CD/DPO: 33/14
Timing: I thought it was good

Testing: no more
R/R: rave - I'm off today, so I'm planning to be a couch potato. My H and I were supposed to have a date night going out to dinner and a movie. But I have pretty awful AF cramps, so I think I'm going to see if he'd be willing to switch to a date night in with take-out food and a movie rental we can stream. I'm open to movie suggestions if anyone has seen anything good lately!
Rant: AF expected tomorrow, which FF so lovingly tells me in BOLD RED LETTERS. Way harsh, Tai.
CS/Q: nope
Month/Cycle: 1/1

Typical LP length: 12-13

R/R: It’s DH’s birthday today, so we’re going out for sushi with friends ❤️ Also our painter is finishing up our house today—we just moved and our master is literally SPONGE painted a pee yellow color. It’s so bad. I dream about not being surrounded by it anymore
CS/Q: nope.
R/R: Fri-YAY and last work day of the year!! ‘Nuff said. Also, for the record someone might need to send me ice cream, hard cider and the good chocolate (Ritter Sport - the biscuit flavor is the BEST!) if this cycle is a bust. We went as all out as our old asses could handle so I’m gonna be so broken if I’m not KU.
CS/Q: Haven’t gotten CH’s yet, but as @nomangos23 predicted (you’re the BEST!!) I got a temp bump today so I’m making the move to TWW. I suspect I’ll get CH’s tomorrow.
@bluejeanbabi05 Ugh. Sponge painted?!?! LOL! What colors did you go with? We’re big fans of grey. Have fun having sushi tonight!! Happy birthday to YH!
@lillywonderland, I'm so sad we are missing each other again! I'd like to say I hope we get to overlap for more than a day sometime, but truly I'd rather we both jet off to BMBs instead! I hope you and YH going all out this cycle does the trick for you! 🤞
My favorite color is yellow, because it reminds me of sunshine 😊
I frequently say my favorite movie is Grease, but my REAL favorite movie (how did you know!??!), as in, the one I will watch over and over and over but don't want to admit it, is How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days 😂
My favorite meal is chicken parmesan with homemade cheddar-bay biscuits. YUM!
Now I have some questions for you!
-what's the story behind your SN?
-what are your go-to toppings at the build-your-own froyo shops?
-what is your favorite book?
@bluejeanbabi05 Have a fun night out! I love sushi!
@lillywonderland I was wondering when I'd see you in the same group as me again! Hope your Xmas was lovely. lol to the care package of goodies.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
TTC #2: October 2018, BFP 02/02/19, EDD 10/14/19
@galentine How to Lose a Guy is by far my favourite guilty pleasure of all time. Not even ashamed to admit that I've seen it about 2825739 times.
@lillywonderland *hugs* you need to add a caveat that someone should ship you that care package (maybe without the cider) when you graduate to your SMEPtember BMB this month too.

@stephanie123456 No clue about your Q. FF is still a mystery to me. My Christmas was great! We went to Zion for the long weekend and did some awesome hikes! Did you enjoy the rain on christmas?? I kinda wished we were in Big Bear since it snowed there on Christmas!! Crazy!!
@galentine I love your Clueless reference! I responded to something my H said the other day with "Way harsh Tai" and he looked at me like I was crazy. It's like I don't even know him!

BFP# 3 Preemie DD born at 38w (IUGR) on 8/28/19 weighing 5.5lbs. Our little miracle
@bluejeanbabi05 oh no not sponge paint! Enjoy the night out~
@lillywonderland may this be your cycle! Did you end up SMEP'ing?
@stephanie123456 I wish I knew more about temping or science to answer your questions (I'm still staring at my own chart with total consternation). FX still though!
Month/Cycle: 3/4
CD/DPO: 21/9
Timing: Not that great
Typical LP length: 13ish
Testing: Jan. 1 (since I'm expecting AF on the 2nd or 3rd)
R/R: Rant - I'm feeling kind of BSC because I swear that I have been feeling nauseous but think that I've finally pushed myself into making myself feel sick (rather than it being real). Does that make sense?
Rave - Yay another holiday is coming up so soon! This is truly the most wonderful time of the year (since everyone at work is ducking from working or giving out new assignments too).
CS/Q: Had a temp drop this morning (.4), disappointing since it's been high the last three days.
Beach AND mountains because I absolutely cannot choose between the two. I love them both and need them both in my life.
Fav sport to watch is football. I'm active but not "sporty" so I don't play any organized sports myself.
H looks like a young Bob Saget. Now, if only I could get him to clean like Danny Tanner 😂
Fav animal is hard because I love all animals and want to cuddle and squeeze them all. I love sloths, monkeys, and bears a lot, but dogs are probably my FAVORITE because they don't fight back when I snuggle them.
-what's your favorite way to spend a Sunday?
-spring, summer, fall, or winter?
-what would you do if you had a sudden windfall of $1M?
@marbellie, have I mentioned how cute I think your photo is? It's adorable!
@galentine My BIL has the Danny Tanner cleaning gene! lol. I'm also gonna agree with the mtns and beach. I would have a hard time choosing myself!!
Sunday: Morning Mtn biking with DH, then obvs a bacon breakfast burrito, then some sports watching in the afternoon (football and golf are my favs). Perhaps also I'll throw in some light cleaning and meal prepping (to make my week easier, lol). Going for an evening stroll with DH and dinner and a movie at home.
Season: Summer AND Winter. I hate the seasons in between. Give me cold(ish) and hot!
$1M: Vacation first, then a new car (practical: 4Runner, dream: LandRover LR2/4). Then honestly we'd prolly save/invest the other $900k. lolololol. We're boring and practical. ohhh, and maybe a faux grass putting green in the backyard.
-favorite/signature item of clothing?
-favorite artist and song? (musical)
-favorite artist and piece? (art)
-dinner with a deceased celebrity: who would it be?
@marbellie, I also forgot to say thanks for the movie rec earlier. I have seen To All The Boys I've Loved Before, and it is so adorable! We are planning to watch Bird Box too at some point, but we went with Searching for tonight. Highly recommend!
Month/Cycle: 1/1 - we have gone back and forth with surrogacy because of my age but ultimately decided to move forward with TTC-ing
CD/DPO: CD19 / DPO 4
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 10-ish
Testing: Thursday for early. Then Sunday (ya right - it'll be daily)
R/R: I have bronchitis. At least it happened after BD-ing was needed?
