Okay, housing update. The house was f'ing amazing. No joke. It was *perfect* - and DH agreed, which is something (it took us more than a year to find our current house...). I am so in love with the kitchen that I want to marry it. Forget DH. He can live in the pool house. It's in our budget, it's in our ideal neighborhood. It's amazing.
But. And isn't there always a "but"? It's really close to the main road (only 2 houses in) and you can hear the road noise from the yard and see it from the master bedroom side of the house. Le sigh. That's a dealbreaker for DH because the whole reason we are moving so far out is to get some peace. I am holding on, for what I don't know. But I am not ready to give up on this house yet. It's really *that* perfect. We are going to keep an eye on it and see what happens. But someone else will snatch it up soon and then I will be crying rivers into my wine because someone else is cooking in *my* dream kitchen.

@septca: omg I would love it too
-
@septca: that is absolutely gorgeous!!!
-
@septca: I want to marry that kitchen too!
I'm still getting bright ovulation tests so, I guess that's a good thing? Except that it keeps moving my test date up and up on my app. Boooo. So I'm like going to test possibly June 20th. But let's be real ladies. It will be sooner
haha
-
@septca: UM...BEYOND WOW! LOVE LOVE LOVE! We probably wont be able to afford a house for a few years so I am going to live vicariously. That is amazing.
CD1 here. I sort of got my AF yesterday because there was bright red but it wasnt full f so I decided today counted more accurately. That puts me at a 10 day LP with spotting on 8 and 9 DPO. Not great but i just weaned and it's a bit longer so I am giving it a mini half victory. Very excited to be starting my cleanse today and wondering what my cycle will be like fully weaned. FX!
-
@ctegge0416: Yay! cycle twins almost!
-
@mrs. tictactoe: That comment would annoy me too. Well meant and even reminds me of my early days. I guess we all start out kind of like that but it's completely annoying.
-
@septca: that is beautiful!! But I agree with your DH. Location location location. You'll find something better!
-
@mrs. tictactoe: That comment would have bothered anyone who is TTC for more than a few months.
@MrsMccarthy: Let me know how you like the cleanse.
@septca: I'm so sorry about the less than desirable location of your dream home! That's a bummer. But if its something that bothered you on the quick walk through, then its surely something to bother you over the years you would be living in the home.
-
@septca: Um, I want that kitchen. Now. I'm not sure I'm okay with you not getting that house!
@MrsMccarthy: I think your next cycle post-wean will be better!
@mrs. tictactoe: I'd be REALLY annoyed by that comment! Just wait til she's in your shoes unsuccessfully trying to get KU...
-
@septca: @mrs.panda LOL! I temped for all of three days, and it just stressed me out. I asked the doctor at my annual if I should be temping, and she said you either love it or hate it, and if it's going to stress me out don't do it. The key is that The progesterone test confirmed I actually am ovulating. That's half the battle lol. I honestly think (hope) we just get tired and stop having sex too soon. I don't see temping helping me get to bd'ing! We need to actually just keep at it. I think we are mostly bd'ing up until O-2, and then stopping. Although I'd link to think O-4, O-2, and some O-1 would be enough, but we should take a day off and then get back at it through the rest of the month. I don't know, I'm conflicted.
-
@septca: oh I just saw that this is one that won't be yours. It's gorgeous but you will find something better!
@sapphire: thanks sweetness. I hope that you are right and I hope I don't even really know what my LP ends up being because I get KU! Same goes for you my dear. FX
@MrsMcD: so far I feel great on the cleanse but I'm only at lunch.
-
@septca: oh wow that kitchen is gorgeous! The location would be a deal breaker for my DH too. We are house hunting as well and location comes first. But wow, I'd love to cook in that kitchen.
-
@septca: OMG! Love the kitchen! When I bought our house, I was deciding between two. One was across the street from a lake with a front porch. Two was much nicer inside, down the street from the lake, and next to a park. We decided we live on the inside, not the outside, and bought #2. So happy we did. The kitchen might make up for the noise!
Majorly stressful day tomorrow at work. Please send prayers.
CD9. I am trying to decide our plan. We have some preseed left, not sure enough for this cycle. I have been debating on getting conceive plus, but not sure whether to order it now, or use what we have left and then get some next cycle if no BFP. What do you think?
-
@AmeliaBedilia: I'm sending prayers your way. You've got this! You can do it!! When is your job finished? Very soon, I think and hope!
As for conceive plus, I don't know if you would get it in time for your fertile days.
-
@septca: OMG that kitchen is AMAZING! That's pretty much my dream kitchen
-
@septca: Holy....Honestly, that's the kitchen of my dreams. I can't even imagine owning a home with a kitchen like that...
However...the main road thing would probably be a breaker for me too. As much as it would kill me....6DPO here....so spotting should be starting tonight or tomorrow haha!
-
@MrsMcD: Amazon prime will get it to me by Wednesday- CD11. Usually O CD15.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: I say give it a whirl! Something new will be nice in the mix. Good luck and I hope your stressful week breezes by.
-
@Keppa: how are you doing love? How is the gradual weaning going? We had a surprisingly easy time dropping the final feed and I feel really good about it despite having some mood swings that may or may not be attributed. I really hope you are looking at a longer LP this month. Mine were 5 days when I started TTC and I got em up to 8-10 by partially weaning and tweaking. Thinking of you and still hopeful that you could see a BFP this month!!!
-
mrs. tictactoe: I totally hear you. My SIL is a few years older than me and when she had her DS she got pregnant on the first try and she would like baby #2 and now her DS is 3 and she's prob having a much harder time. But every time I see her and her and I are alone she asks "are you guys still trying?" it's like, "no, we stopped" wtf what kind of question is that. ugh. so annoying.
@septca: um hello dream kitchen!! is that a million dollar house?! it's beautiful!!
Today is CD 6 for me. Going to BD EOD…I'm thinking for most of the month! haha…so afraid to miss the right moment! March baby here we come!!
Just want to say I love you ladies! I look forward to reading everything everyone has to say. You ladies are the only ones who truly understand this very moment in our lives and it really helps! Thanks for being awesome!
-
@septca: Thank you! It is so frustrating hoping we get our BFP soon! Off topic from that, the kitchen is AMAZING!!! If I had a kitchen like that I would have to move into it, maybe set up a memory foam matress in the corner
@MrsMccarthy: That is awesome we are pretty much on the same CD! You can help me keep track of what I am doing lol I just signed up for fertility friend and am getting used to temping and tracking everything!
@nicolechris11212: I totally agree with you this is a truly wonderful group!
-
It's my birthday!! Yoga, cupcakes, and dinner. My kind of day!
-
@dc yoga bee: happy birthday hope you enjoy
-
@dc yoga bee: happy birthday!!!
-
@dc yoga bee: Happy HAPPY Birthday!!!!
-
@dc yoga bee: Happy birthday!!!!!
-
@dc yoga bee: Happy happy birthday!!
-
I also
all of you and this thread so much. It is keeping me sane these days.@dc yoga bee: Happy Birthday!!! That sounds like an awesome day.
@nicolechris11212: ((hugs))
@AmeliaBedilia: DO IT! Aren't moments like these the reason Amazon Prime exists???
@MrsMccarthy: I am so glad that your LP is starting to right itself and that your hormones are calming down! It took about 2 weeks for me to feel normal, and then another month or so to feel like I had my pre-baby body back.
@Keppa: ((hugs)) and a big fat
to the early spotting.Thanks to @EVERYONE for the kitchen love. Le sigh.
Update on me: CD15. My OPKs are getting darker and I am anticipating (based on darkening patterns) a Friday O. Timing so far as been okay, but I think we are going to step it up to ED from here until the weekend so we can make sure we are hitting everything. Because it's all well and good to say I *will* get KU this month... but it's sure not going to happen through immaculate conception.
I had a second meeting re: the dream job yesterday. It went really well and there are a couple more hoops to jump through, but I really think this is going to be *it*! I am SOOOO thrilled, but also terrified. It would not be the most awesome thing ever if I had to say, hey, thanks for giving me this amazing opportunity, but I'm KU so I'll need 4 months off next spring. Kay? Thanks! But it would be even worse to get KU *after* I started but before I was eligible for leave. Sigh. And a little que sera sera.
I'm going to post the roll call below, but it's a bit out of date... I will try to update, but please let me know/update yourself if you have something to add...

