WAYDTGKU: PNV BBT CM RRL HIO

R/R: Welp, no O yet but I knew hoping for CD13 was a long shot considering I've never Oed that early before. Today is a lot more likely and we would still have -2 timing so I'm reallllly crossing my fingers for O today. 

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller? I'm 5'4.5 and I have always been very happy with my height.

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: I'm 5'5" and I'm pretty ok with that.

@JJMNO1616 FX you get your temp spike soon! 

Month/Cycle: 3/2 (1 AL)

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: TTA first full cycle AL, but charting BBT, CM, PNV

R/R: Rant- DH is going out of town for a week for work and is leaving today. He travels a ton for work, and has for years so you think I would be used to it by now, but it still bums me out when he has to leave.The travel started piling on quick for this month and he'll basically be gone until the beginning of June except weekends. Good thing we are TTA this cycle anyways. Rave- it's gorgeous again outside and I'm hoping to get more painting done today.

CS/Q: Nope.

GTKY: How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller? 5'7 and I've never had any beef with my height.

starla

Hi, I'm back! A took a few days off posting in the daylies, but I lurked a lot. 

@JJMNO1616 Yay for first cycle trying!! I'm excited for you. Keep HIO even if you think you may have O'd until it's confirmed. 
@pebbledam Aww enjoy the play and time with your sister. 

Month/Cycle: 9/6 (3/2 AL) <-- Edit to fix 

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, temping, still waiting for AF to be gone. 

R/R:

CS/Q:

GTKY: How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller?
Im 5'3" and I don't mind it. Sometimes I wish I was a few inches taller to make it easier to find pants that fit, but most of the time I'm fine with it. 

sed8611

@kbamomma33 I'm sorry he'll be gone most of the month. My husband works nights, which I know isn't the same, but after a two week stretch of nights I start to feel like he's not home at all since our schedules cross. 

Month/Cycle: 1/1

WAYDTGKU: Sex

R/R:

CS/Q:

GTKY: How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller? I'm 5'7". I'm fine with it. I might change my mind when DD gets to be taller than me. 

50Wife

@JJMNO1616 fingers crossed for good timing!

@pebbledam have a great day with your sister!! 


CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: all of it. Starting back up with OPKs for this cycle again tomorrow probably.
God I love the short time in the beginning of my cycle with no temping or peeing on things 

R/R: Sunday blues have started and it's 9am. Getting myself ready to go food shopping so I can meal prep for the week and do some laundry in between. That is my Sunday Funday

Also, I'm not in the position where this applies to me and I'm praying it would not get to that point, but I found out my company's insurance covers IVF! I'm just like wow, I'm so glad and happy for the women that have been able to use it. I did talk to one girl and she said that they put $10k towards the meds and that's a one time payment. So if you go through IVF more than once...you won't get the 10k again towards meds. But I'm just amazed, especially hearing of the choices some families have to make regarding whether or not they can afford it. It's just shitty. 

CS/Q:

GTKY: How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller?
Im 5'2. 99% of the time I'm fine with it. There have been those few times where I found a super cute dress and it was definitely made for a taller girl. 
But with that being said I get to wear awesome sexy high heels and I'm still shorter than the hubs (he's not the tallest either). 

petethecat

@pebbledam Enjoy your sister time!

@sed8611 Ugh- I know that must be a real challenge as a couple having opposite night/day work schedules. I bet being so close, yet so far away really sucks sometimes. 

starla

@50Wife OMG I was just a thinking how the follicular phase after AF is my favorite part of my cycle. Hormones are not driving me nuts, I don't have to obsess about peeing on things like you said, and no TWW BSCness and PMS. 

Sunday used to be my fave day of the week because I would just relax. Now I do errands/chores and dread having to go back to work. I try to shift some stuff to weeknights to spread it out. It's not like I'm doing anything on a Tuesday night so might as well do some laundry. 

Also that's awesome about IVF coverage but FX you won't need it.

