Re: WTO Monday
Morning @mrsdaddario
Month/cycle: 5/1
CD: 113
WAYDTGKU: PNV, back to HIO because IDGAF anymore.
R/R/CS: So when I put in my temp yesterday I got dotted CH's. FREAKING CROSSHAIRS! For CD 109!!! Which started the BSC symptom spotting and googling of things like "what are the chances of ovulating on cycle day 109". I did manage to talk myself down because really, it is highly unlikely, I've had zero other O symptoms, I've only been temping for two weeks, and I did "fake" AF so it thinks I'm actually only CD 16 which is untrue. But thanks for the mind f*ck FF! And of course as a fluke we did HIO that day for the first and only time in over a week so now I'm going to spend the next two weeks in WTO while secretly trying to hide from TWW craziness. Question: If I keep inputting temps that don't confirm O (like if I go back under my cover line multiple times) will it smarten up and take away my CH's?
GTKY: Maybe not particularly unusual but I'm afraid of flying/planes. Most of my family are big travelers (cross-continent or across the world multiple times a year) and I have no interest or desire to travel. Top that off with crazy nightmares and fears about crash landings and I stick to traveling within driving distance. No one "gets it" that it's actually a fear and everyone always just tells me to takes drugs for it. But it's bigger deal than that!

WAYDTGKU: After a follicular phase full of procrastination, everything has now begun!
R/R/CS: I mean, it's Monday, so that kind of blows, but the sun is shining and it's supposed to be 81 degrees today!
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary? I am terrified of heights. I know this is probably a somewhat common fear, but I think my reaction may be a little extreme (like fall the floor, cling to the wall extreme).
CD: 24
WAYDTGKU: Acronyms + acupuncture
R/R/CS: Really hoping today is O! On chart overlay, my temp today lined up nicely with my previous O temps. Y'all. I need a break from the sexing. Please.
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary?
I can't think of any! I have all the normal fears; spiders, snakes, heights, home invasion, ya know.
CD: 35
WAYDTGKU: bbt pnv OPKs cm HIO
R/R/CS: DH and I had a great weekend away for a wedding. It was super fun to get away. Unfortunately I didn't temp Sunday morning cuz I drank the night before and didn't feel like waking up. Plus even if I had woken up i probably would be discarding that temp. Sleep was worth it, but I think I will have to wait a few more day to see if I will get CH.
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary? I am terrified of puppets and people in costume. So sports mascots, shopping mall Santa and Easter bunny, all the masked characters as Disney are terrifying to me.

@felix08 That description of your fear of heights made me cackle. It's funny....but not funny because it's your fear lol.

WAYDTGKU: At this point just waiting....and all the three letter stuff
R/R/CS: Just waiting for the RE appointment on Thursday. DH and I both took the day off so we could really take our time and not rush the process by worrying about having to get back to work.
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary?
I'm actually really afraid of horses!! My fear has lessened over the years, but to this day the biggest horse I've ever touched has only been a mini-horse. Which was over this past winter. And even that had my heart racing! My dad's long time friend was married to a race horse training when I was really little. They took me to the stables and walked me through. A horse bucked in his stall, and although he didn't even come near to hurting me, it scarred me for life lol.

WAYDTGKU: Metformin, PNV, temping, sex, 4 days til the doctor!
R/R/CS: ugh it's Monday! but I'm still extremely happy that my appointment is this week! I'm also nervous that it'll only be a consultation and they won't really doooo anything. However, I have a two-week cushion where my husband will be out of town so I won't be in too much of a rush I suppose. It's just such a hassle taking off work for the doctors!
GTKY: KETCHUP. If I smell it, I gag. If I see it, I start getting hot and have to take deep breaths so I don't puke or gag. Omg it's the grossest thing. My husband says I have ketchup-phobia.
CD: 22
WAYDTGKU: PNV, temping, OPK until they run out. Still HIO. 0 idea when O is coming.
R/R/CS: So my fertile signs have disappeared and my OPKs have gotten lighter. It seems like my body was gearing up to O and then changed its mind. I'm frustrated but I'm in a better place than yesterday. Just hoping O will happen and I don't end up with a long cycle. I have had occasional long cycles (once every year or two) that end with O but not until day 40 something. I just really hope that's not what's happening.
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary?
I am fearful of real world events. I get nervous about things like car accidents and illnesses.

