CD: 9 WAYDTGKU: All the things + Metformin R/R: It looks like O day might be the weekend we're in a cabin full of my family with non-insulated walls. That will be fun. (Not.)
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? I don't really have a favourite party song. I am really feeling the new Britney Spears.song, except it reminds me a lot of I Believe I Can Fly.
CD: 16 WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, RRLT R/R: I got my positive OPK yesterday afternoon! So now I have to keep dragging my physically exhausted husband to bed during this horrible heat. He only complains until it happens. Now for the rant: Twice now when I posts, it cuts off my post halfway! Ugh.
CS/Q: I know I posted about RRLT before, but I have one more question, as I sip a cup right now. Is it safe during the TWW? I've read so many conflicting reports on it. I'm a little paranoid I guess after a few losses and don't want to harm anything now that we are actually fully trying.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? All time has to be Got Your Money by ODB. Since I was an underage teen getting into clubs to a year ago when I last went out, it's been played without fail. It's a classic. Though currently, it's Turn Down for What, by Lil Jon.
CD: 15 WAYDTGKU: sex, temping, robitussin R/R: My DH let me explain to him how my cervix changes throughout my cycle and its current state makes me think I'll be ovulating soon. His poor face was so confused. "Your cervix is something you can touch?!" Really sweet of him to listen to something that he probably wished he hadn't asked about but oh well.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? Tell Me When to Go by E-40 is all time fave.
CD: 4 WAYDTGKU: Letrozole Trigger IUI # 3 R/R: I had an ultrasound and blood work this morning. Everything looked good so I'll start my five days of Letrozole tonight. If everything looks good, IUI will most likely be next Friday or Saturday.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)?
I'm going to stay over here until I have crosshairs!
Month/Cycle: 11/5
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: Letrozole, Pregnyl, Metformin, PNV, Inositol, temping, loads of sex
R/R: I tried using the applicator for Preseed yesterday... First of all, it was confusing. Second of all, the end that you're supposed to insert doesn't have a rounded top and it hurt to try to put in... So I quit and basically just squeezed it on the outside of my vagina.... Oh well! Last night while I was awkwardly trying to figure out the applicator DH goes "isn't the time for the sex to matter over?" And I was like "I don't know! We're being safe rather than sorry!"
Q/CS: Not today... But maybe tomorrow... We'll see!
GTKY: Old Time Rock n Roll. It will always be my favorite since it's one of my dad's favorites. He's a super quiet, nerdy guy but when this song comes on, he plays a KILLER air guitar!
CD: 7 WAYDTGKU: BBT, PVN, OPK, HIO ED DURING FW R/R: I got 40% off a year of FF with a code from their Twitter! Thanks @mrsstuessy for the heads up!
CS/Q: This is my fist month temping vaginally and it's so stressful! Every night since I have started I have had dreams about it. Plus its been hot so I have been waking up with no covers, which I'm sure is making my temps lower. Is that going to make a huge difference? I wish I wasn't so worried about doing this "right"
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? This is hard! I don't have a favorite, but I loved Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars.

