CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: PNV BBT OPK CM

R/R: Hubs got home early last night he was able to sneak away from work a few hours ahead of schedule. I think we’re going to go out to dinner tonight too. Tomorrow after he leaves I plan on doing some gardening in the afternoon which I lothe but the garden beds need it badly. 

CS/Q: I think the OPK was positive today if it wasn’t it was barley negative so that super exciting. My temp dropped to the lowest it has been this morning too so I’m curious what will happen now. I’m looking forward to having at least a month or two completed so I have something to compare to in the future.

@daisy0322 your chart looks great! When I'm temping my temp often drops for a few days before O, I know it's a pattern I've seen on other charts, too. SO glad you are getting extra time with YH this weekend! What kind of restaurant are you going to?

Month/Cycle: 11

CD: 19

WAYDTGKU: 

R/R: So I'm actually not sure if I belong here, temping is not going great this month and I haven't been using OPKs so I might be in the dark. Haven't noticed CM early like I did last month so it's possible I haven't O'ed yet? Aside from last month and the first 2 months off BC, I usually O between CD20-22. I don't necessarily mind being in the dark but if I've already O'ed.... timing was not great. Oh well, trying to get myself into gear for temping (I have a temp drop, how hard can it be haha). Anyways, absolutely gorgeous out today, MH & I are taking the dog on a hike to a place we go to all the time but going to try out a new trail. Otherwise, just crossing things off the to-do list this weekend!

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, PNV, timing

R/R: Life remains dumb stressful and I'm over it. 

CS/Q: Nope.

Have a good weekend, y'all.

daisy0322

@fameonmain2 thanks 😁 I’m actually really hoping for a Monday O even though it’ll *probably* be Tuesday. MH told me to pick a place for dinner since he goes out all the time with guys he’s working with and I thinking I want seafood after my conversation with @anniemarie887 this week. Hiking sounds fun! We used to go a lot. What kind of homes do you like? 

@beakay8 Im sorry everything is so stressful right now ♥️ I hope you get a break soon. 

chgilmore

@beakay8 sorry for CD 1 and sorry everything is stressful I hope you have things this weekend that can feed your needs

@daisy0322 to me it looks like O is either tomorrow or Monday so fx the timing works out for you! very glad you get more quality time with YH

@fameonmain2 I love that hike idea with the pup! it sounds so lovely. fx no O yet 

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: pnv, bbt, cm/cp, CBAD/opk

R/R: it's a gloomy day today but I'm looking forward to shopping at the public market again and picking up my new favorite treat - crumpets!

CS/Q: started opks today, will resume CBAD tomorrow. I anticipate a delayed O because of all the graduation/thesis stress

b_1029

@daisy0322 hope you all have some nice quality time this weekend! Both TTC quality time and otherwise 😉 when I was temping I remember mine dipping slightly right before O but I’m locked out of my FF account so I can’t tell you for sure. 

@fameonmain2 if you haven’t noticed any CM, maybe you just haven’t O’d yet and you’ll still be ok timing wise! Hope you all have fun this weekend enjoying the weather! 

@beakay8 sorry for CD 1 and life stress. Hope you’re able to relax some this weekend!

@chgilmore I’ve never had a crumpet but they sound so sophisticated 😆 do you have them with tea too? Haha. I feel dumb but am drawing a blank on what CBAD is?

Month/Cycle: 2

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, CM, prenatals

R/R: i didn’t realize I was only on CD 8 when I did my first OPK yesterday, oops hah. In the past when I’ve tracked my cycle, I O’d around CD 11-12. With stress and taking different medication for migraines the past few months, my cycles have been anywhere from 25-31 days so better safe than sorry! Anyway, it’s a beautiful day here and I’m hiding out in the bathroom so I don’t have to clean the entire house before people come over in about 1.5 hours 🤣 I’m excited for our first party in our new house! And excited to not look like a troll for a day since I WFH and barely change out of my PJs 

CS/Q: nothing to see

I can’t remember who asked what we are having for our Derby party, but we’re just having people bring appetizer type stuff. We’re making sliders and I know someone’s bringing Buffalo chicken dip, baked beans, and grits...maybe some fruit? Then dessert, obviously. No idea the exact menu though but we aren’t making like a legit meal. I already know I’m going to eat a lot.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone! We're having a cookout today with vaccinated friends that we haven't seen in almost 2 years between life and then pandemic (we usually do a big get together once a year & the last one planned was March 2020, which we obviously cancelled). That's definitely filling my well, as is lurking here while I deal with CD 1 blues. (It always makes me sad from, like, the hormones crash hahaha.)

I'm lurking and loving reading y'all's updates but not plugged in much for chat this weekend. to everyone, though.

@daisy0322 I'm glad you were able to sneak away yesterday! It sounds like the timing might work out 🤞! Curious to see your temp tomorrow.

@fameonmain2 enjoy your hike! 

@beakay8 I hope things start looking up for you. Hopefully May is better ❤️.

@CHGilmore the market sounds lovely! 

@b_1029 have fun at your party! 

