R/R/CS: I am tired of having all of these damned pregnancy symptoms and then when I POAS I continue to get BFNs! Yesterday, I was at work and nearly threw up on the break room table when my co-worker started heating up her Lean Cuisine in the microwave. I ended up skipping lunch all together and I used my last Zofran tab that I have been saving for a rainy day. I wish AF would just get here already if it truly is a BFN! I have gone through three tests in the last week! I had a dream last night that I tested positive and I woke up crying.
@MedicMomma84 - I don't know anything about your life, but just wanted to let you know that Zofran has been reevaluated by the FDA and is now cautioned to use during pregnancy. If you have a legitimate reason to take it that's one thing, but I'd make sure your prescribing doc knows your TTC. I believe it's only being prescribed to patients that are PG in the event of severe morning sickness when there's nutrition concerns. I just wanted to mention it since it's been somewhat recently reclassified as a possible risk during PG and how you said you were saving it for a rainy day, which makes me feel like you're not taking it for a chronic issue.
@sarah0985 I’m glad there are other baseball fans here! DH
and I are fanatics. But I know you’re a Cubs fan. We’re from Pittsburgh, so…
haha. But (sadly) you guys are going to have a really good team again this
year.
@nwegman7878 you can do it! You’re more than halfway there,
haha. And you are going to end up with amazing timing.
@mrsdaddario I can’t remember the last time I told someone
congrats on CD1, but congrats! Happy for you, haha. And I will definitely give
a shout out to Aprodite today.
@vintageandrea90 since you just started charting (I think)
it’s probably going to be really hard to know what’s going on just yet. Just
keep doing what you’re doing and HIO. Fx you end up with a chart that makes
sense soon!
@beary67 sounds like a fun night of basketball! Our team
plays tonight too so I’m pretty excited. And we don’t get to move into our new
house until late May/early June. The sellers are building a house and it won’t
be done until sometime in May, so they are renting the house back from us after
closing. I’m sad that we still have to wait a while, but it will give us time
to sell my current house while they pay our new mortgage, so it actually works
out for everyone.
@canavara Fx you can confirm O tomorrow! I’m hopefully doing
the same so I think that would make us cycle twins? One CD off but same DPO, so
that’s something, right? Cycle cousins? Haha. See you in TWW hopefully.
@DiFazette yay for a full night of sleep! And 7 days in a
row, with a 2yo? You’re my hero.
@britters314 sorry for CD1. And Fx for a Christmas baby!
Haha
@brambles1 or should I say Aunt Brambles? Congrats on your
new nephew!
@teamginger13 Glad your appointment timing is working out for
you this time. I’m in the same boat, obviously don’t want to tell my 60yo male
boss what’s going on, but I feel like I need time off every week at least once.
Luckily no one has commented, so maybe they haven’t noticed. Fx so hard for you
this cycle!
@Marley629 I’m with you, wtf is up with this weather? We
aren’t getting anywhere near a foot, but we are probably going to get a little
snow and I thought we were done with that.
@PennStateCait Yay for a +OPK! Fx for O tomorrow, or even
Sunday, you will still have great timing! So glad it seems like it will happen
for you before your trip, and now you will have a great distraction for the
first part of your TWW.
@Lecool Fx for another high temp! Hope to see you on TWW
tomorrow!
@cjt121413 hope you feel better! Sounds like a good weekend
to have nothing to do tomorrow.
@PepperAT ugh, the dreaded man cold, haha. Hope he can power
through FW.
DS: June 2008 Married: July 2015 BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
@sldp123 i'm happy you think finally O'd! i don't want to see you back here tomorrow also, congrats on the new house!
@mrsdaddario hooray for AF! as someone with super long cycles, i know that feeling...it's like, now you can keep moving forward!
@brambles1 congratulations on becoming an auntie! how exciting!
@medicmama21 i agree with @sarah0985, it sounds like you might be in the TWW? if you're already taking tests.
Month/Cycle: 5/2
CD: 54
WAYDTGKU: Metformin, Provera, not much else right now, just waiting for AF to arrive
R/R/CS: Well, I made my first call to an RE this morning and left a vm. So we are moving forward on this. Hopefully I'll hear back later today or Monday and get an appointment that isn't 1083190102 days away. I was feeling pretty bummed yesterday about having to call an RE at all, but I feel better today. I just have to remind myself that it may be a long hard journey, but the end result will be worth it.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now? 1. It's Friday! 2. We're going out to dinner with my parents tomorrow and touring their new house! They're closing on the place today. 3. DH, who has been wonderful and supportive of me right from the beginning of this process, and actually LISTENS to me when he misunderstands things about how the reproductive system actually works 4. My cats. Because they never not make me happy 5. My boss is out of the office today and I'll be ducking out early
AGHH QBF - @sldp123 - it's been 5 days so far. At least 2 more before I feel good about getting CH. And yes, there's been some dicey moments. I swear DS has radar. Poor H, DS is tossing and turning and I'm like - HURRY UP!
Let's see if I've finally figured this out, shall we? If not, laugh at me
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 7? I think.
WAYDTGKU: Pre-natals, charting, that kind of fun stuff.
R/R/CS: It was spring in my town on Tuesday, and on Wednesday it snowed some 6 inches and made driving hellish.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?
1. That I possibly figured this out. 2. Ya'll are willing to help me figure this out. 3. FRIDAY!! H is taking me on a lunch date 4. We're having a game night with H's cousins tomorrow and his aunt challenged me to a tequila shot contest. 5. I'm now doubly excited because she just texted me that we're barbecuing burgers for dinner.
Honorable mentions: Biggest IF support sister, sweetest bumpie, most genuine, LFAFer you'd most like to visit, great things come in small packages, pocket sized babe
WAYDTGKU: CM, SHOW, OPK, PNV, raspberry leaf tea, wishes
R/R/CS: Starting to get a little sensitive about my partner's sudden lack of interest in the bone zone. I always have a higher drive than him, but this week he's acting like any time I want to wine and dine him is a personal affront. Uh.... what? We're married, bro. I don't know if it's stress from his job or what, but it's starting to stress me out, especially because this weekend is likely the big window.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now? 1 My partner (notwithstanding aforementioned rant). 2 Our sweet doggie 3 It's SPRING and all of my great ideas for our first ever backyard can finally come to fruition 4 Just finished House of Cards, and Daredevil S2 comes out today! 5 Gonna have some jambalaya tonight. Also it's FREAKING FRIDAY AND I AM SO HAPPY.
Sorry guys I have to post and run for now. I'll try to come back later for some responses! Crazy busy at work.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: usual
R/R/CS: I ate wine and chocolate for dinner last night because it was cd 1. Obv.
GTKY: 1. FRIYAY 2. Hopefully eating out tonight or at least takeout. 3. Wine tonight ! 4. Lunch with my mom tomorrow. 5. Hopefully closing and moving into our new house in about 6 weeks!
@sarah0985 That is so cool that you are so active and hiked up a mountain in the morning! FX you get some ovulation insight soon.
@sldp123 Congrats on your upcoming new house! FX on clomid this cycle!
@nwegman7878 Your husband sounds like a sweet man! I love how dogs can sense when we are upset or emotional about something. They can be so comforting.
@zoey1019 Sorry for cramps . A road trip with DH sounds like so much fun!
@mrsdaddario I am SO happy AF finally came for you! And I had no idea it was Aphrodite Day, but we had sex twice this morning so I feel extra good about that! It was the first time this month, so maybe its because of the Aphrodite vibes that are around.
@vintageandrea90 I've heard so many things about hot yoga recently, thats awesome that you love it!
@beary67 Your Friday sounds like it's going to be awesome!
@baileybopsalot I'm crossing my fingers for you that you O this month! All I want right now is a chicken pot pie. I love Marie Callenders.
@DiFazette I'm glad your DH's project is over! My husband does PM for part of his role and I know its hard for them to not bring the stress home at the end of the day.
2 Laps and 1 Abdominal Myomectomy 6 rounds of clomid 5 rounds of iui Several HSG's sprinkled throughout the years to up my chances of a BFP Several dilation of cervix because they suspect the scar tissue is hindering it from fully opening (partially adds to the severe cramps all month) IVF #1 Gonal F, Menopur and Cetrotide ER 12/1/2016

