To all you lovelies that get the joy of a weekend, happy Friday!!

Month/Cycle: 30 / 24

CD: 23

WAYDTGKU: HIO EOD, trying to lose weight, green tea when I remember.

R/R: So yesterday was my day off... LOL. Yeah, it did not happen. I had to let go of the person who I have been training the past couple weeks. Still no day off in sight. Tomorrow starts week 7 of no day off.
I also have a wisdom tooth on the move, and it is super painful. I did not sleep well 2 nights ago so I had a MASSIVE temp spike yesterday morning. I took tons of pain meds to help me sleep last night so temp was more normal today. Bad time for this kind of stuff to happen since O should be any day now. I hope and pray it wont be another 60 day cycle like last month. 

CS/Q: Nah

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?
One in which I do not have to go to work the next day. LOL.
In all seriousness, I am a home body. So maybe ordering some take out, eating at home and watching a movie cuddled up on the couch or having an xbox marathon gaming session.

@GrabberBlue2010. How have you been doing with your walks?

WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, temping, sex 

R/R: My bladder has ruined my temping this month. I've missed two temps. If this continues, I'll have to set my alarm earlier. When I wasn't temping I wasn't peeing in the middle of the night. Wtf?! Lol

CS/Q:

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night? Sitting at home, reading or watching TV with the hubby. I'm always peopled out on Friday. 

GrabberBlue2010

@BusinessWife ugh I have failed miserably with it. I have gotten off work late every day this week and just crash when I get home. I have not even been eating very much at all. And now with the tooth, GGRRRRRR... maybe next week? LOL. How about you?

WAYDTGKU: Charting, vitamins, Preseed

R/R: So last night I had to take my cat to the vet which he hates. When he got his rabies vaccine he freaked out and pooed all over himself. I get him home, DH and I spend about 20 minutes trying to clean poo off an angry cat before giving up, laughing hysterically and saying “so… that’s no for baby making activities this evening.”

Also,

CS/Q:

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?

Binge watching something on Netflix and eating junk food for dinner…. 

Edit: somehow everything I posted was in a Spolier box. Don't even know how I did that... The board struggles are real this week.

[Deleted User]

@GrabberBlue2010 I have not been whip-free #sorrynotsorry but mostly my food choices throughout the week have not been bad.  I give myself a C+.  I could pull it up to a solid B if I get out for a half a jog today tho! Lol

WAYDTGKU: HIO, RRL, CM, BBT 

R/R: excited for the weekend! And our blackout dates are over so we are going to Epcot Sunday! Probably to melt our faces off but whatever. 

CS/Q: How long do you guys spot after getting a pap? I went to the gynecologist on Monday and I started having some blood streaks in my CM yesterday. I'm attributing it to the pap but I was a little excited at the thought that my uterus was doing something. 

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?

Home with my family and a beer. 

MotherofDragons

@GrabberBlue2010 that is a brutal schedule. Holy cow! I hope you get a day off soon. What do you do for work? 

jatwal128

@GrabberBlue2010 So sorry you've had to work so much lately. you've been missed around here!

Month/Cycle: 5/5 TTCAL

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, B6, HIO will probably start this weekend. Haven't seen any fertile cm yet so that's annoying

R/R: Welp, today is the baby shower lunch for my coworker and his wife. Just a friendly little reminder of pretty much exactly how i should be looking right now. Silver lining is that we're having it at a really nice steak house, so i'll be very focused on my filet and mac and cheese.

CS/Q:

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?
Casual and relaxing dinner out with a drink or two and then home to relax with the pup and watch a movie.

Hi! Just intro'd so I am jumping in.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, Charting

R/R: I need to get used to temping when I first wake and not the same time like I used to. It's not working this go. 

CS/Q: Nada.

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night? Staying up until 10pm catching up on my shows. I can't hang and 6am comes early.

MotherofDragons

@ElizabethSchuyler it's nice to see your face here!

@businesswife I hope your talk went well with DH!

@grabberblue2010 UGH! I am so sorry for you, that must be so frustrating….do you have at least a day off in sight?

