    Cycle/Month: 1/2

     

    CD: 16

     

    What are you doing to get pregnant? Temping, charting, PNV's, OPKs, ED sex during FW and EOD around that

    Rant/rave/chart stalk: I'm kicking myself for not taking my temps more seriously. My OPKs were getting darker on Sunday and have since lightened up...I've been taking them every 12 hours or so. Now I'm having anxiety over a fear of not O'ing this month, having our FW wrong, etc. In fact, I'm having anxiety over this anxiety and the harm it could be causing with conception. Clearly, I'm on a crazy train. I think next cycle I'm going to start temping vaginally as I work rotating nights and days so my times are inconsistent and I don't sleep well, hopefully that will allow a bit more leeway. I may also pick up a fertility monitor because somehow I think having a nice digital representation of my cycle will be less of a mind fuck for me. Yes, I realize I need to smack myself in the face and get real as this is only cycle 1, week 2. It's just a bit new to me at this point...I think I'll be less cray once I settle in.

     

    GTKY: I really wish I had gone to medical school versus nursing school. I'm much more interested in diagnostics and treatment than I realized...I would have also loved to be a baker and have a nice quaint coffee/pastry shop.

     

    ETA: Cycle day

  • @littleliverpill - if I'm not mistaken its later in the day in Vietnam? Totally acceptable to be having wine...it's 6:30am here so I think it would be frowned upon. Sorry you are so bummed :-( I'm quickly learning that despite knowing the fact, it's really easy to think "this is it" and expect it to happen ASAP.

    @NeverTooManyShoes - I think I could be wrong, but I believe that the window for an OPK to test positive can be as long as 72 hours...I wonder how tomorrow will look. Want to trade? I'll give you my incessantly negative OPKs for one positive of yours? :-)

    What are you doing to get pregnant? Same things



    Rants/raves/chart stalks:ewcm, pos opk, waiting on temps... and of course I don't get to see DH until Thurs.



    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what? Yes! I'm in medical but really wish I would have gone with being a teacher.
  • @wine&cupcakes sorry you're feeling anxious - I don't think you should smack yourself in the face, though, give yourself a hug (or find someone else to!).  I do think things get easier as you get more comfortable with cycle monitoring.

    @littleliverpill sorry you're feeling down, I definitely think it's ok to wallow (in wine, cupcakes and/or self-pity!) for a few days, whatever cycle you're on....

    @nevertoomanyshoes In the past I've had a few days of almost-positive OPKs, but not clear positives.  Hope you O'd already!

    @mirak03 hope your window stays open until Thursday!

    @mrsgreen92014 sorry to hear about your job, what was it? Hope you get the chance to do it again.

    @budders12 hi, sorry to see you here, and for the sucky CD1.  I think April/May would be great birth months too.

    What are you doing to get pregnant? BBT, CM, PNVs

    CD: 6

    What are you doing to get pregnant? PNV, water, temping, OPKs, might try evening primrose oil.

    Rants/Raves/Chart Stalks: Only have 2 temps, so no chart stalks. No rants either. Just excited for vacation, seeing my family, a bachelorette party. Not looking forward to a 23 hour drive each way though.

    GTKY: I'm happy with what I do (wedding planner/consultant) but, if I had it all to do again, I wouldn't have dicked around so much in school. It took me a while to finish

    ************
    @Budders12‌ - sorry for your CD1 lady :(

    @littleliverpill‌ - I know how you feel. At first TTC is fun and exciting and the first few BFNs can be written off as "most don't get lucky right away", then month 4,5 and 6 roll around and its not fun. I've been planning my FFFC for this week because of that.

    @MiraK03‌ - noo! I'm in the same boat this month (and next) so FX that O hold out a few more days.

    @NeverTooManyShoes‌ - I recall recently that a few ladies were rockin out like 6+ days of positive OPKs! You can surge and not even O. FX that you O soon!

    ETA: Is there a way to tag you without losing the "&Cupcakes" part of your SN? When I try typing it out it only tags you as "Wine" (not that I'm criticizing wine).

    Symbols like ampersands break SN tags.

    ---

    I've been messing around in FF and I have tentative crosshairs with the Research method so I might be into my LP. Not ready to hop into the 2WW thread but I'm going to resume being more lurky until I get to the end of this cycle, I think.

    @SpartanChick88‌ I'm gonna take the easy route here and say it just depends. My temp is always lower the earlier I temp, but I don't think an hour is going to do much harm. It might not effect it at all.

    Edited cause....mobile that's why.

    What are you doing to get pregnant? All the sex. And temping

     

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: what I thought were bad allergies are appearing to be a cold. Lamesauce. 

