WAYDTGKU: Now - temping, CF check, PNV, waiting

R/R/CS: I had another rise in temp this AM so I should (FX) be able to move over to TWW if I get another tomorrow, with O day at CD20. 

GTKY: What's your favourite drink?

I love a cocktail - any cocktail or honey Metaxa.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPKs

R/R/CS: I'm so pumped for this cycle. I finally know what I'm doing, got a real BBT themometer, stocked up on OPKs, AND I'm eatnig super healthy so that I'm in the mood all the time (gets rid of the buddha belly = feel better). Currently drinking my GGS (Glowing Green Smoothie) and loving life! (don't think about McGriddles - don't think about McGriddles - )

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? Definitely NOT the GGS. If we are talking booze, I recently discovered I love stout beer! But my all-time favorite is Sex on the Beach

JEMN

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPKs

R/R/CS: after complaining yesterday about never turning one I got a clear positive OPK last night and again this morning. Darn. I was hoping I ovulated already. If my cycle is only 30 days like normal it's looking like I have a short LP (first month temping so still trying to figure this all out)

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? Mojitos! But I'm pretty excited about the cranberry margaritas were serving for thanksgiving!

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? Neeed coffee!!!!

WAYDTGKU: charting temping checking CM OPKs sex EOD

R/R/CS: starting using OPKs earlier this month so I don't miss O as it came very early last cycle!

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? I am not a big drink person I usually just have water, alcoholic beverages I love vodka clubs. That's the only time I really have a drink that isn't water.

CD: 24

WAYDTGKU: temping, CM/CP, OPKs, BD

R/R/CS: Holy temp spike, Batman! I wasn't expecting that this cycle, so FX I'll get two more to confirm O!

Also (tmi warning!) I think I finally figured out what HSO CP is! I've been trying to figure out CP as a secondary sign, but I've been having a really hard time determining any differences, and yesterday I was like oh this is it!

GTKY: What's your favourite drink?
Coffee! If we're talking alcoholic, then a red moscato.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 20

WAYDTGKU: Most everything

R/R/CS: I had some watery CM yesterday and was hopeful I might ovulate soon and a bit earlier than last cycle but back to creamy CM today. But I woke up early this morning and made orange/carrot/ginger juice for my sick husband and coffee for my FIL without all the parts of my French press and I was awarded the Best Wife award by my sick sleepy husband so I'm feeling pretty accomplished even if I don't ovulate today. 

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? Since I am on a juice kick, I love carrot and ginger juice.

GTKY: Coffee, Hard Cider, if super thursty water

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, sex

R/R/CS: Ugh there's so much I have to get done today. Just thinking about it is exhausting.

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? Usually some ice cold water or an occasional diet pepsi, but if we're talking alcohol I love Reds or moscow mules! 

mamadomino

Month/Cycle: 4

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: pnv, tracking cm and cp, maybe opks, the sexo

R/R/CS: I'm very close to losing my shit on my boss. I'm annoyed at my husband, so it's probably a good thing he's out of town.

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? Diet coke. It's just so delicious. And hard cider. I'm fairly certain at least half of my comments here include some sort of mention of hard cider. I'm not even sorry.

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, PNV, HIO (with preseed during FW)

R/R/CS: Just getting ready for FW starting on Sat

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? Non alcoholic - Iced green tea, alcohol- mimosas 

JEMN  -  my first month temping I started panicking when I ovulated a week later then I thought I would have, which would make my LP only 6 days (based on my oh so regular cycles I ALWAYS had). Then AF was a week late and I was so confused I wasn't getting a BFP. Well after the whole chart was complete (along with more charts since then) I saw that I just so happened to O late that month. It was the longest cycle (so must have been the latest O) I have ever had. And of course it was my first month temping adding to my confusion!

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, PNV, and sex

R/R/CS: I'm turning into a bit of a scrooge in my old age...it's a bit sad really.  I used to enjoy the holiday season as a kid, and now it just stresses me out.

GTKY: What's your favourite drink?  Diet Coke - I drink an unhealthy amount.  As far as alcohol is concerned, I love wine.

