It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
WAYDTGKU: BD, CM (decided not to start temping for the few month or two)
R/R/CS: Nothing today
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? Green - Calming, earthly, steady, but can have a dash of crazy when need be.
WAYDTGKU: This will be my 3rd month on Letrozole. Bought some green tea to help increase CM. Other than that.. just a regular month. Again.
R/R/CS: I'm super annoyed but not surprised to be back here. I expected AF all day yesterday, and spent all last night trying to decide if I should test again in the morning since it didn't come. Woke up to AF instead. Awesome. I guess the silver lining is that I didn't waste another test? I'm approaching this month differently. This is my third medicated cycle and the doctor said we'd look into further testing if I wasn't pregnant after this one. We now know that DH's semen is good. So far (having not had an HSG yet), there is no reason we shouldn't be able to get pregnant. I'm going to be very methodical and practical and try not to leave anything to chance this time. OPK's, great timing, etc. I'll do whatever I need to do to make it happen so I can at least know I did everything I could before things get complicated with testing.
But man, does CD1 suck. I probably shouldn't be around people today. The good news is that I decided to treat myself to my favourite Tim Hortons cookie (lemon sugar cookie with raspberry filling) and I was super upset when the case was empty. Lo and behold, the new batch just came out of the oven so I got a fresh, warm one. Win.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
Whatever this colour is. Not quite hot pink, but less purple than magenta or fuschia. A vibrant pink-red. Bold, but undeniably girly.
R/R/CS: Ugh. Yesterday's promising temp spike turned out to be an anomaly. Temp dropped back down to normal pre-O range again this morning. I can't wait for my appointment so we can start figuring out what is going on with my body.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
Burnt Umber, because it is dark and warm like the embers of a settling fire.
R/R/CS: I finished Letrozole on Saturday, and I've noticed nothing new this cycle compared to the past cycles so far, but I hope my body is doing what it's supposed to do and developing mature follicles. I go for my U/S on Thursday morning on CD 12 to check the progress and hopefully schedule the IUI.
GTKY: I would pick blue and gold--the colors of my favorite football team.

R/R/CS: My temp went up a TINY bit this morning. If it stays where it is for 2 more days, I get my CH. It's so weird because it's such a small increase, but the CM and OPKs are all pointing to yesterday as O day. Fingers crossed!
GTKY: Hm, this is a good one. I think I'm a yellow. Typically pretty bright and light, but can be kind of a gross dark color sometimes too.
R/R/CS: It's kind of funny/annoying how before we started TTC DH was so excited because it meant HIO ED at least according to him and I was more like well lets shoot for every day. However since being off BCP I've been the one wanting it ED and he's the one saying he needs time to recover...
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? Well my favorite color is green, it just makes me happy inside so I'm going to go with green.

R/R/CS: WE HAD SEX! Last night was the first time since my back went out 2 months ago and it was glorious! Haha. Even better...NO PAIN! Even if this cycle isn't "the one", I'm just glad to be off the bench!! Woot woot!
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? Mmmm...maybe a really soft pastel green or yellow. My first thought was "mellow yellow" because I'm really neutral and mellow most the time.

WAYDTGKU: All the things. Have an appt on the 7th of June to see if any follies are growing. Then a follow up, then a trigger then HIO.
R/R/CS: Will be MIA for the majority of the day. We are getting inspected at work tomorrow and the inspector is checking in tonight. SO trying to get everything finalized.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? Pink!! Like hot pink!!! It is just so pretty and sassy
R/R/CS: so tired. I couldn't get to sleep last night and then H woke me up when he got home from work at 3 am. Thank goodness this is his last week on night shift for a while!!
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
I'm going to say purple and pink with sparkles because I'm very much a girly girl.

WAYDTGKU: bbt, pnvs, opks, the beast with two backs
R/R/CS: The last two cycles FF has given me CH practically the day before my positive opk. Hoping my temp makes a significant jump tomorrow so it will give me CH today.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
This one, or it could go lighter and smokier. It's soft and feminine, but there's an undercurrent of darkness and steeliness. <I swear I wasn't an emo chick in high school.>

TTC #1 June 2015 April 2016 - AMH, FSH, Progesterone normal June 2016 - HSG clear *TW* BFP - Aug16, demise confirmed Sep16, incomplete m/c, D&C Nov16 BFP 3/27/17, edd 12/7/17 DS - 12/9/17 TTC #2 December 2018 BFP 2/22/19, edd 11/4/19 DD - 11/1/19 My Chart
R/R/CS: I have my baseline ultrasound this afternoon and as long as everything looks ok, we should be starting clomid tonight. I've also been snooping on my bloodwork results online and I notices my tsh levels came down but they are still a little bit higher than my obgyn originally wanted them, so I'm curious to find out if she will up my dose of levothyroxine. I'm a little nervous to start medicated cycles. 1. What if I get the clomid crazies and my husband can't stand me! 2. I never once in my life expected to have to fork out all this money to try to get KU.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? I think hot pink! I'm bright and sweet 90% of the time, but you really don't want to make me angry.