WAYDTGKU:

R/R: It's FRIDAY! 

CS/Q: Nah, not yet.

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?  I am also a homebody, so ordering pizza, watching some good flicks and finishing it with some Froyo - preferably Moose Tracks. 

slam1110

@motherofdragons Fellow Disney goer here! I’m also itching to get there now that we can again!!  Have fun on Sunday!

eggplantface

@firebaby688 Have you done any experimenting to see how getting up to pee affects your temp? I.e., woke up having to pee, temped, peed, then temped again to see what the difference is? I've found the time affects me more than the movement. E.g. I woke up at 4:40 this morning, peed, went back to bed, was woken up by my husband at 4:50 and again at 5:30 when he got up, then my alarm went off at 6 (normal temp time) and my temp was a typical pre-O temp.

Month/Cycle: 2/2 post-myomectomy

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: OPKs (had to order more Wondfos, next-day delivery because I saw most of mine are expired, as are all the Wondfo pregnancy tests), BBT, CM checking, PNVs, CoQ10, water water water

R/R: For the second cycle in a row I got an early "peak" reading on my CBAD OPK (I usually O around CD21, and O on CD 17 about once a year). The Wondfo was super white negative. When I ejected the CBAD stick it had just the control line. I think my reader is on the fritz. I didn't get a "high" reading the past three days. And as I said, most of my Wondfos are expired, and the ones I have left worked well last month but I noticed they expire on September 3 (they're the knock-offs Amazon sent by accident), so I ordered more to be delivered tomorrow because I'm not sure who to trust anymore!



But I do trust my CM, and, believe me, that ish ain't gettin' anyone pregnant right now.

CS/Q: I don't know if the above was a question or not, but if anyone wants to give comments I'm game.

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night? 
I remember when it used to be hanging out with my friends, getting wasted at a bar, and making bad decisions that we'd laugh about the next day as we nursed hangovers.

Now I gorge on pizza while catching up on GH and go to bed at 9pm. #lifegoals

AliciaGoose

@GrabberBlue2010 Omg! That is way too many weeks without a days off. Damn girl. I would be burnt out.

@jatwal128 Ugh, hugs. I know that can't be easy. Enjoy your steak!

Month/Cycle: (7/6) 2/2 TTCAL

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, RRLT, Coq10, HIO every other day for now. Will start OPKs when I get some good CM.

R/R: None

CS/Q: Nadda

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?
Going out to dinner with DH to decompress after a long week, walking around the mall, grabbing some yummy dessert, and then heading home to watch netflix of play games!

laurad75

Month/Cycle: 4/5

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: OMG- all the things: temping, pnv, epo, preseed (I don't care for it but i don't seem to be producing much CM), opk CBDA-high readings the past 6 mornings and afternoon wondfo - finally saw a line last night.  We've been HIO almost ED since AF has been over and I'm so tired.  And I took clomid this cycle.  

R/R: I have a 7 mile race on Sunday that I wish I was more prepared for. 

CS/Q: I used to go straight to the bathroom after sex to 'clean up' but I don't know if that is ideal for TTC.  I know there are weird post BD positions that are supposedly helpful but it all seems a little old wives tale to me.  Thoughts? 

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?  I love pizza for friday night dinner and then going to bed early.  Pizza and sleep are pretty much my favorites.

WAYDTGKU: All the things + Metformin.

R/R: Thanks for all the support yesterday guys, you rock. I'm way better today, other than the slight hangover lol

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?  Bad Netflix and good pizza on the couch with H and my cats.

There's no evidence that shows you have to lie down or elevate your hips or do anything after sex to "keep the sperm in." The sperm are on their way to the cervix within seconds of ejaculation and gravity does not pull them down or make them go the wrong way. Check out "The Great Sperm Race" on YouTube, it's about an hour long and is very informative. As for positions, yes, it's all just conjecture. Any position could get you pregnant as long as semen is ejaculated into the vagina. Assuming you have the fertile CM. It's all in the video

And because it's one my favorite scenes and is relevant:

tripledaggerWed95976

Addition to my earlier post:
im only on CD 8 and I got a positive OPK this morning-- so wierd.  I usually get a positive on CD 10 and then ovulate on CD 11 or 12... Ugh I hate when my cycle gets confusing!!!!

