R/R: I hate winter- I hate the short days and lack of light, I hate the cold, I hate the dead- but this winter is bullshit. If its gonna be cold and dead looking, I want some freaking SNOW. At least its pretty and maybe I can call out of work. This 40 degree cold, but not cold enough, shit is awful.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why?
The sound of rain on the roof. My grandma had a lake house we would often go to- it was a log cabin type house with all these sky-lights so when it would rain (as it does in the south every day during the summer between 3 and 5 PM) you would hear the tinkling and it brings me right back. I love it.
@kiwi2628 Good morning! I also hate winter. I'm not sure why I love where I do. Probably because I also hate large bugs. Lesser of two evils and all.
Month/Cycle: 15/14
CD: 30...
WAYDTGKU: all of the stuff.
R/R: I'm trying hard to not be annoyed by work stuff since I'm looking for a new job anyway, but they just keep doing ridiculous things. The list of stupid was looonnnggg yesterday, but perhaps the most asinine was telling my co-worker she doesn't engage with them enough... Among a long list of other crappy behavior, not one of them contributed to her office gift (*tw she's eight and a half months pregnant /tw*)
CS/Q: No, I'm just drifting along here hoping to O sometime in the next century.
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? The smell of fresh grass and trees, and "What a Wonderful World." My grandparents lived on 5 acres and I spent weeks at a time at their house growing up. My grandma and I used to listen to "What a Wonderful World" while I fell asleep. This is making me sad and nostalgic. Can I go back? I want a do over!
R/R: Remember yesterday how I had that lifestyle shoot. Guess what I get to edit today? sigh....
CS/Q: nothing yet, waiting on a dip and some good ole EWCM...
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? My girls dance to music at the studio from my childhood sometimes for warmups or a teacher will bring back an oldie but goodie ( shes my age)...That always brings me back. As for a smell, Angel perfume. My mom used to wear it. She doesn't anymore, but when I smell it, it reminds me of her old bedroom, and snuggling with her watching a movie and eating all the junk food
WAYDTGKU: back to doing everything - BBT, OPK, CM, CP, PNV, Magnesium, EPO, vitamin D3, green tea, limiting caffeine, myo-inositol
R/R: I know it's only CD2 but this cycle already feels different somehow. I'm slightly hopeful and am afraid that it's all going to be for nothing. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see
CS/Q: nope!
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? I can't think of anything quite as specific as others have described so far

WAYDTGKU: testing and HIO soon
R/R: 1. I mentioned this in weekly randoms, but my regular OBGYN was in the RE this morning as a patient. I couldn't believe it. It almost made me feel bad that I was going to her about potential IF stuff (even though I know this is her job) but I wonder if that's why she was so willing to help me sooner than 12 months. Just goes to show, you never know what people are going through. 2. CD 3 testing with this morning, and of course they had to use my hand for bloodwork because they can never find my veins! This is always an issue, ugh. But the ultrasound was normal and she said everything looked good.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why?
Madonna's "Vogue" - my mom used to love this song and tell me it was "our song". I used to think everyone got assigned a song, and that was ours!
WAYDTGKU: One more month of the 'relaxed' approach.
R/R: Its my day off with DF ! 9:30am one of my clients comes to the door with his dog. He knocked and stayed in our yard for a ridiculous amount of time. I didn't even go to the door because his appointment was DECEMBER 7th !!!!! People are so annoying. Oh well, off to enjoy my day with my love.

GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? My Grandmother always had this baby powder in this hard pink plastic container. It had a different scent. I never smell it but if I think about the smell it takes me back !!!