CD: 1 WAYDTGKU: Nada at the moment. Adding preseed, RRLT, B6 to the arsenal for this cycle. R/R: I am in a much better place today but as you can imagine the mones were raging last night ****TW**** I got a call from my bff last night and she told me she is PG with #2. They were. not. even. trying. She doesn't know we are and I am a million times happy for her because they had several MCs before the got their take home baby. Still, I really broke down. Lots o tears. What makes it worse is we would have had a DD two days apart if last cycle was mine. I am just hoping this is our cycle and we can be PG together. ***END TW**** So on the brightside I am off to a bachelorette party beach weekend and I am going to drink my face off. Just stinks to have AF and be in a bathing suit. I decided I am not temping during AF and also taking time off TB for the weekend. I think I could use a little break.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? Too Good by Drake right now. Also loving Drake and Rhi Rhi together. Oh and Me too by Megan Trainer.
CD: 17 WAYDTGKU: PNVs, ED R/R: According to my apps (since I don't temp or anything yet), today is supposed to be O day! So that's exciting.
CS/Q: What are the best HPT to get? And when is an "appropriate time" to start testing? I only ask this because I don't know my actual O day.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? This is really hard! I feel like a lot of the oldies are great party songs. But I do also love Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus.
Me: 28 DH :28 Married 12/5/2015 4 fur babies - 2 cats, 2 dogs TTC July 2016
CD: 17 WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNV, OPK, CM, CP, RRL Tea R/R: Welllllll. Tomorrow should be O day. But it won't. Cause my body is being a jerk. And I'm so stressed out I'm having dreams about O. Last night I had a dream that I did O but my LP was only 7 days and I was freaking out. Good job brain.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? Oh this is an interesting one. Except I can't think of any. Probably because I can't remember the last time I went to a party.
@ktcakes87 I have dreams about messing up temping too! Usually around O time when I'm anxious for the rise. Here's my experience with temping in the hopes I'll ease your mind about possible artificially low/high temps: My pre-O temp is usually anywhere from 97.3 to 98.1 (I run hot). I only get a temp higher than 98.1 pre-O if I drank heavily. Post-O my temp is between 98.2 and 98.6; once I got a 99.1 when I drank! I worry about odd low/high temps a lot throwing off FF, but what I've noticed is there is a clear shift to the higher temps post-O that I won't get pre-O no matter the conditions I'm sleeping in, unless I temp too late in the morning. You'll learn your patterns quickly and will recognize an outlier. I also temp vaginally; it's odd but you'll get used to it And yes, I've accidentally stuck it in my urethra. Twice. Uncomfortable.
Month/Cycle: 1/1 post-surgery
CD: 20 WAYDTGKU: OPKs, BBT, PNVs, EOD sex I hope R/R: Got a positive OPK this morning, which should be the last of my surge, and no temp rise so no O yesterday. H couldn't seal the deal last night, leading to some frustrations on both our parts, adding to my WTF Wednesday post about his jerking off Tuesday morning when he knew I was ovulating and we needed to HIO Tuesday night. We have one more chance tonight and here's hoping he can get it done.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? This is a tough one! I have a party mix I made for beach week in 2000 that includes an all-time fave, "What's Your Fantasy?" by Ludacris. Ah, the nostalgia of room temp Bud Light and bad decisions with frat guys... My current go-to is "Shots" or really anything from LMFAO.

CD: 16 WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, HIO EOD around fertile window, green tea, losing weight, eating healthier. R/R: It's Thursday! That's one day closer to Friday! I'm still getting a high reading on my CBAD. I didn't test last night, but I was high this morning. So I will test again this afternoon and tonight and however long it takes to get a peak reading, trying to rally DH to HIO as much as he can.
CS/Q: Nada
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? Holy crap this is a good question! Right now, I would say "That's My Kind of Night" by Luke Bryan. I'm a big country fan. I also love "Here Comes the Hotstepper," "California Knows How to Party," some of those good ol' classics! I'll party to anything with a good beat! (Not that I party anymore...)

TTC #1 (on and off) since September 2015 DS1 Due 6.7.2021
CD: 13 WAYDTGKU: PNV, CM, Green Tea, HIO R/R: Rave: this is my birthday week, and my FW so needless to say I'm pretty optimistic for this to be our cycle and been having fun!
Rant: If it doesn't happen this month, we would be pushing it to try in August and will for sure be TTA for Sept-Oct due to a wedding in June. So there's that in the back of my head.
CS/Q: How many of you "imagine" or plan out in your head each month or part of the month how you will tell your family. I have imagined for the 4th of July, then my sisters birthday, then for my birthday. Next would be my Dad's birthday. But even if I did get a BFP, it would be stupid early, I don't know. But then each time passes and on to my next "vision" ugh.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? I don't have a favorite but anything I can dance to, I'm a fan of. Love to dance.
@eggplantface Thanks, that does make me worry a little less! Also, ouch! That made me cringe just reading it . I meant to comment on WTF post yesterday but forgot. My DH does the same shit, jerking off then not being able to finish. We have "rules" about that, because if he is jerking off it messed with our sex life big time. The last two times he hasn't been able to finish, it's so f*ing frustrating! I would flip if he couldn't finish during FW!

@marybpoppins Wondfo HPTs are reliable and cheap so you won't feel guilty about testing early or because you got a weird symptom that day so thought you might be pregnant even though you clearly got your period the day before but maybe it was just random bleeding that you've heard about some friend-of-a-friend having once and still being pregnant. Not that I ever did that.
I also have a box of CB digitals to confirm if I ever get a positive on a Wondfo. I won't waste those suckers. The dollar store tests/88 cent Walmart tests are also reliable.