AGHH QBF - @sldp123 - it's been 5 days so far. At least 2 more before I feel good about getting CH. And yes, there's been some dicey moments. I swear DS has radar. Poor H, DS is tossing and turning and I'm like - HURRY UP!
Haha, @DiFazette I feel you. I posted last week that my 7yo DS has radar and must not want a sibling. He NEVER goes to sleep at a reasonable time during FW. It's exhausting.
DS: June 2008 Married: July 2015 BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
teamginger13 I'm glad you got a weekend appointment. Trying to get out of work without telling anyone is so difficult. I really struggled this month. FX for you this next cycle.
Marley629 Eeeeek that weather sounds terrible. I hope the snow stays away for both of us.
R/R/CS: My temps are all over the place because I haven't been sleeping at night. I think I'm fixing to ovulate on my left side because I'm getting sharp cramps, woohoo!!
GTKY:
1. Sex. We had sex this morning and I can feel my mood is completely different. Why aren't we doing this more often!?
2. My new camera lens. I've been hopping around all morning taking pics of the garden. I love morning dew!
3. DH. I love that he gets to work from home sometimes and since I work from home as well we get to spend the day together.

cjt121413 I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I just started O SS as well and I feel like a crazy woman. It's almost as bad as the TWW. With this Clomid I'm all like...
sammajane19 I hope you heard from your RE soon. I know sitting in limbo sucks.
hunnybunny17 I'm glad your break was helpful but we're glad you're back.
TheJerilu Sorry about DH. It's hard for us to "get in the mood" so to speak and we usually end up talking about some random tangent. We actually had a discussion about trying to up the spontaneity but my DH is boring and not spontaneous in the least. GL with everything.
SandwichLover That sounds like my favorite meal. Well the chocolate and alcohol part at least.
@nwegman7878 Good luck with the next three days! Your strategy is opposite of mine this month... I figured that HIO everyday in the FW has never worked before so now I'm going for EOD. Also, I'm so glad you have such a good support group both online and in real life.
@zoey1019 Boo cramps. And I agree, just thinking about the TWW makes me feel anxious and worried knowing how it will likely end.
@mrsdaddario Yay for AF!!! It's always weird to say that on this board, but I am really happy for you!
@vintageandrea90 One of my best friends is also hoping to finish her nursing degree in December and she cannot wait! FX you get in to the summer program.
@beary67 I am really, really jealous that you are not only leaving work early, but that you are getting a mani/pedi!
@baileybopsalot FX for AF (again, a strange thing to type on this board). Also, you are making me crave a chicken pot pie.
@DiFazette Ahh I hate delayed O and having to prolong HIO. Power through!
@thefarmerswife0411 Mmm, love corned beef and smoked corned beef sounds incredible. My H also likes smoking meat as a hobby and I'm trying to convince him to do a brisket for Easter (classic Easter dinner, right?).
@britters314 So sorry for CD1---hope you have something fun to do tonight to take your mind off TTC.
@brambles1 Congrats on becoming an aunt! Being an aunt is the best (until, I can only assume, you become a mom). Also, we were just in WY last summer--so beautiful!
@teamginger13 GL with sono and I am envious of your 80 degree weather.
@marley629 Aaah PLL. I also started watching in marathon form and am still so addicted. It's never ending.
@MedicMomma84 PP already mentioned, but I think you are in the TWW, not WTO. Hope you get an answer (BFP or AF) soon!
@PennStateCait Woo hoo for +OPK and being about to HIO before leaving. Have a good spring break! I work in two different districts and of course they have different breaks so I am working half and half. Regretting that decision now as I work in a school that is on break next week.
@cjt121413 Hope you feel better! Enjoy your weekend.
@pepperat Love casual day! Where in AZ are you going? If you happen to be going to Sedona, you must go to Cafe Elote (gourmet Mexican food). I seriously had one of the best meals of my life there (that sounds dramatic, but it's true).
@sammajane19 FX you hear from your doc--I'm glad to hear you are feeling better about going to an RE. Remember, it's just one step closer to the final goal!
@dilynne Your game night sounds fun! A tequila shot contest does sound slightly risky though, lol.
@thejerilu Sorry about frustration with your SO. I often wish H would initiate every once in awhile...it's nice to feel desired, ya know!?
@sandwichlover Wine and unhealthy snacks with no shame is the only good thing about CD1. Good luck with your new house--very exciting!
@winnie81 Very nice pic! I've wanted to invest in a nice camera (i.e., not a phone camera) for awhile, but we've always said we'd get one after having kids. Maybe we should just go for it anyway since it might be awhile, ha!
Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: entering the fertile week. all systems go.
R/R/CS: I am pleased because today is the first day of my predicted FW and I had some EWCM right on cue. Love when things work as they're supposed to.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now? 1. As almost everyone else mentioned, the fact that it is Friday is making me REALLY happy. 2. It's my mom's birthday and we are going to my favorite restaurant tonight (that sounds really self-centered that we're going to my favorite restaurant on her birthday, but she loves it, too!). 3. H not having to work at all this weekend. LOVE lazy Saturday mornings. 4. Upcoming trips planned for spring break and summer. 5. The fact that it was really easy for me to come up with many things I am happy about! Life's not so bad, after all. Thanks @beary67 for this GTKY.
