WAYDTGKU: HIO starting yesterday. Preseed is new to the action plan. Plus vitamins etc.
R/R: My little sister is engaged! The party was super nice and I'm just so happy for her!! I posted a picture in weekend randoms.
CS/Q: this is the earliest I've ever had a positive OPK. Got the smiley this morning. I have had a couple days of EWCM but I was in denial about possibly Oing because it's just so early for me. I added B6 and RRLT this cycle and I think it might be working. So it's all goooood! I drank quite a bit last night celebrating and my temp was sky high this morning so I can't tell if it's an O spike or not. Couple days should tell.
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? Straight up emotional last night when my sister got engaged but I guess that's not irrational. I always cry when I see other people cry. I'd have to say that I completely choked up at an old video someone posted on fb of a runner who tore his hamstring midrace and still finished. Wish I could remember his name. Anyway I'm a sucker for those kinds of things.
WAYDTGKU: apparently too much for DH... BBT, OPK, CM, preseed...
R/R: So we were doing EOD until I got a positive OPK yesterday and then yesterday would switch us to ED. We were doin' the BD and almost finished when DH got a LEG CRAMP. A freaking LEG CRAMP are you kidding?! So that KILLED it. We let him chill for a bit and tried again, but he just wasn't with it. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! Oh, AND today the OPK was negative...so we probably missed O day. Boo! And now he's upset with me, so not sure we'll get a +1 day either. :'(
CS/Q: Nopers.
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? Clearly from my R/R above, it was the leg issue and DH getting too stressed out about stuff. He gets really into his head and doesn't "perform" as well when he KNOWS we're doing it close to O. Apparently I just can't tell him, and he does fine. AGH! Hope you're all having better luck than me.
R/R: Nothing to see here. It's the boring part of this ttc party
CS/Q: Nothing today!
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? Watching nature documentaries - every time something dies especially if it's a baby or sick animal.
@KhRun17 Most people O a day or two after their + OPK, so it's more likely that today is O day than yesterday. Tell DH to suck it up and rally the troop!
R/R: Not a lot to say today. Lazy Sunday ahead including cooking brunch with my DH at home, catching up on some work, doing laundry (it never ends), and working out later.
CS/Q:
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? There was a possible stray kitten on our back porch two nights ago. Our neighborhood has a lot of outdoor cats that are clearly domesticated and some strays, so it's hard to tell...we don't have any kids/dogs and live on 1/2 acre so our property tends to be a popular/quiet place for the cats to be, which doesn't bother me since they keep to themselves. But this one was a baby/puff ball of fur and right at our back door. It was clearly panting and 95 degrees so I tried to put a little water out for it but it saw me and ran off. Then maybe an hour later it began thunderstorming bad and I just kept worrying/feeling so bad that I chased it away and started crying just a little for the poor thing. It was also CD1 so I have some hormones to blame in the matter.
R/R: going hiking with hub & pup today after an awesome breakfast of primerib & eggs. Happy Sunday fellow bumpers.
CS/Q: nothing currently. CD 1 sucked yesterday but at least I know what my body is doing.
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? I'm an overly emotional person. I cry when I'm sad, happy, angry, etc. The last time was probably yesterday when the damn Sarah McLachlan commercial came on about saving all the animals.
@KhRun17 ^^^ what @AliciaGoose said. Get on it! @antoto Same with the nature stuff. Like, I get it, it's the circle of life (everybody raise up a lion cub) but I don't want to see it.

