@SusieG85 Yes,
definitely have a great relationship with me parents. I’m so glad I chose to buy a house close to
them.
@britters314 I hope you enjoyed the 5 day wknd! GL
getting through the day! FX it goes by
quick.
@Lecool Everyone needs a pity party every now and then. FX that this is your cycle and that the
optimism brings you some baby dust!
@lisswastaken Sorry about the kitchen issues. That is the worst. It’s so hard these days to get someone in
that will do things the right way. GL in
getting it all fixed.
@thefarmerswide0411 Yay for the temp spike, boo for the
horrific timing. FX for you anyway! Hope you got at least a day or two in the FW!
@juliebeannn FX that AF vacates very soon and yay for your
migraine being gone!
@thj101 I’d recommend reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility.
It’s a great read and has a ton of incredible useful information. Fertility Friend also has a lot of info on
their website with regard to temping.
With regard to starting out, just start temping on CD 1. Obviously today is a write-off but start
tomorrow morning. Pick a time (exact
same time every day) and just take your temp either vaginally or orally. I’ve heard vaginally is more accurate but I wouldn’t
know as I temp orally. Some of the women
on here do not temp during AF but I’d recommend temping the entire time as you
start out just given that you don’t know what your patterns look like. Once you’ve done it for a couple months you
may want to take a temping break while on AF.
Hope this helps a bit!
@mrsjqg1024 I’ve noticed a huge spike in Easter baby announcements
in my circle of friends too this year. It’s
way more than any other year. Which
would obviously happen given that we’re trying to conceive, right? Lol
@whiska YAY for O soon!!
FX for a + OPK this afternoon!
@Dilynne Are you getting the OPKs online? The cheapies? I find that they’re totally affordable if you
get the cheapies online. It’s when you
get into the drug stores that really empty your wallet! GL!
@BerkeBaby It is so unfortunate that America is so behind
when it comes to Health Care coverage for things that truly make sense! It’s really unfortunately that the current
system does not incentivize women to have children in the slightest. Even things like maternity leave etc. But with all of the other things going on in
the world today it’s just not at the forefront of the discussion. It was really a deciding factor on why DH and
I decided to move back to Canada after College.
It’s just a matter of time though.
Hopefully things change soon to help those that are struggling with
TTC. It’s just not fair. I’m glad you got some answers from the
doc. I sooo have my FX for you!!
@LadyBrettAshley23 Yeah, it’s so tough! I really want to tell them because I literally
don’t keep anything from them and like you said, they would only be absolutely
supportive but it’s more of the added pressure that I’d put on myself. I wish that was something that I could
control but I just can’t! It’s a good
thing we have this board so that we do have some people to share these things
with!
@sammajane19 FX that
AF just gets here soon so you can get this new cycle underway!
@jenmlandtake2 I'm so sorry for your loss. And sorry for the added emotion of you SIL
being KU. It’s really kind of you to say
that she deserves the attention during this time even though you’re going
through what you’re going through.
FX that that kind of
kindness and positivity helps you through this cycle and brings you some baby
dust! Fingers are crossed for you!
@thj101we can be newbies at temping together! I just ordered my mabis and TCOYF and they're supposed to be delivered tonight... I am surprisingly very excited to read the book
Month/cycle: 2/2 CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: pnvs, opks, RL tea
R/R/CS: just excited to come home to a package from amazon and start reading TCOYF tonight
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (other than husband/partner).
Can this be my dogs?? lol just kidding... kind of. I have always been super close with my grandfather (papa) I lived with him for a lot of my teenage years. Even as an adult I would still talk to him a few times a week on the phone. Unfortunately he passed away this past April though
Edit. Because typing is hard before coffee
Me: 28 | DH: 30 BFP #1 April 12, 2017 EDD December 19, 2017
R/R/CS: I'm supposed to start taking opks at work tomorrow, which sucks because it's difficult to do discretely
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (oth er than husband/partner). I don't really have a close relationship anyone in my family.
I get 1-2 days of positive opks using Wondfos. @cjt121413 Have you tried green tea for cm @Zoey1019? I find antihistamines do dry up my cm a bit so I try to avoid them during FW, but if I can't I make sure to drink lots of water and green tea and I seem to get some ewcm.
@cjt121413 I typically get 2 days of positive OPKs. Rarely I'll only get 1 day or I'll get 3 days but most commonly I get 2.
@Megzb510 Hopefully the acupuncture can shorten your cycles a bit.
@SongbirdintheCity I'm sorry. That has to be frustrating. I can definitely understand how it would feel like forever. Hopefully all the testing and such goes quickly and your RE is able to find a way to get you KU quickly. I can also definitely understand your frustration over your DH being gone during your predicted FW. My DH and I end up in that situation a decent bit because he travels A LOT for work. This month if I O when predicted he'll leave for a week long business trip the day after O. I've been Oing a bit after FF predicts so I'm a little stressed about that. And then for June he's supposed to be gone the entire FW also. If only our DHs could just not travel while we're TTC that'd be great.
WAYDTGKU: PNV, going to start OPKs, waiting for preseed and mucinex to come from Amazon (btw, SO MUCH CHEAPER on amazon, I checked at Duane Reade and it was like a 10$ difference for both)
R/R/CS: Seems like AF is over so that's cool. My rant is that I am in charge of organizing a department wide meeting every other month, and I always get a call day of (today) from the head of marketing to "gently remind me" how to do things, and how I should be handling it. Its always so fun to be micromanaged.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (other than husband/partner). My sister is my best friend, we have been through a lot together with both of our parents being sick over the years. I feel like she is the only person who really understands me in our family. I am also extremely close with my brother in law.
OK, responses round 1! May not be able to return for round 2
based on how my schedule is looking this afternoon (Sorry for misspellings and/or grammar, didn't have time to edit)
@Megzb510 Good luck
with your first acupuncture appt, you’ll have to let us know how it goes!
@houseofsetters I
hope AF leaves soon too! Glad you and your bro are so close now, that’s so
sweet.
@cjt121413 I don’t
have any experience w/ OPKs or else I’d be happy to answer your question. Hope
you get some answers from others!
@SandwichLover Thanks
for the kind words, I really appreciate it. Ahhhh, google can be your worst
enemy, can’t it? Hoping you get some answers soon!
@QueenSunscreen That
is so nice that you were so close to your maternal grandmother. I’m sure her
memory lives on through you!
@Sparty18 It’s beautiful here too! I’m trying to focus on
that as well.
@JediAlly85 Wow,
kudos to your DH! That is so awesome. We have a really small house too, so glad
to hear that you’re able to make it work with your DS.
@RatsPJ It is so
easy to get burned out on HIO EOD. Our starts tonight
@kfair001 Ahhh sorry
you had a rough start getting to bed last night. Hopefully tonight is better;
your relationship with your parents sounds amazing!
@SongbirdintheCity
It is a bummer that you have to wait until May 3 for your appt, but I am
so glad you’re feeling happy about taking action. FX your appt goes well! It
will be May 3 before you know it.
@sldp123 So sorry your LO is sick. Hoping he feels better
soon!
@Zoey1019 Noooo the
dreaded pink eye! Dang. Hope he gets better quickly! BTW, I stopped taking all antihistamines when
we started TTC. I take an herbal anti-allergy supplement now called De-Hist (2
pills a day) and it has worked wonders. It is really nice to know that I don’t
have to depend on drugs to help control my allergies, especially if I actually
get KU soon—both allegra and Flonase (what I took) are class C drugs when it
comes to pregnancy.
@thj101 Oooh fun,
starting with FF and BBT! Glad to have you here!
@SusieG85 Are we the
same person? DH and I get into it over money/ how he could be making money in a
different career (he brings it up, not me!) somewhat regularly. Here’s hoping that it has blown over today!
@britters314 Oooh good luck going back to work after the 5
day weekend! That is not fun. Hoping it’s easier for you than you’re
anticipating!
@Lecool isn’t it nice
when our dad’s and H’s get along? That is awesome, it sounds like they have a
great relationship!
@lisswastaken Hey
cycle/month/CD twin! Ohh noooo to your pipe issues, I am so sorry about this!
Here’s hoping for a speedy fix.
@juliebeannn I’m so glad your migraine is gone! Woohoo!
@mrsjqg1024 Oh nooo
for leaving your BBT somewhere! Dang. Sorry for the onslaught of baby
announcements, thinking of you!
@whiska hoping that
dark line turns positive this afternoon!
@Dilynne You can get
OPKs at the dollar store! I have no idea if these are as legit as the ones you’d
get anywhere else, but I def use preg tests from there too that are supposed to
be just as effective. Others may have a different opinion, but I know you can
get them there!
@BerkeBaby Totally
in agreement on your “What the hell, America” sentiment. Seriously.
I'm probably going to ghost and post today & tomorrow because I'm at school and I'm swamped, but I'm going to try and lurk/participate!
Month/Cycle: 6
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: EPO and waiting for AF to leave
R/R/CS: Talked to DH last night, and he's on board with a SA if this month isn't successful. Thanks for all of the information yesterday. I still haven't read TCOYF because I keep convincing myself that "this month is it." Such a silly gal. I also looked up an excerpt from "Impatient girls guide to getting pregnant" (or whatever the title is), and she quotes some very different stats in terms of how long it takes the average couple to get pregnant. So, I then of course freaked out. Thoughts on these two conflicting resources?
GTKY: Hm, good question, Maybe my mom? We talk a few times a week, which is more than I do with any other family member.
@thj101 and @MrsRoss89, I'm a newb to charting too! I'm a few days in to it and like seeing all the data on my chart. I definitely feel like a nerd but I LIKE it. I've used the FF tutorial on the app. I like that it quizzes you at the end of the lessons! I've also been picking the brain of a couple friends that have gone the BBT/OPK trail and that's been helpful. I love reading advice from the ladies on here - so many people ask the questions that I've been thinking about!
Month/cycle: 3/3 CD: CD 11
WAYDTGKU: charting, OPKs, CM
R/R/CS: I'm working through my Easter candy and Gilmore Girls at an alarming rate. I'm okay with that!
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (other than husband/partner). It's definitely my parents! My dad and I are pretty much the same person, except that he's 30 years older than me and bald. He and I have always gotten along and can talk for hours about life, work, kids, etc. My mom and I have gotten much closer since DD was born and my mom retired. She was fully devoted to her work when I was in high school and college, but now that the stress from her work is gone, our relationship has really changed. It was definitely never BAD, but now it's just really great! They live an hour and a half away and I can't wait for the day that we can move back home to be near them and the rest of our family members.

