WAYDTGKU: Waiting until CD 5 to start my next round of clomid.
R/R/CS: I am so happy to see AF today. My cycle was 55 days and I was beginning to feel like I wasn't even trying anymore. But now I can be actively doing something. It is such a relief!
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now? 1.) I'm back on keto, which makes me feel 1,000 times better. I had lost 45 lbs in the first six months of last year, then got a job and couldn't find my groove and spent the last 6 months gaining it all back. But I'm back, baby! 10 pounds down already.
2.) My husband. He always makes me happy, even when he's being a butt.
3.) Since I'm working we've been able to buy things we did without when I wasn't working. It's nice. Like a tablecloth. I just spent a lot of money (whoops) on seeds for my garden.
4.) Af. Yep. I know. But yep.
5.) I'm eating an enchilada bake I made right now and it's fantastic.
Husband & I married May 26th, 2012

TTC #1 since January 1st 2016
Anovulatory with PCOS Clomid 50;100;150;200: No O TSH 3.75 Put on 50mg levothyroxine 1500 MG Metformin 7.5 MG Letrozole: No Follicles 9 MG Letrozole: 21mm Follicle no pregnancy 4 cycles at 9 MG Letrozole, No pregnancy
WAYDTGKU: We finally got it on last night! It had been... a really long time. I was sick, then AF, then he was "sick," then we both had a crazy week.
R/R/CS: Posting so late today because my life is a shit show. I'll be back to being a human when I get back from my trip. Still in the "whatever" part of WTO right now. I don't expect anything to start happening in my pants for another couple of weeks. This is the least BSC part of my cycle, which is convenient, because it's the most BSC part of my LIFE right now.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now? I love this GTKY! Great idea! 1. Italy. Five days. OMFG. 2. My cute-ass husband, who is still really freakin' cute even when he's being a baby about seasonal allergies. 3. My yearbook staff. They give me life. 4. This weather! I'm loving being able to run outside in a tank top in the evenings. 5. This video: https://www.facebook.com/beatrice.buttmuncher.5/videos/504359229759646/
And @nwegman7878 I am so sorry you're going through this. People just don't think and like to hear themselves talk. We're so lucky to have a place to vent our frustration and be honest about the TTC journey, even if the honesty is veiled in anonymity
R/R/CS: Well, my temp dropped .5 degrees today. Not entirely sure what's up with that other than maybe drinking on Wednesday night possibly really skewing Thursday's temp. Even though FF hasn't pinpointed O yet (or maybe because there's such a small chance of it being correct when it does), I think I'm just going to head over to the TWW tomorrow based off my secondary signs.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?
1. My DSs and DH. 2. That it's finally Friday. 3. That I've made it back to the gym twice in a row after more than a week off. 4. My 4 dogs. 5. The McDonald's PlayPlace (which has been such a great place for the boys to play during bad weather).
Ahh I didn't meant to post and ghost today but life happened! I'm feeling the love today, thank you everyone for making my day with your support.
@sparty18 thank youuuuu!! Every day my O is delayed I keep thinking of how sad I am that it throws off our cycle-buddy-ness that much more! Hopefully I'll get a few days in TWW with you @sldp123Thanks again times a million for letting me know that epo could delay it a few days. I seriously had no idea and although it was only a few days I was freaking out. And it ended up being exactly what you thought! @houseofsetters whew is RIGHT! I've never been so happy to have a positive opk. @BailyBopsalot thanks for thinking of me! @sugargirl1019 YAYY, yes I'm so happy! I hope your blood draw went well and GL at your appt next week! @felix08 Thanks! I feel like I would have a love/hate relationship with a half and half spring break. On one hand it's nice to just turn off the work thoughts for a week but on another hand working two NOT full weeks would be great. I hope you enjoy yourself on your off days though! @nwegman7878 yesss + opks! The fitbit challenge has taken my mind off a lot of the worrying this week! @mrsdee15 yay maybe we'll be O and TWW buddies! FX you O soon as well!

