GTKY: How did you come to your career path? Did you always know you wanted to be a __________ (teacher, doctor, bull fighter, whatever you are)? Did you discover it through school or through a friend/relative? Did you just fall into it?

@swimsister I am gonna assume this is Thursdays WTO based on the date, if I'm wrong, someone tell me!

Month/Cycle: 2/3

CD: 7

WAYDTGKU: HIO, OPKs, PNV

R/R: Its Thursday which means I have a short work day today! Also, completely unrelated, but I exfoliated so hard this Am and now my skin is so effing smooth and I loooove it.

CS/Q: nada

GTKY: How did you come to your career path? Did you always know you wanted to be a __________ (teacher, doctor, bull fighter, whatever you are)? Did you discover it through school or through a friend/relative? Did you just fall into it?

I wanted to be a veterinarian since I was in like 2nd grade, as did a lot of kids. Unlike most other kids who changed their minds/got too sad about sick or dying animals/couldnt handle the billion years of schooling and massive amounts of debt, I kept at it and somehow became a vet. I am literally happy every single day that I go to work. Sometimes I am at work and I will call out an order for a crashing animal or something and have a moment of 'JFC, I am a doctor...how did this even happen? How do I know this stuff? Oh shit!' and its amazing.

WAYDTGKU: Temping, PNV, green tea but mostly just waiting for AF to leave

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/9b/937nl0jycuni.gif

R/R: I've been in a huge funk recently. I think it's just a horrible combination of work being crazy, being sad about cycle 3 and the fact that my anxiety is always the worst during AF (I have GAD). I've been trying snap out of it... hopefully a relaxing weekend (and AF gtfo) will do the trick!

CS/Q: nope!

GTKY: I'm an accountant and definitely did not aspire to be one when I was little

I wanted to be an astronaut! When I started business school, it was required to take an accounting class. I realized quickly that it "clicked" with how my brain works and that there are numerous possibilities of what you can do with the degree. I've done corporate taxes, worked at a mutual fund company and now work at a country club!

@kiwi2628 I have an at home micro-dermabrasion and I love how smooth my face feels after I do it!

@JulesDP I love that gif! That is one of my favorite movies!

Month/Cycle: 5/7

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: BD, temping, checking CM and CP, green tea, PNVs, magnesium, CoQ10, limiting caffeine

R/R: Well @SpongeWorthy they had a great year and even though I really can't be upset about it, I'm still disappointed in our loss last night. It was a great game but the plight of the Cleveland sports fan is neverending. I'm just hoping I don't fall asleep at my desk after staying up till 1 am to watch the whole game.

CS/Q: This may be TMI but wondering if anyone else has observed this. I always check CM and CP around the time I get home from work and last night thought I would check it both before and after using the bathroom to see if there's a difference. Before, my CP was high, but after it was low. I did have a BM so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. Anyone notice a big difference like that before?

GTKY: Rarely does anyone plan on working in insurance (unless your family owns an agency). I just fell in it. I was working at a start-up bankruptcy law firm and things weren't going as well as they had hoped so they let me go. By the afternoon of the day they let me go (Friday before Memorial Day weekend), I had an interview for the next Tuesday at an insurance agency across the hall from the mortgage broker that my sister worked at. They had just started discussing the possibility of bringing someone on to handle more service related tasks. I sat down with the owner and started the next Monday then got my insurance license about a month later. I will probably never leave the business because it suits my more meticulous side and it's nice because even though you're doing the same thing every day, every situation and every customer is a little bit different.

@swimsister can you please rename this to be Thursday?

GeorgiaWife6912 · November 2016

Posting and ghosting for a bit today as I have meetings inter-dispersed throughout my day.

Month/Cycle: 3/2

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: All the things... just waiting for signs of FW

R/R: Rant: I have my annual gyn visit today and I was really hoping I would be KU by now so that I wouldn't have to hear about how much weight I've gained in the last year. Note: Our original plan was to start ttc around april but DH lost his job so we didn't start until September so that seemed like a more feasible plan at the time of my appointment last year. Rave: CMAs were amazing last night and I guess it's a FFTC that I watched those instead of the world series.. except for a few minutes of flipping back and forth.

