WAYDTGKU: Letrozole + TI, prenatals, temping, OPKs

R/R:  Finished my last dose of Letrozole yesterday. I felt nauseated most of this weekend which I know can be a side effect of the meds. I'm hoping it was just that and that I'm not getting sick. This weekend was pretty quiet and relaxing. Can't complain other than not feeling great. I'm working today at school and then get to work from home tomorrow since it's virtual parent teacher conferences.
Then I'm off the whole rest of this week which I'm looking forward to!

@gingermama29 I hope you feel better soon. 

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: CD16

WAYDTGKU: temping with Tempdrop, CM, CP

R/R: I have so much to do today. I have several phone calls to make for repairs on the house and now my cat is peeing outside his box so I’m wondering if he has a UTI. Which would be awful because we are leaving on Wednesday and I was planning on leaving him at the house. 

CS/Q: Now that we have better timing I hope my temp goes up tomorrow. I’m trying to decide if I want to take tests with me when we go out of town. Or try to force myself to wait and test when I get back.

@emeraldcity1214 thanks! I hope your kitty is okay!

@gingermama29 I hope you feel better soon! I didn't have any side effects from the letrozole. What is your dose?
@emeraldcity1214 how long will you be out of town? I probably wouldn't bring tests but I don't like testing early anymore. I hope your kitty is ok.

WAYDTGKU: a lot

R/R: Another busy day at work so I am looking forward to some days off this week. It will be odd cooking Thanksgiving for ourselves and not seeing family though. I had my u/s this morning and we will be triggering tomorrow night and TI on Thanksgiving 

CS/Q:  none

emeraldcity1214

@krash_ We will be gone for an entire week. If I get a shift tomorrow I will be right around 10 DPO when we get home. I think I am leaning towards not testing until I get home. Just so I don’t have to deal with any disappointment while I’m with family.

Hi
Hey
Hello again ladies

Month/Cycle: 41 /1 AL

CD: 2

WAYDTGKU: temping, OPKs, PNV, a little extra vitamin D until the bottle is empty, DHA, CoQ10, and GF and DF diet for me, CoQ10 and a men's multivitamin for DH, hitting the flannel sheets

R/R: my coworker has me rolling my eyes today - twice! Oy. I wish he'd get his act together. Maybe it will be more bearable once we get a new person on our team! Yay! In other news, not having fun with this period and my menstrual cup, but hey, my cramps are basically nonexistent today. Just glad I'm home to deal with the mess. It's pretty sad how many reasons I have to be actually thankful for covid

CS/Q: should we be taking ubiquinol instead of CoQ10 or does it not really matter?

inthewoods23

Whoops, I suppose I should tag people!

@gingermama29 hoping you get good results on the letrozole! Enjoy your days off. You teachers all deserve it!

@emeraldcity1214 hope everything is okay with your kitty.

@krash_ think you'll go for seconds on Thanksgiving  haha

emeraldcity1214

@inthewoods23 I’m not sure about the ubiquinol. I’m sorry your coworker is irritating. I’m glad your cramps aren’t bad. I don’t typically get cramps but my last period had me feeling really sore. I’m glad you have moved into this cycle so y’all can start trying again.

I was stuck in a reply box and couldn’t get out lol. 

@emeraldcity1214 I’d say maybe hold out until you get home since it’ll be early anyway (or tell yourself that, then hide one in a sock or pocket somewhere!). 

@gingermama29 sorry you don’t feel well but at least you are off now! I work tomorrow, then I’m off the rest of this week. 

@krash_ Good luck with the trigger! 

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: hio, cm, now bbt, and I bought some OPKs to try this cycle

R/R: I picked up pizza on the way home from work and it took far longer than it should have which made me cranky. I’m ready for the 5 day weekend! 

CS/Q:  I did my first bbt today, so I’ll have more of a chart this month. 

gingermama29

@krash_ looks like I'm on 5 mg (two 2.5 mg pills daily). I'm definitely feeling better today. It could've just been a fluke. Yay for triggering tomorrow! FX for you!

@inthewoods23 hi friend! I'm glad your cramps aren't bad today and you're able to be home. 

@emmylou78 I hope tomorrow goes quickly for you so you can enjoy your long weekend! Enjoy your pizza!!

*sorta lurking; i.e. not posting an update today*

@inthewoods23

I switched from CoQ10 to Ubiquinol because Ubiquinol is the active ingredient in CoQ10. Also, heads up, most RE's recommend a WAY higher dosage of Ubiquinol/CoQ10 than any bottle instructions. My previous RE wanted me to take 400mg of Ubiquinol. The new one wants me taking 600mg (he also wants DH taking 600mg of Ubuinol, whereas previously he was on a 200mg dose.) This site has a great explanation of which one to take.

WAYDTGKU: BD, OPKs, CM

R/R: busy week ahead, full up on homework today and tomorrow, but at least I don't have to leave my house tomorrow. We're trying to figure out what Thanksgiving will look like, and it looks like it's going to rain so whether we're home or with family will depend on if my sister's covered patio is big enough for us to distance on.

CS/Q:  nah, too early in my cycle

@gingermama29 fingers crossed it was just the med and not a bug!

@emeraldcity1214 I hope your cat is okay

@krash_ same here on work and Thanksgiving. We usually spend the holiday at my out of state aunt's house with about 25 of us, so cooking turkey at home for just the two of us will be real weird.

@inthewoods23 sorry about the coworker, but at least yay less cramps?

@emmylou78 we were supposed to have soup tonight, but our grocery delivery came in the late end of the window so soup's cooking for tomorrow and I picked up fast food on the way home. I kind of wish I'd gotten pizza now though!

inthewoods23

@acleverusername we're just taking 200mg each right now. I've been trying to find this booklet that I found on the RE's website where I got my 2nd opinion but I can find it anymore! It had a whole section on supplements and what dosage to take for benefits. I think it said 400mg. I'll take a look at your link.

@fantasyflyte I'm not sure if it's the extra water or being on the GF and DF diet but my cramps have certainly been more tame this year. I've been very surprised this cycle considering how ridiculously heavy it is. I'm jealous you even have the opportunity to be on a covered patio for Thanksgiving! Too cold here for that.
