I don't think there's any way it's O as nothing else lines up with it, just super annoying because my chart was the prettiest its ever been and my ocd brain really liked that
CS/Q:
GTKY - What are your big fears in life? Something happening to H. If I think about too long I can start crying. And a few months ago I dreamt something did and woke up ugly crying.
It explains a lot, but I was also thinking that apparently anything can happen and all this charting may just be confusing me further. I think CM has been the best predictor of O for me so far.
ETA: Sorry for being such a downer today, ladies. I'll probably get a really nice temp shift soon and will be all "yay! Temping and charting is the best!"

R/R: *TW* had a shitty weekend, didn't want to do anything and just having a hard time getting past all this. I'm supposed to call the doc tomorrow for my blood test and ultrasound results. I took a test to be sure and it's negative now. DH and I have been waiting to BD but we are getting into our fertile window and I'm getting impatient waiting. If I didn't test the day of my missed period I would've never even known that I had a CP so I don't know why we're waiting or if we even have to be. When I met with the doc he never mentioned it. Anyone have any thoughts on this? *end TW*
CS/Q: see above
GTKY - What are your big fears in life? I just worry about my family and the people I love
@beachbunnyxo123 Hugs, I'm so sorry You should take all the time you need to feel better. Fwiw my understanding is that you don't need to take a cycle off from ttc for a CP -- like you said, you might not have even known. The old literature advising to wait before trying again is considered outdated for early-stage CPs. That said, if you aren't emotionally ready yet, that's the key factor. Or, if you aren't emotionally capable of not trying, then do that. Whatever works for where you are mentally.
*TW losses mentioned* Oh my gosh @beachbunnyxo123 I must've missed when you posted about your loss, I'm so so sorry to see you back here. If your doc didn't tell you to wait a cycle, I don't see why you need to. My OB told us to wait one cycle after my 6 week loss and my cycle right after ended up being annovulatory anyway. If you feel ready to jump right back in and your doc didn't say to wait, I don't see why you need to.
Good Morning! P & G until after my conference call...
Month/Cycle: 4/4
CD: 1
WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPKs, going to start temping, HIO eod, CM
R/R: Back to my "day job" tomorrow...sigh. The last three nights I've woken up in a complete panic about work. Rave: This does mean I have one more lazy day off with DH
CS/Q: nothing.
GTKY - What are your big fears in life? Oh my gosh....I need to think on this one a little!
@beachbunnyxo123 I am so sorry for your loss. **TW**I read so much stuff after my CP in December and a lot said you don't need to wait. The main thing is, are you emotionally ready to try again? I felt ready to try two weeks later when I O'd (I did O two days earlier than normal). I was a complete emotional wreck though when I tested, got a bfn and then AF arrived. I am so sorry you are back here, but I hope that we can provide some support for you. My month after CP was really difficult, but coming here helped me grieve and talk about it since I didn't want to talk with people IRL. Hugs.**TW**
WAYDTGKU: PNV, drinking pomegranate juice every day (read it helps build uterine lining) given I have had multiple light, 2 day periods
R/R: Rave: I had an amazing night sleep again. I feel so well rested. I don't have to go back to work until Wednesday, so I got to sleep in until 10am. No rants given the day just started!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY - What are your big fears in life?
Typically, I fear failure of any kind. I try to work hard and put in a great deal of effort and if I still fail, that's really tough on my self-esteem. The lack of control in TTC doesn't help and makes me feel like a failure with each passing cycle.
