R/R/CS: had the worst indigestion ever last night and started to hop on the crazy train. Then reminded myself that I ate a bison burger and duck confit fries, took a zantac, and went to sleep.
GTKY: Who is your favorite author? I cannot name just one but I will say my FIRST favorite author was Chuck Palahniuk.
Testing plans: Next week if no spotting. Trying to hold out at least until CD11.
R/R/CS: My usual progesterone?-related symptoms have disappeared since my cp. Every cycle, like clockwork, my lp consisted of a mild yeast infection, horrible breakouts, and incredibly tender boobs. Last month and this month those symptoms have been absent. I have no idea what this means but on the bright side its nice to not have to deal with those issues.
GTKY: Who is your favorite author? I'm a sucker for the Russians - Nabokov & Dostoevsky, also Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
R/R/CS: I'm still sore from ovulating/maybe cysts?/wtf body? I'm going to let it go this time but if I do this again next cycle I'm calling the doc. I'm also ridiculously bloated and wanting to eat everything in sight. This is how I normally feel when I have my period.
GTKY: Who is your favorite author? It changes. I pretty much read everything. One of my fav series is A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness.
I love this series! Thanks for reminding me to see if the next book has come out. Great summer reading
The last book of the Trilogy came out last year around this time. The Book of Life. Fun fact: One of my best friends is living/working in England for a few years and she met Deborah Harkness at a book signing when The Book of Life came out last year. So awesome! She visited Oxford recently and sent pictures in front of All Souls College and the Bodleian.

R/R/CS: well.. I'm still here. Temps are high, tender boobs, but nothing else. No signs of AF coming. I got a BFN yesterday and at 10 DPO. Once again, I'm still confused. Two people asked yesterday if I am pregnant because "my boobs are bigger".. Maybe I'll test again tomorrow or Saturday if temps are still high and if AF is not here. I really just want to know one way or the other to be honest. Sorry for the dear diary.
GTKY: Who is your favorite author? JK Rowling and Roald Dahl

Testing plans: BFN today. Tested since im confused about my O date and I take meds. Can't fool around with that crap. I had some more spotting today so I'm done testing now.
R/R/CS: FF changed my O date a few times. So i'm somewhere between 14 and 9 dpo. My chart is just off this cycle and i'm pretty over it.
GTKY: Who is your favorite author? David Sedaris and Franz Kafka.
R/R/CS: I manually changed my CHs to from cd12 to CD18, I guess only time will tell if that's even the case. I hate this cycle and I hate FF right now. I'm so burnt out on TTC right now.
GTKY: Who is your favorite author? I love Philippa Gregory for her historical fiction about King Henry VIII and the women of that time. I also have read every Barbra Kingslover book. She so witty.

to you adorebel - sorry for the BFN. Like you said, you aren't out yet! And also, you have such good taste. The Hours is my all-time favorite book. I actually met Michael Cunningham - it was so magical. He signed my book and it is one of my most prized possessions. I also made a fool of myself in front of Jeffrey Eugenides when he was signing my copy of Middlesex because I was so flabbergasted to be near him that I literally was speechless. Not my finest moment. Also, I love Lolita! You teach English, right? I don't think I caught what grade/level or area you teach.
easilyunamused, I LOOOOOOOVED The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. Any other recommendations from her?
All of them! Haha I would go with the constant princess. That tells Queen Katherine's side of that story. And really just go from there. She has so many great books about that time period and they are all told from the women's point of view.

Awesome!
I really need to convince my SO to get Prime so I can lend books from them on my Kindle instead of spending ALL the money. I see a lot of reading in my future given my summer off.

I know, I've bought quite a bit, but I got most of them from the library because she has at least 20. I spend way too much money on books.

My SO does too. We have like 3 dozen Stephen King books alone... nevermind all our others. Dream is to have a house one day with a library.
Congratulations, mishy2010!! Have a happy and healthy 9 months!
Cycle/Month: 12/11
CD/DPO: 20/8 (or possibly 7, but I think 8)
Timing: Decent
Testing plans: None for now - maybe if I'm still here in a week
R/R/CS: I feel torn right now. After almost a year of TTC, I obviously wish I were already pregnant (or had a kid!) by now. However, I'm in the middle of interviewing for new jobs OMG JUST GOT A JOB OFFER!!! (have a cool opportunity to obtain a federal fellowship position, and it's not something I can postpone) and it would not be ideal to have to go on maternity leave less than a year after starting work. If this cycle does not work out I'm toying with the idea of TTA for a while, which is probably smart but kind of breaks my heart. Adulting sucks sometimes.
GTKY: Who is your favorite author? Maybe Joseph Campbell? That's a really tough call.

Agreed - the whole Tudor series is good, but Constant Princess, OBG, and the last one about Mary Queen of Scots were my favorites (if you watch Reign right now, you might really enjoy that one).
I also really liked the White Queen/Red Queen/White Princess series (White & Red Queen is what the Starz series was based on.)

Congrats on the job offer achromia! It sounds like a bittersweet moment in life, but be sure to properly celebrate! Even if it means some trade-offs, this sounds like a wonderful opportunity and you should be proud of yourself!

Thanks girl! I used to teach high school, now university.

Cycle 2, Month 3 ( Benched from January - March) CD 27, 9 DPO Timing: -3, 0 No plans to test until at least Monday. Or maybe not at all. I am pretty sure PMS is already started as I am bloated and eating all the foods in sight today.
Fav author: If I had to choose one, it would be James Patterson. I love to read just about anything though.