@mrsdaddario FINALLY CD1! I'm so excited for you. I don't know how you survived a cycle that long.
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: PNV, extra folic acid, apparently DH let me sex him every day for FW!, still doing OPKS just in case, wearing a sensor to monitor my blood sugar for really tight control
R/R/CS: Rave: I had a temp spike this morning! Rant: I had two glasses of wine last night, so I'm hoping it was a true spike and not an alcohol induced one
GTKY:
1. DH's birthday was great and he was really happy yesterday! 2. ...which led to FABULOUS BD last night! 3. I'm about to go get blood drawn for my endocrinologist appt next week, I'm excited to see what my HbA1C is!!! 4. Possible temp spike 5. DH and our dog Raider

@felix08 it's a weird thing about where I teach. (UAE) for whatever reason, if a holiday is marked for a certain day, they just take it upon themselves to not come in a few days before. Some I won't see the entire week. It's strange but I certainly cannot complain we still have to go in so we are having a potluck on Wednesday.
In december, we had a five day weekend for our national day of independence and then winter break 2 weeks after. I didn't see some students the week before national day (around November 20ish) until school resumed January 10ish. Weird phenomenon that happens here the the school board cannot figure out how to stop. (No truancy laws here. And either way I teach pre-k. So truancy wouldn't be that strict anyway)
TTC1: May 2015
Primary IF May 2016; Failed HSG; Scheduled Lap Sept. 2016
WAYDTGKU: For now focusing on diet - cutting out added sugars might help me the most. I was eating 2-5x my suggested value every day.
R/R/CS: Rant - this was way too long so I cut it down. Basically: 1) Medical billing is stuck in the gosh damn dark ages and apparently the infertile are discriminated against so now I need to wait 2 months for my hormone panels that I already waited 3 months for an appointment to get. 2) How I feel right now about paying into insurance all these years:
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now? 1. This community. I keep dreaming I tell people - my mom, sister, friends - that we're trying to conceive because I want to talk about it so badly. So thanks for being here. 2. It's a day late but beef stew and Irish soda bread for dinner tonight! 3. My diet changes to reduce sugar are going well; I'm proud of myself. But not too proud cause that's when I tend to fall off the wagon 4. I get to see my niece and nephews next weekend! 5. Leaving for vacation in less than a month
Back with my lunch in a bit for comments!

@whiska Sorry you're so frustrated about insurance. I was talking to my mom the other day about how I want to move to Canada for the health care and she said it's bad because you have to wait for months to get things done and I'm like we have to wait for months to get things done here, too!
R/R/CS: DH is home from his trip, and today I got a positive OPK! Perfect timing, I'm so glad this cycle isn't a loss.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?
1. Good friends and family. 2. DH and I are both healthy and happy. 3. Having Fridays off. I'm a little under the weather so I am in bed relaxing and just put on Shakespeare in Love. 4. These big purple flowers bloomed outside our condo, and now whenever we open our windows the condo smells sweet. It's really nice. 5. This community, as a great support system, always making me laugh, and keeping me sane and grounded.
DD born PPROM preemie at 36 weeks on 10/1/17 after over a year TI, then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW, because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
**Meltdown/Rant Warning because I'm being whinny and emotional**
So my grandmother who doesn't know that we're struggling just sent me a picture of a candle from my 1st birthday asking if I remembered it. She then informed me that she's been saving it for when we have our first child. She lives in Florida and wants us to come visit so she can give it to us. I know she doesn't know any better but I'm having a meltdown in my office cubicle and just want to leave. And she's one of those people that just keeps on and keeps on so I don't want to tell her that we're struggling after two losses. Sorry for the rant ladies but I just had to vent to someone. I feel like I'm going to explode.
@whiska I had a dream last week that I told my mom we are TTC. We are super close, and she watches DS for me in the morning, so I feel like I've been keeping this huge secret from her especially lately, when I am dropping DS off in the morning before "work" but really going to the RE. I remember waking up from that dream feeling like a weight had been lifted. But I'm just not ready to tell anyone yet, so I'm so thankful for this board too.
DS: June 2008 Married: July 2015 BFP: 5/20/16 | EDD: 1/28/17 | Twin boys born 1/16/17
R/R/CS: My husbands coworker (who has a steady job, just got engaged, and is buying a house) just got accidentally KU, and for a minute she didn't know if she was going to keep it. It filled me with feelings.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now? 1. It's been warm and sunny all week and I feel like a happy little daisy 2. I'm at a point in my cycle where I can drink freely 3. Organizing 4. Superman comes out in a week 5. Coffeeehh

