Re: WTO Tuesday 9/26
CD: 23
WAYDTGKU: HIO, PNV, OPK, Temp
R/R: Rant - Tuesday, Rave - it's not Monday anymore
CS/Q: Slight temp bump this morning above the usual. Yesterday I felt super bloated, cramps and even nauseous (but weird) in the afternoon through my commute home so entirely possible I O'ed. Also possible it means nothing so will still HIO Tonight. Chart in spoiler.
GTKY: **Stolen from TWW** When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now?
When I was a kid I wanted to be a Broadway star. Now I'm a CPA with a musical theater hobby.
Month/Cycle: 4/5
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: PNV, HIO (will have to try to get creative to sneak in some time to HIO during our vacation)
R/R: Nothing I haven't said the past few days...vacation! I'll be offline for a while starting tomorrow and will really really miss you all!
GTKY: I wanted to be a Disney princess at Disneyland. Even went so far as to sign up for some dance classes and such. But then I joined the military and took a completely different path. I was able to use my skills from the military in public affairs in order to get a job in the editing field. I'm definitely glad that I'm not a princess at Disneyland. I am not cut out for that kind of work lol.

WAYDTGKU:nothing right now
R/R: Nothing new
GTKY: **Stolen from TWW** When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now?
A singer. I work for a county government. The thing is I'm ok, but not even a great singer, so my dreams were bound to be crushed
@nimmle sound promising for O!! I often get a few days of nausea around O as well (I've googled it many times, apparently it is a common O symptom)... makes me scared for actual KU nausea!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 19
WAYDTGKU: All the acronyms
R/R: I woke up this morning and thought it was Sunday for a split second... so disappointing.
CS/Q: Pretty sure I'm O'ing right now, as I type. Sharp pain in my right ovary and super bloated before any food/water this morning. I guess only temps will tell tomorrow...*FX* TB is 'over capacity' right now so can't upload any chart pics.
GTKY: **Stolen from TWW** When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now? I wanted to be a choreographer!! Now I work in public health and social policy (shrug) - funny how our passions change.
CD:23
WAYDTGKU:BBT,CM,OPK,HIO
R/R: I had a hard time getting on the bump today, it kept saying it was over capacity.
CS/Q:nope
GTKY: **Stolen from TWW** When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now?
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: All the basics, starting OPKs today.
R/R: This Tuesday is feeling awfully Mondayish.
CS/Q:
GTKY: I had a lot of things I wanted to be growing up. A vet, a figure skater who was somehow also a SAHM to like 12 kids, a stables owner, a psychologist, it goes on and on. The common thread was always that I wanted to be my own boss, which I am now. I have my own home staging business.
@nimmle those are interesting symptoms. What did your OPK say? Do you have a good local theater nearby?
@offtoneverland I've heard being one of the princesses is actually really difficult! And probably insanely hot during the summer.
@mylitta Do you enjoy doing karaoke?
@offtoneverland I auditioned to be a character at Disney world when I was in college but I'm an odd height, too tall to be a princess, mouse or most animals and too short to be Goofy or Captain Hook.
@Mylitta hopefully AF isn't being a B. Treat yourself!
@canucklehead123 come on little egg!! FX for your O
@Stargazer1lily what kind of photography do you do?
@SkilledSailor home staging would be so fun! Do you have like a stock pile of furniture and decor?
I'm going to hang out here for maybe one more day to confirm O.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: HIO, PNV, OPKs, and trying to drink more water
R/R: rave-the highway I take for work has been under construction forever and they just opened it up today so my commute wasn't awful.
CS/Q: my temps are all over the place. I discarded a few that were super high and definitely inaccurate based on my sleep or the time they were taken. I was playing with it and if my temps continue to rise then FF gives me CH for CD 16.
GTKY: **Stolen from TWW** When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now? First I wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon. Then I wanted to be a Forensic Pathologist, I really liked watching CSI and wanted to be the person in the lab testing everything. Now I'm a Financial Analyst.
WTF is with the over capacity messages that keep popping up. That must be why it is so quiet this morning.

@offtoneverland So this is a lifelong love of all things Disney?
@Mylitta Do you still sing at all?
@canucklehead123 Your work day sounds way more fun than mine! Also I totally thought today was Thursday. Disappointment all around. I'm glad I'm not the only one getting the "over capacity" message. Wtf ttgp!

