Month/Cycle: 11/4 AL

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs

R/R: I woke up at 4 am because of the time change and felt very awake, so I already went running and I feel like that is putting me in a good place for the week. Also, it is a very odd feeling to go on an online forum and start 11 discussions then reply (repeatedly) to yourself, so I need other people to wake up!

CS/Q: Nothing to see yet

@fitzfizz an early morning run with tons of energy sounds fantastic! 

Month/Cycle: 2

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: bbt

R/R: I was wide awake earlier than I had to be so I went back to sleep and now I’m exhausted again. I’m chronically anemic and take an iron tab and days like today I can feel that I need it. Also pretty sure I forgot to start my washing machine and dishwasher last night, so yay me.

@fitzfizz look at you KILLING it today! Get after those goals, girl!
@paytonpedro Forgetting to start them might be better than starting and letting your wet clothes sit, right? 🤪 Hopefully it doesn’t put you behind today!

Month/Cycle: 5/6

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: *Let the River run.....*, then PNV and PNV, OPKs and temping

R/R: I have a dentist appointment this afternoon, first one in over a year. 😬 Thanks COVID. This week we are supposed to warm up into the 50s and 60s so I’m looking forward to that beautiful weather! 

CS/Q: I’ll start temping Thursday or Friday.

gingermama29

@fitzfizz all the kudos for an early morning run! I don't have that kind of will power. 

@paytonpedro sounds like you need all the coffee today. 

Month/Cycle: 17/10

CD: 60

WAYDTGKU: temping, prenatals, OPKs, and HIO of course

R/R:  Got my covid results on Friday afternoon and as expected, it was negative. Back to work today! I'm hoping I can get some of my sick days reimbursed since being out for 4 days wasn't my choice.
Also omg I FINALLY got a blazing positive OPK yesterday!!!! I had O pain most of the evening too which tells me it's not a false surge. OPK was positive again this morning, but not as high as yesterday so I'm thinking today is O day. I'm excited that I'll finally get to move over to the TWW soon! I mean, it's only been 60 days 🙄🙄

CS/Q: alright, I guess I'll attach it. My temps have been kinda wonky this cycle though. 

chindimples04

@gingermama29 we simultaneously posted! Yayy for a BLAZING positive OPK! It’s about time! Happy O day! So happy to hear you are COVID negative, too! Good news all around!

optimisticoctopus

@fitzfizz way to crush the morning! I hope your energy continues through you the day!

@paytonpedro I hate when I forget to do that stuff at night - always makes me feel behind at the beginning of the day. 

@chindimples04 good luck at the dentist today!

@gingermama29 yayyyy for O!!! So glad it’s finally happening!! Also yay for negative COVID results!

Month/Cycle: 12/11

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: doing another IUI this cycle, I’m assuming with an increased Clomid dosage

R/R: So I hate when it’s dark in the afternoon, but it was so much easier getting out of bed with the sun out this morning! Plus it’s been raining so much the past week or so that any day I don’t have to drive to work in the rain makes me happy. And my MIL brought me cookies at work this morning! So I’m having a great Monday over here haha.

CS/Q:

gingermama29

@chindimples04 I hope your appointment goes well. I cancelled mine in August because of covid so I definitely get it. I haven't rescheduled yet either.

@runningoncookies yay for cookies at work!! We've had similar weather here so it's so nice to finally see the sun again. Enjoy!

acleverusername

@fitzfizz Wow! Congrats on not wasting away an early wake-up and getting outside to exercise! I bet you'll feel great all day (maybe until you crash early... )
@paytonpedro I hate starting my machines late at night and then have the beeping wake me up. Plus, as @chindimples04 said, this way your clothes don't sit wet in the washer. 
@gingermama29 I'm so excited for your positive OPK!!! HIO the heck out of today. Haha. Also, the negative Covid test is reassuring; hope you can get those sick days reimbursed. FX. 
@chindimples04 Good luck at the dentist today; I'm postponing going until Covid is over. I just don't trust having someone dig around my mouth right now. 
@runningoncookies Good luck at your baseline appointment today. Are you going to see about switching from Clomid to Letrazole? The Egg Whisperers calls Clomid "Clo-monster" and says that if you're taking it, you'd better call a local priest and line up your exorcism. 

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: Letrazole + IUI (including advance sperm freeze to make sure we have enough swimmers on day of); lots of vitamins and supplements for MH and I; some residual blood testing for MH. 

R/R: rave -- had a really great hang out sesh with 3 friends + their 10 week miniature schnauzer puppy. The puppy turned out to be a real ladies' man, and spent a good portion on my lap. Now I really want a dog, but unfortunately we live in a no pets house atm. We might work on our landlord once we're here for a year to let us have a dog. 

Lots of watery CM this morning which means that meds are working and O is approaching; I have my monitoring appointment tomorrow AM and if my body responded to Letrazole in the same way as to Clomid, IUI will be sometime later this week. 

CS/Q: Nope. Feels so good too.

@acleverusername they got me in for my baseline monitoring appointment tomorrow morning, and I a definitely going to ask about switching! Glad to hear that things are moving in the right direction for you...good luck tomorrow!!

Kenneylynn3

@fitzfizz good for you for getting up and getting a run in!

@paytonpedro I hate when I forget things like that! 

@chindimples04 hope your dentist appt went well!

@gingermama29 yay for O!!!! So glad it is finally here for you!

@runningoncookies glad you are having a good Monday. Hope your appt goes well tomorrow!

@acleverusername I love puppy snuggles! Hope IUI goes smoothly this week for you. I'm happy to hear the meds are working.

Month: 5/ 2 AL

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: pnv, baby aspirin, cm/cp, bbt, ai

R/R: yay! The bump is working for me! I'm so sorry for my long absence. The bump wouldn't let me post a chart the last time I posted, and then the bump/ my phone stopped working for me (it wouldn't load).

I had a long AF this cycle, 9 days, and when I temped this morning my chart have me crosshairs. I normally have 5 day af max and don't O until around CD 15. My cm/ cp doesn't match with crosshairs. I don't know what's happening this cycle.

@peytonpedro Hopefully you were able to get caught up with the dishes and laundry today! 

@chindimples04 Every time I go to the dentist I realize I am overdue. You are not alone! 

@gingermama29 It is weird that I am legitimately excited that you are ovulating, because I am! I hope you get a temp spike soon and that the doctors visit is fruitful, but ultimately unnecessary!

@runningoncookies I am loving the pun that your mother in law kept you running on cookies today (lame, I know haha)

@acleverusername I think that you work PR for the egg whisperer, but you have convinced me to start listening. Any favorite podcasts? 

@kenneylynn3 I’m glad the bump is working! I was thinking about you the other day and curious if something had happened. Glad it was just computer glitching. Sorry about the long AF. I agree that your CH seem super premature, I would just ignore it.
