R/R: I feel so awful. Yesterday I didn't get out of bed. I had a fever of 102 all day. It finally broke overnight so now I can actually keep my eyes open. My throat still hurts though and my nose is blocked
CS/Q: I haven't been able to temp because of my fever so who knows what's going on. Hopefully this isn't the month my body decided to O super early. I doubt it though.
GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday? Going somewhere fun/new as a family. I love Saturday's that we have plans because then it actually felt like a weekend. This weekend however, my butt will probably be in bed all day.
R/R: Bought my BBT, was all ready to temp today for the 2nd time at 7:15...and then my dog woke me up doing that infamous dog gag and I ran out of bed to put a towel down so he didn't puke on the carpet. (We have showings today and I don't feel like cleaning up dog barf). So my temp is 0.04 higher than yesterday but I don't know how accurate that is now. Maybe one day my dog will learn there is a reason he's only fed dog food ($$$ dog food at that)
ETA: bump ate my post
CS/Q: is this temp ok today since I got up and then immediately took or should I discard it? I'm new to temping/still reading/learning.
GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday with your DH? One where DH is home all day. We have opposite schedules and don't have one day when we are both off.
@TravelingCouple I really hope you feel better! Try to rest. Can you Use opks instead of temping to help since temping isn't going to be easy to read due fever ? Hugs friend.
@love1229 animal puke is the worst. Well any puke is the worst. I have a bad gag reflex and dry heave when i hear anything make that noise. Yuck! Here's to hoping it wasn't too far off temp wise.

GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday with your DH? Honestly, something active and then food. We love to hike and be outdoors, then grab delicious food. Coming home to snuggle and watch Netflix afterwards. Yas please! It's cold so our perfect Saturday these days is watching our girls dance.
@canonmom413 thanks, I certainly am resting. It's all I have the energy for. Planning to use OPKs EOD starting today. Hopefully you get the day off although planning birthday parties sounds like fun, where do you work?
R/R: yesterday was a great day with the fam. Sad we have to go back tomorrow, just hoping the forecasted ice storm isn't too bad for our drive.
CS/Q: temps still way up with meg OPK and back to creamy CM, so maybe the single OPK + was the real thing and not a false surge, or it could be the room we are sleeping in is hot as hades

@travelingcouple I'm so sorry your sick. I hope you feel better soon! @love1229 that's a pretty small temp change, so that's good but if you took it after getting out of bed I would not count on it being accurate for a basal body temp. @canonmom413 sounds like we have similar perfect days

@TravelingCouple I'm a photographer and I work at the dance studio ( receptionist, all-doer ) so birthday party days i just sit there and make sure everyone signs waivers and the party family pays nothing glamorous.
Sorry I have been so MIA. Getting AF this cycle was really upsetting and I needed a break. Also- DS is super sick so we have not been sleeping which has affected my temping.
Month/Cycle: 6

WAYDTGKU: so much sex, BBT, PNV, OPKs, B6 for lengthening my LP.
R/R: yay for a 3 day weekend! But boo for DS being sick and getting molars. We have been up 5-7 times a night.
CS/Q: my chart is crap this month. I have so many missed temps because when you are up every hour, it's not very accurate. We are just going to HIO and hope for the best.
GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday? Waking up "late", drinking coffee while DS plays by himself or watches tv, go to the park and enjoy some wine!
@TravelingCouple so sorry you are still sick. It sounds like a nasty bug. Take care of yourself!

R/R: it's going to be a lazy weekend of football!
CS/Q: ok, so I know I said I was going to do a chill cycle, but I took my temp yesterday and today just to see what was going on and I definitely haven't O'd yet. I've only had one cycle where I didn't O by CD15. I think the stress of the biopsy is delaying it. The nurse told me no sex until the bleeding stops, which she says is about a week (I'll have to check the paperwork they gave me though). I think this is going to be a missed cycle.

GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday?
It would start with me going to barre class. Then DH and I would take a day trip, either to wineries or hiking in the mountains. At night we'd lay on the couch and binge Netflix.
@TravelingCouple FX your fever breaking means you're on your way to feeling better! @jess0211 Hooray for flashing smiley!!!
Thank you lovely ladies for the well wishes. Being sick in bed means I can be in TB more today than I usually would! @canonmom413 I wish I had the eye for photography! Sounds like fun @BertieMeetsGertie sorry that it may be a missed cycle. Maybe it will delay enough that you can squeeze in a BD session beforehand.
WAYDTGKU currently still on bcp, will start lupron injections next week (while we are in Hawaii!)

