Re: WTO 9/7 -- Thursday

  • Month/Cycle: 4/4

    CD: 12

    WAYDTGKU: Lots of the normal stuff plus trying out OPKs to fulfill the urge to POAS. :D

    R/R: Did a great yoga workout last night. My back and shoulders have been getting kind of sore lately, probably from poor posture while sitting behind a computer all day at work. Going to try to put some effort into getting up once an hour to walk around a bit and stretch. Also, DH and I HIO 4 days in a row since it's my FW! I think we hit a record (which is maybe kind of sad since we've been married for 8 years)? Haha.

    CS/Q: Not temping.

    GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? Planning! I just love planning vacations and trips -- researching hotels, restaurants, things to do. Once we decide to plan a trip I can't stop til it's done. My favorite kind of trips to plan are Disney trips!

    CD: 12

    WAYDTGKU: benched but still tracking CM and symptoms

    R/R: Rant:  Working my first clinic day with one hand.  Rave:  Random, but my dog is a goofball.  Just watched him spend 10 minutes trying to push his bed out of his crate because his favorite ball got stuck underneath.  He could not figure it out, I had to go help him!  Now he is happily chewing on it.

    CS/Q: no temping

    GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? Quilting would be the obvious one.  I'm also a pretty darn good closet cleaner/organizer!
  • @offtoneverland  I also have terrible posture (and carpal tunnel at age 28 from so much typing).  I need to look up some chair yoga--I enjoy that and it does help.  I love planning vacations too!  It drives my husband nuts because he's more of a do-what-I-feel-like-in-the-moment kind of vacationer.  We compromise--I make lists and he chooses from them!

    WAYDTGKU: Temping, prenatal, OPK (eventually)

    R/R: no rants today. Looks like Irma will get out of the way in time for me to fly down for Disney :)

    CS/Q: not yet

    GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for?

    drinking wine?

  • @offtoneverland Great job with the HIO! Last time we did a four day stretch DH and I were exhausted...he was so ready for a break...Lol. 

    @catlady1215 Oh I hope you cat is okay! I always hate when fur babies are sick cause they just can't tell you what's hurting. My dog just ruptured a ligament last year, and it royally sucked to see her so low....I'm glad your egg held on for another day :) Good timing always makes the tww a little easier

    @quiltandknit I wrote to you on yesterday's daily. Check it out when you get a chance :)

    @Augusta108 Glad your cycle is regulating! I always want to do a happy dance when I feel like my body is cooperating...Lol

    @nimmle YASS!

  • @josie12367 So glad your cycle finished up so you can get some peace of mind. Sorry to see you back here, of course, but glad you're able to move on and that you had a natural cycle!
    @catlady1215 GL at the vet today! Hope your kitty's okay and it doesn't get too expensive.
    @quiltandknit GL at the clinic today. Your GTKY is a good one! I can never keep my closet organized. 
    @nimmle Great news about your Disney trip!

  • @zamora_spin Doing Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Animal Kingdom. Can't wait to check out the new Frozen and Pandora rides!

    @offtoneverland That is my kind of vacation planning ;)

    @catlady1215 Yeah, get that eggy!

    @quiltandknit I'm guessing I missed a post about this, but what happened to your hand?

    @Augusta108 I'm with you on the migranes. I haven't had them yet since coming off BC, and kinda hoping they don't. 

    @josie12367 Welcome to WTO! Also, procrastination is one of my favorite activities. I'm doing it right now at work. What do you typically do when you are procrastinating?
  • @nimmle Basically anything but what I should be doing...If it's homework I'll choose chores over it, or really anything. I've even cleaned out closets or rearranged rooms to avoid it. I always tell myself, well that just had to be done today. Usually it didn't and totally could've waited. It keeps the house tidy though...Lol

  • @josie12367 At least you get something productive done while procrastinating, so I suppose it's not *too* bad. Don't get behind in your homework though! ;)
    @nimmle My parents were just at Animal Kingdom last weekend. They said the Pandora rides were fantastic! Long lines though...did you score fast passes? 
    @zamora_spin I found my first four lead clover (at least that I can remember) just a couple of weeks ago and I was SO excited! That's a good takent to have if you're superstitious. :)
    @quiltandknit DH is the same way--he loves to fly by the seat of his pants! We compromise too; I try to leave some spontaneous time open for him. Unless it's a Disney trip, then I get it all planned at least 6 months in advance!

  • @nimmle I went to Epcot and the Animal Kingdom parks (just realized it was like 6 years ago, wow!) and they were both really great. I am not much of a zoo person but the safari part of Animal Kingdom was really neat.

