R/R/CS: So, I'm basically refusing to leave WTO. Yup. Denial. lol. So I updated the Thursday thread last night, but it was late. I am on my two-a-days OPK testing since I always catch my surge in the second half of the day. Last night, the strip was as just about as dark as the control, which was exactly how my highest reading was last cycle (it never got darker, and was just a tad lighter). I decided I'd see if the morning one was really pale before calling it. This morning, it was still really dark - almost as dark as last night. So I'm going to do one more before trying to pinpoint. My temps aren't probably going to give me CH this cycle because the first bunch of days were all travel and crazy, and my temps are higher. It looks like their could be a dip on CD13, but that doesn't line up with the OPK. I did start EWCM last night and still this morning. So I've got a mixed bag of signals and I'm going to wait until tonight to call myself out.
All THAT said, I leave here at about 7:30PM Dallas time tonight and get in 4:30PM Saturday...finally in the home stretch. If today is in fact my ovulation day based on OPK, I can sneak in a +1. If the OPK is still dark this afternoon, or darker, which is not super likely, I might be able to get 0 and +1.
GTKY: I'm voting today Free-For-All Friday, and post your absolute favorite gif of all time. Or the week. al time might be really hard.
This one makes me laugh every time, probably because I have totally done this haha
<b>WAYDTGKU</b>: Started Mucinex and OPKs at CD6... continuing Fertilitea, Green tea, Ovaboost, FertileCM, B6, D, Calcium, PNVs, DHA, CoQ10, Selenium, Zinc. Pre-peak bloodwork some time soonish...
<b>R/R/CS</b>: Big old O on my OPKs for the third day, so that's cool. I got a High reading last cycle on CD8 and O'd on CD11 so at least it's not sneaking up on me so much this time!
<b>GTKY</b>: Best gif ever, imho, would probably have to be a unicorn group-hug. Just on principle. <img title="Image: https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2012/6/22/15576__safe_twilight+sparkle_rainbow+dash_rarity_animated_spike_smile_hub+logo_eyes+closed_hug.gif" src="https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2012/6/22/15576__safe_twilight+sparkle_rainbow+dash_rarity_animated_spike_smile_hub+logo_eyes+closed_hug.gif" alt=""> I feel like @PepperAT is probably going to win this one today! lol Where you at, woman?
WAYDTGKU: sex. Acupuncture, tea tea and more tea. I'm so over the RRL. Pnv, temp & cm
R/R/CS: waiting. My temps can't be trusted because my job doesn't allow me to get much rest and I wake up on fire or freezing depending on the status of the AC. However I'm doing opks and my cm is usually spot on. I'm jealous of all of you with a three day weekend, I get Sunday morning and that's it.
GTKY: I'm voting today Free-For-All Friday, and post your absolute favorite gif of all time. Or the week. al time might be really hard.
Mobile bumping don't know where all my good ones are.
