RRCS: I never remember my dreams. But of course the dream I do remember last night was me changing a (mine?) newborn baby's cloth diaper in a public bathroom without a change table. The baby slipped out of my hands but was ok! It woke me up 3.5hrs before my alarm and never really got back to sleep. Very depressing way to start a Tuesday. F*** you subconscious, F*** you.
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? I like to bake at home alot so I would choose to be a baker in my own bakery.
RRCS:I'm still side eyeing my CHs but temp was still up today so I'm going with it. I believe they are a day or two off but it will all come out in the wash.
GTKY: I always think about becoming a graphic designer, but I'm a bit far in my career to do a 180 now. I would also love to open a bakery/board game cafe with paper goods and little things for sale. Money would have to not be an option so I doubt that will ever happen but I definitely dream about it a lot
Testing Plans: BFN yesterday. Not sure if I will again.
RRCS: BFN yesterday. Temp spike this morning to mess with my head. I have an interview later today. My boobs are ridiculously swollen and I have serious concerns about how my suit is going to fit. Ugh.
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? I really need to get my act together on go back for my MLIS.
RRCS: I'm ridiculously hopeful for this first IUI. Thanksgiving will be very disappointing if I get a BFN.
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? I think interior designer/decorator would be fun! Unfortunately, there is absolutely no market for that around where I live.
RRCS: temp spiked today but it's always high when I stay in hotels for some reason, trying not to read too much into it.
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? I'd run a horse farm with boarding and training and rehab horses and do a nonprofit program bringing kids with emotional/physical challenges to the farm to work around the horses and learn with riding as a reward. And then I'd write novels. Also...anything other than what I currently do, ha.
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
Cycle/Month: 14 CD/DPO: 14/1 Timing: -2, IUI on O Testing Plans: nope, not gonna do it (ha I say that now) RRCS: forgot to temp this morning but maybe better that way, I think I might just not bother GTKY: I think I would possibly be an event planner.
GL with your interview, @wallflwr926! Sending you all the good vibes.
Cycle/Month: 11s
CD/DPO: 29/13
Timing: Eh
Testing Plans: Nope
RRCS: Temp started dropping - guessing CD1 will be tomorrow or Thursday and then I can head to WTDS for my TTA cycle.
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? This is HARD - there are a million things I'd want to do. I love my current job, to the extent that I'd probably keep doing it even if I won one of those ridiculously large lotteries. I think I'd go for high school science teacher maybe?

Cycle/Month: 16/21
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: -4, O which FF still marks as good!
Testing Plans: I keep saying Monday 11/23 but I'm already reconsidering like wouldn't I rather have my hopes dashed on a Sunday? I don't think it matters! I'm testing all the days!
RRCS; My temperature almost touched cover line today, I thought progesterone supplements kept temps high...now I'm wondering if it isn't working properly...
GTKY: I would love to run a dog rescue! Of course, I would make zero dollars from that so DH would have to be rolling in the dough.
I would also love to be a stay at home foster mom. We've been considering foster care for awhile but would most likely only take expected long term placements but if I could stay at home, I'd be willing to take emergency placements. Although DH would also have to be bringing in the big bucks for us to survive!
Our plans for foster care keep getting pushed back, after the wedding, after we move to the new house, and then we were all set and my sister went through a divorce so now she and her kids live with us...so on hold again!
RRCS: So I got my lab results back yesterday from my CD21 test. My thyroid test came back normal. My progesterone was "a little low". Here's the thing, I don't have regular 28 days cycles. They average 33-35 days. Shouldn't they be testing later?
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? Become an RN.

Cycle/Month: 10's
CD/DPO: 28/9
Timing: twice
Testing plans: None
RRCS: I'm feeling less optimistic about this cycle. Yesterday, I was feeling cautiously optimistic for no reason but today, I feel like I'm going to be staying my temp drop soon. Idk. Meh. And the weather is gross so that doesn't help.
GTKY: Mine is similar to wannabmama. I would want to run a non-profit retirement home for horses who are considered unadoptable or are simply older and haven't been picked up in x amount of months from a rescue.
Testing Plans: I want to hold out until at least 12 dpo (Nov 11/23) but I'm sure I'll start testing at 10dpo (Nov 21)
RRCS: I've been extremely tired the past 2-3 days. I know that means nothing
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? I went to school to be an event planner but I'm so much of perfectionist that its too stressful. I think I would own a shop that sold all things monogrammed.
RRCS: Not feeling it anymore. Just waiting to see a second RE to give us the stats on IVF and then work on getting the house ready to start the fostering/adopting process starting in the new year.
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? I love reading so librarian. I did work in a library when I was in college.

