Re: WTO 11/24 TURKEY DAY!
CD: So yesterday I said CD1 since I was spotting and I had bad cramps and I never spot for more than like 12 hours....but then I spotted for a solid 28 hours and just got my period today, so today is the new CD1
WAYDTGKU: Banging. We will be banging. A lot. Not too much, but a lot. Also OPKs, PNV and for funsies, I am adding RRLT
R/R: Thanksgiving! I love my husbands family, but I am an introvert and going to his familys house for the holidays (when they are Italian/Polish/Catholic so there are literally 25-30 people there) is draining for me. I was hoping to be KU so I could 'have morning sickness' and trap myself in the bathroom routinely and have an excuse to hide but dammit!

Mashedpotatoesmahsedpotatoesmashedpotatoes. They are buttery, whipped, creamy goodness.
Month/Cycle: 6/7
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: Temping, CM, OPKs, PNVs, CoQ10, vitamin D, green tea, avoiding soy. Pelvic MRI in December, boo.
R/R: You can sum up my feelings about today this way:
Plus side: We are spending the morning at home which is so much more relaxing (plus allows for a last minute cd14 BD!). Plus not pregnant = drink all the red wine.
CS/Q: I'm not bringing pee cups or OPKs with me to my in-laws' house so I'm not sure I'll catch the surge. I may not have reliable temps for a couple days, either. I know it doesn't actually matter if I can't pinpoint the exact day but rather a range of two days, but it does annoy me.
GTKY: My favorite traditional Thanksgiving food is twice-baked potatoes, yum! But here, my favorite Thanksgiving food at my MIL's is her hand made manicotti in red sauce.
CD: 13
WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, CP, OPK, PNV, CoQ10, B complex, magnesium, PreSeed, DTD EOD
R/R: DH wants to stay at his parents' house tonight so we can spend half the day putting up their 12 foot fake Christmas tree tomorrow. It's FW and we will sleep in their big sunroom (with three big walls of shuttered windows) that he converted into a bedroom / living room combo when he moved back home from the military. All of his bedroom and LR furniture is still there until we buy a bigger house, but the heat is never on unless we are there and the room is not only still cold, but it was an addition... so there is a (curtained) window into it from the kitchen AND it has accordion doors with no lock. You also have to walk through the kitchen to get to the bathroom. They only live 25 minutes away, but DH doesn't want to drive up there again tomorrow.
CS/Q: Nope. Here is a Thanksgiving view of the Rocky Mountains for ya.
GTKY: Out of everything, what is your favorite Thanksgiving day food?
SIL makes some amazing sweet potatoes with marshmallows, but I have to say mashed potatoes. I will fight you to lick the beaters, @kiwi2628!! PS I am Irish / Italian Catholic on my dad's side (he's one of 7) and Polish / German Catholic on my mom's side (she's one of 9). Also, I'm one of 5 and DH is one of 4. We have 12 nieces and nephews. The only time our whole immediate families were together was our wedding. We wouldn't dare try to get everyone together for one holiday!

R/R: Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes yesterday! The outpouring of love from everyone (family, fb friends, bump friends) made me feel so extra special and made the day a lot less miserable than I thought it would be! (and the 2 ½ glasses of wine with dinner didn’t hurt
)
Yesterday (in the deleted post) I had complained that my body didn’t seem to be cooperating. Yesterday, my CP was finally high; it was so high, I could barely reach it! In the cycles that I tracked it, my CP of HSO always corresponded with O day so we’ll see if this is a normal cycle and this means I’m getting ready to O.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: Stuffing, without a doubt. Although my MIL doesn’t actually stuff the turkey like my mom does but I still won’t complain

Month/Cycle: 7/8

WAYDTGP: temping, pnvs, Clomid (last night was last dose), HIO
R/R: my temps are out of control and this morning it was crazy high. I may be coming down with something. Also, I broke out a new CB OPK kit today and the reader thing is broken. It has an error message that won't go away. I'm so annoyed. I have others but the CBs are my favorite and they are really expensive. WTF.
CS/Q: let's wait for a couple more temps.

GTKY: Out of everything, what is your favorite Thanksgiving day food? Stuffing, for sure.
@kiwi2628 Sorry for CD1 - not nice that you have to add that to such an overwhelming family gathering! At least you can have lots of wine??
@NYTino24 GD getting in lots of successful BD!

R/R: I'm so jealous of all the US bumpies having a holiday today! I'm stuck at work - but can't wait for our TTC weekend getaway tomorrow!
CS/Q: Can room temperature mess with a BBT thermometer? We keep our heat pretty low, but for some reason it was really cold in the bedroom last night. I don't know that I was cold (I had three blankets on haha), but my temp seemed really low this morning. Not sure if it's just a normal fluctuation, or my thermometer was influenced. It did feel really cold when I inserted it (I temp vaginally).
GTKY: Well, my Thanksgiving was over a month ago - but I love pumpkin pie. And stuffing. And turkey. And pretty much the whole thing haha!
Month/Cycle: 2/2

R/R: having Thanksgiving with just my DH, sister and parents and we're all wearing comfy pants (like gym pants, without the working out haha). It feels a bit lazy, but nice! It's "relaxing" Thanksgiving.
CS/Q: I took two temps this morning. I woke up at 5:30am, an hour before I usually try to temp and got 96.03 which seemed super low. Went to the restroom and back to bed, then temped around 7:30am and got 97.42: a big difference but more of what I expected. I had terrible O cramps yesterday and none today, but did have a lot of EWCM this morning. Ugh, which temp should I keep?? Here's my chart with the later temp if it helps. I thought O was yesterday...am still learning so I appreciate any wisdom!

R/R: first question from my FIL- how are you? Are you feeling up for "trying" again? Bring on the wine!!
CS/Q: I'm sorta new to opks and I usually stop after I've had a positive. Do they continue to be positive for a few days or do they go back to how they looked pre-o?
GTKY: Out of everything, what is your favorite Thanksgiving day food?

Month/Cycle: 11/10
CD: 11
WAYDTGKU: Forgot to OPK today. Oh well. I am not really excited or focused on this cycle. I just feel like it is pointless until our appointment in January. Also, (this probably belongs in rant) last night I looked up that after this cycle, my next FW is right over xmas and the following days, when I will be in a house full of kids and family members, for 10 days... I guess I'll just count that cycle out. We will be sleeping in a loft with no bedroom door...
R/R: Rave-I was happy to have a productive conversation with my H last night. I asked him if he thought there was something wrong yet since I'm not KTFU. He finally said, yeah I am beginning to think so. Previously he had said that I hadn't given it enough time, that I was hyper focused on it... So I am happy that he is on board with it (sad as it is) but he said, so it's time to make an appointment huh? So I think we decided to stick with the regular endo appointment on Jan 6 and then schedule a preemptive RE appointment towards the end of Jan. I finally feel like I am not losing my mind.
CS/Q: Does it matter when in your schedule you book your first RE appointment? I may have to ask this question next week when everyone is back bumpin.
GTKY: Out of everything, what is your favorite Thanksgiving day food? stuffing. Its the only day of the year I eat it! I never make it and my mom makes me a special vegetarian one.
