-1 or -2 waiting on CH still, sick DS so that made fertile week uneventful
Testing: lol probably not unless AF is late
R/R: none really took work off today to watch my nephew and my son so I'm sure after a day of 2 year olds I'll be exhausted!
Q/CS: my chart sucks - will it help dramatically to stay away from alcohol? I was reading that it can elevate my temperature and it appears to have done that.
GTKY: If you had to dine at a Fast Food Restaurant which would it be?
Ohhh I'd give my right arm for some mcdonalds for lunch..
R/R: rave: I had a really good Christmas with the family with very little dramatics so I am very thankful for that. Rant: I saw one of my cousins for the first time since I've been married and she burst into tears immediately and it took me about 45 min to convince her that she was get married one day too. (I understand the pressure. marriage and such is pretty much the only goals my family has for girls. I'm the first one to graduate from college. It wasn't looked down on but no one cared they wanted to know when the wedding was). However Christmas was not a great choice for a break down.
Q/CS: well the spotting stopped, does anyone know of any good reading on implantation bleeding/ if it's an actual thing. I'm just trying to find hope that I'm not out yet.
GTKY: If you had to dine at a Fast Food Restaurant which would it be? Does chipotle count I love that place.
Rant/rave: So today, I go get some blood work done to confirm ovulation. Here's hoping for some good numbers. My last progesterone level last month (non-medicated cycle) was 26... not great, but not bad. Hoping to see at least above 30 or 40, with being on femara this cycle we shall see.
GTKYQ: In N Out burger if I had to choose. Had they're burgers while on vacation in the south. I think over the course of my week vacation we ate there 4x lol. I just couldn't get enough.

Testing: Apparently I'm peeing on all the things and can't be stopped. Another BFN this morning
R/R: My temp is still up at 9dpo, go progesterone go!! Still BFN but maybe I'll get a longer LP out of this cycle, that'd still be a positive.
Q/CS:
GTKY: If you had to dine at a Fast Food Restaurant which would it be? I hate fast food because my stomach is so sensitive.. If I HAD to though, Arby's for the curly fries
@Breath_Easy92 implantation bleeding happens but it's not common. Recently I've been bleeding from HIO but in the past I've noticed small amounts of blood from ovulation and from HIO. **TW** I had implantation bleeding with my first loss but it was basically only enough to be seen on tp **End TW** @MrsM00re87 FX for good numbers today! @TravelingCouple Sorry for BFN!

R/R: Rant- I have a cold and I usually just deal with it but this one is really annoying and I feel like being a man baby about it. Rave- we enjoyed dinner last night with some friends for boxing day and it was nice to get out for a little bit.
Q/CS: none.
GTKY: If you had to dine at a Fast Food Restaurant which would it be? Chipotle or chik-fil-a. It's a hard tie. We don't have a chik-fil-a here though so I guess I would have to go mexican!
Testing: N/A. Thinking of making an apt with my gno this month. AF expected today or tomorrow and BFN yesterday. I have regular cycles and we have been actively trying for 6 months so I'm thinking of just checking blood work and maybe SA. I was on BCP for 8 years until this past June.
R/R: just what I said above, I know it can take up to a year, but as well as I've tracked and we've HIO, I feel like something should of happened by now. I'm afraid somethings wrong.
Q/CS: this is personal., maybe *TW*?, has anyone had a chlamydia infection in the past? How did it affect your fertility?
GTKY: If you had to dine at a Fast Food Restaurant which would it be? Chick-Fil-a for sure!!

@jillibean0871 Alcohol definitely elevates my temps, so I have to be careful when/how much I have. @MrsM00re87 FX for good results! @spiderlover25 I have a bad cold right now too, so I hear you. Hope you feel better soon.
Month/Cycle: 6/6
CD/DPO: 24/11