@wineo929 People here love TCOYF, and I stand by it too. I've never read "The Impatient Girls Guide to Getting Pregnant" but TCOYF is really comprehensive, and easy to understand. (I've read most of it, but not all.) There is so much conflicting information out there that my advice is just to pick a solid source and stick with it. Otherwise, you could drive yourself crazy trying to figure out what's right and what isn't!
WAYDTGKU: Charting, PNV, EPO, B6, Mucinex, OPK, joined WW again, HIO ED OH and I are in the same zip code
R/R/CS: I'm excited that I took tomorrow off, and Thursday is a holiday, so I can go see OH and have all the filthy hotel FW sex. Also, tonight I'm finally getting my hair cut and highlighted after an embarrassingly long six months of ignoring it. GTKY: Probably my sister. We're a close family in general, although I live 400 miles away from everyone else. Before my sister had kids, we used to talk every night on her way home from work. We still try to make time to hang, and she's one of my best friends. I really should go see her soon.
Me: 45 OH: 42 Beloved SS: born 12/2011 TTC my bio #1/our #2 since January 2016 **TW** June 2016 had CP **end TW** August 2016 - dx with DOR Somewhere in here received recommendation to do IVF with donor eggs, elected not to; OH dx with Low T May 2017 - began freezing sperm June 2017 - OH began treatment for Low T July 2017 - began doing 1 IUI via a midwife and 1 at home insemination each cycle http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/6259ba July 2018 - exhausted frozen sperm, officially NTNP since OH is probably shooting blanks
R/R/CS: It looks like our timing is going to be bad this cycle. DH has been stressed and not in the mood and I think it would have made things worse if I had tried to force it. I think I made the right decision in not forcing it. I'm trying to make his mental health my priority over conceiving, as it should be, but it's so much easier said than done. It's hard for me to not get wrapped up in thinking in cycle days, especially as I get towards the end of my cycle. But for right now, I'm feeling good about where we are in our TTC journey, and if I feel bad later I'll just deal with it then.
Also I'm having a good hair day today.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (other than husband/partner). My mom. She's calm and understanding and reasonable and wise and both me and DH love her.