    WAYDTGKU:BBT,CM,OPK,HIO

    R/R: Rainy day good day for house work I guess.

    CS/Q: nope

    GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? Video games I like to think I`m amazing at Call of duty.
  • Month/Cycle: 5/5 AL

    CD: 13

    WAYDTGKU: all the things 

    R/R: getting my haircut today! And colored Monday. I think im going to go purple this time. 

    CS/Q: temp spike this morning without a positive opk...? I typically have a 36 hour LH surge. Maybe a fluke? Maybe related to acupuncture last night? Who knows. 


    GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? 
    Maybe makeup application.... or specifically makeup purchasing? 
  • @catlady1215 ah, perhaps your chart is the reason for my temp spike lol. Maybe it just wants us to remain both cd and dpo buddies  :D
  • @offtoneverland We got a fast pass for the Avatar flight of passage ride. They didn't let you get fast passes for multiple pandora rides so you had to choose 1. Fingers crossed the river boat ride line isn't too long. Otherwise I will go back at a random time to get on it. If anything fingers crossed Irma is keeping people away?
  • @offtoneverland nice work with HIO! i'm impressed.  
    @catlady1215 yay! so glad that little egg held on.  
    @quiltandknit oh your dog sounds so cute.  
    @Augusta108 do you go to concerts a lot?  I have found i'm not a concert person, i can appreciate it but don't really find the need to go to see live music.  (now live theater is way different, i love that)
    @josie12367 Yay! so glad you are out of limbo!  what a frustrating cycle.  and yes to your GIF.  procrastination is my middle name.
    @nimmle nice gif! I love wine too!  and glad Irma's path is looking good for your trip so far.  
    @zamora_spin yay for family time!!  your chart is looking good.
    @Stargazer1lily i hope the sun comes out for you today.
    @doxiemoxie212 purple?! that reminds me of this thing i heard on a podcast this morning how Prince's favorite color was actually orange, not purple.  anyways, hope your chart is more clear soon.  

    Month/Cycle: 18/14

    CD:20

    WAYDTGKU:BBT, PNV, HIO, OPK

    R/R: Last night DH stayed home from the gym and napped after work, i stupidly had expectations that we would HIO since he got to nap and not exercise...we did not and I'm annoyed.  also I couldn't decide if my OPK was as dark or darker yesterday so i kept it as negative yesterday, but we'll see if it's darker tonight and if not i'll mark yesterday as positive.  two cycles ago i had a positive on the 19th but of course i can't remember how dark it was so we'll just see.  we have to HIO tonight or i'll just get frustrated--guess i'll go reread the after dark thread for ideas.  

    CS/Q:  I'm going to start add as much information as possible in FF, which includes CM. I've read the how to check CM thread multiple times, I just still don't get it.  When do you all check CM? in the morning? before bed?  
    GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? um...talking about myself?

  • @blackhottamales CM cooooats my underwear each and every moment of every day so... I just look at my underwear when I pee. 
  • @blackhottamales Sorry to hear about your frustrations last night. I find that it's sometimes to be on the same page about HIO with MH and we aren't super duper about communicating about it. CM, I check once a day, usually during the day or in the evening. If I am getting noticeable CM on my underwear, I will usually check then. TMI, but I have to use my middle finger to feel my cervix.

    edited September 2017
    @blackhottamales I tend to check CM multiple times a day, usually three times (am, afternoon, pm), because it can change throughout the day. eta - FF says to record your most fertile CM, so if it changes you record what is most fertile. But if I also sometimes make notes about the change. 
  • @doxiemoxie212 @jaylii @zamora_spin thank you all for your quick replies.  when i was on BC, i had CM all the time and never had to go searching.  but now i just feel like even though i know so much more, i just have tried a couple times and i feel like i have nothing.  I just need to do it more consistently.  Also i know it's different but seriously it takes me zero time to get wet when we HIO, which is quite unfair because DH sometimes gets lazy and I'm like "excuse me, just because i'm wet doesn't mean i don't need attention..."

    WAYDTGKU: BD, OPK

    R/R:  Rant: Getting worried because my inlaws refuse to evacuate from their home unless they are forced to. Storm is heading straight for them. Rave: AF FINALLY disappeared 2 days ago. Let the Baby dancing begin. 

    CS/Q: I know OPK's can be iffy with PCOS but how accurate are they when taking clomid? 

    GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? Making pinterest boards. I have a board for absolutely everything.

