WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, plan to HIO ED starting CD 12 until I get CHs. Until then...
R/R: Yay! It's Friday!! I'm ready for this day to be over!
I can't remember who it was on here that enlightened me with the fact that Harvest Moon is on the Wii. I bought the game on Amazon and finally got to play it yesterday! DS sat with me all evening and watched me play it. We (I) had so much fun!
Tonight I'm going to help (read: do it all by myself) DS clean out his room. He has a lot of toys that he has outgrown and I'd like to pass them on to my friend that has a younger son.
Also, said friend is pregnant with her 2nd and having her baby shower tmrw. I'm in charge of coordinating and running the games.
CS/Q: None today.
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day?
R/R: I think I actually ovulated yesterday! On CD 14! Such a huge improvement from CD 23 and CD19. I have one weird wonky high temp from CD 8 that's making my chart not as pretty, but based on my cm and some pain i had yesterday, I'm pretty sure i'll be moving over to TWW soon. Good job body!
I can't remember if i've mentioned this before or not, but DH has every other Friday off of work so he and his coworkers have made it a thing to go to a theme park for half a day on those days because they all have season passes. I obviously am NOT off of work and every time he goes a little part of me is annoyed. I have no reason why really, but I'm just like well, must be nice. Just jealous i guess Come on 5:00!
CS/Q: So in the past 6 days i missed one temp, so I'm wondering if FF will see enough of a shift if my temps keep going up even with that one wonky high temp. I may ask for a CS depending on what my temp does tomorrow and Sunday...
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day? 1. Food (this really should count for at least 2 of these because I think about food a lot) 2. My dog (is it bad that I'm not putting DH? lol) 3. My mental chore list for after i get home from work
CS/Q: my temps are all over the place and it's making my crazy but I just got a positive OPK so I'm pretty happy about that!
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day? 1. Losing weight 2. My son 3. Organizing the house. We just moved an I'm obsessively trying to re-organize
R/R: I'm actually off this weekend!! Need it badly. Unfortunately we have a lot of outdoor things to do which is not going to be fun with all this heat. Oh well- take what I can get!
CS/Q: O days have been 15, 13, 22. I bought the CBAD for the first time- when would you start them??
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day? When am I going home, what crises will be waiting for me when I get home, and TTC-obsessions. Haha.

R/R: I had my follicle scan yesterday, and had disappointing news so I kind of steered clear from the daily's. I'm in a better place mentally today. I only had on 10mm follicle. Mature follicles are between 18mm-25mm. At this point last cycle I had two mature follicles. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed. I'll go back Monday to see if there's any growth, but I'm not feeling too confident. If I do go and there is no growth, they'll have me take another five days of Letrozole at the 10mg a day dose. The first cycle I took 5mg of Letrozole twice with no response, but when they bumped me up to 7.5mg I popped two mature follicles. So I'm assuming if I do need to go onto to take 10mg, it will pop the follicles. I also advocated for myself and asked if the actual doctor could do my IUI this time. The first two times nurses did them. I really want to discuss how I would like a more personal approach to our infertility, and not just be seen by any nurse who happens to be available.

@sevenn since you're so sporadic on o day I'd probably start on cd10, but those are expensive to blow through. I use wondfos until they start to darken and then double check with CBD to make sure of O.
@mrsdaddario *hugs* hoping for better news on monday.

CS/Q:
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day? my kids, ttc-related anything, exercise/healthy eating related things.
@krisnicole23 hahaha yes to your 3 things. I really should've been honest with myself and put the same.
@mrsdaddario I'm sorry for the news you got dear Really crossing my fingers that your next appointment gives you much better news. Hang in there! And be kind to youself
R/R: Feeling a bit better today. Decided to refocus on my diet and food choices today because the past week they got derailed pretty badly. Joined a dietbet (which may have been a dumb idea) but I like the motivation. Got dance rehearsal at 11 today - which will be nice as I haven't done it all week due to AF issues and pains.
CS/Q: So I'm starting RRL tea this month. I know this topic has been beaten to death (and tons of people ask), but I'm pretty sure the consensus is to use it while TTC, then once you get BFP, stop until 2nd or 3rd tri - right? So many different things out there - but that's what I've gleaned. Maybe wrongly.
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day?
What's for breakfast? What's for lunch? What's for dinner?
HA - JK. Kinda. Probably the what's for dinner one is applicable - I also think about DH and how much I need to get done before I can retire to the couch with netflix.
R/R: Preseed and wondfo opks arrived yesterday! DH and I had a good laugh about using the lube because we never have before and it just sort of grosses me out for some reason. Heres to new experiences! lol
CS/Q:
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day? 1. TTC 2. Food - I am always concerned about where my next meal is coming from. 3. This one is probably a tie between work which is constant and DH because I genuinely like talking to him and being in frequent contact.
WAYDTGKU: Temping, Checking CM, Vitex, Sex, Waiting for my Drs. appt.
R/R: Going to a potluck BBQ at one of DH's friend's tonight. I'm not great with parties of people I don't know, but I know I need to get outside my comfort zone so... mentally preparing myself.