Month/Cycle: 7/7
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opks, pnvs, ubiquinol, green tea, acupuncture
R/R: rant - the cat fell in the bathtub this morning and dried himself off on our bed. Sigh. Also, MH is super stressed over work and not enjoying his job at all right now. I'm really hoping things get easier once he's through this first semester. rave - I don't have to be in to work until 11! I'll probably head in earlier, but it's nice having the flexibility.
CS/Q: Temps continuing up, so I'm 99.9% sure I O'd on Sunday. Staying here till I get crosshairs and because I don't feel like starting the TWW thread this morning. Why is it so dead over there??? Chart in spoiler for stalking.
GTKY: **Stolen from TWW** When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now?
I changed my mind a lot, but most consistently I wanted to be an artist or an architect (neither of which I was very good at). I'm a psychology professor, but I married an artist.
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: All the things
R/R: Rave- Got so much done in my garden, and mowed the lawn. About to plant the bulbs for next year next week. Nothing too much today...
CS/Q: Blah...
GTKY: Jockey, vet, farrier, emergency room doc...Right now I'm a SAHM, but also a radiologic technologist. I hope to get another certification in t the next year. We'll see.
I'll be back for tags tonight. Off to the grocery store to get dinner right now!
@darkstar42.
@krashke. Hope you come play in TWW soon!
@josie12367 what's for dinner? Way to be productive today!!
@offtoneverland. What princess did you want to be? I had an obsession with Ariel and then Jasmine.
@offtoneverland love your getting to know you
@mylittathat's cool you work for your county!
@canucklehead123 TB has been killing me! You know I love a good chart stalk
@stargazer1lily Ditto on the over capacity. Hoping they are updating their platform since it sux on a normal day
@SkilledSailor lo.. your lineup of jobs is like basically my whole set of barbies growing up!
@krashke are your temps normally pretty high before o? If your temps are just off this month (sometimes can even happen when your thermometer battery is running down) you can reset FF to go by OPK's or by CF and exclude temps are the primary determiner
@darkstar42 I think Sunday O looks perfect!! So sorry your DH is stressed about work
@josie12367 looks like your CF went back to EW yesterday...hoping today is the o day!
AFM: I took off acupuncture last cycle because I thought it was going to feel like an extra burden what with doing a cycle at a new clinic.... by retrieval I felt like I could have really used the support so I'm going back for treatment starting tomorrow...

WAYDTGKU: prep for ivf
R/R: nope
CS/Q: nah
GTKY: **Stolen from TWW** When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now? Superhero - team coordinator at a private wealth mgmt. co.
CD:8
WAYDTGKU:pnv, temping,
R/R: Rant: I felt so bad leaving the house the last two days. Between DH being gone (he'll be home tonight) and moving all of the furniture out of the living room, our doxies have looked so sad when I've left. I think they think we're abandoning them. It's breaking my heart. I'm sure they are fine but it gives me a bunch of guilt when I leave. I wasn't even a pet person before I met DH and now I consider staying home from work because they look sad. Lol What happened to me???? Rave: my Manager approved OT this week so.... $$$
CS/Q:
GTKY: When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now?
I wanted to be rich lol I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do. Clothing designer, interior decorator. If I'm being really honest I wanted to be a rich stay at home mom, which is hilarious because now that DH wants me to stay home I don't want to give up my job. (even when I hate it some days) Still not rich but we'd be ok if I didn't work. I really like having my own money even if it's not a lot. I work in AR/AP - finance.
I feel like my theme today was old self vs new self lol
@offtoneverland I've have the bloating and cramping but never the nausea. So that's why I wonder if my body is gearing up for O or if it was happening. I've been very symptom free this cycle.
@canucklehead123 Yeah I've never had nausea around this time before so it was a new one for me. Probably shifting hormones.
@SkilledSailor Just did a wondfo 30 mins ago and it's definitely positive (darker than control). So if I was wondering if it was every a + I know what it looks like now. CBAD still not peak this morning. Maybe it will hit peak tomorrow morning, but if not I think I'm done with those for this cycle.
@krashke If my wonfo is correct 30 mins ago I should still HIO tonight so yeahhhhh buddy. I leave for KY on Thursday so will prob HIO tonight and tomorrow night since I won't see MH for a week and will have to tide him over.
@darkstar42 Yes! I did get in the show, but unfortunately with the news of my dad I had to drop out. The rehearsals only last for about 2 months and with tech week and the shows coming up in early November I don't know how everything is going to play out. I spoke with the founder and he said that I can be in another show in the future so don't have to worry about not having future opportunity.
@offtoneverlandHave fun on your vacation!