@nwegman7878 Oh no I'm sorry your having it rough today! Maybe if you subtly hint that you're working on it, she'll drop it? Though you did say she was persistent. *creepy Internet hugs* Be kind to yourself today. Eat lots of chocolate.
YES finally I have the ability to not post and ghost! I've been wanting to do this for so long! Also I'm having a hard time tagging, is that a problem for anyone else? Maybe my computer is just being weird.
@sarah0985 Fx you O soon! That's a crazy hike too, my legs are tired for you! Sounds fun though! Do you cook a lot? I love to cook, but haven't had time recently to do it as much as I'd like.
@sldp123 Fx for your crosshairs and that you get to go over to the TWW!
@nwegman7878 You have some willpower, I have a hard time with EOD/every day during the fertile window, and that's not all that long! I had something similar just happen, I think because I was sick I had a temp spike yesterday but it went back down today, and finally got a positive OPK today (they were all negative before). Is that something FF will discard on its own? I marked it as "illness" but do you recommend discarding it instead? I'm just curious. Fx for your O soon! Also, your bunny pic both cracks me up and freaks me out. Just also saw your post about your grandmother's comment, I'm so sorry that happened.
@Zoey1019 Sorry about the cramps. That's awesome that you have a fun weekend ahead, I hope you enjoy it!
@mrsdaddario YES! I don't think I've ever been so happy for someone to get CD! I hope this cycle goes better for you and your tests go well!
@vintageandrea90 Do you normally turn OPKs? It's probably a good idea to keep HIO just in case (not that that's a bad thing). Congratulations on your weight loss! That's a great accomplishment.
@beary67 This was a great idea for a GTKY! I love hearing the non-TTGP things going on in everyone's lives, it helps me feel more connected to everyone. Your plans for tonight sound so fun! What are you cooking?
@BaileyBopsALot Another yay for CD1 (I think, I hope that wasn't sarcastic and I didn't pick up on it, if it was then sorry for CD1)! Also I hope your recovery is going well! Sorry this round didn't go well, fx for you and this cycle.
@DiFazette 7 days is so tough, fx you O soon! That's great your DH is done with that project!
@thefarmerswife0411 London is one of my favorite places in the world too. I hope your in-laws had a good time in Ireland! Where did they go? We were just there not long ago on our honeymoon.
@britters314 Sorry about CD1. I love the idea of a Christmas baby too! Fx for you this cycle!
@brambles1 Huge congratulations to your sister! How exciting! That's an awesome dinner your DH made you, and your cross-country trip sounds amazing!
@teamginger13 I hope your next appointment goes well, and that's great it's on a weekend!
@Marley629 That weather is insane! I was reading this is one of the worst years for allergies, it's definitely hitting DH pretty hard. I hope your wedding planning is going well!
@MedicMomma84 I'm sorry about the fight and the BFNs, I hope everything gets worked out soon. Those dreams can be brutal, creepy internet hugs to you. Do you know if you've Oed? If you have, you can post in the TWW thread.
@PennStateCait Yay on the positive OPK! I just got one today too! Fx you O soon!
@Lecool Fx for your crosshairs! And I agree, I'm glad it's Friday also. I hope you get someone at work to help you out! Feeling burned out is a terrible feeling.
@cjt121413 Your siggy gif always cracks me up. I'm sorry you're not feeling well, and fx for O soon!
@PepperAT Fx that your DH does not have a man cold. Those are pretty rough, especially during a FW! Where are you going in AZ? DH's family live in Phoenix so we go out there pretty frequently.
@sammajane19 Sorry you were feeling down, I hope you get some answers soon! That's great that your DH is supportive of what you're going through.
@Dilynne On your CD question, your first day of full AF is CD1, so if you're 7 days past that, then yep, you're CD7. Your game night sounds fun! Burgers sound awesome, a tequila shot contest sounds intimidating, I hope you have a great time!
@hunnybunny17 Sorry about CD1 Welcome back after your break!
@TheJerilu I'm SO GLAD you mentioned Daredevil, I just saw that on Netflix and wondered if we would like it. We loved Jessica Jones. Do you recommend it? I heard the Punisher makes an entrance, and DH's team for our law school's dodgeball tournament was the Punishers, so I thought it may be a show he could actually get excited about. He's not one much for long, overarching storylines, except for Game of Thrones. Also, "bone zone" is my new favorite phrase. I hope things get worked out with him before your FW!
@SandwichLover That sounds like a totally appropriate CD1 dinner, sorry about CD1 That's so exciting about your new house!
@Winnie81 Fx for O soon! Lasagna for breakfast sounds great. I'm a big fan of lasagna at any time of the day.
@felix08 That's awesome that your FW and signs are lining up, that's always a great feeling of relief. Fx for O soon! Happy birthday to your mom!
@Sugargirl1019 Fx for your O confirmation! Your siggy gif is adorable.
@whiska Sorry about the wait on the hormone panels. That sounds incredibly frustrating. I hope cutting down on sugars goes well! That's really tough to do.
@linzrunz Fx for your confirmed O as well! Good luck with your race tomorrow!
@RatParade That would be tough to hear about your husband's coworker. I can't believe Superman is finally about to come out, it feels like we've been waiting for it forever.
DD born PPROM preemie at 36 weeks on 10/1/17 after over a year TI, then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.