@Dilynne argh! Sorry O day might not be on a good day hope you can work around it!
@MrsPamda YES!!! An ODB fan! I had the same question about RRLT and I *think* one cup per day is fine but I'm also scared due to previous losses so would love to know the consensus? I found a local tea lady who makes a fertility tea and a tea for each trimester. It's in the fertility tea but I don't think it's in the first tri tea, which is what concerns me about the TWW and she's an herbalist so I'll be going to talk to her about it, too, but....friggin of course...they're closed right now because she just had a baby!
@meilay that's pretty cute about DH. They really have no idea lol
@mokay19 LOL for awkward preseed sessions! I'm still not sure I can get away with the applicator unless I can do it out of view or if it'll freak DH out!
@ktcakes87 I'm super worried about doing this right, too
@Saralee797 sorry about the upsetting news but enjoy your bachelor party and your break!
Officially CD1 here and I shouldn't be excited but I kind of am! I feel like by the time DH got on board last cycle, we didn't really have a shot, so I'm hoping to give it a better shot this cycle! Plus I'm really hoping my new thermometer will clear things up and that I am ovulating and my progesterone is fine! So screw it, I'm excited for today!
Month/Cycle: 2/2 TTCAL
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: PNV, DHA, checking CM and CP(if I remember) AFTER AF is over!, BBT, Maca, warm lemon water in am, Green Tea, RRL Tea, "Golden Milk", and I think I'm biting the bullet and ordering OPKs today, preseed, and of course BDing when DH is in town....Is it too much???!!!!! Honestly, I'd do more if someone has more ideas lol
R/R: I just realized something last night, ladies.....how the heck am I going to take this crazy on the road???!! DH gets back on Tue or Wed and we're leaving for camping and a wedding from Thurs to Sun or Mon (then he leaves AGAIN Tue so pleeeeease go early O!). Some stuff is easy to travel with but I'm really excited about my beverage regimen and that seems a little trickier to keep up especially without DH witnessing all the voodoo lol Must plan this out!
CS/Q: Nope! And hoping new thermometer will keep it that way
GTKY: I'm not good at picking favorites but for a party I agree that ODB is boss but also love love love me some Ludacris, he always makes me smile, and Snoop, and all that other 90s rap, r&b, hip hop, pop lol SO FUN!
@BusinessWife hello, I take inositol at request by my doctor! I have PCOS (well, the RE says I have "strong indications of PCOS"). I'm not sure why it is specifically used for women with PCOS because my research on it says that it is used to improve egg quality and can be beneficial for anyone trying to conceive--especially at an older age. I believe it is in the family of B vitamins and overall helps with cell-to-cell communication.
I bought the powder form on Amazon and simply mix it with water. It has a sweet taste so it goes down smoothly!
CD: 19 WAYDTGKU: sex when we feel like it and temping to confirm ovulation R/R: My normal cycle is ovulation around CD 20, give or take a day. I am not using OPKs this cycle, but have been checking CM every once and awhile. I definitely don't have fertile CM. So, we will just have to see. I would not be to sad if O was delayed a few days. It looks like I am set to get AF 3 days before I am planning on a mini triathlon. I would be much happier if it decided to come the day after the triathlon.
CS/Q: ***TW- loss***So many questions about what my body is doing since the MC. Will I ovulate? When? What will AF be like? Will I not get normal fertile signs? I know that no one really has the answers to those questions though. So, I will just wonder and wait.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? Party Rock Anthem probably. It was the last song we danced to at my wedding 5 years ago and bring really happy memories to me. Some people were there dancing who are no longer living. And some friends were there that have since gone their separate ways. But, at that moment it was just fun and I had no idea all the shit that was to come after we got married. And definitely partially because I love his awesome hair.

CD: 16 WAYDTGKU: PNVs, diet, exercise, OPKs, sex, Clomid, etc etc. R/R: Not much to say. It's slow and uneventful here. Thunderstorms & frequent power outages have me a bit bored/cooped up. It makes it hard not to think about TTC all of the time, which I swear every cycle I won't do.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? I'm a fan of all things Britney and also a lot of 90's-early 2000's rap/hip hop. I have such a hard time picking favorites when it comes to music...there's so much!
@MrsPamda I'm new to the RRL tea thing, also. I tried it when it first arrived (I ordered online) and it didn't taste too bad, but read the same thing. I'm a bit nervous about when to drink it. I also read conflicting reports about drinking it while on Clomid (which I am), and might ask my OB before making it a regular thing.
@AliciaGoose FX for a successful O. I know how you feel.
OMG @eggplantface that second GIF. I'm dying. @BusinessWife so sorry to see you back here! Hugs and FX for this cycle. I agree that you should treat yourself to something yummy and/or fun.

CS/Q: Nope, nada.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? Probably Happy by Pherrell Williams. Usually all the great dancing breaks out with that song with my peeps. Or in my case ; awkward, clumsy, overbite dancing.

