WAYDTGKU: OPKs, CM, Preseed, PNV, HIO

R/R: went to our library book sale last night and got a ton of books for $20!

For anyone curious from yesterday Aldis was crazy opening day, like out of carts crazy but I lucked out on someone leaving right as I entered. I feel like I got great deals but I still have to go to our normal grocery store today to get a couple things they didn’t have (or I couldn’t find). Time will tell if it’s worth making two stops. Though some of the stuff i think I can just stock up on at our grocery store maybe. 

CS/Q: none yet

WAYDTGKU: HIO for the next couple of days while DH and I are together and hoping for an early O

R/R: Everyone’s good vibes yesterday must have helped because I did get so much done yesterday! I still have some things to do this morning but my flight isn’t until 3 so I think I may pull this off. 

CS/Q:

@shamrocandroll @peppyj9 I never made it back to WTO yesterday but we are going to New Orleans!

bows22

@varimama the 2 stops thing is my issue with aldi too. Do they have a deli?

varimama

@bows22 fx for an early O for you! No our ALDIs doesn’t have a deli which is one of the reasons I have to go to our other store. So yea idk how I could stock up on deli items...

WAYDTGKU: benched. BBT, OPK

R/R: Going to the doctor today... not looking forward to that, but I got to take the whole day off of work for it, so hooray 3 day weekend! Once I’m done at the doctors I may have to have a glass of wine! This week has been hell, so I’m ready for a hot bubble bath and a glass of wine! 

CS/Q: nope. 

@varimama it’s worth the extra stop! Our grocery shopping days are always ALDI, then WalMart. I think we really only get our Dannon yogurt at WalMart, unless ALDI is out of something. 

@bows22 fx for an early o! 

inthewoods23

@varimama glad you got lucky getting a cart! I'm not surprised that opening day would be mobbed!

@bows22 have fun! Hope your O timing is good!

@ejoseph16 definitely relax if you need to!

Month/Cycle: 23

CD: 24

WAYDTGKU: waiting for the next round of BCP before all the IVF meds

R/R: the lady on the pharmacy was great when I asked about pricing. This pharmacy has a couple coupons on the GoodRx website so I think the meds won't cost us an arm AND a leg! Based on comparing the cost through insurance and cost using the GoodRx pricing, we might actually pay less than half the cost using GoodRx than using our insurance. Seems silly but I will take it!

It's going to be a busy work day for me so I might not even have the chance to lurk today 😞

CS/Q: nope

whitealbum29

@varimama - ooh fun! Stocking up on books is the best.

@bows22 - fingers x'd you O early! Have a good flight and have fun in NOLA!

@ejoseph16 - hope the appt goes well and the doctor is helpful! Definitely treat yourself to whatever you want afterwards!!

@inthewoods23 - great news about the meds!

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: Ovia app, cm, prenatals, eod, evening primrose oil, preseed, probably opk's

R/R: Glad it's almost the weekend! We are going to a wrap/cast party for a theater festival SO just directed a show for tonight which should be fun....it doesn't start till like 10pm which makes me feel sleepy to think about but also makes me feel young and cool again? I'll prob take a power nap first haha.

CS/Q: nope

varimama

@ejoseph16 sorry about the dr but yay for day off and relaxing after! @inthewoods23 figuring out medical pricing is such a pain, glad you found a way to save money though! @whitealbum29 hope you have fun at the party! I don’t know the last time I went to something that started that late 😬

varimama

Sorry guys idk why my phone is lumping stuff into paragraphs, it doesn’t look like that before I post... I’ll have to try and figure it out later 🤷🏻‍♀️

WAYDTGKU: Prenatals, BBT, OPK, Ubiquinol

R/R: TGIF. It's been a busy week.

CS/Q: O day might have been yesterday.

@varimama I am still torn about Aldi. They have good products, especially European ones (I am from Europe) but I still prefer Target  Their vegetable chips are the best though. I make a special trip just for them. Much better than the Terra brand.

@bows22 Enjoy NOLA!

@ejoseph16 good luck at your doctor appointment!

@inthewoods23 this is CRAZY re: meds and insurance. I told my H to ask for price with an without insurance now. The savings could be significant.

@whitealbum29 10PM??? 10 years ago it would have been fine. Now I couldn't do it. I would be sleepy.