WAYDTGKU: waiting for AF
to leave, then....BBT, OPK, CM, maybe CP, green tea (at least twice a day until
O), limiting caffeine, PNVs, magnesium
R/R: I’m so happy the
after dark thread was so popular last night!
And DH certainly thanks you all as well . Tonight, we have plans to go to the toboggan
chutes and I’m really excited for it!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What is your
perfect Saturday? Sleep in till 10, spend the day hanging out with the dog on
the couch watching Gilmore Girls or Doctor Who then have a nice romantic dinner
at home with DH after he gets home from work and snuggle up on the couch watching a movie of choice.

R/R: I have only been temping for a week now but my chart looks like it's on crack. I was happy the first few days because my tempatures were coming in all right around the same but now they are all over the place. I guess that is to be expected though only two weeks post BC.
CS/Q: Not yet.
GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday? I really miss double dating. It's been forever since my DH and I have been able to go out with another couple. I miss my girlfriends and having other people around to do things with. That would be a perfect Saturday for me right now if I could make it happen.
@JJMNO1616 yes! I miss double dating too and having people around to go out with. DH doesn't like most of my friend's husbands so we don't go out with them and his friend are all work friends and he either doesn't want to see them outside of work.
Welp, just had a big glob of (unusable) EWCM. If I manage to O today or tomorrow, we would have -4 or -5 timing. Yuck! I really was hoping to O at my regular time, but oh well.

@lulu1180 thanks for starting the after dark thread! It was fun!
@LadyMeowMeow yay for long weekend! Even if you do have to work, at least you can work from your couch in sweat pants with wine....that's my plan anyway
Please forgive if I P&G for a bit, might be running errands for a while.
Month/Cycle: 6/7
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: GDTPT, and the usual. My secondary signs arent cooperating this cycle, but whatevs.
ETA: juuuuuust got some EWCM, but haven't had a positive OPK since CD14. I know it's possible to get EWCM after O, but I'm nervous because I don't THINK I had any prior to today. Ugh, could continue to HIO but poor DH is tired lol
R/R: just booked some semi-permanent, microstroke/microblade brows for Feb 6th!!! A friend of mine is a super talented permanent makeup artist, so she's giving me a killer deal. I can't have them done if I'm KU, so I figure this will either jinx me into getting KTFU, or be a nice little consolation prize.
CS/Q: if someone could tell me really lovely stories about women getting KU with crappy CM/CP that'd be greeeeeat.
GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday? I'll go for the kid-less version since that's less depressing: Exploring a new city with DH with lots of eating and drinking. Or, having a lazy day at home with DH binge watching our favorite shows, lots of BD, and of course lots of eating and drinking.
@TravelingCouple Sorry to hear you are sick! Hope you feel better soon.
@love1229 My temps are being wonky too. My thermometer says that it is accurate within .2 degrees though so .04 doesn't seem like a big difference to me? What do I know though... I'm obviously new at this.
@LuND I'm also very interested to know what microblade/microstroke is.
WAYDTGKU: the normal stuff. Will get back into temping next week. This past week was just weird.
R/R: Rant: I work at a call center and they might start making me take escalation calls (angry customer calls) and I really don't need that in my life. There's a reason why I moved to a department that doesn't deal with customers.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday? Just getting out of the house and doing something that we don't do literally every day. Go for a walk, go visit a zoo, watch a movie, SOMETHING

@Travelingcouple I hope you feel better soon! That is the worst. @Jess0211 Yeah, get it girl! @Bertiemeetsgertie I'm so sorry to hear this is a delayed cycle, though I suppose the biopsy delaying O makes sense. FX it isn't a missed cycle entirely and O keeps holding off! (I feel weird wishing for that) @heatherdubrow Woohoo for Hawaii! @lulu1180 I laughed out loud that your DH read the after dark thread! Hahaha.
WAYDTGKU: Waiting
for RE appointment 1/24. Otherwise nothing, no more temping or OPKs, just
living our lives and boning when I see ewcm.
R/R: Nothing like being in Los Angeles and seeing that it is snowing in New York. Haha New York. This is why we planned a January vacation. I will be enjoying 70 degrees and sun thank you!
CS/Q
GTKY: Sleep late (check), DH makes me breakfast (get on it husband!), laze around, take a walk in the sunshine.
Ladies I forgot to mention that yesterday afternoon I got my HSG scheduled and DH got his SA results back!! The SA results were great, if anyone wants me to post the numbers I will be happy to. As for the HSG, I called back yesterday afternoon as I was told to do. The center I wanted to go to is not doing HSGs for the time being but they did find an appointment at another center (and of course the one that is the most out of the way) on Monday the 23rd. Unfortunately, that would be CD11 and based on past cycles after my typical O date. I was nearly in tears on the phone because I really didn't want to wait another cycle and the woman I spoke with told me that because they have to coordinate with Radiology, they generally only get about 6 slots each week (at that location) to perform HSGs. She offered to contact radiology to see if they had anything on Thursday or Friday that they could squeeze in and she would call me back. She called me back less than 10 minutes or so later and told me that she was able to get me an appointment this Friday! I told her that she just made my day, she was so amazing and helpful!
And sorry for the long post! Here's adorable gifs for reading the whole thing!