@nwegman7878 **hugs** some people just don't know, and are well intentioned but really don't know how what they say affects people. I get similar comments from family members too. Hoping tomorrow is a better day, sending some good thoughts and sunshine your way! ***
Me: 27 // DH: 30 Married 05/21/2011 TTC Since Feb 2016 RE: Dec 2016 Dx: PCOS 5 rounds of Letrozole 5mg + Ovidrel + TI BFP!!!! June 2017 // EDD: 04/01/2018 IT'S A BOY!
mrsdee15 FF doesn't really discard on its own but it will give less credit to temps that are under bad circumstances. Not sure if marking illness will take that into consideration but you can chose "discard" and it will still record your temperature on your chart but it won't connect it to the rest of your temps.
mrsdaddariomrsdee15vintageandrea90 Thanks for the support. She's just a very overbearing women and if I told her anything, she would want to be in my business all the time, and not for support but so that she had gossip to talk about. It's frustrating. She's the kind of women who you welcome into your house and she goes through your things to complain of the mess in your junk drawer. She has no personal boundaries. I didn't even tell my mom until 2 months after my last loss and she yelled at me for lying to her and was very selfish claiming I did this on purpose to hurt her. After putting her in her place about the situation, she came around, but it was an experience I'd rather not repeat.
@nwegman7878 hugs to you. It's definitely tough and I'm glad you at least have this space to release those feelings. Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: nothing right now. Will be BD EOD at a minimum once AF leaves. Also going to start vitex, RRLT, and OPKs this cycle.
R/R/CS: I'm a tiny bit exhausted by the rollercoaster of emotions this process brings. For example, I'm pretty relieved about AF starting because I was really worried about my cycle being all over the place after going off HBC (I know it can still go wonky at any time but I'm feeling positive for now). On the other side, I'm feeling very anxious/excited about the possibility of getting KU this month. I just wish I could feel one thing and stay there for longer than say, 10 seconds. End rambly rant thing.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now? 1. It's the weekend. 2. DH has been raving about my cooking. With our move I didn't cook regularly for over a month and I really love feeding him good food! 3. Possibly getting this as a tattoo this weekend It's an Adinkra symbol from West Africa that translates to "I transform my life/character." Definitely need a reminder right now that ultimately I am in control of the kind of person that I am and how I choose to live my life,. 4. DH being so incredibly supportive during a very challenging time for me. Between feeling angry and depressed about my job, and hormonal due to PMS, he's had a tough week and has been a trooper. 5. Lemon water. I was getting bored with plain water and thus getting dehydrated from not drinking enough and thus getting migraines from being dehydrated. Lemon water to the rescue!
@mrsdee15@felix08 We are staying around Scottsdale but are renting a car and plan on doing a lot of driving. Going to Sedona is on the list and we love Mexican food so I will definitely remember that.
@PepperAT Scottsdale is fun! There is lots of good Mexican food around there. I went to Sedona as a kid, I remember it being very pretty (and confused because they have red dirt there, I hadn't ever seen red dirt).

@nwegman7878 sorry you are having a hard time! It's difficult when others don't know, but they mean well. Sending positive thoughts your way!
@RatParade yikes! Those kinda people filled me with rage on a good day, but now after TTC for awhile, I just can't even begin to process what's going on..
WAYDTGKU: CM charting and HIO. @tentoeturbo To answer your question from yesterday, I did try temping this month, but then I was sick for nearly two weeks so it wasn't worth it. If I enter cycle 3, I'll hopefully be able to temp properly.
R/R/CS: Hoping to enter the TWW this weekend! Can't wait to start POAS lol.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now? This beautiful weather, my SO, my dog, pizza, and this upcoming weekend of relaxation.
WAYDTGKU: Stuff I do cause at this point I am willing to do almost anything: Baby Asprin, Acupuncture, Aromatherapy, and Mantras Medical Stuff: Progesterone to start the party, Met 2000, Fermera 5 CD 3-7, Vitamins, and as of tonight Pregnyl to trigger!! Off to have an IUI #1 on Sunday! and some bonus TI...we might add Prometrium
R/R/CS: Wish my Dr. office was closer (frustrating to have to drive 4 hours to just get an ultrasound) but I don't mind quite so much when the follies turn out to be mature. We are going to go stay at a hotel near the hospital tomorrow so we are ready to rock and roll on Sunday early am. I got everyone in my office Daffodils the other day and gosh darn it they make the snow outside less annoying.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now? 1. A 27 in Mature Folli!!!!!!!!! Getting to trigger! Getting to get an IUI!! 2 Blue skies and some sun to help melt the snow! 3 My awesome friends that don't live near me but are super supportive about this journey even from a distance. 4. Dreaming that this cycle might be the one!! Luck of the Irish please! 5 Fruit! 6 Carmext/Aveda Hand Relief 7 That I am going to Europe in about a month! So very excited! 8. Being a part of these boards...it is so nice to be able to talk to people that are on a similar journey. 9. That I get to spend a whole day with my husband that we will have off together...and we get to make a little date of the IUI pre night. 10. The nurses and support people in my Dr.s Office that cheer along with me when I get good news!

