@tessiesmom26 oooo tough call! I usually only get my nails done like twice a year and October is one of them (my birthday and I love Halloween). So I would say keep them and get a spooky design haha!
Month/Cycle: 2/3

WAYDTGKU: Charting, temping, OPKs, prenatals, sex
R/R: The leaves started turning like yesterday up here and I'm excited! I'm going to make pumpkin chocolate chip bread and chili this weekend because, 'tis the season!
CS/Q: Just got back from the OB - I'll post what little they did in the monthly CS/Q. Pretty much waiting for next cycle to test me and sending MH in for a SA.
@jellie603 I craved soup a ton yesterday with it being the low 60s. Went out and got a roasted red pepper and lobster soup

R/R: I love fall, but I hate how cold our house gets. It's that weird time of year where it's not warm enough for the AC, but it's also not cold enough to need the heat on. Normally our house sits in the mid 70s but it's currently 67 brr. I have fleece leggings and fingerless gloves on right now in addition to my hoodie. And apple cider of course! Doing a corn maze with my family this weekend. Should be fun
CS/Q: my opks are being weird this cycle, but no temp bump up yesterday so today must be O day

R/R: Rave: It is freaking Friday Rant: We've been having crazy computer and phone issues at work which makes life real difficult!
CS/Q: I'm going to do another OPK here soon, had a temp spike this AM and EW CM all day! FF says predicated O is on 9/27
@tessiesmom26 - that is tough! a nice mani sounds really good to me!
@jellie603 - fall is the best of all!
@inthewoods23 - Oh I feel you there. Love keeping our windows open at night but then it's real cold when you get out of bed. And today it's going to be like 80 out!
DD: 07/19/18
EDD: 06/22/22
@jellie603 I can’t wait to venture out this weekend to see if the leaves are changing! Pumpkin chocolate chip bread sounds amazing! Mh was asking me to make chili today but I decided on beef stew instead! Lol.

WAYDTGKU: Opk & bbt
R/R: so today was still pretty annoying, with the same things I’ve been dealing with all week- and now a new issue thrown on top. Ugh. But, we had a great date night last night! I picked a place and when we got there it was super packed. So we just drove right past and ended up at a brewery downtown. Their menu left something to be desired and what we got was pretty salty, but their beer was spectacular!! I only really like sours and they had some good choices AND brought back my favorite sour ever from last summer!! So I’m super stoked and we got a 4 pack to go so now I can have some more tomorrow after work!! 😁😁 Sunday we’re going to a local festival (which is my FAVORITE one of the year) and to get our pumpkins after. It’s our yearly tradition!
CS/Q:
@tessiesmom26 decisions stink. Any fun plans for the weekend?
@jellie603 the leaves are starting to turn a bit here too, I love it. Fall is my favorite season.
@inthewoods23 I probably shouldn't tell you what I set my winter thermostat at, you might freeze solid just reading it
I love the freshness of keeping the windows open this time of year, but it's definitely contributing to my wild temp swings
@ajsanders-2 ugh, computer issues suck. I hope they are/were resolved quickly!
@paytonpedro sorry for the frustrating stuff, but the date sounds like it was awesome!
Month/Cycle: 11/11
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opks, cinnamon, metformin for me, vit e and c for him
R/R: getting real tired of the headaches I've had on and off all week. Thought the storms moving through last night would have helped but nope! But going apple picking tomorrow, so that'll be fun!
CS/Q: my poor chart
@jellie603 That pumpkin chocolate chip bread sounds awesome!
@inthewoods23 My house is basically the same. It is freezing (and by "freezing" I mean like 68*, which for me is practically arctic) but I don't want to turn the heat on yet since it's still pretty warm during the day.
@ajsanders-2 I feel you on the computer issues. My classes are on Teams and it's randomly acting up on me tonight.
@paytonpedro Glad you had a fun date night! MH asked to do a date night this weekend. We are celebrating four years since a really turbulent period in our marriage, which seems odd but is a nice way to spin it positively as "Look how far we've come!" Festival and pumpkin picking sounds like a perfect weekend
@fantasyflyte Apple picking is a great idea. I need to put that on my Fall to do list.
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm
R/R: DH's work situation was supposed to be resolved today (undetermined if it would've been positive or negative) but it got pushed to next week. So now I get to hold this anxiety for like five more days
CS/Q: nope
@pinkkillersheep I’m so sorry this stress is dragging on another week for you. But I do love that you celebrate a “look how far we’ve come” anniversary! I think that’s a great thing to acknowledge!
@paytonpedro we've definitely had those mornings of regretting having windows open overnight. Perfect for sleeping but not for waking up lol. Sounds like you had a great date night!
@fantasyflyte I don't have a lot of meat on me so I'm always cold 😆. I've always wanted to go apple picking but never have! I can't get DH to agree to go
@pinkkillersheep I also consider 68 to be freezing. That's the temp in the house right now. I was reading an article somewhere that said you shouldn't turn your heat on until the end of October. I'm not sure where it was from so for all I know it's some place further south of me where temps are still mild into October. We're having lows in the upper 40s right now. I'd say that's deserving of some heat!