WAYDTGKU: nothing other than PNV at the moment
R/R/CS:I'm here until my body tells me to be elsewhere. H had a great visit with his Dr and they determined everything is in his head-not sure how to help him but at least he has some answers! FF isn't helpful, no idea if I ovulated yet. Boobs hurt, I'm cranky and wierd stomach pains so I'm either ovulating, getting my period or KU. Considering backing off from all temping and testing to make the process less stressful for both of us and then just see what happens.
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary?
Nothing really unusual, I hate cliffs or the edge of anything that drops off but will gladly jump from a plane!

WAYDTGKU: temping, cm tracking, starting sex up tonight
R/R/CS: had undeniably ewcm yesterday which is odd because I never start this early. Then all day today is definitely sticky. Think yesterday was a weird thing.
Ive been thinking and with May 5 being our one year mark, I'm gonna call for some testing. I don't think my insurance covers an re but I'll ask what our options are. I don't think I'm mentally there yet to think much past some basic tests. I just don't know how I feel about assisstance yet. Is that normal?. Anyone else struggling to make that decision? (The decision to accept intervention/assisstance in drug form.)
ETA. I really feel like I worded this wrong but can't think of how else to phrase it. If someone takes it offensively, please know that's not my intention. I deleted a portion because I just wasn't comfortable with how it may come off.
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary?
I have an unusual fear of railings. I don't have a fear of height but every railing I imagine people just falling over and I won't stand near them. My college friend died falling over a 4th floor stairwell and I've been panicking around them ever since.
@aammyy33 it may take it away but I've seen others have charts that kept them. FF is funny sometimes.
@felix08 I have to be touching a wall as well. It makes me feel safe. My fear is literally people will just dally over. Not jump or trip. Like it has some gravitational pull and the wall will save me.
@mrsdaddario I'm terrified of being on horses. Not being by them but I really am not a fan of riding them. Good luck at the re on Thursday. Could you take a look at my question above? Maybe offer some insight if you have time please?

WAYDTGKU: THE SEX!!! and all the other stuff too
R/R/CS: Bodies are amazing. (sometimes good/sometimes bad) But it's crazy to me that I turned an OPK this morning on CD24, which is the exact CD I turned it last cycle. It's really just mind boggling to me that with a longish cycle and doing all sorts of things differently this time around and it happened at exactly the same time on exactly the same day. OK, weird body excitement episode over...
Also total rave- my parents came to visit this past weekend and helped DH and I build awesome raised bed gardens. So psyched to start planting!!
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary? Not really fears... I just get really paranoid that things are wrong/broken/malfunctioning even though there is no reason for them to be. Like someone broke into my house even though the alarm didn't go off or my car is going to fall apart even though nothing is obviously broken on it. Just crazy irrational stuff to worry about for no good reason!
Hope you all have a great day! Be back later (probably several times, cuz that's how TB works
Month/Cycle: 2/2 (though this is the first month of doing all of the stuff I list below!)
CD: 16
WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, and OPKs.
R/R/CS: (Long rant, sorry.) My cycles have been anywhere from 22-34 days over the past year or so, but on average they're about 26. I started OPKs on CD9 and freaked out when the stupid thing wouldn't go positive for nearly a week. Before we started trying, I had an appointment with my doctor who mentioned offhand that she thinks I may not be ovulating (and already gave me info about Clomid, just in case), so of course I have it in the back of my mind that it's not going to happen ever. Both FF and Glow kept pushing my fertile window back every day I got a negative, which frustrated my DH because I kept telling him "I think today's the day!" only for it to be pushed back another day. I think he's getting a little tired of BD-ing.
So I FINALLY got a positive OPK yesterday and I ran out of the bathroom in tears because I was so excited. I was on my way out to book club with friends and playfully told him something like, "you, me, tonight, be ready." And of course, he couldn't make it happen last night. Or this morning. I know it's not his fault, really, but I can't help being upset. I'm hoping we don't miss the window completely (because I won't be home until late tonight and got my positive OPK around 6:00p yesterday), and I can't help the sinking feeling of disappointment that we might miss it. Left for work this morning in tears. I feel like I've put so much time and energy already into figuring out if/when I'm going to O, and when I finally get there, he can't be on the same page. So on top of it being Monday, I'm already feeling down.
On the positive side, my crazy-person schedule dies down a little after this week, and it's supposed to be super nice all week. Think I'll go for a walk outside after work today to try to de-stress a little!
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary?
Farm equipment and ceiling fans. I've known one too many people who have been injured by giant pieces of farm equipment, and I never let anyone turn the ceiling fans in our house on full strength because I think they'll detach from the ceiling and fall down and the blades will chop someone's head off. Ridiculous, I know, but there it is.
Keeping fingers crossed and sending positive juju to all of you! I hope this is our month!

