Month/Cycle: 16/18 including 2 benched. 

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Tracking CM

R/R: Well it’s CD 13 and we haven’t actually had sex yet so maybe we are going to be more like NTNP. DH has been stripping down in the basement when he gets home from work and putting his clothes directly in the washer, but I wanted to save up a couple of days of clothes before running it. I meant to do it last night because he only has 3 pairs of jeans but I totally forgot until almost 9, so I was up later than him and then forgot about DTD. Stuff like that keeps happening. Hopefully we can get it together tonight. OPK was still very light this morning so we still have some time! In other news, we’re having groceries delivered this morning for the first time ever and I’m excited to see how it goes!

CS/Q: 

keikilove

Month/Cycle: 22/IDK but the 3 past cycles we were benched

CD: 8, I think. 

WAYDTGKU: Welp, I jumped back on the intense supplement diet since we are back to HIO with no assistance: Metformin, baby aspirin, other meds, tons of supplements, Lovenox starting before ovulation, progesterone & estradiol after O.

R/R: Rave: Electricity went out last night during a rainstorm. I got to sit on the couch under a blanket by candlelight & just be appreciative of
life. It was beautiful & peaceful. 

CS/Q: Not yet 

@bows22 It’s starting to feel 
super sketchy here too to come inside w clothes that have been outside amongst the germs. I like your basement de-robing system. I hope you can get in the HIO sesh tonight! 

kpearse99

Month/Cycle: 18/15

CD: Mid 20's or something like that

WAYDTGKU: NTNP

R/R: Friends, can we focus on the fact that I have not worn jeans since March 19th?! It's amazing!

We just got a bunch of mulch and top soil delivered so we can spend some time outside cleaning up the gardens and the yard. I hate gardening but I love the finished/clean look when it's all done, so I'm sort of looking forward to it.

CS/Q: not charting

@bows22 You should meet him down in the basement for when he strips down   

@keikilove I secretly love when the power goes out too (not for a long time but for a little short period of time, of course). Everything is so calm, peaceful and quiet and there really is something about a house lit by candles!

mvt2003

Month/Cycle: 19/19

CD: Who even knows anymore lol

WAYDTGKU: I'm going to chill here since we're not tracking anything and on the NTNP train. 

R/R: Tonight I absolutely must pick up the house! We've gotten a little lax on the daily pickup, and it's time for that to change. I also want to organize my office. My boss has asked for us to start doing video calls as often as possible, so I need my bookshelves to look presentable, and for the desk behind me to not be covered in crap. We organized MH's office last night, so tonight it's my turn. Wish me luck! 

CS/Q: Nope

mvt2003

@bows22 Ugh laundry has been my nemesis during all of this. I feel like we're showering twice as often and washing more clothes just in case they have germs on them. Also, grocery delivery will be a game changer and you'll never go back, I promise! 

@keikilove It feels like we're all going back to school - picking up the supplements and the OPKs again! Hahaha! Super jealous of your rainstorm last night!!! 

@kpearse99 Send me some of that mulch! We desperately need to do our front beds, but we typically buy bags because it's a relatively small area. Maybe we'll do delivery this time! Also, please make me put jeans on some time this week, because my leggings miiiight be lying to me about how many reese's cups I'm actually consuming lol! 

kpearse99

@mvt2003 I normally do the bags too but I would totally recommend the delivery option this time. DH just ordered it online yesterday and it arrived this morning! And nope, I'll never tell you to put on jeans unless you absolutely need to    I actually just bought a few more pairs from target online    YOLO!!!

Month/Cycle: 6/4(AL)

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, Tracking CM, HIO, Taking it easy and relaxing this month

R/R: Been so busy at work lately with all the changes taking place due to the virus that I haven’t had much time to post. Ugh, I’ve had a headache every day all day long for 6 days now. It’s getting really annoying and exhausting. Hurts. I don’t know what to do about it. I hope it goes away soon or maybe this is just the new normal. 😔 

@mvt2003  good luck with the office organizing. Hope you get it all cleaned up tonight. 