Cycle/Month: 6/8 AL
CD/DPO: 35/6
Timing: -4, -2, O
Testing Plans: 13DPO in no AF
RRCS: I hate waiting. I just want to know!
GTKY: I would be a freelance writer of some kind. Maybe writing for a magazine or something. But there's so much uncertainty with a career like that. I would love to just write all day.
RRCS: Apparently I did not forget my thermometer like I thought I did. It's useless trying to temp here, though, since my body is still on eastern time and waking up at inconvenient hours.
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? This changes all the time, but right now I think I'd go back to school for medieval history/literature and research ancient books.
Testing Plans: None at the moment, especially with FF being uncooperative.
RRCS: Still no CH despite 7 days of elevated temps. WTF FF?
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? Maybe a dog behaviorist, which would combine my love of animals with my love of psychology.

Goodluck on your interview @wallflwr926 Hugs! daisy818 GL tmrw wannabmama! Hugs butlerfan! caz1221, maybe FF is confused because your positive opk is a few before you temp shift. Hopefully you get CHs soon!
Cycle/Month: 1/1
CD/DPO: 24/7
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing Plans: Saturday
RRCS: ::sigh:: My temps are still hugging my coverline.
GTKY: I love to bake so I would probably open my own cupcake and cake shop. I also love planning parties so I could be an event planner too.
Post by penguin129 on Nov 17, 2015 12:22:22 GMT -5
I meant to temp this morning so I can at least see my temps and if there is a dip before AF would arrive, but didn't remember until I took a drink of water. Is it a silly idea to only temp half the month after I o'd?
Post by notagoddess on Nov 17, 2015 12:30:53 GMT -5
I'm loving everyone's dream careers. I can't believe I don't have one, how lame.
Best of luck today, @wallflwr926! You've got this!
Sorry for all BFNs and temp drops today. Big hugs to those who need them.
Cycle/Month: 8 AL
CD/DPO: 20/6
Timing: Good
Testing Plans: Not sure. See below.
RRCS: I was going to test this weekend, but I am very busy with several important deadlines. I will either test then or hold out until Monday, doing whatever will minimize my stress and anxiety.
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? I have no idea!

Cycle/Month: 3
CD/DPO: 29/8
Timing: good
Testing Plans: nope, last month I was 8 days late and got my hopes up too high so this month I'm overly pessimistic!
RRCS: above
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? House flipping, you know if I could just design how I want the house and then someone else with the money and skills actually do the work lol

Cycle/Month: 17/14
CD/DPO: 24/12
Timing: -2, O
Testing Plans: I was going to test this morning but I feel like shit. I knew I was getting sick last night and then woke up today with this nasty head congestion crap. So I figured I'd wait. Plus I only have one FRER and it's one of those stupid new ones. So I guess Thursday if I don't have my period by then. FF predicts CD1 or test day tomorrow but a 24 day cycle is short even for me. They normally average 25 to 28 days.
RRCS: Nothin really today.
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? I think I would like to own one of the small restaurants/bakery type places on Main Street in our town. They're just the best.
Testing Plans: I don't know. I'm generally someone who doesn't test until 15 dpo and no period signs (so I never test), but I'm antsy this cycle. If no spotting today and another temp rise, I may test tomorrow at 12 dpo. But I should probably wait - I'll see how hopeful I am in the morning.
RRCS: One hour I'm feeling like I'm definitely going to see a BFP in the coming days. The next hour I'm convinced I'm spotting. On the crazy train for sure!
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do? I'd love to be a meteorologist, but not just someone who reads the weather on tv. Storm chasing would be so awesome!!
Post by vancitygirl on Nov 17, 2015 21:09:26 GMT -5
@wallflwr926 sorry for the BFN--but maybe you're only 9dpo and it's too early? FX for you. wannabmama, thechickencoop, and rungirlrun fx for you tomorrow! daisy818 sorry for impending cd1. big hugs
Cycle/Month: 10/7al
CD/DPO:22/8dpo
Timing:pretty amazing lol but what does that mean
Testing Plans: I dunno I keep cycling back and forth between wanting to test this weekend and just waiting it out till AF comes
RRCS: umm 8dpo and I'm the engineer on the crazy train
GTKY: If you had the choice of a second career and money and education was not a factor, what would you decide to do?
Hmm...I would love to write. I write a lot in my free time but not as much as I would wish to. I want to publish books and sit and write childrens books and novels. Ah. Dreams.
