GTKY: What do you do to relax?
Re: TWW Tuesday
CD/DPO: 44/12
Timing: ED
Testing Plans: BFNs all around
Rants/Raves/CS: **CHILD MENTIONED ** Had to temp at 5:30am because DS wet himself. Temp dropped by .4, but who the hell knows what that means since it was at least an hour before I normally temp and pretty sure I didn't sleep well before it. It's still above CL, although really just waiting for AF at this point. My ILs are staying with us, and I didn't go straight to DS because of temping and DH was a sloth, so MIL went to him. She decides it would be a good idea to take him downstairs with no regard for the time (he usually gets up no earlier than 6:30). But worse than that, he's soaked through his PJs and she doesn't bother to change his diaper or clothes. REALLY? So not only do you not try to get him back down, but you thought it would be a good idea to keep him cold and wet???? SMH. End rant.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? I usually go to the bookstore and breathe in all the books. I seriously need that right now. With a Starbucks preferably.
CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: -2, -4
Testing Plans: bfn today.
Rants/Raves/CS: meh.
GTKY: What do you do to relax?
I leave DS with DH and sit in a comfy chair at Starbucks and read books I've already read before. Usually Harry Potter.
CD/DPO: 26/6
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing Plans: Waiting until at least 10 DPO.
Rants/Raves/CS: My allergies are still bugging me. I keep waking up with itchy eyes and a stuffed up nose and throat yuck. No normal post O symptoms for me though, which is nice, because I'll do without the sore boobs and cramps for as long as I can.
GTKY: What do you do to relax?
CD/DPO: 23/7
Timing: -3, -2, 0
Testing Plans: Aiming for 17 DPO (the 18th) if AF doesn't show.
Rants/Raves/CS: It's already Tuesday, yay for a short week!
GTKY: What do you do to relax? I love to have alone time, but don't get it often. DH leaves for work after me and is home before me, so alone time is gold. I usually decompress on my 30 min drive home from work. My favorite thing I do to relax is reading a good book with a cup of hot coffee or tea.
CD/DPO: 34/10
Timing: -4
Testing Plans: none
Rants/Raves/CS: Driving home today so I'll be stuck in the car for 10hrs. I'm glad DH is driving so I can try and slog through Anna Karenina. I'm halfway through and still waiting for it to get interesting.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? I read or watch trashy tv. I'm very excited to have a new episode of Teen Mom 2 waiting on the DVR for when we get home.
Month/Cycle: 2/1
CD/DPO: 43/13
Timing: -1, 0, +1
Testing Plans: After BFNs every day from 9dpo - 12dpo, I was expecting a temp drop today and AF today or tomorrow (LP has been 13-14 days the 2 previous months I've been charting). Woke up this AM without a temp drop, so tested and got a super squinter. Going to buy an FRER on my way home from work.
Rants/Raves/CS: Cramping, worst around 11 dpo. Not much else.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? I love watching Criminal Minds and DH and I like to do the NYTimes crosswords on the app. I also love being outside/going for walks when the weather is nice.
CD/DPO: 39/4
Timing: -5, -2, +1
Testing Plans: next tuesday
Rants/Raves/CS: holy hormonal breakdown yesterday. So stupid. I was upset it was Labor Day and I was by myself half the day because H went golfing and took literally double the time I had planned for him to be gone. AND my BFF from school -but have had a falling out - announced her BFP yesterday due in January and its a girl . Meaning she got KTFU in March when her then boyfriend came to visit her for a week.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? Shopping. Typing this makes me stressed and I need to go shopping
CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: All the days! -4, -3, -2, -1, O, +1
Testing Plans: This week!
Rants/Raves/CS: My chart is pretty: LINK TO CHART FF moved my CH to the day I thought it should be, so now it's just the waiting game. Last cycle I started to see spotting when checking my CP around this time, so we'll see what happens.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? Read, read, read. Dig around in the garden (playing in the dirt always makes me feel calm), easy PiYo, take a walk, cook, clean something.
CD/DPO: 23 / 11
Timing: -3 -1 +1
Testing Plans: Tested yesterday, bfn. Going to test again Thursday. I have too much work to do tomorrow to deal with test results.
Rants/Raves/CS: I got nothing.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? Take a walk in the woods or brush my little ponies.
DX - MFI Antibodies, High DNA fragmentation
IUI #1 November 2015 - 0% Motility
IVF #2 May 2016 - (FAIL/25 eggs, 1 5BB xx, PGS abnormal)
CD/DPO: 22/4
Timing: -2, O
Testing Plans: 8/9DPO
Rants/Raves/CS: My tongue is raw from all the pineapple core lol - I may have overdone it
GTKY: What do you do to relax? READ (of course) with a big o' cup of joe or hot cocoa
SA for DH pending.