@mokay19 Thanks for the info, yeah I'm seeing a lot of benefits, and like, even mentions taking at bedtime to help support restful sleep, so I'm wondering if that's something DH and I could start taking, and just not even mention anything about possible fertility benefits... I want to get us on a thing where we are both drinking a little fiber in the morning, so if I added this too at bedtime, maybe that will help us remember both things. Hmmm...
@AliciaGoose @ahrains @BarefootandPurple @magnolia31 @KirstinH88 @Aurora1973 @mrsdaddario Thanks for all the CD1 hugs/love-tits. I am honestly having trouble thinking of anything NBR I might treat myself to. Is that terrible? I spent waaaay too much on my stash last cycle @PepperAT !!! Otherwise believe me I would get these adorable covers I found, but I have actually way too many covers already since my genius-face had to start buying them in fours. Then I see like guidelines saying say 24 diapers and 4-6 covers per size. lol <img src="https://commitnesstofitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/not-in-my-house.gif" alt=""> Oooh, but I did save myself a few bites of Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice cream for today, so I'm sure that counts. ;)
@tripledaggerWed95976 I'm so sorry about your CPs. I had one cycle before last and am trying not to be, but am terrified of having more. It's an awful thing to go through. Big hugs to you, too!

R/R: My fertility specialist appointment is this afternoon. They called this morning to discuss insurance stuff with me, and while diagnostics are covered, it's only at 50%. I can't bitch...I'm very fortunate to have them covered at all. But still, ouch. Also, I'm getting freaking nervous. I'm not worried about the appointment itself, but the results. Shit is starting to get real.

CD: 37 WAYDTGKU: all the usual. I think we're going back to EOD since I don't think I actually O'd. R/R: After a super promising spike, my temps have gone lower each of the last two mornings. I was ready to scream at 4 am when I temped this morning! I didn't, because H would have been scared to death. Lol. I'm super frustrated because all of my other signs indicate O on CD 34 and our timing would have been perfect. Honestly I feel kind of run over and generally grouchy today like I do before AF, so I'm almost wondering if she's on her way and I'm just anovulatory this cycle. But FX that's not the case! Maybe this is just a long cycle. I would like to have one more legitimate chance before my appt next month with my OBGYN to discuss further testing and a referral to an RE.
CS/Q: none today, just sorry for the long rant above!

Thanks to everyone for the CD1 sympathies, and welcoming me back.
@MrsPamda - I decided to forgo the RRL during the TWW, but I think it is absolutely delicious and missed it during it! I am about to go and brew myself a cup now.
@meilay - haha!! My DH knows about the CM (he likes to look at my chart and try to make sense of it) but I've managed to not have to teach him about CP
@thegreenbee - I'm with you on a possible TTA need. I have this cycle and next, after which it gets dicey with a new job starting. DH says that we need to "live our lives" but I don't want to be that person who goes on maternity leave right after starting a new job. But I imagine after all this it will be hard to stop...
CD: 2? hmm WAYDTGKU: hmm R/R: idk what is going onnnn
CS/Q: I've had brown spotting now for 3 days. I've had a tampon in because anything else is inconvenient, but full on AF hasn't come yet. This is a little strange because I usually don't spot more than a day before AF. Temp dropped, but was back up today, although I initially discarded it because I hadn't had quite 3 hrs of sleep. I've got no cramps and am still fatigued. I also expected a pretty brutal AF given my long follicular phase... maybe it just needs another day. I'm figuring that there is no way I'm KU with this so I'm going to stay here, although maybe CD1 hasn't officially happened yet. But maybe I will pee on a wondfo when I get home for fun.

Christmas time because DH and I don’t live close to our parents/family anymore
so that’s basically the only time we see everyone. We’ve got the next 2-3
cycles to get it done for a “reveal” this Christmas!
@BusinessWife,
Ugh, so sorry that the last cycle wasn’t the one for you. It’s National Junk
Food Day, so be sure to treat yourself to something awesome! Hugs girl…
@rainbowturtles,
Yay for you having such a positive outlook on CD1! Good luck with your secret
beverages!
CD: 4 –
I think AF will be making her departure tomorrow
WAYDTGKU: PNV, temping, CM, pre seed, OPKs, green tea (new)
R/R: Really not looking forward to the over 100 degree temperatures
the next few days. We have outdoor stuff to do around the house but there’s no
way in hell I’m doing it when it’s that hot!
CS/Q: nadda
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? I’m
ashamed to admit that mine is In the club by FloRida. But I just LOVE that
song! Oh, and I also love the new JT song!

Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 13 WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, HIO R/R: I think I'm going to go out and get me some OPKS today. I know I'm approaching (or in) my FW and I'm curious to try them out. Even with Amazon prime, there's no way I can get the cheapies here to AK in time so I'll get the ones at the store and see how that goes. DH is awesome though, I mentioned my desire to get OPKs last night and he started asking me questions about what they do and what they'll help with in regards to TTC. He's so excited about trying for a baby he wants to know almost as much as I do.....almost.
CS/Q: Temperature went back up from my two random low temps, but still not in the post-O range yet.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? Oooo, good question. I love Saving Abel's "Mississippi Moonshine", it has a great beat.
CD: 3 WAYDTGKU: only pnvs for now R/R: Just really impatient for fw and ovulation to hurry up and get here.
CS/Q: Anyone else have hot flashes during their period? I think it's normal but my usual symptoms are on steroids this cycle. Extra moody, cramps way way worse, headaches every night, more body temperature swings... maybe I'm just extra hot because it's summer? Just curious.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? At the family cookout Cherry Bomb by John Cougar is a hit, but we're Hoosiers Love dancing to Poison by Bel Biv Devoe or Feels Good by Tony Toni Tone!

@sevenn I hear ya, and the thought of TTA is giving me anxiety. I mean I suppose we don't HAVE to TTA but its for my Brothers wedding, and I would never forgive myself if I missed that. So I'm trying to stay positive and shoot come November we can get right back with it.
CD: 4 WAYDTGKU: BBT, temping, cutting back caffeine, waiting for AF to get out of here R/R: My home chef delivery did not show up today so now I have no idea what I'm doing for dinner because I have no groceries.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: I'm a sucker for most anything that is on the radio. That being said I love me some Pitbull.
I've been inadvertently absent in the WTO thread so far this cycle. I was traveling, my mom came in to town to visit, and I was sick. I'm happy to be back!
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 14 WAYDTGKU: Last cycle, I temped religiously, tracked CM, charted with FF and Ovia, CB Digital (non-flashy) OPKs, and PNVs. I'm added Astroglide TTC in the mix this month. R/R: I have been off my temping game due to illness and travel. I recommitted to the alarm earlier this week, and today my dog's woke me up well before it went off. No temp. for me today. Help me out here, pups.
CS/Q: All good here.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? I have a soft spot for F*ck the Pain Away by Peaches
Giving my brain a TTC break for a few days but had to jump on and say sorry for all the CD1s ladies. I hate seeing you all back here Positive vibes and FX for everyone this cycle!

@sevenn I had the same issue this cycle with the spotting. I spotted brown for 2 and a half days with on and off cramping. Then one morning driving to work, no cramps or anything, AF shows her lovely face. And of course I had no tampon or pad or anything in or on because all signs of AF had vanished. Bodies are annoying.

Thought of another question, for you ladies out there that have ovulation pain, do you feel it on the same side every month. I feel it even down into my legs, it's quite obvious to me when I get the discomfort. So last month, left side. So I though it would switch but left side again this month. I may have to consult Dr. Google even though the Nurse in me is slapping my wrists.
Re: WTO Thursday

WAYDTGKU: All the things + Metformin
R/R: It looks like O day might be the weekend we're in a cabin full of my family with non-insulated walls. That will be fun. (Not.)

WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPKs, RRLT
R/R: I got my positive OPK yesterday afternoon! So now I have to keep dragging my physically exhausted husband to bed during this horrible heat. He only complains until it happens. Now for the rant: Twice now when I posts, it cuts off my post halfway! Ugh.
CS/Q: I know I posted about RRLT before, but I have one more question, as I sip a cup right now. Is it safe during the TWW? I've read so many conflicting reports on it. I'm a little paranoid I guess after a few losses and don't want to harm anything now that we are actually fully trying.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? All time has to be Got Your Money by ODB. Since I was an underage teen getting into clubs to a year ago when I last went out, it's been played without fail. It's a classic. Though currently, it's Turn Down for What, by Lil Jon.
Edited to add missing part of post.
CD: 15
WAYDTGKU: sex, temping, robitussin
R/R: My DH let me explain to him how my cervix changes throughout my cycle and its current state makes me think I'll be ovulating soon. His poor face was so confused. "Your cervix is something you can touch?!" Really sweet of him to listen to something that he probably wished he hadn't asked about but oh well.
CS/Q:

WAYDTGKU: Letrozole Trigger IUI # 3
R/R: I had an ultrasound and blood work this morning. Everything looked good so I'll start my five days of Letrozole tonight. If everything looks good, IUI will most likely be next Friday or Saturday.

Month/Cycle: 11/5
CD: 20
WAYDTGKU: Letrozole, Pregnyl, Metformin, PNV, Inositol, temping, loads of sex
R/R: I tried using the applicator for Preseed yesterday... First of all, it was confusing. Second of all, the end that you're supposed to insert doesn't have a rounded top and it hurt to try to put in... So I quit and basically just squeezed it on the outside of my vagina.... Oh well!
Last night while I was awkwardly trying to figure out the applicator DH goes "isn't the time for the sex to matter over?" And I was like "I don't know! We're being safe rather than sorry!"
Q/CS: Not today... But maybe tomorrow... We'll see!
GTKY: Old Time Rock n Roll. It will always be my favorite since it's one of my dad's favorites. He's a super quiet, nerdy guy but when this song comes on, he plays a KILLER air guitar!
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: BBT, PVN, OPK, HIO ED DURING FW
R/R: I got 40% off a year of FF with a code from their Twitter! Thanks @mrsstuessy for the heads up!
CS/Q: This is my fist month temping vaginally and it's so stressful! Every night since I have started I have had dreams about it. Plus its been hot so I have been waking up with no covers, which I'm sure is making my temps lower. Is that going to make a huge difference? I wish I wasn't so worried about doing this "right"
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)?
This is hard! I don't have a favorite, but I loved Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars.