@Krys A positive OPK still means you can O up to 72 hours AFTER, it doesn't necessarily "pinpoint" O. So keep watching your CM like a hawk. The last day of fertile-type CM (eggwhite or watery) is probably O day, (but again, not necessarily), so watch for when it makes an obvious change to creamy or whatever, then - in a perfect world where you weren't living on an airplane for the next DAY - you would start to see your temps rise. And you still may! Just get home safe and sound and when you do, HIO like your life depends on it! lol But seriously, if in fact today/last night was your positive OPK reading, try to BD for at least the next three days, because really all that means is O could happen at any time now... FX for you!!!
R/R/CS: Maybe I am not 100% out. My luck, I most certainly probably am. But with still no O, and going from dry/sticky/creamy to wet CM yesterday with a just teeny tiny amount of EW and that big temp drop again... Maybe. Dh actually texted me and asked what my temp was yesterday morning. So I told him that it was really low again and he asked what that meant. I said "(1) my body has not O'd yet so it may be gearing up to give it another try (2) my temps are just weird this cycle and its just got going to happen and its trying to adjust hormones or something (3) I will be getting AF at some point today. But it is whatevs because per our last conversation we are just letting it go this cycle and not worrying about it" He then said, well then be ready tonight cause we will give it a shot. When I got home he was all "you need to let me know these things so I can cut my meds down so I can perform properly. Yeah we are NOT going to stress out like we have been but we still need to try. So let me know what is going on and we will take it from there." I was like..... Squuueeeeeeeee And guys I have been DYING to tell you this but it was late last night so I waited. But he actually initiated a little weekend get away!!!!! We will just be heading an hour away and wont be doing much. But he wanted us to get away and just have some alone/down time. I had the hotel booked before he could even finish his sentence. LOL. He has severe PTSD so we do not really do a whole lot outside of home. So I am totes BSC happy.
GTKY: Oh @Krys this is hard. Since I am so new with the gifs, I have so many favorites. I am a pretty calm and collected person on the outside. Especially in my profession, I cant be all silly nilly around people. And for the most part I am pretty shy on my exterior. So when there is a good jam on, or something awesome happens or whatever, this Gif sums up my life of what I feel on the inside.. I for some reason find it utterly hilarious too. (Who is the strange one in the group? - I raise my hand)
R/R/CS: This part of the cycle feels like the equivalent of slowly moving up the big hill on the roller coaster. I'll just keep inching up this hill, checking out the scenery like these guys, while I wait for my typical CD17-20 O!
@Krys - I surely hope it stays dark for you so you can get O, +1. Me sending you positive, O please hold out long enough for you to get home and get some great timing loving, vibesss. And safe travels!!! YAY FOR HOME!!!
@BusinessWife - I cannot stop watching your siggy gif. I was laughing my A$$ OFF last night.. H is like wth is your problem?! So I showed him. We literally watched/and laughed at your gif for 5 minutes.
R/R/CS: Going into my busy season at work so hopefully it will take my mind off of things. On the other hand, I hope I actually have time to have sex.
GTKY: I'm voting today Free-For-All Friday, and post your absolute favorite gif of all time. Or the week. al time might be really hard.

