Good morning, ladies! 

Month/Cycle: 9/8 (third cycle AL)

CD: 5. Time to pack up and go, AF. You've overstayed your welcome. 

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, temping, OPKs, fertility tea, cutting down on alcohol. Calling the RE today. I am really nervous about that one. 

R/R: My new fertility tea should be delivered today and I am looking forward to trying it. I hope it tastes good, I was getting sick of red raspberry leaf tea. 

CS/Q: Splash Mountain style drop this morning. I was absolutely freezing when I woke up, so I am not surprised.

holly321

@emeraldduchess hope your tea tastes good, what’s in it?

Month/Cycle: 27/4 A/L

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: hio, opks and temping

R/R: my thermometer battery is dying, it better work until I confirm O!  Also, I haven’t O’ed this late in a really long time.  Today is my 3rd day of positive opks, so hopefully today is the day.  No one feels well at my house so sex last night was forced and will probably be the same today.


CS/Q:

bows22

@holly321 do you think your thermometer could be favoring temps since it’s dying? Not that I think you O’d yet since you are still getting + OPKs but I know that can sometimes happen. 

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Sex EOD and tracking CM

R/R: out of town for work and the hotel is right next to where we are working so it’s amazing to sleep in!

Month/Cycle: 5 AL

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: OPK, BBT, PNV, Ubiquinol

R/R: The last two weeks, I havent focused on all things TTC like I have been.  It's been nice to not obsess, but I feel like I have fallen off a lot of the healthy stuff I have been doing too.  So I need to get back on my game. I should O within the next few days.

CS/Q: nada

holly321

@bows22 it is definitely favoring temps, it has always done that.  I take my temp 3 times each morning to try and get it to be accurate.  

emeraldduchess

@holly321 it's called "Moontime Tea" and it has red raspberry leaves, red clover, peppermint leaves and nettle.  It probably won't taste much different than red raspberry leaf or peppermint tea.  Last cycle DH and I were both sick during my FW so I totally get how not-fun HIO probably is for you right now. Feel better soon!
@kerco925 good luck getting back on track!  Glad you were able to hop off the ttc crazy train for a while, though.
@bows22 yay for sleeping in! 

chichiphin

@bows22 jealous that you get to sleep in - enjoy it!
@kerco925 I'm glad you got to take a mental break from TTC. 
@holly321 I vote that you actually O'd yesterday.... but that is just a hunch. 
@emeraldduchess oooh I think I have tried that moontime tea!! I think I liked it?

Month/Cycle: 9/ 1AL

CD: still here? benched. maybe experiencing AF or the spotting work-up to AF?

WAYDTGKU: temping. RE appt on April 19 to game plan next steps. 

R/R: Feeling meh. I think I have pushed myself too hard at the gym in an effort to get back to my old size - leading to aches haha. Gonna take a rest day today so I'm hoping that helps! 

CS/Q: nah. 

kbrown2385

@chichiphin enjoy your rest day! 

@kerco925 glad you’ve been able to have a little bit of time to relax on ttc. It’s refreshing to do every once in awhile.

@bows22 glad you are able to sleep in!

@holly321 oh geez, hope your thermometer makes it through! Sorry no one is feeling good!

@emeraldduchess good luck with the call today. I know it’s nerve wracking to make the jump. Let us know how the tea is! I need to look into it more.


Month/Cycle: 28/2 AL

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: tempdrop, opk, metformin, ubiquinol, vit c,d,e, pnv, ff, progesterone, inositol, ww, low carb, probably more I can’t remember because there is so much. 

R/R: It’s going to be a nice relaxing day. Rainy and cold so I’ll be able to catch up on laundry and cleaning the house. 

CS/Q: really loving how nice tempdrop has my chart looking 

madcouplewithabox

@emeraldduchess I got FertiliTEA from amazon and love mine:) might have to try yours though. 



Month/Cycle: 5

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: fertiliTEA, OvuSense temping, Maca, opks, 

R/R: back from my trip to the middle of nowhere and have service again! 

CS/Q: missed three days of temps while out of town, but had +OPK two days ago. Hoping to get some temp rises to confirm soon.

justkeepswimming8

I decided I'm going to start jumping into the dailies now that I'm going to start pinpointing O better. 

Month/Cycle: 3

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, CP, HIO during EWCM, OPKs, RHR, maybe BBT haven’t decided yet.

R/R: I was pretty blindsided by AF last night. Last cycle I only tracked CM and CP and it looks like I only had a 10-day LP. I’m definitely going to use OPKs this cycle and maybe I’ve just been having EWCM after O…? Hopefully. I had a lot of EWCM during the TWW this last cycle.

