Re: WTO Friday 11/18
DH is working tonight and today is the last day of the marking period, so I'm doing grades and dishes. So exciting! Tomorrow we are going to a bar and our friend got a limo... not sure why other than it's like 30 min away and there are 10+ of us. We still have to drive to the meet up place anyway, so I don't really see the point. Sunday is football.

I went back to sleep ~10 mins later and when I temped at 5am it was 97.35, and FF takes the CH away. Any thoughts as to which temp to stick with, I'm really new at this. My guess would be the 3.15am, since I was only asleep for ~1.5hours before 5am.

@metrogirl That's a tough call. I would keep the 5am temp as a rule, but it's odd that your temp was lower later. If you're pretty confident that O was CD15, then you may prefer to keep the other temp since that keeps your CH.

R/R: I went down the google rabbit hole about ovary MRIs last night, which was a little bit frightening but also kind of reassuring -- apparently large endometriosis deposits or adhesions are visible on MRI. So, in addition to knowing what the deal is with my left ovary, I will likely be able to learn how serious and widespread my endometriosis is (or, maybe, that it's very minor or isn't visible at all, which would be pretty amazing). I declined to have a laparoscopy when I was diagnosed during college, because I didn't want to have surgery when I could just take medicine instead, so I'm curious slash a little frightened to know the extent of it. It's a weird place to be in emotionally -- on the one hand, I really don't want to have anything wrong and I'm scared to hear there are big problems. On the other hand, wouldn't it be appealing to hear, "The reason you aren't getting pregnant is X, which we can fix so you don't have that terrible pain anymore and do have a baby"? Sigh.
And hopefully unlike in 30 Rock there won't be a weird third thing. (There is no gif of that, can you believe it?)
CS/Q:
GTKY: My MRI is on Sunday. Tomorrow probably just relaxing and running errands.
@NYTino24 I hope your upcoming observation goes well!
@metrogirl It’s generally advised to use the temp taken at your normal time and just note the earlier temp in the notes. If you use the 5 am temp and put in a fake high temp tomorrow does it give you CH for CD25?
@LadyMillil I also have some preseed that I feel like I should use so it doesn’t go to waste.
@beachbunnyxo123 Yay for CHs! GL in TWW and we don’t want to see you back here!

R/R: So I was watching the local news this morning like I always do before work and because it's national adoption day, one of the news anchors was telling her story. *possible TW* She has one biological child and suffered through secondary infertility with multiple loses. They were chosen to adopt this precious baby girl earlier this year and showed more pictures of her. So, there I am silently crying on the couch trying to put on my makeup.
CS/Q: Got a decent temp spike this morning, so I think yesterday was O day! It seems a bit cliche to O on CD14, but hey, I'll take it!
GTKY: What are your weekend plans?
tonight we are going to a performance of Birdman live. If any of you saw the movie, you'll remember that there is a drum solo basically throughout the movie. Tonight the percussionist will play live and the movie is shown behind him. Should be fun! And on Sunday, we are going to the Redskins/Packers game!!! We got free tickets through DH's work and the guy is also trying to arrange for us to get field passes so that we can go run around the field and watch the players warm up. @adirat if you see a crazy woman on the field trying to chase down Aaron Rodgers, it's me!

R/R: I finally read TCOYF. Interesting to read about slow rising temps. I've only temped for 2 cycles, but so far I've been a slow riser. It does say you could O days earlier than your cross hairs indicate, as your body just may take time to react to post-O progesterone (hence the lack of a big spike).
CS/Q: temps slowly creeping up, just waiting for CH.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? Hanging out with our best friend couple tonight. Going shopping tomr with a GF. Welcoming a boring weekend, as we've been so busy and it'd about to get worse in December with Christmas parties.
@NYTino24 Have fun on Saturday! Bars are always more fun when there's a large group of you.
@LadyMillil We use Preseed like regular lube - externally. May be a better way for you to have fun with it, if you don't need the extra "EWCM".
@Starla what brand of OPK's are you using now? I think my no-names from China are duds.
@beachbunnyxo123 yay for CH! Good luck!!
@adirat Good luck on Sunday! I agree, as much as you don't want anything wrong with you, it would be helpful for them to say something is, and it's totally fixable. My best GF has bad endometriosis. She was in excruciating pain. She had surgery Feb 2014 to remedy it, and got pregnant Aug 2014. She's so much better now. Still has really heavy periods, but no more pain.

