Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD:  4 

WAYDTGKU:  Round 2 of Clomid + TI, temping, starting OPKs next week, ultrasounds forever, HIO when we feel like it and then when it's time.

R/R/CS:  For anyone keeping track, I hopped from from CD1 yesterday to CD4 today. I decided to go back and call Friday CD1 since it was slightly heavier than spotting. I think AF is just going to be really light this month as I think it's pretty much done at this point, back to just spotting.

@MrsBinPA thanks for the input yesterday! I'm going to let my RE know what I did and hopefully she is in agreement, too. I had to make a decision and I decided to start the Clomid last night. Side note, have you noticed Clomid making your periods lighter at all?

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of?  Our major league baseball team.

Month/Cycle: 7/5

CD:  38

WAYDTGKU:  pnv bbt cm OPKs until I ran out on CD 33

R/R/CS:  if anyone doesn't mind doing a CS? This is by far the latest I've ovulated in my 7 months of trying. Do you think CD 33 or CD 36 look more like O? If I change nothing and get another high temp, FF puts CH on CD 36. If I discard CD 36, I get CH on CD 33. There's no reason to discard CD 33 but I guess I'm hoping for CD 33 cuz I have a shot at least. DH and I were arguing all weekend and sex was not on the table when I was this annoyed with him. So yeah it will really suck if I got to CD 36 and got derailed by an argument. 

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? Right now I'm obsessed with the Hamilton original cast recording. I visited NYC in October and tickets were about $600, so I couldn't go.  Hamilton is coming to Chicago in September and DH and I are definitely going. I'm also obsessed with my Erin Condren life planner. It's a whole wormhole you can get sucked into. I also love podcasts. Even though serial season 2 isn't as good, I still listen first thing on Thursdays.

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU:  Temping, tracking CM at FF, HIO

R/R/CS:  AF came a little early, which I'm actually happy about. My usual cycles are 28 days, but my first month of TTC was only 25. Really excited for a chance to properly hit my FW this month. 

On another note, I did witness that drive by post last night and--it's probably PMS--but it did make me a little sad! Lol, my baby fever is a little high right now, I guess.

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? Online shopping lol. I love getting packages in the mail, and if left unchecked, can go crazy with ordering crap online.

WAYDTGKU: all the things + EPO. Back to temping and OPKs start today.

WAYDTGKU: Waiting out AF.

R/R/CS: This is by far the worst period I've had since high school. Ughhhh. Please let it be over soon.

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of?
English Setters. Obviously. They are the best dogs ever!

WAYDTGKU:  as much as possible! lol

R/R/CS:  Heading out to a fun 2.5 day conference today. I'm excited about it but know it will wreak havoc on my temps. Oh well. Probably not quite to my FW yet, but who knows what could happen! Since I have only been charting for 2 cycles before this one, my body is still in that unpredictable stage. At any rate, it will be a fun conference....BUT I will be mobile bumping so sorry if I'm not around much!

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? 

There are a lot of things that I'm a superfan of--in high school I would've said Lord of the Rings and anything Tolkien, although I know a lot more about that stuff than the average person and still love it to death. Now, I'd probably say Doctor Who and Supernatural. In addition, I LOVE to read, so I'm a huge fan of books in general! I'm currently making my way through Robert Jordan's massive Fantasy series "The Wheel of Time".

*edit--spelling--I should really proofread these things before I click "save comment"*

sldp123

@Megzb510 I hate to say it, but it looks like CD36 to me. Did you stop doing OPKs after CD33? If there is no reason to discard that low temp on CD36, I wouldn't. Even with O on CD36, you still have -3 so you aren't totally out.

WAYDTGKU: the usual

R/R/CS: Monday 

GTKY: what are you obsessed with/super fan of?
um sandwiches of course. Lol. In all seriousness not much anymore. I spent a good couple years being really into the Harry Potter world and spent more time than I should admit reading Hermione/Snape fan fic. I also love Jane Austen novels, I'm definitely an Austen super fan.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD:  2..... boo

WAYDTGKU:  considering trying preseed, then all the standards- HIO, temping, blah blah blah

R/R/CS:  As much as it sucked to see the temp right before AF started, it was kind of exciting (I'm weird I know lol) because I started a few hours after I temped. With this being my first month really temping it was exciting to be able to start seeing what my body's doing

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? Tolkien- LOTR, The Hobbit... books, movies, games all the things lol

Sparty18

@Megzb510 Unfortunately, it's looking like CD36, but on the bright side, your BD on CD33 would still be good timing for CD36, perhaps even better than if you did O on CD33.

