Re: WTO Friday
cd: 13
wydtgku: sex, bbt, cm
r/r/cs: feeling royally bitchy at the moment. My h is pissing me off. Everything he says. Nothing particularly bad. Not sure why. Don't think o is approaching at all so not sure where it's coming from.
gtky: What are your 3 favorite music albums and why?
My current favorite is James Bay the Chaos and the Calm. It's a good variety of music and I love his voice.
My all time favorite is Eve 6 Horoscope. It shaped my teenage years and holds a very special place in my heart and memories.
My other favorite is Shinedown The Sound of Madness. That album is just me in a nutshell I feel like. Every song is me in a different way.
Month/Cycle: 7 (This kills me to write, meh.)
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: Right now, just EPO and waiting for AF to leave
R/R/CS: I've officially been trying unsuccessfully for half a year. Which I know isn't anything to worry about, but it's really a bummer.
GTKY: Backstreet Boys... ANYTHING by the Backstreet Boys
cd: 4
wydtgku: Waiting for AF to leave...then back to the usual PNV, Metformin, BBT, OPK starting at Cd10, BD EOD in FW until a high reading on CBAD then ED after that.
r/r/cs: So im finally starting to feel better. Sorry about the pity party last few days. But thank you to everyones kind words and letting me vent. AF is almost gone, probably by tomorrow. I think im ready to start getting excited about this cycle and a possible January baby! My DH was born in January and though he says he always hated it, I think it could be really nice for them to share a birthday month, possibly even a birthday. And I am a firm believer of there is always a reason why a birthday month can be awesome or could suck.
Non TTC related, it is friday and tomorrow is DS birthday! He will be 2. We arent having his party until next weekend due to some scheduling issues with family. But we decided tomorrow we have to do something special for him. So we are taking him and meeting my sister, her kids, and my mom at this kids museum thats geared towards toddlers and they can touch and play with everything. Super excited to see him get all excited playing with everything. Also one of his bday gifts from us is a potty so hoping to start training him too.
gtky: What are your 3 favorite music albums and why?
The Clash - London Calling
The Doors-The soft parade
Dead Kennedys - Dead Kennedys
The Clash because they are my alltime favorite band, and London Calling in my opinion is their best album. I love every song and they really hit thier stride writing wise I believe.
The Doors and this album because I used to always steal my dads records when I was a kid and he'd get so mad, that christmas my mom bought me this album on CD so I could listen whenever I wanted and it was awesome. My dad really got me into music to start with so it was mostly old classic rock stuff like this. The doors specifically always really spoke to me.
Dead Kennedys was one of the first bands I listened to as a teenager that I tried to replicate. My band tried covering a few songs and probably stole a lot of thier playing style at first. I can still go back and listen to this album and I become 15 again.
Clearly I was born in the wrong decade as most of my musical taste is from before I was born.

R/R/CS: Waiting for blood work results today to see how to proceed! Start Provera to get AF or just start right on Letrozole + IUI!
GTKY: What are your 3 favorite music albums and why?
I don't even know to be honest.
Right now though I'm really liking:
Elle King: Love Stuff. It's funky, it's scrappy, it's just different and I love it.
Kurt Vile: B'leive I'm going Down. He's weird and I like it!
Florence + The Machine: How big, how blue, how beautiful. I just love her voice.
Edit because I hit post before I was done!
month/cycle: 14/6
cd: 27
wydtgku: anything & everything
r/r/cs: long cycles blow...
gtky: this is a tough one...
1. Led Zeppelin II - Led Zeppelin, because of so many reasons; the Tolkien references, the guitar riffs, the downright legendary rock gods, etc.
2. Purple Rain - Prince, because my sisters and I used to listen to this record album almost every day on my dad's turn table growing up. He would get so mad that we scratched the vinyl but we still kept playing it. Such awesome music and great memories.
3. Ten - Pearl Jam, because this is still one of the only albums I can listen to in it's entirety. Grunge was my high school generation and the music always reminds me of my youth. (and I may have had a crush on Eddie Vedder)

