RRCS: My hours got cancelled at work last night, which was good because DS does, indeed, have HFMD. He's fine, but contagious so he can't go to daycare.
GTKY: Favorite part? Haha. Um, dinner on Monday night? Looking forward to? Probably the weekend. There's a home show happening this weekend that we're hoping to get to.
RRCS: Can I have a consistent O day ever? This shit is getting old. Still no O. No idea when it will come.
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to? I coached at the track last night, and we just started a new season. I had a nice group of motivated, excited people that made working out with them so much fun. Tonight I am going to yoga and looking forward to being back in the hot room sweating it all out.
RRCS: It's been almost 2 weeks since we've had sex. Now that my spotting has finally stopped, time to get this show on the road again.
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to? I visited my step grandmother in the hospital. She has been there for 2 weeks. She was in really good spirits when I was there and it was so nice to see her doing better. Since my visit on Monday she is making a recovery and might get released next week. A huge turn around and we are all so happy about this. Another highlight is my mom's birthday dinner this weekend that I'm preparing. Hommade Sheppards pie and hommade cake, just not sure what kind yet. My family hates store bought cakes for birthdays so I usually try and be fancy with my baking for bdays.
britta sorry about your DS. I hope get gets better soon.
britta, ugh that's shitty about your DS. A bunch of my friends' kids have had that this winter; unfortunately it seems it's going around. ironbaby, I feel you. I am very frustrated too this cycle (see below).
Cycle/month: 3rd PP cycle
CD: 21
What are you doing to GKU: BBT, CM, CP, PNV, P in V
RRCS: ::warning--rants galore:: I was so sure that Monday was O day, but my temp was still not up today; in fact, it took a small dip. I'm really over it already. I'm also over ED sex but of course I'll probably try to get H to go again tonight since I'm scared that I'll miss our chance if we skip a night.
Additionally, I'm pissed that the wondfo OPKs I bought were a complete waste of money. I used one with FMU this morning and barely even got a control line. WTAF? It's stupid but this made me ragey.
Last thing, promise: my left boob (the one that had mastits 2 weeks ago) is sore again today, and so help me God if this fucking infection is back I might go berserk on someone.
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to? Um, nothing too outstanding on either side. Zumba yesterday was really fun and I'm supersore today! Friday I'm getting a free training session at my gym which I am excited about. Friday night I'm supposed to go to a soup swap party at my neighbor's house (lol yes I am an old suburban lady) which is fun but means I have to find time tonight and/or tomorrow to cook and freeze 5 quarts of soup!
dashook, girl, right with you. I just totally gave up on Wondfos this cycle. Last cycle I didn't get anything resembling a positive, and apparently now my body just DGAF about when I am supposed to O, so peeing on sticks for weeks on end is not in my game plan.
I really hope your mastitis is not back. Are you applying moist heat in the meantime? (I know nothing about this)
RRCS: they are doing major restructuring at my work today. I'm one of the lucky ones that gets to stay, but it is very eerie waiting for the final shoe to drop.
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to?
The best part of my week was going to see a skating show on sunday. I'm most looking forward to diner with friends on saturday and with my inlaws on sunday.
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to?
I have been grumpy all week and my cat nearly clawed my eye out last night out of nowhere. I would say getting Indian take-out Tuesday night was pretty good except they didn't close the lid tight and two out of four things we ordered (don't judge - we like variety!) spilled all over the bag. I am looking forward to eating ice cream tonight and every night until I can dig myself out of this funk.
RRCS: Thought I saw EWCM a couple days ago. But nothing since and OPK was stark white. It would be super early for me but since I Oed really early last cycle I am on high alert!
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to? I went back to my WW meeting last night. The last time I had been was in Oct. It really motivated me. I had them use last night's weight as my start weight so it's as if I am starting fresh. Back on the wagon! Just looking forward to spending time with my H before he goes back to work this weekend.

Cycle/month: 9
CD: 5
What are you doing to GKU: Meds and waiting for AF to leave
RRCS: I'm trying to figure out if there is any value in temping this month since it's a medicated cycle with a trigger shot. Do I still need to confirm O?
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to? That's hard because this week has been pretty crappy so far (AF, vertigo, MH being a PITA). But I am looking forward to being off on Friday and spending the day with DD. It's supposed to be sunny and mid-60s so it should be a good park day.
I really hope your mastitis is not back. Are you applying moist heat in the meantime? (I know nothing about this)
I'm going to try that, plus massage, while pumping today at work. I'm not sure how well it will work though because of the logistics; when I'm at home I wet and then microwave a maxipad to apply but not sure I can really pull that off at work hahah!
Simple prayers and crossed fingers are appreciated, all.
What are you doing to GKU: temping, PNV, pom juice
RRCS: None really. Feeling very even this AM.
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to? Having a double date with friends tonight and I am going to eat ALL THE NACHOS. Drinking a green smoothie to make up for the calorie intake this evening. Best part of the week so far? Hmmm...maybe sleeping for almost 10 hrs last night. The night before I randomly woke up at 3:30 and couldn't go back to sleep so I was exhausted last night.

