WAYDTGKU: OPKs, PNV, Temping
R/R/CS: Still clinging on! No crazy pre-O drop, temps holding steady...just a few more days, body! I was totally exhausted yesterday. I think I crashed at like, 7:30.
GTKY: Have you always wanted children, or were you on the fence and had that switch flipped one day? I am somewhere between the two ends. My fondest memories have always been of being a kid, and I had an awesome childhood. When I'd think of having kids, I was always afraid that I wouldn't measure up in giving them the same. I've always also struggled with the idea of day care and knowing I'd be going back to work, this held me back for a long time. I had a lot of "fears" that really were more like excuses, so we just always said we weren't having kids. Deep down, we both definitely wanted them. When we got our first house, we definitely weren't financially ready to add that into the mix, so we waited. Then when we were financially good, we didn't want to be in the city our house was because of the schools. So then we waited some more. We move a year ago May, and then finally decided to go for it a few months ago. I'm not sure how I feel now about waiting for all the stars to align (now the thought of, if this happens soon-ish, I'll be 40 when my child is starting kindergarten - overwhelming and hard to digest!), but I don't think either of us were fully ready earlier.

@Krys - you are on the ball darling! And Keeping my FX that O delays for you!!!
I totally get where you are coming from in your GTKY. We always want what is best for our kids future and to give them a better life than we had. Even if our childhood was great. I am with ya chica.

WAYDTGKU: Nada
R/R/CS: Another temp drop this morning. So I may or may not have thrown my thermometer a little bit.
I did go pick it up and apologize to it though. I know its not its fault that my body in an ass.
I had blueberry muffins for dinner last night. Followed by sour patch kids for dessert. So much for eating healthy! ha!
Other than that not much to report. I feel like I am forgetting something, so I may be back.
GTKY:
From 18 to about 22ish I was dead set against having kids. But then things started to change when ex H and I bought a house and were getting married. I have wanted kids ever since. There was a brief period in time when my last marriage was starting to fail that I thought there was no way in hell I would ever want to bring another life into this world, knowing what kind of shitty people are in it, and I would never want my child to go through the same things.
But then I divorced and met DH. And I have never wanted kids more in my life. Having a partner that you KNOW will help you raise your children to be amazing people and will do whatever it takes to give them the best life possible is incredible and makes me want to have a family. Like @Krys said, I want to be financially secure and in most ways I/we are. We have a house and have a lot going for us. Even if times get rough I know we would be able to pull through just fine and it not impact the upbringing of little ones.

WAYDTGKU: drinking tea, temping, CM, CP, will start OPKs this weekend
R/R/CS: Life has definitely gotten the better of me the last few weeks, and I've had like no bump time! Anyway, I'm excited for the three-day weekend!
GTKY: definitely in the "switch flipped" camp. I was adamantly against having kids for the longest time, and then once H and I had been married for a couple of years and were stable, all of a sudden I wanted them really badly. We didn't start trying until last year because of financial reasons.

R/R/CS:
Ugh...4 days of brown spotting which I've never had, accompanied by AF starting 3 days early. This is going to be a hell of a week. I feel like puking, my stomach is in knots, and I feel like someone stabbed daggers into my kidneys. Work is going to suck today and I apologize in advance for any potential bitchiness. I'll try to scale it back but I just feel miserable. Even norcos aren't helping. This is a particularly hellish AF.
GTKY: Have you always wanted children, or were you on the fence and had that switch flipped one day?
I have always wanted children since the day my sister was born almost 13 years ago. I had a huge part in raising her since my parents worked a lot and my mom got sick when she was just a few years old. Everyone in my family expected that to deter me from wanting to have kids, but it's all I've ever wanted. My dream life was always to have a stable job, a cozy home, and a loving family. Boring I know.

*TW*
My sister is 19 weeks pregnant today and she sent me the first picture of her little bump yesterday! I cried tears of joy! She and her husband tried for a year before seeing an RE and getting pregnant on the first round of Letrozole. I feel like knowing that is pressuring me for this to work since it worked for her. I know that's dumb logic but I still feel it and it makes me nervous along with excited! So many emotions throughout this haha
GTKY: I have always wanted a huge family! I would have been happy starting a family at 18 if I could... But since you kiiiind of need a man (or some of the man) for the other half, I had to wait haha
@daisy621 - good luck with your follie scan!

