Re: WTO Wednesday 9/22
Month/Cycle: 34/37
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: The usual + Clomid IUI
R/R: Took my first dose of clomid last night and so far so good! I ended up having a migraine yesterday so I was nervous about the clomid on top of it but I seem to be okay. I did go to bed at 8 so that helped! I have a crap ton of work to do and am hoping for a productive day!
CS/Q:
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: The usual suspects
R/R: It's Wednesday! We are halfway through the week friends!
CS/Q: Had a slight BBT dip this AM, but went to bed a little bit later than we usually do last night. I need to stop watching TikTok before bed, I get so caught up in that!
@bows22 - yay for first dose of Clomid, boo for the migraine! Going to be at 8 sounds amazing!
DD: 07/19/18
EDD: 06/22/22
@bows22 I hope today is migraine-free.
@ajsanders-2 Haha, I have avoided tiktok at all costs bc I'm old and crotchety. I'm sure it would suck me in if I had it though
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 18
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, sex
R/R: Meh. Glad I avoided Teams today but I'll be back on tomorrow.
CS/Q: Still WTO but at least my chart is looking nice and consistent so I think it will be clear whenever it arrives.
DD: 07/19/18
EDD: 06/22/22
Month/Cycle: 1/1 AL (+ a few more, but I think I might just start over counting for purposes on this board)
CD: 1… Y’all, I belong somewhere again!
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, vitamins
R/R: Very glad to start a new cycle! TTCAL ladies, you can ignore my question from yesterday. 😉 I also have lunch plans with two good friends, so today is shaping up to be a pretty good day. Weird when AF is part of it being a good day, but life is weird right now. My rant is work-related and is just massive frustration with a co-worker who doesn’t want to pull their weight and be part of the team.
CS/Q: Nope
@bows22 Yay for starting clomid!
@ajsanders-2 I am old like @Paturkey in that I haven’t dived into TikTok, but I’m sure I would be greatly entertained.
@ajsanders-2 any time I hear that we’re halfway there… ever… 🤣🤣
Month/Cycle: 4/4AL
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: Opk & bbt
R/R: Am I the only one who has to look on ff everyday (every single day!!) to see what cd/dpo I am? Why can’t I remember this stuff? Lol. Ugh. I had to take my temp 2hrs earlier this morning because I was awake and had to get out of bed. My chart will never be nice lol. It’s rainy here today but I’m fine with it because at least it’s cool out! Also, I have a great fffc and I never think of these on the right day so now I have to try and remember for the rest of the week. Lol.
CS/Q:
@paytonpedro - now that song has been stuck in my head all morning!
DD: 07/19/18
EDD: 06/22/22
@ajsanders-2 I hope your day goes by quickly after your late night haha!
@Paturkey glad you are getting a break from Teams too! I also will be back to a million meetings tomorrow
@abjm0325 I’m glad your new cycle started!
@paytonpedro I think clomid has a reputation for wreaking havoc. I’ve seen hot flashes mentioned on here and my RE warned me about headaches too. And I would also not remember my CD but I keep the dailies on a note in my phone and copy/paste, so I just advance the day by 1 each day!
@bows22 sorry about the migraine, those suck butt, but fingers crossed the clomid continues to not negatively affect that end of things.
@ajsanders-2 I've never really gotten into TikTok, I just watch YouTube videos of other people reacting to TikToks lol.
@Paturkey nice, a clean chart is always nice
@abjm0325 sounds like you have a good day planned! Sorry your coworker is being difficult.
@paytonpedro YES I always open TTGP, start typing my post, then pop to FF to see what cycle day I was on. Every single day.
Month/Cycle: 11/11
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: bbt, opks, cm, cinnamon, metformin for me, vit e and c for him
R/R: so busy today! I swear Wednesday feels like the convergence of everything in my week, because my classes are weighted heavily to Tues-Thurs. Also today is the first try for the "real" version of a weekly assignment, so there's some nerves there.
CS/Q: poor FF isn't going to know what to do with my temps this month, my bedroom temp has fluctuated too much.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 5
WAYDTGKU: BD / OPK / temp
R/R: I’m a month and a half into the school year and for once NOT burnt out yet. I am looooving my new job this year it’s crazy. I’m also making some dinosaur cookies tonight and excited to get back into decorating cookies!
CS/Q: this is kind of a serious question, but *how* do y’all wake up enough when your alarm goes off to check your temperature right away but without moving too much and causing your temp to rise?? It stresses me out! Haha
@paytonpedro yes I check every single day! Even if I do remember, I just want to look anyway lol.
@abjm0325 so glad you got your CD1 today, and sorry about your coworker!
@paturkey ooh nice that you have a good solid chart. I usually don’t ovulate until CD18, hope it comes soon for you!
@bows22 I hope your day is turning out productive like you hoped. And best of luck with clomid!
I hope you can get everything done that you need to today! My chart looked similar to that last cycle but I still had a shift and marked my not quite positive as a positive so it still gave me CH’s. I hope it can figure it out for you as well.
@paytonpedro Now I’m wondering what you fffc is 😊
@fantasyflyte I hope your “real” assignment goes well!
@singing_koala That is awesome about your job and about the dinosaur cookies! I don't think I have the patience to be much of a cookie decorator, but it always seems like fun.
I have bought 3 maternity shirts in the past 4 months in hopes of a possible (healthy) pregnancy, and one was just this morning on Poshmark. I just keep packing them away but like I couldn’t resist a brand new shirt for $6. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@ajsanders-2 I’m in the group of people avoiding tiktok. I’ve managed to purge most of my social media addictions and definitely don’t want the temptation lol
@Paturkey Hope you enjoyed the virtual meeting break!
@abmj0325 Hope you had a nice lunch with friends
@paytonpedro I feel like other cycles I’ve known exactly where I was at all times but this time I’m just blissfully ignoring it until posting time.
@fantasyflyte Going back to yesterday, congrats on the job! And holy cow that is quite the mountainous chart lol
@singing_koala Love decorating cookies! I really only do it at Christmas time though and it looks like a bunch of kindergartners invaded my kitchen. One of my cookie cutters is a T-Rex though and I enjoy giving him a scarf.
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: bbt, cm
R/R: Slightly stressed because DH’s work situation is a bit unstable at the moment. We’ll be ok whatever happens, but I just don’t like not having a plan. Trying really hard to give him the space to figure out what will make him happy.
CS/Q: General plan from the obgyn visit yesterday is to push DH to get a SA and try to confirm if I’m ovulating from the polycystic ovary. I’m a little less worried about it right now (though that’s possibly because I’m early in WTO and always feel optimistic during this stage lol). Temp still seems a little high to me.
