Re: WTO Tuesday 4.13
Month/Cycle: 4/4
R/R: So last month was crazy and stressful and we took a TTC break, didn't chart or anything. Since I wasn't really tracking I didn't catch a temp shift but I noticed a lot of fertile CM around CD 14-16 which is super duper unusual for me but I thought my body was faking me out. Then cramps woke me up in the middle of the night Sunday night to Monday morning and I thought hmm... and started spotting last night. So I'm pretty sure I O'd early, the first time I've O'd that early since the first month I got off of BC (I'm usually a CD 20-22 kinda girl). Now I'm interested to see if this is a continuing trend or what!
Also re: your early O, cycles are weird and frustrating sometimes...you think you've got a good pattern going and BAM! Different.
@fameonmain2 hey! both sad to see you back here but also glad to see you? is that weird? sorry about AF but fx that good CM and earlier O stay with you this cycle!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
R/R: IT IS SO SUNNY AND WARM!!!!! I am sad to be inside an office for the majority of the days this week but am excited for getting off work and getting to go outside while it's still clear and warm
CS/Q: pretty sure O happened two days ago between the CM/opk/bbt, just waiting for that third higher temp and (hopefully) some crosshairs before switching over to TWW.
</div><div>R/R: WFH is humming along, but I still have to connect my extra monitor, shift the rug over, just some setup stuff like that so I'm a bit more comfortable... I might even break out the bouncy ball to sit on, cos man - I am not used to sitting still all day at the computer like this. Rave, I guess is I get to chat for 20 min with (hopefully someone who can become) a mentor of sorts at work tomorrow.... I just have to gather my thoughts bc I'm really not sure how I want to approach it. 🤔

@pajamstagrams ooh! That sounds wonderful! IKWYM about the ceilings and the white - in our house when we moved in we didn't paint all the ceilings and I just lurve the rooms that have that nice fresh, bright white up top! You don't even realize how dingy it gets until it's painted. Although, there is a mark / stain on the ceiling in the room I'm in right now, I would absolutely love for DH to help me retouch, bc it drives me bonkers lol<div>
@chgilmore. It is beautiful here, too! I hear you with the humidity - blech. I can do without that, but I love the warm temps otherwise. Hope to get outside on my lunch break!</div>
@chgilmore thanks! Of course want to move on from here but I love the support of this group
It looks gorgeous outside here too! But I haven't been able to step out yet. Teaching from home today since there's a COVID cluster at my school.
@BusinessWife that's exciting about the possible mentor! Hope the conversation goes well! Nice to have someone to rely on when you need to reach out for help or guidance.
Unfortunately you can't actually tell much of a difference on camera, our natural light is that bad 😂 but in person, you definitely can. But here are the colors: top is what we're changing to (incredible white), it's a bit less yellow, and a tad darker. In person, both look waaaay lighter. Bottom is what we currently have (dover white). I wanted agreeable gray, but alas, it was just too dark for our house.
@BusinessWife yeah, our walls are super dingy from the dog/feet/etc touching them. Flat paint shows EVERYTHING. 🥴
@fameonmain2 you O'ed early while I'm over here like where TF are my CHs in FF
R/R: boy has it been a busy day today at work! Didn't exactly help that I scheduled a haircut for 11:30. I got 4 inches cut off! I haven't had my hair this short since 3 years ago. My ends were really gross and dry and just needed to go. Major rave - we have confirmation we are a GO for our electrical panel upgrade tomorrow!! Sadly with my coworker on PTO I couldn't take the day off to be home with DH while the work gets done. My electrical engineer heart might just weep at the sight of a beautifully labeled panel 😭😭

Also I'd love to paint our garage brighter, but that would require us to "re-home" the daddy long leg colony that lives there 😂 as someone terrified of spiders, I honestly don't know how I'm not more afraid of them whenever I work out in the garage. But I guess they don't move 🤷♀️
@chgilmore I'm still checking CM and I thought it finally turned back to creamy today but uhhh.... TMI EWCM was dripping out last time I went to the bathroom so that's still hanging around 😐 cervix is still HSO too... good thing my free 25 pack of pregmate OPKs came in the mail the other day so I might do an OPK in the morning until I get my temp bump confirming O JUST to be sure.
