WAYDTGKU:
R/R/CS: After a two week long 'fertile week' I think I finally O'd yesterday! I had a fakeout O on Tuesday but thankfully DH and I kept HIO. That man deserves a medal for his performance these last two weeks. There were some rocky moments but we ended up with good timing even though O was about 10 days late.

GTKY: Do you consider yourself the spiritual/religious type? Or straight up empirical science-y type? Or both?
I am a science-y type. I have my moments where I think it is possible that there is a higher power, but I am very open when it comes to what that means for us as a species. Specifically I don't feel like, if there were a higher power, they would dictate so specifically the way we were and were not allowed to live our lives. Especially if we were created to be who we are by them. Most of the time I only ponder it when I consider sort of the vastness of the universe we live in and how it came to *be*. DH and I are very similar in that though he did grow up Catholic and tends to be more spiritual than I am.

WAYDTGKU: Waiting out AF
R/R/CS: I decided that I am not going to attempt temping while on vacation in Las Vegas. Mainly because I feel like the drinking and lack of sleep will make it pointless. I'll pick it back up when I get back home, which will be CD9. I usually start my OPKs on CD10, and don't ovulate until CD16-18, so hopefully that's enough time to see a clear shift.
GTKY: Do you consider yourself the spiritual/religious type? Or straight up empirical science-y type? Or both?
I'm not religious at all.

@monalisaralphio glad you're feeling good today
Month/cycle: 11/10
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: acupuncture, chiropractic, whole30 diet + the usual
R/R/CS: I hit the 11 month mark today. But I'm okay with that. Also, I started researching baby carriers bc I'm going to be taking care of my friends baby in the fall when she goes back to work (she is due in June). I got pretty excited to have a real reason to do that research haha.
GTKY: I am a Christ follower.
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: PNV+, BBT, CM, GDTPT but not really.
R/R/CS: Back in the day, the last time I was chatting I would O around CD 10, so I figure it's time for us to start going at it. We're in NOLA this weekend and by the time we get back at the end of the day we are both so exhausted there has been no lovin'.
*Possibly stupid question: If I drank last night, would I flag it when I put my temp in this morning, or do I out it in with yesterday's temp?

GTKY: Do you consider yourself the spiritual/religious type? Or straight up empirical science-y type? Or both?
I believe in God.
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: Have red raspberry leaf tea and vitamins.
R/R/CS: No charting, temping, or opk this month. Just going to ''wing it'' and keep things as stress free as possible.
GTKY: Do you consider yourself the spiritual/religious type? Or straight up empirical science-y type? Or both?
Yes, I am religious.

R/R/CS: So I was annoyed yesterday when I woke up and my LH test was lighter than the night before, but it got darker throughout the day and it's positive today so that all worked out

GTKY: Do you consider yourself the spiritual/religious type? Or straight up empirical science-y type? Or both?
I am 99.9% science and .1% spiritual. The only spiritual type thing I believe in is chakras.

I don't know where I should be posting... I was over in TWW but I think I had an O fakeout. I'm not temping this cycle so of course this is the one with weird stuff going on.
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,
because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: OPKs, sex EOD for now then ED in FW (which hopefully starts tomorrow)
R/R/CS: Had too much fun last night at the bar and I'm paying for it today. My stomach won't be still.
*Stolen from TWW*
GTKY: Do you consider yourself the spiritual/religious type? Or straight up empirical science-y type? Or both?
More on the spiritual side. I believe in God. Thankfully DH is the same way though we were both raised under specific religions.
CD:5
WAYDTGKU: usual stuff
R/R/CS: Hi everyone. I was feeling really down at the start of this cycle. Now that AF is almost gone I'm starting to get a little excited about being able to try again so finally felt like posting again.
GTKY: Do you consider yourself the spiritual/religious type? Or straight up empirical science-y type? Or both? Both. I believe in a higher power just based on personal experiences alone. I am also in the medical field so of course I believe in science but I think God is the ultimate scientist and what we know now is only a fraction of what He knows.

GOT!! I'm pumped, but we probably won't get to watch it until next weekend because I'm working out of town most of the week.
@AliciaGoose Glad you still ended up with good timing. Fx you did O!
@Lecool Enjoy Las Vegas! I've always wanted to go!
@FrancesGrace630 Sorry about month 11! Sounds like you have something to keep your mind off of it.
@stardust317 Drinking can affect temps the next morning, so make a note of it.
@krisnicole23 Enjoy winging it, sounds a lot less stressful. I didn't last very long.
@Antoto Yay for the +ve Opk!
@Ladymillil Hope your headache is gone for good now!
@meilay Hope the hang over was worth it and doesn't last too long.
@safire3 Glad you are starting to feel better about things. Fx this is your month! P.S. It looks like we started TTC at a similar time. I just find it so crazy that you are on cycle 5 and I'm still on cycle 1! My body needs to get it together! (This is not a reflection on you or your journey so far, just an observation!)
Month/cycle: 5/1

WAYDTGKU: PNV, back to HIO because IDGAF anymore.
R/R/CS: So 10 days later, I still have dotted CH's. I get that they are not correct but it's frustrating that they are still there. I really liked the thread on Friday about everyone's cycles, temps etc. From reading it, it seems like all my temp are pretty low and the shift I did have really doesn't mean anything or may even just be due to me getting into a more consistent temping routine. I took an OPK yesterday. Not sure why, it was definitely negative. Also continuing with my weekly HPTs. Feeling blah today. I added my chart but I don't really have any questions regarding it. Just generally confused by it. Time to go browse annovulatory cycles on FF.
GTKY: I'm agnostic.

