R/R: My MIL will be in town this weekend. Not excited. Last time she was here we had a blow out fight because I overheard her bashing me as a wife to my own mother. She doesn’t think her son is happy with me. And during the fight she divulged even more stuff I hadn’t overheard. It was horrible and I don’t want to see her face.
CS/Q: None.
@tyrion_ Oh my goodness, that is awful. I wouldn’t want to see her either. Is this an ongoing issue or did she just suddenly decide you’re wrong for her son? Also, who thinks it’s a good idea to say bad things about someone to their mother? So weird.

R/R: I guess I’m going through one of those phases where I sleep like crap. Day what feels like a million with less than stellar sleep. I blame the heat. BUT! My parents are coming today so I’m excited about that, and I got woken up just now by my pup jumping into bed (something he’s typically too scared to do without lots of encouragement), rolling his head back onto my pillow, and attacking me with kisses 😍 I sure love this doofus
CS/Q: wasn’t sure whether to put sleep deprived or not. Probably should but that’s just my normal state now so whatever haha
@b_1029 I’m sorry you still aren’t sleeping well. Hope it turns around soon.
The day before we were set to fly home his mom told my husband her flight itinerary (she was flying back to Orlando with us and then to Costa Rica out of an airport 3 hours south of the Orlando airport). He said, “ok, why do I need this info?”’
she expected him to drive her 3 hours south for him to then drive 5-6 hours back up north to where we lived at the time. When it is only 2 hours to where we lived out of the Orlando airport. She flipped out and blamed me for him not driving all around the state of Florida for her when he simply suggested she just rent a car and drive herself.
That was my first clue this lady was nuts.

And I have tried talking to my mil, making her feel included, and welcome. But it’s been almost 14 years of this. I’m done.
@b_1029 I hate those times of terrible sleep. All i can think about all day is when i get to go to bed again, and then when I get to bed I can't even sleep.... hope you get good rest this weekend!
AFM - Still hanging out, but dont really belong here or WTO. I think my body is trying to ruin my vacation and AF is going to come Sunday.

@b_1029 Cheers to puppy kisses!!!!! That makes the day so much better!!
@tyrion_ So sorry your mom got cornered like that. I agree that her not being in an emotional place to defend you makes it even worse.
Month/Cycle: 10/10
CD/DPO: 20/5 (or 4 depending on FF AND Femometer now...)
Timing: Good
Typical LP length: 12-14
Testing: Nope
R/R: Good news: Got my FF CHs! Bad news: FF agrees with Femometer that I O'd the day after my calculations. I tend to not believe it because I compulsively used Wondfos to watch my levels go down to high then low, and I know for a fact I was off peak by the last one of CD15, and at low by the end of CD16. So I'm going with my wondfos!
No matter what, it's Friday! I'm going to get errands done tonight and tomorrow, then Sunday is an extravaganza! Beach with my bestie, then late lunch/early dinner with our friends, then hanging out with MH. I need a day of relaxing! I'll spend the day listening to her tell me about her latest guy, and I'll b*tch about **TW**CS/Q:

@b_1029 Nice looking chart! I hope you get some sleep soon, you must be so miserable.
@mvt2003 I'm sometimes a slow riser, so I i believe my body over FF. Sometimes it takes me 2-3 days to get a temp rise. But either way, your timing looks good!
Month/Cycle: 20/
CD/DPO: 5dpo
Timing: high
Typical LP length: 10-12
Testing: Next Friday
R/R: I'm just so happy it's finally Friday!
CS/Q: Nope, my chart is lame.
@b_1029 I'm sorry your sleep sucks lately. Hopefully it cools down and you get relief soon. But that wake up call sounds adorable, at least!
@millpe FX AF stays away!!!
@mvt2003 Timing was good either way, so try not to stress too much over one day. I hope your lunch with your friend is cathartic and enjoyable for you!
@bows22 Booo CD1
@ruby696 Woo Happy Friday!

R/R: Ugh you guys. My fridge is still not fixed and I could cry. The repair tech came yesterday while I wasn't home and apparently replaced basically every replaceable part in the closed loop system. He plugged it back in, heard everything come on, and left! I got home to a brief note about what he did and a still non-working fridge. They did the same thing a couple of years ago with my oven, and it took 2 visits for them to fix that, and it ended up being the thing I told them was wrong the first time, when they ignored me. I'm so angry. I'm still being nice to them on the phone and he did sincerely apologize at least, but he won't be back until Tuesday. I'm so tired of having to go to the basement every time we need something from the fridge. It makes cooking dinner so difficult, but at least we have the backup fridge now, anyway.
CS/Q: Let the SS and BSC begin! Sore boobs and cramps today. They're actually making more pessimistic than optimistic because the last 2 cycles I had super sore boobs and was 100% convinced that meant I was KU, but I wasn't. Also, MH and I had a drink or two too many last night in celebration of our 11 year first date anniversary, and ended up DTD, and now I'm freaking out that we may have potentially knocked the egg loose because I am A LUNATIC. Please someone smack me now.ETA Fixed timing

I'm sorry you still can't sleep @b_1029. Hopefully, you can get some rest over the weekend! Enjoy your parents visit.
Ugh, I'm sorry you're still in limbo @millpe! Hoping AF stays away completely.
The beach is so good for the soul. Enjoy every minute of it with your bestie @mvt2003!
Ugh, @bows22, nooooooooo I am so sorry for CD 1.
TGIF! @ruby696 Enjoy the weekend
@shamrocandroll I'll join you on the SS/BSC crazy train so you don't feel so alone. Last night in bed I felt all this prickly and weird pinching sensations and was like duh, that's definitely implantation. I feel nothing today and also realized I was only 6dpo so what I was feeling was probably gas/progesterone levels rising/placebo effect. I find I'm at my most insane from 6dpo-9dpo and then I slowly give up hope & end up no longer caring just in time for AF to arrive. The TWW is truly maddening!

R/R: Anyone hate building Ikea furniture as much as me? We've been avoiding it sooo much, it's been in my living room over a week lol. I think we will finally build it tomorrow. On the plus side, I am finally getting a new mattress! So excited for a good nights sleep, we got a good deal on one at Costco!
CS/Q: None!
@shamrocandroll @puppylove8910 I will totally be joining you ladies on the SS train soon haha **TW** I thought maybe after knowing what I felt like being pregnant I would be more chill, but I can tell I am already overanalyzing probably because of the loss 🤦🏻♀️ FX for you ladies!!