@kiwi2628 I love winter but I'm still right there with you on the snow. It seems like whenever the weather decides to precipitate, it happens on a day too warm to snow! Why!!!
@zwink1 FX you get a new job soon, that place sounds awful. What a sweet memory to have associated with that song!
@canonmom413 So cute your girls dance to songs you used to listen to. Isn't it amazing how smells can trigger so many feelings and memories?
@hartmich So glad everything looked good at your U/S! And that's such a cute memory, reminds me a little of this week's episode of This Is Us
Month/Cycle: 1/1

WAYDTGKU: PNV, fish oil, OPK (I see myself becoming a POAS addict, yikes), the littlest of caffeine.
R/R: Rant: Still in pain from my wisdom teeth surgery. I feel like I'm being such a baby about it because this is something most people already went through in high school/college. But it hurts! Rave: My husband's been so so sweet about the whole thing, and I get another day at home to laze around and snuggle my cat. He's so funny and I'm so obsessed with him.
CS/Q: I've looked up a ton of CM stuff and tried to compare it to me but I can't seem to get it right or figure out what's happening with me so I keep not recording it. But, I'll leave the chart link here just in case anyone has any pointers? I don't have specific questions, just wondering if anyone seems something. If this is better off in the Weekly Chart Stalk, I'll move it there. https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6965f9
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? My mom wears lots of bracelets and the sound of bracelets clanging together reminds me of her moving around our house when I was young.

CS/Q: no much to stalk
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? small birds singing, and rain on the roof or balsam fir pillows. I spent my summers in the Adirondack mountains and anything that reminds me of the woods brings me back to that magical time
@kiwi2628 I agree if it has to be cold there might as well be snow on the ground
@zwink1 sorry your still here. Ihope you find a new job soon
@lulu1180 fx so hard this cycle is different for you

R/R: work has been so flipping busy. As in I already have put in over 40 hours this week. On the plus side, that means it's gone by stupid fast. Can't wait for the weekend.
I saw some of the chatter yesterday about non Zika places and as a Phoenician I'd have to also recommend the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Our "winter" looks to be ending and well be back in the 70s starting next week. There are resorts here that will rival any beach resort.
CS/Q: none
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? My grandma's back porch steps. We would sit there and wait for the pool to "open" at 9am and then again after lunch for our obligatory 30 minute wait so you don't drown after eating time. As an adult, Ive come to realize those hold periods were just so she could get stuff done without 6 grandkids in the pool all day every day all summer
WAYDTGKU: Everything... except maybe not the Healthy Cycle tea anymore...
R/R: Had an excellent BD session last night... and spent some nice quality time talking about stuff with DH. It was really nice . No rants... except still waiting for O.
CS/Q: You GUYZ..... I got a positive OPK this AM!!!
Sooo... starting to wonder if the tea is causing (or aiding) my delayed O. Didn't drink it yesterday and got the positive OPK this am... coincidence.... most likely... but I'm a what-if kind of person.
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? I used to spend time at my grandma's in the summer as a kid. I remember how the quiet humid mornings felt and smelled, and how you could hear the birds singing and the owl hoot in the distance. She had a sliding glass door off the kitchen she'd leave open and she'd sit and read the newspaper on the screened-in porch. Now sometimes I'll smell and feel humid summer mornings and I'm brought right back. It's so bittersweet- I smile because I remember.. and at the same time, I'm sad because I miss her (She passed when I was 17).
Also- My dad is a Trekkie. When I was a kid, Star Trek the Next Generation came on around 7 pm. To this day, I still equate the show's opening theme song to dinner time
@kiwi2628 – I’m totally on board with cold should mean snow.
I love snow, but I’m missing it this year! The temps are so up and down around
here (nearly 60 today). I’m just ready for it to be spring at this point and we
can try again next winter.
@zwink1 – Sorry you’re having such a hard time at work! FX
you’re out of there soon.
@canonmom413 – GL editing today! Hopefully it’s not too much
of a hassle for you
@lulu1180 – There is nothing wrong with going into a cycle
with a positive attitude! FX this is your cycle.
@hartmich – Congrats on the good news from the RE! It’s so
crazy you saw your OBGYN there. It must be comforting to know she really
understands what you’re going through.
@ag90 – Sending healing thoughts! It’s awesome that YH is
being so supportive and wonderful to you
@wabash15 – Hugs for CD1! Congrats on starting the next leg
of your TTC journey (as bitter sweet as it must be). Good luck!