Re: WTO Friday
@MedicMomma84 - I don't know anything about your life, but just wanted to let you know that Zofran has been reevaluated by the FDA and is now cautioned to use during pregnancy. If you have a legitimate reason to take it that's one thing, but I'd make sure your prescribing doc knows your TTC. I believe it's only being prescribed to patients that are PG in the event of severe morning sickness when there's nutrition concerns. I just wanted to mention it since it's been somewhat recently reclassified as a possible risk during PG and how you said you were saving it for a rainy day, which makes me feel like you're not taking it for a chronic issue.
@sarah0985 I’m glad there are other baseball fans here! DH and I are fanatics. But I know you’re a Cubs fan. We’re from Pittsburgh, so… haha. But (sadly) you guys are going to have a really good team again this year.
@nwegman7878 you can do it! You’re more than halfway there, haha. And you are going to end up with amazing timing.
@Zoey1019 have fun this weekend!
@mrsdaddario I can’t remember the last time I told someone congrats on CD1, but congrats! Happy for you, haha. And I will definitely give a shout out to Aprodite today.
@vintageandrea90 since you just started charting (I think) it’s probably going to be really hard to know what’s going on just yet. Just keep doing what you’re doing and HIO. Fx you end up with a chart that makes sense soon!
@beary67 sounds like a fun night of basketball! Our team plays tonight too so I’m pretty excited. And we don’t get to move into our new house until late May/early June. The sellers are building a house and it won’t be done until sometime in May, so they are renting the house back from us after closing. I’m sad that we still have to wait a while, but it will give us time to sell my current house while they pay our new mortgage, so it actually works out for everyone.
@BaileyBopsALot welcome!!!
And yay for CD1!
@canavara Fx you can confirm O tomorrow! I’m hopefully doing the same so I think that would make us cycle twins? One CD off but same DPO, so that’s something, right? Cycle cousins? Haha. See you in TWW hopefully.
@DiFazette yay for a full night of sleep! And 7 days in a row, with a 2yo? You’re my hero.
@britters314 sorry for CD1. And Fx for a Christmas baby! Haha
@brambles1 or should I say Aunt Brambles? Congrats on your new nephew!
@teamginger13 Glad your appointment timing is working out for you this time. I’m in the same boat, obviously don’t want to tell my 60yo male boss what’s going on, but I feel like I need time off every week at least once. Luckily no one has commented, so maybe they haven’t noticed. Fx so hard for you this cycle!
@Marley629 I’m with you, wtf is up with this weather? We aren’t getting anywhere near a foot, but we are probably going to get a little snow and I thought we were done with that.
@PennStateCait Yay for a +OPK! Fx for O tomorrow, or even Sunday, you will still have great timing! So glad it seems like it will happen for you before your trip, and now you will have a great distraction for the first part of your TWW.
@Lecool Fx for another high temp! Hope to see you on TWW tomorrow!
@cjt121413 hope you feel better! Sounds like a good weekend to have nothing to do tomorrow.
@PepperAT ugh, the dreaded man cold, haha. Hope he can power through FW.

Hopefully I'll hear back later today or Monday and get an appointment that isn't 1083190102 days away. I was feeling pretty bummed yesterday about having to call an RE at all, but I feel better today. I just have to remind myself that it may be a long hard journey, but the end result will be worth it.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?
1. It's Friday!
2. We're going out to dinner with my parents tomorrow and touring their new house! They're closing on the place today.
3. DH, who has been wonderful and supportive of me right from the beginning of this process, and actually LISTENS to me when he misunderstands things about how the reproductive system actually works
4. My cats. Because they never not make me happy
5. My boss is out of the office today and I'll be ducking out early

GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?
1. That I possibly figured this out.
2. Ya'll are willing to help me figure this out.
3. FRIDAY!! H is taking me on a lunch date
4. We're having a game night with H's cousins tomorrow and his aunt challenged me to a tequila shot contest.

R/R/CS: Starting to get a little sensitive about my partner's sudden lack of interest in the bone zone. I always have a higher drive than him, but this week he's acting like any time I want to wine and dine him is a personal affront. Uh.... what? We're married, bro. I don't know if it's stress from his job or what, but it's starting to stress me out, especially because this weekend is likely the big window.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?

@sldp123 Congrats on your upcoming new house! FX on clomid this cycle!
@nwegman7878 Your husband sounds like a sweet man! I love how dogs can sense when we are upset or emotional about something. They can be so comforting.
@zoey1019 Sorry for cramps
@mrsdaddario I am SO happy AF finally came for you! And I had no idea it was Aphrodite Day, but we had sex twice this morning so I feel extra good about that! It was the first time this month, so maybe its because of the Aphrodite vibes that are around.
@vintageandrea90 I've heard so many things about hot yoga recently, thats awesome that you love it!
@beary67 Your Friday sounds like it's going to be awesome!
@baileybopsalot I'm crossing my fingers for you that you O this month! All I want right now is a chicken pot pie. I love Marie Callenders.
@DiFazette I'm glad your DH's project is over! My husband does PM for part of his role and I know its hard for them to not bring the stress home at the end of the day.

hunnybunny17 I'm glad your break was helpful but we're glad you're back.
TheJerilu Sorry about DH. It's hard for us to "get in the mood" so to speak and we usually end up talking about some random tangent. We actually had a discussion about trying to up the spontaneity but my DH is boring and not spontaneous in the least. GL with everything.
SandwichLover That sounds like my favorite meal. Well the chocolate and alcohol part at least.

