CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: PNV, HIO, BBT, OPK, CM, FF, Coq10, VitC, VitD, omegas, RLT, GFJ, etc., I am sure I am forgetting something.
R/R: MH is out on a boat helping someone move stuff out of their house that's about to be flooded (controlled floods they do every now and then? Not from rain?) right now & I'm trying to see what on my to-do list I can get done. I could try to pack some stuff & go to the post office--they are open for a very small window on Saturdays & I usually miss it. We have no plans today other than him helping that dude, but we are having some friends over tomorrow.
CS/Q: Not a question, but a PSA/As You Can See: FF got an update (I updated the app on my phone last night) & you can now enter AM & PM OPKs. YAY. You have to add them in as extra tests, though, (which isn't hard) before you can fill in data for them.
@kagesstarshroom Enjoy your day! So cool about the FF update!

WAYDTGKU: What am I not doing? Lol
R/R: We got to camp and I almost fell asleep in the hammock which was so cozy! Then our friends came and we had fun around the fire! Our new tent is awesome!
CS/Q: OPKs and HIO in the woods! SUCCESS!

@brookert615 now that’s my kind of camping! Lol. When there’s nothing else to do, HIO!
Month/Cycle: 5/1 AL
CD: 29
WAYDTGKU: BBT and OPK, prenatal vitamins, folic acid
R/R: just did a 5k for my school district! My running partner messed up her back this week so we walked it! MH walked it with us, and that was fun! It was a good morning! Now going out for ice cream (the lunch of champions) and getting on to cookout goodness!
CS/Q: I don’t even know anymore. If AF could just start soon to get this cycle over with I’d be so thankful!
@brookert615: yay! Glad your trip has been a success! Have fun! Thanks for thinking about us!
@kagesstarshroom: Thanks for the FF tip. I finally paid for the VIP version, and it's actually been really nice so far.
@ejoseph16 Ice cream is my favorite! DH asked me this week "Do you ever not want ice cream?" And I got a little defensive, and said that sometimes I don't feel like it. To which he replied "Do you want ice cream right now?" (it was 9pm and we hadn't had dinner) Then I had to confess that I had made an 11pm ice cream run the night before and still had some in the freezer. He then said "I rest my case." So, TL:DR: I support ice cream for lunch!
Month/Cycle: 4/5
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPK, CM, BBT, GFJ, RLT, COQ10
R/R: DH and I made yummy cocktails last night and watched a movie. I know that's not much, but we really don't have a lot of evenings where neither of us has something going on, so it was nice. Also, I know I shouldn't drink too much when TTC, but part of me feels like it's the one thing I can do that I couldn't do if I could actually get this TTC thing to work. So, while I don't overdo it, I definitely enjoy a not-so-occassional glass of wine etc whenever I feel like it. Probably not the best coping mechanism, but it's what I'm working with.
CS/Q: Not much to show yet, but I haven't ever shared my chart, so I figured I would start.
@ejoseph16 So sorry for your whacky AL chart! Hugs.
@brookert615 So proud of you for doing all things TTC in the forest!
@brookert615 falling asleep in a hammock sounds so great. I’m so jealous. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
@ejoseph16 sounds like a fun day
@shoogapoff I think a glass of wine sounds really great ! Enjoy while you can
Month/Cycle: 10/10 yikes
CD: 58
WAYDTGKU: PNV, Vitamin D, provera (because I’m CD 58), letrozole on CD 3, metformin, not doing keto but limiting carbs a lot
R/R: rant- went to the doctor and got my bfs SA result and his number is less then a million. I made the HUGE mistake of telling my mom the results and that the dr said we have a 3% chance of conceiving naturally and that IVF is more then likely our only option. She told me to just adopt, stop trying and it’ll happen. I didn’t expect her to understand what IVF is or why I would be so upset but you’d think that just regular common sense would tell her to just say ‘im sorry about the results’. I’ve decided to tell people we are not having kids so that if whenever we are able to budget for IVF it’ll just come as a surprise.
Rave- today is crappy rain weather but I have to work for a few hours. I’m off tomorrow and it’s supposed to be nice weather so I’m going to do some yard work and take my dogs for a hike.
Hope all of you Americans have a great long weekend !!
CS/Q: has anyone else taken letrozole ? I’ve done research about the side effects and they all sound horrible. If you’ve taken it, what was your side effects ??
Month/Cycle: 1/1

