Trying to Get Pregnant

WTO Tuesday

Re: WTO Tuesday

  • I'm officially done with my Nuvaring and just waiting for my period. Well, I'm waiting for that fake period that happens during birth control. Anyway, I'm trying to get in the habit of checking my basal body temperature in the mornings, but I'm having some issues. I tend to wake up in the night, and I'm not sure when the best time is to take my temp. This morning, I woke up at 3am from an unsettling dream. (I've always had vivid dreams, and they do often wake me.) My alarm goes off at 5:30am. Would it be better to check my temp when I wake in the middle of th night, since I've already had 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep, or is it better to sleep those next two and a half hours and then temp? I don't know if the "three hours of sleep" rule or the "same time every day rule" is more important. 

    Thanks for for all the help you guys keep giving.

    @furbabymom2007 I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions.... how long have you been taking inositol?  Did you get it prescribed or recommended to take it?  Have you seen it benefit you at all?  I've read about it but never talked to anyone about it so I'm curious your experience with it. Thanks :)
    Don't mind at all!  My RE told me to take it last week and I have been taking it all of 4 or 5 days so I don't know about any benefits as of yet (ask me in a week or two!) They gave me a sample and told me to ether order the same stuff or see if my pharmacy carries it (they don't).  The one they gave me comes in powder form and rice a day you mix it into a drink and down the hatch it goes.  It is completely tasteless so I just mix with water and don't even notice.  I just ordered the same one they gave me so there is no question I got the right stuff. The stuff I got is called Ovasitol from a company called theralogix. It just supposed to promote hormone function and improve the way the bodies uses insulin (all good for ovarian function) .  

    I think the RE mentioned that it can help treat some symptoms of PCOs but it can't be taken with metaformin because both meds Impact insulin levels.  I would ask your doc about it if you think it may help!

    R/R/CS: Some bonehead hit the front of my car without me knowing and didn't leave a note or anything.  I noticed it when I was coming out of Walmart but I don't know if it happened then while I was grocery shopping or on another day and I'm just noticing it now.  I'm so pissed and trying not to cry about it for the third time since I saw it.


    GTKY: What's your Favorite meal? Do you have a recipe to share??  I love making stuffed green bell peppers.  Use ground turkey, couscous, and a white cheese.  Cook each thing separate and then mix all of that together and stuff into the bell peppers.  Top with a thin layer of white cheese and put in the oven until the cheese melts and bell peppers soften.

    R/R/CS: I'm so tired of peeing on OPK already, twice a day since CD10 hoping I'll O earlier this month and don't want to miss it. On a happier note, I'm halfway through my work week and the weather is looking good for the rest of the week!

    GTKY: What's your Favorite meal? Do you have a recipe to share?? Sourdough pancakes, mac and cheese, tuna noodles casserole are all favorites since I was little.
  • I bled for 3-ish days after my HSG. I bled for the rest of the day with iui #1 and a tiny bit of spotting the next day. I had a tiny bit of spotting when I wiped off the lube after iui #2. Definitely bring a pad with you for the iui and keep some in you bag for a few days after. @mrsdaddario
  • @Lecool my favorite part about this picture is the "glitter" billboard behind you hahahah "glitter spot located below." I just almost cried laughing...hoping you are having plenty of fun with H!!!!!!!!!!!

    @hunnybunny17 Glad you get to keep your DH this week, enjoy!

    @Mylitta I joined the fitness check-in, woohoo!! Hope you enjoyed your day off.

    @krisnicole23 I am SO sorry to hear about your car. That is not cool; I’m hoping it is an easy fix. Those stuffed peppers sound heavenly!

    @Lecool omg I did NOT NOTICE the “ Glitter Spot ” sign until @Zoey1019 pointed it out, haha! That is amazing and hilarious--good marketing. Looks like you are having a great time, continue to enjoy!

    @LittleChick2 Glad to hear the weather sounds like it’s going to be nice for the rest of the week, enjoy!