its way
@crazypuglady – Congrats on the positive OPK! Now HIO!
-----
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: HIO EOD, tracking CM, symptoms, BBT
R/R: I am so optimistic for this cycle. After my last cycle lasting only 26
days, I feel like I’m over the hump of “getting back into rhythm” after BCP.
Now that I’m temping and being diligent with my symptom tracking (instead of
BSC), I finally feel like I’m in control. This can happen!
CS/Q: not yet but I’m sure something will come up in the next 5 days
GTKY: I have an unhealthy nostalgia attached to Christmas. My mom and I would
bake dozens and dozens of cookies that we only make at Christmas. I have these VHS taped TV specials from the
80s that I still watch. There are 2 or 3 specific Christmas CDs (Billy Gilman
anyone?) that I have to listen to. Whenever any of those show back up, I feel
like a kid again.
@cactusblossum -YES to the pool thing! My grandma was crazy about that! LOL We would sit on the side of the pool and slowly try to ease back in.. and she would yell at us and tell us to get out because we would get cramps and die LOL. You know inside she was like "For the love of God children! Let me have a minute!"
@LoveInDC: FX your cycles are regulated post BC....I am not so convince my body has gone back to normal, but I guess this AF might give me a better idea.
@crazypuglady It's so hard to tell with some teas and supplements. The one cycle I drank RRL consistently, I had O 2 days earlier. Didn't drink it last cycle and it went back to my normal CD 13.
@cactusblossum Boo for having to work so much! Hopefully it slows down soon.
@wabash15: Hey, we are cycle day buddies at the moment! FX that the medicated cycles and IUI are a success!
kiwi2628 I hate all things winter. The cold, the shorter days and especially the snow (sorry, I know others like it). It just snowed this morning and I want it gone. It's pretty and it should stay in the mountains, lol.
@hartmich It so true that we never know other people's stories. I work in an environment with lots of kids and almost all of my co-workers have children. Sometimes, they will make comments like, "if you had kids you would understand." And while there may be some truth to that, I want to say, "F*** it's not like I don't want them." Sorry, end tangent.
Month/Cycle: 4/5 3 TTCAL
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: Pom juice (why not), temping, PNV...waiting until after AF to start HIO and OPKs
R/R: Ok, I apologize in advance, this may be long, ranty and have a few TWs.....
Last night, I had some spotting (which has not happened during my LP), so I had a feeling I was out. I also have had terrible cramps and sore boobs (haven't had either leading up to AF for the past 3 cycles). But then I woke up this morning to temp, and it was still above cover line, so I was optimistic. I went to the restroom and....well AF had definitely shown up. What's a bit concerning (TMI) is that there is lots of dark red clotting. I am hoping that's a sign that I will have a heavier, more normal period compared to my past 4 that were very light and only two days, but I don't know.
*****TW***** I am also just bummed because tomorrow should have marked week 10 and I for some reason had the stupid idea that maybe we would be successful in the 2 cycles following my CP. There are a few people I know who are conceived around the same time I did and are hitting milestones I thought I would, and I just feel a little depressed. I know we haven't been trying very long, but I just didn't realize that our TTC journey would start on such a heartbreaking note. But, I am going to try to be optimistic and hope my body is going back to normal with each cycle. ***TW***
CS/Q: nothing
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why?
Chlorine, anywhere I smell it, reminds me of swimming and my childhood. We used to spend our summers in California and would go swimming a lot. The smell of pools always makes me happy, even though I don't really enjoy swimming now.
R/R: So I have bad teeth. They're not strong and if I have a cavity, if it isn't fixed in 3 months it irreparable. Last night I bit into a bun (a soft, yummy bun) and one of my teeth shattered. What the heck, teeth? Why must you do that.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? Wood burning stoves. Every time I smell that I think of our cabin with my parents and the fires we'd have inside, or the big bon fires we'd have outside. I love it.
@dragonfly87 hey cycle buddy! I'm sending you big hugs. Loss sucks. TW*** My boss outed my 1st pregnancy to the whole staff and then a few weeks later we had the MC, well there was another staff member who was also KTFU and had her kid within 2 weeks of my EDD, it sucked to watch her progress and think that should be me, I should look like that, I should have a little one... I know its hard but try to focus on you, compairison only breaks your heart. You will get there. End TW big hugs.
@Dilynne ugg that sucks!! I too have bad teeth so I feel your pain but shattering a tooth on a soft yummy bun is just adding insult to injury!

