R/R/CS: I am on the struggle bus today! I am just super tired. I stayed up too late watching the Bachelor and had to wake up at 4:25am so I could be at work early today. I'm looking forward to my second acupuncture appointment after work today. And, it's election day in my state so I will be casting my vote this evening and then watching all of the election coverage!

R/R/CS: I got a good temp increase this morning, hoping for 2 more! Trying to not get my hopes up since this would be such an unusually short cycle for me. But who am I kidding? Hopes are definitely up.
I also have an ultrasound today to see if my ovaries have baby making potential. Little nervous about that...
GTKY: Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion? @beary67 Did Snuggies go out of fashion?! My bad. Everything I can think of has already come back in some modern incarnation. I love anything that throws it waay back to the 40s/50s.
ETA: Spacing issues. TB is not my friend today.
ETA: FX your ultrasound goes well!! I'm keeping super positive thoughts for you today!

WAYDTGKU: HIO, temping, charting CM and CP, etc.
R/R/CS: major temp drop this morning, so maybe I was mouth-breathing. I gave up on vaginally temping because my chart was as crazy as ever so there is no point. I'm just glad it's not Monday anymore!!
GTKY: I wish bootleg jeans would come back and skinny jeans would go out. Skinny jeans are cute on some people, but I'll never be able to pull it off. I'm short and apple -shaped. In with bootlegs and stilettos, out with skinny jeans and flats.

WAYDTGKU: just hoping to O
R/R/CS: No sign of O in sight. I started spotting quite a lot yesterday. I have spotted around O in a previous cycle, but I'm not convinced that it isn't AF on her way, so we'll see today.
GTKY: I can't really think of anything. Pretty much all the styles I like are considered in style right now. (Or maybe I just don't know enough about fashion. Lol.) I can think of a few things I would like to go out of style, though...

WAYDTGKU: bbt, epo, rlt, carefully inspecting my toilet paper for CM (gross)
R/R/CS: Going to the doctor today to talk about some concerns regarding changes in my cycle, so hoping for some answers/suggestions.
GTKY: Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion? hmm can't think of anything at the moment. I can think of a few current fashion trends currently that I wish would go away.
@beary67 Those commercials are so good. Also, thank you for the positive thoughts!! They are much appreciated!

WAYDTGKU: BBT CM HIO PNV OPK YADDA YADDA
R/R/CS: Totally thought my FW was going to line up the the weekend. And I'm still here. Not sure why I thought I'd O sooner, hoping for a positive OPK today if there's a repeat from last month. Getting tired of HIO already, we've been EOD for almost 2 weeks now
GTKY: Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion? I'm with @houseofsetters on this, I don't think the snuggy ever went out! Maybe if we rename it the slanket (sleeved blanket) the hype will return, @beary67? I'd like to bring back platform wedges, I had a few that were pretty sweet back in the day.
CD: 19
WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, Clomid + (badly)TI... see below
R/R/CS: This is probably going to be a long rant, but I'm so frustrated this morning. I had a follicle scan on CD14 (Thursday) and thought I should O in the next couple of days. Our timing was perfect for a Saturday/Sunday O, but of course my body didn't cooperate. We took Sunday off from HIO because we needed the break. TBH, we are not the most active couple when not TTC so three days in a row was amazing for us. Finally got a +OPK last night around 9. Tried to HIO but H was having major performance anxiety. So finally we decided just to go to sleep and try again this morning. Same thing. He is so mad/frustrated, and I am frustrated too because I can't seem to do anything to help. Now we are debating taking half days and trying again but I don't even know what is best at this point. If we aren't able to today, assuming today is O day, we will end up with -5, -4, -3/2? (it was 2am Sunday so that barely counts as -2) so not great at all. But last month we had -1 and O and that obviously didn't work either, so who knows. I tried telling H that to get him to relax but he is just so set on the idea that we are going to be out this month if he can't get himself together. I know this is totally common, but I just needed to vent.
GTKY: Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion? I can't think of anything original right now, but love the idea of slap bracelets. I totally forgot about those!

R/R/CS: still hoping my chart shows a temp shift this month. It's been over week now that I'm up multiple times per night and some later temps due to that. Not crazy later, but enough to have open circles.
GTKY: Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion? Not off the top of my head.
@houseofsetters fx for O!
@cjt121413 I'm with you on bootleg jeans. I actually still wear them even if they aren't "in". Skinny jeans looked good on me when I was... skinny. But not so much these days, haha.
@felix08 hope you get some good information and answers today!
@RatsPJ I'm with you on thinking FW was going to line up perfectly with the weekend and still being here. Fx for a +OPK and O soon!
ETA @pretzel2plus1 hope you are getting close to O and not AF, or at least that your signs become more clear so you have an answer soon!

