I finally got a good amount of sleep last night, so I'm feeling pretty good today. I did yoga after dinner, maybe that helped?

I hope everyone has a great Friday! (It is Friday, yes?

R/R: I still have not lost this clomid weight - it's crazy!! It seems to be all in my legs, which I guess is better than being all over, but still! I think I've just accepted this is the new me, but I'll continue to exercise and hope it reduces them a little. Any tips or suggestions on lower body workouts? I've read conflicting things on bodyweight being best vs. using weights being best.... womp!

@mvt2003 quarantine afghan! i love it. what's the design?
@inthewoods23 thats awesome that you did yoga 3x this week! go for a record 4 tomorrow too!
@kpearse99 i'd guess cardio would be best? easiest probably just doing a bunch of stairs if you do'nt have a bike?
Month/Cycle: 4/3
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: prenatals, OPK, temping
R/R: just went to the grocery store this morning. all the employees were super diligent about making sure everyone had gloves (they even supplied) and kept everyone as apart as possible. so i guess as good of an experience as one can have grocery shopping during these times. i even got 4 rolls of paper towels!!! i went through a whole roll last night when the pup peed all over the place in one shot ughhhh
CS/Q: why, yes i do have a chart
now just need to get some little hearts on there.. tried last night but someone wasn't feeling it
Month/Cycle: 10/9/3(al)
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: Clearblue advanced OPK, bbt, prenatals
R/R: Going to help my sister move later today. And then get some Easter stuff together. We aren’t quarantined from my in-laws because they’re our neighbors and we see them a ton, so we will do dinner Sunday with them. I’m going to try to make a bunny cake to keep up the Easter spirit, but I’m not the best baker, so I hope he survives 😂 I’m super super irritated at DHs family. We always do Easter at DHs grandparents house, with all of his aunts and cousins( at least 25 people) and they're still going over there! Nana has a pretty serious heart condition and I’m so mad that any of them would even consider putting them at risk.
CS/Q:
@stillcozy I’m sorry about CD1
@mvt2003 SMEP is exhausting. 😂 especially if you o late in the month! Glad you slept well! Enjoy your Friday!
@inthewoods hope you find things to keep you occupied today! Enjoy your day off!
@kpearse99 sorry you haven’t lost the weight! I have no advice, most of my weight goes to my hips. 🤷🏼♀️ I bet you’ll find a good workout though!
@asf0613 glad you had a successful shopping trip! That’s good they are being diligent about cleanliness! Are you tracking in fertility fried too? I like it more because you can see a better shift in temps. And the Premom app isn’t as user friendly imo.
@mvt2003 sounds like your evening yoga relaxed you!
@inthewoods23 enjoy your day off! MH and I both have off today and it feels weird we don’t know what to do with ourselves haha!
@kpearse99 I always find that a mixture of cardio and weights works the best for me! There’s a lot of good YouTube workouts that focus on lower body exercises...I’ve been doing basically all YouTube workouts since this whole quarantine business started haha
@asf0613 yay for a successful grocery trip!
@photographerwife it’s nice that you’re still going to be able to see some family this weekend!
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: temping, prenatals, OPKs, tracking CM
R/R: Happy Friday!! DH and I have the day off together and he is already so bored lol. Probably will spend some time cleaning up the backyard, and maybe we will go for a long walk and work on a puzzle! Should be a nice start to the weekend.
CS/Q: another positive OPK this morning! Probably will O this weekend and hopefully be over in TWW by next week!
@asf0613 your chat comment made me laugh. I’m glad grocery shopping was a success for you
@photographerwife omg that would make me sooooo mad! DHs gran is so so frail and some of his cousins are still going to see her and it makes us so mad! Question, how do you like living next to your in-laws?
Month/Cycle: NTNP
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: Using less protection, tracking CM, CP, & BBT
R/R: I had a zoom hangout with my girls last night so that was really fun. All of our boyfriends/husbands have been best friends since they were like, 11. When I first moved to the UK I would only be here for a few months and normally the boys had “no girls allowed” hangouts (so weird) but because I was only able to be with my boyfriend (now DH) for a few months out of the year, they allowed me to come out with them. They’re like my brothers now and I consider them my friends, not just DH’s friends, but I was like, “I need some girlfriends!” So I forced them to all introduce me 😂 and now we’re all like SUCH good friends - a few were even some of my bridesmaids
CS/Q: nothing exciting
