Good morning, ladies!

Month/Cycle: 10/9 (fourth cycle AL)

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Prenatal vitamins, Fertility Friend, fertility tea, OPKs, first appointment with RE on the 23rd.

R/R: Kermit says it all this morning. 

On the bright side, it's Teacher Appreciation Week, so there will be lots of goodies in the staff room. 🍓🥐🍩🍪☕

CS/Q: Nah. I had a glass or two of wine each night this weekend, so I think that explains the temp rises.

Month/Cycle: 5/1 AL

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: benched this month... BBT, OPK until I’m off the bench

R/R: back to work 😩 this weekend went way too fast, I have a paper to write for my masters degree class that I haven’t even started and is due at midnight... stressed to the core. But, teacher appreciation week is this week. And MH is currently cutting out things I laminated for school today. He’s a good teacher husband ❤️

CS/Q: nope. My chart is super weird AL. I can’t wait to have a normal looking chart again. 

ejoseph16

@emeraldduchess you and I are similar in rants and raves... lol. Hooray for teacher appreciation. I’m not expecting much if I’m being honest. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m in a new district this year, so I’m not sure what to expect. 

emeraldduchess

@ejoseph16 it varies from year to year at my school, too. We had a lunch on Friday, but usually we have some families send in things like bagels, cookies, etc.
That's sweet that your DH helps you. My DH is also a teacher (different grade, different school) so needless to say, we spend a lot of time sitting on the couch together grading papers!

varimama

@emeraldduchess I’m feeling like Kermit too today! Enjoy all the goodies!

@ejoseph16 that’s so sweet of your H helping you out! 

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: OPK, CM, pre seed, PNV

R/R: This weekend pretty much sucked and I know next weekend is going to be rough too so I’ve really got nothing to look forward to for a while and it’s bumming me out today. Trying to just take it one day at a time. (This weekend we had to see my parents and I don’t have a good relationship with them so it was rough. Next weekend is with the ILs which I love but the timing of everything is really crappy so it’s going to be a pain.) 

CS/Q:none

Month/Cycle: 6/6

WAYDTGKU: calling the RE for an appointment today

R/R: I chickened out of calling last week because I wanted to make sure I was onto cycle 6. 

CS/Q: sigh... damn short LP

NYTino24

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week, @ejoseph16, @emeraldduchess, and all other teachers! We have testing all week, so our PTO is waiting until next week to celebrate.

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: Nothing as DH and I are in different time zones now but hopefully we did enough 

R/R: Had a really fun weekend in NOLA, now gearing up for my conference for the next couple of days. It will be a lot of information so hopefully will keep me distracted from thinking about if I O’d yet 

CS/Q:

inthewoods23

Month/Cycle: 23

CD: 2?

WAYDTGKU: IVF cycle starts this month!

R/R: well, we couldn't get everything we wanted in the dumpster, but they had little care when tossing the deck into the dumpster. There was a lot of void space towards the bottom that were hard to get to or only small things could fit through the open space at the top to get down there. Didn't toss the old table and chairs like I wanted, so it'll just have to be donated.

In other (TMI) news... (Doesn't need a TW but it's gross so I'm protecting your eyes)

I was expecting AF to be light seeing as I was on BC for 18 days and my periods were always light (like wear nothing but pantiliners light) when on BC but NO I woke up to a gross mess. It was on the light side yesterday 😤

CS/Q: nope

whitealbum29

@emeraldduchess @ejoseph16 - Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Hopefully your students will observe it

@varimama - Aw sorry for the sucky weekend!

@bows22 - Hopefully the weekend in NOLA was enough!

@inthewoods23 - ugh how annoying that AF surprised you that way!

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, Ovia app, eod, cm, evening primrose oil, preseed

R/R: Such a nice weekend and it at least really looks like spring here today...I'm always cold so it could always be warmer for me but it is beautiful out. Also obsessed with this restorative yoga class I went to last night where the teacher handed out these "oracle cards" (like tarot cards) so we could like, meditate on them or whatever. Sounds silly but it was just so nice! I want to do it every Sunday evening now, I'm somewhat convinced it will transform me as a person and turn me into a relaxed dreamy earth mother/fertility goddess (ha.)

