WAYDTGKU: WFAF to GTFO, attempting to lose some weight, BBT, PNV, CM/CP, HIO as much as possible, prayer
R/R: While I was at lunch with my friend a moving truck hit my car while it was parked on the street outside her house. It’s pretty bad damage including a popped tired. Luckily I work from home and don’t really need my car that much but still it’s super inconvenient to be stuck in the house. This is the second time this car has been in an accident (once by my sister and this time). Now I’m trying to figure out what the eff I’m supposed to do about this and it doesn’t seem like anyone wants to give me any straight answers. I’m not paying a cent for this.
CS/Q: Thanks y’all for the advice. Sounds like I’ll just try to temp when I first wake up not depending on time so much. Usually I sleep right to my alarm so hopefully this won’t be too much of a problem.
GTKY: I started babysitting when I was 11 but my first real job was at an ice cream shop (only lasted like 2 weeks because the manager turned out to be a drug dealer and *TW* child pornographer seller /TW) so I would probably say a take and bake pizza shop. I loved that job! The only job I have actually liked in my life.
@MrsMiller8588 – GL in TWW. All the things crossed for you!
@mschanadlerbong1214 – sorry about the missed cycle. I hope that the therapy helps your anxiety. Yay for pizza shop!

WAYDTGKU: PNV, HIO, CMT, OPK
R/R: Officially a CD1, AF arrived for the first time in 2 years, OMG how did I forget the cramps!? The cramps are real. Ugh.
CS/Q: Not yet, hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
GTKY: What was your first job? When I was 16-17, I worked for the USDA in a research lab in my home town. I ran the HPLCs and just generally anything the lead researcher needed me to do.
Married DH: 2013
DD: Dec 2015
BFP 8/14/17 --> Due 4/27/2018
@mschanandlerbong1214, sorry about the bad timing for this cycle. I hope that seeing someone helps with the anxiety, TTC can definitely be emotionally challenging.
@justkeepswimming8, that's terrible about your car! It definitely seems like the moving company should be the ones to pay for repairs.
Month/Cycle: 7/7, month rollover today.
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, CM, OPKs, green tea
R/R: Home sick today with a migraine. My meds have kicked in some but I'm still planning to go to sleep as soon as DH goes off to work!
CS/Q: Still waiting on a positive OPK, though hoping it won't be today since I'm not feeling great. That probably guarantees it will be today, of course...
GTKY: I provided child care at church as my first paid job, but the first "more than two hours a week" job was as a shelver at the local library. Same library where I work now!
CD:27
WAYDTGKU:bbt,cm,opk,pnv,hio
R/R: Bad sleep last night wondering if it is why my temp was low but I felt like I was roasting and it would have been higher.
CS/Q:nope
GTKY: What was your first job? student job at a clinic answering phones, doing inventory.
@mschanandlerbong1214 I'm sorry you think you missed it, but having some time for therapy is good so you can feel like you're in the right place next time. FYI I'd still HIO when he gets home if you want to try --I don't get temp rises until a few days after my + OPKs stop. You never know!
@justkeepswimming8 That sucks! WTF! Are you in touch with the moving company?
@fishsticks-n-custard I'm sorry for AF, but it's good to know where you stand in your cycle, at least.
@Augusta108 Ugh sorry for the migraine and rollover.

WAYDTGKU: Starting Clomid today, the SSG, monitoring, and IUI
R/R: A bit nervous to start the Clomid today and sort of excited that it happened to fall on the same day of my first acupuncture appointment. And it's raining! Which is really weird for this time of year here, but not a bad thing at all.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What was your first job? Filing in a family member's office in the summers starting when I was 13 (off the books) and continuing till I went to college. It was boring, but fine, and I got to listen to my walkman most of the time.
CD: 30
WAYDTGKU: buying alllll the PNVs, OPKs, etc. and taking antibiotic to clear uterine infection
R/R: I'm going to lunch today at a fun restaurant with two coworkers I really like, and one is paying
CS/Q: none today!
GTKY: What was your first job? Do you all remember the store Limited Too? I started there when I was 16! Then it changed to Justice and I left shortly after. And yes, everything felt like an overload of pink and glitter, all day every day--coming from a girly girl.
@MrsMiller8588 Good luck!!
@mschanandlerbong1214 That's so frustrating, I'm sorry
@justkeepswimming8 That's ridiculous! I'd be so mad. You shouldn't have to pay a dime!
@fishsticks-n-custard The cramps are soooo real. Take it easy today!! Love your username
@vflux33 Good luck with the Clomid!
TTC#1` since June 2017
@mschanandlerbong1214 ugh sorry this journey is tough for you. Taking time to be in s good place mentally is so important! Good for you!
@fishsticks-n-custard sorry for the cramps!
@justkeepswimming8 yea no. You shouldn't pay for anything on that repair!
@augusta108 ugh migraines sucks! I hope you get some rest!
@Stargazer1lily I hope you get better sleep. Do you think you're getting sick, or just a random junky sleep?
@vflux33 excited for you to get things going! Good luck!