50Wife

@starla I've started to maybe do a load of laundry during the week or clean something too so I won't need to do it on the weekend.  I feel like my weekends are just doing house stuff anymore. 
I wish I could work from home one day a week to at least do laundry so I'd have more free time. 
Forget it if we have plans on a Saturday and Sunday. Nothing gets done! 

heatherdubrow

@JJMNO1616 I hope you O soon!

@starla

@pebbledam have fun with your sister!

@kbamomma33 I'm sorry your H is leaving town.

@50Wife that's awesome about the IVF coverage! Mine definitely was not...

Month/Cycle: 1/1 AL, 18ish total

CD: no clue

WAYDTGKU: FET cycle

R/R: I have my SIS test next week and then start lupron injections on Saturday. Ready to get going!

CS/Q:

GTKY: How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller? 5'5". I'm ok with it.

pebbledam

@JJMNO1616 - FX O is today!
@kbamomma33 - Sorry that YH is going to be gone most of the month. We'll be here to keep you company!
@sed8611 - I work nights all the time and it definitely makes TTC hard sometimes because we have to schedule awake time together...
@50Wife - That is definitely the best part of a new cycle! Peeing on things was exciting the first cycle, not so much anymore. 

jenotontx

@pebbledam Hope you have a great day with your sister!

@kbamomma33 I know how you feel about the work travel. It really sucks. Sorry to hear your H will be away so much over the next month. 

@50Wife Even though I hope you never have to use it, it's still great to have that piece of mind that your insurance actually covers people in their time of need. 

@heatherdubrow Glad to hear you are getting started with your injections. Just wondering... how are you doing the FET cycle with your move? Are you just transferring all of your care before the move? Will you be done before you go?

WillRunForWine21

Sorry I've been Mia. This testing cycle has me shaken up a bit and life has gotten I  the way. I promise I'm lurking and cheering.
@JJMNO1616 fingers crossed for O today and yay for being with us "for real"!
@pebbledam what play? I love theater I wish DH would be willing to go more often
@kbamomma33 sorry about DH work schedule. We had that in April and it just stinks. Hope you have a lot of girly Netflix and wine
@Starla @50wife I feel you on the Sunday blues. We have so many errands to run today and DH is a little crazy about making g sure he gets to the gym both weekend days so I go because I feel lazy if I don't but then I feel like we don't get a weekend day when Saturday is planned (we both worked yesterday) ughhhh. I miss laying in bed all day with coffee then takeout when we first started dating

Month/Cycle: 11/11

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: pnv bbt cm preseed green tea hio eod testing cycle to hopefully start IUI in june

R/R: just the weekend usual. Fighting the lazy to be productive and that is no fun at all

CS/Q: nope. O was either yesterday or friday. I was up for 60 minutes at 3am Saturday morning because of a car alarm outside and I don't trust how high the Saturday temp was but timing is fine either way

GTKY: How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller?
5 foot 2 and usually ok with it except with pants as @starla said. And I don't fit into petite sizes because I'm athletic build and petite is too tight on my thighs and shoulders so I always add the cost of hemming to any new clothes I buy. DH is 6 foot 5 so I do like feeling extra small around him

vflux33

@JJMNO1616 Hope you (and the rest of us!) all O ASAP!
@pebbledam Have a great time with your sister!
@kbamomma33 I'm sorry you'll be on your own this month so much. 
@sed8611 You may want to edit your siggy!
@50Wife I wish I had your insurance! I don't even get diagnostics covered. It sucks. On MH's employer's plan and the people who chose the plan all are older and already have kids so they just don't care. 
@heatherdubrow That's great you get to move forward so soon! All the fx for you. 

