WAYDTGKU: all of the things.

R/R/CS: I'm trying to be a little less attached to TTC & TB this month Sadness. I just think it might help, IDK. I think I think a little too much about it all, I think we all might sometimes (hehe) just going to try to focus on being a bit more positive moving forward

GTKY: Rice & Bean Enchiladas in a Creamy Tomatillo Sauce

WAYDTGKU: PNV, I have a BBT but haven't started temping yet. CM,

R/R/CS: I'm grumpy today. I was trying to get DH in the shower with me this morning and we ended up having a big fight, so now I'm starting my day grumpy.

*Stolen from TWW*

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight?? Grilled cheese sandwiches on Rosemary Parmesan bread. Not sure what else.

felix08 · April 2016

@thefarmerswife0411 Do whatever you need to do for your mental health! We'll miss you, but we understand if you need to take a step back. TTC can become all-consuming, which isn't healthy.

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 18

WAYDTGKU: now just temping and waiting it out

R/R/CS: Well, FF actually gave me CH for CD15 after another high temp today, but I'm calling BS. I think my temp tomorrow will change it to CD16, so I'm staying here for now.

*Stolen from TWW*

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight?? H has to work late so probably some thai leftovers from last night.

Steelerfan78 · April 2016

@thefarmerswife0411 It really is tough to not think about. Nothing wrong with taking a break and being kind to yourself. We all deserve it, that's for sure!

WAYDTGKU: anything & everything

R/R/CS: Just waiting on O....

GTKY: balsamic chicken with caprese salad

mrsdaddario · April 2016

Morning @thefarmerswife0411! I was holding off on starting the thread this morning because I couldn't think of a good GTKY question! Then I was going to steal the TWW's question and when I came back you'd already done it! Great minds think a like!! Sorry you feel like you're overthinking things! I feel you on TB addiction, but for me it's like...because I do obsess about it anyway it gives me an outlet to not drive DH and my BFF's crazy with it. Of course there are days when the BFP's get to me, but for the most part I find TB cathartic! Hope the break helps!

@stardust317 Ahh sorry for the bad start to your morning! I hope your day gets better!

Month/Cycle: 7/4

CD: 34

WAYDTGKU: Drinking all the RLT, taking all the PNV, checking all my CM, taking all my BBT's and HIO sometimes....lol

R/R/CS: This morning on my way to work all I could replay in my head was Tomorrow from Annie because our RE appointment is tomorrow LOL

*Stolen from TWW*
GTKY: What's for dinner tonight??

I'm making Crock Pot Honey Sriracha Chicken! Normally I would put it on a bun and make fries with it for DH. But since he's still on night shift and won't be home tonight I'm just going to eat the chicken on it's own and make a big salad to go with it!

hanshotfirst77 · April 2016

apparently the bump gods don't want me to post cause it keeps eating it. And on cd 2 no less...I give up.

WAYDTGKU: normal things for now

R/R/CS: HSG yesterday. It wasn't all that bad until he pushed the dye in. My right side looks great, left not so much. Doc said he could see a little bit of dye getting through but not nearly as good as the right side. And you definitely can't see it draining like you can on the right. He didn't explicitly say the worked "blockage" but it's easy to see it doesn't look like the other side. He said my doc may want to try to open it up, but I'll have to talk about that with her in my follow up. He also saw a polyp in my uterus that he said "probably wasn't clinically significant". My follow up Was scheduled for the end of May because I'd assumed the HSG would be normal and then we would give it another cycle or two after the HSG to see if we could do it on our own. After yesterday I called the office and pulled my follow up in to this Friday.

I am really bummed about it. It seems like everything we test turns out to be "on the low side of average or just below". I fee like All of these things are adding up and just working totally against us.

To top it all off I know I ovulated on the righ side (the good side) last month as confirmed by ultrasound at the REs office. If it alternates, then I'll ovulate on the left this month which just sucks. I know that just because it was right last month doesn't mean it will be left this month but still.

We will see what the RE thinks we should do on Friday, but I am scared she is going to IVF is the only way now (yes I acklowledge I am probably being a bit dramatic but I can't help it)

Edited to add: just for the results of the blood panels from last week at the REs office and it shows that my vitamin D is low. So we'll add that to the list of things working against us

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight??

Cat fish sandwiches from blue apron.