R/R: I woke up with a stuffy nose this morning, I really hope I'm not getting sick. I am going to O any day now and this would really mess up the plan.
CS/Q:
GTKY: I get irrationally emotional all the time. DH is a saint for putting up with me, I just blame it on hormones. I almost cried last week because I thought we were out of coffee in the morning and than my H found an extra tin in the pantry and I almost cried happy tears!
@antoto Uh! That nature documentaries get me all the time too. I get super upset when they show animals being hunted by other animals. I know it is part of nature, but it seems so cruel. @KhRun17 A leg cramp?! WTH! Maybe don't bring it up today, so that he doesn't feel pressured and just work your magic. Get it girl! @Saralee797 Congrats to your little sister! Glad to hear that everything worked out well. That's so exciting.
R/R: My second line on my opks are getting darker. Thinking O day is going to be possibly today or tomorrow. Which doesn't really matter because today is literally the first/only chance we have had to possibly bd. So timing is terrible regardless of whether or not we make it happen today.
CS/Q: None today.
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? Hahaha I have been loving the GTKY questions lately! Mine for this is similar to @PepperAT. Except it was coffee creamer I cried over because we were out. But I get irrationally emotional about 99% of things. DH says being with me is entertaining.
@krisnicole23 lol Last night I asked my H why he married me and he said for his own entertainment. He said he would never leave me because his life would be boring without me... I was all like, thanks? I guess we gotta keep things interesting! They are the ones that married us, so maybe they are a little crazy too?
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? The wait for an appointment with my new RE. I hung up the phone and started sobbing so hard DH thought I got new that someone had died.
@aliciagoose hope your TWW is going well and you don't come back to wto. Thanks for the tip! @ahrains and @pepperat I think I might just try to get him into it tonight and see what happens... here's hoping!
WAYDTGKU: Nothing right this moment. I'm still taking prenatals and just trying to keep my body strong.
R/R: I've had a great weekend with my husband. We were both hurting from everything, and he's the only person in the world I want to be around right now. We went to a couple movies and did some shopping together. We found things to laugh about, and it was nice.
CS/Q: None right now.
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? I don't really want to answer this. I've been very emotional recently, and I think it's perfectly justified and not irrational.
@khrun17 Leg cramps are a real thing for both DH and me! I have a herniated disc and SI joint dysfunction, so being in certain positions for too long can be a problem. For DH, it's dehydration and tight hamstrings. We never know when one or both of us will have one, but we try to slow down and keep going if possible. Gotta power through it!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
WAYDTGKU: OPK, just ordered a basal temp thermometer, PNV, CM
R/R: My cat had to make an emergency run to the vet, she had an ingrown nail that was going into her pad. Luckily, we caught it right away before it got too deep or infected, and they just snipped it and pulled it out (and trimmed the rest of her claws!). They also didn't charge us, which I was pretty amazed by.
CS/Q: Is it okay to start recording temps after my period? My thermometer isn't arriving until Wednesday which will probably will be just after my period ends. Will it affect my chart a lot?
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about?
probably my upstairs neighbors. they came downstairs the other day and knocked on our door to tell us they "weren't being loud and they talk quietly", except hey - if I can clearly make out your conversation as you shout it to each other you are probably loud and not talking quietly. APARTMENT LIVING!

@NYTino24 - I'm 99% sure it's dehydration and tight muscles for DH here too. I tried to get him to stretch it out last night, and drink water and he was like "that won't help". Stubborn men.
R/R: I'm not sure what I did to it, but I've been up since like 4:30 am with crazy back pain.
CS/Q: For those that have done IUIs, do you still temp?
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? The other day we went to a bar with some friends. One of the friends loves to go to this place without anything else near it so we had to drive out there and then drive other places and I was irritated we couldn't just go to a bar with other stuff near it so driving wasn't involved.
DD born PPROM preemie at 36 weeks on 10/1/17 after over a year TI, then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW, because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
@Captainfoxtrot I just started temping on CD 9 and figured even if it happens to be too late to see the temp shift for O it will get me into the habit of temping every morning. Also, I don't miss apartment living, I remember having to deal with idiot neighbors. Hopefully they decide not to renew their lease.
Month/Cycle: 3/3

WAYDTGKU: all the normal stuff
R/R: I went for a short run for the first time in several months this morning. It was horrible but I have to remember a bad run is better than not running at all!

@lulu1180 That's a good point! I currently have my alarm set at 7am everyday anyways, so I need to get in the habit of temping. I'm hoping I'll be able to see that temp shift for O, as I'd like to have more evidence I'm actually O'ing.
I hate apartment living. If I can't get a house by the end of my lease, I'm hoping to at least find a top level apartment at some point.

@mrsdee15 I kept temping during my IUI cycles, but it isn't necessary since you're monitored. If you are taking meds for the IUI than those can impact your temps
@captainfoxtrot some women temp vaginally and don't start until their period has finished. There should be no problem starting later this week once your thermometer arrives!
ETA @mrsdee15 I also temped during my IUI. I noticed my temp rise was a little shady after the trigger shot, but I still kept temping out of habit. I will continue to temp with my next IUI as well.

