Re: WTO Monday 11/1
I'll kick this off with a post and ghost because work is insane haha.
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: Charting, temping, OPKs, pnv, sex, prelim testing for MH and I
R/R: I bowled an awesome game by myself this weekend! Like I said before, I bowl candlepin usually but they don't have that in my town I guess. I'm thinking of joining a league but I'm new to 10 pin.
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: temping, OPKs, vitamins
R/R: Back in WTO. Meh. On the plus side, I have been able to get the house more organized than it's ever been. Still have some things to sort out but it's a big improvement. Had friends over Saturday night which was a nice distraction from CD1.
CS/Q: AF came just as expected on Saturday after an 11-day LP. After that, I am confident on my override of FF for O date. With an early O and sub-14 LP, my last cycle was only 24 days, so I'm considering it nice that I didn't have my hopes up for too long. Silver linings?@Paturkey Ugh, sorry for CD 1 but the shorter cycle when it's disappointing is certainly a slight perk.
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: Opks, vitamins
R/R: I think today is O day, so I'll hang out here one more day before scooting over to TWW. We had good timing this month, which almost makes it worse in terms of being hopeful. Of course, if we didn't have good timing I'd be sad about that so apparently I just cant be happy, lol. I am so tired today that this may be a two cup of coffee day. Halloween on a Sunday night is kind of brutal.
CS/Q: Nope@Paturkey Sorry about CD1, but I like your silver lining about the short cycle!
@abjm0325 Today is TOTALLY a 2 cup of coffee day!
Month/Cycle: 4/4AL
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: all the things
R/R: We are finally back into our house. We got power back at 6pm Saturday so we packed up everything we had brought to my parents and came home yesterday. Didn't have time to grocery shop to replace everything we lost, and we won't have cable or internet until Friday, but we are back home which is nice. DH has been going back and forth with insurance and they will cover a lot, but not everything. Today has been such a Monday too. Hopefully things will get back to normal soon!
CS/Q: I'm pretty sure O was yesterday but I am hanging here today just to be sure. Of course with everything that happened, our timing was not as great as we were hoping, but I am hoping it was good enough!Married 10/28/17

@jellie603 MH comes from a long line of 10 pin bowlers in his family and that is a seriously impressive score! Awesome! As for your question about your results, I think maybe the monthly Chart Stalk/Questions thread might be a good place to put that as you may get more eyes on it than if it were buried in one of the dailies.

@tessiesmom26 So glad you're back in your house. Hopefully you can get everything sorted sooner rather than later.
@Paturkey sorry about CD1
@abjm0325 I agree, it was definitely a second cup of coffee day yesterday. My issue with that is that I need something sweet to go with that cup haha
@tessiesmom26 thank goodness you are back in your own house! I'm sorry insurance won't cover everything - its not like you asked for a tree to fall on everything you own!