R/R: I am in a much better place today but as you can imagine the mones were raging last night ****TW**** I got a call from my bff last night and she told me she is PG with #2. They were. not. even. trying. She doesn't know we are and I am a million times happy for her because they had several MCs before the got their take home baby. Still, I really broke down. Lots o tears. What makes it worse is we would have had a DD two days apart if last cycle was mine. I am just hoping this is our cycle and we can be PG together. ***END TW****
So on the brightside I am off to a bachelorette party beach weekend and I am going to drink my face off. Just stinks to have AF and be in a bathing suit. I decided I am not temping during AF and also taking time off TB for the weekend. I think I could use a little break.

We have one more chance tonight and here's hoping he can get it done.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? This is a tough one! I have a party mix I made for beach week in 2000 that includes an all-time fave, "What's Your Fantasy?" by Ludacris. Ah, the nostalgia of room temp Bud Light and bad decisions with frat guys... My current go-to is "Shots" or really anything from LMFAO.

CS/Q: How many of you "imagine" or plan out in your head each month or part of the month how you will tell your family. I have imagined for the 4th of July, then my sisters birthday, then for my birthday. Next would be my Dad's birthday. But even if I did get a BFP, it would be stupid early, I don't know. But then each time passes and on to my next "vision" ugh.

@MrsPamda YES!!! An ODB fan! I had the same question about RRLT and I *think* one cup per day is fine but I'm also scared due to previous losses so would love to know the consensus? I found a local tea lady who makes a fertility tea and a tea for each trimester. It's in the fertility tea but I don't think it's in the first tri tea, which is what concerns me about the TWW and she's an herbalist so I'll be going to talk to her about it, too, but....friggin of course...they're closed right now because she just had a baby!
@meilay that's pretty cute about DH. They really have no idea lol
@mrsdaddario yay for everything looking good!
@mokay19 LOL for awkward preseed sessions! I'm still not sure I can get away with the applicator unless I can do it out of view or if it'll freak DH out!
@ktcakes87 I'm super worried about doing this right, too
@Saralee797 sorry about the upsetting news but enjoy your bachelor party and your break!
Officially CD1 here and I shouldn't be excited but I kind of am! I feel like by the time DH got on board last cycle, we didn't really have a shot, so I'm hoping to give it a better shot this cycle! Plus I'm really hoping my new thermometer will clear things up and that I am ovulating and my progesterone is fine! So screw it, I'm excited for today!
Month/Cycle: 2/2 TTCAL
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: PNV, DHA, checking CM and CP(if I remember) AFTER AF is over!, BBT, Maca, warm lemon water in am, Green Tea, RRL Tea, "Golden Milk", and I think I'm biting the bullet and ordering OPKs today, preseed, and of course BDing when DH is in town....Is it too much???!!!!!
Honestly, I'd do more if someone has more ideas lol
R/R: I just realized something last night, ladies.....how the heck am I going to take this crazy on the road???!! DH gets back on Tue or Wed and we're leaving for camping and a wedding from Thurs to Sun or Mon (then he leaves AGAIN Tue so pleeeeease go early O!). Some stuff is easy to travel with but I'm really excited about my beverage regimen and that seems a little trickier to keep up especially without DH witnessing all the voodoo lol Must plan this out!
CS/Q: Nope! And hoping new thermometer will keep it that way
GTKY: I'm not good at picking favorites but for a party I agree that ODB is boss but also love love love me some Ludacris, he always makes me smile, and Snoop, and all that other 90s rap, r&b, hip hop, pop lol SO FUN!

WAYDTGKU: sex when we feel like it and temping to confirm ovulation
R/R: My normal cycle is ovulation around CD 20, give or take a day. I am not using OPKs this cycle, but have been checking CM every once and awhile. I definitely don't have fertile CM. So, we will just have to see. I would not be to sad if O was delayed a few days. It looks like I am set to get AF 3 days before I am planning on a mini triathlon. I would be much happier if it decided to come the day after the triathlon.
CS/Q: ***TW- loss*** So many questions about what my body is doing since the MC. Will I ovulate? When? What will AF be like? Will I not get normal fertile signs? I know that no one really has the answers to those questions though. So, I will just wonder and wait.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? Party Rock Anthem probably. It was the last song we danced to at my wedding 5 years ago and bring really happy memories to me. Some people were there dancing who are no longer living. And some friends were there that have since gone their separate ways. But, at that moment it was just fun and I had no idea all the shit that was to come after we got married. And definitely partially because I love his awesome hair.

