Alright, feeling well enough at this point to tackle this for the day. Here I go!
@MamaMunn - I’m a morning person, largely because I can’t sleep in no matter how hard I try. I’m honestly okay with it, but DH does not get it AT ALL. I’m glad that you’re getting the shift that you’d prefer to be on here shortly!
@MrsDramaK - Hey, if you got even one time in, there is still hope. *hugs* and FX for you.
@l9i - While I’m sorry for your loss, I’m glad that AF wasn’t too bad.
@sldp123 - Well, FX that the test goes well. Was your RE at least monitoring during your Clomid use?
@pretzel2plus1 - mobile bumping pretty much promises a huge picture from your phone!
@babymish - still sad to see you here, os more *hugs*. You’re right, there’s not a lot that you can do about that trip. FX that you get some good timing in regardless of the trip.
@JediAlly85 - FX that you get good timing in. You’re both champs for 4am BD! FYI, I believe it was decided a while ago on this board that TWs aren’t needed for children.
@atcwag - Nice water consumption! I water! Forest not trees applies to the sex too. Try not to get too upset about one missed day if you’ve got others in your FW. I know, I know, easier said than done!
@QueenSunscreen - Cake for breakfast is delicious. I’ve only made one layer cake, and they are definitely difficult! Well… okay… it was our wedding cake for cutting, so I made a practice one and then the actual wedding cake, so I’ve made two.
@2Dash - Weekend FW is so nice! FX that it really does line up that way.
@mrsdee15 - I know it’s really difficult, but try not to let that worry you so much. From what I hear, 3 days isn’t incredibly unusually short.
@mtvkv5 - Could be a random low temp, could mean you’re going to O, it’s impossible to tell just today. Remember, you’re looking at the forest, not the trees, so try not to get obsessed with a single temp.
@houseofsetters - Glad you got one more morning of extra sleep!
@Lecool - Oof, sorry that you had to follow a pity party up with a migraine and feeling like crap. Hope you’re doing better soon!
@20T - Yes! My FF has been freezing a decent amount!
@TotororyInLove - oh no. that is not anywhere near enough sleep. I hope you get to catch up soon and that your DH is feeling better soon!
@whiska - Oh my goodness, that is a doozy of a 48 hours! Hope you’re able to get some extra sleep tonight! I have tipsy bumped before!
@linzrunz - LOL at your husband! And Yay for pay day!
@mokay19 - FX that you have a good talk with your doctor.
@Rottiemom86 - so sorry for CD1! *hugs* as far as when you should start testing, definitely read the information that comes with the OPKs. It’s different for each brand, and I’ve found that starting them early just gives me false positives and extra stress that comes with those (37 or 38 day cycles). I usually O around CD23 or 24, so I start my OPKs around CD17… though I’m changing that this cycle because of acupuncture.
@zrain - There you go! Way to fit some sex in! FX that you end up with good timing this cycle!
@NamelessAria - Yay for a high OPK— FX for a peak soon! Oh man, I forgot about my ferrying microscope. I got one last cycle and tried it a couple days then it got lost in the OPK drawer… I may need to dig that out. And ouch! that sounds painful! I hope you’re feeling better soon!
@Kenya715 - CD4 is so early— FX that your temps even out (which they probably will).
@jenmlangtake2 - I hope your body stops being so erratic soon.
@meilay - I’m jealous of your jet tub. Getting comfortable is definitely a good goal for your first cycle, but it could still happen!
@leksiL - Wooho! Welcome! Yes, stopping mid-cycle is not the best, so just know that it might make things a little wacky for you. Unfortunately it’s impossible to say where you are in your cycle without temping, so I definitely encourage you to get that BBT when you can! Also, that instructor sounds seriously annoying! I hope you’re done soon?!
@e=mc21 - Sorry that your AF has been brutal. I am not on medicine for heavy flow, so I have no suggestions on that.
@kfair001 - Sorry that work has been busy, but I bet the distraction is nice.
@Kristen627 - I’m glad you’re in a good place today!
@aliciabhen - I’m definitely considering setting an earlier alarm time for next cycle and then counting on being able to fall back asleep! FX that the new time works out well for you.

@thefarmerswife0411 Thank you! This pic is actually from right before Christmas. They did such a good job I couldn't help but take a pic! The nails are off now though, too hard (and expensive) to maintain!
@lecool Thank you! I found an insert I liked, sent the picture along to DHs aunt, and she did all the hard work from there. I was so happy with the way it came out.
@mrsdho11 1. I super admire your dedication to replying to everyone! 2. Thank you. With this new 'habit' of waking up between 1-2 am it seems like my best bet. Since I'm used to waking up once or twice to use the bathroom at night I don't usually have trouble falling asleep, so I'm hoping the 2 minutes it takes to use the thermometer and record it doesn't change that!
@Lecool@kristen629 Of course we had a wod with 300 DUs tonight!!! I have wip marks all up my arms..ugh! I am still deathly sore from 16.1 because we had to do it Monday, oh man it was a killer! I did scaled and only got like 171 reps because i used a 45 lb bar instead of 35! How did you do?
Can't wait for Friday!

@MrsDho11@mrsdee15@Zoey1019 thanks for your responses! The box doesnt go up as high as my cycle length! I also have an appt with my OBGYN for 2 weeks to see what he says about the growing length of my cycle.
@MrsDho11 oh yeah, I was/am being monitored. I had three ultrasounds last cycle and will have at least one this cycle. I just hope she was right about my tubes. She said if I had never been pregnant she would have done the test first. But my son is almost 8 so I don't see how that's even valid.

@Zoey1019 I did RX and got 112. I was happy with that, since C2B aren't my strongest movement. I wasted a lot of time (probably 2-3 minutes) in the first round with them. Once I got my technique down, I was fine and was able to get them, but at first I got the height, just couldn't make contact with the bar. It was super frustrating!

@NamelessAria looooooong a Saliva microscope!!!! Cool ttc toy!! I think I need that in my arsenal. How do you like it so far?

@gardeniagirlknits It's been a fun toy so far. I was honestly really frustrated before yesterday with it. I was convinced it didn't work and I'd wasted the $30. Yesterday I viewed the saliva after the recommended 5 minute drying time and nothing so I'm like "whatever this is stupid!" but then I decided to get it back out later to clean it off and was like "I'll just double check that there isn't any ferning I missed" and well, there was definitely some little tiny ferns here and there. I can only conclude that it just takes way longer for ferning to show up than the 5 minutes they're claiming. Or maybe I'm just using too much saliva and that is what is making it take so long to dry. Either way!
I'm sorta turning myself into a science experiment this cycle and I'm seeing how well CM, cervical texture/hight/openess, advanced OPKs (the ones that check estrogen also) and a saliva microscope line up. So far I started getting EWCM several days before either a high on the advanced OPK or partial ferning on the microscope. My cervix has been the same high, medium, closed that is has been since my period ended. So no changes there to compare.

@leksiL That darn Amazon! haha I use my sister's prime account and she uses mine when we buy stuff for our DHs. But we are not telling anyone we are TTC (hence one reason why I'm here!), so I can't do it! I'll try to be patient and temp for the next couple of cycles. I would have already bought them at the store, but we live in such a small town that it wouldn't stay secret for long. We know everyone which is nice sometimes and really annoying other times.

@NamelessAria & @anj27 Thanks for your help! I'm typically up to pee about an hour or so before my alarm goes off, so definitely more than 3 hours of sleep. Even though the Mabis is super cheap, I was wavering on temping more because I guard my sleep like a pitbull and had no intention of setting any early alarms to temp. But if I can just play around with temping before I use the restroom, I'll try that.