WAYDTGKU: CM, CP, BBT, OPK, RRL Tea, and thinking about adding CoQ10
R/R: Welp. I'm back. And my LP was only 9 days. So I can add that to the list of things I'm stressed about right now.
CS/Q: Nadda
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? I get irrationally emotionally at least once a day and usually over nothing. Today it was a post about my best friend from elementary schools mom and step dad who just seperated. He wrote her a note because it would have been their anniversary today. Cue water works.
@AliciaGoose I'm sorry we are cycle buddies and you are here too.
Sorry to post and ghost today, but I have a full bottle of raspberry lambic with my name on it. Hoping to get drunk, watch the Olympics, and come up for air tomorrow.
Cycle/Month: 3/2
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: Temping,
CoQ10, green tea; just ordered some FertilityBlend vitex
R/R: After 36 hours of brown spotting, AF is here in full force. As I said in TWW yesterday, I'm depressed about this one, less because I am not PG (though I of course was hoping) than because I had a 23-day cycle with a 6-day luteal phase. The cycle before also had a 6-day luteal phase. Not sure how I could ever get pregnant with this.
I ordered some vitex -- the FertilityBlend brand since NIH did a randomized controlled trial of it that produced positive impacts on pregnancy and other outcomes. Have any of you tried it before?
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? I can't believe I have to choose just one, and even worse, that it was only last night. One of our kittens knocked over my cup of coffee and I sobbed. Hysterically. Though I am an overly emotional irrational person, so these are common with me.
R/R: My first AF after getting off BC is miserable, can't wait until my body gets back on track!
CS/Q: Is this for questions? I looked at both of the pages about acronyms but didn't find this one. If it is, there is my question
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? On Friday night I just wanted to hang out at home. My husband had made plans to go bowling with coworkers. I moaned and groaned (very irrationally) for about 2 hours and then we went and had a lot of fun. So lots of whining for no reason! My poor DH has to deal with a lot of whining and groaning from me.
So sorry to see you here, @AliciaGoose and @adirat. Treat yourselves today. And @adirat, I've never tried Vitex but have been thinking of trying it next cycle. I did read that it can take months before your body fully benefits from the effects of it. Anyways, I know this isn't of much use to you but I guess I'm curious to hear other ladies' experiences with it, as well.
@jeg07 yes! We added this only recently. It's the place to ask a question or for a chart stalk but keep in mind that a lot of questions can be answered by lurking or searching the boards. Welcome!!
@KhRun17 last night DH got lube on the floor while putting it on, then stepped in it, and when he was about to go in was freaking out that it felt weird on his foot so we started laughing (well I did and he followed suit) so he got up to clean his foot off then lost it and it took a few mins to get it back but then the lube had absorbed into my skin as I got him ready. We were able to BD but I swear it was the least romantic sex we've ever had lol My CP is slowly getting higher/softer so I was like "Just fill 'er up"
@magnolia131 I hate laundry. We're just two people and get almost a load a day but our washer doesn't hold much.
@Captainfoxtrot I hate how vets nickel and dime you. Our vet here in Korea is great but back in NH it was $80 for a check up fee plus all the vaccinations. Here I walk in and they'll look at her for free and it's under $20 per vaccination and $10 for monthly heart worm and flea preventative (combined). Also hate apartment living. We've been hearing a smoke alarm chirping that needs a battery changed but it's not ours. I just realized that I think the apartment above us is vacant so no one is there, gotta text our realtor about it so he can tell the landlord (language barrier)
@lulu1180 I always tell myself any workout I do is better than sitting on my couch
Month/Cycle: 2/2
CD: 8
WAYDTGKU: RRL, BD ED/EOD, PNV, Preseed
R/R: My dog woke me up at 2:30 last night and I fell back to sleep at 5:40......and my alarm went off at 6. Of course the whole time I was tossing and turning, she was fast asleep on my pillow.
Funny story, I got a text in the middle of the night from a number I didn't know asking for me to send a pic. I was totally freaked out because only like 4 people in the States have my Korean number. It ended up being my 13 year old sister who wanted to post a picture of me on instagram for international sisters day.
Trying to get as much BD in as possible and hoping I O earlier rather than later. DH has a hectic work schedule coming up and I have a feeling O will come then.
CS/Q: Nada
GTKY: I cried last month when we missed -3 timing because DH couldn't have morning sex before rushing to work. We were pretty much out for the month anyway because my IUD was removed on CD 14. It's CD 8 now and my CP and CM are already getting fertile so I probably completely missed O last month and what I thought was O was probably hormone fluctuations from having the IUD removed.
R/R: FF is claiming I o'd on the 4th. Based on EWCM, I'm thinking it was more the 5th or 6th. So I'm going to hold out on here for at least another day to see what happens with my temps. I worked really hard to get Hubs up, pun intended, for BD this weekend (his mom passed 3 weeks ago). He works nights, so I knew last night would be our last go until Thursday. I would hate to have basically guilted him for me to have O'd a day or two early.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? Probably the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics. In particular the fireworks. I don't know why but it made me cry. The different nations all coming together, under one roof, something they have worked their whole lives for, ugh world peace, underdog stories, and what not. Hubs thinks it's hysterical. But seriously the Olympics get me every time.
R/R: After days of spotting, AF finally decided to show. I'm only happy because it means I'm that much closer to the next attempt.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? Probably last week on a weekday morning, I winged out a bit on DH for something (explaining my chart) completely unrelated to what I was actually upset about (my dad's current cancer treatment). Completely random to the point I didn't even see it coming, but we talked it out though so all is well again.

