Re: WTO Saturday
In other news, I'm going to try to enjoy this holiday weekend as much as possible, since I will be busy at work for the next month and the next scheduled day off is DS's bday in July (I ALWAYS take that day off).
I would be an elephant. They are so smart and majestic. I'm completely obsessed. I've started collecting all things elephant to put in the future baby's nursery. I have an elephant ring that I wear everyday. I love elephants.

my initial response is Panther. But then I think bird because they can go where they want
@sarah0985 glad you're feeling better!
@krys I bet the whiskey is delicious! My H loves trying spirits from all over.
@kristenh88 sounds like you had a fun evening! Hope your H came to bed soon after you posted
Month/Cycle: 6
CD: 7
R/R/CS: I'm up early because anytime H has to work I get up with him. It's frustrating he can't get up without prodding and coffee from me. Just having my coffee now, then I'm going to do the dishes, go to the gym, and meet up with a friend for some shopping for a baby shower coming up.
GTKY: I'd be a house cat lol. I saw my cat rolling around in the sunshine yesterday and he looked so relaxed and happy. So yeah not the most sophisticated choice but I'm sticking with it!
youre a nicer wife than me. If my husband works on a day that I don't, he's lucky to get a coherent "love you" as he kisses me good bye.
Month/Cycle: 9/9
WAYDTGKU: right now, pnv's, baby aspirin, vitamin D until AF leaves..
i think I would be a monkey. Only bc we just recently went to the zoo and the monkey was just having so much fun and didn't seem to have a care in the world.
@sarah0985 I'm glad you are feeling better finally!!
@krys I love a good bottle of whiskey! Hope OH enjoys it!
@SandwichLover I'm up too unnecessarily lol. OH is soooo loud when he gets up for work. Prob is, he thinks he's as quiet as a mouse...nope. He wakes up DS and I every time.

@Buthayna I just looked at your last post on yesterday's thread. I am inclined to think you O'd CD 17. The coverline makes more sense, but I guess you'll just have to wait and see what your temps do tomorrow.
WAYDTGKU: CM, sex
*Question about FF* If I am only tracking CM, does FF give me an O date? I've seen people who aren't temping get an O date, but idk if you need to be tracking something like OPKs as well. I tried putting in non-fertile CM for future days but nothing happened.
Other than a human? Definitely a housecat for the reasons already listed. They just seem like they live such content lives.
WAYDTGKU: PNVs, HIO when in the same state, green tea, temping, gonna do pineapple core, anything I can think of
If I don't think about food chain stuff, I would say something like an otter or seal but if I do, I actually think I would go with dog. Maybe a service dog. But really, most dogs have a pretty sweet life. Play, eat, hang out, go to dog park, go to cafe, nap, make people happy... It's a pretty good gig. It would just be even nicer to be a service dog.

WAYDTGKU: trying to temp (failed this morning), charting CM, trying to hit assumed FW
R/R/CS: nothing really...don't usually O until CD 19-20, so I'll be hanging here for a while
GTKY: my cats have it pretty darn good. But I think I'll say koala, bc they're my favorite. They get to live in Australia and sleep 20 hours a day, what's not to like.
@mrsross89 Ooo a wine tour sounds amazing! Where are you going?
Month/Cycle: 3/3
WAYDTGKU:charting, temping, taking the skinner boat to tuna town
I know it's been said a lot, but a house cat - most specifically, MY house cat. She's so lazy and happy. She gets warm laps and snuggles whenever she wants - food at her command, and the ability to run around outside as she pleases. It's got to be the best life.
Month/Cycle: 7/8

WAYDTGKU: stopped my EPO today, temping, CM and OPKS
R/R/CS: almost have a positive OPK! Hoping for one this afternoon or night. If I get one now, it'll be two days earlier than I normally get one, so hopefully O will be a few days early!
GTKY: I'd be a dog- hyper, then lazy, hyper, then lazy.

@Marley629 Sorry about CD 1, but sounds like you have lots to do this cycle. Fx you get good results moving forward.
@Britters314 I never got an O date the first cycle I inputted. Only the second once where I was temping.
@MamaMunn I hope clomid works for you!

WAYDTGKU: PNV. Whole30 (day 27 of 30), HBC (finished), Letrozole (finished Thursday), then U/S (Monday), then TI, then progesterone then we will see.
R/R/CS: So happy that AF is pretty much gone. I was soo worried it was going to be horrendous after such a long time, but it was totally bearable. Done first round of meds and go on Monday for an ultrasound. Fx for some good news.
GTKY:So hard to pick between a dog or a cat. Although cat would be so relaxing, I think I'd go with dog because of the social side of it.