WAYDTGKU: waiting for a fricken +OPK. See RRCS
R/R/CS: Super frustrated. While I don't have a ton of data, cycle 1 I ovulated at day 15 and cycle 2 I ovulated at day 13. Both of those cycles I had a pretty progression of OPK (used dollar store brand). This cycle I've got nothing. I'm using wondfo's and have had about a 50% line every day since CD 9. I've had EWCM for the past 3 days but OPKs still sucky. Did have a temp drop today so maybe that's a sign of something coming. The only thing different this cycle is daily green tea and RRL. Anyone have experience with this postponing O? I know I've gotta be grateful that I have had two "normal" cycles, but ugh I was just about to get confident in my cycles.

WAYDTGKU: IUI today
R/R/CS: I'm nervous AF (and that does not stand for aunt flow). DH's appointment was at 8:15 this morning, mine is at 9:45. I STILL have not heard from him yet. I'm getting worried that he might not be able to....ahem....fulfill his task. Last time he had a 7:15 appointment and he was out by 7:45. That included time waiting in the waiting room. So it's freaking me out that it's been almost an hour since he got there, and I still haven't heard anything. If he can't do his thing, I obviously cannot get the IUI. I just hope I hear from him soon, and that this cycle isn't a total bust.
ETA: All is well. I repeat, all is well lol. He texted me the minute I hit post comment. He didn't even get called until 8:45. PHEW. I thought I was gonna vom for a second there for nerves!
GTKY: Have you always wanted children, or were you on the fence and had that switch flipped one day?
I've always wanted children. I've always known I wanted children. I played with dolls, loved being around babies. My mom said even at like, 3 years old I was in love with babies and wanted to be around them whenever I could.
@mrsdaddario FX for you – so glad things are looking good!
@krys I think it’s soo much better to wait until you’re ready. Rushing kids is not something you should do!
@grabberblue2010 Is that gorilla throwing poo?? That’s awesome. And I have to admit, at this point in my whole30, I’m really jelly of your blueberry muffin dinner.
@nwegman7878 Sorry to hear AF is being such a bish. Hope you feel better soon!
@daisy621 FX for your follicle scan!
@mrsdaddario Yay for DH’s appointment working out! I know that must have been stressful
Cycle/Month: 4/4

WAYDTGKU: Charting, temping, opks
R/R/CS: Nothing TTC wise - temps looked ok today, but I actually got sleep cuz DH is out of town. He gets back tomorrow. I guess we should start bangin' just to be on the safe side. Pretty sure I O'd on CD17 last month, so might as well get this party started.
I have an orthopedic dr appt today for my elbow. About 6 years ago I fell at the gym and snapped it, so had to have surgery and a screw put in. The past couple of weeks its been giving me some pain and my hand has been weirdly falling asleep. It's probably nothing and I'm probably overexaggerating everything, but I wanna go get it checked out just in case.
GTKY: Have you always wanted children, or were you on the fence and had that switch flipped one day?
It hasn't really been a switch, per se. More like a dimmer light that just slowly gets brighter.
My mom passed away when I was 15 from ovarian cancer. Being the only other female in the family, I was really worried for a long time. I think having a parent leave you that soon (with 3 younger bros) is really imprinting. I didn't want that to happen to my kids or family so I avoided the 'kids' discussion for a long time. Right about the time I would have wanted to think about it, my gyn discovered I had a bicornuate uterus. We discussed it and the way she spoke, it sounded like it would be a very difficult pregnancy. I would have to be on bed rest the whole time, couldn't work, etc. I trusted her so I just kind of shrugged and said "Ah well. Can't do that." Years later, I go to a different gyn and I tell her my issue and she's like "So? Just do x, y, z. You'll be fine." So I got the BRCA testing done (I don't carry the breast or ovarian cancer gene - yay!), got some scans done on my uterus, made appointments with MFM doctors to discuss procedures and options, etc. So it's been slow and gradual to get us to the point where it could be a possibility. Plus, we only got married in 2012 - we wanted a few years to figure us out and travel and stuff. So waiting has been good for us I think.
@Daisy621 FX for good looking follies!!
@mrsdaddario good job DH!! Good luck at your appt!

WAYDTGKU: PNV, tracking cm, BBT, RRL tea, vitex, HIO full force now
R/R/CS: We have EWCM x10 today! Luckily we were able to rally and HIO last night and I just sent him a text saying that it's going to happen again tonight. By the time we're both home from work, have had dinner, and the dog settles down enough to leave us alone, it is already past my bedtime. So staying up to HIO means i am exhausted today, and will probably be tomorrow. But hopefully it's worth it!
This is a very random question/rant and not TTC related, but it's been driving me crazy. For anyone that buys shrimp from the store, have you noticed that it will say the shrimp is deveined, but then actually isn't? I've consistently noticed that every time i buy "deveined" shrimp, it's a lie. That gross little poop shoot is still very much there and I have to spend 20 minutes getting them all out! Sorry if this makes me seem like a crazy person, but i made shrimp last night and was just like wtf?! Maybe I'm missing the meaning of deveined or something? Ok, end random rant
GTKY: Have you always wanted children, or were you on the fence and had that switch flipped one day? I think DH wanted them more than me honestly. It's not that I don't want children, but i think i'd be ok either way. Now that we're trying, I really do want them and am excited for it to finally happen, whenever it does.

