Month/Cycle: 26/20/3AL

CD: 14

WAYDTGKU: super-o cycle with timed intercourse. All the meds and supps and vits. 

R/R: I've had this perma-headache hanging around for the past 2 days and I'm not sure what to do about it. Tylenol isn't helping. Grrr. It makes me feel eek. Also, I forgot that I have an endocrinologist appointment today at 11am; totally forgot to block it in my work schedule and obviously scheduled a meeting over it. Doh! Very unlike me, but I guess I'm bound to drop a ball here and there. 

Anywho, I trigged last night. I had a funny exchange with my doctor over email (she's was like "FANTASTIC, YOU'LL OVULATE 3 MATURE EGGS" AND "WOOOOOOOOW") and I replied to her "TRIPLETS HERE WE COME" with a gif from Parc and Rec (for anyone who's watched the show, you'll know what I'm referring to). Anyways, the doctor replied back saying "you're the best!!! you're doing awesome and I can't wait to see what happens this cycle!"

CS/Q: Nope.

@acleverusername I love Parks and Rec! 

Month/Cycle: 1/1 post IUD

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, CBAD, so much sex, etc etc

R/R: Rave - fiiiiiinally got my peak reading this morning! I’ve gotten that damn flashing smiley three days in a row which I’ll take but I was starting to worry the solid guy was a myth. Rant - not really a rant but a little annoying - since this is my first cycle post IUD my apps didn’t have a lot to go off of for predicting O. Initially it had my window from CD10-15 so guess who got to business days 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14? Yesterday we missed because I had class and we were both so tired. So it’s a good thing I guess that I have an extra day or 2 except the first thing to happen this morning after my peak test was an argument with my husband because he woke up grumpy AS HELL. So either I am going to try and make tonight nice and relaxing to seduce him OR angry sex it is! I’m not missing peak day damnit!

CS/Q: not now

mrsmtothek

@acleverusername Lots of water and rest if you can for that headache! I'm sorry you feel gross.

@mamafox14 It's so frustrating when you have to DTD and you're pissed at each other. For me I have to do conflict resolution before or it's just a hot mess. I can't with the angry sex lol.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, HIU, vitamins

R/R: Starting to feel sick...my anxiety peaks so much when I'm sick and it being only Tuesday, I'm just soooo not geared up for the week ahead. My house is also a mess after having our folks here this weekend and damnit it's so annoying - I had this place in museum quality condition before they arrived. My house just doesn't stay clean for long I guess. 

CS/Q: Temp spike this AM. No peak LH yet. I have a feeling this cycle is going to be a wonky one.

@mrsmtothek yeah angry sex can be fun but I’d prefer it be cheerier. He already texted and apologized to me as soon as he got to work and we talked about it. We did marriage counseling prior to TTC so we’ve been working hard on communicating and resolving miscommunications or conflicts rationally. 

ETA I just texted him and told him to spend his whole work day getting as horny as possible and he agreed to this plan 😂

@mamafox14 maybe angry sex is what makes babies? I never thought to try that! Maybe that’s the missing ingredient!

@mrsmtothek I’m feeling the same way about pre- and post- visitors house condition. Lol. We had cleaners in on Saturday morning and now it’s all yucky again. Dog being sick definitely didn’t help. Why are you so anxious about the week ahead?

ReadyForaB

@acleverusername I had a headache literally all last week (I get them regularly but not like that) and now I am SO sick. Worked from home yesterday but back in the office today. I stole a conference room on my break and put my head down for an hour. Zzzzzzz

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: PNV, trying to time BD

R/R:  I temped the last few times we were TTC but have had such a hard time keeping up with it this time around. Probably bc I’ve been sick. Although, in the past, with temping my cycles have always been super regular. (I know I know, you’re regular until you aren’t) 

CS/Q: I see a lot more ladies seem to have gone away from BBT and are using OPK. I never have used OPK. Maybe I should give them a try. Can you buy cheap ones in bulk like pregnancy tests? Where does everyone buy from?

WAYDTGKU: pnv, OPKs, daily BD

R/R: rant: I got a Charlie horse in my hamstring... TWICE.... last night while having sex. It was so incredibly painful and I told DH to just finish because I wasn't wasting the opportunity but I couldn't deal with it a third time if we kept going. It was honestly hilarious looking back. Rave: I got my peak today! Solid, dark line on the cheapies and a solid smiley on CB. 

CS/Q: n/a

Anyone else have hilarious sex stories (hilarious may be a stretch for mine)? 

firecracker_mama

@ReadyForaB I started just using the CB tests but they're expensive so I thought I'd give the cheaper ones a go from Amazon. I used the cheaper ones until I noticed the line getting close to the same color as the control and then used the CB tests

*lurking*

@firecracker_mama ok, so, I had the same exact thing happen once… 😂😂😂 

TW: PG mentioned

When we were trying for our first, I got seriously bad hamstring cramps right at O time. So bad that I was on top and fell off the bed. I made an off hand joke about how “this will be the time we end up pregnant and we will always have this story to tell!” Well, 12 days later, BFP. So positive thoughts?! Lol

firecracker_mama

@ejoseph16 hahahaha omg I'm glad I'm not the only one that's happened to but also maybe it's good luck 🤪

acleverusername

@ejoseph16 LOL I rofl’ed at your falling off your bed. I do get leg cramps sometimes during sex. So I’ll look forward to having one as a good luck sign!

mamafox14

@ejoseph16 okay I love that story haha and funny enough yesterday I got my peak reading so we went for it right when my husband got home - and I ended up with the worst calf cramps in both legs but just powered through and then basically collapsed as soon as we were done because they had cramped up so bad I couldn’t stand 😂

here’s hoping it was good luck! 

firecracker_mama

Ok y'all, I think we need to eat some bananas or something with all these muscle cramps 🤪🤪🤪

mrsmtothek

Me over here still having sore thighs from DTD 2 days ago  One time DH and I were doing it and my legs cramped up so badly I had to keep stopping, right before he would finish.

@mamafox14 I did the same as you, powered through and fell to the floor lol.

acleverusername

LOL @firecracker_mama. It's good advice, for sure. I've started taking magnesium EOD just in case.