@houseofsetters AF has been awful for me this time, too!  What is going on?!

Month/Cycle: 7/8

CD:  3

WAYDTGKU:  Waiting for AF to leave

R/R/CS:  Only a 3 day work week for me this week, so bring on Monday!

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of?  College football and basketball.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

WAYDTGKU:  PNV's, OPK's, Metformin, Temping, BD EOD

R/R/CS:  Ughh Monday. But on the bright side BD EOD started today and I started CBAD opks. Lets hope they worth all the money.

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? 
Star Wars! I've been obsessed since I was a little kid.

R/R/CS: traveling for work this week so bumping from phone. Glad to have AF now so when I get home it's time to HIO. 

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? 
I guess it's yoga. I love it and have gotten into the spiritual and history side of it too. It's really helped to transform my mind and body.

WAYDTGKU:  Temping/Charting

R/R/CS:  **TW loss mentioned** This is my first AF after a MC and I was warned it could be worse than normal.  So far, it hasn't been bad so I'm pretty happy about that.  I'm also happy because each day is now one step close to trying again.

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of?  I'm a huge LOTR/Hobbit fan.  It's been great that I've slowly converted DH

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD:  12

WAYDTGKU: 



R/R/CS:  I keep getting patches of EWCM, so nothing too substantial. DH and I are just going to HIO EOD this month. I have an appointment on March 6th with my GYN in order to test hormone levels. If things are wonky, we'll try some progesterone. If everything looks okay, I'm going to "ask" (he said he would just give me a recommendation - but I have to remind him) for a recommendation to see an RE. I have the name of one that his office usually recommends, but insurance won't help pay for it until he officially recommends her. We shall see.

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? Batman. Doctor Who. Sherlock. Downton Abbey. All of the things. I'm a total geek.

kfair001

@Megzb510 – Hard to say but unfortunately it looks like CD36 but I am certainly no expert.  FX for you either way!

@writeress – Sorry about CD 1

@SongbirdintheCity – Work ….Blah!!!  It’s another busy one for me today too.

@houseofsetters – Sorry about the bad AF.  Hopefully she vacates soon!

@kellybean1988 – oh heyyy!  Have fun at the conference!

@ladystinson – Sorry about CD 2 but glad you’re staying positive!

@Sparty18 – 3 day work week….Jealous!!!

@JediAlly85 – Here’s hoping they’re worth all the money!!! FX

@L9i – I’m sorry for your loss.  It’s so nice to see your positive attitude though. 

Month/Cycle: 4/4

WAYDTGKU:  HIO EOD starts today!  Pre-seed, BBT, OPK

R/R/CS:  My temps are all over the place.  They are so high and I have no idea why.  grrr  FX that I O this cycle. 

GTKY:  My fur babies and baseball.   I'm also obsessed with always having something so do.  I literally always need to be doing something. 

zrain

Month/Cycle: 7/7 (1/1 TTCAL)

CD:  20

WAYDTGKU: charting everything, acupuncture, waiting....

R/R/CS: Rant 1: I'm starting to get nervous about my trip. We leave at 9am on Wednesday and I work 12 hour shifts today and tomorrow, so I don't have much time to finish getting things together. I left all the arrangements of our vacation to DH and he did a good job, but when I double checked everything yesterday I realized he'd missed that we need two passport photos for our Cambodia visa. It would've been awful to get there and not be prepared after a whole day of flying. Makes me worried that he forgot something else important. 
Rant 2: I'm nervous about BBT and traveling to the other side of the world. Flying, time zone changes, and jet lag will probably mess up my chart. Also with our work schedules these last couple days before we go we're going to be thrown off our EOD BDing. I don't think I'm going to O any time soon, so it should be ok.

