Re: WTO Thursday
Good morning!!!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 14... my body is saying I either ovulated yesterday or today but the OPKs are telling a different story. CM is still wet so I am going to hang out with you madies in WTO for a bit longer.
WAYDTGKU: pnv, opks, cm
R/R: Rant: 3 hr staff meeting today...really is a 3 hr meeting ever necessary? Rave: potluck at work today!!! And after today things *should* start to quiet down.
CS/Q: I got nothing related to TTC, but I can't seem to gif on my phone? Any suggestions?
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: BBT, charting, PNVs
R/R: Rant-It is SO COLD here today. I'm still laying in bed because I'm dreading taking the covers off. Rave-Only two more days until the weekend. This week has gone by so slowly.
CS/Q: nope
I still want to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Big Harry Potter fan right here.
@LadyMeowMeow that movie definitely does not interest me either. I'm sorry it's so cold! Since moving south, I have quite forgotten the cold temps. I'm in for a rude awakening when we go back to Chicago for Xmas .
@beachbunnyxo123 yay for moving over to TWW. Hope we join you soon
@jess0211 yay for Potluck!
Month/Cycle: 2/2 (after resuming O from IUD)
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: all things possible
R/R: DH and I got into a fight this morning. He doesn't understand the science behind TTC. He didn't want to BD last night (even though we spent 1.5 hours at his favorite outdoors store so he could pick out his Christmas gift and he was in a GREAT mood) when I tried to get him to BD this morning he hesitated saying he would be late for work (even though he overslept 55 minutes past his alarm.. I think @FLAshley has this problem if I remember right) Which infuriated me. He keeps throwing it in my face that I don't know when O is. I keep trying to explain that no, I don't know beforehand. I can only use the clues my body gives me and verify it after the fact. Needless to say no BD, one crying wife and one pissed off husband rushing to work. I'm sure we've allllll been there at some point, I even asked him if he wanted to take it off the table because I don't think he's putting in a valiant effort. He said no, but I really wish he could understand the agony we go through temping, tracking POAS. Especially those of us with irregular cycles or coming off BC, even non hormonal Paraguard. F the CopperIUD.. FML.
CS/Q: Just waiting to O. Most of the fertile signs, and some constant tenderness on my right side. Not sharp pain yet. Anyone get tenderness and pain later?

@jess0211 Sorry for the ridiculously long staff meeting
@LadyMeowMeow It's cold here too. Right now it's -4 and it's only supposed to get up to 7. FX my office is warmer than it was yesterday.
Month/Cycle: 4/4 1 TTCAL
CD: 10
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs (CBAD and Wondfo), HIO ED-EOD during FW
R/R: Well I was going to rave about how I made 100 orange cranberry cookies last night BUT I got a flashy smiley face on CBAD this morning *happy dance all around the house*! Last month I had an unusually long cycle and didn't get one until CD14 and then didn't get a solid smiley until CD19. If that happened this month O was probably going to coincide with Christmas/the 26th. The 24th we're at my parents house (HIO not impossible but awkward) and then the afternoon of Christmas I leave for San Francisco to visit my sister. Wondfos are still super negative but at least we know that my estrogen levels are acting like I'm going to ovulate.

R/R: I'm going to have a delicious dinner with one of our vendors tonight. It'll probably be only slightly less awkward than the holiday party last week, but hey, at least there was good food at both! I need to blow this popsicle stand asap.
CS/Q: Nope. All signs point to O'ing any day now
We just watched Lucky Number Slevin. Actually, it was pretty good.
@LadyMeowMeow I am right there with you with Fantastic Beasts. I'm actually angry at DH that he hasn't taken me yet. We were supposed to go the night it came out.
@Flinstone Sorry about your fight. I think the vast majority of us have had that same "discussion." As many times as we tell our H's, they sometimes just don't get that we can't possibly know when we will O (oh yes, my right ovary is telling me I will O at 9:56am on December 15th). Ridiculous!

We see A LOT of movies, especially this time of the year (hello Oscar contenders!). The most recent was Manchester by the sea. Brilliant movie. Horribly sad, yet very funny. Highly recommend.

