WTDS 5/30

[amandamh2]

This is the Waiting to do Something thread posted once a week (usually on Mondays - sometimes not) for those of us that experience long, extended cycles. Whether it's medicated cycles, long (45ish + days) cycles, postpartum/breastfeeding, TTA, on the bench, or something else, this is the place we gather throughout the week to discuss and vent about our slightly unique situation.

Numbers:

Circumstances:

RRNFNSQ:

GTKY: What did everyone do for Memorial Day weekend? Or for my fellow Canadians, what did you do last weekend for Victoria Day?

[nuggetrn]

Thanks for starting amandamh2!!

Numbers: CD39 AL

Circumstances: TTA for 3 cycles

RRNFNSQ: I have been spotting for the last 8 days. Sometimes heavier than others. For a minute I thought I was actually starting some kind of a flow but just kidding!! Which I totally expected... It's just super fun.

GTKY: We have been doing yard work ALL WEEKEND! I am so exhausted and we are not even close to being done. We laid sod on Saturday, just me, my husband, and a landscaper friend. Then we wandered around the yard deciding where to plant the 9 trees that we had purchased. Went to Lowes to buy dirt and ended up buying 7 more trees. Very large privacy trees that were marked 50% off and an amazing deal. We came home and planted those. Sunday afternoon we planted 5 more trees. This morning we planted 4 trees. We still have 2 more trees to plant at the front of our lot. We are waiting to do that though until we get tree watering bags so that we don't have to try to water things with the hose all the way at the front of the lot. DH had a family thing to do today and while he was gone I planted 3 boxwoods and 4 dwarf evergreen trees in the garden bed in front of the house. I need to water everything tonight and I am crazily thinking about planting the other 3 bushes yet tonight.

I am EXHAUSTED. Need tomorrow off too

Whyyyyyyy is no one talking today?

[amandamh2]

That does sound busy nuggetrn! Totally with you on long weekends always mean doing more and wishing you had another extra day haha. Hope the spotting either becomes something real or quits, that doesn't sound fun at all.

Numbers: 1st PP cycle, CD 19

Circumstances: TFAS, waiting to see what PP BFing cycles look like

RRNFNSQ: So no idea what to expect this cycle but this could very well be my first TWW. I'm fully prepared for things to be long and weird so will not get ahead of myself and test if I go slightly over my "regular" cycle length. I'm just glad not to feel like a crazy person taking random tests over the most vague symptoms just in case.

GTKY: Last weekend we traveled to see some friends a province over which was really fun. It was a mix of childhood/high school friends, college friends, and friends we made at our last posting. We hadn't seen them for anywhere from 5 months to 1.5 years so it was really great to catch up. Since DH is jumping right back into crazy training we won't have much time for visiting anyone for a while again which made it an extra special break.

I know, so dead! There was no thread at all last week either. Must be busy times for everyone.

[nuggetrn]

I guess! Waiting to do something used to be really busy! I have gotten really lax at starting it as well and I used to a lot. I hope everyone realizes that it really doesn't matter who starts it!

I need to know the states of my friends uteruses

[nuggetrn]

Ah! Good luck amandamh2!! So glad your cycle is back up and running!! Good luck to you!

[amandamh2]

I know, it was so busy around here when I first joined in last summer! A lot of people have moved on since then I guess and not so many new people joining in.
If this cycle isn't really weird I probably should stop pretending to be WTDS but this check in has been my home for so long it feels weird to think about leaving.

Feel free to stay as long as you would like! If you want to get a few PP cycles in before you make your exit... No one is going to kick you out!

Numbers: c5/m10, CD 30

Circumstances: TFAS with hypothyroidism and using metformin for suspected PCOS.

RRNFNSQ: FF is drunk. It seems to think I o'd on cd25. Based on my chart I don't see how that is even possible.

GTKY: What did everyone do for Memorial Day weekend? Or for my fellow Canadians, what did you do last weekend for Victoria Day?
For Victoria day weekend we planted our veggy garden, and my ILs took DS for an overnight so that DH and I could celebrate our anniversary.

[amandamh2]

What did you plant in your veggie garden @sparky85? I just got mine in this past weekend.

We planted cucumbers, zuchini, baby tomatoes, radishes, string beans, carrots, parsnips, beets, potatoes and watermelon. All in a 4 foot square raised bed.

What did you plant?

nuggetrn sorry about the spotting, that sucks!
And way to go with all the yard work! I need to get my butt in gear with my yard.

amandamh2 hi fellow Canadian! Did you have awesome weather last weekend too? I couldn't believe how beautiful it was.

@sparky85 hi other fellow Canadian! Happy belated anniversary!

Numbers: CD 104

Circumstances: TFAS in a few months if this cycle ever ends...

RRNFNSQ: I've got nothing.

GTKY: Canadian so last weekend was our holiday and was DS's 1st birthday! We celebrated on his actual bday which was Sunday. It was so great to have family and friends over. My MIL completely hogged DS all day which I am still bitter about but whatever. Releasing it to the lord.
My H had the week leading up to it off and we actually painted our entire main floor, put in new baseboards, and repaired/sanded/primed drywall in the basement. I couldnt believe we finished in time for DS's party.

[amandamh2]

Sounds like an awesome garden @sparky85! I planted tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, carrots, peas, beans, dill, parsley, and cilantro in my two raised planters.

What a busy week for you guys obi! For the most part we had great long weekend weather, just a bit of rain one day but it was during nap time anyway haha. FX your cycle ends soon!