R/R: so this cycle is really weird already.... AF started yesterday and has been way lighter than usual. I did have a temp drop yesterday but still not anywhere near what it usually is when AF shows, so today I expected my temp to drop further, but no it jumped way up, to near all time post-O highs... cue the BSC, so I tested this AM just to be sure, BFN. Oh and to top it off I had food poisoning yesterday.... really things have to get better
CS/Q: who knows what the hell is happening
GTKY - What are your big fears in life? loosing the twins or DH
@adirat hi girl! I hope you don't have to come back over here
@beachbunnyxo123 I'm with the other ladies, TW my RE let us jump right back in to trying after a late first trimester loss. so if your mentally up for it, I'd have at it during fertile week. hugs
*TW*
TTC 1/2012 Diagnosed : unexplained infertility 6 rounds of IUI and a MC 2/2014, rainbow twins 4/2015 TTC #3 5/2016 Restarted Fertility tx IUI 2 rounds, baby girl 12/17
@haylsbayls Ugh - how annoying those flashing smiley faces must get haha! I had a fake out (although only using Wondfos) this month, so feel your frustration with not knowing
@beachbunnyxo123 The others said everything I would have - but thought you should have more hugs xo
WAYDTGKU: everything - and lots of freaking waiting
R/R: I'm getting so frustrated with my body's fake out this cycle - even though it makes complete sense after being sick twice in 10 days... but it's still getting to me. At least I have today off still, and can enjoy one more lazy day with DH
CS/Q: Nope - still waiting
GTKY - What are your big fears in life? I think having regrets... I mean, I hate the idea of losing anyone close to me, but know that it is beyond my control. But I don't want to look back on choices I made out of fear and wish I had had the courage to do something differently
@haylsbayls yeah that's exactly why I always preferred wondfos! FX you figure it out soon.
AFM
Month/Cycle: 10/10
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: For the full arsenal of meds check my siggy, but IUI #3 this month.
R/R: Ultrasound showed that I will have 5-6 good follicles for my IUI tomorrow. This would make me feel super hopeful but last month I had 4, so *shrugs* The RE suggested that it is possible that the sperm for whatever reason weren't able to penetrate my eggs. The only solution to this is IVF with ICSI. So I'm not hugely hopeful the month but at least I can say I tried my best.
CS/Q:
GTKY - What are your big fears in life? Well besides the obvious "oh fuck I'm never going to get pregnant" I would be destroyed if my H died.
@adirat@dragonfly87 Thanks ladies It's good to be back - checked out the full extent of last week's grad thread and holy crap! So many regs! Seeing that makes me so hopeful. There's nothing better than checking that thread and seeing a bunch of regs.
@BertieMeetsGertie How did you enjoy the game yesterday? I was so excited to sport my new jersey my brother got me for Christmas!
@Dilynne I understand your fear. I sometimes worry about DH's anger, but then 2 hours later he's fine again. I wish I could let go of anger that easily, but then again, I don't get angry as often in the first place!
@cactusblossum Welcome to the ruined looking charts club!
@beachbunnyxo123 Sorry your weekend was rough! Treat yourself well! **TW** My understanding is that there is no biological need to wait after CP (later MC is suggested to wait until first period, and from what I can tell this is mostly for dating and making sure HCG returns to 0 to rule out remaining tissue) **end TW**
@jess0211 Isn't it amazing how one extra lazy day feels so good? Have fun relaxing with DH!
@dragonfly87 I also fear failure. I get unreasonably embarrassed with myself!
@metrogirl I'd get one more HIO in just in case, since you had another + OPK yesterday and a temp drop again.
@wabash15 Sorry your cycle is already throwing you for a loop!
@Sailing_Mama Sorry about the lingering cycle. Last cycle I got so bummed I thought that I was never going to O (no fertile signs in sight at CD23), then I O'd 2 days later. Hang in there, and FX you O soon!
Month/Cycle: 4/4 (3 TTCAL, 1 anovulatory cycle)
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: HIO, OPK, BBT, PNV, green tea, cutting back on alcohol
R/R: I got so much unpacking done yesterday, but it looks like I've made more of a mess than I've organized. This work will continue today since I have the day off.
CS/Q: Temp went back down today like I thought it would (artificial high temp due to drinking on NYE):
GTKY: I've always had a fear of skin cutting open and seeing blood flowing. Stems from an evil prank my dad pulled on me when I was 3. He used one of those fake blades where the blade retracts into the handle and put ketchup around it. Then he stabbed his own hand into the arm of the recliner. I ran to my room screaming and locked the door. I still can't watch any of the Saw movies because of this.
Me: 30 | DH: 31 Met: August 2006 Married: July 2012 TTC #1 since June 2016
@adirat@TravelingCouple@wabash15@dragonfly87@Sailing_Mama@antoto thanks so much for the kind words and information. You ladies are seriously the best! I'm looking forward to trying again but I know testing will be a scary thing so I will definitely be waiting that out moving forward!
@antoto good luck tomorrow fx that this is your cycle!!!!