R/R/CS: Happy Monday ya'll. I feel a tension headache coming on...ugh. I go back to the RE tomorrow for a third time to see if I'm responding to this higher dose of Letrozole. Really hope I am...If not, I don't know what the next step is.

WAYDTGKU: meh
R/R/CS: I'm really feeling down today and I don't know why. My temp went up today, but only to my normal pre-O temp and I just feel deflated. I did test what would happen if I have high temps the next two days and it will confirm O as yesterday, which is what I figured. But I just feel off. I have no real O symptoms like I usually do. I almost always have some sort of crampy feeling and sore BBs. Although each month has been less and less. But I was in the shower this morning and just felt overwhelmed and like I'm out this month. For no reason. Ugh....
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary?
Butterflies scare the crap out of me. I think they are beautiful but I can't get close to them. Funny story - H didn't know my fear of them and took me to a butterfly sanctuary on our second date as a surprise. I tried so hard to be cool with it but I was definitely not. Turned out to be hilarious and a fun story to look back on.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, charting, PNV, the works.
R/R/CS: (Not so) patiently waiting for CD1 because I think we, as a TB team, decided I had an annovulatory cycle.
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary? Dentists. I can't even walk into a dentists office without bursting into tears and if they tell me I need a filling or anything I have a full on toddler meltdown.

GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary? I fear choking on food pretty much every meal, every day.

R/R/CS: I'm having a hard time forgiving myself for waiting so long to try to conceive. There were always reasons to wait, such as money or wanting to do other things first. Now, I often cry because I waited and waited, and lost my grandparents during the wait.
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary?
Taxidermy. Dead animals terrify me. Dead humans, not so much. I can attend funerals or human body exhibits with no fear. Dead animals are horrifying. The bigger, the scarier. Bones don't do it for me, it's the skin and hair that gets me. Fur coats do it too, but I can handle my husband wearing leather. I imagine that taxidermy will fall on me and touch me, and I can feel the blood rush to my face and the tears fill my eyes. I'm the vegetarian sister of an avid hunter. Holidays get uncomfortable at times.

R/R/CS: I. literally. cried. all. weekend. My husband is a SAINT for putting up with me and not getting annoyed with me after the 87th time I burst into tears over the weekend. I have just been super emotional ever since my OBGYN referred me to a RE. Now, I keep going back and forth in my head between "it's too soon to see a RE," and "My OBGYN would not have referred me if she didn't think it was time for more testing." I just can't seem to get a grip and the smallest things set me off over the weekend. Once, I was in the office printing something (the paperwork for the RE) and that office is what will be turned into a nursery if we are ever blessed with a baby. As I was waiting for the document to print, I just burst into tears thinking that this room might stay an office forever. Then, DH came in and just held me as a cried. This is just one example of my many breakdowns over the weekend. I'm hoping Monday will keep me occupied and I'm done being emotional for a bit!
GTKY: I am terribly afraid of paper cuts between my fingers. Like the thought of handling paper in a way that could give me a paper cut between any of my fingers is making me nauseous right now.

WAYDTGKU: all the things
R/R/CS: I went in to the RE for my pre-consult blood test this morning. I actually had a really positive experience! It was such a relief to feel like I was in good hands; everyone was sooo friendly and professional - the receptionist, billing and the nurses. The nurse also told me how much she loved the RE I would be seeing (it's a large group practice), which also made me feel great. They will be testing for FSH, AMH and E2, which I understand (at the most basic level) tell different parts of the picture with regard to my ovarian quality and quantity. Unfortunately, I won't hear anything about the results until my consult on 5/3, which feels like a million years from now, but I'm glad this step is done. Now I'm off to google feverishly!
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary? Aside from the standard stuff (yes, I'm the girl closing her ears and eyes at the site of a scary/violent movie), I do get freaked out when I have to send important emails out to large group of important people -esp clients. I re-read it a million times and then quadruple check the recipients. I've been burned on that before and it's the worst! And then sometimes I check my sent mail to make sure it was right AGAIN. Afterwards, I usually have to walk away and shake it off! haha.