@sldp123 Sorry for the frustration! The days you have hit are pretty good actually! As you probably know sperm can live for up to like....3 to 5 days after so even if today is O and your last interaction was -3/-2 that's not terrible! Better than if you didn't get close at all!
*Question in R/R/CS*
Month/Cycle: 6/4
CD: 82
WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, CM, HIO, Finished Day 5 of Provera yesterday so waiting for AF to show.
R/R/CS: Here's a crazy little tidbit. FF gave me CH this morning! CH. It thinks I O'ed on CD 75, which would put me at 6DPO. Which is ridiculous because 1. I didn't feel any signs of O 2. (TMI) CM was dry before and after that day, and 3. PCOS dx on supposed O'ed day. Granted the CH are dotted, and it's only going off of my temperatures. I'm assuming the reason for this is Provera raised my BBT. Anyone else have any experience with Provera/progesterone raising their BBT? Even though I know it's pretty much a zero percent change I O'ed, the BSC alarms went off. I SS like a SOB in the shower this morning.
GTKY: Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion?
I was about to say jellies (even though they did come back for a split second a few summers ago), but I don't think I could, as a grown woman, wear them without feeling embarrassed. So no. Plus like @pretzel2plus1 I probably don't know enough about fashion to even be in it lol.

RatsPJ FX for a positive OPK soon.
sldp123 I'm sorry for all of the frustration. I still think your timing is good as is especially since you had such good follicles for this cycle. FX for you.

WAYDTGKU: Everything.
R/R/CS: Day One down of the perfect week and I'm already exhausted. Didn't help that I was already about to fall asleep before DH was interested. So we stayed up late, the dog tried to join us on the bed, it was a mess really. But we got it done and now learned that the dog must be locked out even if he appears to be sleeping lol. Just exhausted so far this week. Also, these 1200mg Mucinex pills are worse than my horse pill of a vitamin. Bleh.

R/R/CS: I had another temp spike this AM so one more and I'll move over to TWW. I was dreading taking my temp this morning incase the LG surge wasn't real O. Come in 3rd high temp!
I had a pap test yesterday and found out my cervix tilts to the left. I knew it tilted but didn't know which way. She said it straightened up when she entered the torture device they use so should also straighten up when SO puts his P in my V. Good to know.
GTKY: Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion?
I wish that roller blades would come into fashion for people working in cities. I reckon I'd get around a lot quicker.
TEAM: PINK!!
@anj27 That made me LOL. You learn something new every day.
@pretzel2plus1 I hope you O soon and that the spotting is a good indicator that you are about to O!
@felix08 I'm so happy with the bachlorette selection. I had heard a rumor it was Caila so I'm happy with who was selected. I'm also very happy with who he picked (I'm trying not to give out any spoilers in case someone hasn't watched it yet)! I hope your appointment goes well today! Also, I LOVED crimped hair. Bring. It. Back.
@RatsPJ I LOVE the Slanket idea!! Now I have the Justin Timberlake song "Bringing Sexy Back" in my head but instead I'm singing "I'm bringing Slanket back!" I need sleep.
@sldp123 *hugs* for what it's worth, I still think your timing is good!!
@DiFazette FX for a temp shift!
@mrsdaddario I don't have any information on provera but I hope someone is able to help you. I also remember seeing jellies at a mall this past summer. I totally think they are coming back. I also don't think I could wear them unless they REALLY came back in style.
@gonetothesea Saddle shoes! YES!!!
@nwegman7878 I have such fond memories out on our drive way when I was younger playing with my skip-it. Mine was pink!
@anj27 Snuggies were totally in fashion...or at least popular for a period of time.
@babymish roller blades were awesome, too! I would look like a total clutz if I tried to use them today, but I used to get around pretty quickly on those things!

WAYDTGKU: AF is all gone so this party is getting started tonight.
R/R/CS: Ever the optimist, I feel really good about how AF went this cycle. My last three AFs were much lighter than I remembered from my pre-BC days, and this one was much more normal. I was on BC almost nonstop for 15 years, so I shouldn't have been surprised that it would take a while for me to regulate. I'm hoping to see more of a trend toward normal cycles.
GTKY: Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion? Not really. You can pry my skinny jeans from my cold, dead hands.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, OPKs, CM, EPO
R/R/CS: OPK was a darker this morning, and feeling kind of crampy, so hoping that I O within the next few days, because HIO ED is exhausting. DH works graveyard, and we probably won't be able to BD Wednesday/Maybe Thursday so hoping that I O before then. Also - my temps look really different this cycle. Usually I'm kind of erratic, and am up and down every day, but this cycle I seem to be a little bit more consistent. Just kind of weird.

WAYDTGKU: Possibly more HIO, just waiting to see if the stars align with my chart
R/R/CS: Since this is the first couple of cycles after 13 years of birth control for me, everything is brand new and I have no sense of "normal." I was having cramps last night and watery discharge (not ewcm, just watery) and woke up to find some light streaks of blood had been mixed in with that. I have never had that before. Still waiting to hear from my doc about ultrasound results, but I'm trying to just tell myself that that is totally normal mid-cycle spotting right there. Also, I was looking at my FitBit resting heart rate for last month and I noticed something really cool... it lines up with BBT for me (I Oed on the 13/14th).
I know that's not like, reliable or anything, but I think it's really cool all the same
GTKY: Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion? I keep seeing flared jeans on fashion sites now and I'm not into it, so if skinny jeans are on their way out, I'm demanding they come back.

WAYDTGKU: the usual
R/R/CS: Since my cycle was uber short last time, my FW is predicted to be the week that we are staying at DHs parents house for vacation. Awesome. Nothing like doing the deed on your in laws guest bed hoping they dont hear.... "Sorry! We are trying to make you a grandkid!"
