BethKate2

@CFearsy, I'm so sorry you're having a tough time and that things don't seem to be going your way. ((hugs))

Things are ok with me. Last week was such a busy week. Things have slowed down a little, but I'm bummed because I'm pretty sure today is O day, and H is away for work until Wednesday. I keep reminding myself that it probably doesn't matter since we start treatment next cycle, but I still hate knowing we've got no shot this month.

BethKate2

@mrandmrsk91011, sorry about the shin splints! I've been thinking about doing a turkey trot 5k on Thanksgiving, but I keep forgetting to look up what's available in my area.

JellicalParker

@BethKate2‌ glad you survived your busy week. Maybe your ute will know what's going on and hold off for you, with any luck.
@CFearsy‌ sorry you're having such a rough week. 10 days of bleeding suck, I hope it stops soon!
@mrandmrsk91011‌ I hate shin splints. At least you did it getting ready for a 5k! How exciting!

AFM: I've been feeling really cruddy this morning. And I started temping about 10 days ago. And its been interesting, because I think I ovulated late. I had a temp drop and spotting today. I am hoping that its not AF rearing her ugly head. T&P about that. Trying not to get too excited, but also trying to not let myself get too depressed about the spotting. Currently helping myself to a small glass of Merlot. So if I suck at spelling, I am sorry.

BethKate2

@JellicalParker, did you start temping after O? Hopefully your period isn't showing up, but unfortunately, with a temp drop and spotting, it sounds like it might be. ((hugs))

CreechMommy

Thanks @BethKate2 I'm trying not to go too crazy in this TWW.  I'll be testing 2 days before my cousins wedding.  I remember thinking I would be 27 weeks at this wedding.  Now I'll either be quietly celebrating and passing alcohol to my hubby or drinking excessively.  

Also I got my first 98 degree temp today so I'm just hoping it continues to go up!!!

rslh10

Hey lady! I'm so sorry you're not getting to HIO this cycle, but like you said, next month is medicated! Yay! Glad things have slowed down for you a little.

@CFearsy‌ you already know.

@JellicalParker‌ are you an active member on another board? I notice BK said sorry about the bfn but I don't see you post here (except check ins) so I guess I maybe need to creep else where at any rate, I'm sorry about the bfn and hope it's just too early!

@mrandmrsk91011‌ ugh sorry about the shin splints! I would love to run a 5k, but that would require me to run...sooo....

AFM- I had made the choice to switch to femara this cycle. I did cd 3-7, and on cd 7 (Friday) I started getting O pains. So I poasOPK all weekend and they were negative. I called this am to get in for a follie scan (I missed my opportunity to trigger last month so I wanted to make sure I didn't this month!) and got in at 11:45. I had a nice plump lining of 9.90, and 3 good follies. 16mm and 2-17mm's. I'm going to trigger tomorrow (well DH will have to shoot me!), and we're doing TI. I'm staring my progesterone Saturday. And I'm doing that vaginally instead of orally.

Hoping for a good result If I get a bfn this round, I think I'm taking a mental health break until January.

rslh10

@CreechMommy‌ chart linky??

rslh10

I am mobile(read: too lazy to get laptop) @CFearsy‌

CreechMommy

@CFearsy that would be DPO 14 (if I don't test before then lol)

JellicalParker

@BethKate2‌ I know that's probably what it is. If so, I just want to get it over with already. And I thought I started temping post O, but the temps seem to indicate that I O'd on cd 19 instead of cd 13 like I orginally thought. Which was only 8 days ago... I'm so confused and an incomplete chart is really no help to me. But I caved and got the thermometer to start getting into the habit, and now I'm driving myself crazy.
@rslh10‌ I usually post in the TWW threads in TTGP. Not really active when WTO. I also try to respond when I feel I have something to give in the conversation, but for the most part I am a dirty lurker. I kept getting BFNs all last week and this. I hope this trigger cycle works for you!
@CFearsy‌ I just figured out how to access ot from a computer, but I haven't figured out how to attach it from mobile. I really wish I could.
Right now I am just waiting to see what tomorrow brings. If my temp keeps dropping and the spotting turns to full on af, then I will call this cycle a bust.

Elliecat17

@BethKate2 Hey lady thanks for running the check in. Good to see you back! Eh it's ok. By the time it gets to the end of the 2WW I just want it over with and to move on. Not much happening here. Being a bad wife and trying to get H to quit his part time job (which demands he be there always for longer then his shifts and keeps mandating him to work which means he has to leave his full time position to go there). Why you may ask? Well because they (the airport) does not work around anyone's school schedule so why should they work around a literacy aid (read semi-teacher)? Plus his getting up at 3am and working until 3am (not on the same days always) are really putting a kink in my sexy fun time. LOL so really I want him to leave because everything is about me.  

How are things with you?

paintdadanta

@CFearsy - Ugh, sorry to hear that you are still fighting with insurance. I hope they get their act together soon.

@BethKate2 - Thanks for check-in. Sorry the timing didn’t work out this month ((hugs))

@mrandmrsk91011 - Sorry to hear about the shin splints. Our service dog organization is starting to plan a 5k walk/run so I’ll definitely have to start sticking to my exercise plan. Kudos to you for jumping right in.