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? Hmm...besides TTGP? I'm going to go with nursing. I love my profession.  I end up working on projects for work at home because I enjoy it, and I love reading my journal subscriptions. I feel like being a nurse is a huge part of my identity even outside of work. Nurses are superheroes!

Month/Cycle: 4/5

CD:  8

WAYDTGKU:  everything and EPO

R/R/CS:  FF gave me the whole green light high fertility sign, which I am sure is premature, but we shall see. Anyway, DH saw that and was all we should BD alot since it says high fertility! So wants to get it on 3x a day during the high fertility green light sign on FF. I'm happy that he wants to understand and is trying so hard. But talk about exhausting!

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of?

I love Dr. Who! I want a Dr. Who nursery when we have a LO. DH found this awesome fridge that even looks like a TARDIS. I really want to get the TARDIS fridge.

kellybean1988

**Side note rant**  *edited, words*

My coworker who has a week old baby at home came back to work today. I am so happy for him and his wife (this is their first) but also it is rough to hear him keep talking about her. I asked him how everything is going because I would have felt like a jerk for not asking (we are all friends in my office) but it is just rough. They got pregnant their first cycle trying so it's hard for me to not be jealous. Ahhh such complex emotions! I'm glad I'm headed out for a conference today because that baby will literally be the only thing everyone is talking about for at least the next few days. (I'm the only young person in my office without children, so people like to talk about this stuff). le sigh.  Not to mention that now that he is back and that baby is born, cue everyone else starting to ask me when we're having children since I'm the ONLY other young person in the office and obv next in line. Ugh. My boss knows we're TTC but no one else does.

AndiPandi127

@Megzb510 I think it's hard to say - were your OPKs getting darker around Day 33? With your EWCM, you could have had a smaller surge at 33 before your ovulation surge at 36, or there's a slight possibility 33 could still be it with a slow rise - I've certainly had dips post-o. If I didn't look at any of your other signs and just looked at the temp rise, I'd say Day 36 for sure, so that is likely it as the temp rise is more reliable than anything else. 

Month/Cycle: 6/7

CD:  11

WAYDTGKU:  Not much this month. PNV, B complex vitamin. 

R/R/CS:  Likely missing fertile window this month bc of husband's work but I thought I'd jump in over here as it's been a while. We started testing with an RE (I am over 35), but it's a bit on hold because of his travel schedule. We're moving through it slowly. 

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? I've had many fan obsessions over the years. Currently, I'm enjoying yet another rewatch of The Gilmore Girls.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

WAYDTGKU:  bbt, sex EOD hopefully, cm, cp, RRL tea, pnv+vit c+vit b6, OPKs starting in a few days

R/R/CS:  had a super busy weekend, next weekend will be crazy too ug, I just hope it won't hinder the bd! I hope my cycle will stay on par with last - although it's long I don't care I just want it more predictable instead of just a big guess like the past. Finally found RRL tea so between that and all the vitamins I'm hoping with good timing and a (FX) longer LP we can get something to stick lol 

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? 
Hmmm tons, I've said them all on here before. So here's a new one for ya - WoW.. or at least for those of you who know what that is I guess

Month/Cycle: 10/10 

CD: 14 ... where are you ovulation?!

WAYDTGKU: BBT, FF, PNV,+DHA BD ED/EOD, NO BOOZE (DAMN YOU WHOLE30! LOL)

R/R/CS: ok so we ended up going to the party @ DH's parents this weekend. DH, as usual, was the life of the party & super social & had a lovely time. I was miserable because I was the only one not drinking and literally COULD NOT EAT A SINGLE THING that was there due to my whole30 restrictions. This is why I didn't want to go. I did bring my La Croix and some snacks but I should have prepared better & actually brought an appetizer or two that I could eat. I imagine this is what gluten free people or vegans must been like all the time. Literally every F'N dish had dairy, GOOD GOD PEOPLE. LMAO. Once everyone left & it was just us & the fam, my FIL made me eggs which was really sweet of him & so I finally ate @ like midnight. We really enjoy our time with them so that part & staying over was good! We also came home with a ton of firewood & fresh beef from the farm (hence the username) so I'm hella excited about that. 