CS/Q: nope

Happy teacher appreciation week @emeraldduchess and @ejoseph16! I hope you get a ton of goodies and feel appreciated because you deserve it! @NYTino24 you too for your belated celebration!

@varimama sorry your weekends aren’t great. I hope you can find something fun to do this week to try to make up for it 

yay @inthewoods23 so exciting that IVF cycle is here! that’s a bummer about the dumpster!

@whitealbum29 that’s so cool about the yoga class. I loved doing yoga, I should really get back into it. It’s hard to find the time but I always feel better/stronger!

misshelen86

@emeraldduchess and @ejoseph16 Happy Teacher Appreciation week! Hope you enjoy all the goodies! It’s nurses week too, but I’m not expecting anything at my workplace.

@varimama Sorry your weekend sucked. One day at a time is a good way to take things! 

@NYTino24 Hope you’re able to get the appointment and start making a plan!

@bows22 So glad you had a good time in NOLA!

@inthewoods23 Sorry things didn’t work as planned with the dumpster. 

@whitealbum29 Oh that sounds like a fun yoga class! Restorative yoga is one of my fav ways to relax in the evening. 

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Ava, Acupuncture, OPKs

R/R: So tired after a full weekend (3 days) at work. I just slept for 10 hours and now feel like crap. Here, coffee!! I got the date for my scope next month (so I can be “officially” diagnosed with Celiac), which is good since I was told I could be waiting months. But that means I need to add gluten back into my diet, so hopefully it goes ok. 

CS/Q: nada

puppylove8910

Happy Monday everyone!

Month/Cycle: 2/1 AL

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: Acupuncture 1x/week, PNV, BBT, HIO 2 days on, one day off in FW & Pre Seed.

R/R: I love this point in my cycle. Seriously CDs 7-11 is my sweet spot. AF is gone, FW has yet to begin and TWW is in the distant future. There is ZERO crazy that happens from CDs 7-11 and I embrace it each month. Haha! I'm heading into NYC this afternoon and I look forward to wandering around Central Park. I miss the park in the spring! Can't wait to enjoy it today  

CS/Q: Just started temping today for this cycle so there's nothing to see.

Happy teacher appreciation week @emeraldduchess & @ejoseph16!

@NYTino24 I'm so glad you're making an appointment with your RE! I hope you get some answers. 

@bows22 NOLA sounds like a great time! What a wonderful way to keep your mind off TTC for a bit. 

@inthewoods23 WAHOO! So excited for you!!

@whitealbum29 That yoga class sounds amazing. So many good vibes!

@misshelen86 Thinking of you. I hope all goes ok for you over the next few weeks!

whitealbum29

@misshelen86 - ugh working weekends suck! Great that you can get some answers sooner rather than later!

@puppylove8910 - I admire you, I'm pretty much a crazy person all month long. Have fun in NYC, it's so great this time of year!!

bows22

@puppylove8910 a walk in Central Park sounds so amazing right now - enjoy! 

@misshelen86 I’m glad you don’t have to wait too long for your scope so that you can start making a plan!

spacemountaineer

emeraldduchess and @ejoseph16 - enjoy Teacher Appreciation Week

@NYTino24 - Sorry for the short LP. Fx for your RE appointment.

@bows22 - Glad you had such a great weekend! Sounded like a lot of fun!

@puppylove8910 - Enjoy your non-crazy window! I have to say I enjoy that time of the cycle too. It is a nice little sweet spot.

Month/Cycle: 5/5

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: pnv, opks, temping, ff

R/R: I had really nice weekend. Got part of the house clean. Spent lots of time outside enjoying the sunshine and warmer weather. DH made some really tasty tri tip with his new smoker. 

CS/Q: Nope

NYTino24

@MissHelen86 It’s on June 12. Thanks for asking! At least you’ll get some good sleep for your endoscopy. It sucks that you have to mess with your stomach to get the diagnosis!

@whitealbum29 Anything that helps with relaxation is cool in my book!

@varimama I’m glad you got through the weekend. Hopefully you get a break before seeing them again!

Thank you @bows22 @puppylove8910!

R/R: The sunny weather is much appreciated. The SAD has been at bay all day, even though I didn't get a lot of sleep and working most of today.

CS/Q: Nope