CS/Q: nope.

GTKY: How did you come to your career path? Did you always know you wanted to be a __________ (teacher, doctor, bull fighter, whatever you are)? Did you discover it through school or through a friend/relative? Did you just fall into it?

I am a chemist. I always wanted to go to med school and never used to be squeamish but as I got older I became that way. Even after working as a CNA for several years during high school, I quickly started realizing that I wasn't going to be able to handle med school but I was so far into my classes and still loved science that I stuck with chemistry and a biochem minor. I also have a minor in forensic chemistry that I would love to use one day but I graduated when the economy crashed so finding a job in that field just didn't work out.

bumpybump · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 8

WAYDTGKU: PNVs, BBT, CM, green tea

R/R: Like much of the US, I didn't get much sleep since I stayed up and watched one of the most exciting baseball games. So glad the Cubs won! Then we dropped a lot of money on World Series Champions gear. Plus I'm up early for a 8:00 hair appointment.

CS/Q: None

GTKY: How did you come to your career path? Did you always know you wanted to be a __________ (teacher, doctor, bull fighter, whatever you are)? Did you discover it through school or through a friend/relative? Did you just fall into it?
My current career, SAHM, is something I wanted to do for a long time and hoped for.
Prior I had a mechanical engineering degree, worked in Marketing, Product Support, and then Product Safety for a large Ag manufacturing company. I wanted to be an Architect which long story short got me lookin at engineering and I started in college pursuing a Biomedical Engineering degree.

bumpybump · November 2016

@GeorgiaWife6912 I totally forgot the CMAs were on! The World Series consumed me (us). I'll have to go see CMA results. Best wishes at your appt.

JuneRoseRuby · November 2016

Month/Cycle:11/9

CD:17

WAYDTGKU: HIO, Preseed, BBT, CM/CP, OPKs, Green tea, no other caffeine, no alcohol, maca, fertility foods, more stuff

R/R: Traffic is still terrible with the strike so I got up and left early to avoid it. The ride was cut in half today! I have to get the house in order today for my BFF visiting this weekend with her family!

CS/Q: Got a negative OPK this morning after two days of positive so I think I will HIO one more time just to be safe. We skipped last night because we had been going ED and I felt like my H's supply was running low. Makes me nervous for this cycle that there wasn't enough "juice" to swim around up there.

GTKY: How did you come to your career path? Did you always know you wanted to be a __________ (teacher, doctor, bull fighter, whatever you are)? Did you discover it through school or through a friend/relative? Did you just fall into it? I knew I always wanted to be in the medical field, but I originally thought OB/GYN or pediatrician, but I wanted a family and I knew those hours would be more difficult. So I went into pediatric physical therapy and I love it! It has been really fun and it has enough medical stuff to satisfy me, even though I still think a pediatrician would be a better fit for me, I know the flexibility is the lifestyle I need/want more. I am going for a huge certification in the next year and a half to become a specialist in neuro-muscular disabilities (Cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury...)

@lulu1180 As far as your CP, if you were bearing down during your BM, it may have lowered your CP because of the muscles in your pelvic floor. I have no research behind that, but (due to my background) that would make the most sense to me.

busymommy23 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: it's too early I can't even think. I think I just hit the 1 yr mean mark.

CD: 32

WAYDTGKU:

R/R: So I went away for a little while because of stress and just needing to take a break from here, stalking but not posting. I just needed some time to take away any pressure.

CS/Q: ok can someone please look at my chart and tell me what they think. this is the first time I've never had aa ovulation date show and it really seems as though I didn't ovulate. I originally had dotted line for CD 24 but when my temp dropped FF took it away. so now I feel clueless. I'm thinking a call to my Dr may be needed as this is out of character for me. For the record, I haven't tested or anything because I wouldn't see how that would be needed. Any thoughts or suggestions?

GTKY: Where is the farthest from home you have ever traveled? Cancun, Mexico for a college Spring Break. It was a great trip.

adirat · November 2016

@JulesDP Hugs. AF is hard and with anxiety it must be so much harder. And I love that gif! Like @lulu1180 I think that movie is great and Meryl Streep produced so many good ones.