(I've read most of it, but not all.) There is so much conflicting information out there that my advice is just to pick a solid source and stick with it. Otherwise, you could drive yourself crazy trying to figure out what's right and what isn't!
@wineo929The Impatient Woman's Guide was great! I read it first and then read TCOYF. I enjoyed the Impatient book, partly because TCOYF is a denser version and very scientific. I have a science background and found it to be dull because it went over physiology stuff that I mostly knew already. And the Impatient book also references TCOYF quite a bit.
Thanks @Sammajane19 and @RatsPJ! I think I'll pick up TCOYF if this cycle isn't successful. My anxiety shot through the roof reading some of the stats on conception in the Impatient excerpts.
WAYDTGKU Acupuncture, and today is my first visit with an RE! Leaving in an hour and I'm excited/nervous.
R/R/CS: Not much going on, but I did have a positive OPK for the first time this cycle, today! FX it happens.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (oth er than husband/partner). Probably my mom - we tell each other everything and have the MOST fun together than any other person I can think of!
@dilynne ditto on what others have posted, but if you buy Wondfos on Amazon they are super cheap and work just as well as the expensive ones!
@berkebaby Soooo sorry your mom said that... NOT ok on so many levels.
@jenmlangtake2 All of my friends are pregnant.. I know it's difficult to find that balance between being happy for them and sad for yourself. Hang in there!
WAYDTGKU: tons of sex, OPKs, considering mucinex or robitussin as CM seems weird this month
R/R/CS: Dentist visit went well today. I only needed a regular cleaning rather than the deep cleaning I was expecting. I have to get a ton of cavities filled but at least half of them are do-overs from the free fillings I got in college at my school's college of dentistry. DH saw my CB Digital OPK this morning and freaked out! I think he thought it was a pregnancy test. His poor face! I told him what it was and he just mumbled "that's weird" while walking away. But it just shows he still has a very vague idea about how any of this works.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (other than husband/partner). Definitely Mom. When I was a teenager it was my older cousin but when I left for college my mom and I got very close. We are so much alike in looks, mannerisms, facial expressions that it freaks people out a bit. We get mistaken for sisters often. I never would've thought we'd be this close but I'm so grateful for the relationship.
WAYDTGKU: Starting OPK's for the first time tomorrow on CD10.
R/R/CS: I think I ovulate pretty late in my cycles, so I might do an OPK EOD until CD14 and then ED after that. No real CS needed yet, but be my guest if you want to.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (oth er than husband/partner). My mom and I have the closest relationship in terms of love and how well we get along, but I see my sister more often. My sister's only 19 so we hang out and go on fun trips together, but we fight more often too. Like, if I get KU, I'd want my Mom in the delivery room for support and my sister on snapchat updating our stories so I could laugh about it later. That pretty much explains it.