@dc yoga bee: happy Birthday!

@dc yoga bee: happy birthday doll!! Mine was Sunday and it was wonderful. My husband got me a spa day certificate including massage at this super pristine and amazing local place. Very excited! I hope your day is filled with joy and happiness!
-
@septca: I am loving the "shout out." That was the second time in one day I was called "simplefelicity. " I am not trying to play deconstructionist here, but I feel like HB is trying to tell me something. Which means, I only know because I stalk you guys sometimes. I love to see BFPS on here.
And, yes, I am too dam lazy to temp... -
@simplyfelicity: Ouch. I am so sorry, SimplYFelicity. That's what happens when you try to type someone's screen name from memory... :sheepish:
-
I love you girls too! Sorry I went to respond to everyone and it erased my post. I've decided just to post a general post for now because I'm still nursing this cold and I'm exhausted. The cleanse is going really well though incidently I was wondering if any of you would like to join me on it send me your email and I can email you the PDF it's a full body and mind cleanse and I think anyone can do it even if you don't have their brand of supplements. So just wall me.
-
@dc yoga bee: Happy birthday!
-
@AmeliaBedilia: Did you order it? I would if you could get it that fast. And why not just have it ready for next cycle, too, if you even need it then!
@Keppa: I hope the spotting stays away.
@nicolechris11212: Your "EOD" plan sounds great. I'm going to start that starting tomorrow. I won't see DH until then and haven't seen him since Sunday. Darn conflicting work schedules!
@dc yoga bee: Happy birthday, lady! Sounds like a great day!
@septca: "Que sera sera" is going to be my new theme for this cycle.
ETA: I scheduled my HSG for July 7. (work is too busy to do it this week.) I plan to just drive myself there and home. Did anyone feel they couldn't drive after the HSG?
-
@MrsMcD: you will be fine to drive. Just bring a pad and some Advil.
-
@septca: Thanks friend! Previously some girl at my obgyn's office told me over the phone that an anesthesiologist was involved in the procedure. I started freaking out. But she actually meant radiologist. Gees.... big difference.
haha
