R/R: I'm tired. It's not even 7 and I need this day to be over with.
CS/Q: I'm not temping this month and it's totally making me less stressed. We are just having a lot of sex. Which is awesome.

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, Pom juice, CM, HIO if my H will start cooperating and OPKs
R/R: I have another packed day with meetings, but we're having a pot luck lunch at work so that should be fun!
CS/Q: Nada
GTKY: Are you more of a cat or dog person? Bonus points for pictures of your pets.
Dogs! I'm allergic to cats so I never really liked them much. I have 2 dogs a black lab mix who is a huge trouble maker, and an 80 lb golden retriever mix who is the biggest baby in the whole world.

WAYDTGKU: waiting
R/R: rave: it's hump day! 2 more days of work this week. Rant: I can not get my child to sleep in her bed all night. She will go 2-3 hours then she is climbing into my bed. I love the snuggles but momma needs rest and bed.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Are you more of a cat or dog person? Bonus points for pictures of your pets. I am a small dog person. Large dogs scare me.
@Brooklyngirl6 hope you get some rest today.

WAYDTGKU: letrozole, ovidrel, progesterone, green tea, pineapple core, pnv, other vitamins, hio
R/R: nothing here today, just a much needed lazy day to catch up on sleep andisorders maybe catching up on some house work later
CS/Q:
GTKY: Are you more of a cat or dog person? Bonus points for pictures of your pets. Dogs. I like cats to pet them and whatnot but not to bring home. I have a pug and an Australian cattle dog mixed with lab

WAYDTGKU: vits, hio
R/R: Well, we decided on ntnp. After a $5000 surgery to put DF back together he mentally cannot handle how emotional I am about TTC. We are going to go ntnp for a bit and continue to focus on our health.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Are you more of a cat or dog person? Bonus points for pictures of your pets. Dogs. Definitely dogs. We have three. Two shih tzus and a lab mixed with crazy. Love them. I like cats too - they are cool in the way they are constantly "plotting your death". Like little house cheetahs.

R/R: I'm just middle of the road today. It's Wednesday so hump day is always a plus! But Wednesday is my crazy day at work so let the madness begin.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Are you more of a cat or dog person? I have a cat. But I could probably deal with no pets to be honest. Dogs make me nervous. My cat just keeps to herself unless she wants to be fed.

@purplg8r omg I can't with how adorable those pictures are!!
@Brooklyngirl6 gorgeous pup!
@purplg8r FX for good news and the green light to travel
@FLAshley do you have time frame for NTNP or are you just going to play it by ear for now? FX for good timing regardless
@kaitlink33 your day sounds awesome aside from the cleaning part
@TigerCakes @Brooklyngirl6 @emcake sorry for the darn kids messing with your sleep. I hate trying to function the next day after interrupted/no sleep. Zombie land all the way
@JJMNO1616 That's awesome you guys have a buyers market, that's really fantastic and makes things a hell of a lot more enjoyable
@dragonette505 yep I just keep putting hypothetical temps in to FF with the hopes of willing my body to O

WAYDTGKU: stuff
R/R: long day yesterday, managed to get in a 10 mile run after work. Had dinner and crashed after mandatory HIO session.
CS/Q: nope - slight raise again today but not enough to be sure of O. I suspect it might be another slow riser
GTKY: Are you more of a cat or dog person? Bonus points for pictures of your pets.
Definitely a big dog person, 2 weimaraner and a chocolate lab (the other weim is on the ottoman, you can see part of her leg)
M/C: 5/3
CD: 50
WAYDTGKU: Consulting Dr. Google on natural ways to induce a period. SS every twitch of pain as either O pain or AF when it ends up being neither. Having heart to heart discussions with my ovaries and uterus to get their shit together.
R/R: DH ate one of my last frozen Thin Mints last week. He just informed me that he bought 5 boxes to make up for it. I might just have to eat them all at this point. Oh, and the ILs had a fun conversation about how DH needs a baby and he loves babies and is going to be so good with a baby and we should have a baby asap. I'm trying as hard as I fucking can. My body is not exactly giving me the opportunity here.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Dog person all the way. Kittens are cute to look at. Cats are meh. Here's a pic of my 2yo keeshond who makes me happy on days like today.
@FLAshley I hope everything is okay with DF. FX for a fast and uneventful recovery.
@50Wife Good luck at your appt!

R/R: I was put in charge of a meeting today that I forgot entirely about until a coworker mentioned it in passing. Oops! It's not a big deal, becasue it's just a brainstorming/planning thing, but has still thrown my morning off.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Are you more of a cat or dog person? Bonus points for pictures of your pets. I love both cats and dogs so much, but if I had to choose, I guess I would say that I'm more of a cat person.