WAYDTGKU: It's close to FW time. So the usual PNV, Met, OPK, Preseed, BD EOD, no bbt/cm/cp this cycle.
R/R/CS: So my son was nice enough to give me his cold. I feel like death. and im back to work...I just want to go home and sleep. Kinda glad today is an off day for EOD
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? Probably black. I have been called "Wednesday" a lot in my life, like from the Adams family. I kind of resemble her as well. I think I can be a little more happy then her but I certainly have my gloomy moments.
R/R/CS: So I'm super confused... And I think my thermometer is favoring 97.49 so I don't think that I can trust my chart. I bought a new one since they're only $7, but I was trying to give the old one a chance. Tomorrow I think I'll switch though. (Sorry if the chart is huge, I'm on mobile) I've been MIA for a little while because I'm just confused and frustrated and feel like I'm in limbo so I've only been lurking for the last few days or so.
GTKY: RED. It's bold, fun, and can be a little wild and crazy. But it's also a primary, basic color.
R/R/CS: +OPKs since Saturday afternoon and my temp dropped this morning! Long surge this month. Feels like my ovaries have been in hyperdrive for days (thanks cohosh) so just waiting to move on over
poor DH complained that all the sex is making him feel like a stud horse for rent. Must be so terrible that your wife wants to have ALL the sex with you. Still banged out 2 rounds yesterday. Should really reward him with some carrots......
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
im going to go with green. Like a mossy green. It's warm and friendly and soft but makes its presence known
R/R/CS: So FF gave me CH on CD 10 (which is super early for me) but then took them away yesterday after my temp way dropped. Honestly it's my own fault for playing with the new Temperature Corrector feature, I suppose, but still disappointing since my last 2 cycles I didn't O until CD 30. I don't want that again. I got a "High" on my CBAD OPK yesterday, but I've been known to get "High" readings for over 2 weeks before O because my body is an asshole. So hopefully I O this week, if not it'll be another cycle of twiddling my thumbs and driving myself crazy as I overanalyze each and every symptom that could mean O.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? Plum because it's dark (like my soul), but not quite black and still pretty feminine.
@linzrunz I didn't sleep at all last night either...the worst.
Cycle: 6/6 after MC
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: Clomid 150 mg CDs 3 - 7, temping for the first time, HIO ED probably, starting green tea today
R/R/CS: My division was just turned upside down insofar as management. Have a meeting this morning to be told how we will be restructured. Sure, okay, whatevs, I'm down.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? Crimson. Roll Tide
R/R/CS: Hope everyone's holiday weekend (USA) went great!
We've HIO ED for the last 3-4 days. While that's amazing, it's not in FW, so I'm hoping that when FW actually comes, we can keep this up and not get burnt out.
I've got a pretty easy day today. No boss and only in the office for about 6 hours. Plus, I'm going to leave at lunch to meet a friend at the farmers market nearby.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
I would pick purple. Like a more deep, royal purple. It's girly, but not overly girly like pink. Also, I think it symbolizes loyalty. Plus, I look good in purple.
@mokay19 Switching thermometers mid-cycle can mess with your chart. It's usually better to just wait until your next cycle (if necessary)
Month/Cycle: 9/10
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: CM, sex
R/R/CS: I think I may have O'd, but I'll have to keep checking CM today just to make sure it really has switched to being non-fertile. Hopefully I get to head over to the TWW thread tomorrow!
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? I don't connect with these types of questions so I also took an online quiz and I got green, which is also my favorite color so I guess that makes sense.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? Glitter is my favorite color, take that however you want.
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!
R/R/CS: Well I'm back here and a little frustrated. SO is a very positive person and says "we're doing all we can so we just have to be positive and continue to try". He wants to try a few more months then get a SA. Why can't he get a SA now to rule him out? I guess I don't know if he will have to go to a PCP, urologist or my OBGYN. I can't even see my OBGYN until August. I guess I have to be "patient" and continue doing what we're doing for a few more months before I get any answers.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? My favorite color is purple. I would say it is dark at times, but can be feminine and bold.
R/R/CS: I had issues charting last cycle. FF convinced me I ovulated way before I probably did. I changed the settings to FAM instead of Advanced, and it moved to a more realistic ovulation day.
I have been off here for a while, since I've been out of town. My family and I went back to my grandparents' home town to bury my grandma's ashes with my grandpa. Memorial weekend is when the town does its annual town parade, and that teeny tiny town comes to life. We used to go up every year when I was a kid, and we would camp out at the lake. My husband and I stayed in a hotel in a nearby town, but we spent most of our time at the lake with my family. It was a nice way to honor my grandparents by taking the trip they both looked forward to all year.
The downside is that I started my period while we were there. I think one of my aunts was worried about me and thought I was taking it hard. I was very sad, of course. I miss my grandparents terribly. But the reason I looked so bad was because I was cramping like crazy, and trying to keep that to myself.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? Pink. That's not even a close call. It's my favorite color. I wear pink on my body somewhere every day.