Edited to add blood test results

sarah0985 · April 2016

@thefarmerswife0411 I've taken some time off because I've had visitors lately and been super busy. While it helps to not consume my minds, I find it's the being busy part that helps, not the Being off the bump part. That's just me though but I understand where you're coming from. I'm with @mrsdaddario. It helps me not want to talk to every other soul about it.

@stardust317 I hate fights over stupid things. My husbands and I biggest fight yet in our 4.5 years together was because I made him soup. (Well it started there. Haha) hope your day gets better.

@mrsdaddario I'm thinking about you! Can't wait to hear how your re appointment goes.

Month/Cycle: 12/10

CD: 11

WAYDTGKU: sex bbt cm

R/R/CS: not a lot. My sister in law may be getting engaged soon so super excited about that! Arab engagement parties are so fun! (I got to have one in Jordan but we had an American wedding in Chicago) so I'm also looking forward to the wedding since I haven't gotten to experience one with his family (with friends yes) we should know this week. let the dress shopping commence!!

*Stolen from TWW*

Gtky: baked chicken with steamed brocolli. Not too exciting. Haha

WAYD: charts and temps, sex on hold until May

R/R/CS: No dice, temp went down.

GTKY: Bacon potato soup!

mrsdaddario · April 2016

@furbabymom2007 I was thinking about you and the hsg yesterday. I'm sorry to hear it wasn't the best news. Did the doctor say if it was possible to unblock the tube? Or is that something you will go over on Friday? I think it's possible the dye sometimes pushes blockages out. Did the doctor say if that was a possibility in your case? I know I bled for 8 days after my hsg with clear tubes, maybe with luck the dye will have flushed out some of that block and you'll bleed it out. Fx for good news Friday. Keep us posted!

furbabymom2007 · April 2016

@mrsdaddario thank you for your thoughts! The doc didn't really say much because I have to have the follow up with my actual doc on Friday. So naturally I have already scoured the Internet. There hasn't been much bleeding so far (just some red tinged cm) so I am not sure. The REs practice website mentions tubal cannulation so I am wondering if that is an option. I also wonder if I will need to repeat the HSG. The doc stopped yesterday because I was obviously feeling significant discomfort/pain At the time I thought I was going to explode but as soon as he stopped trying to push the fluid the pressure was gone and it was fine. So I wonder if I go in expecting the type of pain it will be if he could be a bit more aggressive with the dye.

Good luck with your appt as well tomorrow!

R/R/CS: experienced my first EWCM while TTC today. Ready to go at it when SO comes home this afternoon!

Month/Cycle: 7/4

WAYDTGKU: PNV+DHA, Folic acid, BBT, Charting, CM, OPK

R/R/CS: Headed to the tax office to get new license plates for my car and then I have to see about changing the color for DH's car because for some reason it's listed as maroon when the car is charcoal grey.....hmmmm. Can we say user error? Lol.

Rave I finally have a dr appt Monday to see what the heck is going on with my body. "Excuse me.....um AF? WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU AT??????"

*Stolen from TWW*

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight?? Bacon cheese burgers and fries. yummy

@thefarmerswife0411 hey girlie. I think everyone needs a break once in a while from TB. But you'll be missed and my thoughts go out to you. Side note....your dinner sounds fabulous!!!

@steelerfan78 I love your gif!!! That's exactly how I feel too. lol

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight?? I also do Blue Apron, @furbabymom2007! I already made the catfish sandwiches on Monday. They were pretty good. I am making the roasted chicken and mixed mushrooms with rosemary orange salad and chipotle pan sauce tonight!

beary67 · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPKs, Sex EOD, Exercise, Yoga, Acupuncture

R/R/CS: I feel like I'm dying (I'm being dramatic--obvy). I had my first workout with a personal trainer this morning. I am meeting with him every Wednesday and Friday for at least 4 weeks and will likely extend past that. I literally can barely sit down or walk (which means I'm miserable regardless of what I'm doing right now) and my quads are on fire. I also have an awful headache, which I never get. I can't wait to see how I feel tomorrow!

On a TTC note, I'm starting to get some watery CM YAY!! Yesterday, my acupuncturist sensed some imbalances she was concerned about yesterday from my pulse but said she noticed a big difference after my session. She also wants me to eat celery, and I hate celery! But I'm going to do it to see if there are any differences for my next appointment on Friday.

GTKY: Probably turkey in a lettuce wrap and a fruit salad.

beary67 · April 2016

@gonetothesea oh my goodness I LOVE that gif!!! and episode!!

