R/R: vertigo is still here. vertigo is TERRIBLE. I do not wish this on anyone. And this is where my crazy ass brain goes (TW): what if I end up KU either this month or next month, and I still have vertigo (because the internet says it can take 6 weeks to resolve), and I end up with vertigo and morning sickness??
Seriously, have any of you had vertigo before? I have done all the exercises I can find from ENT docs online, but it is not working, and I am going to lose my mind.
CS/Q: not about TTC but see above re: vertigo ETA: WAIT I THOUGHT OF A Q: can I take flonase while TTC? Internet seems mixed about it. Anyone know?
GTKY: If you were uber rich, what frivolous comfort would you enjoy or disliked chore would you outsource? I would have a housekeeper that comes at least 3x a week (which would include laundry), but if I were uber rich I don't think that would be that crazy. I think I would hire a driver.
R/R: rave: its the weekend! it was a long, short, week. rant: got my chipped tooth fixed yesterday and now I wish I wouldn't have. I didn't know he had to build up the back of the tooth.. bottom front tooth. right where my tongue sits all day long. I don't know how I can get used to feeling this there.
CS/Q: none
GTKY: If you were uber rich, what frivolous comfort would you enjoy or disliked chore would you outsource? probably house cleaning. which I know people have now even if they aren't uber rich. But it'd splurge.
@elisek I actually reeeeally like your idea! not even for the washing. But the styling. I can NEVER get my hair to look as good as they do.
@doxiemoxie212 fingers crossed for you tomorrow!! And I haven't had issues with vertigo. a friend of mine has, but she's never told me what she does for it. But I can't imagine. I absolutely hate that feeling, and to feel it nonstop.. I'd go insane.

@doxiemoxie212 I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I have gotten vertigo right before fainting a few times, but not in years. If you have an extra test lying around I'd take that shit and if it's a BFN I'd go get the flonase. My RE didn't list flonase among the "please avoid during treatment cycle" OTC meds. Either way good luck and I hope to (not) see you leave!

The rave I guess is my acupuncturist seems cool. She made me fill out about 20 pages of paperwork, the detail of which I expected and did not receive from my RE.

CS/Q: GTKY: If you were uber rich, what frivolous comfort would you enjoy or disliked chore would you outsource? MH and I have talked about this: we would drink a lot more fancy wine.

@elisek I love that you would have someone to shampoo your hair! @doxiemoxie212 I'm so sorry for the vertigo! My mom gets it occasionally and really all she can do is lie down for awhile. I hope it clears up soon. Also, my regular doctor had told me to use Flonase and said it was fine for TTC. @catlady1215 I had a chipped tooth fixed years ago and I remember it took some getting used to the feeling of it after it was done.

@shortstack930 alright, I'm taking it. How much damage could it do? Certainly has to be better than any potential child's incubator losing her damn mind, right?
@doxiemoxie212 I agree! And that was kind of my doctor's opinion too, she was like listen you have to be able to breathe.

@doxiemoxie212 I looked up flonase on InfantRisk and it says probably safe. I'm not so technically savvy but I'll try to figure out how to post the screenshot of the app for you. Have you seen an ENT to try a Epley maneuver? I've heard great things. But vertigo sucks so much.
@elisek Amen on the hair washing thing. That is the best feeling in the world.

CS/Q: *TW, previous children discussed* Does anyone know if OPK are accurate while breastfeeding? *end TW* Also, I've been reading about temping and shift work. What I read said to try after you get at least 3 hours of sleep, but I sleep so badly during the day, I often don't get 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Should I just start temping, but on the days I do get that much sleep?
GTKY: If you were uber rich, what frivolous comfort would you enjoy or disliked chore would you outsource? We're not uber rich but we do have a cleaning lady that comes every two weeks since we both work full time. If I was uber rich, she'd come a lot more often!

@fishsticks-n-custard I have an appt for next Friday with an ENT, but I'll lose my mind if this is still going on by then. I've tried the epley maneuver myself (youtube video fun times), but I can't really figure out which ear is the problem. Sigh.
@fishsticks-n-custard I work overnight two nights a week and stay home on a normal schedule the rest of the week and I have still been able to see a clear temperature shift, my temps are just more rocky. I would just try to temp after your longest stretch of sleep each day.

@doxiemoxie212 Vertigo is horrible! I get waves of it, but only take medicine when I know I am doing something that will trigger it (motion sickness), and I haven't checked to see if it is safe for pregnancy/ttc, I have just avoided taking it. Hope you find a solution soon! And yay for testing tomorrow! @catlady1215 Maybe the dentist can file it down a bit? @elisek Enjoy your travel free weekend! @fishsticks-n-custard that bug is going around here as well. Hope you feel better! @shortstack930 yay you are over here! You are testing out the trigger! haha I have been debating it, but I think I decided not to, but now I want to test on 13 dpiui and the doctor said wait until 15...so wondering if I should. @vflux33 Sorry Mr Noperson is still sticking around. Love the gif! And your comparison of RE vs Accu made me laugh. @KariAnn323 4dpo and I am already repeating the same mantra..I will not test early. Enjoy your Friday and extra paycheck!
@ramzlau Yay for CH! Really pulling for all you IUI'ers (and hoping to be joining you on that train soon--of course hopefully you'll all be KU by then)
Update: spotting has increased which doesn't bode well BUT my friends dad is an ENT doc, and he called me about my vertigo. Turns out I have the viral kind that you just have to wait out! Could take a month to feel normal! Yay! Lol
@doxiemoxie212 oh no! that vertigo sounds horrible I'm sorry you have to wait it out. as for the Flonase, if you're on any other meds maybe just check out if there are any possible drug interactions that may not be safe in TTC. @KariAnn323 sorry about the month rollover. Thanks for posting the June outside challenge! @elisek I'm with you on the looking forward to the weekend! and you're so right about having someone wash your hair, love the scalp massage @catlady1215 sorry to hear about the tooth, hope that it starts to feel "normal" to you soon @vflux33 i'm dying laughing over here at the accup vs the RE. ugh sorry Mr. Noperson has taken up residence, if he doesn't leave this cycle, I'm hoping that he is nowhere to be found for the next one. @shortstack930 so glad to hear your IUI went well. FX for you!!! @fishsticks-n-custard Hello. sorry about the bfn. I'm not sure about the opk & bf. the ladies in the TFAS thread may have some insight @ramzlau yay for CH. GL finding that motivation.