  • @offtoneverland  Yay for yoga!  I am hoping to get to a class next week...this week has been busy.  And also, I love trip planning too!
    @catlady1215  Hope your cat is ok!  What reality shows are your favorite?
    @josie12367  Sorry to see you over here, but glad that your loooong cycle has come to an end.  FX for an ovulatory cycle this month!
    @nimmle  haha I like your sport!  ;)
    @zamora_spin  Have a great time visiting your family?  Do you all have anything special planned?
    @doxiemoxie212  Yay for a hair appt!  How did it turn out?  Also, do you usually have a short surge?  I can sometimes miss mine if I don't check often enough right around O, but I know other gals have longer surges and more than one opk may be positive.
    @blackhottamales  I check cm about the way @doxiemoxie212 does--underwear inspection.
    @StephieBears88  Oooo, pinterest boards are a talent of mine too! haha  I hope your ILs will consider evacuating...that is scary.

    WAYDTGKU: charting/temping (benched)

    R/R:   I'm pretty sure I O'd on CD17...MH isn't home until next week and he's been gone 2 weeks already, so it has been a challenging month just having to wait to try again. :/

    Trying new recipes
  • @jaylii When I have an anovulatory cycle it lasts for months and I have continuous brown spotting. If you're temping you would never notice a temp spike. There aren't many symptoms, it's the lack of periods and symptoms of pms that clue me into it. I typically have two, maybe three cycles on my own per year. Happy seventh anniversary btw!

    @blackhottamales I check cm every time I use the restroom. I have to "sweep" around the entire cervix to draw enough out to judge quality...a quick sweep gets me nothing usually. I only have ewcm maybe two days tops, and one day it's barely there.

    @StephieBears88 I hope your in laws end up leaving...So scary right now to live on the coast.

  • @dukestar5 my LH surge is typically 36 hours. Hair cut looks good! Took two hours tho lol  :#  (better than hair color will be Monday which will be at least 5 hours)

  • @doxiemoxie212 wait? 2 hours and the 5 on Monday? Your patience is impressive. I'm just too lazy for that. #readhairinbraidorbuneveryday 
  • @nimmle the new frozen ride is great. Make sure to get a fastpass for it because the line is crazy. 

    @dukestar5 I love trying new recipes. Just sucks my hubby has the palate of a 10 yr old and won't try many of them with me.

  • @blackhottamales I cut my hair maybe twice a year so that's part of it lol. The color time is unavoidable. Lots of processing time. What can I say? After the pink hair I'm addicted. 
  • @doxiemoxie212 :smiley: i love that! i bet your hair looks amazing.  I got my hair cut in December 2015 and then got it cut last month...
  • @doxiemoxie212 Are you dying your whole head purple? So fun! I got a streak of pink in my hair a while back and loved it, but it washed out so fast, so I gave up on it. 
    @StephieBears88 I didn't get to go on the Frozen ride on my last trip. I was so sad!!! 
    @jaylii YAAASSSS to carbs! My fave!
    @Stargazer1lily MH loves Call of Duty! Do you like watching the live e-sports tournaments?

  • @offtoneverland yea I did pink back in July, now it's mostly out or slightly peach. So purple is next! Like a warm purple tho. :)
  • @nimmle, I was terrified my chronic migraines  would immediately come back full force as soon as I went off birth control! That hasn't been the case but they have been getting more frequent/severe over the past few months...Really hoping they're not going to turn into a problem for TTC. 

    @blackhottamales, I don't go to as many concerts as I used to but I do still enjoy them! I just try to get there early enough now to grab a seat at the back rather than always wanting to be front row center...
  • @doxiemoxie212 my chart is sending your chart subliminal messages ;)

    @dukestar5 I like most! Except none of the housewife ones and Kardashian ones. Survivor, big brother and MTVs the challenge are my top favs probably.

  • Guyyyyssss I just got a positive opk finally and DH is stuck at work, possibly all night. Wahhhh I can't even tell him because he's already like sobbing at his desk from stress I think if he knew I had a positive opk and he couldn't come home he'd slit his wrists. Sigh. EOD timing was seeming so luxurious and nonstressful until this moment lol. 
  • @doxiemoxie212. Maybe set an alarm and surprise DH with early morning?!  You should still hit O that way.  GL!
    @blackhottamales. That's totally how I style my hair too!  Blowing it out or curling it is a super rare occurrence.
  • @dukestar5 lol if only; DH thinks he won't be able to come home.... at all. Like, no sleep, stay up until 24 hours from now. I guess I could go bang him at his office? Not sure I'm there emotionally yet, but maybe. Lol 
  • @doxiemoxie212. Go get it, girl! Lol. Then you would have a really juicy FFFC for us to read. :D. In all seriousness, though, I am sorry and I hope YH can leave the office tonight.