WAYDTGKU: OPK, just ordered a basal temp thermometer, PNV, CM
R/R: My cat had to make an emergency run to the vet, she had an ingrown nail that was going into her pad. Luckily, we caught it right away before it got too deep or infected, and they just snipped it and pulled it out (and trimmed the rest of her claws!). They also didn't charge us, which I was pretty amazed by.
CS/Q: Is it okay to start recording temps after my period? My thermometer isn't arriving until Wednesday which will probably will be just after my period ends. Will it affect my chart a lot?
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about?
probably my upstairs neighbors. they came downstairs the other day and knocked on our door to tell us they "weren't being loud and they talk quietly", except hey - if I can clearly make out your conversation as you shout it to each other you are probably loud and not talking quietly. APARTMENT LIVING!

WAYDTGKU: Nothing yet.
R/R: I'm not sure what I did to it, but I've been up since like 4:30 am with crazy back pain.
CS/Q: For those that have done IUIs, do you still temp?
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? The other day we went to a bar with some friends. One of the friends loves to go to this place without anything else near it so we had to drive out there and then drive other places and I was irritated we couldn't just go to a bar with other stuff near it so driving wasn't involved.
then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.
Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,

R/R: I went for a short run for the first time in several months this morning. It was horrible but I have to remember a bad run is better than not running at all!

GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? I don't remember exactly what it was but probably something related to the wedding

I hate apartment living. If I can't get a house by the end of my lease, I'm hoping to at least find a top level apartment at some point.

ETA @mrsdee15 I also temped during my IUI. I noticed my temp rise was a little shady after the trigger shot, but I still kept temping out of habit. I will continue to temp with my next IUI as well.

WAYDTGKU: CM, CP, BBT, OPK, RRL Tea, and thinking about adding CoQ10
R/R: Welp. I'm back. And my LP was only 9 days. So I can add that to the list of things I'm stressed about right now.
CS/Q: Nadda
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about?
I get irrationally emotionally at least once a day and usually over nothing. Today it was a post about my best friend from elementary schools mom and step dad who just seperated. He wrote her a note because it would have been their anniversary today. Cue water works.

Sorry to post and ghost today, but I have a full bottle of raspberry lambic with my name on it. Hoping to get drunk, watch the Olympics, and come up for air tomorrow.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CoQ10, green tea; just ordered some FertilityBlend vitex
R/R: After 36 hours of brown spotting, AF is here in full force. As I said in TWW yesterday, I'm depressed about this one, less because I am not PG (though I of course was hoping) than because I had a 23-day cycle with a 6-day luteal phase. The cycle before also had a 6-day luteal phase. Not sure how I could ever get pregnant with this.
I ordered some vitex -- the FertilityBlend brand since NIH did a randomized controlled trial of it that produced positive impacts on pregnancy and other outcomes. Have any of you tried it before?