WAYDTGKU PNV & Iron & accupuncture Thursday
R/R/CS: My period is so light this month - has me slightly concerned that my lining isn't pillowy soft for a possible embryo implantation - I'm going to speak to my acu about it on Thursday to see if she can help with that.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (oth er than husband/partner).
I have a half sister who is much younger than me and my siblings - she just turned 18. She is my soul sister, I loved her from the minute I found out my step mom was pregnant and she was the perfect baby/child. She is now a beautiful, intelligent young lady and it's like we have the same soul. Love her.
You guys! Totally random but my mom and dad's goat had her baby yesterday! The mama goat's name is Moonpie, so I suggested "Zinger" for the baby's name--to keep with the snack cake theme, of course--he is so cute and fuzzy, and my parents actually decided to use the name Zinger, ha! Look how cute!
On a weird, annoying note--you know you have baby fever when you are jealous of a DAMN GOAT for having a baby when you don't. wtf. lol
********** A TMI question: those who check their cervix, are you able to tell when it's open? Or just when it's softer? I'm still getting to know mine and wasn't sure if this is something I should even notice!
Month/cycle: 6 since IUD removal/3 CD: 24
WAYDTGKU: starting to BD EOD, preseed, CM/CP
R/R/CS: Had some spotting yesterday which usually happens mid cycle, but it got somewhat worse today, so it's really throwing me off. I guess I'll just see how it goes.
I wish I had more time to really read everything word for word and reply back to everybody! Those that do make the time, y'all are amazing and make me feel so much more supported. The rest are amazing as well.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (other than husband/partner). Without a doubt, my mother, especially in the last couple years. When DD was born, she started visiting every 6-8 weeks so she can really get to know her only grandchild and vice versa. I love her for that and I love that it gives us quality time too. We weren't close when I was in school.
@kellybean1988I can't believe you're still bragging about your goats! (I kid, I kid). But seriously. Where do your parents live? I want to play with baby goats.
@kellybean1988I can't believe you're still bragging about your goats! (I kid, I kid). But seriously. Where do your parents live? I want to play with baby goats.
@Dilynne hahahahaha!!! The best part of that was that you said I KID! GET IT?!? baby goats are called kids! HA HA HA! Love it. They live in the middle of the woods, lol. And playing with baby goats is so therapeutic. They are the cutest!

