@Sugargirl1019 OMG hahahaha. Probably. lol. I hated using those stupid tampons too. What a nuisance. I can't believe I used to wear them. So uncomfortable and awful.

BaileyM321 · October 2016

@wabash15 Ugh, weird! Maybe it was just a random 9-day AF... but it had become light flow by the end of CD 4, and then I took the first letrozole dose on CD 5 and by that evening AF had become medium flow again. It stayed medium flow through the whole next 3 days, returned to light on the last day of the letrozole dose, and didn't stop until over 12 hours after the last letrozole dose. It was brown and clumpy and weird the last few days, too, not at all like my usual AF pattern. I guess I should mention it to my RE.

GeorgiaWife6912 · October 2016

I'm sorry I disappeared! I'm mobile bumping and cant tag everyone but y'all... your support means so much! I know I'm a newbie again on the board but y'all are awesome! I'm hoping this is just a super long cycle and that I can get on with O soon. And if now that it's just a random annovulatory one and AF comes soon! I don't have any upcoming appts with my gyno, but if I hit 60 days without AF or I don't O next cycle, I will definitely put in a call to her.

Edit: After thinking for a minute, I realized it HAD been a while since my last annual appointment so I called and I am actually scheduled for November 3rd. Hopefully SOMETHING happens before then since it's still a month away!

wabash15 · October 2016

@baileym321 it might be worth mentioning to your RE. I had letrozol for 6 rounds and never saw a change in AF. good luck with your scan this week. Fx for only 1-2 follies so you can keep doing your IUI

@KristoB & @Sugargirl1019 I assume you both use menstrual cups during AF too? I'll never go back to tampons/pads (well except if I have a baby and have to right after). Love my cup!

edit: autocorrect sucks!

hartmich · October 2016

@lund I'm sorry but I laughed at your pee cup story. Sometimes when I'm peeing in a cup, I just sit there is disbelief that these are the lengths we go to to get KU.

@kat0607 I love the song! I don't even remember how I came across it but I'm just in love. It's so beautiful.

I know, right!?! When I dropped it "wow, am I really going to have to clean my own pee off the floor?" was the first thing that ran through my mind. I definitely didn't share my woes with DH...

laurad75 · October 2016

@LuND @hartmich Over the weekend I was peeing on an CVS OPK where you pee on the strip and then put the cover on while you wait. As I put the cover on it somehow splashed pee all over me... and in my face. That's just who I am now. So much of my life revolves around peeing on things that eventually I'm gonna get some in the face.

Sugargirl1019 · October 2016

@bumpybump Yup, we are starting a revolution.

tlunceford123116 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/3

CD: 1

WAYDTGKU: EOD, PNV, temping & charting

R/R: it's Monday & CD 1

CS/Q: not today

GTKY: What is one of your favorite song lyrics? I actually have no idea!

lund · October 2016

@laurad75 & @hartmich it seems so gross now, but if we're lucky enough to get KU, coming into contact with our own pee will likely be the least of our "gross" worries

hartmich · October 2016

@laurad75 My friend was just talking about how little boys pee on you while changing their diapers. Foreshadowing, perhaps?!

MrsDorkCharming · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 5/4

CD: 1.... ugh. As wonderful as you all are, I did not want to be back here again or so quickly (9 day luteal phase

)

WAYDTGKU: Not much at the moment.

R/R: I got into a fight with an old man at Costco this morning..... I accidentally bumped into him with my cart at the entrance. I genuinely apologized. He kept trying to pick a fight with me. I called him an a**hole then burst into tears. 20 minutes later my period started. I'm on the couch now with heating pads, eating chocolate, and waiting for my rose to get cold enough to drink in the fridge. Not really how I wanted to spend my Monday.

CS/Q:

GTKY: What is one of your favorite song lyrics? I can't think of any right now. I'll update if I can come up with something.

KristoKekerooni · October 2016

@bumpybump - Oh hell yeah. I freaking hate tampons and pads. I just forgot mine when I left for vacation and didn't want to buy another and none of the store carried the cheaper disposables. @Sugargirl1019
and I are starting a revolution. hahaha

MrsDorkCharming · October 2016

@GeorgiaWife6912 Last cycle I didn't ovulate until CD 40. That was really late for me, but I eventually did ovulate. I think I've heard that if you don't get your period in 60 days you need to go to your dr.

@LuND I did that twice last cycle! I'm thinking about putting some clorox wipes in the bathroom when I get to the POAS (or cup) stage in case I do that again.

hartmich · October 2016

ALRIGHT.

Who was talking about This Is Us and saying how good it was?! Because now I'm sitting on my couch like a big, snotty mess.