WAYDTGKU: FWP starts this weekend
R/R: My past 3 cycles have been 30, 35, and 31 days. While this is not anything extreme, I just get nervous that I will "miss" O if it happens earlier this month.
CS/Q: Nah
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day?
TTC (sigh) Budgeting - we need to save up a lot of cash for our next house and I get obsessive over the spreadsheet and projections, etc. The dog/DH - it's a tie!
WAYDTGKU: Still waiting. After this weekend I will be starting all the damn things!
R/R: Rave: It freakin' Friday and I can't wait for this day to be over so that I can start the weekend. My BF's little boy just turned One and the party is this weekend, which means I get to go and look for a cute little gift and torture myself. She is also asking me to make a little backdrop for her and I am so not crafty, so we will see how this goes.
Rant: I haven't had my coffee yet. It can't be ready fast enough.
GTKY: 1) TTC. Way too much. 2) Most definitely food. I can't stop thinking about food. 3) My job. I really dislike where I am right now, so trying to make some changes there.
@mrsdaddario sending positive vibes your way! @ahrains I understand why that would be a little scary but I am excited for you! @hezzer78 I think you are right. I am thinking I might stop after I O though just in case. I've only been drinking a mug a day. I think they say two but I am really not enjoying it. I wonder if you can still get the benefits with just one. @hartmich I'll let you know how it goes. I am sure there will be some awkward hilarious story to come out of it. I am pretty much willing to try anything at this point too!
@KirstinH88 Oh, what is this Wii game, Harvest Moon? Perhaps I need to check it out. So over Mario Kart. *sigh*
@jatwal128 Ahh I would be totally annoyed if DH was going to theme parks without me every week! We used to get seasons passes way back and it's one of my favorite things to do!
@hezzer78 I've heard of dietbet and it sounds interesting! Let us know how you like it.

WAYDTGKU: charting, temping, cm, OPKs just arrived!
R/R: We are having out of town visitors this time next week for 4 days, which means cleaning fest begins soon. Yay.
CS/Q: OPKs just came this morning so I hurried them out of the mailbox so I could pee on one first thing! It was a touch short of positive, so I guess I'll try another this afternoon? It seems like it could be soon. Last time I tracked all this was 6 years ago and back then FF was saying I O'd on day 17/18, so in that case I'd still be a week out, but again that was 6 years ago. So just waiting...
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day? 1. DS 2. All the work and crap I have to get done. 3. Food!
@hartmich; my last few cycle lengths have been similar- 36, 32, 31, 33. I'm concerned about missing O day as well so we're just planning on hio as much as possible for 2 solid weeks to hopefully cover any possible O days lol
@aboxofchocolates; I've read that fluid the next morning is most likely cm and not baby batter. The batter should come out fairly soon after sex (if you go to the bathroom afterwards you'll see some of it on the tp) and what's left inside will move on the cervix and beyond or dry in the vaginal canal.
@mrsdaddario; sorry about the disappointing scan. Fx for a good one Monday!
Month/Cycle: 1/1

WAYDTGKU: pnv, hio eod until next week then every day we can
R/R: Rave- I'm just happy it's the weekend and DH won't have to work. We have a lot we need to get done around the house but I doubt we will do any of it. Rant- I wish there was a to be on forums like this and have conversations in real life without unknowingly offending someone or ruining their day. As soon as I figure out what not to say/what to say, someone throws a curve ball.
R/R: opk was dark yesterday, but only half the line. What is up with that??
CS/Q: none. Maybe I'll have some after my blood draw.
GTKY: 1. Buying a house since we're looking 2.) Food 3.) My husband

