    @Marley629 - Ugh. Sending you hugs. Hang in there. The upside is that you're on top of this, and have an RE appointment and not just flying blind.

    @Marley629 ((((hugs))) omg, I'm so sorry to get that kind of news.  I don't have enough experience to know exactly what that means, or how right (or wrong) the doctors may be about your ability to conceive somewhat naturally.  We are the same age though, and I'm telling you, my heart goes out to you so hard.<strong>

    Cycle</strong>: 23 Temping / 6 NTNP / 8 TTC

    <b>CD: 10</b>

    <b>WAYDTGKU: First cycle on Ovaboost, second on FertileCM and my normally CD14/15 O's have moved up to CD13 last cycle and Peak smiley today at CD10.  If anyone is hoping to shorten their long cycles, I would strongly suggest looking into Ovaboost and/or FertilAid and FertileCM.</b>  They have a line of men's products, too, we haven't tried yet, but if they are anything like the other ones, I totally would try them myself.  (DH has not had SA yet, so I wouldn't know if MotilityBoost or CountBoost etc. whatever else they have would be the best fit, but for those of you who have had SA and know what aspect your SO may want to improve, I would say their stuff is worth a shot!)  First cycle of 100mg Progesterone starts 3-12DPO, and will ask the doc to go ahead and give me the amoxicillin script, too, if we are not KU this cycle.

    <b>R/R/CS</b>: Anyone else noticing that green bar where FF thinks my FW is supposed to be?  Uhm... I'm just glad I was able to get DH on board with jumping on this whole thing so we didn't totally miss the party, cos even he was like, "why is it coming up so fast!?!?!"  I have read anecdotal evidence of Ovaboost moving O up a bit for people, but I've also heard accounts of bodies gearing up for O and having a false start, and then O-ing later, so we'll have to see if this is legit.  Cos right now, I still think it's cray.

    <b>GTKY: What's the best concert/show you've ever been to?
    </b>I saw Radiohead outdoors - I think it was at Blossom music center.  Mostly what I remember is the lawn and the magic in the air.  That is probably my favourite concert venue, tho, too.

    @GrabberBlue2010 Congrats on the weight loss!  And props on taking a quality mental health day, too. :)  I haven't updated the weight loss board yet - but today is Wednesday!  I totally forgot that is my weigh-in day, so I'm down 5 lbs, too (but that first week of water weight comes off easier than the rest of it.)  It's a good feeling tho to be moving in the right direction, right!?

    @PepperAT  Hey! That is a relief - you can totally make s'mores in the backyard, though, right?  Do you have a firepit?  Then you get the best of both worlds, including peeing on things in the comfort of your own home! lol  (and glad I think it sounds like you guys made the decision in time not to lose your deposit, right?)

    @BusinessWife - I might need to check those things out. I only have 2 months of charted data to work off of at this point, but last cycle, O was predicted (I wasn't temping, so don't know for certain) around CD16. I'm on CD17 now with no peak reading yet (but my secondary signs say it should be any time now). That, and my luteal phase was pretty short last cycle (8 days), so i'm a little anxious to see how that looks this cycle. I'm trying not to go too far over the edge since I was on BC for so long and this is only month 2 off of it and I know things will just be wonky anyway.

  • @Schumerator Nope!  I actually just got them on Amazon!  I started with FertileCM b/c CM, but then I saw other people taking Ovaboost and thought I would add that, too.  I'm sure you could start with that, tho, or with a combo, whatever you prefer.  I just wanted to add one thing at a time to see what made a difference.  I had been drinking the Fertilitea for a while here and no dice.  So that was the next natural progression for me to try the FertileCM.  Some people have had luck with EPO, but I'm also of the opinion that it may be strong enough and have enough other effects (including delaying o?) that I didn't want to try that until I had tried other things first.

    @Krys Coming off BC will be a rollercoaster no matter what, and it's still early days, so honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about it, but of course you're welcome to try anything you feel might be a good fit for your situation.  Your body will still be regulating for a while, and really, a short LP is more something you'd want to see settle itself over the course of several cycles before worrying too much about exactly when you're O-ing.  Anywhere from 15-18 is all still totally normal.  Some women have to wait into the 20+ days for O (also normal), but they still then have a double-digit LP after that.  I would say as long as you are on PNVs and DHA, Co-Q10 maybe and/or Zinc, I wouldn't worry too much about spending the money on extra fertility-specific supplements just yet.  IMHO
  • @momtoleo I would LOVE to see the boss! Super jealous.

    @Marley629 Sorry to hear about your blood work results. Hugs to you.

    @GrabberBlue2010 Congrats on the weight loss! Glad to hear you're in a better place!

    Cycle
    : 8/5 TTCAL 

    CD: 20

    WAYDTGKU: Metformin, PNV's, OPK's, CM, CP, HIO

    R/R/CS: Still waiting for O and I'm starting to get impatient. I'm sick of peeing on stuff at work. However I had a huge temp drop this morning so maybe I experienced the elusive pre-o drop?! 

    GTKY: This is a tough GTKY! I've been to so many shows/concerts it's hard to pick just one. I think I have to go with seeing High on Fire in NYC fo' free! It was a spur of the moment decision DH and I made to road trip it there and I was a total fan girl the entire time.  :#

    @linzrunz Yay!  So glad you had such an awesome afternoon at the pool + no sunburn = Winning!  And checking out your cafe after all this time sounds like a blast too, like an episode of Cheers!  lol  If it makes you feel any better, I am tired today too, and I don't know where my burst of AM energy came from yesterday, but it was short-lived. :P

    ETA <span class="vanilla-mention-@">@EALasagna45 </span>Yay for temp dips!!!  FX for O very soon.... :)

    R/R/CS:  I'm going to Costco unsupervised tonight. Might spend all our money, who knows. Question: When you're looking at the legend on FF it has solid boxes for actual fertile days and actual ovulation days. Does it calculate that based on temp and CM alone? Like, how does it know?

