dragonette505

Y'all are out of control! lol.... just getting on here and so much already! That Llama or whatever is going to be so tired this week! lol I usually just text my hubs basic stuff like eggplants and peaches LOL


CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: Supplements, yoga, acu, etc

R/R: I feel so good after acu last night... not sure if any of y'all are doing it, but I love the break to just lie around and do nothing for an hour! lol

CS/Q: still not much going on

GTKY: What are your top three favorite music albums (or songs)?     cant do this... too many...overload! lol

@KariAnne323 Sucks about your friend. He's going to have to somehow realize that he cant be or hold himself responsible for someone elses mental health. Whether or not shes just seeking attention almost doesn't matter. He has to look to his own mental health. But I know its super stressful to be going through this TW: (I once had a friend who kept  threatening to kill herself if I didn't keep paying her attention... eventually I got advice from a mental health provider that it wasn't my job to respond to her every whim. I stopped being her friend since it was unhealthy for me and she never killed herself.)
@50Wife    People are the worst... I think someone else here said it as well, but my peeve is when you hold the door for someone and they swan past like you are their servant and supposed to do it. I always want to kick them in the back of the neck. I usually say something like "d@mn... I guess she the queen of the world" or something... hate it!
@BertiemeetsGertie Yay! catch that egg! Did you stagger days or cover every day of your fertile period?
@dragonfly87 @wabash15 @shortstack930 So Jelly! Sometimes O day seems so far away (about 3 more days for me! lol) GL in TWW!

wabash15

@dragonette505 I forgot to welcome you here the other day. So Welcome! I've been following your story on the IF board. I hope you join us in the TWW soon. 

JulesDP

@BertieMeetsGertie I'm thinking about you! FX that everything is ok!!

NYTino24

@Dilynne yay for EWCM! 
@BertieMeetsGertie keep us updated!

BertieMeetsGertie

@dragonette505 thanks! I doubt we will ever get all the days if FW (We are usually once a week people), so if I can get 2-3 days, I'm pretty happy! FX for your FET!

TravelingCouple

Month/Cycle: 15/16

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Way too many things. BBT, OPK, CM starting at some point... CoQ10, Royal Jelly, Vitamin C all beginning from CD 1 this month, back to acupuncture, progesterone after O

R/R: We went away from Sun - Tues to a waterpark and it was so nice to just get away and stop thinking about TTC for a few days. Of course I got my period the day we were leaving, but it was bearable and now my period is almost over, so there's that. I also booked our flights to Hawaii last night!! We're going in mid-May. Right now we just have flights to Honolulu so I'll have to get a local flight to Kauai still. I'm so excited.

CS/Q: I was trying to look up info about using cups after sex for TTC..it's very confusing. Those of you who have tried it..do you use menstrual cups? I have the Diva cup but do you use the special cups made for TTC? It seems like a yeast infection or UTI waiting to happen imo...but I'm at cycle 16 so hey I'm open to some crazier shiz than I might normally be.

GTKY: What are your top three favorite music albums (or songs)?
Adele - 21
Paramore - All We Know is Falling
Ben Howard - Every Kingdom


Whoa, @lulu1180 I've been using FF VIP for years and I totally have never seen that feature!! You just blew my mind.
@Pinky917 Yup I'm on the East coast too and we're getting snow..even though it's like 65 degrees out right now. Weirdest winter ever.
@heatherdubrow I have my fx for you so hard this cycle with your FET!
@wabash15 Woohoo!!! Rooting for you so much on your IUI!!!

wabash15

@TravelingCouple I think the ladies that do the cup thing are using menstrual cups, but I'm not sure its the best idea... i mean its not like those little guys are likely to climb out of the cup once in there...

lulu1180

@TravelingCouple I think it's a slightly newer feature; I knew about it because I remember some ladies on here talking about it!