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CoQ10.
R/R:
CS/Q: I think I'm officially calling CD12/13 a non-ovulation random spike. I'm back down below my coverline and had no O symptoms. Just this morning, DH said that when he was sick last week he thought he had a little bit of a fever so I could have that. Thanks for sharing that days after I've spent all my time wondering about this spike! Sigh.
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day?
1. Food, yum
2. Work (I am fortunate to have a job I love)
3. Starting in June, TTC for sure! All the time and energy I spent on wedding planning transitioned immediately into TTC research.
R/R: I "argued" with FF yesterday about it being CD1. My average LP is 10.5 days so FF predicted AF for today and would not update to count yesterday as CD1 so I had to go to the website and do a manual over ride.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day? 1. TTC/IF 2. Food 3. Science or my cats ... Science cats!
WAYDTGKU: currently nothing, just temping. Will start checking CM when AF ends.
R/R: I already ranted about this earlier in the TWW thread before AF came, but FF took my cross hairs away after a few wonky temps and basically gave up on trying to find any kind of pattern in my chart. Very frustrating but today is a new start so hoping this cycle is better.
The silver lining about having AF today (a few days earlier than predicted) is that my fertile window should hopefully fall in a better spot. FF was originally predicting the entire FW would land during a weekend away with friends, during which our toddler will be sleeping in the room with us. Needless to say that would've made the BD difficult. So this should be better, I hope.
CS/Q: Nah.
GTKY: 1. My son 2. Husband or work, it's a tie 3. TTC, lately. Before, I would've said probably either food or coffee I hope I did this right, it was my first WTO post.

R/R: We are going camping tonight! I can't decide if its a Rant or Rave. I am excited and my husband (29) has never been camping ever. This will be the first trip for DS as well. It is supposed to rain all weekend and we just decided to go yesterday so no packing is done.

@aboxofchocolates to add on to what @Becky012016 said, if you're looking for fertile, ewcm, then typically they say ewcm is stretchy and baby batter is not. So that would be the first thing to look for.

@ahrains I'm sorry the appointment got pushed back but I'm excited that you have it scheduled and can start thinking about next steps!
@mrsdaddario I'm sorry to hear about the bad news you got today. FX for Monday's scan. Also I'm so happy to hear that you advocated for yourself! I know you had some concerns about the IUIs and timing. Did the doctor seem willing to do that for you?
@KirstinH88 It was me! Enjoy. I slacked off and haven't played much this summer because I've been playing Pokemon instead. But ahh I love harvest moon so much. Which one did you get?
@hezzer78 You are correct on the consensus. I actually stop it during the TWW as well but I don't think it's actually necessary. And I know some people drink it through their 1st tri but it would make me too nervous.
@PepperAT Ah, have fun shopping for the party. It is torture but I enjoy it.
@sevenn With those vastly different O days it makes it kind of tough to pin a day to start. I usually start 5-6 days before my suspected O.

@jatwal128 Don't feel bad, I didn't include DH either! HAHA! And #3 on your list. ALL. DAY. LONG.
@mrsdaddario HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Fx that your follies mature by Monday.
@aboxofchocolates I played Harvest Moon last night for two hours. I enjoyed it because of the nostalgia. My only compaints are that its a bit slow, like loading wise and my broad gets tired too fast! Haha! But its just the beginning. I fully plan on playing it tonight once I put DS to bed.
@daisy621 Congrats to DD! Girls playing baseball rule!
@hartmich I also am very consumed in my budgeting. It used to be pretty bad, like all I read about and thought about. Now TTC and the bump have mostly replaced it. But of course the budget is still there. Probably #4 on my list.
@alysapuggles Harvest Moon was a game rolled out way back in the day. Its a farming game. You have a farm and grow crops, have animals, etc. And then you can go into town and "talk" with the locals and buy stuff and whatnot. Its a pretty silly game, but I love it.
@AliciaGoose YES!! Thank yoU!! I got Tree of Tranquility...? Idk..I looked through them, and it seemed like the one that was most like the original as far as game play wise. I may make DH buy me other ones too though. HAHAH!! Fx on O!
Update on having to reschedule my first RE appointment: The first available appointment is September 14. SEPTEMBER. All because I have to go see a "normal" doctor to tell her my OB needs me to go to the RE so that "normal" doctor can issue a referral. I am pissy as hell. GTFO rules and regulations.