Totally late today, and have been lazy the past few days so I wanted to try to respond to everyone today!
@Megzb510 I want to try acupuncture too! If you end up doing it let us know how you like it! @HouseofSetters FX AF leaves soon! @cjt121413 Fx that you O'd. I'm sure one of the three + OPK's was the real deal! @SandwichLover What did Google say about it? I think occasional pain is probably normal honestly. @QueenSunscreee You're a good woman for no rants yet lol @Sparty18 That's good juju for embracing the beautiful morning! @JediAlly85 - Yay DH! That's great! They really do listen right? Sometimes it takes a while to realize they do haha. Weeks later in his case! Better late than never! @RatsPJ FX you O'd @kfair001 Hope today went quickly for you! @SongbirdintheCity Sorry about the long wait to see the RE. Hopefully your traveling will make the wait go by quicker. @sldp123 FX you don't catch whatever you DS has! @kellybean1988 Happy EOD BD time! @Zoey1019 I don't usually take antihistamine's but FX you get to BD despite the road bump! @thj101 Sorry for CD 1 lady. @SusieG85 Sorry about your argument with DH. Sometimes it's like....just shut it already! I got it the first ten times we had this convo! @britters314 Yay for FW! @Lecool Sounds like you have a great plan laid out a head of you! FX the massage is awesome! @lisswastaken Ugh sorry about the cobjob! That really sucks. @thefarmerswife0411 Per usual, your post has my mouth watering. If I wasn't counting/avoiding carbs I'd be all over banana bread right now. @juliebeann Yay for AF heading out and migraine being gone! @mrsjqg1024 I think you'll be fine using a regular thermometer, especially if you think you won't O until later this week! Though I know the happiness you'll have when you're reunited with the BBT LOL @whiska Did you try the OPK again? Any luck with a darker line yet? @Dilynne Yes I agree with PP. Wondfo's! @BerkeBaby Hopefully the emotional happiness you will most likely get out of paying down big bills will carry you through until the RE appointment. (It won't but hopefully a little LOL) @LadyBrettAshley23 I just started drinking Starbucks (late coffee bloomer!) But I haven't found anything there I really like yet. Still not giving up though! @sammajane19 Fx the spotting is truly AF. I know you had a long cycle! @jenmlangtake2 Sorry your SIL's news was hard/happy. I can see how that was a double edged sword for you. @MrsRoss89 Yay for getting TCOYF! @MrsJ2410 I also hate being micromanaged! If you want me to do something let me do it, don't try to hold my hand. @wineo929 I think I would follow the 1 year for under 35, 6 months for over. But that's because it's what I've read the most, and I haven't yet read the other book you mention, though I've heard lots of good things about it. @beff12 Gilmore Girls and Easter candy?! My lord could there be any better combination?! @Aurora1973 OoOoOoO filthy hotel sex! SEXY. @RatParade You're a good wife for putting DH's feelings first! I know how hard that must be. @DumbledoresArmy How'd your RE appointment go?!?! @Meilay Glad you're working on your dental health! It is so important! My mother really made me paranoid, starting as a child, that the health of your teeth is super important! Also, what your DH said made me giggle! @Totororyinlove Good plan with the OPK's, I should probably do that too since my cycles are so long! @babymish Fx your acupuncturist has some good tips for a pillowy soft lining
Month/cycle: 6/4 CD: 12
WAYDTGKU PNV, BBT, CM, RRL, OPK's (EOD prob until I think I'm close)
R/R/CS: Well I had my HSG today. Holy crap. Not going to lie, it was painful. It would have probably been less painful if the first catheter the doctor inserted hadn't been blocked, so she had to take it out and do that part over again. Which was super uncomfortable. BUT the good news is my tubes are totally clear! No blockages whatsoever. In fact the second the dye was inserted it made it's way through my left tube, and immediately after through my right. So I'm REALLY relieved about that. Just have my ultra sound on the 7th next, and then I expect to come up with a game plan. **TMI** Side note, DH and I have not had sex in 17 days. 8 of those I had AF, the rest we couldn't because of the HSG. Last night he offered to give me sexy time, and I literally exploded in less than 2 minutes since it's been so long. Then I promptly fell asleep, sorry DH! LOL. This morning he was all over me. As if he was starving and I was a big steak dangling in front of him. Made me feel all:
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (oth er than husband/partner). Definitely my mom! We laugh SO hard, and just get along so well.
@Sparty18@kellybean1988 Pun totally intended haha And please NEVER stop posting goat pictures. It fuels the fire for my life goals, especially the baby ones.
R/R/CS: yo will someone CS me real quick?? Do we think my bbt is favoring temps? It hasn't been EXACTLY the same temp, but I'm seeing way more of that 97.5X range than I'm used to. Thoughts?
I just know that pic is going to be huge, but I'm on mobile and I can't help it
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (oth er than husband/partner). My dad and I have always been super close. I also have an aunt who is the shit. And a cousin who is amazeballs.
@lcsrva I'm no expert, but as long as the temps are different, I don't think it's favoring...right? Your chart looks exactly like mine usually looks before O.
Ok ladies, I am super late to the game today! This is my second and final day of working late this week, so I promise I'll be a better bumper tomorrow!
Month/cycle: 3/3 CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: Waiting for AF to leave the building
R/R/CS: Work has been stressing me out the last two days. I am a high school math teacher, and I love my job, but one of the challenging aspects about it is the amount of work you can do while still feeling like it's not enough for the kids. Usually I can balance those feelings with the reality of how much time I have and how much I know I already do. But this week it's not working. I'm currently making a list of the things I want to do over the summer to start the improvement process of my materials for next year. It's helping a little bit, but only in how I feel about my preparedness for next year. Not this year!
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (oth er than husband/partner). My second cousin. She was the maid of honor in our wedding, and I'm her first sons god mother. We're the same age and we grew up together! It's the best type of friendship because we're always there when one needs the other but don't worry when we're out of touch for a little while.
Re: WTO Tuesday
@SusieG85 Yes, definitely have a great relationship with me parents. I’m so glad I chose to buy a house close to them.

@Lecool Everyone needs a pity party every now and then. FX that this is your cycle and that the optimism brings you some baby dust!
@lisswastaken Sorry about the kitchen issues. That is the worst. It’s so hard these days to get someone in that will do things the right way. GL in getting it all fixed.
@thefarmerswide0411 Yay for the temp spike, boo for the horrific timing. FX for you anyway! Hope you got at least a day or two in the FW!
@juliebeannn FX that AF vacates very soon and yay for your migraine being gone!
@thj101 I’d recommend reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It’s a great read and has a ton of incredible useful information. Fertility Friend also has a lot of info on their website with regard to temping. With regard to starting out, just start temping on CD 1. Obviously today is a write-off but start tomorrow morning. Pick a time (exact same time every day) and just take your temp either vaginally or orally. I’ve heard vaginally is more accurate but I wouldn’t know as I temp orally. Some of the women on here do not temp during AF but I’d recommend temping the entire time as you start out just given that you don’t know what your patterns look like. Once you’ve done it for a couple months you may want to take a temping break while on AF. Hope this helps a bit!
@mrsjqg1024 I’ve noticed a huge spike in Easter baby announcements in my circle of friends too this year. It’s way more than any other year. Which would obviously happen given that we’re trying to conceive, right? Lol
@whiska YAY for O soon!! FX for a + OPK this afternoon!
@Dilynne Are you getting the OPKs online? The cheapies? I find that they’re totally affordable if you get the cheapies online. It’s when you get into the drug stores that really empty your wallet! GL!
@BerkeBaby It is so unfortunate that America is so behind when it comes to Health Care coverage for things that truly make sense! It’s really unfortunately that the current system does not incentivize women to have children in the slightest. Even things like maternity leave etc. But with all of the other things going on in the world today it’s just not at the forefront of the discussion. It was really a deciding factor on why DH and I decided to move back to Canada after College. It’s just a matter of time though. Hopefully things change soon to help those that are struggling with TTC. It’s just not fair. I’m glad you got some answers from the doc. I sooo have my FX for you!!
@LadyBrettAshley23 Yeah, it’s so tough! I really want to tell them because I literally don’t keep anything from them and like you said, they would only be absolutely supportive but it’s more of the added pressure that I’d put on myself. I wish that was something that I could control but I just can’t! It’s a good thing we have this board so that we do have some people to share these things with!
@sammajane19 FX that AF just gets here soon so you can get this new cycle underway!
@jenmlandtake2 I'm so sorry for your loss. And sorry for the added emotion of you SIL being KU. It’s really kind of you to say that she deserves the attention during this time even though you’re going through what you’re going through.
FX that that kind of
kindness and positivity helps you through this cycle and brings you some baby
dust! Fingers are crossed for you!