GTKY: If you were uber rich, what frivolous comfort would you enjoy or disliked chore would you outsource? I like the idea of a driver, I could get so much reading done if I wasn't driving. (i've done audio books in the past on really long drives.) But, if I could pay someone to fold/hang my laundry I would so do it. I don't really mind washing/hanging to dry it is the folding that gets me.

@vflux33 sorry about that bad appt. I wonder if MH has that. cleanings every 6 months, but it never fails.. he always has to go back 1-2 more times after each one.
@shortstack930 so you're saying you got used to it?? oh I hope! thank you!
@avrilmai I currently have 2 baskets of clean laundry in my living room waiting to be folded/sorted.. from last weekend and its Friday already. lol. I might need to switch my answer to yours!

Testing: Doing my best to at least hold out until 10 DPO. I should probably wait until next Thursday, when AF is due to show up, but I don't know if I will last until then.
R/R: I always turn into a BSC SS during this part of the TWW. Thanks to all my research (and lurking), I know way too much about conception and implantation. It also doesn't help that my mind convinces me that every little thing is a symptom. I've managed to talk myself out of testing so far bc of my knowledge listed above. Two more days and that argument flies out the window, probably along with my self-control. Then I will have to come up with another reason not to POAS.
CS/Q:
GTKY: I love the hair washing at the salon idea. One of my favorite things. And the styling. I also like the idea of having a housekeeper/cleaner. I am not a fan of doing chores.

Fresh flowers at work and in my house all the time.
@doxiemoxie212 Vertigo is horrible! I get waves of it, but only take medicine when I know I am doing something that will trigger it (motion sickness), and I haven't checked to see if it is safe for pregnancy/ttc, I have just avoided taking it. Hope you find a solution soon! And yay for testing tomorrow!
@catlady1215 Maybe the dentist can file it down a bit?
@elisek Enjoy your travel free weekend!
@fishsticks-n-custard that bug is going around here as well. Hope you feel better!
@shortstack930 yay you are over here! You are testing out the trigger! haha I have been debating it, but I think I decided not to, but now I want to test on 13 dpiui and the doctor said wait until 15...so wondering if I should.
@vflux33 Sorry Mr Noperson is still sticking around. Love the gif! And your comparison of RE vs Accu made me laugh.
@KariAnn323 4dpo and I am already repeating the same mantra..I will not test early. Enjoy your Friday and extra paycheck!
@KariAnn323 sorry about the month rollover. Thanks for posting the June outside challenge!
@elisek I'm with you on the looking forward to the weekend! and you're so right about having someone wash your hair, love the scalp massage
@catlady1215 sorry to hear about the tooth, hope that it starts to feel "normal" to you soon
@vflux33 i'm dying laughing over here at the accup vs the RE. ugh sorry Mr. Noperson has taken up residence, if he doesn't leave this cycle, I'm hoping that he is nowhere to be found for the next one.
@shortstack930 so glad to hear your IUI went well. FX for you!!!
@fishsticks-n-custard Hello. sorry about the bfn. I'm not sure about the opk & bf. the ladies in the TFAS thread may have some insight
@ramzlau yay for CH. GL finding that motivation. I was there yesterday. Once I was able to get it into work it definitely helped to distract me. FX for you!

CS/Q:
GTKY: If you were uber rich, what frivolous comfort would you enjoy or disliked chore would you outsource?
I like the idea of a driver, I could get so much reading done if I wasn't driving. (i've done audio books in the past on really long drives.) But, if I could pay someone to fold/hang my laundry I would so do it. I don't really mind washing/hanging to dry it is the folding that gets me.

I would get someone to do all cleaning and household chores like dishes, laundry, and cleaning.

planning FET
"Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks,
some doors are open, some roads are blocked"
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: -1 and 0
Testing: Doing my best to at least hold out until 10 DPO. I should probably wait until next Thursday, when AF is due to show up, but I don't know if I will last until then.
R/R: I always turn into a BSC SS during this part of the TWW. Thanks to all my research (and lurking), I know way too much about conception and implantation. It also doesn't help that my mind convinces me that every little thing is a symptom. I've managed to talk myself out of testing so far bc of my knowledge listed above. Two more days and that argument flies out the window, probably along with my self-control. Then I will have to come up with another reason not to POAS.
CS/Q:
GTKY: I love the hair washing at the salon idea. One of my favorite things. And the styling.
I also like the idea of having a housekeeper/cleaner. I am not a fan of doing chores.
@Avrilmai Yes to having a driver. I hate driving. Also 100% with you about folding and putting away laundry. I hate that shit.
Month/Cycle: 5 total, 1 AL
CD/DPO: CD 33
Timing: TTA
Testing: AF finally arrived, which is a relief because I hated not knowing when she'd show, so I'm off to WTO!

CS/Q:
GTKY: If you were uber rich, what frivolous comfort would you enjoy or disliked chore would you outsource?
Weedeating/yardwork! I hate doing it, and MH doesn't mind, but he's busy and there's A LOT, so it usually gets put off. BUT, we're in a pretty hazardous wildfire area, so it's important to get it done