@JellicalParker - FX for you that AF stays away. Sorry you’re feeling cruddy.

@CreechMommy - TWW is enough to drive anyone crazy. FX for passing the alcohol down.

@rslh10 - FX for you this cycle!

@Elliecat17 - Work schedules are enough to make any nutty. Too bad they can’t schedule around us

@jj32 - Sorry for the deceptive chart, FX for your next cycle.

AFM - Last week was chaotic for me between school and service dogs so I was MIA for a bit from TB. As for now, I am currently in the TWW and trying not to go stir crazy. The changing length of my cycle is throwing me off a bit as I’ve always had a 28 cycle but this last one surprised me at 23 days. AF could be anywhere from this weekend to next so I have no idea when to test since I’ve always done it after missing AF. Ugh, temping may be in my near future so I don’t drive myself crazy.

@paintdadanta, I've noticed you haven't been around as much and I've been thinking about you. FX for you in your tww...I'll be stalking you!

Thanks, I really had Bump withdrawal last week and missed all you ladies. 

Unfortunately, the course I am in right now has me reading one textbook per week and weekly discussion papers, which isn't awful until you add the random projects that get thrown in like I had last Sunday. That combined with in-processing a new veteran and adopting a dog for him just killed me. But at least the busyness kept the craziness of TWW at bay . . . until now at least

JellicalParker

@CFearsy‌ @BethKate2‌ @paintdadanta‌ AF went into full gear this morning. Definitely bummed, but amazingly my body feels so much better than it normally does! So one good thing. But you will have to forgive me as I go drink a bottle of wine and wait for it to end so we can try again. Thanks for being so supportive ladies! @CFearsy‌ thanks for that. I will have to remember that for this cycle.

Hi ladies!  Sorry I'm so late checking in and that I can't respond to everyone.  I got a horrible migraine yesterday and it's still lingering today.  I wanted to stop in and give an update on DH's promotion - he did get it, but only about 1/2 of the pay increase that he and his boss were hoping for.  I guess it's still something, but he can't quit the second job just yet.  I've decided to TTA another cycle for various reasons.  It just makes sense to give it a bit more time for us to get things straightened out. 

Much love and (((HUGS)) to each of you!  Know that I will read your updates when my head starts cooperating.

MrsPhD83

@CFearsy, TP to that freakin insurance company, and your insensitive friend, and AF! Big ((hugs)) to you, lady!!

@BethKate2, Thanks for checking in and thinking of me I'm sorry it looks like you may have missed O with YH being out of town. That's frustrating. But yay for your upcoming treatment cycle!

@mrandmrsk91011, way to go with your 5k training! MH and I are thinking of doing a turkey trot too. But it gets soooo cold here by then and I hate running outside when it's that cold. Sooooo idk. haha. I hope your drama resolves with YH too!

@JellicalParker, Sorry about AF ((hugs))

@CreechMommy, Your chart looks good so far! FX'd you'll be celebrating at that wedding!

@rslh10, I'm so freakin excited that you triggered!!! I'll be chart stalking you for the next 2 weeks everything is crossed for you!

@Elliecat17, I'm sorry YH's job is interfering with all of your sexy fun time! If he can't quit and get his hours better, maybe you'll have to get a little creative

@jj32, looks like we'll be cycle buddies again. Boo....but yay? haha. I like having you as a cycle buddy!

@paintdadanta, FX'd for you!!!!!!!

@rmpar29, Congrats to YH on his promotion, even if the money isn't quite what he was hoping for. Sorry about your migraine. I hope you feel better!

AFM, CD2 and counting down the days until O....again. I'm coming off of what seems to have been a chemical pregnancy. You can read all about it here. Last night, my husband made me a fabulous dinner, we ate on our wedding china, and I had an enormous glass (or 2) of wine. The last 5 days have been really emotional, confusing, and infuriating. After decompressing last night, I have decided that, for my mental health, I will be focusing on the positives. So here are things I'm happy about:

1) We are going to DC for a family wedding next week and we decided to take 2 extra days to ourselves before the weekend to go explore some of the museums and monuments just the 2 of us. I initially felt guilty about taking the time away from work and our animals. But we have our pet sitter booked and work can kiss my ass.

2) I will be able to drink at this wedding! I really, really love champagne.

3) I am in the process of applying for jobs, and while it's annoying and makes a lot of things unknown, at the end of this process we will get to move to a place we like instead of being somewhere we don't like living.

4) Like last cycle, I will be going to acupuncture again this cycle. I always find it very relaxing and while I feel a tad guilty spending money on it, I think it will be good for me.

CreechMommy

@MrsPhD83 Thank you!!!

CreechMommy

@Greeneyes842 Glad you had a great time away for your anniversary  I plan on testing Wednesday (if I can make it that long) So far the urge to test hasn't been super strong.  My cousin's wedding is next Friday and the Rehearsal dinner is Thursday.  14 DPO just happens to be Wed (before all the festivities).  I def need to know before then if I'm KU b/c the wine will be flowing and I need to know what to do with it lol.  

CreechMommy

@Greeneyes842  I've never hoped I couldn't drink at a wedding before!! This is weird territory lol