@kpearse99 I love gardening lol. We just got some mulch like a couple weeks ago and did our yard. looks sooo much better. So why haven’t you worn jeans since the 19th? 

@bows22 I hope your grocery delivery goes well. GL. FX that you guys can get it together and HIO soon. 

@keikilove your candlelight night on the couch under a blanket sounds calming and peaceful. Glad you enjoyed it. It’s kinda nice to appreciate those little Moments right now during all this stress going on. 

kpearse99

@mindyb2019 because I've been working from home and not leaving my house so there's no need to be wearing jeans  A headache everyday? Ugh - does it last all day or come and go? Have you been taking Tylenol? Sometimes caffeine works better than Tylenol or Advil. 

allthingscozy

@bows22 hope things go smoothly today. You definitely still have time. Hope grocery delivery goes well too! 

@keikilove I love your positive attitude! It would be easy to be frustrated with a power outage but you chose the route of gratitude. I needed that reminder today so thanks  
@kpearse99 yay to no jeans! Glad you are able to get outside. I have a love hate relationship with gardening so I totally get where you are coming from! 

@mvt2003 hope the cleaning and organization goes by quickly and isn’t too painful  
@mindyb2019 so sorry to hear you are still  struggling with headaches. Have you tried any neck stretches?

Month/Cycle: 6/10

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: HIO, OPK, Temping, PNV, attempting to monitor CM

R/R: Shelter in Place order when out yesterday so all sessions will be done via tele. Unfortunately still a lot of cancellations. Makes me sad also I don’t have a better option for clients who don’t a way to do it on the positive being home more in the evenings has made HIO easier! Also extra time for self care so that has been nice.

CS/Q:  still light OPK’s so still waiting 

thankfullyamama

Hi all! Just thought I’d pop over here form the TWW and let you all know I’m loving the NTNP going on as everyone is seeming much more relaxed! If anyone over here is having anxiety regarding TTC and COVID I thought I’d share that the app Expectful (medication app specifically for those TTC) is having a lower price per month subscription (only $3.99) and it is very helpful if you are into meditation!

mindyb2019

@kpearse99 ohh I see haha 😆 I guess there wouldn’t be any reason to wear jeans lol lucky you. yes a headache everyday single day. I try not to take any drugs for it if I can help i but I have been taking some Advil or Tylenol here and there to help with it. Taking caffeine would make it worse for me as caffeine gives me headaches sometimes lol. It comes and goes throughout the day but it’s mostly dull and always there all day. I have dizziness a lot too with it. I think all these headaches are from work and being exhausted and stressed and anxiety during these times right now. Guess I’ll be eating Tylenol like candies for the next however long until this ends 😆

@allthingscozy  yes I have tried some neck stretches too. Not much is helping to be honest.   

gingermama29

TB was being super glitchy this morning and wouldn't let me love tit or post until now. I'll be back for tags momentarily. 

Month/Cycle: 10/6

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, temping, currently NTNP

R/R: my kitty is home!! He's a little skittish but ate some wet food and let me pet him for a bit with lots of purring. I'm so glad to have him back home. He usually sleeps at my feet at night so I was definitely missing my cuddle buddy last night.
I'm also starting to prep music activities for my students to do during the week. Keeping in mind that most students won't have supplies, it's definitely making me think outside the box. But I'm glad that my district is continuing to place importance on the arts during this and including us in virtual lesson planning and teaching.

CS/Q:  

gingermama29

@bows22 oooh enjoy grocery delivery! Hope you and YH can still squeeze in some BD tonight!

@keikilove glad you got some quiet relaxation time with the power out. I get stressed out with no power.

@kpearse99 I was just commenting to DH that I might actually be able to keep up with gardening this year! And yay for no jeans! I've been living in leggings these last two weeks.

@mvt2003 good luck with cleaning! I've been slacking on that department too.

@mindyb2019 sorry for the long lasting headache. I hope it goes away today.

@allthingscozy glad you're able to make the best of the shelter-in-place, but I'm sorry about the cancellations.  

allthingscozy

@gingermama29 glad kitty is home so glad they are valuing the arts it is so necessary! 

bows22

@keikilove your night with the power out sounds so nice! I always get so anxious when ours go out. I love your outlook!