@canucklehead123Have fun in the wilderness! I sometimes go out in the field for my work and always thought it was a nice break from my desk.
@Stargazer1lily**sending you creepy internet hugs**
@SkilledSailorGood for you for always wanting to be your own boss.
@krashkeFX you O's yesterday!
@darkstar42Yay for not having to go into work early! Flexibility is awesome.
@josie12367 Want kind of bulbs do you plant for next year?
@Mylitta Everyone is a singer
@canucklehead123 Ugh I hate waking up and thinking it's a different day. Happens too often. FX that you are O'ing. Also, love how many creative type we have here. Do you take any dance classes or anything?
@Stargazer1lily That's so cool that you are a photographer! What types of photography do you do?
@SkilledSailor That's so great that you get to be your own boss
@krashke Hooray for the construction being completed on the highway! We have so much around me that I hope it's done soon. I'm also with you on the various careers, it took me awhile to settle into accounting.
@darkstar42 FX that you get your CH soon! Things are "Looking up" and your timing looks great.
@josie12367 Sounds like a great day of gardening. I'm sure it looks fab.
@Stargazer1lily What kind of things do you photograph? Do you do weddings and all that? Or nature?
@SkilledSailor love all your childhood goals.
@krashke that's cool that you tried out to be a character! Too bad your height didn't work out though.
@darkstar42 lol yes, I've always been obsessed with Disney!! Sorry about YH feeling stressed right now. Is there anything you can do to cheer him up, or does he prefer to have some alone time?
@josie12367 You've been so productive today! Good for you. What kind of bulbs are you planting?
@dragonette505 I'm glad you made another acupuncture appointment. I hope it makes you feel good and you get the support you need.
@jrm_14 all the princesses! Lol but probably Belle. She is my fave since she loves reading.
@galactickates Yay for OT! What will you do with the extra $$$?
@nimmle sorry you had to drop out of the show. It's good that you'll be able to easily sign up for another show in the future. Hopefully it'll be an even better one!

@stargazer1lily What kind of photography do you do?
@SkilledSailor Did you ever do any figure skating? I can barely skate forwards without falling over.
@krashke Glad your commute eased up! Both the bridges I can take to get to work have been under construction for a while now. The only good thing about winter coming is an end to road construction season!
@josie12367 Love that you got all that yard work done! I’m so impressed.
@jrm_14 I’ll join you in TWW tomorrow! This is MH’s first year teaching at a new school, so he’s having to do a ton of extra work that hopefully will ease up next semester. Fx it gets easier. He’s also teaching courses he’s never taught before, so he worries the administration won’t like how he’s doing it and won’t renew his contract. I think he’s worrying too much, but oh well.
@dragonette505 I hear you on the acupuncture. Sometimes it seems like a lot of extra work to get to appointments and pay for another thing, but the support is so helpful to my mental well-being. What super powers did you want?
@galactickates Pets can make it so hard to leave the house! When the cats snuggle on my lap it’s so hard to get up and leave.
@nimmle I’m sorry that being in the show didn’t work out this time, but I hope you can do one in the future! How are you doing right now with the news about your dad?
@ChloandCoco I lol’d at “ute juice.” Sounds so appetizing!
@offtoneverland He’s finding that going to the gym actually helps, so that’s good.
Edit: Also, just 2 more days of HIO and then I can concentrate on my Dad.
@nimmle I'm sorry to hear about your dad. *hugs*
@krashke Yes, I have an ever growing stock of furniture and decor. It's getting to be quite the production. Glad your commute was better today! I'm sure that was a much better start to the day.
@darkstar42 I did figure skating for a few years. I loved it but had a mean coach and the training hours are pretty brutal. I still enjoy going skating when I can. It does look like you O'd and you have great timing! FX this is your cycle!
@josie12367 What bulbs are you planting?
@dragonette505 Haha it does sound a lot like Barbie's various careers. How did you like the new clinic? Y'all are making me very interested in acupuncture.
@galactickates I use to want to be a SAHM too. Then I was a full-time nanny for a few years and quickly changed my mind about that. I'm with you on earning my own money and having my own goals. Would you ever work part-time instead? A happy medium, perhaps?
@nimmle Maybe you'll peak tomorrow? Either way, sounds like you're finally about out of WTO. FX for you and the TWW!
@chloandcoco Haha yes to ute juice! That sounds like a lovely start to your morning. What do you like about the coffee shop?
