@iliketurtles, I cut right down the middle- from top to bottom. Then I try to cut up 8-9 pieces on each half, and eat two pieces a day, or more if they are smaller. I eat the meat of the pineapple and the core as well. I'm not sure if it works, I'm just trying it out.

Hugs housecarder & morwen. Do I remember right that we're both in the DC metro area cakewench? I woke up feeling the exact same way. Hopefully it is something in the air that goes away very soon.
Cycle/Month: Cycle 4 (2 AL - benched)
CD/DPO: CD 23/6 DPO
Timing: n/a
Testing Plans: n/a
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: nothing today.
GTKY: Do you and your SO share any hobbies? Not much outside of the usual dates, occasional bike rides and shared TV shows. We have very different interests. That doesn't bother me, but I would love a shared project or passion. I need to get brainstorming.
ETA: hugs to BrewGirl, too. I hope your birthday improves!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: my temp began its slow decline and my back and uterus are cramping so I'm sure AF is coming tomorrow. Testing was just grasping at straws. It just sucks because I thought the IUI would make the difference.
GTKY: Do you and your SO share any hobbies? We play a lot of video games together (Diablo, Bordelands, that type of game) and we both are big needs so we'll go to comic cons and such. We started collecting the Harry Potter wands the past year or so. Eta: We both love food and trying new things, and with my love of cooking it works out well. Many of our dream vacations revolve around something nerdy or something food related.

Sorry about the BFN everyone.
Cycle/month: 6/7
CD/DPO: 31/9dpo
Timing: -3,-4
Testing plans: why bother?
RRCS: day 2 of spotting, just waiting for AF. BFP warning::::::my boss had a meeting today to tell us she's pregnant. I tried not to cry, I took a walk around the block afterwards to clear my head. I told MH and he tells me people are going to get pregnant all the time and I just need to grow a thick skin about it. Uh, thanks.
GTKU: no shared hobbies. We both like to eat, that's about it.

Cycle/Month: 7/8
CD/DPO: 27/8
Timing: O
Testing Plans: If "late."
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: My LP is 13-14 days and last time I started spotting at 12dpo. I'm hoping to make it past 15dpo and actually be pregnant! I did acupuncture yesterday for implantation and the lady explained all the things she could do if I was pregnant and focused on all of that rather than the non-pregnant things. I think she was trying to be positive and give me hope. I feel so negative about this entire process especially since we did the natural IUI. I don't want all this hope going into the cycle, only to end up with a BFN.
GTKY: Do you and your SO share any hobbies? We like puzzles and hanging out outside.
shadesofgold - yup! Sorry you are not feeling well, but I am oddly reassured I'm not the only one, which means it's probably allergies and not something else! (I hope lol)
Hugs for morwen and BrewGirl (and happy birthday to you too - hope your day gets better!)

I'm so sorry youdontsay. That sucks. That news can be hard to take especially as you're expecting AF, and I'm sorry YH didn't respond with the support you most needed. It is 100% okay to feel sad, but do remember that someone else's ability to get pregnant has nothing to do with yours! Hugs.
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Part of me still hopes I might be one of those people with a super ugly chart that winds up pregnant. But, I've been hugging the coverline since I ovulated, so I doubt it.
GTKY: Do you and your SO share any hobbies? Yes! So many... we run together, play board games together, build furniture together, cook together. We are basically insufferable, together...

FX for you. It's such a hard thing to balance hope and realism. Hold on to the positivity
@erin2021, I tried the pineapple thing two months in a row...it totally screwed with my taste buds for a few hours after eating it every night. Everything I ate afterwards tasted funk!
youdontsay, sorry your husband wasn't able to give you the support you needed! I feel like I can relate. A similar situation has happened to me, and MH reacted the same ("don't worry our time will come"). I know he meant well, and was trying to be supportive the only way he really knew how too at the time, and I'm sure your husband was trying to do the same
Cycle/Month: 8/8
CD/DPO: 27/12
Timing: -4,-2,O,O+1
Testing Plans: Trying to stick to Thursday if AF doesn't show
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: My spotting stopped, I feel weird writing it because I don't want to jinx myself! It's just really strange. I really want to test but really don't want too.
GTKY: Do you and your SO share any hobbies? We have a lot of TV series we watch together. We also love to go play keno together (hah!). And we do a lot of home improvement/yard work together. we are actually changing the storm doors when he gets home from work (if I can't convince him to go get dinner and play keno )
Engaged May 2003 Married June 2005 TTC #1 since October 2014 H-1% morph, low motility, low count Me-.1 AMH levels, low AFC, DOR/POI, perimenopause Foster Care journey begins March 2016-licensed 11/7/16 Foster parents to A & J 1/31/17 www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5525ef
I just finished up at my appointment. She's having betas drawn to rule out anything tubal. She said she wants to play it safe just in case my chart is off. After that is ruled out I have an appointment with her again next week to do an ultrasound and start discussing options.
GTKY: Do you and your SO share any hobbies? Yup....
We both like cooking/baking, gardening, canning, reading(different likes in literature though), crafting, volunteering, etc
MH and I volunteer tutoring elementary school kids one evening a week. Thanks for reminding me that we do meaningful things together - I was feeling sad about calling TV watching a shared hobby.
Same-Sex Couple TTC Baby #1
Married: 5/31/13 ❤️
Jan 2015 - Cancelled cycle due to immature follicles
Feb 2015 - IUI #1 (Letrozole) - BFN
March 2015 - Cancelled cycle due to early ovulation

GKU May Siggy Challenge: SomeECard
Testing Plans: I'm thinking Saturday or Sunday. Every time my DPO hits double digits, I feel the urge to test. But I'm trying to hold out until then, especially since our timing wasn't great because of my late O.
R/R/CS: I forgot to temp this morning which annoys me.
GTKY: We like similar tv shows, road trips, and we also enjoy going to sporting events together.

Sorry for all of those have a not so good Tuesday.
Happy bday BrewGirl, I hope you love your earrings!
Cycle/Month: 2/2
CD/DPO: 29/13
Timing: -1 at least
Testing Plans: Still waiting until tomorrow at least, which should be CD1 or maybe nothing!
Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Nothing much today, was just thinking "It's weird how our brains can make us feel all of these possible pregnancy symptoms, but we can't quite manage to think ourselves pregnant"
GTKY: Do you and your SO share any hobbies? We never used to, but we have been more and more lately. Golf, biking, gardening, and recently we've started playing drop-in soccer together which is way more awesome than I thought it'd be!