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: Letrozole/Mira

R/R: I'm annoyed. I tried to use the Mira monitor today for the first time and it isn't working. It won't turn on and won't charge. I'm unreasonably upset by it...like almost in tears. I'm going to blame the letrozole for making me emotional. Idk. Otherwise, we are just home this weekend. I'll probably make a Target run soon to do some retail therapy lol. 

CS/Q: nope

chgilmore

@b_1029 that Derby party sounds divine! buffalo chicken dip is one of my favorites. I feel you on the WFH vs party outfits - it's nice to have an excuse to "get ready"! crumpets sound fancy but it's a pretty nice breakfast base, it's like a pancake and an english muffin put together. light and fluffy and can be savory or sweet. CBAD stands for the clearblue advanced digital kit for ovulation (the one with the digital display and "learns" your LH and estrogen surges around O).

@beakay8 that get together sounds like perfect timing

@kgg2241 it was lovely! brought home some fresh flowers and took some pre-emptive graduation pictures. I'm sorry for the hormones emotions! getting out to Target sounds fun do you ever play a game, like "find the worst x" in each section?

daisy0322

@b_1029 it was me who asked 😂 I y’all about food a lot lol sounds fabulous though I hope y’all enjoyed yourselves!

@kgg2241 ugh I’m sorry your monitor isn’t working that is so frustrating especially because they can be pricey. 

@chgilmore thanks! I’m guessing Monday. The crumpets sound so interesting I’m going to have to look into that! I’m picturing it with strawberries and cream in my head 😋 I alway love those pubic open air markets I missed them last year during Covid I’m glad you can go and enjoy 

inthewoods23

@daisy0322 are you testing with OPKs multiple times a day or just once? Just curious. It's always possible you got the beginning or end of the surge.

@fameonmain2 I agree you likely haven't O'ed yet. Idk if it's just me but I feel like those that do have a temp drop have a hard time using it or getting it to work lol

@beakay8 sorry for CD1

@chgilmore the markets are something I wish we did more often. The weather has been so nice this weekend I'd love to get some fresh food!

@b_1029 hope everything went great at the party yesterday!

@kgg2241 I hope you get your Mira working! I know that device is not cheap!

Month/Cycle: 6 AL 

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, temping, CM, GF and DF diet

R/R: I sliced my thumb a bit with my avocado tool yesterday 😬. Ouch. It's 2.5 months until our summer vacation and I'm already thinking about my packing list. Finally bought a pair of high waisted swimsuit bottoms. The regular bikini bottoms make me feel like my ass crack is hanging out. I hope I picked the right size. And FX I'm using them to hide early pregnancy bloat 🤞 😅 We're at a lake house so we have to bring our own food which of course for me means figuring out GF and DF options for things.

CS/Q: weird consistent temps for the last few days. Can't complain. Better than rocky mountain temps like previous cycles

fameonmain2

@daisy0322 gosh I love seafood. I hope the dinner was yummy!! We do just about everything, yesterday we went to a state park that I take the dog to solo all the time. When I'm by myself, I'll stick to the main trail but on nice weekend days that place gets absolutely mobbed and it's not super enjoyable. But there's a ton of side smaller trails that all connect to each other which we had not tried yet, so that's what we did yesterday. We LOVED it. It was rocky and there was a bit of climb in places and plenty of pools of water for the pup to cool off! We will for sure be doing those trails again!!

@ch_gilmore ohh, crumpets sound lovely. I've been following your thesis stress but I'm not sure I saw the resolution... did your advisor finally accept?

@b_1029 the food at your derby party sounds AMAZING. How did it go??

@beakay8 hugs to you I hope the cookout was fun!! I got to see some of my girlfriends for brunch for the first time in a year last weekend and it was the absolute best. Nice to be getting back to a sense of normal.

@kgg2241 ugh, I'm sorry about the Mira. It's so frustrating when you pay a good chunk of money for something and it doesn't work. Not to mention the let down about not being able to use it. Were you able to troubleshoot at all?

@inthewoods23 I had a ton of cramping last night so I think you're all probably right that I haven't O'ed yet... just a weird cycle last month I guess! I really love my temp drop but I have just been soooo lazy the past couple of months... like, lazy to the point that I don't feel like putting it on when I lay down. Really no excuse lol. Also LOVE high waisted swimsuits. FX they will come in handy just in time  

daisy0322

@fameonmain2 that sounds lovely! I’m so glad you had a good time. It’s definitely been a beautiful weekend here too. 

@inthewoods23 i usually just do one OPK a day. Friday night it was almost positive Saturday positive in the afternoon then negative that night and this morning. But still fairly dark just not as dark.  PS My avocado tool always ends up injuring me too. 

chgilmore

@fameonmain2 lol you haven't missed anything. no acceptance yet...I resubmitted Tuesday and haven't heard back at all. we're supposed to meet tomorrow. fx this resolves ASAP because it's due in 3 days.
@inthewoods23 ouch!!!! the vacation planning does sound like something fun to look forward to, even if it involves a lot of logistics. definitely try a local market if you can! maybe it's just me, but the food tastes so much better.