GTKY: oxblood. daring, classic, dramatic, but not too bold.
@mrsdee15 Re: glitter! I love that! My wedding colours were cranberry red, black and gold sparkle. People kept telling me that sparkle isn't a colour but that's ridiculous. I love sparkly gold so much and it was an amazing accent to our wedding decor, and now I have it all over my living room as well.

Both in not wasting a test as well as in the cookies!! Yum! @wineo929 Another Fx for you! @juliebeannn Congrats for being back in action!! @SnobunnieMel Fx for you! My husband also made a similar comment when we first started TTC. He didn't like that it was the only thing I focused on. Or the main reason why I wanted to have sex with him. He still wanted there to be love and sparks. Now I just don't make it as known. But he is always down for some BD @britters314 Fx for you! @mrsdee15 YES! Glitter! @MollyandD Sounds like you had a nice Memorial Day weekend, other than the CD1.
Also, I would like to add that I have always mobile bumped and this is the first time that I have bumped on a computer. Its a totally different experience! The siggys are way cool and have been giving me a good laugh! I may continue to do my post on mobile while I'm on my way into work, but then respond on the computer.
R/R/CS: It rained all weekend so we couldn't swim or grill. I'm just feeling very blah today. Ugh.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? Mint for a lot of reasons. I'm a social worker and I find mint as a soothing, mellow color. It reminds me to choose my words kindly and to always put myself into others shoes. It's also my favorite color.

WAYDTGKU: CM, going to use OPKs this month, not temping bc I'm a bad sleeper... will try next month.
R/R/CS: Weekend was good! Worked a lot in the garden! I got some cash for my bday (31 on June 2nd) so I bought a blueberry bush and a strawberry plant. I hope they thrive! Haven't been thinking about TTC since AF and its been great! Starting to buckle down now though. Going to start OPKs this month. Dr said I might not even be ovulating yet bc I got off BCP 4 months ago. Got on the scale and was horrified! Now scared I'm too overweight and that's what's preventing us. Ordering a treadmill today!
R/R/CS: I ordered preseed on Amazon the other day. I didn't read the description and was slightly alarmed when I opened the box and saw all of the "injectors". I feel like a turkey.

R/R/CS: It's kind of funny/annoying how before we started TTC DH was so excited because it meant HIO ED at least according to him and I was more like well lets shoot for every day. However since being off BCP I've been the one wanting it ED and he's the one saying he needs time to recover...
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
Well my favorite color is green, it just makes me happy inside so I'm going to go with green.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
Mmmm...maybe a really soft pastel green or yellow. My first thought was "mellow yellow" because I'm really neutral and mellow most the time.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
This one, or it could go lighter and smokier. It's soft and feminine, but there's an undercurrent of darkness and steeliness. <I swear I wasn't an emo chick in high school.>

My Chart
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt, opk, levothyroxine, probably starting clomid today
R/R/CS: I have my baseline ultrasound this afternoon and as long as everything looks ok, we should be starting clomid tonight. I've also been snooping on my bloodwork results online and I notices my tsh levels came down but they are still a little bit higher than my obgyn originally wanted them, so I'm curious to find out if she will up my dose of levothyroxine. I'm a little nervous to start medicated cycles. 1. What if I get the clomid crazies and my husband can't stand me! 2. I never once in my life expected to have to fork out all this money to try to get KU.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? I think hot pink! I'm bright and sweet 90% of the time, but you really don't want to make me angry.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
Probably black. I have been called "Wednesday" a lot in my life, like from the Adams family. I kind of resemble her as well. I think I can be a little more happy then her but I certainly have my gloomy moments.