In other news, I hate this heat wave. It's waaay too early for it to be this hot in the tri-state area, and none of my patients have their fans out or AC on yet (I'm a visiting nurse, so I travel to people's homes). It's no fun changing bandages or inserting a catheter with sweat dripping in my eyes.

i have 2. First is a wolf, if you have ever seen pictures of my dogs you can get that. They are loyal pack animals that love to run like me. Plus I think it's cool in a fight the female will hide under the males jaw like she is scared but really she is protecting his neck from attack. It's interesting team work.
Second I want to be a grizzly bear. They are gorgeous and the Dream life is the spend your Summers eating as much salmon as possible to then get to sleep for months. That's the life

WAYDTGKU: Temping, charting, checking cm/cervix, OPKs, advanced digital OPKs, saliva microscope, sex when possible, supplements: PNVs, vitamin E, CoQ10, fish oil and low dose apirin after O. Annnnd whatever I forgot!
So anyhow, I was checking all my fertility signs this morning and got a peak on the advanced digital OPK, a not even close to positive Wondfo OPK (they've been really light so far this cycle with no sign of being positive soon), very little CM but what was there was EWCM (though I had tons yesterday) HSO cervix and no real ferning on the saliva microscope the last couple of days. Just a very, very faint partial fern. So basically... my fertility signs aren't lining up well at all. We had already planned to try to have sex every day this weekend while DH is actually home since with him traveling so much this weekend may be all we can get till next weekend. So I'm hoping I O sometime when sex this weekend makes for good timing.
**TW: losses mentioned** But on the other hand if we have bad timing at least I don't have to worry about the possibility of another loss. I'm not sure I'm emotionally prepared for another loss right now. **End TW**

because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
@dilynne that's still 7 months in the future and you're in cycle 2, Certainly don't panic yet. I'm actually surprised your doctor said that to you so early.
@namelessaria big hugs for you!
@hanna133 Sorry about CD2 and the feels from CD1. This past cycle hit me pretty hard also. Fx your timing still works out somehow!
@britters314 I don't think it will give you CH without some other input besides CM. I don't temp and I gave up on my digi OPKs before getting a peak last month and I just did the override feature to pin an estimated O date based on my O pains, so maybe you could try it based on your fertile CM?
@NamelessAria Creepy stranger hugs for you! I can't at all imagine what you're going through and I think whenever you're able to participate, I really love "hearing" your voice. You're an awesome contributor when you are here and taking care of yourself first is 150% understandable and valid. Here's a goat in an Olaf costume!

Sorry for CD1
@meilay have you tried preseed? I can have trouble producing enough EWCM too.
@mrsdee15 congratulations on finally being able to start a new cycle!!!
@namelessaria I'm sorry you are feeling that way I totally get it. It is hard to keep up the momentum and optimism. I hope your signs line themselves up for you soon and good luck to you for this cycle.
@britters324 I'm a little bit jealous of all your EWCM...is that weird? Glad things are looking good for you though

@ahrains I've no experience with Clomid, though I did just finish my first round of Femara. They had me take it starting on day 4, which I was curious about because I had always heard to start on day 3. But because I don't O at all on my own it didn't really matter. Maybe that's the case with you as well?
@Mythril Sorry you're not feeling well! It's never fun to be sick m, let alone sick in a heat wave!
@Dilynne I'm sorry your doctor was so blunt about the process. I wouldn't start to worry yet since you're just starting out!
@babymish Boo for a waste of money on new OPK's!
@meilay That monkey gif is mesmerizing lol
@mrsdee15 Holla for CD 1! I know how awful and frustrating super long cycles are.
@NamelessAria You have a pass for not posting lately! We all completely understand and if it's been the right thing for your mental state then I'm glad you've taken the time away!
@SnobunnieMel That's really interesting about wolves! I didn't know that. I knew they were pack animals, but the tidbit about the females protecting the males necks is very cool!
@Scarlett830 Hey lady! Welcome! We all get busy, we understand!
@aammyy33 Ahhh I'm really excited because we could be TWW buddies!! I'm keeping my fx so freaking hard for your scan on Monday! I go back as well to see if my lining has thickened, and hopefully we'll schedule the IUI for Tuesday!
@MamaMunn Yay for the start of a new cycle! I'm keeping my FX the Clomid works! Can't wait for updates.
@wineo929 You're GTKY answer made me giggle!
@hezzer78 I totally understand the body image thing. I lost 30lbs before my wedding in September. I've since gained 10 of those pounds. Well, 15 but I've since lost 5. When I gained the 15 back I really hated myself. All the hard work, it came back so easily. It's definitely a fight to love my body, but I'm trying hard! Good luck, I hope you find some peace!
@delujm0 Koala's do have it good! I love me some sleep as well!
@Kiki75 Lady, that timing isn't bad at all! Sure -1 and O would have been awesome, but -2 ain't too shabby!
@britters314 Yay for EWCM!
@Buthayna Fx you O'ed with the best timing!
@MrsRoss89 Oh no, sorry DH will be out of town for possible O! But alllll the wine next month on your tour if that's the case!
@hanna133 Sorry for CD 1
@pretzel2plus1 Lazy Saturday's are the best! Hope yours was the utmost laziest lol
@leekat14 I'm not temping this cycle either. It's been nice.