Started OPKs and Mucinex yesterday...
RRCS NM going on, two OPKs so far, two O's, but I'm glad at least I started them early enough this time to be ahead of the curve.
*TW other pregnant ppl/babies* I was on FB last night messaging for a while with two old friends, one from college with two boys, one pretty new still, and another who is 37 weeks along with TWINS!!! Oh man, so excited for her and even though it's been a long time since we saw each other, and really only randomly sang together at this one workshop, we totally chatted for a while about all kinds of baby-stuff, so that was awesome. /end TW
GTKY I think I have always wanted to be a mom. I don't really remember it, but my mother swears in first grade when we did those, "what I want to be when I grow up," things, I put that I wanted to be a mommy. At around 25 the joke was I wanted a baseball team - 9 boys with a bat-girl at the end! lol I still want a big family, we'll see if we can manage to squeeze out 5-6 before my ovaries dry up lol But seriously, we started kinda late (I'm 33), but life is what it is! and stranger things have happened, so you never know! Hoping once we get this first one in, maybe we'll just hit our stride ;)

@mokay19 That’s a sweet story about your sis. Bless

@KirstinH88 I love that gif reaction LOL
@mrsdaddario YAAAAAAAAAAS FX to the moon and back for you!
@hezzer78 time to HIO!
@jatwal128 I’ve totally noticed the same thing. And I don’t even eat shrimp, so it really annoys me!!! I will once in a while make shrimp for my husband, and every damn time I still have to do it.
@laurad75 so much like me – I was always really take it or leave it and now it’s so different!
@BusinessWife THAT would be quite a team! I don’t think I could even THINK about that lol

WAYDTGKU: HIO as much as possible!
R/R/CS: Just waiting for those CH.
Not TTC related but I bought a much, much larger bridesmaid dress for a wedding I am in in Sept hoping to be KU. I emailed the company to see if I could exchange it for a smaller size and they said no, more than 30 days have passed. Keep in mind this isn't the type of place where you batch order dresses so they are all the same color. The dress in all sizes is still in stock. Now I am in a battle of words with them. I really don't want to spend a million dollars in alterations.
GTKY: Have you always wanted children, or were you on the fence and had that switch flipped one day? @BusinessWife Same!! "a mom" was always my response to that question as a kid. The concept of having kids sort of scares me. I always felt like I needed to be in some perfect place before we tried - career wise, financially, well traveled and relationship wise I also wanted a year to just be husband and wife. I did all the things I wanted to do but I realize there is no perfect time. And there are no guarantees when it comes to having kids. Like @krys I now worry whether waiting was the right decision. But, all we can do is look forward, be positive and hope for the best for the future.
@mrsdaddario eeeeee good luck!!
@nwegman7878 Feel better love!
@jatwal128 omg same... I am a strict bedtime person and all this HIO has me half asleep at my desk.
@hezzer78 good luck at the doctor... I agree it can't hurt to get it looked at.

I love canning but it is exhausting. We had a bumper crop of carrots this year so I think I'm going to make carrot cake today.
GTKY: Have you always wanted children, or were you on the fence and had that switch flipped one day?
I have always wanted kids. I actually almost did not go to grad school because I wanted to start a family but my DH talked me out of that. We had some hard times financially so we put off starting a family longer than I wanted, which I now kind of regret. I would really like to have 3 or 4 kids, but right now I'll settle for one.

WAYDTGKU: Charting temps and cm, opks & going to use preseed this cycle
R/R/CS: Waiting not so patiently for this extremely boring part of the cycle to move along. Happy that a long weekend is coming up!
GTKY: Have you always wanted children, or were you on the fence and had that switch flipped one day?
I've always wanted children for sure. I talked about it all the time growing up and that never changed! My DH wants kids just as badly as I do too.

WAYDTGKU: Nothing
R/R/CS: Just found out we get out early tomorrow! Hello extra long weekend!
GTKY: Have you always wanted children, or were you on the fence and had that switch flipped one day? Always, always, always wanted kids. Although before I knew ttc could take so long (or realized loss is a part of ttc) I wanted more children. Now I'd be very happy with 1 more. I honestly can say I do not care if I have another girl or have a boy. Just having a healthy happy baby is all that matters to me.