PolarBear517

Month/Cycle:  1/1

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: OPKs temping, just trying to figure out my cycle at first

R/R: Rant: Stupid steady climbing temps! This is going to make it difficult to figure things out. I momentarily took out my OPK info and sure enough FF gave me dotted CH at CD 8! (I put the OPK results back in after). So I think there's a possibility I missed the surge only testing once per day and usually before noon. But I'm 95% certain I just haven't ovulated yet. Hopefully next week! 

Rave: My vacation starts today and I'm kicking it off at the salon as we speak getting a much needed cut and color treatment! 

CS/Q: No real questions.... Though chart is linked, feel free to stalk & give me your opinion on CD 8/9 temp shift trying to avoid Google I already think I'm BSC cycle one! 

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?
I think I would get a mani/pedi and go out to dinner with my best friend then meet up with DH for drinks. I haven't had enough time with my friends lately, second shift paired with grad school is a real social life killer & DH has been my first priority for free time

WAYDTGKU: waiting for af to leave

R/R: Looking forward to the weekend because we have no plans!

CS/Q: Nothing today 

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?

I like going to dinner and then coming home to watch a show with some snacks

magnolia131

Month/Cycle: 20/11

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: everything I can to lose weight, more vitamins/teas than I feel like listing, charting/temping 

R/R: I was going to start the wondfo OPKs today but CM/CP says otherwise. DH may be in town now after all this cycle when I O (that's assuming I O at all this cycle). So that gives me some small hope that I'm not totally out this month, although we are still waiting on results for several tests and any efforts to BD on our part may still be useless for all I know. I'm really busy today and trying not to bump because I don't get as much done. I'll check back in tonight for replies and what not. 

CS/Q:

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night? Takeout (pizza, Chinese, or Indian for us) and Netflix. I'm way too exhausted on Fridays to go out and deal with crowds. 

laurad75

Thank you @eggplantface.  Funny - I just watched the Great Sperm Race and it is what prompted my questions.  They really don't talk about how long all of that takes and with the dramatization of it all it looks like it takes a lot longer for the sperm to get where its going.  Thanks again!

klstone25

@GrabberBlue2010 That work schedule sounds brutal. Hope you get a day off soon.

@ElizabethSchuyler  Welcome! 

@jatwal128  Thinking of you today. I know it can't be easy. Enjoy that filet and mac and cheese.

Month/Cycle: 14/12

CD:15

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, OPK, Preseed, HIO

R/R: Third day of blinky smiley on the OPK. HIO has been going strong all week. Just hoping I O before I leave for New Orleans on Sunday.  I'm going to a work conference and then to see family in the area for a few days afterwards. DH will have to fend for himself for 10 days. Who knows what I'm going to come home to?! LOL

CS/Q:

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night? Sweat pants, take out, my couch and Netflix

And p.s. I can't believe I missed an opportunity to reference the Butt Baby thread. Because you could have a butt baby. https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/comment/84631625

And come to think of it, I had questions after the video too! I asked my doctor (gyno) and she goes "it takes DAYS to get to the fallopian tube" but I've also read that fast swimmers can take just 30 minutes. But once it's in the vagina they're immediately on their way...to the killing fields.

ETA: I forgot to mention I think my gyno is mistaken or at least exaggerating/generalizing and I haven't asked my RE about it. If I end up having to see him again I'll ask!

klstone25

@eggplantface I love that you referenced the butt baby thread. haha

GrabberBlue2010

@BusinessWife - aaannnnddd now I want whipped cream again. I did not have any yet... hmmm.. LOL girl get that jog in. If you do I will move you up to an A. hehe
@MotherofDragons - I am a manager at a hotel. When we are short staffed, guess who gets the short end of the stick? I am basically running on fumes at this point.
@jatwal128 - omg I miss you guys so much! I hate not having time to be on here. I feel like a part of me is missing
@slam1110 - Nope not anymore! I did hire someone and she starts training today. She seems like she could cath on quick. If so, I might have about 3 more weeks of this.

