WAYDTGKU: IVF

R/R: Sorry I always ghost on the weekends. Had a busy weekend deep cleaning the house, organizing closets, and doing 14 loads of laundry! I had everything from our camper to wash (sheets, blankets, towels), plus both of our clothes, towels, and all the bedding in our house.  I had my baseline ultrasound this morning, and all my meds were delivered Friday! So I spent some time organizing them and watching all the instructional videos online on how to administer them. Waiting to hear from my RE now as to whether to start them tonight!

CS/Q: nope, charged my ava last night to start temping again

WAYDTGKU: Benched for IF testing

R/R:We had a really nice weekend - we went to the Yankee Candle flagship store in western MA, which was super fun!  *TW*      We almost brought our 5 yo nephew with us, and I really wish we had! We may do another trip out in November and bring him. It had lots of cute kid activities and he would love the Bavarian Christmas Village! MH and his brother spent a LOT of time with their uncle and aunt growing up, and we want our niece and nephew to have the same great experiences.   *END TW*  

I did a 3-mile race (NOT a 5k as my BiL kept correcting MH ) on Sunday, it's one of my favorite courses (nice and flat) and it was a gorgeous day. We made a nice dinner last night, and the Pats play tonight. 

We also got MH's SA back (will post details in the IF thread shortly) but the short answer is that we're most likely looking at IVF as we've expected. I'm surprisingly ok about it, and am anxious to just get this going and so is he!

CS/Q: Nope

@feather_heather what a busy weekend you had!! I'm so excited and hopeful for you now that you get to finally start!!! 

@mvt2003 I'm glad you got to go to the candle store! I know you were really hinting at that last week!

R/R: We had a really nice weekend! Yesterday was such a great Sunday Funday - we went to a bar with our friends and just sat there for a few hours talking and watching a few different sports games.  Then we went home and took a nap and DH made us a yummy dinner!  I have a sort work week of 2 days as we are off to Charleston on Wednesday. I can't wait to get away with DH!!

CS/Q: nope

@mvt2003 - I love the Yankee Candle store! Every year growing up my mom would take us for a girls weekend! Very fond memories of going there and the butterfly conservatory! 

@kpearse99 - Ohhh have so much fun in Charleston!! That is high up on my list of places I want to go! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!

mvt2003

@feather_heather Is the butterfly conservatory on the property? I didn't see it! 

@kpearse99 So jealous about Charleston!!! Have the best time!! Also, I made a keto "chicken parm" last night that was to die for. The recipe is here for the chicken: https://gimmedelicious.com/2019/03/11/crispy-parmesan-crusted-chicken/ I put the cooked chicken under the broiler with some Rao's sauce and mozzarella, and served it over zoodles and it was amazing!

@mvt2003 - No, but it is in South Deerfield! 

kpearse99

@mvt2003 ooooooo I'm drooling now!! I can't wait to try it

mvt2003

@kpearse99 Not to oversell it, but MH had asked for us to try to do a keto version of the skinnytaste baked chicken parm, and he said this was even better!!!

WAYDTGKU: all the supplements, preseed, temping, OPK

R/R: so made my RE appointment for November 26th. The wait may kill me. I guess we will keep trying for now and if it doesn’t happen at least we have an appointment made. 

CS/Q: none 
mill be back for tags later. Got to run to class.

@feather_heather oh man! 14 loads! That's a lot! I really need to wash our comforters, I haven't washed them since we bought them last year 😬 but we don't really sleep with them in the summer because it gets warm so... Makes that a little less horrible sounding right? 😅

@mvt2003 I'm always happy when test results definitely point to a problem. None of this "well that could be a problem, but it might not". How YH is doing okay with the results!

@kpearse99 sounds like a fun weekend!

@beckylookatherbump just take it a week at a time and the RE appointment will be here before you know it!

WAYDTGKU: HIO with preseed, OPKs, temping, PNV, Vitamin D

R/R: good weekend with the lake boat tour with family! Got some laundry done so we should be mostly good for our upcoming trip! Thursday can't come soon enough? I may or may not post the rest of the week, but I'll lurk at least. 

CS/Q: OPKs still very negative and temps are all around 97.1. Ovaries appear to still be sleeping on the job. I have some CM so that gives me hope that cycle length will still be on the more regular side than 40+ days. My longest cycle since I started tracking was 39 days. So we'll see...

@inthewoods23 - I'm pretty bad about washing comforters too, but I generally wash the duvet at least once a month. The comforters I have to bring to a laundry mat because they're too big for my washer. Excited to hear all about your trip!

@feather_heather 14 loads of laundry?! 😳 I hope you have that really satisfied post-cleaning feeling. And i hope your RE got back to you promptly!

@mvt2003 Congrats on the race! And i’m glad you and hubby are taking the IVF news in stride ❤️

@kpearse99 Glad you guys had a good weekend and happy that you and @inthewoods23 have trips coming up—you both deserve it!

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, DTD EOD

R/R: So @kpearse99 warned me that a little Pre-Seed goes a long way anddd I was still not appropriately conservative with our first use. Like a frickin water slide 😂 

CS/Q: Nope.

@ssbl the first time I used preseed with the applicator, it was WAAAY too much. And I think that was the recommended amount. I used less (like half the suggestion) in the applicator the 2nd time and it still felt like a mess. We just do a little dab now and are usually good unless I'm on the dry side and need a 2nd dab. Idk why they recommend so much!

kpearse99

@ssbl I laughed really really hard at your update this morning!! Too much preseed is certainly like a crazy waterslide...