@varimama That is awesome about the books, I need to start utilizing my library. As for Aldi, I typically always go to multiple places for my groceries. Where I live I alternate between Aldi, Woodman's, Meijer, and Fresh Thyme. Lately I've been using Thrive Market online more too. I need to get better at meal planning/shopping for the week.

@bows22 Yay! Have a safe flight and enjoy your trip. No Aldi doesn't really have a deli. They have some things that you would find in a deli, but not everything.

@ejoseph16 Enjoy your 3 day weekend, I hope you can relax with a bath and wine.

@inthewoods23 Yay for cheaper meds! Sometimes I feel like insurance/conventional medicine is useless.

@whitealbum29 Oh man, 10pm is so late. I am already in bed by then. Have fun!

@rikiteacup Looks promising! Here, Target is so much more expensive than Aldi. However you can find some great cleaner/organic name brand things at Target that are not at Aldi.

R/R: I got a paper cut in the crease of my finger yesterday and it keeps stretching open when I do stuff.
Finally it is supposed to be nice this weekend and not raining. I am going to haul ass to get a bunch of yard work done as our Spring yard waste pick up ends on Monday.

CS/Q:  https://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/5d321c

whitealbum29

@rikiteacup @m6agua Haha agree with both of you. They have to wait till all the plays are done being performed...I'm like, well maybe they could do it before the show?? At like 5??? That would be great for me. It's close by though and we'll prob just stay an hour or so!

ejoseph16

@m6agua that paper cut is in the worst of places! Ugh! Those are the worst, it makes you feel like a giant child, right?! Lol

@varimama my phone did that yesterday. Super annoying. I went back and edited it because it bothered me so much. 

@whitealbum29 you had me at “power nap”! Hahaha! I rock naps when I have to be out late, no shame! 


Thanks all for your support. I’m just hoping I can get some answers on what happened and what we are looking at if I get KU again when we start trying again. I’m a planner, so this whole not being in control thing is throwing me off! 

rikiteacup

@m6agua Target is cheaper for us. I use the Cartwheel app and I have the Target Debit card so I save 5% too. Plus we always get gift cards for stuff we already buy, like buy $25 of cleaning products, get a $5 GC.

Hello, ladies! Super late today, but I wasn't sure what thread I belonged in until AF showed late this morning. I am just glad things finally got started. I hate the waiting between the BFN and CD1.  Happy Friday, all! 🎉

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, temping, OPKs, tracking CM, fertility tea. We have our first consult with the RE on May 23.

emeraldduchess

@varimama yay, books!  What genre did you get?
@bows22 have a wonderful time in New Orleans!
@ejoseph16 I hope your doctor's appointment gave you some closure. So many hugs to you. Enjoy the wine and bubble bath. 💚 
@inthewoods23 that's such a relief about the meds. Hope the day isn't TOO crazy!
@whitealbum29 enjoy the wrap party! Cast parties are always so fun. 
@rikiteacup your timing looks great! 
@m6agua I hope you get nice weather for the weekend, wherever you are. It's been nothing but rain and clouds where I am for the past 2 weeks. We should have some sun tomorrow, though!!

inthewoods23

I made it through the crazy part of the day! I rewarded myself with a tall mocha frappe after lunch 😁

ejoseph16

@emeraldduchess oh my goodness... Celine Dion... I heard it 😂🤣 sorry about CD1! At least you got some wine! I’m about to rock that... I got clearance today to go back to normal, so hellooooooooo wine! I’ve missed you!

R/R: Finally off the bench now that AF is here. Happy to have some control back in my life again.

CS/Q: None.

bows22

Ugh I am the worst at keeping up this week! We have arrived in NOLA and are full of food and drinks and back to the hotel by 8:30....haha at least we will be rested for tomorrow?

@ejoseph16 enjoy your long weekend!

@inthewoods23 that’s awesome that you had such a helpful pharmacist 

@whitealbum29 I feel bad that your night hasn’t even started yet haha. I hope you were able to squeeze in a nap. Have fun!

@rikiteacup I hear you on the busy week! Enjoy your weekend!

@m6agua omg papercuts are the worst. That’s what I thought re: aldi and a deli. That’s what keeps us from going there mostly. But I’ve heard the produce is great so it’s tempting 

@emeraldduchess ugh sorry for CD1

@sorarose hooray for being off the bench!