@Georgiawife6912 Sorry, I know it would be great to be KU before the appointment How cool that you are a chemist! When I was in high school, I wanted to become a chemist. I loved chemistry.

@Juneroseruby Wow, that must be such a rewarding career!

Month/Cycle: 6/6

CD: 16

WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, OPKs, PNVs, CoQ10, B6, B12, vitamin D, green tea, avoiding soy.

R/R: Now that I'm back to avoiding soy, I found out that all my favorite Halloween candy has soy lecithin in it! Peanut butter cups, peanut butter M&Ms, Twix... what a nightmare.

Rave, though -- I think I'm going to start going to acupuncture weekly (as much as I can). I hadn't gone for a month before yesterday, and I just feel so relaxed afterward. This is the gif I posted yesterday about how I feel after acupuncture:

(I know it, too, because yesterday after my appointment, a friend sent me two links about the presidential election that were pretty aggravating and I just said, "Oh that sucks" but didn't feel it. Maybe I should plan to go again on Wednesday just in case...)

CS/Q: Nice big temp spike this morning so I think yesterday was the day! I'm so relieved that we decided to TTC again in time... what if we decided today?

GTKY: I studied program evaluation in college as part of my degree in public policy, and now I do it for a living, so that was a win!

adirat · November 2016

@busymommy23 Your chart looks anovulatory to me. Have you charted in the past and confirmed ovulation? If this is the first time, you might not need to worry -- sometimes a random month or stress produces a lack of ovulation. But if this is a pattern, then yes, you should talk to your gynecologist about whether you are ovulating at all.

Do you track CM or use OPKs (this or previous cycles)?

lulu1180 · November 2016

possible TW child mentioned
@adirat A friend of mine found out that her baby was soy and lactose intolerant and since she was BF she had to give up both. She found out how many things have soy (like bread, pop-tarts, most cereals). On the plus side, it helped her to eat healthier and lose weight - at least until he outgrew the intolerance.

lulu1180 · November 2016

@JuneRoseRuby I thought it might be something like that but wanted to see if anyone else has ever made a similar observation before. Also, when I've checked after BM in the past, it didn't seem to make a difference. Thanks for the info!

adirat · November 2016

@lulu1180 Yeah, it's pretty astonishing. I could stand to eat healthier and lose a little weight though, so that is a positive! Thanks!

lulu1180 · November 2016

@adirat We are all about positivity now!

jess0211 · November 2016

@JulesDP I have GAD too and mine is always bad right before and during my AF. it can definitely send you into a funk. I recently started meds for it aactually (ob/ gyn approved) and it seems to hhelp. hugs!

SpongeWorthy · November 2016

@bumpybump Congrats to your Cubs! What a crazy series. I think we are all zombies today lol.
@lulu1180 Well, I guess we have next year to look forward to! I can't believe how far they made it, honestly. Very proud of this team. I think we all deserve coffee today

I feel like I did with the Cavs in 2015; disappointed, yet hopeful for the future. And we all know how that ended

In other news, I got CH this morning so I'm headed to the TWW! Good luck ladies!

shstephenson · November 2016

I really love the GTKY today! It's so cool to hear about what you ladies do for a living!
@JuneRoseRuby pediatric physical therapist was my initial game plan! But then I quickly realized that I wasn't ready to give up the sports medicine side of my career

Month/Cycle: 7/7

CD: 9

WAYDTGKU: leaving tomorrow for our babymoon so we will be HIO like teenagers, BBT, PNV,CoQ10, green tea, OPKs, CM, Preseed

R/R: I am so excited to leave for the babymoon tomorrow that I am not going to be able to focus on work today! I'll miss my fur babies but it is going to be so nice to get away from home/work!

CS/Q: nope

GTKY: How did you come to your career path? Did you always know you wanted to be a __________ (teacher, doctor, bull fighter, whatever you are)? Did you discover it through school or through a friend/relative? Did you just fall into it?

Since I was in high school working as a tech in a PT clinic I knew I wanted to go into physical therapy. The PT who mentored me (hell, he's still my mentor!) is also an athletic trainer and suggested majoring in AT as an undergrad because it would prepare me for PT school. So I did, and absolutely fell in love with it! I havent completely taken PT school off the table but I enjoy what I do so much right now that I'm not interested in changing anytime soon.
I also started teaching Foundations in Health Science and Sports Medicine this year. Teaching is something I definitely fell into! Luckily I have a small class that understands I've never taught before so we are all learning together.

