Come on already AF

[winecheery]

AF was expected in full force today....nada all day expect some brown spotting, and now it's a bit pink/brown.

Can we get ON with it puhleez?? I hate this wishy washy BS beginning.

It's like, an incredibly teasing, rude thing to be late when it means nothing.

[littlemisschatty]

Um how do you know it means nothing?

POAS

[winecheery]

But I'm crampy and it just seems like a lot of brown to not be AF, kwim?? Idk. Maybe I'll poas tomorrow but it just feel like a dragged out intro to AF...

even with the spot of pinky/brown you think I should poas??

[potatopie]

you could always wait another day, but I'd POAS.

[winecheery]

Thanks for the hope girls, but it was red today, as I figured it would be.

You're sweet to think otherwise though. It's pouring today and I feel particularly crampy and disgusting...sooooo it's gonna be a couch potato Sunday I expect.

ETA: I kinda don't know how I want to proceed for next cycle. With Christmas and traveling...I don't think temping will be so easy. And I don't know if I want to do opks even because the idea of poas to give me a line that doesn't equal "I'm KU" kinda feels anti-climactic.

I suppose I have the week of AF to decide my next move right?

Awww, not the update I was hoping for today. Fx for next cycle for you! It will be funny if you take a month off from temping & OPKs and THAT is when it happens, ya know?

[blindyswife]

Sorry, wine. You could take next month off of charting entirely?

If this cycle is unsuccessful for me, I'm toying with the idea of taking a month off from charting. I don't know if I can give up control or not, but maybe it would be good for me. We shall see!

[magpie]

aww, I had my fingers crossed for you too. I know what you mean about the holidays and traveling. I'm pretty much out for this cycle too (negative test again today, 13dpo) and I am fearing that O will come around while we're visiting my folks for Christmas. Yikes!

[littlemisschatty]

Sorry

Womp womp

[winecheery]

It is so sweet that you were all rooting for me! I wish I had better news to share

Yes swizz, I DO fortunately O around the same each month; for all of my cycles off the pill. I feel I am VERY lucky in that way. My LP is a good length too.

I just feel like not giving a crap atm and seeing if my body does its job. And honestly, part of me wonders what the hell my rush is to get pg so damn instantly.

I mean, I'm ready to be a mom, I want it so damn badly I sometimes cry. But my life right now is pretty freakin great too. And I'm not living it very consciously, as I ttc. I need to remember to enjoy the now, too.

But then again, if it doesn't happen over the next cycle, I will have AF for my beach vacay which is the WORST! But at least I'll be able to get hammered on tropical beverages...