To everyone who responded about my Christmas baby comment: Thanks and FX that we all get holiday babies!
@sarah0985 FX for more clarity about your cycle. Also, I have to ask...where will the kids be next week of spring break isn't until the week after?
@sldp123 @canavara @lecool Yay for impending confirmation of O! Hope to see you over there soon.
@nwegman7878 Good luck with the next three days! Your strategy is opposite of mine this month... I figured that HIO everyday in the FW has never worked before so now I'm going for EOD. Also, I'm so glad you have such a good support group both online and in real life.
@zoey1019 Boo cramps. And I agree, just thinking about the TWW makes me feel anxious and worried knowing how it will likely end.
@mrsdaddario Yay for AF!!! It's always weird to say that on this board, but I am really happy for you!
@vintageandrea90 One of my best friends is also hoping to finish her nursing degree in December and she cannot wait! FX you get in to the summer program.
@beary67 I am really, really jealous that you are not only leaving work early, but that you are getting a mani/pedi!
@baileybopsalot FX for AF (again, a strange thing to type on this board). Also, you are making me crave a chicken pot pie.
@DiFazette Ahh I hate delayed O and having to prolong HIO. Power through!
@thefarmerswife0411 Mmm, love corned beef and smoked corned beef sounds incredible. My H also likes smoking meat as a hobby and I'm trying to convince him to do a brisket for Easter (classic Easter dinner, right?).
@britters314 So sorry for CD1---hope you have something fun to do tonight to take your mind off TTC.
@brambles1 Congrats on becoming an aunt! Being an aunt is the best (until, I can only assume, you become a mom). Also, we were just in WY last summer--so beautiful!
@teamginger13 GL with sono and I am envious of your 80 degree weather.
@marley629 Aaah PLL. I also started watching in marathon form and am still so addicted. It's never ending.
@MedicMomma84 PP already mentioned, but I think you are in the TWW, not WTO. Hope you get an answer (BFP or AF) soon!
@PennStateCait Woo hoo for +OPK and being about to HIO before leaving. Have a good spring break! I work in two different districts and of course they have different breaks so I am working half and half. Regretting that decision now as I work in a school that is on break next week.
@cjt121413 Hope you feel better! Enjoy your weekend.
@pepperat Love casual day! Where in AZ are you going? If you happen to be going to Sedona, you must go to Cafe Elote (gourmet Mexican food). I seriously had one of the best meals of my life there (that sounds dramatic, but it's true).
@sammajane19 FX you hear from your doc--I'm glad to hear you are feeling better about going to an RE. Remember, it's just one step closer to the final goal!
@dilynne Your game night sounds fun! A tequila shot contest does sound slightly risky though, lol.
@hunnybunny17 Sorry about CD1. Welcome back!
@thejerilu Sorry about frustration with your SO. I often wish H would initiate every once in awhile...it's nice to feel desired, ya know!?
@sandwichlover Wine and unhealthy snacks with no shame is the only good thing about CD1. Good luck with your new house--very exciting!
@winnie81 Very nice pic! I've wanted to invest in a nice camera (i.e., not a phone camera) for awhile, but we've always said we'd get one after having kids. Maybe we should just go for it anyway since it might be awhile, ha!

R/R/CS: I am pleased because today is the first day of my predicted FW and I had some EWCM right on cue. Love when things work as they're supposed to.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?
1. As almost everyone else mentioned, the fact that it is Friday is making me REALLY happy.
2. It's my mom's birthday and we are going to my favorite restaurant tonight (that sounds really self-centered that we're going to my favorite restaurant on her birthday, but she loves it, too!).
3. H not having to work at all this weekend. LOVE lazy Saturday mornings.
4. Upcoming trips planned for spring break and summer.
5. The fact that it was really easy for me to come up with many things I am happy about! Life's not so bad, after all. Thanks @beary67 for this GTKY.
@mrsdaddario FINALLY CD1! I'm so excited for you. I don't know how you survived a cycle that long.

"Sugar Fancy Tutu"
In december, we had a five day weekend for our national day of independence and then winter break 2 weeks after. I didn't see some students the week before national day (around November 20ish) until school resumed January 10ish. Weird phenomenon that happens here the the school board cannot figure out how to stop. (No truancy laws here. And either way I teach pre-k. So truancy wouldn't be that strict anyway)
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: For now focusing on diet - cutting out added sugars might help me the most. I was eating 2-5x my suggested value every day.
R/R/CS: Rant - this was way too long so I cut it down. Basically:
1) Medical billing is stuck in the gosh damn dark ages and apparently the infertile are discriminated against so now I need to wait 2 months for my hormone panels that I already waited 3 months for an appointment to get.
2) How I feel right now about paying into insurance all these years:
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?
1. This community. I keep dreaming I tell people - my mom, sister, friends - that we're trying to conceive because I want to talk about it so badly. So thanks for being here.
2. It's a day late but beef stew and Irish soda bread for dinner tonight!
3. My diet changes to reduce sugar are going well; I'm proud of myself. But not too proud cause that's when I tend to fall off the wagon
4. I get to see my niece and nephews next weekend!
5. Leaving for vacation in less than a month

4. These big purple flowers bloomed outside our condo, and now whenever we open our windows the condo smells sweet. It's really nice.
5. This community, as a great support system, always making me laugh, and keeping me sane and grounded.

because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
So my grandmother who doesn't know that we're struggling just sent me a picture of a candle from my 1st birthday asking if I remembered it. She then informed me that she's been saving it for when we have our first child. She lives in Florida and wants us to come visit so she can give it to us. I know she doesn't know any better but I'm having a meltdown in my office cubicle and just want to leave. And she's one of those people that just keeps on and keeps on so I don't want to tell her that we're struggling after two losses. Sorry for the rant ladies but I just had to vent to someone. I feel like I'm going to explode.

