WAYDTGKU:  The normal things

R/R/CS:  ugh I am just not a morning person no matter how hard I try.  Good thing I only have to work 1 more day shift after today and then I get to move to 2nd shift.  Woo! 
GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! 

My favorite is my wedding band and engagement ring.  I think DH did good

WAYDTGKU:  All of the things that have cute little abbreviations on here

R/R/CS:  So, since I normally get AF on day 29 when I got my high temp on day 31 I thought it was a little weird.  Honestly kicking myself for giving up and assuming O wasn't coming this month cause our BD timing sucked as a result. But one more high temp tomorrow will confirm O and at least we HIO on my possible O day so there's still hope?

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! The only piece of jewelry I wear every day is my engagement ring, my mom helped pick it and they did a great job. No idea how to add photos from mobile so I'm gonna skip that part lol

CD: 52

WAYDTGKU: Waiting for AF. Last dose of progesterone was Monday night so hopefully it will be soon.

R/R/CS: Really over this cycle! I've never been so excited for AF in my life.

GTKY: my engagement ring and wedding band, which I'm happy to AW again. But I don't have pics of it on my phone.

WAYDTGKU:  Temping/charting

R/R/CS:  **TW** With this being the first cycle after my MC they warned me it could be worse/heavier than normal.  It was actually on the normal/short side so AF appears to be done!  Now on to the fun

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! I love my engagement/wedding ring!  People comment all the time about how much it sparkles and catches the light.  That's the only piece I absolutely wear every single day.  I also really like my pandora bracelet too.  DH gave it to me the day of our wedding so it has a lot of meaning to it in each of the charms he picked out.  We've also added to it for our honeymoon and vacations so when I look at it, it's like memories of our life milestones since we've been married and I love that.

***TW - pregnancy briefly mentioned***

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD:  6

WAYDTGKU:  Temping, Clomid + TI, starting OPKs next week

R/R/CS:  I'm ashamed to even admit this. Even after reading excellent advice here, I let my RE prescribe Clomid without having an HSG first. She told me at our initial appointment that she didn't think it was a concern since I had a prior pregnancy, so it wasn't something she felt we needed to do right off the bat. We did labs and DH's SA, then after another unsuccessful cycle, she prescribed Clomid, and I never asked about an HSG. Granted, that's kind of her job, not mine, but I should have known better. She actually said I could do another 1-2 cycles before having it, and she is "sure" it will be normal, but would recommend it for sure before moving onto IUI. So I decided I might as well just get it over with now, so I'm having one tomorrow. Well, kind of, it's actually a HyCoSy (Hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography) which from what I understand is basically the same thing but uses a different solution and ultrasound instead of x-ray? Regardless, I'm really nervous about it, and I actually need to call them to see if I can even have it since I'm still spotting. They said I could not have it while I had AF.

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! The only jewelry I wear are my engagement/wedding rings, and sometimes a watch that DH got me for my birthday the first year we were dating.

WAYDTGKU: all the usual

R/R/CS: I think I had my first dud Wondfo OPK this morning. The dye only went up one side of the line area. It was weird. Thankfully I have plenty more where that came from! 

GTKY: I hope the picture isn't huge - mobile bumping! My ring needs to be cleaned so badly. I accidentally wore it while painting after we bought our house, and I got paint all in the little crevices! 

Edited to fix huge picture - sorry you guys had to look at that all day!

WAYDTGKU:  PNV, iron, baby aspirin 

R/R/CS:  I have go on another trip with work Sunday and get back next Friday (cd12) it's long haul so ovulation may get delayed (usually cd15). Not a lot I can do really.  

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! 

I love my Daniel Wellington watch although it's not really blingy. I like it for its simplicity.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD:  13

WAYDTGKU:  PNVs, OPKs, temping, BD EOD, Metformin. 

R/R/CS:  Today was our 2nd 4am BD session and I am exhausted, and my poor DH was working late didnt get home until after midnight and then we woke up at 4 for BD, and then he was off to work again. He probably got like 2 or 3 hrs of sleep tops. But this is the only way we can get it down during the week so were keeping at it. Trying to stay positive this cycle and hope that we have good enough timing to have a good shot!

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! 

