WAYDTGKU: Clomid & TI, PNV, OPKs

R/R: I mentioned in the IF thread but my doctor is using me do Clomid this cycle instead of Letrozole. I was kinda surprised he switched me after only one cycle on Letrozole but hopefully Clomid will work! I didn’t get around to all my baking plans yesterday so hopefully I’ll do that today. The recipe I had for peach salsa makes a gallon which is crazy excessive unless I’m canning it, which I wasn’t planning to do.

WAYDTGKU: Temps, CM, CP, OPK

R/R: I have a busy night tonight, which is a rant because it'll be tiring but a rave because it's good stuff.  I have a haircut at 6 and a meeting to start a Friends group for the library I'm on the board of at 7:30 and a writing class meeting at 8:15. Then, my brother, who lives in AZ, usually calls around 10:15 when he gets off work on Fridays because he knows I'm up for the class. So It'll be a late night and hopefully I don't suffer tomorrow!

CS/Q: Nope. Expect the temp dip tomorrow after a peak OPK reading this morning. I'm going to test three times again because it was so interesting to see the progression from low to peak between yesterday and today, and I'm wondering how quickly I'll go back down to low. 

ETA tags:

@gingermama29 a gallon is so much! And you can't freeze peaches well can you? You could always give it away to friends/coworkers/family? But that's like 8 pints right?

WAYDTGKU: benched

R/R: I have nothing today, it’s supposed to be rainy here today- same as yesterday. I’m hoping to be a little more productive around the house today. I’ve just been mopey and taking it easy all week so our bags are literally still packed from last week. I did do all the laundry, but of course that’s not folded. Just a lot to do at home. 

 

CS/Q: I was going to start temping today and I forgot. 

@gingermama29 a gallon! Oh goodness! I was going to suggest giving it away as well, or cutting the recipe in half/fourths. 

@SmashJam what a busy night! And so organized lol. I could never fit that many things so neatly into one night. I’ve used 3 opks in a day when I’m right at my peak. I feel like it definitely gives me better insight. 

fameonmain2

@gingermama29 a gallon?! Whoa, that's a lot. Canning is such a pain. Can you cut the recipe?

@smashjam good luck with your busy night! A 10:15 phone would be a wee bit past my usual bed time haha.

@paytonpedro be gentle with yourself this week I constantly put off folding laundry - it's a terrible habit. Remind me - did your OB suggest that you stay benched this cycle?

WAYDTGKU: charting

R/R: Tropical storm Elsa is here and goodness are we getting a lot of rain! I am parking it inside today - even my dog hasn't asked to go out yet, haha. Right now I'm prepping for tutoring in a couple of hours and then I plan on cleaning the kitchen, which I've been avoiding for a few days now. I also had someone else reach out to me for tutoring and it's more local so I'm excited about that - hopefully it works out! If I could do a consistent 3-5 hours a week that would be so helpful for the mortgage payment!

CS/Q:

paytonpedro

@fameonmain2 she did. Yes. I think mostly for dating purposes but I’m kind of ok with it. I haven’t been watching the news at all and I keep seeing Elsa rain mentioned. I wonder if that’s what we’ve got going on. My dogs hate the rain too. Lol. I have to nudge them out the door and most times they just stand there and don’t go. 

Edit to add: my dr also said no sex until next week Wednesday… that I’m having a little more trouble with… is that normal, that recomendation?

@paytonpedro

 *not a doctor* but, as long as you aren't bleeding anymore I think it's ok. You just don't want to get an infection, that's why they say to wait. I totally forgot to ask my OB when I had my MC 🤦‍♀️ but I waited a bit longer anyway since I wasn't ready.

CD: 80? Day one of Estrogen (If i pick it up in time)

WAYDTGKU: HRT and Fermara

R/R: ugh got into a argument with my husband this morning - we really rarely do that. So I feel kind of bad but also still mad at him.

CS/Q:
Im done with temping and done with OPKs! it’s kind of a relief I was so stressed about it but with all these simulated hormones there’s no point. 

@gingermama29 i hope the clomid works better for you! I wonder how they work differently. I’ve not looked into the pharmacokinetics 

@smashjam girl you’re busy! I hope your haircut goes well. I’m always nervous I won’t like it lol

Finish later I gotta go ...

SmashJam

back for more tags! 

@daisy0322 sorry about the argument! Arguments in the morning always leave me feeling wonky, like something is unfinished. Hope you guys work it out soon! And the hair is just bangs and eyebrows. I go every three weeks for something different-it's like my alone time. THis week is bangs and eyebrows, next time is trim and bangs, the time after is bangs,eyebrows, and a touch up on my color (I have purple, blue and sometimes on my under layers). 

@paytonpedro ugh I'm the worst with laundry. I swear I just finished laundry from months ago-I can finally see the floor in my room and also found things I'd forgotten existed! lol. Also, I'm not that organized-I'm lucky I didn't double book. I scheduled the library Friends thing and forgot about the haircut and the class starting back up today, lol. I've had a 4 week break from the classes so it wasn't on my radar. 

@fameonmain2 I hope you are relatively unscathed from Elsa and its just a lot of rain! Also, I'm lucky, my bro called on his way to work today, instead of after, so I get to go to bed at 10:15.

pinkkillersheep

Still thinking about this peach salsa @gingermama29 is talking about. I volunteer to take at least a quart of it.

@paytonpedro my laundry from roughly three weeks ago is still sitting in the basket. I've given up hope for this load and will try harder for the next one.

Month/Cycle: 2/3

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm, opks

R/R: Today was ok. I'm procrastinating on my readings for class that starts in...an hour... I committed to way too many MBA classes this semester and am barely holding it together. I have three more weeks of the insane schedule I'm trying to keep up and praying I find a way to stay sane.

CS/Q: none

SmashJam

@pinkkillersheep I'm laughing out loud at your "given up hope for this load and will try harder for the next one"...it's what I think about most housework all the time. Also...good luck getting through the next three weeks! You can do it!

gingermama29

Ooof sorry for ghosting today. Back for tags!

@SmashJam yeah I definitely could share but I opted for a different recipe. Definitely sounds like you had a busy day! 

@paytonpedro I’m so over this rainy weather every day. Am I correct in remembering that we’re both wnyers?

@fameonmain2 yay for new tutoring opportunities!

@pinkkillersheep ooof wishing you good luck for the next 3 weeks. Grad school is no joke! Hang in there!

paytonpedro

@gingermama29 yes both wnyers! I definitely forgot about that. Haha. Totally crazy how we could have almost 100 degree temps to in the 50’s. I’m not complaining about these cool nights though. 

@pinkkillersheep you can do it!! I hope these next 3 weeks go by quickly for you!