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: sex ED/EOD, PNVs,

R/R/CS: I got my lab results back from the CD3 testing...everything is within ranges which is good. I'm a little worried about my AMH though, it's within range but in the lower 1/3 (for my age the range is 0.76 to 11.4 ng/ml and my results was 3.66). *AMH is in relation to egg reserve* I guess I'll just have to wait to see the OB after my CD21 tests

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? alcoholic?--> cosmo , non-alcoholic--> lemonade or chocolate milk

Lulucooks

Month/Cycle: 18 total, 6 temping

WAYDTGKU: Waiting for a to leave

R/R/CS: I have to do a load of cooking today and realized I forgot things, so first I have to go to the store....

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? Water is my go to. Cherry Pepsi from a fountain is good for an occasional treat. Vodka, cranberry, lime is my favorite alcoholic drink

WAYDTGKU: allllll the things. Charting, tracking, sex EOD, onvs, opks...everything.

R/R/CS: vacation is here and AF is gone! Yahoo!

GTKY: What's your favourite drink?
Iced coffee for life!

Month/Cycle: 6/7

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU:  OPK, BBT, CM, BD EOD 

R/R/CS:  Went to see me PCP/OB today. It made me feel better, knowing that in many ways, my body is behaving totally normally, and then chances that something is wrong is very slim. DH is going to get a semen check in the next couple weeks, so that will make me feel better I think. We talked about testing my thyroid, and Prolactin levels, but both of those would affect my ovulation. I seem to be ovulating normally, so I decided to hold off on that for now, maybe have those checked in a couple months. I might disappear from TB for a bit; checking in daily is only making me more anxious I think. I need to forget about this for a while and maybe try to enjoy the holiday season instead of being depressed about my situation.

GTKY: What's your favorite drink?  rooibos tea, apple juice, malbec, hot cocoa.

*Question*

Month/Cycle: 6/4

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: BD EOD, temping and checking CM

R/R/CS: I woke up at 8:30 this morning because of the cats meowing. So I temped then because there was less than three hours before my alarm was to go off. It was 96.84, which would have been a huge temp dip. So when my alarm went off at 11 I temped again since that's normal time for me. It was back in the 97 range. I decided to go with the higher one because I feel like that would make more sense. But was that the correct thing to do? I feel like someone asked this exact question recently in the WTO thread, but I don't remember the answer.

GTKY: Water because it helps me feel better throughout the day. Also, coffee. I love the taste of coffee. If we're talking alcoholic, then a dirty Shirley. Kinda girly but whatever I like it.

babymish

@JournoGrl23 How far into the 97 range was your second temp?

AmMcc12

@ReesaAnne16 how would checking thyroid and prolactin levels effect you O date?

Month/cycle: 3/3

CD: I said my goodbyes in te TWW thread this morning, then spotting turned into full on AF so I am officially on cd 1

R/R/CS: pros to CD1: I had a normal 29 day cycle which is amazing after my previous 37 day one. If things stay on track this cycle I will ovulate before leaving to stay with family for Xmas (huge yay) and I will probably be able to test on Xmas morning which would be fun.

GTKY:

I'm sure this is supposed to mean alcoholic drink but I am a total sucker for warm drinks. Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon. Fancy sugary lattes on the weekend. I can't live without them.

gardeniagirlknits

Month/Cycle: okay so... What are everyone's thoughts on this... I tried for 9 months only to have a major medical crisis and have to break for 3 months.... So am I 1/1? The medical crisis included discovering and solving the reason I wasnt getting ku. 1/1 makes me feel like a newb... Which I am for sure not. But truly this will be 1/1 when it is actually not medically impossible for me to get pregnant *that we know of* so I feel like I will roll with that. It will be a nice fresh start. Ugh... There's no acronym for this....

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: right now, waiting... I'm pretty sure af is packing her bags for her departure tomorrow

R/R/CS: I just don't know my cycle anymore. My body has completely changed now that the medical issues have been handled.