This is my favorite necklace. The L charm and diamond birthstone is for my son Liam. I plan to do the same when we have another child. I'm not  a big jewlery girl, but this and my wedding ring I wear every day.

WAYDTGKU:  all the things + EPO.

R/R/CS:  Let the FW begin! BD'ing starts tonight. Wouldn't it be great if this was the true meaning of "hump day"?   

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! Definitely my engagement ring and wedding band. My engagement ring is an estate ring from the 1930s and my wedding band is an eternity band that sort of looks like an infinity sign going all the way around. I love how unique it looks and how the old fashioned method of cutting the stone makes it glimmer so dramatically. I get a ton of compliments!

WAYDTGKU:  At the moment just BBT and PNVs.

R/R/CS:  Feeling a bit more confident after DH's awesome SA results yesterday.  Of course it has me more worried that I have an issue, but for now I'm just going to be happy with the great SA results.  

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! 
Well, my favorite bling is definitely my engagement ring/wedding band that DH went over the top with, but I feel like that is the obvious answer.  So, my other piece is sentimental, it is my grandpa's pearl tie tack he used to always wear that my mom turned into a necklace with a diamond for me after he passed away 5 years ago.

WAYDTGKU:  PNV, diet, exercise, still having all the sex

R/R/CS:  Today is the last regular day before spring break and I couldn't be more excited! Conferences tomorrow afternoon, then time to relax and get ready for the end of the semester!! I've needed an extended break since my aunt passed away in January. It's just been one thing after the other. Looking forward to my blood draw with my OBGYN's office on Friday. I'm hoping to have some answers.

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! My engagement ring/ wedding band!! Excuse the dark picture, I was trying to be sneaky while my students start their beginning of class work. ETA: I need a manicure soooo bad and my skin is SUPER dry!

WAYDTGKU:  Just got my Mabis in yesterday so as of this morning, temping! 

R/R/CS:  Excited to actively start trying this month. Now that I have my BBT I feel much more in control. 

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! 
Other than my wedding/engagement rings, my favorite piece is my "Mother's Ring" that I bought after my DD was born. It has her birthstone on top and her name and birth date engraved on the inside of the band. I don't have it on today but here is a pic of it from the website.

WAYDTGKU:  today starts BD EOD when I get home from my conference today!!!

R/R/CS:  YOU GUYS!!! Yesterday I won the "rising professional" award for our STATE organization at this conference! My boss nominated me and it was a huge surprise. This qualifies me to win the rising professional award now in our national org!! It was a major honor and I am so excited!!!! 

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! 

Mobile bumping so it would be a huge photo, but a few days ago I posted a pic of my engagement ring in the "what's the oldest thing you own" GTKY #lazy

@kellybean1988 - Congrats on your award! That is soooo exciting! I never win anything, so I will have to live vicariously through you!

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

R/R/CS: HUMP DAY! One week from today @ this moment I will be drinking an espresso WITH REAL MILK- Praise the lord the countdown is on (whole30) lol. I will just go ahead & apologize now because I will be talking about milk a lot over the next week lol. 

Also noting a finally had another rise this morning, I think if I rise again tomorrow FF will say I O around CD11/12... we shall see! 

GTKY: I hate jewelry & always have- that is until DH got my engagement ring Since I shared it within the last 48hrs due to my crazy "adventure" with it last week, I won't repost but yea! Hands down my engagement ring

WAYDTGKU:  usual + acupuncture 

R/R/CS:  I'm sleeping very hot lately and I'm not sure if it's because 1) it's been warmer during the day here-- this would likely resolve at least temporarily over the next few days 2) I'm fighting off a cold (I've had off/on congestion and cough with a sore throat) or 3) acupuncture... She worked on my circulation and my feet have definitely been less cold.

bottom line though is that I don't like to change my amount of socks or blankets during my cycle because it messes with my temps, but I'm not really sure my temps will be able to go up much more post-O!  So I'm starting to be concerned that I'm not going to see a temp shift this cycle.

GTKY: The only jewelry I regularly wear is my wedding rings on a chain around my neck.

WAYDTGKU:  stuff

R/R/CS:  This week I have talked incessantly about the huge pile of marking I'm working my way through....soon it will be over....but not yet. On a happier note, DH and I went to the bank today to inquire about a mortgage and it looks like a possibility. If you would have told me even 9 months ago that we'd be contemplating buying our first place in [Country where we live but definitely are not from], I'd have called you crazy!