Lastly, for those who have been following my ring saga, we finally picked it up Saturday & it is looking so perfect & gorgeous again! They reset the diamond, re-tipped the prongs & I also had it cleaned & rhodium plated, photo below- eeee! 

GTKY: FOOD NETWORK/COOKING CHANNEL! I've been obsessed & watching the FN since I was in HS (let's say since 1999ish) & watched CC launch in 2010. HUGE foodie/food nerd, love the actual cooking shows, hate the competitions. Pioneer Woman is my fav Also love Alton (before he was an asshole), and Ina  

SandwichLover

Sorry @kellybean1988 I definitely know the feeling. It's hard to deal with some days. 

@megzb510 I'm no expert but agree with the others on CD36. Your timing is still gives you a shot though!

picklesplease

@thefarmerswife0411 - YAY! It's gorgeous!  

kellybean1988

*another giant photo, sorry y'all*

Thanks @SandwichLover !!!! It'll be fine, some days are better than others as you know!

@thefarmerswife0411 LOVE the ring, it's so beautiful!

@Kay6519 I love Doctor Who too! In fact, I painted a closet in our spare bedroom to be a TARDIS! (We plan on this room being a nursery room someday for LO, FX!!) We are having not just a Doctor Who theme, but plan on a nerd-sery...lol Doctor Who, LOTR, Harry Potter, Sherlock, etc. Here's a pic of the door I painted in our spare bedroom! Disclaimer--I am NOT a crafty person so I have no idea how the hell I managed this. lol!

picklesplease

@kellybean1988 - Holy crap! I LOVE that door! DH and I are planning on creating a TARDIS bookshelf for my office here over the summer. I cannot WAIT!

Eta: I painted this gem in January. My bestie and I went together. It's now proudly hanging in my classroom!

kellybean1988

@BerkeBaby  that is AWESOME and I love it, you did a great job!!! The Van Gogh episode is one of my absolute faves, if not THE fave.

I think the Van Gogh episode is right up there with "Blink" for me. I have watched both episodes dozens of times. David Tennant will always be MY doctor, but I warmed up to Matt Smith quite a bit.

kellybean1988

@BerkeBaby  I totally agree with all of that!!

WAYDTGKTFU: PNV+DHA, temping & charting, HIOx2 yesterday and hopefully will continue 1x/day every day through O, 100 oz. H2O per day

R/R/CS: Watery/EWCM turned up 4 days earlier this month, so hopefully Oing on CD19 was a fluke last month and it will come earlier. We'll see...Hopefully, because I don't know if j can keep BDing all the way through CD19. 


GTKY: Harry Potter. Both DH and I are fairly obsessed. DS's room is HP themed.

WAYDTGKU:  ED/EOD, OKP probably, no lube, vitamins, etc

R/R/CS:  Day 1 of week off was SUPER productive...I'm happy with myself right now (I still have a ton to do, but I ticked 5 medium sized things off of my to-do list...only 3 big things left on the to do list for the week, so that's not bad) 

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? in the past little while my obsessions have included: Downton Abbey, Sherlock, The Bump, and just babies in general :P

Month/Cycle: 2/2
 
CD:  3

WAYDTGKU:  Charting, if nothing happens this cycle, I might do vit B6 because my LP appears to be on the shorter side (11 days, not sure if it's still just BC detox at this point though)

R/R/CS:  I went on a 22-mile bike ride yesterday after not riding my road bike all winter and my bottom hurts in places where I don't even know the names of the things that hurt. It's like saddle sores without the actual "sores."

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? I don't really have a traditional "fandom" but I guess language is my thing I'm obsessed with. In college, I did a double-major in linguistics and computer science, the former just because I love language syntax so much, not because I had a real plan for it (but linguistics and comp sci really pair together well when dealing with AI so it was a good choice in the end, I think!)

