WAYDTGKU: timing BD with help from an app, tracking CM, prenatal vitamins
R/R: Just feeling super ragey these days. Work is awful lately. It just would be nice to go, like 6 consecutive hours without crying over my stupid job. Usually I love it. It's challenging, fun, and my coworkers are my friends. But, sometimes it feels like I'm being run over by a bus there over and over again with the changing expectations and having to pick up the pieces of constant errors and shortfalls. Then my responsibilities end up taking a back seat and it looks like I'm not doing my own job well. The past week has been emergency after emergency, and it's been making me just settle into a high level of constant anxiety. I wish I could be one of those people that doesn't let work control my emotions or get me so worked up but I don't know how to be that.

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, HIO EOD, preseed, sh!t loads of vitamins
R/R: Today's DH’s grandfather’s funeral. DH also worked all night so he’s exhausted and we have an hour and a half drive to the funeral. We plan on only attending the burial since it’s outside and we can wear masks and stay the heck away from other people. I took the day off of work just to be there for him, however he ends up needing me. ❤️
CS/Q: Based on the temp spike today, I’m pretty sure I already ovulated. Guessing I missed the beginning of my surge yesterday but caught the middle/end of it.

WAYDTGKU: Clomid, ovidrel, IUI
R/R: Happy Friday!! Today is my last day of working from home which is sad. I have some students coming back into the building for the next week and a half until winter break. And next week is conferences too. Usually I don’t have to go to many but there’s always some parents that want to see me. Definitely soaking up working in sweatpants while I can! And just eternally grateful to the universe that when I go back into the building I won’t be also taking Clomid and feeling like crap (yay).
CS/Q:
@chindimples04 I'm so sorry. It's so wonderful that you were able to take the day off for DH to lean on you.
@runningoncookies Enjoy the day! GL with the students being back next week. Have you been remote this entire time?

WAYDTGKU: charting
R/R: I slept last night for the first time in a week. It was wonderful. I am thankful for the weekend and very much looking forward to the holiday break
CS/Q: I've been using TD so idk how accurate these temps are (it takes 60 days to get the algorithm). I kind of like not worrying about temping though so I think we are just going to take it easy this cycle, focusing more on CM and maybe OPKs. It's funny bc you only use temping to confirm ovulation but why does it feel like the most stressful part of all of this?? Weird temp spike this morning but it could just be because I slept like a log last night (according to DH)
@runningoncookies I'm a director for a small, multi-location nonprofit recreational facility for kids and adults, but, being very small, I do all of the bookkeeping, plus run the retail section of the business, a lot of the office management, teach 7-10 hours per week, and I pick up parts of other peoples' jobs when they need help (which lately is everyone most of the time). TGIF for sure, will all of your conferences be virtual?
@Aerialmrs wow! That’s a big job! I can see how you could get easily overwhelmed with all that going on! Yep, conferences are all virtual which is really nice, especially because about half of the parents who want me to come scheduled times at night. I hate being in school at night it just feels weird and wrong haha
@Aerialmrs ugh, I'm sorry work is being overwhelming. I hope it calms back down for you soon.
@chindimples04 virtual hugs for you and your husband today. My husband's grandmother passed in May, and a COVID funeral is definitely different. I hope you can both find comfort in happy memories.
@runningoncookies booo for in-person work restarting! Is it permanently in person or only for the conferences?
@fameonmain2 that's awesome on the sleep! It makes such a big difference.

WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opk, cinnamon
R/R: only a lab and a final to go before I'm done for the semester, woo! Planning to spend today sewing - giving new life to an old rocking chair, and working on Christmas gift pj pants for my parents/siblings/BIL. Planning to start HIO every other day starting tomorrow. Also looking for recipes that include cinnamon since I tried hard to like the cinnamon tea but failed.
CS/Q: nothing exciting