WAYDTGKU: Metformin, PNV, sex, temping
R/R/CS: So I'm super confused... And I think my thermometer is favoring 97.49 so I don't think that I can trust my chart. I bought a new one since they're only $7, but I was trying to give the old one a chance. Tomorrow I think I'll switch though. (Sorry if the chart is huge, I'm on mobile)
I've been MIA for a little while because I'm just confused and frustrated and feel like I'm in limbo so I've only been lurking for the last few days or so.
GTKY: RED. It's bold, fun, and can be a little wild and crazy. But it's also a primary, basic color.
Cycle: 7/2 TTCAL
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, ovaboost, myo inositol, fertilaid, fertilecm, acupuncture, black cohosh cd5-15, CP, CM, HIO ED, OPK, preseed, fertility meditation, pineapple core tomorrow
R/R/CS: +OPKs since Saturday afternoon and my temp dropped this morning! Long surge this month. Feels like my ovaries have been in hyperdrive for days (thanks cohosh) so just waiting to move on over
poor DH complained that all the sex is making him feel like a stud horse for rent. Must be so terrible that your wife wants to have ALL the sex with you. Still banged out 2 rounds yesterday. Should really reward him with some carrots......
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
im going to go with green. Like a mossy green. It's warm and friendly and soft but makes its presence known
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU:
R/R/CS: So FF gave me CH on CD 10 (which is super early for me) but then took them away yesterday after my temp way dropped. Honestly it's my own fault for playing with the new Temperature Corrector feature, I suppose, but still disappointing since my last 2 cycles I didn't O until CD 30. I don't want that again. I got a "High" on my CBAD OPK yesterday, but I've been known to get "High" readings for over 2 weeks before O because my body is an asshole. So hopefully I O this week, if not it'll be another cycle of twiddling my thumbs and driving myself crazy as I overanalyze each and every symptom that could mean O.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
Plum because it's dark (like my soul), but not quite black and still pretty feminine.

R/R/CS: I think I may have O'd, but I'll have to keep checking CM today just to make sure it really has switched to being non-fertile. Hopefully I get to head over to the TWW thread tomorrow!
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
I don't connect with these types of questions so I also took an online quiz and I got green, which is also my favorite color so I guess that makes sense.
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: Just what you'd expect at this point.
R/R/CS: It looks like AF is gone.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
Glitter is my favorite color, take that however you want.
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!
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: Just PNVs at the moment.
R/R/CS: Well I'm back here and a little frustrated. SO is a very positive person and says "we're doing all we can so we just have to be positive and continue to try". He wants to try a few more months then get a SA. Why can't he get a SA now to rule him out? I guess I don't know if he will have to go to a PCP, urologist or my OBGYN. I can't even see my OBGYN until August. I guess I have to be "patient" and continue doing what we're doing for a few more months before I get any answers.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick? My favorite color is purple. I would say it is dark at times, but can be feminine and bold.
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: Charting temps and CM, Preseed
R/R/CS: I had issues charting last cycle. FF convinced me I ovulated way before I probably did. I changed the settings to FAM instead of Advanced, and it moved to a more realistic ovulation day.
I have been off here for a while, since I've been out of town. My family and I went back to my grandparents' home town to bury my grandma's ashes with my grandpa. Memorial weekend is when the town does its annual town parade, and that teeny tiny town comes to life. We used to go up every year when I was a kid, and we would camp out at the lake. My husband and I stayed in a hotel in a nearby town, but we spent most of our time at the lake with my family. It was a nice way to honor my grandparents by taking the trip they both looked forward to all year.
The downside is that I started my period while we were there. I think one of my aunts was worried about me and thought I was taking it hard. I was very sad, of course. I miss my grandparents terribly. But the reason I looked so bad was because I was cramping like crazy, and trying to keep that to myself.
GTKY: (stolen from TWW) If you had to describe yourself using a colour, what colour would you pick?
Pink. That's not even a close call. It's my favorite color. I wear pink on my body somewhere every day.
<b>CD: </b>2 @linzrunz @PepperAT CD2 Crew! lol
<b>WAYDTGKU: </b>Temping, Charting on paper and with FF, CM/CP, OPK's in a few days, PNV's, DHA, Selenium, Zinc, Co-Q10, FertileCM, (adding Ovaboost this cycle), Fertilitea CD2-Oish, Mucinex and B6 CD7-17, plus started testing this past cycle, so we'll see what else the doctor may recommend.
<b>R/R/CS</b>:
Post-testing F/U apt got rescheduled to Thursday so I will just have to wait and see what he says... on the edge of my seat.

@wineo929 Another Fx for you!
@juliebeannn Congrats for being back in action!!
@SnobunnieMel Fx for you! My husband also made a similar comment when we first started TTC. He didn't like that it was the only thing I focused on. Or the main reason why I wanted to have sex with him. He still wanted there to be love and sparks. Now I just don't make it as known. But he is always down for some BD
@britters314 Fx for you!
@mrsdee15 YES! Glitter!
@MollyandD Sounds like you had a nice Memorial Day weekend, other than the CD1.
Also, I would like to add that I have always mobile bumped and this is the first time that I have bumped on a computer. Its a totally different experience!

R/R/CS: Weekend was good! Worked a lot in the garden! I got some cash for my bday (31 on June 2nd) so I bought a blueberry bush and a strawberry plant. I hope they thrive! Haven't been thinking about TTC since AF and its been great! Starting to buckle down now though. Going to start OPKs this month. Dr said I might not even be ovulating yet bc I got off BCP 4 months ago. Got on the scale and was horrified! Now scared I'm too overweight and that's what's preventing us. Ordering a treadmill today!