@BusinessWife I’m definitely hanging on. And like my life
depends on it? YOU BET! LOL! He’d be in serious trouble if I were home the past
few days. My drive is through the roof this cycle. My BC completely KILLED it,
so if this is the new normal, he’s in for it. Hahaha
R/R/CS: Well yesterday finally turned into CD1 for me. Migraines and cramps are horrible. Silver lining is that I'm the only one in the office today. Which means I'll be bumping all day. I mean working. Yeah. Working.
WAYDTGKU: drinking all the tea, temping, OPKs starting this weekend
R/R/CS: I have to run into the office a little early this morning. My boss is going on vacation all next week and wants all my end-of-month reports done TODAY. I can't start them until the first of the following month, and sometimes these take me up to a week to do if I can't get things to balance properly! Ugh...anyway, it's Friday, so I really can't complain.
GTKY: In the spirit of Friday, here's mine.

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Temping, CP, CM, Baby Aspirin, OPKs
R/R/CS: Well I don't feel like dying anymore so that's good. Looking forward to the long weekend. We're doing all of our social things on Saturday so we can relax on the 4th. I'd love to do fireworks but we still have work early in the morning come Tuesday. I'm totally looking forward to rib fest this Saturday though. I'm going to eat all the food.
GTKY: I'm voting today Free-For-All Friday, and post your absolute favorite gif of all time. Or the week. all time might be really hard.
R/R/CS: I am already down the shore so not much to whine about. Loving the long weekend ahead!! Waiting for CH or a CM change before I move along. I got a +OPK but haven't confirmed my O yet.
@GrabberBlue2010 Yess!!! That is totally what I was going for! So many of the diving board fails, you're jut like OUCH! And have to look away, but this one, I was like, shoot! I could watch this gif all night! lol simple joys.
@linzrunz Ugh, babe, so sorry to see you here, but finally good to move on and start fresh. Sorry you're feeling so miserable... <img title="Image: https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3jvUDoA_7KI/UFxNWHv2scI/AAAAAAAADFg/8P1fn-hQTdI/s1600/everything-hurts.gif" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3jvUDoA_7KI/UFxNWHv2scI/AAAAAAAADFg/8P1fn-hQTdI/s1600/everything-hurts.gif" alt=""> I love that octopus gif, too! lol My real go-to lately it seems like tina fey <img title="Image: https://www.okmoviequotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/30-rock-quotestina-fey.gif" src="https://www.okmoviequotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/30-rock-quotestina-fey.gif" alt=""> This is basically me these days. ha!
R/R/CS: looks like I will be benched next cycle for the removal of two uterine polyps found during my saline sono yesterday. This makes me sad but the upside is there's a small chance it is what is preventing us from getting pregnant and there are studies showing removal may slightly increase fertility.
GTKY: I'm voting today Free-For-All Friday, and post your absolute favorite gif of all time. Or the week. al time might be really hard.
@linzrunz - Sorry for CD1. Glad you can at least hang out here all day. That gif always makes me giggle, too. I like the owl one about missing a thread gone wild but feel like the octopus is more classic.

That is no bueno... @nwegman7878 - mmmmmmmmm ribs!!!!!!!!!!!! I could do some ribs for breakfast right about now... get me off the donut kick I am on... that I may or may not have already had... LOL That pug gif cracks me up!!! @BusinessWife - LMAO it is the little things in life, really. lololol. Tina Fey is bomb
R/R/CS: It's Friday. Before a 3 day weekend. And I'm almost 100% positive that my manager is letting us leave at 2:30. Today is already a wonderful day. Also my MIL kept DS last night, so not only did DH and I have a quiet dinner and evening, but I have extra time this morning (to bump) because I don't have to wake DS, get him dressed, and take him to my MIL before work.
All of our 4th of July plans are actually happening on the 3rd. So I'm looking forward to really having a day off and just chilling all day Monday.
GTKY: I feel like this one is appropriate for this board. I sent it to DH when AF was in town.
Krys Glad your OPKs are finally getting darker. Just a heads up though, ovulation usually occurs within 24-48 hours of your LH surge. So if you're getting positives yesterday or today, your O day most likely will be today tomorrow.
BusinessWife Ah I don't miss when my WAYDTGKU list looked like that. Glad to hear O isn't trying to sneak up on you this time around though.
leekat14 Sorry your temps seem off and that you don't get to enjoy a three day weekend.
GrabberBlue2010 Sounds like things are looking up for you! FX that O comes around soon and enjoy your getaway.
bornmommy I wish busy season was here (at least I'll say that now while we're slow). Hopefully it'll keep your mind busy.
linzrunz Ugh sorry for CD1. I feel you. Enjoy your empty day at the office. A ton of people here took today off and I'm sure even more will be leaving early with the holiday weekend.
pretzel2plus1 I'm sorry about the workload. A customer did that to me last week. Here's something that usually takes a week to do, I need it in 24 hours. I finished it but working a full day and then a few hours at home is no fun.
Marley629 I'm sorry that they found the polyps but it is a step in the right direction. It could definitely be hurting you from a TTC standpoint so FX it helps your fertility once you're able to jump back into things.
@krys I hope your O holds out until you're home! @BusinessWife when are you supposed to start taking the mucinex? A few days before your FW or can you start when your FW is supposed to start? @GrabberBlue2010 I love your gif game! I love using them as well! @bornmommy I LOVE THE GOLDEN GIRLS! @pretzel2plus1 that stinks you have to do a weeks worth of work in one day. @nwegman7878 I love when ribfest comes to town, ours is usually in Nov!