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, diet, exercise, OPKs, sex, Clomid, etc etc.
R/R: Not much to say. It's slow and uneventful here. Thunderstorms & frequent power outages have me a bit bored/cooped up. It makes it hard not to think about TTC all of the time, which I swear every cycle I won't do.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? I'm a fan of all things Britney and also a lot of 90's-early 2000's rap/hip hop. I have such a hard time picking favorites when it comes to music...there's so much!
@MrsPamda I'm new to the RRL tea thing, also. I tried it when it first arrived (I ordered online) and it didn't taste too bad, but read the same thing. I'm a bit nervous about when to drink it. I also read conflicting reports about drinking it while on Clomid (which I am), and might ask my OB before making it a regular thing.
@AliciaGoose FX for a successful O. I know how you feel.
@BusinessWife sorry about CD1.
@BusinessWife so sorry to see you back here! Hugs and FX for this cycle. I agree that you should treat yourself to something yummy and/or fun.

CS/Q: Nope, nada.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? Probably Happy by Pherrell Williams. Usually all the great dancing breaks out with that song with my peeps. Or in my case ; awkward, clumsy, overbite dancing.

Thanks for all the CD1 hugs/love-tits. I am honestly having trouble thinking of anything NBR I might treat myself to. Is that terrible? I spent waaaay too much on my stash last cycle @PepperAT !!! Otherwise believe me I would get these adorable covers I found, but I have actually way too many covers already since my genius-face had to start buying them in fours. Then I see like guidelines saying say 24 diapers and 4-6 covers per size. lol

I can't bitch...I'm very fortunate to have them covered at all. But still, ouch. Also, I'm getting freaking nervous. I'm not worried about the appointment itself, but the results. Shit is starting to get real.

July 2018 - exhausted frozen sperm, officially NTNP since OH is probably shooting blanks
CD: 37
WAYDTGKU: all the usual. I think we're going back to EOD since I don't think I actually O'd.
R/R: After a super promising spike, my temps have gone lower each of the last two mornings. I was ready to scream at 4 am when I temped this morning! I didn't, because H would have been scared to death. Lol. I'm super frustrated because all of my other signs indicate O on CD 34 and our timing would have been perfect. Honestly I feel kind of run over and generally grouchy today like I do before AF, so I'm almost wondering if she's on her way and I'm just anovulatory this cycle. But FX that's not the case! Maybe this is just a long cycle. I would like to have one more legitimate chance before my appt next month with my OBGYN to discuss further testing and a referral to an RE.
CS/Q: none today, just sorry for the long rant above!
GTKY: I've never really been much of a partier or a fan of the music, but I can enjoy or dance to pretty much anything if in the right mood.

Testing with RE October 2016
BFP 11/5/2016 ~ EDD 7/19/2016
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: Clomid CD 5-9, all the stuff
R/R: Nothing's going on. It's a little boring.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: I really can't pick a favorite song. I love songs as part of my mood. So what I love when I'm happy will not be the same when I'm angry or sad.
Clomid 50;100;150;200: No O
TSH 3.75 Put on 50mg levothyroxine
1500 MG Metformin
7.5 MG Letrozole: No Follicles
9 MG Letrozole: 21mm Follicle no pregnancy
4 cycles at 9 MG Letrozole, No pregnancy
@MrsPamda - I decided to forgo the RRL during the TWW, but I think it is absolutely delicious and missed it during it! I am about to go and brew myself a cup now.
@meilay - haha!! My DH knows about the CM (he likes to look at my chart and try to make sense of it) but I've managed to not have to teach him about CP
@mrsdaddario - yay for ok to start letrozole!
@Saralee797 - have a fun weekend!
@thegreenbee - I'm with you on a possible TTA need. I have this cycle and next, after which it gets dicey with a new job starting. DH says that we need to "live our lives" but I don't want to be that person who goes on maternity leave right after starting a new job. But I imagine after all this it will be hard to stop...
@BusinessWife - *hugs* sorry to see you here too.
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 2? hmm
WAYDTGKU: hmm
R/R: idk what is going onnnn
CS/Q: I've had brown spotting now for 3 days. I've had a tampon in because anything else is inconvenient, but full on AF hasn't come yet. This is a little strange because I usually don't spot more than a day before AF. Temp dropped, but was back up today, although I initially discarded it because I hadn't had quite 3 hrs of sleep. I've got no cramps and am still fatigued. I also expected a pretty brutal AF given my long follicular phase... maybe it just needs another day. I'm figuring that there is no way I'm KU with this so I'm going to stay here, although maybe CD1 hasn't officially happened yet. But maybe I will pee on a wondfo when I get home for fun.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? the one that comes to my head right now is Darius Rucker Wagon Wheel.

