WAYDTGKU: Waiting and Waiting
 
R/R: Ugh...Hoping that I'll get a temp spike tomorrow. We didn't have sex last night as we were both exhausted, but hopefully we will tonight. I did one opk earlier this afternoon and it was only as dark as the control, so I'm pleading with the fertility gods here that they go negative, and I ovulate already. This is day five of my opk saga...lol.

GTKY:  That I am kind

@josie12367 I hope you are able to get some clear signs from your temping soon! How frustrating!!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, BD every other day, lots of water, daily light exercise, no processed sugar. AF is gone (whoop!), so I am gearing up for FW!
 
R/R: Rant: It was close to 70 degrees yesterday, this morning it's in the mid-20's. My allergies are acting up from the rapidly changing temperatures outside. I HATE IT! Our seasons change daily and it's so annoying having to change my A.C. and heater back and forth. Especially when I had A.C. on the previous day and I forget to put heater on before going to bed and I wake up to low 60's inside the house because it's 20 degrees out. You would think I would learn and look at the weather forecast before I go to bed.  Rave: We were able to make rent this month, so that's good right?

CS/Q: My BBT should be arriving via Amazon tomorrow, is it okay that I use a regular therm and input that in FF this morning and tomorrow then start using BBT Wednesday, or should I just wait and start temping Wednesday morning with my BBT? (I did take down my temp this morning in case I wanted to add it to the chart). Basically it would only be 2 days with a reg therm and the rest of the time with the BBT.

GTKY: If you had to be known for one thing, what would you want it to be? I would probably be known for my love of animals.

WAYDTGKU: Praying to the old gods and the new
 
R/R: I feel like “winter is coming” with more snow, ice and chilly temps expected this week. Yet it’s February and I would like to think of Spring! I was gifted lots of daffodils but I can’t plant them outside as these temps would kill them for sure. 
Also soooooooo much to do with trying to get sorted with the new clinic, local monitoring, referrals to more doctors for more things, legal issues, thesis to write and normal work and life to fit in. 
Then again I cannot say I’m bored!!!!!!!

CS/Q: Temps still really high. No idea what’s going on as I don’t feel sick. Just having issues with some low blood sugar during the daytimes. If I didn’t know better I would POAS lol 

GTKY: If you had to be known for one thing, what would you want it to be? Making a positive difference. 

@josie12367 I’ll pray you ovulate too so you can take a rest! 

kristah2

@josie12367 holy moly you are having a rough go with the OPK's this month! Hoping they go negative for you and you can move on to TWW!
@Whitmore1027 yay for getting your BBT this week!!
@emmasemm I am also so ready for spring. Good luck with the new clinic!

Sorry for being a ghost this weekend.

WAYDTGKU: PNV's and waiting for FW
 
R/R: I'm all alone in the office today. Both a rant and a rave. I'm smothered with a head cold so at least I don't gross anyone out with all my tissues. DH wants to take a little step back with TTC. he's a bit overwhelmed with me planning FW so much and he wants to let it happen naturally. It didn't really help with explaining to him the small window open but he is 100% against BBT. So I'll keep OPKs a secret for now and hope it works out. 

CS/Q: When do you pom users start drinking it? When AF leaves or during FW?

GTKY: If you had to be known for one thing, what would you want it to be? Being dedicated to my family.

Whitmore1027

@emmasemm I LOVE YOUR GoT REFERENCES!!! YES! I hope everything you have to do for the new clinic goes smoothly for you!
@kristah2 I always loved being the only one in the office when I was working. I felt less anxious. Haha, but then again, I was lazier. Why is YH against BBT? I pretty much asked MH if he was okay with it, but he never really answered, so I was like. Okay, whatever I'm gonna do it, it doesn't really involve you anyway. haha.
@Stargazer1lily Yay for animals!