GTKY: What was your first job. Sales associate at Mervyn's! Haha. I remember my mom used to make me call out all the time saying that I had "too much homework" so she wouldn't drive me (then I'd spend that time just sitting in my room reading...). I got my good work ethic certainly not from her!

WAYDTGKU: Waiting for a new cycle
R/R: I wasn't going to post today, but it's so hard to read and not comment, so here I am. I'm going to bed after this, so I won't be on until later.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: This is complicated because my mom ran a gas station and diner while I was growing up, so I worked there a lot! And I babysat. And we had a farm. First laid job that took out taxes was at a restaurant washing dishes!
@mschanandlerbong1214 - I know you've really been struggling with your anxiety this month. I hope that getting back into therapy helps. Will you be going to a therapist you've seen before?
@justkeepswimming8 - I effing hate insurance companies. I hope you were able to get the info from the people who hit you. Don't be afraid to get a little mean on the phone!
@fishsticks-n-custard - I loathed running the HPLC in my lab. Reading your GTKY brought back a flood of emotions, some good and some bad about my grad school days! Oh and congrats on CD1! Let the games begin (after the cramps subside, of course)!
@Augusta108 - I think it's adorable that you now work at the same library where you had your first job! What medication do you take for your migraines? I usually take maxalt or imitrex and I hate the side effects, but it's better than having a migraine for 3 days.
@Stargazer1lily - I'm sorry you got such terrible sleep last night! Hopefully you can go to bed early tonight.
@vflux33 - Ah! It's happening! I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you that this will be your only cycle of clomid. I forgot to tell you that I booked an appointment with the only fertility acupuncturist in Omaha.... August was the earliest opening, but I'm really excited about it. Let us know how it goes!

@fishsticks-n-custard so sorry about cd 1 & the cramps!
@Augusta108 migraines are no fun! I hope you're feeling a little better.
@Stargazer1lily I didn't realize we were cd buddies. Come on bodies!
@vflux33 yay! Hopefully Clomid treats you well!

WAYDTGKU: temping, opks, PNVs & CoQ10
R/R: just left for our vacation. Today we're headed to Biloxi for the night. We're gonna hit the casino!
CS/Q: last cycle I O'd on cd 40. I was hoping that I was wrong on the cd1 of that cycle since I was still continuously bleeding so then I'd have the O day wrong. But I guess not. *TW* the latest I got a +OPK before the ectopic was cd 26. And we're past that now. I'm so frustrated because the loss, the bleeding, and all the issues of the ectopic weren't enough...now it's screwed up my cycles!! I don't have time for this at my age! **end TW**
GTKY: What was your first job? I started babysitting when I was young. Then was a day camp counselor over the summer. But my real first job was at Target. I still can't wear red and khaki together!

