<p>**This is a thread that welcomes all regardless of where they are at in their TTC journeys. Please be mindful of topics that are discussed that could be hurtful to those going through tough times. Mention of children or pregnancies of others should have a TW (trigger warning) and be in a spoiler if possible, and only be mentioned if it is extremely pertinent to the conversation.

Re: WTO Friday 5/28
Month/Cycle: 2
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: BBT, Charting, OPK, CM
R/R: My dog is old and crotchety, not to mention going blind and deaf. I got up, all happy it's Friday, and stepped in a puddle of pee. We leave out pee pads for our dog, but because he can't see very well, he misses them sometimes. It's annoying to find pee spots on the floor, but it also makes me sad because it's a reminder that my dog is probably not going to live for many more years. Or, maybe he will, just to spite everyone. But again, it's Friday and I have a three-day weekend!
CS/Q: I started using my OPKs once per day a couple of days ago. I can't decide if I should wait to start using my OPK strips twice a day, since in my last cycle, FF had dotted crosshairs for O on CD 15. I'm just afraid I'm going to miss my surge if I O sooner than last month, but I don't exactly want to waste OPK strips. That is the question, I suppose!
Month/Cycle: 2/3
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: vitamins, OPKs
R/R: It’s Friday and my last day of work for the summer! This is my first time ever (well, since high school) having a summer without work, and I’m excited but also a little overwhelmed. I don’t know if I’ll be on here more or less without being in the office, haha. Any recommendations on books to put on my summer list? My taste is all over the place, but lately I’ve been reading fantasy and alternate reality.
CS/Q: Nope
@awello Aw, you’re sweet to take such good care of your geriatric pup. I’m not an expert on OPKs by any means, but I would think you’re probably safe to go a few more days before testing twice a day (unless you know you have a super quick surge).
@abjm0325 Excited for your summer without work! I just finished The Alice Network - it was WWI/WWII historical fiction and I loved it! A little mystery, a little action, and a little romance. The writing wasn't great at times but the plot kept me going!
Month/Cycle: 13/12
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: charting, pnv
R/R: So. Close. To. The. Weekend. So, finally ready to share my exciting work news! I got an assistantship through my doctoral program for next year and my superintendent has granted me a leave of absence for the year so I will be helping my advisor on a research project part time and working on my dissertation for the year! I'm thrilled, I'm sure as some of you already know, as my workplace has been a bit hard for me to be in especially this year. So excited to be able to focus on my research and get this darn dissertation done! It's going to be a little bit different for our finances for the year, but we think it will be worth it for my mental health and future career. I'm excited!
CS/Q:
@abjm0325 enjoy your work free summer!
@fameonmain2 that's awesome news!! congrats!
Month/Cycle: 7 AL
CD: uhhhh 6? *checks FF* yes 6
WAYDTGKU: "tracking but not tracking" with OPKs, bbt, CM, GF/DF diet
R/R: oh boy TGIF!! Super excited for the long weekend. We're going to try having people over for a bonfire this weekend but it's been raining since yesterday and I don't know if that will be enough time for things to dry out and actually burn well. We'll see.
CS/Q: I have had steady temps for the last 3 days so I'm hoping for once my WTO side of my chart looks nice instead of like mountainous garbage
at least my TWW temps always look great.

Month/Cycle: 3
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, CM, BBT
R/R: i cannotttttt make myself work today. Practically everyone on my team is off and my manager said we could log off a little early if we’re in a good spot. Also my SIL is in town which means we have like 496007 activities planned and I’m not really looking forward to everything. I’m always happy to see her but MH’s family does the most. I think she leaves Monday so we should get to enjoy 1 day of relaxing 😆 also this is stupid but one of the reasons all the activities bug me is because nothing fits me right now and I feel so uncomfortable in all my clothes. Now that my MIL has made a few comments about me getting back in the gym, plus practically the whole family is on a low carb diet...I’m really self conscious.
CS/Q: just one little dot. No q’s
@anniemarie887 that's basically my feelings today. It's cold, and if it's quiet in our emails and the phones I'm probably going to call it quits at 4 or something. Frankly if you're calling at 4pm or later on a Friday before a 3 day holiday weekend it can't be that important.
@b_1029 thanks for the CD confirmation

@awello aww, poor pupper, but yay long weekend!
@abjm0325 if you like magic/fantasy, I highly recommend the Mageborn series and its followup serieses by Michael G. Manning. The first book is The Blacksmith's son, and there's 11 books total between all 3 series. They're one of my absolute favorite series.
@fameonmain2 yay, congratulations! That's super exciting!
@inthewoods23 ooh, bonfire, I love bonfires. Enjoy the long weekend!
@anniemarie887 we must be semi near each other, it's not supposed to get over 60, and is going to rain on and off for the next 4 days. Boo.
@b_1029 those days when you're one of the only ones working before a holiday always drag, don't they?
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opks, cinnamon supplements
R/R: Math over the summer is very intense, my brain is melting. At least the class is only a month. And I'm happy because we get to spend time with both of our families this weekend.
CS/Q: yay, FF isn't on drugs anymore and realizes I didn't ovulate on CD8!
@inthewoods23 Hope you can have your bonfire!
@anniemarie887 I fully support your decision to close the office early!
@b_1029 I’ve already picked up a side work project of sorts so clearly I don’t actually know how to take time off, haha. Hope you get to log off early today!