TravelingCouple

@wabash15 Yeah it seems odd to me..but every cycle/month that turns over usually brings me down to the Google rabbit hole. It's dangerous. I think I've added enough new things this month already


@lulu1180 I'll definitely be trying it out this month!

cherryblossomgirl507

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: Temping, PNV, CoQ10, Myo-Inositol, ALA

R/R: CD1 sucks. That's all.

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: What are your top three favorite music albums (or songs)? This is hard! Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, I know that's one, but I'm really stuck on deciding what my other favorites are. 

CandyApple2012

Hi there! Is it okay if I play too? I introduced myself on the newbie thread last week but I've gone back into lurker mode since the thread was pretty much dead and I'm still figuring my cycles out after IUD removal in December. 

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: pnv, green tea, bbt

R/R: I'm so glad it's hump day. I'm a teacher and this part of the school year is always a little rough for both students and teachers. My kids were nuts this morning!

(Edited because the mobile app ate the rest of my post...) 

CS/Q: I didn't sleep very well last night, and I was really surprised to see that it may have made a dramatic difference in my temperature (97.3 yesterday, 98.2 this AM). Is this to be expected if you wake up once or twice in that three hour window before temping? (Neg OPK yesterday and no EWCM, so no O yet). 

GTKY: What are your top three favorite music albums (or songs)?
Too many favorites! 
1. John Mayer has been my top jam since I was 13... we've done a lot of growing up since then, lol 
2. Anything 90s/early 2000s makes me happy (Spice Girls, Will Smith, Backstreet Boys, etc) 
3. Random: I love the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack. It is perfect for grading/reading. 

50Wife

@CandyApple2012  if it were me, I'd see where your temp is the next couple of days. If it's way off, I'd probably discard today's temp. I usually see what the next day or so has to bring if i temp after interrupted sleep or if I didn't get 3 hours before waking up and temping. It can definitely swing a decent amount depending on how much you're tossing and turning, at least in my experience. 
Just my opinion...the other ladies may have better advice! 

NYTino24

@CandyApple2012 People don't usually hang out on that thread. They just intro and jump into other threads. How long are your cycles normally? How long have you been temping? It's early, but that could be O.

lulu1180

@CandyApple2012 So this isn't really going to be a huge help but the short answer is that it is different for everyone.  I know that if I don't sleep well and am tossing and turning at night, I have a temp spike if the tossing/turning is more "violent."  However, if I make a concerted effort to roll over a little more calmly then I notice little to no spike.  The best thing I can tell you is to keep track and see how things like that affect you.  

Also, when you have a bad night's sleep, you can mark FF as sleep deprived for that day and it will give you an open circle to let you know that the temp may not be completely reliable.

CandyApple2012

@50Wife Sage advice! Will wait and see. 

@NYTino24 Gotcha. I don't have a normal yet- I have had an IUD for the last 5 years and had it removed December 20. After that, I waited about 7 weeks for my first period and now I'm at CD 11 on my first real cycle in years. I know it will take some time for my body to regulate itself, so I'm using OPKs to help me narrow things down.

@Lulu0802 Thanks for the FF pointer! It is amazingly detailed and I have been pleasantly surprised to see all of the variables the app accounts for. Poor sleep really sucks, ugh.

jess0211

@TravelingCouple I was also researching using cups after TTC sex, I will be curious to see what everyone else has to say.
@CandyApple2012 welcome!
@BertieMeetsGertie thinking about you!

And my 3rd song for GTKY, I am totally loving Maren Morris' My Church right now.

WillRunForWine21

@CandyApple2012 welcome! I hope your stay is short!

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: all the things 

R/R: so my guess is O was yesterday buttttt it will be confounded. Here is how the first 15 minutes of waking up went: woke up, realized thermometer fell on the floor, almost get out of bed reaching for it, put it in my mouth. Proceed to sneeze a DOZEN times. Try to do it again and then get violent hiccups. I'm not overly worried, timing is our typical but just comical.
Our schooligans was cancelled tomorrow because of snow Ran to the store for wine and chips and dip. Yayyyyyyy

CS/Q: nope!