R/R/CS: I triggered last night!! I was really nervous so I actually had DH stick it in. It didn't hurt at all. I'm scheduled for the IUI Saturday at 9:40.
GTKY: I'm voting today Free-For-All Friday, and post your absolute favorite gif of all time. Or the week. al time might be really hard.
@KirstinH88 - Yay for leaving early!!! And for quiet time for you and DH that is awesome. LOL to your gif. So so so so true. I think I am going to have to save that one. @Luckyone21 - Thanks! I am glad your bloating has went away. Deflating from AF is almost as enjoyable as the removal of the bra at the end of the day..
@Luckywon21 my doctor said ten days, 600mg 2x per day. So figure starting about two days prior to when FW would be? Originally he told me cd8-18, but when he saw i was oing earlyish like cd14-15, he said try cd7-17. Then last cycle, I O'd on cd11! So that's why I figured cd6-16, but if I dont O till the later end like cd15, then I'll continue a few more days to cd18.
Idea being, get the juices flowing ahead of time, FW starts, O happens, and keep it up to maximize the end of FW. (My doctor recommends using all the way to peak+3 to figure FW, since targeting O is not always super precise, better to keep HIO if possible, like +1, +3, or +1,+2 than just +1 and stop or O and stop).
@Marley629 So sorry you have to go through another procedure w the polyps, but FX this is good news for you - maybe they found your answer!! ((Hugs))
@Daisy621 - YAY for IUI! FX for you! I know I was scared AF for that shot. But you are right, it was nothing! Super happy for you dear, hoping all goes well
@Marley629 That sucks – but FX it helps increase fertility
for you guys!
@Luckywon21 omg I love Will Ferrell – that gif is hilarious.

WAYDTGKU: charting, temping, OPKs
R/R/CS: DH comes home today - woot! I decided I'm going to use my first OPK today - never done it before. It may be a few days early, but I figured screw it - might as well test a week or so before I think it's gonna happen just to make sure - at least this first month.
DHs bro and his wife are coming in to town tomorrow. They're super sweet people, but kind of hard to find something they want to do. We are going to a baseball game, so that will be fun - but everything else we've suggested they've turned down. I refuse to go to the beach - because 1) 4th of july weekend - are you high?? and 2) flesh eating bacteria is a thing on our beach lately. Thanks, but no thanks. So IDK - we'll probably just go to the game then end up sitting around the house talking and grilling. (Not drinking though. Day 23 of my whole30. *sobs*)
GTKY: I'm voting today Free-For-All Friday, and post your absolute favorite gif of all time. Or the week. al time might be really hard. I love seeing people get smacked in the face. And this guy... only because it's happened to me before and I can relate:
@hezzer78 - well what ever you end up doing this weekend I hope you have fun! No to flesh eating bacteria... we all need you around. That is a def negative. And omg I totally just busted out laughing at your gifs. I got a couple odd looks from people. I couldnt contain it.
@Marley629 Oh no! FX that they get them removed no problem.

WAYDTGKU: temping, PNVs, will start monitoring CM after the spotting ends (probably tomorrow)
R/R/CS: Just realized I will very likely ovulate this month while we are at the in-laws' house for a week. Which means i'll almost definitely be out. The sleeping situation there will not be ideal (as in we will be sleeping in a small uncomfortable bed, on the main floor of the house, with DD in a pack-and-play set up about 12 inches from the side of our bed). We will be at my mom's house for a few days and have our own bedroom, but I don't know that we'll be able to time that super well based on where we have to be and when. At least my hopes won't be up this time around. I usually O between days 19 and 21. I might be able to hit days 17, 18, and 21 if I'm really focused. But it won't be easy. Boo.
GTKY: I'm voting today Free-For-All Friday, and post your absolute favorite gif of all time. Or the week. al time might be really hard. Guys, I have no idea how to do this. And I'm in the office, where a vast majority of fun websites are blocked, so I don't even think I could find a decent gif to post. I do really enjoy the nopenopenopenope octopus though.
R/R/CS: Woke up this morning and had a like real AF for the second day and was super pumped. Since going off the pill I've only been getting the weird am I spotting or is this AF? It lasts like one day and then I spend the next two weeks trying to figure out my life. Also since going off the pill I'm the worst emotional wreck ever. I cry over everything, happy, sad, scared, angry, indifferent, doesn't matter. My nephew was in a talent show, his whole kindergarten class did Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. He was a wheel to a car and I got all teared up. I mean the kid was a tire who literally walked across the stage. One part of me was like look at him in his adorable newsie hat holding a car wheel! He's brilliant! The other part of me was like get it together you irrational loon. He's a tire, not a piano prodigy.
R/R/CS: I think I may have gotten a positive yesterday on Wondfo OPK, but I'm gonna hang out here for another day or so.