R/R: today is comey hearing day! It's happening right now! Excited for all the podcasts to come
CS/Q: no
GTKY: What was your first job? So I don't know if this counts as a job, but I got paid so. When I was 14 I was pretty against drinking alcohol, but literally every person I knew had been drinking for at least a year. My best friend drank - no joke - 21 shots of tequila and vomited all over her room (which her parents had built specifically for her: to enter, you had to walk through their fully stocked, professional-looking bar; she had her own bedroom, living room, kitchen and dark room, essentially underneath the main house, but it exited to the pool). Anyway, I joined this program to reduce youth access to alcohol, in which maybe 4-5 of us tried to write policy to get grocery stores to keep hard alcohol in a separate area so it would be harder for kids to steal (my friends either stole bottles from grocery stores or just took from their parents bars). The group was supposed to have 25 kids, so when it was time for us to get our stipend, they split the full pot of money between 5 of us instead of 25. By the time I was 16, all of us in the group drank fairly regularly so it was sort of a joke. Still got paid tho!
and the air conditioner is broke. Hopefully tonight is cooler

R/R:my first was a welcomed surprise, so I didn't realize that TTC would make me realize what a control freak I am and how triggering it is.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What was your first job? Burger King during high school
@doxiemoxie212 that's an interesting first job (and wow about your friend!)
@heatherdubrow I'm super impressed with you! I'd be too chicken!!
@justkeepswimming8 That sucks about your car! It's good that the other driver went ahead and filed a report and that their insurance is going to pay for your repair. I know that it's a pain dealing with insurance companies at all though. Sorry that it might affect your resale value though.
@Augusta108 Get some rest and feel better!
@vflux33 GL with the clomid! Hopefully the side effects won't be too bad. I'm excited for you this cycle!
@JennyColada Glad that you are happy with your timing this cycle, even without HIO last night. Woot! FX for you.
@purplg8r *TW* I'm sorry that you are feeling so frustrated by your cycle and everything that you have been through. I know how easy it is to get freaked out about what your cycle is doing AL and what it might mean about how long it will take you to get KU. I'm 2AL as well and having some of the same thoughts about my age. I don't know if this is helpful or not, but I'm just trying to focus on the fact that it might take a few cycles for things to level out hormonally so that I'm not like, "omg I didn't o until this date or my LP was only this long- It must mean I'm broken and I'm too old and I'm never going to be able to get and stay KU because I waited too long." It's easy to go down that rabbit hole of worry. Don't do it. I know that you've been TTC longer than I have, so I certainly don't want to minimize that. I just want to encourage you to be kind to yourself and show your body a little grace right now. I still personally feel like you are in that window of recovering chemically after your loss. KWIM? *TW* Anyways, I hope that you have fun on your trip and enjoy the casino!
I'm on mobile and have to keep stopping. Sorry if I've missed anyone. I'll be back later.

R/R: The weather is awesome today! No rants.
CS/Q: No
GTKY: I was a waitress for a summer. I made tons of tips and got to spend a ton on clothes and shoes, so that was cool. I quit after 3 months because we moved and the drive was too far for my mom. Plus, I was 16 and getting hit on pretty enthusiastically by managers and coworkers in their mid 30s. Also, lots of lewd comments by male patrons. Not sure why because it was Steak and Shake, so it's not like the outfit was sexy or anything. Maybe it was the area? IDK. Either way, it was gross.

I just read an article that said vitimin D is one of the best nutritiates for women TTC, so I'm going to use that as my excuse to float around the pool, soak up sun, and not clean my house ;-p
CS/Q:
GTKY: What was your first job? Babysitting when I was young... other than that, I started working as a hostess at outback steak house the day after my 16th birthday. I was a vegetarian at the time, so I lived on house salads and kids mac haha...

WAYDTGKU: tempting and OPKs
R/R: it was a hectic work day. but I'm done! and tomorrow is Friday with a beautiful weekend ahead!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What was your first job? I guess technically I should say mcdonalds. but I seriously worked 2 hours a day for like 2 months. so I usually count my second as my first 'real' job, it was at Baby Gap.
@mschanandlerbong1214 sorry to hear about the missed cycle.
@justkeepswimming8 oh no!! that's horrible. hope you can get some answers asap!