BigBadWolf12 · November 2016

Month/Cycle: 4ttcal, 13 total

CD: 20. I think o was yesterday but I'll wait for ch just in case. This turned into a weird cycle the last few days...

WAYDTGKU: sex and stuff

R/R: I have an appointment to start If testing if this cycle doesn't work. Bitter sweet about that.

CS/Q: nah.

GTKY: How did you come to your career path? Did you always know you wanted to be a __________ (teacher, doctor, bull fighter, whatever you are)? Did you discover it through school or through a friend/relative? Did you just fall into it?

teacher. Yes. No energy to say more right now.

busymommy23 · November 2016

@adirat I have charted before and confirmed ovulation, even just last month. Ive been ovulating late (cd28) the past 2 months so was anxious to see what this month meant. I'm totally confused by my chart. I've not had any EWCM this month at all and have been battling a stomach bug since Sunday. I've never not ovulated so this is something new for me.

JuneRoseRuby · November 2016

@shstephenson I did a good deal of sports injury at a pediatric outpatient clinic I worked at, especially at the start of track season....oi vey. Also, funny, I had at least two kids that were injured falling off the backs of their grandmother's motorized scooters... Does that also count as a sports injury?!

sheknows6 · November 2016

@adirat I have my FX for you that this is your month! Sounds like you guys timed everything really well

@lulu1180 I'm an agent too!! Small world.

Sidenote- The Cubs won the World Series!!!

I totally don't watch baseball (football fan) and even I'm excited by this

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: temping & OPK's, sex every day during FW

R/R: It's almost Friday!!!!

CS/Q: I haven't been temping long enough to really have questions and I'm still learning what my temps do during each part of my cycle, and I'm still getting the hang of it. My timing is more consistent now, and I am patiently waiting until I have enough data to actually try and interpret it lol

GTKY: How did you come to your career path? Did you always know you wanted to be a __________ (teacher, doctor, bull fighter, whatever you are)? Did you discover it through school or through a friend/relative? Did you just fall into it?

I'm the compliance director for my firm, and we connect independent insurance agents with carriers they may not have been able to contract with on their own so they can sell without working directly for the company. I completely fell into this, as I started as an insurance agent myself. I took a job as a telesales agent for UHC and that's where I got my license, as well as meeting a former friend that helped me get hired at my current firm. The rest fell into place after I started working here. I really enjoy my work, but I have been feeling for a while that my work environment is toxic, and I'm seriously considering resigning after we actually get KU and I've gone on leave. I'm going to California next month for my CCEP designation and that will open up a lot of other doors for me since I already have my business degree.

laurad75 · November 2016

@GeorgiaWife6912 Good luck today.

WAYDTGKU: all the things plus clomid, trigger + IUI

R/R: see below

CS/Q: What the effing eff is going on with my effing chart? trigger was Saturday night, IUI was Monday but my chart doesn't show an obvious O date. I thought the increase on Wed was the spike but then it went down again this morning. WTF. On Saturday I am getting my progesterone checked so I guess I will just hang tight here until the results show that I did O. Chart history is in siggy

GTKY: How did you come to your career path? Did you always know you wanted to be a __________ (teacher, doctor, bull fighter, whatever you are)? Did you discover it through school or through a friend/relative? Did you just fall into it?

I sort of fell into it. I was working in sales and hated it but really liked volunteering for a non-profit and fundraising for them. They had an opportunity available and I got the job. I worked there for several years and now I'm at a different non-profit doing less fundraising but a lot of public education and communication.

lulu1180 · November 2016

@sheknows6 I now work for a company and really love it! The benefits are amazing! Also, I switched from almost strictly personal lines to commercial lines. It's definitely a little different for me but the company I work for it really great!

