I'm also back from a week break! Sorry I went MIA - I just found I didn't have too much to say in those early days of this cycle (which seems to happy to me every time I start a new cycle) and didn't want to be a Debbie downer!
Month/Cycle: 8/9
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: stuff and things - admittedly been a little less committed this month, but trying to get back on the bandwagon.
R/R/CS: Rave: I'm off from work today - yay! - and am enjoying a lazy morning after a friend's wedding weekend in Sonoma. Also, I drank all the wine. Yum. Rant: Learned that DH's college ex (who we are still friends with and who was at the wedding this weekend) is KU. I hope my lukewarm reaction wasn't too obvious. I mean, I'm happy for her, of course, but this one just stung big time since (a) she's my DH's ex (obvi), (b) she wasn't even sure she wanted children (not that it matters, of course, just makes it harder since I've known I wanted children my whole life), and (c) we have always been aligned on our timing - dating/married virtually at the same time - and now I'm going to be lapped. WORST. Trying to stay positive...but the fb pregnancy announcement of another friend was NOT the right hook that I needed this morning. Uggghhhhh.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): What is your preferred sleepwear of choice? Do you ever wear lingerie? Usually a tank and loose pajama pants. I own a little lingerie, but can't remember the last time I used it.

I have a few lacey underwear that are in my semi-regular rotation but otherwise not really at all. Whenever we are at VS we always comment how good the lingerie will look in a pile on the floor.

R/R/CS: Not much. But I've been trying to be better about what I eat and my workouts. I'm not doing what I should. I'm going to try and jump into the weekly check in because I need to be accountable to someone... I guess I just don't mind disappointing myself.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): What is your preferred sleepwear of choice? Do you ever wear lingerie? I sleep naked. I can do a big shirt and panties on vacation, so I'm hopeful I can get used to it after kids, but it's odd. I have a few pieces of lingerie,but they don't come out very often. A lot of effort for a tiny bit of time...
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, PNV+ DHA, CM, Pre-seed if needed
R/R/CS: Does anyone else get hormone related migraines?? I used to get them before switching to Yaz/Gianvi HBC and now that I'm no longer on it I'm getting migraines every week or two. Just asked by Dr to refill my Imitrex prescription but I'm curious if anyone has successfully managed theirs in a more natural way.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): What is your preferred sleepwear of choice? Do you ever wear lingerie? I prefer to sleep in pajama pants and a t-shirt or a tank top and shorts if it's hot out. I own one piece of lingerie and I only have it because it was a gift at my bridal shower, totally don't have the body or confidence to wear it.
@mokay19 I know what you mean about the house noises. Sometimes my DH goes on week long business trips and whenever he leaves I swear I hear all these noises I've never heard before. I get so paranoid something will happen. He thinks im crazy lol.
R/R/CS: I've been trying to use less lubricant (anything made naturally isn't quite enough) because it's bad for sperm and all that, and I'm seriously getting sore LOL. I bought some TTC friendly lube but my H doesn't want to use it because he wants my uterus to be an obstacle course so only the best get through
Also we were helping friends move this weekend and someone asked if I should be lifting such heavy things since I'm pregnant. I was like, I am? And he said oh, I don't know why I thought you were. So now I have that in my head.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): What is your preferred sleepwear of choice? Do you ever wear lingerie?

My regular bras and panties are cute enough.