cd: 11 - I remembered without looking today!
wydtgku: BBT, OPK, PNV, GDTPT (it's happening. Accept it.)
r/r/cs: Extremely early fertile CM has me confused. OPKs are still negative so maybe I'm just... very well hydrated? We are canceling dinner reservations tonight to stay home and bone. #adult
gtky: What are your 3 favorite music albums and why? I could listen to "What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World" by The Decemberists every single day. 1989 by Taylor Swift is life, and you can shut your stupid mouth if you disagree. "Shallow Grave" by The Tallest Man On Earth breaks my heart and puts it back together every time. "Every Kingdom" by Ben Howard makes me feel safe. That's four. Deal with it.
Month/cycle:5/4
cd:2
wydtgku:taking it easy!
r/r/cs:/one rave about not being KU is I can enjoy the beer fest this weekend. Drinking pants are ON
gtky: What are your 3 favorite music albums and why?
I can only pick 3?
No doubt..tragic kingdom LOVE Gwen!
Tragically hip ...road apples great music, memories from my youth
DMB...can't pick one album waaaay too hard!
@jedially85 glad you're feeling better. Happy birthday to your son!
Im loving reading your favorite albums. Not gonna lie, part of me picked this question because I'm looking for some inspiration for music to add to my phone.
cd: 23
wydtgku: charts, temps, OPKs, vitamins/coq10, sex starting up again in May
r/r/cs: Out of curiosity from my MIL and so many ladies here talking about acupuncture, I got an impromptu consult with an acupuncturist yesterday who gave me a few recommendations for TTCAL. One of which was getting a few manual lymphatic drainage massages, and then doing a few rounds of acupuncture. I hadn't even thought of the MLD. As much as I'm eager to try again and feel like my body is bouncing back, I definitely feel like I could use some extra help.
gtky: What are your 3 favorite music albums and why? All because I can put them on and listen to them start to finish and always leave a happy girl:
The Shins - Wincing the Night Away
Adele - 19 or 21, it's a toss up
Jack Johnson - Brushfire Fairytales

There's not a WTO Friday yet, so I'm commenting here. I'm getting off birth control Monday! Yay! I am planning to track my CM and BBT. I'm doing some googling, but haven't yet found when the best time to start tracking will be. When I first take my nuvaring out, it'll be my period week (not a real period, but the birth control kind). The hormones will still be in my system until the following Monday.
Should I start checking my temperatures when I first remove the ring, or should I wait until the new ring would be due? So far, most of my search results tell me checking temps is good, but it can take a while to get back to normal after hormonal birth control. I will probably confuse my Fertility Friend app, but that's ok.

wydtgku: All the things
r/r/cs: Getting H to have sex is literally like pulling teeth. It's been almost 3 weeks and I had a breakdown last night and was like "I'm sorry, do you not know how babies are made? WE NEED TO DO THIS" And he said he just doesn't feel like it. "What can I do to make you feel like it" Nothing. Ugh.
gtky: What are your 3 favorite music albums and why?
Fleetwood Mac - Rumors I just love the album. Everything about it
Demi Lovato - Demi Every song on this album just hits home to me. I don't know why.
Katy Perry - Prism She was going through her marriage breakup with this album and I can hear and relate to her pain. I know that sounds lame, but it's my truth today.

@steelerfan78 I'm with you on the long cycles, waiting for O can take soooo long
Month/cycle: 8/7
cd: 7
wydtgku: all the things! Hio, waiting on preseed in mail, RRL tea, prenatals
r/r/cs: Just waiting to start poas so I can catch O with these opks. I stocked up so I should be good even with my long cycles. Temp dropped so I'm hoping to keep entering in FF so I get my coverline and see the O spike this time.
And I just realized it's FRIDAY! I've been sick so I've been a day off, and I'm suddenly very excited
gtky: What are your 3 favorite music albums and why?
This is terrible, my favorite music depends on mood and can be anything from country to rock to big band lol.
So today I'd say my favorite albums are:
The Doors- self titled
Michael Buble- It's Time
The Beatles- Rubber Soul