WAYDTGKU: opk, paying attention to body signs
R/R: pitbull, the rapper just moved next door, and we are bbq this weekend! So excited! Also, my left side is cramping. Possible pre ovulation? We will see.
CS/Q: no questions

@brookert615 nicely done on HIO and OPKs in the woods! The hammock sounds so relaxing!
@ejoseph16 a walking 5K is my kind of 5K! I’m sorry about your chart. I was hoping your temp yesterday was a fluke.
@shoogapoff I used to try to stick to wine but lately I’ve been just going with whatever sounds good. And just trying not to overdo it but during AF and early WTO sometimes I am a little more....carefree😬. It is the one silver lining to BFNs although we would (obviously) rather be KU.
@verydisgruntledpelican0091 I hope the provera kicks in soon.
@kmornelas29 are you BBQing with pitbull??
Month/Cycle: 6/7

WAYDTGKU: EOD and tracking CM
R/R: After almost a year in our house we bought a table and chairs for the deck and ate dinner outside! It was so nice!
CS/Q:
@bows22 we did, but he flew out fir a concert in Vegas tonight. Crazy right? Just moved in and we’re all a little shocked!

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, lots of supplements, keto diet
R/R: Life has been soooo busy the last few weeks and will continue to be the next few. We are closing on our new house on Thursday. There seems to be no consistency as far as O day goes the last few cycles. I was sure I was Oing early this week, because I had signs early, but nope.
CS/Q: nada
@shoogapoff That sounds like such a lovely evening!!!
@verydisgruntledpelican0091 Good to see you’re back on Metformin!
@kmornelas29 Okay so that’s super cool lol.
@bows22 I bet it’s so wondering to be able to enjoy your deck that much more!
@Kerco925 Congrats on closing! Hope you can get clarity on O!

R/R: were around ovulation, and going to see Aladdin today with the family!
CS/Q: I had really bad ovulation cramps yesterday. Do you usually get this during ovulation Or before ovulation? I’m reading conflicting reports. Yesterday I took my OPK and it’s a high fertility, and today it’s showing ovulation for the next 48 hours, peak. I feel like it’s weird to only have one high day. Has anyone else had this happen? Is that common?
To give some background info, I was spotting two days before I actually fully started AF. I was timing everything based off of the two days after when I actually started. I was thinking I would ovulate more based off of the day I actually started but the OPK seems to be aligning more with when I started spotting. I know ovulation doesn’t always have to happen right smack in the middle of your cycle, but I’m a little bit thrown off this time.

@kmornelas29 Super jealous you are going to see Aladdin, but I want to wait to see it w/ my brother since it was our fave when we were kids. As for O pain, I have no idea. I don't often feel it--and I have other pains that it can get mixed up with. But I was hoping yesterday's side pain was an O pain. My OPKs are telling me otherwise if O pain = release of egg pain, which makes more sense to me than before. As for your other questions, I think that OPKs really work best when used w/ other fertility tracking things--mainly, temperatures, but also CM. If you know when your LH surge is (=peak OPK), that just means you'll O in the next 12-48 hours. CM & BBT are best in confirming that. Anyway, it's all a big guessing game in the end, and these things are just here to help make it a bit easier.
@bows22 Yay to eating outside! Do you have stellar bug-repellent technology? I put some eucalyptus oil in my bag when we went to the brewery last night (I drank seltzer bc they didn't have any stouts-- I would have had one stout!), but I wound up not needing it!
@kmornelas29 I get O pain most months, but since taking OPKs, I'm not convinced its on the actual O day every time- just in the days around it. That's just my experience.
@bows22 I love eating outside! We need new patio furniture too, but other things always seem to take precedence. Oh, and I agree that drinking is the one silver lining of not being KU! Thanks for the validation.