It's good to be prepared for anything..! @mokay19 I totally get creeped out when I'm home alone too and check the windows sooo many times before I fall asleep. @SongbirdintheCity sorry about the pregnancy announcement from DH's ex - I would have a hard time with that one too. @Virginiaham Glad you had a good time in Seattle! @Mylitta I 'm in the same place as you with the working out/eating right. We gotta start somewhere though right?! @Littlechick2 I don't have any advice or experience with the migranes but I hope you find relief soon.
WAYDTGKU: Charting, PNV, EPO, CoQ10, B6, RRL tea, OPKs, as much filthy hotel sex as I can squeeze out of OH
R/R/CS: Oh boy. Well, first I managed to kill my BBT. I guess one disadvantage to vaginal temping is that the thing might get wet and corrode out the battery. Lovely. So I have one day of regular thermometer temps, but at least I was able to buy another of the same BBT and keep on moving. Second, OH works away during the week, and we were only able to FWP (not that he realizes this because I don't tell him when FW is) once. I do really love to do things for him so that he's not just a baby making machine, but I probably should've said no to the BJ yesterday and insisted on more P in my V. On the plus side, it's probably early in my FW, and I'm heading out to visit him tomorrow and Wednesday night, and I will definitely be saying no to BJs!! Also, I have an acupuncture appointment today.It's to try to manage my migraines, since I went off of the drug that was helping them, and not for fertility, but I'm going to see if they can sneak anything fertility related in. My insurance only covers treatment for pain, so at some point I will probably have to bite the bullet and pay out of pocket for fertility acupuncture. @LittleChick2, I hear good things about it, so I'm trying it, and will be updating once I see how it is. That's the only thing I'm trying now besides trying to avoid my triggers of too much sugar, dehydration, and sleep deprivation.
GTKY: I'm on Team Nekkid! At least I am when OH is home. He's the one who converted me, but I haven't been comfortable doing it on my own...when he's gone or if we have other people around, I sleep in one of his big t-shirts and nothing else. I agree with @RatParade that it's good to air things out! ETA, I only wear lingerie when I drag OH somewhere like a wedding. I'll wear pretties underneath as a promise for a later reward. Otherwise, he just prefers nekkid.

ahhhhh... for anyone who cares I think my dental struggles might be over soon. I went into the office today and just stood by the receptionist's desk until she fixed the problem. I was like, you need to make this happen right now because this is beyond ridiculous. And somehow it miraculously worked that time. The one time I actually watched as they did it. it's almost like they just blew me off before and didn't even try. Whatever! They have everything for my referral now so I am just praying it gets processed and I can make a root canal appointment by the end of the week.

R/R/CS: ugh, Monday. I'm trying to eat more healthy but I'm tired and I want all the carbs. Tuck shop in the breakroom, you are not helping...
GTKY (stolen from TWW): What is your preferred sleepwear of choice? Do you ever wear lingerie? Mostly shorts and tank tops. The slinky stuff makes an occasional appearance, but it usually ends up in a pile on the floor, so, eh.
R/R/CS: I'm having one of these days where I cannot find anything and it's driving me crazy!!
GTKY (stolen from TWW): What is your preferred sleepwear of choice? Do you ever wear lingerie? I sleep in shorts and a tank top most days even in the winter. if I'm cold (rarely) i'll wear sleep pants and a tank. I only really wear lingerie for special occasions or if DH and I go away somewhere.

R/R/CS: Not much. Just have a dentist appointment this afternoon with a new dentist. I had the same one for basically all of my life and close to his whole career until he retired. I'm not thrilled. I don't have a specific dentist anxiety, I just hate new doctors and I do feel like there's a lot of room for sales-based BS in the field. And it also always reminds me, even though I do have insurance, that somehow we consider dental, vision, and hearing to be luxuries as most of them come separate from 'health' insurance. Your dental health can seriously affect your overall health and without vision care, I wouldn't be able to drive. How is that something that's separate and outside of health insurance when it's one of my favorite parts of my body? If someone asked me if I would rather break a finger and let it heal wonky as a trade for contacts and glasses, I'd definitely go for the wonky finger.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): What is your preferred sleepwear of choice? Do you ever wear lingerie? I pretty much only wear lingerie as an activity item. For actual sleeping, it depends on the season and if H is home. Summer is shorts and a tank top, winter might be, too, depending, and then if H is gone in the winter and I'm trying to go cheap on the heat, I might do baselayer pants, more pants, and a shirt + a sweatshirt. H hates when the house is freezing so if he's home, we heat like normal people. Sometimes it would be nice to sleep in less in the summer but I'm always afraid of a house fire so I want to be prepared to run outside. It's a weird thing that's not based in statistical data.