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? Coffee, black, in the morning. I love water or tea with a lemon slice. Margheritas. Definitely a wine snob. Hubs brews craft brew and we both really get into that. Pumpkin spice lattes in the fall... I know... I know. And I can't finish a day without my hot herbal tea.

When I got labs back that reported my tsh was 596 the doctor said "I honestly don't know how you are standing here, walking and talking... You should be comatose or dead". my instant response was "PG tips". I swear... That's what kept me going bc every afternoon when I would start crashing I'd just... Have two or three cups of PG tips and would be good to go until 8pm! (if you've ever been hypothyroid... You know what I'm talking about!!) it was My *favorite* drink.... Now I can have it because it magnifies my medication side effects. Boo pretty sure it kept me out of a coma... Or at least I like to think it did

WAYDTGKU: bow chicka wow wow. And all the other stressful things.

R/R/CS: I am almost in the tww. I mean, I probably am now I'm 99.9% certain I O'd two days ago. It's just safe and warm here. I'll probably go over there tomorrow.

GTKY: What's your favourite drink?
Alcohol-wise: it'd have to be either crown and Coke or a mudslide because it's like a chocolate milkshake for grown ups.
Anything else would have to be Dr. Pepper but I've cut out caffeine so the Dr. P and I haven't been together in what feels like forever.

WAYDTGKU:
Temping right now, mostly just NTNP until after the holiday craziness. Trying to get in the habit of temping and charting now, though!

R/R/CS:
Trying to remember to temp! I had my IUD taken out Friday so this is all still super new to me. Trying to get DH to download Glow so he can CS with me.

GTKY: What's your favourite drink?
Non-Alcoholic: English Breakfast Tea with Stevia
Alcoholic: Amaretto and Cranberry - it tastes like a cherry Lifesaver!

virginiaham

@JournoGrl23 For some ladies, temping at the same time despite it not being after a full 3h of sleep will produce a more consistent/readable chart than going by the full 3 hours guideline. I tend to get pretty *off* temps when I temp even 2 hours early. I'd personally go with the temp at your normal time.


**question in r/r/cs**


Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPK, CM/CP, BBT, sex EOD

R/R/CS: My friend, H, and I made 40# worth of mashed potatoes last night for H's work function today that I'm not invited to. The kitchen was a huge mess when we got done and I saved $ by buying 10# bags that turned out to have these little mini russet potatoes in them. It's such a pain to peel potatoes that you can barely grip while peeling, but veggie prep puts me in a happy place...even that. Not H haha.

**question** We had wine early in the evening and I'm sure my bac was close to nil by the time I went to bed, but could a glass of wine so early affect my temp this morning?

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? Homemade coffee. We have an embarrassing number of tools to make coffee in our home. Next, fountain Coke or Mexican Coke, a craft stout, or a piña colada.

@gardeniagirlknits I literally had a dr say the exact same thing to me when I was diagnosed hypothyroid. He said "I don't know how you're sitting here, you should be in a coma somewhere." It totally freaked me out at the time. In my experience, it has been a really easy condition to manage though so don't worry too much. My only advice would be that, if you're like me and your numbers can be that out of range with absolutely zero symptoms, you just need to get regular blood tests to monitor your levels because you obviously can't go by symptoms.

My dr always bumps my dose up a bit when I'm ttc because they like to see your TSH on the lower end of normal, then I get blood tests once a month while pregnant. Last time we upped my dose near the beginning of my pregnancy but the numbers actually evened out and my dose was dropped back down by the end. No big deal!

gardeniagirlknits

@0SeaMonkey0 Well, now I don't have a thyroid at all!! It turned out... Completely coincidental, that I also had thyroid cancer. So they removed my whole thyroid. But now they keep me HYPERthyroid intentionally (0.15) with synthroid bc it keeps cancer less likely to reoccur. That's why I can't have caffeine in the afternoon now... I'm jittery as it is without it! Lol. My endo said I should be the first person after my husband that I call after a bfp so she can keep me tested throughout. And my ob is also a thyroid cancer survivor... So she knows what's up. I will be monitored constantly though whether or not I am pregnant, bc of the cancer. FX I can get pregnant while hyperthyroid with normal t4... Doctors REALLY don't want to let me be on the low end of normal