PrettyPalomino

Month/Cycle: 5/5

WAYDTGKU: CM, BBT, OPKs

R/R/CS: I haven't posted in a few days, AF was a day late and it got my hopes up and I cried upon her arrival for the first time </3 It's the first time I really questioned my fertility. I feel better now, it is what it is, I need patience and I can't jump to conclusions so early. Technically the first cycle or two don't even count, coming off the pill. C'est la vie! My BFF is KU, she's 11 weeks now, we really want to be KU together so I'm hoping it can happen within the next 2 or 3 cycles. Of course, I know better than to expect it to happen just because I am willing it.

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of?  At the moment, ballerinas! And Casey Ho, Blogilates creator! Wish I could be her, she's so awesome!

WAYDTGKU:  

R/R/CS:  I don't understand this stuff yet but I picked up Taking Charge of Your Fertility this weekend and I've never been so excited to chart. Hopefully by the time I'm done the book I'll be all over this and will get to comment on these threads more

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? I don't really superfan over anything but I binge watched Gilmore Girls recently and I may or may not quote the show more than I should in real life. 

MissAmeliaPond

Sorry for posting and running today - it's my first day at my new job! So definitely will not be doing any personal stuff online today and limiting phone time. Hopefully it goes well. 

Month/Cycle:  6/6 (2/2 TTCAL)

CD:  20

WAYDTGKU:  I am pretty sure I O'd, just need one more high temp tomorrow. 

R/R/CS:   As I said above, today is my first day at my new job! I hate being the new person - everyone is always watching you under a magnifying glass. Hopefully I don't fuck anything up too badly.  

I was finally a victim of FF's weird new algorithm this cycle with my wonky temps (in the Advanced method). First it tried to tell me I O'd on CD 14, and then again on CD 16, so I switched it over to FAM. Stupid FF, idk what happened to it. I'm convinced I O'd on CD17 because of weird belly pains and cm, but temps suggest CD 18. It doesn't really change our timing much either way, so whatever. I think after 4 dpo I'm not going to temp again until 11dpo. I think it will be a nice break. 

Oh, I also wanted to say that I had acupuncture on CD 15, and went on to O on CD 17 or 18. Last month was my first cycle AL and I didn't O until CD24. I normally O on CD16-19, so idk if my body just got back to normal on it's own or if acupuncture helped speed things along. Anyway, this is just an anecdote, but I just wanted to share since a lot of us a trying it out right now. 

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of? My username would suggest Doctor Who, but I wouldn't really say that I'm obsessed. I like it just as well as I like Harry Potter, my dogs, Japanese ramen... I guess I might like Star Wars a little more than I like anything else (besides my dogs).  

sammajane19

Month/Cycle: 4/2

CD:  36

WAYDTGKU:  temping, Metformin, HIO EOD or E2D, CM, occasionally OPKs

R/R/CS:  Well, CD 36 and still no sign of AF or cross hairs. My chart is wild looking. Don't think I'm responding at all to the Metformin, which I began at the beginning of January to even my cycles out. My plan is to give my OB/GYN a call in mid-March. (She wanted to see me after 3 months on Met anyway.)  

I'm not quite sure what the next step is...would I be jumping the gun to request a RE? My cycles have been highly irregular and long since I stopped BC back in July. (My last cycle was Provera-induced, after 82 anovulatory days.) An ultrasound back in Jan. revealed I have "multiple enlarged follicles".  

@sldp123  What has your experience been like so far on Clomid? How long were you TTC before you started?

GTKY:  what are you obsessed with/superfan of?  ummm....do cats count??  

picklesplease

I have some time today, so I wanted to try to respond to everyone.

@MissAmeliaPond - best of luck to you today with your new job! I hope it all goes well!

@Dilynne - I was so grateful to my co-worker to suggested TCOYF. It really was the best recommendation I've ever received. I promise you will learn so much about your body.

@PrettyPalomino - So sorry about CD1 and how hard it hit you. My bestie is currently in her last trimester. I really wanted us to be KU together, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. My body is being ridiculous.

@canavara - I studied linguistics in undergrad, too. My favorite class was probably my North American English Dialects. We learned why our accents/dialects are the way they are (due to immigration patterns). It was super interesting. We had to do a major project at the end of the class. I remember doing one on internet linguistics, but my favorite presentation was from my friend, who did his on the history and usages of the word "fuck." It was entertaining, to say the least.