@sarah0985 Fx you O soon! That's a crazy hike too, my legs are tired for you! Sounds fun though! Do you cook a lot? I love to cook, but haven't had time recently to do it as much as I'd like.
@sldp123 Fx for your crosshairs and that you get to go over to the TWW!
@nwegman7878 You have some willpower, I have a hard time with EOD/every day during the fertile window, and that's not all that long! I had something similar just happen, I think because I was sick I had a temp spike yesterday but it went back down today, and finally got a positive OPK today (they were all negative before). Is that something FF will discard on its own? I marked it as "illness" but do you recommend discarding it instead? I'm just curious. Fx for your O soon! Also, your bunny pic both cracks me up and freaks me out. Just also saw your post about your grandmother's comment, I'm so sorry that happened.
@Zoey1019 Sorry about the cramps.
@mrsdaddario YES! I don't think I've ever been so happy for someone to get CD! I hope this cycle goes better for you and your tests go well!
@vintageandrea90 Do you normally turn OPKs? It's probably a good idea to keep HIO just in case (not that that's a bad thing). Congratulations on your weight loss! That's a great accomplishment.
@beary67 This was a great idea for a GTKY! I love hearing the non-TTGP things going on in everyone's lives, it helps me feel more connected to everyone. Your plans for tonight sound so fun! What are you cooking?
@BaileyBopsALot Another yay for CD1 (I think, I hope that wasn't sarcastic and I didn't pick up on it, if it was then sorry for CD1)! Also I hope your recovery is going well! Sorry this round didn't go well, fx for you and this cycle.
@canavara Fx for your O crosshairs!
@DiFazette 7 days is so tough, fx you O soon! That's great your DH is done with that project!
@thefarmerswife0411 London is one of my favorite places in the world too. I hope your in-laws had a good time in Ireland! Where did they go? We were just there not long ago on our honeymoon.
@britters314 Sorry about CD1.
@brambles1 Huge congratulations to your sister! How exciting! That's an awesome dinner your DH made you, and your cross-country trip sounds amazing!
@teamginger13 I hope your next appointment goes well, and that's great it's on a weekend!
@Marley629 That weather is insane! I was reading this is one of the worst years for allergies, it's definitely hitting DH pretty hard. I hope your wedding planning is going well!
@MedicMomma84 I'm sorry about the fight and the BFNs, I hope everything gets worked out soon. Those dreams can be brutal, creepy internet hugs to you. Do you know if you've Oed? If you have, you can post in the TWW thread.
@PennStateCait Yay on the positive OPK! I just got one today too! Fx you O soon!
@Lecool Fx for your crosshairs! And I agree, I'm glad it's Friday also. I hope you get someone at work to help you out! Feeling burned out is a terrible feeling.
@cjt121413 Your siggy gif always cracks me up. I'm sorry you're not feeling well, and fx for O soon!
@PepperAT Fx that your DH does not have a man cold. Those are pretty rough, especially during a FW! Where are you going in AZ? DH's family live in Phoenix so we go out there pretty frequently.
@sammajane19 Sorry you were feeling down, I hope you get some answers soon! That's great that your DH is supportive of what you're going through.
@Dilynne On your CD question, your first day of full AF is CD1, so if you're 7 days past that, then yep, you're CD7. Your game night sounds fun! Burgers sound awesome, a tequila shot contest sounds intimidating, I hope you have a great time!
@hunnybunny17 Sorry about CD1
@TheJerilu I'm SO GLAD you mentioned Daredevil, I just saw that on Netflix and wondered if we would like it. We loved Jessica Jones. Do you recommend it? I heard the Punisher makes an entrance, and DH's team for our law school's dodgeball tournament was the Punishers, so I thought it may be a show he could actually get excited about. He's not one much for long, overarching storylines, except for Game of Thrones. Also, "bone zone" is my new favorite phrase. I hope things get worked out with him before your FW!
@SandwichLover That sounds like a totally appropriate CD1 dinner, sorry about CD1
@Winnie81 Fx for O soon! Lasagna for breakfast sounds great. I'm a big fan of lasagna at any time of the day.
@felix08 That's awesome that your FW and signs are lining up, that's always a great feeling of relief. Fx for O soon! Happy birthday to your mom!
@Sugargirl1019 Fx for your O confirmation! Your siggy gif is adorable.
@whiska Sorry about the wait on the hormone panels. That sounds incredibly frustrating. I hope cutting down on sugars goes well! That's really tough to do.
@linzrunz Fx for your confirmed O as well! Good luck with your race tomorrow!
@RatParade That would be tough to hear about your husband's coworker. I can't believe Superman is finally about to come out, it feels like we've been waiting for it forever.

mrsdaddariomrsdee15vintageandrea90 Thanks for the support. She's just a very overbearing women and if I told her anything, she would want to be in my business all the time, and not for support but so that she had gossip to talk about. It's frustrating. She's the kind of women who you welcome into your house and she goes through your things to complain of the mess in your junk drawer. She has no personal boundaries. I didn't even tell my mom until 2 months after my last loss and she yelled at me for lying to her and was very selfish claiming I did this on purpose to hurt her. After putting her in her place about the situation, she came around, but it was an experience I'd rather not repeat.

WAYDTGKU: nothing right now. Will be BD EOD at a minimum once AF leaves. Also going to start vitex, RRLT, and OPKs this cycle.
R/R/CS: I'm a tiny bit exhausted by the rollercoaster of emotions this process brings. For example, I'm pretty relieved about AF starting because I was really worried about my cycle being all over the place after going off HBC (I know it can still go wonky at any time but I'm feeling positive for now). On the other side, I'm feeling very anxious/excited about the possibility of getting KU this month. I just wish I could feel one thing and stay there for longer than say, 10 seconds. End rambly rant thing.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?
1. It's the weekend.
2. DH has been raving about my cooking. With our move I didn't cook regularly for over a month and I really love feeding him good food!
3. Possibly getting this as a tattoo this weekend
It's an Adinkra symbol from West Africa that translates to "I transform my life/character." Definitely need a reminder right now that ultimately I am in control of the kind of person that I am and how I choose to live my life,.
4. DH being so incredibly supportive during a very challenging time for me. Between feeling angry and depressed about my job, and hormonal due to PMS, he's had a tough week and has been a trooper.
5. Lemon water. I was getting bored with plain water and thus getting dehydrated from not drinking enough and thus getting migraines from being dehydrated. Lemon water to the rescue!