R/R: I had a wonderful weekend.  Pats lost the super bowl so there were lots of victory shots all around last night. We had a great time up in Seattle.  Rant: super tired.we didn't get home until after 1am and H wanted to HIO even with the threat of another black eye  up at 6:30.... I'm a zombie this morning

@kristah2 - sorry YH is being a butthead about temping. sometimes the stress and anxiety gets to them, too. Keep doing what you can on the sly, but sometimes sharing less with them is better. You can still get all your data, etc. but it's more "organic" for him, so to speak. TTC gets very unromantic very fast and it's unfortunately a giant buzzkill. DH is very fortunately OK with temping and OPK's, but I know it's been super stressful for others to contend with H's opinions on the subject. I hope he comes around, or you can find a solution to make doing these things more palatable for him!

kristah2

@catlady2015 - thanks for that, I needed that today. You're absolutely right, he's starting to find it stressful and unromantic. It's not fair to him. I think I'll stop sharing as much with him. I'll keep the OPK's to myself post work and just try to work my charm when its + and I'll hold off on BBT for now. He did buy me POM juice at the grocery store so he's not totttalllyy against everything so I'll just take what I can get and keep the science of it out of the bedroom for now.

catlady2015

@kristah2 - hugs, lady! know it's difficult. PM me if you ever wanna talk. 

offtoneverland

@Whitmore1027 No, you don't want to use 2 different thermometers. Just stick with the temps from your new one once you get it. 
@emmasemm Good luck getting everything planned. I'll be thinking of you!
@Stargazer1lily Did you go jogging today or did you skip it?
@kristah2 Sorry about YH. I would just keep it all on the DL so he doesn't know. I hardly ever tell MH when it's FW (but I think he can usually tell since I'm more frisky!  ) so maybe it would be better if you just didn't say anything to him about it? I'm sorry you're not on the same page though. About FW, you want to drink it during the follicular phase, so from AF through O. You can drink it after O, but it doesn't do anything (supposedly).
@galactickates So glad you had a fun weekend and that YH isn't scared of you! lol
@josie12367 I'm hoping and praying for your temp rise tomorrow!


AFM: Positive OPK today so drinking lots of wine tonight as it always gets me in the mood. I'll skip my update tonight since TTGP hasn't been very active lately in the evening! 

suzycupcake

@josie12367 urrrrgh, that's the worst when there are multiple days of +opk. Sorry. 

@galactickates Yea rub it in. Lol! I'm really happy for the Eagles and fans. They really deserved that win because they worked so hard. I'm glad they finally won a Super Bowl.

@offtoneverland and @catlady2015 Great advice about keeping a lid on it with our husbands. It's stressful enough ttgp. I know for MH, it stresses him out more if I'm constantly talking about it. I found that when I stopped and the longer we didn't conceive, he started asking more questions to learn about it. He realized that it takes more than just having sex. 

@offtoneverland Yay for your opk! Get your freak on girrrrrl. I will be lurking in TWW when a lot of you go in there because it'll probably be before me.

WAYDTGKU: femara, hcg, iui, sex, calm
 
R/R: This weekend was not calm. Did way too much to prepare for that party. I'm bummed that I allowed that to happen.

CS/Q: Nope

GTKY: If you had to be known for one thing, what would you want it to be? idgaf . . . That's just how I feel today. I took the day off of work to stuff my face and veg out. I feel sad. Maybe it's the femara. I think a combo between that and grief.

Stargazer1lily

@offtoneverland I skipped it I went snowshoeing instead.

Super late to the WTO party today...stupid work
@josie12367  FX you O soon! 
@Whitmore1027  where are you located that the temperature varies so much?? Wow! Also, I’ve used a regular thermometer before when I didn’t have my BBT handy, I haven’t noticed this throwing my temps off too much.
@emmasemm  more snow here too, I’m over it.
@kristah2  my DH doesn’t know I temp, I don’t hide it from him but I just don’t do it in front of him. I don’t temp in bed, I have my BBT in my bathroom and take it first thing when I get up. I know they say to take it before you move but in the past few months I don’t think this has affected my chart. My temp changes align with OPKs and ovulation pain so I think it’s pretty accurate for me. I’m not trying to tell you to do it if your H doesn’t want you too but just sharing my story


Month/Cycle: 6/7

WAYDTGKU: HIO, starting temps tomorrow, OPKs later this week
 
R/R: rant - it’s snowing a lot here today, race - I might get a snow day tomorrow (I’ll still work from home but at least I won’t have to wear real pants)

CS/Q: nope

Whitmore1027

@nmbrcrnchr1 I live in North Texas. Haha. 

My husband is mad because he has to leave the house with a thick jacket in the morning  but doesn't need it in the afternoons and he leaves them all in the car. Then the next morning he has no coats because they are all still in his car. Hahaha.