The weather is going to be nice today so looks like my run will be outside. YAY!

CS/Q: Nothing to see yet

@emeraldduchess – GTFO AF! Good luck with the call into the RE today.

@holly321 – FX for O soon and before your thermometer dies.

@bows22 – sleeping in on a weekday is the best!

@kerco925 – that's nice that you have been able to relax about TTC things over the last two weeks. It’s really hard not to obsess even when you try not to.

@chichiphin – enjoy your rest day! Maybe some stretching/yoga and/or a warm bath will help with aches also.

@kbrown2385 – enjoy your relaxing day of… cleaning? LOL cleaning is not very relaxing to me so if I was in your shoes, I’d be binging T.V.

@madcouplewithabox – welcome back to civilization! 

rikiteacup

Today is O day! If this cycle works, we should get a baby for Christmas. Also, last chance for 2019.

Month/Cycle: 12/12

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: BBT, Prenatals, OPK, Ubiquinol

R/R: I went home during lunch yesterday because I needed to get my Fitbit charger and I kinda liked it. My cat was super happy to see me and wanted to cuddle. I am thinking this might happen more often. Just going home and chilling for 30 mins was a huge morale boost. The only problem is that I don't get my 3K steps 

CS/Q:  blazing + OPK yesterday 

kbrown2385

@justkeepswimming8 relaxing because I’m not running all over the place today lol. And let’s be honest, the load of laundry I put in when I woke up this morning will sit in the dryer for a few days and I might put last nights dishes in the dishwasher. Other than that I’ll be catching up on real housewives 😆

rikiteacup

@emeraldduchess I should drink my fertility tea. This would be good for my condition (asthma). If only it could taste like raspberries instead of leaves 

@holly321 I hope you guys feel better. Once you've been TTC for a long time, sex will often feel forced lol.

@bows22 enjoy sleeping in! 

@kerco925 don't feel too bad. A lot of people don't do anything and it still works.

@chichiphin you need a good deep massage to get the lactic acid out! My H didn't believe me but he saw the light  It hurts for 2 mins and then you feel better.

@kbrown2385 this is a nice looking chart. I also like how your HRH is following your temps.

@madcouplewithabox hope O is confirmed soon.

emeraldduchess

@rikiteacup the red raspberry leaf tea does start to taste like hot grass clipping water after a while. That's why I have to sweeten it with a packet of raw sugar. Yay for positive OPKs! FX for you.
@justkeepswimming8 sorry AF blindsided you. I hate when that happens.
@madcouplewithabox I hope O is confirmed soon!
@kbrown2385 enjoy your relaxing day! 
@chichiphin definitely listen to your body and take a rest day. Now I need to listen to mine and stop eating chocolate...

whitealbum29

@emeraldduchess - I hope the call with RE goes well!

@holly321 - ugh sorry you're all sick! That is the worst during FW.

@rikiteacup - that at home break does sound nice and refreshing!

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: HIO EOD (ideally...), Ovia, Clomid, OPK's, prenatals, pre-seed starting this cycle

R/R: It's supposed to maybe snow tomorrow (haha half my rants are about the fact that I willingly moved to a state known for brutal long winters). Our office manager just stocked the kitchen with a bunch of snacks so I've been inhaling Triscuits all morning, mmm.

CS/Q: nope

spacemountaineer

@emeraldduchess - I like your splash mountain metaphor.

@holly321 - I hope your thermometer holds out for you.

@rikiteacup - FX for you! 

@chichiphin - enjoy your rest day!

@justkeepswimming8 - enjoy your run!

@whitealbum29 - I hope you don't get snow! I'm ready for days consistently with highs in the 50's.

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: FF, PNV, OPK's, BBT, RHR

R/R: Rant: I'm super tired from little sleep on Sunday night. Rave: Made it back to the gym last night for the first time in a few weeks. 
 
CS/Q: Nothing today. 

emeraldduchess

@spacemountaineer I tend to compare my charts to Disney rides because right now that's as close as I will get to a trip to WDW. 🤣 

rikiteacup

@spacemountaineer great job going back to the gym. This is hard.

@whitealbum29 sorry about snow. Unless you live in the mountains, snow needs to be gone.

holly321

@chichiphin enjoy your rest day!  I really need to get back to working out.  And I think you are right and I o’ed yesterday, but I am going to hio tonight just in case.  I took another opk and it is negative now, so I will take that as a good sign!
@kbrown2385 I hope you enjoyed your day!
@rikiteacup I used to have time to go home for lunch sometimes and I loved it!  
We miraculously are usually able to keep sex from not feeling too forced, but last night definitely was.  I promised dh to make it sexier this evening, haha.
