@mrsdaddario Yes!! Moes is the best. I hope you are soaking up vacation. Don't worry about us, we'll be here when you get back! Also I've been following your updates about the injectables and all that. Glad you found an option that will work best for you this cycle! FX you never need those injectables

I'm sorry to drive by post...insane day and I'll read/reply tonight, but I have a newbie question.
i just found EWCM! I'm on day 12. Opks are still negative and no temp spike. I won't see DH until tomorrow night. Obviously it varies person to person but is EWCM usually a couple days or is it just a day then I'm done? I'm so bummed if we're missing our chance :-:
Everyone is different. This month I got it on CD 9, and then it went to just being wet, then I got EWCM once more today (CD 12) which is my ovulation day
@rainbowturtles I'm totes trying the deodorant thing! & even if it doesn't work, I'll be fresh down there for DH... I just looked up "fresh" on gipfy... This was too funny for me to not include, although not really related to ^^.
to all the waxers... Our closest Brazilian wax offered is an hour and a half away. is it worth that and $60? Maybe I should just move to France & keep it "au' natural".
@scarlett830 I use DH's trimmers too. FFFC confession here in the WTO Tuesday! hahaha!
@melissam090 that's totally what I'm starting to do! I was trying to take pictures but I was struggling with it!Thanks @Mrsdaddario for the suggestion!

GTKY: What three items are Always in your purse? Haha I actually JUST recently started carrying a purse. Before this I used my diaper bag or pockets or van.

You can start B6 any time. It's a pretty typical vitamin included in multivitamins for all people, but I've read it helps to have extra when you are TTC and pregnant.

R/R: Being on the bench during FW with a long cycle sucks. I know some people have longer cycles than my 32ish days and I'd actually like to not see AF as often as ladies with a shorter cycle, when I'm not TTC, but waiting to O stinks. I know it is coming soon because my hormones are throwing my body out of whack like every other month. Two days ago I got weepy while watching Southpaw because of how good a mom she was. Yesterday I started getting a headache. Today it's my wisdom teeth bugging me. Tomorrow will be hot flashes and trouble sleeping. Then it's O. Pretty predictable pattern.
CS/Q: nope, this one doesn't matter
GTKY: What three items are always in your purse? I think cell phone, wallet, and keys are obvious... So I'll say eyeliner, Excedrin, and Chapstick.
@tripledaggerWed95976 My temp actually drops when I drink instead of rising. I can still tell when I O and I usually have a decently dramatic rise. (last two months were .7 and 1 degree change in one day) @TravelingCouple Fx for you!
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: We finally had a quick chance to BD last night. My 3 year old will not stay in her room and we were kind of worried she may have walked in at the end. Lesson learned in shutting and locking our door from here on out. I have 1 OPK left, hoping the others come in the mail sooner than the Saturday projected delivery date.

@BitterBetty12@mrsdaddario this is what I take (sorry I'm on mobile). I've been taking it daily for ~2 months and still have plenty left. This container was like $15 on Amazon. The serving size is 1/4 teaspoon (600mg) but I take more than that because everything that I read online for PCOS suggested more
@nytino24 it's interesting, I've actually heard quite a few people say that- I'm not sure why, but for me every time I drink my temp sky rockets the next day.
I'm with @tripledaggerWed95976 -- when I drink in the evening, my temp increases, usually by 0.3 or so. If I drink in the afternoon or have just a glass of wine or so with dinner, then I don't see a difference.
@mokay19 @mrsdaddario @BitterBetty12 This is the one DH and I take. We try to get 2 1/4 tsp or 2 grams) 2x daily. Similar price I think, also off Amazon. (Sorry if it's huge) <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/ef/sh7zyt7ga4mf.jpg" alt=""> I think it was maybe around $22 for a pound, actually. Something like that.
to all the waxers... Our closest Brazilian wax offered is an hour and a half away. is it worth that and $60? Maybe I should just move to France & keep it "au' natural".
This is the greatest gif I've ever seen.
And an hour and a half?? Naw, wouldn't be worth it to me. I'd just trim and tell H he's SOL and deal with it.

@Sirius37 you are fine for your annual during your TWW.
@eggplantface you are perfectly fine to continue your high intensity workouts. I promise you do not throw yourself around at the velocity that would do any kind of damage at all.
@eggplantface super boondocks liver here haha. We have a spa about 25 minutes away, but they only do massages, mani/pedi, hair, & facial waxing. Closest city is over an hrs away. Boooooo.
I tried deodorant. Didn't help a super lot & I believe tonight will be BD only bc FW. I get this bright idea like once a year to shave. & every time I'm miserable. Haha dumb!

I did 6 professional sessions before my wedding, and it was ah-mazing. Honestly the cost was comparable to waxing because I got some kind of Gilt City or Living Social deal, and I loved it. If you're not familiar, you shave everything as absolutely down bare as you can (hurts less this way), and then they laser it. It targets the pigment in your hair, and basically the hair falls out as it grows. For me it wasn't permanent, but it did significantly reduce the hair "at the edges" permanently (my bikini line used to extend a fair distance past my bikini, so to speak), and after 6 treatments, I didn't have to shave or wax or anything again for SIX MONTHS. No razor burn or ingrown hairs during the laser hair removal process, either. I know it's not for everyone. I know no one ever listens to me about this. But seriously. Best thing ever. I bought the at home Tria thing a while back, and it definitely doesn't work as well, but when I've used it like it says to (every 10-14 days?), it's great. I'm lazy, though, so... I honestly rarely even shave my legs let alone anything else.
@MotherofDragons Thank you! I think I might have gotten a reaction from Preseed so I'm very interested. Does coconut oil lead to a risk of yeast infections, though?