@MamaMunn FX for good results on the SA!
@Kenya715 Sorry you're down in the dumps today. I hope your day gets better!
@elizabethpike Welcome lady! Sorry for the troubles with your DH! I think a lot of women around here have found that if they don't approach the FW to their DH's as HIO specifically for BD it goes over easier. As in, make the HIO more about the sex, and don't necessarily tell DH WHY it's time to do it RIGHT NOW. I think a lot of guys have performance anxiety when it's thrown at them from that angle!
@mrsdaddario I got a + OPK Saturday night, I've had EWCM off and on since CD8. So ready to O! I think it's great you both took the day for your RE appt, we're planning to do the same! I'm excited for you to get a game plan!!

I can't stop staring at my chart. Those stupid dotted CH just won't move and I'm starting to feel like they might be right, which means we would have Zero chance this cycle.

I'm terrified of going underwater. Reason being that going too far underwater will collapse my crappy eardrums (actually a real thing cautioned by my ENT). Of course, that warped even worse in my young brain from > 10ft to any sort of submersion. THANKS BRAIN. Water in my ears has induced panic attacks in the past, although I've gradually worked my way to it just making me really anxious but still functioning if I'm expecting it. PRO TIP: Don't randomly push people in the pool, even if they seem okay with swimming. I've ruined parties with that more than once before.

@megzb510 I'm glad you're weekend was fun. That sounds like a good time.
@elizabethpike I don't blame you for feeling stressed about missing your window. I hope you don't miss it completely.
@beary67 emotional moments can be so draining. I'm sorry for how you felt over the weekend, but it's understandable.
@songbirdinthecity I'm glad you're RE experience was so great!
@snobunniemel *hugs* I hope you're doing alright in spite of what you're going through. I can only imagine that feeling.
@sarah0985 I hear ya! The thought of hitting that point scares me and I don't know what I will do if it comes to they. I'm sorry you are having to stress about this.
@elizabethpike Hello & Welcome! I think many here will agree, men are definitely prone to performance anxiety. We struggled with it for awhile and it's hard on both of you. I'm sure your H isn't happy about it either. We tend to stick to a need to know basis and I try to give little hits instead of saying "we have to do it now" type deal. Good luck and I hope things work out this cycle, if not, stick around!
@Kenya715 sorry you're having a hard time. FX you get some answers soon!
@beary67 Sending all the creepy internet hugs your way! I'm sorry to hear you had a rough weekend, but also glad you weren't home alone and had a supportive husband by your side. Hope you are feeling a little better today!

@felix08 H is terrified of heights too. I have never seen him react that way though. That is extreme!
@houseofsetters I hear you on the break from HIO! FX you O today.
@Megzb510 One of my friends growing up was afraid of people in costume. I live in FL and very close to Disney, but she always refused to go. More common than you would think. FX you get CH soon.
@mrsdaddario That gif is right on for this past week! Also, is it weird it made me think of Tom Petty? I'm thinking it's the combination of the video for Don't Come Around Here No More and the Waiting song. Haha!
@mokay19Hope this week goes fast for you before your appointment!
@AliciaGooseLong cycles are the worst! FX you O soon.
@leekat14 Glad your H had a good visit.
@sarah0985 I feel the same way. We started trying over a year ago, but had to take some time off due to medical reasons. Since we haven't been a full 12 months straight, I have convinced myself we don't need to worry about it yet. I say it's all up to how you feel about it and when you are ready, you'll know.
@RedBreast35 I love gardening. It is such a stress relief for me and you get rewarded with fresh foods!
@elizabethpike Welcome!
@sammajane19 Hope you feel better soon. FX for good results tomorrow.
@gonetothesea My fear stems from a childhood experience too. Mine was not that horrible, but not easy to shake. FX you O tomorrow.
@Kenya715 Sorry you feel so down today. Wow, I have never heard of anyone being afraid of butterflies. I raise them and now I feel bad about posting pictures of them on here the other day. Hope I didn't freak you out.
@Dilynne FX you don't have to wait too long.
@virginiaham FX your temp stays up.
@20T Hope you feel better soon.
@MamaMunn Long cycles are torture! FX you get good results.
@MollyandD Taxidermy is pretty creepy. FX you have a good first cycle.
@beary67 Sorry you had a rough weekend. ((Hugs))
@SongbirdintheCityGlad everything went well this morning.