R/R/CS: So if my temp stays up tomorrow, I should get my second set of crosshairs! But I actually trust these because they come with my typical symptoms as well as a + OPK!! As much as I love you guys, I've never been so excited to leave! I didn't imagine when this cycle started I would spend 30 days in WTO! Thank you all so much for all of your support during what was a ridiculous and stressful cycle for me both TTC wise and personally some days. I hope you all join me in TWW ASAP! Last but not least, I'm sorry I don't have time to respond to everyone in my last day here, but hugs to anyone who needs them!
GTKY (stolen from TWW): What is your preferred sleepwear of choice? Do you ever wear lingerie? I wear a t-shirt and pajama pants every night. I have ten million pairs of pajama pants actually. It's a problem. I do wear lingerie from time to time, but only with a purpose! Never to bed!
Last set of responses for the day before heading home.
On a side note you guys--my friend Jason exposed me to reddit this past weekend. I will never be bored again, lol!
@mrsdaddario Thanks! Yeah,
I needed the break. And it was a great weekend!
@mrsstuessy omg
choking on your own tooth?!? That is a nightmare. So so sorry. Looking at your
latest post though, it looks like you may be in luck now!
@aammyy33 I hope your
week goes quickly so you can get to your doctor’s appointment! Sounds like you
have a lot of stuff going on so it probably will.
@mokay19 My house
does that too when DH leaves! So weird, our houses are totally in it to scare
the eff out of us.
@mylove071407 whoops,
my bad! I hate that “questioning if my body is working” thing. It can be so
frustrating!
@SongbirdintheCity
Welcome back!! I don’t ever have much to say in early days either, plus
I hate the world cause of AF, so yeah, I get it. My break this time was nice
too! Sorry about your DH’s ex’s preg announcement.
That is hard. Thinking of you!
@virginiaham Ohh I’ve
always wanted to go to Seattle. I have a work study student I supervise who is
from there, and she always has the coolest stories about different places there. I want to go! Glad you had
fun!
@Mylitta Uggh I need
to get back on the wagon as well. You can do it!
@LittleChick2 I get
AF and O related migraines, so I guess that would be hormone-related. So.
Annoying. I don’t have any solutions
though, so I’m interested to see if anyone else has any natural solutions as
well!
@RatParade Wow, I can’t
believe someone asked you that! I had a similar experience once when my mom saw
an old friend in town who was like “ohhh I heard Kelly is making you a grandma
soon!” um nope. WTF people.
@SandwichLover
Thanks! I think I might just delete that WAYDTGKU section too. Good
idea!
@Aurora1973 Ohhhh I
hope you enjoy your acupuncture!
@tentoeturbo OK what
is a tuck shop?? I’m intrigued!
@lisswastaken I
HATE those days when I can’t find anything. Hoping it gets better for you!
@jessicark99 I’m
starting progesterone this cycle too! FX for you!
@Kiki75 I agree
completely about dental/vision/hearing and how it should be included in health…it's so messed up that they're not. I hope your appointment went well!
@AliciaGoose
Hey there! Hoping you get your second set of CH soon and you get to mosey on over to the TWW! Yay!!!

@SandwichLover Thanks, I'm going to try. Not agreat start today though, I admit. And about the allergies, do you use honey for anything? I read an article about how using local honey can decrease allergies because your body develops a resistance to the local flora. But since most of our honey is brought in from far away we lose this benefit. I know: sounds a bit hippy dippy. But I can tell a difference. And it's normally cheaper and tastes better.
@kellybean1988 Thanks. I need to just do it. Ugh. I jumped on the fitness thread... You can do it too! We can make each other!
I'm back from my IVF consult. There may not be enough time to do an IVF cycle before we move across the country. DH and I need to figure out more details on the move and see how long the waiting list is at the new clinic before making the final decision.
WAYDTGKU: Still fighting with DH... Going well, he didn't even say bye when he left for work this morning.
R/R/CS: still feeling depressed, need to ring my doctor soon and book an appointment, probably for Thursday (it's Tuesday here) my mum is working tomorrow and I don't want to drag DS with me. Just got a text from my manager that work have finally approved my time off (by approved it I mean he just found someone to cover my shifts, technically I'm still not actually taking time off) *sigh* I just want some answers, and I'd like them today but I have to work this afternoon

In case anyone is interested - my acupuncture appointment was great! I got a nap in while the needles were in. The acupuncturist is good friends with one of the owners of the infertility clinic I go to, so she's very interested in using my medical history in creating treatment. I was afraid it would be all hokey and ridiculous, but she was great and very medically inclined. Very excited to continue treatment!