Month/Cycle: 14/12
CD: 27
WAYDTGKU: all the charting and RRLT this cycle and then IUI + Clomid next cycle if my dumb body ever O's and this cycle actually actually gets going.
R/R: Nothing much to report just been working out a lot and enjoying the weather.
CS/Q:
GTKY: How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller? Congrats to me--I win the shortest award! I'm 5' and half an inch and I feel you on the pants, @starla. So annoying. I do a lot of rolling the bottoms, and have also cut some when that was more in style and sometimes I splurge and get them hemmed professionally. On my license the DMV rounded up to 5'1" out of pity, but I know the truth. @50Wife I am also still shorter than MH even with the tallest heals. He is average height 5' 10" but he looks super tall next to me, which makes him feel good. I once dated a guy over 6 feet and it was just weird --we looked like a circus act. Never again.

heatherdubrow

@JJMNO1616 I'm doing all of the prep before we move. I'll fly back a few days after the move for the actual transfer. Then after that I will have to be monitored elsewhere.

I don't even know how anymore! I've been off the bump so long. I don't even know what it looks like!

ETA: Finally found it! I had forgotten it was there since I can't see them on mobile!

WAYDTGKU: BBT OPK PNV CM HIO

R/R: My temp dropped even more today but -OPK. I'm so confused. 2 positive OPKs last week but still no spike. This is so freaking frustrating. 

CS/Q: I guess see above 

GTKY: How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller? I'm 5'4. I always liked my height until I started putting on weight. Now I wish I was taller so it would even out   

pebbledam

@WillRunForWine21 - We are going to "Leading Ladies" put on by our community playhouse! 
@vflux33 - I think it's cute that the DMV rounded up for you.
@mschanandlerbong1214 - I feel ya on the putting on weight part - That's why I want to be taller, too!

I'm happy to report that I got my first flashing smiley face on the CBAD since my first cycle! FX HIO will go ok... Gotta play it cool. 

Augusta108

@JJMNO1616, FX for that -2 timing! 

@pebbledam, have fun at the play! And FX that all goes smoothly with HIO!

@kbamomma33, I hope you enjoy the gorgeous weather. I'm hoping to get outside for a bit later on if I can get enough housework done first.

@50Wife, yes, the window in between AF and needing to do OPKs is the sweetest time of the month for sure. And yay for good insurance! Hopefully you won't need the IVF coverage but it has to be comforting to know it's available.

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, BBT, OPKs, CoQ10 when I remember, green tea, Preseed

R/R: Had a really fun day with DH yesterday on his one day off this week! We went to the library for Free Comic Book Day celebrations and then out with a friend to see Guardians of the Galaxy. I can't wait till his OT is over and we get two day weekends again, but at least we made the most of the day we had.

CS/Q: This is a big "UGH" right now. I thought I'd O this weekend but I haven't turned an OPK yet, which is just as well because our attempt to BD last night did not end well. DH's stress/fatigue levels combined with FW pressure continue to be Bad News. I'm trying to emotionally prepare myself for the possibility of a TWW with no timing whatsoever to pin my hopes on. But we'll see. At least we have a little more time to try.

GTKY: I'm 5'7" and fine with it. I do have trouble finding pants that fit correctly since I'm a little short for Talls and a little tall for regular, but I like being a little bit on the tall side and being able to reach shelves that other people can't. This does remind me of a time I was working as a library shelver in high school and a patron asked me to get a book for her "since you're so freakishly tall." One of the few times I felt self-conscious about my height! 

jenotontx

Wooohoo! My DH just called and told me he got an earlier flight home today so we may actually be able to HIO tonight once more! I know he is going to be super tired and not in the mood but I think he can manage a quickie. 



@heatherdubrow Glad you got the logistics worked out!

@mschanandlerbong1214 Sorry to hear your so confused. I don't know a lot about OPKs because they seem confusing to me too so I haven't considered using them at this point. 

@pebbledam Yay for flashing smiley! 

@Augusta108 Sorry to hear about the BD difficulties. My DH already hates this planned sex thing and this is only 1/1 for us. 

50Wife

@kbamomma33 glad your hubs travel won't interfere with any baby making this month! Hopefully once you're back on board, he won't be traveling as much (or can work around your cycle)

@heatherdubrow glad you're getting the ball rolling! 

@vflux33 I dated (ok we just made out) guys in high school that literally had over a foot on me. So awkward. 

@mschanandlerbong1214 ugh I'm sorry your temp isn't cooperating 
 
@Augusta108 glad you had a great day with your husband! 

