@Stargazer1lily have fun today!
Good morning, all!
Month/Cycle: 10/7 (4/2 AL)
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: temping, opks, PNVs & CoQ10
R/R: yesterday in class we had a pizza party and my kids roughy in snacks. One of my kids spilled water on the tile was I was passing stuff out & didn't clean it up nor tell me about it and I slipped and my ankle slammed into the edge of the counter. It hurt so bad that it took everything in me not to start cursing. It's still painful and swollen this morning. And I cheated on my 21 day fix. I had been so good for 12 days--not even a tiny little cheat. But I couldn't handle the snacks so I gave in and had a bunch. Thankfully it didn't hurt the scale at all and I'm a lot less grumpy now! Today one of my mrtt friends held a run/walk for her dad who had pancreatic cancer. I walked with my bff (but she'll be cleared to run again on Tuesday hopefully. Yay!)
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you never had to sleep, how would you spend the extra time? Read allllllll the books & catch up on tv shows
Month/Cycle: 5
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: bbt, opk, preseed, EOD sex
R/R: It was so hard to have sex yesterday because neither of us wanted to. We both have lower libido's so all this sex is really rough. Also, I have two different kinds of OPKs (care check and easy at home) and I've been using both to test try them out against each other and there is a major difference. I got a positive yesterday on the easy at home and still today the care check is negative. Check out this picture if you're curious, this was taken at 10 minutes.
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you never had to sleep, how would you spend the extra time?
I would get all the chores and hobbies done that I've been wanting to do forever! My house would be spotless.
ETA: how the hell do you spoiler? I tried and failed.
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: PNV BBT CM RRL HIO
R/R: Not much going on today! Just running some errands and hanging out at the house. Planning to stop by a few Home stores to make some returns and look for more decor inspiration. I think I may try to make something new for dinner tonight too.
CS/Q: Nothing today! Just waiting for some CM to show up.
GTKY: If you never had to sleep, how would you spend the extra time?
I would definitely force myself to work out lol I would also spend more time cleaning and cooking more from scratch. I'd love to learn how to bake all the things.
@holly321 Hope AF arrives soon!
@RVAmom315 Sounds like you have a great day planned!
@purplg8r Oh no! So sorry to hear about your ankle. Hope you feel better soon.
@charlestonchew I totally understand how you feel. I know I alluded to the same thing yesterday but I have a generally low libido so having regular TTC sex isn't particularly fun for me which makes me feel really bad. My H even jokes about it asking if he needs to give "a donation" which makes me feel horrible. I can't really deny the fact that I want to have sex because I want a baby though. It's tough.
@charlestonchew I'm so sorry, I know how much TTC sex sucks
@JJMNO1616 Enjoy your day!
@holly321 FX for AF!
@MrsMiller8588 Your morning sounds heavenly!

@RVAmom315 , I like your "treat yo self!" plans! Have fun!
@Stargazer1lily , I've never been fishing but I think a boat ride sounds pretty fun! I hope you have a great day whatever you decide to do.
@purplg8r, ouch, I hope your ankle heals quickly. Good job not swearing in front of the kids!
@charlestonchew and @JJMNO1616 , I hear you both on the lower libido thing...mine's been creeping back up a bit since I went off the pill, which is a mercy since it was completely non-existent before, but it's still nowhere near the point where sex every day for days at a time sounds good even in theory.
@JJMNO1616, using the non-sleep time to bake is a good idea! I always have all these elaborate recipes I want to try in theory, but I need bigger blocks of time if I'm going to get them done and then be able to clean the kitchen up afterwards!
Month/Cycle: 6/7
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT, green tea, waiting for AF to be over
R/R: DH just got called in to work, which interrupted our nice lazy Saturday morning! At least we're getting close to the end of his crazy overtime hours, as they submit their big project pretty soon. My plan now for the rest of the morning is to watch "This is Us" on Hulu (no spoilers, I'm still back watching the November episodes!) and work on my "learning to crochet" project.
CS/Q: Nope!
GTKY: Ideally I would exercise and organize my house, realistically I would just read a lot!
@JJMNO1616 what are you going to make for dinner?
@RVAmom315 done with school? If so, nope. Tues & Wed with the kids then post planning on Thurs & Fri
@Augusta108 This is Us is a great show

@MrsMiller8588 That sounds like a lovely morning!
@RVAmom315 I fully support your weekend plans!
@purplg8r Yay for enjoying snacks AND sticking to your plan!
@charlestonchew DH has a pretty low libido as well. Super proud of him that last cycle we DTD 4 times in FW (and the 4th time was actually his prompting!). But it is super tiring, and I (with the higher libido) can't say that I'm unhappy to have a break in HIO outside of FW. I was worried (and at one point snarkily pointed out, which isn't fair) that DH has to have sex to make a baby (he's the one with more baby-fever for sure). While we've only had 1 cycle so far, I am worried myself that one (or both of us) will feel resentful about the sex. I think those are normal feelings and worries though. Even if you LOVE sex, feeling like you HAVE to have it can take out a lot of the fun. I mean, calendars can't exactly dictate emotions and romance, so just because you're fertile doesn't mean that you're "in the mood", and that's ok!

@holly321 I hope AF arrives soon..I'm sorry this cycle is tough.
@RVAmom315 Are you going anywhere fun?
@Stargazer1lily sleep is great- it's hard to choose something else when you enjoy it that much!
@purplg8r ouch!! I don't know how you kept the curse words in. You are my hero on that one.
@charlestonchew that stinks that you are getting inconsistent results. Are you trying FF or any charting to see if one may align better?
@Augusta108 hoping AF leaves soon
@JennyColada good perspective on timing and emotions! Hopefully you and DH don't get resentful!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD:12
WAYDTGKU: FF, OPK, PNV, BBT (when I remember before getting out of bed)
R/R: my two apps are predicting ovulation but OPKs are negative. I've been charting with glow since I started BOTB so I thought it may be more accurate. Hoping I get a positive before DH goes back out of town
CS/Q:
GTKY: If you never had to sleep, how would you spend the extra time? Unfortunately, I'd probably eat more..
@holly321 I hope this cycle ends soon for you!
@RVAmom315 that sounds like a great day, I hope you enjoyed it!
@Stargazer1lily have fun on the boat!
@purplg8r sorry about your ankle!! And I love that you would read more, seriously sometimes I think we're the same person
@charlestonchew I use the easy at home OPKs and they've always seemed really accurate and have lined up with my BBT chart well. I've never heard of the other brand though.
@JJMNO1616 I like your idea of cooking and baking more! I feel like I would enjoy cooking more if it wasn't something I always had to rush to do.
@Augusta108 that sucks that your H got called in but good that you have a nice day planned!
@JennyColada I agree that scheduling sex makes it not as fun. There is such a difference between TTC sex and non-TTC sex!!
@olive_lane hahaha I love that you would eat more!!
I created the thread and then work got too busy for me to post!

R/R: work was so busy last night! By the end of the night my feet were killing me and I just came home and collapsed into bed.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: If you never had to sleep, how would you spend the extra time? I'd love to say I would do something productive but other than spend more time with my family I would just read, read, and read some more!