R/R: Work is finally starting to simmer down for me but ramping up for H. I have some family members who are currently pregnant and I'm a little depressed over it (mostly jealous it's not me), but also annoyed that one of them thinks no one else should be pregnant or be trying at all during HER pregnancy. So currently hoping I can make it through the holidays without throats punching someone.
CS/Q: Nothing just yet. I'm a newbie so let's see how this first cycle goes.
Hmmmm probably Frozen for the 50th time. Yes I like it but it also keeps the members of my family happy!

R/R: More snow !!! It has snowed here everyday for like 2 or 3 weeks. I'm SO over it !!! We are suppose to get a storm tonight which will screw my day. The only day I have to fill is my Sunday which is my day off. Thank god the 23rd is getting closer !!!
CS/Q: Looking like I will get CHs tomorrow which would mean I O'd on the 13th. Earliest O yet. It's usually the 16th-17th. We weren't using OPKs or checking CM or CP - taking the relaxed approach so that would mean we BD'd the three days leading up until O but missed O. I know it's still good but would be better if we hit O. I said I'm not stressing this month .... so I'm not ...... (ya frikken right) !!! Also this should have been more of a R/R but I felt like putting it here - so I did.
I can't even remember the last movie I watched but I watch a ton of Christmas movies and I always love them even though they are cheesy and usually very predictable.
@jess0211 Enjoy your potluck !!
@beachbunnyxo123 GL in the TWW lady !!
@Flinstone Yup ! That was me ! We actually missed O because DH couldn't wake up ! But after I talked to him through the tears he finally did smarten up a bit so I let it pass because he started feeding the horses every morning after the big blow up. Sometimes I wonder if they just don't understand, reading between the lines doesn't work and we actually have to get pissed in order for it to sink in.
@JuneRoseRuby Positive vibes are the best ! Your a good friend. I hope she is holding up okay.

R/R: @Flinstone Similar situation to your husband -- the last two nights DH has declined any BD because he ate too much/had a stomach ache from too much dairy. Seriously? My face, both times, was literally the Justin Timberlake gif. I try really hard not to get on him because I don't want to cause performance anxiety or make it a chore, but two nights in a row? I don't want to hear, AGAIN, that you ate too much mozzarella!

@zwink1 We were going to go see Fantastic Beasts but realized it was Black Friday and the theater would probably be a madhouse. Hoping we can see it sometime over my winter break. Is it still in theaters?!
@JulesDP YAY EWCM!!! I haven't seen any since I got off BC, so I understand how exciting this is! And glad you survived the frigid walk today
@lablover920 Yes! The cold wouldn't be so bad if the wind weren't so crazy.

R/R: This month has had the longest lead up to my LH surge... My OPK today was so nearly positive that I marked it just in case. That's 3 days in a row of -almost- positives. Hoping tomorrow gives my normal obvious positive. Guess I'm not Oing as early as I thought, but it'll still be earlier for me if it's before CD 20!
CS/Q:
Hmm I can't even remember, but I can't wait to see The Girl on the Train, the book was awesome.
@ladymeowmeow @zwink1 I saw Fantastic Beasts over Thanksgiving. It was super entertaining and I enjoyed it but I didn’t like it nearly as much as the HP films.
@flinstone I’m sorry about that fight with H. It can be so frustrating when our partners don’t seem as dedicated to TTC as we do. I definitely have those moments too and I can’t help but feel hurt when I have to beg H for sex.
Regarding CBAD – They aren’t for everyone since they measure estrogen level and then LH. I often have a relatively high estrogen level so I might get blinking smileys for two weeks before my LH surge. MY RE office suggested regular CB OPKs to avoid confusion. I also find that generic CVS brand work just fine but I like seeing the smiley face so I use them all.
@bertiemeetsgertie I definitely want to see Manchester by the Sea. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
@julesDP We watched Love Actually over the wknd. H had never seen the whole thing. Its such a nice movie. Did you do anything different this cycle to get EWCM?
@jillibean0871 Wait. What? You have a family member who thinks she should be the only pregnant woman? Please share how she told you this. Also Pregnant Women are Smug
@linzrunz I love the painting nights. H and I went together a couple of months ago and he really liked it. It was right after the election and he was feeling very angry and anxious but it had a significant calming effect on him. Our paintings are terrible but it was really fun.

