Re: WTO Monday 3/21

  • Month/Cycle: 7/7 AL

    CD: 16

    WAYDTGKU: vitamins, OPKs, ubiquinol, letrozole, progesterone

    R/R: I think today is O day. I have had more high OPKs this month than usual and this O is later than usual. Not sure if it is the letrozole or my body just laughing at me thinking there is a pattern I can count on. Either way, hopefully moving to the TWW tomorrow. I'm annoyed that DH didn't want to DTD last night, but hopefully we can squeeze in one more tonight. 

    CS/Q: Nope

    GTKY: What's for dinner this week? Chicken pot pie is first up on my list. DH cooks a lot of our meals, but there are certain dishes I am always in charge of (and this is one of them).

    R/R: Can't believe I'm still spotting. Almost 3 weeks and multiple ruined pairs of underwear later, I finally sent a message to my Dr. Wondering what she'll say

    CS/Q: nope

    GTKY: What's for dinner this week? Leftover ribs tonight, tacos tomorrow. that's about all i've planned out so far!

  • @bearmomma1 I'm sorry you're still spotting! Hopefully your doctor will have an answer for you as to why or next steps. 
  • @abjm0325 I hope YH is on board for some sexy times today. 
    @bearmomma1 ooph... the spotting sounds pretty suspect. I hope your doctor runs some test to see what's happening. 

    Month/Cycle: 26/20/3AL

    CD: 6

    WAYDTGKU: our "hail Mary" final medicated cycle before a FET: Letrazole + Gonal F + sexy times; Prednisone, Crinone after O, and baby aspirin. Plus all the vitamins and supplements. 

    R/R: I had a pretty productive weekend! On Saturday, MH and I relaxed (because we both had a crazy crazy week) and finally pulled the trigger on some home furnishing/decor purchases we've been contemplating. And then we celebrated with lots of wine. I also cooked the Irish stew that I had planned for St. Patty's but didn't get around to since I ended up working a 12 hour day. I also made gluten-free, dairy-free, egg free banana bread and it actually turned out pretty well. A couple of tweaks can be made, but I think it's about 85% there. And then on Sunday we "recovered" from Saturday and I also unpacked a bunch of boxes in our bedroom that have been lingering from the move. Overall, an enjoyable and a super productive weekend. 

    CS/Q: Nope. 

    GTKY: What's for dinner this week? TBD. Lol. I ended up getting a meal service 2 weeks ago, and instead of them being food prep kits, they ended up being prepackaged meals that I really hate. So, MH has valiantly offered to eat them on my behalf. I feel bad, but he hates wasting food so it makes him happy. Anyways, that means I'm kinda on my own for dinners while he makes it through those prepackaged meals.

  • @acleverusername Way to go for your H taking care of those meals! I also use DH to eat the leftovers I don't want as he is often more willing. Sounds like it was a really great weekend for you all!