***TW Baby*** 1. My baby fell asleep at 7 and has been sleeping by himself without waking up for two hours! Whoohoo! 2. DH is coming home from his week long work trip tomorrow! 3. Spring Break! 4. Starburst jelly beans. Enough said. 5. Netflix!
Hi Ladies - Hope it's OK that I post here (still technically TAA for T-14 days.. not that I'm counting). Been lurking for a while and looking forward to jumping in!
Had a probably pretty basic temping question for you - after a frustratingly long cycle (currently CD41 and counting..), I decided to buy a Mabis. However, I rarely, if ever sleep 3+ hours at a time at night (always been this way). If I wake up and just roll back over (not getting up), will my temps be somewhat accurate? What if I get up to pee at like 430 and then temp at 630? I figure *some* data is better than *no* data and with CM and OPKs (which i've never turned..) FF might be able to do a decent job? Guess the real answer is to give it a try, but curious if anyone that is as useless at sleeping as I am has had success?
***Lurky lurker from TWW*** @CrayCrayA Welcome! So, the timing and sleep seem to work differently for different people. You kinda just have to start temping and see. For me, the time that I temp matters more than always having 3 hours of sleep before, but that's not the case for everyone.
I would suggest, since you have 14 days of no pressure, go ahead and start temping/charting if you haven't already. That way you can see how varied your temps are with more sleep vs consistent time of morning. Good luck!! My first chart was a mess, but there was still a clear temp shift.
WAYDTGKU: pre-natals, healthy eating, charting, and all the sex
R/R/CS: I got nothing.
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?
1. Took the day off today with DH, bd'd twice and should be the fertile window FX! 2. House of cards season 4! So much better! 3. Furbaby reese 4. Doing lots of gardening as its our first spring in our new home and we inherited a full blown acre of an English garden (previous owners were professional gardeners) FX I don't kill everything ladies ha 5. Hot Yoga. Getting back into it and went 4 times this week! Yay me!
R/R/CS: One more temp to confirm O. I might be BSC today but I feel twinges on my right side. And I had to take care of a patient with influenza B today b/c the only other nurses available were both pregnant. Why can't I have that excuse?
GTKY: What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now? Weekend, jelly beans, chocolate, planning summer trip & I went shopping yesterday and got new stuff .
@mrsdee15 I love to cook and bake frequently. I try to cook all my meals at home (I meal prep so it's just 1-2 days a week) but I try to do desserts too every two weeks. I send them with H to work or bring them into work. i never imagined being into it but I really do love it.
@felix08 when i first moved here it really bothered me because I'd plan end of term parties or lessons and then they'd be wasted and id be frustrated. I know now so I just have movies and play time scheduled if anyone does show up. Summer is the weirdest but I totally would do it too. School ends the end of June but they stop coming the end of May. The temperature gets up to 120. It's too hot to play in the day so they literally become night owls. School is hard to make it to when you're outside playing at 11 pm because that's the only time you can without risking dehydration or health issues. They're so young they also get dropped off house by house and some of those kids are on a poorly conditioned bus at 1 pm for 45 minutes. I wouldn't do that either. That's just dangerous to me.

@CrayCrayA yes to everything @houseofsetters said. I just wanted to add that my chart is full of open circles this month from temping early, temping late, and tossing and turning/being sleep deprived, and I can still see a very clear shift. So definitely give it a try. And welcome!
@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!
@mrsdee15 Daredevil has a very similar tone to Jessica Jones! It's got a big overarching story, but in the same vein as JJ - you're following the main character and their growth progression. I will say DD took about two or three episodes to really get its footing, where as JJ basically was in the swing of things by episode two. I personally preferred Jessica Jones, but I've heard opinions split about 50/50. As a heads up (minor spoilers I suppose), the Punisher is a character, but not until Season 2 (which just released yesterday). Give it a watch! I hope you enjoy it!