CD/DPO: 19/3
Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0
Testing Plans: None right now
Rants/Raves/CS: Other than someone calling me at 5am twice, not leaving a message and waking me and DH up, nothing. I checked my temp twice when that happened since I knew I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep but it was super low (over an hour before I usually test), so I fell back asleep and tested again when I woke up at 6:15 and it actually seemed normal. I know I shouldn't keep that time, but I am. Don't flame please.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? Usually reading or walking our dogs.
Month/Cycle: 2/1 (13/12 charting but not regularly temping)
CD/DPO:36/ WHO KNOWS.
Timing: Not sure anymore.
Testing Plans: BFN's over the weekend.
Rants/Raves/CS: Blah, just blah all around. I have no clue when I ovulated or heck if I even have yet! Completely on me for not temping and kicking myself again as I have been for over a week. I've always had a cycle between 28-33 days(I know you're regular until you're not) until this past May when I had a 51 day cycle and this one is feeling just like that one. Today's CD 36 and I'm betting AF doesn't show today yet again. I have no clue what's going on. I have an appt with my GYN in 2 weeks and I'm going to bring all of this up and see what he thinks. My GYN is amazing luckily. Anyways just hoping AF shows up soon so I can get back to temping and if this happens again I'll know why AF isn't here yet instead of being in the dark!
GTKY: What do you do to relax? If I can I'll head up to my grandmother's lake house (about an hour from where I live). If I can't get up there I love to read with my cat in my lap.
CD/DPO: 24/7
Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0
Testing Plans: 9 dpo and everyday after that
Rants/Raves/CS: Going to have my progesterone checked today. Even though I don't really need to now that I'm charting but I'll do it to make my doc happy I guess.
GTKY: What do you do to relax?
I read or take a nap. Sleep is usually my answer for everything
Edit: spelling is important
CD/DPO: 21/9
Timing: -4, -3, 0
Testing Plans: Maybe tomorrow morning
Rants/Raves/CS: My bff had her baby girl on Sunday! At least I get to snuggle someone else's adorable baby.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? I read in a nice hot bubble bath. That combo really relaxes me.
BFP #1: 9/12/2015
DD: 6/1/2016
BFP #2: 1/16/2018 MC 2/2/2018
CD/DPO: 35/10
Timing: -4, -3, -2, O, O+1
Testing Plans: Waiting until either tomorrow or when af is due Thursday
Rants/Raves/CS: Temp up this morning after a slight drop yesterday. I am kind of confused though because my last cycle my temp kept rising and didn't drop down until I had af for three days. Previous cycles I had the "normal" temp drop, then af showed.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? Read with wine and a bubble bath, pinterest, or shop.
CD/DPO: 21/8
Timing: Good, -3, -2, -1
Testing Plans: This morning (in vain dunno why) and tomorrow and EOD after until the 14th, unless AF doesn't show up.
Rants/Raves/CS: Had my original O-date messed up somehow in fertility friend and it adjusted. But timing was excellent and I had what could be an implantation dip yesterday, chart attached for stalking
GTKY: What do you do to relax? I watch Pretty Little Liars or Psych or read. Lately it's been school reading though
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD/DPO: 17/3
Timing: -1, 0
Testing Plans: Trying to wait until AF is due around 14DPO
Rants/Raves/CS: Nothing really, just hoping this TWW flies by!
GTKY: What do you do to relax? I like to sit outside on the patio with a nice cup of coffee on a cool morning. Or take a bubble bath. Or when I'm really stressed, just turn on some guilty pleasure on Netflix to binge watch and get my mind off everything.
3/16 - Started infertility testing
4/16 - SA results: borderline low count/morph
8/16 - Ultrasound and HSG: all clear! Prescribed Bromocriptine for elevated Prolactin levels.
9/16 - Prolactin down to normal levels!
IUI #1 - 9/21/16 - Clomid 50mg, Estrace, Ovidrel, Progesterone/Estradiol - 4 follies - BFP! EDD 6/15/17 Team PINK!
Timing: -2
Testing plans: I've taken hpt every morning since Saturday - 4 bfns. However my temp is still up and staying consistantly up. So I've called fertility clinic doctor for possible blood test. In my family it's common to not have a positive until late or even sometimes a blood test is required. Just know there's still a possibility of disappointment.
Rant/Raves: waiting on a phone call from the fertility clinic, good thing I'm at work to help pass the time.