R/R: I think I had ovulation pain this morning. My right side had a sharp pain. We DTD last night, so that would be good timing. My temp is normal and I'll take an OPK in a few hours to see what it says. I was so irritable last night I screamed at a video game and then went to my bed to cry. XD I have to laugh at myself.
CS/Q: Nothing. My temps were erratic leading me to believe that I was back to anovulatory cycles but they've straightened out so now I'm hopeful.
GTKY: So many. I am very much a sensory memory kind of person.
Certain tree smells, the sound of cicadas, and certain songs (Spice Girls, You'll Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carrey, anything Boyz II Men and some country songs) put me right back in the house I grew up in.
And then there's certain video games that put my back to my pre-teen years.
Certain songs and beverages and foods put me back at high school.
Just so much stuff.

CS/Q:
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? Hmmm, damp woods and wood burning stoves remind me of visiting extended family at a cabin in Wisconsin. The song Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" brings me back to me and my sister choreographing a dance to it in our living room lol.
@LuND I loved the first season of that show, but then she became so lazy and unhealthy and everyone around her enabled her behavior. But ive seen the previews and it's making me want to watch the show even less...
@lulu1180 FX this cycle IS different in a good way!
@kiwi2628 I agree that cold temps and crappy, dead landscape seems stupid without snow. And I prefer that, if it's going to snow, it be enough to get me out of work!
@hartmich Hey cycle buddy! It's so crazy that your obgyn is an RE patient. I mean, obviously it's not beyond the realm of possibility, but WOW. I'm glad testing is going smoothly so far - aside from the hand poke. Phlebotomists always THINK I have good veins in my arms, but they look better than they are cuz I'm super pale. So, they poke and prod and give me giant bruises on my arms before either being successful with the arm vein, or moving to my hand.
@wabash15 YAY for starting a medicated cycle and IUI!!!! FX so hard!
@kiwi2628 I agree! I don't want the cold without the snow!
@zwink1 I'm with you, hurry up O! Fingers X it happens for you soon!

GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why?
This is a hard one. There are so many. I was born and raised on a farm and still run a farming operation with my husband and his family. So a lot of my smells have to do with being outdoors and working long days and nights on the farm. Nothing particular. I'll have to think about it some more!
R/R: I've been getting so annoyed at DH lately. Last night after I told him I had to order my trigger shot for next week, he said do you think this was the best cycle to buy that with? And me being extremely confused asked what he was talking about, he said you had a short period so it probably won't work. Which is the same thing he said about me not getting my period "on time" which I never get it the same day anyway?? He's really irritating me with this because I feel like he doesn't want me to do it because he's not ready or something even though when I say that he says he is.....sigh
CS/Q:
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? The smell of chalk and feet like a gym (I know, gross) takes me back to when I was little and did gymnastics.
@lulu1180 yes! I felt the same way going into this cycle. Just strangely hopefully even before I started af. I'm trying to hang onto it because I'm sure that hope will dim later down the road in the cycle.
@ag90 My grandma and I were super close, and I still smile (and tear up a little) every time I hear that song.
This job man, I've never worked with such psychotic people before... Anyway, I hope you're feeling better soon! Wisdom teeth hurt, no need to feel like a baby!
@wabash15 I'm glad you are feeling good about this cycle and FX so hard that the first medicated cycle works for you two!!!
@crazypuglady Not that I want someone else to be dealing with it, but it is nice to have someone share the frustration... I never get any cycle buddies lol. You and I should be sticking together this cycle though, I've had positive opks for the last few days and should O in the next couple of days here...hopefully.
@Dilynne Oh do I hear you on the crappy teeth. I'm so sorry you have a broken one! I have to go back in next Thurs to make sure an infection is clearing and they don't need to do a(nother) root csnal on one of mine. Fx you can get it fixed asap!
Hugs to @wabash15@dragonfly87 because TTCAL is rough. @Dilynne Boo! I hope your time at the dentist is fast and not painful.
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*