A funny for you: I was picking up more matcha (green tea) and DH asked why I get it and I jokingly said "not telling" and laughed and he's like "oh ya right, making babies? Let me guess, it makes you super fertile?" Haha, he's on to me lmao CS/Q: maybe after my OPKs?
GTKY: 1. Always TTC, all the time. As pp have said, probably too much lol 2. Food. 3. I also have a tie with DH and the dogs lol
@ahrains Ahh what a nightmare from your insurance! Good luck.
@rainbowturtles Is the powdered matcha better than other types of green tea? I've just been drinking the Bigelow bags they have for free at work... (And I love your GIF)
@aboxofchocolates lurking from TWW. But I did some research on baby batter vs. CM. Everything I've read says that after 12 hours, it can be assumed it is CM.
For the love of God can we please stop referring to semen as baby batter. You are totally ruining cake batter anything and *insert ew gif* (because I still don't know how to gif on mobile)

Mature follicles are between 18mm-25mm. At this point last cycle I had two mature follicles. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed. I'll go back Monday to see if there's any growth, but I'm not feeling too confident. If I do go and there is no growth, they'll have me take another five days of Letrozole at the 10mg a day dose. The first cycle I took 5mg of Letrozole twice with no response, but when they bumped me up to 7.5mg I popped two mature follicles. So I'm assuming if I do need to go onto to take 10mg, it will pop the follicles. I also advocated for myself and asked if the actual doctor could do my IUI this time. The first two times nurses did them. I really want to discuss how I would like a more personal approach to our infertility, and not just be seen by any nurse who happens to be available.

@ahrains FX for you and your appointment Monday!
Month/Cycle: 5/5
CD: 3 (I mistakenly put 1 yesterday but it should have been 2)
WAYDTGKU: charting, temping, OPKs, preseed, gonna start RRL tea
R/R: Feeling a bit better today. Decided to refocus on my diet and food choices today because the past week they got derailed pretty badly. Joined a dietbet (which may have been a dumb idea) but I like the motivation.
Got dance rehearsal at 11 today - which will be nice as I haven't done it all week due to AF issues and pains.
CS/Q: So I'm starting RRL tea this month. I know this topic has been beaten to death (and tons of people ask), but I'm pretty sure the consensus is to use it while TTC, then once you get BFP, stop until 2nd or 3rd tri - right? So many different things out there - but that's what I've gleaned. Maybe wrongly.
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day?
What's for breakfast?
What's for lunch?
What's for dinner?
HA - JK. Kinda. Probably the what's for dinner one is applicable - I also think about DH and how much I need to get done before I can retire to the couch with netflix.
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM and vites for now.
R/R: Preseed and wondfo opks arrived yesterday! DH and I had a good laugh about using the lube because we never have before and it just sort of grosses me out for some reason. Heres to new experiences! lol
CS/Q:
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day?
1. TTC
2. Food - I am always concerned about where my next meal is coming from.
3. This one is probably a tie between work which is constant and DH because I genuinely like talking to him and being in frequent contact.
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: Temping, Checking CM, Vitex, Sex, Waiting for my Drs. appt.
R/R: Going to a potluck BBQ at one of DH's friend's tonight. I'm not great with parties of people I don't know, but I know I need to get outside my comfort zone so... mentally preparing myself.
CS/Q: Just you know, WTO. FF thinks I will O around my birthday (Aug. 4th).
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day?

@Saralee797 We've never used lube either and I haven't really considered preseed yet. But who knows, I'm willing to try almost anything. Good luck!
@jatwal128 I'm also jealous I can't go to a theme park!
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 7
WAYDTGKU: FWP starts this weekend
R/R: My past 3 cycles have been 30, 35, and 31 days. While this is not anything extreme, I just get nervous that I will "miss" O if it happens earlier this month.
CS/Q: Nah
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day?
TTC (sigh)
Budgeting - we need to save up a lot of cash for our next house and I get obsessive over the spreadsheet and projections, etc.
The dog/DH - it's a tie!
Month/ Cycle: 12/13
CD:5
WAYDTGKU: Still waiting. After this weekend I will be starting all the damn things!
R/R: Rave: It freakin' Friday and I can't wait for this day to be over so that I can start the weekend. My BF's little boy just turned One and the party is this weekend, which means I get to go and look for a cute little gift and torture myself. She is also asking me to make a little backdrop for her and I am so not crafty, so we will see how this goes.
Rant: I haven't had my coffee yet. It can't be ready fast enough.
GTKY:
1) TTC. Way too much.
2) Most definitely food. I can't stop thinking about food.
3) My job. I really dislike where I am right now, so trying to make some changes there.