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: Letrozole (7.5mg CD 3-7), LH blood tests (CD 11&12), IUI #3 scheduled for tomorrow
R/R: I surged on my own!!! My doc wanted my numbers to be over 20 and mine was 40.1! We go in tomorrow at 10am for our 3rd IUI. The timing is perfect and has far too many familial coincidences that would make this month ideal and amazing and all of the stars aligning.
GTKY: **Stolen from TWW** When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? What do you do now? I wanted to be a teacher! I am not a teacher. Now I manage a large customer service team. It's sometimes like dealing with kids....
Married: May 2013
TTC #1 Since: June 2013
IUI 1-6: BFN
IUI 7: TWW
@offtoneverland YGPM, and/also i'm planting Tulips! Have a super fun time on your trip! I love that you wanted to be a Disney princess
@mylitta My sister wanted to be a singer too. She would spend hours practicing...It was torture for us all...lol.
@canucklehead123 Hope you get that temp rise!
@Stargazer1lily I absolutely love that photo you posted!
@skilledsailor Tulips! That's so awesome that you own your own business. How many homes do you have to stage in say a week?
@krashke FX for one more high temp tomorrow for you!
@darkstar42 Good luck in the TWW! Your timing is awesome!
@jrm_14 TACOS!!
@dragonette505 YEA for two lil' embys!
@galactickates Poor puppies...dogs always know when something is up
@chloandcoco I'm planting tulips. Hoping they come up nicely next year! That's awesome that your DH wanted to get into the charts and the nitty gritty of TTC
@luckypandas Good luck tomorrow on your IUI tomorrow! FX for you!
@nimmle I take ballet classes - but my studio moved locations and I'm finding it more difficult to attend regularly now.
Took a few day hiatus--work has been insane!
Month/cycle: 3/3
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: grapefruit juice, opk, husband taking vitamins, bought preseed today. Not sure if I will use it.
R/R: I got my positive opk 6 days earlier than expected!! I've been O'ing on CD 20 usually. Rant- I just bought my favorite beer at the store and now I can't drink it for my tww.
CS/Q: The last two cycles we BD on the day of & after the positive opk. This month we were going to do smep, but now we don't have time. We BD on Sunday.
Obviously we will BD tonight, but should we do tomorrow or the day after? It's been difficult for my husband to reload the next day, but I don't want to miss this chance.
GTKY: I think I wanted to be a teacher. I know I always wanted to work with kids. In high school & early college I wanted to be a pediatrician. Then I found out I would have to rotate in a hospital with blood & I changed quickly. Now I am a special ed administrator, but am a school psychologist by background.
@luckypandas yay for surging in your own!
I read all the other posts, but I am going cross eyed trying to scan, respond & tag. Interesting to read how our career decisions change!
@josie12367 Oh I love tulips! I swear they radiate happiness. I need to do 2 vacant stagings and 2 consultations a month to break even on business costs. Anything more is profit. I've been averaging 5-6 vacant stagings (6 is my max with current inventory) and 2-4 consults/styling clients a month lately which has been awesome!
@SkilledSailor @darkstar42 I do enjoy karaoke, but it's mostly like @nimmle said, we're all singers. Its mostly at home and at random. Especially when cooking, baking, or cleaning. I also may or may not randomly dance around the house to full songs with spur of the moment choreography.
@krashke Thanks. Its not too bad, and normally pretty short, so only another day or two. I'm glad too because I had terrible periods throughout teenage years.
I love it when construction opens up... its like a brand new start. At last until everyone else finds out it's open.
@dragonette505 Yeah. The politics are not as much fun, but I enjoy it. And I love your gtky answer. Who wouldn't want too be a superhero?
@Stargazer1lily That picture is gorgeous!
@canucklehead123 @dragonette505 I so wish I could dance ballet. When I decided I wanted to be a Disney princess at 16 years old, I signed up for ballet classes. It was kind of mortifying being in a class full of 10 year olds. Lol. I did one season and quit!
@josie12367 tulips are the best! They come back year after year no matter what. I hate gardening so lazy plants are my jam!
@SkilledSailor your business sounds like a ton of fun! I'm sure it's really hard work too.
@dragonette505 Yay for your frozen embies, but that's disappointing that you didn't get as many as you expected. Will you be doing another round to get more? I started doing yoga recently and have been really enjoying the quiet relaxation time. So rare, like you said.
@Stargazer1lily that photo is gorgeous! Really amazing work.
@ChloandCoco hooray that YH was interested in your chart! My DH is not that interested in knowing how it all works lol.