@GrabberBlue2010 Fx that option #1 is legit! And so great that DH is ready to HIO. Also yay for the little weekend get away!!
@bornmommy I mobile gif while I'm not at work and the upload of the gifs really isn't that bad. Thankfully. Otherwise...not sure I would ever do it!
@linzrunz Sorry to see you back in the WTO. Hopefully AF isn't too horrible to you.
@pretzel2plus1 Don't you hate those unrealistic deadlines? Like really? How does he expect you to do it all in one day? Hopefully you can stay off the bump and really concentrate and hopefully everything balances the first time so it doesn't take forever!
@Marley629 So sorry to hear about you being benched. But Fx that this is really what you need to get back some fertility and get pregnant!
@delujm0 even if you do just hit CD 17, 18, and 21 that still sounds pretty good compared to when you typically O. Fx for you. And if you are in bed with 4 walls around it, Just HIO.
@ktcakes87 I loved HIMYM and Robin Sparkles! Yes!!!
@Mandybeeslp Good luck at your reunion! I have my 20th coming up in a month - and I'm really debating going. I didn't go to my 10 year, but I wasn't in a good spot in my life at the time. I really hated high school. Like, really. I'm not sure I want to relive those days - but I would like to see some people so IDK.
@berg So sorry you're emotions are all over the place - but I got a good chuckle at your story. Crazy what our hormones do to us sometimes!
@daisy621 YAY for trigger and IUI! Everything is crossed for you!

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK, PNV
R/R/CS: So, I'm basically refusing to leave WTO. Yup. Denial. lol. So I updated the Thursday thread last night, but it was late. I am on my two-a-days OPK testing since I always catch my surge in the second half of the day. Last night, the strip was as just about as dark as the control, which was exactly how my highest reading was last cycle (it never got darker, and was just a tad lighter). I decided I'd see if the morning one was really pale before calling it. This morning, it was still really dark - almost as dark as last night. So I'm going to do one more before trying to pinpoint. My temps aren't probably going to give me CH this cycle because the first bunch of days were all travel and crazy, and my temps are higher. It looks like their could be a dip on CD13, but that doesn't line up with the OPK. I did start EWCM last night and still this morning. So I've got a mixed bag of signals and I'm going to wait until tonight to call myself out.
All THAT said, I leave here at about 7:30PM Dallas time tonight and get in 4:30PM Saturday...finally in the home stretch. If today is in fact my ovulation day based on OPK, I can sneak in a +1. If the OPK is still dark this afternoon, or darker, which is not super likely, I might be able to get 0 and +1.

However I'm doing opks and my cm is usually spot on. I'm jealous of all of you with a three day weekend, I get Sunday morning and that's it.