WAYDTGKU: temping, PNVs, will check CM when it shows up, hopefully sex 2-3 times a week, we'll see
R/R/CS: I have never ovulated prior to CD 19 so I have a while to go yet most likely. Which is good because DH is sick right now so I don't particularly want to go near him. :-)
GTKY: Have you always wanted children, or were you on the fence and had that switch flipped one day? I have always wanted them. Now that I have one I want even more of them than I previously thought! DH and I originally decided we both wanted two, but after having DD, I kind of want 3 because she's so awesome, and he's on the fence about having any more, because she's so much work! So we'll probably wind up compromising at our original plan of 2. Unless I have twins next time. (that is completely a joke, I totally thought twins would be super fun and awesome until I had one colicky baby, and now I have no earthly idea how twin parents survive, they are hero-people).

@Saralee797 It is A LOT easier and less expensive to alter a dress to be smaller than trying to take it out especially when the colour/fabric is custom, hopefully they will exchange it, but if not, hopefully the alterations aren't too expensive. I also found that going to someone not at the bridal store where the dress was purchased is less expensive. They don't like it, but they can't stop you from taking the dress unaltered and going somewhere else with it.

WAYDTGKU: PNV, Inositol, Medicated cycle round #2: Letrozole (Finished), U/S (had one Monday and one today), TI (starting today-ED for the next four days), (Plus charting, opks and pre-seed).
R/R/CS: Added in another supplement, started using pre-seed, have had multiple U/S's now this week. I've honestly been having a really hard time WTO because I haven't been getting good news at all and it's been really depressing not knowing if it's even going to happen. However I got good news at my U/S this morning so am back to feeling optimistic. This process is such a roller coaster ride!
GTKY: Wanting kids has been a process in itself for me. When I was younger, I was "that girl". The one who NEVER wanted kids. I was an only child, liked my own space, was very independent, and still have never babysat or changed a diaper in my life. Things started changing when I met my DH. He has always been very open about wanting kids. He has never pressured me but was definitely ready before me (he's also 5 years older). As our relationship grew I started became more open to the idea of having kids until one day I realized it was something that was important to me too. I still didn't (don't) want A baby, I want HIS baby. Not in a creepy kind of way, but in a "wow he is going to be an amazing dad, we are going to make an amazing kid and I'm excited to start our family" kind of way. Of course now that we are having TTTC I'm at the total other end of the spectrum now and radiate that "I want a baby vibe" everywhere I go- so I try to keep it in check!

WAYDTKGU: Trying to get into a better mental and physical state of mind.
R/R/CS: I am feel a whole lot better today and I think I have moved onto the acceptance stage. Quick thanks to everyone who reached out yesterday, your kind words meant a lot.
I am so excited for this day to be over though, I have to work late today, but than onto a 3 day weekend and road trip with the sister! We are so excited, but also have no idea what we are in for so the whole thing will be really interesting. I think it will be a great distraction for me!
GTKY: This questions made me tear up a little, I have always wanted kids for as long as I can remember. Even when I was a kid, I would always play the mom role and as I got older it just because my biggest dream. I can't wait to have a little family of my own.
@Krys FX O can hold out until your back! I find it comical that we are all here waiting for it to happen and you are like "just hold off a little longer" haha
@GrabberBlue2010 Oh man, now I want a blueberry muffin! Must resist! Also, I have definitely wanted to through my thermometer a couple times before.
@nwegman7878 That gif is my fav way to describe AF! I am right there with ya girl. We can get through this!
@Daisy621 Good luck at your appt later! FX that everything goes well
@sevenn It is still early in your cycle so I wouldn't be too worried. I don't think the teas can delay O, bodies are just super weird sometimes. Just keep doing what you're doing!
@mrsdaddario Reading through your post made me laugh. It was very suspenseful, but I am relieved to hear that it all worked out in the end. FX for good results!
@jatwal128 Get it girl!!

I always did too! And then DD was a complete nightmare for almost 4 months. I very seriously almost voluntarily cut my maternity leave short so I could send her to daycare sooner and get out of the house every day! But she did come out of it and is super awesome and fun now. I just don't know how dealing with twins would work now that I have the experience of 1...how do you deal with night wakings? and what if they both wanted to be held 24/7 like DD did? and how do you even breastfeed two??? that is hard enough with one! I think twins would be easier to handle having never had a singleton first because then you'd have nothing to compare it to and you wouldn't know any better. If I got KU with twins now, my first order of business would be to immediately hire a nanny. And then buy a hospital grade breast pump I guess, because the idea of using my current home model to extract twice as much milk once I went back to work makes me want to cry.