@kpearse99 I would be thinking about coronavirus the whole time haha! I’m jealous of your no jeans streak! I had to wear jeans yesterday and today because I’m out of clean yoga pants! They are elastic waist jeans so not too terrible but not the same! I did a load of laundry this morning so as soon as they are dry I will be back to normal haha.

@mvt2003 I like grocery shopping!! It was nice having them appear at the door though. It’s hard because so many things were out of stock and the shopper kept messaging me to check if the replacements she chose were good. I appreciated that but I think I would like it better when we aren’t in a pandemic haha. Good luck organizing your office! No one has asked me to do a video call yet and I hope it doesn’t happen. 

@mindyb2019 I hope your headache goes away soon or you find the magic mix of medicine that makes you feel better. Make sure you are drinking enough water!

@allthingscozy ugh I’m sorry. You are so kind to be worried about your clients. The trickle down of all of this is so unbelievable. I hope you can get back to them soon. 

@gingermama29 good luck with your lesson planning! I’m sure you are going to come up with some fun ideas. Glad your kitty is back home safely❤️

linzrunz

@bows22 I love getting groceries delivered!  I miss living in a big city where that's an option, especially right now.  Hopefully you guys can get some sex in soon!

@keikilove That sounds so peaceful!  Way to go at looking at the positive of what could have been a crappy situation.

@kpearse99 Yay for gardening soon!  We still have a ton of snow on the ground.  I'm looking forward to it going away so we can start cleaning up the yard!

@mvt2003 Good luck at organizing!  I bet you'll feel so accomplished once it's done.

@mindyb2019 Headaches are the worst.  I'm so sorry you're suffering.  Have you ever done pressure points on your feet for headaches?  MH does them when I have migraines and sometimes they help.  I'd also recommend looking up Yoga with Adriene and searching for any headache/migraine practices.  I hope you find something that gives you some relief soon.

@allthingscozy I'm doing my therapist appointments next week via Telehealth and I'm so thankful that it's an option right now.  It also saves me driving three hours round trip for the appointments.  I didn't even think about some people not being able to do it.  But yay for being to HIO easier!

@gingermama29 I'm so glad to see that kitty is home and doing well!  And yay for your school still supporting the arts during this time!

Month/Cycle: 3/3 after 3 years during round 1

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: mattress dancing, or in our case yesterday shower dancing?, also peeing on things

R/R: It's CD17 and I've had zero sign of O still.  OPK negative again today and no CM.  I'm getting frustrated.  On a more positive note, we're supposed to have some sunshine today so I'm planning on taking my puppies out on a much needed walk this afternoon.  Looking forward to getting some sun and for the puppies to get some exercise.  There's only so much I can do for them when we've been cooped up in the house because of snow.  Usually my yorkie mix is fine with playing inside for his exercise, but I can tell even he's over it.  My gsd is super lazy so she's been fine, but she has been more needy with wanting love and cuddles.  Hopefully the walk helps lift all of our spirits.

CS/Q:  nope

Month/Cycle: 23/17/7 (AL#2)

CD: Don’t know, don’t care.

WAYDTGKU: NTNPish

R/R: We are getting our roof done today! Woohoo! It will be so nice to have that complete and to not have to think about it anymore! Should be fun hearing all the lovely noises from upstairs where I’m working though! Lol. Also, we are one day closer to the weekend!! 

CS/Q: None, not tracking the rest of the cycle. 

@bows22 hopefully you can get some timing in before your OPK’s darken! Hope the grocery delivery went well! We have never tried delivery or even pick-up...I’d be ok someone else picking some stuff, but I want to be able to pick meat & produce! Although it’s very tempting to try right now!! 

@keikilove good for you for looking on the bright side of a power outage! Glad you enjoyed it!!

@kpearse99 love it!! I wore jeans to the grocery this weekend, but it’s sweats for me otherwise! With the way the weather is going, I’ll be relaxing in shorts soon hopefully! On a somewhat related note, I’ve not work makeup in over a week and my face is totally broken out...what’s up with that?! Yay, enjoy your landscaping/gardening! It is always so satisfying when it’s complete! 