My rant is that I am in charge of organizing a department wide meeting every other month, and I always get a call day of (today) from the head of marketing to "gently remind me" how to do things, and how I should be handling it. Its always so fun to be micromanaged.

OK, responses round 1! May not be able to return for round 2 based on how my schedule is looking this afternoon
(Sorry for misspellings and/or grammar, didn't have time to edit)
@Megzb510 Good luck with your first acupuncture appt, you’ll have to let us know how it goes!
@houseofsetters I hope AF leaves soon too! Glad you and your bro are so close now, that’s so sweet.
@cjt121413 I don’t have any experience w/ OPKs or else I’d be happy to answer your question. Hope you get some answers from others!
@SandwichLover Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. Ahhhh, google can be your worst enemy, can’t it? Hoping you get some answers soon!
@QueenSunscreen That is so nice that you were so close to your maternal grandmother. I’m sure her memory lives on through you!
@Sparty18 It’s beautiful here too! I’m trying to focus on that as well.
@JediAlly85 Wow, kudos to your DH! That is so awesome. We have a really small house too, so glad to hear that you’re able to make it work with your DS.
@RatsPJ It is so easy to get burned out on HIO EOD. Our starts tonight
@kfair001 Ahhh sorry you had a rough start getting to bed last night. Hopefully tonight is better; your relationship with your parents sounds amazing!
@SongbirdintheCity It is a bummer that you have to wait until May 3 for your appt, but I am so glad you’re feeling happy about taking action. FX your appt goes well! It will be May 3 before you know it.
@sldp123 So sorry your LO is sick. Hoping he feels better soon!
@Zoey1019 Noooo the dreaded pink eye! Dang. Hope he gets better quickly! BTW, I stopped taking all antihistamines when we started TTC. I take an herbal anti-allergy supplement now called De-Hist (2 pills a day) and it has worked wonders. It is really nice to know that I don’t have to depend on drugs to help control my allergies, especially if I actually get KU soon—both allegra and Flonase (what I took) are class C drugs when it comes to pregnancy.
@thj101 Oooh fun, starting with FF and BBT! Glad to have you here!
@SusieG85 Are we the same person? DH and I get into it over money/ how he could be making money in a different career (he brings it up, not me!) somewhat regularly. Here’s hoping that it has blown over today!
@britters314 Oooh good luck going back to work after the 5 day weekend! That is not fun. Hoping it’s easier for you than you’re anticipating!
@Lecool isn’t it nice when our dad’s and H’s get along? That is awesome, it sounds like they have a great relationship!
@lisswastaken Hey cycle/month/CD twin! Ohh noooo to your pipe issues, I am so sorry about this! Here’s hoping for a speedy fix.
@thefarmerswife0411 KERRYGOLD IRISH BUTTER?!? SO GOOD!
@juliebeannn I’m so glad your migraine is gone! Woohoo!
@mrsjqg1024 Oh nooo for leaving your BBT somewhere! Dang. Sorry for the onslaught of baby announcements, thinking of you!
@whiska hoping that dark line turns positive this afternoon!
@Dilynne You can get OPKs at the dollar store! I have no idea if these are as legit as the ones you’d get anywhere else, but I def use preg tests from there too that are supposed to be just as effective. Others may have a different opinion, but I know you can get them there!
@BerkeBaby Totally in agreement on your “What the hell, America” sentiment. Seriously.
@LadyBrettAshley23 Starbucks, woo! Yum.
@sammajane19 Sorry to see you in WTO ,but glad that AF started for you since you had been waiting. Enjoy that RL tea!
@jenmlangtake2 I’m so sorry you’re having a rough time with your sister in law. Thinking of you!
@MrsRoss89 So sorry to hear about your Papa. I am very close to my dog as well!
@LadyMillil I’ve never done OPKs , but I can’t imagine that doing them at work is easy at all! Good luck !
@MrsJ2410 Ew, I hate being micromanaged. I’m so sorry about that! Glad AF is gone though, that’s great.

Month/Cycle: 6
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: EPO and waiting for AF to leave
R/R/CS: Talked to DH last night, and he's on board with a SA if this month isn't successful. Thanks for all of the information yesterday. I still haven't read TCOYF because I keep convincing myself that "this month is it." Such a silly gal. I also looked up an excerpt from "Impatient girls guide to getting pregnant" (or whatever the title is), and she quotes some very different stats in terms of how long it takes the average couple to get pregnant. So, I then of course freaked out. Thoughts on these two conflicting resources?
GTKY: Hm, good question, Maybe my mom? We talk a few times a week, which is more than I do with any other family member.
Month/cycle: 3/3
CD: CD 11
WAYDTGKU: charting, OPKs, CM
R/R/CS: I'm working through my Easter candy and Gilmore Girls at an alarming rate. I'm okay with that!
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (other than husband/partner).
It's definitely my parents! My dad and I are pretty much the same person, except that he's 30 years older than me and bald. He and I have always gotten along and can talk for hours about life, work, kids, etc. My mom and I have gotten much closer since DD was born and my mom retired. She was fully devoted to her work when I was in high school and college, but now that the stress from her work is gone, our relationship has really changed. It was definitely never BAD, but now it's just really great! They live an hour and a half away and I can't wait for the day that we can move back home to be near them and the rest of our family members.
DD born 7.27.2014
BFP 09.2015 - m/c 10.21.2015
There is so much conflicting information out there that my advice is just to pick a solid source and stick with it. Otherwise, you could drive yourself crazy trying to figure out what's right and what isn't!

GTKY: Probably my sister. We're a close family in general, although I live 400 miles away from everyone else. Before my sister had kids, we used to talk every night on her way home from work. We still try to make time to hang, and she's one of my best friends. I really should go see her soon.

WAYDTGKU:
R/R/CS: It looks like our timing is going to be bad this cycle. DH has been stressed and not in the mood and I think it would have made things worse if I had tried to force it. I think I made the right decision in not forcing it. I'm trying to make his mental health my priority over conceiving, as it should be, but it's so much easier said than done. It's hard for me to not get wrapped up in thinking in cycle days, especially as I get towards the end of my cycle. But for right now, I'm feeling good about where we are in our TTC journey, and if I feel bad later I'll just deal with it then.
Also I'm having a good hair day today.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (other than husband/partner). My mom. She's calm and understanding and reasonable and wise and both me and DH love her.

WAYDTGKU Acupuncture, and today is my first visit with an RE! Leaving in an hour and I'm excited/nervous.
R/R/CS: Not much going on, but I did have a positive OPK for the first time this cycle, today! FX it happens.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (oth er than husband/partner). Probably my mom - we tell each other everything and have the MOST fun together than any other person I can think of!
@berkebaby Soooo sorry your mom said that... NOT ok on so many levels.
@jenmlangtake2 All of my friends are pregnant.. I know it's difficult to find that balance between being happy for them and sad for yourself. Hang in there!
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: tons of sex, OPKs, considering mucinex or robitussin as CM seems weird this month
R/R/CS: Dentist visit went well today. I only needed a regular cleaning rather than the deep cleaning I was expecting. I have to get a ton of cavities filled but at least half of them are do-overs from the free fillings I got in college at my school's college of dentistry. DH saw my CB Digital OPK this morning and freaked out! I think he thought it was a pregnancy test. His poor face! I told him what it was and he just mumbled "that's weird" while walking away. But it just shows he still has a very vague idea about how any of this works.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (other than husband/partner).
Definitely Mom. When I was a teenager it was my older cousin but when I left for college my mom and I got very close. We are so much alike in looks, mannerisms, facial expressions that it freaks people out a bit. We get mistaken for sisters often. I never would've thought we'd be this close but I'm so grateful for the relationship.
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: Starting OPK's for the first time tomorrow on CD10.
R/R/CS: I think I ovulate pretty late in my cycles, so I might do an OPK EOD until CD14 and then ED after that. No real CS needed yet, but be my guest if you want to.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (oth er than husband/partner). My mom and I have the closest relationship in terms of love and how well we get along, but I see my sister more often. My sister's only 19 so we hang out and go on fun trips together, but we fight more often too. Like, if I get KU, I'd want my Mom in the delivery room for support and my sister on snapchat updating our stories so I could laugh about it later. That pretty much explains it.

WAYDTGKU PNV & Iron & accupuncture Thursday
R/R/CS: My period is so light this month - has me slightly concerned that my lining isn't pillowy soft for a possible embryo implantation - I'm going to speak to my acu about it on Thursday to see if she can help with that.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (oth er than husband/partner).
I have a half sister who is much younger than me and my siblings - she just turned 18. She is my soul sister, I loved her from the minute I found out my step mom was pregnant and she was the perfect baby/child. She is now a beautiful, intelligent young lady and it's like we have the same soul. Love her.
TEAM: PINK!!
You guys! Totally random but my mom and dad's goat had her baby yesterday! The mama goat's name is Moonpie, so I suggested "Zinger" for the baby's name--to keep with the snack cake theme, of course--he is so cute and fuzzy, and my parents actually decided to use the name Zinger, ha! Look how cute!
On a weird, annoying note--you know you have baby fever when you are jealous of a DAMN GOAT for having a baby when you don't. wtf. lol

I wish I had more time to really read everything word for word and reply back to everybody! Those that do make the time, y'all are amazing and make me feel so much more supported. The rest are amazing as well.
GTKY - Tell us about the family member you have the closest relationship with (other than husband/partner). Without a doubt, my mother, especially in the last couple years. When DD was born, she started visiting every 6-8 weeks so she can really get to know her only grandchild and vice versa. I love her for that and I love that it gives us quality time too. We weren't close when I was in school.

@HouseofSetters FX AF leaves soon!
@cjt121413 Fx that you O'd. I'm sure one of the three + OPK's was the real deal!
@SandwichLover What did Google say about it? I think occasional pain is probably normal honestly.
@QueenSunscreee You're a good woman for no rants yet lol
@Sparty18 That's good juju for embracing the beautiful morning!
@JediAlly85 - Yay DH! That's great! They really do listen right? Sometimes it takes a while to realize they do haha. Weeks later in his case! Better late than never!
@RatsPJ FX you O'd
@kfair001 Hope today went quickly for you!
@SongbirdintheCity Sorry about the long wait to see the RE. Hopefully your traveling will make the wait go by quicker.
@sldp123 FX you don't catch whatever you DS has!
@kellybean1988 Happy EOD BD time!
@Zoey1019 I don't usually take antihistamine's but FX you get to BD despite the road bump!
@thj101 Sorry for CD 1 lady.
@SusieG85 Sorry about your argument with DH. Sometimes it's like....just shut it already! I got it the first ten times we had this convo!
@britters314 Yay for FW!
@Lecool Sounds like you have a great plan laid out a head of you! FX the massage is awesome!
@lisswastaken Ugh sorry about the cobjob! That really sucks.
@thefarmerswife0411 Per usual, your post has my mouth watering. If I wasn't counting/avoiding carbs I'd be all over banana bread right now.
@juliebeann Yay for AF heading out and migraine being gone!
@mrsjqg1024 I think you'll be fine using a regular thermometer, especially if you think you won't O until later this week! Though I know the happiness you'll have when you're reunited with the BBT LOL
@whiska Did you try the OPK again? Any luck with a darker line yet?
@Dilynne Yes I agree with PP. Wondfo's!
@BerkeBaby Hopefully the emotional happiness you will most likely get out of paying down big bills will carry you through until the RE appointment. (It won't but hopefully a little LOL)
@LadyBrettAshley23 I just started drinking Starbucks (late coffee bloomer!) But I haven't found anything there I really like yet. Still not giving up though!
@sammajane19 Fx the spotting is truly AF. I know you had a long cycle!
@jenmlangtake2 Sorry your SIL's news was hard/happy. I can see how that was a double edged sword for you.
@MrsRoss89 Yay for getting TCOYF!
@MrsJ2410 I also hate being micromanaged! If you want me to do something let me do it, don't try to hold my hand.
@wineo929 I think I would follow the 1 year for under 35, 6 months for over. But that's because it's what I've read the most, and I haven't yet read the other book you mention, though I've heard lots of good things about it.
@beff12 Gilmore Girls and Easter candy?! My lord could there be any better combination?!
@Aurora1973 OoOoOoO filthy hotel sex! SEXY.
@RatParade You're a good wife for putting DH's feelings first! I know how hard that must be.
@DumbledoresArmy How'd your RE appointment go?!?!
@Meilay Glad you're working on your dental health! It is so important! My mother really made me paranoid, starting as a child, that the health of your teeth is super important! Also, what your DH said made me giggle!
@Totororyinlove Good plan with the OPK's, I should probably do that too since my cycles are so long!

WAYDTGKU PNV, BBT, CM, RRL, OPK's (EOD prob until I think I'm close)
R/R/CS: Well I had my HSG today. Holy crap. Not going to lie, it was painful. It would have probably been less painful if the first catheter the doctor inserted hadn't been blocked, so she had to take it out and do that part over again. Which was super uncomfortable. BUT the good news is my tubes are totally clear! No blockages whatsoever. In fact the second the dye was inserted it made it's way through my left tube, and immediately after through my right. So I'm REALLY relieved about that. Just have my ultra sound on the 7th next, and then I expect to come up with a game plan. **TMI** Side note, DH and I have not had sex in 17 days. 8 of those I had AF, the rest we couldn't because of the HSG. Last night he offered to give me sexy time, and I literally exploded in less than 2 minutes since it's been so long. Then I promptly fell asleep, sorry DH! LOL. This morning he was all over me. As if he was starving and I was a big steak dangling in front of him. Made me feel all:

R/R/CS: Work has been stressing me out the last two days. I am a high school math teacher, and I love my job, but one of the challenging aspects about it is the amount of work you can do while still feeling like it's not enough for the kids. Usually I can balance those feelings with the reality of how much time I have and how much I know I already do. But this week it's not working. I'm currently making a list of the things I want to do over the summer to start the improvement process of my materials for next year. It's helping a little bit, but only in how I feel about my preparedness for next year. Not this year!

My second cousin. She was the maid of honor in our wedding, and I'm her first sons god mother. We're the same age and we grew up together! It's the best type of friendship because we're always there when one needs the other but don't worry when we're out of touch for a little while.