WAYDTGKU: everything plus entering the HIO portion of the cycle
R/R: Went to watch H compete in a crossfit competition this morning. Clearly O is near because an entire morning of watching shirtless, sweaty gents lift things up and put them down has me in a very Blanche-like state
CS/Q: --
GTKY: Lazy morning with coffee and dog cuddles. Picnic lunch at one of our favorite local breweries or wineries. Afternoon nap. Then quiet evening with H.
@TravelingCouple feel better soon!! @love1229 that dog puke sound wakes me up from a dead sleep every time! @BertieMeetsGertie sorry for the potentially screwy O timing Enjoy your day at the winery! That's my kind of day. @feeislove I can't even imagine having to take escalation calls. I can hardly handle a pleasant call to make a hair appointment! @adirat enjoy the sun and 70* weather! I'm so jealous that it hurts.

@lulu1180 so so relieved for you for great SA numbers and getting the HSG scheduled. I know you're relieved and thrilled, and I know you don't mean to rub anyone wrong, but I need to be honest that your statement about your H's SA bragging rights was hard to read and made me wince a little for the numerous ladies here who are facing MFI. I know you don't mean anything by it, but please remember our fellow ladies who may be personally impacted by that.
WAYDTGKU: Metformin, Levothyroxine, 2nd round of Femara+trigger+TI, CM, OPKs, maybe half-hearted temping around O, Progesterone after O.
R/R: I really hope these hot flashes are rewarded with some nice follie growth on Monday. I temped this morning and may keep it up until just after O but it's been so nice to skip it with my crazy sleep schedule.

@lulu1180 Yay for those SA results! And happy
for you that they could get you an appointment so soon. Have you had
success with green tea increasing EWCM? I'm trying it this cycle for
that reason. Also, that red panda gif just made my day!
@virginiaham I sincerely apologize if I rubbed you or anyone else the wrong way. I know several of the ladies on here are dealing with MFI and anyone who knows me knows that I would never intentionally say or do anything to damage another's emotional stability. I debated even posting the generalized results as I was afraid of something like this. I will edit my post and again apologize for hurting you the way that I did.

@lulu1180 That's great news! It's always awesome when things turn out better than expected.
@JulesDP It's awful. I sat with some people that did take escalated calls and I was uncomfortable just listening to them. Customers generally just want what they can't have but demand it over and over. It'll make me absolutely miserable if they make me do this. Fingers crossed they don't.

@canonmom413 Temps during AF don’t necessarily follow a pattern, which is why some stop temping until AF leaves

WAYDTGKU: waiting for AF to leave, then....BBT, OPK, CM, maybe CP, green tea (at least twice a day until O), limiting caffeine, PNVs, magnesium
R/R: I’m so happy the after dark thread was so popular last night! And DH certainly thanks you all as well . Tonight, we have plans to go to the toboggan chutes and I’m really excited for it!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday? Sleep in till 10, spend the day hanging out with the dog on the couch watching Gilmore Girls or Doctor Who then have a nice romantic dinner at home with DH after he gets home from work and snuggle up on the couch watching a movie of choice.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, PNV
R/R: I have only been temping for a week now but my chart looks like it's on crack. I was happy the first few days because my tempatures were coming in all right around the same but now they are all over the place. I guess that is to be expected though only two weeks post BC.
CS/Q: Not yet.
GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday?
I really miss double dating. It's been forever since my DH and I have been able to go out with another couple. I miss my girlfriends and having other people around to do things with. That would be a perfect Saturday for me right now if I could make it happen.
Welp, just had a big glob of (unusable) EWCM. If I manage to O today or tomorrow, we would have -4 or -5 timing. Yuck! I really was hoping to O at my regular time, but oh well.