@laurad75 That looks like a fallback rise to me. If you put in a fake high temp for tomorrow do you get CHs for Tuesday?

laurad75 · November 2016

@lulu1180 Yes! That worked. What is a fallback rise? Ah, 7 months and I'm still learning. Thank you. xo

lulu1180 · November 2016

@laurad75 Sometimes you will see a slight decrease in temp at 1-2 DPO before the temp goes back up. It's actually pretty common but I'm not sure what causes it.

hqinmd · November 2016

@JulesDP accountants represent!
@lulu1180 I've noticed the same. I have come to the conclusion that CP is affected by a bunch of things and is useless. But I keep checking anyway. Because TTC.
@GeorgiaWife6912 my mom is a medical technologist. When I was a kid, I remember being all excited to learn she did all kinds of science-y things and would brag to my friends that my mom was a scientist. I work for a chemical company now and I still love to see women in the hard science fields.
@bumpybump I took a couple architecture classes in high school and loved it but don't have the mindset for it. My brother is pursuing his masters in architecture and he's so good at it.
@JuneRoseRuby That must be a really rewarding career.
@busymommy23 the only place there that looks to me like you could have O'd was around CD13. Maybe, but that's a stretch. When is O normally for you and how long is your LP? Sorry for the one year mark.

@adirat glad you managed to hit your FW. FX for you!
@shstephenson enjoy your babymoon!

Month/Cycle: 3/4

CD: 10

WAYDTGKU: Charting BBT, CM, CP; OPK, PNVs, conceive plus, attempting EOD during FW (though it hasn't worked out that way in the past)

R/R: finally time for OPKs! I like feeling like I'm doing something.

CS/Q:

GTKY: I'm an accountant. I was sort of guided into it by my high school business teacher and her husband (who was my government teacher... I actually majored in accounting and political science in college), as well as my aunt. I work for a public company and handle its reporting to the SEC. Not what I originally thought I'd be doing but I really enjoy it. When I originally applied to college I listed accounting and math Ed as intended majors but settled on accounting when I got into the program.

JuneRoseRuby · November 2016

@laurad75 and @lulu1180 Here's some research I did:

Estrogen dominates your follicular phase and keeps your temps lower, and progesterone powers your luteal phase with higher temperatures. Therefore a surge in estrogen will temporarily pull your temp down, hence the fallback, before rising again as progesterone takes over.

There could be two reasons - one would be an immune response that causes the initial high meaning O may actually be a day later than shown or a secondary surge once LH drops. Estrogen rises and peaks several days before O - it is what triggers the LH surge which is what triggers O. As LH falls estrogen can rise or for some as it falls it has "hiccups" where it falls rises, falls rises and continues to fall rise in ever decreasing amts.

lulu1180 · November 2016

Thank you @JuneRoseRuby! That is incredibly helpful and definitely explains my LP temps from a couple cycles ago!

R/R: *TW* someone else's pregnancy mentioned*
DHs step sister is pregnant, married a guy from another country she had seen maybe 3 times before they got married and she got pregnant on her honeymoon unplanned. She is a high risk pregnancy as she is about 150 pounds overweight. She now lives in another country and we only heard from her about her pregnancy. She made a post on facebook yesterday asking other moms and pregnant friends if they ate turkey while pregnant because she knows it's bad but she just really wants a turkey sandwich and wanted other people to tell her it's okay. I'm sorry but this just makes me angry. I've never been pregnant so I don't know about cravings but I would do anything to be pregnant and not be able to eat a turkey sandwich. Plus I just find it concerning. In case you were wondering, she made a follow up post an hour later about how delicious her turkey sandwich was (eye roll) End TW**

CS/Q: none

GTKY: How did you come to your career path? Did you always know you wanted to be a __________ (teacher, doctor, bull fighter, whatever you are)? Did you discover it through school or through a friend/relative? Did you just fall into it?
I always loved talking to people and hearing their stories. I was very interested in psychology in high school so I got my BS in psych and my masters in mental health counseling and am now a marriage and family therapist.

lulu1180 · November 2016

@beachbunnyxo123 I'm so sorry you have to deal with that! I would probably just hide all of her posts so that it doesn't cause drama unfriending her but you don't actually have to see anything she posts about. You deserve not only all the coffee but also all the wine today!