@mvt2003 hope your cleaning/organizing goes well tonight and you’ll be ready for video calls! I’ve been lucky to not have to do any video calls yet...I guess I’ll break down and put on some makeup if I do though!

@mindyb2019 so sorry for the headaches, that sounds miserable! I hope they stop soon!

@allthingscozy I’m glad you are able to look at the positives of being home! Sorry you are still dealing with cancellations though, that stinks!

@gingermama29 yay for having your kitty back home! Soak up all those cuddles!! 💜 Good luck with your virtual music lessons, that is very good you are still able to do some lessons for your students! 

@linzrunz I hope your OPK’s get dark soon and you start seeing some O signs! Hope you (and the pups) enjoy some outside time today!!

Month/Cycle: 9/9

CD: 13?

WAYDTGKU: NTNP

R/R: So the plan is to move the boxes to the new house this weekend and the furniture will come on Monday.  We bought a king bed and it is being delivered to the new house.  DH wants to move into the new house this weekend with only the bed as furniture (and maybe the TV).  I mentioned that to my grandma and she started giggling!  Oh my!  But at this rate, the new bed is the only shot I have of any action, so maybe not the worst plan either.  

@bows22. We are in the same boat of no action during FW.  I read that this morning with breakfast and just started laughing (in a commiserating way!)  

A little disappointing, since that ruins chances for Dec and then pushs the date back to 2021.  I know it is just another month, but the year change seems big.  But what do they always say...just relax and it only takes one.  Well with everything else to worry about, no more space to worry about this.   

@keikilove That sounds so relaxing and a nice change of pace for your quarantine.  

@kpearse99 Yay for the no jeans time!  I have been out and about, so pants and bra are on.  But once this move is done, joining the party!  Also enjoy the yardwork...it looks like we will have a bunch to do.  I am just nervous about all the pollen and then once that is done, it will get hot fast!

@[email protected]  Hope those headaches go away soon.  I keep having tension headaches as well, but my solution of a nap and some caffeine is not a viable solution for long.  (Plus I wake up from naps super cranky and I am currently stuck in my house with DH!  He does not need my "b" mode activated).

@allthingscozy Glad you can see the bright side of stay at home.  I had my first tele-session with my therapist and it helped a lot.  (Although it was a little hard to distinguish it from just complaining to my mom). Know that your clients appreciate what you do and how you are adjusting to the new normal.  

@gingermama29 Glad your kitty is feeling better.  Extra snuggles today!  I am curious about your virtual music lessons.  Sounds challenging and fun as well.   

@linzrunz. Hoping for a sunny walk for you guys.  Our dog just keeps following me around the house as I move.  Wait we are back in the garage what?  

@bluetickgal. I am glad you were able to get your roof done.  Being an adult can be hard sometimes!  

inthewoods23

@bows22 boy does that sound familiar. We'll agree on DTD later in the day and then we end up tired or up later than we expected and it's straight to sleep. DTD takes a back burner too much sometimes.

@keikilove I wish I could find more joy in the power going out. I'm always too busy worrying about stuff spoiling in our fridge  I should learn to lighten up

@kpearse99 it just hit me the other day that it's spring now which means people start working on their landscaping. Just felt so weird to me. We made good progress on our landscaping last summer and hope to get a bunch more finished this year. We've opted for slate stone. It's expensive, but it never needs to be replaced

@mvt2003 good luck cleaning up! I wish I had motivation to go through and organize things. For some reason I just can't when it's a weekday!

@mindyb2019 what a crummy time to be feeling crummy from a headache!

@allthingscozy stay safe! That really sucks that some of your clients have no way of doing the tele-appointments. It's certainly not like they can go to the library to access a computer or internet

@gingermama29 I had the same issue with TB this morning! Both mobile and my laptop. Ugh. So glad to hear your kitty is home! I'm sure he's happy to be too!

@linzrunz we had some sunshine and it was 55 yesterday. So nice! Today is overcast and 40.. boooo. Go away cold weather!