    @bfhensen So glad that everything looked great on your HSG, but I understand about it being a bittersweet result. Fingers crossed for you too!

    @Norperfectbutworthit Hoping for good news from your toddler’s 2 year check up!

    Hope y’all have a wonderful rest of your Tuesday!

    WAYDTGKU: temp, OPKs, and HIO

    R/R/CS: Got a positive OPK last night and temps are rising, so I should be ovulating soon! I'm always excited to move onto the TWW--even though once I'm there it feels like slow torture lol. 

    Kind of weird, but I've been so nauseous today. Idk if it's related to incoming O, but it sucks. Can't wait to get home from work and rest.

    GTKY: What's your Favorite meal? Do you have a recipe to share?? Weirdly, SO and I were just talking about this lol. Mine is probably just a good steak with mashed potatoes or something. I don't have any recipes though, as I'm an awful cook and don't do it often lol.

    WAYDTGKU: PNV, Fish Oil, Green Tea, GDTPT, the usual.

    R/R/CS: Rant - I'm just plain crabby today. I have a bad case of the "I hate everyone's" today. I don't even have a specific reason for it, really.  Rave - I went grocery shopping over lunch and I was going to buy a sandwich or something there but then they had sandwich samples so I ended up getting lunch for free!

    GTKY: What's your Favorite meal? Do you have a recipe to share??
    I love seafood so really most things with crab. But if the goal is to share ideas, www.budgetbytes.com is where it's at. I've made a number of things from that site (chipotle chicken soup, Greek chicken, peanut chicken, pastalaya, orzo something chicken) and I've liked them all. Tonight I'm going to make the bbq chicken bowls.

    WAYDTGKU: PNV and OPK when the time comes.

    R/R/CS: My period was only 3 days! So weird but I'll take it!

    GTKY: We have been on a salmon kick lately. I like to put olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and a lemon slice on it and bake. So simple, but so good.

    WAYDTGKU: 
    Charting, PNV, EPO, B6, Mucinex, OPK, all the filthy hotel sex

    R/R/CS: 
    Tonight after work I head over to where OH is working to start all the filthy hotel sex.  Tomorrow while he works, I will do whatever I feel like, which is probably hiking somewhere pretty.  Then I'll stay again tomorrow night, and drive directly to work on Thursday.  It's the best we can do given the circumstances, and I'm grateful that I have the ability to take off of work to FWP.

    GTKY:
      I have lots of favorites, but one easy one that is delicious is crockpot chicken and dumplings.  All you have to do it cut up an onion, put it in the bottom, add four chicken breasts, two cans of cream of chicken soup, and water to cover.  Cook on high for four + hours.  Add two packages of Grands Biscuits, pulled apart, in the last 30 minutes of cooking.  Yummy!!

  • *TW: MC*

    Hi, I'm new here! I just posted on the intro board and now this is my first post in the WTO. 

    Month/Cycle: 1/1 TTCAL

    CD: 12

    WAYDTGKU: PNV, BBT, HIO ED starting today

    R/R/CS: Nothing right now. I'm just hoping I will O soon and have a normal cycle after my MC. 

    GTKY: What's your Favorite meal? Do you have a recipe to share?? I can't think of a specific favorite meal but I like anything with noodles or potatoes.

  • I am newer too...I am actually waiting for AF to arrive so that I can begin my first cycle TTC.  But I want to join in so I can start "meeting" everyone :)

    Month/Cycle: 1

    CD: -2 most likely, lol

    WAYDTGKU: Going to start with PNV, lots of sex and maybe some CM checking . At least for the first couple months since I am just coming off of birth control

    R/R/CS: Rant: I currently have a stomach bug, which wouldn't irritate me so much except that I seem to get sick literally every month with SOMETHING.  I actually still have a muscle tear from the last illness, which included violent coughing.  I feel like a senior citizen. 

    GTKY: What's your Favorite meal? Do you have a recipe to share??  Honestly, I have the palate of a 4 year old, so plain old spaghetti and tomato sauce is my favourite *sheepish look*