CS/Q:
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? I can't believe I have to choose just one, and even worse, that it was only last night. One of our kittens knocked over my cup of coffee and I sobbed. Hysterically. Though I am an overly emotional irrational person, so these are common with me.

R/R: My first AF after getting off BC is miserable, can't wait until my body gets back on track!
CS/Q: Is this for questions? I looked at both of the pages about acronyms but didn't find this one. If it is, there is my question
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? On Friday night I just wanted to hang out at home. My husband had made plans to go bowling with coworkers. I moaned and groaned (very irrationally) for about 2 hours and then we went and had a lot of fun. So lots of whining for no reason! My poor DH has to deal with a lot of whining and groaning from me.
@jeg07 yes! We added this only recently. It's the place to ask a question or for a chart stalk but keep in mind that a lot of questions can be answered by lurking or searching the boards. Welcome!!
@KhRun17 last night DH got lube on the floor while putting it on, then stepped in it, and when he was about to go in was freaking out that it felt weird on his foot so we started laughing (well I did and he followed suit) so he got up to clean his foot off then lost it and it took a few mins to get it back but then the lube had absorbed into my skin as I got him ready. We were able to BD but I swear it was the least romantic sex we've ever had lol My CP is slowly getting higher/softer so I was like "Just fill 'er up"
@magnolia131 I hate laundry. We're just two people and get almost a load a day but our washer doesn't hold much.
@Captainfoxtrot I hate how vets nickel and dime you. Our vet here in Korea is great but back in NH it was $80 for a check up fee plus all the vaccinations. Here I walk in and they'll look at her for free and it's under $20 per vaccination and $10 for monthly heart worm and flea preventative (combined). Also hate apartment living. We've been hearing a smoke alarm chirping that needs a battery changed but it's not ours. I just realized that I think the apartment above us is vacant so no one is there, gotta text our realtor about it so he can tell the landlord (language barrier)
@lulu1180 I always tell myself any workout I do is better than sitting on my couch

WAYDTGKU: RRL, BD ED/EOD, PNV, Preseed
R/R: My dog woke me up at 2:30 last night and I fell back to sleep at 5:40......and my alarm went off at 6. Of course the whole time I was tossing and turning, she was fast asleep on my pillow.
Funny story, I got a text in the middle of the night from a number I didn't know asking for me to send a pic. I was totally freaked out because only like 4 people in the States have my Korean number. It ended up being my 13 year old sister who wanted to post a picture of me on instagram for international sisters day.
Trying to get as much BD in as possible and hoping I O earlier rather than later. DH has a hectic work schedule coming up and I have a feeling O will come then.
CS/Q: Nada
GTKY: I cried last month when we missed -3 timing because DH couldn't have morning sex before rushing to work. We were pretty much out for the month anyway because my IUD was removed on CD 14. It's CD 8 now and my CP and CM are already getting fertile so I probably completely missed O last month and what I thought was O was probably hormone fluctuations from having the IUD removed.

WAYDTGKU: sexing
R/R: FF is claiming I o'd on the 4th. Based on EWCM, I'm thinking it was more the 5th or 6th. So I'm going to hold out on here for at least another day to see what happens with my temps. I worked really hard to get Hubs up, pun intended, for BD this weekend (his mom passed 3 weeks ago). He works nights, so I knew last night would be our last go until Thursday. I would hate to have basically guilted him for me to have O'd a day or two early.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about? Probably the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics. In particular the fireworks. I don't know why but it made me cry. The different nations all coming together, under one roof, something they have worked their whole lives for, ugh world peace, underdog stories, and what not. Hubs thinks it's hysterical. But seriously the Olympics get me every time.

R/R: After days of spotting, AF finally decided to show. I'm only happy because it means I'm that much closer to the next attempt.
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: What was the last thing you got irrationally emotional about?
Probably last week on a weekday morning, I winged out a bit on DH for something (explaining my chart) completely unrelated to what I was actually upset about (my dad's current cancer treatment). Completely random to the point I didn't even see it coming, but we talked it out though so all is well again.
