Re: TWW Fri-YAY 2.12

  • Month/Cycle: 7/1AL

    CD/DPO: 24/7

    Timing: -5, -4, -3, -1, O, +1

    Typical LP length: 11

    Testing: Trying to hold out for 2/17 but my guess is I’ll cave Monday at 10dpo

    R/R: It’s Friday...need I say more? And I don’t have to leave the house today for any meetings. Woohoo! 

    CS/Q: I think I’ve asked this before...but thoughts on drinking til it’s pink or abstaining during the TWW?

    @sienna221 I have always been Team Drink Til It's Pink....but be responsible about it. I'd have a few glasses of wine or something, but I wouldn't get drunk.


  • @sienna221 I’m firmly in the drink til it’s pink camp, but if I get to the point where I could reasonably turn a positive (so like 10 dpo) I won’t drink without testing. 
  • @sienna221 I'm team haven't drank alcohol for 3.5 years with maybe 2 exceptions 😂. I wasn't a big drinker to begin with so I don't feel I'm missing out.

    Month/Cycle: 3AL

    CD/DPO: 24/8

    Timing: -5, -3, -1

    Typical LP length: 13 days

    Testing: sunday

    R/R: the 2 interviews we did this morning went well. I actually liked both of them. Hopefully that means we get a new team member soon! In other news, I bought some instant yeast yesterday because I need cinnamon rolls back in my life. Never made from scratch before besides cookies so I'm crossing fingers they taste good tomorrow!

    CS/Q: temps still good. Might post chart later because I'm lazy

  • @sienna221 I’ve always been a drink til it’s pink lady myself! But I am not a heavy drinker, but wine during the week often! A baby isn’t attached to the mother until 6 weeks anyway, and lives off of the “yolk” until the placenta has started to form! M


    Sorry to pop In and go! I haven’t had much free time to catch up here this week! 💕
  • @inthewoods23 YUM! Please post pic in baking/crafting thread so I can live vicariously through you. Also, great that you have two candidates you like! Hiring is tough. Is there one that you think would mesh better than the other?

    CD/DPO: 21/5

    Timing: -4, -1

    Typical LP length: 15 days 

    Testing: If AF doesn't show

    R/R: Rave: It's Friday! No plans this weekend other than nails, desperately need them done. So excited to just relax.

    CS/Q: None

  • @misspricklepants I will definitely have to post a pic! I plan on making them tomorrow morning while DH is out of the house. I liked both of them and think either of them could do the job. I do have one slight preference based on skillset and their engineering mindset of that individual. My coworker has a slight preference for the other :D so yeah, we're going to have a fun discussion on Monday when we go over the candidates. DH told me to make sure my voice is heard and make my feelings known. I might have to spend the weekend writing my pluses down for each person so I have my talking points come Monday.

  • @inthewoods23 yes, make yourself heard! I feel like if they’re equally capable of doing the job it ultimately comes down to who can not only fit in, but contribute positively to the existing dynamic. On the baking note, I saw an article today about some guy on Tik Tok who bakes things to mimic its emoji and now I REALLY want to make pretzels haha. Link in spoiler!