@JJMNO1616 yeeeeaaaaaa girlllllll! Get it!! 

Cricket648

@JJMNO1616 My fingers are crossed for you, girl! Hopefully O is today!

@pebbledam Enjoy the time with your sister! What play are you going to see? Also, yay for flashing smiley!!

@kbamomma33 Sorry YH has to travel so much. That's rough. 

@mschanandlerbong1214 Sorry about the +OPKs with no temp spike.  That happened to me this cycle, and it really messed with my head. 

@Augusta108 Sorry you're having a rough time in your FW! Hopefully you still get the timing you're hoping for!

Month/Cycle: 3/1

CD: 77

WAYDTGKU: Waiting

R/R: A bird build her nest on our fence in the backyard, and the eggs just hatched. The baby birds are so cute! The bsc side of me thinks it's a sign...

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller?
I'm 5' 2". I'm usually pretty comfortable with my height. The only time I wish I were taller is when I'm shopping for clothes (just like @starla @vflux33 @50Wife @WillRunForWine21). I'm also pretty skinny, so it's hard for me to find clothes that look "adult" and professional, becasue I usually have to go to the junior's section to find something in my size. So, if anyone knows of a store that has a good selection of short/small sizes, I am always open to suggestions!  

georgiagirl3050

@JJMNO1616 fx for O today and yay for the chance to HIO again!
@50Wife I love the beginning too, no pressure and that's amazing about your insurance, even though I hope you never benefit from that!
@pebbledam yay for flashing smiley!
@Augusta108 I feel you, DH frequently complains about feeling "used" during my fertile window, and that leads to some unsuccessful attempts... I know I need to take the initiative during other parts of my cycle, but it's hard to not get burnt out!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 18

WAYDTGKU: temping, charting, OPKs, PNVs, sexytime

R/R: pretty sure I O'd yesterday, my temp spiked this morning!  but I'll hang out here until I get crosshairs

CS/Q: nope, just kinda excited to have O'd so early, I don't usually until CD21-24ish.  I feel so "normal"...

GTKY: How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller? I'm 5' 3", and I wouldn't mind being an inch or two taller so I could wear regular pants instead of petites or alterations.  But other than that I'm pretty happy.

R/R: nice relaxing sunday. 

CS/Q:

GTKY: How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller? 5'10" I am the perfect height.

vflux33

@Cricket648 I don't know what type of work clothes you wear, but Ann Taylor has a decent petite section with really good not too expensive business suits that have helped me to look less childlike whilst being professional

Mythril

Month/Cycle: 17/13

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, Letrozole, Metformin, etc.

R/R: I have been exhausted lately. I read that letrozole can do that. I sleep all night and then have to take one or two naps through out the day. I'm also thinking about doing an elimination diet to figure out what causes me to have to run to the bathroom after eating sometimes. I just have been feeling like crap lately! And there's the little voice in the back of my head that says "your last period was very short and the wrong color, maybe it wasn't a period." And I yell at that voice that my temps dropped and to shut up. XD 

I go in for my CD12 ultrasound tomorrow. I'm excited and nervous. I'm hoping for some good follicles. Had sharp pains on the right side so I think that may be the one.

CS/Q: Nothing special going on.

GTKY: 5'5" and I'm totally okay with that. Not too tall that things hit me in the head, not too short that I can't reach anything. I need help from my 6'3" husband sometimes, but I actually like asking him for help! Makes me feel cute and loved.

petethecat

@Cricket648 Aw, baby birds! I'm laughing at your BSC comment.   Nothing wrong with listening to that BSC it if it's got nice things to say. 

@Mythril I'm so sorry that you've been feeling like crap and having such a rough time lately. All of that sounds horrible.
I hope that your ultrasound goes well tomorrow! 

pebbledam

@Augusta108 - The FW pressure is real. And MH is picking up OT starting this week, too. We weren't able to get any BD-ing in during FW last cycle and it was frustrating, to say the least. 
@Cricket648 - We saw "Leading Ladies" and it was good!
@emcake - I love how confident you feel about your height!