GTKY: What are your top three favorite music albums (or songs)? 
1. Tag Team Woop there it is (first tape I ever owned)
2. Beatles Love
3. Less Miserableso  (I know its technically a play but it is my favorite and I listen to it all the time)

lulu1180

@WillRunForWine21 I love Les Mis!!!!  I fell in love with it the first time I saw it in college!

cdnrunning

@LuND love NIN!!! Saw them in concert years ago - we were in the front row. It was A M A Z I N G!
@wabash15 Sending good vibes. FX!
@BertieMeetsGertie Hands down, best text ever.

cdnrunning

@CandyApple2012 my temps can fluctuate quite a bit when I travel, sleep poorly, drink too much wine etc. Having said that, I'm always able to distinguish when I O as long as I'm temping consistently and at the same time each morning

WildMagelet

Month/Cycle: 20/18

CD: 25

WAYDTGKU:  All the things!

R/R:  Rave:  Pretty sure I had EWCM today, which means hopefully I'm finally O-ing and can go over to TWW soon.
Rant:  H was scheduled to turn in his SA today so we didn't HIO last night.  He takes his sample in today and they call him, while he's walking into the lab, to tell him they need to reschedule his SA dropoff and will have to do it next week.  And of course he got called out to work and won't be back until probably Thursday.  So not only did we not DTD during prime time, but now I'm not going to have his SA results for my RE appointment on Monday, which makes me super cranky.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What are your top three favorite music albums (or songs)?  Anything from Into the Woods, by P!nk, or that played in a Disney Princess movie.

NYTino24

@WildMagelet I don't understand why they couldn't take it if he was already there?!?

WildMagelet

@KariAnn323 - That sucks for your friend.  Hopefully he realizes he deserves so much more than that and can stay away from the BSC.

@50Wife - That's absurd!  I don't understand some people and their lack of common courtesy these days.

@jess0211 - Work it, girl!  

@lulu1180 - Thanks for the OPK tip!  I've had VIP for over a year and never noticed.

@dragonfly87 @wabash15  @shortstack930 - FX!

@BertieMeetsGertie  - Do they normally call to discuss results?  My GP's office does that for everything, even if it's just to tell me it's normal.

@WillRunForWine21  - Love Les Mis!

@NYTino24  - That's what my thought was!  The only thing I could think of was that they had a problem with their courier service today because of the snow.  Our lab doesn't actually process the results, they overnight them to another clinic.

cactusblossum

@BertieMeetsGertie hope the news is good news!

@CandyApple2012 welcome!

@cherryblossomgirl507 sorry for CD 1

@WildMagelet that sucks and is really stupid!

I need to quit my job and move back to the east coast so I can keep up on TB. Except I don't want the snow y'all are talking about!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD:  21... Patience is a virtue...

WAYDTGKU: temp, cm, opk, pnv, hio

R/R: temp went up this am. Hope it's the real deal this time. Really tired of hio. Here's my swiggity swooty:


CS/Q:

GTKY: What are your top three favorite music albums (or songs)?
Sevens - Garth Brooks
Tragic kingdom - no doubt
And then probably something Eric Church

shortstack930

*lurking from TWW*

@WildMagelet I loveeeee Into the Woods!!! I played the Baker's Wife in my high school production and it's been my favorite musical ever since. DH and I are going to see it live at a theater in our city this weekend as a Valentine's Day thing!

WildMagelet

@shortstack930 - I'm so jealous!  It's been my favorite show since I saw it performed at a community theater when I wasn't in Jr. High!  The Baker's Wife is a dream role of mine, although honestly I'd do ANY role on stage or off just to be a part of that production if it came around.

BertieMeetsGertie

@WildMagelet nope, they never call. All the results are posted online and they either email me to say everything is fine or don't really say anything at all. So, who knows! I guess I'll find out in a couple of hours.