@bluetickgal yay for a new roof! We had some minimal work done on our roof a few years ago and I was way too excited about it. We had a small roof leak fixed and that was such a relief to not have to deal with anymore. Thankfully the leak was in our bathroom so it was just getting the tile wet vs carpet.

@dobiemom11 Just watch out for the fact that when there's nothing else in a room it will ECHO . One of our bedrooms just has a mattress on the floor as well as a bunch of other random stuff being stored in there and it still echos - so what out lol.

Month/Cycle: 33/26?

CD: 20

WAYDTGKU: au naturale, PNV, supplements, Conceive Plus (arrived today!), temping, OPKs, GF and DF diet

R/R: I've come down with something now. My body aches and I have a headache! No fever so that's good.

CS/Q: I'm having this weird panic because my temp SHOT up to 98.5 today and had the cycle gone to plan yesterday-ish would have been "O day" so I'm like... is my body going through the motions without an actual follicle being ready? Buuuut pretty sure it's because DH and I hardcore snuggled this morning. I always get so hot when I'm the little spoon.

mindyb2019

@inthewoods23 😆 your sooo cute that you get all hot being the little spoon. I’m so sorry you have come down with something and that your body aches and have a headache. I feel ya on the headaches times ten lol. I’m glad you don’t have a fever, Hope you feel better soon girl. 

@dobiemom11 having just a bed as furniture sounds awesome lol Use it to your advantage 😉 Hope everything goes well with moving the boxes over to the new house this weekend.

@Bluetickgalyay to getting the new roof done today. 

@linzrunz thanks. ya I agree. headaches are the worst. I’m suffering so bad right now all the time. No, I haven’t done pressure points in my feet for headaches, I’ll have to look into that. Thank you. Sorry still No O and no CM and no luck with positive OPKs. Sorry your frustrated with all that. I’ve been there. Hope you O soon. 

inthewoods23

@mindyb2019 only took 2+ weeks to catch what DH had. I've got the hot/cold flashes a little bit too. More cold than hot though. I should grab one of our space heaters.... lol

keikilove

@mindyb2019 & @inthewoods23 Sorry you’re both feeling not so great.😢 I hope you’re both able to rest over the weekend and feel better quickly.😘

bows22

@linzrunz so glad your weather is getting nicer! I hope that you start seeing O signs soon. That is really frustrating. 

@bluetickgal yesss I haven’t worn makeup in 2 weeks and it’s amazing. Did they get done with the roof today? That’s so exciting!

@dobiemom11 you will love the king bed! I hope it helps you have a shot this cycle!

@inthewoods23 that’s so funny! next time you’ll have to tell YH to hold off on spooning until you temp😂. I always tell MH that he radiates heat so I can imagine that would mess with temps for sure 

allthingscozy

What day do you averagely ovulate? I’m feeling late due to FF saying I should have ovulated today yet I have negative OPK’s but trying to stay positive. 

bluetickgal

@dobiemom11 I say go for the moving in this weekend with the bed & tv...it’ll be like a fun camp out! 😉
@inthewoods23 our roof fix is also a small job, no leaks though...just getting the remainder of the roof replaced that the previous owners didn’t. Glad your leak was in a “good” spot when it happened! So sorry you don’t feel well, hope you get better very soon!! 

@bows22 unfortunately they did not get it done...they delivered all the materials and then DH got a call 3 hours later that they were delayed on their previous job so it would be in the morning. So, we’ll see if it happens today! 

@allthingscozy O has become pretty regular for me on CD17...but it used to be all over the place. I wouldn’t worry too much about it being “late” since you are on CD14. Just keep testing with OPK’s and hopefully you’ll catch your surge soon! 

dobiemom11

@allthingscozy. I am normally day 16-17 for a strong positive OPK.  
I haven't used FF, so I don't know how that calculates O date.  But of course the internet always says 14 days with a 28 day cycle.  

gingermama29

@allthingscozy this probably isn't super helpful with my PCOS but I think the earliest I've O'd is CD 28. The latest was this past cycle, CD 87.