GravetyeGardener

@gardeniagirlknits What about putting the total number of months since you started ttc, then cycle one? That way you get credit for your experience but also a fresh start.

virginiaham

@gardeniagirlknits so glad for you that you're back in the fight! I think you could totally claim all of it, total months & cycles trying, and then maybe give a caveat of like *1st viable cycle post-treatment*?? You have been trying that long and you're no newbie to this, and it's huge and awesome that this is your first possible cycle. I'd claim it.

WAYDTGKU: BBT (first month charting), CM, OPKs

R/R/CS: Monday was our first day of crappy winter weather and by 6:30am, I already slipped on ice and fell. Still super sore today but trying to get in the mood for fertile window. I need to get myself motivated to start baking pie and apple crisp for tomorrow but I just want to snuggle on the couch with the pup.

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? Diet Pepsi & Absolut Mandarin or Sam Adams Porch Rocker.

Sorry about CD1 @0seamonkey0 but way to think of the positives & congrats on a normal cycle!

WAYDTGKU: Somehow trying to make time for sex while cooking Thanksgiving dinner...

R/R/CS: Of course today, tomorrow and the next day would be my fertile window. It's not like I have four pies to make, 7 side dishes and a turkey...

GTKY: What's your favourite drink?

Alcohol - It used to be sex on the beach, but I've been loving mint mojitos recently.

Non - Bolthouse farms Green Goodness.

echo+november

@PocketFullofShells Good luck on Wednesday! I hope all goes well.

@gardeniagirlknits Hooray for fresh starts! For sure count all the months you’ve been trying.

@AmMcc12 I think @ReesaAnne16 means that if her prolactin and thyroid were off her ovulation would likely be affected and she seems to be ovulating regularly. So those levels are probably not the problem.

 

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: temping, CM, etc.

R/R/CS:  I’m excited and impatient to see how this cycle goes.

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? Gah I guess Diet Dr. Pepper. I sort of hate that I love it, though.

Edited to get rid of spaces

JournoGrl23

@virginiaham thank you! I was thinking that too. The second temp is closer to the previous day's than the first one.

@babymish my temps the last few days have been 97.48. But today the first temp was 96.84 and the second was 97.70.

gardeniagirlknits

WAYDTGKU: nothing because

R/R/CS: *TMI warning* seriously this AF sucks more than usual. Not only was my last cycle abnormally short, but AF is a lot heavier than normal. Bleh. Over it. 

GTKY: What's your favourite drink? water. Every now and then I have to break down and have my diet coke fix. Alcohol-wise I like a simple Tito's & soda, an extra dirty martini, or a good Malbec.

gardeniagirlknits

@GravetyeGardener @virginiaham @evenakker okay so how shall we abbreviate this... 1/1 post cancer + (9 Mos ttc pre-cancer) ... 1/1 TTC after medical intervention.... I feel like there should be an abbreviation already for this... Surely I'm not the only one? I really hate being the spechul snowflake....

Eta
@TheTamedShrew that gif caught me off guard and made me start giggling... People in this long ass grocery line are like.... Whaaaaaaaaa? I'm on cd3 too... How long are your cycles usually? Maybe we'll be cycle twins!!!!!! If I could GIF I would do one with some super eager girl trying to sit at the cool kid table...

TheTamedShrew

@gardeniagirlknits, I hope so! My cycles are usually in the average 28-31 day range, but this last one was 27 which is pretty abnormal for me. Reg until you're not and all that. I'm crossing all my fingers for you, you've been through a lot. Congrats on being cancer-free and getting a fresh start with TTC  

AmMcc12

@evenakker ahh I see the way I read it was that the blood test would effect O. I was wondering if there was some knowledge i was missing and would need as someone with Hypo and gets checked frequently.

In other related news I'm so ready for this day to be over so I can get to my 5 day weekend