MotherofDragons

@eggplantface it warms my heart that the butt baby thread is still around. 

[Deleted User]

@eggplantface  Thanks for linking the thread!  I was wondering where all that came from!?!  lol

laurad75

@eggplantface OMG. I'm only halfway through the thread but it is gold!  

The whole timing of everything is kind of confusing.  How long do the sperm get to hang out on that paradise boat with all the food?  

adirat

Another banner day in WTO today! Hi everyone! And I want to offer my internet hugs and support to everyone involved in or upset by yesterday's horrible drive-by. That woman was literally THE WORST and I am so relieved the community came out against her. Ignore her and her hateful attitude toward not being the most special of snowflakes. She isn't worth it. HUGS.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: The usuals.

R/R: After being dry, today I have both EWCM and lubricative feeling! It grosses me out to say phrases like "lubricative feeling" but I know it's FW because it sure isn't my office chair or email inbox getting me going...

Also, thank you all for being a place where I can gleefully post "I have EWCM and lubricative feeling"! Even DH doesn't want to hear about my mucus. ha.

CS/Q:

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?

We love to do takeout and TV on Friday nights -- we both are the kind to want to decompress from the week on Friday. Tonight we are going out to a fancy dinner and seeing School of Rock on Broadway, though, which I like on occasion too.

adirat

OMG the butt baby thread is amazing. I am on a conference call right now! I had to mute myself but I think some laughter got through! Thank you for sharing.

PolarBear517

@GrabberBlue2010 no day off SUCKS! I feel exhausted after just a week and a half of no day off hoping your schedule clears up soon! 

@eggplantface hahaha I'm so glad you linked that butt baby thread! I laughed out loud

WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPK

R/R: My coworker is leaving next week, so I will have to work a later shift which I hate!!  I hope my boss finds someone to replace her soon so I can have my shift back 

CS/Q: I just started using my OPK yesterday, and I had a faint line next to the control line.  So, I know that means negative... however, since I'm new to OPKing I just want to clarify something.  Should I expect a faint line every time I check, and the line will just get darker to indicate I am about to O?  Or could it just be random.... like sometimes I'll get a faint line and sometimes I'll get nothing?

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night? Probably a walk around my neighbourhood with my hubby, drinking wine on our front porch (in my rocking chair!), and then who knows what happens next?

R/R: Same as yesterday - still no high reading or CM 

CS/Q: -

GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?

Takeout on the sofa with a good movie, a glass of something tasty, my husband beside me and my dog at my feet. I'm a simple woman!

@eggplantface I was having a bad day, but "My husband wants to know if you're pooping on the pregnancy test?" has made me shake with laughter for about 10 minutes, so thank you for sharing that thread!

eggplantface

@Mother0fDragons Butt Baby will never be gone. Not as long as those who remain are loyal to it.



ETA: @MrsJennaSheppard03 In my experience the line is always pretty faint or almost non-existent (when negative), and I'll get the faint lines day after day after day thinking I'll never see a positive test and maybe my tests are bad. Until one day I actually surge and I see the glaring positive and wonder why I ever questioned the test in the first place. But also bear in mind that some women never get a positive test and DO ovulate, so that's just my experience and everyone is different.

I may have to post and ghost today, my day at work is nuts, but i'll try to get on tonight to read through everything...

Month/Cycle: 1 (after 7 NTNP) 
 
CD: 19
 
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT, checking CM, HIO EOD
 
R/R: In-laws are in town this weekend so that's cool.  Have to move my desk at work today, which is super annoying.  I don't have much else.  I'm tired.
 
CS/Q: Last night was the third instance of EOD and DH is already complaining about it.  I hope this happens quickly, we're both too tired these days to keep this up.  God bless those of you who have been doing this for months and months and months!  I should ovulate here in the next few days, so at least we will get a reprieve for a few weeks.
 
GTKY:  What's your ideal Friday night?  Sleep.  All of the sleep.  Maybe Chinese food?  And wine.  And sleep.
