Starla I’m super sorry you are dealing with this. Glad to
hear you are feeling more in control.
50Wife I had the tubes put in when I was a
baby and my mom said it was a miracle worker… ear infections were only rare
after that! Good luck!
Dilynne Not acceptable,
MIL. That’s terrible. My MIL says inappropriate comments all the time and I try
to tune it out. But ugh. Sounds like she fancied herself a doctor last night!
JJMNO1616 Yay on the house! That’s huge news!
Maybe the house stress was causing your temps to fluctuate?

M/C: 2/2 CD: 6 WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPK, Ovia, trying to have sex R/R: Rant: Why are Clear Blue OPKs so expensive? The advanced ones... Ugh. I bought them for this cycle but that's it. CS/Q: Not yet! GTKY: Do you have plans for St. Patrick's Day? What are they? (Let me know if this GTKY has been done already): No plans, but I will watch Dateline if it is on... I know my students (college students) will be trashed and worthless that day because it is a day called "green beer day" here and the bars open at 3 AM. So I guess I'll have free time at work!
WAYDTGKU: HIO, BBT, Starting OPK this cycle, FertilAid, OvaBoost, FertileCM, Vitamin C, Omega3, Probiotic, Dessicated Liver, Collagen, Red Raspberry Leaf Tea, Maca, Green Tea CD1-O, POM Juice CD2-O, Pineapple 1DP-5DPO, No Alcohol/Caffeine, Fertility Yoga
R/R: Rant: My husband scheduled our exterminator the same day as our cleaning people, which means my house was clean and beautiful and perfect for a grand total of 15 minutes before the exterminator team came tramping through. Rave: This gorgeous unbelievable weather and getting a flashing smiley on my OPK this morning!
CS/Q: I’m reposting my question from yesterday, just because I posted so late: At the doctor yesterday he intimated that short luteal phases are pretty rare and that it was more likely that my body just took 2-3 days to rise the temperature post ovulation (my last two cycles were (at least according to FF) 8 and 7 day luteal phases respectively). Has anyone heard of this? I seem to remember from all my reading that the temperature spike was pretty instant.
And one more for the preseed users: any tips or things I should know?
GTKY: Nothing major, just making corned beef and cabbage in my Instant Pot (my life is an exciting one, I know!)
@50wife Sorry to hear about DS’s ears. All my friends who’ve had the surgery for the kids rave about it; it’s definitely made a world of difference for them.
@Dilynne I am just cringing at your MIL’s comments, ugh. I’m so sorry. What’s a wedding social?
@JJMNO1616 Congrats on getting your offer accepted, that’s so exciting!
@Cricket648 I hope your power comes back sooner rather than later

CS/Q:
