@KarliQ88 sorry about CD1, NY weather is pretty crazy right now. It snowed the past 2 days and is cold and yucky out now. But the snow does look pretty. Just odd its in April and not December.

Eeesh! We looked ahead and ended up packing spring/winter clothes. I was hoping for omething a little warmer but it should be a great time still. Going to meet up with some friends :-)

canavara · April 2016

@Megzb510 Sorry your cycles are being confusing and frustrating. FX that you O soon

@SandwichLover Hope everything goes well with your dad!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: BBT/BD/OPK

R/R/CS: My temps are still all freaking over the place. Not worried about it but boy is it sure a testament that you can't rely on charting for month-to-month patterns, just for spotting the actual date of ovulation. Science!

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? Adult: I am so hardcore for Malbec. A good 2012... so earthy. Or a Negroni. I used to not like campari but I've been brought over to the dark side, I guess. Non-adult: Cold-brew coffee. One of my friends has her own business making cold brew and I have become addicted to that--I like mixing chickory or black cherry bitters into the cold brew with coconut milk

thj101 · April 2016

@canavara that cold brew coffee sounds amazing! This may be a stupid question, but how do you cold brew coffee?

linzrunz · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: temping, charting

R/R/CS: I've had a migraine since Sunday night. It's an odd time for me to get my hormonally triggered ones. Could it be from my MIL slapping me across the face on Sunday and all the stress it's caused? Yep. Ugh. DH has been really sweet since though. He went out and got me my favorite ice creams and fed it to me in bed last night. I'm actually really glad it's not my FW yet because I'm so not in the mood.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? Nonalcoholic would be white chocolate mocha extra hot or Pepsi. Alcoholic would be a dirty Shirley (Sprite, grenadine, vodka).

juliebeannn · April 2016

@linzrunz sorry to hear about your migraine!! i hope it goes away soon. but wait....your MIL did what?!?!? oh that ain't right!

Dilynne · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 25

WAYDTGKU: All of the things now that I have my Mabis and Wandfos

R/R/CS: Not baby related, but my brother's girlfriend is 18 and trying to plan a bridal shower for her 17 year old friend... and she called me crying last night because the girl's mother doesn't want to help with the shower but gave her a list of things this shower had to include, a menu, a list of people, a venue and we did the math and if she does things this shower is going to cost her over $1,000.00. I told her she doesn't even have to host a shower if she doesn't want to but she feels like a bad friend. What kind of person refuses to help and then gives an 18 year old a list of $1,000 things that need to be included.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? Adult: Kahlua milkshakes. Non-alcoholic: Chocolate milk. We've sworn off pop for since new year so I've been subsisting off water and chocolate milk.

l9i · April 2016

@kellybean1988 our local coffee house can make all their drinks decaf. I love that! I'm sensitive to caffeine so half the time or more I do decaf. Taste wise I can't tell the difference, some people say they can.

Rottiemom86 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 6 (7 months benched)

CD: 3

WAYDTGKU: nothing right now just AF. OPKs when it's time.

R/R/CS: I had a nasty migraine last night that hit me out of nowhere... so that was so fun. But I'm feeling better so far today,

GTKY : adult beverage I would pick either red wine or jack daniels and Dr Pepper

Non-adult would be either Diet dr pepper or water.

Lecool · April 2016

@juliebeannn Ugh, that sounds brutal. Our WOD yesterday was rough too. It was 4 rounds, each with a 3 min time cap, 90sec rest in between rounds: 300m row, 10 burpee box jumps and then max wall balls for the remaining time. Your score was total number of wall balls. My legs felt like jello. Then I did a half hour of moderate airdyne riding because apparently I like not feeling my legs.

gonetothesea · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 9/8

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: temping, charting, PNV, wishing, hoping, planning

R/R/CS: AF has left the building! I repeat: AF has left the building!

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage?

favorite non-alcoholic: sweet tea ALL DAY. But brewed. None of this canned or bottled nonsense.
favorite alcoholic: I like sweet drinks. Probably the blackberry sangria from Carrabba's, or an Amaretto Sour.

Mashunya425 · April 2016

*TW-loss mentioned*

Month/Cycle: 1 (TTCAL)

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: Temping, charting, OPKs...all the things I didn't do before my loss

R/R/CS: I am post D&C, but my doctor has given us the clear to not wait to TTC. I am just trying to figure out my cycle at this point to see it regulating back to normal. Husband is traveling for 3 more days anyways. I am still spotting. But I finally turn pregnancy tests negative as of 2 days ago, meaning my hormones seem to be back to normal. Hopefully I O soon...although I have heard sometimes you don't even O before your first AF after D&C.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? Wine, wine, wine. It was the first thing I did once my head cleared after the loss.

QueenSunscreen · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: . HIO!!

The usual.

R/R/CS: I think I look cute today! I'd be interested in me if I weren't me, haha. Nothing like gearing up to ovulate to make a girl feel powerful!!

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? hmmmm, I love a hoppy beer, cider and good vodka equally. I usually stick with water if I'm not boozing it up. I don't drink soda much unless I have a migraine (Mt dew!), but I've been known to throw back a grape or orange soda on occasion. Oh, and San Pellegrino is pretty delicious - which is definitely in the soda category in my book, despite being called 'sparkling mineral water.'

BecauseLove · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 19/11

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Possibly IUI # 2: Metformin 2000, Acupuncture, Letrozole/Fermera CD 3-7 5mg, Ultrasound to check follies (this cycle only) CD 11, trigger shot if mature follies (ovideral 1 time, usually pregnyl), IUI hopefully CD 13th....if all else fails Ultrasound on CD 13 to hopefully get trigger and TI...we are off to the EU for the rest of the month and I don't want to waste it!

R/R/CS:Lots of moving parts in my life these days. Family business stuff, usual work stuff, TTC, Volunteer Non Profit stuff, and travel. Plus it is almost the start of the busy season for us...so gotta get my ducks in a row. My acupuncturist always asks me how my stress level is...never really know what to say lol.

I have started going to bed a lot earlier (I use to be a midnight-3 am kinda person) and have been waking up early...I am slowly starting to understand why people become morning people...I feel like this tells me I have officially gotten old.

Trying to figure out how to pack all the vitamins and medications for our travels overseas. Anyone else travel to EU that has any suggestions if I need to bring original bottles or if I can pack meds into a morning and night week days dispenser to make things lighter?

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage?
Grapefruit mineral water or a Lemonade (limeade with fizzy water) from where we stay when we go to Mexico.

@Lecool ack! that sounds awful. rowing, burpees and wall balls are definitely 3 of my top 5 most hated movements! can you walk today? hahaha.

LadyMillil · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 13/15

CD: 15

WAYDTGKU: clomid + iui #2 + progesterone

R/R/CS: I had a huge temp rise today and opk is negative and cm is changing so I'm confident I O'd yesterday. I'm waiting for another high temp to start progesterone and then I'll head over to TWW

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage?
Alcoholic - sparkling wine / champagne
Nonalcoholic - Really good coffee and proper espressos. I'm a coffee snob and would rather drink none at all than bad coffee.

linzrunz · April 2016

@juliebeannn She slapped me across the face when I stopped her physical discipline with DS#2 because she took it too far. We immediately left and she is no longer babysitting my boys this weekend and may not ever have them by herself again. Still can't believe it happened. I keep replaying it over and over in my head trying to figure out what in the hell she was thinking.

kaityh1 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 19/18

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Temping, checking CM, BD at least every other day (DH approves), recently read "It Starts With The Egg" and am going to start taking CoQ10 soon

R/R/CS: I am so ready for AF to go away! She has over stayed her welcome!

In January, I decided to see if adjusting my diet would help me get KU so I began (and since finished) a round of Whole30. While practicing W30 I actually ovulated on my own, which had never happened before - or at least since I started charting my BBT. Since I've finished my W30, I've been a total slacker and have been giving in to naughty foods and having sweets. I'm starting another round in a couple weeks so hopefully I can jump right back on the band wagon! Anyone else doing a W30 or notice dietary changes helping your cycles?

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? @Lecool I am right there with ya! Hands down, my favorite drink is coffee. My day does not start off right unless I can stop and get my coffee on the way to work! I've been doing half-caf and decaf since starting TTC, though. It makes me feel so silly when I order!

juliebeannn · April 2016

@linzrunz oh my goodness. i'm so sorry you had to experience that. that's just awful. setting up some hefty boundaries sounds like a great idea.

houseofsetters · April 2016

@kaityh1 I'm on W30 right now! I'm hoping to keep some of these habits (especially the no grain/no sugar) when I'm done. I'll have to see when I O this cycle, but last cycle I O'd a full week and a half early, trying out increased sunlight exposure. Not sure if that's actually what helped, but it's the only thing I changed. I'm waiting for my acupuncturist to get back in town to try that too! Obviously, I'll try anything, ha!

QueenSunscreen · April 2016

@SandwichLover I hope everything goes well with your dad! I'm sorry you're so stressed.

@felix08 New Glarus is fantastic! And Moon Man is my husband's favorite. I like their Serendipity and the Berliner Weisse they put out occasionally. And I usually hate fruit-type beers.

@JediAlly85 you need a break, girl!! Congrats on your stamina

@mokay19 **hugs** to you. I hope you can get your appointment without the bureaucratic bullshit

@PepperAT I do my opks twice per day - one at 11-12 ish and another when I get home from work around 6. I've caught my surge every month since I started using them that way.

@Schumerator **hugs** for CD 1.

Edit - goddamn autocorrect

ChaoticWolf · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: Temping and trying out OPKs this cycle.

R/R/CS: I'm not really that hopeful this month because DH is still working double shifts everyday and we haven't been BD as often as we normally would. There's still a chance since I'll probably O this Friday and DH has Thursday and Friday off, but it's almost like I'm just not feeling it.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? I like anything fruity and strong, so when we go out I order things like Bahama Mamas and Caipirinhas. But when I drink at home Magners, Strongbow, and Not Your Father's Ginger Ale are my favorites. If talking about non-alcoholic drinks, I love almost any kind of fruit juice, especially apple or grape. It has to be 100% and not from concentrate though.

Edited because it's April now and I forgot to change the month part of "Month/Cycle".

PennStateCait · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Pnvs, exercise, cutting out alcohol and caffeine

R/R/CS: Even though dr cleared us to ttc after DH was in the Caribbean, DH is still uneasy and just texted me that he votes to bench us this cycle. Ugh. We shall see. I know Zika is scary but he had no bites and the dr said two weeks protected sex and that's it.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage?
Dunkin donuts iced caramel swirl coffee with cream and sugar... reducing and cutting out caffeine so I miss this.

ladystinson · April 2016

**TW: child mentioned**

@kellybean1988 hmmm..... I may have to stick with my iced tea with a crap load of lemon... its been a while since I've tried but ever since I got KU with DS (just turned 5) sparkling waters and even sprite/sprite zero taste like tonic water to me...

but I'll see if I can find it to give it a shot

thanks for the recommendation!

Lecool · April 2016

@juliebeannn I know, wall balls and box jumps are not my favorites. I can walk, but I definitely have that penguin waddle going on. I usually feel the sorest two days later, so I'm sure I'll be worse tomorrow!

canavara · April 2016

thj101 said:

@canavara that cold brew coffee sounds amazing! This may be a stupid question, but how do you cold brew coffee?

It's REALLY easy to make at home! All you need is a french press, some beans, and a cheese cloth: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/how-to-cold-brew-coffee-recipe/

virginiaham · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 8/7 (1st cycle TTCAL)

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: technically benched (***TW*** pending tracing hcg down to zero), but hopefully soon all of it

R/R/CS: ***TW*** I ordered Wondfos to trace down my levels at home while I wait to go back to my midwife and I'm just waiting for those to show up.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? Favorite adult: New Belgium 1554 (mmmm dark beers). Favorite nonalcoholic: Coca Cola hecho en Mexico!

LadyBrettAshley23 · April 2016

I'm back after a relaxing weekend trying not to think about TTC! I've been reading along but I felt better somehow not posting over the weekend.

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: prenatals + DHA, temping, CM, OPKs, HIO ED during FW (aka now!)

R/R/CS: Of course I have a bad cold starting today, just as we get started on HIO ED! Over the last 6 months of charting, my O is always between CD 11 and 13 so until Friday or Saturday I'm just telling myself:

OPK this morning was nearly positive, but still slightly lighter than the control line. I think that means I'll O tomorrow or the next day. I'll probably do another OPK this afternoon to see if it keeps getting darker.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? Definitely craft beer, specifically West Coast IPAs. I love hops!

@Megzb510 I'm sorry that your cycles aren't showing a pattern for O. That sounds like it would add a lot more stress to TTC.

@l9i I feel the same way about coffee! In fact, I switched to decaf years ago and lots of people think I'm crazy for still loving all kinds of coffee drinks.

@sldp123 Glad you enjoyed the baseball game over the weekend!

@kellybean1988 Good luck with your labs!

@SandwichLover I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Take care!

@mrsdaddario I totally understand the POAS for mental health. That's a really good way to look at it.

@felix08 Jealous that you can get New Glarus! Can you mail me some?

@sparty18 Congrats on giving up coke! That's a huge accomplishment!

@jedially85 I sometimes get light spotting during my FW that seems to be from all the ED HIO. Maybe that's what you had? Either way, good job on the 6 days in a row! You're a champ!

@houseofsetters I guess I'm guilty of trying to "read tea leaves" too! I don't think you're losing it, hehe.

@PepperAT I recommend more than once a day for OPKs. I notice darker lines in the afternoon and it helps to be able to compare the lines. I got the cheapies on Amazon so if you have Prime you can get them quick enough.

@Lecool I love the throwback Khloe gif!

@schumerator Sorry about CD 1

@canavara I love cold brew too! Mmmm

@mashunya425 I am sorry for your loss. Good luck TTCAL and take care of yourself.

kfair001 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/5

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, FF, PNV+DHA, BD ED/EOD in FW, Pre-seed

R/R/CS: Still no positive OPK. But I think it may be getting darker… Going to POAS tonight. FX for a positive. According to my chart, it would make sense for O to be tomorrow. I really hope DH is able to HIO again tonight and one more time tomorrow. He doesn’t get home from work until 9 and he is going to be exhausted. Any ideas on how I can seduce him? Jk Lol but not really. FX!

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? Favorite adult drink…Somersby Cider (I don’t think it’s available in the US), Palm Bay, Vodka Soda those three are all I really need. Non alcoholic = Diet Coke.

@Megzb510 Sorry that you’re cycles are confusing. FX that your acupuncture appointment gets O going!

@I9i Glad work has calmed down for you a little bit.

@sldp123 Yay for another baseball lover! Going to our home opener on Friday and then Saturday and Sunday too.

@kellybean1988 I was hoping for a dip today for O but nothing. Looks like I’ll be later than normal too. :sad: Boo!

@SandwichLover Sorry about the tough couple of days. Hope things get better for you in the coming days.

@mrsdaddario Yay for the stopped bleeding. It’s about time! GL this cycle!

@felix08 Vent to us anytime. That’s what we’re here for! Hope you’re having a better day today!

@Sparty18 FX that today is the day for O!!!

@JediAlly85 FX that your timing was good enough! I’m already exhausted and I’ve only BD 4 in a row!

@houseofsetters Haha you’re funny. I think we all lose it now and again!

@HurricaneAmelia FX that you can work up the motivation to get up and head into work! Hope you feel better and AF gets outta there really soon!

@ladystinson I’m a diet coke girl too. It’s literally something that I’m never going to be able to entirely give up.

@KarliQ88 Sorry about CD 1 and AF making you feel like crap on day one of vacation. BOO!

@mokay19 Can your current doctor not explain all of those details to whoever he/she refers you to? Perhaps he/she can ask and maybe they’d make an exception if they knew the whole story and the current issues.

@wineo929 There is something about the texture of yogurt that I just cannot stomach. I’m with ya on that one. Blah!

@MelissaM090 Palm Bay That is all.

@PepperAT I’m glad Monday is over too. It was a long one! Hope the boring part of your cycle flies by so you can head on over to TWW!

@sammajane19 Yay. Glad you were able to get some answers and a game plan. It sounds so promising. I’m glad that you’re feeling so positive about it now! FX for you!

@Lecool Your gif looks absolutely delicious!

@thj101 I hate when I sleep through my alarm. It literally ruins my morning so I know how ya feel.

@Schumerator Sorry about CD 1. *hugs!

@juliebeannn FX that he’s good to go today! DH always has the workout excuse at least once a cycle with me! lol

@canavara Temping really is crazy isn’t it?? It literally surprises me every cycle!

@linzrunz Oh dear! Why on earth did she do that?? I can’t say that I would have responded very well to that. Hope your headache goes away soon and your MIL if she’s slapping you across the face!

@Dilynne Aww that’s a tough situation. The mom doesn’t sound very supportive but they do seem very young so maybe there are other reasons there. In any event, it sucks that the mom has put all the responsibility on essentially a kid to organize and take care of. To be perfectly honest, if I was organizing it AND paying for it, I’d be doing it MY way and I wouldn’t be listening to a thing that the mother wants.

@rottiemom86 Glad your migraine went away.

@gonetothesea Yay for AF leaving the building! GL this cycle!

@Mashunya425 FX that you O!

@QueenSunscreen Loving the confidence!

@PaukMeKiande Fruity and strong sounds good to me!

@PennStateCait Better to be safe than sorry I think! But I bet its frustrating!

Steelerfan78 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 14/6

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPKs. temping, charting, BD EOD/ED, Vitex

R/R/CS: Started OPKs today. Really hoping that the vitex will help shorten my cycle lengths and I won't have to use 30 like last month.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? Alcohol: I prefer beer, but have started enjoying more hard ciders lately. I also make my own wine. Non-alcoholic: Publix old fashioned lemonade

felix08 · April 2016

@jedially85 your GTKY response reallllllllly made want 1. hot weather and 2. a cold beer! You are absolutely right there is nothing better.

@karliq88 sorry about CD1--especially on vacation! Have fun in NYC!

@mokay19 Vent away! How frustrating about the doctors...FX that they do not reject your referral!

@wineo929 I don't know if this is allowed with your eating plan, but if you mix some honey into plain greek yogurt, it's really good! RRL = red raspberry leaf. It's supposed to be a natural aide for fertility--probably a load of crap, but I am willing to try anything!

@sammajane19 I'm glad you are so excited about your cycle! FX that everything works as planned!

@ladystinson Thanks! I am feeling much better today.

@sldp123 I am definitely having a better day!! CD 1&2 tend to hit me pretty hard (both with cramps and emotionally, ha). And seriously--this board is a life saver. I don't know why I waited so long to start participating!

@schumerator Sorry about CD1--it is especially hard to deal with when you let yourself feel hopeful. It is equally hard to not SS and get your hopes up!

@mashunya425 So sorry about your loss. Hope you are able to figure out your cycle soon.

@queensunscreen Serendipity is sooooo good (and I'm also not typically a fruity beer fan)! There is another fruity one there that I really like, too. One of my good friends had it instead of champagne at her wedding! I can't wait until it gets warmer out so we can go visit the brewery and sit on the patio with a fresh one (although, I would prefer not being able to partake!!).

@ladybrettashley23 I have to drive an hour or two to get it, but it's totally worth it! Hope you feel better soon.

@kfair001 I am feeling much better today--thanks for checking in. FX you get a confirmed O aaaand one last HIO opportunity, lol.

NamelessAria · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 9/8 (16/11 counting cycles I didn't temp and chart. 6/6 TTCAL)

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, temping, charting, saliva microscope, checking cm/cervix, BDing when possible

R/R/CS: I think I ovulated 2 days ago but I'm waiting for another temp to confirm since my temps are a bit ambiguous. But having O'd 2 days ago makes the most sense with all the other fertility signs (cm, OPK, advanced OPK, cervix). Hopefully you ladies don't mind me hanging around another day while I wait on CHs.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? If I can count things I can't drink anymore and may never be able to drink again (why interstitial cystitis, why?!

) then I'd say my favorite alcoholic beverage was either a mascoto wine or sex on the beach. Alabama slammers were my favorite shots. And my favorite coffee beverage was either a white chocolate mocha or a caramel latte. Seasonally pumpkin spice lattes or peppermint mocha with raspberry white chocolate mochas a close runner up. I know this is probably way too many to count as a "favorite" no matter how you look at it but I just couldn't pick. There are so many things I miss SO MUCH. It's so hard and it isn't fair!

mokay19 · April 2016

@kfair001 I'm not sure if she can do that. I know she turned in the paperwork with my file so I have literally all my fingers and toes crossed that they'll see I'm the issue and that we have no reason to assume my husband has anything wrong. In almost 8 months I've had 2 periods and they were both induced by Provera! In my opinion, it makes sense to go on without the SA... But the military doesn't always make sense like that haha

mrsdee15 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: I am thinking I'm not counting this correctly and may need to adjust but for now it's 6/5, +3 NTNP

CD: 4

WAYDTGKU: Nothing yet.

R/R/CS: I had a somewhat heavy for me, but 2-day AF. Don't know what to make of that. DH isn't worried, MD wasn't worried when I mentioned a 3-day AF. Apparently I'm the only one kind of weirded out by the shortness. I don't want it to keep getting shorter and shorter and eventually stop.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? Moar wine please!

Never met a glass I didn't like. I also love champagne cocktails - a bar down here used to make one with champagne, Chambord, St. Germain, and vodka. It was so good.

MrsJ2410 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2 ( I am changing this from 4/2, I misunderstood the month/cycle relationship....I still don't know if this is right, was TTC in Jan, TTA Feb and March, TTC in April)

CD: 12

WAYDTGKU: BD ED this week, OPK, PreSeed, PNV

R/R/CS: **Possible TMI** but I am really proud of myself for peeing in a Wondfo wrapper at work. This is my first month using OPKs and the line was darker than the last line, but not as dark as control. I know some ladies here say they never get a line darker than the control though? I have been taking pics on my phone (just for comparison, not to post anywhere!) so hopefully I can see a progression when they are all lined up? I know I should be temping as well, just haven't yet.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage? I love wine and my favorite cocktail is a Negroni. For non-alcoholic: seltzer or lemonade. And I love chai!

juliebeannn · April 2016

@mrsdee15 I feel you!! My AF has gone from 4-5 days to 2.5 days over the last 2-3 years. My OBGYN wasn't concerned either but this last AF was just one day of actually using pads with another day and half of just spotting. I'm concerned but no one else seems to be. Shrug.

babymish · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: Everything & acupuncture & just started reading 'It starts with the Egg' - thanks for the recommendation @LadyMillil - I also ordered the other one (making babies?) which will arrive in the post sometime.

R/R/CS: Despite how busy I've been this WTO seems to be going so slow! I'm not even in double figures yet.
I just got home from a spin class and I am pooped - I love the feeling of crawling into bed at night shattered from the gym.

GTKY: (stolen from TWW) what's your favorite adult or nonalcoholic beverage?

Alcoholic - I love cocktails, especially carefully made cocktails with pretty things stuck in them. I'll pretty much try any cocktail. If we are talking neat alcohol I love honey metaxa.

NamelessAria · April 2016

@Megzb510 I know how you feel on the whole "normal" cycle thing. I ended up Oing (I think?) really early for me this cycle but I usually don't O till I'd already be ~7DPO or so if I had only had a "normal" cycle. It's really frustrating sometimes. I'll see people talk about "you're CD1 and I'm CD1 so we're cycle buddies!" and I always think "yeah except by the time I O you'll be halfway through the TWW

" It sucks and I'm sorry. Hopefully you O soon.

Also I see you have my taste in coffee beverages. Caramel macchiatos are like a little cup of happiness.

@sldp23 I glad y'all had fun at the game!

@kellybean1988 Ugh it is never easy when you expected to see a temp rise for O and then it doesn't happen. Hopefully either your labs will be good news or will at least give you some answers.

@SandwichLover I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. That can't be easy. Maybe you can get some BDing in today so you feel better about your timing. Lots of hugs.

@mrsdadderio haha I totally do that sometimes where I just feel the need to pee on something so I get a Wondfo OPK and pee on it, knowing it won't tell me anything, just to satisfy the urge. Hopefully you'll O soon. I'm glad you finally stopped bleeding!

@Sparty18 That is good right? I remember you being concerned about your timing with the traveling and such. Hopefully if you haven't O'd yet there is still time to get some BDing in for good timing before you do.

@JediAlly85 FX'd for some more high temps to confirm O. I know how you feel on just being ready to go to TWW. My DH isn't having anymore of the BD for TTC nonsense either.

@houseofsetters I've definitely done that. :ashamed: Hopefully you'll O soon so you can stop looking at charts expecting them to give some new insight on when you'll O.

@ladystinson I spent awhile being worried about my super short and light periods. But a lot of the ladies here (or who were here and have sinced moved to their BMBs) assured me it was fine. I talked to my doctor about it and she said it shouldn't be a problem and shouldn't prevent me from getting/staying pregnant. And when I say "short and light" I really mean short and light. My period usually lasts 2 days plus a day or 2 of barely there spotting I don't even need a pantyliner for. And I usually bleed somewhere around 10ml or less. Ya know, about 3 teaspoons. So practically nothing. I'd say just be happy your period was short.

@KarliQ88 Sorry about CD1

I hope you have a lovely vacation!

@mokay19 I'm sorry about everything. That all sounds very frustrating. I agree that it seems a bit silly to do a SA when you're not ovulating. Maybe somehow something will work out where your DH gets the time off to have the SA done or they realize it isn't really required to address the issue of anovulatory cycles.

@wineo929 Yeah I've found most greek yogurt to be disgusting. It has a weird mouthfeel/texture and it's just so tart. I've found that the Oikos greek yogurt from...Dannon? isn't as bad as some of the other brands like Chobani.

@MelissaM090 I'd probably go back in tomorrow just incase there is some reason they would need to do something before CD21. Otherwise it would just be so frustrating to have to wait till next cycle if it needed to be done pre-O or whatever. I mean I doubt it would matter but I'm super impatient and a worrier like that. Hopefully you'll get some good news from the tests!

@PepperAT I don't get positives at the same time of day every cycle, no. I've gotten a positive first thing in the morning before. I've gotten a positive at around 11pm. I've gotten a positive pretty much anytime of day inbetween. I know that the most common time to get a positive is around 11am-7pm or so. So I would suggest focusing your testing during that time frame. I usually POAS once a day till it starts to noticably darken and/or I'm getting really close to when I expect to O based off previous cycles. And then I'll switch to twice a day. Or maybe 3x/day once it looks "nearly positive."

@sammajane19 aw I'm glad you're feeling hopeful! That is great. FX'd that this will be your cycle.

@thj101 Sorry about the rough start to the day. Hopefully it gets better.

@NamelessAria Yes, it is a very good thing this cycle! Also taught me a lesson that maybe I shouldn't tell my OPK what to do... I think it gave me the early peak to get back at me.

R/R/CS: I just ate plain greek yogurt for the first time (part of my 22 minute hard corps eating plan) and I never want to put that in my mouth again. Ever. Bleh. Even if it has bananas and blueberries in it.

Plain greek yoghurt takes some getting used to if you don't usually have it - I grew up on the stuff and love it. You can put a little bit of greek honey in it to sweeten it up which is gorgeous - and then its common to dip fresh bread (baguette style) in to eat it with instead of a spoon! Sooooooo good