@wabash15 you know last cycle had me riding the BSC all over.. Sorry you are too and for the BFN @antoto welcome back! P.s. I love your Instagram and wish I could move like that...I slept in and missed yoga so I was on my elliptical for 45 mins this morning so it's a step in the right direction. Ha
@icecubeinthedesert I don't temp for a few reasons ... the main one being I don't wake up at the same time everyday. DH wanted to "keep it fun" for a couple of months (he doesn't know about my OPKs and all the effort I've been putting in, haha) also I figured the holidays would be a bad time to start with the holiday drinking, etc. I think if the next two don't work, then I will start.

GTKY - What are your big fears in life? Oh my gosh....I need to think on this one a little!
**TW**I read so much stuff after my CP in December and a lot said you don't need to wait. The main thing is, are you emotionally ready to try again? I felt ready to try two weeks later when I O'd (I did O two days earlier than normal). I was a complete emotional wreck though when I tested, got a bfn and then AF arrived. I am so sorry you are back here, but I hope that we can provide some support for you. My month after CP was really difficult, but coming here helped me grieve and talk about it since I didn't want to talk with people IRL. Hugs.**TW**
@TravelingCouple @JulesDP @jess0211 Sorry for CD 1
Month/Cycle: 4/4 2 TTCAL
CD: 4
WAYDTGKU: PNV, drinking pomegranate juice every day (read it helps build uterine lining) given I have had multiple light, 2 day periods
R/R:
Rave: I had an amazing night sleep again. I feel so well rested. I don't have to go back to work until Wednesday, so I got to sleep in until 10am. No rants given the day just started!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY - What are your big fears in life?
Typically, I fear failure of any kind. I try to work hard and put in a great deal of effort and if I still fail, that's really tough on my self-esteem. The lack of control in TTC doesn't help and makes me feel like a failure with each passing cycle.
@TravelingCouple @JulesDP and @jess0211 sorry for CD1, and fx this is your cycle
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: all the normal stuff
R/R: not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, and sorry to everyone else that is feeling the same way
CS/Q: my temps are all over the place, I think O was on Saturday but I'm gonna hang here for a few more days to see what happens with my temps
GTKY - What are your big fears in life? *TW* I guess having another MC
CD: 2
WAYDTGKU: waiting for AF to leave
R/R: so this cycle is really weird already.... AF started yesterday and has been way lighter than usual. I did have a temp drop yesterday but still not anywhere near what it usually is when AF shows, so today I expected my temp to drop further, but no it jumped way up, to near all time post-O highs... cue the BSC, so I tested this AM just to be sure, BFN. Oh and to top it off I had food poisoning yesterday.... really things have to get better
CS/Q: who knows what the hell is happening
GTKY - What are your big fears in life? loosing the twins or DH
I am so sorry to all the CD 1 ladies @TravelingCouple @julesDP @jess0211
@adirat hi girl! I hope you don't have to come back over here
@beachbunnyxo123 I'm with the other ladies, TW my RE let us jump right back in to trying after a late first trimester loss. so if your mentally up for it, I'd have at it during fertile week. hugs
Diagnosed : unexplained infertility
6 rounds of IUI and a MC 2/2014, rainbow twins 4/2015
TTC #3 5/2016
Restarted Fertility tx
IUI 2 rounds, baby girl 12/17
@kiwi2628 That's not a fun way to get back to work after the New Year - hopefully it doesn't go too badly
@TravelingCouple Sorry for CD1, and the rollover to 15 - lots of creepy internet hugs
@JulesDP Sorry for CD1
@haylsbayls Ugh - how annoying those flashing smiley faces must get haha! I had a fake out (although only using Wondfos) this month, so feel your frustration with not knowing
@beachbunnyxo123 The others said everything I would have - but thought you should have more hugs xo
@jess0211 Sorry for CD1
Month/Cycle: 3/3
CD: 25
WAYDTGKU: everything - and lots of freaking waiting
R/R: I'm getting so frustrated with my body's fake out this cycle - even though it makes complete sense after being sick twice in 10 days... but it's still getting to me. At least I have today off still, and can enjoy one more lazy day with DH
CS/Q: Nope - still waiting
GTKY - What are your big fears in life? I think having regrets... I mean, I hate the idea of losing anyone close to me, but know that it is beyond my control. But I don't want to look back on choices I made out of fear and wish I had had the courage to do something differently
So sorry for these cd1s. Wine, netflix, chocolate, repeat. (this is the best solution I have found so far)
@beachbunnyxo123 Just wanted to give you *hugs*
@haylsbayls yeah that's exactly why I always preferred wondfos! FX you figure it out soon.
