Month/Cycle: 1/1(?)

CD: 🤷🏻‍♀️ Still waiting for AF

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, CM, PNV

R/R: I started feeling crampy last night, hoping that means AF is on her way so we can get this cycle actually started! However, we are going swimming at my sister’s for Father’s Day and my family doesn’t know I had my IUD removed or that we are TTC, so I don’t want to have to deal with questions or suspicions.

CS/Q: I haven’t been able to insert spoilers or photos from my phone properly. Hoping there is an app update soon to fix it. But nothing exciting to see, LH was dropping but I had a rise yesterday. Hoping with my new BBT showing up today, I can get a better idea of what’s going on.

@chindimples04 Hope you have fun for Father's Day and that AF arrives after swimming

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, vitamins including prenatals

R/R: Last night I had Taco Bell and some wine (so classy, I know) and then woke up at 2am and could NOT fall back asleep forever!! Way too exhausted to be working today  but probably my fault for those unhealthy choices. On the bright side it's absolutely beautiful here today. 

CS/Q: nope

@chindimples04 Hope AF arrives soon so you can get started!

@priyadoc Taco Bell + wine is like peak quarantine if you ask me! I had White Claws and french onion dip last night so no judgment here lol. Sorry for the 2 am wakeup though.

Month/Cycle: 6/7

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: Waiting on test results, gearing up for IVF

R/R: Sorry I have been MIA this week, between this feeling like a hopeless cycle and general anxiety about work/life, I have been very meh. I am super happy it is Friday though. 

CS/Q: I haven't really been temping but should probably start if I even care to detect O this cycle.

WAYDTGKU: HIO, PNV, Pre-seed

R/R: We were supposed to be going to visit my family/friends in Michigan over the 4th of July but due to Covid we cancelled our trip. United wouldn't let us have a full refund so we decided to sit on the tickets until the last minuet before cancelling. Today they sent us an email with an itinerary change so I called to inquire about a refund again and they were able to honor it this time! I'm happy to have that money back on our credit card instead of worrying about having to use a credit but I'm still so sad I have no idea when we will be able to travel again. 

CS/Q: No chart yet

@priyadoc I had homemade Mexican Pizza's last night and they turned out sooo good! If you are ever craving taco bell but would rather make a homemade meal I highly recommend. 

@chindimples04 I know you said previously that you cannot wear tampons but can you use a cup? I don't love cups personally but at least you could swim!

@chindimples04 Crossing fingers for a Sunday evening AF arrival!

@priyadoc I hope the day goes fast and you can catch up on sleep this weekend! Taco Bell and wine sounds amazing haha 

@legallykate I’ve been MIA too, glad to see you here! Do you have to work a lot this weekend or will you get a break?

@jenotontx oh that’s great you got your refund! I hope you can use at least part of the money on something fun that will help with the bummer of missing your trip 

Month/Cycle: 19/21 including 2 benched. 

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Tracking CM

R/R:  I finally took an OPK last night, it was very negative so either I missed the surge or it’s still coming. We’ll keep up with EOD until I stop seeing fertile CM so we will get some timing, but annoyed that I let the week get away from me without taking one. The good news is that the week flew by and it’s Friday! I have a lot of work to do today but am looking forward to the weekend. We have no plans but just relaxing will be great!

@legallykate Hahah I'm glad to know I'm not the only one making some poor food choices!! I've never liked White Claw actually but my cousins are obsessed w the Mango version. Hopefully you can relax over the weekend and mitigate some of that work/life anxiety!

@jenotontx Glad you got your refund! Ugh, I really miss traveling too. This was supposed to be our year of traveling together before MH's job gets less predictable, and before TTC. We had to cancel a trip to Spain/Portugal in May, and that one really hurt my soul 

@bows22 Thank you!! And, I hope you get the positive OPK this weekend. I totally undestand how it gets so busy you forget to take them! 

bows22

@priyadoc mango white claw is my least favorite! I can’t believe that’s what they like haha 

jenotontx

@priyadoc We have been planning to go to England and Ireland in August but have come to terms with the reality that trip will likely not be happening. I’m sorry you had to cancel your trip in May. Spain/Portugal is definitely on my to do list as well someday!

@jenotontx Yay for finally getting the refund. I have a $1000 Delta voucher from early this year before Covid (a work trip got cancelled) that they will not refund and it is driving me nuts, since I don’t ever even fly on Delta for non-work and who knows when I will ever travel for work again.

@bows22 Enjoy your weekend, relaxing sounds amazing! I think I am going to do the same even though my hours this month are lagging. My brother and his fiancée are taking my dad to a restaurant on Sunday but we bowed out of that so I am sure we will Zoom with him and my FIL at some point.

@priyadoc I also like the Mango! But I just order the variety 12 pack usually because I like three of the flavors and then begrudgingly drink the Lime (eww).

chindimples04

@jenotontx cups come with the same risks as tampons now that I’ve had TSS. Perhaps lowers since it doesn’t have all the same chemicals, but a chance nonetheless, unfortunately. Makes AF very challenging.

@priyadoc Taco Bell is my weakness! 🤤😍