I think we are nearly done christmas shopping but I have nothing wrapped or any where near a mail box so presents might be late this year.
CS/Q: nope, very neg OPK this morning... OK body we've had the talk you didn't want to O early this cycle so hold on to that egg and O late please.
@beachbunnyxo123 congrats on the CH!
@keriann323 those are some good raves!
@BertieMeetsGertie I could go either way. with your secondary signs O looks like yesterday, but you do have a temp shift starting teusday. though teusdays temp is not out of the range of your pre-O temps... so I would probably lean towards yesterday
@juneroseruby I LOVE GG!
@virginiaham I responded well to lower doses.... Everyone is different. Fx for your follie scan.

R/R: I saw a new (to me, we moved earlier this year) midwives group this morning, since I needed a well woman checkup. I really like the midwife, but she very gently but bluntly told me to lose weight so I don't have gestational diabetes. The weight is obviously something I'm aware of, I gained a bunch from stress related stuff after losing all the weight from my previous pregnancy. On the very plus side, she's being proactive about ways we can try to get an issue with my episiotomy fixed, so yay!
CS/Q: FF is confused by my temps right now. I posted it on the CS thread yesterday, but after playing with the temps, it gave me a Y axis only red CH. Which was weird. FF yelled at me this morning and said it was taking away my half CH bc it couldn't figure out my chart. I think O was yesterday, but we'll see. DH half heartedly complained about HIO after seeing our personal trainer last night, but he's totally into it.
In a theater? Moana! It was really cute. DH and I have an undying love for Disney movies, so yeah.. we liked it. At home, I've got the Martian in the DVD player, which is an awesome movie.

Rant: Woke up at 2:45am today and foolishly looked at my phone. Tossed and turned for a few hours, but I think I got some sleep in there. Not as bad as before, but the only time this week so far, so can't complain too much.
CS/Q: I am wondering if I will O on CD 12 or if really my cycle didn't move given the CP. I should have started my cycle on December 4, but had brown spotting and got my positive test. Then the red started the next day. Do you think it is more likely that I will O a cycle day earlier or if my cycle is continuing on like normal? But until I confirm O, I guess I won't know.
ETA: forgot to add response to this:
We just watched "Yes Man" with Jim Carey the other night since it was on TV. I think it is pretty funny overall.
She has since backed off a bit, but I suspect this will rear its ugly head again around Christmas...
Month/Cycle: 5/6
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: I dunno.... see R/R
R/R: I'm sure most of you saw this in the WTF thread yesterday, or in the IF thread, but DH's SA results were not good (see siggy). I'm messaging back and forth with my OB to see if we need to schedule a urology appointment for DH. Of course there's only one urologist in Bismarck, and no REs. We don't want to do a IUI right away (like my OB suggested).
In the meantime, he's planning to quit smoking after this weekend. And, I'm pretty sure I'm going to order FH Pro for him.... which may or may not be a waste of money, but worth a shot. We had also already planned to clean up our diet soon anyway, so that can't hurt. At this point I think we'll try the smoking cessation, vitamins, less caffeine & alcohol, and better diet for 3 months, and then get a repeat SA to see where he's at.
DH isn't sure he wants to continue TTC with his impaired sperm. I think he's afraid if he got me KU the baby would have issues.... I'm not sure how valid that fear is. So, we may NTNP for a couple months.
THE GOOD NEWS: I'm glad we went ahead and had DHs SA. Now he's committed to a better lifestyle (hopefully he'll STAY committed), and we aren't pointlessly HIO like crazy every cycle without realizing that we only have a 1-3% chance.
CS/Q: Anyone have any experience with FertileAid for men or FH Pro?

@jess0211 Geez, I can't imagine a 3 hour meeting really being necessary or even all that productive!
@LadyMeowMeow YES this week has gone by slowly. And, DH and I are more netflix bingers than movie watchers, too.
@Flinstone hard eye-roll to your DH. I'd be so annoyed at him.

@adirat uuuuuuuugh to your DH. If it were me, I'd totally be the annoying wife tonight and be like "don't eat too much for dinner, shmoopiepoo! You don't want a stomach ache like the last two nights!"
@laurad75 I hate it when my tracker stops working (or I leave it charging at home)! It's almost like the steps don't count if I don't have my tracker to document them lol.
@wabash15 EW to cracked foundation and having it repaired in -5 temps! FX your O date cooperates and waits until after the SA!