Don't believe in a higher power myself, but I believe there's lots of schtuff we don't understand at this time. Sciencey, but not a jerk about it. For instance, I think ghosts/angels are something, but we just can't explain it at this time.

And it's really my best cause H doesn't want to know specificd. Doesn't want this to be a stressful thing... I get it, but sometimes it feels like it's all on me. Sigh

GTKY: Do you consider yourself the spiritual/religious type? Or straight up empirical science-y type? Or both?
Both. I believe in and follow God, and He made it all. We learn it as science, but there's so much we don't understand.

*Stolen from TWW*
GTKY: Do you consider yourself the spiritual/religious type? Or straight up empirical science-y type? Or both?
I'd say both but I question everything.
Mine was a jerk in a similar manner last month! It kept changing my crosshairs on me every day (I don't temp), so I just kind of awkwardly kept my TWW DPO at 1 for a few days.

@Renee1105 I'm not sure but that's exactly what I did this month so we'll find out. I needed a break so I started today at CD 5. Looking at my chart from last month I think that'll be enough time to establish a baseline.
Month/Cycle: 5
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: arguing with H mainly ugh.
R/R/CS: I just can't get along with H this weekend, it's doing my head in, I had a shitty couple days at work, AF is on the way out after a chemical, which has basically just been 4 days of spotting, I have no idea what's going on, I'm over DH's casual attitude to everything and I'm actually starting to feel slightly suicidal... Can't wait till I can book a doctors appointment tomorrow.

@AliciaGoose Yay for O! I know you've been having a rough week, so I'm so happy to hear you've finally gotten to O!
@Lecool Have fun in Las Vegas!
@antoto and @TheJerilu Congrats on the positive OPK! FX for O soon!
@LittleChick2 Sorry you're having a sucky day. I hope it gets better and that your awful customer stays away!
@Renee1105 I don't temp during AF, and I think most of the ladies here don't either. Totally personal preference, though, but it shouldn't mess up your chart at all. My temps are all over the place during AF, so I don't record them anymore because it makes my chart look so messy. Chart vanity, definitely.
@PartiallyDomesticated Sorry you and your H are on the outs with each other this weekend, and I'm so so sorry for your loss. Please take care of yourself.

@PartiallyDomesticatedI'm so sorry, I can't imagine what you're going through right now. Please tell your doctor what you're feeling. Hugs to you.
i also promise I'd never act on the thoughts, I have too much to live for, but the thoughts keep
creeping in more and more often.
I just need a break from life really, but it won't happen because work have denied my time off (I gave them a month notice, more than they wanted, and I had made plans) the girl they've just hired is/was my ex's best friend who supported him after he put me in hospital. She likes to rub it in while I'm on with her, and being more senior I had to have a chat with her about things she wasn't doing properly and she basically attacked me telling me I was wrong.
I think it's contributing to a lot of it, we don't need the money from me working and I want to quit and try and find something else, but DH doesn't want me to, he likes the extra income, but I've now worked through 2 miscarriages on the day they've happened, I've been throwing up for my whole shift, had migraine so bad I couldn't see, I've asked for help and been denied it, Now the new girl they've put on is almost giving me PTSD style flashbacks. I just can't deal with it anymore, if I go in Tuesday and they haven't rectified my time off I don't think I'll be going back.
Sorry i didnt mean for this to turn into a huge rant, but I feel slightly better now.

WAYDTGKU: temping and right now mostly eating all the chocolate
R/R/CS: CD 2, so not much happening. Just almost bleeding to death is all. April 24th has been the day I have somewhat arbitrarily been counting down to in my head for almost a year now. It was just the first day we could get pregnant based on the due date and knowing for sure DH would be done with school next month. It is so bizarre that it is finally that day. So, here we are officially trying.
*Stolen from TWW*
GTKY: Do you consider yourself the spiritual/religious type? Or straight up empirical science-y type? Or both?
I am a Christian and have been since I was very young. It is the most important part of my life and also the best part. I also think science is awesome, but we will never even know close to all that there is to know.

Extra income is lovely, but not at the expense of your mental well being. I think you should have a sit down with your H about effect your work situation is having on you. I'm sure he can't be ok with where your thoughts are going. I agree with you that if you can't get time you need from work, there is something else out there. Anything else at that point.

*TW loss mentioned*
I used to be very religious. I teach Sunday School and actively participate in mass. However, it has been so difficult going to church and seeing everyone pregnant and expanding their families. I'm seriously considering taking a break. I still hold my beliefs but I'm still angry about my MC and the whole process thus far.