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged!
tie: either my engagement ring/wedding band combo that DH picked out all on his own in university OR the necklace/bracelet (can't pick one!) that DH got me for our first Christmas married..we aren't big expensive gift givers, but DH went ALL OUT that first Christmas....I wore a pearl necklace on our wedding day (two silver strands that twist together with pearls scattered through it), and DH got me a bracelet that is essentially the same thing as that, and the necklace is a silver drop necklace with a single pearl on it....very pretty. The school I work at requires the teachers to dress quite well, so I actually do get a lot of wear out of them now! (not at our old school at all, but at this one!)

**Question in R/R/CS**
Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD:  17

WAYDTGKU:  Everything...

R/R/CS:  So DH is now officially worn out! lol I am almost 100% that I O'ed yesterday. When I put in two more high temps it gives me CH on Tuesday. I have all my normal signs and my temp this morning was well above any of my "drinking" days, which leads me to believe I will be on my way to TWW soon! I am so so happy that my body got it together and did it in a timely fashion this month, I almost can't  believe it! 

*Question/Chart Stalk: How come my O date last month was the day after my positive OPK, but this month it is the day of. I am sure the answer is temps, and since I have so many open circles, I bet its messing with this, but wanted to see if anyone had any more opinions! I am sure it will be a clearer picture once I get a few more temps. 

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! 

I will follow suite here! Sorry for size and my ugly desk and nails! My engagement ring and wedding band, after that it would be a necklace I had made with my moms engagement diamond.

R/R/CS: Super bummed about entering our 6th month. 

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! I'm not really a jewelry person and only wear my engagement/wedding rings daily. Wearing earrings very rarely makes me feel super fancy.

WAYDTGKTFU: Goal of 100 oz H2O/day - I got 112 yesterday!  HIO ED (but I needed a break yesterday...told myself skipping would be better for DH's sperm count...), PNV+DHA, temping & charting. 

R/R/CS: I had a slight dip in temp today, so if today is O day and I skipped sex last night I'm gonna be disappointed, but I just needed a break. We'll see...

GTKY:
My engagement, wedding band and baby band. When DH and I got engaged, I remember how thin my band looked compared to some of my friends' (then felt like a total jerk for not being thankful). Everything happens for a reason because I'm excited to add a baby band for each child and I couldn't do that if the bands were thick.

WAYDTGKU: Charting

R/R/CS: I think AF is on her way out. So excited. I was at the gym the other day in the squat rack, at the bottom of a squat when suddenly I felt like I had sprung a leak. I have never had that happen before even though people sometimes talk about peeing at the bottom of their max lift. Glad my workout pants are black!

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged! I don't think I can show this because it's so inappropriate but I'll link it. There's this fake magazine watch ad online. As far as I can tell, it's totally fake. But for my birthday a couple of years ago, my OH actually tracked someone down on ebay that had made a near-replica of that watch. The funny part is that it has a black face for about 45 seconds of every minute and then cuts to the "TTF" part for 15 seconds. When he got it for me, it was in need of repair because the second hand kept getting stuck so I had to take it to a repair guy who was like the sweetest old man I have ever met and I felt so awkward about it!

@MrsDho11 I am sorry your temps are giving you issues  I hope the picture becomes clearer in the next few days, FX you will see a rise! 

@thefarmerswife0411 I can't live without my latte in the morning! Congrats on almost being done! FX you O'ed and we can move over!

@kellybean1988 Congrats!! That is super exciting!

@BerkeBaby We are ring twins! Yours is beautiful (everyones are!) since I love the shape  FX the blood draw gives you the results you are looking for! At least you are taking some steps.

@sparty18 happy to hear DHs SA results came back good! At least that is one issue you don't have to worry about..

@babymish I swear my ovulation was delayed a day just because I went to DHs parents house this weekend, like my body knew! It is pretty crazy! FX yours does what you want it to!

yay. love bling! my favorite piece of jewelry is my engagement ring! i did a little photo shoot with my ring and a flashlight a few years back when we lost power during hurricane sandy. haha.

@Zoey1019 - I was just admiring yours! Love it! I was super impressed with DH for picking an oval shape. I never would have picked it out for myself, but the moment I put it on I was like...