@antoto I usually wait for CH on FF. FX today is the day!
@housewifehobbyist Enjoy your ribs and GOT time!
@meilay good luck on your interview!
@Moofish2364 Haha, glad the sex has been extra good lately, that always helps!
@mrstuessy I'm so sorry for your dental struggles. I hope you get them resolved soon!
@aammyy33 I had to LOL about your pact with H! It's good to be prepared for anything..!
@mokay19 I totally get creeped out when I'm home alone too and check the windows sooo many times before I fall asleep.
@SongbirdintheCity sorry about the pregnancy announcement from DH's ex - I would have a hard time with that one too.
@Virginiaham Glad you had a good time in Seattle!
@Mylitta I 'm in the same place as you with the working out/eating right. We gotta start somewhere though right?!
@Littlechick2 I don't have any advice or experience with the migranes but I hope you find relief soon.

WAYDTGKU: Charting, PNV, EPO, CoQ10, B6, RRL tea, OPKs, as much filthy hotel sex as I can squeeze out of OH
R/R/CS: Oh boy. Well, first I managed to kill my BBT. I guess one disadvantage to vaginal temping is that the thing might get wet and corrode out the battery. Lovely. So I have one day of regular thermometer temps, but at least I was able to buy another of the same BBT and keep on moving. Second, OH works away during the week, and we were only able to FWP (not that he realizes this because I don't tell him when FW is) once. I do really love to do things for him so that he's not just a baby making machine, but I probably should've said no to the BJ yesterday and insisted on more P in my V. On the plus side, it's probably early in my FW, and I'm heading out to visit him tomorrow and Wednesday night, and I will definitely be saying no to BJs!! Also, I have an acupuncture appointment today. It's to try to manage my migraines, since I went off of the drug that was helping them, and not for fertility, but I'm going to see if they can sneak anything fertility related in. My insurance only covers treatment for pain, so at some point I will probably have to bite the bullet and pay out of pocket for fertility acupuncture. @LittleChick2, I hear good things about it, so I'm trying it, and will be updating once I see how it is. That's the only thing I'm trying now besides trying to avoid my triggers of too much sugar, dehydration, and sleep deprivation.
GTKY: I'm on Team Nekkid! At least I am when OH is home. He's the one who converted me, but I haven't been comfortable doing it on my own...when he's gone or if we have other people around, I sleep in one of his big t-shirts and nothing else. I agree with @RatParade that it's good to air things out! ETA, I only wear lingerie when I drag OH somewhere like a wedding. I'll wear pretties underneath as a promise for a later reward. Otherwise, he just prefers nekkid.

GTKY (stolen from TWW): What is your preferred sleepwear of choice? Do you ever wear lingerie? Mostly shorts and tank tops. The slinky stuff makes an occasional appearance, but it usually ends up in a pile on the floor, so, eh.

WAYDTGKU: Entry level stuff.
R/R/CS: Not much. Just have a dentist appointment this afternoon with a new dentist. I had the same one for basically all of my life and close to his whole career until he retired. I'm not thrilled. I don't have a specific dentist anxiety, I just hate new doctors and I do feel like there's a lot of room for sales-based BS in the field. And it also always reminds me, even though I do have insurance, that somehow we consider dental, vision, and hearing to be luxuries as most of them come separate from 'health' insurance. Your dental health can seriously affect your overall health and without vision care, I wouldn't be able to drive. How is that something that's separate and outside of health insurance when it's one of my favorite parts of my body? If someone asked me if I would rather break a finger and let it heal wonky as a trade for contacts and glasses, I'd definitely go for the wonky finger.
GTKY (stolen from TWW): What is your preferred sleepwear of choice? Do you ever wear lingerie?
I pretty much only wear lingerie as an activity item. For actual sleeping, it depends on the season and if H is home. Summer is shorts and a tank top, winter might be, too, depending, and then if H is gone in the winter and I'm trying to go cheap on the heat, I might do baselayer pants, more pants, and a shirt + a sweatshirt. H hates when the house is freezing so if he's home, we heat like normal people. Sometimes it would be nice to sleep in less in the summer but I'm always afraid of a house fire so I want to be prepared to run outside. It's a weird thing that's not based in statistical data.