@pebbledam, I take Maxalt for my migraines. I try to take it as seldom as possible because it does have some unpleasant side effects, but I'm grateful that usually that plus Excedrin Migraine will get the job done. I've actually been having fewer migraines overall since I started taking prenatal vitamins, which I find interesting.
@vflux33 , GL with the Clomid! How was your acupuncture appointment? I've thought about trying that for my migraines but have never gotten brave enough.
@jessicarenee70, those glittery pink mall stores terrified me when I was a teenager! I was never really a girly girl and I figured they'd peg me as a fraud the minute I went in, lol.
@JennyColada, that's funny about your mom making you call out from work! My parents were definitely the opposite.
@purplg8r , have fun on your trip! GL at the casino!
@doxiemoxie212 , I enjoyed your first job story! I went through a pretty rabid anti-alcohol phase around that age too. Funny to think about now, given how much I love my bourbon!
@heatherdubrow , I hope everything went smoothly today with the moving company!
@kbamomma33 , I'm sad you had such a skeevy time working at Steak n Shake! I love Steak n Shake. But I guess creepy guys are everywhere. I got hit on a lot as a library shelver, too.
@hollieileen , oh no about the pineapple! Your dogs should buy you another one.
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: clomid, HIO, healthy lifestyle changes
R/R: I think I figured out why my temps are all over the place. I have a sinus infection, so I have probably been getting fevers. I have been thinking I have been getting migraines almost daily for a week, and it hit me today that I was getting a sinus headache when my ears started to hurt.
CS/Q: none
GTKY: What was your first job? I used to clean houses with my aunt in the summer. It paid really good. But my first actual job was as a pharmacy clerk, I started the summer I graduated high school. DH and I worked alternate days from 3-7.
@vflux33, good luck with clomid!
@hollieileen , that is terrible about your pineapple. Do you feed it on purpose to your dogs? I feel like mine wouldn't notice it was food.
@purplg8r , have fun on vacation.
@heatherdubrow yay! for the shot and good luck with the move.
@mschanandlerbong1214 I'm sorry about the timing of your cycle.
@justkeepswimming8 that's a bummer about your car. Hopefully the moving truck's insurance will cover all the repairs!
@Augusta108 glad your migraine medicine kicked it! Those are the worst!
@purplg8r sorry your cycles are all funky. I really hope they start getting on track for you.

R/R: My phone broke so I had to wait for a new phone today. I'm currently transferring all my stuff but it's a pain in the ass. Oh and I got a positive OPK today! I'm contemplating if we should still HIO ED VS EOD.
CS/Q: It's looking rough.
GTKY: What was your first job? I was 14 and rode my bike to my job. It was a summer job and I was a dishwasher at the family owned restaurant. It was awful.
@hollieileen That's kind of lol about your pineapple. Sorry about the mess! My dog hates pretty much all fruits and vegetables besides sweet potato. He's very much like a child in that regard.
@purplg8r ah so excited/jealous for you. Definitely share pics please!
@justkeepswimming8 I'm glad that things seem to be moving easily/quickly with your car. Still a huge hassle though and something I wish you didn't have to deal with!
@doxiemoxie212 Sometimes I just read over the other WTO posts and am like "oh yea I'm doing that too!" to compile my list of things, lol.
@Stargazer1lily it's been getting warm here and for some reason our bedroom runs a bit hot as well. We bought a tower fan/air circulator for the bedroom that has helped. Conveniently enough, the day after we bought it our A/C broke. Haha. (Fixed now though, thank goodness.)

@pebbledam I looked at your typo and was like, "you got laid at your first job??" lol
@doxiemoxie212 Cracked up at your job story. I agree about the checklist thing for WAYDTGKU. Like dude, I'm doing the things. You know what the things are.
@heatherdubrow Nice job on the butt shot! I am kind of afraid to give myself shots so praying the Clomid works.
@Augusta108 Do it! My appointment went really well. She has other clients who see the same RE as me (I went to one who specializes in IF). I'm pissed I didn't go 6 months ago TBH b/c I really like her and she has already pointed out some things I wasn't aware of and she referred me to a naturopath she works with where I can tests for things my RE/PCP/OB won't test for, which is interesting.
@mispanda Yay for your + OPK!
@justkeepswimming8, I'm so sorry to hear about your car! What a pain! Hopefully everything will get taken care of quickly.
@fishsticks-n-custard, ugh! AF cramps suck! Hopefully she'll leave quickly!
@Augusta108, I'm sorry you have a migraine! I used to get them frequently. So painful! Get some rest!
@Stargazer1lily, I'm sorry you didn't sleep well. Ugh! I hate when I have nights like that!
@JennyColada, yay for good timing!!