AFM
Month/Cycle: 10/10
CD: 12
WAYDTGKU: For the full arsenal of meds check my siggy, but IUI #3 this month.
R/R: Ultrasound showed that I will have 5-6 good follicles for my IUI tomorrow. This would make me feel super hopeful but last month I had 4, so *shrugs* The RE suggested that it is possible that the sperm for whatever reason weren't able to penetrate my eggs. The only solution to this is IVF with ICSI. So I'm not hugely hopeful the month but at least I can say I tried my best.
CS/Q:
GTKY - What are your big fears in life? Well besides the obvious "oh fuck I'm never going to get pregnant" I would be destroyed if my H died.
I'll see you all soon!

@Starla I hope it wasn't just a fluke and your temp goes back up tomorrow!
@TravelingCouple so sorry about CD1
@JulesDP and @jess0211sorry about CD1 as well
@beachbunnyxo123 I'm so sorry ❤️
Month/Cycle: 9/9
CD: 14
WAYDTGKU: PNV, OPK, BBT, Preseed, EOD
R/R:positive OPK this morning so I think I'll O tomorrow or Wednesday. H is leaving for a work trip so our timing will not be great.
CS/Q:
GTKY - What are your big fears in life?
Death. It will keep me up all night just thinking about it.
edit x2: English is hard.
@kiwi2628 Hope your day isn't too bad working all on your own! Good luck with the difficult client!
@TravelingCouple So sorry for another CD1! It's completely understandable to have a rough day!
@jmr1515 Yay for impending O!
@BertieMeetsGertie How did you enjoy the game yesterday? I was so excited to sport my new jersey my brother got me for Christmas!
@Dilynne I understand your fear. I sometimes worry about DH's anger, but then 2 hours later he's fine again. I wish I could let go of anger that easily, but then again, I don't get angry as often in the first place!
@JulesDP Sorry about CD1!
@Haylsbayls Ugh, stupid OPKs. Is there a reason you don't temp? (Sorry, I know you'll probably hear this a million times).
@purplg8r Have fun at the game!
@cactusblossum Welcome to the ruined looking charts club!
@beachbunnyxo123 Sorry your weekend was rough! Treat yourself well! **TW** My understanding is that there is no biological need to wait after CP (later MC is suggested to wait until first period, and from what I can tell this is mostly for dating and making sure HCG returns to 0 to rule out remaining tissue) **end TW**
@jess0211 Isn't it amazing how one extra lazy day feels so good? Have fun relaxing with DH!
@dragonfly87 I also fear failure. I get unreasonably embarrassed with myself!
@metrogirl I'd get one more HIO in just in case, since you had another + OPK yesterday and a temp drop again.
@wabash15 Sorry your cycle is already throwing you for a loop!
@Sailing_Mama Sorry about the lingering cycle. Last cycle I got so bummed I thought that I was never going to O (no fertile signs in sight at CD23), then I O'd 2 days later. Hang in there, and FX you O soon!
Month/Cycle: 4/4 (3 TTCAL, 1 anovulatory cycle)
CD: 17
WAYDTGKU: HIO, OPK, BBT, PNV, green tea, cutting back on alcohol
R/R: I got so much unpacking done yesterday, but it looks like I've made more of a mess than I've organized. This work will continue today since I have the day off.
CS/Q: Temp went back down today like I thought it would (artificial high temp due to drinking on NYE):
GTKY: I've always had a fear of skin cutting open and seeing blood flowing. Stems from an evil prank my dad pulled on me when I was 3. He used one of those fake blades where the blade retracts into the handle and put ketchup around it. Then he stabbed his own hand into the arm of the recliner. I ran to my room screaming and locked the door. I still can't watch any of the Saw movies because of this.

@antoto welcome back! P.s. I love your Instagram and wish I could move like that...I slept in and missed yoga so I was on my elliptical for 45 mins this morning so it's a step in the right direction. Ha