@wabash15 and @NYTino24 Thanks ladies for the support and hugs to you as well.
I was at least hoping AF would be normal this month, but she doesn't seem to want to cooperate. It's spotty and light so far...really hoping it changes over the next few days to resemble a normal period though (never thought I would be saying that).
Can I add one more rant for the day? Then I will stop being a negative nancy....
One of my employees just informed me she will be starting her maternity leave 14 days earlier than planned. We do not have a replacement lined up for her while she is out. So I will be taking on her responsibilities while she is gone for 12 weeks and now it's 2 weeks earlier than I anticipated. Today, is going really well so far....
@dragonfly87 so sorry for cd 1. I also have been having really light periods *TW* the lightest one I had was after my CP actually end TW* for what it's worth, my doctor wasn't concerned at all about light periods when I asked (mine are only 2 light days and 2 days of spotting) he said there's nothing you can do to make a period heavier.

Just want to thank everyone for all the kind words and healing wishes! I was pretty active this morning but have been in and out of drowsiness since then and don't have the energy to even do something as simple as respond to threads. But I wanted to let you all know I'm very appreciative!

@dragonfly87 bodies are wierd. My period has been pretty predictable my entire life, Day one medium flow, day two med-light. day three starts off light than stops or some spotting then spotting day 4&5. last cycle day 1 was super light and then spotting till day 6... I even let the BSC creep in and took a HPT. ofcourse BFN. I don't know that I would stress over the flow so much. bodies are weird.

@wabash15@beachbunnyxo123 Thanks for the responses. I probably shouldn't be so paranoid about it and I plan to bring it up to my doctor next month to double check. I guess I am letting myself go BSC and think that maybe a light period means a thin uterine lining which is what I have read happens to women on Mirena for a long time. But, without really knowing what's going on, I shouldn't get too worked up about it.
@cbobell2009 Did I read that right- 5 months and no period? Usually they recommend you see a doctor if you go 60-90 days without a period. I would do that before Vitex. I have heard some sketchy things about it. I think @adirat has some knowledge...

CD: 30...
WAYDTGKU: all of the stuff.
R/R: I'm trying hard to not be annoyed by work stuff since I'm looking for a new job anyway, but they just keep doing ridiculous things. The list of stupid was looonnnggg yesterday, but perhaps the most asinine was telling my co-worker she doesn't engage with them enough... Among a long list of other crappy behavior, not one of them contributed to her office gift (*tw she's eight and a half months pregnant /tw*)
CS/Q: No, I'm just drifting along here hoping to O sometime in the next century.
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why?
The smell of fresh grass and trees, and "What a Wonderful World." My grandparents lived on 5 acres and I spent weeks at a time at their house growing up. My grandma and I used to listen to "What a Wonderful World" while I fell asleep. This is making me sad and nostalgic. Can I go back? I want a do over!