Cycle/Month: 23 / 29
CD: 36
WAYDTGKU: HIO... maybe some preseed...
because...
R/R/CS: Maybe I am not 100% out. My luck, I most certainly probably am. But with still no O, and going from dry/sticky/creamy to wet CM yesterday with a just teeny tiny amount of EW and that big temp drop again... Maybe.
Dh actually texted me and asked what my temp was yesterday morning. So I told him that it was really low again and he asked what that meant. I said "(1) my body has not O'd yet so it may be gearing up to give it another try (2) my temps are just weird this cycle and its just got going to happen and its trying to adjust hormones or something (3) I will be getting AF at some point today. But it is whatevs because per our last conversation we are just letting it go this cycle and not worrying about it" He then said, well then be ready tonight cause we will give it a shot. When I got home he was all "you need to let me know these things so I can cut my meds down so I can perform properly. Yeah we are NOT going to stress out like we have been but we still need to try. So let me know what is going on and we will take it from there." I was like.....
And guys I have been DYING to tell you this but it was late last night so I waited. But he actually initiated a little weekend get away!!!!! We will just be heading an hour away and wont be doing much. But he wanted us to get away and just have some alone/down time. I had the hotel booked before he could even finish his sentence. LOL. He has severe PTSD so we do not really do a whole lot outside of home. So I am totes BSC happy.
GTKY: Oh @Krys this is hard. Since I am so new with the gifs, I have so many favorites. I am a pretty calm and collected person on the outside. Especially in my profession, I cant be all silly nilly around people. And for the most part I am pretty shy on my exterior. So when there is a good jam on, or something awesome happens or whatever, this Gif sums up my life of what I feel on the inside.. I for some reason find it utterly hilarious too.

R/R/CS: looks like I will be benched next cycle for the removal of two uterine polyps found during my saline sono yesterday.

leekat14 Sorry your temps seem off and that you don't get to enjoy a three day weekend.
GrabberBlue2010 Sounds like things are looking up for you! FX that O comes around soon and enjoy your getaway.
bornmommy I wish busy season was here (at least I'll say that now while we're slow). Hopefully it'll keep your mind busy.
linzrunz Ugh sorry for CD1. I feel you. Enjoy your empty day at the office. A ton of people here took today off and I'm sure even more will be leaving early with the holiday weekend.
pretzel2plus1 I'm sorry about the workload. A customer did that to me last week. Here's something that usually takes a week to do, I need it in 24 hours. I finished it but working a full day and then a few hours at home is no fun.
Marley629 I'm sorry that they found the polyps but it is a step in the right direction. It could definitely be hurting you from a TTC standpoint so FX it helps your fertility once you're able to jump back into things.

Idea being, get the juices flowing ahead of time, FW starts, O happens, and keep it up to maximize the end of FW. (My doctor recommends using all the way to peak+3 to figure FW, since targeting O is not always super precise, better to keep HIO if possible, like +1, +3, or +1,+2 than just +1 and stop or O and stop).
@Marley629 So sorry you have to go through another procedure w the polyps, but FX this is good news for you - maybe they found your answer!! ((Hugs))

DHs bro and his wife are coming in to town tomorrow. They're super sweet people, but kind of hard to find something they want to do. We are going to a baseball game, so that will be fun - but everything else we've suggested they've turned down. I refuse to go to the beach - because 1) 4th of july weekend - are you high?? and 2) flesh eating bacteria is a thing on our beach lately. Thanks, but no thanks. So IDK - we'll probably just go to the game then end up sitting around the house talking and grilling. (Not drinking though. Day 23 of my whole30. *sobs*)

R/R/CS: Just realized I will very likely ovulate this month while we are at the in-laws' house for a week. Which means i'll almost definitely be out. The sleeping situation there will not be ideal (as in we will be sleeping in a small uncomfortable bed, on the main floor of the house, with DD in a pack-and-play set up about 12 inches from the side of our bed). We will be at my mom's house for a few days and have our own bedroom, but I don't know that we'll be able to time that super well based on where we have to be and when. At least my hopes won't be up this time around. I usually O between days 19 and 21. I might be able to hit days 17, 18, and 21 if I'm really focused. But it won't be easy. Boo.

It lasts like one day and then I spend the next two weeks trying to figure out my life. Also since going off the pill I'm the worst emotional wreck ever. I cry over everything, happy, sad, scared, angry, indifferent, doesn't matter. My nephew was in a talent show, his whole kindergarten class did Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. He was a wheel to a car and I got all teared up. I mean the kid was a tire who literally walked across the stage. One part of me was like look at him in his adorable newsie hat holding a car wheel! He's brilliant! The other part of me was like get it together you irrational loon. He's a tire, not a piano prodigy.