My BFF is coming up from Richmond today for a girls weekend (H is out of town). Because we usually drink like 2 frat boys when we get together, she'll notice that I'm not drinking nearly as much and I'll have to tell her that I'm TTGP. Kind of nervous about that. We haven't told anyone that we're trying. She is also in a completely different place in her life -- single/ not dating, in dental school, lives with her mom. She is very self conscious of the fact that she's no where near marriage/starting a family. So I'm assuming her initial reaction will be a pity party for herself. Ultimately, I know she'll be happy and excited for me... just not sure how long it'll take her to get there.

It went fast. *End TW* Rant- It looks like O will happen sometime this weekend, if FF can be believed, and of course my parents are in town for the previously mentioned party. It's going to be hard to sneak in DTD when my parents are across the hallway.
CS/Q: I thought my thermometer was joining the ranks of the broken/ dead battery ones this week, I've had very similar temps the last couple of days. Looking at last month, I had a similar situation right before O. I retook my temp again a few minutes after the first time and it changed, but.. my body needs to get some action going on here.

@Starla I wish I could tell you what the tilt means but CP is very different and specific for each and every person. Is this your first cycle checking CP? If so, the best advice I can give is that you will be able to tell what each position is only in hindsight. My CP does not follow the textbook knuckle rule.

I made a vow of secrecy." And that just really pissed me off! Why can't you tell your wife what happened? The guy who invited him to join had asked me if I was okay with it, and I told DH last night that had I known it meant keeping secrets, I would've said no I'm not okay with it. DH throws a fit if I try to keep the tiniest thing from him (like, about a close friend) yet he's marching around all proud he has this secret. Ugh. I'm just so annoyed!

R/R: hooray for friday, winter has now set in and with all this snow its going to make today interesting.... so I might not get back to my computer for a while
CS/Q: not yet... though can I say what a difference not sleeping with the comforter makes... holy temp drop batman!
GTKY: What are your weekend plans? we are supposed to take the kiddos swimming with a friend tomorrow at 7am... its going to be brutal leaving the pool and going back to the snow. Otherwise its just prepping for thanksgiving and maybe fitting in a date as a belated anniversary celebration if we can get a sitter.
@flashley sorry about the shower, hopefully it won't be too painful
@hupp0013 hope DD feels better soon
@metrogirl your secondary signs fit with O, you might be having a fall back rise... if so I wonder if your CH will get moved to CD 25 from 24...
@ohemgee I am definitely a slow riser... once in a blue moon I get a small spike but it can take up to 5 days post O for me to get CH...
@ColoradoHiker Happy birthday to DS! its amazing how fast time flies... that first year is such a blur.
@khrun17 thats so silly DH can't/won't tell you... but I guess thats a fraternity for you

CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: Well, nothing I guess. We HIO on what might be either -4 or -3 depending on when I O. We tried to HIO last night and this morning. DH could not finish. This has never happened twice in a row. I don't what is going on other than maybe performance anxiety or stress. I have been calm and understanding, but it is so unbelievably frustrating that he cannot finish. It's going to be very difficult to be on this TTC journey if this continues, I don't know what to do. Though I was excited to officially start trying, I did not pressure him. He knows it's my FW, so maybe for future cycles I shouldn't tell him. IDK if we will try again tonight, I will leave that up to him. He will be away on a trip with his friends next month for 90% of my FW, so that is likely to not be successful either. I am just so upset right now and feel quite helpless. I know it's our 2nd cycle and first one really trying, but I did not imagine this happening. Now, we probably can't really try until cycle 4.
R/R: I slept like shit last night. I f**king woke up at 12:45am, 1:30am, 2:50am and for a last time at 4:35am...then I laid awake until we tried to HIO at 6:30am. I temped at 4:35am since I knew I would't be going back to sleep. It's obviously off from a time stand point, but the temp is still in the "normal range" so I am not sure if I O'd quite yet....but my chart is all over the damn place. I got my first positive OPK at 9:00am yesterday and confirmed it again in the afternoon around 6:00pm. So who knows, maybe I will O this evening and maybe, just maybe we can successfully HIO. But I am not going to pressure DH. I don't want 3 failed attempts in a 24 hour period.
CS/Q: nothing.
GTKY: What are your weekend plans?
Well, originally, I thought I might O on Sunday. So we were planning on HIO a lot and I was going to try to make it romantic and relaxing. Now...that's down the drain. So nothing really. I have a massage tomorrow morning, so maybe that will help de-stress a little.