WAYDTGKU: HIO, BBT, PNV, CM, etc
R/R: Remember yesterday how I had that lifestyle shoot. Guess what I get to edit today? sigh....
CS/Q: nothing yet, waiting on a dip and some good ole EWCM...
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why?
My girls dance to music at the studio from my childhood sometimes for warmups or a teacher will bring back an oldie but goodie ( shes my age)...That always brings me back. As for a smell, Angel perfume. My mom used to wear it. She doesn't anymore, but when I smell it, it reminds me of her old bedroom, and snuggling with her watching a movie and eating all the junk food

Month/Cycle: 9/8
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: testing and HIO soon
R/R: 1. I mentioned this in weekly randoms, but my regular OBGYN was in the RE this morning as a patient. I couldn't believe it. It almost made me feel bad that I was going to her about potential IF stuff (even though I know this is her job) but I wonder if that's why she was so willing to help me sooner than 12 months. Just goes to show, you never know what people are going through. 2. CD 3 testing with this morning, and of course they had to use my hand for bloodwork because they can never find my veins! This is always an issue, ugh. But the ultrasound was normal and she said everything looked good.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why?
Madonna's "Vogue" - my mom used to love this song and tell me it was "our song". I used to think everyone got assigned a song, and that was ours!

WAYDTGKU: One more month of the 'relaxed' approach.
R/R: Its my day off with DF ! 9:30am one of my clients comes to the door with his dog. He knocked and stayed in our yard for a ridiculous amount of time. I didn't even go to the door because his appointment was DECEMBER 7th !!!!! People are so annoying. Oh well, off to enjoy my day with my love.

R/R: Rant: Still in pain from my wisdom teeth surgery. I feel like I'm being such a baby about it because this is something most people already went through in high school/college. But it hurts! Rave: My husband's been so so sweet about the whole thing, and I get another day at home to laze around and snuggle my cat. He's so funny and I'm so obsessed with him.
CS/Q: I've looked up a ton of CM stuff and tried to compare it to me but I can't seem to get it right or figure out what's happening with me so I keep not recording it.

If this is better off in the Weekly Chart Stalk, I'll move it there. https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6965f9

CS/Q: no much to stalk
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? small birds singing, and rain on the roof or balsam fir pillows. I spent my summers in the Adirondack mountains and anything that reminds me of the woods brings me back to that magical time
@kiwi2628 I agree if it has to be cold there might as well be snow on the ground

My grandma's back porch steps. We would sit there and wait for the pool to "open" at 9am and then again after lunch for our obligatory 30 minute wait so you don't drown after eating time. As an adult, Ive come to realize those hold periods were just so she could get stuff done without 6 grandkids in the pool all day every day all summer

Sooo... starting to wonder if the tea is causing (or aiding) my delayed O. Didn't drink it yesterday and got the positive OPK this am... coincidence.... most likely... but I'm a what-if kind of person.
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why?
I used to spend time at my grandma's in the summer as a kid. I remember how the quiet humid mornings felt and smelled, and how you could hear the birds singing and the owl hoot in the distance. She had a sliding glass door off the kitchen she'd leave open and she'd sit and read the newspaper on the screened-in porch. Now sometimes I'll smell and feel humid summer mornings and I'm brought right back. It's so bittersweet- I smile because I remember.. and at the same time, I'm sad because I miss her (She passed when I was 17).
Also- My dad is a Trekkie. When I was a kid, Star Trek the Next Generation came on around 7 pm. To this day, I still equate the show's opening theme song to dinner time

@kiwi2628 – I’m totally on board with cold should mean snow. I love snow, but I’m missing it this year! The temps are so up and down around here (nearly 60 today). I’m just ready for it to be spring at this point and we can try again next winter.
@zwink1 – Sorry you’re having such a hard time at work! FX you’re out of there soon.
@canonmom413 – GL editing today! Hopefully it’s not too much of a hassle for you
@lulu1180 – There is nothing wrong with going into a cycle with a positive attitude! FX this is your cycle.
@hartmich – Congrats on the good news from the RE! It’s so crazy you saw your OBGYN there. It must be comforting to know she really understands what you’re going through.
@FLAshley – Enjoy the day with your DF!
@ag90 – Sending healing thoughts! It’s awesome that YH is being so supportive and wonderful to you

Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: HIO EOD, tracking CM, symptoms, BBT
R/R: I am so optimistic for this cycle. After my last cycle lasting only 26 days, I feel like I’m over the hump of “getting back into rhythm” after BCP. Now that I’m temping and being diligent with my symptom tracking (instead of BSC), I finally feel like I’m in control. This can happen!
CS/Q: not yet but I’m sure something will come up in the next 5 days
GTKY: I have an unhealthy nostalgia attached to Christmas. My mom and I would bake dozens and dozens of cookies that we only make at Christmas. I have these VHS taped TV specials from the 80s that I still watch. There are 2 or 3 specific Christmas CDs (Billy Gilman anyone?) that I have to listen to. Whenever any of those show back up, I feel like a kid again.
BFP #2 3/18/19 * EDD 11/25/19* DS born 11/30/19
@crazypuglady It's so hard to tell with some teas and supplements. The one cycle I drank RRL consistently, I had O 2 days earlier. Didn't drink it last cycle and it went back to my normal CD 13.
@cactusblossum Boo for having to work so much! Hopefully it slows down soon.
@wabash15: Hey, we are cycle day buddies at the moment! FX that the medicated cycles and IUI are a success!
@FLAshley Enjoy your day off with your DF!
kiwi2628 I hate all things winter. The cold, the shorter days and especially the snow (sorry, I know others like it). It just snowed this morning and I want it gone. It's pretty and it should stay in the mountains, lol.
lulu1180 FX your intuition is right!
@zwink1: Hope O happens soon!
@hartmich It so true that we never know other people's stories. I work in an environment with lots of kids and almost all of my co-workers have children. Sometimes, they will make comments like, "if you had kids you would understand." And while there may be some truth to that, I want to say, "F*** it's not like I don't want them." Sorry, end tangent.

WAYDTGKU: Pom juice (why not), temping, PNV...waiting until after AF to start HIO and OPKs
R/R: Ok, I apologize in advance, this may be long, ranty and have a few TWs.....
Last night, I had some spotting (which has not happened during my LP), so I had a feeling I was out. I also have had terrible cramps and sore boobs (haven't had either leading up to AF for the past 3 cycles). But then I woke up this morning to temp, and it was still above cover line, so I was optimistic. I went to the restroom and....well AF had definitely shown up. What's a bit concerning (TMI) is that there is lots of dark red clotting. I am hoping that's a sign that I will have a heavier, more normal period compared to my past 4 that were very light and only two days, but I don't know.
*****TW*****
I am also just bummed because tomorrow should have marked week 10 and I for some reason had the stupid idea that maybe we would be successful in the 2 cycles following my CP. There are a few people I know who are conceived around the same time I did and are hitting milestones I thought I would, and I just feel a little depressed. I know we haven't been trying very long, but I just didn't realize that our TTC journey would start on such a heartbreaking note. But, I am going to try to be optimistic and hope my body is going back to normal with each cycle.
***TW***
CS/Q: nothing
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why?
Chlorine, anywhere I smell it, reminds me of swimming and my childhood. We used to spend our summers in California and would go swimming a lot. The smell of pools always makes me happy, even though I don't really enjoy swimming now.
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: All the things
R/R: So I have bad teeth. They're not strong and if I have a cavity, if it isn't fixed in 3 months it irreparable. Last night I bit into a bun (a soft, yummy bun) and one of my teeth shattered. What the heck, teeth? Why must you do that.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? Wood burning stoves. Every time I smell that I think of our cabin with my parents and the fires we'd have inside, or the big bon fires we'd have outside. I love it.

My temp is normal and I'll take an OPK in a few hours to see what it says. I was so irritable last night I screamed at a video game and then went to my bed to cry. XD I have to laugh at myself.
CS/Q: Nothing. My temps were erratic leading me to believe that I was back to anovulatory cycles but they've straightened out so now I'm hopeful.
GTKY: So many. I am very much a sensory memory kind of person.
Certain tree smells, the sound of cicadas, and certain songs (Spice Girls, You'll Always Be My Baby by Mariah Carrey, anything Boyz II Men and some country songs) put me right back in the house I grew up in.
And then there's certain video games that put my back to my pre-teen years.
Certain songs and beverages and foods put me back at high school.