Testing: BFN today
R/R: I got a toaster oven for Christmas, and it's so cool. Now I'm looking at everything in my fridge/pantry like, what can I put in the toaster oven?? I want to cook everything in there now.
Q/CS: I feel like this is what I type every cycle on 11dpo. "My temp is still up but BFN. Guess I'll be seeing a huge drop tomorrow." Yeah. I've pretty much lost hope for this cycle.
GTKY: If you had to dine at a Fast Food Restaurant which would it be? Ahhh, well depending on my current mood, I'd probably pick either Five Guys, Popeye's, or Chipotle. Runners up being Culvers and Chik Fil A. And now I'm hungry.
R/R: I got a good temp rise today and FF gave me crosshairs. I was hovering just about the cover like for the past few days. I thought I hadn't O'd. I'm still not sure, but I'm going to go with it.
Q/CS: My boobs hurt SO bad. Anyone else get that a few days after O? Ouch. I'm cautiously optimistic about my temp rise and crosshairs.
GTKY: If you had to dine at a Fast Food Restaurant which would it be? I don't know. I like lots of fast food places. Popeyes, 5 Guys, McDonald's, Taco Bell... edit- had to fix my timing

R/R: I made Christmas dinner last night and it was delicious but H and BIL lost track of time and came in late and when I said dinner is ready they were still running around doing things like changing clothes, making drinks, finding something to watch on tv. It's one of my biggest pet peeves and I've told H many times so it was especially frustrating to happen for Christmas dinner.
GTKY: I seriously miss fast food only because I can't have it because of celiac disease. I'd probably hit up McDonald's
@alysapuggles Hope you feel better soon too and sorry for BFN. @soemthingclever I'm happy to see you here and hope that those CH stick and that it was a real O! @kmornelas29 Hope you feel better soon too!
@rainbowturtles I'm glad dinner was delicious! I would be annoyed at DH and BIL! @Brooklyngirl6 wow that is early! But not unheard of for people to get a BFP! Rare, but not impossible @jillibean0871 I try and stay away from alcohol, or stop drinking after 8pm so that I have enough time for it to process and not increase my temps.

R/R: After increased anxiety around O I am finally sleeping better
Q/CS: None. Not temping after CH. I am having slight cramps and bloating which happened last time and I only had an 8 day LP. So FX that I can at least stretch that out a bit..
GTKY: If you had to dine at a Fast Food Restaurant which would it be?
I usually just get chicken nuggets and I happen to like McDonalds
Testing: Assuming the progesterone cream I'm using (under the guidance of my fertility acupuncturist/herbalist) helps with my LP again, on 12DPO.
R/R: My post-O temps are trending higher than they have in months. I'm hopeful that all the effort I've been going to is the reason for the improvement and is making a difference. At least I know I'm doing everything I can. On the flip side, I wish our timing had been better. I'm glad to have hit -1, but really would feel better if we had gotten more in.
Q/CS: Nope
GTKY: Chik-fil-A is great for low carbing, and I love their food. But if I'm doing something strictly because it's yummy, I'd go In N Out for sure.

@jess0211 In N Out Burger is delicious! Unfortunately they are only in California, Nevada and Arizona. They serve freshly made burgers and fries, and have a "secret menu" you can order from. Love animal style fries!
@Jess0211 Sadly they are only in the Western US -- I wish they would put one in Manhattan already! Really good burgers and soooooo cheap. https://www.in-n-out.com/
@jillibean0871 I think it just depends on your bodies sensitivity. I don't see a huge difference after drinking alcohol. But I also only drink 1-2 glasses a month. So probably will be different depending on consumption amount and frequency.

R/R: It feels so good to be back! I've been lurking as much as possible, but with the winter storm our internet was pretty spotty.
Rave: had some pretty amazing non-TTC sex on Christmas. My DH has been on his fertility supplements for 10ish days now, and I know it might not have anything to do with it, but he was able to finish twice within about a 20 minute time span... which is mighty impressive compared to his usual recovery time! Of course we were no where near FW, but it was still fun sex and nice to see a *possible* positive impact from the supplements.
Rant: so, my stupid local vet said my dog's urinalysis came back perfect last week...... but then his symptoms got worse and he started showing blood in his urine. Of course it was over Christmas weekend and during the snow storm, so I was only just able to get him to the vet in Bismarck today. They gave us some different antibiotics, but this is his FOURTH uti in about 8ish months. And, my local, small-town vet is very sweet, but clearly not entirely capable.