@ahrains I understand why that would be a little scary but I am excited for you!
@hezzer78 I think you are right. I am thinking I might stop after I O though just in case. I've only been drinking a mug a day. I think they say two but I am really not enjoying it. I wonder if you can still get the benefits with just one.
@hartmich I'll let you know how it goes. I am sure there will be some awkward hilarious story to come out of it. I am pretty much willing to try anything at this point too!
@jatwal128 Ahh I would be totally annoyed if DH was going to theme parks without me every week! We used to get seasons passes way back and it's one of my favorite things to do!
@hezzer78 I've heard of dietbet and it sounds interesting! Let us know how you like it.
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: charting, temping, cm, OPKs just arrived!
R/R: We are having out of town visitors this time next week for 4 days, which means cleaning fest begins soon. Yay.
CS/Q: OPKs just came this morning so I hurried them out of the mailbox so I could pee on one first thing! It was a touch short of positive, so I guess I'll try another this afternoon? It seems like it could be soon. Last time I tracked all this was 6 years ago and back then FF was saying I O'd on day 17/18, so in that case I'd still be a week out, but again that was 6 years ago. So just waiting...
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day?
1. DS
2. All the work and crap I have to get done.
3. Food!
Me: 36 DH: 41
@aboxofchocolates; I've read that fluid the next morning is most likely cm and not baby batter. The batter should come out fairly soon after sex (if you go to the bathroom afterwards you'll see some of it on the tp) and what's left inside will move on the cervix and beyond or dry in the vaginal canal.
@mrsdaddario; sorry about the disappointing scan. Fx for a good one Monday!
Month/Cycle: 1/1
CD: 9
WAYDTGKU: pnv, hio eod until next week then every day we can
R/R: Rave- I'm just happy it's the weekend and DH won't have to work. We have a lot we need to get done around the house but I doubt we will do any of it.
Rant- I wish there was a to be on forums like this and have conversations in real life without unknowingly offending someone or ruining their day. As soon as I figure out what not to say/what to say, someone throws a curve ball.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: 1. Food 2. Exercise 3. Food
CD: 21
WAYDTGKU: Clomid, all the usual
R/R: opk was dark yesterday, but only half the line. What is up with that??
CS/Q: none. Maybe I'll have some after my blood draw.
GTKY: 1. Buying a house since we're looking
2.) Food
3.) My husband
Clomid 50;100;150;200: No O

Sorry for the mostly bad news on the thread so far today... Good luck and FX for you guys.
Month/Cycle: 2/2

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CoQ10.
R/R:
CS/Q: I think I'm officially calling CD12/13 a non-ovulation random spike. I'm back down below my coverline and had no O symptoms. Just this morning, DH said that when he was sick last week he thought he had a little bit of a fever so I could have that. Thanks for sharing that days after I've spent all my time wondering about this spike! Sigh.
GTKY: What three things do you think of the most each day?
1. Food, yum
2. Work (I am fortunate to have a job I love)
3. Starting in June, TTC for sure! All the time and energy I spent on wedding planning transitioned immediately into TTC research.
Me: 36 DH: 41
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: currently nothing, just temping. Will start checking CM when AF ends.
R/R: I already ranted about this earlier in the TWW thread before AF came, but FF took my cross hairs away after a few wonky temps and basically gave up on trying to find any kind of pattern in my chart. Very frustrating but today is a new start so hoping this cycle is better.
The silver lining about having AF today (a few days earlier than predicted) is that my fertile window should hopefully fall in a better spot. FF was originally predicting the entire FW would land during a weekend away with friends, during which our toddler will be sleeping in the room with us. Needless to say that would've made the BD difficult. So this should be better, I hope.
CS/Q: Nah.
GTKY: 1. My son
2. Husband or work, it's a tie
3. TTC, lately. Before, I would've said probably either food or coffee
I hope I did this right, it was my first WTO post.

@mrsdaddario I'm sorry to hear about the bad news you got today. FX for Monday's scan. Also I'm so happy to hear that you advocated for yourself! I know you had some concerns about the IUIs and timing. Did the doctor seem willing to do that for you?
@KirstinH88 It was me! Enjoy. I slacked off and haven't played much this summer because I've been playing Pokemon instead. But ahh I love harvest moon so much. Which one did you get?
@hezzer78 You are correct on the consensus. I actually stop it during the TWW as well but I don't think it's actually necessary. And I know some people drink it through their 1st tri but it would make me too nervous.
@PepperAT Ah, have fun shopping for the party. It is torture but I enjoy it.
@sevenn With those vastly different O days it makes it kind of tough to pin a day to start. I usually start 5-6 days before my suspected O.

A funny for you: I was picking up more matcha (green tea) and DH asked why I get it and I jokingly said "not telling" and laughed and he's like "oh ya right, making babies? Let me guess, it makes you super fertile?" Haha, he's on to me lmao
CS/Q: maybe after my OPKs?

@rainbowturtles Is the powdered matcha better than other types of green tea? I've just been drinking the Bigelow bags they have for free at work... (And I love your GIF)