     

    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what? I do sometimes regret not pursuing a STEM career more seriously. I wasn't confident enough as a teen to follow that passion. Also wish I wasn't allergic to nuts, otherwise I would rock the hell out of a bakery.

  • Thanks @Cythe‌ and @Budders12‌ I guess that's not a good excuse to not get up at 5:30 then! I love this instructor though, and she only teaches at the butt crack of dawn.

  • @wine&cupcakes you cant get off the crazy train, you can just hope the ride gets a little smoother with each month.
    @littleliverpill I dont usually get down in the beginning of each month because I get drunk on CD1. But the BFN around 13DPO is always a bummer/makes me question even doing this again next month.
    @Budders12, sorry to see your CD1.

    Cycle/Month:5/5

     CD:17

     What are you doing to get pregnant? sex, opks, water, I ate some pineapple core (it was delicious), folic acid, temping. I think I'm going all-out this cycle.

     Rants/raves/chart stalks: I notice I'm getting better at timing/fertility things each cycle. Which is kinda bad since each cycle puts any possible maternity leave more in the middle of my jobs busy season. Oh well, I expect a temp shift in the next week or so, then the TWW will be when we're in the US on vacation. Oh great, the crazy train will be passing through.

    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what?

    I think I would, something in the sciences or engineering, maybe a carpenter or gardener. I really like to build things but I suck at it since no one ever really taught me. I like my job but sometimes I wish I wasnt in an office. But my job allowed me to work immediately in a foreign country, which is not easy to find.
    J'15 January Signature Challenge: Pinterest Fail: I want to do one, but I was late in starting and now I'm too lazy to get in on it. This is how most of my pinterest fails normally occur, at least I didnt buy supplies.

    What are you doing to get pregnant?
    Clomid, trigger shot and IUI, now eatin pineapple core.


    Rants/raves/chart stalks: major rant today. I had my IUI on Sunday(CD 14) temp was up on CD 15, started progesterone as directed, this morning temp up some more and FF gives me this big bold alert saying it cannot confirm my O and took my ovulation line away and put me back on CD waiting to O....wtf?!!!



    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what? I went to nursing school but with two young children it became really overwhelming so after straight A's and completing my first semester, clinical in a nursing home acute care my DH decided it was best for our family that I become a stay at home mom. After that I practically moved into my kids school to volunteer, lunch with the kiddos, and hitting every field trip. They get so excited when I'm there so as long as they want me I'm gonna be there. Now that summer is here we are like the 3 amigos, off on an adventure everyday making memories!

    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what? I'm currently a stay-at-home mom so no I wouldn't change that for the world. However, what I did before I stopped working yes. I did inventory for five years, worked in a museum selling tickets briefly, and worked as a church secretary for a couple years before I became a mom. I have a history degree which is pretty useless right now. So I would not have done that for one. I would love to be a writer actually, but right now I'm good with what I'm doing.

    What are you doing to get pregnant? not enough... see rant

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: ok dammit I'm gonna unload so skip if you don't want to hear it.  Last cycle only had sex 1 fucking time during fertile week, this month dh and I agree ATLEAST EOD,.. only Saturday dh has a freaking toothache/abcess dammmit man pull yourself together... so he gets antibiotics and we are able to on Sunday, but last night? oh no he's tired... I don't care just give me your sperm.  ok i have exhaled.  Yes, of course I care he is in pain and tired unfortunately my body doesn't wait on yours to heal.  We attempted last night but he just couldn't perform, that is so freaking frustrating!  ugh ok, maybe tongight

    On a happier note a friend of mine just told me this am she is pg!  I'm so happy for her, she is young (29) and she and her dh have been trying for over a year!  It is her 2nd pregnancy her 1st is 5 and her dh went through a vasectomy reversal so it has been quite a journey for them!  Yay... !

    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what? Hell yes, I'd have an actual profession over just a job... but then again maybe not.  I was a sahm with my older boys for 8 years and that was a blessing. I have a bs but no further education with a direct career path... I'm still not sure what I want to be when I grow up...

    What are you doing to get pregnant?: All the things.

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: Timing is going to be difficult this week - mostly it's just going to mean later nights for me (tech week... yay). Forgot to use an OPK this morning so I'll have to start tomorrow. I really hope I O when FF thinks I will, because that will make some timing easier with the weekend, but we'll see.

    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what?: Hmm... not sure I'd do things over again, it's through my job and my coworker that I met my DH :P But if I had to, I'd either go into teaching, or cake decorating.