R/R/CS: So if my temp stays up tomorrow, I should get my second set of crosshairs! But I actually trust these because they come with my typical symptoms as well as a + OPK!!
As much as I love you guys, I've never been so excited to leave! I didn't imagine when this cycle started I would spend 30 days in WTO! Thank you all so much for all of your support during what was a ridiculous and stressful cycle for me both TTC wise and personally some days. I hope you all join me in TWW ASAP!
Last but not least, I'm sorry I don't have time to respond to everyone in my last day here, but hugs to anyone who needs them!
GTKY (stolen from TWW): What is your preferred sleepwear of choice? Do you ever wear lingerie?
I wear a t-shirt and pajama pants every night. I have ten million pairs of pajama pants actually. It's a problem. I do wear lingerie from time to time, but only with a purpose!
Never to bed!

Last set of responses for the day before heading home.
On a side note you guys--my friend Jason exposed me to reddit this past weekend. I will never be bored again, lol!
@mrsdaddario Thanks! Yeah, I needed the break. And it was a great weekend!
@mrsstuessy omg choking on your own tooth?!? That is a nightmare. So so sorry. Looking at your latest post though, it looks like you may be in luck now!
@aammyy33 I hope your week goes quickly so you can get to your doctor’s appointment! Sounds like you have a lot of stuff going on so it probably will.
@mokay19 My house does that too when DH leaves! So weird, our houses are totally in it to scare the eff out of us.
@mylove071407 whoops, my bad! I hate that “questioning if my body is working” thing. It can be so frustrating!
@SongbirdintheCity Welcome back!! I don’t ever have much to say in early days either, plus I hate the world cause of AF, so yeah, I get it. My break this time was nice too! Sorry about your DH’s ex’s preg announcement. That is hard. Thinking of you!
@virginiaham Ohh I’ve always wanted to go to Seattle. I have a work study student I supervise who is from there, and she always has the coolest stories about different places there. I want to go! Glad you had fun!
@Mylitta Uggh I need to get back on the wagon as well. You can do it!
@LittleChick2 I get AF and O related migraines, so I guess that would be hormone-related. So. Annoying. I don’t have any solutions though, so I’m interested to see if anyone else has any natural solutions as well!
@RatParade Wow, I can’t believe someone asked you that! I had a similar experience once when my mom saw an old friend in town who was like “ohhh I heard Kelly is making you a grandma soon!” um nope. WTF people.
@SandwichLover Thanks! I think I might just delete that WAYDTGKU section too. Good idea!
@Aurora1973 Ohhhh I hope you enjoy your acupuncture!
@tentoeturbo OK what is a tuck shop?? I’m intrigued!
@lisswastaken I HATE those days when I can’t find anything. Hoping it gets better for you!
@jessicark99 I’m starting progesterone this cycle too! FX for you!
@Kiki75 I agree completely about dental/vision/hearing and how it should be included in health…it's so messed up that they're not. I hope your appointment went well!
@AliciaGoose Hey there! Hoping you get your second set of CH soon and you get to mosey on over to the TWW! Yay!!!TTC January 2016

And about the allergies, do you use honey for anything? I read an article about how using local honey can decrease allergies because your body develops a resistance to the local flora. But since most of our honey is brought in from far away we lose this benefit. I know: sounds a bit hippy dippy. But I can tell a difference. And it's normally cheaper and tastes better.
@kellybean1988 Thanks. I need to just do it. Ugh. I jumped on the fitness thread... You can do it too! We can make each other!

WAYDTGKU: Still fighting with DH... Going well, he didn't even say bye when he left for work this morning.
R/R/CS: still feeling depressed, need to ring my doctor soon and book an appointment, probably for Thursday (it's Tuesday here) my mum is working tomorrow and I don't want to drag DS with me. Just got a text from my manager that work have finally approved my time off (by approved it I mean he just found someone to cover my shifts, technically I'm still
not actually taking time off)
*sigh* I just want some answers, and I'd like them today but I have to work this afternoon
GTKY (stolen from TWW): What is your preferred sleepwear of choice? Do you ever wear lingerie?
just comfy briefs and a singlet in summer and long pants or tights with a singlet in winter (Australia's winter isn't cold
enough to need major rugging up)
