WAYDTGKU: PNV BBT

R/R: Hubby is home today 😍 Im so excited to see him he really is my best friend. 

CS/Q: out of curiosity i bought some OPKs too. Previously when I was having issues they were always blaringly positive. However I took one yesterday afternoon and there were two lines but the control line was darker than the test line. That is what it should look like CD6 correct? 

@ReadyForaB I always think getting ready for pictures is so stressful! Will your sister help you decide? 

@anniemarie887 i don’t remember the last time I didn’t wear leggings somewhere haha It’s April I’m impressed you made it 4 months 😁

@boymama2018 preach girl

@ReadyForaB perks of it being my office. @daisy0322 it's just sad b/c i have a decade of really nice professional clothing... just wasting away. but i have zero desire to wear any of it. the idea of like a pencil skirt, or suit/sheath dress... barf. no thanks. i guess i should donate/sell at this point?!

@anniemarie887 when I worked I wore scrubs so I don’t know what I’m talking about haha but my husband does wear suits and ties a lot to work but he mixes in about 2 or 3 days a week that he wears kakis or dark jeans. I don’t think it has to be all or nothing

@anniemarie887 the fancy sweatshirt makes up for any leggings. Also, no need to make excuses for yourself. Just own it! (PS I had to drop by the office this week and I kind of made is part of other errands trip. Well, much to late I realize that I was wearing the rattiest of my sweat pants and sweat shirts and my hair was in total disarray. I was like "FU... I've forgotten how to dress for the office!" Anyway, I had a beanie hat so I put that on to cover up my hair, and zippered up my jacket. I still looked like sh*t but it was passable.)

@ReadyForaB ooooh a photo shoot! What's it for?! Good luck with outfit choosing; hopefully your sis can lend a hand. My sister is excellent at giving her very frank opinion on my choice of outfits. Lol. 

@daisy0322 Yay for YH being home! So cute that he's your best friend. (Although, and this may be FFFC, I do have a thing when ppl announce on Facebook that "today, I married my best friend"... MH is a great friend, but my best friend is still my best friend.)

Month/Cycle: 16/16

CD: 17

WAYDTGKU: lots of stuff, but most IVF prep this cycle

R/R: my hipflexors were hurting so badly all day yesterday, and I remembered that I've noticed that before so of course I started looking on Dr. Google. Well, guess what... endometriosis came up as a frequent cause of hip flexor pain. Anywho, not gonna freak out for now but will run it by my RE. 

Also, managed to get an appointment with genetic counselor for MH and I to discuss his SDHA gene issues. AND, I shared this with someone I met on another fertility forum (she's a scientist / works in a lab on human stuff) and she found an research article that said that this could the be cause of sperm production impairment. I'm checking this with RE too but she (RE) had already told me that she suspected our sperm issues are due to genetics. So, this would make soooo much sense. 

CS/Q: too lazy to post today; temps are staying low, CM is not looking very fertile, OPKs are still negative, so I figured it's a few more days before O.

@acleverusername yeah the cringy fb post are awful i just mean it in a real life way 😂 he actually is my best friend

@daisy0322 @acleverusername My sister was a huge help in helping me ultimately decide.  Our styles are a little different but I was very happy with what we chose. She rented a beautiful couch and setup from a local vendor and sat them outside at a state park.  It was gorgeous.  The perks of being her sister is I always get to be her test subject.  I go first and she makes sure her camera is all set to how it should be for the rest of the clients that day.

The shoot was for Mother's Day, like a mommy and me session.