Month/cycle: 8/8

wydtgku: Waiting for AF to leave...also calling to arrange for my hsg with my RE's office.
r/r/cs: I feel like we are our way now that I'm starting a new cycle. However AF is a heinous bitch, so this is me right now:
CD1 is hard...
gtky: What are your 3 favorite music albums and why?
Just 3?????
I could name about a million more, but these are my go-to albums when I need something to listen to!
cd: 4
wydtgku: just prenatals + DHA right now, other stuff after AF ends
r/r/cs: Happy it's Friday. Just gotta make it through the day.
gtky: What are your 3 favorite music albums and why? In no particular order: Jimi Hendrix - Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix; Queen - Greatest Hits; The Beatles - 1; Kanye West - Graduation
I picked four albums cause I'm a rule-breaker. And I picked greatest hits albums cause I can't make up my mind.
ETA: Forgot to say why! I love Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and Queen. I definitely feel like '60s/'70s hippie / peace music speaks to me. I think I was supposed to be a flower child. I also am a huge rap fan and still think Graduation is one of the greatest rap albums of all time, regardless of whatever Kanye is up to nowadays.
cd: 22
wydtgku: all the things.
r/r/cs:I am pretty sure that I O'ed yesterday. Just waiting for the crosshairs.
gtky: What are your 3 favorite music albums and why?
1. Boxer, by The National - listen to the song "Slow Show," and then you'll understand. This whole album is so dreamy and wonderful. It's best listened to on a crisp fall day with all of the windows open.
2. Tennessee, by Lucero - they're my favorite band, and it's hard to choose just one album. Members of Lucero all started in a punk band, and then formed this alt-country band. They're just so hard working and such nice people. I recommend "Nights Like These," or "Chain Link Fence," to give a listen to on this album.
3. Heartbreaker, by Ryan Adams - I could never get sick of this album. It has highs and lows - everything you need in a great album! I recommend "Bartering Lines," or "To Be Young."

R/R/CS: First acupuncture appointment went well yesterday. I'm hoping it makes a difference. We will see.
GTKY: Eh I'm not super into music. I listen to several Pandora stations on shuffle.
ETA to clarify: not welcome back to WTO (because, boo!) but welcome back from your hiatus!!
@Steelerfan78 I love Zeppelin too. Great gif! Sending to everyone I know in 3, 2, 1...
@MonaLisaRalphio GDTPT? I'm lost...
@Dilynne Love Rumors!
@DoctorDonna Gif game on point!! I'm sorry about CD 1. I felt the same way a few days ago.
@doctordonna I'm so sorry to see you here, girl. But yay for the Civil Wars! I'm so sad they broke up.
@mollyandd you can start temping whenever, but start a new cycle/chart on the first day you bleed. It will not be a "real" period; rather, it'll be withdrawal bleeding. But calling your first day of bleeding CD1 will help your charts make sense. I can't remember how long you've been on BC, but if it's been a while, it might take some time for you to regulate. My body took a solid 6 months - and I was super frustrated because ALL of my friends got KU like 30 seconds after coming off the pill. Now that I've had a "normal" cycle, I'm really glad that I have all those old (possibly annovulatory but certainly abnormal) charts to look back to for comparison's sake.
Basically I'm trying to make "fetch" happen.
ETA: I mean...
@mollyandd no nuvaring advice cause I never had one but GL!

wydtgku: ughhhh nothing. Waiting for AF and DH to get back into town.
r/r/cs: I'm so cranky from the drive by pee stick this morning that I can't even. O never happened before Hubby left town. I'm wondering if it's cause of my lame-o kidney infection? I'd call my OB and ask but I'm so over this wacky cycle that I can't find the motivation to call her. I'm ready for a reset.

Hmm. That's a thinker. I might have to come back for that one...

r/r/cs: Rant *Loss Mentioned*
i had a missed miscarriage in February and just found out the other day that my kitty is dying. I've had her for 15 years and she is the only baby I've ever had. I don't know how I'm going to get the strength to wait this out and then put her down. It's so horrible. Sorry to be such a downer...its just weighing heavy on my heart today.
gtky: What are your 3 favorite music albums and why
I don't usually listen to while albums but here are three that I could listen to the entire album without getting sick of them.
Muse - Black Holes & Revelations
Cold War Kids - Robbers & Cowards
Rancid - And Out Come the Wolves

@mollyandd. As others have said, I would start temping the first day of bleeding and count that as CD 1.
@Dilynne sorry you and DH are out of sync. That makes it really hard with the added pressure of sex for baby making.
@sLass42 any tips on making the RRL tea taste better? I've tried a few things but it always tastes awful to me.