GTKY: I am absolutely terrified of cats. I don't mind lions and tigers, but house cats scare the shit out of me. I found out why a few years ago. Apparently my parents took me to a drive-in grinder film when I was about 2 years old and the movie was about a serial killer who ground up his victims and fed them to his cats. He then ends up dead himself somehow and the cats are hunger so they attack people. They said I walked around for a good year or so telling everyone that cats eat people. I know it's irrational, but I can't help it. If I see a cat I start to hyperventilate and have to get away. What were my parents thinking??

WAYDTGKU: Nada today. Waiting for AF to leave.
R/R/CS: Yesterday, AF showed up again. Although, I was prepared for it this cycle, it's still frustrating.
GTKY: Do you have any unusual fears? Something others might not find scary? Nothing really comes to mind. I have a fear of spiders and mice, but I don't think that's unusual.
On another note, today marks the 120th running of the Boston Marathon. I'm so proud of my city and how it has responded since the tragic events three years ago. I just want to wish the best of luck to all of the runners participating in today's race.

@beary67 and here I was practically jealous of your blissful yoga/gym/nice weather weekend and yet, you're feeling feels all over the place. I'm sorry you're having such a rough time right now. :( It's normal to feel a whole range of mixed up emotions. My 2 cents FWIW; Let yourself feel them, take time to care for yourself, ...and then cowgirl up, woman! :) The office WON'T be the office forever, and all is not lost. Everything is going to work out fine, in due time. Maybe not always in the time that we want, or in the way that we imagine, but it does. I really do believe that. <3

@furbabymom2007 GL tomorrow! I know it will go fine, and the truth is, even if it is a bit uncomfortable because they find a blockage or something, then at least it would mean you will be getting an answer where they can DO something about it, right? Hang in there...

Day two of blinkey smiley, actually managed to get some, "quality time," in last night, so that's a step in the right direction.
<b>R/R/CS</b>: I don't know why, but I have had this feeling for a few days that this would be our cycle. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I suppose it's important to stay hopeful. My appetite/weight are truly out of control, so I'm going to try and push myself into going for a run this afternoon...
<b>GTKY</b>: I dislike escalators and apparently also driving over bridges. Escalators WILL SEVERE OFF YOUR FEET/TOES! This is why we don't wear flip-flops to the mall. That, and could be dirty needles in the parking lot. ;) Mostly I know bridges are no big deal unless it's very windy. In which case YOUR VEHICLE WILL GET PICKED UP BY THE WIND AND BLOWN OFF OVER A CLIFF. You have been warned.
@elizabethpike The ceiling fan thing sounds completely reasonable to me!

@sarah0985 I know how you are feeling, and it sucks. I struggle a lot with feeling like a failure because my uterus doesn't work the way it is supposed to. I remember hating the uncertainty when I was undergoing testing and waiting for appointments because I didn't know what was wrong, if it could be fixed, and if we would get a baby. I think @mrsdaddario explained it well, because going to the RE does represent hope. To me, it also represents answers. I know my diagnosis. I know my odds of success. I know we are trying everything we possibly can to have a baby. Even though there is still uncertainty, I have a plan now, and I know when we will say "no more" and move on to being child free not by choice.
You are not alone. 1 in 8 couples in the US and 1 in 6 couples in Canada struggle with IF.
@beary67 I'm so sorry you're finding yourself in this place too. It really sucks. When we moved, we left our 3rd bedroom empty on purpose. . I'm now envisioning other plans. I just can't handle it anymore some days. I think of how a gym could go in there. But then I'm like noooo. It's for the baby. Hugs. You're not alone.
@snobunniemel I'm so sorry to see you here. Hugs.
@mrsdaddario @felix08 @20t @pepperat @steelerfan78 @ladymillil
i love you ladies. Your words have helped me more than you know. I think the advice to look at it as hope is an important one. I don't handle failure well and while I wasn't explicitly thinking of this as failure, i was looking at it as looking for help which I have NEVER been good at. I like to put on a front that everything is in control (because usually it is because I'm a control freak) and this is admitting I am not in control of this. I try not to get down too often and think positively but today was just a long hard day. (Stressful day at work) I'm ready for bed and another day tomorrow. I'm gonna call my obgyn tomorrow and make an appointment. At the very least, I have till mid August to make my decisions about interventions. Early June starts Ramadan (I don't fast but my h does) and that includes fasting from all things including sex from sun up to sun down so we'd most likely have poor timing that month anyway and then id be visiting America for July. It felt good to get these thoughts out there and read all yours. Truly, thank you.