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, EOD

R/R/CS: I'm not really feeling it this month. The disappointment from last month just kind of crushed the fun of it for me.

GTKY: Salads, I think.

furbabymom2007 · April 2016

@gonetothesea I made that last night! It was really tasty! One word of advice, the recipe has you cook the chicken and mushrooms in the same pan for the same amount of time. Our mushrooms came out too crispy. I might suggest cooking the mushrooms for less time than the chicken. Just keep an eye on them

SnobunnieMel · April 2016

Month/Cycle: I don't know how to quantify this anymore it's complicated 2/2 TTCAL (but just had CP)

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT (new thermometer just came in), ovaboost, myo inositol, fertilaid, fertilecm and will EOD soon

R/R/CS: new thermometer came in and my temp is back down to where it was before all the crap which is oddly comforting last cycle my temps stayed higher than normal for the whole time. Frustrated it's taking my OB office so long to get back to me after my second set of blood work Monday

*Stolen from TWW*

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight??

Grilled pork loin, kale salad and Parmesan risotto

Awesome, I will keep that in mind. I had noticed that their cook times are a little bit longer than I would like. I have been knocking off a minute or two when it comes to cooking the veggies.

Dilynne · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/1

CD: 40

WAYDTGKU: I'm literally trying everything I can think of at the moment.

R/R/CS: Last night I got a big dose of reality and realized how manipulative and toxic my relationship with my mother is. The long and the short of it is that she screamed at me, called me immature, childish and irresponsible and now I have decided not to talk to her until she apologizes because she was way out of line.

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight?? Ugh. I forgot to take out dinner. Probably carrots.

FrancesGrace630 · April 2016

Month/cycle 10/10

WAYDTGKU: whole30 diet, chiropractic, first acupuncture appointment tomorrow! + the usual stuff

R/R/CS: We got DHs SA results back and everything looked good on his end. Thanks God! Now I'm just waiting for my OBGYN to get back to me so we can set up an appointment with the RE.

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight?? Well I'll be at work so nothing exciting. I'll probably bring a sandwich and some soup.

moosette113 · April 2016

@mrsdaddarioFX your appointment goes well tomorrow!

@furbab ymom2007 I'm sorry yesterday was disappointing, but I hope your follow up on Friday gives you some answers!

SnobunnieMel I am so sorry to see you back here

Month/Cycle: 2/2 TTCAL

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: temping, CM, PNV

R/R/CS: ***TW loss, D&C*** I don't think I've been so excited in my life for CD1. I was stressing over my chart even though it's only the first cycle temping and it was following a D&C. I woke up this morning to a large temp drop which I figured was due to restless sleep and was all prepared to discard it tomorrow. But it was actually CD1 and legitimately did a happy dance. I texted H a screenshot of my chart with the caption SCIENCE!!!

*Stolen from TWW*

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight?? Our usual main proteins (piece of fish for me, some sort of sausage for H) and hericot vert with shallots as a side

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight??

No idea. I'll likely come up with something an hour or two beforehand. I'm not even trying right now

20T · April 2016

@thefarmerswife0411 we will miss you but take all the time you need!

@stardust317 sorry for the annoying morning, why do our Hs just not do what we want, so rude!

@Mamamunn so glad SA results were great!

@mrsdaddario fingers crossed for a helpful RE meeting tomorrow.

@jedially85 hang in there internet friend!

@furbabymom2007 sorry for the painful HSG, hopefully you'll get a plan on Friday.

@monalisaralphio and @SnobunnieMelhugs to you friends!

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight?? I'm a blue apron-er too! Tonight is fontina & pesto grilled cheese sandwiches

sarah0985 · April 2016

@furbabymom2007 I'm so sorry to read all this. I really hope it's something that is fixable. I'm not sure where you live but just a 15 min walk in a tshirt in the sun daily can help your vitamin d. Hugs and I hope your appointment Friday brings some news that is better than ivf.

@beary67 stick with it. The beginning sucks but my trainer changed my life. I don't know where I'd be without having met him. He's a very good friend now.

@mamamunn congrats on the good outcome for the analysis!!!! Great news!

mrsdee15 · April 2016

WAYDTGKU: Was doing all the things, now I'm just getting irritated in lack of O.

R/R/CS: My cycles had been getting shorter off BCP, but this and the last one had later O again. I'm also not sleeping well and am cranky. I'm irrationally worried I'm somehow all out of hormones and my body just isn't working.

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight?? Penne with beefy marinara.

