    @b_1029 there's always something extra that requires immediate attention anytime you're fixing or replacing something. It's like a homeowner fact. 😔

    @sevenn Weekends at work suck! Hopefully your work partner will hit the ground running when they come back from vacay! 
  • @emeraldduchess So many FX for BW today!!!!!! 
    @b_1029 glad the dryer situation is even kind of resolved. I would be freaking out over the carbon monoxide too! Hopefully that gets resolved quickly! Sometimes home ownership is for the birds. (This will also tie into my R/R for today so stay tuned lol!)

    @emeraldduchess Just came here to say that I am thinking about you today and have everything crossed for you!
  • Goodmorning ladies! 

    @emeraldduchess FX for you this morning with your bloodwork!! 💕

    @mvt2003 Happy anniversay! I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow! And yes, it’s his turn, always hubbys turn when it comes to dealing with dead animals imo. 😂

    @sevenn FX for crosshairs soon! 

    @b_1029 Home ownership is just the best! 🙄 I hope you get the carbon situation fixed soon, that would stress me out so bad!

    @jrouge12 sorry about the BFN this morning! I’m glad you’ll be able to enjoy the winery though! BBT is the way to go! 

    Month/Cycle: 2/1

    CD/DPO: 26/12

    Timing: -6,-5,-3,-2,0

    Typical LP length: 12-14 

    Testing: WFAF

    R/R: I didn’t have the chance to get on here much at all yesterday. The funeral went well, sad of course, but it was nice to see family that I haven’t seen in a long time. Afterwards we went to lunch with my grandparents that I never see! I’m just going to spend the weekend around the house, and then I have a wedding to photograph Sunday! 

    CS/Q: my temp had dropped to almost CH yesterday and today, so expecting AF any day now. I’ve been sleeping so terribly lately so I’m starting to think my temps are super rocky because of that. Hopefully this shows today. 🙄

  • @sevenn lol to the “if I’m choosing optimism”...same girl, same! Ugh sorry your work partner is still gone which means your life sucks. Hope the weekend goes by quickly at least!

    @mvt2003 awww, happy anniversary! I hope you enjoy celebrating tomorrow.  Gross about the bird, I’d definitely make MH deal with that too! I agree about either having nothing or everything to do on the weekends. Seems like suddenly everyone wants to hang out! 

    @photographerwife glad you were able to spend some time with family yesterday even if it wasn’t for the best reason. Are you temping orally or vaginally? I’m a terrible sleeper and noticed my temps evened out a bit once I switched to temping vaginally. Maybe it’s less sensitive to crappy sleep? Not sure. 
  • @emeraldduchess So sorry for the BFN 😞

     oh @emeraldduchess I’m so sorry. Of course your LP decides to be longer this cycle. Sending ❤️❤️ your way
  • @emeraldduchess I was gone all day and just now popped in to check on you. I’m so sorry for the BFN. Big hugs, lady. 
  • @emeraldduchess so sorry about the results, I’m glad the cycle wasn’t a total busy though! 💕 

    @b_1029 I’m still temping orally right now. I will try vaginally next cycle!