@BertieMeetsGertie awww I am sorry you can't hio right now.
@lulu1180 thanks for starting the after dark thread! It was fun!
@LadyMeowMeow yay for long weekend! Even if you do have to work, at least you can work from your couch in sweat pants with wine....that's my plan anyway
Month/Cycle: 6/7
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: GDTPT, and the usual. My secondary signs arent cooperating this cycle, but whatevs.
ETA: juuuuuust got some EWCM, but haven't had a positive OPK since CD14. I know it's possible to get EWCM after O, but I'm nervous because I don't THINK I had any prior to today. Ugh, could continue to HIO but poor DH is tired lol
R/R: just booked some semi-permanent, microstroke/microblade brows for Feb 6th!!!
A friend of mine is a super talented permanent makeup artist, so she's giving me a killer deal. I can't have them done if I'm KU, so I figure this will either jinx me into getting KTFU, or be a nice little consolation prize.
CS/Q: if someone could tell me really lovely stories about women getting KU with crappy CM/CP that'd be greeeeeat.
GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday? I'll go for the kid-less version since that's less depressing: Exploring a new city with DH with lots of eating and drinking. Or, having a lazy day at home with DH binge watching our favorite shows, lots of BD, and of course lots of eating and drinking.
**tw*** one of my good friends swears she never gets noticable CM and she got ktfu** end tw**
and, of course I JUST got EWCM - edited my post.
@love1229 My temps are being wonky too. My thermometer says that it is accurate within .2 degrees though so .04 doesn't seem like a big difference to me? What do I know though... I'm obviously new at this.
@LuND I'm also very interested to know what microblade/microstroke is.
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: the normal stuff. Will get back into temping next week. This past week was just weird.
R/R: Rant: I work at a call center and they might start making me take escalation calls (angry customer calls) and I really don't need that in my life. There's a reason why I moved to a department that doesn't deal with customers.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday? Just getting out of the house and doing something that we don't do literally every day. Go for a walk, go visit a zoo, watch a movie, SOMETHING

@Jess0211 Yeah, get it girl!
@Bertiemeetsgertie I'm so sorry to hear this is a delayed cycle, though I suppose the biopsy delaying O makes sense. FX it isn't a missed cycle entirely and O keeps holding off! (I feel weird wishing for that)
@heatherdubrow Woohoo for Hawaii!
@lulu1180 I laughed out loud that your DH read the after dark thread! Hahaha.

WAYDTGKU: Waiting for RE appointment 1/24. Otherwise nothing, no more temping or OPKs, just living our lives and boning when I see ewcm.
R/R: Nothing like being in Los Angeles and seeing that it is snowing in New York. Haha New York. This is why we planned a January vacation. I will be enjoying 70 degrees and sun thank you!
CS/Q
GTKY: Sleep late (check), DH makes me breakfast (get on it husband!), laze around, take a walk in the sunshine.
As for the HSG, I called back yesterday afternoon as I was told to do. The center I wanted to go to is not doing HSGs for the time being but they did find an appointment at another center (and of course the one that is the most out of the way) on Monday the 23rd. Unfortunately, that would be CD11 and based on past cycles after my typical O date. I was nearly in tears on the phone because I really didn't want to wait another cycle and the woman I spoke with told me that because they have to coordinate with Radiology, they generally only get about 6 slots each week (at that location) to perform HSGs. She offered to contact radiology to see if they had anything on Thursday or Friday that they could squeeze in and she would call me back. She called me back less than 10 minutes or so later and told me that she was able to get me an appointment this Friday! I told her that she just made my day, she was so amazing and helpful!
And sorry for the long post! Here's adorable gifs for reading the whole thing!

WAYDTGKU: everything plus entering the HIO portion of the cycle
R/R: Went to watch H compete in a crossfit competition this morning. Clearly O is near because an entire morning of watching shirtless, sweaty gents lift things up and put them down has me in a very Blanche-like state
CS/Q: --
GTKY: Lazy morning with coffee and dog cuddles. Picnic lunch at one of our favorite local breweries or wineries. Afternoon nap. Then quiet evening with H.
@TravelingCouple feel better soon!!
@love1229 that dog puke sound wakes me up from a dead sleep every time!
@BertieMeetsGertie sorry for the potentially screwy O timing Enjoy your day at the winery! That's my kind of day.
@feeislove I can't even imagine having to take escalation calls. I can hardly handle a pleasant call to make a hair appointment!
@adirat enjoy the sun and 70* weather! I'm so jealous that it hurts.

WAYDTGKU: Metformin, Levothyroxine, 2nd round of Femara+trigger+TI, CM, OPKs, maybe half-hearted temping around O, Progesterone after O.
R/R: I really hope these hot flashes are rewarded with some nice follie growth on Monday. I temped this morning and may keep it up until just after O but it's been so nice to skip it with my crazy sleep schedule.

GTKY: What is your perfect Saturday? Sleeping in late, coffee in our skivvies, getting out of the house for a hike if we feel like it or lunch, grocery shopping for dinner, then making dinner and having a lazy evening together.

@lulu1180 Yay for those SA results! And happy for you that they could get you an appointment so soon. Have you had success with green tea increasing EWCM? I'm trying it this cycle for that reason. Also, that red panda gif just made my day!

@JulesDP It's awful. I sat with some people that did take escalated calls and I was uncomfortable just listening to them. Customers generally just want what they can't have but demand it over and over. It'll make me absolutely miserable if they make me do this. Fingers crossed they don't.