PolarBear517 · October 2016

@MrsDorkCharming im sorry that guy was such a jerk to you! What an awful Cd 1

I hope the rest of your day goes much better... the wine & chocolate should help right?!

wabash15 · October 2016

@hartmich I was a big snotty mess after the 1st episode, I did better for the second but fear that I might be a mess after tonight's episode!

bumpybump · October 2016

@KristoB & @Sugargirl1019 if you'd like another member, I'd gladly join in

yes, but didn't you love it?

hartmich · October 2016

@wabash15 @manillabar I definitely didn't see the end of episode 1 coming. I definitely like it. I'm worried though because I tend to lose interest in shows until they come on Netflix and I can watch tons of episodes at once with no breaks. But we shall see!

slaven · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 3/4

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: OPKs and preseed during FW

R/R: I have my LASIK surgery this Friday (CD10) and I hope I'm better soon enough to BD during FW. Also, I know I get steroid drops for my eyes and they asked if I was pregnant because of that but idk how long I'll need the drops and how that would work with a BFP this cycle (just random thought I had). I'm super excited to not need glasses though. Also, I have to finish my 2 finals for my graduate classes before Friday because they're due Sunday and I can't computer all weekend which means I actually have a long weekend with no homework and DH will be waiting on me hand and foot.

CS/Q: not today

GTKY: What is one of your favorite song lyrics? I'm not a huge music person. I obviously listen to it but it doesn't "speak to me".

lulu1180 · October 2016

*lurking from TWW*
@wabash15 There's an episode on tonight?? I thought it wasn't back till next week?

manillabar · October 2016

@GeorgiaWife6912 I'm sorry you're still here! I hope you ovulate soon, there's still time! If you do get to CD60 though, you can call your doctor and see if they can help start your period and hopefully start things over
@shstephenson I'm jealous of your 2 day period!!
@buthayna and @britters314 I love Hillsong
@hartmich I know what you mean, I tend to like a show better when I can binge, mostly because I hate waiting a week to see what happens next

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: temping, OPKs starting tomorrow, sex, etc

R/R: Annoying day at work today but glad to be home... And I don't have to wake up early tomorrow! I keep waking up before my temping alarm though... I'm wondering if I should just temp when I wake up instead of trying to force myself to go back to sleep because then I just get anxious about not sleeping which makes it harder to sleep

CS/Q: nothing fancy

GTKY: What is one of your favorite song lyrics?
I'm going to have to come back after I think about this some more

hartmich · October 2016

@slavenski I had PRK, not LASIK, but a coworker of mine was back to work after 2 days (1 day between the surgery and work) so hopefully you can hit your FW. I do believe I had to take the steroid drops for a few days following my surgery, but my recovery time was much longer. It's worth asking! Good luck! You'll love it I'm sure.

kat0607 · October 2016

@slavenski my DH had LASIK done last year and his recovery happened overnight! I know it was uncomfortable for him for the hours following the surgery, but by the next day he was able to see and function normally. It'll all be worth it in the end! Good luck!

slaven · October 2016

@hartmich @kat0607 It's good to know I'll be good for FW. I'm glad Monday is a holiday because my job is staring at a computer all day which already gets uncomfortable. Thankfully my surgery is Friday at 4pm so I just need to stay awake and deal with the uncomfortable-ness until bed time and I should be good in the morning.

wabash15 · October 2016

@lulu1180 I just assumed it was on again tonight... But you know what they say when you assume!

laurad75 · October 2016

@hartmich @wabash15 @lulu1180 I brought up This Is Us on the weekend random thread. The first episode blew my mind and I was a sobbing mess. The 2nd episode was great too. It's not on again until next week.

KariAnn323 · October 2016

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 5

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, OPKs, BD once AF is done

R/R: At the point where AF is super light and you're ready for it to be done but it's just heavy enough that it is definitely still there. Sorry that might be TMI.

CS/Q: @PolarBear517 what BBT monitor are you using? I want to track my temp but I'm a mouth breather at night.

GTKY: What is one of your favorite song lyrics?
Too many to list

britters314 · October 2016

@KariAnn323 You can always temp vaginally if your oral temps are all over the place.

PolarBear517 · October 2016

@KariAnn323 it's called the iFertracker. I got it from Amazon and at the time it was the only wearable BBT actually being shipped (that I could find), there are lots for "preorder". Its basically double stick taped under my arm pit every night but i don't notice it while I sleep or anything. It syncs temps directly to an app; which I don't really like but I just use the temp and input it in FF. I also sometimes breathe through my mouth, and often wake up before my alarm, but I was mostly worried about my inconsistent waking times due to varying shift work. I felt traditional BBT would be less reliable for me and my small trial run kind of confirmed that. My chart is pretty odd but I can't blame the device because I have nothing to compare it to

I've been thinking about still using my Mabis and logging the temps in another app for comparison. Ya know, for science. Maybe next cycle! But if you're just worried about mouth breathing maybe temping vaginally would be an option?