@TigerCakes Have fun at your potluck lunch! I love this, but I always overeat then get sleepy after lunch. LOL Also, I love goldens and black labs! Is your golden overweight or just huge? I don't know about dog weights, but 80 lbs sounds like a lot to me.
@emcake Sorry for CD2. FX for this cycle!
@kaitlink33 Enjoy your lazy day!
@FLAshley That's good that you decided on a way forward. Also, your GTKY made me LOL!
@purplg8r I hope your doctor gives you the go ahead with everything, including travel.
@50Wife GL at your Tuesday appointment!
@DeriveMyPi I hope your day gets better. Hugs!

WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, OKS (starting next week), wayyy less alcohol and of course, HIO
R/R: Rant: I admit I am a 1-2 (large) glass of wine a night drinker a night after DS goes to bed. So I was really hoping that cutting out almost all alcohol would help level out my rocky mountain style temperatures, but so far that's a negative. They're still all over the place
CS/Q: nada
GTKY: Are you more of a cat or dog person? Bonus points for pictures of your pets. Definitely a dog lover. We actually just had to put our 10 year old puggle down the Monday after Thanksgiving. Literally one of the worst days of my life and we still miss him dearly... Our 2.5 yr old son will still randomly ask where he is, makes me cry every time.

GTKY: Are you more of a cat or dog person? Bonus points for pictures of your pets.
I know this is very unpopular but I'm just not a pet person. I would rather not have animals of any kind in my home. There are some dogs i occasionally take a liking to but I would rather just visit them at my friends homes lol
@FLAshley My DH is already sick of my TTC anxiety and we haven't even started yet. It's hard not to get wrapped up into all the emotions.
@purplg8r Despite my feelings about pets. Those pictures are adorable.
@LoveInDC So sorry that you are still waiting for AF and had to deal with that insensitive conversation with your ILs.
@Starla Sorry it's a rough day
@BertieMeetsGertie Yay for high temps and CH!
@MrsMiller8588 GL at your interview!!
@hoosiermama1 Sorry to hear about your wonky temps. That's so frustrating. Do you temp orally? I wonder if vaginally would give you more consistency?

Going to call my RE today for the follow-up ultrasound of my cysts he wants to do. Last, but not least, I made an amazing homemade dashi with homemade shrimp wontons and whole asian roasted tai red snapper last night for dinner and I have the leftovers for lunch. YES.

@LoveInDC - Hi! I havent been here in a couple months so you don't know me but I just want to let you know that I recently came off 6 months of no ovulation and no AF. I was stubborn and just assumed it would come back eventually. I FINALLY went to the Dr. to induce my period and within 3 days she was back. And just recently I'm pretty sure I ovulated. So I just wanted to give you hope that all is not lost and that sometimes your cycle just needs that little push to get back on track. I hope everything gets back for you because I know how frustrating this can be and I am sorry you are going through it. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Eat lots of thin mints! Yum!

@purplg8r I love your dog's outfit!
@50wife Thanks! hope your day isn't too crazy
@cdnrunning Thanks! I hate even complaining about not sleeping because I know everyone here (including myself) would welcome getting less sleep with a baby
@LoveInDC I'm sorry you're having a rough day. It sucks when people say insensitive things and that people comment on people's reproductive plans. Everyone knows we are trying at this point and people still say stuff to me all the time that makes me look at them like WTF. I've started calling people out since everyone knows anyways, but it's harder when you are trying to keep it private. FX you get your period (or even better a BFP!) soon
@Cricket648 Hope your meeting goes/went well! It sucks when that happens.
@starla Thanks! He's probably about 10 pounds overweight. We try to limit what he eats and make sure he gets enough exercise, but it's tough with a toddler who thinks it's hilarious to give him food! **TW** I'm so sorry for your loss and that you're having a tough time. My loss was 3.5 months ago and I still feel that way. I feel like everyone in my life at this point feels like I should be over it, but until you've been through it you can't imagine how it feels. Hugs to you.
@JJMNO1616 FX they accept your offer!
@GG620 Sorry about CD1, but that's good that your cycle was shorter. Your dinner sounds delicious!
@LaurenEG14 Nice to "meet" you! And thanks for sharing your story. It's so frustrating because I've had so many fake outs with my temps. Thanks for the extra encouragement to set a hard line and see the doc then, no if ands or buts. Congrats on getting your cycle back!
FLAshley Ugh... sucks your DF had to have surgery, but great you guys can stop and catch your breath before throwing yourselves whole hog into ttc

I sent him several emails yesterday asking for clarification and direction and he responded to one and didn't even fully answer the questions... I just ended up having to call him because he is not good at communicating at all.
CS/Q: Just waiting to O. I've been under a lot of stress the past two weeks, and I've read stress can delay O... so only time will tell if that is what is happening.