@Buthayna - I'm impressed. If I ever get any extended time off, I struggle with being motivated enough to get stuff done. DH desperately wants me to finish painting the basement (it was my project/idea) but whenever I get any time off, I can't seem to get down there to do it. Enjoy your time off and good luck with the rest of your list!

@atcwag - I'm right there with you. DH and I are currently HIO EOD-ish until my FW. I don't think we could BD ED. We'd both get so exhausted! Good luck!

@thefarmerswife0411 - DH and I are obsessed with Pioneer Woman. I want to be her friend and share all kinds of recipes with each other. Well...more like she would share the recipes and I would try all of the amazing food she makes.

@QueenDaenrysT - FX for you this month! I hope the RRL tea works!

@AndiPandi127 - Sorry about missing your FW. That happened to DH and I in December. It's so frustrating!

@Kay6519 - Welcome, fellow Whovian! I'm trying to talk DH into letting me make my office Doctor Who themed!

@zrain - Enjoy your trip! I wish we could afford to travel to the other side of the world, but that's not in the cards for us right now. Where all will you be going?

@kfair001 - You sound like me. I always have to be busy doing something, whether it's knitting, crocheting, painting, yard work, or anything else that needs to be done.

@l9i - So sorry about your loss. Hopefully AF continues to not be that bad for you.

@Kenya715 - I love yoga, too. I haven't gotten to the spiritual side of it in my practice, but I do appreciate it and understand how good it is for mind, body, and spirit.

@JediAlly85 - Today has had a rough start for me. It's not just any Monday, but the Monday before Spring Break. The kids are going CRAZY today.

@Sparty18 - I have a 3-day work week, too. We have parent-teacher conferences and then have the rest of this week and all of next week to relax and recharge before we finish out the semester. I cannot believe tomorrow is the beginning of March!

@ladystinson - So sorry about CD2. I hope AF goes away soon for you. I agree, as much as I hate knowing AF is coming, watching the patterns in my temps while charting is very fascinating to me.

@SandwichLover - Yay, Jane Austen! My senior seminar for undergrad was Jane Austen. It was so much fun to reread all of her books and to discuss them with people who were equally obsessed.

@kellybean1988 - Where is your conference? What is it about? I have one coming up in April, which I'm super excited about. It will be in Baltimore, and I've never been there before. I also really enjoy being able to network with other professionals in the teaching world. It's so fun.

@houseofsetters - So sorry AF is being difficult for you!

@writeress - So sorry about CD1, but it sounds like you have a good attitude about it!

@Megzb510 - I'm not very good at CSing, but I would agree that it does look like CD36 is O day.

kellybean1988

@MissAmeliaPond  I love my dog like that too! I totally get it  

@BerkeBaby  my conference is for my state college admissions/high school college counseling organization (IACAC--Indiana Association for College Admission Counseling) and it's in Indianapolis (I am a college admissions officer). This is our yearly conference where we get together and share ideas, talk about the profession, network, and have a whole bunch of fun!! You will have fun at your conference. It is a nice chance to get away, meet like-minded people, and learn a whole lot of new stuff!!  My problem is always and will be keeping my food and drink consumption in check...there's always way too much delicious food at these things, not to mention social dinner outings. Ack!

@sammajane19 I did my first round of Clomid last month, which was cycle 8. We originally went to the RE because of a possible MFI issue (turned out it was fine), which is why we only waited 6 months. I'm 34. My experience with Clomid so far has been fine, except for the fact that I didn't get pregnant, haha. I didn't have any side effects on 50mg. I had a baseline and two follow-up ultrasounds before I O'd on my own. I had two follicles but they didn't get quite as big as they like to see, although my RE didn't think it was a huge concern. But she did bump me up to 100mg this cycle so we'll see how that works.

ETA If you are having long and irregular cycles, I don't think it would be unreasonable to request a referral, but I really don't have any experience with that. I'm not sure if that's something that is normally treated by your OBGYN or if it's recommended to see a RE earlier.