The song Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" brings me back to me and my sister choreographing a dance to it in our living room lol.
But ive seen the previews and it's making me want to watch the show even less...
@kiwi2628 I agree that cold temps and crappy, dead landscape seems stupid without snow. And I prefer that, if it's going to snow, it be enough to get me out of work!
@hartmich Hey cycle buddy! It's so crazy that your obgyn is an RE patient. I mean, obviously it's not beyond the realm of possibility, but WOW. I'm glad testing is going smoothly so far - aside from the hand poke. Phlebotomists always THINK I have good veins in my arms, but they look better than they are cuz I'm super pale. So, they poke and prod and give me giant bruises on my arms before either being successful with the arm vein, or moving to my hand.
@wabash15 YAY for starting a medicated cycle and IUI!!!! FX so hard!

This is a hard one. There are so many. I was born and raised on a farm and still run a farming operation with my husband and his family. So a lot of my smells have to do with being outdoors and working long days and nights on the farm. Nothing particular. I'll have to think about it some more!

R/R: I've been getting so annoyed at DH lately. Last night after I told him I had to order my trigger shot for next week, he said do you think this was the best cycle to buy that with? And me being extremely confused asked what he was talking about, he said you had a short period so it probably won't work. Which is the same thing he said about me not getting my period "on time" which I never get it the same day anyway?? He's really irritating me with this because I feel like he doesn't want me to do it because he's not ready or something even though when I say that he says he is.....sigh
CS/Q:
GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? The smell of chalk and feet like a gym (I know, gross) takes me back to when I was little and did gymnastics.
@lulu1180 yes! I felt the same way going into this cycle. Just strangely hopefully even before I started af. I'm trying to hang onto it because I'm sure that hope will dim later down the road in the cycle.
This job man, I've never worked with such psychotic people before... Anyway, I hope you're feeling better soon! Wisdom teeth hurt, no need to feel like a baby!
@wabash15 I'm glad you are feeling good about this cycle and FX so hard that the first medicated cycle works for you two!!!
@crazypuglady Not that I want someone else to be dealing with it, but it is nice to have someone share the frustration... I never get any cycle buddies lol. You and I should be sticking together this cycle though, I've had positive opks for the last few days and should O in the next couple of days here...hopefully.
@Dilynne Oh do I hear you on the crappy teeth. I'm so sorry you have a broken one! I have to go back in next Thurs to make sure an infection is clearing and they don't need to do a(nother) root csnal on one of mine. Fx you can get it fixed asap!

GTKY: What sound/smell/image brings you back to your childhood and why? This is weird but the sound of crickets. I grew up playing outside in the woods. We made trails and played with our bikes.
I was at least hoping AF would be normal this month, but she doesn't seem to want to cooperate. It's spotty and light so far...really hoping it changes over the next few days to resemble a normal period though (never thought I would be saying that).
One of my employees just informed me she will be starting her maternity leave 14 days earlier than planned. We do not have a replacement lined up for her while she is out. So I will be taking on her responsibilities while she is gone for 12 weeks and now it's 2 weeks earlier than I anticipated. Today, is going really well so far....
@dragonfly87 so sorry for cd 1. I also have been having really light periods *TW* the lightest one I had was after my CP actually end TW* for what it's worth, my doctor wasn't concerned at all about light periods when I asked (mine are only 2 light days and 2 days of spotting) he said there's nothing you can do to make a period heavier.

I even let the BSC creep in and took a HPT. ofcourse BFN. I don't know that I would stress over the flow so much. bodies are weird.

@cbobell2009 Did I read that right- 5 months and no period? Usually they recommend you see a doctor if you go 60-90 days without a period. I would do that before Vitex. I have heard some sketchy things about it. I think @adirat has some knowledge...