  • @kelley72‌ - relying on a willing and operational penis is hard. And frustrating. I found myself playing extra nice with DH over the weekend so he would have sex with me as I demanded it....I wish we could relax and have sex when we want but I want a mother fucking steak and can't have one until I pop a kid out, so we both know we need to go for gold each month or it's off to the RE in 6, which we would like to avoid for financial reasons if possible. But yes, TTC is hard and tiring. I never thought I would see the day my DH was 'too tired' but the FW schedule is way different from our norm.

    I suggest some sexy lingerie and have a drink ready for him when he gets home...I have found that spicing it up is helpful. But sorry to hear that things aren't aligning so well!

  • @Wine&amp;Cupcakes‌ At the moment i live in the middle of the city and I raise a flock of hens every year. The neighbors dont have a problem because they get free eggs and hens dont crow! The most noise they make is their egg call after they lay. I love my girls and i love my fresh free eggs.

  • @Wine&amp;Cupcakes‌ have you thought of going to NP school? I'm a "Midlevel" provider and I love it.

    @pmreed I think I O'ed on CD 22 last cycle. So. Frustrating. (But at least I didn't waste a ton of money on pregnancy test because "omg I'm late!") 

    Cycle/Month: 2/3

    What are you doing to get pregnant? Sex and temping. 

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: not sure if I want to do OPK this cycle. I have a few but might need more if I O later like last cycle. I think I'd rather just have sex when we want and if we hit FW then so be it. 

    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what? Nope I absolutely love what I do but I would have liked to have had my shit together and gone straight to grad school from undergrad.

    What are you doing to get pregnant? Metformin, PNV, Vitex, BBT.

     

    Rants/raves/chart stalks:  My temps seem to be consistent this time for once.  Usually I'm all over the place.

     

    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what?  I love being a nurse but if I could do over, I would have gone to cosmetology school or pharmacy school.

    CD: 10

     

    What are you doing to get pregnant? BBT, checking CM, EOD sex, OPKs...so most of the things.

     

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: we were supposed to have sex last night but H is having some dental issues and was too cranky.  He needs to get on his game tonight because i started the OPKs yesterday and it looks like O should (hopefully) be coming soon.

     

    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what? You mean i would have to be something other than a CPA?  Why?  Ok JK, i have the most boring job imaginable.  If being a travel agent was still a profession that people could make a full time living at, i would want to do that.  I love traveling and i love planning trips for myself and other people.

     

    OPK question, because i had never done them before last night: I am using the Wondfos - last night i had an extreme squinter line, but there did appear to be a line there.  This morning i had an obvious line, but it was definitely still negative, as it wasn't nearly as dark as the test line.  Is this usually representative of a pattern (like when this happens to you do you generally see the line get darker until it's positive, and then it goes away) or is it just random negatives that botched and gave me lines?  I assume that the lines indicate SOME level of LH, so i'm thinking at this point, if they keep getting darker, i should O maybe on Friday or Saturday (CD 13 or 14).  Which would mean that my cycle last month (first month off BCP) was probably a fluke (34 days).  I was wanting the cycles to regulate themselves and get shorter, so i'm hoping that this is what is happening. :-)

  • @kkirste‌ I know exactly how you feel about socks-on sex. Drives me nuts. MH always has them in and I always have to rip them off!

    Cycle/month: 14

    CD: 6

    What are you doing to get pregnant?: mostly just temping and sex

    Rants/raves/chart stalks: nothing really. I'm pretty sure I'm an early ovulator so it's go time.

    GTKY: linguistics! Specifically etymology. I'm so fascinated by how languages evolve and their origins. Even moved to my current city so I could get into the grad program, but it just hasn't worked out.

    What are you doing to get pregnant? Temping, Opks, Preseed, Following the Smep plan...



    Rants/raves/chart stalks: Beyond Frustrated ... Just ready to get this period over with so we can start back trying ... Thought I had a faint positive but turned out to be an evap line



    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what? Nope!
  • @SpartanChick88 - I agree with @littleliverpill, for me at least having 3 hours is more important than the time.  Even if it's off a little because it's an hour earlier you should still be able to confirm the shift.

    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what? Yup.  I'd probably have gotten a science/bio degree instead and done something more research based.

    What are you doing to get pregnant?  Kinda been doing nothing recently....see below

    Rants/raves/chart stalks:  So looks like my body got royally screwed up this cycle.  We were having sex EOD but last week I gave up on ever ovulating.  Looks we need to get back into it because my OPK was almost positive at lunch time!

    GTKY: If you could do things over again, would you choose a different profession? If so, what?  That's what I'm in the middle of doing!  I got my degree in chemistry but I'm back in school for accounting.
