Good morning! 

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

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, temping, OPKs, fertility tea, cutting down on alcohol, exercise

R/R: Where did the weekend go?? It's going to be a crazy week at school, but spring vacation is on the horizon!

CS/Q: Huge temp drop this morning but looking back at my other charts it's not unusual. I am pretty sure it's not my O-day temp dive because I have no other signs of O. And thus begins the BSC...

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: Sex EOD and tracking CM

R/R: Last week of crazy hours at work! I am so ready to be done. Everyone is moody and it’s so annoying. 

CS/Q:

@emeraldduchess I agree the weekend went soo fast. It was beautiful here though! Are you going away anywhere during spring break?

misshelen86

@emeraldduchess Hope your week goes quickly too! Do you have any plans for spring vacation?

@bows22 Yay for last week of crazy hours! Makes it hard when there’s so much tension. 

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Ava, CM, OPK, SMEPish, acupuncture

R/R: After a busy weekend at work, I’m going to spend the day relaxing at the spa with my SIL and MIL. I have been feeling pretty stressed lately, so hopefully this helps me recharge!

CS/Q: nope

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: Clomid, OPK's, Ovia, preseed, prenatals

R/R: I'm being such a debbie downer today that I feel it's necessary to put this in a spoiler in case people don't want to deal with my &%$# !!

In case anyone remembers my deluded chirpy hopeful and positive R/R from Friday about how I was excited to be heading into FW...um yeah, I'm in it now and so far it's not going that well. HIO didn't work either day this weekend, I think it was a combination of pressure/anxiety (even though I've been chilled out SO still caught on that it was the important days and I think it got in his head) and also he's just better with EOD rather than two days in a row (we did it Friday which I think may have been a day early). Also I think preseed is um...leaking out after I use it and it's confusing me because it looks like EWCM...or maybe I am actually seeing EWCM in which case I'm probably wrong about when I'm expecting O. Anyway I think next month I might give my brain a break from tracking things and trying to figure out FW and just do our very best to do EOD all month long. In positive news we do still have a couple days I think and we're not mad at each other over this weekend, just both stress cases.

CS/Q: nope

@misshelen86 -- ooh that sounds nice! Have a good spa day!

ruby696

I go here now. Womp womp.

@emeraldduchess I hope your week flies by and spring break starts soon!

@bows22 I'm glad this is your last crazy week. I hope it goes by quickly!

@misshelen86 A spa day sounds wonderful. I hope you have a great time and are able to relax and let go of some of the stress while you're there.

@whitealbum29 How much preseed are you using? We barely use any - never an applicator full. Maybe less would be better?

Month/Cycle: 19/11

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: All the things and then some. Ava, FF, low dose aspirin, 4mg folic acid, Ubiquinol, maca, FSH injections, IUI, no alcohol and decaf.

R/R: I am so tired of rainy weather. It just won't stop. I need mild, sunny spring days!!

CS/Q: Nope

spacemountaineer

@emeraldduchess & @bows22 - I hope this week flies by for you!

@ruby696 - mild sunny spring days sound amazing! We have snow/frozen mix forecasted most of this week. I'm sorry for CD 1

@whitealbum29 - I'm sorry your FW didn't turn out like you hoped. 

Is it just me or does it feel like most of us just don't have much to say this morning?

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD:11

WAYDTGKU: pnv, temping, rhr, FF

R/R: My brother is getting married at the end of the month and I realized I still haven't bought anything to wear. I didn't know if I was going to be pregnant and having to hide first trimester bloat and part of me was hoping to lose weight. I ordered some dresses from amazon and if those don't work I think I've got time to order to order from somewhere else. 

CS/Q: nothing today

whitealbum29

@ruby696 - sorry about CD1! I do think we might be using too much, I'll try way less.

@spacemountaineer - I'm getting snow too! I hope one of your dresses works out.

bows22

@spacemountaineer I agree on the not having much to say. It’s a very Mondayish Monday 

ruby696

@spacemountaineer It could be worse, we could all have lots to complain about, right? So I guess that's a win for Monday?

b_1029

@ruby696 so sorry for CD 1 ❤️❤️

puppylove8910

@whitealbum29 try filling the Pre Seed applicator to either 1.5 or 2. Anything more than that tends to cause a slip and slide effect. Also, I'm sorry your HIO weekend didn't go as planned.

puppylove8910

So very sorry for CD 1 @ruby696

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: Acupuncture 1x/week (Fertile window, 2x/week), PNVs, Pre Seed, CM tracking, BBT & HIO two days on, one day off since I'm not using OPKs

R/R: Oh my gosh! It feels like summer today. What a tease, but I am loving every minute of the warm weather and the sunshine. My FW starts tomorrow so we will begin to HIO two days on, one day off until I confirm O. No OPKs until a few months of trying because they really stress me out. So far I'm feeling relaxed. Hopefully, I stay that way! 

CS/Q:

emeraldduchess

@ruby696 I am so sorry you are back here. 💚  Lots of hugs to you, friend. 
@bows22 hope the work craziness is short-lived! I wish we were going somewhere for spring break, but since it's the same week as Easter, travel is more expensive than usual. Boo. But our wedding anniversary is next week, so we will definitely go out to celebrate!
@misshelen86 I hope that you were completely pampered at the spa today.
@whitealbum29 sorry the ttc stress is getting to you and your H. We went through that last cycle, too.  I hope it gets better and you can chill. So much easier said than done, I know. 
@spacemountaineer I hope you find a cute dress. Please share pics if you can!
@puppylove8910 good luck with timing! 

And I would just like to say HOORAY MONDAY IS ALMOST OVER.
