DPO: 27/9

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

Typical LP length: 11.5

Testing: I am tempted to test tomorrow, but I really shouldn't unless AF is late.

R/R: Still having these imaginary mild cramps here and there. I really think my brain just wants my body to be KU so badly it's making up symptoms now.

CS/Q: Nothing exciting, but here it is. I've compared it to past charts and today's temp is nothing special. Tomorrow's temp should be telling, though, I think.

GTKY: Who is the most inspirational person to you? Right now I guess Malala.

@Erinm278 I'm right there with you with the phantom symptoms.

@sparty18 FX for you this month, and I hope the RE appointment goes well.

@meri-mac sorry everything is so tough right now. I hope something gives soon!

@meggyme the truck sounds like it will be a cool project!

@hoodevil0611 your new puppy is so adorable! There's nothing like burying your face in fluffy puppy fur!