@atcwag - Are you, by chance, wearing Jamberries in your picture? Love me some Jamberry!

WAYDTGKU:  vitamins and sex and stuff. 

R/R/CS:  nothing major. I attempted my first layer cake last night and it turned out a bit... Messy. Got some tips from my mother for the next one while eating a bit of cake for breakfast my blackberry and vanilla combo was delicious though!

GTKY:  hands down, my engagement ring is my favorite. It's antique and the center stone is an old European cut. The cut makes the stone look bigger than it is (.58 carat) in my opinion, and the sparkle factor in dim lighting is beautiful!  I picked it out but my husband managed to surprise me with it - he had the jeweler tell me that it had already been sold when I called them to ask about it. Which I guess was the truth

R/R/CS:  None now. **ETA: I was wrong, I have some.  My periods are always short (~3 days) and pretty light. I was listening to a podcast on fertility and she mentioned that this may be an issue, so now I'm going down a bad "it'll never happen" TTC spiral.

WAYDTGKU: temping and OPKs, except I was so sleepy this morning I forgot to use the OPK! CBAD says to use FMU, but I guess I will just use the second.

R/R/CS: Had a big temp drop this morning, lowest temp this cycle even though I had a few margaritas last night. This is my first month temping so I have no idea what that means.  

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged!  My engagement ring is my fav. DH had it custom designed, one of his friends' dad is jewelry designer. For our 1st anniversary, he had the sketches framed   

Zoey1019

@mtvkv5 FX it is a good sign! That is one thing I notice with my two temped cycles so far, a big dip down and then I ovulated a day or two after. Have you started trying to track CM? I find this is one of my biggest signs to help me get more BD in the fertile week before my temp drop or my OPK goes positive. 

BigBadWolf12

@atcwag  I love that idea for baby bands! I'm totally going to do that!

I have thought of doing a "family band" - with a stone of each birth month for DH, me, and any future kids (and our wedding month if we needed it for symmetry/to look better) but I hated the thought of having to wait until all future kids are born to do it....and then if there was ever an oops after we thought we were finished (obviously not planning it, but it's happened to more than one couple I know!) then we'd have to get it redone so they wouldn't be left out! haha
(I still want to do the family band for my MIL because she says she has always wanted a ring but no one buys one for her...I think she'd love it and she's definitely done having kids, so I think we'd be pretty safe there!)

@Zoey1019 Really? Thanks for the tip! Haven't really started to track CM yet, even though I know I should!

R/R/CS:  Busy week at work, I'm missing my normal bumping time!! I'll have to catch up on everyone later!

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged!
I love my wedding rings, but my very favorite piece of jewelry is the first piece of jewelry my dad ever gave my mom, when they were dating. It's nothing fancy, but has huge sentimental value. I'll have to attach a picture when I get home if I remember!

@kellybean1988 Congrats on the award!

@canavara I have definitely sprung a little leak during heavy squats before! Accidental pee + sweaty nether regions is precisely why I don't wear gray/light workout pants. Dark colors only!

WAYDTGKU: Temping, Waiting for AF to GTFO, then OPKs 

R/R/CS: I had a CD1 pity party for myself yesterday, and then was ready to move forward. Then I got this huge migraine and went to sleep at 6:30 PM last night, and woke up at my usual 3:30 AM to temp, and my BBT was 99.52. When I took it again after waking up, it was over 100. Fever, sore throat, exhaustion, headache. Feeling like CRAP. 

GTKY: Show us your bling! What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own? Pictures encouraged!
My wedding ring. It's the only piece of jewelry that I wear daily.

@BerkeBaby - Why yes I am!  Thank you for noticing!!!  I  them!  Gel topcoat OVER wraps had changed my life. These wraps are 2 weeks and 1 day old. I do dishes 2x/day, have a 2 y/o and work in healthcare; so constantly using hand sanitizer. They are still not even close to coming off. Other than my nails growing out, they look great!  I'm FINALLY hosting an online FB party later this month.

SOME women get a large temp drop the day of ovulation, which would be confirmed by a sustained rise after. If you have "normal" 28ish day cycles, this would be an expected day of O. With that said, there is huge variability. I would use an OPK/check CM to have a better guess.
