    Testing: BFN this morning

    H and I had fun at our parties Friday and then had a fun day trip Saturday after my morning theater teaching. This week is also short for me because my BILs wedding is this weekend in CA and I’m heading out early to hang with a friend.

    CS/Q: None but gonna start charting/temping more if AF starts.

    R/R: Thank goodness for daylight savings. It was SO nice driving to work this morning when it’s not pitch black. I don’t even care that it gets darker earlier. 

    CS/Q: Nope. My temp is still going up, but I’m trying not to let my hopes do the same. 

  • @ssbl We'll be outside of San Fran! I've been a few times but plan on doing a walking tour Thursday since my friend will be at work and H is coming on Friday and some of my main plans include eating dim sum and going to the brick and mortar Rothys store (I'm a bit obsessed with their shoes lol).

    CS/Q: no


    @kpearse99 FX for you! One week to go until answers!

    @pocketrose that sounds so fun! I've always wanted to go to SF.

    @ssbl I loved the extra hour of sleep yesterday! But then by 5pm it felt like the day had been 700 hours long hahaha.

    @kmalls Did you do coordinating outfits with everyone?? 

  • @mama_mea live football games are so much fun!

  • @kmalls holiday photos with extended family for me are usually a shit show because there's so many of us lol. On my mom's side we've actually gone to a studio to have some done, it was always just in the family room at my grandparent's house. Always somebody running to get themselves into position after hitting the timer button. Oh gosh lol.

    @pocketrose haha I like cold weather too but hate feeling cold! We hover somewhere in the 30s or 40s this week. A bit cold for fall, but I could do without the snow we got on Halloween! Keep that away for a least a few weeks Mother Nature.

    @ssbl I wish the time change was enough to make the sun rise before me! But I'll take the little bit of extra light going to work. Now I have to remind myself to go out for walks in the sunny days to get some vitamin D with it being dark when work is over.

    @kpearse99 hope you don't catch what YH has! Also I totally read your "betas in 7 days" in the voice from The Ring 😆

    @mama_mea what game did you go see? I've only ever had the chance to see preseason games since Packers tickets are very hard to come by!

    @ssbl you’re definitely not out, I’ve got my fingers crossed for you! 

    @mama_mea jealous!! NFL games are the best, tailgating is my absolute favorite fall activity. As far as our pictures went, we did complementing colors but not ultra coordinated by any means. I’m not a big of crazy matching clothes for pics anyway, I feel like it looks kinda cheesy. 

    @inthewoods23 yessss decor shopping is the best! I went to home goods this weekend and had to stop myself from overflowing my cart with ridiculous Christmas items (a singing snowman? YES PLEASE :D) And girl, your chart looks pretty!! 

    @kpearse99 oh no, a man cold in your house? I’m so sorry, I’ll pray for you :s

  • @kmalls hahaha thank you! He's actually not bad and is pretty good when he's sick. Thankfully he took the day off (which he NEVER does when he is sick) so he can rest up.

  • Month/Cycle: TTC X3months (and 3 cycles actively) few months before that we were “just going to see what happens if we pull the goalie (ie BCP)”

    CD/DPO: 22/1

    Timing: every damn day during my fertile window! 

    Typical LP length: varies, last month was 10 days so fingers crossed this one is longer 

    Testing: On the 13th!

    R/R: I have been trying to temp this cycle but I always wake several times during the night so my temps are all wonkey and I don’t know if I can rely on them! I absolutely O’d yesterday as I had every single symptom but my temp only increased 0.3 this morning so will see how it acts the next few days! 

    CS/Q:

  • @beckylookatherbump yes, good memory! I’m happy my chart looks good and it seems pretty clear I O’d this cycle, which I wasn’t sure would happen so soon after the Mirena came out. So fingers crossed things will just get better from here!  Also — lady, your timing looks great! Not crappy in the least. 
  • @dawn_tay every day In your FW?! Super impressive!

  • @inthewoods23 we're Seattle based, so it was the Seahawks game! We were gifted some tickets from DHs coworker. We tried to hit up the tailgate but didn't get there early enough! I love tailgating too!

    @beckylookatherbump I got a good LOL out of your "testing" comment. I said I was gonna wait too but I'm over here testing like crazy even though it's way too early hahaha!
  • @kpearse99 it’s definitely your lucky cycle. Now I just hope I can join you in the bmb. Also I’ve been using the pregnant till your not and I’m hoping my little eggs get the message and get fertilized lol 
    @dawn_tay I bow down to anyone who can do everyday during fw. I’m pretty sure my husband would leave me. 
    @kmalls given how your temp was a bit wonky the first few days I wonder if you O’d later so you are really early in the tww. 
    @mama_mea I always say I’m gonna wait till 10 days and the start peeing on cheapies at like 8 when there 0% chance anything will show but it helps keep my emotions in check.