    GTKY: What's the best concert/show you've ever been to? 12 year old me would say the Backstreet Boys concert. 25 year old me says that Queen ft. Adam Lambert was actually super sick. Best concert ever.

    GTKY: What's the best concert/show you've ever been to? I really loved the Avett Brothers - went to see them a few years in a row.  Would definitely recommend.  

  • Month/Cycle: 8/7 total (3/3 TTCAL)

    CD: 16

    WAYDTGKU: Temping. CM. HIO at least EOD (failing at this)

    R/R/CS: I'm about 2-3 days into my fertile window and we haven't even HIO! We really need to step up our game.

    My new manager starts today, but my old manager is sticking around until 6/30. I also applied and interviewed for my managers position, but got passed over for this new lady. The higher up managers told me that it was a tough pick, but since I didn't have any manager or leadership experience, they decided to go with someone else. I'm interested to see who this person is, but nervous for the change of management.

    GTKY: What's the best concert/show you've ever been to?

    I haven't been to many concerts. I'd have to go with Carrie Underwood. Her voice is just so raw and powerful. I've been to 2 of her concerts.

    @Dilynne I think it goes based on previous stats, including CM and O-dates and overall cycle lengths, but for me, it seems I can't put too much stock in what FF's guess will be...

    @MamaMunn  GL at your scan tomorrow!!!!  So excited for you and hope you get to trigger soon, too FX

    @antoto OMG  all the chocolate and tea to you, sister ((hugs))

    @linzrunz it's crazy cos that is so not my thing, but apparently DH is even worse than me at getting out of bed, so that has become my thing during the week, I get up and let the dogs out, get the coffee going, tell him a million times to have a sip of coffee while making his lunch lol  But then on Saturdays, somehow he has the energy to bring me my tea in bed.  Go figure.

    @jatwal128  FX for that temp rise and great timing!!! :D

    *E to fix tag.
  • <span class="vanilla-mention-@">@KirstinH88 </span>Ugh, I'm so sorry about getting passed over on the promotion, but hopefully who they did pick will work out, and given enough time they will give you a shot at moving up, too (hugs)

    @felix08 omg I would be kind of freaking out too.  Is there any reason you can't just leave it open with a minimum balance just sitting there, like for a rainy day?  Even if you don't really use it as your day-to-day account?  There is something to be said for being a long-time account holder...
  • @Marley629 Big T + P for you, dear!  
    @GrabberBlue2010 I am happy that you are happier, lady <3 Also, you are an inspiration to those of us in TB weight loss challenge!
    @BusinessWife Dumbo question, but the FW squares on your FF...do you have the VIP app or the reg?  I don't have that on my chart but it *is* just my first month temping so I don't even know.


    @pepperAT AHH hahaha gif lol

    R/R/CS: There's leftovers from yesterday's work pot luck and I SWEAR they have little voices calling out to me from the fridge!  But I need to be accountable because I have to weigh in soon for TB weight challenge.  Damn you, carbs and cream cheese-based dips...

    GTKY: What's the best concert/show you've ever been to? H and I have been huge Widespread Panic fans all through our marriage and have traveled all over to see shows.  They were amazing for our 20s and 30s but I'm have no desire to be "on the floor" in the middle of that anymore.  Paul Simon at Hangout a few years ago was the bomb...the sun was setting on the beach as he played. St. Paul & the Broken Bones, Alabama Shakes, Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson have all been impressive shows, too!

    @antoto I saw the Avett Brothers last summer and they were awesome!

    @Krys I made the same mistake with the JT concert. Def won't make the same mistake twice!! 


  • edited June 2016
    @Smcgeever  Yea, that is what most people do, is set a temping alarm.  I set one softer on my phone so it doesn't have to be too disruptive, and then my second alarm is louder and I set for my real wake-up time, which can vary from day to day.  5-15, MAYBE 20 minutes, not such a big deal, but in my experience 30 min one way or the other is definitely enough to make it tougher for FF to interpret.

    @ahrains Yes, I do have VIP (you can watch for specials on twitter and FB, I think), but that may well be a standard feature, once you have previous data in there for it to draw on.  I had been logging on paper for a LONG time before I started FF, so I was actually able to go back and enter previous data to give it something more to go on.

    ETA I am loving everyone's gif's today!!!  If anyone needs me, I'll be over here trying to adult/getting back to actual work....

  • @businesswife I meant to say yesterday! I got my mornings all confused. I think I O'd yesterday with a temp dip, eggwhites, and a positive OPK. Hanging out here another day just to be sure. Oh we will definitely HIO tonight just in case I am wrong.

  • @BusinessWife your morning routine sounds a lot like mine! I wake up, let the dog out, let DH know that i'm getting up (because he says he wants to also), go work out, but then i get home and he's still sleeping. So I remind him to wake up, shower, remind him to get up, make our lunches, remind him to wake up, feed the dog, take the dog out again, and somewhere in there he's finally gotten his butt out of bed. lol i get so frustrated sometimes but when i really think about it i just have to laugh