I had no idea “what I wanted to be when I grew up” when I started college. I fell into the Energy field after I graduated with a Business/Accounting Degree. Mostly regulatory stuff. Everything from production to end use. I still don’t think “I know what I want to be when I grow up.” Lol I do like the Energy Industry; it has served me well.

@adirat I am glad to see you are back, I was missing your posts!

@busymommy23 I agree with @adirat.

adirat · November 2016

@busymommy23 I think you haven't ovulated this cycle. That said, if you are sick it can delay ovulation, so if you typically ovulate late anyway, I wouldn't worry yet. Maybe ewcm is still around the corner.

@laurad75 I think FF is confused because of your higher temps approx cd6-8 (sorry it's fuzzy on mobile but I'm referring to the days of high temps early on). I think both cd13 and cd14 are possibilities. The dip today is still above where I would put your coverline.

sheknows6 · November 2016

@beachbunnyxo123, to that post your DH's step sister made:

laurad75 · November 2016

@JuneRoseRuby That is so helpful, thank you.

@lulu1180 Thank you for putting your siggy gif in a spoiler. It's amazing but NSFW so it made me nervous.

@adirat I'm sure you are right about the earlier higher temps. I was traveling across the country so even though I temped at the same time it was still three hours off which I'm sure threw off my temps.

Thanks everyone for all your help. What would I do without you?!

adirat · November 2016

@sheknows6 @mrs_jpThanks

@Juneroseruby Thanks -- I've had a fallback rise before but never knew why.

@beachbunnyxo123 What... that is terrible and I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Confession, I am addicted to the TLC show 90 Day Fiance so I am very intrigued by the whole backstory, too.

@laurad75 That explains it! When I went from eastern time to pacific time my temps were all crazy high for two days.

Also, PSA for everyone, turkey isn't actually that dangerous -- the fear is listeria but listeria in turkey has only happened once. You're much likelier to get listeria from vegetables.

WAYDTGKU: All the things + Metformin

R/R: This is a big ol' TMI so sorry. FF has the FW starting today, but my temp steadily dropped and starting coming up on the 1st which would make our timing a solid -2. That's it. I've been telling H we need to HIO starting on CD 10 EOD so we can make sure we get the necessary days. His response? "Sex is so invasive, can't we cuddle instead?" CUDDLING DOESN'T MAKE A BABY. And invasive? Excuse me? That actually hurt my feelings, to which he said "you're too sensitive. I shouldn't have to walk on egg shells around my wife." I had a breakdown and told him I was done trying because why should I put in all the effort when he doesn't even want to do what's necessary to make said baby. But then I got even more mad because even if I stopped temping and everything, we still wouldn't get a "surprise" baby because H doesn't want to have sex so there's zero chance of FW sex anyway. //rantover

Did you discover it through school or through a friend/relative? Did you just fall into it? I always wanted to be a lawyer, but I hate school so I figured I could be an assistant instead and still be in the field, and maybe work my way up and actually want to do law school when I grew up. Apparently I haven't grown up yet.

Yes, I'm trying to lose weight, working out, eating better etc. I've been doing research and it's all over the place some sites say its not that big of a deal as long as you still have a regular cycle others talk about how extremely difficult it is. I just need some reliable info, please

@Dilynne I'm so sorry for your rough TTC week and that your DH is being so uncooperative! Creepy internet hugs!!

[Deleted User] · November 2016

@busymommy23 Agreed with @adirat that your chart looks pretty anovulatory. If this is what a normal chart looks like to you then you may want to consider speaking to your OB.

Month/Cycle: 8/8

CD: 6

WAYDTGKU: Femara, IUI, RRLT

R/R: Well I officially switched my treatment plan this month to an IUI. So in addition to not temping I don't even have to do OPKs this month. Yesssss. I'm trying not to get too excited, but let's face it - this is the best shot I've ever had.

CS/Q:

GTKY: How did you come to your career path? Did you always know you wanted to be a __________ (teacher, doctor, bull fighter, whatever you are)? Did you discover it through school or through a friend/relative? Did you just fall into it?

I am an art teacher and have wanted to be one since I was a little kid. My parents used to take us to different universities for our school breaks (not going to college was never an option) and I remember being in like 2nd grade and hearing about a teaching program and I just knew that's what I wanted to do.