What do I do to relax? yoga or go for a walk and listen to music (with my pooch of course for good company).

Femara cycle 1 May 2016 - POAS starting May 21st / beta testing May 25th....
CD/DPO: 28/8
Timing: -4, -1
Testing Plans: I have to wait 4 more minutes to get my progesterone levels back, hoping and praying for some great numbers. ***I will edit this post to update once I get the results.
Rants/Raves/CS: Yesterday was 7 dpo which meant it was time to get my progesterone labs run. My doctor specifically told me to visit a specific hospital to have my labs run. Needless to say, it being Labor day and all, the blood lab was closed. I had to go downstairs to the ER to talk to them about getting my blood drawn. They then proceeded to tell me that they couldn't find a lab order for me so I needed to call my doctor. I had to call the on-call doctor in order to get a lab order for my tests. The on-call doctor was beyond mad that I was calling her because she was in labor and delivery. I apologized first thing but she still sounded really upset to have to deal with me...
GTKY: What do you do to relax? I love to bake. I have some delicious pumpkin cookies with buttercream frosting that I'm taking into my work later. I have a senior level college advertising course that I teach and I only have four students in the class. Those four students are going to be fat by the end of the semester if I keep up the nervous baking.
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 29/10
Timing: -3, -1, +1
Testing Plans: 12DPO (if AF hasn't shown up before then)
Rants/Raves/CS: My temp stayed above coverline today! I'm trying to remain a tiny bit hopeful even though I'm crampy and had some spotting yesterday.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? Take walks or veg on the couch and watch TV/play on the computer
DS: 9/18/12 - 40w5d // DD: 05/17/16 - 40w

Color, watch movies, read, bake, garden
CD/DPO: 25/2
Timing: -5,-2,-1
Testing Plans: I have one cheapie and one FRER left, so I will be using them wisely this cycle. I am going to test with the cheapie on my b-day at 9DPO. Then will be using the FRER on 12DPO before we head to Disneyland.
Rants/Raves/CS: I have a really good feeling about this month. I feel like I was really prepared this cycle than any other. I'm hoping I am right.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? I like to go to the movies by myself.
Month/Cycle: 3/2
CD/DPO: 28/10
Timing: -3
Testing Plans: I keep saying none, but I have a whole bag full of Wondfos in the bathroom just begging to be peed all over. We'll see how long I can hold out.
Rants/Raves/CS: Just want to rave about how awesome my DH is. I was feeling low last night, and when he came home, he did all the right stuff to make me feel better. I'm so lucky.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? Different things work at different times for me, I like video games, tv, listening to audio books, sleeping, cooking, etc...

CD/DPO: 29/8
Timing: -4,-2
Testing Plans: after AF missing
Rants/Raves/CS:
Rave- told my bff we pulled the goalie this weekend. She, her 5 month daughter and I went to Disneyland and it was a blast!
Rant/CS- temp dropped below cover line. I'm hoping maybe it's because I'm kind of dehydrated from all the partying this weekend. Usually alcohol ups my temp. Hopefully that's the reason.
GTKY: What do you do to relax?
Massages. DH and I have a massage envy membership. I'm getting one Thursday.
CD/DPO: 26/11
Timing: -4, -2, -1
Testing Plans: none. waiting for AF
Rants/Raves/CS: My temp dropped way low this morning but still slightly above cover line. I am almost positive AF is on her way and am so damn frustrated. I am just so tired of this.
GTKY: What do you do to relax? Get massages, go on vacation, drink

TTC#2 April 2019Keep us updated, guys!
CD/DPO: 75/5?
Timing: ED
Testing Plans: As soon as I get my tests in the mail, if AF doesn't come before that. I had planned for a set day, but I don't know if I can wait past day 10 if I don't get the red river by then...
Rants/Raves/CS: Can someone please tell me if I even ovulated, lmao? With my temps starting at like 98.1-98.3 and then jumping to 98.8 and staying there.. and continuing to go up? FF isn't telling me anything yet.
I was taken off my Nexplanon on the 25th of August. My temps have always been low (throughout the day -- not my BBT; this is my first time taking those), so I thought 98.3 or so would be my average... But now I'm just thinking 98.7 is my average and I haven't even O'd yet. I don't know. This first cycle sucks!
GTKY: What do you do to relax?
Read. Listen to music. Sometimes I clean, to be honest. If my life seems especially cluttered for some reason (a lot going on), I'll clean my house and by the time I'm exhausted/done, I feel more satisfied, like things are better. I think it's a control thing, but it helps me relax!