20T · April 2016

Way to go @beary67 ! I'm trying to workout again (and not too strenuously even) and I'm over here like

WAYDTGKU: OPK & RLT this month

R/R/CS: Decided to chill a bit this month and only go off of OPK to track my LH. I think I'm starting the rise, because I woke up 100% stone cold foul this morning. I've cussed out basically anything that mildly irritates me, so I guess my hormones are fluctuating -_-

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight??
ACH. I forgot to take down some chicken from the freezer. Who knows, now!

WAYDTGKU: vitamins, OPK, HIO

R/R/CS: well this AF is making me want to hulk smash all over the place, it's kind of funny really. This morning my alarm went off at 5:30 and when I tried to get up DH rolls over and tries to ever so casually "accidentally" drop his hardon in my hand. Are you effing serious? #1, I'm on my period, get lost. #2, it's 5:30am, double get lost. :P

*Stolen from TWW*

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight?? we are having what we call "leftover fiesta" and basically that means fend for yourself with whatever's in the fridge. and may the odds be forever in your favor.

hunnybunny17 · April 2016

@furbabymom2007 Sorry about the partially blocked tube and polyp. Hopefully these are easy and inexpensive fixes. I totally feel you on being on the wrong side of things/statistics. Hugs.

Month/Cycle: 1AL

WAYDTGKU: Letrozole, Ovidrel, TI, charting, more fruits and veggies

R/R/CS: This Wednesday is very different from last Wednesday :tear: When I was out with DH yesterday he told me to pick something off the sale shelf of garden ornaments (frogs, turtles, etc.) I ended up picking what is now Ralphie's (LO's nickname) remembrance memorial thing. It's sitting in one of the flower beds.

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight??
I don't even know.

KristoKekerooni · April 2016

Month/Cycle: 20/20

WAYDTGKU: Humping on hump day

R/R/CS: Feeling okay. Hoping this is the month. But I say that every month. I keep thinking if I get KU this month, then when I visit my sister, I'll be exactly 12 weeks I can tell her, and when I go to my SIL's wedding I will have just found out the sex... Definitely dreaming of things that could be. Speaking of dreams, woah on the Pregnancy dreams. I have almost never dream I am pregnant, but in the last week I've had several. The first was a dream where I POAS and it was positive... it took me a bit after I woke to realize it was a dream.The next night I dreamed I was super pregnant and eating all the things, two nights later, I dreamed about delivery and then last night I had a dream where I was putting the baby down for a nap. Weird. So weird.

GTKY: What's for dinner tonight??

Ugh. I don't know! I took chicken out so probably just grilled chicken and a southwest black bean salad

felix08 · April 2016

@mrsdaddario you're almost there! can't wait to hear about the appointment...tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow (now it's in my head...)

@jedially85 Sorry about the post--and CD 2--really CD 2 pretty much sums it up.

@furbabymom2007 Sorry about the not-so-great news with the HSG--hopefully this will lead to some next steps that will help. I'm glad you don't have to wait too long for your follow up and hopefully you get better news than you are expecting.

@virginiaham Bacon potato soup sounds soooo good.

@writeress Isn't it sad how exciting EWCM is??

@beary67 I love feeling super sore after a hard workout--at least you know you're getting your money's worth with the trainer! And why the celery?? That's a new one!

@monalisaralphio Sorry you're feeling down about TTC. I totally know the feeling--I think I O'd a couple days ago so I caught myself feeling a little excited about the possibilities and then brought myself back down to earth. Its like...why should I even feel hopeful when all the information I have (i.e., 7 failed cycles with great timing) logically means we won't be successful.

@snobunniemel Sorry about the frustration with your OB--that's the last thing you need right now!

@mamamunn Woo hoo for good SA results!

@moosette113 I was going to say sorry about CD1 but...looks like you are pretty happy about it! It is so interesting when your temps can tell you what is happening with your body, ha.

@20T looove the nemo gif!

@mrsdee15 Ugh sorry about the frustration with O.

@thejerilu I hate when I forget to set the meat out...it usually ends in fast food.

@lisswastaken I lolled at your DH's tactics this mornings.

@hunnybunny17 So sorry you're back here. :-(

@mommyforthefirsttime pregnancy dreams are SO weird (and disappointing when you wake up). I actually had a dream that I had a new born baby last night buuuut the baby had teeth (Twilight style) and the teeth were all rotting and falling out, so it was really just kind of creepy...