Thanks for the heads up on Britney's new song @Dilynne, how did I miss that?!
Month/Cycle: 9
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: BBT, OPK, RRL
R/R: I was hoping for a +OPK today but no such luck. I have a feeling I'll get one tomorrow though; I had a huge temp dip today and lots of EWCM. All signs point to a looming +OPK. It does mean though that I will be Oing while I'm traveling
CS/Q: Nah
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)?
I love Justin's new song "Can't Stop the Feeling"
ETA: TB ate my post...
@Saralee797, so sorry to see you back here. I think lots o’ drinks are called for!
@marybpoppins, Yes, I love that song as well!
@thegreenbee, I’ve thought about reveals a lot too lately. Mine usually revolve around Christmas time because DH and I don’t live close to our parents/family anymore so that’s basically the only time we see everyone. We’ve got the next 2-3 cycles to get it done for a “reveal” this Christmas!
@BusinessWife, Ugh, so sorry that the last cycle wasn’t the one for you. It’s National Junk Food Day, so be sure to treat yourself to something awesome! Hugs girl…
@rainbowturtles, Yay for you having such a positive outlook on CD1! Good luck with your secret beverages!
@tripledaggerWed95976, so sorry to hear about your CPs. Hugs for you too!
Month/Cycle: 1/2
CD: 4 – I think AF will be making her departure tomorrow
WAYDTGKU: PNV, temping, CM, pre seed, OPKs, green tea (new)
R/R: Really not looking forward to the over 100 degree temperatures the next few days. We have outdoor stuff to do around the house but there’s no way in hell I’m doing it when it’s that hot!
CS/Q: nadda
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)? I’m ashamed to admit that mine is In the club by FloRida. But I just LOVE that song! Oh, and I also love the new JT song!

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, HIO
R/R: I think I'm going to go out and get me some OPKS today. I know I'm approaching (or in) my FW and I'm curious to try them out. Even with Amazon prime, there's no way I can get the cheapies here to AK in time so I'll get the ones at the store and see how that goes. DH is awesome though, I mentioned my desire to get OPKs last night and he started asking me questions about what they do and what they'll help with in regards to TTC. He's so excited about trying for a baby he wants to know almost as much as I do.....almost.
CS/Q: Temperature went back up from my two random low temps, but still not in the post-O range yet.
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)?
Oooo, good question. I love Saving Abel's "Mississippi Moonshine", it has a great beat.
CD: 3
WAYDTGKU: only pnvs for now
R/R: Just really impatient for fw and ovulation to hurry up and get here.
CS/Q: Anyone else have hot flashes during their period? I think it's normal but my usual symptoms are on steroids this cycle. Extra moody, cramps way way worse, headaches every night, more body temperature swings... maybe I'm just extra hot because it's summer?
GTKY: What is your favorite party song (current or all time fav)?
At the family cookout Cherry Bomb by John Cougar is a hit, but we're Hoosiers

@Bertiemeetsgertie lets keep our fingers crossed
@sevenn I hear ya, and the thought of TTA is giving me anxiety. I mean I suppose we don't HAVE to TTA but its for my Brothers wedding, and I would never forgive myself if I missed that. So I'm trying to stay positive and shoot come November we can get right back with it.

WAYDTGKU: BBT, temping, cutting back caffeine, waiting for AF to get out of here
R/R: My home chef delivery did not show up today so now I have no idea what I'm doing for dinner because I have no groceries.
CS/Q: Nope.
GTKY: I'm a sucker for most anything that is on the radio. That being said I love me some Pitbull.
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: Last cycle, I temped religiously, tracked CM, charted with FF and Ovia, CB Digital (non-flashy) OPKs, and PNVs. I'm added Astroglide TTC in the mix this month.
R/R: I have been off my temping game due to illness and travel. I recommitted to the alarm earlier this week, and today my dog's woke me up well before it went off. No temp. for me today. Help me out here, pups.
CS/Q: All good here.

Thought of another question, for you ladies out there that have ovulation pain, do you feel it on the same side every month. I feel it even down into my legs, it's quite obvious to me when I get the discomfort. So last month, left side. So I though it would switch but left side again this month. I may have to consult Dr. Google even though the Nurse in me is slapping my wrists.
