"It's time to try defying gravity."

Testing: hahahahahhahahahah; not a chance unless my period is late
R/R: I've slept great the past two nights, I got the information I needed for when I move forward with IUI next cycle, and the rug I was waiting on got delivered yesterday! Now I just need to clean our bedroom so we can lay it down lol. Also, this week seems to be flying by, for which I'm thankful, and I was really good with eating healthy yesterday after stepping on the scale in the morning and being really disappointed with what I saw. No rants really, other than just feeling a bit blah today.
CS/Q: nope

Testing: yesterday was BFN. I considered this morning, but I didn't. I might before we leave to go out of town, but other wise I'll just pack everything I need for AF and wait it out.
R/R: Of course I waited until today to get everything ready and bathe the dogs to go out of town. *eye roll*
Typical LP length: No clue. I just started charting. FF predicts it will be 15 days.
Testing: Waiting for AF
R/R: This board has been such a wealth of information. I really appreciate all of you and I'm happy to have a community of women who are so helpful and supportive of one another
Testing: Probably next Tues or Weds. Making weekend plans to try to reduce the temptation to test too early, haha.
R/R: 7 DPO. Time seems to be moving very slowly. I'm trying not to be too optimistic this cycle to avoid disappointment, but the whole anniversary thing next week is making it difficult to not be an insane person.
CS/Q: Nothing much to see yet, temps staying nice and high so far.
@lulu1180 Sorry about the month rollover. Sounds like you have a lot of good things going on these last few days though!
@Sparty18 hugs. I hope you get next steps figured out soon and that you'll feel good about your plan.
@thrgirlwhowaited Sorry about the BFN. FX for you it was just too early.
Also, this week seems to be flying by, for which I'm thankful, and I was really good with eating healthy yesterday after stepping on the scale in the morning and being really disappointed with what I saw. No rants really, other than just feeling a bit blah today.
Popping in from WTO! Way to go on the healthy eating! I'm also getting back on trash with health/nutrition and would be happy to be motivation buddies! :-:smile:
R/R: As the weather is lovely and sunny without excessive heat, I walked to DQ for some ice cream at lunch. The first week back is going quickly and without too many issues which is nice. My brothers and their families are heading back home soon so we are having dinner together tomorrow night. There will be about 14 of us so god help that restaurant staff. My weekend will be dedicated to cleaning because although we made good progress before the wedding we all ran out of steam. Some items still need to find a permanent spot without just chucking everything in the basement. I'd love to get one of those junk companies in and just say "Take everything." But I suspect my MIL would take exception to that. MH has said we will do just that when she goes away next Another reason why I married him.
@lulu1180 Sounds like a lot of positives going on for you right now - sweet! Would love to know what the rug looks like too, if you wanna share. @Sparty18 Sorry for the BFN I hope your anxiety settles a bit as things move forward @thrgirlwhowaited Sorry for your BFN, too - fx it was just a little too early? I LOL'd at your r/r though - I am also a master procrastinator and I never, ever learn haha. @asupernovablizzardstorm You can have my SS brain free of charge- guaranteed to come up with AT LEAST 1 new very convincing symptom per day! @cabearit welcome great timing - fx for you!
@diaphena Hopefully the weekend plans distract you at least a little bit. The watched pot never boiling and all that.
AFM,
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 32/?
Timing: decent?
Typical LP length: ?
Testing: ? If I want to be a good little TTGPer, I'll wait until next weekend. I only have 1 HPT in the house right now so if I don't buy more, maybe I can convince myself to wait...maybe.
R/R: Nothing much either way. We saw the newest Jurassic World yesterday afternoon - it was OK. Work is steady today which is good - not too dead but not overwhelming either.
@lulu1180 Sorry for the crappy rollover. I am glad you are feeling better about your IUI now and kudos to you for eating healthy! Where did you order the rug from?
@Sparty18 I'm sorry, hun Do you have any questions that we can answer to help ease the anxiety around what comes next?
@thrgirlwhowaited Man today just sucks. I'm sorry *hugs* Where do your in-laws live?
@diaphena I did the same thing around father's day. I kept thinking how great it would be to tell MH that he was going to be a dad on father's day that I convinced myself I must be KU. I will do a dance to keep the crazy away from you
@Swiftlet@meri-mac I got the rug from Amazon, this is what it looks like. Our bedroom (the room where it's going) is kind of a sky blue. I'm excited to have it, especially during the cold winter months, it will be so nice not to have to worry about putting my bare feet on the cold hardwood floor! And I only paid like $35 out of pocket thanks to the cash back I accumulated on my discover card and a promo they were running where I got an extra $10 off because of said discover card!

@lulu1180 I thought that rug looked familiar and since I'm at work, I opened my texts to my dad (I screen shot things for my Christmas list) and sure enough it's the same rug I have in my living room! Look!!
@lulu1180 we love it! Still super soft after all these months. Oh, and it's also great for hiding stains (when your baffoon of a dog spills a can of Pepsi and you don't want DH know )
@Swiftlet Waiting is tough! I hear you on wanting to be "good," it's like my brain knows there isn't a point to testing really early but I wanna do it anyway, haha.
@meri-mac Lol thank you for my anti-crazy dance, I need it! Let me know if you ever need one yourself, I'll gladly return the favor
@cabearit another fellow Bump beginner! *fist bump*
@diaphena I hear you on trying to temper enthusiasm. I've only gone over a couple humps of the emotional roller coaster myself, and I'm already getting nauseous. I'm sending good thoughts your way!
@thrgirlwhowaited I'm sorry for your BFN. Also, it doesn't sound fun to go out of town with a possible AF on the way. BUT definitely gold star for washing your dogs at all. I think I would have said, "Meh. They'll be OK," and left it at that. It's a different level of procrastination, really.
Month/Cycle: 2/3 CD/DPO: 18/4-ish? Timing: probably good Typical LP length: 9 then 7. (Boooo. But just coming off of Mirena, so I'm going to stay optimistic that LP gets longer.) Testing: I haven't taken any yet! Short LPs! I'll test 14 DPO if AF stays away that long. (*aside to self* Stay strong!) Husband has insisted on testing with me every time, so there's that. R/R: Yay! I'm so happy to be here. *Newb alert!* Seriously - I burned through
72 hours of the TWW more impatient to start interacting in this
community with all of you than worried about the TWW. CS/Q: Nope! I didn't BBT/OPK earlier this month because I was on vacation during FW and forgot to pack all the things (except PNVs). BBT was already high when I got back to my thermometer at home.