britta, hope DS feels better soon. ironbaby, I hope you O soon. mikaela20, awesome news about your step-grandmother! That dinner sounds delicious. dashook, hugs to you. I hope it's not mastitis again, and you get some relief soon. I never had mastitis when I was pumping for DS (I exclusively pumped for him), but I did get the occasional blocked duct. It was awful. @sparky85, I spent a decent amount of the weekend watching skating on TV. That sounds like it was a lot of fun. PirateCat, hugs to you. I would be upset if my take out spilled too. That is the worst. cookswithwine9, I've done WW online off and on for the last 5 years. I'm glad they were able to start fresh for you. Good luck! sleepymonkey, hope you feel better soon. Enjoy your day with DD on Friday! legalbeagle, congrats on 10 hours of sleep! That is awesome. Nachos sound delicious.
Cycle/month: 1/1
CD: 6
What are you doing to GKU: PNV, temping.
RRCS: I mentioned yesterday that MH and DS are at my in-laws until tomorrow. Last night, I went to bed at 8:30 and slept until 5:30. It was glorious.
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to?
I stopped at a new store yesterday to pick up dinner, and it was delicious. I'm looking forward to seeing my boys when they get home tomorrow. As much as I like the alone time, it is so quiet in the house without them.
What are you doing to GKU: temping, will start OPKs later this week.
RRCS: We are having a lot of trouble keeping DD out of our bed at night. This can really complicate things during our FW next week! I'm trying desperately to break her of this habit.
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to? Got a much needed pedi yesterday with my mom! I'm looking forward to some gorgeous weather this weekend and doing something outside.
RRCS: I really am unsure about this cycle and how the BCPs will impact it. I will probably start OPKs way earlier than usual and hope I don't have to use 50 of them. ironbaby and dashook, I am not a fan of Wondfo OPKs. They've never worked for me. Only brand that works for me is BFP brand, and I've gotten a positive every month I've used them.
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to? We got take out last night so I didn't have to cook? It's been a pretty uneventful week. I have to go out of town tomorrow for work and DH is coming with me, so I'm glad that I won't have to travel alone.

cheezee, we go through that with DD. She usually stays in her crib all night but she goes through spurts where she refuses to sleep there, ending up in bed with us. And it is almost always during my FW. MH and I joke that it's like she knows and she's telling us she's happy being an only child.
Post by legalbeagle on Jan 27, 2016 10:31:27 GMT -5
smallpotato, dashook, these are honestly the best nachos I've ever eaten. Spread on a really thin layer so each nacho has the right amount of stuff on top: www.elveznyc.com/dinner-menu
My husband keeps trying to make them at home but can't replicate the deliciousness. Anyone in NYC or Philly please eat these nachos.

What are you doing to GKU: Sex, temping, OPKs and checking CM.
RRCS: My brain is tired.
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to?
The best part was probably the ice cream cookie sandwiches we had at work on Monday. So delicious! I'm looking forward to the weekend. My birthday is on Saturday and we're going out to a Brazilian steakhouse with my parents and the ILs. I'm pretty excited to eat all that food.
GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to? Work had lunch catered yesterday.. That was nice. Looking forward to our meeting with the loan officer tonight to get our construction loan!

I say the same thing about her wanting to be an only child! Sometimes she'll join us around 2am which I can handle. Lately she's immediately coming in and crying that she's scared. But won't tell us what she's scared of and we just cave to get some sleep. We've created a monster I'm sure.
daisy818, thanks for the tip! I think I will switch to a different brand if we are still trying after this month. jubilantsquirrel, happy early birthday! legalbeagle, that whole menu looks amazing! Which nachos do you get? The Hongos ones sound especially divine.
Post by smallpotato on Jan 27, 2016 11:56:22 GMT -5
legalbeagle, I may have to convince MH to take me to the one in Philly next time we are at my in-laws. That place sounds amazing! Happy early birthday jubilantsquirrel! pivot, good luck with the loan officer tonight.
Checking back in, because I'm feeling less bitchy/grumpy than I was earlier. Lots of EWCM today (more than previous days) so I'm choosing to be optimistic that today is the day.
Also, not that anyone needs a play-by-play of my boob saga, but I switched out the valves on my pump, got a better yield than I have in days, and there is no more soreness in my boob. Yay!! I'll keep monitoring the situation but for now it seems the danger has passed. Thanks for all the well wishes

What are you doing to GKU? Charting, Metformin, low carb diet, and sex
RRCS: Well my temp we back up again this morning, so maybe the dip really was a fallback rise. I put a dummy high temp in tomorrow, and FF doesn't give me CH. I guess I will be hanging out here for a little while longer.
GTKY: The best part of my week so far was starting TTC! I'm looking forward to getting Chinese food tomorrow with a coworker!

GTKY: it's Wednesday! What has been the best part of your week so far? What are you still looking forward to? The best part was definitely that my husband got a snow day on Monday, so he got to hang out at home with DS and I. The rest of the week is supposed to warm up and get into the 50s, so I'm excited about that. I just need some sunshine too and that would be perfect.
